2.   A brief  description  of the  properties  of the  claimant  and each of its
     subsidiary public utility companies.

     A.   MidAmerican  Energy  Holdings  Company is a holding company which owns
          electric  and  gas  utility   operations   and  various  nonregulated
          businesses.  MidAmerican  Energy  Holdings  Company  owns no  physical
          utility property.

     B.   MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican" or "Company") is a regulated
          public utility company,  incorporated in the State of Iowa. On July 1,
          1995,  Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company,  Midwest Resources Inc.
          and its utility subsidiary, Midwest Power Systems Inc., merged with 
          and into MidAmerican.

          The Company's utility  operations  consist of three principal business

          Company is primarily   engaged  in  the   business   of   generating,
          transmitting,   distributing   and   selling   electric   energy   and

          delivery unit owns intrastate  natural gas transmission  lines that do
          not constitute a material portion of the overall  distribution system;
          as  such  these  lines  are  classified  as  distribution   lines  for
          accounting purposes.

          The  Company's  utility  service  territory  spans  the State of Iowa,
          serving most of its larger cities as well as areas of Illinois,  South
          Dakota,  and a small area of Nebraska.  MidAmerican  provides electric
          service to 642,000 customers in Iowa,  Illinois,  and South Dakota and
          natural  gas service to 610,000  customers  in Iowa,  Illinois,  South
          Dakota, and Nebraska.


          i.  ELECTRIC OPERATIONS:

              MidAmerican's transmission lines, operating from 34,500 to 345,000
              volts,  totalled  4,239  circuit miles at December 31, 1996 (3,948
              miles are  located in Iowa).  MidAmerican  owned 278  distribution
              substations   (244  are  located  in  Iowa)  and  54  transmission
              substations (49 in Iowa) at December 31, 1996.

          ii. GAS OPERATIONS

              MidAmerican serves customers in Iowa, Illinois,  South Dakota, and
              Nebraska.  The Federal Energy Regulatory  Commission (FERC) issued
              orders  (collectively Order 636) effective November 1, 1993, which
              have   significantly   changed  the   operations   and  regulatory
              requirements  for  interstate  pipeline  companies.  Prior  to the
              effective  date of Order 636,  natural gas was supplied by various
              pipeline companies,  producers, and brokers and was transported by
              Northern Natural Gas Company,  Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America
              and ANR Pipeline Co. The Order 636 changes  directly  impact local
              distribution companies (LDCs), including MidAmerican, by requiring
              LDCs to assume responsibility for the procurement,  transportation
              and storage of natural gas.

              Natural gas is distributed  through 18,732 miles of  distribution
              mains and  services  of which 14,636 miles are  located in Iowa,
              2,000 miles in Illinois, 1,954 miles in South Dakota and 142 miles
              in Nebraska.

              Other natural gas property owned includes: three liquefied natural
              gas plants located in Bettendorf,  Iowa,  Waterloo,  Iowa, and Des
              Moines,  Iowa with 109,600 MMBtu maximum daily  delivery  capacity
              and four  propane-air  gas peak shaving  plants of which three are
              located  in Iowa and one in  South  Dakota,  with a total  maximum
              daily delivery capacity of 78,940 MMBtu.
