Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholder of

Financial Guaranty Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of Financial Guaranty Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Financial Guaranty Insurance Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2007

(Dollars in
thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Business and Organization

Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (FGIC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of FGIC Corporation (FGIC Corp.). The Company provides financial guaranty insurance and other forms of credit enhancement for public finance and
structured finance obligations. FGIC typically guarantees the scheduled payments of principal and interest on an issuers obligations when due. FGIC is licensed to write financial guaranty insurance in all 50 states, the District of Columbia,
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and, through a branch, the United Kingdom. In addition, FGIC UK Limited, a wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary of FGIC (FGIC UK Ltd) is authorized to write financial guaranty business in
the United Kingdom and has passport rights to write business in other European Union member countries. When credit enhancement is provided in credit default swap (CDS) form, the CDS are entered into by FGIC Credit Products, LLC (FGIC Credit
Products), a wholly owned subsidiary of FGIC. As used in these notes, the term Company refers to FGIC and its subsidiaries.

The PMI Group,
Inc. (PMI) is the largest stockholder of FGIC Corp., owning approximately 42% of its common stock at December 31, 2007 and 2006. Affiliates of the Blackstone Group L.P. (Blackstone), the Cypress Group L.L.C. (Cypress) and CIVC Partners
L.P. (CIVC) owned approximately 23%, 23% and 7% of FGIC Corp.s common stock, respectively, at December 31, 2007 and 2006. As of December 31, 2007, an affiliate of General Electric Capital Corp. (GE Capital) owned 2,346 shares, or
100%, of FGIC Corp.s senior participating mandatorily convertible modified preferred stock (the Senior Preferred Shares), with an aggregate liquidation preference of $301,921 and approximately 5% of FGIC Corp.s outstanding common stock.

2. Recent Developments

The recent deterioration in
the U.S. housing and mortgage markets and the global credit markets, which accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2007, has adversely affected the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition. As described below, (i) the
Companys financial strength and credit ratings were recently downgraded by various rating agencies and (ii) for the fourth quarter of 2007 significant loss reserves were established for the Companys exposure to certain
collateralized debt obligations of asset-backed securities (ABS CDOs), which are backed primarily by subprime residential mortgage-backed securities, and to certain residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), primarily backed by second-lien
mortgages.

2. Recent Developments (continued)

As a result of these developments, the Company has ceased writing new business for a period of time to
preserve capital and is considering various alternatives to enhance its capital, restructure its operations and mitigate losses. However, no assurance can be given that any action taken by the Company will improve its current ratings, that further
rating downgrades will not occur, or that the Company will be able to recommence writing new business in the near term or at all.

FGIC has proposed a
significant restructuring of its insurance operations to the New York State Insurance Department (the NYSID), including the organization of a new financial guaranty insurer to be domiciled in New York to provide support for global public finance and
infrastructure obligations previously insured by FGIC and to write new business to serve those markets. Any restructuring will require approval from the NYSID, among other requirements, and significant new capital investment. No assurance can be
given that such restructuring or investment will be completed.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2007, FGICs financial strength was rated
Aaa by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys), AAA by Standard & Poors Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (S&P), and AAA by Fitch Ratings, Inc (Fitch).
Moodys, S&P and Fitch have since completed several assessments of FGICs capital adequacy in relation to the Companys exposure to ABS CDOs which are backed primarily by subprime RMBS, and its exposure to first-lien and
second-lien RMBS. As a result of these assessments, Moodys, S&P and Fitch downgraded the financial strength ratings of FGIC and FGIC UK Ltd. In connection with these downgrades, Moodys, S&P and Fitch also downgraded the ratings
of the Money Market Committed Preferred Custodial Trust Securities (CPS Securities) issued by Grand Central Capital Trusts I - VI (see Note 18). These ratings as of March 14, 2008 are summarized in the table below.

2. Recent Developments (continued)

The financial strength ratings downgrades have adversely impacted the Companys ability to generate
new business and, unless restored, will impact the Companys future business, operations and financial results.

FGIC has established statutory loss
reserves related to its exposure on certain ABS CDOs and RMBS, which has substantially reduced FGICs statutory capital and surplus position as of December 31, 2007. As a result of this reduction, as of December 31, 2007, FGICs
aggregate net liability under its insured exposures exceeded the aggregate risk limit prescribed by New York State Insurance Law and FGICs insured exposure under certain individual policies exceeded the applicable single risk limits prescribed
by New York State Insurance Law. As required by New York State Insurance Law, FGIC intends to submit a plan to the Superintendent of the NYSID detailing the steps that FGIC has taken and will seek to take to reduce its exposure to loss to no more
than the permitted amounts. Following the submission of such plan, after notice and hearing, the Superintendent could require FGIC to cease transacting any new financial guaranty business until its exposure to loss no longer exceeds said limits. As
noted above, FGIC has already voluntarily ceased writing new business for a period of time to preserve capital.

As a result of establishing loss reserves
related to its potential exposure on certain ABS CDOs, the statutory capital and surplus of FGIC UK Ltd as of December 31, 2007, fell below certain minimum statutory requirements. FGIC UK Ltd is prohibited from writing new business until the
shortfall is corrected. FGIC UK Ltd intends to submit a plan to its primary regulator to address this shortfall.

FGICs ability to pay dividends to
FGIC Corp. is subject to restrictions contained in the New York Insurance Law (see Note 16). Due to FGICs statutory earned surplus deficit at December 31, 2007, FGIC does not currently have the capacity to pay dividends without the prior
approval of the NYSID.

3. Basis of Presentation

The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FGIC and all other entities in which FGIC has a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated.

3. Basis of Presentation (continued)

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates, and those differences could be material.

Certain 2006 and 2005 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Companys
significant accounting policies are as follows:

a. Investments

All of the Companys fixed maturity securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at fair value on the trade date. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, in the consolidated statements of stockholders equity. Short-term investments are carried at fair value, which approximates cost.

Bond discounts and premiums are amortized over the remaining terms of the respective securities. Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are determined based on the specific identification method.

