FIRST AMERICAN FINANCIAL CORPORATION

AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Spin off

First American Financial Corporation (the “Company”) became a publicly traded company following its spin-off from its prior parent, The First American Corporation (“TFAC”), on June 1, 2010 (the “Separation”). On that date, TFAC distributed all of the Company’s outstanding shares to the record date shareholders of TFAC on a one-for-one basis (the “Distribution”). After the Distribution, the Company owned TFAC’s financial services businesses and TFAC, which reincorporated and assumed the name CoreLogic, Inc. (“CoreLogic”), continued to own its information solutions businesses. The Company’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the “FAF” ticker symbol and CoreLogic’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “CLGX.”

To effect the Separation, TFAC and the Company entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) that governs the rights and obligations of the Company and CoreLogic regarding the Distribution. It also governs the relationship between the Company and CoreLogic subsequent to the completion of the Separation and provides for the allocation between the Company and CoreLogic of TFAC’s assets and liabilities. The Separation and Distribution Agreement identifies assets, liabilities and contracts that were allocated between CoreLogic and the Company as part of the Separation and describes the transfers, assumptions and assignments of these assets, liabilities and contracts. In particular, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein:

• All of the assets and liabilities primarily related to the Company’s business—primarily the business and operations of TFAC’s title insurance and services segment and specialty insurance segment—have been retained by or transferred to the Company;

• All of the assets and liabilities primarily related to CoreLogic’s business—primarily the business and operations of TFAC’s data and analytic solutions, information and outsourcing solutions and risk mitigation and business solutions segments—have been retained by or transferred to CoreLogic;

• On the record date for the Distribution, TFAC issued to the Company and its principal title insurance subsidiary, First American Title Insurance Company (“FATICO”), a number of shares of its common stock that resulted in the Company and FATICO collectively owning 12.9 million shares of CoreLogic’s common stock immediately following the Separation, some of which have subsequently been sold. See Note 17 Transactions with CoreLogic/TFAC to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the CoreLogic stock;

• The Company effectively assumed $200.0 million of the outstanding liability for indebtedness under TFAC’s senior secured credit facility through the Company’s borrowing and transferring to CoreLogic of $200.0 million under the Company’s credit facility in connection with the Separation.

The Separation resulted in a net distribution from the Company to TFAC of $151.0 million. In connection with such distribution, the Company assumed $22.1 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, which was primarily related to the Company’s assumption of the unfunded portion of the defined benefit pension obligation associated with participants who were employees of the businesses retained by CoreLogic. See Note 10 Employee Benefit Plans to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of the defined benefit pension plan.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s historical financial statements prior to June 1, 2010 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and have been derived from the consolidated financial statements of TFAC and represent carve-out stand-alone combined financial statements. The combined financial statements prior to June 1, 2010 include items attributable to the Company and allocations of general corporate expenses from TFAC.

AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

The Company’s historical financial statements prior to June 1, 2010 include assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to the Company’s operations. The Company’s historical financial statements prior to June 1, 2010 reflect allocations of certain corporate expenses from TFAC for certain functions provided by TFAC, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, compliance, facilities, procurement, employee benefits, and share-based compensation. These expenses have been allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of net revenue, domestic headcount or assets or a combination of such drivers. The Company considers the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. The Company’s historical financial statements prior to June 1, 2010 do not reflect the debt or interest expense it might have incurred if it had been a stand-alone entity. In addition, the Company expects to incur other expenses, not reflected in its historical financial statements prior to June 1, 2010, as a result of being a separate publicly traded company. As a result, the Company’s historical financial statements prior to June 1, 2010 do not necessarily reflect what its financial position or results of operations would have been if it had been operated as a stand-alone public entity during the periods covered prior to June 1, 2010, and may not be indicative of the Company’s future results of operations and financial position.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and reflect the consolidated operations of the Company as a separate, stand-alone publicly traded company subsequent to June 1, 2010. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First American Financial Corporation and all controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Investments in which the Company exercises significant influence, but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company does not exercise significant influence over the investee are accounted for under the cost method.

The condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. The principles for condensed interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results for the interim periods.

Certain 2010 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.

Net income attributable to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 included a net reduction of $0.9 million and a net increase of $1.6 million, respectively, related to certain items that should have been recorded in a prior period. These items decreased diluted net income per share attributable to the Company’s stockholders by $0.01 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and increased diluted net income per share attributable to the Company’s stockholders by $0.02 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These amounts have been tax effected by 40.0% for disclosure purposes. The Company assessed these items and concluded that such items were not material to the previously reported consolidated financial statements and are not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires a reporting entity to disclose separately, a reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than one net number). The updated guidance is effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within the fiscal year. Except for the disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to credit risk disclosures for finance receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. The updated guidance requires entities to disclose information at disaggregated levels, specifically defined as “portfolio segments” and “classes”. Expanded disclosures include, among other things, roll-forward schedules of the allowance for credit losses and information regarding the credit quality of receivables (including their aging) as of the end of a reporting period. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010, although the disclosures of reporting period activity are required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to disclosure of supplementary pro forma information in connection with business combinations. The updated guidance clarifies the acquisition date that should be used for reporting pro forma financial information when comparative financial statements are presented. The updated guidance also expands supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to when goodwill impairment testing should include Step 2 for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The updated guidance modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts requiring those entities to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating an impairment may exist. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Escrow Deposits, Like-kind Exchange Deposits and Trust Assets

The Company administers escrow deposits and trust assets as a service to its customers. Escrow deposits totaled $3.57 billion and $3.03 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, of which $1.1 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, were held at the Company’s federal savings bank subsidiary, First American Trust, FSB. The escrow deposits held at First American Trust, FSB, are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, in cash and cash equivalents and debt and equity securities, with offsetting liabilities included in deposits. The remaining escrow deposits were held at third-party financial institutions.

Trust assets totaled $2.8 billion and $2.9 billion at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and were held or managed by First American Trust, FSB. Escrow deposits held at third-party financial institutions and trust assets are not the Company’s assets under generally accepted accounting principles and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company could be held contingently liable for the disposition of these assets.

In conducting its operations, the Company often holds customers’ assets in escrow, pending completion of real estate transactions. As a result of holding these customers’ assets in escrow, the Company has ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits, including investment programs, borrowing agreements, and vendor services arrangements with various financial institutions. The effects of these programs are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as income or a reduction in expense, as appropriate, based on the nature of the arrangement and benefit earned.

Like-kind exchange funds held by the Company totaled $398.5 million and $609.9 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, of which $92.9 million and $408.8 million, respectively, were held at the Company’s subsidiary, First Security Business Bank (“FSBB”). The like-kind exchange deposits held at FSBB are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets in cash and cash equivalents with offsetting liabilities included in deposits. The remaining exchange deposits were held at third-party financial institutions and, due to the structure utilized to facilitate these transactions, the proceeds and property are not considered assets of the Company under generally accepted accounting principles and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. All such amounts are placed in bank deposits with FDIC insured institutions. The Company could be held contingently liable to the customer for the transfers of property, disbursements of proceeds and the return on the proceeds.

