development of new power plants, and pursuit of additional power purchase agreements to complement
existing generating sources.

the lag in cost recoveries.

uncertainty, and extreme volatility in the financial and credit markets resulting from the subprime
mortgage crisis, bank failures and consolidation, and other market weaknesses. While we believe
that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our requirements, we continue to monitor
closely developments in the financial and credit markets and government response to those
developments for potential implications for our business.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, our net income was $79&nbsp;million, a $3&nbsp;million
decrease versus 2007. Compared with the third quarter of 2007, combined net income from our
electric and gas utility segments increased, reflecting the positive impact of the MPSC rate orders
and the elimination of certain costs from the power purchase agreement with the MCV Partnership,
partially offset by lower deliveries and increased depreciation and other expenses. Further
increasing net income were lower corporate interest expense and financing costs. These increases were more
than offset by the absence of an insurance reimbursement recognized at Enterprises in 2007.

increasing net income was the absence of the net impact of activities associated with assets sold
in 2007, lower corporate debt costs, and the rescission of a contract with Quicksilver.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric deliveries and rate increase: </B>For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, electric
delivery revenues increased by $80&nbsp;million versus 2007 primarily due to additional revenue of $97
million from the inclusion of the Zeeland power plant in rates and from the June&nbsp;2008 rate order.
The increase was partially offset by decreased electric revenue of $17&nbsp;million primarily due to
lower deliveries reflecting milder weather. Deliveries to end-use customers were 9.9&nbsp;billion kWh,
a decrease of 0.5&nbsp;billion kWh or 5&nbsp;percent versus 2007. For additional details on the June&nbsp;2008
rate order, see Note 4, Contingencies, &#147;Consumers&#146; Electric Utility Rate Matters.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, electric delivery revenues increased by $65&nbsp;million
versus 2007 primarily due to additional revenue of $145&nbsp;million from the inclusion of the Zeeland
power plant in rates and from the June&nbsp;2008 rate order. The increase was partially offset by
decreased electric revenue of $80&nbsp;million primarily due to lower deliveries. Deliveries to end-use
customers were 28.4&nbsp;billion kWh, a decrease of 1.0&nbsp;billion kWh or 3&nbsp;percent versus 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Surcharge revenue: </B>For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, surcharge revenue increased by $10
million versus 2007. The increase was primarily due to the April&nbsp;2008 MPSC order allowing recovery
of certain retirement benefits through a surcharge. Consistent with the recovery of these costs,
we recognized a similar amount of benefit expense. For additional details, see &#147;Depreciation and
other operating expenses&#148; within this section and Note 8, Retirement Benefits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Power supply costs and related revenue: </B>PSCR revenue increased $5&nbsp;million for the three months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, and $12&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. These
increases primarily reflect the 2007 reduction to revenue made in response to the MPSC&#146;s position
that PSCR discounts given to our Transitional Primary Rate customers could not be recovered under
the PSCR mechanism. The decrease also reflects the absence, in 2008, of a decrease in power supply
revenue associated with the 2006 PSCR reconciliation case.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Non-commodity revenue: </B>Non-commodity revenue decreased $1&nbsp;million for the three months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2008, and $13&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The decreases
were primarily due to the absence, in 2008, of METC transmission services revenue.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Depreciation and other operating expenses: </B>For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, the
increase of $11&nbsp;million in depreciation and other operating expenses was primarily due to higher
costs associated with the implementation of our integrated business software system on July&nbsp;1,
2008, higher uncollectible accounts expense and higher depreciation expense. The increase was
partially offset by the absence, in 2008, of certain costs that are no longer incurred under our
power purchase agreement with the MCV Partnership.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, the decrease of $62&nbsp;million in depreciation and other
operating expenses was primarily due to the absence of operating expenses associated with the sale
of Palisades in April&nbsp;2007, and certain costs that are no longer incurred under our power purchase
agreement with the MCV Partnership. Also contributing to the decrease in expenses was the April
2008 MPSC order allowing us to retain a portion of the proceeds from the 2006 sale of certain
sulfur dioxide allowances. The decrease was partially offset by higher retirement benefit expense
due to the April&nbsp;2008 MPSC order allowing recovery of certain costs through a surcharge and higher
depreciation expense. For additional details on our power purchase agreement with the MCV
Partnership, see Note 4, Contingencies, &#147;Other Consumers&#146; Electric Utility Contingencies.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Other income: </B>Other income decreased $20&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008,
and $36&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The decreases were primarily due to
reduced interest income and the MPSC&#146;s June&nbsp;2008 order, which did not allow us to recover all of
our costs associated with the sale of Palisades. Also contributing to the decrease was an
impairment charge that recognized an other than temporary decline in the fair value of our SERP
investments, reflecting the continuing decline in the stock market.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>General taxes: </B>General tax expense decreased $6&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30,
2008 and $14&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The decreases were primarily
due to the absence, in 2008, of MSBT, which was replaced with the Michigan Business Tax effective
January&nbsp;1, 2008. The Michigan Business Tax is now recorded in income taxes. The decreases were
partially offset by higher property tax expense.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Interest charges: </B>Interest charges decreased $6&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30,
2008 and $11&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. These decreases were primarily
due to lower interest associated with amounts to be refunded to customers as a result of the sale
of Palisades. The MPSC order approving the Palisades power purchase agreement with Entergy
directed us to record interest on the unrefunded balances. Also contributing to the decrease was

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Gas deliveries and rate increase: </B>For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, gas delivery
revenues increased $2&nbsp;million versus 2007 primarily due to additional revenue of $3&nbsp;million from
the MPSC&#146;s August&nbsp;2007 gas rate order. The increase was partially offset by a $1&nbsp;million increase
in system losses. Gas deliveries, including miscellaneous transportation to end-use customers,
totaled 24 bcf, a decrease of 1 bcf or 4&nbsp;percent versus 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, gas delivery revenues increased $20&nbsp;million versus
2007 primarily due to additional revenue of $31&nbsp;million from the MPSC&#146;s August&nbsp;2007 gas rate order.
The increase was partially offset by higher system losses and lower gas deliveries, including
miscellaneous transportation to end-use customers, totaling 204 bcf, a decrease of 4 bcf or 2
percent versus 2007, which resulted in a decrease in gas delivery revenue of $11&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Gas wholesale and retail services, other gas revenues and other income, net: </B>Gas wholesale and
retail services, other gas revenues and other income decreased $12&nbsp;million for the three months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, and $23&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. These
decreases were primarily due to lower interest income and lower pipeline capacity optimization
revenue. Also contributing to the decrease was an impairment charge that recognized an other than
temporary decline in the fair value of our SERP investments, reflecting the continuing decline in
the stock market.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Operation and maintenance: </B>Operation and maintenance expenses increased $6&nbsp;million for the three
months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 and $15&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008.
These increases were primarily due to higher uncollectible accounts expense and higher operating
expense across our storage, transmission and distribution systems.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>General taxes and depreciation: </B>For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, general taxes and
depreciation decreased $1&nbsp;million versus 2007 due to the absence, in 2008, of MSBT, which was
replaced by the Michigan Business Tax effective January&nbsp;1, 2008. The Michigan Business Tax is now
recorded in income taxes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, general taxes and depreciation did not change versus
2007, as the absence in 2008 of $8&nbsp;million of MSBT was offset by increases of $6&nbsp;million in
depreciation expense and $2&nbsp;million in property tax expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Interest charges: </B>Interest charges decreased $1&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30,
2008 and $7&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. These decreases were primarily
due to lower average debt levels and a lower average interest rate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Income taxes: </B>For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, income taxes decreased $4&nbsp;million
versus 2007. The decrease reflects $5&nbsp;million due to lower quarterly earnings and $1&nbsp;million
related to the treatment of property, plant and equipment, as required by MPSC orders. These
decreases were partially offset by a $1&nbsp;million increase due to lower annual Medicare subsidy and a
$1&nbsp;million increase related to the forfeiture of restricted stock.

million versus 2007. The increase was due to higher net mark-to-market gains on power and gas
contracts of $6&nbsp;million and lower financial settlements losses of $4&nbsp;million. Also contributing to
the increase was higher power sales of $4&nbsp;million. These increases were partially offset by lower
gas sales of $4&nbsp;million and the absence, in 2008, of operating revenue of $2&nbsp;million from assets
sold in 2007.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, operating revenues decreased $7&nbsp;million versus 2007.
The decrease was due to the absence, in 2008, of gas sales of $44&nbsp;million resulting primarily from
the termination of a gas sales contract, lower net mark-to-market gains on power and gas contracts
of $12&nbsp;million, and the absence, in 2008, of revenue of $5&nbsp;million from assets sold in 2007. These
decreases were partially offset by the absence, in 2008, of the write-off of $40&nbsp;million of
derivative assets associated with the Quicksilver contract that was voided by the trial judge in
May&nbsp;2007, and the absence, in 2008, of net financial settlements losses of $14&nbsp;million.

million versus 2007. The increase was due to higher net mark-to-market losses on gas and power
supply contracts of $9&nbsp;million, partially offset by decreased power purchase costs of $3&nbsp;million
and reduced cost of gas of $4&nbsp;million resulting from decreased usage offset by higher average
prices.

of gas purchases of $42&nbsp;million resulting primarily from the termination of a gas supply contract,
reduced fuel for electric generation of $11&nbsp;million, a decrease in purchased power costs of $10
million and mark-to-market gains on gas and power supply contracts of $4&nbsp;million.

million, a decrease of $18&nbsp;million versus 2007. The decrease in net expenses of $18&nbsp;million
primarily reflects the reduction of certain tax valuation allowances
that were no longer required and reduced interest expense due to lower debt levels in 2008. Also contributing to the decrease
in expense was the absence, in 2008, of premiums paid on the early retirement of CMS Energy debt in

sale of our international operations. Partially offsetting the increase was the absence, in 2008,
of the reduction in fair value of notes receivable from GasAtacama, and premiums paid on the early

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Fair Value Measurements: </B>We have a number of assets and liabilities that must be accounted for or
disclosed at fair value in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;157. Fair value measurements require the
incorporation of all assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability, including assumptions about risk. Development of these assumptions requires significant
judgment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The most material of our fair value measurements are for our SERP assets and our derivative
instruments. For a detailed discussion of the methods used to calculate these fair value
measurements, see Note 2, Fair Value Measurements.</div>

<FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS"><B>Derivative Instruments</B></FONT>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We account for derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;133. If a contract is a
derivative and does not qualify for the normal purchases and sales exception under SFAS No.&nbsp;133, we
record it on our consolidated balance sheet at its fair value.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We use a modeling method to value the most material of our derivative liabilities, an electricity
sales agreement held by CMS ERM. Because this electricity sales agreement extends beyond the term
for which quoted electricity prices are available, our valuation model incorporates a proprietary
forward pricing curve for power based on forward gas prices and an implied heat rate. Our model
incorporates discounting, credit, and modeling risks. The model is sensitive to power and gas
forward prices, and the fair value of this derivative liability will increase as these forward
prices increase. We adjust our model each quarter to incorporate market data as it becomes
available. There has been no material change in the fair value of the derivative liability since
December&nbsp;31, 2007. For additional details on how we determine the fair values of our derivatives,
see Note 2, Fair Value Measurements. Except as noted in the following paragraph, there have been
no significant changes since December&nbsp;31, 2007 in the amount or types of derivatives that we hold
or to how we account for derivatives.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>CMS ERM Contracts</I><B>: </B>In the past, CMS ERM has generally classified all of its derivatives that
result in physical delivery of commodities as non-trading contracts and all of its derivatives that
financially settle as trading contracts. Following the restructuring of our DIG investment and the
resulting streamlining of CMS ERM&#146;s risk management activities in the first quarter of 2008, we
reevaluated the classification of CMS ERM&#146;s derivatives as trading versus non-trading. We
determined that all of CMS ERM&#146;s derivatives are held for purposes other than trading. Therefore,
during 2008, we have accounted for all of CMS ERM&#146;s derivatives as non-trading derivatives.

pension and OPEB costs are recoverable through our general ratemaking process. Actual future
pension cost and contributions will depend on future investment performance, changes in future
discount rates, and various other factors related to the populations participating in the Pension
Plan. As a result of additional losses experienced since September
30, 2008 in global equity markets, our Pension Plan contributions may
be substantially larger in 2009 and assets are likely to have

million, an increase of $298&nbsp;million versus 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in
earnings and the timing of cash receipts from accounts receivable. We accelerate our collections
from customer billings through the sale of accounts receivable. The sale of accounts receivable at
the end of 2006 reduced our collections from customers during 2007. At the end of 2007, we did not
rely on sales of accounts receivable and collected customer billings for the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2008. These increases were partially offset by the impact of higher gas prices on
inventory purchases and the timing of postretirement benefit contributions and other settlement
payments.

