Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

        On March 7, 2003, The Dayton Power and Light Company (the "Company") was notified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company's independent accountants that it declined to stand for reelection by the Finance and Audit Review Committee of the Board of Directors as the Company's independent accountants for the year ended December 31, 2003.

        The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

        In connection with the audits of the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and through March 7, 2003, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to make reference thereto in its report on the Company's financial statements for such years.
