NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
DTE ENERGY COMPANY, THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

NOTE 1 - ANNUAL REPORT NOTES

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

NOTE 2 - FERMI 2

As discussed in the Annual Report Notes and the Quarterly Report Notes,
Fermi 2 was shut down earlier in 1997 for inspection and required repairs and
testing. Repairs to the main generator were completed and the unit was
restarted on May 2, 1997. The unit was operating at more than 90 percent power
from May 17, 1997 through October 2, 1997. On October 3, 1997, Fermi 2 was
shut down to replace two defective fuel assemblies. It restarted on October
19, 1997.

NOTE 3 - REGULATORY MATTERS

As discussed in Part I, Item 2, herein, there are continuing proceedings
in the State of Michigan for electric industry restructuring. While the
Company and Detroit Edison believe that the ultimate outcome of these
proceedings will allow for recovery of investment in utility assets, including
recorded regulatory assets, the actual amounts recovered may differ from the
recorded amounts.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As discussed in the Annual Report Notes and the Quarterly Report Notes, a
class action is pending in the Circuit Court for Wayne County, Michigan
(Gilford, et al v Detroit Edison) in which plaintiffs are alleging that Detroit
Edison has engaged in age and racial discrimination. The Court set January 19,
1998 as the opening date for trial in this matter. Detroit Edison is of the
opinion that the allegations of discrimination are without merit.

16


NOTE 5 - SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

The Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of
one Right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of Common Stock, without par
value (the "Common Shares"), of the Company, payable on October 6, 1997. Each
Right entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase from the Company one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,
without par value (the "Preferred Shares"), of the Company at a price of $90.00
per one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment and upon the
happening of certain events. The terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights
Agreement, dated as of September 23, 1997 (the "Rights Agreement"), between the
Company and The Detroit Edison Company, as Rights Agent.

The Rights will expire on October 6, 2007 unless earlier redeemed,
exchanged or amended by the Company. On October 6, 1997, 1.5 million shares of
Preferred Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Rights Agreement.

The Rights Agreement also provides that in the event (i) any person
becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding Common Shares,
(ii) any such acquiror merges into or combines with the Company and the Company
is the surviving corporation, (iii) any such acquiror effects certain other
transactions with the Company, or (iv) during such time the Company effects
certain transactions, then, in each such case, holders of Rights, other than
Rights of such acquiror, will have the right to receive, upon exercise at the
then-current exercise price of the Right, that number of Common Shares that
have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Rights in whole, but not in
part, at a price of $.01 per Right, at any time prior to the occurrence of an
event which would permit the Rights to be exercised.

The Rights Agreement may be amended by the Company without the approval of
any holders of Rights Certificates, including amendments that increase or
decrease the purchase price, that add other events requiring adjustment to the
purchase price payable and the number of the Preferred Shares or other
securities issuable upon the exercise of the Rights or that modify procedures
relating to the redemption of the Rights, except that no amendment may be made
that decreases the stated redemption price to an amount less than $.01 per
Right.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DTE Energy Company and
The Detroit Edison Company

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of
DTE Energy Company and subsidiary companies and of The Detroit Edison Company
and subsidiary companies as of September 30, 1997, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the condensed
consolidated statements of common shareholders' equity for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1997. 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 subsidiary
companies and of The Detroit Edison Company and subsidiary companies as of
December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income, common
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated January 27, 1997, 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, 1996 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.
DTE ENERGY COMPANY, THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
COMPANIES


This analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, as
compared to the same periods in 1996, 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 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's net income
was $131.9 million, or $0.91 per common share as compared to the $44.9 million,
or $0.31 per common share earned in the three months ended September 30, 1996.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company's net income was
$287.8 million, or $1.98 per common share as compared to the $231.6 million, or
$1.60 per common share earned in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The
1996 three-month and nine-month periods included a steam heating special charge
of $149.2 million ($97 million after tax), or $0.67 per common share.

