Financial Guaranty Insurance
Company Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Business
Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (the "Company"), a wholly-owned
insurance subsidiary of FGIC Corporation (the "Parent"), provides
financial guaranty insurance on newly issued municipal bonds and
municipal bonds trading in the secondary market, the latter including
bonds held by unit investment trusts and mutual funds. The Company also
insures structured debt issues outside the municipal market.
Approximately 88% of the business written since inception by the Company
has been municipal bond insurance.
The Company insures only those securities that, in its judgment, are of
investment grade quality. Municipal bond insurance written by the
Company insures the full and timely payment of principal and interest
when due on scheduled maturity, sinking fund or other mandatory
redemption and interest payment dates to the holders of municipal
securities. The Company's insurance policies do not provide for
accelerated payment of the principal of, or interest on, the bond
insured in the case of a payment default. If the issuer of a
Company-insured bond defaults on its obligation to pay debt service, the
Company will make scheduled interest and principal payments as due and
is subrogated to the rights of bondholders to the extent of payments
made by it.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") which differ in
certain respects from the accounting practices prescribed or permitted
by regulatory authorities (see Note 3). The prior years financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.
Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Investments
As of December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The Statement defines three
categories for classification of debt securities and the related
accounting treatment for each respective category. The Company has
determined that its fixed maturity securities portfolio should be
classified as available-for-sale. Under SFAS 115, securities held as
available-for-sale are recorded at fair value and unrealized holding
gains/losses are recorded as a separate component of stockholder's
equity, net of applicable income taxes.
Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair
value. Bond discounts and premiums are amortized over the remaining
terms of the securities. Realized gains or losses on the sale of
investments are determined on the basis of specific identification.

Financial Guaranty Insurance
Company Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Premium Revenue Recognition
Premiums are earned over the period at risk in proportion to the amount
of coverage provided which, for financial guaranty insurance policies,
generally declines according to predetermined schedules.
When unscheduled refundings of municipal bonds occur, the related
unearned premiums, net of premium credits allowed against the premiums
charged for insurance of refunding issues and applicable acquisition
costs, are earned immediately. Unearned premiums represent the portion
of premiums written related to coverage yet to be provided on policies
in force.
Policy Acquisition Costs
Policy acquisition costs include only those expenses that relate
directly to premium production. Such costs include compensation of
employees involved in underwriting, marketing and policy issuance
functions, rating agency fees, state premium taxes and certain other
underwriting expenses, offset by ceding commission income on premiums
ceded to reinsurers (see Note 6). Net acquisition costs are deferred and
amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned.
Anticipated loss and loss adjustment expenses are considered in
determining the recoverability of acquisition costs.
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Provision for loss and loss adjustment expenses is made in an amount
equal to the present value of unpaid principal and interest and other
payments due under insured risks at the balance sheet date for which, in
management's judgment, the likelihood of default is probable. Such
reserves amounted to $77.8 million and $98.7 million at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, such
reserves included $28.8 million and $71.0 million, respectively,
established based on an evaluation of the insured portfolio in light of
current economic conditions and other relevant factors. Loss and loss
adjustment expenses include amounts discounted at an interest rate of
5.5% in 1995 and 7.8% in 1994. The reserve for loss and loss adjustment
expenses is necessarily based upon estimates, however, in management s
opinion the reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses is adequate.
However, actual results will likely differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases. These temporary differences relate principally to unrealized
gains (losses) on fixed maturity securities available-for-sale, premium
revenue recognition, deferred acquisition costs and deferred
compensation. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Financial guaranty insurance companies are permitted to deduct from
taxable income, subject to certain limitations, amounts added to
statutory contingency reserves (see Note 3). The amounts deducted must
be included in taxable income upon their release from the reserves or
upon earlier release of such amounts from such reserves to cover excess
losses as permitted by insurance regulators. The amounts deducted are
allowed as deductions from taxable income only to the extent that U.S.
government non-interest bearing tax and loss bonds are purchased and
held in an amount equal to the tax benefit attributable to such
deductions.

Company Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of furniture, fixtures, equipment and
leasehold improvements which are recorded at cost and are charged to
income over their estimated service lives. Office furniture and
equipment are depreciated straight-line over five years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over their estimated service life 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company has established foreign branches in France and the United
Kingdom and determined that the functional currencies of these branches
are local currencies. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of these
foreign branches are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of
exchange existing at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and revenues and
expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The
cumulative translation loss at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $1.5
million and $1.2 million, respectively, net of tax, and is reported as a
separate component of stockholder's equity.
(3) Statutory Accounting Practices
The financial statements are prepared on the basis of GAAP, which
differs in certain respects from accounting practices prescribed or
permitted by state insurance regulatory authorities. The following are
the significant ways in which statutory-basis accounting practices
differ from GAAP:
(a) premiums are earned in proportion to the reduction of the related
risk rather than in proportion to the coverage provided;
(b) policy acquisition costs are charged to current operations as
incurred rather than as related premiums are earned;
(c) a contingency reserve is computed on the basis of statutory
requirements for the security of all policyholders, regardless of
whether loss contingencies actually exist, whereas under GAAP, a
reserve is established based on an ultimate estimate of exposure;
(d) certain assets designated as non-admitted assets are charged
directly against surplus but are reflected as assets under GAAP,
if recoverable;
(e) federal income taxes are only provided with respect to
taxable income for which income taxes are currently payable,
while under GAAP taxes are also provided for differences between
the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and
liabilities;
(f) purchases of tax and loss bonds are reflected as admitted
assets, while under GAAP they are recorded as federal income tax
payments; and
(g) all fixed income investments are carried at amortized cost
rather than at fair value for securities classified as
available-for-sale under GAAP.