to meet our projected short-term and long-term electric power requirements with energy efficiency,
demand management, expanded use of renewable energy, and development of new power plants and
pursuit of additional power purchase agreements to complement existing generating sources. Our
Balanced Energy Initiative includes our plan to build an 800 MW advanced clean coal plant at our
Karn/Weadock Generating complex near Bay City, Michigan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The new energy legislation in Michigan provides guidelines with respect to the MPSC review and
approval of energy resource plans and proposed power plants. We plan to file an updated Balanced
Energy Initiative with the MPSC in conjunction with a certificate-of-necessity that conforms to the
requirements of the new legislation and the rules that the MPSC will develop for the
certificate-of-necessity filings.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric
Deliveries: </B>We are anticipating a decrease in electric deliveries
of approximately 3&nbsp;percent in 2008 compared with 2007 or 1&nbsp;percent excluding weather
conditions. This decline reflects a decline in industrial economic activity, and the cancellation of
one wholesale customer contract. For 2009 compared with 2008, a
decline, excluding weather conditions, of 1&nbsp;percent is expected.
Our outlook for 2009 includes continuing growth in deliveries to our
largest growing customer that produces semiconductor and solar energy
components. Without this customer&#146;s growth our electric
deliveries in 2009 are expected to decline 3&nbsp;percent compared
with 2008. Our outlook also reflects reduced deliveries
associated with our investment in energy efficiency programs included in the recently enacted
legislation, as well as recent projections of Michigan economic conditions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">After 2009, we anticipate economic conditions to stabilize, resulting in modestly growing
deliveries of electricity. We expect deliveries to grow on average about 0.5&nbsp;percent annually over
the period from 2009 to 2014. This growth rate also includes expected results of energy efficiency
programs and both full-service sales and delivery service to customers who choose to buy generation
service from an alternative electric supplier, but transactions with other wholesale market
participants are not included. Actual growth may vary from this trend due to the following:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric Customer Revenue Outlook: </B>Michigan&#146;s economy has suffered from closures and restructuring
of automotive manufacturing facilities and those of related suppliers and from the depressed
housing market. The Michigan economy also has been harmed by facility closures in the
non-manufacturing sectors and limited growth. Although our electric utility results are not
dependent upon a single customer, or even a few customers, those in the automotive sector
represented five percent of our total 2007 electric revenue and three percent of our 2007 electric
operating income. We cannot predict the financial impact of the Michigan economy on our electric
customer revenue.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric Reserve Margin: </B>To reduce the risk of high power supply costs during peak demand periods
and to achieve our Reserve Margin target, we purchase electric capacity and energy for the physical
delivery of electricity primarily in the summer months. We are currently planning for a Reserve
Margin of 13.7&nbsp;percent for summer 2009, or supply resources equal to 113.7&nbsp;percent of projected
firm summer peak load. We have purchased capacity and energy covering partially our Reserve Margin
requirements for 2009 through 2010. Of the 2009 supply resources
target, we expect 93&nbsp;percent to
come from our electric generating plants and long-term power purchase contracts, with other
contractual arrangements making up the remainder. We expect capacity costs for these electric
capacity and energy contractual arrangements to be $15&nbsp;million for 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric Transmission Expenses: </B>We expect the transmission charges we incur to increase by $32
million in 2008 compared with 2007 primarily due to a 33&nbsp;percent increase in METC transmission
rates. This increase was included in our 2008 PSCR plan filed with the MPSC in September&nbsp;2007,
which we self-implemented in January&nbsp;2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We expect the transmission charges we incur to increase by $55&nbsp;million in 2009 compared with 2008
primarily due to a 25&nbsp;percent increase in METC and Wolverine transmission rates. This increase was

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Clean Air Act: </I>We continue to focus on complying with the federal Clean Air Act and numerous state

comply with a number of environmental regulations, including regulations limiting nitrogen oxides
and sulfur dioxide emissions. We expect to recover these costs in customer rates.

CAIR and the CAIR federal implementation plan in their entirety. If upheld, the decision would
remand the CAIR back to the EPA to form a new rule, which will likely take considerable time.
Several parties have petitioned the court for hearing by the full court. This keeps the CAIR in
effect at least until the court decides whether to grant the rehearing. At the same time, Congress
is considering legislative options to reinstate all or part of the CAIR.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>State and Federal Mercury Air Rules: </I>In March&nbsp;2005, the EPA issued the CAMR, which required
initial reductions of mercury emissions from coal-fired electric generating plants by 2010 and
further reductions by 2018. A number of states and other entities appealed certain portions of the
CAMR to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia decided the case in February&nbsp;2008, and determined that the rules developed by
the EPA were not consistent with the Clean Air Act. The U.S. Supreme Court has been petitioned to
review this decision.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In April&nbsp;2006, Michigan&#146;s governor proposed a plan that would result in mercury emissions
reductions of 90&nbsp;percent by 2015. If this plan becomes effective, we estimate the associated costs
will be approximately $400&nbsp;million by 2015.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Routine Maintenance Classification: </I>The EPA
 has alleged that some utilities have incorrectly classified major
plant modifications as &#147;routine maintenance,
repair and replacement&#148; rather than seeking permits from the EPA to modify their plants. We responded to
information requests from the EPA on this subject in 2000, 2002, and 2006. We believe that we have properly
interpreted the requirements of &#147;routine maintenance, repair and
replacement.&#148; In October 2008, we received
another information request from the EPA pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act. In addition, in
October 2008, we received a NOV for
three of our coal-fired facilities relating to violations of NSR and PSD regulations,
alleging ten projects from 1986 to 1998 were subject to PSD review. We are currently preparing our response
to this NOV and the information request. If the EPA does not accept our interpretation, we could be required
to install additional pollution control equipment at some or all of our coal-fired electric generating plants and
pay fines. Additionally, we would need to assess the viability of continuing operations at certain plants. We
cannot predict the financial impact or outcome of this matter.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Greenhouse Gases</I>: The United States Congress has introduced proposals that would require
reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide. These laws, or similar
state laws or rules, if enacted, could require us to replace equipment, install additional
equipment for emission controls, purchase allowances, curtail operations, or take other steps to
manage or lower the emission of greenhouse gases. Although associated capital or operating costs
relating to greenhouse gas regulation or legislation could be material, and cost recovery cannot be
assured, we expect to have an opportunity to recover these costs and capital expenditures in rates
consistent with the recovery of other reasonable costs of complying with environmental laws and
regulations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The EPA has published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to present possible options for
regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, as well as to solicit comments and additional
ideas. The comment period closes in November&nbsp;2008. In addition to the potential for federal
actions related to greenhouse gas regulation, the State of Michigan has convened a climate change
stakeholder process under the name Michigan Climate Action Council. Michigan is also a signatory
participant in the Midwest Governors Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord process. We cannot predict
the extent or the likelihood of any actions that could result from these state and regional
processes.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Water: </I>In July&nbsp;2004, the EPA issued rules that govern existing electric generating plant cooling
water intake systems. These rules require a significant reduction in the number of fish harmed by
intake structures at large existing power plants. The EPA compliance options in the rule were
challenged before the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In January&nbsp;2007, the
court rejected many of the compliance options favored by industry and remanded the bulk of the rule
back to the EPA for reconsideration. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit&#146;s

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric ROA: </B>The Customer Choice Act allows all of our electric customers to buy electric
generation service from us or from an alternative electric supplier. However, the energy
legislation enacted in Michigan in October&nbsp;2008 generally limits alternative electric supply to 10
percent of our weather-adjusted retail sales for the preceding calendar year. At September&nbsp;2008,
alternative electric suppliers were providing 339 MW of generation service to ROA customers, which
is equivalent to 4&nbsp;percent of our weather-adjusted retail sales from the preceding calendar year.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric Rate Case: </B>During 2007, we filed applications with the MPSC, as revised, seeking an
annual increase in revenue of $265&nbsp;million, which incorporated a requested 11.25&nbsp;percent authorized
return on equity. The filings sought recovery of the costs associated with increased plant
investment, including the purchase of the Zeeland power plant, increased equity investment, higher
operation and maintenance expenses, recovery of transaction costs from the sale of Palisades, and
the approval of an energy efficiency program.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In June&nbsp;2008, the MPSC issued an order authorizing us to increase revenue by $221&nbsp;million. This

approving the transaction requires that we credit $255&nbsp;million of excess sale proceeds and
decommissioning amounts to our retail customers by December&nbsp;2008. There are additional excess
sales proceeds and decommissioning fund balances of $135&nbsp;million above the amount in the MPSC
order. The MPSC order in our electric rate case instructed us to offset the excess sales proceeds
and decommissioning fund balances with $26&nbsp;million of transaction costs from the Palisades sale and
credit the remaining balance to customers. The distribution of these funds is still pending with
the MPSC.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Gas Depreciation: </B>On August&nbsp;1, 2008, we filed a gas depreciation case using 2007 data with the
MPSC-ordered variations on traditional cost-of-removal methodologies. We cannot predict the
outcome of this matter. If a final order in our gas depreciation case is not issued concurrently
with a final order in a general gas rate case, the MPSC may incorporate the results of the
depreciation case into general gas rates through a surcharge, which may be either positive or
negative.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>2007 Gas Rate Case: </B>In August&nbsp;2007, the MPSC approved a partial settlement agreement authorizing
an annual rate increase of $50&nbsp;million, including an authorized return on equity of 10.75&nbsp;percent.
In September&nbsp;2007, the MPSC reopened the record in the case to allow all interested parties to be
heard concerning the approval of an energy efficiency program, which we proposed in our original
filing. In April&nbsp;2008, the MPSC approved a settlement agreement withdrawing the proposed energy
efficiency program and closed the case.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>2008 Gas Rate Case: </B>In February&nbsp;2008, we filed an application with the MPSC for an annual gas rate
increase of $91&nbsp;million based on an 11&nbsp;percent authorized return on equity. The MPSC staff and
intervenors filed testimony in September&nbsp;2008. The MPSC staff recommended an increase of $36

cost of lost and unaccounted for gas through general rate cases, which have traditionally provided
for recovery based on an average of the previous five years of actual losses. To the extent that
we experience lost and unaccounted for gas that exceeds the previous five-year average, we may be
unable to recover these amounts in rates.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In connection with the sale of our Argentine and Michigan assets to Lucid Energy in March&nbsp;2007, we
entered into agreements that granted MEI, an affiliate of Lucid Energy, rights to certain awards or

assignment of the ICSID award associated with TGN, as well as an option to purchase CMS Gas

third-party to assign the ICSID award and to sell our interests in TGN directly to the
third-party. In accordance with the agreements executed in March&nbsp;2007, the proceeds from the
assignment of the ICSID award and the sale of TGN were passed on to MEI. In light of these events,
during the second quarter of 2008 we recognized in earnings an $8&nbsp;million deferred gain on the

customer billing, finance, purchasing/supply chain, human resources and payroll, and utility asset
construction and maintenance work management. We expect the new business software to improve
customer service, reduce operating system risk and result in

expenditures of approximately $800&nbsp;million over the next seven years.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Litigation and Regulatory Investigation: </B>We are the subject of an investigation by the DOJ

President Bush signed into law a $700&nbsp;billion economic recovery plan. The plan includes a
provision authorizing the SEC to suspend the application of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 for any issuer with
respect to any class or category of transaction as deemed necessary. In addition, the SEC is
required to conduct a study on mark-to-market accounting (fair value accounting), including its
possible impacts on recent bank failures, along with a consideration of alternative accounting
treatments. The SEC must submit a report to Congress within 90&nbsp;days. We apply this accounting
primarily to our commodity derivative instruments and our SERP investments. We will continue to

on loans held by EnerBank have risen from 1.0&nbsp;percent at December&nbsp;31, 2007 to 1.3&nbsp;percent at

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>SFAS No.&nbsp;157, Fair Value Measurements: </I></B>This standard, which was effective for us January&nbsp;1, 2008,
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on our
consolidated financial statements. For additional details on our fair value measurements, see Note
2, Fair Value Measurements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>SEC / FASB Guidance on Fair Value Measurements: </I></B>In September&nbsp;2008, in response to concerns about
fair value accounting and its possible role in the recent declines in the financial markets, the
SEC Office of the Chief Accountant and the FASB staff jointly released additional guidance on fair
value measurements. The guidance, which is effective for us immediately, did not change or
conflict with the fair value principles in SFAS No.&nbsp;157, but rather provided further clarification
on how to value a financial asset in an illiquid market. This guidance had no impact on our fair
value measurements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is
Not Active</I></B><I>: </I>In October&nbsp;2008, the FASB issued this standard, effective for us as of the quarter
ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The standard clarifies the application of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 in measuring
financial assets in illiquid markets and is consistent with the guidance issued by the SEC and the
FASB as discussed in the preceding paragraph, but an example is provided to further illustrate the
concepts. The standard is to be applied prospectively. The guidance in this standard did not
impact our fair value measurements.

