DTE Energy Company and The Detroit Edison Company

NOTE 1 — ANNUAL REPORT NOTES

      These condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report Notes and the Quarterly Report Notes. The Notes contained herein update and supplement matters discussed in the Annual Report Notes and the Quarterly Report Notes.

      The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of the Company and Detroit Edison, with respect to its own financial statements, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Financial results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year.

      Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

NOTE 2 — MERGER AGREEMENT

      On October 4, 1999 the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with MCN. MCN, a Michigan corporation, is primarily involved in natural gas production, gathering, processing, transmission, storage and distribution, electric power generation and energy marketing. MCN’s largest subsidiary is Michigan Consolidated Gas Company, a natural gas utility serving 1.2 million customers in more than 500 communities throughout Michigan. The merger, which is subject to a number of regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed in six to nine months. The merger agreement provides that the Company will acquire all outstanding shares of MCN for $28.50 per share in cash or 0.775 shares of Company common stock for each share of MCN common stock, subject to certain allocation procedures requiring that the aggregate number of shares of MCN common stock that will be converted into cash and the Company’s common stock will be equal to 55% and 45%, respectively, of the total number of shares of MCN common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger. The transaction was preliminarily valued at $4.6 billion, which includes the assumption of approximately $2 billion of MCN’s debt.

      The merger agreement provides for termination under certain circumstances; in such event, (1) the Company may be required to pay MCN a termination fee of $85 million plus expense reimbursement of up to $15 million or (2) MCN may be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $55 million plus expense reimbursement of up to $15 million.

NOTE 3 — REGULATORY MATTERS

      As discussed in Note 2 of the Annual Report, proceedings were pending regarding Detroit Edison’s recovery of certain extraordinary storm costs over a 24-month period commencing January 1998. On June 11, 1999, in an unpublished opinion, the Michigan Court of Appeals remanded back to the MPSC for hearing a November 1997 order that permitted Detroit Edison to amortize extraordinary storm damage expenses incurred in 1997 over the following two years. The MPSC had approved Detroit Edison’s request to offset the storm damage expense against a $53 million revenue requirement reduction from the 1988 Fermi settlement on an ex-parte basis. The Attorney General appealed the MPSC ruling. Detroit Edison filed a motion for rehearing with the Michigan Court of Appeals on July 1, 1999. Detroit Edison is unable to determine the timing or the outcome of these proceedings.

NOTE 4 — SHORT-TERM CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS AND BORROWINGS

      At September 30, 1999, Detroit Edison had total short-term credit arrangements of approximately $505 million under which $96 million of commercial paper was outstanding. Additionally, Detroit Edison had a $200 million trade receivables sales agreement under which $200 million was outstanding at September 30, 1999.

      At September 30, 1999, DTE Capital had short-term credit arrangements of $400 million, backed by a Support Agreement from the Company, under which no amounts were outstanding.

      In addition, the Company has entered into a total of $550 million of Support Agreements with DTE Capital for the purpose of DTE Capital’s credit enhancing activities on behalf of DTE Energy affiliates.

NOTE 5 — CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

      Detroit Edison and plaintiffs in a class action pending in the Circuit Court for Wayne County, Michigan (Gilford, et al v. Detroit Edison), as well as plaintiffs in two other pending actions which make class claims (Sanchez, et al v. Detroit Edison, Circuit Court for Wayne County, Michigan; and Frazier v. Detroit Edison, United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan), agreed to binding arbitration to settle these matters. The settlement agreement provides that Detroit Edison’s monetary liability would be no less than $17.5 million and no greater than $65 million after the conclusion of all related proceedings. In July 1998, the Consent Judgement received preliminary Court approval. The Fairness Hearing with respect to the terms of the settlement was held in August 1998, and no objections to the settlement were raised. On October 28, 1999, a panel of arbitrators awarded the plaintiffs $45.15 million. As a result of the arbitration award, Detroit Edison must deposit $40.15 million in an escrow fund for the plaintiffs by November 27, 1999. Due to sufficient prior accruals and insurance coverage, Detroit Edison does not anticipate a material 1999 earnings impact due to this award.

Independent Accountants’ Report

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DTE Energy Company and

      We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of DTE Energy Company and subsidiaries and of The Detroit Edison Company and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1999, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of DTE Energy Company’s management and of The Detroit Edison Company’s management.

