FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information presented herein includes
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that
may cause actual future results to differ materially from those contemplated, projected, estimated or budgeted in
such forward-looking statements. Factors that may impact forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to, the following: the effects of weather; the effects of competition, including the gas Customer Choice Program;
the capital intensive nature of MichCons business; the economic climate and growth in the geographic areas in
which MichCon does business; the uncertainty of gas reserve estimates; the timing and extent of changes in
commodity prices for natural gas, electricity and crude oil; access to capital and equity markets; the effects of
changes in governmental policies and regulatory actions, including income taxes, environmental compliance and
authorized rates; and the timing of the accretive effects of DTE
Energys merger with MCN
Energy.




MANAGEMENTS NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Results of Operations discussion for MichCon is presented in accordance with General Instruction H(2)(a) of
Form 10-Q.

MichCon reported losses of $33.6 million and earnings of $20.5 million for the 2002 second quarter and six-month
period, respectively, compared with losses of $120.1 million and $22.8 million for the comparable 2001 periods.
Earnings comparability is affected by $100.9 million ($65.6 million net of taxes) of merger and restructuring
charges that were recorded in the second quarter of 2001. The earnings comparison also reflects negative margins
in the 2001 second quarter and six-month period from selling gas under MichCons Gas Sales Program, which ended
in December 2001. In 2002, MichCon had no profit or loss on the sale of gas to customers compared to $74 million
($48 million net of tax) and $29 million ($19 million net of tax) in margin losses in the 2001 second quarter and

MANAGEMENTS NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating revenues increased $53 million and $166.6 million in the 2002 second quarter and six-month period,
respectively. As subsequently discussed, the variance is due to higher revenues from gas sales customers
reflecting an increase in the gas commodity component of sales rates. During 2001, MichCon operated under the Gas
Sales Program in which the gas commodity component of its sales rates was fixed at $2.95 per thousand cubic feet
(Mcf). In January 2002, the Gas Sales Program ended and MichCon returned to a gas cost recovery mechanism (GCR)
that allows for the recovery of reasonably and prudently incurred gas costs. MichCons sales rates included a
gas commodity component of $3.62 per Mcf for January 2002 and $4.38 per Mcf for the remainder of the 2002
six-month period compared to $2.95 per Mcf in 2001. Operating revenues were also impacted by weather which was
22.6% colder in the 2002 second quarter and .8% warmer in the 2002 six-month period as compared to the same 2001
periods.

Gas sales and end user transportation revenuesin total increased $54.4 million and $166.7 million in the 2002
second quarter and six-month period, respectively, due primarily to an increase in the gas commodity component of
sales rates. Gas sales and end user transportation revenues also reflect sales associated with a varying number
of customers participating in the gas Customer Choice program. Customers participating in this program purchase
gas from suppliers other than MichCon, while MichCon continues to deliver the gas to their premises. Customer
Choice participants are

classified as end user transportation customers rather than gas sales customers. The
impact of weather also affected sales and transportation revenues and related volumes.

Intermediate transportation revenuesincreased $0.4 million in the 2002 second quarter and intermediate
transportation deliveries decreased 37.5 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the same period. Intermediate
transportation revenues remained unchanged in the 2002 six-month period and intermediate transportation
deliveries decreased 72.1 Bcf. A significant portion of the volume decrease was due to
lower storage requirements offset by a volume increase attributable to customers who pay a fixed fee for
intermediate transportation capacity regardless of actual usage. Although volumes associated with these fixed-fee
customers may vary, the related revenues are not affected.

Cost of gasis affected by variations in sales volumes, cost of purchased gas and related transportation costs,
and the effects of any permanent liquidation of inventory gas. Cost of gas sold decreased by $28.4 million and
increased $147.4 million in the 2002 second quarter and six-month period, respectively, primarily due to prices
paid for fixed-price supply and the impact in 2001 of a reduction in inventory gas. The average cost of gas sold
decreased $2.29 per Mcf (38%) and increased $1.43 per Mcf (44%) for the 2002 second quarter and six month period,
respectively, from the comparable 2001 periods. MichCon recorded the benefits of a 25 Bcf inventory liquidation
in the 2001 first quarter which was subsequently adjusted to 17.5 Bcf in the 2001 second quarter due to warmer
than normal weather. The inventory liquidation was priced at $.38 per Mcf compared to an average gas purchase
rate in 2001 of $3.64 per Mcf. Cost of gas was also affected by variations in sales volumes due to weather and
the number of customers who have chosen to purchase gas from MichCon rather than other suppliers under the gas
Customer Choice program.

