Earnings from continuing operations for the 1996 six-month and twelve-month periods rose $22.0 million ($.28 per share) and $49.7 million ($.66 per share), respectively, over the comparable 1995 periods. MCN's earnings were further boosted by income from discontinued operations, including a one-time gain of $36.2 million ($.54 per share) from the sale of The Genix Group, Inc. (Genix), MCN's computer operations services subsidiary. As discussed in the "Discontinued Operations" section that follows, MCN sold Genix during the second quarter of 1996. A summary of financial performance follows: QUARTER 6 MONTHS 12 MONTHS ------------ ------------ ------------ 1996 1995 1996 1995 1996 1995 ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- NET INCOME (LOSS) (in Millions) Continuing Operations: Gas Distribution...................... $ .8 $(2.8) $ 72.0 $54.4 $ 93.3 $52.3 Diversified Energy.................... 4.4 4.4 12.2 7.8 22.0 13.3 ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- 5.2 1.6 84.2 62.2 115.3 65.6 ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- Discontinued Operations: Income From Operations................ .6 .7 1.6 1.7 3.4 3.5 Gain on Sale.......................... 36.2 -- 36.2 -- 36.2 -- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- 36.8 .7 37.8 1.7 39.6 3.5 ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- $ 42.0 $ 2.3 $122.0 $63.9 $154.9 $69.1 ====== ===== ====== ===== ====== ===== EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Continuing Operations: Gas Distribution...................... $ .01 $(.04) $ 1.08 $ .86 $ 1.40 $ .85 Diversified Energy.................... .07 .07 .18 .12 .33 .22 ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- .08 .03 1.26 .98 1.73 1.07 ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- Discontinued Operations: Income From Operations................ .01 .01 .03 .03 .06 .05 Gain on Sale.......................... .54 -- .54 -- .54 -- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- .55 .01 .57 .03 .60 .05 ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- $ .63 $ .04 $ 1.83 $1.01 $ 2.33 $1.12 ====== ===== ====== ===== ====== ===== - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strategic direction -- MCN's objective is to achieve superior, long-term returns for its shareholders. To accomplish this, MCN will aggressively invest in a diverse portfolio of domestic and international energy-related projects. The success of this strategy will be demonstrated by the growth of MCN's earnings and the total return to its shareholders over time. GAS DISTRIBUTION Results reflect 13.6% colder than normal weather -- Earnings increased $3.6 million ($.05 per share) for the 1996 quarter, and $17.6 million ($.22 per share) and $41.0 million ($.55 per share) for the six- and twelve-month periods, respectively, as compared to the same 1995 periods. The increases are primarily due to higher gas deliveries resulting from significantly colder weather, as well as lower operation and maintenance expenses. 1 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) QUARTER 6 MONTHS 12 MONTHS ----------- ----------- ------------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 1996 1995 ----- ---- ---- ----- ----- ------ EFFECT OF WEATHER ON GAS MARKETS AND EARNINGS Percentage Colder (Warmer) Than Normal............................ 13.6% 2.5% 7.3% (4.1)% 7.4% (9.6)% Increase (Decrease) From Normal in: Gas Markets (in Bcf).............. 3.2 .5 8.6 (4.7) 14.8 (15.5) Net Income (in Millions).......... $ 2.9 $ .7 $7.8 $(4.1) $13.3 $(13.9) Earnings Per Share................ $ .04 $.01 $.12 $(.06) $ .20 $ (.23) GROSS MARGIN Gross margin increases -- Gas Distribution gross margin (operating revenues less cost of gas) increased $7.0 million, $25.6 million and $61.5 million for the 1996 quarter, six- and twelve-month periods, respectively, reflecting higher gas sales and transportation deliveries.

