Discontinued Operations

On January 1, 2016, DPL closed on the sale of DPLER, its competitive retail business. The sale agreement was signed on December 28, 2015 and DPL received $75.5 million of restricted cash on December 31, 2015 for the sale. This amount was shown as Restricted cash with the associated liability shown as "Deposit received on sale of DPLER" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. Assets and liabilities related to DPLER were reclassified to "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale" in the December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheet. DPL recorded a gain on this transaction of $49.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. The gain includes the impact of DPLER’s liability to DP&L that transferred with the sale on January 1, 2016 but was eliminated in consolidation at December 31, 2015. Deferred taxes and intercompany balances were not reclassified to held for sale.

Operating activities related to DPLER have been reclassified to "Discontinued operations" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

The following table summarizes the major categories of assets, liabilities at the dates indicated, and the revenues, cost of revenues, operating expenses and income tax of discontinued operations for the periods indicated:
