The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly,
do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally 
accepted accounting principles.  These statements should be read in 
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto 
included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 for MBIA Inc.
and Subsidiaries (the "Company").  The accompanying unaudited consolidated 
financial statements have not been audited by independent accountants in 
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards but in the opinion of
management such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting 
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the
Company's financial position and results of operations.  The results of 
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 may not be indicative  
of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.   
The December 31, 1994 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited
financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by 
generally accepted accounting principles.

             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
1995 AND 1994 - FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
- -------------------------------------

MBIA Inc.'s (the "Company") 1995 first quarter net income was
$66.0 million compared to $65.7 million in 1994.  Earnings per
share grew 1% to $1.57 from $1.56 in the first quarter of 1994.

  The Company also measures its performance in terms of core
earnings, which exclude the effects of the relatively less
predictable elements of net premiums earned from refundings and
calls of previously insured issues, realized gains and accounting
changes.  Core earnings increased by 13% to $1.43 per share
compared with $1.27 a year ago, reflecting the Company's
continuing ability to produce consistent growth from its
expanding portfolio of insured issues, its investment portfolio
and investment management services.

  According to THE BOND BUYER, long-term new issue municipal bond
volume was $28.0 billion of par value in the first quarter of
1995, down from $49.8 billion in the first quarter of 1994 due to
a sharp decline in refunding activity.  The insured portion of
the market declined to 30% from 36% in the first quarter of 1994.
The decrease was the result of a larger percentage than usual in
this year's first quarter of new issues that sold without
insurance because of their very high credit quality.  In the
first quarter of 1995, the Company's principal operating
subsidiary, MBIA Insurance Corporation (formerly, Municipal Bond
Investors Assurance Corporation) ("MBIA Corp."), continued to
lead the industry in market share, guaranteeing 38% of the
insured long-term new issue municipal bond volume.  In addition,
the Company insured a record $2.1 billion (par value) of
structured finance securities, more than double the $927.5
million insured in last year's first quarter.

  Influenced by the decline in overall new issue market volume,
but partially offset by increased writings in secondary market,
asset-backed and international activity, gross premiums written
by MBIA Corp. decreased 16% to $70.8 million during the first
quarter, from $84.3 million during the first quarter of 1994.
New issue and secondary market municipal and asset-backed
premiums, the major components of gross premiums written,
decreased 22% to $59.6 million compared with $76.1 million in the
same period last year.  Installment premiums received for
policies issued in prior years, including net amounts assumed
related to the installment business of the Association, were $7.9
million and $7.3 million for the first quarters of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  MBIA Assurance S. A., a subsidiary of MBIA Corp.
has shown

substantial growth contributing $3.3 million of gross premium
written in first quarter 1995 compared to $0.7 million in the
first quarter of 1994.  Gross premiums written also included
portfolio assumptions of $0.2 million in the first quarter of
1994.

  With the decrease in the volume of gross premiums written,
premiums ceded to reinsurers declined 9% to $7.1 million during
the first quarter of 1995 compared to $7.8 million in the same
period last year.  Premiums ceded as a percentage of gross
premiums written were relatively constant at 10% and 9% for the
first quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

  The Company monitors on a continual basis the creditworthiness
of its reinsurers.  The substantial majority (97%) of the
Company's current reinsurance treaty capacity is with reinsurance
companies which are rated AA or better by Standard & Poors or A
or better by A. M. Best & Co., an insurance rating organization.
In the first quarter of 1995, the maximum amount reinsured by any
one reinsurance company as a percent of the Company's gross
premiums written was 4%.  As of March 31, 1995, the maximum
amount of debt service outstanding reinsured by any one
reinsurance company as a percent of insured gross debt service
outstanding was also 4%.  The Company remains liable for risks
reinsured but believes that the likelihood of not recovering the
reinsured portion of losses from its reinsurers is remote.

  Typically, insurance premiums are paid in full at the time the
insurance policy is issued and are earned pro rata over the
period of risk.  Premiums are allocated to each bond maturity
based on par amount and are earned on a straight-line basis over
the term of each maturity.  Accordingly, the portion of net
premiums earned on each policy in any given year represents a
relatively small percentage of the total net upfront premium
received.  The balance represents deferred premium revenue to be
earned in the future over the remaining life of the bond.