The increases are primarily due to colder weather, as well as market expansion through the addition of approximately 14,000 customers since June 1995. End user transportation deliveries to the Michigan Power project, MCN Investment Corporation's (MCNIC's) 50%-owned 123 megawatt cogeneration plant that became operational in October 1995, totaled 2.4 Bcf, 5.0 Bcf and 7.1 Bcf during the 1996 quarter, six- and twelve-month periods, respectively. End user transportation for all 1996 periods also reflects reduced deliveries to a large-volume industrial customer during a temporary plant shutdown that occurred in the second quarter. QUARTER 6 MONTHS 12 MONTHS ----------- ----------- ----------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 1996 1995 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- GAS DISTRIBUTION MARKETS (in Bcf) Gas Sales................................... 34.6 31.9 138.2 122.4 225.5 192.4 End User Transportation..................... 32.0 32.3 79.5 75.9 149.4 140.5 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 66.6 64.2 217.7 198.3 374.9 332.9 Intermediate Transportation*................ 110.3 71.9 258.3 184.5 448.3 324.0 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 176.9 136.1 476.0 382.8 823.2 656.9 ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== *Includes intercompany volumes INTERMEDIATE TRANSPORTATION deliveries continued to rise, increasing 38.4 Bcf, 73.8 Bcf and 124.3 Bcf in the 1996 quarter, six- and twelve-month periods, respectively, primarily as a result of additional volumes transported for ANR Pipeline Company and increased transportation of Antrim gas for Michigan gas producers and brokers. In order to meet the growing demand for the transportation of Antrim gas, MichCon recently expanded the transportation capacity of its northern Michigan gathering system. A significant portion of the project was completed in 1995, and the remainder is to be completed by year end. This expansion enabled MichCon to transport an additional 30.1 Bcf, 59.9 Bcf and 76.1 Bcf of natural gas in the 1996 quarter, six- and twelve- month periods, respectively. Profit margins on intermediate transportation services are considerably less than margins on gas sales or for end user transportation markets. COST OF GAS Cost of gas is affected by variations in sales volumes and cost of gas rates. Through the Gas Cost Recovery (GCR) mechanism, MichCon's rates are set to recover 100% of prudently and reasonably incurred gas costs. Therefore, fluctuations in cost of gas sold have little or no effect on gross margins and earnings. Cost of gas sold increased in the 1996 quarter, six- and twelve-month periods due to higher sales volumes resulting primarily from the colder weather, as well as higher prices paid for natural gas in the spot market. The increase in market prices paid for gas resulted in an increase in the cost of gas sold per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of $.82 (37%), $.59 (25%) and $.39 (16%) in the 1996 quarter, six- and twelve-month periods, respectively, from the comparable 1995 periods. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE expenses were lower in all 1996 periods compared to the 1995 periods due to lower employee benefit costs, primarily pension and retiree healthcare costs. Also contributing to the 1996 six-month period were decreased labor costs. The reductions in the 1996 quarter and six-month period were partially offset by increased uncollectibles expense. Management's continuing efforts to reduce operating costs also contributed to the decreases. DEPRECIATION AND DEPLETION increased in all 1996 periods due to higher plant balances, reflecting capital expenditures of $396.1 million over the past two calendar years. PROPERTY AND OTHER TAXES for all 1996 periods increased due to higher property balances. 3 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) OTHER INCOME & DEDUCTIONS The increase in other income & deductions for all 1996 periods reflects additional interest expense relating to an increase in the average amount of long-term debt outstanding. INCOME TAXES Income taxes increased for all 1996 periods due primarily to increases in earnings. Income tax expense in both the 1996 and 1995 twelve-month periods were favorably affected by the resolution of prior years' tax issues. OUTLOOK Gas Distribution's strategy is to grow revenues and reduce its costs in order to maintain strong returns and provide customers with quality service at competitive prices. The success of this strategy is evident in current operating results. MCN is focused on continuing this trend throughout 1996 and beyond. DIVERSIFIED ENERGY Diversified Energy maintains solid earnings level -- The Diversified Energy group reported quarterly earnings of $4.4 million ($.07 per share), unchanged from the comparable 1995 period. Earnings for the 1996 six- and twelve-month periods increased $4.4 million ($.06 per share) and $8.7 million ($.11 per share), respectively. Reflecting the success of MCN's strategy to invest in various segments of the natural gas industry, earnings growth was achieved in the Exploration & Production (E&P) and Gas Gathering & Processing operations. These results were also affected by lower earnings in Gas Marketing & Cogeneration for the current quarter and six-month period and increased financing costs in all periods as a result of additional capital needed to fund investments.

