MCN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
MCN reports record first quarter earnings -- MCN's earnings for the 1996
quarter increased 30% or $18.5 million ($.18 per share) over the first quarter
of 1995. Earnings for the 1996 twelve-month period also increased a healthy
64% or $45.0 million ($.56 per share) over the comparable 1995 period.
Earnings per share comparisons reflect approximately 10% more shares
outstanding in the current quarter and twelve-month period.
Significant earnings growth was achieved in both the Gas Distribution and
Diversified Energy groups, and reflects the continued success of MCN's
diversification strategy. Earnings from discontinued operations were
relatively flat and reflect the operating results of The Genix Group, Inc.
(Genix), MCN's computer operations services subsidiary. As discussed in the
"Discontinued Operations" section that follows, MCN intends to sell Genix
during the second quarter of 1996. A summary of financial performance follows:

Strategic direction -- MCN's primary objective is to achieve superior, long-
term returns for its shareholders. To accomplish this, MCN will aggressively
invest in a diverse portfolio of domestic and international energy-related
projects. The success of this strategy will be demonstrated by the growth of
MCN's earnings and the total return to its shareholders over time.
GAS DISTRIBUTION
Results reflect 5.7% colder than normal weather -- Earnings increased $14.1
million ($.12 per share) and $35.8 million ($.45 per share) for the 1996
quarter and twelve-month period, respectively, as compared to the same 1995
periods. The increases are primarily due to higher gas deliveries resulting
from significantly colder weather, increased transportation deliveries, as well
as lower operating expenses.

GAS SALES AND END USER TRANSPORTATION deliveries in total increased 17 billion
cubic feet (Bcf) in the 1996 quarter and 44.8 Bcf in the 1996 twelve-month
period. The increases are primarily due to colder weather, as well as market
expansion through the addition of over 5,000 new customers during the 1996
quarter and over 17,000 since March of 1995. For the twelve-month period, end
user transportation deliveries also reflect an overall higher level of gas
usage by large-volume commercial and industrial customers, including gas
cogeneration facilities. Deliveries to the Michigan Power project, MCN
Investment Corporation's (MCNIC's) 50%-owned 123 megawatt cogeneration plant
that became operational in October 1995, represented 3 Bcf and 5 Bcf of the
increase during the 1996 quarter and twelve-month period, respectively.

<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
INTERMEDIATE TRANSPORTATION deliveries continued to rise, increasing 35.4 Bcf
and 86.8 Bcf in the 1996 quarter and twelve-month period, respectively,
primarily as a result of increased transportation of Antrim gas for Michigan
gas producers and brokers. In order to meet this growing demand, MichCon
recently expanded the transportation capacity of its northern Michigan
gathering system. A significant portion of the project was completed in 1995,
and the remainder is to be completed by mid-1996. This expansion enabled
MichCon to transport an additional 20.3 Bcf and 36.5 Bcf of natural gas in the
1996 quarter and twelve-month period, respectively. Profit margins on
intermediate transportation services are considerably less than margins on gas
sales or for end user transportation markets.
COST OF GAS
Cost of gas is affected by variations in sales volumes and cost of gas rates.
Through the Gas Cost Recovery (GCR) mechanism, MichCon's rates are set to
recover 100% of prudently and reasonably incurred gas costs. Therefore,
fluctuations in cost of gas sold have little or no effect on gross margins and
earnings.
Cost of gas sold increased in the 1996 quarter and twelve-month period due to
higher sales volumes resulting primarily from the colder weather, as well as
higher prices paid for natural gas in the spot market. The increase in market
prices paid for gas resulted in an increase in the cost of gas sold per
thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of $.51 (22%) and $.27 (11%) in the 1996 quarter and
twelve-month period, respectively, from the comparable 1995 periods.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE expenses decreased in the 1996 quarter and twelve-
month period due to lower employee benefit costs, primarily pension and
retiree healthcare costs. The current quarter also reflects a reduction in
labor costs. Management's ongoing efforts to reduce operating costs also
contributed to the decreases.
DEPRECIATION AND DEPLETION increased in both 1996 periods due to higher plant
balances, reflecting capital expenditures of $396.1 million over the past two
calendar years.
PROPERTY AND OTHER TAXES for the 1996 quarter and twelve-month period
increased due to higher property balances and higher Michigan single business
taxes resulting from increased earnings.
OTHER INCOME & DEDUCTIONS
The increase in other income & deductions for both 1996 periods reflects
additional interest expense relating to an increase in the average amount of
long-term debt outstanding.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes increased for the 1996 quarter and twelve-month period due
primarily to increases in earnings.
OUTLOOK
Gas Distribution's strategy is to grow revenues and reduce its cost structure
in order to maintain strong returns and provide customers with quality service
at competitive prices. The success of this strategy is evident in current
operating results. MCN is focused on continuing this trend in 1996 and beyond.

