REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of

MidAmerican Energy Company

Des Moines, Iowa

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of MidAmerican Energy Company (the "Company") as of September 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 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 consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of capitalization (not presented herein) of MidAmerican Energy Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 1, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

MIDAMERICAN ENERGY COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) General

MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy") is a public utility with electric and natural gas operations and is the principal subsidiary of MHC Inc. ("MHC"). MHC is a holding company that conducts no business other than the ownership of its subsidiaries and related corporate services. MHC's nonregulated subsidiaries include Midwest Capital Group, Inc. and MEC Construction Services Co. MHC is the direct, wholly owned subsidiary of MidAmerican Funding, LLC ("MidAmerican Funding"), which is an Iowa limited liability company with MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company ("MEHC") as its sole member. MEHC is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

The unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements included in MidAmerican Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, other than the following change in depreciation rates.

Utility Plant Depreciation Rates

During the third quarter of 2013, MidAmerican Energy revised depreciation rates for certain electric generating facilities based on the results of a new depreciation study. The new rates reflect longer estimated useful lives for wind-powered generating facilities placed in service in 2011 and 2012 and a lower accrual rate for the cost of removal regulatory liability related to coal-fueled generating facilities. The effect of these changes reduced depreciation and amortization expense by $8 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and is estimated to be a reduction of $49 million annually based on depreciable plant balances at the time of the change.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 405, "Liabilities." The amendments in this guidance require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay plus any additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligor. Additionally, the guidance requires the entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about those obligations. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. MidAmerican Energy is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Financial Statements.

8

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends FASB ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." The amendments in this guidance require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required by GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. MidAmerican Energy adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on MidAmerican Energy's disclosures included within Notes to Financial Statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, which amends FASB ASC Topic 210, "Balance Sheet." The amendments in this guidance require an entity to provide quantitative disclosures about offsetting financial instruments and derivative instruments. Additionally, this guidance requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures about master netting agreements or similar agreements when the financial instruments and derivative instruments are not offset. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, which also amends FASB ASC Topic 210 to clarify that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 only applies to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements, reverse purchase agreements and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either being offset or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. MidAmerican Energy adopted the guidance on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on MidAmerican Energy's disclosures included within Notes to Financial Statements.

(3) Components of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net

The following table shows the change in AOCI by each component of other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 (in millions):

	Unrealized			Unrealized			Accumulated
	Losses on			Losses on			Other
	Available-For-Sale			Cash Flow			Comprehensive
	Securities			Hedges			Loss, Net
Balance, December 31, 2012	$	(5	)	$	(19	)	$	(24	)
Other comprehensive income	1			3			4
Balance, September 30, 2013	$	(4	)	$	(16	)	$	(20	)

Reclassifications from AOCI to net income for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were net losses reflected in nonregulated cost of sales totaling $1 million and $4 million, respectively, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were net losses reflected in nonregulated cost of sales totaling $7 million and $31 million, respectively.

(4) Preferred Securities

In April 2013, MidAmerican Energy redeemed all of the outstanding shares of its preferred securities at the stated redemption prices, which in aggregate totaled $28 million, plus accrued dividends.

(5) Recent Financing Transactions

Long-Term Debt

In September 2013, MidAmerican Energy issued $350 million of its 2.40% First Mortgage Bonds due March 2019, $250 million of its 3.70% First Mortgage Bonds due September 2023 and $350 million of its 4.80% First Mortgage Bonds due September 2043 pursuant to its indenture dated September 9, 2013, as supplemented and amended. The net proceeds will be used for the repayment of $669 million of long-term debt maturing December 31, 2013, and for general corporate purposes.

9

Pursuant to MidAmerican Energy's mortgage dated September 9, 2013, the first mortgage bonds are secured by a first mortgage lien on substantially all of MidAmerican Energy’s electric generating, transmission and distribution property within the State of Iowa, subject to certain exceptions and permitted encumbrances. As of September 30, 2013, 80% of MidAmerican Energy's gross utility plant in service was pledged. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy's senior notes outstanding are equally and ratably secured with the first mortgage bonds as required by the indentures under which the senior notes were issued.

Credit Facilities

In March 2013, MidAmerican Energy replaced its $530 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which had been set to expire in July 2013, with a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility expiring in March 2018. The new credit facility, which supports MidAmerican Energy's commercial paper program and its variable-rate tax-exempt bond obligations and provides for the issuance of letters of credit, has a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate or a base rate, at MidAmerican Energy's option, plus a spread that varies based on MidAmerican Energy's credit ratings for its senior unsecured long-term debt securities. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy had no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility. The credit facility requires that MidAmerican Energy's ratio of consolidated debt, including current maturities, to total capitalization not exceed 0.65 to 1.0 as of the last day of each quarter.

(6) Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to MidAmerican Energy's effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax benefit is as follows:

	Three-Month Periods				Nine-Month Periods
	Ended September 30,				Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Federal statutory income tax rate	35	%	35	%	35	%	35	%

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits earned by MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity production tax credits are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities were placed in service.

MidAmerican Energy's income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, reflect $16 million of federal income tax benefits recognized in connection with an income tax method change for income tax years prior to 2012. MidAmerican Energy changed the method by which it determines current income tax deductions for repair costs related to its regulated utility electric transmission and distribution assets based on guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service. Application of this guidance results in current deductibility for those costs, which are capitalized for book purposes. MidAmerican Energy retroactively applied the method change, deducted amounts related to prior years' costs on its 2011 tax return and recognized the change in the second quarter of 2012. State utility rate regulation in Iowa requires the tax effect of certain temporary differences be flowed through immediately to customers. Therefore, certain deferred amounts that would otherwise have been recognized in income tax expense have been included as changes in regulatory assets.

Berkshire Hathaway includes MEHC and subsidiaries in its United States federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Energy's provision for income taxes has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income taxes are remitted to or received from MEHC. MidAmerican Energy received net cash receipts for income taxes from MEHC totaling $17 million and $596 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, $5 million and $- million of contributions had been made to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively.

(8) Risk Management and Hedging Activities

MidAmerican Energy is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. MidAmerican Energy is principally exposed to electricity, natural gas, coal and fuel oil commodity price risk as it has an obligation to serve retail customer load in its regulated service territory. MidAmerican Energy also provides nonregulated retail electricity and natural gas services in competitive markets. MidAmerican Energy's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity, wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold, and natural gas supply for retail customers. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather; market liquidity; generating facility availability; customer usage; storage; and transmission and transportation constraints. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. MidAmerican Energy does not engage in a material amount of proprietary trading activities.

MidAmerican Energy has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, assess, monitor, report, manage and mitigate each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, MidAmerican Energy uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. MidAmerican Energy manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk. MidAmerican Energy does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices.

There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on derivative contracts.

Designated as Hedging Contracts

MidAmerican Energy uses derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges to hedge electricity and natural gas commodity prices for delivery to nonregulated customers.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of MidAmerican Energy's accumulated other comprehensive loss (pre-tax) and summarizes pre-tax gains and losses on commodity derivative contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive income ("OCI"), as well as amounts reclassified to earnings (in millions):

	Three-Month Periods						Nine-Month Periods
	Ended September 30,						Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012

Net losses reclassified to nonregulated cost of sales	(1		)	(4		)	(7		)	(31		)
Ending balance	$	26		$	32		$	26		$	32

Realized gains and losses on hedges and hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in income as nonregulated operating revenue or nonregulated cost of sales depending upon the nature of the item being hedged. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy had cash flow hedges with expiration dates extending through December 2017, and $14 million of pre-tax net unrealized losses are forecasted to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next twelve months as contracts settle.