Operation and maintenanceexpenses increased $7.4 million and $9.1 million for the 2002 second quarter and
six-month period, respectively, primarily due to allocated expenses from DTE Energy. Additionally, the second
quarter comparison was affected by abnormally higher levels of lost gas from storage fields resulting in a $5
million charge in the 2002 second quarter.

Merger and restructuring costswere not incurred in the 2002 second quarter and six- month period compared to
$100.9 million and $102 million incurred in the comparable
2001 periods. Merger costs associated with the DTE
Energy acquisition of MCN Energy consist primarily of system integration, relocation, legal, accounting and
consulting costs. Restructuring charges were primarily associated with a work force reduction plan.

Property write-down and contract losswere $47.8 million for the 2002 second quarter and six-month period,
respectively, due to a $33.2 million loss from the expected sale of MichCons former headquarters and a
$14.6 million charge related to termination of a contract for computer services with an unrelated third party.

MANAGEMENTS NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Other income and deductionsdecreased $6.1 million and $4.2 million for the 2002 second quarter and six-month
period, respectively, primarily due to a $6.7 million loss in the 2001 second quarter from the expected sale of
33% to 50% interests in a series of partnerships that own a residential community on the Detroit riverfront
(Harbortown). Partially offsetting the decreases for the 2002 six-month period were higher interest costs.

Income taxesincreased $46.4 million and $24.4 million for the 2002 second quarter and six-month period,
respectively, due to an increase in pre-tax earnings.

Operating Activities

Net cash from operating activities decreased $72 million due to higher working capital requirements offset by
higher net income, after adjusting for noncash items (depreciation, amortization, property write-down and contract
losses and deferred taxes). The working capital requirements reflect an overall decrease in accounts payable.
Lower accounts payable levels represent the internal focus on managing external payments. The decline in cash flow
is also due to the under-recovery of gas costs incurred totaling $38 million. With the implementation of the gas
cost recovery mechanism in January 2002, MichCon is allowed to recover its actual gas costs from gas customers.
Over the balance of 2002 this amount is expected to reverse with a small remaining under-recovery balance by
year-end that will be trued-up as part of 2002s GCR reconciliation process.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities declined $4 million reflecting declines in plant and equipment
expenditures, partially offset by proceeds received in 2001 associated with MichCons Grantor Trust.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

During 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting pronouncements concerning
goodwill and other intangible assets, asset retirement obligations and impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets. See Note 8 for a discussion of MichCons evaluation of the adoption of these new accounting
pronouncements.

MICHIGAN CONSOLIDATED GAS COMPANY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1  GENERAL

These consolidated financial statements (unaudited) should be read in conjunction with the notes to the
consolidated financial statements included in the 2001 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 10-K.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. In connection with their preparation, management makes
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of MichCons management, 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 the 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 AND RESTRUCTURING
CHARGES

On May 31, 2001, DTE Energy completed the acquisition of MCN Energy, the parent company of MichCon. The
acquisition by DTE Energy was accounted for using the purchase method. MichCons assets and liabilities included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been adjusted to allocate the purchase price to
their fair values. Certain losses reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
eliminated at DTE Energy as a result of purchase accounting adjustments.