The results reflect a significantly higher level of gas and oil produced from properties that have been acquired since mid-1994 and the development of other new projects. Gas production was 13.2 Bcf and oil production was 196 thousand barrels in the quarter, substantial increases over 1995 production levels of 6.7 Bcf of gas and 85 thousand barrels of oil. Additionally, E&P operations have increased Diversified Energy's earnings through the generation of an increasing amount of federal gas production tax credits. E&P operating results were impacted by the average natural gas sales rate per Mcf which decreased $.02 to $1.90 in the 1996 quarter. For the six- and twelve month periods, the average natural gas sales rate increased $.04 to $1.99 and $.09 to $2.02, respectively. The average sales rates include the effect of natural gas swap agreements which are used to limit Diversified Energy's exposure to the risk of market price fluctuations. Natural gas swap agreements had the effect of reducing the average sales rate for the 1996 quarter and six-month period by $.29 and $.31 per Mcf, respectively, and increasing the average sales rate for the current twelve-month period by $.02 per Mcf. Natural gas swap agreements increased the average sales rates for the 1995 quarter, six- and twelve-month periods by $.44, $.53 and $.30 per Mcf, respectively. E&P operating results also reflect an increase in the average oil sales rate per barrel of $3.23, $2.14 and $1.25 for the 1996 quarter, six- and twelve- month periods, respectively. Partially offsetting the improved results were increases in the average production cost per Mcf equivalent. MCN expects the continued growth in E&P earnings through an increasing level of natural gas and oil production resulting from its focused efforts to acquire and develop lower risk reserves that generate favorable rates of return. At year end 1995, MCN had a reserve base of 858 Bcf of proved natural gas and 4.7 million barrels of proved oil or the equivalent of another 28 Bcf of natural gas with approximately 75% located in low risk areas. Over $130 million has been invested to acquire and develop reserves during the first half of 1996, with an additional $250-$300 million expected by year end 1996. MCN expects ongoing increases in production levels as it acquires new reserves, completes additional developmental drilling and obtains the full benefits from previous acquisitions. Natural gas and oil production levels are estimated to exceed 70 Bcf equivalent (Bcfe) in 1996, more than double 1995 production levels of 33.7 Bcfe. Likewise, E&P operating income for 1996 is expected to be significantly above the $18.5 million generated in 1995. GAS MARKETING & COGENERATION had an operating loss of $3.1 million for the 1996 quarter, compared to operating income of $2.2 million for the 1995 second quarter. Operating income decreased $1.5 million for the six-month period, and was unchanged for the twelve-month period. Operating results were affected by a significant increase in sales volumes driven by additional sales to customers in the midwest and northeast United States and eastern Canada. The increase in sales during the quarter was more than offset by lower margins on gas sales due to the timing of gas inventory costs related to refilling storage fields that were depleted during the abnormally cold winter of 1995- 1996. Gas injected to storage is valued at MCN's anticipated average purchase rate for 1996. Gas Marketing & Cogeneration's average gas purchase rate during the second quarter of 1996 has exceeded the expected average rate for the year, reflecting unusually high current prices for gas in the marketplace. As a result of these higher costs, margins during the quarter have been depressed. Additionally, gas sales margins were lowered by the accelerated recognition of unrealized losses on written options used to manage the price risk of future gas sales. However, these accelerated losses will be offset in the second half of 1996 as the related gas sales are made. Higher transportation costs were also incurred to add firm capacity needed to serve MCN's growing markets in the midwest and northeast United States. MCN anticipates that margins will be favorably affected in the latter half of 1996 as gas is withdrawn from storage and its contracted transportation capacity is more fully utilized to meet customers' peak winter requirements. 5 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) GAS GATHERING & PROCESSING operating income increased $.8 million for the 1996 quarter, and $2.2 million and $2.3 million for the six- and twelve-month periods, respectively. The increases reflect income from the first quarter 1996 acquisition of a 99% interest in the Dauphin Island Gathering Partnership (DIGP). The partnership owns a 90 mile gas gathering system in the Mobile Bay area of offshore Alabama. MCN subsequently sold a 35% interest in the partnership in the second quarter and another 5% early in the third quarter to Pan Energy Dauphin Island Company (Pan Energy). Working with Pan Energy and others, MCN expects to enhance its opportunities to further develop and expand the gathering system in one of the fastest growing production areas of the country (Note 2). In addition, earnings were favorably affected by increased volumes of gas processed during the quarter, six- and twelve-month periods of 5.4 Bcf, 10.9 Bcf and 18.3 Bcf, respectively.

Other E&P production is sold to affiliated companies for marketing. RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY -- Risks associated with significant future E&P activities will be minimized by diversifying investments along the lines of geography, geology, risk profile and technology, as well as by partnering with operators who bring capital and expertise. MCN primarily manages price risk by attempting to maintain a balanced portfolio of gas supply and gas sales agreements. MCN uses natural gas futures, options and swap contracts to manage its price risk by offsetting a large portion of its open positions. MCN has hedged most of its gas and oil production over the next ten years which is not covered by long-term fixed-price sales obligations. CORPORATE & OTHER Corporate & other reflects administrative expenses associated with corporate management activities. EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF JOINT VENTURES Earnings from joint ventures increased $2.6 million, $3.8 million and $4.4 million for the 1996 quarter, six- and twelve-month periods, respectively. The increases are primarily due to earnings from Gas Gathering & Processing ventures reflecting income from the December 1995 acquisition of a 50% interest in a 40 mile gas gathering line in Virginia. Additionally, the improved earnings from other joint ventures include $1.7 million from the sale of joint venture property.

