Forward-Looking Statements

Certain information presented herein includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 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.

Part I

Item 1. Business

The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC (Company), a single member limited liability company established by The Detroit Edison Company (Detroit Edison) under the laws of the state of Michigan, was formed on November 20, 2000. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Detroit Edison, an operating electric public utility that is a wholly owned subsidiary of DTE Energy Company (DTE Energy). As discussed in Item 7, Management’s Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations, the Company was organized for the sole purpose of purchasing and owning Securitization Property, issuing securitization bonds, and performing activities that are necessary to accomplish these purposes. The Company had no financial operations until February 15, 2001.

On March 9, 2001, the Company issued $1.75 billion of securitization bonds (Bonds) (Note 3) and used the net proceeds to purchase securitization property from Detroit Edison.

Item 2. Properties

Securitization Property is a property right authorized by Michigan state legislation and by a financing order of the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC). The Securitization Property is stranded costs that primarily represent Detroit Edison’s unamortized investment in the 1,150 megawatt Fermi 2 nuclear power plant that was classified as a regulatory asset. The Michigan statute provided, among other things, the irrevocable right of Detroit Edison, or its successor or assignee, to impose, collect and receive a non-bypassable surcharge (SC) from customers pursuant to an order (Financing Order), issued on November 2, 2000, and clarified on January 4, 2001, by the MPSC in accordance with the June 2000 Customer Choice and Electricity Reliability Act (Act).

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 4. Submission Of Matters To A Vote Of Security Holders

Omitted per general instruction I (2) (c) of Form 10-K for wholly owned subsidiaries (reduced disclosure format).

Table of Contents

Part II

Item 5. Market For Registrant’s Member’s Equity And Related Owner Matters

The Company was formed as a single member limited liability company, solely owned by Detroit Edison for its own benefit. As such, no market exists for the member’s equity.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Omitted per general instruction I (2) (a) of Form 10-K for wholly owned subsidiaries (reduced disclosure format).

Item 7. Management’s Narrative Analysis Of Results Of Operations

The Results of Operations discussion for Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC is presented in accordance with General Instruction I(2) (a) of Form 10-K for wholly owned subsidiaries (reduced disclosure format).

As discussed in Note 1, the Company is a special purpose entity established by 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 bonds and used the net proceeds to purchase the 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 year ended December 31, 2001, the Company has recorded $143,920,000 in surcharge revenues and $824,000 in interest income. Amortization expense consists of amortization of the Securitization Property, overcollateralization fee, and over-recovery of securitization surcharge (SC). The amortization expense for the year was $56,333,000. During the year, the Company also incurred interest expense of $86,928,000, amortization of issuance costs of $482,000, servicing fees of $729,000, and administrative fees of $208,000.

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 per kilowatthour on September 1, 2001. 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. For the year ended December 31, 2001, Detroit Edison has remitted $114,675,000 of SC collections to the trustee.

Under a MPSC financing order, Detroit Edison will implement an annual adjustment to the SC to provide sufficient funds for timely payments related to the Bonds. On February 6, 2002, the SC was modified to $0.00392 per kilowatthour effective March 1, 2002.

Table of Contents

Item 7A. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company estimates that if interest rates were 10% higher or lower, the fair value of long-term debt at December 31, 2001 would decrease $84 million and increase $53 million, respectively.

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC (Company), a single member limited liability company established by The Detroit Edison Company (Detroit Edison) under the laws of the state of Michigan, was formed on November 20, 2000. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Detroit Edison, an operating electric public utility that is a wholly owned subsidiary of DTE Energy Company (DTE Energy). The Company was organized for the sole purpose of purchasing and owning securitization property, issuing securitization bonds, and performing activities that are necessary to accomplish these purposes. The Company had no financial operations until February 15, 2001.

The Company is a special purpose entity established by 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 by Detroit Edison. Securitization Property is a property right authorized by Michigan state legislation and by a financing order of the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC). The Michigan statute provided, among other things, the irrevocable right of Detroit Edison, or its successor or assignee, to impose, collect and receive a non-bypassable surcharge (SC) from customers pursuant to an order (Financing Order), issued on November 2, 2000, and clarified on January 4, 2001, by the MPSC in accordance with the June 2000 Customer Choice and Electricity Reliability Act (Act). The financing order also includes the right to obtain periodic adjustments of SC. The MPSC Financing Order authorizes the SC to be sufficient to recover up to $1.774 billion aggregate principal amount of bonds, plus an amount sufficient to fund any reserves and to pay interest, servicing fees and other administrative expenses relating to the bonds.

