REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Administrative Committee

Revised Profit Sharing Plan for the

Employees of the Government Employees Companies

Chevy Chase, Maryland

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Revised Profit Sharing Plan for the Employees of the Government Employees Companies (the Plan) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes at December 31, 2014 and the Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the year ended December 31, 2014 have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but include supplemental information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information in the accompanying schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedules (Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes at December 31, 2014 and the Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the year ended December 31, 2014) is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

REVISED PROFIT SHARING PLAN

FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF THE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES COMPANIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Revised Profit Sharing Plan for the Employees of the Government Employees Companies (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a complete description. The Government Employees Companies (the Companies) include GEICO Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries.

Non-highly compensated participants may contribute up to 50 percent of qualified earnings and highly compensated participants are limited to 6 percent of qualified earnings, subject to the maximum dollar amount permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible participants may also make additional “catch-up” contributions as allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may allocate their contributions between tax-deferred accounts and, beginning November 1, 2007, Roth accounts. The Companies may contribute an amount to be shared by all eligible employees.

Employees automatically become eligible to make a 401(k) elective contribution to the Plan upon their date of hire and are generally eligible to receive a Company contribution after completing one year of service. Vesting is based on years of service at the following rates: 20 percent after two years, 40 percent after three years, 60 percent after four years, 80 percent after five years, and 100 percent after six years.

Withdrawals may be made from after-tax employee contributions made prior to January 1, 1998 (and a pro rata share of the earnings on after-tax contributions withdrawn that were made after December 31, 1986 and before January 1, 1998) and vested employer contributions made prior to January 1, 1993, subject to certain restrictions. Vested employer contributions made on or after January 1, 1993 can only be withdrawn under financial hardship conditions (for periods before September 2013) or after attainment of age 55. Tax-deferred contributions can be withdrawn under financial hardship conditions or after attainment of age 59¹⁄₂. Roth contributions and earnings can be withdrawn tax free after the participant has completed five years of participation and attained age 59¹⁄₂. The five year period begins with the first day of the participant’s taxable year in which he or she first made the Roth elective contribution. The participant can withdraw his or her Roth contributions before the five consecutive year period upon demonstration of financial hardship or attainment of age 59¹⁄₂, but the earnings are subject to taxation.

FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF THE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES COMPANIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN - CONTINUED

On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant or beneficiary may elect to receive an amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account in either a lump-sum amount or in monthly or annual installments which provide payments for a period certain of 5, 10 or 15 years. For termination of service due to other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.

The Plan allows participants to borrow funds from their vested accounts subject to certain restrictions. Payroll deductions are required to repay loans over five years or less except in the case of a mortgage-related loan which may be repaid over a period of up to 15 years. The interest rate is fixed for the term of the loan at the commercial rate of interest charged by area banks on loans which are made under similar circumstances. When a participant terminates, any loan balance must be repaid prior to any account distribution.

Although they have not expressed any intent to do so, the Companies have the right under the Plan to discontinue their contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting: The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).

Subsequent Events: The Plan has performed an evaluation of subsequent events and has considered relevant matters in the preparation of the financial statements and footnotes.

Use of Estimates: Preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVISED PROFIT SHARING PLAN

FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF THE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES COMPANIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

Investments: Investments, except for collective trusts, are reported at aggregate fair value based upon quoted market prices. Collective trusts are reported at aggregate fair value based on a calculation of the trusts’ unit values. The trusts’ unit values are determined daily, when the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading, by dividing the net asset value of the trust by the number of trust units outstanding. The appreciation or depreciation in the aggregate fair value of investments is reflected in the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits. Net realized gains and losses on security sales are determined using the average cost of investments.

Collective trusts consist of Vanguard Target Retirement Trusts (Trusts). The Trusts invest in corresponding master trusts, which in turn invest in Vanguard mutual funds using an asset allocation strategy designed for investors planning to retire or leave the workforce in or within a few years of a target year.

Loans Receivable from Participants: Loans receivable from participants are reported at their unpaid principal balances plus any accrued but unpaid interest. No allowance is required as delinquent loans result in an automatic deemed distribution from the participant’s account after the cure period.

Administrative Expenses: Some administrative expenses are paid by the Companies. Other administrative expenses (e.g., recordkeeping fees for active participants) are paid by the Plan through deductions from the forfeiture account. Administrative expenses related to participants who are no longer employed are deducted from the participants’ accounts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE D – INVESTMENTS – CONTINUED

U.S. GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the assets or liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the classification is based on the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. Classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy considers the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability and transparency of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The levels of the hierarchy and those investments included in each are as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. Mutual funds and common stocks are traded on an exchange in active markets and fair values are based on quoted market prices.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs. Collective trusts are valued based on the net asset value of the collective trust divided by the number of trust units outstanding. Investments in collective trusts are typically valued, as a practical expedient, utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the underlying private investment companies and or their administrators, without adjustment, when the net asset valuations of the investments are calculated in a manner consistent with U.S. GAAP for investment companies. Although the majority of the master trusts’ investments are traded on an exchange in active markets and therefore can be valued based on a quoted market price, the values of the collective trusts are not quoted in an active market.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable for the asset or liability and are significant to the fair value measurement.

These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment. Where appropriate, adjustments are included to reflect the risk inherent in a particular methodology, model or input used and are reflective of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing assets or liabilities.

REVISED PROFIT SHARING PLAN

FOR THE EMPLOYEES OF THE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES COMPANIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE F - FEDERAL TAXES

The Plan is exempt from taxation in accordance with the provisions of Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employer contributions and income earned from Plan investments are not taxable to participants until distributed. Employee contributions made from pre-tax earnings are taxed upon distribution. Employee contributions made from after-tax earnings are not subject to additional income tax upon distribution. Pre-tax distributions and earnings may be subject to an excise tax when distributed.

U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the federal and state authorities. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2011.

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on June 22, 2012. The Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Internal Revenue Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan has indicated it will take the necessary steps to maintain the Plan’s qualified status. As a result, the Plan administrator believes the Plan is qualified and therefore, is exempt from taxation. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator believes the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE G - PARTY IN INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

The Plan includes investments in shares of mutual funds, collective trusts and a fund of common stock issued by Berkshire Hathaway Inc., the ultimate parent company of GEICO Corporation. The funds are managed by an affiliate of Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (VFTC). VFTC acts as trustee for only those investments as defined by the Plan. Transactions in such investments qualify as party in interest transactions, which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.

The Plan includes investments in various securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits.