The current twelve-month period also reflects higher dividends paid on $100 million of preferred securities of a subsidiary which were issued in November 1994. Partially offsetting the increased interest and dividend costs was other income which includes a $3.5 million pretax gain from the sale of a 35% interest in DIGP. INCOME TAXES Income taxes for all 1996 periods were favorably impacted by increased federal gas production tax credits related to E&P projects. The 1996 six- and twelve- month periods were also impacted by increased federal taxes on improved pretax earnings. OUTLOOK MCN plans to continue aggressively growing its E&P reserve base, primarily in low risk areas which generate attractive returns. The development of reserves will contribute toward a reliable long-term supply to meet the increased sales requirements of MCN's Gas Marketing & Cogeneration operations as it expands into areas beyond Michigan's borders. Additionally, MCN expects oil to become a significantly larger portion of its total proved reserves, creating a more diverse portfolio. MCN also plans to invest in gas gathering facilities outside of Michigan, targeting areas that contain gas marketing or E&P opportunities. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In June 1996, MCN completed the sale of its computer operations subsidiary, Genix, to Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. for $137.5 million, resulting in an after-tax gain of $36.2 million. The selling price of Genix could be adjusted downward by as much as $45.0 million depending upon the occurrence of certain contingencies, which include, among other things, adjustments arising from changes in net assets acquired, retention of certain customers for one to two years and tax-related matters. Although Genix has experienced significant growth in revenues and operating income over the past several years, MCN's focused strategy is to invest in energy-related projects that generate higher rates of return. Summary statements and other information on discontinued computer operations can be found in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY OPERATING ACTIVITIES MCN's cash flow from operating activities decreased $19.1 million during the 1996 six-month period compared to the same 1995 period. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in working capital requirements, partially offset by higher income, after adjusting for depreciation, deferred taxes and the gain on the sale of Genix and DIGP. MCN anticipates that working capital requirements will be greater throughout 1996 as compared to 1995 in order to fund temporary GCR undercollections of the Gas Distribution group which is $42 million as of June 1996. FINANCING ACTIVITIES MCN issues new shares of common stock pursuant to its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and various employee benefit plans. During 1996, MCN anticipates the issuance of new shares of common stock pursuant to these plans, generating proceeds of approximately $18 million. During the first six months of 1996, issuances under these plans generated proceeds of $8.8 million. 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED) In April 1996, MCN issued 5,865,000 Preferred Redeemable Increased Dividend Equity Securities (PRIDES), yielding 8 3/4% (Note 3b). The PRIDES are convertible securities that consist of a contract under which MCN is obligated to sell, and the PRIDES holders are obligated to purchase, approximately $135 million in MCN common stock in April 1999. These securities will convert into common stock in April 1999 and enhance MCN's creditworthiness. The PRIDES are currently rated the equivalent of "BBB+" by the major rating agencies. In July 1996, MCN issued through a wholly-owned trust, 3,200,000 shares of 8 5/8% Trust Originated Preferred Securities (TOPrS) for $80 million (Note 3c). Proceeds from the issuance were invested by MCN in its Diversified Energy group which used such proceeds to reduce short-term debt incurred to fund capital expenditures, working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes. The TOPrS are currently rated the equivalent of "BBB+" or "baa2" by the major rating agencies. GAS DISTRIBUTION Cash and cash equivalents normally increase and short-term debt is reduced in the first part of each year as gas inventories are depleted and funds are received from winter heating sales. During the 1996 six-month period, MichCon repaid $138.3 million of commercial paper. During the latter part of the year, cash and cash equivalents normally decrease as funds are used to finance increases in gas inventories and customer accounts receivable. To meet its seasonal short-term borrowing needs, MichCon normally issues commercial paper which is backed by credit lines with several banks. MichCon has established credit lines to allow for borrowings of up to $100 million under a 364-day revolving credit facility and up to $150 million under a three-year revolving credit facility. Commercial paper of $56.4 million was outstanding as of June 30, 1996 under these lines. In May 1996, MichCon issued first mortgage bonds totaling $70 million under its existing shelf registration. The proceeds were used to repay short-term obligations, finance MichCon capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. MichCon's capital requirements and general market conditions will affect the timing and amount of future issuances. DIVERSIFIED ENERGY In January 1996, MCNIC issued $200 million of medium-term notes using the proceeds to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. In May 1996, MCNIC issued $130 million of medium-term notes and used the proceeds to repay short-term debt incurred to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. MCNIC has established credit lines to allow for borrowings of up to $100 million under a 364-day revolving credit facility and up to $300 million under a three-year revolving credit facility. The facilities support MCNIC's $400 million commercial paper program which is used to finance capital investments of the Diversified Energy group and working capital requirements of its gas marketing operations. During the second quarter of 1996, MCNIC repaid $217.4 million of commercial paper leaving a balance of $79.6 million outstanding under this program at June 30, 1996. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Capital investments equaled $306.3 million in the 1996 six-month period compared to $213.0 million for the same period in 1995. The increase was due to higher Diversified Energy investments, primarily for E&P expenditures, as well as the DIGP acquisition. Gas Distribution capital expenditures were incurred to develop new gas distribution and transportation markets. 