      We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

      Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

      We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheets of DTE Energy Company and subsidiaries and of The Detroit Edison Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 27, 1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheets from which it has been derived.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

      This analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same periods in 1998, should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited), the accompanying Notes, the Quarterly Report Notes and the Annual Report Notes.

      Detroit Edison is the principal operating subsidiary of the Company and, as such, unless otherwise identified, this discussion explains material changes in results of operations of both the Company and Detroit Edison and identifies recent trends and events affecting both the Company and Detroit Edison.

GROWTH

      As discussed in the Annual Report, in order to sustain earnings growth with an objective of 6% growth annually, the Company and Detroit Edison have developed a business strategy focused on core competencies, consisting of expertise in developing, managing and operating energy assets, including coal sourcing, blending and transportation skills. As part of this strategy it was expected that one new line of business would be developed in 1999 through acquisition or start-up.

      As discussed in Note 2, the Company and MCN have entered into a merger agreement. Subject to the receipt of all regulatory approvals, as well as the approval of the shareholders of each company, scheduled for December 20, 1999, the merger is expected to be completed in six to nine months. The Company expects that completion of the merger will result in the issuance of approximately 30 million additional shares of its common stock and approximately $1.4 billion in additional external financing.

      The merger of the Company and MCN is expected to create a fully integrated electric and natural gas company that would be able to achieve an average of $60 million in (after-tax) cost savings per year over the first ten years of the merger. This business combination is also expected to be accretive to the Company’s earnings per share by 2001 and is expected to strongly support the Company’s commitment to a long-term earnings growth rate of 6%.

      The merger agreement also provides for a Company affiliate to purchase all of MCN’s membership interest in several limited liability companies that own and operate synthetic fuel manufacturing facilities (coal fines plants).

      The successful completion and implementation of the merger is subject to a number of risks, including the satisfactory receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, as well as the approval of the shareholders of each company. While the Company expects that the combined entity will provide for operating cost reductions, there can be no assurances that such reductions will occur. The merger is expected to create fully integrated electric and gas operations which will permit the Company to continue to successfully compete in the energy markets as competition is fully introduced and implemented; however, there can be no assurances that the new company will be successfully responsive to competitive pressures. The external financing needs of the

merger may create a sensitivity to interest rate changes; and the Company will need to successfully integrate the two operations in order to be able to service the expected debt requirements and achieve aggregate operating cost reductions. The merger is anticipated to strategically place the Company in the energy markets, but there can be no assurances that the combination will be successful.

ELECTRIC INDUSTRY RESTRUCTURING

      Various bills have been introduced and proposed for introduction at the Federal level and in the Michigan Legislature addressing competition in the electric markets. The Company and Detroit Edison are reviewing these bills; and the impact, which may include generation divestiture, of the adoption and implementation of one or more of these legislative proposals is unknown. Detroit Edison is voluntarily proceeding with the implementation of Electric Choice as provided for in MPSC Orders.

Michigan Public Service Commission

      In March 1999, the MPSC approved an interim code of conduct filed by Detroit Edison. The interim code allows DTE Energy affiliated companies to participate in the Electric Choice program. The MPSC also opened a proceeding to develop a permanent code of conduct. A final order from the MPSC is not expected until the third quarter of 2000.

      In March 1999, Detroit Edison filed an application with the MPSC for true-up of its stranded costs, including Electric Choice implementation costs, and on September 17, 1999, filed its direct testimony. The testimony recommended Detroit Edison continue to provide exclusive metering and billing service, as set forth in its approved Electric Choice Implementation Plan, at least through the transition period ending in 2007; supported its proposed true-up methodology including estimated initial transition charge levels for the year 2002 by customer class; and supported Detroit Edison’s proposed calculation of stranded costs during the bidding period. The testimony also supported revised stranded cost balances; presented Detroit Edison’s position concerning the true-up of stranded costs for actual market clearing price, and proposed a method for identifying resale mitigation resources. In addition, the testimony supported adjustment to calculations in the PSCR proceeding to account for the resale of load lost due to the Electric Choice program; and presented its proposed method for recovery of Electric Choice implementation costs. MPSC Staff and intervenors have filed testimony in opposition to Detroit Edison’s position. A final order is not expected until the first quarter of 2000.