<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
DIVERSIFIED ENERGY
Earnings more than double -- The Diversified Energy group reported higher
earnings from all of its operating units, with a combined increase of $4.4
million ($.07 per share) and $9 million ($.12 per share) for the quarter and
twelve-month period, respectively. Reflecting the success of MCN's strategy to
invest in various segments of the natural gas industry, earnings continued
their growth principally from increased contributions from Exploration &
Production (E&P) and Gas Marketing & Cogeneration operations. Improved results
from Gas Gathering & Processing also contributed to the increases. The
earnings improvements were partially offset by increased financing costs as a
result of additional capital needed to fund investments.

GAS SERVICES
EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION operating income increased $2.4 million for the 1996
quarter and $5.5 million for the twelve-month period. The results reflect a
significantly higher level of gas produced from properties that have been
acquired since mid-1994 and the development of other new projects. Gas
production was 12.5 Bcf in the quarter, nearly a 100% increase over the 1995
level of 6.4 Bcf. Additionally, E&P operations have increased Diversified
Energy's earnings through the generation of an increasing amount of federal
gas production tax credits.
4
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
E&P operating results were also impacted by a higher average sales rate for
1996, reflecting higher than expected natural gas prices. The average sales
rate per Mcf increased $.10 to $2.09 in the 1996 quarter and increased $.10 to
$2.05 in the 1996 twelve-month period. The average sales rates include the
effect of natural gas swap agreements which are used to manage Diversified
Energy's exposure to the risk of market price fluctuations. Natural gas swap
agreements had the effect of reducing the average sales rate for the 1996
quarter by $.33 per Mcf and increasing the sales rate for the current twelve-
month period by $.21 per Mcf. Natural gas swap agreements increased the
average sales rates for the 1995 quarter and twelve-month period by $.61 per
Mcf and $.18 per Mcf, respectively.
GAS MARKETING & COGENERATION operating income for the 1996 quarter and twelve-
month period increased $3.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, from the
comparable 1995 periods due to higher gas sales volumes at more favorable
margins. The 63% increase for the quarter and the 34% increase for the twelve-
month period in gas sales volumes were driven by additional sales to customers
in the midwest and northeast United States and eastern Canada.
GAS GATHERING & PROCESSING operating income increased $1.5 million and $1.7
million for the 1996 quarter and twelve-month period, respectively. The
increases reflect income from the first quarter 1996 acquisition of a 99%
interest in the Dauphin Island Gathering Partnership. The partnership owns a
90 mile gas gathering system in the Mobile Bay area of offshore Alabama. In
addition, earnings were favorably affected by increased volumes of gas
processed during the quarter and twelve-month period of 6.4 Bcf and 17.4 Bcf,
respectively.

RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY -- Risks associated with significant future E&P
activities will be minimized by diversifying investments along the lines of
geography, geology, risk profile and technology, as well as by partnering with
operators who bring capital and expertise. MCN primarily manages price risk by
attempting to maintain a balanced portfolio of gas supply and gas sales
agreements. MCN uses natural gas futures, options and swap contracts to manage
its price risk by offsetting a large portion of its open positions. MCN has
hedged most of its gas and oil production over the next ten years which is not
covered by long-term fixed-price sales obligations.
CORPORATE & OTHER
Corporate & other reflects administrative expenses associated with corporate
management activities. The Diversified Energy group has been allocated a
larger portion of such expenses reflecting its growing percentage of MCN.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF JOINT VENTURES
Earnings from joint ventures increased $1.3 million and $.9 million for the
1996 quarter and twelve-month period, respectively. The increase for the
quarter is primarily due to additional income related to the December 1995
acquisition of a 50% interest in a 40 mile gas gathering line in Virginia, as
well as the start-up of commercial operations at the Michigan Power
cogeneration project during the fourth quarter of 1995. The increase for the
twelve-month period reflects lower losses from the Ada cogeneration facility
and the start-up of the Michigan Power cogeneration project.