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company began winding-down the operations of FSBB. FSBB is no longer accepting third party deposits, including like-kind exchange deposits, nor does it originate or purchase new loans. FSBB continues to service its existing loan portfolio.

(1) At September 30, 2011, the $48.3 million amortized cost is net of $5.2 million in other-than-temporary impairments determined to be credit related which have been recognized in earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the $63.8 million amortized cost is net of $6.3 million in other-than-temporary impairments determined to be credit related which have been recognized in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2011, the $13.5 million gross unrealized losses include $13.0 million of unrealized losses for securities determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired and $0.5 million of unrealized losses for securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. At December 31, 2010, the $16.5 million gross unrealized losses include $10.4 million of unrealized losses for securities determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired and $6.1 million of unrealized losses for securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The $32.3 million and $28.4 million other-than-temporary impairments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, represent the amount of other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in AOCI which, starting January 1, 2009, were not included in earnings due to the fact that the losses were not considered to be credit related. Other-than-temporary impairments were recognized in AOCI for non-agency mortgage-backed securities only.

Other-than-temporary impairment—debt securities

Although the capital and credit markets have to some extent recovered, there continues to be volatility and disruption concerning certain vintages of non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The primary factors negatively impacting certain vintages of non-agency mortgage-backed securities include stringent borrowing guidelines that result in the inability of borrowers to refinance, high unemployment, continued declines in real estate values, uncertainty regarding the timing and effectiveness of governmental solutions and a general slowdown in economic activity. As of September 30, 2011, gross unrealized losses on non-agency mortgage-backed securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized were $0.5 million (which represents 1 security), which has been in an unrealized loss position for longer than 12 months. The Company determines if a non-agency mortgage-backed security in a loss position is other-than-temporarily impaired by comparing the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security to its amortized cost basis. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected exceed the amortized cost of the security, the Company concludes that the security is not other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company performs this analysis on all non-agency mortgage-backed securities in its portfolio that are in an unrealized loss position. The methodology and key assumptions used in estimating the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are described below. For the securities that were determined not to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011, the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected exceeded the amortized cost of each security.

If the Company intends to sell a debt security in an unrealized loss position or determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a debt security before it recovers its amortized cost basis, the debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired and it is written down to fair value with all losses recognized in earnings. As of September 30, 2011, the Company does not intend to sell any debt securities in an unrealized loss position and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

If the Company does not expect to recover the amortized cost basis of a debt security with declines in fair value (even if the Company does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis), the losses the Company considers to be the credit portion of the other-than-temporary impairment loss (“credit loss”) is recognized in earnings and the non-credit portion is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The cash flows expected to be collected are discounted at the rate implicit in the security immediately prior to the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment.

Expected future cash flows for debt securities are based on qualitative and quantitative factors specific to each security, including the probability of default and the estimated timing and amount of recovery. The detailed inputs used to project expected future cash flows may be different depending on the nature of the individual debt security. Specifically, the cash flows expected to be collected for each non-agency mortgage-backed security are estimated by analyzing loan-level detail to estimate future cash flows from the underlying assets, which are then applied to the security based on the underlying contractual provisions of the securitization trust that issued the security (e.g. subordination levels, remaining payment terms, etc.). The Company uses third-party software to determine how the underlying collateral cash flows will be distributed to each security issued from the securitization trust. The primary assumptions used in estimating future collateral cash flows are prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severity. In developing these assumptions, the Company considers the financial condition of the borrower, loan to value ratio, loan type and geographical location of the underlying property. The Company utilizes publicly available information related to specific assets, generally available market data such as forward interest rate curves and CoreLogic’s securities, loans and property data and market analytics tools.

The table below summarizes the primary assumptions used at September 30, 2011 in estimating the cash flows expected to be collected for these securities.

	Weighted average			Range
Prepayment speeds		4.5	%	3.6% – 5.6%
Default rates		6.0	%	1.5% – 11.3%
Loss severity		46.0	%	8.0% – 61.4%

As a result of the Company’s security-level review, it recognized total other-than-temporary impairments of $7.9 million and $9.1 million on its non-agency mortgage-backed securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, of which $3.9 million and $5.2 million of other-than-temporary impairment losses were considered to be credit related and were recognized in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, while $3.9 million of other-than-temporary impairment losses were considered to be related to factors other than credit and were therefore recognized in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The amounts remaining in other comprehensive income should not be recorded in earnings because the losses were not considered to be credit related based on the Company’s other-than-temporary impairment analysis as discussed above.

It is possible that the Company could recognize additional other-than-temporary impairment losses on some securities it owns at September 30, 2011 if future events or information cause it to determine that a decline in value is other-than-temporary.

The following table presents the change in the credit portion of the other-than-temporary impairments recognized in earnings on debt securities for which a portion of the other-than-temporary impairments related to other factors was recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Other-than-temporary impairment—equity securities

When, in the Company’s opinion, a decline in the fair value of an equity security, including common and preferred stock, is considered to be other-than-temporary, such equity security is written down to its fair value. When assessing if a decline in value is other-than-temporary, the factors considered include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost, the probability that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the security, the seniority of the securities, issuer-specific news and other developments, the financial condition and prospects of the issuer (including credit ratings), macro-economic changes (including the outlook for industry sectors, which includes government policy initiatives) and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery.

When an equity security has been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months, the Company’s review of the security includes the above noted factors as well as what evidence, if any, exists to support that the security will recover its value in the foreseeable future, typically within the next twelve months. If objective, substantial evidence does not indicate a likely recovery during that timeframe, the Company’s policy is that such losses are considered other-than-temporary and therefore an impairment loss is recorded. The Company did not record material other-than-temporary impairments related to its equity securities for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

At September 30, 2011, the Company owned 8.9 million shares of CoreLogic common stock with a cost basis of $167.6 million and an estimated fair value of $95.3 million. While the Company’s investment in CoreLogic common stock has not been in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months, the Company assessed its investment in CoreLogic for other-than-temporary impairment due to the significant decline in fair value during the third quarter of 2011 and the significant amount of shares owned. In August 2011, CoreLogic announced that its board of directors had formed a committee of independent directors to explore options aimed at enhancing shareholder value including cost savings initiatives, an evaluation of CoreLogic’s capital structure, repurchases of debt and common stock, the disposition of business lines, the sale or business combination of CoreLogic and other alternatives. CoreLogic’s board of directors also announced that it retained a financial adviser to assist the committee in its evaluation. Based on the factors considered, the Company’s opinion is the decline in the fair value of CoreLogic’s common stock is not other-than-temporary; therefore, the unrealized loss of $72.3 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The factors considered by the Company include, but are not limited to, (i) the fair value of the common stock has been below cost for less than twelve months, (ii) the Company has the ability and intent to hold the common stock for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery, (iii) CoreLogic’s committee of independent directors is in the process of exploring options aimed at enhancing shareholder value, which the Company views as a positive factor, even though the impact of this evaluation is uncertain. It is possible that the Company could recognize an other-than-temporary impairment related to its CoreLogic common stock if future events or information cause it to determine that the decline in value is other-than-temporary. The Company will continue to closely monitor and regularly review its investment in CoreLogic common stock.