Securities that have been determined to be other than temporarily impaired are reduced to realizable value, establishing a new cost basis, with a charge
to realized loss at such date.

b. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all bank deposits, highly liquid securities and certificates of deposit with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. These cash equivalents are carried at cost, which
approximates fair value.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

c. Premium Revenue Recognition

Direct and assumed premiums are received either up-front or over time on an installment basis. The premium collection method is determined at the time the policy is
issued.

Up-front premiums are paid in full at the inception of a policy and are earned over the period of risk based upon the principal and interest
amortized during the period as compared to the original principal and interest outstanding. Installment premiums, including premiums received on CDSs (see Note 8) are collected periodically and are reflected in income pro rata over the payment
period.

Gross direct and assumed premiums written for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 include $3,639, $15,989 and $965,
respectively, of assumed premiums written.

Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums received applicable to future periods on insurance policies
in force. When an obligation insured by the Company is refunded by the issuer prior to the end of the expected policy coverage period, any remaining unearned premium is recognized. A refunding occurs when an insured obligation is retired or legally
defeased prior to stated maturity.

Premiums earned on refundings were $43,717, $41,836, and $54,795 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and
2005, respectively.

Ceded premiums are recognized in a manner consistent with the premium earned on the underlying policies.

d. Policy Acquisition Costs

Policy acquisition costs include only
those expenses that relate directly to and vary with premium production. Such costs include compensation of employees involved in marketing, underwriting and policy issuance functions, rating agency fees, premium taxes, ceding commissions paid on
assumed policies and certain other expenses.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In determining policy acquisition costs, the Company must estimate and allocate
the percentage of its costs and expenses that are attributable to premium production. Policy acquisition costs, net of ceding commission income on premiums ceded to reinsurers, are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums
are earned.

Anticipated loss and loss adjustment expenses, future maintenance costs on in-force business and net investment income are considered in
determining the recoverability of acquisition costs.

e. Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves

Provision for loss and loss adjustment expenses falls into two categories: case reserves and watchlist reserves. Case reserves are established for the value of estimated
losses on specific non-derivative public finance and structured finance insured obligations that are currently or likely to be in payment default and for which future loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The amounts of these reserves
are determined using internally developed models and represent an estimate of the present value of the anticipated shortfall between (1) payments on insured obligations plus anticipated loss adjustment expenses and (2) anticipated cash
flow from, and proceeds to be received on, sales of any collateral supporting the obligation and/or other anticipated recoveries. The discount rate used in calculating the net present value of estimated losses is based upon the risk-free rate for
the duration of the anticipated shortfall. The Companys case reserve models are dependent on a number of assumptions that require management to make judgments about the outcome of future events using historical and current market data.
Significant assumptions include the liquidation value of the assets supporting the insured obligations, the volume and timing of collateral cash flows and the behavior of the underlying borrower. Changes in any significant assumptions from time to
time will affect the Companys case reserves and financial results, possibly materially.

The Company establishes watchlist reserves to recognize the
potential for claims against the Company on insured obligations that are not currently in payment default, but that have migrated to an impaired level where there is a substantially increased probability of default. These reserves reflect a
reasonable estimate of probable loss given evidence of impairment, and a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss given default. The methodology for establishing and calculating the watchlist reserve relies on a categorization and assessment of the
probability of default, and loss severity in the event of default, of the specific impaired obligations on the Companys watchlist based on historical trends and other factors. Watchlist reserves are adjusted as necessary to reflect changes in
the loss expectation inherent in the group of impaired credits.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Loss reserves and loss adjustment expenses are regularly reviewed and updated
based on claim payments and the results of ongoing insured portfolio surveillance. The Company conducts ongoing insured portfolio surveillance seeking to identify a complete population of impaired obligations and enable the Company to establish
reserves that recognize potential losses for each accounting period.

The Companys loss reserves are necessarily based upon estimates and subjective
judgments by management, including estimates and judgments with respect to the probability of default, the severity of loss upon default and the outcome of other future events. As such, the ultimate liability associated with claims will likely
differ, possibly materially, from estimates. Adjustments of estimates made in prior years may result in additions to or reductions of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for the period in which such adjustments are made, and those additions or
deductions could be material.

Reinsurance recoverable on losses is calculated in a manner consistent with the calculation of loss and loss adjustment
expenses.

f. Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized to reflect the tax impact attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits where the ultimate recognition is uncertain. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109(FIN 48,) on January 1, 2007 (see Note 9).

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

g. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of office furniture, fixtures, computer equipment and software and leasehold improvements that are reported at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Office furniture and fixtures are depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated service lives or over the life of the lease, whichever is shorter. Computer equipment and
software are depreciated over three years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company capitalizes certain computer software
and development costs when incurred in connection with developing or obtaining computer software for internal use. Capitalized software costs are amortized over three years.

h. Foreign Currency Translation

The Company has an established foreign branch and three subsidiaries in the United
Kingdom and insured exposure from a former branch in France. The Company has determined that the functional currencies of these operations are their respective local currencies. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these operations are
translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The cumulative translation gains at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were $14,648
and $6,751, respectively, net of tax expense of $3,419 and $3,580, respectively, and are reported as separate components of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of stockholders equity.

i. Stock Compensation Plan

FGIC Corp. has a stock incentive plan
that provides for stock-based compensation, including stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Stock options are granted for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to or greater than the estimated fair value
of the common stock at the date of the grant. Restricted stock awards and units are valued at the estimated fair value of the common stock on the grant date.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for grants under this plan
in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that method, compensation cost includes all share-based compensation granted prior to, but not yet vested as of,
January 1, 2006, based on the fair value at the grant date estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). The Company has estimated the fair value of all stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing
model. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

j. Variable Interest Entities

Financial Interpretation No.46-R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(FIN 46-R), provides accounting and disclosure rules for determining whether certain
entities should be consolidated in the Companys consolidated financial statements. An entity is subject to FIN 46-R, and is called a Variable Interest Entity (VIE), if it has (i) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance
its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entitys operations or that do not absorb the majority of expected losses or receive the majority of
expected residual returns of the entity.

Under FIN 46-R, a VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that has a majority of the
expected losses of the VIE or a majority of the expected residual returns of the VIE, or both. FIN 46-R requires disclosures for companies that have either a primary or significant variable interest in a VIE. All other entities not considered VIEs
are evaluated for consolidation under SFAS No. 94, Consolidation of all Majority-Owned Subsidiaries.

