National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1: Business, Developments, Risks and Uncertainties

National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (“National”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MBIA Inc. through an intermediary holding company, National Public Finance Guarantee Holdings, Inc. National Real Estate Holdings of Armonk, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of National.

Through its reinsurance of United States (“U.S.”) public finance financial guarantees from MBIA Insurance Corp. (“MBIA Corp.”) and Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, National’s insurance portfolio consists of municipal bonds, including tax-exempt and taxable indebtedness of U.S. political subdivisions, as well as utility districts, airports, healthcare institutions, higher educational facilities, student loan issuers, housing authorities and other similar agencies and obligations issued by private entities that finance projects that serve a substantial public purpose. Municipal bonds and privately issued bonds used for the financing of public purpose projects generally are supported by taxes, assessments, user fees or tariffs related to the use of these projects, by lease payments or by other similar types of revenue streams.

In August 2011, Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”) issued new guidelines that reflect significant changes to its rating methodology for financial guarantee insurers. These new guidelines are effective immediately. S&P expects to publish any changes to the ratings of National by November 30, 2011, after its review of National’s third quarter 2011 financial statements. The changes to S&P’s rating methodology substantially increase the amount of capital required to achieve its highest ratings, implement a new Largest Obligors Test, which is punitive in the rating assessment, and incorporate additional qualitative considerations into the ratings process. However, the effect on National’s ratings is uncertain. The absence of S&P’s highest ratings could adversely impact National’s ability to write new insurance business and the premiums it can charge, and could diminish the future acceptance of its financial guarantee insurance products.

National has not written any meaningful amount of business since 2009. The lack of insurance writings reflects the insurance financial strength credit ratings assigned to National by the credit rating agencies. As of September 30, 2011, National was rated BBB with a developing outlook by S&P and Baa1 with a developing outlook by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Litigation over the New York Department of Financial Services’ (“NYDFS”), previously referred to as New York State Insurance Department or NYSID, approval of National’s creation or additional hurdles in achieving high stable ratings may impede National’s ability to write new municipal bond insurance for some time, reducing its long-term ability to generate capital from operations. Failure to maintain adequate levels of statutory surplus and total statutory capital could lead to intervention by National’s insurance regulators in its operations.

Recently, many state and local governments that issue some of the obligations National insures have reported unprecedented budget shortfalls, which could lead to claims on insurance policies issued by National. Although National’s insurance loss reserves are considered reasonable estimates of losses incurred to date, there is a possibility that such losses could increase significantly as a result of unexpected future defaults on insured bonds.

Liquidity

Liquidity risk arises in National’s operations when claims on insured exposures result in payment obligations, when operating cash inflows fall due to depressed new business writings, when investment income declines, when unanticipated expenses arise, or when invested assets experience credit defaults or significant declines in fair value. National also provides liquid assets to MBIA Inc.’s asset/liability products segment through matched repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements to support its business operations and liquidity position. National believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its needs at least through the next twelve months.

Note 2: Revision of Prior Periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, National discovered errors in the recognition of refunded premiums earned related to refunding activities prior to July 1, 2011 on U.S. public finance financial guarantees assumed from its affiliate, MBIA Corp., under a reinsurance agreement. Certain financial guarantee policies ceded by MBIA Corp. and assumed by National were subsequently found to have been refunded by the issuers of the insured obligations prior to the date of the reinsurance agreement, which was January 1, 2009, and which related premiums should have been returned to and earned by MBIA Corp. but were instead recognized by National. These errors affected National’s previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2010 and for each of the previously issued quarters of 2010 and 2011. The cumulative effect of the errors related to prior periods was a decrease in National’s net income of $57 million.

National assessed the materiality of the above errors in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality and determined the errors were not material to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2010 and for each of the previously issued quarters of 2010 and 2011. However, the cumulative effect of the errors was determined to be material if the corrections were recorded in the consolidated financial statements

Note 2: Revision of Prior Periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2011. In accordance with SEC SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010, March 31 and June 30 of 2011, and the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011, the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and years ended December 31 of 2010 and 2009 have been revised in the accompanying financial statements to these footnotes. Additionally, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2010, as well as the quarters ended March 31 and June 30 of 2011 will be revised in National’s consolidated financial statements issued in the future to reflect the correction of the errors on those periods. National also revised prior periods for certain unrelated errors of an immaterial nature. There was no cumulative effect of these unrelated errors on prior periods.

