     (1)  Basis of Presentation


     Ambac Assurance Corporation ("Ambac Assurance") is a leading guarantor of
municipal and structured finance obligations.  Ambac Assurance has earned
triple-A ratings, the highest ratings available from Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., Standard & Poor's Rating Group, Fitch, and Rating and Investment
Information, Inc. Financial guarantees underwritten by Ambac Assurance guarantee
payment when due of the principal of and interest on the obligation guaranteed.
In the case of a monetary default on the guaranteed bond, payments may not be
accelerated by the policyholder without Ambac Assurance's consent. As of June
30, 2000, Ambac Assurance's net guarantees in force (principal and interest)
were $390,987,000. Ambac Assurance is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ambac
Financial Group, Inc. ("AFGI"), a holding company whose subsidiaries provide
financial guarantees and financial services to clients in both the public and
private sectors around the world.

     In December 1997, Ambac Assurance acquired Construction Loan Insurance
Corporation ("CLIC"). CLIC's wholly owned subsidiary, Connie Lee Insurance
Company ("Connie Lee"), a triple-A rated financial guarantee insurance company,
guaranteed bonds primarily for college and hospital infrastructure projects.
Ambac Assurance and Connie Lee have arrangements in place to ensure that Connie
Lee maintains a level of capital sufficient to support Connie Lee's outstanding
obligations and for Connie Lee insured bonds to retain their triple-A rating.

     Ambac Assurance serves clients in international markets through its wholly-
owned subsidiary Ambac Assurance UK Limited. Additionally, Ambac Assurance had
served clients in international markets through its participation in MBIA. AMBAC
International, an unincorporated joint venture with MBIA Insurance Corporation
("MBIA"). On March 21, 2000, Ambac Assurance and MBIA announced the
restructuring of that arrangement. Ambac Assurance and MBIA will continue having
reciprocal reinsurance arrangements for international business until at least
the end of 2000, however, the companies will market and originate financial
guarantees independently. The restructuring did not affect business conducted in
Japan where the companies will continue to market and originate transactions
jointly under the original arrangement.

     Ambac Credit Products L.L.C. ("ACP"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ambac
Assurance, also provides credit protection in the form of structured credit
derivatives. These structured credit derivatives require that ACP make a payment
upon the occurrence of certain defined credit events relating to an underlying
obligation.  Should a credit event occur, ACP would generally pay an amount
equivalent to the difference between the par value and market value of the
underlying obligation. The majority of ACP's structured credit derivatives have
been structured with certain first loss protection.

          The accompanying consolidated unaudited interim financial statements
have been prepared on the basis of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("GAAP") and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the
Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. The results of operations for the six months ended June
30, 2000 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year ending December 31, 2000. These financial statements and notes should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the
audited consolidated financial statements of Ambac Assurance Corporation and its
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1999.