Fair value measurement

The Company classifies the fair value of its debt and equity securities using a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy level assigned to each security in the Company’s available-for-sale portfolio is based on management’s assessment of the transparency and reliability of the inputs used in the valuation of such instrument at the measurement date. The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. The fair value of equity securities are classified as Level 1.

Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. The Level 2 category includes U.S. Treasury bonds, municipal bonds, foreign bonds, governmental agency bonds, governmental agency mortgage-backed securities and corporate debt securities, many of which are actively traded and have market prices that are readily verifiable.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment. The Level 3 category includes non-agency mortgage-backed securities which are currently not actively traded.

If the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial security’s hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation techniques and inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt and equity securities are summarized as follows:

Debt Securities

The fair value of debt securities was based on the market values obtained from an independent pricing service that were evaluated using pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information and price quotes from well-established independent broker-dealers. The independent pricing service monitors market indicators, industry and economic events, and for broker-quoted only securities, obtains quotes from market makers or broker-dealers that it recognizes to be market participants. The pricing service utilizes the market approach in determining the fair value of the debt securities held by the Company. Additionally, the Company obtains an understanding of the valuation models and assumptions utilized by the service and has controls in place to determine that the values provided represent fair value. The Company’s validation procedures include comparing prices received from the pricing service to quotes received from other third party sources for securities with market prices that are readily verifiable. If the price comparison results in differences over a predefined threshold, the Company will assess the reasonableness of the changes relative to prior periods given the prevailing market conditions and assess changes in the issuers’ credit worthiness, performance of any underlying collateral and prices of the instrument relative to similar issuances. To date, the Company has not made any material adjustments to the fair value measurements provided by the pricing service.

Typical inputs and assumptions to pricing models used to value the Company’s U.S. Treasury bonds, governmental agency bonds, governmental agency mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, foreign bonds and corporate debt securities include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, credit spreads, credit ratings, bond insurance (if applicable), benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data and industry and economic events. For mortgage-backed securities, inputs and assumptions may also include the structure of issuance, characteristics of the issuer, collateral attributes and prepayment speeds. The fair value of non-agency mortgage-backed securities was obtained from the independent pricing service referenced above and subject to the Company’s validation procedures discussed above. However, due to the fact that these securities were not actively traded, there was less observable inputs available requiring the pricing service to use more judgment in determining the fair value of the securities, therefore the Company classified non-agency mortgage-backed securities as Level 3.

Equity Securities

The fair value of equity securities, including preferred and common stocks, were based on quoted market prices for identical assets that are readily and regularly available in an active market.

The following table presents the Company’s available-for-sale investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, classified using the three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements:

The Company performs an analysis of its allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. In determining the allowance, the Company considers various factors, such as changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, changes in the trend of the volume and severity of past due and classified loans, changes to the concentration of credit, as well as changes in legal and regulatory requirements. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that is considered appropriate by the Company to provide for known risks in its portfolio.

Loss reserves are established for notes receivable based upon an estimate of probable losses for the individual notes. A loss reserve is established on an individual note when it is deemed probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the note. The loss reserve is based upon the Company’s assessment of the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources and payment record; and, if appropriate, the realizable value of any collateral. These estimates consider all available evidence including the expected future cash flows, estimated fair value of collateral on secured notes, general economic conditions and trends, and other relevant factors, as appropriate. Notes are placed on non-accrual status when management determines that the collectability of contractual amounts is not reasonably assured.

Note 5 – Goodwill

A reconciliation of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by operating segment, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, is as follows:

(in thousands)	Title Insurance			Specialty Insurance		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2010	$	765,266		$	46,765	$	812,031

The Company’s four reporting units for purposes of testing impairment are title insurance, home warranty, property and casualty insurance and trust and other services. There is no accumulated impairment for goodwill as the Company has never recognized any impairment for its reporting units.

In accordance with accounting guidance and consistent with prior years, the Company’s policy is to perform an annual goodwill impairment test for each reporting unit in the fourth quarter. An impairment analysis has not been performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as no triggering events requiring such an analysis occurred.

Note 6 – Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consist of the following:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Finite-lived intangible assets:
Customer lists	$	70,927		$	72,854

	$	61,747		$	70,050

Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $3.4 million and $10.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, and $3.5 million and $10.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets anticipated for the next five years is as follows:

Year	(in thousands)
Remainder of 2011	$	3,210
2012	$	11,303
2013	$	10,284
2014	$	5,907
2015	$	3,074
2016	$	2,188

Note 7 – Loss Reserves

A summary of the Company’s loss reserves, broken down into its components of known title claims, incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”) and non-title claims, follows:

(in thousands, except percentages)	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
Known title claims	$	185,975	17.5	%	$	192,268	17.4	%
IBNR		836,229	79.0	%		875,627	79.0	%
Total title claims		1,022,204	96.5	%		1,067,895	96.4	%
Non-title claims		36,699	3.5	%		40,343	3.6	%
Total loss reserves	$	1,058,903	100.0	%	$	1,108,238	100.0	%

The provision for title insurance losses was $69.5 million, or 9.7% of title premiums and escrow fees, and $206.2 million, or 9.8% of title premiums and escrow fees, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The current quarter rate of 9.7% reflects an ultimate loss rate of 5.8% for the current policy year, and includes $14.7 million in unfavorable development for prior policy years, primarily 2007, and a $13.0 million charge in connection with Bank of America’s pending lawsuit against the Company. The current nine month period rate of 9.8% reflects a $45.3 million reserve strengthening adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2011 related to a guaranteed valuation product offered in Canada that experienced a meaningful increase in claims activity during the first quarter of 2011. The Company also recorded a charge of $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2011, which reflected adverse development for certain prior policy years, primarily policy year 2007.

For additional discussion regarding the Bank of America lawsuit see Note 15 Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate (income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes) was 44.6% and 40.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and 40.4% and 40.9% for the same periods of the prior year. The differences between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% and the effective rates were primarily attributable to losses in foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was provided, and the impact of state taxes.

