BUSINESS (A) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS MidAmerican Energy Company (MidAmerican or the Company), an Iowa corporation, was formed on July 1, 1995, through the merger of Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company (Iowa-Illinois), Midwest Resources Inc. (Midwest Resources) and Midwest Power Systems Inc. (Midwest). The merger was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. MidAmerican is primarily engaged in the business of generating, transmitting, distributing and selling electric energy and distributing, selling and transporting natural gas. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: InterCoast Energy Company (InterCoast) and Midwest Capital Group, Inc. (Midwest Capital). InterCoast engages in nonregulated energy-related businesses. Midwest Capital conducts economic development activities in the Company's service territory. Prior to the merger, Iowa-Illinois was engaged in business activities similar to those of MidAmerican. InterCoast was a wholly owned subsidiary of Iowa-Illinois. Midwest Resources was an exempt public utility holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries: Midwest and Midwest Capital. Midwest was engaged in utility activities similar to those of MidAmerican and Midwest Capital was engaged in nonregulated business activities. In January 1996, the Company's board of directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Exchange related to the formation of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company (Holdings), a holding company. Holdings will have three wholly owned subsidiaries, MidAmerican (utility operations), Midwest Capital and InterCoast. Consummation of the holding company structure is subject to approval by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, certain orders must be received from the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC), the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Subject to the receipt of such orders, each share of MidAmerican common stock will be exchanged for one share of Holdings common stock. It is management's intent, if possible, to complete the formation of the holding company and share exchange by the end of 1996. (B) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS Financial information on the Company's segments of business is included under the Note "Segment Information" on page 35 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1995, which page is incorporated herein by reference. (C) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS GENERAL The Company distributes electric energy in Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Iowa City, Sioux City and Waterloo, Iowa, the Quad-Cities (Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa and Rock Island, Moline and East Moline, Illinois) and a number of adjacent communities and areas. The Company distributes natural gas in Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Iowa City, Sioux City and Waterloo, Iowa; the Quad-Cities; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and a number of adjacent communities and areas. 4 MidAmerican's electric and gas operations are conducted under franchises, certificates, permits and licenses obtained from state and local authorities. The franchises, with various expiration dates, are typically for 25-year terms. The population of the Company's utility service territory is approximately 1.7 million. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 635,000 retail electric customers and 601,000 natural gas customers. The Company has a residential, agricultural, commercial and diversified industrial customer group, in which no single industry or customer accounted for more than 3.5% (food and kindred products industry) of the Company's total 1995 electric operating revenues or 3.6% (food and kindred products industry) of its total 1995 gas operating margin. Among the primary industries served by the Company are those which are concerned with the manufacturing, processing and fabrication of primary metals, real estate, food products, farm and other non- electrical machinery, and cement and gypsum products. For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company derived approximately 64% of its gross operating revenues from its electric business and 27% from its gas business. For 1994 and 1993, the corresponding percentages were 60% electric and 29% gas, and 60% electric and 32% gas, respectively. Historical electric sales by customer class as a percent of total electric sales and retail electric sales data by state as a percent of total retail sales are shown below: TOTAL ELECTRIC SALES BY CUSTOMER CLASS 1995 1994 1993 ----------- ----------- ----------- Residential.................................................. 23.2% 24.7% 22.7% Small General Service........................................ 19.1 22.3 19.9 Large General Service........................................ 26.1 28.0 24.5 Other........................................................ 4.7 5.2 4.7 Sales for Resale............................................. 26.9 19.8 28.2 ----- ----- ----- Total.................................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- RETAIL ELECTRIC SALES BY STATE 1995 1994 1993 ----------- ----------- ----------- Iowa......................................................... 89.5% 88.6% 88.7% Illinois..................................................... 9.9 10.9 10.9 South Dakota................................................. 0.6 0.5 0.4 ----- ----- ----- Total.................................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 5 Historical gas sales, excluding transportation throughput, by customer class as a percent of total gas sales and by state as a percent of total retail gas sales are shown below: TOTAL GAS SALES BY CUSTOMER CLASS 1995 1994 1993 ----------- ----------- ----------- Residential.................................................. 