Credit Risk

MidAmerican Energy extends unsecured credit to other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants in conjunction with its wholesale energy supply and marketing activities. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that might occur as a result of nonperformance by counterparties on their contractual obligations to make or take delivery of electricity, natural gas or other commodities and to make financial settlements of these obligations. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent that one or more groups of counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in market or other conditions. In addition, credit risk includes not only the risk that a counterparty may default due to circumstances relating directly to it, but also the risk that a counterparty may default due to circumstances involving other market participants that have a direct or indirect relationship with the counterparty.

MidAmerican Energy analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty before entering into any transactions, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To mitigate exposure to the financial risks of wholesale counterparties, MidAmerican Energy enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtains third-party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. Counterparties may be assessed fees for delayed payments. If required, MidAmerican Energy exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

MidAmerican Energy also has potential indirect credit exposure to other market participants in the regional transmission organization ("RTO") markets where it actively participates, including the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. and the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. In the event of a default by a RTO market participant on its market-related obligations, losses are allocated among all other market participants in proportion to each participant's share of overall market activity during the period of time the loss was incurred, diversifying MidAmerican Energy's exposure to credit losses from individual participants. Transactional activities of MidAmerican Energy and other participants in organized RTO markets are governed by credit policies specified in each respective RTO's governing tariff or related business practices. Credit policies of RTO's, which have been developed through extensive stakeholder participation, generally seek to minimize potential loss in the event of a market participant default without unnecessarily inhibiting access to the marketplace. MidAmerican Energy's share of historical losses from defaults by other RTO market participants has not been material.

Collateral and Contingent Features

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale derivative contracts contain credit support provisions that in part base MidAmerican Energy's collateral requirements on its credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the three recognized credit rating agencies. These derivative contracts may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance," or in some cases terminate the contract, in the event of a material adverse change in MidAmerican Energy's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy's credit ratings from the three recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.

14

The aggregate fair value of MidAmerican Energy's derivative contracts in liability positions with specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $53 million and $84 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, for which MidAmerican Energy had posted collateral of $- million. If all credit-risk-related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, MidAmerican Energy would have been required to post $42 million and $72 million, respectively, of additional collateral. MidAmerican Energy's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation, or other factors.

(9) Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of MidAmerican Energy's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. MidAmerican Energy has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

• Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that MidAmerican Energy has the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 — Inputs 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 inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect MidAmerican Energy's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. MidAmerican Energy develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

The following table presents MidAmerican Energy's assets and liabilities recognized on the Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

(2) Amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents and investments and nonregulated property, net on the Balance Sheets. The fair value of these money market mutual funds approximates cost.

16

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which MidAmerican Energy transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, MidAmerican Energy uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent MidAmerican Energy's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. MidAmerican Energy bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent energy brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by MidAmerican Energy. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of MidAmerican Energy's outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, MidAmerican Energy's forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contract. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, MidAmerican Energy uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion regarding MidAmerican Energy's risk management and hedging activities.

MidAmerican Energy's investments in money market mutual funds and debt and equity securities are accounted for as available-for-sale securities and are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics. The fair value of MidAmerican Energy's investments in auction rate securities, where there is no current liquid market, is determined using pricing models based on available observable market data and MidAmerican Energy's judgment about the assumptions, including liquidity and nonperformance risks, which market participants would use when pricing the asset.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of MidAmerican Energy's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs (in millions):

	Three-Month Periods					Nine-Month Periods

(1) Changes included in earnings are reported as nonregulated operating revenue on the Statements of Operations. For commodity derivatives held as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, net unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, totaled $1 million and $(2) million, respectively, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, totaled $- million and $3 million, respectively.

17

MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Financial Statements. The fair value of MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of MidAmerican Energy's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt (in millions):

	As of September 30, 2013				As of December 31, 2012
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt	$	4,218	$	4,552	$	3,259	$	3,737

(10) Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

MidAmerican Energy is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. MidAmerican Energy does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its financial results.

Commitments

In August 2013, the Iowa Utilities Board approved ratemaking principles for MidAmerican Energy to construct up to 1,050 megawatts (nominal ratings) of additional wind-powered generating facilities expected to be placed in service in 2013, 2014 and 2015. MidAmerican Energy has entered into contracts totaling $1.3 billion related to these wind-powered generating facilities with minimum payments expected to be $343 million in 2013, $522 million in 2014 and $447 million in 2015.

In July 2013, MidAmerican Energy entered into a contract totaling $342 million to construct transmission assets related to its Multi-Value Projects approved by the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. with minimum payments of $17 million in 2013, $140 million in 2014, $149 million in 2015 and $36 million in 2016.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

MidAmerican Energy is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air and water quality, emissions performance standards, climate change, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its current and future operations. MidAmerican Energy believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

(11) Segment Information

MidAmerican Energy has identified three reportable segments: regulated electric, regulated gas and nonregulated energy. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. The nonregulated energy segment derives most of its revenue from nonregulated retail electric and gas activities. Common operating costs, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost.

(12) Other Related Party Transactions

In 2012, MidAmerican Energy signed new long-term rail transportation contracts with BNSF Railway Company ("BNSF"), an affiliate company, and Union Pacific Railroad Company ("UP") for the transportation of coal to all of the MidAmerican Energy-operated coal-fueled generating facilities. These contracts replaced a long-term contract with UP that expired December 31, 2012. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, $50 million and $139 million, respectively, was incurred for coal transportation services, the majority of which was related to the BNSF agreement. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy had accounts payable to BNSF of $5 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Managers and Member of

MidAmerican Funding, LLC

Des Moines, Iowa

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MidAmerican Funding, LLC and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 consolidated 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 consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of capitalization (not presented herein) of MidAmerican Funding, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 1, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

MIDAMERICAN FUNDING, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1) General

MidAmerican Funding, LLC ("MidAmerican Funding") is an Iowa limited liability company with MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company ("MEHC") as its sole member. MEHC is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway"). MidAmerican Funding's direct, wholly owned subsidiary is MHC Inc. ("MHC"), which constitutes substantially all of MidAmerican Funding's assets, liabilities and business activities except those related to MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt securities. MHC conducts no business other than the ownership of its subsidiaries and related corporate services. MHC's principal subsidiary is MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy"), a public utility with electric and natural gas operations. Direct, wholly owned nonregulated subsidiaries of MHC are Midwest Capital Group, Inc. and MEC Construction Services Co.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in MidAmerican Funding's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Funding's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 other than a change in certain of MidAmerican Energy's depreciation rates.

(6) Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to MidAmerican Funding's effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax benefit is as follows:

	Three-Month Periods				Nine-Month Periods
	Ended September 30,				Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Federal statutory income tax rate	35	%	35	%	35	%	35	%
Income tax credits	(74	)	(54	)	(70	)	(55	)
State income tax, net of federal income tax benefit	(2	)	(3	)	(3	)	(6	)
Income tax method change	—		—		—		(8	)
Effects of ratemaking	(5	)	—		(5	)	(1	)
Other, net	—		(4	)	1		(1	)
Effective income tax rate	(46	)%	(26	)%	(42	)%	(36	)%

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits earned by MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity production tax credits are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities were placed in service.