In connection with the Separation, the Company and TFAC entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement, dated June 1, 2010 (the “Tax Sharing Agreement”), which governs the Company’s and CoreLogic’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations for certain tax related matters. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, CoreLogic will prepare and file the consolidated federal income tax return, and any other tax returns that include both CoreLogic and the Company for all taxable periods ending on or prior to June 1, 2010. The Company will prepare and file all tax returns that include solely the Company for all taxable periods ending after that date. As part of the Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company is contingently responsible for 50% of certain Separation-related tax liabilities. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company had a payable to CoreLogic of $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to these matters which is included in due to CoreLogic, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a net payable to CoreLogic of $53.1 million and $61.5 million, respectively, related to tax matters prior to the Separation. This amount is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet in due to CoreLogic, net. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a $5.6 million increase to stockholders’ equity related to the Separation as a result of revising the estimate of the Company’s tax liability to be included in CoreLogic’s consolidated tax return for 2010.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the Company’s forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings.

During the current quarter, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $20.9 million against certain of its deferred tax assets. Specifically, management determined that it was not more likely than not that a portion of its tax capital loss carryforward will be realized prior to its expiration date, as the result of significant market value declines in its equity securities portfolio during the current quarter. Application of the accounting guidance related to intraperiod tax allocations resulted in recording the valuation allowance in other comprehensive income.

The Company continues to monitor the realizability of recognized losses, impairment losses, and unrecognized losses for which there is no associated valuation allowance, recorded through September 30, 2011. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the tax benefits associated with those losses will be realized. However, this determination is a judgment and could be impacted by further market fluctuations, among other factors.

As of September 30, 2011, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $16.0 million. This liability can be reduced by $2.8 million of offsetting tax benefits associated with the correlative effects of potential adjustments including state income taxes and timing adjustments. The net amount of $13.2 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. At December 31, 2010, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $11.1 million.

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in tax expense. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had accrued $3.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of interest and penalties (net of tax benefits) related to uncertain tax positions.

It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax positions may significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. These changes may be the result of items such as ongoing audits or the expiration of federal and state statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and various non-U.S. jurisdictions. The primary non-federal jurisdictions are California, Oregon, Michigan, Texas, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years prior to 2005.

Basic	$	0.20	$	0.32	$	0.36	$	0.78
Diluted	$	0.20	$	0.31	$	0.36	$	0.76

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, basic earnings per share was computed using the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Separation, as if such shares were outstanding for the entire period prior to the Separation, plus the weighted average number of such shares outstanding following the Separation through September 30, 2010.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, diluted earnings per share was computed using (i) the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Separation, (ii) the weighted average number of such shares outstanding following the Separation through September 30, 2010, and (iii) if dilutive, the incremental common stock that the Company would issue upon the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) using the treasury stock method.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, 1.3 million and 1.2 million, respectively, of stock options and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, 1.4 million stock options and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect.

Note 10 – Employee Benefit Plans

In connection with the Separation, the following occurred with respect to employee benefit plans:

• The Company adopted TFAC’s 401(k) Savings Plan, which is now the First American Financial Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan. The account balances of employees of CoreLogic who had previously participated in TFAC’s 401(k) Savings Plan were transferred to the CoreLogic, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan.

• The Company adopted TFAC’s deferred compensation plan. The Company assumed the portion of the deferred compensation liability associated with its employees and former employees of its businesses and CoreLogic assumed the portion of the deferred compensation liability associated with its employees and former employees of its businesses. Plan assets were divided in the same proportion as liabilities.

• The Company assumed TFAC’s defined benefit pension plan, which was closed to new entrants effective December 31, 2001 and amended to “freeze” all benefit accruals as of April 30, 2008. The Company assumed the entire benefit obligation and all the plan assets associated with the defined benefit pension plan, including the portion attributable to participants who were employees of the businesses retained by CoreLogic in connection with the Separation, and CoreLogic issued a $19.9 million note payable to the Company which approximated the unfunded portion of the benefit obligation attributable to those participants. In September 2011, the Company received $17.3 million from CoreLogic in satisfaction of the remaining balance of the note. See Note 17 Transactions with CoreLogic/TFAC to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of this note receivable from CoreLogic.

• The Company adopted TFAC’s supplemental benefit plans. The Company assumed the portion of the benefit obligation associated with its employees and former employees of its businesses and CoreLogic assumed the portion of the benefit obligation associated with its employees and former employees of its businesses. The benefit obligation associated with certain participants was divided evenly between the Company and CoreLogic.

No material changes were made to the terms and conditions of the employee benefit plans assumed by the Company in connection with the Separation.

Prior to the Separation, the Company’s employees participated in TFAC’s benefit plans, including a 401(k) savings plan, a defined benefit pension plan, supplemental benefit plans and a deferred compensation plan. The Company recorded the expense associated with its employees that participated in TFAC’s benefit plans.

Net periodic cost related to (i) the Company’s employees’ participation in TFAC’s defined benefit pension and supplemental benefit plans prior to the Separation and (ii) the Company’s defined benefit pension and supplemental benefit plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 includes the following components:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,						For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

The Company contributed $28.1 million to the defined benefit pension and supplemental benefit plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and expects to contribute an additional $8.9 million during the remainder of 2011. These contributions include both those required by funding regulations as well as discretionary contributions necessary to provide benefit payments to participants of certain of the Company’s non-qualified supplemental benefit plans.

Note 11 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Guidance requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value. In the measurement of the fair value of certain financial instruments, other valuation techniques were utilized if quoted market prices were not available. These derived fair value estimates are significantly affected by the assumptions used. Additionally, the guidance excludes certain financial instruments including those related to insurance contracts.

In estimating the fair value of the financial instruments presented, the Company used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.

Accounts and accrued income receivable, net

The carrying amount for accounts and accrued income receivable, net is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term maturity of these assets.

Loans receivable, net

The fair value of loans receivable, net was estimated based on the discounted value of the future cash flows using the current rates being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

25

Investments

The carrying amount of deposits with savings and loan associations and banks is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term nature.

The methodology for determining the fair value of debt and equity securities is discussed in Note 3 Debt and Equity Securities to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

As other long-term investments, which consist primarily of investments in affiliates, are not publicly traded, reasonable estimate of the fair values could not be made without incurring excessive costs.

The fair value of the note receivable from CoreLogic is estimated based on the discounted value of the future cash flows using the current rates being offered for loans with similar terms to third party borrowers of similar credit quality.

Deposits

The carrying value of escrow and passbook accounts approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of this liability. The fair value of investment certificate accounts was estimated based on the discounted value of future cash flows using a discount rate approximating current market rates for similar liabilities.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

The carrying amount for accounts payable and accrued liabilities is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term maturity of these liabilities.

Due to CoreLogic, net

The carrying amount for due to CoreLogic, net is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term maturity of this liability.

Notes and contracts payable

The fair values of notes and contracts payable were estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are presented in the following table.

	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010

Note 12 – Share-Based Compensation

Prior to the Separation, the Company participated in TFAC’s share-based compensation plans and the Company’s employees were issued TFAC equity awards. The equity awards consisted of RSUs and stock options. At the date of the Separation, TFAC’s outstanding equity awards for employees of the Company and former employees of its businesses were converted into equity awards of the Company with adjustments to the number of shares underlying each such award and, with respect to options, adjustments to the per share exercise price of each such award, to maintain the pre-separation value of such awards. No material changes were made to the vesting terms or other terms and conditions of the awards. As the post-separation value of the equity awards was equal to the pre-separation value and no material changes were made to the terms and conditions applicable to the awards, no incremental expense was recognized by the Company related to the conversion.