As part of its structured finance
business, the Company insures debt obligations or certificates issued by special purpose entities. The Company has evaluated the relevant transactions and does not believe any such transactions require consolidation or disclosure under FIN 46-R,
other than as disclosed in Note 12.

k. Derivative Instruments

Under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, all derivative instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivatives qualify as cash flow hedges.

Certain financial guaranty contracts (primarily CDSs) issued by the Company are considered derivatives under SFAS No.133. Accordingly, these
contracts are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings. The Company considers these contracts to be a normal extension of its financial guaranty insurance
business. Under the terms of these credit derivative contracts, the Company is not required to post collateral, and if the underlying obligation were to be in default, payments would not be accelerated and would be made on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The Company records premium installments on these contracts as a component of premiums, and records claims payments, expected claims, loss and loss
adjustment expenses, and changes in fair value on these contracts as Net mark-to-market (losses) gains on credit derivative contracts in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

l. Commitments

Although commitments are not insurance policies,
commitments to issue financial guaranty insurance policies are generally accounted for in the same manner as issued insurance policies. However, fees received related to a commitment to issue a financial guaranty insurance policy are deferred until
a policy is issued, if any, and if the Company determines that it is unlikely that an insurance policy will be issued, the commitment fee received is earned over the commitment period.

m. New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements, but its application could change current practices in determining



15

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)



4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is adopting SFAS No.157 effective January 1, 2008. Adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or
results of operation.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
 Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value but does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At this time, the Company does not contemplate changing the measurement of any financial instruments not already measured at fair
value.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of
Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires reporting entities to present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity (rather than as a liability or mezzanine equity) and provides guidance on accounting for
transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS No. 160, and adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operation.

n. Review of Financial Guaranty Industry Accounting Practices

On
April 18, 2007, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft of a Proposed SFAS entitled Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The proposed statement addresses accounting for loss
reserving, premium recognition and additional disclosures regarding financial guaranty insurance contracts. Currently, the financial guaranty industry accounts for financial guaranty insurance contracts under SFAS No. 60, Accounting and
Reporting by Insurance Enterprises,which was developed prior to the emergence of the financial guaranty industry. As SFAS No. 60 does not specifically address financial guaranty contracts, there has been diversity in the manner in which
different financial guarantors account for these contracts.



16

Financial Guaranty Insurance Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)



4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The purpose of the proposed SFAS is to provide authoritative guidance on
accounting for financial guaranty contracts that are not accounted for as derivative contracts under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement
133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The final pronouncement is expected to be issued in the first quarter of 2008 with an effective date of January 1, 2009. Upon the issuance of the final pronouncement, the Company, along
with other companies in the financial guaranty industry, may be required to change certain aspects of accounting for loss reserves, premium income and disclosures.

5. Statutory Surplus and Accounting Practices

Statutory-basis surplus of FGIC at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $260,909 and
$1,130,779, respectively. Statutory-basis net (loss) income for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was ($1,502,511), $220,519 and $192,009, respectively. The Companys statutory contingency reserves were $575,785 and
$1,274,274 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Under the New York State Insurance Law, FGIC must maintain surplus to policy holders of at
least $65,000. Should FGIC be required to increase its loss reserves in future periods, this could cause FGICs surplus to fall below that minimum amount. While FGIC has additional capital resources available to it (see Note 18), there can be
no assurance that FGIC would be able to obtain sufficient capital to meet any such requirement. In the event that FGIC is unable to meet such requirement, the Superintendent of the NYSID has discretion to take various remedial actions, including
suspending FGICs ability to write new policies and seeking an order to place FGIC under regulatory control.

Statutory practices differ in some respects from GAAP. Significant accounting policies, and variances from GAAP,
where applicable, are as follows:

a. Investments

Under statutory reporting, bonds and short-term investments are stated at amortized cost. Under GAAP, bond and short-term investments are stated at fair value.

5. Statutory Surplus and Accounting Practices (continued)

Under GAAP, subsidiaries are consolidated with the Company. For statutory
reporting purposes, investments in wholly owned subsidiaries are recorded under the statutory equity method based on the underlying GAAP equity and reported as common stock investments.

Changes in the value of subsidiaries are recorded as unrealized gains and losses and reported as a component of unassigned surplus. Under statutory reporting, the reporting entity can discontinue applying the equity
method when the investment in a subsidiary is reduced to zero, and statutory reporting does not provide for additional losses unless the reporting entity has guaranteed obligations of the investee or is otherwise committed to provide further
financial support for the investee. In connection with the issuance of a CDS by FGIC Credit Products, FGIC issues a financial guaranty contract for the benefit of the counterparty guaranteeing timely payment of FGIC Credit Products payment
obligations under the CDS. For statutory purposes, FGIC accounts for the financial guaranty as insurance, and records losses as incurred.

Tax and loss
bonds are required to be stated at cost for statutory purposes. Under GAAP, tax and loss bonds are recorded as federal income tax payments.

b. Premium
Revenue Recognition

For statutory purposes, premiums collected in a single payment at a policys inception are earned in proportion to the
scheduled principal and interest payments under the policy rather than in proportion to the total exposure outstanding at any point in time, as is the case under GAAP.

c. Policy Acquisition Costs

For statutory purposes, policy acquisition costs are charged to expense as incurred;
under GAAP, they are deferred and amortized over the period during which the related premiums are earned.

d. Credit Derivative Contracts

Under GAAP, financial guaranty contracts, including the guarantee of a CDS, that guarantee the payment obligation under a derivative contract are
recorded at fair value. These financial guaranty contracts are accounted for as insurance for statutory purposes.