MidAmerican Energy's income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, reflect $16 million of federal income tax benefits recognized in connection with an income tax method change for income tax years prior to 2012. MidAmerican Energy changed the method by which it determines current income tax deductions for repair costs related to its regulated utility electric transmission and distribution assets based on guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service. Application of this guidance results in current deductibility for those costs, which are capitalized for book purposes. MidAmerican Energy retroactively applied the method change, deducted amounts related to prior years' costs on its 2011 tax return and recognized the change in the second quarter of 2012. State utility rate regulation in Iowa requires the tax effect of certain temporary differences be flowed through immediately to customers. Therefore, certain deferred amounts that would otherwise have been recognized in income tax expense have been included as changes in regulatory assets.

Berkshire Hathaway includes MEHC and subsidiaries in its United States federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's provisions for income taxes have been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of their currently payable or receivable income taxes are remitted to or received from MEHC. MidAmerican Funding received net cash receipts for income taxes from MEHC totaling $22 million and $602 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(8) Risk Management and Hedging Activities

(9) Fair Value Measurements

Refer to Note 9 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements.

MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of MidAmerican Funding's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt (in millions):

	As of September 30, 2013				As of December 31, 2012
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt	$	4,543	$	4,946	$	3,584	$	4,186

(10) Commitments and Contingencies

MidAmerican Funding is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. MidAmerican Funding does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results.

Refer to Note 10 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements.

(11) Segment Information

MidAmerican Funding has identified three reportable segments: regulated electric, regulated gas and nonregulated energy. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. The nonregulated energy segment derives most of its revenue from nonregulated retail electric and gas activities. Common operating costs, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost. "Other" in the tables below consists of the nonregulated subsidiaries of MidAmerican Funding not engaged in the energy business and parent company interest expense.

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of MidAmerican Funding and its subsidiaries and MidAmerican Energy as presented in this joint filing. Information in Management's Discussion and Analysis related to MidAmerican Energy, whether or not segregated, also relates to MidAmerican Funding. Information related to other subsidiaries of MidAmerican Funding pertains only to the discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of MidAmerican Funding. Where necessary, discussions have been segregated under the heading "MidAmerican Funding" to allow the reader to identify information applicable only to MidAmerican Funding. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Results of Operations for the Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2013 and 2012

Overview

MidAmerican Energy -

MidAmerican Energy's earnings on common stock for the third quarter of 2013 was $145 million, an increase of $5 million, or 4%, compared to 2012 primarily due to an $18 million increase in federal income tax benefits from greater recognized production tax credits and the effects of ratemaking and a $9 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense due to a change in depreciation rates and lower Iowa revenue sharing, partially offset by an increase for additional wind-powered generating facilities placed in service in the second half of 2012. The increases were partially offset by an $8 million decrease in regulated electric gross margin due to higher costs for generation and purchased power net of new interim Iowa electric retail rates, a $5 million decrease in nonregulated electric gross margin and a $3 million increase in fixed charges primarily from the issuance of $950 million of first mortgage bonds in September 2013.

MidAmerican Energy's earnings on common stock for the first nine months of 2013 was $271 million, a decrease of $23 million, or 8%, compared to 2012 due to a $31 million decrease in regulated electric wholesale gross margin from higher costs for purchased power and generation, a $22 million increase in maintenance expense principally for a generating facility outage and storm restoration, $16 million of federal income tax benefits recognized in the second quarter of 2012 related to an income tax method change, a $14 million decrease in nonregulated electric gross margin and a $9 million increase in depreciation expense primarily as a result of additional wind-powered generating facilities placed in service in the second half of 2012, net of lower Iowa revenue sharing and other regulatory costs. The decreases were partially offset by a $37 million increase in regulated electric retail gross margins primarily due to adjustment clauses in Iowa and Illinois and interim Iowa electric retail rates, a $22 million increase in regulated gas gross margins due to colder temperatures in 2013 primarily from the unusually warm temperatures in 2012, and a $15 million increase in recognized production tax credits.

MidAmerican Funding -

Net income attributable to MidAmerican Funding for the third quarter of 2013 was $143 million, an increase of $7 million, or 5%, and for the first nine months of 2013 was $264 million, a decrease of $20 million, or 7%, compared to 2012 due to the changes in MidAmerican Energy's earnings discussed above.

(1) GWh amounts are net of energy used by the related generating facilities.

(2) All or some of the renewable energy attributes associated with generation from these generating facilities may be: (a) used in future years to comply with renewable portfolio standards or other regulatory requirements or (b) sold to third parties in the form of renewable energy credits or other environmental commodities.

Electric gross margin for the third quarter of 2013 decreased $8 million compared to 2012. Wholesale gross margin decreased $10 million compared to 2012 due to a lower average margin per megawatt hour sold as a result of lower prices and higher costs for generation and purchased power. Wholesale includes sales of electricity principally to markets operated by regional transmission organizations. Retail gross margin increased $2 million compared to 2012 due to $6 million from higher interim Iowa electric retail rates implemented in August 2013 and an increase in low-cost generation for retail, partially offset by an increase in the cost of purchased power and higher generation costs primarily as a result of new coal transportation agreements effective in 2013. More moderate temperatures in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 decreased retail gross margin by $14 million but was substantially offset by increases from customer growth and other usage factors.

31

Electric gross margin for the first nine months of 2013 increased $6 million compared to 2012. Retail gross margin increased $37 million compared to 2012 due to an increase of $27 million from adjustment clauses implemented in Iowa and Illinois in the first half of 2012, $6 million from higher interim Iowa electric retail rates implemented in August 2013, a $6 million increase from customer growth and other usage factors partially reduced by milder temperatures in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 and a $3 million increase from sales of renewable energy credits. The increases were partially offset by higher generation costs for retail primarily due to new coal transportation agreements effective in 2013 reduced by an increase in low-cost generation for retail. Wholesale gross margin decreased $31 million compared to 2012 due to a lower average margin per megawatt hour sold as a result of higher costs for purchased power and an increase in generation costs primarily from new coal transportation agreements.

Regulated gas revenue includes purchased gas adjustment clauses through which MidAmerican Energy is allowed to recover the cost of gas sold from its retail gas utility customers. Consequently, fluctuations in the cost of gas sold do not directly affect gross margin or net income because regulated gas revenue reflects comparable fluctuations through the purchased gas adjustment clauses. For the third quarter of 2013, MidAmerican Energy's combined retail and wholesale average per-unit cost of gas sold increased 15%, resulting in an increase of $8 million in gas revenue and cost of gas sold compared to 2012. Additionally, the increase in total sales volumes compared to the third quarter of 2012 increased revenue and cost of gas sold for the third quarter of 2013. For the first nine months of 2013, MidAmerican Energy's combined retail and wholesale average per-unit cost of gas sold increased 18%, resulting in an increase of $56 million in gas revenue and cost of gas sold compared to 2012. Additionally, the increase in total sales volumes compared to the first nine months of 2012, primarily from the unseasonably warm winter and spring temperatures in 2012, increased revenue and cost of gas sold for the first nine months of 2013. The improvement in gas gross margin for the first nine months of 2013 was due to the increase in retail sales volumes primarily as a result of the unusual temperatures in 2012.