SFAS No.&nbsp;158. Phase one of this standard, implemented in December&nbsp;2006, required us to recognize
the funded status of our defined benefit postretirement plans on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at
December&nbsp;31, 2006. Phase two, implemented in January&nbsp;2008, required us to change our plan
measurement date from November&nbsp;30 to December&nbsp;31, effective for the year ending December&nbsp;31, 2008.
For additional details, see Note 8, Retirement Benefits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>SFAS No.&nbsp;159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an
amendment to FASB Statement No.&nbsp;115: </I></B>This standard, which was effective for us January&nbsp;1, 2008,
gives us the option to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value, with
changes in fair value recognized in earnings. We have not elected the fair value option for any
financial instruments or other items.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>FSP FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;39: </I></B>This standard, which was effective for us
January&nbsp;1, 2008, permits us to offset the fair value of derivative instruments held under master
netting arrangements with cash collateral received or paid for those derivatives. Adopting this
standard resulted in an immaterial reduction to both our total assets and total liabilities. There
was no impact on earnings from adopting this standard. We applied the standard retrospectively for
all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements. For additional details, see Note
7, Financial and Derivative Instruments, &#147;CMS ERM Contracts.&#148;

This standard was effective for us January&nbsp;1, 2008. The standard requires companies to recognize,
as an increase to additional paid-in capital, the income tax benefit realized from dividends or
dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for non-vested
equity-classified employee share-based payment awards. This standard did not have a material
effect on our consolidated financial statements.

replaces SFAS No.&nbsp;141, <I>Business Combinations</I>. SFAS No.&nbsp;141(R) establishes how an acquiring entity
should measure and recognize assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests
acquired through a business combination. The standard also establishes how goodwill or gains from
bargain purchases should be measured and recognized, and what information the acquirer should
disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of a business combination. Costs of an acquisition are to be recognized separately from the
business combination. We will apply SFAS No.&nbsp;141(R) prospectively to any business combination for
which the date of acquisition is on or after January&nbsp;1, 2009.

this standard, ownership interests in subsidiaries held by third parties, which are currently
referred to as minority interests, will be presented as noncontrolling interests and shown

This standard will require entities to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why derivatives
are used, how derivatives and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No.&nbsp;133, and how
derivatives and related hedged items affect financial position, financial performance, and cash

effective for us December&nbsp;31, 2008. This standard will amend SFAS No.&nbsp;133 and FIN 45 to enhance
the disclosure requirements for issuers of credit derivatives and financial guarantees. As we have
not issued any credit derivatives, this standard will apply only to our disclosures about

1, 2009. Under this standard, awards that accrue cash dividends when common shareholders receive
dividends are considered participating securities if the dividends do not need to be returned to
the company when the employee forfeits the award. We have unvested restricted stock awards

This standard establishes criteria for determining whether freestanding instruments or embedded
features are considered &#147;indexed to an entity&#146;s own stock.&#148; This guidance must be applied in
assessing the equity conversion features in our contingently convertible senior notes and preferred
stock. These conversion features have been exempted from derivative accounting because they are
indexed to our own stock and would be classified in stockholders&#146; equity. We will have to assess
whether they are still considered indexed to our own stock under this new guidance. The standard
applies to all outstanding instruments at January&nbsp;1, 2009, with any transition impacts recognized
as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We are evaluating
the impact, if any, this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Credit Enhancement: </I></B>In September&nbsp;2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 08-5, effective for us January
1, 2009. This guidance concludes that the fair value measurement of a liability should not
consider the effect of a third-party credit enhancement or guarantee supporting the liability. The
fair value of the liability should thus reflect the credit standing of the issuer and should not be
adjusted to reflect the credit standing of a third-party guarantor. The standard is to be applied
prospectively. This standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<BR>
(Unaudited)</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">These interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by CMS Energy in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article&nbsp;10 of Regulation&nbsp;S-X. As a result, CMS Energy has
condensed or omitted certain information and Note disclosures normally included in consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. CMS Energy has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the
presentation in the current year. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements for the three
and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007 have been updated for amounts previously reported. In
management&#146;s opinion, the unaudited information contained in this report reflects all adjustments
of a normal recurring nature necessary to ensure the fair presentation of financial position,
results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements and the related Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes contained in CMS Energy&#146;s
Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. Due to the seasonal nature of CMS Energy&#146;s
operations, the results presented for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results
to be achieved for the fiscal year.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>1: CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Corporate Structure: </B>CMS Energy is an energy company operating primarily in Michigan. We are the
parent holding company of several subsidiaries, including Consumers and Enterprises. Consumers is
a combination electric and gas utility company serving Michigan&#146;s Lower Peninsula. Enterprises,
through its subsidiaries and equity investments, is engaged primarily in domestic independent power
production. We manage our businesses by the nature of services each provides and operate
principally in three business segments: electric utility, gas utility, and enterprises.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Principles of Consolidation: </B>The consolidated financial statements comprise CMS Energy, Consumers,
Enterprises, and all other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or are the
primary beneficiary, in accordance with FIN 46(R). We use the equity method of accounting for
investments in companies and partnerships that are not consolidated, where we have significant
influence over operations and financial policies, but are not the primary beneficiary. We
eliminate intercompany transactions and balances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Use of Estimates: </B>We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. We
are required to make estimates using assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and
disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We record estimated liabilities for contingencies in our consolidated financial statements when it
is probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably
estimated. For additional details, see Note 4, Contingencies.

No.&nbsp;141(R) establishes how an acquiring entity should measure and recognize assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests acquired through a business combination. The
standard also establishes how goodwill or gains from bargain purchases should be measured and
recognized and what information the acquirer should disclose to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination. Costs of an
acquisition are to be recognized separately from the business combination. We will apply SFAS No.

This standard will require entities to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why derivatives
are used, how derivatives and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No.&nbsp;133, and how
derivatives and related hedged items affect financial position, financial performance, and cash

common shareholders receive dividends are considered participating securities if the dividends do
not need to be returned to the company when the employee forfeits the award. We have unvested

This standard establishes criteria for determining whether freestanding instruments or embedded
features are considered &#147;indexed to an entity&#146;s own stock.&#148; This guidance must be applied in
assessing the equity conversion features in our contingently convertible senior notes and preferred
stock. These conversion features have been exempted from derivative accounting because they are

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SFAS No.&nbsp;157, which became effective January&nbsp;1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not
require any new fair value measurements, but applies to those fair value measurements recorded or
disclosed under other accounting standards. The standard defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly exchange between
market participants, and requires that fair value measurements incorporate all assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.
The standard also eliminates the prohibition against recognizing &#147;day one&#148; gains and losses on
derivative instruments. We did not hold any derivatives with &#147;day one&#148; gains or losses during the
nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The standard is to be applied prospectively, except that
limited retrospective application is required for three types of financial instruments, none of
which we held during the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008.

about fair value accounting and its possible role in the recent declines in the financial markets,
the SEC Office of the Chief Accountant and the FASB staff jointly released additional guidance on
fair value measurements. The guidance, which is effective for us immediately, did not change or
conflict with the fair value principles in SFAS No.&nbsp;157, but rather provided further clarification
on how to value a financial asset in an illiquid market. In October&nbsp;2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS
157-3, <I>Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not
Active</I>. The standard is consistent with the joint guidance issued by the SEC and FASB and is
effective for us as of the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The standard is to be applied
prospectively. The guidance in this standard and the joint guidance provided by the FASB and the
SEC did not impact our fair value measurements.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Standard &#038; Poor&#146;s 500 Index mutual fund. The fund&#146;s securities are listed on an active exchange or
dealer market. The fair value of the SERP equity securities is based on the NAV of the mutual fund
that is derived from the daily closing prices of the equity securities held by the fund. The NAV
is the basis for transactions to buy or sell shares in the fund. Our SERP debt securities, which
are investment grade municipal bonds, are valued using a market approach, which is based on a
matrix pricing model that incorporates market-based information. The fair value of our SERP debt
securities is derived from various observable inputs, including benchmark yields, reported
securities trades, broker/dealer quotes, bond ratings, and general information on market movement
for investment grade municipal securities normally considered by market participants when pricing a
debt security. SERP assets are included in Other non-current assets on our Consolidated Balance
Sheets. For additional details about our SERP securities, see Note 7, Financial and Derivative
Instruments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Derivative Instruments: </I>Our derivative instruments are valued using either a market approach that
incorporates information from market transactions, or an income approach that discounts future
expected cash flows to a present value amount. We use various inputs to value our derivatives
depending on the type of contract and the availability of market data. We have exchange-traded
derivative contracts that are valued based on Level 1 quoted prices in actively traded markets. We
also have derivatives that are valued using Level 2 inputs, including commodity market prices,
interest rates, credit ratings, default rates, and market-based seasonality factors. For
derivative instruments that extend beyond time periods in which quoted prices are available, we use
modeling methods to project future prices. Such fair value measurements are classified in Level 3
unless modeling was required only for an insignificant portion of the total derivative value.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">CMS ERM&#146;s non-trading contracts include an electricity sales agreement that extends beyond the term
for which quoted electricity prices are available and which is classified as Level 3. To value
this agreement, we use a proprietary forward power pricing curve that is based on forward gas
prices and an implied heat rate. We also increased the fair value of the liability for this
agreement by an amount that reflects the uncertainty of our model.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For all fair values other than Level 1 prices, we incorporate adjustments for the risk of
nonperformance. For our derivative assets, we apply a credit adjustment against the asset based on
the published default rate for the counterparty&#146;s assigned credit rating. These credit ratings are
assigned to each counterparty based on an internal credit-scoring model that considers various
inputs, including the counterparty&#146;s financial statements, credit reports, trade press, and other
information that would be available to market participants. We compare the results of our
credit-scoring model to credit ratings published by independent rating agencies. To the extent
that our internal ratings are comparable to those obtained from the independent agencies, we
classify the resulting credit adjustment within Level 2. If our internal model results in a rating
that is outside of the range of ratings given by the independent agencies, the credit adjustment
would be classified as a Level 3 input, and if significant to the overall valuation, would cause
the entire fair value to be classified as Level 3. We also adjust our derivative liabilities
downward to reflect our own risk of nonperformance, based on the published credit ratings for our
company. For details about our derivative contracts, see Note 7, Financial and Derivative
Instruments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan Liabilities: </I>The non-qualified deferred compensation plan
liabilities are valued based on the fair values of the plan assets, as they reflect what is owed to
the plan participants in accordance with their investment elections. These liabilities, except for
our primary DSSP plan liability, are included in Other non-current liabilities on our Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Our primary DSSP plan liability is included in non-current Postretirement benefits
on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of May&nbsp;2008, the Republic of Argentina had not paid the ICSID award as due, causing its option
to purchase our interests in TGN to expire. In June&nbsp;2008, we executed an agreement with MEI and a
third- party to assign the ICSID award and to sell our interests in TGN directly to the
third-party. In accordance with the agreements executed in March&nbsp;2007, the proceeds from the
assignment of the ICSID award and the sale of TGN were passed on to MEI. In light of these events,
during the second quarter of 2008 we recognized an $8&nbsp;million deferred gain on the assignment of
the ICSID award in Gain&nbsp;on asset sales, net in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
We also recognized a $197&nbsp;million cumulative net foreign currency translation loss related to TGN,
which had been deferred as a Foreign Currency Translation component of stockholders&#146; equity. This
charge was fully offset by the elimination of a $197&nbsp;million Argentine currency impairment reserve
on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, created when we impaired our investment in TGN in March&nbsp;2007.

prearranged commodity trading transactions in which energy commodities were sold and repurchased at
the same price. These transactions, referred to as round-trip trades, had no impact on previously
reported consolidated net income, EPS or cash flows, but had the effect of increasing operating
revenues and operating expenses by equal amounts. We are cooperating with an investigation by the
DOJ concerning round-trip trading, which the DOJ commenced in May&nbsp;2002. We responded to the DOJ&#146;s
last request in May&nbsp;2004. We are unable to predict the outcome of this matter and what effect, if
any, this investigation will have on our business.

not assess a fine and we neither admitted to nor denied the order&#146;s findings. The settlement
resolved the SEC investigation involving CMS Energy and CMS MST. Also in March&nbsp;2004, the SEC filed
an action against three former employees related to round-trip trading at CMS MST. As of June&nbsp;30,

Although we have not received any formal notification that the DOJ has completed its investigation,

price-fixing conspiracies, and artificial inflation of natural gas retail prices in California,
Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. In June&nbsp;2007, CMS MST settled a master class

infringement. RAKTL claimed that automated customer service, bill payment services and gas leak
reporting offered to our customers and accessed through toll free numbers infringe on patents held
by RAKTL. CMS Energy, along with Consumers, signed a settlement and license agreement with RAKTL
in June&nbsp;2008 to settle the litigation. The settlement and licensing costs with RAKTL are

pursuant to an agreement with the MDEQ, third parties constructed a golf course and park over
several abandoned CKD piles, left over from the former cement plant operations on the Bay Harbor
site. The third parties also undertook a series of remedial actions, including removing abandoned
buildings and equipment; consolidating, shaping and covering CKD piles with soil and vegetation;
removing CKD from streams and beaches; and constructing a leachate collection system at an
identified seep. Leachate is formed when water passes through CKD. In 2002, CMS Energy sold its
interest in Bay Harbor, but retained its obligations under environmental indemnifications entered
into at the start of the project.

installed and shoreline monitoring is ongoing. In February&nbsp;2008, CMS Land and CMS Capital
submitted a proposed augmentation plan to the EPA to address areas where pH measurements are not
satisfactory. CMS Land, CMS Capital and the EPA have agreed upon the augmentation measures and
a schedule for their installation. The augmentation meaures are being implemented and are

and following denial by the MDEQ of a right to a hearing, filed lawsuits in the Ingham Circuit

natural gas than it has received. CMS MST disagrees with Quicksilver&#146;s analysis and believes that
it has paid all amounts owed for delivery of gas according to the
contract. Quicksilver sought damages of up to approximately $126&nbsp;million, plus prejudgment interest and attorney fees.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On May&nbsp;15, 2007, the trial court vacated the jury award of punitive damages but held that the
contract should be rescinded prospectively. The judicial rescission of the contract caused CMS
Energy to record a charge in the second quarter of 2007 of $24&nbsp;million, net of tax. To preserve
its appellate rights, CMS MST filed a motion to modify, correct or reform the judgment and a motion
for a judgment contrary to the jury verdict with the trial court. The trial court dismissed these
motions. CMS MST has filed a notice of appeal with the Texas Court of Appeals. Quicksilver has
filed a notice of cross appeal. Both Quicksilver and CMS MST have filed their opening briefs and
briefs of cross appeal. Oral arguments were made on October&nbsp;29, 2008. Quicksilver claims that the
contract should be rescinded from its inception, rather than merely from the date of the judgment.
Although we believe Quicksilver&#146;s position to be without merit, if the court were to grant the
relief requested by Quicksilver, it could result in a loss in excess of $150&nbsp;million and have a
material adverse effect on us. We cannot predict the financial impact or outcome of this matter.