The 1997 three-month and nine-month earnings were lower than the 1996
earnings, adjusted for the steam heating special charge. The 1997 three-month
period included the costs of restoring portions of Detroit Edison's distribution
system destroyed or severely damaged during a storm on July 2, 1997. In
addition, the 1997 nine-month period included the costs of a March 1997 ice
storm and an increase in the Fermi 2 capacity factor performance standard
reserve due to a repair and maintenance outage at Fermi 2 earlier this year.


OPERATING REVENUES

THREE MONTHS

Increases in operating revenues were due primarily to higher non-regulated
subsidiary revenues and higher interconnection sales, partially offset by
decreases in total system revenues driven mainly by lower rates.

NINE MONTHS

Increases in Company operating revenues were due primarily to higher
non-regulated subsidiary revenues, which were partially offset by decreases in
total system

18
19

revenues, driven mainly by lower rates and recording the Fermi 2 capacity
factor performance standard reserve. Decreases in Detroit Edison operating
revenues were due primarily to decreases in total system revenues, driven
mainly by lower rates and recording the Fermi 2 capacity factor standard
reserve.

kWh Sales

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


Three Nine
Months Months
------ ----------

Residential (2.1)% (1.5)%
Commercial 2.8 0.9
Industrial (0.7) 0.9
Other (includes primarily sales for resale) 16.2 4.0
Total System 0.8 0.4
Interconnection 62.7 19.6
Total 3.8 1.2


The decreases in residential sales reflect less heating and cooling demand
which more than offset growth in the customer base. Commercial sales increased
for the three-month period reflecting a continuation of good economic
conditions which offset the decline in cooling demand. The decrease in
industrial sales for the three-month period reflects a small decrease in sales
to the steel sector. Sales to other customers increased in the three-month
period reflecting increased demand from sales for resale customers.
Interconnection sales increased for the three-month and nine-month periods due
to greater demand for energy.


OPERATING EXPENSES

FUEL AND PURCHASED POWER

Net system output and average fuel and purchased power unit costs were as

THREE MONTHS

Fuel and purchased power expense increased due to higher net system
output, partially offset by lower average unit costs. Lower average unit costs
resulted primarily from decreasing nuclear fuel expense due to aggressive
nuclear procurement strategies and increased operating efficiencies at Fermi 2.
The completion of the amortization of coal contract buyouts expense also
contributed to the lower average unit cost.

NINE MONTHS

Fuel and purchased power expense decreased due to the amortization of the
reserve for steam purchase commitments, partially offset by higher net system
output and higher average costs. Average costs were higher due primarily to
increased purchases of power while Fermi 2 was shut down earlier in the year.

OTHER OPERATION

THREE MONTHS

Other operation expense increased primarily due to higher expenses related
to non-regulated subsidiaries ($41.0 million), higher shareholder value
improvement plan expenses ($14.8 million) and storm expenses ($8.8 million).
These increases were partially offset by lower post-retirement expenses ($10.4
million).

NINE MONTHS

Other operation expense increased due primarily to higher expenses related
to non-regulated subsidiaries ($57.5 million), higher shareholder value
improvement plan expenses ($17.7 million), higher storm expenses ($12.9
million) and operating expense related to new computer systems ($6.3 million).
These expenses were partially offset by lower post-retirement benefit expenses
($12.4 million).

MAINTENANCE

THREE MONTHS

Maintenance expense increased primarily due to higher major storm expenses
($12.9 million) which were partially offset by lower overhead lines support
costs ($5.1 million) and plant, transmission and distribution and general
property expenses ($6.9 million).

NINE MONTHS

Maintenance expense decreased due to lower overhead lines support costs
($11.6 million), miscellaneous transmission and distribution expenses ($8.5
million), fossil plant

20
21

expenses ($7.0 million) and general property expenses ($6.3 million). These
decreases were partially offset by higher storm expenses ($21.9 million).


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT -
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is
based upon 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, the impact
of newly-required FERC tariffs, actual sales and expenses, the effects of
competition, the implementation of utility restructuring in Michigan (which
involves pending regulatory proceedings, pending and proposed statutory changes
and the recovery of stranded costs), environmental and nuclear requirements and
the success of non-regulated projects. 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.