Regulated Operating Costs and Expenses

Other operating expenses for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $103 million, a decrease of $4 million compared to 2012 due to decreases in various administrative costs and DSM program costs, which are matched by decreases in regulated electric and gas revenue. For the first nine months of 2013, other operating expenses totaled $320 million, an increase of $11 million compared to 2012. The increases were primarily due to higher transmission operations costs, higher DSM program costs, the write-off of Iowa carbon reduction study costs and general increases in and the timing of various operating costs, partially offset by a decrease in other administrative costs.

Maintenance expense for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $57 million, an increase of $5 million compared to 2012 primarily due to increases in transmission and generating facility maintenance. Maintenance expense for the first nine months of 2013 totaled $172 million, an increase of $22 million compared to 2012 due to higher fossil-fueled generating facility maintenance costs of $14 million primarily related to a Louisa Generating Station outage and higher storm restoration costs of $6 million.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $97 million, a decrease of $9 million compared to 2012. The decrease was due to a $7 million reduction for the net effect of changes in depreciation rates in 2012 and 2013, as discussed below, and a $6 million reduction in Iowa revenue sharing, partially offset by an increase due to additional wind-powered generating facilities placed in service in the second half of 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $308 million, an increase of $9 million compared to 2012, primarily due to additional wind-powered generating facilities placed in service in the second half of 2012, partially offset by an $11 million decrease in Iowa revenue sharing, a $3 million decrease in a regulatory expense related to nuclear decommissioning accruals and a $2 million decrease for the net effect of changes in depreciation rates in 2012 and 2013.

During the third quarter of 2013, MidAmerican Energy revised depreciation rates for certain electric generating facilities based on the results of a periodic study. The new rates reflect longer estimated useful lives for wind-powered generating facilities placed in service in 2011 and 2012 and a lower accrual rate for the cost of removal regulatory liability related to coal-fueled generating facilities. The effect of this change was to reduce depreciation and amortization expense by $8 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, and is estimated to be a reduction of $49 million annually based on depreciable plant balances at the time of the change. During the third quarter of 2012, MidAmerican Energy revised its depreciation rates for certain generation facility assets reflecting shorter estimated useful lives resulting in an estimated $11 million annual increase in depreciation and amortization expense based on depreciable plant balances at the time of the change.

Nonregulated Gross Margin

MidAmerican Energy -

Nonregulated operating revenue, cost of sales and gross margin decreased for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012. Lower volumes for electric and gas sales and lower prices for electric sales, partially offset by higher prices for gas sales, resulted in a decrease to operating revenue. Lower volumes, partially offset by a higher per-unit cost, for electric and gas sales resulted in a decrease in cost of sales. Nonregulated gross margin decreased due to lower average electric margins per unit and lower electric sales.

33

For the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012, lower volumes, prices and costs for electric sales, partially offset by higher volumes, prices and costs for gas sales resulted in decreases to nonregulated operating revenue and cost of sales. Nonregulated gross margin decreased compared to the first nine months of 2012 due to lower average electric margins per unit and lower electric sales.

Non-Operating Income

MidAmerican Energy -

Allowance for equity funds for the first nine months of 2013 totaled $12 million, an increase of $2 million compared to 2012 due to higher construction work-in-progress balances primarily related to emissions control equipment at three of MidAmerican Energy's jointly owned generating units. Other, net for the first nine months of 2013 totaled $10 million, an increase of $3 million compared to 2012 due to higher returns from corporate-owned life insurance policies.

Fixed Charges

MidAmerican Energy -

Interest on long-term debt for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $36 million, an increase of $2 million compared to 2012, and for the first nine months of 2013, totaled $106 million, a decrease of $1 million compared to 2012. In September 2013, MidAmerican Energy issued $350 million of its 2.40% First Mortgage Bonds, $250 million of its 3.70% First Mortgage Bonds and $350 million of its 4.80% First Mortgage Bonds resulting in an increase to interest on long-term debt. Additionally, the larger balance of deferred payments for construction of wind-powered generating facilities increased interest expense. For the first nine months of 2013, these increases in interest on long-term debt were more than offset by a decrease from MidAmerican Energy's redemption of its $275 million, 5.125% senior notes in June 2012.

Income Tax Benefit

MidAmerican Energy -

MidAmerican Energy's income tax benefit was $43 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $18 million compared to $25 million for 2012, with an effective tax rate of (42)% for 2013 and (22)% for 2012. MidAmerican Energy's income tax benefit was $73 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $4 million compared to $69 million for 2012, with an effective tax rate of (37)% for 2013 and (31)% for 2012.

The change in the effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 was primarily due to increases of $13 million and $15 million, respectively, in recognized production tax credits compared to 2012 and the effects of ratemaking. For the first nine months of 2013 compared to the first nine months of 2012, these increases were partially offset by federal income taxbenefits recognized in the second quarter of 2012 related to a method change for the deduction of repair costs, as discussed below, and a lower federal benefit from state income taxes, in part due to the method change.

MidAmerican Energy's income tax expense for the first nine months of 2012, reflect $16 million of federal income tax benefits for income tax years prior to 2012 that were recognized in connection with MidAmerican Energy changing the method by which it determines current income tax deductions for repair costs related to its regulated utility electric transmission and distribution assets based on guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service. Application of this guidance results in current deductibility for those costs, which are capitalized for book purposes. MidAmerican Energy retroactively applied the method change, deducted amounts related to prior years' costs on its 2011 tax return and recognized the change in the second quarter of 2012. State utility rate regulation in Iowa requires the tax effect of certain temporary differences be flowed through immediately to customers. Therefore, certain deferred amounts that would otherwise have been recognized in income tax expense have been included as changes in regulatory assets.

34

Production tax credits are recognized in earnings for interim periods based on the application of an estimated annual effective tax rate to pretax earnings. Federal renewable electricity production tax credits are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities were placed in service.

MidAmerican Funding -

MidAmerican Funding's income tax benefit was $45 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $17 million compared to $28 million for 2012, with an effective tax rate of (46)% for 2013 and (26)% for 2012. MidAmerican Funding's income tax benefit was $78 million for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $2 million compared to $76 million for 2012, with an effective tax rate of (42)% for 2013 and (36)% for 2012. The decrease in effective tax rates was due principally to the factors discussed for MidAmerican Energy.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy's total net liquidity was $1.552 billion consisting of $1.142 billion of cash and cash equivalents and $605 million of revolving credit facilities reduced by $195 million of the revolving credit facilities reserved to support MidAmerican Energy's variable-rate tax-exempt bond obligations. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Funding's total net liquidity was $1.556 billion, including MHC Inc.'s $4 million revolving credit facility.

Operating Activities

MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from operating activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were $589 million and $1.104 billion, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from operating activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were $575 million and $1.088 billion, respectively. The decreases were predominantly due to the timing of income tax cash flows with MEHC, which reflect the payment in 2013 of $159 million of income tax liability generated in 2012 compared to the receipt of $274 million in 2012 of income tax benefits generated in 2011. Additionally, a decrease in income tax benefits for bonus depreciation reduced income tax cash flows for 2013. The decrease due to income tax cash flows was partially offset by a reduction in MidAmerican Energy's contributions to its defined benefit pension plan. The timing of MidAmerican Energy's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods and assumptions for each payment date. MidAmerican Energy currently anticipates its income tax cash flows for 2013 to remain substantially below 2012 due primarily to the timing differences noted above.