The April&nbsp;2008 MPSC order disallowed $6&nbsp;million related to certain replacement power costs and the
recovery of discount credits provided to certain customers. As a result, we reduced our Accrued
power supply revenue for the period ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 for this amount. The MPSC order also
addressed the allocation of our proceeds from the sale of sulfur dioxide allowances of $62&nbsp;million.
The MPSC order directed us to credit $44&nbsp;million of the proceeds to PSCR customers and allowed us
to retain $18&nbsp;million of the proceeds. We previously reserved all proceeds as a regulatory
liability. As a result of the MPSC order, we recognized our retained portion in earnings for the

prescribed in the temporary order. Furthermore, the MPSC order directed us to allocate the

includes recovery of 2007 PSCR underrecoveries, which were $42&nbsp;million. We self-implemented a 2008

use any recoveries as reimbursement for the incurred costs of spent nuclear fuel storage during our

payment to Entergy to assume ownership and responsibility for the Big Rock ISFSI and additional

facilities on these sites for some part of their operating lives. For some of these sites, we have
no current ownership or may own only a portion of the original site. In December&nbsp;2005, we
estimated our remaining costs to be between $29&nbsp;million and $71&nbsp;million, based on 2005 discounted
costs, using a discount rate of three percent. The discount rate represented a 10-year average of
U.S. Treasury bond rates reduced for increases in the consumer price index. We expect to fund most
of these costs through proceeds from insurance settlements and MPSC-approved rates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">From January&nbsp;1, 2006 to September&nbsp;30, 2008, we have spent a total of $14&nbsp;million for MGP response
activities. At September&nbsp;30, 2008, we have a liability of $15&nbsp;million and a regulatory asset of
$46&nbsp;million, which includes $31&nbsp;million of deferred MGP expenditures. The timing of payments
related to the remediation of our manufactured gas plant sites is uncertain. We expect annual
response activity costs to range between $4&nbsp;million and $5&nbsp;million over the next four years.
Periodically, we review these response activity cost estimates. Any significant change in
assumptions, such as an increase in the number of sites, different remediation techniques, nature
and extent of contamination, and legal and regulatory requirements, could affect our estimate of
response activity costs and the timing of our payments.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Gas Title Transfer Tracking Fees and Services: </B>In November&nbsp;2007, we reached an agreement in
principle with Duke Energy Corporation, Dynegy Incorporated, Reliant Energy Resources Incorporated
and the FERC Staff to settle the TTT proceeding. The terms of the agreement include the payment of
$2&nbsp;million in total refunds to all TTT customers and a reduced rate for future TTT transactions.
The settlement agreement was filed on February&nbsp;1, 2008. The FERC conditionally approved the
settlement on July&nbsp;28, 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>FERC Investigation: </B>In February&nbsp;2008, we received a data request relating to an investigation the
FERC is conducting into possible violations of the FERC&#146;s posting and competitive bidding
regulations related to releases of firm capacity on natural gas pipelines. We responded to the
FERC&#146;s first data request in the first quarter of 2008. In July&nbsp;2008, we responded to a second set
of data requests from the FERC. The FERC has also taken depositions
from two Consumers employees and made an additional data request.
We cannot predict the financial impact or the outcome of this matter.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>GCR Reconciliation for 2006-2007: </I>In July&nbsp;2008, the MPSC issued an order approving our GCR
Reconciliation for the GCR plan period of April&nbsp;1, 2006 to March&nbsp;31, 2007. The total amount
reflects an overrecovery of $1&nbsp;million plus $4&nbsp;million in accrued interest owed to customers.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>GCR plan for year 2007-2008: </I>In July&nbsp;2007, the MPSC issued an order for our 2007-2008 GCR plan
year. The order approved a settlement agreement that allowed a base GCR ceiling factor of $8.47
per mcf for April&nbsp;2007 through March&nbsp;2008, subject to a quarterly ceiling price adjustment
mechanism. We were able to maintain our GCR billing factor below the authorized level.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>GCR plan for year 2008-2009: </I>In December&nbsp;2007, we filed an application with the MPSC seeking
approval of a GCR plan for our 2008-2009 GCR Plan year. Our request proposed the use of a base GCR
ceiling factor of $8.17 per mcf, plus a quarterly GCR ceiling price adjustment contingent upon
future events.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Due to an increase in NYMEX gas prices, the base GCR ceiling factor increased to $9.52 per mcf for
the three-month period of April through June&nbsp;2008 and to $9.92 for the three-month period of July
through September&nbsp;2008, pursuant to the quarterly ceiling price adjustment mechanism. Beginning in
October&nbsp;2008, the base GCR ceiling factor was adjusted to $8.17 due to a decrease in NYMEX gas
prices.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The GCR billing factor is adjusted monthly in order to minimize the over or underrecovery amounts
in our annual GCR reconciliation. Our GCR billing factor for November&nbsp;2008 is $8.17 per mcf. When
we are unable to collect GCR costs as they are incurred, there is a negative impact on our cash
flows.

an annual rate increase of $50&nbsp;million, including an authorized return on equity of 10.75&nbsp;percent.
In September&nbsp;2007, the MPSC reopened the record in the case to allow all interested parties to be
heard concerning the approval of an energy efficiency program, which we proposed in our original
filing. In April&nbsp;2008, the MPSC approved a settlement agreement withdrawing the proposed energy
efficiency program and closed the case.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>2008 Gas Rate Case: </B>In February&nbsp;2008, we filed an application with the MPSC for an annual gas rate
increase of $91&nbsp;million based on an 11&nbsp;percent authorized return on equity. The MPSC staff and
intervenors filed testimony in September&nbsp;2008. The MPSC staff recommended an increase of $36
million based on a 10.45&nbsp;percent authorized return on equity.

T.E.S. Filer City, a generating facility in which we have a 50&nbsp;percent partnership interest,
exceeded certain air permit limits. Negotiations between the EPA and T.E.S. Filer City resulted in

of CMS Oil and Gas. The indemnification claim relates to the sale of our oil, gas and methanol
projects in Equatorial Guinea and the claim of the government of Equatorial Guinea that we owe $142
million in taxes in connection with that sale. CMS Energy concluded that the government&#146;s tax
claim is without merit and the purchaser of CMS Oil and Gas submitted a response to the government
rejecting the claim. The government of Equatorial Guinea has indicated that it still intends to
pursue its claim. We cannot predict the financial impact or outcome of this matter.

Lasfar attributable to tax years prior to the sale. In December&nbsp;2007, the Moroccan tax authority

with an overriding royalty interest in production from the Alba field, filed a lawsuit in Harris
County District Court in Texas against CMS Energy, CMS Oil and Gas and other defendants alleging
that his overriding royalty payments related to Alba field production were improperly calculated.
CMS Oil and Gas believed that Barr was being paid properly on gas sales and that he was, and would
not be, entitled to the additional overriding royalty payment sought. All parties signed a
confidential settlement agreement on April&nbsp;26, 2004. The settlement resolved claims between Barr
and the defendants, and the involved CMS Energy entities reserved all defenses to any indemnity
claim relating to the settlement. Issues exist between Marathon and certain current or former CMS
Energy entities as to the existence and scope of any indemnity obligations to Marathon in
connection with the settlement. Between April&nbsp;2005 and April&nbsp;2008, there were no further
communications between Marathon and CMS Energy entities regarding this matter. In April&nbsp;2008,
Marathon indicated its intent to pursue the indemnity claim. Present and former CMS Energy
entities and Marathon entered into an agreement tolling the statute of limitations on any claim by
Marathon under the indemnity. CMS Energy entities dispute Marathon&#146;s claim, and will vigorously
oppose it if raised in any legal proceeding. CMS Energy entities also will assert that Marathon
has not suffered any damages that would be material to CMS Energy. CMS Energy cannot predict the
outcome of this matter. If Marathon&#146;s claim were sustained, it would have a material effect on CMS
Energy&#146;s future earnings and cash flow.

To measure the fair value of a guarantee liability, we recognize a liability for any premium
received or receivable in exchange for the guarantee. For a guarantee issued as part of a larger

liability for any premium that would have been received had the guarantee been issued as a single

extent that the conversion value, which is based on the average market price of our common stock,
exceeds the principal or par value. Had there been positive income from continuing operations for
the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007, our contingently convertible securities would have
contributed an additional 19.0&nbsp;million shares to the calculation of diluted EPS. For additional
details on our contingently convertible securities, see Note 5, Financings and Capitalization.

our stock and were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. For the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2007, 1.1&nbsp;million shares of unvested restricted stock awards, and options and
warrants to purchase 0.3&nbsp;million shares of common stock were anti-dilutive. Additional options and
warrants to purchase 0.7&nbsp;million shares of common stock had exercise prices that exceeded the
average market price of our stock for the periods ended September&nbsp;30, 2007. These stock options
could dilute EPS in the future.

securities consist of investment grade municipal bonds.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During 2008, our SERP investment in equity securities experienced a decline in fair value to $50
million. In the third quarter of 2008, we determined that this decline in fair value was other
than temporary. Accordingly, we reclassified net unrealized losses of $13&nbsp;million ($8&nbsp;million, net
of tax) from AOCL into Other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and
established a new cost basis of $50&nbsp;million for these investments, which was equal to fair value at
September&nbsp;30, 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Derivative Instruments: </B>In order to limit our exposure to certain market risks, primarily changes
in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, we may enter into various
risk management contracts, such as swaps, options, futures, and forward contracts. We enter into
these contracts using established policies and procedures, under the direction of an executive
oversight committee consisting of senior management representatives and a risk committee consisting
of business unit managers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The contracts we use to manage market risks may qualify as derivative instruments that are subject
to derivative accounting under SFAS No.&nbsp;133. If a contract is a derivative and does not qualify
for the normal purchases and sales exception under SFAS No.&nbsp;133, we record it on our consolidated
balance sheet at its fair value. Each quarter, we adjust the resulting asset or liability to
reflect any change in the fair value of the contract, a practice known as marking the contract to
market. Since we have not designated any of our derivatives as accounting hedges under SFAS No.
133, we report all mark-to-market gains and losses in earnings. For a discussion of how we
determine the fair value of our derivatives, see Note 2, Fair Value Measurements.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>CMS ERM Contracts: </B>In order to support CMS Energy&#146;s ongoing non-utility operations, CMS ERM enters
into contracts to purchase and sell electricity and natural gas in the future. These forward
contracts are generally long-term in nature and result in physical delivery of the commodity at a
contracted price. To manage commodity price risks associated with these forward purchase and sale
contracts, CMS ERM also uses various financial instruments, such as swaps, options, and futures.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the past, CMS ERM has generally classified all of its derivatives that result in physical
delivery of commodities as non-trading contracts and all of its derivatives that financially settle
as trading contracts. Following the restructuring of our DIG investment and the resulting
streamlining of CMS ERM&#146;s risk management activities in the first quarter of 2008, we reevaluated
the classification of CMS ERM&#146;s derivatives as trading versus non-trading. We determined that all
of CMS ERM&#146;s derivatives are held for purposes other than trading. Therefore, during 2008, we have
accounted for all of CMS ERM&#146;s derivatives as non-trading derivatives.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We record the fair value of these contracts in either Other current and non-current assets or Other
current and non-current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. For contracts that
economically hedge sales of power or gas to third parties, CMS ERM records mark-to-market gains and
losses in earnings as a component of Operating Revenue. For contracts that economically hedge
purchases of power or gas, CMS ERM records mark-to-market gains and losses in earnings as a
component of Operating Expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On January&nbsp;1, 2008, we implemented FSP FIN 39-1, which permits entities to offset the fair value of
derivatives held under master netting arrangements with cash collateral received or paid for those
derivatives. We have made an accounting policy choice to offset the fair value of our derivatives
held under master netting arrangements. Therefore, as a result of adopting this standard, we also
offset related cash collateral amounts, which resulted in a reduction to both CMS ERM&#146;s
derivative-related assets and liabilities of less than $1&nbsp;million as of September&nbsp;30, 2008 and $4
million as of December&nbsp;31, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Credit Risk: </B>CMS ERM enters into derivatives primarily with companies in the energy industry.
This industry concentration may have a positive or negative impact on our exposure to credit risk
depending on how these counterparties are affected by similar changes in economic or other
conditions. At September&nbsp;30, 2008, we had a $5&nbsp;million exposure to credit risk; that is, in the
event each counterparty within this industry concentration failed to meet its contractual
obligations, we could incur up to $5&nbsp;million in losses. All of this exposure was held with
investment grade companies. Given our credit policies, our current exposures, and our credit
reserves, we do not expect a material adverse effect on our financial position or future earnings
as a result of counterparty nonperformance.

