Transfer of Nonregulated Energy Operations

In the second quarter of 2015, MidAmerican Energy filed with the IUB and ICC for approval to transfer the assets and liabilities of its unregulated retail services business in a common control transaction to a subsidiary of BHE. MidAmerican Energy's request was approved by the IUB in July 2015 and by the ICC in October 2015. The transfer, which was effective January 1, 2016, was made at MidAmerican Energy’s carrying value of the assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2015, and was recorded by MidAmerican Energy as a dividend. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, the financial results of the unregulated retail services business consisted of net assets of $88 million, operating revenue of $905 million, operating income of $22 million, net income of $16 million and cash flows from operating activities of $30 million.