Investing Activities

MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from investing activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were $(588) million and $(446) million, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from investing activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were $(588) million and $(445) million, respectively. Net cash flows from investing activities consist almost entirely of utility construction expenditures, which increased for 2013 principally due to expenditures for the construction of emissions control equipment at three of MidAmerican Energy's jointly owned generating units and the construction of wind-powered generating facilities. Purchases and proceeds related to available-for-sale securities consist of activity within the Quad Cities Generating Station nuclear decommissioning trust.

35

Financing Activities

MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from financing activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $787 million and $(284) million, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from financing activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were $801 million and $(269) million, respectively. In September 2013, MidAmerican Energy issued $350 million of its 2.40% First Mortgage Bonds due March 2019, $250 million of its 3.70% First Mortgage Bonds due September 2023 and $350 million of its 4.80% First Mortgage Bonds due September 2043. The net proceeds will be used for the repayment of $669 million of long-term debt maturing December 31, 2013, and for general corporate purposes. In January 2013, MidAmerican Energy paid common dividends of $125 million to MHC Inc. and, in April 2013, paid $28 million for the redemption of all outstanding shares of its preferred securities. In June 2012, MidAmerican Energy redeemed $275 million of its 5.125% senior notes due January 2013. MidAmerican Funding paid $111 million in 2013 and received $15 million in 2012 through its note payable with MEHC.

Debt Authorizations and Related Matters

MidAmerican Energy has authority from the FERC to issue through October 30, 2014, commercial paper and bank notes aggregating $600 million at interest rates not to exceed the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a spread of 400 basis points. MidAmerican Energy has a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility expiring in March 2018. MidAmerican Energy may request that the banks extend the credit facility up to two years. The credit facility, which supports MidAmerican Energy's commercial paper program and its variable-rate tax-exempt bond obligations and provides for the issuance of letters of credit, has a variable interest rate based on LIBOR or a base rate, at MidAmerican Energy's option, plus a spread that varies based on MidAmerican Energy's credit ratings for its senior unsecured long-term debt securities. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy has a $5 million unsecured credit facility for general corporate purposes.

MidAmerican Energy terminated its existing registration statement and plans to file a new registration statement on Form S-3 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2013. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy has authorization from the FERC to issue through August 30, 2015, long-term securities totaling up to $300 million at interest rates not to exceed the applicable United States Treasury rate plus a spread of 200 basis points. Regarding multiple-year capital projects, MidAmerican Energy has authorizations from the ICC, expiring December 19, 2015, to issue up to an aggregate of $550 million of long-term debt securities.

In conjunction with the March 1999 merger, MidAmerican Energy committed to the IUB to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain an investment grade rating on its long-term debt and to maintain its common equity level above 42% of total capitalization unless circumstances beyond its control result in the common equity level decreasing to below 39% of total capitalization. MidAmerican Energy must seek the approval of the IUB of a reasonable utility capital structure if MidAmerican Energy's common equity level decreases below 42% of total capitalization, unless the decrease is beyond the control of MidAmerican Energy. MidAmerican Energy is also required to seek the approval of the IUB if MidAmerican Energy's equity level decreases to below 39%, even if the decrease is due to circumstances beyond the control of MidAmerican Energy. If MidAmerican Energy's common equity level were to drop below the required thresholds, MidAmerican Energy's ability to issue debt could be restricted. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy's common equity ratio was 52% computed on a basis consistent with its commitment.

Future Uses of Cash

MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding have available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the issuance of commercial paper, the use of unsecured revolving credit facilities, and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding have access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including their credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital market, including the condition of the utility industry.

36

Utility Construction Expenditures

MidAmerican Energy's primary need for capital is utility construction expenditures. Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; impacts to customers' rates; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital. Prudently incurred expenditures for compliance-related items such as pollution-control technologies, replacement generation, nuclear decommissioning and associated operating costs are generally incorporated into MidAmerican Energy's regulated retail rates.

MidAmerican Energy's forecasted utility construction expenditures, which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, are approximately $1.1 billion for 2013 and include:

• $391 million for the construction of 1,050 MW (nominal ratings) of wind-powered generating facilities expected to be placed in service in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Refer to additional discussion below.

• $187 million for emissions control equipment, primarily at George Neal Energy Center Units 3 and 4 and Ottumwa Generating Station to meet air quality targets, including the reduction of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions.

• $67 million for transmission system investments, including $25 million for Multi-Value Projects ("MVPs) approved by the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. ("MISO") for the construction of 245 miles of 345 kV transmission line located in Iowa and Illinois. MidAmerican Energy has entered into a contract totaling $342 million related to its MVPs approved by MISO with minimum payments of $17 million in 2013, $140 million in 2014, $149 million in 2015 and $36 million in 2016.

• $17 million for other generation development projects.

• Remaining amounts are for ongoing investments in distribution, generation and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.

In August 2013, the IUB approved a settlement agreement between MidAmerican Energy and the Iowa Office of Consumer Advocate for ratemaking principles related to the construction of up to 1,050 MW (nominal ratings) of additional wind-powered generating facilities. The settlement agreement establishes a cost cap of $1.9 billion, including AFUDC, for the construction of 1,050 MW (nominal ratings) of wind-powered generating facilities and provides for a fixed rate of return on equity of 11.625% over the proposed 30-year useful lives of those facilities in any future Iowa rate proceeding. The cost cap ensures that, as long as total costs are below the cap, the investment will be deemed prudent in any future Iowa rate proceeding. Until such time as these generation assets are reflected in rates, and ceasing thereafter, MidAmerican Energy proposes reductions in the energy adjustment clause recoveries proposed in its current Iowa electric rate request of $3 million in 2015, $7 million in 2016 and $10 million for each calendar year thereafter, conditioned upon MidAmerican Energy having completed at least 350 MW (nominal ratings) of wind-powered generating facilities pursuant to the settlement agreement. MidAmerican Energy has entered into contracts totaling $1.3 billion related to these projects. Minimum payments are expected to be $343 million in 2013, $522 million in 2014 and $447 million in 2015. MidAmerican Energy expects all of these wind-powered generating facilities to qualify for federal production tax credits.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2013, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7 of their Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2012, other than the 2013 debt issuance and capital expenditures matters previously discussed.

