has been prepared by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. pursuant to Rule <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13p-1</FONT> (the &#147;Rule&#148;) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Rule currently designates tin, tantalum,
tungsten, and gold (referred to herein as &#147;3TG&#148;), and their ores, as &#147;conflict minerals.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is a holding
company owning subsidiaries engaged in numerous diverse business activities. The most important of these are insurance businesses conducted on both a primary basis and a reinsurance basis, a freight rail transportation business and a group of
utility and energy generation and distribution businesses. Berkshire also owns and operates numerous other businesses engaged in a variety of activities, such as manufacturing, service and retailing. Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and its subsidiaries may
be referred to as &#147;Berkshire,&#148; &#147;we&#148; or &#147;our&#148; in this report. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The majority of Berkshire&#146;s operating businesses
(representing over 90% of our consolidated revenues and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> earnings, excluding investment gains/losses) are not manufacturers, or do not manufacture products containing conflict minerals that are
necessary to the functionality or production of those products (&#147;necessary 3TG&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Several of our remaining subsidiaries manufacture one or more
products containing necessary 3TG, including various industrial, consumer and building products, such as precision metalworking and cutting tools, jewelry, castings, forgings, fasteners systems, aerostructures, seamless pipe, wire and cable,
agricultural processing, highway transportation products and equipment, aviation training equipment, electrical components, manufactured homes and recreational vehicles, as well as certain other products. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The manufacturing operations producing the products mentioned above are considered downstream in the supply chain, in which certain materials and components
containing necessary 3TG are acquired from others. Those materials and components are then integrated into the products we manufacture. Often, the components containing necessary 3TG are minor relative to the product as a whole. The supply chains
for such materials and components may involve one or more intermediaries, such as distributors or third-party components manufacturers. As a result, supply chains can be extended with respect to individual components, and there are generally
multiple tiers between our direct suppliers and any 3TG mines, smelters or refiners potentially in our supply chain. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As downstream manufacturers, our
efforts to determine the sources of necessary 3TG are fundamentally dependent on the cooperation of our direct suppliers and, in turn, on their upstream suppliers within the supply chain. Obtaining conflict mineral source information through the
supply chain can be difficult depending on the length of the supply chain and the supplier&#146;s ability and willingness to provide such information. </P>