In connection with the Separation, the Company established the First American Financial Corporation 2010 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Compensation Plan”). The Incentive Compensation Plan was adopted by the Company’s board of directors and approved by TFAC, as the Company’s sole stockholder, on May 28, 2010. Eligible participants in the Incentive Compensation Plan include the Company’s directors and officers, as well as other employees. The Incentive Compensation Plan permits the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, performance units, performance shares and other stock-based awards. Under the terms of the Incentive Compensation Plan, 16.0 million shares of common stock can be awarded from either authorized and unissued shares or previously issued shares acquired by the Company, subject to certain annual limits on the amounts that can be awarded based on the type of award granted. The Incentive Compensation Plan terminates 10 years from the effective date unless cancelled prior to that date by the Company’s board of directors.

In connection with the Separation, the Company established the First American Financial Corporation 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase common stock of the Company at 85.0% of the closing price on the last day of each month. Prior to the Separation, the Company’s employees participated in TFAC’s employee stock purchase plan.

The following table presents the share-based compensation expense associated with (i) the Company’s employees that participated in TFAC’s share-based compensation plans prior to the Separation and (ii) the Company’s share-based compensation plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity

In March 2011, the Company’s board of directors approved a stock repurchase plan which authorizes the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time by the Company in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. As of September 30, 2011, no common stock had been repurchased by the Company under the plan.

Note 15 – Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of non-ordinary course lawsuits. Frequently these lawsuits are similar in nature to other lawsuits pending against the Company’s competitors.

For those non-ordinary course lawsuits where the Company has determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability representing the best estimate of the Company’s financial exposure based on known facts has been recorded. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded.

For a substantial majority of these lawsuits, however, it is not possible to assess the probability of loss. Most of these lawsuits are putative class actions which require a plaintiff to satisfy a number of procedural requirements before proceeding to trial. These requirements include, among others, demonstration to a court that the law proscribes in some manner the Company’s activities, the making of factual allegations sufficient to suggest that the Company’s activities exceeded the limits of the law and a determination by the court – known as class certification – that the law permits a group of individuals to pursue the case together as a class. If these procedural requirements are not met, either the lawsuit cannot proceed or, as is the case with class certification, the plaintiffs lose the financial incentive to proceed with the case (or the amount at issue effectively becomes de minimus). Frequently, a court’s determination as to these procedural requirements is subject to appeal to a higher court. As a result of, among other factors, ambiguities and inconsistencies in the myriad laws applicable to the Company’s business and the uniqueness of the factual issues presented in any given lawsuit, the Company often cannot determine the probability of loss until a court has finally determined that a plaintiff has satisfied applicable procedural requirements.

Furthermore, because most of these lawsuits are putative class actions, it is often impossible to estimate the possible loss or a range of loss amounts, even where the Company has determined that a loss is reasonably possible. Generally class actions involve a large number of people and the effort to determine which people satisfy the requirements to become plaintiffs—or class members—is often time consuming and burdensome. Moreover, these lawsuits raise complex factual issues which result in uncertainty as to their outcome and, ultimately, make it difficult for the Company to estimate the amount of damages which a plaintiff might successfully prove. In addition, many of the Company’s businesses are regulated by various federal, state, local and foreign governmental agencies and are subject to numerous statutory guidelines. These regulations and statutory guidelines often are complex, inconsistent or ambiguous, which results in additional uncertainty as to the outcome of a given lawsuit—including the amount of damages a plaintiff might be afforded—or makes it difficult to analogize experience in one case or jurisdiction to another case or jurisdiction.

Most of the non-ordinary course lawsuits to which the Company and its subsidiaries are parties challenge practices in the Company’s title insurance business, though a limited number of cases also pertain to the Company’s other businesses. These lawsuits include, among others, cases alleging, among other assertions, that the Company, one of its subsidiaries and/or one of its agents:

• charged an improper rate for title insurance in a refinance transaction, including

• Boucher v. First American Title Insurance Company, filed on May 16, 2007 and pending in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington,

• Campbell v. First American Title Insurance Company, filed on August 16, 2008 and pending in the United States District Court for the District of Maine,

• Hamilton v. First American Title Insurance Company, filed on August 22, 2007 and pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas,

• Tello v. First American Title Insurance Company, filed on July 14, 2009 and pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.

All of these lawsuits are putative class actions. A court has granted class certification only in Campbell, Hamilton (North Carolina), Johnson, Lewis, Raffone and Slapikas. An appeal to a higher court is pending with respect to the granting of class certification in Hamilton (North Carolina). For the reasons stated above, the Company has been unable to assess the probability of loss or estimate the possible loss or the range of loss or, where the Company has been able to make an estimate, the Company believes the amount is immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.

• Galiano v. First American Title Insurance Company, et al., filed on February 8, 2008 and pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

Galiano is a putative class action for which a class has not been certified. In Edwards a narrow class has been certified. The United States Supreme Court is reviewing whether the Edwards plaintiff has the legal right to sue. For the reasons stated above, the Company has been unable to assess the probability of loss or estimate the possible loss or the range of loss.

• Swick v. First American Title Insurance Company, et al., filed March 19, 2008, and pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.

All of these lawsuits are putative class actions for which a class has not been certified. Consequently, for the reasons described above, the Company has not yet been able to assess the probability of loss or estimate the possible loss or the range of loss.

• Wilmot v. First American Financial Corporation, et al., filed on April 20, 2007 and pending in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles.

All of these lawsuits, except Sjobring, are putative class actions for which a class has not been certified. In Sjobring a class has been certified, however that ruling is subject to an appeal. Consequently, for the reasons described above, the Company has not yet been able to assess the probability of loss or estimate the possible loss or the range of loss.

While some of the lawsuits described above may be material to the Company’s operating results in any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, the Company does not believe that any of these lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition.

Additionally, on March 5, 2010, Bank of America, N.A. filed a complaint in the North Carolina General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division against United General Title Insurance Company and First American Title Insurance Company. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants failed to pay or failed to timely respond to certain claims made on title insurance policies issued in connection with home equity loans or lines of credit that are now in default. In the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that it sustained more than $235 million in losses with respect to denied claims and more than $300 million in losses with respect to claims with untimely responses. According to the complaint, these title insurance policies, which did not require a title search, were intended to protect against the risks of certain defects in the title to real property, including undisclosed intervening liens, vesting problems and legal description errors, that would have been discovered if a full title search had been conducted. As indicated in the complaint, Fiserv Solutions, Inc. (“Fiserv”), as agent for the defendants, was authorized to issue certificates evidencing that a given loan was insured. The complaint also indicates that plaintiff was required to

AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

(Unaudited)

satisfy certain criteria before title would be insured. This involved (a) reviewing borrower statements to the lender when applying for the loan, (b) reviewing the borrower’s credit report and (c) addressing secured mortgages appearing on the credit report which did not appear on the borrower’s loan application. The plaintiff alleges that the failure to pay or timely respond to the subject claims was done in bad faith and constitutes a breach of the title insurance policies issued to the plaintiff. The plaintiff is seeking monetary damages, punitive damages where permitted, treble damages where permitted, attorneys fees and costs where permitted, declaratory judgment and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.