37

Regulatory Matters

In May 2013, MidAmerican Energy filed a request with the IUB for an increase in Iowa retail electric rates. MidAmerican Energy began collecting interim rates in the third quarter of 2013, as approved by the IUB. The interim rates are being collected subject to refund pending a final decision by the IUB on MidAmerican Energy's requested rate increase. If approved, the proposed rate increase would be phased in over approximately three years and would result in equal annualized increases in revenues of $45 million, or 3.6%, above current rates, effective with the start of interim rates and again on January 1, 2015 and 2016, for a total annualized increase of $135 million when fully implemented. In addition to the request for an increase in base rates, the filing contains a request for the creation of two new adjustment clauses to be effective with the implementation of final approved rates. One clause would be for the recovery of changes in certain energy production related costs such as fuel, fuel transportation and the impacts of the production tax credit. The second clause would be for recovery of certain electric transmission charges. The filing also proposes a revenue sharing mechanism similar to that in place at MidAmerican Energy for a number of years that shares with customers revenues related to equity returns above 11.5%. A final decision by the IUB on MidAmerican Energy's request is expected by the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Since 2010, MidAmerican Energy has been investigating the possible development of a nuclear generation facility. MidAmerican Energy has completed its investigation and concluded that it is currently premature to pursue any additional site work on a nuclear facility. MidAmerican Energy submitted its assessment to the IUB in June 2013. In support of such an investigation, Iowa law provided for recovery of the cost of this effort from MidAmerican Energy's Iowa customers over three years beginning in October 2010, subject to the review of the IUB.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

MidAmerican Energy is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air and water quality, emissions performance standards, climate change, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by the EPA and various other state and local agencies. All such laws and regulations are subject to a range of interpretation, which may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and MidAmerican Energy is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and financial results. MidAmerican Energy believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for discussion of MidAmerican Energy's forecasted environmental-related capital expenditures. The discussion below contains material developments to those matters disclosed in Item 7 of MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Clean Air Act Regulations

The Clean Air Act is a federal law administered by the EPA that provides a framework for protecting and improving the nation's air quality and controlling sources of air emissions. The implementation of new standards is generally outlined in State Implementation Plans ("SIPs"), which are a collection of regulations, programs and policies to be followed. SIPs vary by state and are subject to public hearings and EPA approval. Some states may adopt additional or more stringent requirements than those implemented by the EPA.

In anticipation of the April 16, 2015, Mercury and Air Toxics Standards ("MATS") compliance deadline, MidAmerican Energy evaluated each of its coal-fueled generating units for compliance with the MATS emission limits. Due to the MATS compliance costs, MidAmerican Energy plans to retire four coal-fueled generating units by March 31, 2015. These units are Walter Scott, Jr. Energy Center Units 1 and 2 and George Neal Energy Center Units 1 and 2. A fifth unit, Riverside Generating Station, will be limited to natural gas combustion by March 31, 2015. The units being retired produced 2.2 million MWh of electricity, or 7% of MidAmerican Energy's owned generation production, during 2012. These planned retirements are independent of and precede the April 2016 deadline by which these five units are required to stop burning solid fuel arising from the consent decree MidAmerican Energy previously agreed to with the Sierra Club.

38

National Ambient Air Quality Standards

In June 2010, the EPA finalized a new national ambient air quality standard for sulfur dioxide. Under the new rule, the existing 24-hour and annual standards for sulfur dioxide, which were 140 parts per billion measured over 24 hours and 30 parts per billion measured over an entire year, were replaced with a new one-hour standard of 75 parts per billion. The new rule utilizes a three-year average to determine attainment. The rule utilizes source modeling in addition to the installation of ambient monitors where sulfur dioxide emissions impact populated areas. Attainment designations were due by June 2012; however, due to the lack of sufficient information to make the designations, the EPA extended the deadline for area designations to June 2013. The EPA issued its final designations in July 2013 and determined that a portion of Muscatine County, Iowa was in nonattainment for the one-hour sulfur dioxide standard. MidAmerican Energy's Louisa coal-fueled generating facility is located just outside of Muscatine County, south of the violating monitor. In its final designation, the EPA indicated that it was not yet prepared to conclude that the emissions from the Louisa coal-fueled generating facility contribute to the monitored violation or to other possible violations and that in a subsequent round of designations the EPA will make decisions for areas and sources outside Muscatine County. MidAmerican Energy does not believe a subsequent nonattainment designation will have a material impact on the Louisa coal-fueled generating facility.

Climate Change

GHG Performance Standards

Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA may establish emissions standards that reflect the degree of emissions reductions achievable through the best technology that has been demonstrated, taking into consideration the cost of achieving those reductions and any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements. The EPA entered into a settlement agreement with a number of parties, including certain state governments and environmental groups, in December 2010 to promulgate emissions standards covering GHG. In April 2012, the EPA proposed new source performance standards for new fossil-fueled generating facilities that would limit emissions of carbon dioxide to 1,000 pounds per MWh. In June 2013, the President announced a national climate change strategy and issued a presidential memorandum requiring the EPA to issue a re-proposed GHG new source performance standard for fossil-fueled generating facilities by September 2013. Rather than re-propose the April 2012 proposal, the EPA issued a new proposal. The September 2013 GHG new source performance standards released by the EPA set different standards for coal-fueled and natural gas-fueled generating facilities. The proposed standard for natural gas-fueled generating facilities considers the size of the unit and the electricity sent to the grid from the unit, establishing a standard of 1,000 to 1,100 pounds of carbon dioxide per MWh. The standard proposed for coal-fueled generating facilities is 1,100 pounds of carbon dioxide per MWh on an annual basis or 1,000 to 1,050 pounds of carbon dioxide per MWh averaged over a seven-year period, both of which would require partial carbon capture and sequestration. The proposed standards have not yet been published in the Federal Register; once they are published, a 60-day public comment period will commence prior to the EPA finalizing the standard. Any new fossil-fueled generating facilities constructed by MidAmerican Energy will be required to meet the final GHG new source performance standards.

In addition to requiring the EPA to re-propose standards for new fossil-fueled sources, the presidential memorandum requires the EPA to propose standards or guidelines for existing and modified fossil-fueled generating facilities by June 2014, to finalize those standards or guidelines by June 2015, and to require states to submit SIPs that comply with those standards or guidelines by June 2016. The EPA has scheduled listening sessions in its regional offices during October and November 2013 to gather pre-rulemaking input into the existing source standards or guidelines and has issued a five-page framing document to gather stakeholder feedback. Until the standards or guidelines for existing, modified or reconstructed units are proposed and finalized, the impact on MidAmerican Energy's existing facilities cannot be determined.

GHG Litigation

In October 2009, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California ("Northern District of California") granted the defendants' motions to dismiss in the case of Native Village of Kivalina v. ExxonMobil Corporation, et al. The plaintiffs filed their complaint in February 2008, asserting claims against 24 defendants, including electric generating companies, oil companies and a coal company, for public nuisance under state and federal common law based on the defendants' GHG emissions. MEHC was a named defendant in the Kivalina case. The Northern District of California dismissed all of the plaintiffs' federal claims, holding that the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to hear the claims under the political question doctrine, and that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring their claims. The Northern District of California declined to hear the state law claims and the case was dismissed without prejudice to their future presentation in an appropriate state court. In November 2009, the plaintiffs appealed the case to the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ("Ninth Circuit"). In September 2012, the Ninth Circuit issued its opinion affirming the Northern District of California's dismissal of the plaintiffs' complaint. The Ninth Circuit held that the Clean Air Act displaced the plaintiffs' federal common law claims. In October 2012, the plaintiffs filed a petition for a full rehearing by the Ninth Circuit, which was denied by the Ninth Circuit in November 2012. In February 2013, the plaintiffs filed a petition with the United States Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit's decision. In May 2013, the United States Supreme Court denied the petition.