On March 9, 2001, the Company issued $1.75 billion of securitization bonds (Bonds) and used the net proceeds to purchase the Securitization Property from Detroit Edison.

The principal amount of the Bonds, interest, fees, and required overcollateralization for the Bonds will be recovered through the SC payable by electric customers taking delivery of electricity from Detroit Edison on its MPSC approved rate schedules and special contracts.

Detroit Edison, as Servicer, collects the SC from its customers and deposits daily collections into various subaccounts held by The Bank of New York, as trustee (Trustee). The Trustee is required to use these funds to make principal and interest payments on the Bonds and to pay fees and expenses specified in the Indenture for the Bonds.

The Company has no employees. Under a Servicing Agreement, Detroit Edison is required to manage and administer the Securitization Property. Detroit Edison collects the SC on behalf of the Company. Detroit Edison receives an annual servicing fee of 0.05% of the initial principal amount of the Bonds. The Servicing Agreement also requires Detroit Edison to file requests with the MPSC for annual adjustments to the SC. These adjustments are based on actual SC collections and updated assumptions by Detroit Edison of estimated delivery of electricity, expected delinquencies and write-offs, and future expenses relating to the Securitization Property and the Bonds.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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.

Regulation and Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s business meets the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71, “Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation.” This accounting standard recognizes the cost-based rate-making process, which results in differences in the application of generally accepted accounting principles between regulated and non-regulated businesses. Continued applicability of SFAS No. 71 requires that rates be designed to recover specific costs of providing regulated services and be charged to and collected from customers. The Company believes that currently available facts support the continued application of SFAS No. 71 to its business.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes $67.36 million in the General Subaccount and $0.48 million in the Capital Subaccount. The Trustee has established the following subaccounts for the Bonds:

General Subaccount is comprised of daily SC collections and interest earned from short-term investments. These amounts accumulate until the Trustee pays principal, interest, service and administration fees, and other expenses.

Reserve Subaccount consists of funds remaining after required allocations on the scheduled semi-annual payment dates. The Trustee may draw funds from this subaccount if the general subaccount is insufficient to make scheduled payments.

Overcollateralization Subaccount accumulates a mandatory reserve amount. This account is funded over the life of the Bonds. The Trustee may draw from this subaccount if the general subaccount and reserve subaccount are insufficient to service required payments.

Capital Subaccount was initially funded by a contribution to the Company by Detroit Edison on the date of issuance of the Bonds in an amount equal to 0.5% of the initial principal amount of the Bonds. This subaccount will be released at Bond retirement. The Trustee can draw funds from this subaccount if the general subaccount, reserve subaccount and overcollateralization subaccount are insufficient to service bond payments. If the Capital Subaccount is used, it will be replenished from SC remittances.

12


Table of Contents

The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC
Notes To Financial Statements

Unamortized Bond Issuance Costs

The costs related to the issuance of the Bonds are amortized over the life of the Bonds utilizing the effective interest method.

Revenue

On March 26, 2001, Detroit Edison, as Servicer, implemented a non-bypassable SC of $0.0032 per kilowatthour, which was modified to $0.0041 per kilowatthour on September 1, 2001. The Company also accrues SC revenue for electric services provided by Detroit Edison but unbilled at month-end.

Amortization

The Securitization Property was recorded at acquired cost and is being amortized over the life of the Bonds, based on estimated SC revenues, interest accruals and other expenses. The Act limits the Bond life to no greater than 15 years.

In accordance with SFAS No. 71, amortization is adjusted for over/under recovery of SC resulting from differences between estimated and actual electricity delivery and is shown as a regulatory liability on the statement of financial position.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a division of Detroit Edison, and is not a separate taxable entity. As a result, Detroit Edison is responsible for the tax impacts of the Company.

NOTE 3 — LONG-TERM DEBT

In March 2001, the Company issued $1.75 billion of Bonds at an average interest rate of 6.13%. The Company used the proceeds from the Bonds to purchase Securitization Property from Detroit Edison. The Securitization Property of the Company has been assigned to the Trustee to collateralize the Bonds.