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONCLUDED) MCN completed the sale of Genix (Note 5) and an interest in DIGP (Note 2) in the second quarter resulting in proceeds of $169 million. Proceeds from these sales were used to reduce short-term debt incurred to fund Diversified Energy's capital investments. 6 MONTHS --------------------- 1996 1995 --------- --------- CAPITAL INVESTMENTS (in Millions) Consolidated Capital Expenditures: Gas Distribution....................................... $ 74.6 $ 80.1 Diversified Energy..................................... 142.8 98.2 Discontinued Operations................................ 6.5 3.0 --------- --------- 223.9 181.3 --------- --------- MCN's Share of Joint Venture Capital Expenditures: Cogeneration........................................... .3 24.9 Other.................................................. 3.5 6.9 --------- --------- 3.8 31.8 --------- --------- Acquisition (Note 2).................................... 78.6 -- --------- --------- Minority Partners' Share of Consolidated Capital Expenditures........................................... -- (.1) --------- --------- Total Capital Investments............................... $ 306.3 $ 213.0 ========= ========= OUTLOOK Capital investments in 1996 expected to total $850 million -- MCN's strategic direction is to grow significantly by investing in a portfolio of energy- related projects. For 1996, MCN anticipates investing approximately $250 million in Gas Distribution and approximately $600 million in Diversified Energy. Capital investments in Gas Distribution will be made to add new gas sales customers, develop new gas transportation markets and make improvements to existing systems. This includes construction of a 59 mile loop of MichCon's existing Milford-to-Belle River Pipeline which will improve the overall reliability and efficiency of MichCon's gas storage and transmission system. The pipeline is anticipated to be completed in early 1997 at a cost of approximately $80 million. Within Diversified Energy, approximately $400 million will be invested in E&P projects for drilling operations and to acquire reserves in the Michigan, Appalachian, Midcontinent, Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. Diversified Energy will invest the remaining $200 million in gas gathering, gas processing and power generation projects. It is management's opinion that MCN and its subsidiaries will have sufficient capital resources, both internal and external, to meet anticipated capital requirements. 9 MCN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS) JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, ---------------------- ------------ 1996 1995 1995 ---------- ---------- ------------ ASSETS CURRENT ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents, at cost (which approximates market value).............. $ 57,838 $ 44,458 $ 19,259 Accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts of $18,726, $21,040 and $13,765, respectively............... 295,105 187,071 317,945 Accrued unbilled revenues................ 16,692 14,519 92,410 Accrued gas cost recovery revenues....... 42,026 -- -- Gas in inventory (Note 6)................ 28,033 87,549 71,763 Property taxes assessed applicable to future periods.......................... 36,575 33,117 60,633 Gas receivable........................... 24,533 21,360 19,266 Other.................................... 26,465 29,550 34,220 ---------- ---------- ---------- 527,267 417,624 615,496 ---------- ---------- ---------- DEFERRED CHARGES AND OTHER ASSETS Investment in and advances to joint ventures................................ 138,255 68,371 129,026 Deferred swap losses and receivables (Note 7)................................ 35,605 37,287 54,807 Deferred postretirement benefit costs.... 10,060 17,614 13,112 Deferred environmental costs (Note 8a)... 31,016 -- 35,000 Prepaid benefit costs.................... 45,959 12,710 23,827 Other.................................... 96,327 106,954 90,626 ---------- ---------- ---------- 357,222 242,936 346,398 ---------- ---------- ---------- PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, at cost Gas Distribution......................... 2,559,713 2,275,431 2,496,711 Exploration & Production................. 711,264 365,116 576,810 Gas Gathering & Processing............... 104,026 76,525 22,324 Other.................................... 15,968 55,466 64,709 ---------- ---------- ---------- 3,390,971 2,772,538 3,160,554 Less--Accumulated depreciation and depletion............................... 1,266,882 1,168,099 1,223,808 ---------- ---------- ---------- 2,124,089 1,604,439 1,936,746 ---------- ---------- ---------- $3,008,578 $2,264,999 $2,898,640 ========== ========== ========== LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY CURRENT LIABILITIES Accounts payable......................... $ 192,294 $ 150,440 $ 217,184 Notes payable ........................... 77,291 71,243 245,635 Current portion of long-term debt, capital lease obligations and redeemable cumulative preferred securities......... 84,642 7,087 7,000 Gas inventory equalization (Note 6)...... 53,955 36,608 -- Federal income, property and other taxes payable................................. 89,239 78,348 83,384 Customer deposits........................ 9,864 10,030 11,550 Other.................................... 93,622 58,006 87,575 ---------- ---------- ---------- 600,907 411,762 652,328 ---------- ---------- ---------- DEFERRED CREDITS AND OTHER LIABILITIES Accumulated deferred income taxes........ 145,648 100,499 125,896 Unamortized investment tax credit........ 35,858 37,741 36,797 Tax benefits amortizable to customers.... 113,631 112,639 114,668 Deferred swap gains and payables (Note 7)...................................... 35,717 28,476 51,923 Accrued postretirement benefit costs..... -- 14,059 15,551 Accrued environmental costs (Note 8a) ... 35,000 -- 35,000 Minority interest (Note 2)............... 47,267 18,237 18,375 Other.................................... 93,186 83,989 93,470 ---------- ---------- ---------- 506,307 395,640 491,680 ---------- ---------- ---------- LONG-TERM DEBT, including capital lease obligations (Note 3a).................... 1,048,268 706,225 993,407 ---------- ---------- ---------- REDEEMABLE CUMULATIVE PREFERRED SECURITIES OF SUBSIDIARIES.......................... 96,511 96,392 96,449 ---------- ---------- ---------- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Notes 3b and 8) COMMON SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Common stock............................. 670 660 664 Additional paid-in capital............... 461,257 439,061 446,055 Retained earnings........................ 309,467 215,801 218,425 PRIDES yield enhancement and issuance costs (Note 3b).........................