MichCon incurred merger-related charges and restructuring charges associated with the acquisition. The
merger-related charges of $22 million ($14 million after tax) in the 2001 three-month period and $23 million ($15
million after tax) in the 2001 six-month period, consisted primarily of system integration, relocation, legal,
accounting and consulting costs. Restructuring charges of $79 million ($51 million after tax) in the 2001
three-month period, were primarily associated with a work force reduction plan. The plan included early
retirement incentives along with voluntary separation arrangements for 273 employees, primarily in overlapping
corporate support functions. The merger and restructuring costs had the effect of decreasing MichCons earnings
by $101 million ($66 million after tax) and $102 million ($66 million after tax) for the 2001 three- and
six-month periods, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 3  REGULATORY MATTERS

Gas Industry Restructuring

Through December 2001, MichCon was operating under an MPSC-approved Regulatory Reform Plan which included a
comprehensive experimental three-year gas Customer Choice program, a Gas Sales Program and an income sharing
mechanism. MichCon returned to the gas cost recovery (GCR) mechanism in January 2002 when the Gas Sales Program
expired. Under the GCR mechanism, the gas commodity component of MichCons gas sales rates is designed to recover
the actual costs of reasonably and prudently incurred gas purchases. In December 2001, the Michigan Public
Service Commission (MPSC) issued an order that permitted MichCon to implement GCR factors up to $3.62 per Mcf
for January 2002 billings and up to $4.38 per Mcf for the remainder of 2002. The order also allowed MichCon to
recognize a regulatory asset of approximately $14 million representing the difference between the $4.38 factor
and the $3.62 factor for volumes that were unbilled at December 31, 2001. The regulatory asset will be subject to
the 2002 GCR reconciliation process. As of June 30, 2002, MichCon has accrued a $52.4 million regulatory asset
representing the under-recovery of actual gas costs incurred. In July 2002, in response to a petition for
rehearing filed by the Michigan Attorney General, the MPSC directed the parties to address MichCons
implementation of the December 2001 order and the impact of that implementation on rates charged to MichCons
customers. In addition, parties are to address the advisability and lawfulness of granting MichCons request to
record a regulatory asset. In July 2002, an MPSC Administrative Law
Judge (ALJ) issued a Proposal for Decision
on MichCons 2002 GCR plan case. In that decision the ALJ recommended the adoption the MPSC Staffs proposed
$26.5 million reduction in gas cost due to MichCons decision to utilize storage gas during 2001 that resulted in
a gas inventory decrement for the 2001 calendar year.

In December 2001, the MPSC also approved MichCons application for a voluntary, expanded permanent gas Customer
Choice program, which would replace the experimental program that expired in March 2002. Effective April 2002, up
to 40% of MichCons customers could elect to purchase gas from suppliers other than MichCon. Effective April
2003, up to 60% of customers would be eligible and by April 2004, all of MichCons 1.2 million customers can
participate in the program. The MPSC also approved the use of deferred accounting for the recovery of
implementation costs of the gas Customer Choice program. As of June 2002, approximately 127,000 customers are
participating in the gas Customer Choice program.

Through December 2001, MichCon was operating under an MPSC-approved Regulatory Reform Plan which included an
income sharing mechanism. The income sharing mechanism allowed customers to share in profits when actual returns
on equity from utility operations exceed predetermined thresholds. Based on the MPSC approved formula, MichCon
believes that no income sharing is required in 2001. In July 2002, the

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

MPSC issued an order regarding MichCons
2001 income sharing. The MPSC ordered a hearing be held to determine the issue of the appropriate treatment of
$766,000 of pipeline refunds received by MichCon during 2001. MichCon is directed to make a filing setting forth
a refund methodology in August 2002.

MichCon is unable to predict the outcome of the regulatory matters discussed herein. Resolution of these matters
is dependent upon future MPSC orders, which may impact the financial position and results of operations of
MichCon.

NOTE 4  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 of net withdrawals from inventory is 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.

NOTE 5  UNUSUAL CHARGES

Property Write-down

In June 2002, MichCon recorded a $33.2 million pre-tax ($21.6 million net of taxes) loss from the expected sale
of its former headquarters. The carrying value of the property was reduced to fair value based on the
estimated selling price less cost to sell.

Contract Loss

In June 2002, MichCon recorded a $14.6 million pre-tax ($9.5 million net of taxes) charge related to the
termination of a contract for computer services with an unrelated third party.

Joint Venture Investment Loss

In May 2001, MichCon recorded a $6.7 million pre-tax ($4.4 million net of taxes) loss from the expected sale of
its 33% to 50% interests in a series of partnerships that own a residential community on the Detroit riverfront
(Harbortown).