On April 1, 2010, the Company filed an answer to Bank of America’s complaint and filed a third party complaint within the same litigation against Fiserv for breach of contract, indemnification and other matters. The Company’s agreement with Fiserv required Fiserv, among other things, to ensure that the Company’s policies were issued in accordance with prudent practices, to refrain from issuing the Company’s policies unless it had determined the product could be properly issued in accordance with the Company’s standards and to provide reasonable assistance in claims handling. The agreement also required Fiserv to indemnify the Company for certain losses, including losses resulting from Fiserv’s failure to comply with its agreement with the Company or with Company instructions or from its negligence or misconduct.

In June and July 2011, the Company, Bank of America and Fiserv concluded the first two stages of a three stage non-binding mediation process. Though the process was expected to conclude at the end of August 2011, the parties agreed to delay the final stage of the process until the fourth quarter of 2011.

In preparation for the final stage of the mediation process, the Company performed a detailed analysis on the claims that are the subject of the lawsuit. As a result of this effort, the Company estimated its financial exposure to be between $13.0 million and $42.0 million and determined that the best estimate of its financial exposure is $13.0 million. The Company has offered to settle the lawsuit for $13.0 million. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $13.0 million adjustment during the third quarter of 2011 to reserve for known and incurred but not reported claims on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The amount recorded does not reflect any recovery the Company may receive from Fiserv or the Company’s insurance carriers.

If the plaintiff does not accept the settlement offer the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit is subject to a number of uncertainties, including (a) the amount of responsibility that a court may apportion to Fiserv, (b) whether a court determines that the defendants are entitled to certain documents requested as part of the claims submission process, (c) the contents of those documents, (d) whether a court interprets the measure of loss and other provisions of the title insurance policies and other agreements that are the subject of the lawsuit in a manner consistent with the Company’s understanding, (d) whether a court makes factual determinations that are consistent with the assumptions used in, and the conclusions drawn from, the analysis mentioned above and (e) the outcome of future mediation efforts, if any. If these uncertainties are resolved in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company, the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.

The Company also is a party to non-ordinary course lawsuits other than those described above. With respect to these lawsuits, the Company has determined either that a loss is not probable or that the possible loss or range of loss is not material to the financial statements as a whole.

The Company’s title insurance, property and casualty insurance, home warranty, thrift, trust and investment advisory businesses are regulated by various federal, state and local governmental agencies. Many of the Company’s other businesses operate within statutory guidelines. Consequently, the Company may from time to time be subject to audit or investigation by such governmental agencies. Currently, governmental agencies are auditing or investigating certain of the Company’s operations. These audits or investigations include inquiries into, among other matters, pricing and rate setting practices in the title insurance industry, competition in the title insurance industry, real estate settlement service customer acquisition and retention practices and agency relationships. With respect to matters where the Company has determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company has recorded a liability representing its best estimate of the financial exposure based on known facts. While the ultimate disposition of each such audit or investigation is not yet determinable, the Company does not believe that individually or in the aggregate they will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. These audits or investigations could, however, result in changes to the Company’s business practices which could ultimately have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company and its subsidiaries also are involved in numerous ongoing routine legal and regulatory proceedings related to their operations. While the ultimate disposition of each proceeding is not determinable, the ultimate resolution of any of such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period of disposition.

Note 17 – Transactions with CoreLogic/TFAC

Prior to the Separation, the Company had certain related party relationships with TFAC. The Company does not consider CoreLogic to be a related party subsequent to the Separation. The related party relationships with TFAC prior to the Separation and subsequent relationships with CoreLogic following the Separation are discussed further below.

Transactions with TFAC prior to the Separation

Prior to the Separation, the Company was allocated corporate income and overhead expenses from TFAC for corporate-related functions based on an allocation methodology that considered the number of the Company’s domestic headcount, the Company’s total assets and total revenues or a combination of those drivers. General corporate overhead expense allocations include executive management, tax, accounting and auditing, legal and treasury services, payroll, human resources and certain employee benefits and marketing and communications. The Company was allocated general net corporate expenses from TFAC of $23.3 million in 2010 prior to the Separation, which are included within the investment income, net realized investment gains, personnel costs, other operating expenses, depreciation and amortization and interest expense line items in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company considers the basis on which the expenses were allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the pre-separation periods presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Company would have incurred as an independent publicly traded company for these periods. Actual costs that may have been incurred as a stand-alone company during these periods would have depended on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, the functions outsourced versus performed by employees and strategic decisions in areas such as information technology and infrastructure. Following the Separation, the Company is no longer allocated corporate income and overhead expense, as the Company performs these functions using its own resources.

Prior to the Separation, a portion of TFAC’s combined debt, in the amount of $140.0 million, was allocated to the Company based on amounts directly incurred for the Company’s benefit. Net interest expense was allocated in the same proportion as debt. The Company believes the allocation basis for debt and net interest expense was reasonable. However, these amounts may not be indicative of the actual amounts that the Company would have incurred had it been operating as an independent publicly traded company for the period prior to June 1, 2010. Additionally, on January 31, 2010, the Company entered into a note payable with TFAC totaling $29.1 million. In connection with the Separation, the Company borrowed $200.0 million under its revolving credit facility and transferred such funds to CoreLogic, which fully satisfied the Company’s $140.0 million allocated portion of TFAC debt and the $29.1 million note payable to TFAC. The remaining $30.9 million transferred to CoreLogic was reflected as a distribution to CoreLogic in connection with the Separation.

Transactions with CoreLogic following the Separation

In connection with the Separation, the Company and TFAC entered into various transition services agreements with effective dates of June 1, 2010. The agreements include transitional services in the areas of information technology, tax, accounting and finance, employee benefits and internal audit. Except for the information technology services agreements, the transition services agreements are short-term in nature. The Company incurred the net amounts of $1.7 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $2.9 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, under these agreements which are included in other operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income. No amounts were reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income prior to June 1, 2010, as the transition services agreements were not effective prior to the Separation.

Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement and other agreements, subject to certain exceptions contained in the Tax Sharing Agreement, each of the Company and CoreLogic agreed to assume and be responsible for 50% of certain of TFAC’s contingent and other corporate liabilities. All external costs and expenses associated with the management of these contingent and other corporate liabilities are to be shared equally. These contingent and other corporate liabilities primarily relate to consolidated securities litigation and any actions with respect to the Separation brought by any third party. Contingent and other corporate liabilities that are related to only TFAC’s information solutions or financial services businesses are generally fully allocated to CoreLogic or the Company, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, no accruals were considered necessary for such liabilities.