OTHER INCOME & DEDUCTIONS
The 1996 quarter and twelve-month period reflect higher interest costs on
increased borrowings required to finance capital investments in the
Diversified Energy group. In addition, the twelve-month period increase
reflects dividends on $100 million of preferred securities of a subsidiary
which were issued in November 1994.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes for the 1996 quarter and twelve-month period were favorably
impacted by increased federal gas production tax credits related to E&P
projects. Income taxes were also impacted by increased federal taxes on
improved pretax earnings in the 1996 quarter and twelve-month period.
OUTLOOK
MCN plans to continue aggressively growing its E&P reserve base in lower risk
areas which generate attractive returns. The development of reserves will
contribute toward a reliable long-term supply to meet the increased sales
requirements of MCN's Gas Marketing & Cogeneration operations as it expands
into areas beyond Michigan's borders. In addition, MCN plans to invest in gas
gathering facilities outside of Michigan, targeting areas that contain gas
marketing or E&P opportunities.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the second quarter of 1996, MCN announced its intention to sell its
computer operations subsidiary, Genix. Although Genix has experienced
significant growth in revenues and operating income over the past several
years, MCN's focused strategy is to invest in energy-related projects that
generate higher rates of return. Proceeds from the sale will be used to
partially fund Diversified Energy's capital investments. Accordingly, Genix
has been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Income from discontinued operations was $1.0 million for the current quarter
unchanged from the comparable quarter in 1995. For the twelve-month period,
income increased $.2 million to $3.6 million. Results for the 1996 quarter and
twelve-month period reflect an increase in revenues from new business added
throughout the quarter and 1995, offset by higher software and start-up
expenses associated with new business. Genix expects that the new software
will facilitate continued growth in revenues through the broadening of its
products and services. Summary statements and other information on
discontinued computer operations can be found in note 4 to the consolidated
financial statements.

<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
MCN's cash flow from operating activities decreased $31.2 million during the
1996 quarter from the comparable 1995 period. The decrease was due primarily
to an increase in working capital requirements, partially offset by higher
income, after adjusting for depreciation and deferred taxes.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
MCN issues new shares of common stock pursuant to its Dividend Reinvestment
and Stock Purchase Plan and various employee benefit plans. During 1996, MCN
anticipates the issuance of new shares of common stock pursuant to these
plans, generating approximately $18 million. During the first three months of
1996, issuances under these plans generated proceeds of $4.4 million.
In March 1996, MCN filed a registration statement with the Securities Exchange
Commission (SEC). This registration, along with an existing shelf
registration, allows for the issuance of up to $400 million of securities,
including preferred equity, common equity and debt securities.
In April 1996, MCN issued 5,865,000 Preferred Redeemable Increased Dividend
Equity Securities (PRIDES), yielding 8 3/4%, under this shelf registration
(Note 3b). The PRIDES are convertible securities that consist of a contract
under which MCN is obligated to sell and the PRIDES holder is obligated to
purchase approximately $135 million of MCN common stock in April 1999. The
issuance of these securities, which will convert into common stock in April
1999, enhances MCN's creditworthiness. The PRIDES are currently rated the
equivalent of "BBB+" by the major rating agencies.
GAS DISTRIBUTION
Cash and cash equivalents normally increase and short-term debt is reduced in
the first part of each year as gas inventories are depleted and funds are
received from winter heating sales. During the first quarter of 1996, MichCon
repaid $51.7 million of short-term debt including commercial paper. During the
latter part of the year, cash and cash equivalents normally decrease as funds
are used to finance increases in gas inventories and customer accounts
receivable. To meet its seasonal short-term borrowing needs, MichCon normally
issues commercial paper which is backed by credit lines with several banks.
MichCon has established credit lines to allow for borrowings of up to $100
million under a 364-day revolving credit facility and up to $150 million under
a three-year revolving credit facility. Commercial paper of $118 million was
outstanding as of March 31, 1996 under these lines.
MichCon maintains a Trust Demand Note program which allows for borrowings of
up to $25 million through April 1996. Borrowings of $25 million were
outstanding under this program at March 31, 1996 and were repaid in April
1996.
DIVERSIFIED ENERGY
In January 1996, MCNIC issued $200 million of medium-term notes using the
proceeds to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. In
anticipation of future permanent capital requirements, MCNIC and MCN filed a
joint shelf registration statement with the SEC in March 1996 that allows for
the issuance of up to an additional $500 million of debt securities.
MCNIC maintains a $400 million commercial paper program to finance capital
investments and working capital requirements of its gas marketing operations.
During the first quarter of 1996, MCNIC repaid $76.7 million of commercial
paper leaving $297 million outstanding under this program at March 31, 1996.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Capital investments equaled $181.1 million in the 1996 quarter compared to
$86.7 million for the same period in 1995. The increase was due to higher
Diversified Energy investments, primarily for E&P expenditures, as well as the
Dauphin Island gathering system acquisition. Gas Distribution capital
expenditures were incurred to develop new gas distribution and transportation
markets.