NOTE 6  CONTINGENCIES

Personal Property Taxes

MichCon and other Michigan utilities have asserted that Michigans valuation tables result in the substantial
overvaluation of utility personal property. Valuation tables

14



---



##### Table of Contents



NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

established by the Michigan State Tax Commission
(STC) are used to determine the taxable value of personal property based on the propertys age. In November
1999, the STC approved new valuation tables that more accurately recognize the value of a utilitys personal
property. The new tables became effective in 2000 and are currently used to calculate property tax expense.
However, several local taxing jurisdictions have taken legal action attempting to prevent the STC from
implementing the new valuation tables and have continued to prepare assessments based on the superseded tables.
The legal actions regarding the appropriateness of the new tables were before the Michigan Tax Tribunal (MTT)
which, in April 2002, issued its decision essentially affirming the validity of the STCs new tables. In June
2002, petitioners in the case filed an appeal of the MTTs decision with the Michigan Court of Appeals.

Other Contingencies

Gas is sold to numerous companies operating in the steel, automotive, energy and retail industries. A number of
customers filed for bankruptcy in 2001, including certain Enron Corporation affiliates. MichCon had open
transactions under a variety of agreements with bankrupt Enron affiliates, and had an aggregate net liability of
$15 million to Enron. There are various netting agreements with Enron affiliates. Internal and external counsel
are working to determine MichCons rights within these agreements. MichCon has not reserved for any exposure in
addition to the net liabilities already recorded, as management cannot estimate a probable loss exposure and
currently does not believe the resolution of this matter will have a material impact to MichCon.

NOTE 7  DEBT COVENANTS

MichCons bank financing arrangements require
it to maintain a debt to total capitalization ratio (as defined) of no more than .55 to 1 and an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest ratio of no
less than 2 to 1. Additionally, financing arrangements contain cross-default provisions which would occur if MichCon
fails to pay principal or interest on a timely basis. MichCon is currently in compliance with these financial
covenants.

NOTE 8  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets   Effective January 1, 2002, MichCon adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which addresses the financial
accounting and reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business combination and
for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their acquisition. As of the date of adoption, MichCon
had no goodwill.

In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, MichCon also reassessed the useful lives and the classification
of identifiable intangible assets and determined that they continue to be appropriate. MichCons intangible
assets consist primarily of software

and are subject to amortization. Intangible assets amortization expense was
approximately $2 million and $5 million in the 2002 second quarter and six month period, respectively, compared
with approximately $2 million and $4 million for the comparable 2001 periods. There were no material
acquisitions of intangible assets during the six month period of 2002. The gross carrying amount of intangible
assets and accumulated amortization at June 30, 2002 were $156 million and $40 million, respectively.
Amortization expense of intangible assets is estimated to be $9 million annually for 2002 through 2006.

Asset Retirement Obligations- In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations. This statement requires that the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the
period in which it is incurred. The associated asset retirement costs would be capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset. It would apply to legal obligations associated with the retirement of
long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a
long-lived asset. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2002. MichCon will adopt this statement in January 2003 and has not yet determined the impact of this
statement on the consolidated financial statements.

Long-Lived Assets- On January 1, 2002, MichCon adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, but retains the fundamental provisions for recognizing and
measuring impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or disposed of by sale. The statement also
supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions for the disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS No. 144
eliminates the conflict between accounting models for treating the disposition of long-lived assets that existed
between SFAS No. 121 and the guidance for a segment of a business accounted for as a discontinued operation by
adopting the methodology established in SFAS No. 121, and also resolves implementation issues related to SFAS No.
121. The adoption of the statement did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of MichCon.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Michigan Consolidated Gas Company:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Michigan Consolidated
Gas Company and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002, and the related condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the condensed consolidated statements
of cash flows and retained earnings for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Michigan Consolidated Gas Companys management.

We conducted our review 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 auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America, 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 review, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, the consolidated statement of financial position of Michigan Consolidated Gas Company and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and retained earnings
for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2002, we expressed an
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2001 is fairly stated, in
all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been
derived.