5. Statutory Surplus and Accounting Practices (continued)

e. Non-admitted Assets

Certain assets are charged directly against surplus, but are reflected as assets under GAAP. Such assets principally include prepaid expenses, property and equipment, and
deferred tax assets.

f. Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense and Loss Reserves

Case reserves are established for the value of estimated losses on particular insured obligations that are currently or likely to be in payment default, and for which a future loss is probable and can be reasonably
estimated. These reserves represent an estimate of the present value of the anticipated

shortfall, net of reinsurance, between (1) payments on
insured obligations plus anticipated loss adjustment expenses and (2) anticipated cash flow from, and proceeds to be received on, sales of any collateral supporting the obligation and/or other anticipated recoveries. The discount rate is based
upon the pretax yield of admitted assets. Under GAAP, unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are reported on a gross basis (i.e., before reinsurance), and are discounted based on the risk-free rate for the anticipated shortfall.

In addition, under GAAP, the Company establishes watchlist reserves to recognize the potential for claims against the Company on insured obligations that are not
currently in payment default, but that have migrated to an impaired level, where there is a substantially increased probability of default. These reserves reflect a reasonable estimate of probable loss given evidence of impairment, and a reasonable
estimate of the amount of loss in the event of default.

g. Contingency Reserves

Contingency reserves are computed on the basis of statutory requirements for the security of all policyholders, regardless of whether loss contingencies actually exist. Changes in the contingency reserve are charged
directly to statutory surplus. In February 2008, the Company received approval from the NYSID to release $979,714 from the December 31, 2007 contingency reserves. Under GAAP, contingency reserves are not permitted.

5. Statutory Surplus and Accounting Practices (continued)

h. Unauthorized Reinsurance

A liability is recorded for uncollateralized amounts due from reinsurers not authorized to do business in New York State. Changes in this liability are charged or
credited directly to unassigned surplus.

i. Federal Income Taxes

Federal income tax expenses are provided only with respect to taxable income for which income taxes are currently payable. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arising from differences between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are recorded as a component of surplus. Under GAAP, deferred income tax assets and liabilities arising from differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are
recorded as a component of federal income tax expense.

j. Profit Commission

Under the terms of certain reinsurance agreements, the Company is entitled to receive profit commissions if the actual loss experience for a particular underwriting year is less than a prescribed level. For statutory
purposes, the Company records such profit commissions when received. For GAAP purposes, managements best estimate of the ultimate amount recoverable by the Company is accrued and the change each year is recorded in the statement of income.

k. Purchase Accounting

In a business combination
under GAAP, the assets and the liabilities of the acquired entity are recorded at fair value and the purchase price is pushed down to the subsidiary, with the differences between the purchase price and the sum of the fair value of tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed recorded as goodwill. For statutory purposes, these adjustments are not recorded.

l. Capital Leases

Under GAAP reporting, certain leases are treated as capital leases, and a liability is established for the present value of the minimum payments under such leases. For
statutory purposes, these leases are treated as operating leases and rental payments are charged to expense over the lease term.

6. Investments

The amortized cost and fair values of investments classified as fixed maturity securities are as follows:

6. Investments (continued)

The unrealized losses in the Companys investment portfolio reflect interest rate increases and credit
spread widening on insured investments. The Company has evaluated the credit ratings of the securities in its investment portfolio and noted no deterioration. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and
credit spreads on insured investments and not to the credit quality of the underlying investments, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until their fair value exceeds their amortized cost or until maturity,
the Company did not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired at December 31, 2007.

Investments in fixed maturity securities
carried at fair value of $4,641 and $4,456 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were on deposit with various regulatory authorities, as required by law.

The amortized cost and fair values of investments in fixed maturity securities available for sale at December 31, 2007 are shown below by contractual maturity date. Actual maturities may differ from contractual
maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalties.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the unamortized costs related to capitalized development stage application
cost for significant internally developed software projects were $483 and $0, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005,
depreciation expense was $1,736, $1,222 and $721, respectively.

8. Derivative Instruments

The Company previously provided CDS to certain buyers of credit protection by entering into contracts that referenced collateralized debt obligations from cash and
synthetic structures backed by pools of corporate, consumer or structured finance debt. It also offered credit protection on public finance and structured finance obligations in CDS form. These CDS agreements and certain other financial guaranty
contracts are considered derivatives under SFAS No. 133. The Companys total outstanding principal insured, net of reinsurance, on these contracts was $34,114,661 as of December 31, 2007 and $22,696,360 as of December 31, 2006.
The Company recorded net earned premiums under these contracts of $30,127, $18,740 and $3,036 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

8. Derivative Instruments (continued)

Since quoted market values are not available for the Companys credit derivative contracts, the
estimated unrealized gains and losses attributable to these contracts are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income by recording their fair value, as determined each quarter based on internally developed models. These models require
market-driven inputs, including dealer quotes for the underlying bonds, credit spreads and yield curves. The models calculate a theoretical exit price and reflect managements best judgment about current market conditions.

There is likely to be volatility in the market-driven inputs obtained from an illiquid market for CDS and the underlying bonds and other obligations, and differences are
likely to exist between available market data and assumptions used by management to estimate the fair value of these instruments. Accordingly, the valuation results from the model are likely to differ, possibly materially, from amounts that would be
realized in the market if the derivatives were traded. Moreover, volatile market conditions are likely to cause future valuations to differ, possibly materially, from those reflected in the current period.

The following table summarizes the net mark-to-market (losses) gains on credit derivative contracts.



|                                                                 |  |                        |            |   |      |   |        |      |  |   |      |

|Net mark-to-market (losses) gains on credit derivative contracts |  | $                      | (1,936,536 | ) |      | $ | 507    |      |  | $ | (167 | )
|                                                                 |  |                        |            |   |      |   |        |      |  |   |      |  

The increase in net mark-to-market losses for the year ended December 31, 2007 is primarily related to large
increases in credit spreads and the deterioration of the credit quality of the underlying collateral on certain structured finance obligations insured by the Company, most significantly ABS CDOs backed primarily by subprime RMBS.

8. Derivative Instruments (continued)

The Companys estimate of fair value at December 31, 2007 does not reflect the potential
impact, if any, of ongoing commutation, settlement and restructuring efforts. As discussed above, the fair value of the Companys CDS contracts has been determined based on internally developed models. At each reporting date, the Companys
fair value assessment is evaluated to reflect the current credit quality and spread environment, and the fair value may be adjusted to reflect the impact of the commutation, settlement or restructuring efforts.

9. Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax
return with FGIC Corp. The method of allocation between FGIC Corp. and its subsidiaries is determined under a tax sharing agreement approved by the Companys Board of Directors and the NYSID, and is based upon separate return calculations.

The Company is permitted a tax deduction, subject to certain limitations, for amounts required to be set aside in statutory contingency reserves by state
law or regulation. The deduction is allowed only to the extent the Company purchases U.S. Government non-interest-bearing tax and loss bonds in an amount equal to the tax benefit attributable to such deductions. Purchases of tax and loss bonds are
recorded as a reduction of current tax expense. The Company did not purchase any tax and loss bonds in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. During the year ended December 31, 2005 the Company purchased $13,565 of tax and loss bonds.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a domestic net operating loss carryforward of $1,267,980 for tax
purposes, which will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, the carryforward will expire in 2027. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had an alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit of $8,816, which will be available to offset
future regular tax payments. AMT credits do not expire.

9. Income Taxes (continued)

Management believes that no valuation allowance is necessary in connection with its domestic deferred tax asset
because it is more likely than not that the amortization of the unearned premium reserve, collection of future installment premiums on contracts already written, and income from the investment portfolio will generate sufficient taxable income to
realize the domestic deferred tax asset prior to its expiration.

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had gross foreign deferred tax assets
of $31,664 and $4,359, respectively, and gross foreign deferred tax liabilities of $211 and $868, respectively. The net operating losses on foreign subsidiaries of $31,410 as of December 31, 2007 were generated by FGICs United Kingdom
subsidiaries. The United Kingdom does not allow net operating losses to be carried back, but does permit them to be carried forward indefinitely. Based upon projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are
deductible and the estimated reversal of future taxable temporary differences, the Company does not anticipate realizing the benefits of these deductible differences and, therefore, has established a valuation allowance at December 31, 2007 of
$31,410.

The Company adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The Companys liability for unrecognized tax benefits was not impacted as a
result of the adoption of FIN 48. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:



|                                                             |  |   |        |  
|------------------------------------------------------------ |  | - | ------ | -
|Balance at January 1, 2007                                   |  | $ | 17,057 |  
|Additions based on tax positions related to the current year |  |   |       |  
|Additions for tax positions of prior years                   |  |   | 916    |  
|Reductions for tax positions of prior year                   |  |   | (6,024 | )
|Payments following completion of IRS audit of 2003 and 2004  |  |   | (5,353 | )
|                                                             |  |   |        |  
|Balance at December 31, 2007                                 |  | $ | 6,596  |  
|                                                             |  |   |        |  

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits where the ultimate
recognition is uncertain. Tax expense related to interest and penalties amounted to $440, $0, and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Approximately $265 and $0 were accrued for the payment of interest and
penalties at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included as a component of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits.

9. Income Taxes (continued)

In the second quarter of 2006, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of FGIC Corp.s
consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns for 2003 and 2004. The examination was completed in the second quarter of 2007. As a result, the Company is not subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by the IRS for years before 2005.

Upon completion of the audit, previously unrecognized tax benefits of $5,353 relating to the years under examination were recognized.

The Companys United Kingdom operations are subject to examination by foreign tax authorities for the periods since they commenced operation in 2004.

10. Reinsurance

Reinsurance is a commitment by one insurance company
(the reinsurer) to reimburse another insurance company (the ceding company) for a specified portion of the insurance risks under policies issued by the ceding company in consideration for a portion of the related premiums received. The ceding
company typically will receive a ceding commission from the reinsurer.

The Company uses reinsurance to increase its capacity to write insurance for
obligations of large, frequent issuers; to meet internal, rating agency or regulatory single risk limits; to diversify risk; and to manage rating agency and regulatory capital requirements. The Company arranges reinsurance on both a facultative
(transaction-by-transaction) basis and on a proportional share basis.

As a primary insurer, the Company is required to fulfill all its obligations to
policyholders even if a reinsurer fails to perform its obligations under the applicable reinsurance agreement. The Company regularly monitors the financial condition of its reinsurers. The Company evaluated the financial condition of its reinsurers
and determined that no allowance for unrecoverable reinsurance was needed. Under most of the Companys reinsurance agreements, the Company has the right to reassume all the exposure ceded to a reinsurer (and receive all the remaining unearned
premiums ceded) in the event of a ratings downgrade of the reinsurer or the occurrence of certain other events. In certain of these cases, the Company also has the right to impose additional ceding commissions.

10. Reinsurance (continued)

FGIC has also assumed exposure from certain other financial guarantors under reinsurance agreements.

As a result of the downgrade in the Companys financial strength ratings (see Note 2), the counterparties from which the Company has assumed
exposures have the ability either to reassume the exposures ceded and receive the remaining unearned premiums, or to impose additional ceding commissions.

Under certain reinsurance agreements, the Company holds collateral in the form of letters of credit and trust agreements. Such collateral totaled $180,125 at December 31, 2007 and can be drawn on in the event of default by a reinsurer.

The effect of reinsurance on premiums written and earned was as follows:

For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, reinsurance recoveries reduced loss and loss adjustment
expenses incurred by $7,287, $1,722 and $217, respectively.

Case reserves at December 31, 2007 increased to $1,259,202 at December 31, 2007 from $28,558 at
December 31, 2006an increase of $1,230,644. The increase was mainly attributable to the establishment of loss reserves for financial guaranty obligations impacted by the deterioration in mortgage underwriting quality in the U.S. mortgage
market during 2007 and 2006. Reserves at December 31, 2007 relate predominantly to ABS CDOs and RMBS transactions. Approximately seventy-five percent of the reserves at December 31, 2007 relate to an outstanding commitment to provide
financial guaranties with respect to a referenced portfolio of ABS CDOs upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

11. Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses Reserves (continued)