  Approximately 10% of MBIA's premiums are collected on an
installment basis.  Installment premiums are not recorded as a
component of deferred premium revenue until received and
therefore represent an off-balance sheet value which will
contribute to future earned premiums and cash flow.  As of
March 31, 1995, MBIA estimates the present value of this future
stream of payments to be $182.5 million.  The present value of
installment premiums related to MBIA's asset-backed and UIT
businesses written in the first quarter of 1995 increased 92% to
$13.6 million from $7.1 million in the first quarter of 1994.

                               (Continued)


  Premiums earned in the first quarter decreased 6% to $51.1
million from $54.5 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The
growth in the deferred premium revenue from the addition of new
business in 1994 was more than offset by the decline in earned
premiums associated with bond refundings and calls during first
quarter 1995, which were significantly lower than in the same
period last year.

  When an MBIA-insured bond issue is refunded or retired prior to
the end of the expected period of coverage, the outstanding
liability associated with the refunded or called portion is
extinguished and the remaining deferred premium revenue is earned
immediately, except for any portion which may be applied as a
credit toward the premium charged on the refunding bond issue if
such refunding issue is insured by MBIA Corp.  Earned premiums
generated by refunded and called bonds declined to $8.0 million
from $14.5 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The amount of
bond refundings and calls is difficult to predict since it is
influenced by a variety of factors such as prevailing interest
rates relative to the coupon rates of the original issue, the
issuer's desire to modify restrictive covenants and changing
requirements under the Internal Revenue Code.

  The Company's total investments were $5.5 billion as of March
31, 1995, including $2.1 billion related to the Company's
municipal investment agreement business.

  Net investment income (excluding the amount earned on
investment agreement assets which are recorded as a component of
investment management services income) increased 13% to $52.8
million in the first quarter of 1995 compared with $46.9 million
in the corresponding period of 1994.  The increase was primarily
the result of the growth of investments from continued positive
operating cash flows.  Average investments excluding investment
agreement assets were $3.29 billion in the first quarter of 1995
compared with $3.01 billion for the same period last year.  Tax-
exempt investments represented 75% of total investments excluding
investment agreement assets, at both March 31, 1995 and March 31,
1994.  Net realized capital gains in the first quarter of 1995
decreased to $1.7 million from $6.4 million in the same period of
1994.

  MBIA has undertaken the development of investment management
services which capitalize on its capabilities, reputation and
marketplace relationships.  In aggregate for the first quarter
1995, these businesses contributed $4.2 million in revenue, a
substantial increase over first quarter 1994 revenues of $1.6
million.

                                (Continued)


  MBIA Municipal Investors Services Corporation ("MBIA/MISC"), a
subsidiary of the Company, provides cash management services for
local governments, school districts and similar authorities.  As
of March 31, 1995 MBIA/MISC had over 1,000 clients and over $1.7
billion of client assets under management.  MBIA/MISC is
operating in nine states and plans to continue its expansion into
additional states.  MBIA/MISC provides fund administration
services to over 200 clients.

  MBIA Investment Management Corp. ("IMC"), another subsidiary of
the Company, provides investment vehicles in the form of
investment agreements guaranteed as to principal and interest,
for states, municipalities and municipal authorities.  At March
31, 1995, IMC managed outstanding investment agreements of $2.1
billion compared with $693.6 million at March 31, 1994.  The
related assets are high quality securities and are recorded as a
component of the Company's total investments.

  Municipal investment agreements are recorded as liabilities at
the time such agreements are executed.  The liability for a
municipal investment agreement is carried at the principal value
of the obligation plus accrued interest due.  Interest expense on
municipal investment agreements is computed daily based upon the
outstanding liability balance at rates specified in the
agreements.  Such expense is deducted from the investment income
arising from the related investment agreement assets, and the net
amount is included in investment management services income.

  The provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses for the
first quarter of 1995 was $2.0 million, compared with $1.9
million in 1994, representing additions to the loss reserves
consistent with the Company's reserve methodology.  At March 31,
1995, $22.1 million of the $42.0 million loss and loss adjustment
expense reserve was allocated on a case basis, compared with
$22.4 million of the $35.6 million reserve at March 31, 1994.
During the first quarter of 1995 there were no new case reserves
nor any material adjustments to those reserves currently
outstanding.

  For the first quarter of 1995, policy acquisition costs net of
deferrals decreased $0.8 million to $5.1 million.  Since policy
acquisition costs are deferred and amortized over the period in
which the related premiums are earned, this decrease is primarily
a function of the lower level of premiums earned caused by the
1995 decline in refunding activity.  Other insurance operating
expenses remained relatively flat increasing to $9.7 million from
$9.3 million in the first quarter of 1994.