(5) Income Taxes
The Company files a federal tax return as part of the consolidated
return of General Electric Capital Corporation ("GE Capital"). Under a
tax sharing agreement with GE Capital, taxes are allocated to the
Company and the Parent based upon their respective contributions to
consolidated net income. The Company's effective federal corporate tax
rate (20.6 percent in 1995, 21.3 percent in 1994 and 24.3 percent in
1993) is less than the corporate tax rate on ordinary income of 35
percent in 1995, 1994 and 1993.
Federal income tax expense (benefit) relating to operations of the

Based upon the level of historical taxable income, 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 believes it is more likely than not that it
will realize the benefits of these deductible differences and has not
established a valuation allowance at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The
company anticipates that the related deferred tax asset will be
realized.
Total federal income tax payments during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $59.8
million, $10.1 million, and $29.4 million, respectively.

(6) Reinsurance
The Company reinsures portions of its risk with other insurance
companies through quota share reinsurance treaties and, where warranted,
on a facultative basis. This process serves to limit the Company's
exposure on risks underwritten. In the event that any or all of the
reinsuring companies were unable to meet their obligations, the Company
would be liable for such defaulted amounts. The Company evaluates the
financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of
credit risk arising from activities or economic characteristics of the
reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer
insolvencies. The Company holds collateral under reinsurance agreements
in the form of letters of credit and trust agreements in various amounts
with various reinsurers totaling $33.7 million that can be drawn on in
the event of default.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the Emerging Issues Task
Force Issue 93-6, "Accounting for Multiple-Year Retrospectively-Rated
Contracts by Ceding and Assuming Enterprises" ("EITF 93-6"). EITF 93-6
requires that an asset be recognized by a ceding company to the extent a
payment would be received from the reinsurer based on the contract's
experience to date, regardless of the outcome of future events. To
reflect the adoption of EITF 93-6 in the accompanying financial
statements, an initial adjustment of $4.6 million, before applicable
income taxes, has been reflected in the 1993 income statement.
Net premiums earned are presented net of ceded earned premiums of $21.9
million, $39.0 million and $34.4 million for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Loss and loss adjustment expenses
incurred are presented net of ceded losses of $1.1 million, $0.3 million
and $9.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

(8) Related Party Transactions
The Company has various agreements with subsidiaries of General Electric
Company ("GE") and GE Capital. These business transactions include
appraisal fees and due diligence costs associated with underwriting
structured finance mortgage-backed security business; payroll and office
expenses incurred by the Company's international branch offices but
processed by a GE subsidiary; investment fees pertaining to the
management of the Company's investment portfolio; and telecommunication
service charges. Approximately $3.2 million, $3.2 million and $1.0
million in expenses were incurred in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively,
related to such transactions.
The Company also insured 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 $1.3 million in 1995, $2.5 million
in 1994, and $3.3 million in 1993.
The Company insures bond issues and securities in trusts that were
sponsored by affiliates of GE (approximately 1 percent of gross premiums
written in 1995 and 1994 and 2 percent in 1993).
(9) Compensation Plans
Officers and other key employees of the Company participate in the
Parent's incentive compensation, deferred compensation and profit
sharing plans. Expenses incurred by the Company under compensation plans
and bonuses amounted to $7.5 million, $12.2 million and $16.7 million in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, before deduction for related tax
benefits.
(10) Dividends
Under New York insurance law, the Company may pay a dividend only from
earned surplus subject to the following limitations: (a) statutory
surplus after such dividend may not be less than the minimum required
paid-in capital, which was $2.1 million in 1995 and 1994, and (b)
dividends may not exceed the lesser of 10 percent of its surplus or 100
percent of adjusted net investment income, as defined by New York
insurance law, for the 12 month period ending on the preceding December
31, without the prior approval of the Superintendent of the New York
State Insurance Department. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the amount of
the Company's surplus available for dividends was approximately $100.2
million and $89.3 million, respectively.
During 1995, the company paid dividends of $25 million. No dividends
were paid during 1994 or 1993.

