     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,

          and its utility  subsidiary,  Midwest Power Systems Inc.,  merged with
          and into MidAmerican.

          The Company's  utility  operations  consist of four distinct  business
          units:  generation,  transmission,  energy  delivery  and retail.  The
          Company  is  primarily   engaged  in  the   business  of   generating,
          transmitting,   distributing   and   selling   electric   energy   and
          distributing,  selling and transporting  natural gas. The company 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 648,000 customers in Iowa,  Illinois,  and South Dakota and
          natural  gas service to 619,000  customers  in Iowa,  Illinois,  South
          Dakota, and Nebraska.

              substations   (243  are  located  in  Iowa)  and  54  transmission