GENERAL The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with MCN's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial statements to conform with the 1996 presentation. In the opinion of management, the unaudited information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of only recurring adjustments or accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the periods presented. Because of seasonal and other factors, revenues, expenses, net income and earnings per share for the interim periods should not be construed as representative of revenues, expenses, net income and earnings per share for all or any part of the balance of the current year or succeeding periods. 2. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION During the first quarter of 1996, MCN acquired a 99% interest in the Dauphin Island Gathering Partnership (DIGP). The partnership owns a 90 mile gas gathering system in the Mobile Bay area of offshore Alabama. The total cost of the acquisition was $78,620,000 and was accounted for under the purchase method. In June 1996, MCN sold a 35% interest in the partnership to PanEnergy Dauphin Island Company (PanEnergy) for $31,500,000. The sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $2,267,000. In July 1996, MCN sold an additional 5% interest in the partnership to PanEnergy for $4,500,000, generating an additional after-tax gain of $324,000. 3. CAPITALIZATION A. LONG-TERM DEBT The following long-term debt totaling $400,000,000 was issued during 1996: ISSUE DATE DESCRIPTION AMOUNT ISSUED --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- January 1996 MCNIC Medium-Term Notes 5.84%, due February 1999 $ 80,000,000 6.03%, due February 2001 $ 60,000,000 6.32%, due February 2003 $ 60,000,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May 1996 MichCon First Mortgage Bonds 6.51%, due June 1999 $ 30,000,000 7.15%, due May 2006 $ 40,000,000 MCNIC Medium-Term Notes 6.82%, due May 1999 $130,000,000 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B. PREFERRED REDEEMABLE INCREASED DIVIDEND EQUITY SECURITIES (PRIDES) In April 1996, MCN issued 5,865,000 PRIDES yielding 8 3/4% with a stated amount of $23.00 per security. Each security represents a contract to purchase MCN common stock in April 1999 (or earlier under certain circumstances). Proceeds from the issuance totaling approximately $135,000,000 were used to acquire 6.5% U.S. Treasury Notes underlying the security as subsequently discussed. Accordingly, MCN received no cash from issuing the PRIDES. 13 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Under each security, MCN is obligated to sell and the PRIDES holder is obligated to purchase for $23.00, between .8333 of a share and one share of MCN common stock. The exact number of MCN common shares to be sold is dependent on the market value of a share in April 1999. However, the total number to be sold will not be less than 4,887,500 shares or more than 5,865,000 shares. MCN is also obligated to pay semi-annually to the PRIDES holder a yield enhancement payment at an annual rate of 2 1/4% of the stated amount. MCN has recorded the present value of the yield enhancement payments totaling $8,243,000 as a liability and a reduction to Common Shareholders' Equity on MCN's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The liability is reduced when the yield enhancement payments are paid. MCN has the right to defer the yield enhancement payments in which case MCN cannot declare dividends on its common stock until the yield enhancement payments have been made. In addition, MCN has incurred costs of $5,977,000 in conjunction with the issuance of PRIDES and similarly has recorded them as a reduction to Common Shareholders' Equity. The Treasury Notes underlying the securities are pledged as collateral to secure the PRIDES holders' obligation to purchase MCN common stock under the stock purchase contract. At maturity, in April 1999, the principal received from the U.S. Treasury Notes will be used to satisfy the PRIDES holders' obligation in full. Neither the PRIDES nor the U.S. Treasury Notes will be included on MCN's Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. However, the issuance of common stock will be reflected when cash proceeds totaling approximately $135,000,000 are received by MCN in April 1999. C. TRUST ORIGINATED PREFERRED SECURITIES (TOPRS) In July 1996, MCN Financing I (MCN Financing), a business trust wholly owned by MCN, issued 3,200,000 shares of 8 5/8% TOPrS, at the liquidation preference value of $25 per share. The trust was formed for the sole purpose of issuing the preferred securities and lending the gross proceeds thereof to MCN. Holders of the preferred securities are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 8 5/8% of the liquidation preference value. Dividends are payable quarterly and in substance are tax deductible by MCN. Gross proceeds of the issuance totaled $80,000,000 and were invested in an equivalent amount of 8 5/8% Junior Subordinated Debentures of MCN due 2036. MCN has the right to extend interest payment periods on the debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters, and as a consequence, quarterly dividend payments on the preferred securities can be deferred by MCN Financing during any such interest payment period. In the event that MCN exercises this right, MCN may not declare dividends on its common stock. With MCN's consent, the preferred securities are redeemable at the option of MCN Financing, in whole or in part, on or after July 2001. In addition, upon final maturity of the debentures, MCN Financing is required to redeem the preferred securities. In the event of default, holders of the preferred securities will be entitled to exercise and enforce MCN Financing's creditor rights against MCN, which may include acceleration of the principal amount due on the debentures. MCN has issued a guarantee with respect to the preferred securities, and when taken together with MCN's obligations under the debentures, the related indenture, and the trust documents, provides a full and unconditional guarantee of MCN Financing's obligations under the TOPrS. 