      On July 22, 1999, the Association of Businesses Advocating Tariff Equity (ABATE) made a filing with the MPSC indicating that Detroit Edison’s retail rates produce approximately $333 million of excess revenues. Of this amount, approximately $202 million is related to ABATE’s proposed reversal of the December 28, 1998 MPSC order authorizing the accelerated amortization of Fermi 2. On September 22, 1999, Detroit Edison, the MPSC Staff (Staff), the Michigan Environmental Council and Public Research Group in Michigan, and the Attorney General (AG) filed their direct cases in

21

Table of Contents

the ABATE Complaint Case. Of particular significance is the proposal by the Staff that the MPSC establish three profitability bands for return on equity which would produce predefined benefits or penalties. Detroit Edison’s testimony supports a revenue deficiency of $33 million. The Staff concluded that no revenue sufficiency exists when Detroit Edison’s pending required review of its depreciation rates is taken into account. The Staff also assumed that the Fermi 2 Amortization Order will not be reversed. The AG proposes the reversal of the Fermi 2 Amortization Order. Detroit Edison will file rebuttal testimony in mid-November 1999. A final MPSC order is not expected until spring 2000. Detroit Edison is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding.

      On September 30, 1999, Detroit Edison filed its 2000 PSCR plan case. Fuel and purchased power costs for 2000 are projected to increase by up to 6 percent, on average, over the corresponding forecast for 1999. Detroit Edison is seeking a corresponding increase in its PSCR Factor for 2000. An order is expected in the third quarter of 2000.

Electric Choice

      On June 29, 1999, the Michigan Supreme Court, on a 4-3 vote, issued an opinion determining that the MPSC lacked authority to order retail wheeling in the context of an Electric Choice program. The Court reversed an earlier Michigan Court of Appeals opinion finding such authority and vacated two MPSC orders directing implementation of the experimental program. The Court held that the MPSC possesses no common law powers and may only exercise authority clearly conferred upon it by the Legislature. It stated that retail wheeling issues involve many policy concerns and stated that the Legislature, not the Court, is the body that must consider and weigh the economic and social costs and benefits of electric restructuring.

      On August 17, 1999, the MPSC issued an order setting a deadline of September 1, 1999 for Detroit Edison and Consumers Energy to notify the MPSC if they choose to voluntarily implement the Electric Choice program previously ordered by the MPSC. On September 1, 1999, Detroit Edison filed a letter with the MPSC reaffirming the decision to expeditiously move ahead with the voluntary implementation of Electric Choice. Consumers Energy has likewise agreed to proceed with the Electric Choice program. On September 20, 1999, the bidding on the 225 MW allotted for Detroit Edison and 150 MW allotted for Consumers Energy for the first phase of Electric Choice was fully subscribed. Four additional bidding phases are contemplated, 225 MW closing on November 19, 1999 and 225 MW each closing in January, March and November 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash From Operating Activities

      Net cash from operating activities for the Company and Detroit Edison was higher due to increased net income and changes in current assets and liabilities.

22

---

Table of Contents

Cash Used For Investing Activities

      Net cash used for investing activities for the Company was lower due to an investment in coke oven battery businesses in the prior period and lower plant and equipment expenditures.

      Net cash used for investing activities was higher for Detroit Edison due to higher plant and equipment expenditures.

Cash (Used for) From Financing Activities

      Net cash used for financing activities for the Company for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 was $283 million compared to net cash from financing activities of $211 million for the same period in 1998. This fluctuation was mainly due to a decreased usage of short-term borrowings.

      Net cash used for financing activities for Detroit Edison increased due primarily to an increase in restricted cash for debt redemptions and a decreased usage of short-term borrowings.

      Detroit Edison has an effective shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to which it may issue up to $225 million in debt securities.

      In August 1999, Detroit Edison issued $40 million of General and Refunding Mortgage Bonds.

      In August and September 1999, Detroit Edison issued three series of 30-year collateralized tax-exempt bonds totaling $225 million. The proceeds were used to redeem $40 million of debt in September 1999 and the remainder will be used for December 1999 redemptions.

      In November 1999, Detroit Edison purchased $24 million of Mortgage Bonds in the open market. These bonds have been canceled.

Year 2000

      The Company and Detroit Edison have been involved in an enterprise-wide program to address Year 2000 issues. A program office was established in mid-1997 to implement a rigorous plan to address the impact of Year 2000 on hardware and software systems, embedded systems (which include microprocessors used in the production and control of electric power), and critical service providers. The emphasis has been on mission critical systems that support core business activities or processes. Core business activities/processes include safety, environmental and regulatory compliance, product production and delivery, revenue collection, employee and supplier payment and financial asset management.

