ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On May 2, 2007, CMS Enterprises Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of CMS Energy
Corporation ("CMS Energy"), completed the previously announced sale of CMS
Generation, its wholly owned subsidiary. CMS Generation holds an indirect
interest in certain independent power and water projects and plant operations
and maintenance companies located in Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, India and the
United Arab Emirates. The Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC ("Abu Dhabi")
was the buyer. The purchase price was $900 million, which included the payment
of approximately $106 million in debt. A CMS Energy-issued news release dated
May 2, 2007, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference,
contains additional information with respect to the transaction.
CMS Energy and Abu Dhabi's majority owner, the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity
Authority ("ADWEA"), have been long-time partners. In conjunction with ADWEA (in
the case of one project, in conjunction with International Power Plc), CMS
Generation developed, constructed, and operated two major independent power and
water projects in the United Arab Emirates. Those facilities, Al Taweelah A2 and
Shuweihat S1, were part of the sale. The other businesses included in the sale
were CMS Energy's interests in the Jorf Lasfar Energy Company coal-fueled power
plant in Morocco, the Jubail Energy Company natural gas cogeneration power plant
in Saudi Arabia, the Takoradi International Company crude oil power plant in
Ghana, and the ST-CMS Company coal-fueled power plant in Neyveli, India. A
significant portion of CMS Generation's interests are equity method investments.
The sale agreements contain indemnifications, guarantees, and representations
and warranties that are typical for such sale transactions. Consideration for
the sale was established as a result of (1) the use of CMS Energy's internal
valuation models, (2) assistance by investment banking consultants, and (3)
arm's-length negotiations between CMS Energy and Abu Dhabi.
ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
(b) PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of CMS
Energy to give effect to the sale of interests in CMS Generation and the sale of
Argentine and Michigan businesses discussed in the Form 8-K filed on March 14,
2007. The transactions will be accounted for in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" and Emerging Issues Task Force 03-13, "Applying
the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FAS Statement No. 144 in Determining Whether
to Report Discontinued Operations".
Certain information and notes normally included in consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission governing pro forma information. The
accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of CMS
Energy, as contained in its 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet assumes the sale of
interests in CMS Generation and the sale of Argentine and Michigan businesses
were completed on December 31, 2006. Therefore, the net loss and gain on the
sales recognized at December 31, 2006 in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet will ultimately differ from the actual loss and gain
that occurred at the dates of sale. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) assume the dispositions occurred on
January 1, 2004. The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements are presented for purposes of illustration only, in
accordance
2
with the adjustments set forth below, and are not necessarily indicative of the
financial position or results of operations that would have occurred had the
sales been completed on the dates as of which, or at the beginning of the period
which, the sales are being given effect, nor are they necessarily indicative of
future operating results or financial position of CMS Energy.

NOTE 1 -- SALE OF INTERESTS IN THE ARGENTINE AND MICHIGAN BUSINESSES AND CMS
GENERATION
CMS Energy has reflected, in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements, total proceeds of $1.080 billion. The
proceeds from the sales will be used to reduce debt. The sales would result in
an after-tax loss of $128 million if calculated as of December 31, 2006. This
loss is reflected in retained deficit in the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2006. The loss was
calculated as follows:

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) include
the elimination of allocated parent interest of $15 million in 2006, $11 million