57.3% 55.3% 55.6% Small General Service........................................ 32.9 33.0 31.6 Large General Service........................................ 6.2 8.4 8.9 Sales for Resale and Other................................... 3.6 3.3 3.9 ----- ----- ----- Total.................................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- RETAIL GAS SALES BY STATE 1995 1994 1993 ----------- ----------- ----------- Iowa......................................................... 78.0% 76.6% 74.5% Illinois..................................................... 10.7 11.9 11.4 South Dakota................................................. 10.6 10.8 5.4 Other........................................................ 0.7 0.7 8.7 ----- ----- ----- Total.................................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- There are seasonal variations in the Company's electric and gas businesses which are principally related to the use of energy for air conditioning and heating. In 1995, 40.3% of the Company's electric revenues were reported in the months of June, July, August and September, reflecting the use of electricity for cooling, and 50.3% of the Company's gas revenues were reported in the months of January, February, March and December, reflecting the use of gas for heating. At December 31, 1995, the Company had 3,602 full-time employees, of which 3,331 were employed in utility operations and 271 were employed by the Company's nonregulated subsidiaries. InterCoast and its subsidiaries manage the nonregulated businesses of the Company. The nonregulated businesses include oil and gas production, financial investments, leasing activities, energy services and railcar leasing and management. Midwest Capital and its subsidiaries manage the Company's economic development investments. The economic development investments are primarily real estate. RATE MATTERS Under Iowa law, temporary collection of higher rates can begin (subject to refund) 90 days after filing with the IUB for that portion of such higher rates approved by the IUB based on prior ratemaking principles and a rate of return on common equity previously approved. If the IUB has not issued a final order within ten months after the filing date, the temporary rates cease to be subject to refund and any balance of the requested rate increase may then be collected subject to refund. Exceptions to the ten month limitation are provided for extensions due 6 to a utility's lack of due diligence in the rate proceeding, judicial appeals and situations involving new generating units being placed in service. Under Illinois law, new rates may be put into effect by the Company 45 days after filing with the ICC, or on such earlier date as the ICC may approve, subject to the power of the ICC to suspend the proposed new rates for a period not to exceed eleven months after filing, pending a hearing. South Dakota law authorizes the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission (SDPUC) to suspend new rates for up to six months during the pendency of rate proceedings; however, the rates are permitted to be implemented after six months subject to refund pending a final order in the proceeding. Additional information on the Company's current rate proceedings is included under the Note "Rate Matters" on page 34 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1995, which page is incorporated herein by reference. In April 1992, the FERC issued Order No. 636, directing a restructuring by interstate pipeline companies for their natural gas sales and transportation services. The FERC Order contemplated that transitional gas supply realignment costs related to this restructuring may be billed by interstate pipelines to their customers. At December 31, 1995, a regulatory asset of $40.8 million, with an offsetting non-current Other Liability, had been recorded. In addition, the Company estimates it may incur other future billings of approximately $15.8 million related to such restructuring. The Company is currently recovering such costs through rates. The Company has established an external trust for the investment of funds collected for nuclear decommissioning associated with Quad-Cities Nuclear Station (Quad-Cities Station) of which the Company is a 25% owner. The owner and operator of Cooper Nuclear Station (Cooper), from which the Company purchases 50% of the output pursuant to a long-term agreement, maintains a decommissioning fund into which the Company makes contributions as a component of its power purchase payments. Electric tariffs in effect for 1995 include provisions for annual decommissioning costs at Quad-Cities Station and Cooper of approximately $17.5 million. In Illinois, nuclear decommissioning costs are included in customer billings through a mechanism that permits annual adjustments. In Iowa, such costs are reflected in base rates. The Company's Iowa electric tariffs contain a Uniform Electric Energy Adjustment Clause under which the Company's billings reflect changes in the cost of all fuels used for electric generation, including nuclear fuel disposition costs, as well as the net effect of energy transactions (other than capacity) with other utilities. Changes in the cost of gas to the Company are reflected in its Iowa gas rates through the Iowa Uniform Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause. Under Illinois electric tariffs, the Company's Fuel Cost Adjustment Clause reflects changes in the cost of all fuels used for electric generation, including allowable fuel transportation costs, nuclear fuel disposition costs and the effects of energy transactions (other than capacity and margins on interchange sales) with other utilities. Changes in the cost of gas to the Company are reflected in its Illinois gas rates through the Illinois Uniform Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause. ELECTRIC OPERATIONS The annual hourly peak demand occurs principally as a result of air conditioning use during the cooling season. MidAmerican's highest hourly peak demand in 1995 was 3,553 megawatts (MW), which was 269 MW more than the combined hourly peak of the predecessor companies. 