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves at December 31, 2007 do not
reflect the potential impact, if any, of ongoing loss mitigation efforts; however, there can be no assurance that any loss mitigation efforts will be successful, and it is not possible to predict the magnitude of any benefit that might be derived
from any such efforts that are successful. Loss reserves have been established based on the performance of the underlying collateral. If the Company identifies credit impairment, a provision for loss and loss adjustment expense is recorded. At each
reporting date the reserves are evaluated and may be adjusted to reflect the impact of any loss mitigation efforts that have yielded results that are probable and estimable. The Company believes that the reserve for estimated losses as of
December 31, 2007 is adequate to cover expected future net claims. However, the establishment of the appropriate level of reserves is an inherently uncertain process involving numerous estimates and subjective judgments by management. Small
changes underlying these estimates could result in significant changes in the Companys loss expectations. At present, there remains a considerable amount of uncertainty relating to risks in real estate prices, credit markets and the economy as
a whole, and there is no historical precedent for the current conditions. There can be no assurance that the Companys estimates of probable and estimable losses are accurate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual claims paid by
the Company will not exceed its reserves at December 31, 2007, and it is possible that they could significantly exceed those reserves. Additionally, further deterioration in the performance of RMBS, ABS CDOs and other obligations the Company
insures could lead to the establishment of additional loss reserves and further loss or reduction to income.

Incurred loss reserves for the years ended
December 31, 2006 and 2005 related primarily to obligations impacted by Hurricane Katrina. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company established loss reserves of $21,833 for an investor-owned utility and other public finance
obligations located in the City of New Orleans. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company paid claims and loss adjustment expenses of $2,000, $6,051 and $6,658, respectively, related to these obligations. During the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company received reimbursements of $6,927, $2,589 and $4,855, respectively, related to the paid claims and loss adjustment expenses.

Case reserves were discounted at interest rates ranging from 3.5% to 5.0% and from 4.5% to 4.8% in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The amount of the discount at
December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $291,522 and $6,369, respectively.

12. Variable Interest Entities

FIN 46-R provides accounting and disclosure rules for determining whether certain entities should be
consolidated in the Companys consolidated financial statements. An entity is subject to FIN 46-R, and is called a variable interest entity (VIE), if it has (i) equity that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support or (ii) equity investors that cannot make significant decisions about the entitys operations or that do not absorb the majority of its expected losses or receive the majority of its
expected residual returns. A VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that has a majority of the VIEs expected losses or a majority of its expected residual returns, or both.

As part of its structured finance business, the Company insures debt obligations or certificates issued by special purpose entities. During the first quarter of 2006,
the Company consolidated a VIE as a result of financial guarantees provided by the Company on one transaction related to the securitization of life insurance reserves.

This third-party VIE had assets of $750,000 and an equal amount of liabilities at December 31, 2007 and 2006, which are shown under Assets  Variable interest entity fixed maturity securities,
held to maturity at amortized cost and Liabilities  Variable interest entity floating rate notes, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, accrued investment income includes $1,208 and $1,298 related to
the VIEs fixed income maturity securities, and the corresponding liability is shown under Accrued interest expense-variable interest entity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Although the third-party VIE is included in the consolidated financial statements, its creditors do not have recourse to the general assets of the Company outside of the
financial guaranty policy covering certain obligations of the VIE. Interest income of $41,691 and $41,691 and interest expense of $35,893 and $35,893, respectively, were recognized in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 on the assets and
liabilities of the VIE and are included on the Consolidated Statements of Income in Interest income  investments held by variable interest entity and Interest expense  debt held by variable interest entity,
respectively.

The Company has evaluated its other structured finance transactions and does not believe any of the third-party entities involved in these
transactions requires consolidation or disclosure under FIN 46-R.

12. Variable Interest Entities (continued)

FGIC has entered into agreements providing for the issuance of contingent preferred trust
securities by a group of special purpose trusts. Each trust is solely responsible for its obligations, and has been established for the purpose of entering into a put agreement with FGIC that obligates the trusts, at FGICs discretion, to
purchase Perpetual Preferred Stock of FGIC. The purpose of this arrangement is to provide capital support to FGIC by allowing it to obtain access to new capital at its sole discretion at any time through the exercise of the put options. These trusts
are considered VIEs under FIN 46-R. However, the Company is not considered a primary beneficiary and therefore is not required to consolidate the trusts (see Note 18).

13. Related Party Transactions

The Company is party to a capital lease agreement with a subsidiary of GE Capital.
The lease agreement covers leasehold improvements made to the Companys headquarters as well as furniture and fixtures and computer hardware and software used by the Company (see Note 20).

In 2007, FGIC engaged Blackstone Advisory Services L.P., an affiliate of Blackstone, to provide services related to loss mitigation and remediation. For the year ended
December 31, 2007, the Company recorded loss adjustment expenses of $9,500 for these services. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, FGIC paid Blackstone $522 and $257, respectively, for loss mitigation and
remediation advisory services related to an investor-owned utility located in the City of New Orleans (see Note 11).

FGIC insures certain non-municipal
issues with GE Capital involvement as sponsor of the insured securitization and/or servicer of the underlying assets. For some of these issues, GE Capital also provides first loss protection in the event of default. Gross premiums written on these
issues amounted to $2, $2 and $3 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, principal outstanding on these deals before reinsurance was $5,476, and $5,667, respectively.

FGIC, in the normal course of operations, has entered into reinsurance transactions with PMI Guaranty Co. and PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. Ltd., which are
both wholly owned subsidiaries of PMI. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, ceded premiums written were $6,893, $4,041 and $582, respectively, and ceding commission income was $1,000, $578 and $114, respectively, with respect
to these PMI subsidiaries. Accounts payable due to these subsidiaries were $118 and $1,283 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Loss reserves ceded to PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. Ltd. were $2,371, $0, and $0 at December 31, 2007,
2006, and 2005, respectively.

13. Related Party Transactions (continued)

FGIC, in the normal course of operations, has entered into reinsurance transactions with RAM
Reinsurance Company Ltd (RAM Re), in which PMI has a minority ownership interest. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, ceded premiums written for these transactions were $29,517, $9,824 and $4,582, respectively, and ceding
commission income was $8,831, $2,929 and $1,369, respectively. Accounts payable due to RAM Re were $945 and $91 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Loss reserves ceded to RAM Re were $513, $0, and $0 at December 31, 2007, 2006,
and 2005, respectively.