Collateral and Contingent Features

Debt securities of MidAmerican Energy are rated by credit rating agencies. Assigned credit ratings are based on each rating agency's assessment of MidAmerican Energy's ability to, in general, meet the obligations of its issued debt securities. The credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and there is no assurance that a particular credit rating will continue for any given period of time. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the three recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade. As a result of the issuance of first mortgage bonds by MidAmerican Energy in September 2013, its then outstanding senior unsecured debt was equally and ratably secured with such first mortgage bonds. Refer to Note 5 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the issuance of the first mortgage bonds.

MidAmerican Funding and MidAmerican Energy have no credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of its outstanding debt, and a change in ratings is not an event of default under the applicable debt instruments. MidAmerican Energy's unsecured revolving credit facilities do not require the maintenance of a minimum credit rating level in order to draw upon its availability. However, commitment fees and interest rates under the credit facilities are tied to credit ratings and increase or decrease when the ratings change. A ratings downgrade could also increase the future cost of commercial paper, short- and long-term debt issuances or new credit facilities.

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base MidAmerican Energy's collateral requirements on its credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the three recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance," or in some cases terminate the contract, in the event of a material adverse change in MidAmerican Energy's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. If all credit-risk-related contingent features or adequate assurance provisions for these agreements had been triggered as of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy would have been required to post $189 million of additional collateral. MidAmerican Energy's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation, or other factors. Refer to Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of MidAmerican Energy's collateral requirements specific to its derivative contracts.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, derivatives, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement benefits, income taxes and revenue recognition - unbilled revenue. For additional discussion of MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding, see Item 7A of their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's exposure to market risk and their management of such risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2012. Refer to Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for disclosure of MidAmerican Energy's derivative positions as of September 30, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company (MidAmerican Energy or MidAmerican Funding, as applicable) carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. The nonregulated energy segment derives most of its revenue from nonregulated retail electric and gas activities. Common operating costs, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost.

The following tables provide information on a reportable segment basis (in millions):

Long-Term Debt

In September 2013, MidAmerican Energy issued $350 million of its 2.40% First Mortgage Bonds due March 2019, $250 million of its 3.70% First Mortgage Bonds due September 2023 and $350 million of its 4.80% First Mortgage Bonds due September 2043 pursuant to its indenture dated September 9, 2013, as supplemented and amended. The net proceeds will be used for the repayment of $669 million of long-term debt maturing December 31, 2013, and for general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to MidAmerican Energy's mortgage dated September 9, 2013, the first mortgage bonds are secured by a first mortgage lien on substantially all of MidAmerican Energy’s electric generating, transmission and distribution property within the State of Iowa, subject to certain exceptions and permitted encumbrances. As of September 30, 2013, 80% of MidAmerican Energy's gross utility plant in service was pledged. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy's senior notes outstanding are equally and ratably secured with the first mortgage bonds as required by the indentures under which the senior notes were issued.

Credit Facilities

In March 2013, MidAmerican Energy replaced its $530 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which had been set to expire in July 2013, with a $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility expiring in March 2018. The new credit facility, which supports MidAmerican Energy's commercial paper program and its variable-rate tax-exempt bond obligations and provides for the issuance of letters of credit, has a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate or a base rate, at MidAmerican Energy's option, plus a spread that varies based on MidAmerican Energy's credit ratings for its senior unsecured long-term debt securities. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy had no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility. The credit facility requires that MidAmerican Energy's ratio of consolidated debt, including current maturities, to total capitalization not exceed 0.65 to 1.0 as of the last day of each quarter.

(1) General

MidAmerican Funding, LLC ("MidAmerican Funding") is an Iowa limited liability company with MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company ("MEHC") as its sole member. MEHC is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway"). MidAmerican Funding's direct, wholly owned subsidiary is MHC Inc. ("MHC"), which constitutes substantially all of MidAmerican Funding's assets, liabilities and business activities except those related to MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt securities. MHC conducts no business other than the ownership of its subsidiaries and related corporate services. MHC's principal subsidiary is MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy"), a public utility with electric and natural gas operations. Direct, wholly owned nonregulated subsidiaries of MHC are Midwest Capital Group, Inc. and MEC Construction Services Co.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in MidAmerican Funding's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Funding's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 other than a change in certain of MidAmerican Energy's depreciation rates.

Fair Value, by Balance Sheet Grouping [Table Text Block]

MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of MidAmerican Funding's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt (in millions):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements [Line Items]

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

(1) General

MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy") is a public utility with electric and natural gas operations and is the principal subsidiary of MHC Inc. ("MHC"). MHC is a holding company that conducts no business other than the ownership of its subsidiaries and related corporate services. MHC's nonregulated subsidiaries include Midwest Capital Group, Inc. and MEC Construction Services Co. MHC is the direct, wholly owned subsidiary of MidAmerican Funding, LLC ("MidAmerican Funding"), which is an Iowa limited liability company with MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company ("MEHC") as its sole member. MEHC is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

The unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013, and for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements included in MidAmerican Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, other than the following change in depreciation rates.

Utility Plant Depreciation Rates

During the third quarter of 2013, MidAmerican Energy revised depreciation rates for certain electric generating facilities based on the results of a new depreciation study. The new rates reflect longer estimated useful lives for wind-powered generating facilities placed in service in 2011 and 2012 and a lower accrual rate for the cost of removal regulatory liability related to coal-fueled generating facilities. The effect of these changes reduced depreciation and amortization expense by $8 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, and is estimated to be a reduction of $49 million annually based on depreciable plant balances at the time of the change.

(11) Segment Information

MidAmerican Funding has identified three reportable segments: regulated electric, regulated gas and nonregulated energy. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. The nonregulated energy segment derives most of its revenue from nonregulated retail electric and gas activities. Common operating costs, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost. "Other" in the tables below consists of the nonregulated subsidiaries of MidAmerican Funding not engaged in the energy business and parent company interest expense.

The following tables provide information on a reportable segment basis (in millions):

	2013		2012		2013		2012

Effective income tax rate	(46	)%	(26	)%	(42	)%	(36	)%

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits earned by MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity production tax credits are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities were placed in service.

MidAmerican Energy's income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, reflect $16 million of federal income tax benefits recognized in connection with an income tax method change for income tax years prior to 2012. MidAmerican Energy changed the method by which it determines current income tax deductions for repair costs related to its regulated utility electric transmission and distribution assets based on guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service. Application of this guidance results in current deductibility for those costs, which are capitalized for book purposes. MidAmerican Energy retroactively applied the method change, deducted amounts related to prior years' costs on its 2011 tax return and recognized the change in the second quarter of 2012. State utility rate regulation in Iowa requires the tax effect of certain temporary differences be flowed through immediately to customers. Therefore, certain deferred amounts that would otherwise have been recognized in income tax expense have been included as changes in regulatory assets.

Berkshire Hathaway includes MEHC and subsidiaries in its United States federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's provisions for income taxes have been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of their currently payable or receivable income taxes are remitted to or received from MEHC. MidAmerican Funding received net cash receipts for income taxes from MEHC totaling $22 million and $602 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to MidAmerican Energy's effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax benefit is as follows:

	Three-Month Periods				Nine-Month Periods
	Ended September 30,				Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012

Other, net	1		(3	)	1		(1	)
Effective income tax rate	(42	)%	(22	)%	(37	)%	(31	)%

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits earned by MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity production tax credits are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities were placed in service.