7 MidAmerican is interconnected with certain Iowa and neighboring utilities and is one of 29 utilities involved in an electric power pooling agreement known as the Mid-Continent Area Power Pool (MAPP). The purpose of MAPP is to coordinate the planning, construction and operation of generation and transmission facilities, including the purchase and sale of power and energy among members. In October 1992, the National Energy Policy Act (NEPA) was signed into law. NEPA allows all electric generators, whether subject to utility regulation or not, to transport wholesale power across utilities' transmission facilities and is intended to promote competition in the wholesale electric market. The FERC has also developed, and is in the process of developing, policies to encourage open-access to utilities' transmission facilities. These policies include pricing, good faith requests and responses for transmission services and recovery of stranded costs by public and transmitting utilities. In addition, the IUB has initiated a formal inquiry proceeding entitled: "Emerging Competition in the Electric Utility Industry." The Company is participating in these various proceedings, as appropriate, in an attempt to assist in the development of public policy in these areas. The Company has and will continue to evaluate the impact on MidAmerican of policy decisions that result from these proceedings. Additional information on anticipated changes in the utility industry is included in the "Operating Activities" section of Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) on pages 18 and 19 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1995 which pages are incorporated herein by reference. The Company's accredited 1995 summer net generating capacity was 4,384 megawatts. The net generating capacity at any time may be less due to regulatory restrictions, fuel restrictions and generating units being temporarily out of service for inspection, maintenance, refueling or modifications. FUEL SUPPLY FOR ELECTRIC OPERATIONS The Company's sources of fuel for electric generation have been as follows for the periods shown: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 ----------- ----------- ----------- Fuel Source: Coal....................................................... 77.6% 83.4% 77.8% Nuclear.................................................... 21.6 15.7 21.5 Gas........................................................ 0.7 0.7 0.7 Oil........................................................ 0.1 0.2 -- ----- ----- ----- Total.................................................... 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- The average costs of fuels received (including transportation and handling costs) in cents per million BTU's consumed have been as follows for the periods shown: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 ----------- ----------- ----------- Fuel Source: Nuclear................................................ 44.19 47.08 47.72 Coal................................................... 95.14 95.90 97.12 Gas.................................................... 226.92 297.08 303.21 Oil.................................................... 422.80 422.13 438.68 Total Weighted Average................................... 90.21 90.96 88.99 8 The average cost of coal received (including transportation) per ton for the years 1995, 1994 and 1993 has been $15.61, $15.67 and $15.91, respectively. MidAmerican has contracts with rail shippers providing for the delivery of coal to its generating stations. In addition, the Company has used spot market purchases of coal to effectively manage inventory levels and take advantage of near-term coal market opportunities. The Company is continuing to satisfy its coal requirements with a combination of contract and spot purchases. The Company believes its sources of coal for its fossil-fueled generating stations are and will continue to be satisfactory. Renewal of expiring contracts and negotiations of new agreements will be pursued as required. Natural gas and oil are used for peak demand electric generation and for standby purposes. These sources are presently in adequate supply and available to meet the Company's needs. The Company is a 25% joint owner of Quad-Cities Station. The Company has been advised by Commonwealth Edison (ComEd), the joint owner and operator of Quad-Cities Station, that the majority of its uranium concentrate and uranium conversion requirements for Quad-Cities Station for 1996 can be met under existing supplies or commitments. ComEd foresees no problem in obtaining the remaining requirements now or obtaining future requirements. ComEd further advises that all enrichment requirements have been contracted through 1999. Commitments for fuel fabrication have been obtained at least through 2000. ComEd does not anticipate that it will have any difficulty in contracting for uranium concentrates for conversion, enrichment or fabrication of nuclear fuel needed to operate Quad-Cities Station. The Company purchases one-half of the power and energy of Cooper through a long-term power purchase contract with Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). Approximately 30% of the fuel in the core at Cooper must be replaced every 18 months. The next refueling cycle is currently scheduled to begin in March of 1997. NPPD has informed the Company that it either has sufficient materials and services available to meet foreseeable Cooper requirements or that such materials and services are readily available from suppliers. Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA), the Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for the selection and development of repositories for, and the permanent disposal of, spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive wastes. ComEd and NPPD, as required by the NWPA, have signed a contract with the DOE to provide for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste beginning not later than January 1998. The DOE has stated, however, that the delivery schedule for spent nuclear fuel may be delayed, and it is expected that it will be significantly delayed. The costs incurred by the DOE for disposal activities will be financed by fees charged to owners and generators of the waste. ComEd has informed the Company that there is on-site storage capability at the Quad-Cities Station sufficient to permit such interim storage at least through 2007. NPPD has informed the Company that there is on-site storage capability at the Cooper Station sufficient to permit such interim storage at least through 2004, the remaining term of the long-term power purchase contract. Meeting spent nuclear fuel storage requirements beyond such time could require modifications to the spent fuel storage pools or new and separate storage facilities, the costs of which have not been determined at this time. Industry activities are underway to utilize dry casks for the interim storage of high-level radioactive waste. This may provide an alternative for interim on-site storage of such waste. NATURAL GAS OPERATIONS MidAmerican is engaged in the procurement, transportation, and distribution of natural gas for utility and end-use customers in the Midwest. With the implementation in 1993 of FERC Order 636 and related orders (Order 636 or Orders), MidAmerican began operating in a more competitive environment. MidAmerican now has complete responsibility for natural gas procurement, transportation and storage, a responsibility which had 9 previously resided with the interstate pipeline suppliers. These Orders directly impact the operations, revenues and costs of local distribution companies (LDCs), including MidAmerican, and create new opportunities. The Company has firm rights to pipeline capacity to transport gas from the production area to its service territory. With the restructuring of the industry, if the Company does not need the capacity (due to fluctuations in anticipated system demand), it can "sublease" such capacity to other companies. To provide incentives for the achievement of optimum use of available transportation capacity, an IUB ruling allows the Company to retain 30% of Iowa revenues earned on the "subleased" capacity and returns 70% to customers through the purchased gas adjustment. Information on the impact of FERC Order 636 is included in the "Operating Activities" section of MD&A on page 19 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1995, which page is incorporated herein by reference. FUEL SUPPLY AND CAPACITY The Company purchases the majority of its gas supplies from producers or third party marketers and transports the gas on a firm or interruptible basis through the Northern Natural Gas (NNG), Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (NGPL) and ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) systems. To insure system reliability, a geographically diverse supply portfolio with varying terms and conditions is utilized for the gas supplies. The Company utilizes leased gas storage to meet peak day requirements and to manage the daily changes in demand due to changes in weather. The storage gas is replaced during the summer months. In addition, the company also utilizes three liquefied natural gas plants and five propane-air peak shaving plants to meet peak day demands. On February 2, 1996, the Company had an estimated new peak-day delivery of 1,140 million cubic feet. This peak-day delivery included approximately 88% from traditional sales service customers and 12% from customer owned gas transported through the Company's system. The supply sources utilized by the Company to meet its peak-day deliveries to its sales service customers were: MILLIONS OF CUBIC PERCENT OF FEET TOTAL --------- ----------- Underground Storage................................................. 349.4 34.7 Firm Supply......................................................... 485.3 48.2 LNG Facilities...................................................... 116.5 11.6 LP Facilities....................................................... 56.2 5.5 --------- ----- Total........................................................... 1,007.4 100.0 --------- ----- --------- ----- The Company does not anticipate any difficulties in meeting its future demands through the use of its supply portfolio and pipeline interconnections for the foreseeable future. 10 CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM The table below shows actual utility capital expenditures for 1995 and budgeted utility expenditures for 1996 and for the period 1997 - 2000. 1996 1997-2000 1995 ACTUAL BUDGETED BUDGETED ----------- ----------- ----------- (THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) Electric Property Production........................................... $ 32,919 $ 28,826 $ 152,544 Transmission......................................... 15,550 25,300 96,600 Distribution......................................... 53,670 35,200 142,800 Gas.................................................... 51,310 37,585 127,972 Administration and Other............................... 23,531 13,547 40,789 ----------- ----------- ----------- Subtotal........................................... 176,980 140,458 560,705 Quad-Cities Fuel....................................... 2,293 17,300 38,300 Cooper Additions....................................... 