postretirement plans on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December&nbsp;31, 2006. SFAS No.&nbsp;158 also
required us to recognize changes in the funded status of our plans in the year in which the changes

30 to December&nbsp;31, effective December&nbsp;31, 2008. In the first quarter of 2008, we recorded the
measurement date change, which resulted in a $6&nbsp;million net-of-tax decrease to retained earnings, a

2008, we collected $10&nbsp;million of pension and $2&nbsp;million of OPEB surcharge revenue in electric
rates. We recorded a reduction of $12&nbsp;million of equalization regulatory assets on our
Consolidated Balance Sheets and an increase of $12&nbsp;million of expense on our Consolidated
Statements of Income (Loss). Thus, our collection of the equalization mechanism surcharge had no
impact on net income for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>9: INCOME TAXES</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 was 35&nbsp;percent versus 94
percent for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007. The difference in the effective income tax
rate is due primarily to the absence of tax adjustments recorded in conjunction with the 2007 sales
of our foreign investments. For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007, the 35&nbsp;percent tax
benefit on our pre-tax book loss was increased by 132&nbsp;percentage points due to expected profits
from our international sales, allowing the release of a previously recorded valuation allowance.
Offsetting this increase was a 73&nbsp;percentage point reduction, primarily for the recognition of U.S.
tax on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that were no longer deemed permanently
reinvested.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing examination by federal, state and foreign
tax authorities, which can result in proposed assessments. Our estimate of the potential outcome
of any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. It is reasonably possible that the outcome of
these examinations may result in a change in our valuation allowance for unrecognized tax benefits
related to certain tax credit carryforwards. The total valuation allowance for these credit
carryforwards was $2&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2008. During the quarter we released $7&nbsp;million of
valuation allowance related to loss carryforwards that we now believe will be fully utilized prior
to their expiration.

the lag in cost recoveries.

uncertainty, and extreme volatility in the financial and credit markets resulting from the subprime

that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our requirements, we continue to monitor
closely developments in the financial and credit markets and government response to those

reflects higher net income from our electric utility segment primarily due to rate increases
authorized in December&nbsp;2007 and June&nbsp;2008 and reduced costs associated with our power purchase
agreement with the MCV Partnership. Partially offsetting these increases to income was a decrease
in electric deliveries and lower net income from our gas utility segment.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, net income available to our common stockholder was
$279&nbsp;million, compared to $216&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2007. The increase
reflects higher net income from our electric utility segment primarily due to rate increases
authorized in December&nbsp;2007 and June&nbsp;2008 and reduced costs associated with our power purchase
agreement with the MCV Partnership. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in
electric deliveries and lower net income from our gas utility segment.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric deliveries and rate increase: </B>For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, electric
delivery revenues increased by $80&nbsp;million versus 2007 primarily due to additional revenue of $97
million from the inclusion of the Zeeland power plant in rates and from the June&nbsp;2008 rate order.
The increase was partially offset by decreased electric revenue of $17&nbsp;million primarily due to
lower deliveries reflecting milder weather. Deliveries to end-use customers were 9.9&nbsp;billion kWh,
a decrease of 0.5&nbsp;billion kWh or 5&nbsp;percent versus 2007. For additional details on the June&nbsp;2008
rate order, see Note 4, Contingencies, &#147;Electric Rate Matters.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, electric delivery revenues increased by $65&nbsp;million
versus 2007 primarily due to additional revenue of $145&nbsp;million from the inclusion of the Zeeland
power plant in rates and from the June&nbsp;2008 rate order. The increase was partially offset by
decreased electric revenue of $80&nbsp;million primarily due to lower deliveries. Deliveries to end-use
customers were 28.4&nbsp;billion kWh, a decrease of 1.0&nbsp;billion kWh or 3&nbsp;percent versus 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Surcharge revenue: </B>For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, surcharge revenue increased by $10
million versus 2007. The increase was primarily due to the April&nbsp;2008 MPSC order allowing recovery
of certain retirement benefits through a surcharge. Consistent with the recovery of these costs,
we recognized a similar amount of benefit expense. For additional details, see &#147;Depreciation and
other operating expenses&#148; within this section and Note 7, Retirement Benefits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Power supply costs and related revenue: </B>PSCR revenue increased $5&nbsp;million for the three months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, and $12&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. These
increases primarily reflect the 2007 reduction to revenue made in response to the MPSC&#146;s position
that PSCR discounts given to our Transitional Primary Rate customers could not be recovered under
the PSCR mechanism. The decrease also reflects the absence, in 2008, of a decrease in power supply
revenue associated with the 2006 PSCR reconciliation case.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Non-commodity revenue: </B>Non-commodity revenue decreased $1&nbsp;million for the three months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2008, and $13&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The decreases
were primarily due to the absence, in 2008, of METC transmission services revenue.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Depreciation and other operating expenses: </B>For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, the
increase of $11&nbsp;million in depreciation and other operating expenses was primarily due to higher
costs associated with the implementation of our integrated business software system on July&nbsp;1,
2008, higher uncollectible accounts expense and higher depreciation expense. The increase was
partially offset by the absence, in 2008, of certain costs that are no longer incurred under our
power purchase agreement with the MCV Partnership.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, the decrease of $62&nbsp;million in depreciation and other
operating expenses was primarily due to the absence of operating expenses associated with the sale
of Palisades in April&nbsp;2007, and certain costs that are no longer incurred under our power purchase
agreement with the MCV Partnership. Also contributing to the decrease in expenses was the April
2008 MPSC order allowing us to retain a portion of the proceeds from the 2006 sale of certain
sulfur dioxide allowances. The decrease was partially offset by higher retirement benefit expense
due to the April&nbsp;2008 MPSC order allowing recovery of certain costs through a surcharge and higher
depreciation expense. For additional details on our power purchase agreement with the MCV
Partnership, see Note 4, Contingencies, &#147;Other Electric Contingencies.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Other income: </B>Other income decreased $20&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008,
and $36&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The decreases were primarily due to
reduced interest income and the MPSC&#146;s June&nbsp;2008 order, which did not allow us to recover all of
our costs associated with the sale of Palisades. Also contributing to the decrease was an
impairment charge that recognized an other than temporary decline in the fair value of our SERP
investments, reflecting the continuing decline in the stock market.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>General taxes: </B>General tax expense decreased $6&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30,
2008 and $14&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The decreases were primarily
due to the absence, in 2008, of MSBT, which was replaced with the Michigan Business Tax effective
January&nbsp;1, 2008. The Michigan Business Tax is now recorded in income taxes. The decreases were
partially offset by higher property tax expense.

2008 and $11&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. These decreases were primarily
due to lower interest associated with amounts to be refunded to customers as a result of the sale
of Palisades. The MPSC order approving the Palisades power purchase agreement with Entergy
directed us to record interest on the unrefunded balances. Also contributing to the decrease was
the absence, in 2008, of interest charges related to an IRS settlement.

versus 2007. The increase reflects $23&nbsp;million due to higher earnings, $2&nbsp;million due to the
inclusion of the Michigan Business Tax, which replaced the MSBT effective January&nbsp;1, 2008, and a $1
million benefit due to increased quarterly Medicare subsidy.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, income taxes increased $51&nbsp;million versus 2007. The

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Operating Activities: </B>For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008, net cash provided by operating
activities was $524&nbsp;million, an increase of $335&nbsp;million versus 2007. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in earnings, lower postretirement benefits contributions and timing of cash
receipts from accounts receivable. We accelerate our collections from customer billings through
the sale of accounts receivable. The sale of accounts receivable at the end of 2006 reduced our
collections from customers during 2007. At the end of 2007, we did not rely on sales of accounts
receivable and collected customer billings for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. These
increases were partially offset by the impact of higher gas prices on inventory purchases.

to the absence of proceeds from the sale of Palisades and proceeds from our nuclear decommissioning

compared with 2008, a decline, excluding weather conditions, of 1 percent is expected. Our outlook for 2009 includes continuing growth in deliveries to our largest growing customer that
produces semiconductor and solar energy components. Without this customer&#146;s growth our electric deliveries in 2009 are expected to decline 3 percent compared with 2008. Our outlook
also reflects reduced deliveries associated with our investment in energy efficiency programs included in the recently enacted legislation, as well as recent projections of Michigan
economic conditions.

of automotive manufacturing facilities and those of related suppliers and from the depressed
housing market. The Michigan economy also has been harmed by facility closures in the
non-manufacturing sectors and limited growth. Although our electric utility results are not
dependent upon a single customer, or even a few customers, those in the automotive sector
represented five percent of our total 2007 electric revenue and three percent of our 2007 electric
operating income. We cannot predict the financial impact of the Michigan economy on our electric
customer revenue.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric Reserve Margin: </B>To reduce the risk of high power supply costs during peak demand periods
and to achieve our Reserve Margin target, we purchase electric capacity and energy for the physical
delivery of electricity primarily in the summer months. We are currently planning for a Reserve
Margin of 13.7&nbsp;percent for summer 2009, or supply resources equal to 113.7&nbsp;percent of projected
firm summer peak load. We have purchased capacity and energy covering partially our Reserve Margin
requirements for 2009 through 2010. Of the 2009 supply resources target, we expect 93&nbsp;percent to
come from our electric generating plants and long-term power purchase contracts, with other
contractual arrangements making up the remainder. We expect capacity costs for these electric
capacity and energy contractual arrangements to be $15&nbsp;million for 2009.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric Transmission Expenses: </B>We expect the transmission charges we incur to increase by $32
million in 2008 compared with 2007 primarily due to a 33&nbsp;percent increase in METC transmission
rates. This increase was included in our 2008 PSCR plan filed with the MPSC in September&nbsp;2007,
which we self-implemented in January&nbsp;2008.

environmental laws and regulations. Generally, we have been able to recover in customer rates our
costs to operate our facilities in compliance with these laws and regulations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Clean Air Act: </I>We continue to focus on complying with the federal Clean Air Act and numerous state
and federal regulations. We plan to spend $795&nbsp;million for equipment installation through 2015 to
comply with a number of environmental regulations, including regulations limiting nitrogen oxides
and sulfur dioxide emissions. We expect to recover these costs in customer rates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Clean Air Interstate Rule: </I>In March&nbsp;2005, the EPA adopted the CAIR, which required additional
coal-fired electric generating plant emission controls for nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide. The
CAIR was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and, in July&nbsp;2008, the
court vacated the CAIR and the CAIR federal implementation plan in their entirety. If upheld, the
decision would remand the CAIR back to the EPA to form a new rule, which will likely take
considerable time. Several parties have petitioned the court for hearing by the full court. This
keeps the CAIR in effect at least until the court decides whether to grant the rehearing. At the
same time, Congress is considering legislative options to reinstate all or part of the CAIR.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>State and Federal Mercury Air Rules: </I>In March&nbsp;2005, the EPA issued the CAMR, which required
initial reductions of mercury emissions from coal-fired electric generating plants by 2010 and
further reductions by 2018. A number of states and other entities appealed certain portions of the
CAMR to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia decided the case in February&nbsp;2008, and determined that the rules developed by
the EPA were not consistent with the Clean Air Act. The U.S. Supreme Court has been petitioned to
review this decision.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In April&nbsp;2006, Michigan&#146;s governor proposed a plan that would result in mercury emissions
reductions of 90&nbsp;percent by 2015. If this plan becomes effective, we estimate the associated costs
will be approximately $400&nbsp;million by 2015.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Routine Maintenance Classification: </I>The EPA
 has alleged that some utilities have incorrectly classified major
plant modifications as &#147;routine maintenance,
repair and replacement&#148; rather than seeking permits from the EPA to modify their plants. We responded to
information requests from the EPA on this subject in 2000, 2002, and 2006. We believe that we have properly
interpreted the requirements of &#147;routine maintenance, repair and
replacement.&#148; In October 2008, we received
another information request from the EPA pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act. In addition, in
October 2008, we received a NOV for
three of our coal-fired facilities relating to
violations of NSR and PSD regulations,
alleging ten projects from 1986 to 1998 were subject to PSD review. We are currently preparing our response
to this NOV and the information request. If the EPA does not accept our interpretation, we could be required
to install additional pollution control equipment at some or all of our coal-fired electric generating plants and
pay fines. Additionally, we would need to assess the viability of continuing operations at certain plants. We
cannot predict the financial impact or outcome of this matter.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Greenhouse Gases</I>: The United States Congress has introduced proposals that would require
reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide. These laws, or similar
state laws or rules, if enacted, could require us to replace equipment, install additional
equipment for emission controls, purchase allowances, curtail operations, or take other steps to
manage or lower the emission of greenhouse gases. Although associated capital or operating costs
relating to greenhouse gas regulation or legislation could be material, and cost recovery cannot be
assured, we expect to have an opportunity to recover these costs and capital expenditures in rates
consistent with the recovery of other reasonable costs of complying with environmental laws and
regulations.

regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, as well as to solicit comments and additional
ideas. The comment period closes in November&nbsp;2008. In addition to the potential for federal
actions related to greenhouse gas regulation, the State of Michigan has convened a climate change
stakeholder process under the name Michigan Climate Action Council. Michigan is also a signatory
participant in the Midwest Governors Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord process. We cannot predict
the extent or the likelihood of any actions that could result from these state and regional
processes.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Water: </I>In July&nbsp;2004, the EPA issued rules that govern existing electric generating plant cooling
water intake systems. These rules require a significant reduction in the number of fish harmed by
intake structures at large existing power plants. The EPA compliance options in the rule were
challenged before the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In January&nbsp;2007, the
court rejected many of the compliance options favored by industry and remanded the bulk of the rule
back to the EPA for reconsideration. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit&#146;s
ruling is expected to increase significantly the cost of complying with this rule, but we will not
know the cost to comply until the EPA&#146;s reconsideration is complete. In April&nbsp;2008, the U.S.

legislation enacted in Michigan in October&nbsp;2008 generally limits alternative electric supply to 10
percent of our weather-adjusted retail sales for the preceding calendar year. At September&nbsp;2008,
alternative electric suppliers were providing 339 MW of generation service to ROA customers, which

to approve rates that will allow us to recover our Stranded Costs within five years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric Rate Case: </B>During 2007, we filed applications with the MPSC, as revised, seeking an
annual increase in revenue of $265&nbsp;million, which incorporated a requested 11.25&nbsp;percent authorized
return on equity. The filings sought recovery of the costs associated with increased plant
investment, including the purchase of the Zeeland power plant, increased equity investment, higher
operation and maintenance expenses, recovery of transaction costs from the sale of Palisades, and
the approval of an energy efficiency program.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In June&nbsp;2008, the MPSC issued an order authorizing us to increase revenue by $221&nbsp;million. This

MPSC-ordered variations on traditional cost-of-removal methodologies. We cannot predict the
outcome of this matter. If a final order in our gas depreciation case is not issued concurrently
with a final order in a general gas rate case, the MPSC may incorporate the results of the
depreciation case into general gas rates through a surcharge, which may be either positive or
negative.

In September&nbsp;2007, the MPSC reopened the record in the case to allow all interested parties to be
heard concerning the approval of an energy efficiency program, which we proposed in our original

efficiency program and closed the case.

defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. The implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on our
consolidated financial statements. For additional details on our fair value measurements, see Note
2, Fair Value Measurements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>SEC / FASB Guidance on Fair Value Measurements: </I></B>In September&nbsp;2008, in response to concerns about
fair value accounting and its possible role in the recent declines in the financial markets, the
SEC Office of the Chief Accountant and the FASB staff jointly released additional guidance on fair
value measurements. The guidance, which is effective for us immediately, did not change or conflict
with the fair value principles in SFAS No.&nbsp;157, but rather provided further clarification on how to
value a financial asset in an illiquid market. This guidance had no impact on our fair value
measurements.

ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The standard clarifies the application of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 in measuring
financial assets in illiquid markets and is consistent with the guidance issued by the SEC and the
FASB as discussed in the preceding paragraph, but an example is provided to further illustrate the
concepts. The standard is to be applied prospectively. The guidance in this standard did not

SFAS No.&nbsp;158. Phase one of this standard, implemented in December&nbsp;2006, required us to recognize
the funded status of our defined benefit postretirement plans on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at
December&nbsp;31, 2006. Phase two, implemented in January&nbsp;2008, required us to change our plan

should measure and recognize assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests
acquired through a business combination. The standard also establishes how goodwill or gains from
bargain purchases should be measured and recognized, and what information the acquirer should
disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of a business combination. Costs of an acquisition are to be recognized separately from the
business combination. We will apply SFAS No.&nbsp;141(R) prospectively to any business combination for

this standard, ownership interests in subsidiaries held by third parties, which are currently

This standard will require entities to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why derivatives
are used, how derivatives and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No.&nbsp;133, and how
derivatives and related hedged items affect financial position, financial performance, and cash

effective for us December&nbsp;31, 2008. This standard will amend SFAS No.&nbsp;133 and FIN 45 to enhance
the disclosure requirements for issuers of credit derivatives and financial guarantees. As we have
not issued any credit derivatives, this standard will apply only to our disclosures about

Credit Enhancement: </I></B>In September&nbsp;2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue 08-5, effective for us January
1, 2009. This guidance concludes that the fair value measurement of a liability should not
consider the effect of a third-party credit enhancement or guarantee supporting the liability. The
fair value of the liability should thus reflect the credit standing of the issuer and should not be
adjusted to reflect the credit standing of a third-party guarantor. The standard is to be applied
prospectively. This standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Corporate Structure: </B>Consumers, a subsidiary of CMS Energy, a holding company, is a combination
electric and gas utility company serving Michigan&#146;s Lower Peninsula. Our customer base includes a
mix of residential, commercial, and diversified industrial customers. We manage our business by
the nature of service provided and operate principally in two business segments: electric utility
and gas utility.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Principles of Consolidation: </B>The consolidated financial statements comprise Consumers and all
other entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or are the primary beneficiary, in
accordance with FIN 46(R). We use the equity method of accounting for investments in companies and
partnerships that are not consolidated, where we have significant influence over operations and
financial policies, but are not the primary beneficiary. We eliminate intercompany transactions
and balances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Use of Estimates: </B>We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. We
are required to make estimates using assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and
disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We record estimated liabilities for contingencies in our consolidated financial statements when it
is probable that a liability has been incurred and when the amount of loss can be reasonably
estimated. For additional details, see Note 4, Contingencies.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Revenue Recognition Policy: </B>We recognize revenues from deliveries of electricity and natural gas,
and from the storage of natural gas when services are provided. We record unbilled revenues for
the estimated amount of energy delivered to customers but not yet billed. Our unbilled receivables
were $259&nbsp;million at September&nbsp;30, 2008 and $490&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007. We record sales tax
on a net basis and exclude it from revenues.

2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;141(R), which replaces SFAS No.&nbsp;141, <I>Business Combinations</I>. SFAS
No.&nbsp;141(R) establishes how an acquiring entity should measure and recognize assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests acquired through a business combination. The
standard also establishes how goodwill or gains from bargain purchases should be measured and
recognized and what information the acquirer should disclose to enable users of the financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination. Costs of an
acquisition are to be recognized separately from the business combination. We will apply SFAS No.
141(R) prospectively to any business combination for which the date of acquisition is on or after
January&nbsp;1, 2009.

consider the effect of a third-party credit enhancement or guarantee supporting the liability. The
fair value of the liability should thus reflect the credit standing of the issuer and should not be
adjusted to reflect the credit standing of a third-party guarantor. The standard is to be applied

for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not
require any new fair value measurements, but applies to those fair value measurements recorded or
disclosed under other accounting standards. The standard defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly exchange between
market participants, and requires that fair value measurements incorporate all assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.
The standard also eliminates the prohibition against recognizing &#147;day one&#148; gains and losses on
derivative instruments. We did not hold any derivatives with &#147;day one&#148; gains or losses during the
nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. The standard is to be applied prospectively, except that
limited retrospective application is required for three types of financial instruments, none of
which we held during the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008.

the SEC Office of the Chief Accountant and the FASB staff jointly released additional guidance on
fair value measurements. The guidance, which is effective for us immediately, did not change or
conflict with the fair value principles in SFAS No.&nbsp;157, but rather provided further clarification
on how to value a financial asset in an illiquid market. In October&nbsp;2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS
157-3, <I>Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not
Active</I>. The standard is consistent with the joint guidance issued by the SEC and FASB and is

information requests from the EPA on this subject in 2000, 2002, and 2006. We believe that we have properly
interpreted the requirements of &#147;routine maintenance, repair and
replacement.&#148; In October 2008, we received
another information request from the EPA pursuant to Section 114 of the Clean Air Act. In addition, in
October 2008, we received a NOV for
three of our coal-fired facilities relating to
violations of NSR and PSD regulations,
alleging ten projects from 1986 to 1998 were subject to PSD review. We are currently preparing our response
to this NOV and the information request. If the EPA does not accept our interpretation, we could be required
to install additional pollution control equipment at some or all of our coal-fired electric generating plants and
pay fines. Additionally, we would need to assess the viability of continuing operations at certain plants. We

incorrectly calculated the energy charge payments made under power purchase agreements. The judge
deferred to the primary jurisdiction of the MPSC, dismissing the circuit court case without
prejudice. In February&nbsp;2005, the MPSC issued an order in the 2004 PSCR plan case concluding that
we have been correctly administering the energy charge calculation methodology. The plaintiffs
appealed the MPSC order to the Michigan Court of Appeals, which, in April&nbsp;2008, affirmed the MPSC
order. The plaintiffs filed an application for leave to appeal with the Michigan Supreme Court.
In September&nbsp;2008, the application for leave to appeal was denied. The plaintiffs also agreed to

The MPSC order directed us to credit $44&nbsp;million of the proceeds to PSCR customers and allowed us

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>2008 PSCR Plan</I>: In September&nbsp;2007, we submitted our 2008 PSCR plan filing to the MPSC. The plan
includes recovery of 2007 PSCR underrecoveries, which were $42&nbsp;million. We self-implemented a 2008
PSCR charge in January&nbsp;2008. In June&nbsp;2008, the ALJ issued a Proposal for Decision that is
consistent with our position, with minor exceptions.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>2009 PSCR Plan</I>: In September&nbsp;2008, we submitted our 2009 PSCR plan filing to the MPSC. We expect
to self-implement the proposed 2008 PSCR charge in January&nbsp;2009, absent action by the MPSC by the
end of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">While we expect to recover fully all of our PSCR costs, we cannot predict the financial impact or
the outcome of these proceedings. When we are unable to collect these costs as they are incurred,
there is a negative impact on our cash flows.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Electric Rate Case: </B>During 2007, we filed applications with the MPSC, as revised, seeking an
annual increase in revenue of $265&nbsp;million, which incorporated a requested 11.25&nbsp;percent authorized
return on equity. The filings sought recovery of the costs associated with increased plant
investment, including the purchase of the Zeeland power plant, increased equity investment, higher
operation and maintenance expenses, recovery of transaction costs from the sale of Palisades, and
the approval of an energy efficiency program. In June&nbsp;2008, the MPSC issued an order authorizing
us to increase revenue by $221&nbsp;million. This was lower than our revised position primarily due to
the MPSC&#146;s authorized return on equity of 10.7&nbsp;percent and the final determination of our Zeeland
plant revenue requirement. The MPSC order further instructed that we absorb $2&nbsp;million of the
Palisades sale transaction costs and that we exclude the energy efficiency surcharge from base
rates until pending legislation regarding energy efficiency programs is completed. The legislation
was enacted in October&nbsp;2008 and it established separate procedures for implementation of energy
efficiency programs outside of base rates.

Rock. In December&nbsp;2000, funding of a Big Rock trust fund ended because the MPSC-authorized
decommissioning surcharge collection period expired. The level of funds provided by the trust fell
short of the amount needed to complete decommissioning. As a result, we provided $44&nbsp;million of

sites under the NREPA, a Michigan statute that covers environmental activities including
remediation. These sites include 23 former manufactured gas plant facilities. We operated the
facilities on these sites for some part of their operating lives. For some of these sites, we have
no current ownership or may own only a portion of the original site. In December&nbsp;2005, we
estimated our remaining costs to be between $29&nbsp;million and $71&nbsp;million, based on 2005 discounted
costs, using a discount rate of three percent. The discount rate represented a 10-year average of
U.S. Treasury bond rates reduced for increases in the consumer price index. We expect to fund most
of these costs through proceeds from insurance settlements and MPSC-approved rates.

