Financial Guaranty Insurance
Company                                                                    Notes to Financial Statements


September 30, 2000 and 1999
(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 nine months ended September 30,
               2000 and 1999,  (b) the financial  position at September 30, 2000
               and  December  31,  1999,  and (c) cash flows for the nine months
               ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

               These interim financial  statements should be read in conjunction
               with the financial  statements  and related notes included in the
               1999 audited financial statements.

               The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
               generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to
               make estimates and assumptions  that affect 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 directly in proportion to the scheduled
                     principal and interest  payments  rather than in proportion
                     to the total exposure outstanding at any point in time;

               (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


           (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 $66.4 million
                     in 2000.

               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  State  of New  York  Insurance
                     Department.


               The  amount of the  Company's  surplus  available  for  dividends
               during 2000 is approximately $112.6 million.

               The  Company  declared  dividends  of $50 million and $75 million
               during the first nine  months of 2000 and 1999  respectively.  In
               addition, an extraordinary  dividend of $200 million (approved by
               New York State  Insurance  Department)  was paid during the first
               nine months of 2000.

           (4) Income Taxes

               The Company's  effective Federal corporate tax rate (17.0 percent
               and 20.1 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
               1999, respectively) is less than the statutory corporate tax rate
               (35 percent in 2000 and 1999) on ordinary income due to permanent
               differences  between  financial and taxable  income,  principally
               tax-exempt interest.

           (5)  Reinsurance

               Net  premiums  earned  are shown net of  premiums  ceded of $14.2
               million  and $23.8  million,  respectively,  for the nine  months
               ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

(6)     Comprehensive Income

               Comprehensive  income  encompasses  all changes in  stockholders'
               equity (except those arising from transactions with stockholders)
               and includes net income,  net unrealized  capital gains or losses
               on  available-for-sale  securities  (net of  taxes)  and  foreign
               currency translation adjustments,  net of taxes. The following is
               a reconciliation of comprehensive income:

(7)     Current Accounting Pronouncements

               The Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB") has issued,
               then  subsequently  amended  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
               Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
               and  Hedging   activities,   effective  for  Financial   Guaranty
               Insurance  Company  on  January  1,  2001.  Upon  adoption,   all
               derivative  instruments (including certain derivative instruments
               embedded in other  contracts)  will be  recognized in the balance
               sheet at their fair  values;  changes in such fair values must be
               recognized   immediately  in  earnings  unless  specific  hedging
               criteria are met.  Management  estimates  that at  September  30,
               2000,  the effects on its  financial  statements of adopting SFAS
               133, as amended,  will be  immaterial.  However,  the  transition
               effect as of January 1, 2001,  cannot be  estimated  at this time
               because it is subject to the  following  unknown  variables as of
               that date: (1) actual  derivatives and related hedged  positions,
               (2) market values of derivatives  and hedged  positions,  and (3)
               further interpretation of SFAS 133 by the FASB.