11,498 8,574 52,656 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total.............................................. $ 190,771 $ 166,332 $ 651,661 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- The amounts shown above include allowance for funds used during construction. Of the $181.4 million of budgeted electric production expenditures for the 1996-2000 period, $37.6 million are for expenditures at the Quad-Cities Station. Also included in the amounts above, are capital expenditures required to maintain compliance with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA). See Environmental Regulations. In addition to the amounts shown above, the Company also expects to contribute a total of approximately $45 million to an external trust for Quad-Cities nuclear decommissioning during the 1996-2000 period. GENERAL UTILITY REGULATION MidAmerican is a public utility within the meaning of the Federal Power Act and a natural gas company within the meaning of the Natural Gas Act. Therefore, it is subject to regulation by FERC, in regard to numerous activities, including the issuance of securities, accounting policies and practices, sales for resale rates, the establishment and regulation of electric interconnections and transmission services and replacement of certain gas utility property. The Company is a public utility under the laws of Illinois and is regulated by the ICC as to retail rates, services, accounts, issuance of securities, affiliate transactions, construction, acquisition and sale of utility property, acquisition and sale of securities and in other respects as provided by the laws of Illinois. The Company is also a public utility under the laws of Iowa and is regulated by the IUB as to retail rates, services, accounts, construction of utility property and in other respects as provided by the laws of Iowa. MidAmerican is also subject to regulation by the SDPUC as to electric and gas retail rates and service. Iowa law requires electric and gas utilities to spend 2.0% and 1.5%, respectively, of their annual Iowa jurisdictional revenues on energy efficiency activities, including demand-side management. Additional information on the Company's energy efficiency activities is included under the Note "Rate Matters" on page 34 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1995 which page is incorporated herein by reference. 11 NUCLEAR REGULATION The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the NRC with respect to its license and 25 percent ownership interest in the Quad Cities Station. ComEd is the operator of the Quad-Cities Station and is under contract with the Company to secure and keep in effect all necessary NRC licenses and authorizations. Under the terms of a long-term power purchase agreement, the Company has contracted to purchase one-half of the power and energy from Cooper located near Brownville, NE, through September 22, 2004. Cooper is owned and operated by the NPPD. Under the terms of the contract, NPPD is the sole NRC licensee of Cooper and is required to comply with all NRC regulations. MidAmerican is responsible for one-half of the fixed and operating costs of Cooper (excluding depreciation but including debt service) and the Company's share of fuel costs (including disposal costs) based upon energy delivered. Refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and Notes 1(i), 4(c), 4(d) and 4(e) on pages 15, 17, 27, 29 and 30 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1995 which pages are incorporated herein by reference. The Company is not subject to the jurisdiction of the NRC with respect to Cooper and the long-term power purchase contract with NPPD. NPPD, because it is the sole owner, licensee and operator of Cooper, is thereby the only entity subject to the jurisdiction of the NRC. Under the terms of the long-term power purchase contract, NPPD is required to assure that Cooper is in compliance with all the NRC regulations. The NRC regulations control the granting of permits and licenses for the construction and operation of nuclear generating stations and subject such stations to continuing review and regulation. The NRC review and regulatory process covers, among other things, operations, maintenance, and environmental and radiological aspects of such stations. The NRC may modify, suspend or revoke licenses and impose civil penalties for failure to comply with the Atomic Energy Act, the regulations under such Act or the terms of such licenses. Federal regulations provide that any operating facility may be required to cease operation if the NRC determines there are deficiencies in state, local or utility emergency preparedness plans relating to such facility and the deficiencies are not corrected. ComEd and NPPD have advised the Company that emergency preparedness plans for the Quad-Cities Station and Cooper, respectively, have been approved by the NRC. ComEd and NPPD have also advised the Company that state and local plans relating to the Quad-Cities Station and Cooper, respectively, have been approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In June 1988, the NRC adopted final regulations with respect to the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. Among other things, the regulations address the planning and funding for the eventual decommissioning of nuclear power plants. In response to these regulations, the Company submitted a report to the NRC in July 1990 indicating that it will provide "reasonable assurance" that funds will be available to pay the costs of decommissioning its share of the Quad-Cities Station, by making monthly deposits to an external trust fund. NPPD has advised the Company that a decommissioning plan for Cooper has been submitted and approved by the NRC. Monthly payments to NPPD by the Company include monies to fund decommissioning as determined by NPPD. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS The Company is subject to numerous legislative and regulatory environmental protection requirements involving air and water pollution, waste management, hazardous chemical use, noise abatement, land use aesthetics and atomic radiation. State and federal environmental laws and regulations currently have, and future modifications may have, 12 the effect of (i) increasing the lead time for the construction of new facilities, (ii) significantly increasing the total cost of new facilities, (iii) requiring modification of certain of the Company's existing facilities, (iv) increasing the risk of delay on construction projects, (v) increasing the Company's cost of waste disposal and (vi) possibly reducing the reliability of service provided by the Company and the amount of energy available from the Company's facilities. Any of such items could have a substantial impact on amounts required to be expended by the Company in the future. AIR QUALITY Essentially all utility generating units are subject to the provisions of the CAA which address continuous emission monitoring, permit requirements and fees and emission of toxic substances. The Company has five jointly owned and six wholly owned coal-fired generating stations, which represent approximately 65% of the Company's electric generating capability. Two of the Company's coal-fired generating units were subject to the requirements of the CAA beginning in 1995. These units were given a set number of allowances by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Each allowance permits the units to emit one ton of sulfur dioxide. The Company has completed most of the modifications necessary to one unit to burn low-sulfur coal and to install nitrogen oxides controls and an emissions monitoring system. Under proposed regulations, the second unit will require additional capital expenditures to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides. The Company's other coal-fired generating units are not materially affected by the provisions of the CAA. Due to the use of low-sulfur western coal, the Company does not anticipate the need for additional capital expenditures to lower sulfur dioxide emission rates to ensure that allowances allocated by the federal government are not exceeded. While the Company estimates that sufficient emission allowances have been allocated on system-wide basis for its units to operate at the capacity factors needed to meet system energy requirements, additional purchases of allowances may be necessary to meet desired sales for resale levels. By the year 2000, some Company coal-fired generating units will be required to install controls to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides. Based on currently proposed CAA regulations, the Company does not anticipate its remaining construction costs for the installation of low nitrogen oxides burner technology and emissions monitoring system upgrades to exceed $16 million of which $3.4 million and none are expected to be expended in 1996 and 1997, respectively. WATER QUALITY Under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, as amended, the Company is required to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits to discharge effluents (including thermal discharges) from its properties into various waterways. All NPDES permits are subject to renewal after specified time periods not to exceed five years. The Company has obtained all necessary NPDES permits for its generating stations and, when such permits are expected to expire, the Company will file applications for renewal. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND WASTE MANAGEMENT The EPA and state environmental agencies have determined that contaminated wastes remaining at certain decommissioned manufactured gas plant (MGP) facilities may pose a threat to the public health or the 13 environment if such contaminants are in sufficient quantities and at such concentrations as to warrant remedial action. The Company is evaluating 26 properties which were, at one time, sites of MGP facilities in which it may be a potentially responsible party. The Company's present estimate of probable remediation costs of these sites is $21 million. The ICC has approved the use of a tariff rider which permits recovery of the actual costs of litigation, investigation and remediation relating to former MGP sites. The Company's present rates in Iowa provide for a fixed annual recovery of MGP costs. Additional information relating to the Company's MGP facilities is included under the Note "Commitments and Contingencies" on page 29 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1995 which page is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the Toxic Substances Control Act, a federal law administered by the EPA, the Company developed a comprehensive program for the use, handling, control and disposal of all polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) contained in electrical equipment. The future use of equipment containing PCB's will be minimized. Capacitors, transformers and other miscellaneous equipment are being purchased with a non-PCB dielectric fluid. The Company's exposure to PCB liability has been reduced through the orderly replacement of a number of such electrical devices with similar non-PCB electrical devices. An unresolved issue is whether exposure to electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) may result in adverse health effects. EMFs are produced by all devices carrying or using electricity, including transmission and distribution lines and home appliances. The Company cannot predict the effect on construction costs of electric utility facilities if EMF regulations were to be adopted. Although the Company is not the subject of any suit involving EMFs, litigation has been filed in a number of jurisdictions against a variety of defendants alleging that EMFs had an adverse effect on health. If such litigation were successful, the impact on the Company and on the electric utility industry in general could be significant. INTERCOAST ENERGY COMPANY InterCoast is a wholly owned nonregulated subsidiary of the Company. The nonregulated activities emphasize energy-related diversification, credit quality and liquidity. InterCoast takes advantage of a core expertise in energy, participating in the energy industry through four nonregulated business groups: Medallion Production Company (Medallion), InterCoast Energy Marketing and Services Company (Energy Services), Rail Car Services and Investments (Rail Services) and InterCoast Capital Company (InterCoast Capital).

