DTE Energy Company (the Company) has an Enterprise Business Systems initiative to improve
existing processes and has implemented a suite of new core information systems across the
enterprise in 2007, including new general ledger and work management systems. The implementation
of the new systems and the resulting changes in internal control over financial reporting have
required additional time to complete necessary accounting work and review and analysis relating to
the preparation of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result, we are not able to
complete the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 on or
before the filing deadline with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008 without
unreasonable effort or expense.
