| |  | A quota-share agreement entered into in 1985 whereby Wes-FIC
    effectively reinsured  through the Berkshire
    Insurance Group, as intermediary-without-profit  2%
    of essentially all insurance business of a major property and
    casualty insurer written during a four-year coverage period that
    expired in 1989. Wes-FIC remains liable for its share of
    remaining unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
|
| |  | A multi-year, quota-share arrangement, entered into in 2000
    through NICO, as intermediary without profit, for participation
    in a pool of certain property and casualty risks written by a
    large, unaffiliated insurer, under which Wes-FICs
    participation increased from approximately 3.3% of certain risks
    associated with policy years 2000 through 2002 to 6% of certain
    risks thereafter. The terms of this arrangement were identical
    to those accepted by a member of the Berkshire Insurance Group,
    except as to the amount of the participation. This arrangement
    was commuted (terminated) in the fourth quarter of 2004.
    Thus, Wes-FIC is no longer liable for any claims or losses, or
    for adjustments to losses previously recorded, under the
    contract.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
|
| |  | Participation in several risk pools managed by a subsidiary of
    General Reinsurance Corporation, a Berkshire Insurance Group
    member, covering hull, liability, workers compensation and
    satellite exposures relating to the aviation industry, as
    follows: with respect to 2001, to the extent of 3% for each
    pool, with satellite exposures effective June 1; for 2002, 13%
    of the hull and liability pools, increasing to 15.5% in August,
    and 3% of the workers compensation pool (satellite
    exposures were not renewed in June); for 2003 and 2004, 10% of
    the hull and liability pools only; and, for 2005, 10% of the
    hull and liability pools and 5% of the workers
    compensation pool. For 2006, the participation in hull and
    liability pools has increased to 12.5%. Another General
    Reinsurance Corporation subsidiary provides a portion of the
    upper-level reinsurance protection to these aviation risk pools,
    and therefore to Wes-FIC, on terms that could cause some
    conflict of interest under certain conditions, such as in
    settling a large loss. Wes- FICs exposure to detrimental
    effects, however, is mitigated because a senior manager of NICO
    who represents the membership interests of Wes-FIC, and
    unrelated pool members representing an additional 75% of the
    hull and liability pools and 90% of the workers
    compensation pool who have the same exposures to this potential
    conflict of interest, have access to information regarding
    significant losses and thus are able to address conflict issues
    that might arise.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors




Wesco is dependent for its investment and all other
capital allocation decisions on a few key people.




15



---



##### 



Unless Wesco can reinvest a large amount currently
invested in cash equivalents at attractive returns, future
returns on shareholders equity will probably be less than
those of the past.




Wescos Wes-FIC subsidiary is dependent upon the
Berkshire Insurance Group for its management and personnel, and
for opportunities to participate with the Group in reinsurance
contracts representing essentially the entirety of its
reinsurance business, as well as a significant portion of its
insurance business to date.




Wescos tolerance for risk in its insurance
businesses may result in a high degree of volatility in periodic
reported earnings.




The degree of estimation error inherent in the process of
estimating property and casualty insurance loss reserves may
result in a high degree of volatility in periodic reported
earnings.




16



---



##### 



Wescos insurance subsidiaries investments are
unusually concentrated.




Each of Wescos operating businesses faces intense
competitive pressures.










In addition to the foregoing risk factors inherent in
Wescos operations, Wescos shareholders face a market
liquidity risk because the daily trading volume of Wescos
shares on the American Stock Exchange and Pacific Stock Exchange
is relatively low.




An investment in Wesco is not an investment in Berkshire
Hathaway.

| | Reinsurance  Wes-FICs property
    and casualty loss reserves derive from individual risk,
    multi-line and catastrophe reinsurance policies. Reserve amounts
    are based upon loss estimates reported by ceding companies,
    whose reserving techniques vary. Wes-FIC necessarily relies in
    part on the judgment of ceding companies management, to
    which Wes-FIC management may add additional IBNR reserves, which
    are primarily a function of reported losses from ceding
    companies and anticipated loss ratios established on an
    individual contract basis based on Wes-FIC managements
    judgment as to the likely impact on each contract of major
    events as they become known or the history of loss reserving by
    the ceding companies. Ceding companies report minimal detail to
    their reinsurers, such as data about most individual claims,
    case and IBNR reserves, dismissals and settlements. Ranges of
    reserve amounts as a result of changes in underlying assumptions
    are not prepared.
|
| | Primary insurance  Property and
    casualty loss reserves from Wescos primary insurance
    activities derive from individual risk policies written by KBS.
    Reserve amounts are estimated by its management on a
    case-by-case basis, and estimates of IBNR reserves, which
    amounted to $7.1 million at yearend 2005, 2004 and 2003,
    are based on managements judgment of the impact of current
    trends and other factors. Because of the low volume of losses
    reported annually, KBS management is intimately familiar with
    each, negating the need for extended actuarial studies and broad
    estimates of the nature typically performed by large primary
    insurers whose business volume requires such procedures for the
    development of their loss data. A range of reserve amounts as a
    result of changes in underlying assumptions is not prepared.