      The plan for addressing Year 2000 is divided into several phases including raising general awareness of Year 2000 throughout the Company and Detroit Edison; maintaining an inventory of systems and devices; performing an assessment of inventoried systems and devices; performing compliance testing of suspect systems and devices; remediation of non-compliant systems and devices through replacement,

Table of Contents

repair, retirement, or identifying an acceptable work around; testing and remediation of systems and devices in an integrated environment and preparing business continuity plans.

      Inventory, assessment and compliance testing phases have been completed for known systems and devices. Remediation of mission critical assets is complete. Integration planning, including the mapping of critical business processes, is complete for Detroit Edison. Integration testing for Detroit Edison is also complete.

      To support the program, the Year 2000 office has been working with major utility industry associations and organizations, customers and vendors to gather and share information on Year 2000 issues. Letters were sent to the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) concerning Year 2000 readiness on June 29, 1999 and June 30, 1999, respectively. These letters confirmed that Detroit Edison systems critical to the generation, transmission and distribution of power are ready for operation into the new millennium. The NRC responded on October 1, 1999, confirming that all requested information has been provided. The program office has contacted vendors critical to Company operations to determine their progress on Year 2000.

      To further assist in identifying potential problems, tests of generating facilities have been conducted by advancing control systems dates to the Year 2000. Results of these tests have shown that the generating facilities operated successfully in this induced “millennium mode.” Exercises were conducted on December 31, 1998 and January 1, 1999 to assess the ability to reach employees and the regional security centers of the East Central Area Reliability Group through various communication channels. The exercised communication channels operated properly. Detroit Edison back-up telecommunication systems worked as designed in a North America-wide drill conducted on April 9, 1999. Detroit Edison participated in the NERC nationwide Year 2000 drill for all utility systems on September 8 and 9, 1999. As a result of the drill, Detroit Edison was able to demonstrate its ability to deploy resources, perform operation and administrative procedures, use backup telecommunication systems and implement some contingency plans.

      In the event that an unknown Year 2000 condition adversely affects service to customers or an internal business process, contingency and business continuity plans and procedures have been developed to provide rapid restoration to normal conditions. The Company and Detroit Edison have always maintained a comprehensive operational emergency response plan. The business continuity function of the Year 2000 program supplements the existing emergency plan to include Year 2000 specific events. To manage and coordinate operations, including mobilization of all employees as necessary during the transition to the new millennium, a Year 2000 emergency coordination center was fully operational as of September 30, 1999. During the rollover event, the emergency management staffing plan calls for 1,300 working and on-call employees to manage Year 2000 issues. This is in addition to the normal holiday-weekend staff. Most of the employees work in the Fossil Generation, Nuclear Generation, Energy Delivery and Information Systems organizations. Key facilities, including substations, will be staffed during the rollover. The emergency coordination center will continuously monitor the impact of Year 2000 as it is experienced in other parts of the world and moves to the Eastern Standard Time zone.

Table of Contents

      The Company and Detroit Edison believe that with all Year 2000 modifications, business continuity and emergency management plans in place, the Year 2000 will not have a material effect on their financial position, liquidity and results of operations. Despite all efforts, there can be no assurances that Year 2000 issues can be totally eliminated. Results of modifications and testing done through September 30, 1999 have demonstrated that Detroit Edison should be able to maintain normal operating conditions into the Year 2000, although there may be isolated electric service interruptions. Detroit Edison’s internal business systems may be affected by a Year 2000 related failure that could temporarily interrupt the ability to communicate with customers, collect revenue, or complete cash transactions. In addition, no assurances can be given that the systems of vendors, interconnected utilities and customers will not result in Year 2000 problems.

      The Company estimates that Year 2000 costs will approximate $87 million with $81 million expended through September 30, 1999. Operating cash flow is expected to be sufficient to pay Year 2000 modification costs with no material impact on operating results or cash flows.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      For the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company’s net income was $161 million or $1.11 per common share as compared to $132 million or $0.91 per common share during the same period in 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net income was $386 million or $2.66 per common share compared to $337 million or $2.32 per common share during the same period in 1998.