4. LINES OF CREDIT As discussed in MCN's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K, MichCon and MCNIC maintain credit lines that allow for borrowings of up to $200,000,000 under 364 day revolving credit facilities and up to $450,000,000 under three year revolving credit facilities. These credit lines totaling $650,000,000 support their commercial paper programs. Commercial paper of $136,066,000 was outstanding as of June 30, 1996, of which $75,416,000 is classified as short- term. In July 1996, the 364 day revolving credit facilities were renewed. 14 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On June 21, 1996, MCN completed the sale of its computer operations subsidiary, The Genix Group, Inc. (Genix), to Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (ACS) for $137,500,000. Accordingly, Genix's results of operations after June 21, 1996 are not reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The selling price of Genix could be adjusted downward by as much as $45,000,000 depending upon the occurrence of certain contingencies, which include, among other things, adjustments arising from changes in net assets acquired, retention of certain customers for one to two years and tax-related matters. The sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $36,176,000.

GAS IN INVENTORY Inventory gas is priced on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis. In anticipation that interim inventory reductions will be replaced prior to year end, the cost of gas for net withdrawals from inventory is generally recorded at the estimated average purchase rate for the calendar year. The excess of these charges over the LIFO cost is credited to the gas inventory equalization account. During interim periods when there are net injections to inventory, the equalization account is reversed. Approximately 49.7 billion cubic feet (Bcf) and 70.0 Bcf of gas was in inventory at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 7. ACCOUNTING FOR COMMODITY SWAP AGREEMENTS As discussed in MCN's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K, MCN manages commodity price risk through the use of various derivative instruments and limits the use of such instruments to hedging activities. If MCN did not use derivative instruments, its exposure to such risk would be higher. Although this strategy reduces risk, it also limits potential gains from favorable changes in commodity prices. Natural gas and oil swap agreements are used to manage exposure to the risk of market price fluctuations on gas sale contracts, and gas and oil production. Market value changes of swap contracts are recorded as deferred gains or losses until the hedged transactions are completed, at which time the realized gains or losses are included as adjustments to revenues. The offsets to the unrealized losses are recorded as deferred payables and the offsets to the unrealized gains are recorded as deferred receivables. The following assets and liabilities related to the use of gas and oil swap agreements are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position: JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, --------------------- ------------ (in Thousands) 1996 1995 1995 ---------- ---------- ---------- DEFERRED SWAP LOSSES AND RECEIVABLES Unrealized losses........................... $ 17,734 $ 26,666 $ 18,084 Deferred receivables........................ 17,871 10,621 37,345 ---------- ---------- ---------- 35,605 37,287 55,429 Less -- Current portion..................... -- -- 622 ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 35,605 $ 37,287 $ 54,807 ========== ========== ========== DEFERRED SWAP GAINS AND PAYABLES Unrealized gains............................ $ 15,394 $ 6,732 $ 35,514 Deferred payables........................... 25,575 36,429 25,532 ---------- ---------- ---------- 40,969 43,161 61,046 Less -- Current portion...................... 5,252 14,685 9,123 ---------- ---------- ---------- $ 35,717 $ 28,476 $ 51,923 ========== ========== ========== 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES A. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS As discussed in MCN's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K, MCN accrued an additional environmental remediation liability and corresponding regulatory asset of $35,000,000 in the fourth quarter of 1995. MCN has notified current and former insurance carriers of the environmental conditions and is pursuing its claims against these carriers. In 1996, MCN received payments from certain insurance carriers and expects additional insurance recoveries over the next several years. At June 30, 1996, the reserve balance is approximately $38,300,000, of which $3,300,000 is classified as current. 