EX-99.16 6 k68275ex99-16.txt MPSC ORDER DATED FEBRUARY 6, 2002 EXHIBIT 99.16 STATEOFMICHIGAN BEFORE THE MICHIGAN PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION * * * * * In the matter of the application of ) THE DETROIT EDISON COMPANY ) Case No. U-12478 for a financing order. ) ) At the February 6, 2002 meeting of the Michigan Public Service Commission in Lansing, Michigan. PRESENT: Hon. Laura Chappelle, Chairman Hon. David A. Svanda, Commissioner Hon. Robert B. Nelson, Commissioner OPINION AND ORDER In the November 2, 2000 order, the Commission authorized The Detroit Edison Company (Detroit Edison) to securitize up to $1,774,202,000 of regulatory assets and other qualified costs. Among other issues addressed by the order, the Commission concluded that there must be periodic true-ups of the securitization bond and tax charges to ensure that the amounts collected are sufficient to service the securitization bonds and to recover the associated tax liability. The Commission stated: The record clearly shows that not only are periodic securitization and tax charge true-ups necessary, but (to provide the certainty needed to obtain a AAA bond rating) they need to be undertaken in a way that allows for their swift and certain resolution. For this reason, the Commission finds that Detroit Edison's proposal for a true-up mechanism should be approved, but with two relatively minor changes. First, the utility as servicer should be limited to undertaking no more than one routine true-up per year until 12 months prior to the last expected maturity date of the securitization bonds. . Second, Detroit Edison, in its role as servicer of the securitization bonds, should initiate each routine true-up pursuant to Section 10k(3) of Act 142 [MCL 460.10k(3)] by filing a request for adjustment that (1) explains how its.Page 2 U-12478 proposed revision of the securitization and tax charges will ensure the expected recovery of amounts sufficient to timely provide all payments of debt service and other required amounts and charges in connection with the securitization bonds, (2) shows the computation of the proposed adjustments to the securitization charge and the tax charge currently in place, and (3) seeks Commission review and approval--on an expedited basis--of the arithmetic computations contained in the proposed adjustments before they can be implemented. All reviews conducted by the Commission of the computations shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 10k(3) of Act 142 for a true-up mechanism. This review must be completed regarding the servicer's request for adjustments to the securitization charge and the tax charge pursuant to a routine true-up within 45 days after Detroit Edison as servicer files its request for an adjustment. The determination of the Commission in response to a request for adjustment shall be provided by the Commission to the servicer within the aforementioned 45-day period. The adjustments by the Commission will be to the securitization charge and the tax charge in effect prior to the filing of the request for adjustment and those charges shall remain in place until the adjustments have become effective and are being billed to customers. November 2, 2000 order, Case No. U-12478, pp. 37-38 (footnote omitted). On January 15, 2002, Detroit Edison filed its first annual routine true-up adjustment report. Detroit Edison requests a decrease in its bond principal and interest securitization surcharge from 4.1 mills per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to 3.92 mills per kWh for the period March 1, 2002 through February 28, 2003. It requests an increase in the tax surcharge for the same period from 0.6 mills per kWh to 0.97 mills per kWh. The tax surcharge increase results primarily from a significantly larger amount of principal being paid down in the second year. The Commission Staff (Staff) reviewed the proposed adjustments, and concluded that the adjustments are routine, the calculations are accurate, and the proposed adjustments conform to the methodology approved by the Commission. The Staff thus recommended that the Commission approve the true-up adjustments to take effect on March 1, 2002. After considering Detroit Edison's filing and the Staff's review, the Commission agrees that the proposed adjustments are routine, the calculations are accurate, and the proposed Page 2 U-12478 adjustments conform to the approved methodology. Detroit Edison should therefore be authorized to implement the adjustments as of March 1, 2002. The Commission FINDS that: a. Jurisdiction is pursuant to 1909 PA 106, as amended, MCL 460.551 et seq.; 1919 PA 419, as amended, MCL 460.51 et seq.; 1939 PA 3, as amended, MCL 460.1 et seq.; 1969 PA 306, as amended, MCL 24.201 et seq.; and the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, as amended, 1992 AACS, R 460.17101 et seq. b. Detroit Edison should be authorized to implement its proposed true-up adjustments. THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that, as of March 1, 2002, The Detroit Edison Company is authorized to decrease the bond principal and interest securitization surcharge from 4.1 mills per kilowatt-hour to 3.92 mills per kilowatt-hour and to increase the tax surcharge from 0.6 mills per kilowatt-hour to 0.97 mills per kilowatt-hour. The Commission reserves jurisdiction and may issue further orders as necessary. Page 3 U-12478 Any party desiring to appeal this order must do so in the appropriate court within 30 days after issuance and notice of this order, pursuant to MCL 462.26.