Cypress is reported to own approximately 15% of Scottish Re Group Limited (Scottish Re). During 2006, FGIC insured a
structured finance transaction and also assumed exposure from another monoline insurer in respect of another structured finance transaction in which subsidiaries of Scottish Re were involved. Neither transaction involves (a) a
guaranty by FGIC of any obligation of Scottish Re, or (b) the payment of any fees or other amounts between FGIC and Scottish Re.

As of
December 31, 2007, there were no amounts due to or from Scottish Re. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, gross premiums written of $1,160 and $699 and premiums earned of $1,141 and $637, respectively, relating to these
transactions are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In 2005, FGIC issued a financial guaranty insurance policy with respect to an
accounts receivable securitization sponsored by a company in which Blackstone was contemporaneously acquiring a minority interest. In connection with this transaction, FGIC received premiums of $3,223, $3,260, $645, in 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.

FGIC believes that the terms of the transactions described above were completed on an arms length basis.

14. Compensation Plans

Since January 1, 2004, the Company has
offered a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the 401(k) Plan). This plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a
portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis (for 2007, up to $15.5 for employees under age 50, plus an additional catch up contribution of up to $5 for employees 50 and older). The Company may also make discretionary
contributions to the plan on behalf of employees. The Company contributed $5,027, $4,255 and $3,429 to the plan on behalf of employees for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

14. Compensation Plans (continued)

The Company also offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain employees whose cash
compensation equals or exceeds the limit under the 401(k) Plan. These employees may defer up to 100% of their pre-tax incentive compensation to a future date and accumulate tax-deferred earnings on this compensation. The Company may also make
discretionary contributions to the plan on behalf of employees.

The Company contributed $1,348, $827 and $583 to the Plan on behalf of employees for the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

15. Stock Compensation Plan

Employees of the Company may receive stock-based compensation under a FGIC Corp. incentive stock plan that provides for stock-based compensation, including stock options,
restricted stock awards and restricted stock units. Stock options are granted for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair value of the shares at the date of the grant. Restricted stock awards and restricted
stock units are valued at the fair value of the stock on the grant date, with no cost to the grantee.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company
accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation.

No stock-based employee compensation cost related to stock options was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year
ended December 31, 2005, as all options granted through that date had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. For grants of restricted stock units, unearned compensation, equivalent to the
estimated fair value of the common stock at the date of grant, was recorded as a separate component of stockholders equity and subsequently amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value
recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2005. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the stock options is amortized to expense over the stock options
vesting periods.

15. Stock Compensation Plan (continued)

Exercise prices for the stock options outstanding at December 31, 2007 range from $600 to
$1,080 per share. At December 31, 2007, the weighted average remaining contractual life of the outstanding options was approximately seven years. Stock options granted in 2007 and 2006 vest ratably over four years and expire seven years from
the date of grant. All stock options granted prior to December 31, 2005 vest ratably over five years and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The
weighted average per share fair value of the stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $234.00, $238.00 and $211.94, respectively, estimated at the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton option
valuation model based on the following assumptions:



|                        |  |                        |   |  |         |   |  |         |

The total fair value of stock options granted at the time of grant during the years ended December 31, 2007,
2006 and 2005 was approximately $11,480, $9,071 and $5,753, respectively.

As of December 31, 2007, there was $6,825 of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to unvested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized through February 28, 2011.

16. Dividends

Under the New York State Insurance Law, FGIC may pay dividends to FGIC Corp. only from earned surplus, subject to the
following limitations: (a) FGICs statutory surplus after any dividend may not be less than the minimum required paid-in capital, which was $72,500 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, and (b) dividends may not exceed the lesser of 10% of its
surplus or 100% of adjusted net investment income, as defined by New York State Insurance Law, for the preceding twelve-month period, without the prior approval of the New York State Superintendent of Insurance. Due to FGICs deficit in earned
surplus at December 31, 2007, FGIC does not currently have the capacity to pay dividends without the prior approval of the NYSID.

During the years
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, FGIC declared dividends totaling $20,000 and $20,000, respectively, on its common stock and paid dividends of $20,000 and $10,000, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, FGIC did not
declare or pay dividends on its common stock.

17. Revolving Credit Facility

In December 2005, FGIC Corp. and FGIC entered into a $250,000 senior unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on December 11, 2010. The facility is provided by a syndicate of banks and other financial
institutions. In connection with the facility, $150 in syndication costs were prepaid and will be amortized into expense over the term of the facility. The facility replaced a similar one-year facility that matured in December 2005. In February
2008, FGIC Corp. borrowed $250,000 under the facility.

FGIC Corp. and FGIC are currently in full compliance with the terms and conditions of the revolving
credit facility.

18. Preferred Trust Securities

FGIC
has a $300,000 soft capital facility, consisting of Money Market Committed Preferred Custodial Trust Securities (CPS Securities). Under the facility, each of six separate Delaware trusts (the Trusts), issues $50,000 in perpetual CPS
Securities on a rolling 28-day auction rate basis. Proceeds from these securities are invested in high quality, short-term securities and are held in the respective Trusts.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)



18. Preferred Trust Securities (continued)

Each Trust is solely responsible for its obligations and has been established for the purpose of
entering into a put agreement with FGIC, which obligates the Trusts, at FGICs discretion, to purchase perpetual Preferred Stock of FGIC. In this way, the program provides capital support to FGIC by allowing it to obtain access to new capital
through the exercise of the put options.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2007, disruptions in the short term market caused the auctions for these
facilities to fail. When an auction fails, the existing investors are required to hold their investments, and the interest rate paid on the trust securities rises to a maximum rate (150 basis points over Libor when the securities are
rated double-A, and to a rate of 200 basis points over Libor when the securities are rated at single-A or below). The impact of the failed auctions on the Company was an increase in the cost of the put option premium paid to the trusts. For the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the fees incurred related to these put options were $2,984, $1,432, and $1,806, respectively.

Financial Instruments



|(a) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|--- | -----------------------------------

The following
methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of financial instruments. Fair values estimated based upon internal valuation models are not necessarily indicative of the amount the Company could realize in a current
market exchange.

Fixed Maturity Securities: Fair values for fixed maturity securities are based on quoted market prices, if
available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair values are estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Fair value disclosure for fixed maturity securities is included in the consolidated balance sheets and in Note 6.