16 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) B. GUARANTIES MCN has issued guaranties and comfort letters, expiring at various dates through 2010, in conjunction with Genix entering into certain operating leases for computer equipment and facilities. The lease agreements do not allow MCN to transfer its obligations under the commitments to ACS, who acquired Genix in June 1996 (Note 5). However, ACS is obligated to reimburse MCN for any payments made as a result of these commitments. These guaranties and comfort letters totaled approximately $36,000,000 at June 30, 1996. C. OTHER MCN is involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings before various courts and governmental agencies concerning claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management cannot predict the final disposition of such proceedings, but believes that adequate provision has been made for probable losses. It is management's belief, after discussion with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of those proceedings still pending will not have a material adverse effect on MCN's financial statements. 9. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" in October 1995. The statement requires certain disclosures about stock-based employee compensation and encourages, but does not require, a fair-value-based method of accounting for such compensation. MCN is currently evaluating whether to adopt the fair-value-based method of accounting and its impacts. 10. CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Debt securities issued by MCNIC are subject to a support agreement between MCN and MCNIC, under which MCN has committed to make payments of interest and principal on MCNIC's securities in the event of failure to pay by MCNIC. Under the terms of the support agreement, the assets of MCN, other than MichCon, and any cash dividends paid to MCN by any of its subsidiaries are available as recourse to holders of MCNIC's securities. The carrying value of MCN's assets on an unconsolidated basis, primarily investments in its subsidiaries other than MichCon, is $315,388,000 at June 30, 1996. The following MCN consolidating financial statements are presented and include separately MCNIC, MichCon and MCN and other subsidiaries. MCN has determined that separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning MCNIC are not material to investors. The other MCN subsidiaries represent Citizens Gas Fuel Company, Blue Lake Holdings, Inc. and MCN Michigan Limited Partnership. 17 MCN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) CONSOLIDATING STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (UNAUDITED) (IN THOUSANDS) MCN AND ELIMINATIONS OTHER AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES MCNIC MICHCON RECLASSIFICATIONS TOTALS ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------------- ------------ JUNE 30, 1996 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSETS CURRENT ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents, at cost.. $ 33 $ 48,939 $ 8,866 $ -- $ 57,838 Accounts receivable.... 3,269 105,528 211,071 (6,037) 313,831 Less -- Allowance for doubtful accounts..... 74 430 18,222 -- 18,726 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Accounts receivable, net................... 3,195 105,098 192,849 (6,037) 295,105 Accrued unbilled revenue............... 138 -- 16,554 -- 16,692 Accrued gas cost recovery revenues..... -- -- 42,026 -- 42,026 Gas in inventory....... -- 2,794 25,238 1 28,033 Property taxes assessed applicable to future periods............... 78 1,321 35,176 -- 36,575 Gas receivable......... -- 15,468 9,065 -- 24,533 Other.................. 1,836 2,068 24,618 (2,057) 26,465 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 5,280 175,688 354,392 (8,093) 527,267 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ DEFERRED CHARGES AND OTHER ASSETS Investments in and advances to joint ventures and subsidiaries.......... 875,107 109,373 20,377 (866,602) 138,255 Deferred swap losses and receivables....... -- 35,605 -- -- 35,605 Deferred postretirement benefit costs......... 717 -- 9,342 1 10,060 Deferred environmental costs................. 3,000 -- 28,016 -- 31,016 Prepaid benefit costs.. -- -- 50,640 (4,681) 45,959 Other.................. 8,940 37,679 48,341 1,367 96,327 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 887,764 182,657 156,716 (869,915) 357,222 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, at cost..... 28,881 821,262 2,540,829 (1) 3,390,971 Less -- Accumulated depreciation and depletion............. 10,051 56,960 1,199,871 -- 1,266,882 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ 18,830 764,302 1,340,958 (1) 2,124,089 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ $ 911,874 $ 1,122,647 $ 1,852,066 $ (878,009) $ 3,008,578 ============ ============ ============ ============ ============ LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY CURRENT LIABILITIES Accounts payable....... $ 6,405 $ 96,387 $ 94,102 $ (4,600) $ 192,294 Notes payable.......... -- 19,000 58,291 -- 77,291 Current portion of long-term debt, capital lease obligations and redeemable cumulative preferred securities.. 55 31,409 53,177 1 84,642 Gas inventory equalization.......... -- 660 53,295 -- 53,955 Federal income, property and other taxes payable.........