MidAmerican Energy's income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, reflect $16 million of federal income tax benefits recognized in connection with an income tax method change for income tax years prior to 2012. MidAmerican Energy changed the method by which it determines current income tax deductions for repair costs related to its regulated utility electric transmission and distribution assets based on guidance published by the Internal Revenue Service. Application of this guidance results in current deductibility for those costs, which are capitalized for book purposes. MidAmerican Energy retroactively applied the method change, deducted amounts related to prior years' costs on its 2011 tax return and recognized the change in the second quarter of 2012. State utility rate regulation in Iowa requires the tax effect of certain temporary differences be flowed through immediately to customers. Therefore, certain deferred amounts that would otherwise have been recognized in income tax expense have been included as changes in regulatory assets.

Berkshire Hathaway includes MEHC and subsidiaries in its United States federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Energy's provision for income taxes has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income taxes are remitted to or received from MEHC. MidAmerican Energy received net cash receipts for income taxes from MEHC totaling $17 million and $596 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 405, "Liabilities." The amendments in this guidance require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date as the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay plus any additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligor. Additionally, the guidance requires the entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about those obligations. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. MidAmerican Energy is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Financial Statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, which amends FASB ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." The amendments in this guidance require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required by GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. MidAmerican Energy adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on MidAmerican Energy's disclosures included within Notes to Financial Statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, which amends FASB ASC Topic 210, "Balance Sheet." The amendments in this guidance require an entity to provide quantitative disclosures about offsetting financial instruments and derivative instruments. Additionally, this guidance requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures about master netting agreements or similar agreements when the financial instruments and derivative instruments are not offset. In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, which also amends FASB ASC Topic 210 to clarify that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 only applies to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements, reverse purchase agreements and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either being offset or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. MidAmerican Energy adopted the guidance on January 1, 2013. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on MidAmerican Energy's disclosures included within Notes to Financial Statements.

(9) Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of MidAmerican Energy's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. MidAmerican Energy has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

• Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that MidAmerican Energy has the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 — Inputs 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 inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect MidAmerican Energy's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. MidAmerican Energy develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

The following table presents MidAmerican Energy's assets and liabilities recognized on the Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

(1) Represents netting under master netting arrangements and a net cash collateral receivable of $4 million and $7 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

(2) Amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents and investments and nonregulated property, net on the Balance Sheets. The fair value of these money market mutual funds approximates cost.

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which MidAmerican Energy transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, MidAmerican Energy uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent MidAmerican Energy's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. MidAmerican Energy bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent energy brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by MidAmerican Energy. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of MidAmerican Energy's outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, MidAmerican Energy's forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contract. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, MidAmerican Energy uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion regarding MidAmerican Energy's risk management and hedging activities.

MidAmerican Energy's investments in money market mutual funds and debt and equity securities are accounted for as available-for-sale securities and are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics. The fair value of MidAmerican Energy's investments in auction rate securities, where there is no current liquid market, is determined using pricing models based on available observable market data and MidAmerican Energy's judgment about the assumptions, including liquidity and nonperformance risks, which market participants would use when pricing the asset.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of MidAmerican Energy's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs (in millions):

(1) Changes included in earnings are reported as nonregulated operating revenue on the Statements of Operations. For commodity derivatives held as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, net unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, totaled $1 million and $(2) million, respectively, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, totaled $- million and $3 million, respectively.

MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Financial Statements. The fair value of MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of MidAmerican Energy's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt (in millions):

	As of September 30, 2013				As of December 31, 2012

(8) Risk Management and Hedging Activities

MidAmerican Energy is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. MidAmerican Energy is principally exposed to electricity, natural gas, coal and fuel oil commodity price risk as it has an obligation to serve retail customer load in its regulated service territory. MidAmerican Energy also provides nonregulated retail electricity and natural gas services in competitive markets. MidAmerican Energy's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity, wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold, and natural gas supply for retail customers. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather; market liquidity; generating facility availability; customer usage; storage; and transmission and transportation constraints. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. MidAmerican Energy does not engage in a material amount of proprietary trading activities.

MidAmerican Energy has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, assess, monitor, report, manage and mitigate each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, MidAmerican Energy uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. MidAmerican Energy manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk. MidAmerican Energy does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices.

There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Note 9 for additional information on derivative contracts.

The following table, which reflects master netting arrangements and excludes contracts that have been designated as normal under the normal purchases or normal sales exception afforded by GAAP, summarizes the fair value of MidAmerican Energy's derivative contracts, on a gross basis, and reconciles those amounts to the amounts presented on a net basis on the Balance Sheets (in millions):

Realized gains and losses on hedges and hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in income as nonregulated operating revenue or nonregulated cost of sales depending upon the nature of the item being hedged. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy had cash flow hedges with expiration dates extending through December 2017, and $14 million of pre-tax net unrealized losses are forecasted to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next twelve months as contracts settle.

Derivative Contract Volumes

The following table summarizes the net notional amounts of outstanding commodity derivative contracts with fixed price terms that comprise the mark-to-market values as of (in millions):

Credit Risk

MidAmerican Energy extends unsecured credit to other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants in conjunction with its wholesale energy supply and marketing activities. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that might occur as a result of nonperformance by counterparties on their contractual obligations to make or take delivery of electricity, natural gas or other commodities and to make financial settlements of these obligations. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent that one or more groups of counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in market or other conditions. In addition, credit risk includes not only the risk that a counterparty may default due to circumstances relating directly to it, but also the risk that a counterparty may default due to circumstances involving other market participants that have a direct or indirect relationship with the counterparty.

MidAmerican Energy analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty before entering into any transactions, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To mitigate exposure to the financial risks of wholesale counterparties, MidAmerican Energy enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtains third-party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. Counterparties may be assessed fees for delayed payments. If required, MidAmerican Energy exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

MidAmerican Energy also has potential indirect credit exposure to other market participants in the regional transmission organization ("RTO") markets where it actively participates, including the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. and the PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. In the event of a default by a RTO market participant on its market-related obligations, losses are allocated among all other market participants in proportion to each participant's share of overall market activity during the period of time the loss was incurred, diversifying MidAmerican Energy's exposure to credit losses from individual participants. Transactional activities of MidAmerican Energy and other participants in organized RTO markets are governed by credit policies specified in each respective RTO's governing tariff or related business practices. Credit policies of RTO's, which have been developed through extensive stakeholder participation, generally seek to minimize potential loss in the event of a market participant default without unnecessarily inhibiting access to the marketplace. MidAmerican Energy's share of historical losses from defaults by other RTO market participants has not been material.

Collateral and Contingent Features

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale derivative contracts contain credit support provisions that in part base MidAmerican Energy's collateral requirements on its credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the three recognized credit rating agencies. These derivative contracts may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance," or in some cases terminate the contract, in the event of a material adverse change in MidAmerican Energy's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of September 30, 2013, MidAmerican Energy's credit ratings from the three recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.

The aggregate fair value of MidAmerican Energy's derivative contracts in liability positions with specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $53 million and $84 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, for which MidAmerican Energy had posted collateral of $- million. If all credit-risk-related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, MidAmerican Energy would have been required to post $42 million and $72 million, respectively, of additional collateral. MidAmerican Energy's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation, or other factors.