Short-Term Investments: Short-term investments are carried at fair value, which approximates cost.

|19. | Financial Instruments (continued)
|--- | ---------------------------------

Cash and Cash
Equivalents, Accrued Investment Income, Receivable from Related Parties, Ceded Reinsurance Balances Payable, and Payable for Securities Purchased: The carrying amounts of these items approximate their fair values.

Financial Guaranties: The carrying value of the Companys financial guaranties is represented by the unearned premium reserve net of prepaid
reinsurance premiums. Estimated fair values of these guaranties are based on an estimate of the balance that is necessary to bring the future returns for the Companys embedded book of business to a market return. The Company does not record a
carrying value for future expected installment premiums. The fair value of future expected installment premiums as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $838,533 and $630,831, respectively, both discounted at 5%.

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, net: The carrying amount of case reserves is an estimate of the present value of the anticipated
shortfall between (1) payments on insured obligations plus anticipated loss adjustment expenses and (2) anticipated cash flow from, and proceeds to be received on, sales of any collateral supporting the obligation and/or other anticipated
recoveries. The discount rate used in calculating the net present value of estimated losses is based upon the risk-free rate for the duration of the anticipated shortfall. The carrying amount of watchlist reserves is an estimate of probable loss
given evidence of impairment, and a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss given default. The carrying amounts of these items approximate their fair values.

Derivative assets and liabilities: Derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, as determined each quarter based on internally developed models. These models require market-driven inputs,
including dealer quotes for the underlying bonds, credit spreads and yield curves. The models calculate a theoretical exit price and reflect managements best judgment about current market conditions. There may be volatility in the
market-driven inputs obtained from an illiquid market for CDS and the underlying bonds and other obligations, and differences may exist between available market data and assumptions used by management to estimate the fair value of these instruments.
Accordingly, the valuation results from the model could differ materially from amounts that would be realized in the market if the derivative were traded. Moreover, volatile market conditions are likely to cause future valuations to differ, possibly
materially, from those reflected in the current period (see Note 8).

19. Financial Instruments (continued)

Put agreements on FGIC perpetual preferred stock: As noted in Notes 12 and 18,
FGIC has put agreements with six non consolidated trusts that obligates the trusts, at FGICs discretion, to purchase Perpetual Preferred Stock of FGIC. The exercise of the put options would provide FGIC access to new capital at a
pre-established rate. Given the downgrades in the Companys financial strength and credit ratings and the resulting increase in credit spreads on Companys debt, the fair value of the put options was estimated to be $60,120 and $0 at
December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Companys financial instruments
at December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

|(b) | Concentrations of Credit Risk
|--- | -----------------------------

The Company
considers its role in providing insurance to be credit enhancement rather than credit substitution. The Company insures only those securities that, in its judgment, are of investment grade quality at the time of underwriting. The Company has
established and maintains its own underwriting standards that are based on those aspects of credit that the Company deems important for the particular category of obligations considered for insurance.

Credit criteria include economic and social trends, debt management, financial management and legal and administrative factors, the adequacy of
anticipated cash flows, including the historical and expected performance of assets pledged to secure payment of securities under varying economic scenarios, and underlying levels of protection, such as insurance or over-collateralization.

In connection with underwriting new issues, the Company sometimes requires, as a condition to insuring an issue, that collateral be pledged
or, in some instances, that a third-party guaranty be provided for the term of the issue by a party of acceptable credit quality obligated to make payment prior to any payment by the Company. The types and extent of collateral varies, but may
include residential and commercial mortgages, corporate and/or government debt and consumer receivables.

As of December 31, 2007, the
Companys total outstanding principal insured was $313,949,268, net of reinsurance of $43,478,699. The Companys insured portfolio as of December 31, 2007 was broadly diversified by geographic and bond market sector, with no single
obligor representing more than 1% of the Companys principal insured outstanding, net of reinsurance. The insured portfolio includes exposure executed in the form of credit derivatives. The principal written in the form of credit derivatives
was $35,614,330 at December 31, 2007. Total outstanding principal insured does not reflect any amounts relating to commitment agreements.

Financial Guaranty Insurance Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)



23. Subsequent Events

In June 2007, FGIC UK Ltd entered into a commitment agreement with Havenrock II Limited (Havenrock II), a special
purpose vehicle created by IKB Deutsche Industriebank (IKB) for the sole purpose of the transaction, to issue a financial guaranty policy in respect of up to $1.875 billion of high-grade and mezzanine ABS CDOs contained in a $2.5 billion reference
portfolio (the Commitment Agreement), subject to FGIC UK Ltds rights and defenses and to the terms and conditions of the Commitment Agreement.

On
March 12, 2008, FGIC and FGIC UK Ltd filed a lawsuit against IKB, Havenrock II, IKB Credit Asset Management (IKB CAM) and Calyon Credit Agricole CIB (Calyon). FGIC and FGIC UK Ltd allege in their complaint, filed in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, that IKB and IKB CAM, through a series of fraudulent misrepresentations and omissions regarding IKBs financial condition and stability, induced FGIC UK Ltd to enter into the Commitment Agreement. On March 17, 2008,
Calyon issued proceedings in the High Court of England and Wales (Queens Bench Division, Commercial Court) against FGIC UK Ltd and Havenrock II seeking a declaration that the Commitment Agreement is valid and enforceable against FGIC UK Ltd.
Management believes that FGIC UK Ltd has meritorious claims and defenses and intends to vigorously pursue litigation to prove that the commitment to issue insurance under the Commitment Agreement is unenforceable.

In addition, management believes that, subsequent to year-end 2007, a party failed to perform certain responsibilities under the operative documents, and consequently
management believes that substantially all of the assets that could potentially have qualified for coverage by FGIC UK Ltd can no longer qualify and that FGIC UK Ltd therefore has no further obligation to insure those assets. As noted in Note 11,
approximately seventy-five percent of the Companys loss reserves at December 31, 2007 related to the Commitment Agreement; those reserves did not reflect the developments described above. Management is assessing whether the loss reserve
related to the Commitment Agreement needs to be adjusted in the future to reflect the impact of these developments; any such adjustment could be material.