$46&nbsp;million, which includes $31&nbsp;million of deferred MGP expenditures. The timing of payments
related to the remediation of our manufactured gas plant sites is uncertain. We expect annual
response activity costs to range between $4&nbsp;million and $5&nbsp;million over the next four years.
Periodically, we review these response activity cost estimates. Any significant change in
assumptions, such as an increase in the number of sites, different remediation techniques, nature

Reconciliation for the GCR plan period of April&nbsp;1, 2006 to March&nbsp;31, 2007. The total amount
reflects an overrecovery of $1&nbsp;million plus $4&nbsp;million in accrued interest owed to customers.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>GCR plan for year 2007-2008: </I>In July&nbsp;2007, the MPSC issued an order for our 2007-2008 GCR plan
year. The order approved a settlement agreement that allowed a base GCR ceiling factor of $8.47
per mcf for April&nbsp;2007 through March&nbsp;2008, subject to a quarterly ceiling price adjustment
mechanism. We were able to maintain our GCR billing factor below the authorized level.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>GCR plan for year 2008-2009: </I>In December&nbsp;2007, we filed an application with the MPSC seeking
approval of a GCR plan for our 2008-2009 GCR Plan year. Our request proposed the use of a base GCR
ceiling factor of $8.17 per mcf, plus a quarterly GCR ceiling price adjustment contingent upon
future events.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Due to an increase in NYMEX gas prices, the base GCR ceiling factor increased to $9.52 per mcf for
the three-month period of April through June&nbsp;2008 and to $9.92 for the three-month period of July
through September&nbsp;2008, pursuant to the quarterly ceiling price adjustment mechanism. Beginning in
October&nbsp;2008, the base GCR ceiling factor was adjusted to $8.17 due to a decrease in NYMEX gas
prices.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The GCR billing factor is adjusted monthly in order to minimize the over or underrecovery amounts
in our annual GCR reconciliation. Our GCR billing factor for November&nbsp;2008 is $8.17 per mcf. When
we are unable to collect GCR costs as they are incurred, there is a negative impact on our cash
flows.

In the normal course of business, we issue surety bonds and indemnities to third parties to
facilitate commercial transactions. We would be required to pay a counterparty if it incurs losses
due to a breach of contract terms or nonperformance under the contract. At September&nbsp;30, 2008, the
guarantee liability recorded for surety bonds and indemnities was immaterial. The maximum
obligation for surety bonds and indemnities was less than $1&nbsp;million.

    <TD>&nbsp;The maximum obligation includes $85&nbsp;million related to the MCV Partnership&#146;s non-performance

and Rockland Capital Energy Investments, to pay $85&nbsp;million, subject to certain reimbursement
rights, if Dow terminates an agreement under which the MCV Partnership provides it steam and
electric power.
This agreement expires in March&nbsp;2016, subject to certain terms and conditions. The purchaser
secured its reimbursement obligation with an irrevocable letter of
credit of up to $85&nbsp;million.</td>

2008, our SERP investment in equity securities experienced a decline in fair value to $32&nbsp;million. In the third
quarter of 2008, we determined that this decline in fair value was other than temporary.
Accordingly, we reclassified net unrealized losses of $9&nbsp;million ($6&nbsp;million, net of tax) from AOCI
into Other expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income and established a new cost basis of $32
million for these investments, which was equal to fair value at September&nbsp;30, 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SFAS No.&nbsp;158. This standard required us to recognize the funded status of our defined benefit
postretirement plans on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December&nbsp;31, 2006. SFAS No.&nbsp;158 also
required us to recognize changes in the funded status of our plans in the year in which the changes
occur. In addition, the standard requires that we change our plan measurement date from November&nbsp;30
to December&nbsp;31, effective December&nbsp;31, 2008. In the first quarter of 2008, we recorded the
measurement date change, which resulted in a $6&nbsp;million net-of-tax decrease to retained earnings, a
$4&nbsp;million reduction to the SFAS No.&nbsp;158 regulatory assets, a $7&nbsp;million increase in Postretirement
benefit liabilities, and a $5&nbsp;million increase in Deferred tax assets on our Consolidated Balance
Sheets.

surcharge under a pension and OPEB equalization mechanism. For the three months ended June&nbsp;30,
2008, we collected $10&nbsp;million of pension and $2&nbsp;million of OPEB surcharge revenue in electric
rates. We recorded a reduction of $12&nbsp;million of equalization regulatory assets on our
Consolidated Balance Sheets and an increase of $12&nbsp;million of expense on our Consolidated
Statements of Income. Thus, our collection of the equalization mechanism surcharge had no impact
on net income for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2008.

</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Texas-Ohio Energy, Inc. filed a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California in November&nbsp;2003 against a number of energy companies
engaged in the sale of natural gas in the United States (including CMS Energy). The complaint
alleged defendants entered into a price-fixing scheme by engaging in activities to manipulate the
price of natural gas in California. The complaint alleged violations of the federal Sherman Act,
the California Cartwright Act, and the California Business and Professions Code relating to
unlawful, unfair and deceptive business practices. The complaint sought both actual and exemplary
damages for alleged overcharges, attorneys&#146; fees and injunctive relief regulating defendants&#146;
future conduct relating to pricing and price reporting. In April&nbsp;2004, a Nevada MDL panel ordered
the transfer of the Texas-Ohio case to a pending MDL matter in the Nevada federal district court
that at the time involved seven complaints originally filed in various state courts in California
that made similar allegations. The court granted the defendants&#146; motion to dismiss on the basis of
the &#147;filed rate doctrine&#147;and entered a judgment in favor of the defendants on April&nbsp;11, 2005.
Texas-Ohio appealed the dismissal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">While that appeal was pending, CMS Energy agreed to settle the Texas-Ohio case and three other
cases originally filed in California federal courts (Fairhaven, Abelman Art Glass and Utility
savings), for a total payment of $700,000. On September&nbsp;10, 2007, the court entered an order
granting final approval of the settlement and dismissing the CMS Energy defendants from these
cases. On September&nbsp;26, 2007, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded the case to
the federal district court. While CMS Energy is no longer a party to the Texas-Ohio case, the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals&#146; ruling may affect the positions of CMS Energy entities in other
pending cases, as it did in the Leggett case discussed below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Commencing in or about February&nbsp;2004, 15 state law complaints containing allegations similar to
those made in the Texas-Ohio case, but generally limited to the California Cartwright Act and
unjust enrichment, were filed in various California state courts against many of the same
defendants named in the federal price manipulation cases discussed in the preceding paragraphs. In
addition to CMS Energy, CMS MST is named in all 15 state law complaints. Cantera Gas Company and
Cantera Natural Gas, LLC (erroneously sued as Cantera Natural Gas, Inc.) are named in all but one
complaint.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In February&nbsp;2005, these 15 separate actions, as well as nine other similar actions that were filed
in California state court but do not name CMS Energy or any of its former or current subsidiaries,
were ordered coordinated with pending coordinated proceedings in the San Diego Superior Court. The
24 state court complaints involving price reporting were coordinated as Natural Gas Antitrust Cases
V. Plaintiffs in Natural Gas Antitrust Cases V were ordered to file a consolidated complaint, but
a consolidated complaint was filed only for the two putative class action lawsuits. Pursuant to a
ruling dated August&nbsp;23, 2006, CMS Energy, Cantera Gas Company and Cantera Natural Gas, LLC were
dismissed as defendants in the master class action and the 13 non-class actions, due to lack of
personal jurisdiction. In September&nbsp;2006, CMS MST reached an agreement in principle to settle the
master class action for $7

the settlement by the judge. On June&nbsp;12, 2007, the court entered a judgment, final order and
decree granting final approval to the class action settlement with CMS MST. Certain of the
individual cases filed in the California State Court remain pending against CMS MST.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Samuel D. Leggett, et al. v. Duke Energy Corporation, et al., a class action complaint brought on
behalf of retail and business purchasers of natural gas in Tennessee, was filed in the Chancery
Court of Fayette County, Tennessee in January&nbsp;2005. The complaint contains claims for violations
of the Tennessee Trade Practices Act based upon allegations of false reporting of price information
by defendants to publications that compile and publish indices of natural gas prices for various
natural gas hubs. The complaint seeks statutory full consideration damages and attorneys&#146; fees and
injunctive relief regulating defendants&#146; future conduct. The defendants include CMS Energy, CMS
MST and CMS Field Services. On February&nbsp;2, 2007, the state court granted defendants&#146; motion to
dismiss the complaint. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal on April&nbsp;4, 2007. Oral arguments were
heard on November&nbsp;8, 2007. On October&nbsp;29, 2008, the appellate court reversed the trial court and
remanded the case for further proceedings, finding that the trial court had mis-applied the filed
rate doctrine.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">J.P. Morgan Trust Company, in its capacity as Trustee of the FLI Liquidating Trust, filed an action
in Kansas state court in August&nbsp;2005 against a number of energy companies, including CMS Energy,
CMS MST and CMS Field Services. The complaint alleges various claims under the Kansas Restraint of
Trade Act relating to reporting false natural gas trade information to publications that report
trade information. Plaintiff is seeking statutory full consideration damages for its purchases of
natural gas between January&nbsp;1, 2000 and December&nbsp;31, 2001. The case was removed to the United
States District Court for the District of Kansas on September&nbsp;8, 2005 and transferred to the MDL
proceeding on October&nbsp;13, 2005. CMS Energy filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal
jurisdiction, which was initially granted on December&nbsp;18, 2006. The court later reversed its
ruling on reconsideration and allowed plaintiffs personal jurisdiction discovery. On September&nbsp;7,
2007, CMS MST and CMS Field Services filed an answer to the complaint. CMS Energy has renewed its
motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, and is awaiting the court&#146;s decision. On
September&nbsp;26, 2008, Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings on the ground that the
claims are barred by implied antitrust immunity arising from the Commodity Exchange Act.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On November&nbsp;20, 2005, CMS MST was served with a summons and complaint which named CMS Energy, CMS
MST and CMS Field Services as defendants in a putative class action filed in Kansas state court,
Learjet, Inc., et al. v. Oneok, Inc., et al. Similar to the other actions that have been filed,
the complaint alleges that during the putative class period, January&nbsp;1, 2000 through October&nbsp;31,
2002, defendants engaged in a scheme to violate the Kansas Restraint of Trade Act by knowingly
reporting false or inaccurate information to the publications, thereby affecting the market price
of natural gas. Plaintiffs, who allege they purchased natural gas from defendants and others for
their facilities, are seeking statutory full consideration damages consisting of the full
consideration paid by plaintiffs for natural gas. On December&nbsp;7, 2005, the case was removed to the
United States District Court for the District of Kansas and later transferred to the MDL
proceeding. On September&nbsp;7, 2007, the CMS MST and CMS Field Services filed an answer to the
complaint. CMS Energy has a pending motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and is
awaiting the court&#146;s decision. On September&nbsp;26, 2008, Defendants filed a motion for judgment on
the pleadings on the ground that the claims are barred by implied antitrust immunity arising from
the Commodity Exchange Act. Plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification on October&nbsp;17,
2008. On October&nbsp;27, 2008, Defendants filed a second motion for judgment on the pleadings on
statute of limitations grounds.

proceeding. CMS Energy filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, which was
initially granted. The court later reversed its ruling on reconsideration and allowed plaintiffs
personal jurisdiction discovery. CMS Energy has re-filed its personal jurisdiction motion and is
awaiting the court&#146;s decision. The remaining CMS Energy defendants filed a summary judgment motion
which the court granted in March&nbsp;2008 on the basis that the named plaintiffs made no natural gas
purchases from any named defendant. Plaintiffs requested reconsideration and the court ordered
further briefing which was done. We are awaiting the court&#146;s decision on reconsideration. On
September&nbsp;26, 2008, Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings on the ground that the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On October&nbsp;30, 2006, CMS Energy and CMS MST were each served with a summons and complaint which
named CMS Energy, CMS MST and CMS Field Services as defendants in an action filed in Missouri state
court, titled Missouri Public Service Commission v. Oneok, Inc. The Missouri Public Service
Commission purportedly is acting as an assignee of six local distribution companies, and it alleges
that from at least January&nbsp;2000 through at least October&nbsp;2002, defendants knowingly reported false
natural gas prices to publications that compile and publish indices of natural gas prices, and
engaged in wash sales. The complaint contains claims for violation of the Missouri Anti-Trust Law,
fraud and unjust enrichment. Defendants removed the case to Missouri federal court and then
transferred it to the Nevada MDL proceeding. On October&nbsp;30, 2007, the court granted the
plaintiff&#146;s motion to remand the case to state court in Missouri. CMS Energy filed a motion to
dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. Defendants, including CMS MST and CMS Field Services,
filed a motion to dismiss for lack of standing.

