Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Michigan Consolidated Gas Company
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position and the related consolidated statements of operations, of
cash flows and of changes in shareholder's equity and comprehensive income present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Michigan Consolidated Gas Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’ s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and for each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 2008 were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 20, 2009 expressed an
unqualified opinion on those statements and includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the adoption of new accounting standards.