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company and its subsidiaries have no material legal proceedings except for the following: ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Information on the Company's environmental matters is included in Item 1 -- Business and under the Note "Environmental Matters" on page 29 of the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for 1995, which page is incorporated herein by reference. COOPER LITIGATION On May 26, 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit naming Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) as defendant. The action is filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa and is identified as No. 4-95-CV-70356. The legal proceeding is based upon a long-term power purchase agreement between the Company and NPPD, pursuant to which the Company purchases one-half the output of NPPD's Cooper Nuclear Station (Cooper) and pays one-half the cost of operating Cooper. NPPD, in turn, is obligated to operate the plant in an efficient and economical manner and in compliance with the terms of its operating license issued to it by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). In 1993 and 1994, as a response to NPPD actions, the NRC issued numerous notices of violations to NPPD; as a result of these violations and other safety issues identified by the NRC and NPPD, Cooper experienced unplanned outages and outages were unduly extended. NPPD's failure to meet its obligations with respect to the operation of Cooper deprived the Company of the benefits it was entitled to under the power sales contract, causing the Company to lose profits and incur increased costs of operation, which damages the Company seeks to collect from NPPD. Similar litigation has been filed against NPPD by the Lincoln Electric System (LES), a municipal utility serving the City of Lincoln, Nebraska, and purchasing one-eighth of the output of Cooper pursuant to a similar power purchase contract. The LES legal proceeding is pending in Nebraska state court. ITEM 4.

BUSINESS TRANSACTION POLICY STATEMENT In response to the competitive forces and regulatory changes being faced by the Company, the Company has from time to time considered, and expects to continue to consider, various strategies designed to enhance its competitive position and to increase its ability to adapt to and anticipate changes in its utility business. These strategies may include business combinations with other companies, internal restructurings involving the complete or partial separation of its wholesale and retail businesses, and additions to, or dispositions of, portions of its franchised service territories. The Company may from time to time be engaged in preliminary discussions, either internally or with third parties, regarding one or more of these potential strategies. No assurances can be given as to whether any potential transaction of the type described above may actually occur, or as to the ultimate effect thereof on the financial condition or competitive position of the Company. The Company's management is mindful of the importance of informing investors about Company operations. Management must also pay heed to the legally sensitive nature of certain matters, and that is particularly true about any business transaction involving an acquisition, disposition or combination of businesses which the Company may be considering. 18 Therefore, the Company's management has adopted a policy to announce consideration of any such transaction only after it would enter into a definitive agreement or an agreement in principle describing the material terms of such a transaction. Until that point, the Company would respond with "no comment" to any inquiry concerning any such transaction, whether or not the Company is considering, discussing or negotiating for any acquisitions, dispositions or combinations of businesses. The Company's management believes this policy is consistent both with investors' need for information and with the Company's concern for appropriate disclosure regarding legally sensitive matters.

We did not audit the 1994 and 1993 financial statements of Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company, one of the companies merged in 1995 to form MidAmerican Energy Company in a transaction accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, as discussed in Note (1)(a). Such statements are included in the consolidated financial statements of MidAmerican Energy Company and subsidiaries and reflect total assets constituting 42 percent in 1994 and total revenues constituting 36 percent in 1994 and 1993, of the related consolidated totals. These statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on those consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed on Page 22, Item 14 is the responsibility of MidAmerican Energy Company management and is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP Chicago, Illinois January 26, 1996 23 DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Northwest Bank Building 101 West Second Street Davenport, IA 52801-1813 319-322-4415 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of MidAmerican Energy Company: We have audited the consolidated balance sheet and statement of capitalization of Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company and subsidiary as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. 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 audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the companies as of December 31, 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP January 25, 1995 -24- DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP Northwest Bank Building 101 West Second Street Davenport, IA 52801-1813 319-322-4415 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of MidAmerican Energy Company We have audited the consolidated balance sheet and statement of capitalization of Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company and subsidiary as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, and have issued our report thereon dated January 25, 1995. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company and subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1994, listed in Item 14.