Defendants, including CMS Energy, CMS Field Services, and CMS MST, are alleged to have violated the
Missouri Anti-Trust Law in connection with their natural gas price reporting activities. The
action was removed to Missouri federal court, and later transferred to the MDL proceeding.
Plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the case back to state court but later withdrew that motion and
filed an amended complaint. CMS Energy filed a motion to dismiss for lack of personal
jurisdiction. CMS MST and CMS Field Services filed answers to the amended complaint. On September
26, 2008, Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings on the ground that the claims are
barred by implied antitrust immunity arising from the Commodity Exchange Act. Plaintiffs filed
their motion for class certification on October&nbsp;17, 2008.

December&nbsp;15, 2006 in Wisconsin state court on behalf of Wisconsin commercial entities that
purchased natural gas between January&nbsp;1, 2000 and October&nbsp;31, 2002. Defendants, including CMS
Energy, CMS ERM and Cantera Gas Company, LLC, are alleged to have violated Wisconsin&#146;s antitrust
statute by conspiring to manipulate natural gas prices. Plaintiffs are seeking full consideration
damages, plus exemplary damages in an amount equal to three times the actual damages, and
attorneys&#146; fees. The action was removed to Wisconsin federal district court and later transferred
to the MDL proceeding. All of the CMS Energy defendants filed a motion to dismiss for lack of
personal jurisdiction, which has been fully briefed. The court has not yet ruled on the motion.
On September&nbsp;26, 2008, Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings on the ground that

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">From May&nbsp;2000 through January&nbsp;2002, CMS MST engaged in simultaneous, prearranged commodity trading
transactions in which energy commodities were sold and repurchased at the same price. These
transactions, referred to as round-trip trades, had no impact on previously reported consolidated
net income, EPS or cash flows, but had the effect of increasing operating revenues and operating
expenses by equal amounts.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">CMS Energy is cooperating with an investigation by the DOJ concerning round-trip trading, which the
DOJ commenced in May&nbsp;2002. CMS Energy is unable to predict the outcome of this matter and what
effect, if any, this investigation will have on its business.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In March&nbsp;2004, the SEC approved a cease-and-desist order settling an administrative action against
CMS Energy related to round-trip trading. The order did not assess a fine and CMS Energy neither
admitted to nor denied the order&#146;s findings. The settlement resolved the SEC investigation
involving CMS Energy and CMS MST. Also in March&nbsp;2004, the SEC filed an action against three former
employees related to round-trip trading at CMS MST. As of June&nbsp;30, 2008, all three former
employees have settled with the SEC.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On November&nbsp;1, 2001, Quicksilver sued CMS MST in Texas state court in Fort Worth, Texas for breach
of contract in connection with a base contract for the sale and purchase of natural gas. The
contract outlines Quicksilver&#146;s agreement to sell, and CMS MST&#146;s agreement to buy, natural gas.
Quicksilver believes that it is entitled to more payments for natural gas than it has received.
CMS MST disagrees with Quicksilver&#146;s analysis and believes that it has paid all amounts owed for
delivery of gas according to the contract. Quicksilver sought damages of up to approximately
$126&nbsp;million, plus prejudgment interest and attorney fees.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The jury verdict awarded Quicksilver zero compensatory damages but $10&nbsp;million in punitive damages.
The jury found that CMS MST breached the contract and committed fraud but found no actual damage
related to such a claim.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">On May&nbsp;15, 2007, the trial court vacated the jury award of punitive damages but held that the
contract should be rescinded prospectively. The judicial rescission of the contract caused CMS
Energy to record a charge in the second quarter of 2007 of $24&nbsp;million, net of tax. To preserve
its appellate rights, CMS MST filed a motion to modify, correct or reform the judgment and a motion
for a judgment contrary to the jury verdict with the trial court. The trial court dismissed these
motions. CMS MST has filed a notice of appeal with the Texas Court of Appeals. Quicksilver has
filed a notice of cross appeal. Both Quicksilver and CMS MST have filed their opening briefs and
briefs of cross appeal. Oral arguments were made on October&nbsp;29, 2008. Quicksilver claims that the
contract should be rescinded from its inception, rather than merely from the date of the judgment.
Although we believe Quicksilver&#146;s position to be without merit, if the Court were to grant the
relief requested by Quicksilver, it could result in a loss in excess of $150&nbsp;million and have a
material adverse effect on us. We cannot predict the financial impact or outcome of this matter.

from the Alba field, filed a lawsuit in Harris County District Court in Texas against CMS Energy,
CMS Oil and Gas Company and other defendants alleging that his overriding royalty payments related
to Alba field production were improperly calculated. CMS Oil and Gas believes that Barr was being
properly paid on gas sales and that he was, and would not be, entitled to the additional overriding
royalty payment sought.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">All parties signed a confidential settlement agreement on April&nbsp;26, 2004. The settlement resolved
claims between Barr and the defendants, and the involved CMS Energy entities reserved all defenses
to any indemnity claim relating to the settlement. Issues exist between Marathon and certain
current or former CMS Energy entities as to the existence and scope of any indemnity obligations to
Marathon in connection with the settlement. Between April&nbsp;2005 and April&nbsp;2008, there were no
further communications between Marathon and CMS Energy entities regarding this matter. In April
2008, Marathon indicated its intent to pursue the indemnity claim. Present and former CMS Energy
entities and Marathon entered into an agreement tolling the statute of limitations on any claim by
Marathon under the indemnity. CMS Energy entities dispute Marathon&#146;s claim, and will vigorously
oppose it if raised in any legal proceeding. CMS Energy entities also will assert that Marathon
has not suffered any damages that would be material to CMS Energy. CMS Energy cannot predict the
outcome of this matter. If Marathon&#146;s claim were sustained, it would have a material effect on CMS
Energy&#146;s future earnings and cash flow.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>CMS Energy retains contingent liabilities in connection with its asset sales</I></B>

</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The agreements CMS Energy enters into for the sale of assets customarily include provisions whereby
it is required to retain specified preexisting liabilities such as for taxes, pensions, or
environmental conditions, indemnify the buyers against specified risks, including the inaccuracy of
representations and warranties it makes, and make payments to the buyers depending on the outcome
of post-closing adjustments, litigation, audits or other reviews. Examples of these situations
include claims related to attempts by the governments of Equatorial Guinea and Morocco to assess
taxes on past operations or transactions, and F. T. Barr. Many of these contingent liabilities can
remain open for extended periods of time after the sales are closed. Depending on the extent to
which the buyers may ultimately seek to enforce their rights under these contractual provisions,
and the resolution of any disputes CMS Energy may have concerning them, these liabilities could
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, liquidity and future results of
operations.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>CMS Energy and Consumers could incur significant capital expenditures to comply with environmental
regulations and face difficulty in recovering these costs on a current basis.</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We plan to spend $795&nbsp;million for equipment installation by 2015 to comply with a number of
environmental regulations, including regulations limiting nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide
emissions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In March&nbsp;2005, the EPA adopted the CAIR, which required additional coal-fired electric generating
plant emission controls for nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide. The CAIR was appealed to the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and in July&nbsp;2008, the court vacated the CAIR and the
CAIR federal implementation plan in their entirety. If upheld, the decision would remand the CAIR
back to the EPA to form a new rule, which will likely take considerable time. Several parties have
petitioned the court for hearing by the full court. This keeps the CAIR in effect at least until
the court decides whether to grant the rehearing. At the same time, Congress is considering
legislative options to reinstate all or part of the CAIR.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In March&nbsp;2005, the EPA issued the CAMR, which required initial reductions of mercury emissions from
coal-fired electric generating plants by 2010 and further reductions by 2018. A number of states
and other entities appealed certain portions of the CAMR to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia decided the case in
February&nbsp;2008, and determined that the rules developed by the EPA were not consistent with the
Clean Air Act. The U.S Supreme Court has been petitioned to review this decision. We continue to
monitor the development of federal regulations in this area.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In April&nbsp;2006, Michigan&#146;s governor proposed a plan that would result in mercury emissions
reductions of 90&nbsp;percent by 2015. If this plan becomes effective, we estimate the associated costs
will be approximately $400&nbsp;million by 2015.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The EPA
has alleged that some utilities have incorrectly classified major
plant modifications as &#147;routine maintenance, repair and
replacement&#148; rather than seeking permits from the EPA to modify
their plants. We responded to information requests from the EPA on
this subject in 2000, 2002, and 2006. We believe that we have
properly interpreted the requirements of &#147;routine maintenance,
repair and replacement.&#148; In October 2008, we received another
information request from the EPA pursuant to Section&nbsp;114 of the
Clean Air Act. In addition, in October 2008, we received a NOV for
three of our coal-fired facilities relating to violations of NSR and
PSD regulations, alleging ten projects from 1986 to 1998 were subject
to PSD review. We are currently preparing our response to this NOV
and the information request. If the EPA does not accept our
interpretation, we could be required to install additional pollution
control equipment at some or all of our coal-fired electric
generating plants and pay fines. Additionally, we would need to assess
the viability of continuing operations at certain plants. We cannot
predict the financial impact or outcome of this matter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Several legislative proposals have been introduced in the United States Congress that would require
reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide. These laws, or similar
state laws or rules, if enacted, could require us to replace equipment, install additional
equipment for emission controls, purchase allowances, curtail operations, or take other steps to
manage or lower the emission of greenhouse gases.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In July&nbsp;2004, the EPA issued rules that govern existing electric generating plant cooling water
intake systems. These rules require a significant reduction in the number of fish harmed by intake
structures at large existing power plants. The EPA compliance options in the rule were challenged
before the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In January&nbsp;2007, the court
rejected many of the compliance options favored by industry and remanded the bulk of the rule back
to the EPA for reconsideration. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit&#146;s ruling
is expected to increase significantly the cost of complying with this rule, but we will not know
the cost to comply until

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">the EPA&#146;s reconsideration is complete. In April&nbsp;2008, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear this
case, thereby extending the time before this issue is finally resolved.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">CMS Energy and Consumers expect to collect fully from their customers, through the ratemaking
process, these and other required environmental expenditures. Recovery of these environmental
expenditures could significantly impact customer rates. However, if these expenditures are not
recovered from customers in Consumers&#146; rates, CMS Energy and/or Consumers may be required to seek
significant additional financing to fund these expenditures, which could strain their cash
resources. We can give no assurances that CMS Energy and/or Consumers will have access to bank
financing or capital markets to fund these environmental expenditures.

competition in the domestic energy business. Generally, increased competition threatens market
share in certain segments of CMS Energy&#146;s business and can reduce its and Consumers&#146; profitability.</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Prior to October&nbsp;2008, the Customer Choice Act allowed all electric customers in Michigan the
choice of buying electric generation service from Consumers or an alternative electric supplier.
On October&nbsp;6, 2008, the Customer Choice Act was amended to limit generally the amount of customer
load that could purchase generation service from alternative electric suppliers to 10&nbsp;percent of
Consumers&#146; weather-adjusted sales from the preceding calendar year. At September&nbsp;30, 2008,
alternative electric suppliers were providing 339 MW of generation service to ROA customers. This
amount is equivalent to 4&nbsp;percent of Consumers&#146; weather-adjusted sales from the preceding calendar year.
While Consumers cannot predict the amount of electric supply load that may be lost to competitor
suppliers in the future, that amount is now limited.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>CMS Energy and Consumers may be adversely affected by regulatory investigations regarding
&#147;round-trip&#148; trading by CMS MST.</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of round-trip trading transactions (simultaneous, prearranged commodity trading
transactions in which energy commodities were sold and repurchased at the same price) at CMS MST,
CMS Energy is under investigation by the DOJ. CMS Energy received subpoenas in 2002 and 2003 from
U.S. Attorneys&#146; Offices regarding an investigation of those trades. CMS Energy responded to those
subpoenas in 2003 and 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In March&nbsp;2004, the SEC approved a cease-and-desist order settling an administrative action against
CMS Energy relating to round-trip trading. The order did not assess a fine and CMS Energy neither
admitted nor denied the order&#146;s findings. The settlement resolved the SEC investigation involving
CMS Energy and CMS MST. Also in March&nbsp;2004, the SEC filed an action against three former employees
related to round-trip trading at CMS MST. As of June&nbsp;30, 2008, all three former employees have
settled with the SEC.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">CMS Energy and Consumers cannot predict the outcome of the DOJ investigation. It is possible that
the outcome of the investigation could affect adversely CMS Energy&#146;s and Consumers&#146; financial
condition, liquidity or results of operations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Consumers&#146; exercise of its regulatory-out rights under the MCV PPA.</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The MCV Partnership, which leases and operates the MCV Facility, contracted to sell electricity to
Consumers under a 35-year power purchase agreement that began in 1990. Prior to September&nbsp;2007,
the cost that Consumers incurred under the MCV PPA exceeded the recovery amount allowed by the
MPSC. Pursuant to a regulatory-out provision in the contract, effective September&nbsp;2007, Consumers
provided notice that it intended to limit its capacity and fixed energy payments to the MCV
Partnership to the amount that it collects from its customers. The MCV Partnership previously
disputed the exercise of regulatory-out rights by Consumers. The MCV Partnership also filed an
application with the MPSC requesting the elimination of the 88.7&nbsp;percent availability cap on the
amount of capacity and fixed energy charges that Consumers was allowed to recover from its
customers.