COMPETITION

THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY

MPSC

As discussed in Item 2, of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997, the MPSC issued an Opinion and Order, dated June
5, 1997, setting forth the MPSC's views on restructuring of the electric
utility industry and establishing a procedure for implementation of a direct
access program. As a result of the June 5th MPSC Order, contested cases were
filed by Detroit Edison dealing with: (1) approval of direct access rates,
terms and conditions, (2) approval of a true-up mechanism for stranded cost
recovery, and (3) authority to suspend the Power Supply Cost Recovery clause.
The MPSC set expedited schedules for these matters and Orders are expected in
the near future.

Michigan House Bill 5245, providing for the restructuring of the electric
utility industry, was introduced on October 7, 1997. The proposed legislation
differs markedly from the type of legislation contemplated by the MPSC's June
5, 1997 Order and would accelerate the direct access phase-in schedule under
consideration by the MPSC. The Company and Detroit Edison are of the opinion
that the MPSC's proposed method of electric

21
22

industry restructuring is more balanced and would provide a more orderly
transition period than is contemplated by Michigan House Bill 5245.
Legislation compatible with the MPSC's June 5, 1997 Order is expected to be
introduced at a later date.


CASH GENERATION AND CASH REQUIREMENTS

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS (UNAUDITED)

Net cash from operating activities decreased due primarily to lower
non-cash charges to income related to the steam heating special charge in 1996.

Net cash used for investing activities was lower in the three-month period
and for Detroit Edison in the nine-month period due primarily to lower plant
and equipment expenditures. Net cash used for investing activities was higher
for the Company in the nine-month period due to the acquisition of the coke
oven battery, a non-regulated expenditure.

Net cash used for financing activities was higher in the three-month
period due to an increase in funds used to reduce short-term borrowings. Net
cash used for financing activities was lower in the nine-month period due
primarily to the issuance of non-recourse debt for the acquisition of the coke
oven battery, a non-regulated expenditure, and an increase in short-term
borrowings, partially offset by higher redemptions of long-term debt and
Detroit Edison's cash portion of a restructuring dividend to the Company in the
prior period.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Detroit Edison's 1997 cash requirements for its capital expenditure
program are estimated at $448 million, of which $316 million had been expended
as of September 30, 1997. Internal cash generation is expected to be
sufficient to meet its cash requirements for capital expenditures as well as
scheduled long-term debt redemptions.

Detroit Edison had short-term credit arrangements of approximately $472
million at September 30, 1997, under which $72 million of borrowings were
outstanding.

NON-REGULATED INVESTMENTS

Cash requirements for non-regulated investments are estimated to range
from $300 to $350 million in 1997, of which $220 million had been expended as
of September 30, 1997. Non-regulated investments are expected to be
substantially externally financed.

DTE Capital Corporation has a $200 million Revolving Credit Agreement,
backed by a Support Agreement from the Company, under which $35 million was
outstanding at September 30, 1997.

In response to industry deregulation and related market opportunities, the
Company has formed a new power marketing subsidiary, DTE Energy Trading, Inc.
The new subsidiary will market and trade electricity and natural gas physical
products and financial

22
23


instruments, and provide risk management services. Trading is expected to
begin in the fourth quarter of 1997.


ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

In July 1997, the EPA finalized new air quality standards relating to
ozone and particulate air pollution. The proposed new rules could lead to
additional controls on fossil-fueled power plants to reduce nitrogen oxides and
particulate emissions. Until it is determined what level of emissions
reductions is required to achieve the new standards, Detroit Edison is unable
to predict what impact they may have. Following the conclusion of all
proceedings, it is expected that Detroit Edison's costs will increase, perhaps
substantially. Additional environmental costs would be expected to be
recovered under traditional ratemaking principles. However, Detroit Edison is
unable to predict what effect, if any, deregulation of the electric utility
industry would have on cost recoverability.
