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 Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC’s (“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 to 15 years pursuant to a Michigan statute. In addition, collections are dependent on the level of The Detroit Edison Company (“Detroit Edison”) electric deliveries to customers.

MANAGEMENT’S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Results of Operations discussion for the Company is presented in accordance with General Instruction H(2) (a) of Form 10-Q.

The Company is a special purpose entity established by Detroit Edison to recover certain qualified costs, called Securitization Property by Michigan statute. The qualified 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 securitization bonds and used the net proceeds to purchase the Securitization Property from Detroit Edison. The Company receives surcharge 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2005, the Company earned $46,674,000 in surcharge revenues and $342,000 in interest income compared to $44,560,000 in surcharge revenues and $155,000 in interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. The increase in surcharge revenues is due to changes in surcharge rates, partially offset by lower electric sales by Detroit Edison. Amortization expense consists of amortization of the Securitization Property, overcollateralization fee, and over-recovery of securitization surcharge. The amortization expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was $23,075,000 and $19,602,000, respectively. A portion of the increase in amortization expense reflects the adjustment needed to have revenues and interest income equal expenses. The higher amount was primarily attributable to the decrease in interest expense. The higher amortization amount is primarily attributable to the increase in bond amortization and surcharge revenues, partially offset by decrease in interest expense. During the 2005 three-month period, the Company also incurred interest expense of $23,194,000 amortization of debt issuance costs of $422,000, servicing fees of $219,000, and administrative fees of $62,000 compared to interest expense of $24,433,000, amortization of debt issuance costs of $389,000, servicing fees of $219,000, and administrative fees of $62,000 for the 2004 three-month period.

Detroit Edison, as Servicer, collects a surcharge from its customers for the benefit of the Company and the Securitization Bondholders. The surcharge is adjusted annually to provide sufficient funds for timely payments related to the securitization bonds. This surcharge rate was modified to $0.00388 on March 1, 2005 compared to $0.00374 that became effective March 1, 2004.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Managers of
The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed statement of financial position of The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC as of March 31, 2005, and the related condensed statements of operations, cash flows and member’s equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the statement of financial position of The Detroit Edison Securitization Funding LLC as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and member’s equity for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 15, 2005, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed statement of financial position as of December 31, 2004 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the statement of financial position from which it has been derived.