In connection with the Separation, TFAC issued to the Company and FATICO a number of shares of its common stock that resulted in the Company and FATICO collectively owning 12.9 million shares of CoreLogic’s common stock immediately following the Separation. Under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, if the Company chooses to dispose of 1% or more of CoreLogic’s outstanding common stock at a given date, the Company must first provide CoreLogic with the option to purchase the shares. The Company has agreed to dispose of the shares within five years after the Separation or to bear any adverse tax consequences arising as a result of holding the shares for a longer period. The CoreLogic common stock is classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses classified as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. In April 2011, FATICO sold 4.0 million shares of CoreLogic common stock for an

35

aggregate cash price of $75.8 million and recorded a gain of $0.8 million related to the sale. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the cost basis of the CoreLogic common stock was $167.6 million and $242.6 million, respectively, with an estimated fair value of $95.3 million and $239.5 million, respectively. The CoreLogic common stock is included in equity securities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As discussed in Note 3 Debt and Equity Securities to the condensed consolidated financial statements, in August 2011, CoreLogic issued a press release announcing that its board of directors has formed a committee of independent directors to explore options aimed at enhancing shareholder value including cost savings initiatives, an evaluation of CoreLogic’s capital structure, repurchases of debt and common stock, the disposition of business lines, the sale or business combination of CoreLogic and other alternatives. CoreLogic’s board of directors also announced that it retained a financial adviser to assist the committee in its evaluation.

The Company has evaluated its rights, and reserves those rights, as CoreLogic’s largest shareholder and as a party to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and related agreements pertaining to the Separation. The Company has notified CoreLogic of its intention to enforce those rights. In addition, the Company has discussed, and intends to continue to discuss the options specified in the press release with CoreLogic’s financial adviser and management, the committee of independent directors and other directors. In particular, the Company has notified CoreLogic of its concern that the timing of the strategic review process, which coincides with difficult conditions in the economy and, in particular, the real estate market, as well as generally depressed equity market valuations, could result in a sale of the entire company at a price that would not be beneficial to CoreLogic’s long-term shareholders. The Company has therefore recommended that CoreLogic consider alternatives, such as the sale of certain non-core businesses, which the Company has made a non-binding offer to purchase, that would allow CoreLogic to focus on and invest in its core business. In the event CoreLogic decides, notwithstanding, to pursue a sale of the entire company, the Company has made a non-binding offer to purchase it.

The Company intends to regularly review its investment in CoreLogic. Based on such review, as well as other factors (including, among other things, its evaluation of CoreLogic’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market price for CoreLogic’s securities, other opportunities available to it and general market, industry and other economic conditions), the Company may, and reserves the right to, engage in discussions with management and the board of directors of CoreLogic and other holders of CoreLogic’s common shares, concerning the business, strategic transactions and future plans of CoreLogic generally.

Any future actions by the Company will depend upon CoreLogic’s decisions in pursuing options to enhance shareholder value.

On June 1, 2010, the Company received a note receivable from CoreLogic in the amount of $19.9 million that accrued interest at 6.52%. Interest was first due on July 1, 2010 and was due quarterly thereafter. The note receivable was due on May 31, 2017. The note approximated the unfunded portion of the benefit obligation attributable to participants of the defined benefit pension plan who were employees of TFAC’s businesses that were retained by CoreLogic in connection with the Separation. See Note 10 Employee Benefit Plans to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the defined benefit pension plan. In September 2011, the Company received $17.3 million from CoreLogic in satisfaction of the remaining balance of the note.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s federal savings bank subsidiary, First American Trust, FSB, held $4.0 million and $11.9 million, respectively, of interest and non-interest bearing deposits owned by CoreLogic. These deposits are included in deposits in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest expense on the deposits was immaterial for all periods presented.

Prior to the Separation, the Company owned three office buildings that were leased to the information solutions businesses of TFAC under the terms of formal lease agreements. In connection with the Separation, the Company distributed one of the office buildings to CoreLogic, and currently owns two office buildings that are leased to CoreLogic under the terms of formal lease agreements. Rental income associated with these properties totaled $1.1 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $1.1 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

The Company and CoreLogic are also parties to certain ordinary course commercial agreements and transactions. The expenses associated with these transactions, which primarily relate to purchases of data and other settlement services, totaled $3.5 million and $11.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $4.6 million and $14.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and are included in other operating expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company also sells data and provides other settlement services to CoreLogic through ordinary course commercial agreements and transactions resulting in revenues totaling $0.2 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and $3.7 million and $8.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, which are included in direct premiums and escrow fees and information and other in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

Prior to the Separation, certain transactions with TFAC were settled in cash and the remaining transactions were settled by non-cash capital contributions between the Company and TFAC, which resulted in net non-cash contributions from TFAC to the Company of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Following the Separation, all transactions with CoreLogic are settled, on a net basis, in cash.

Note 18 – Pending Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance that is intended to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The updated guidance permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test as required under current accounting guidance. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the more recent interim and annual period have not yet been issued. Management plans to adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2011, in connection with performing its annual goodwill impairment test, and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance that is intended to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements. The updated guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, and requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income. In addition, the option to present reclassification adjustments in the notes to financial statements has been eliminated. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Except for the disclosure requirements, management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance that is intended to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments are of two types: (i) those that clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and (ii) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. The updated guidance modifies the definition of the types of costs incurred by insurance entities that can be capitalized in the acquisition of new and renewal contracts. Under the updated guidance only costs based on successful efforts (that is, acquiring a new or renewal contract) including direct-response advertising costs are eligible for capitalization. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Critical accounting policies are those policies used in the preparation of First American Financial Corporation’s (the “Company’s”) financial statements that require management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingencies. A summary of these policies can be found in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires a reporting entity to disclose separately, a reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than one net number). The updated guidance is effective for interim or annual financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within the fiscal year. Except for the disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to credit risk disclosures for finance receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. The updated guidance requires entities to disclose information at disaggregated levels, specifically defined as “portfolio segments” and “classes”. Expanded disclosures include, among other things, roll-forward schedules of the allowance for credit losses and information regarding the credit quality of receivables (including their aging) as of the end of a reporting period. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2010, although the disclosures of reporting period activity are required for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to disclosure of supplementary pro forma information in connection with business combinations. The updated guidance clarifies the acquisition date that should be used for reporting pro forma financial information when comparative financial statements are presented. The updated guidance also expands supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

38

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to when goodwill impairment testing should include Step 2 for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The updated guidance modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts requiring those entities to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating an impairment may exist. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW

Corporate Update

The Company became a publicly traded company following its spin-off from its prior parent, The First American Corporation (“TFAC”) on June 1, 2010 (the “Separation”). On that date, TFAC distributed all of the Company’s outstanding shares to the record date shareholders of TFAC on a one-for-one basis (the “Distribution”). After the Distribution, the Company owned TFAC’s financial services businesses and TFAC, which reincorporated and assumed the name CoreLogic, Inc. (“CoreLogic”), continued to own its information solutions businesses. The Company’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the “FAF” ticker symbol and CoreLogic’s common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “CLGX.”

