This presentation contains "forward-looking statements" as defined in Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and relevant legal decisions. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. They should be read in conjunction with "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION" and "RISK FACTORS" sections of CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31 and as updated in subsequent 10-Qs. CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION" and "RISK FACTORS" sections are incorporated herein by reference and discuss important factors that could cause CMS Energy's and Consumers Energy's results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The presentation also includes non-GAAP measures when describing CMS Energy's results of operations and financial performance. A reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the appendix and posted on our website at www.cmsenergy.com. CMS Energy expects 2010 reported earnings to be about the same as adjusted earnings. Reported earnings could vary because of several factors. CMS Energy is not providing reported earnings guidance reconciliation because of the uncertainties associated with those factors.

  ELECTRIC RATE CASE U-16191*
On January 22, 2010, Consumers Energy filed an application with the Michigan Public Service Commission seeking an increase in its electric generation and distribution rates based on a June 2011 test year. The request seeks authority to recover new investment in system reliability, environmental compliance and technology enhancements. These investments are part of the Company’s Growing Forward strategy which calls for investing more than $6 billion in utility operations over the next five years. The proposed overall rate of return is based on an 11.0% authorized return on equity. If approved, the request would increase customer rates by an average of 5.2%. The $178 million request is detailed below.

  GAS RATE CASE U-15986*
On May 17, 2010, the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) issued its final order in Consumers Energy’s Gas Rate Case U-15986, authorizing Consumers to increase its base gas rates by $66 million annually with an authorized ROE of 10.55%. The MPSC approved a sales decoupling mechanism, but did not approve trackers for uncollectibles expense or pension and OPEB expenses. On November 19, 2009, the Company self implemented an $89 million annual rate increase. As a result of the final order, the $23 million annual reduction will be refunded to customers later this year. Compared to rates that were implemented last November, the revenue decrease will reduce the residential class rates by 1.2%. A typical residential customer’s average monthly winter bill will be reduced by about $1 per month.