  Expenses of MBIA's investment management services businesses
increased to $2.9 million from $2.3 million last year due to
increased costs associated with the expansion of  these new
businesses.  The 1995 increase in expenses was more than offset
by increased investment management services income.

  The Company's interest expense was $7.1 million and $6.7
million for the first quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The increase resulted from utilization of short-term bank
borrowings under existing lines of credit during the first
quarter of 1995 for investment management services' working
capital needs.

  In summary, aggregate expenses for the first quarter of 1995
increased by 2% over the first quarter of 1994

  The Company's effective tax rates at 20.97% and 20.71% for the
first quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively, were relatively
constant.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

At March 31, 1995, the market value of the Company's consolidated
investment portfolio was $5.50 billion, an increase of 13% from
$4.87 billion at year-end 1994. Of this increase 15% was due to
continued positive operating cash flow from MBIA Corp.'s
insurance premiums and investment income; 59% was from municipal
investment agreement portfolio operations; and the balance, 26%,
was attributable to unrealized gains.

  The Company's liquidity is in part dependent upon MBIA Corp.'s
ability to pay dividends to the Company.  MBIA Corp.'s net
income, consisting of premium earnings and investment income less
losses and expenses, is a source of continuing additions to
earned surplus and dividend paying capability.  Under New York
insurance law, without prior approval of the Superintendent of
the New York State Insurance Department, MBIA Corp. may pay a
dividend only from earned surplus subject to the maintenance of a
minimum capital requirement, and the dividends in any 12-month
period may not exceed the lesser of 10% of its policyholders'
surplus as shown on its last filed statutory-based financial
statements or adjusted net investment income, as defined, for
such 12-month period.  MBIA Corp. paid dividends of $22.5 million
in the first quarter of 1995 and at March 31, 1995 had in excess
of $52 million available for payment of further dividends to the
Company without prior approval.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                (Continued)


  MBIA Corp. has an irrevocable standby line of credit of $600
million with a group of  major banks to provide funds for the
payment of claims in the event that severe losses should occur.
The agreement is for a seven-year term expiring on September 30,
2001 but, subject to approval by the banks, the agreement may be
renewed annually to extend the term to seven years beyond the
renewal date.  The Company and MBIA Corp. maintain short-term
liquidity facilities totaling $250 million with major banks for
general corporate purposes including immediate liquidity for
payment of claims should they occur.  At March 31, 1995, $23
million was outstanding under these facilities to fund investment
management services' working capital requirements.

  MBIA Corp. also maintains a high degree of liquidity within its
investment portfolio in the form of readily marketable high
quality fixed income securities and short-term investments.  In
management's opinion, the capital resources of MBIA Corp.,
represented by the liquidity of its investment portfolio, its
cash flows from operations and bank lines of credit, are more
than adequate to meet the Company's expected cash requirements.

  At March 31, 1995, MBIA Corp. had $22.1 million in case
specific loss reserves.  Any related payments are expected to be
funded from operating cash flows.

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- -------------------------

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  are  unaudited
and  include  the  accounts  of  MBIA Insurance  Corporation  and  its
Subsidiaries  (the  "Company").  The statements  do  not  include  all
of  the  information  and disclosures required by  generally  accepted
accounting   principles.   These  statements   should   be   read   in
conjunction  with  the  consolidated financial  statements  and  notes
thereto  for  the  year  ended December  31,  1994  for  the  Company.
The  accompanying  consolidated financial  statements  have  not  been
audited  by  independent  accountants  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  auditing  standards but in the opinion  of  management  such
financial  statements  include  all adjustments,  consisting  only  of
normal  recurring  adjustments,  necessary  to  summarize  fairly  the
Company's   financial  position  and  results  of   operations.    The
results  of  operations  for the three months  ended  March  31,  1995
may  not  be  indicative of the results that may be expected  for  the
year  ending  December  31,  1995.  The December  31,  1994  condensed
balance  sheet  data  was derived from audited  financial  statements,
but   does   not   include  all  disclosures  required  by   generally
accepted accounting principles.


2.  DIVIDENDS DECLARED
- ----------------------

Dividends  declared  by  the Company during  the  three  months  ended
March 31, 1995 were $22.5 million.