To effect the Separation, TFAC and the Company entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) that governs the rights and obligations of the Company and CoreLogic regarding the Distribution. It also governs the relationship between the Company and CoreLogic subsequent to the completion of the Separation and provides for the allocation between the Company and CoreLogic of TFAC’s assets and liabilities. The Separation and Distribution Agreement identifies assets, liabilities and contracts that were allocated between CoreLogic and the Company as part of the Separation and describes the transfers, assumptions and assignments of these assets, liabilities and contracts. In particular, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein:

• All of the assets and liabilities primarily related to the Company’s business—primarily the business and operations of TFAC’s title insurance and services segment and specialty insurance segment—have been retained by or transferred to the Company;

39

• All of the assets and liabilities primarily related to CoreLogic’s business—primarily the business and operations of TFAC’s data and analytic solutions, information and outsourcing solutions and risk mitigation and business solutions segments—have been retained by or transferred to CoreLogic;

• On the record date for the Distribution, TFAC issued to the Company and its principal title insurance subsidiary, First American Title Insurance Company (“FATICO”), a number of shares of its common stock that resulted in the Company and FATICO collectively owning 12.9 million shares of CoreLogic’s common stock immediately following the Separation, some of which have subsequently been sold; and

• The Company effectively assumed $200.0 million of the outstanding liability for indebtedness under TFAC’s senior secured credit facility through the Company’s borrowing and transferring to CoreLogic of $200.0 million under the Company’s credit facility in connection with the Separation.

The Separation resulted in a net distribution from the Company to TFAC of $151.0 million. In connection with such distribution, the Company assumed $22.1 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, which was primarily related to the Company’s assumption of the unfunded portion of the defined benefit pension obligation associated with participants who were employees of the businesses retained by CoreLogic.

Results of Operations

Summary of Third Quarter

A substantial portion of the revenues for the Company’s title insurance and services segment results from the sale, refinancings and foreclosures of residential and commercial real estate. In the specialty insurance segment, revenues associated with the initial year of coverage in both the home warranty and property and casualty operations are impacted by volatility in real estate transactions. Traditionally, the greatest volume of real estate activity, particularly residential resale, has occurred in the spring and summer months. However, changes in interest rates, as well as other economic factors, can cause fluctuations in the traditional pattern of real estate activity.

Residential mortgage originations in the United States (based on the total dollar value of the transactions) decreased 22.9% in the third quarter of 2011 when compared with the third quarter of 2010, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s October 11, 2011 Mortgage Finance Forecast (the “MBA Forecast”). According to the MBA Forecast, the dollar amount of purchase originations increased 1.0% and refinance originations decreased 31.3% in the third quarter of 2011 when compared with the third quarter of 2010.

Despite the low interest rate environment, which has had a favorable effect on many of the Company’s businesses, mortgage credit remains generally tight, which together with the uncertainty in general economic conditions, continues to impact the demand for most of the Company’s products and services. These conditions have also had an impact on, and continue to impact, the performance and financial condition of some of the Company’s customers; should these parties continue to encounter significant issues, those issues may lead to negative impacts on the Company’s revenues, claims, earnings and liquidity.

Management expects the above mentioned conditions will continue impacting the Company. Given the outlook for mortgage and real estate markets, the Company initiated, and substantially completed, an expense reduction program that is expected to yield approximately $40 million in annualized cost savings, which the Company began realizing in the third quarter of 2011. The program was primarily directed at shared service functions in the title insurance and services segment and is incremental to the Company’s ongoing efforts to manage expenses to order volumes at the division level.

Beginning at the end of September 2010, various lenders’ foreclosure processes came under the review and scrutiny of a number of regulators such as the state Attorneys General, the Federal Reserve and other agencies. Additionally, a growing number of court rulings have called into question some foreclosure practices and regulators have conducted and continue to conduct investigations into such practices. Many of the country’s largest lenders and other key parties also have entered into consent decrees which require them, among other things, to alter their foreclosure processes. Though the ultimate effect of the court rulings, regulatory investigations, consent decrees and related matters pertaining to foreclosure processing are

currently unknown, the Company believes that, as a result of these matters, its revenues tied to foreclosures have declined, and may continue to decline, especially in the short term, and the Company may incur costs associated with its duty to defend its insureds’ title to foreclosed properties they have purchased. As of the current date, these matters have not had a material adverse effect on the Company. Though the Company will continue to monitor foreclosure developments, at this time, the Company does not believe these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.

At September 30, 2011, the Company owned 8.9 million shares of CoreLogic common stock with a cost basis of $167.6 million and an estimated fair value of $95.3 million. On August 29, 2011, CoreLogic issued a press release announcing that its board of directors has formed a committee of independent directors to explore options aimed at enhancing shareholder value including cost savings initiatives, an evaluation of CoreLogic’s capital structure, repurchases of debt and common stock, the disposition of business lines, the sale or business combination of CoreLogic and other alternatives. CoreLogic’s board of directors also announced that it retained a financial adviser to assist the committee in its evaluation.

The Company has evaluated its rights, and reserves those rights, as CoreLogic’s largest shareholder and as a party to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and related agreements pertaining to the Separation. The Company has notified CoreLogic of its intention to enforce those rights. In addition, the Company has discussed, and intends to continue to discuss the options specified in the press release with CoreLogic’s financial adviser and management, the committee of independent directors and other directors. In particular, the Company has notified CoreLogic of its concern that the timing of the strategic review process, which coincides with difficult conditions in the economy and, in particular, the real estate market, as well as generally depressed equity market valuations, could result in a sale of the entire company at a price that would not be beneficial to CoreLogic’s long-term shareholders. The Company has therefore recommended that CoreLogic consider alternatives, such as the sale of certain non-core businesses, which the Company has made a non-binding offer to purchase, that would allow CoreLogic to focus on and invest in its core business. In the event CoreLogic decides, notwithstanding, to pursue a sale of the entire company, the Company has made a non-binding offer to purchase it.

The Company intends to regularly review its investment in CoreLogic. Based on such review, as well as other factors (including, among other things, its evaluation of CoreLogic’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market price for CoreLogic’s securities, other opportunities available to it and general market, industry and other economic conditions), the Company may, and reserves the right to, engage in discussions with management and the board of directors of CoreLogic and other holders of CoreLogic’s common shares, concerning the business, strategic transactions and future plans of CoreLogic generally.

Any future actions by the Company will depend upon CoreLogic’s decisions in pursuing options to enhance shareholder value.