========== ==========
</TABLE>
OUTLOOK
Capital investments in 1996 are expected to reach $850 million -- MCN's
strategic direction is to grow significantly by investing in a portfolio of
energy-related projects. For 1996, MCN anticipates investing approximately
$250 million in Gas Distribution and approximately $600 million in Diversified
Energy. Capital investments in Gas Distribution will be made to add new gas
sales customers, develop new gas transportation markets and make improvements
to existing systems. This includes construction of a 59 mile loop of MichCon's
existing Milford-to-Belle River Pipeline which will improve the overall
reliability and efficiency of MichCon's gas storage and transmission system.
The pipeline is anticipated to be completed in early 1997 at a cost of
approximately $80 million. Within Diversified Energy, approximately $400
million will be invested in E&P projects for drilling operations and to
acquire reserves in the Michigan, Appalachian, Midcontinent, Gulf Coast and
Rocky Mountain regions. Diversified Energy will invest the remaining $200
million in gas gathering, gas processing and power generation projects.
Issuance of equity and debt securities are anticipated in 1996 -- The proposed
level of investments for 1996 increases capital requirements materially in
excess of internally generated funds and requires the issuance of additional
debt and equity securities. MCNIC is in the process of issuing $130 million of
medium-term notes during the second quarter of 1996. MCN and its subsidiaries
also anticipate issuing debt and equity securities during 1996 under their
existing shelf registrations statements. MCN's actual capital requirements and
general market conditions will affect the timing and amount of future
issuances. Additionally, MCN anticipates generating cash from the intended
sale of Genix and certain other assets. It is management's opinion that MCN
and its subsidiaries will have sufficient capital resources, both internal and
external, to meet anticipated capital requirements.

MCN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with MCN's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial statements to
conform with the 1996 presentation. The unaudited information furnished
herein, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments (consisting of
only recurring adjustments or accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of operations during the periods.
Because of seasonal and other factors, revenues, expenses, net income and
earnings per share for the interim periods should not be construed as
representative of revenues, expenses, net income and earnings per share for
all or any part of the balance of the current year or succeeding periods.
2. ACQUISITION
During the first quarter of 1996, MCN acquired a 99% interest in the Dauphin
Island Gathering Partnership. The partnership owns a 90 mile gas gathering
system in the Mobile Bay area of offshore Alabama. The total cost of the
acquisition was $78,620,000 and was accounted for under the purchase method.
3. CAPITALIZATION
A. LONG-TERM DEBT
The following long-term debt was issued during the first quarter of 1996
(in thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
ISSUE DATE DESCRIPTION AMOUNT ISSUED
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<C> <S> <C>
January 1996 MCNIC Medium-Term Notes
5.84%, due February 1999 $ 80,000
6.03%, due February 2001 $ 60,000
6.32%, due February 2003 $ 60,000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>
B. PREFERRED REDEEMABLE INCREASED DIVIDEND EQUITY SECURITIES (PRIDES)
In April 1996, MCN issued 5,865,000 PRIDES yielding 8 3/4% with a stated
amount of $23.00 per security. Each security represents a contract to
purchase MCN common stock in April 1999 (or earlier under certain
circumstances). Proceeds from the issuance totaling approximately
$135,000,000 were used to acquire 6.5% U.S. Treasury Notes underlying the
security as subsequently discussed. Accordingly, MCN received no cash from
issuing the PRIDES.
Under each security, MCN is obligated to sell and the PRIDES holder is
obligated to purchase for $23.00, between .8333 of a share and one share of
MCN common stock. The exact number of MCN common shares to be sold is
dependent on the market value of a share in April 1999. However, the total
number to be sold will not be less than 4,887,500 shares or more than
5,865,000 shares. MCN is also obligated to pay semi-annually to the PRIDES
holder a yield enhancement payment at an annual rate of 2 1/4% of the
stated amount. MCN has the right to defer the yield enhancement payment in
which case MCN cannot declare dividends on its common stock until the yield
enhancement payment has been made.
The Treasury Notes underlying the securities are pledged as collateral to
secure the PRIDES holders' obligation to purchase MCN common stock under
the stock purchase contract. At maturity, in April 1999, the principal
received from the U.S. Treasury Notes will be used to satisfy in full the
PRIDES holders' obligation. Neither the PRIDES nor the U.S. Treasury Notes
will be included on MCN's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
However, the issuance of common stock will be reflected when cash proceeds
totaling approximately $135,000,000 are received by MCN in April 1999.