      The 1999 three and nine month earnings were higher than 1998 due to higher electric system sales and increased utilization of tax credits generated by non-regulated businesses, partially offset by higher operating expenses, primarily Year 2000, fuel and purchased power, and depreciation and amortization expenses.

Operating Revenues

      Increases in operating revenues were due primarily to higher non-regulated subsidiary revenues, principally energy trading and coke oven battery operations, higher system sales due to increased customer base and electric usage and increased heating load for the nine month period, partially offset by decreased sales between utilities and regulated rate decreases.

25

Table of Contents

      Detroit Edison kWh sales increased (decreased) as compared to the prior year as follows:

			Three				Nine
			Months				Months
Residential				2.0	%			3.2	%
Commercial				(0.6	)			2.8
Industrial				11.1				4.7
Other (includes primarily sales for resale)				12.6				10.3
	Total System			3.9				3.8
Sales between utilities				(26.0	)			(29.6	)
	Total			2.2				0.9

      The increase in residential sales resulted from growth in the customer base and electric usage, and more heating related demand for the nine month period. Industrial sales increased, reflecting more heating related demand along with replacement energy sales for the Ford Rouge Power Plant for the nine month period and a continuation of favorable economic conditions. Commercial sales decreased for the three month period due to cooler weather. Sales to other customers increased reflecting increased demand from sales for resale customers. Sales between utilities decreased due to less power available for sale.

Operating Expenses

Fuel and Purchased Power

      For the three and nine month periods ended, fuel and purchased power expense increased for the Company due primarily to new non-regulated subsidiary expenses, principally energy trading operations. Detroit Edison fuel and purchased power expense increased due to increased purchases of higher cost power and higher system output, partially offset by increased usage of lower cost system generation as a result of increased system availability and lower fuel unit costs due to decreased nuclear fuel cost and increased usage of low cost Fermi 2 generation.

      Net system output and average fuel and purchased power unit costs for Detroit Edison were as follows:

			Three Months								Nine Months
			1999				1998				1999				1998
			(Thousands of MWh)
Power plant generation
	Fossil			11,847				11,387				32,021				32,784
	Nuclear			2,377				1,445				7,028				5,734
Purchased power				1,988				2,924				5,761				5,706
Net system output				16,212				15,756				44,510				44,224
Average unit cost ($/MWh)
	Generation		$	12.80			$	13.18			$	12.54			$	12.88
	Purchased power			101.62				53.81				60.38				48.33

Table of Contents

Operation and Maintenance

      Operation and maintenance expense increased for the three and nine month periods due to new non-regulated subsidiary operation expense ($33 million) and ($126 million), respectively, higher transmission and distribution related expenses for the three month period ($26 million) and higher expenses for Year 2000 testing and remediation for the nine month period ($27 million). The increase in non-regulated subsidiary operation expense was due to the increased level of operation and the addition of new businesses.

Income Taxes

      Income tax expense for the Company decreased in 1999 due primarily to increased utilization of alternate fuels credits generated from non-regulated businesses and the end of the Fermi 2 phase-in plan.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      Certain information presented herein is based on the expectations of the Company and Detroit Edison, and, as such, is forward-looking. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 encourages reporting companies to provide analyses and estimates of future prospects and also permits reporting companies to point out that actual results may differ from those anticipated.

      Actual results for the Company and Detroit Edison may differ from those expected due to a number of variables including, but not limited to, weather, actual sales, the effects of competition and the phased-in implementation of Electric Choice, the implementation of utility restructuring in Michigan (which involves pending and proposed regulatory and legislative proceedings, and the recovery of stranded costs), environmental (including proposed regulations to limit nitrogen oxide emissions) and nuclear requirements, the impact of FERC proceedings and regulations, the success of non-regulated lines of business and the timely completion and functioning of Year 2000 modifications. In addition, expected results will be dependent upon the successful completion and implementation of the Company’s pending merger with MCN. While the Company and Detroit Edison believe that estimates given accurately measure the expected outcome, actual results could vary materially due to the variables mentioned as well as others. This discussion contains a Year 2000 readiness disclosure.

      In a lawsuit filed in January 1999 in the Circuit Court for Wayne County Michigan (Cook, et al v. Detroit Edison), a number of individual plaintiffs have claimed employment-related sex, gender and race discrimination, as well as harassment. A hearing on plaintiffs’ request for class action certification is scheduled to be held in December 1999. Detroit Edison believes the claims are without merit and class action certification is not appropriate.