(11) Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating fair values of financial instruments:
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 is estimated using quoted market prices for
similar securities. Fair value disclosure for fixed maturity securities
is included in the balance sheets and in Note 4.
Short-Term Investments: Short-term investments are carried at cost,
which approximates fair value.
Cash, Receivable for Securities Sold, and Payable for Securities
Purchased: The carrying amounts of these items approximate their fair
values.
The estimated fair values of the Company s financial instruments at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as follows (in thousands):
1995 1994
---- ----
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
amount Value amount Value
------ ----- ------ -----
Financial Assets
Cash
On hand and in demand accounts $ 199 $ 199 $ 1,766 $ 1,766
Short-term investments 91,032 91,032 75,674 75,674
Fixed maturity securities 2,141,584 2,141,584 1,889,910 1,889,910
Financial Guaranties: The carrying value of the Company's financial
guaranties is represented by the unearned premium reserve, net of
deferred acquisition costs, and loss and loss adjustment expense
reserves. Estimated fair values of these guaranties are based on amounts
currently charged to enter into similar agreements (net of applicable
ceding commissions), discounted cash flows considering contractual
revenues to be received adjusted for expected prepayments, the present
value of future obligations and estimated losses, and current interest
rates. The estimated fair values of such financial guaranties range
between $412.8 million and $456.2 million compared to a carrying value
of $540.6 million as of December 31, 1995 and between $518.1 million and
$565.9 million compared to a carrying value of $585.1 million as of
December 31, 1994.

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.
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 for payment of securities under
varying economic scenarios and underlying levels of protection such as
insurance or overcollateralization.
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 guarantee be provided
for a term of the obligation insured by a party of acceptable credit
quality obligated to make payment prior to any payment by the Company.
The types and extent of collateral pledged varies, but may include
residential and commercial mortgages, corporate debt, government debt
and consumer receivables.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company's total insured principal exposure
to credit loss in the event of default by bond issuers was $98.7
billion, net of reinsurance of $20.7 billion. The Company's insured
portfolio as of December 31, 1995 was broadly diversified by geography
and bond market sector with no single debt issuer representing more than
1% of the Company's principal exposure outstanding, net of reinsurance.
As of December 31, 1995, the composition of principal exposure by type
of issue, net of reinsurance, was as follows (in millions):
Net
Principal
Outstanding
-----------
Municipal:
General obligation $ 43,308.2
Special revenue 38,137.9
Industrial revenue 2,480.0

June 30, 1996 and 1995
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The interim financial statements of Financial Guaranty
Insurance Company (the Company) in this report reflect all
adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, for a
fair statement of (a) results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, (b) the financial position at
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and (c) cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
included in the 1995 audited financial statements. The 1995
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
1996 presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
(2) Statutory Accounting Practices
The financial statements are prepared on the basis of GAAP,
which differs in certain respects from accounting practices
prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory
authorities. The following are the significant ways in which
statutory basis accounting practices differ from GAAP:
(a) premiums are earned in proportion to the reduction of
the related risk rather than in proportion to the
coverage provided;
(b) policy acquisition costs are charged to current
operations as incurred rather than as related premiums
are earned;
(c) a contingency reserve is computed on the basis of
statutory requirements for the security of all
policyholders, regardless of whether loss contingencies
actually exist, whereas under GAAP, a reserve is
established based on an ultimate estimate of exposure;
(d) certain assets designated as "non-admitted assets" are
charged directly against surplus but are reflected as
assets under GAAP, if recoverable;
(e) federal income taxes are only provided with respect to
taxable income for which income taxes are currently
payable, while under GAAP taxes are also provided for
differences between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities;
(f) purchases of tax and loss bonds are reflected as
admitted assets, while under GAAP they are recorded as
federal income tax payments; and
(g) all fixed income investments are carried at amortized
cost, rather than at fair value for securities
classified as "Available for Sale" under GAAP.

Financial Guaranty Insurance
Company Notes to Financial Statements
================================================================================
June 30, 1996 and 1995
(Unaudited)
(3) Dividends
Under New York Insurance Law, the Company may pay a dividend
only from earned surplus subject to the following limitations:
o Statutory surplus after dividends may not be less
than the minimum required paid-in capital, which was
$2,100,000 in 1996.
o Dividends may not exceed the lesser of 10 percent of
its surplus or 100 percent of adjusted net investment
income, as defined therein, for the twelve month
period ending on the preceding December 31, without
the prior approval of the Superintendent of the New
York State Insurance Department.
The amount of the Company's surplus available for dividends
during 1996 is approximately $106.2 million.
(4) Income Taxes
The Company's effective Federal corporate tax rate (21.3
percent and 21.4 percent for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively) is less than the statutory
corporate tax rate (35 percent in 1996 and 1995) on ordinary
income due to permanent differences between financial and
taxable income, principally tax-exempt interest.
(5) Reinsurance
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 113 ("SFAS 113"), "Accounting and Reporting for
Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts",
adopted in 1993, the Company reports assets and liabilities
relating to reinsured contracts gross of the effects of
reinsurance. Net premiums earned are shown net of premiums
ceded of $12.7 million and $11.6 million, respectively, for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.