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In April 1996, MCN announced its intention to sell its computer operations
subsidiary, The Genix Group, Inc. (Genix). Accordingly, Genix has been
accounted for as a discontinued operation. The disposition is expected to
occur in the second quarter of 1996 and result in a gain. The following
financial information summarizes Genix's operations:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
5. GAS IN INVENTORY
Inventory gas is priced on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis. In anticipation
that interim inventory reductions will be replaced prior to year end, the cost
of gas for net withdrawals from inventory is generally recorded at the
estimated average purchase rate for the calendar year. The excess of these
charges over the LIFO cost is credited to the gas inventory equalization
account. During interim periods when there are net injections to inventory,
the equalization account is reversed. Approximately 23.8 billion cubic feet
(Bcf) and 42.8 Bcf of gas was in inventory at March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
6. ACCOUNTING FOR COMMODITY SWAP AGREEMENTS
As discussed in MCN's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K, MCN manages commodity
price risk through the use of various derivative instruments and limits the
use of such instruments to hedging activities. If MCN did not use derivative
instruments, its exposure to such risk would be higher. Although this strategy
reduces risk, it also limits potential gains from favorable changes in
commodity prices. Natural gas and oil swap agreements are used to manage
exposure to the risk of market price fluctuations on gas sale contracts, and
gas and oil production. Market value changes of swap contracts are deferred
and recorded as a deferred gain or deferred loss until the hedged transaction
is completed, at which time the realized gain or loss is included as an
adjustment to revenues. The offset to the unrealized losses is recorded as
deferred payables and the offset to the unrealized gains is recorded as
deferred receivables.
The following assets and liabilities related to the use of gas and oil swap
agreements are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position:

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
As discussed in MCN's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K, MCN accrued an
additional environmental remediation liability and corresponding regulatory
asset of $35,000,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995. MCN has notified
current and former insurance carriers of the environmental conditions and
is pursuing its claims against these carriers. In the first quarter of
1996, MCN received its first settlements from insurance carriers and
expects additional insurance recoveries over the next several years. At
March 31, 1996, the reserve balance is approximately $38,400,000, of which
$3,400,000 is classified as current.
B. OTHER
MCN is involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings before
various courts and governmental agencies concerning claims arising in the
ordinary course of business. Management cannot predict the final
disposition of such proceedings, but believes that adequate provision has
been made for probable losses. It is management's belief, after discussion
with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of those proceedings still
pending will not have a material adverse effect on MCN's financial
statements.
8. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" in
October 1995. The statement requires certain disclosures about stock-based
employee compensation and encourages, but does not require, a fair-value-based
method of accounting for such compensation. MCN is currently evaluating
whether to adopt the fair-value-based method of accounting and its impacts.
9. CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Debt securities issued by MCNIC are subject to a support agreement between MCN
and MCNIC, under which MCN has committed to make payments of interest and
principal on MCNIC's securities in the event of failure to pay by MCNIC. Under
the terms of the support agreement, the assets of MCN, other than MichCon, and
any cash dividends paid to MCN by any of its subsidiaries are available as
recourse to holders of MCNIC's securities. The carrying value of MCN's assets
on an unconsolidated basis, primarily investments in its subsidiaries other
than MichCon, is $289,956,000 at March 31, 1996.
The following MCN consolidating financial statements are presented and include
separately MCNIC, MichCon and MCN and other subsidiaries. MCN has determined
that separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning MCNIC are
not material to investors. The other MCN subsidiaries represent Citizens Gas
Fuel Company, Blue Lake Holdings, Inc. and MCN Michigan Limited Partnership.

(1) Earnings and fixed charges are defined and computed in accordance with
Item 503 of Regulation S-K.
(2) This amount represents the aggregate of (a) the pre-tax income from
continuing operations of MCN and its majority-owned subsidiaries, (b)
MCN's share of pre-tax income of its 50% owned companies, and (c) any
income actually received from less than 50% owned companies.
(3) Fixed charges added to earnings are adjusted to exclude interest
capitalized during the period for nonutility companies and the preferred
securities dividend requirements of MichCon included in fixed charges but
not deducted in the determination of pre-tax income.
(4) Fixed charges represent (a) interest, whether expensed or capitalized, (b)
amortization of debt discount, premium and expense, (c) an estimate of
interest implicit in rentals, and (d) preferred securities dividend
requirements of subsidiaries (MichCon and MCN Michigan Limited Partnership),
increased to reflect the pre-tax earnings requirement for MichCon.
(5) In April 1996, MCN announced its intention to sell The Genix Group, its
computer services subsidiary. For purposes of calculating the Ratio of
Earnings to Fixed Charges, it has been classified as a discontinued
operation and therefore excluded from the ratio for all periods presented.
