FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain information presented herein includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual future results to differ materially from those contemplated, projected, estimated or budgeted in such forward-looking statements. Securitization bondholders may suffer payment delays or losses if the Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC’s (“Company’s”) assets are not sufficient to pay interest or the scheduled principal of the securitization bonds. Funds for payments are dependent upon the securitization property and the right to collect the securitization surcharge over a period limited by Michigan Statute to 15 years. In addition, collections are dependent on the level of Detroit Edison electric deliveries to customers.

MANAGEMENT’S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

The Company is a special purpose entity established by The Detroit Edison Company (“Detroit Edison”) to recover certain stranded costs, called Securitization Property by Michigan Statute. The stranded costs primarily represent Detroit Edison’s unamortized investment in the 1,150 megawatt Fermi 2 nuclear power plant that was classified as a regulatory asset. On March 9, 2001 the Company issued securitization bonds (“Bonds”) and used the net proceeds to purchase Securitization Property from Detroit Edison. The Company receives revenues that are intended to recover its costs and service its debt. Amortization expense associated with the Securitization Property is adjusted as necessary so that expenses equal revenues and interest income.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, the Company has earned $48,768,000 in surcharge revenues and $250,000 in interest income compared to $38,663,000 in surcharge revenues and $204,000 in interest income for the three-month period of 2001. Amortization expense consists of amortization of the Securitization Property, overcollateralization fee, and over-recovery of securitization surcharge (“SC”). The amortization expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $22,087,000 and $11,728,000, respectively. During the 2002 three-month period, the Company also incurred interest expense of $26,302,000, amortization of issuance cost of $322,000, servicing fees of $219,000, and administrative fees of $63,000 compared to interest expense of $26,816,000, amortization of issuance cost of $42,000, servicing fees of $219,000, and administrative fees of $62,000 for the 2001 three-month period.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, the Company has earned $98,519,000 in surcharge revenues and $544,000 in interest income compared to $48,587,000 in surcharge revenues and $248,000 in interest income for the six-month period of 2001. The amortization expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $44,912,000 and $15,041,000, respectively. During the 2002 six-month period, the Company also incurred interest expense of $52,910,000, amortization of issuance cost of $633,000, servicing fees of $438,000, and administrative fees of $125,000 compared to interest expense of $33,371,000, amortization of issuance cost of $48,000, servicing fees of $292,000, and administrative fees of $83,000 for the 2001 six-month period.

Detroit Edison, as Servicer, collects a surcharge from its customers for the benefit of the Company and the Securitization Bondholders based on an initial $0.0032 per kilowatthour rate. This surcharge rate was modified to $0.0041 on September 1, 2001 and to $0.00392 effective March 1, 2002. Due to the time lag between SC billed to customers and amounts collected from those customers, Detroit Edison began cash remittance to the Trustee for SC collections on May 14, 2001.

Under a Michigan Public Service Commission financing order, Detroit Edison has implemented an annual adjustment to the SC to provide sufficient funds for timely payments related to the Bonds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — GENERAL

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

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

The financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of the Company, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Financial results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year.

NOTE 2 — LONG-TERM DEBT

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company retired $35,395,000 of the Bonds.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

To the Managers of
The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed statement of financial position of The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC as of June 30, 2002, and the related condensed statement of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the condensed statement of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the condensed statement of member’s equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC’s management.

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

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

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