The following table summarizes the correction of the errors on National’s consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011:

Note 3: Significant Accounting Policies

National has disclosed its significant accounting policies in “Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Exhibit 99.2 to MBIA Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The following significant accounting policies provide an update to those included under the same captions in Exhibit 99.2 to MBIA Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of National and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for annual periods. These statements should be read in conjunction with National’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Exhibit 99.2 to MBIA Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), but in the opinion of management such consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of National’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts become determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. The December 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual periods. Certain amounts have been reclassified in prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on total revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, or equity for all periods presented.

In addition, National evaluated all subsequent events as of November 9, 2011, the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements, for inclusion in National’s consolidated financial statements and/or accompanying notes.

Note 4: Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (Accounting Standards Update 2010-06)

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” to require additional disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The standard also clarifies existing disclosures about the level of disaggregation, valuation techniques and inputs to fair value measurements. National adopted this standard as of January 1, 2010 except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which was adopted in the first quarter of 2011. As this standard only affects disclosures related to fair value, the adoption of this standard did not affect National’s consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, or cash flows. Refer to “Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for these disclosures.

Refer to the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of National included in Exhibit 99.2 to MBIA Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further information regarding the effects of recently adopted accounting standards on prior year financials.

Recent Accounting Developments

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts (ASU 2010-26)

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26, “Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944)—Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts.” This amendment specifies which costs incurred in the acquisition of new and renewal insurance contracts should be capitalized. The new guidance is effective for National beginning January 1, 2012 with early adoption as of January 1, 2011 permitted. National did not early adopt the guidance as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on National’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations, or cash flows.

Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (ASU 2011-04)

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”. This amendment results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The new guidance is effective for National beginning January 1, 2012. This standard is expected to only affect National’s disclosures related to fair value, therefore, the adoption of this standard is not expected to affect National’s consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, or cash flows.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05)

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This amendment eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The amendment does not change what currently constitutes net income and other comprehensive income. The new guidance is effective for National beginning January 1, 2012. This standard will only affect National’s presentation of comprehensive income and will not affect National’s consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, or cash flows.

Testing Goodwill for Impairment (ASU 2011-08)

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the goodwill impairment test). If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. The new guidance is effective for National beginning January 1, 2012 with early adoption permitted. National did not early adopt the guidance. The adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on National’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, National incurred losses and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) of $5 million primarily related to a healthcare and a toll road transaction, partially offset by net reversals of estimated losses on affordable housing transactions. Additionally, a reversal of loss and LAE reserves related to future payments on a tax-backed transaction was offset by the reversal of the corresponding recoveries of such payments. Total paid losses, net of reinsurance and collections, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $110 million primarily related to a gaming revenue credit, a not-for-profit transaction, a student housing transaction, and a tax-backed transaction. Total expected insurance loss recoveries on paid losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $73 million primarily related to paid losses on a gaming revenue credit, a student housing transaction and a tax-backed transaction, all for which National expects to be fully reimbursed.

Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Exhibit 99.2 to MBIA Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for information about National’s monitoring of outstanding insured obligations and for a summary of its loss reserving process.

Remediation actions may involve, among other things, waivers or renegotiations of financial covenants or triggers, waivers of contractual provisions, the granting of consents, transfer of servicing, consideration of restructuring plans, acceleration, security or collateral enforcement, actions in bankruptcy or receivership, litigation and similar actions. The types of remedial actions pursued are based on the insured obligation’s risk type and the nature and scope of the event giving rise to the remediation. As part of any such remedial actions, National seeks to improve its security position and to obtain concessions from the issuer of the insured obligation. From time to time, the issuer of a National insured obligation may, with the consent of National, restructure the insured obligation by extending the term, increasing or decreasing the par amount or decreasing the related interest rate, with National insuring the restructured obligation.

Costs associated with remediating insured obligations assigned to National’s “Caution List—Low,” “Caution List—Medium,” “Caution List—High” and “Classified List” are recorded as LAE. LAE is primarily recorded as part of National’s provision for its loss reserves and included in “Losses and loss adjustment” expense on National’s consolidated statements of operations.

Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value and included in the preceding table are described below. National’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized according to the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fixed-Maturity Securities (including short-term investments) Held as Available-For-Sale, Investments Pledged as Collateral, and Investments at Fair Value

U.S. Treasury and government agency—U.S. Treasury securities are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. The fair value of U.S. Treasuries is based on live trading feeds. U.S. Treasury securities are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Government agency securities include debentures and other agency mortgage pass-through certificates as well as to-be-announced (“TBA”) securities. TBA securities are liquid and have quoted market prices based on live data feeds. Fair value of mortgage pass-through certificates is obtained via a simulation model, which considers different rate scenarios and historical activity to calculate a spread to the comparable TBA security. Government agency securities generally use market-based and observable inputs. As such, these securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate obligations—Corporate obligations are valued using recently executed transaction prices or quoted market price where observable. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined using a valuation model based on observable inputs including interest rate yield curves, bond or single name credit default swap (“CDS”) spreads for similar instruments and diversity scores. Corporate obligations are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Corporate obligations are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy when quoted market prices in an active market for identical financial instruments are available.

Mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities—Mortgage-backed securities (“MBSs”) and asset-backed securities (“ABSs”) are valued using recently executed transaction prices. When position-specific quoted prices are not available, the MBS and ABS are valued based on quoted prices for similar securities. If quoted prices are not available, MBSs and ABSs are valued using a valuation model based on observable inputs, including interest rate yield curves, spreads, prepayments and volatilities, and categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. MBSs and ABSs are categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when significant inputs are unobservable.

State and municipal bonds—State and municipal bonds are valued using recently executed transaction prices, quoted market prices or valuation models based on observable inputs including interest rate yield curves, bond or CDS spreads and volatility. State and municipal bonds are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy or categorized in Level 3 when significant inputs are unobservable.

Money market securities—The fair value of money market securities is based on quoted prices in an active market. These money market securities are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Investments—Other investments include National’s interest in perpetual and preferred securities. Fair value of other investments is determined using quoted market prices or pricing models of similar investments. Other investments are categorized in Level 2 or Level 3 when significant inputs are unobservable of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivable for Investments Sold, Payable for Investments Purchased

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these instruments.

13

National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell

The fair values of securities purchased under agreements to resell are determined based on the underlying securities posted as collateral for the resell agreements.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The fair values of securities sold under agreements to repurchase are determined based on the underlying securities posted as collateral for the repurchase agreements.

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative liabilities are valued using market-based inputs, including interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, and credit spreads. Derivative liabilities are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Guarantees

Gross Financial Guarantees—The fair value of gross financial guarantees is determined using discounted cash flow techniques based on inputs that include (i) assumptions of expected losses on financial guarantee policies where loss reserves have not been recognized, (ii) amount of losses expected on financial guarantee policies where loss reserves have been recognized, (iii) the cost of capital reserves required to support the financial guarantee liability and (iv) discount rates. The Assured Guaranty Corporation CDS spread and recovery rates are used as the discount rate for National and incorporate the nonperformance risk of National. Fair value of the gross financial guarantees does not consider future installment premium receipts or returns on invested upfront premiums as inputs.

The carrying value of National’s gross financial guarantee liability consists of unearned premium revenue and loss and LAE reserves as reported on National’s consolidated balance sheets.

Ceded Financial Guarantees—The fair value of ceded financial guarantees is determined by applying the percentage ceded to reinsurers to the related fair value of the gross financial guarantees. The carrying value of ceded financial guarantee liability consists of prepaid reinsurance premiums and reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid losses as reported on National’s consolidated balance sheets.

Transfers into and out of Level 3 were $2 million and $11 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Transfers into and out of Level 2 were $11 million and $2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Transfers into Level 3 were principally for other asset backed and perpetually preferred securities where inputs, which are significant to their valuation, became unobservable during the quarter. Transfers out of Level 3 were principally for other asset backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. These Level 2 inputs included spreads, prepayment speeds, default speeds, default severities, yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, and market corroborated inputs. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the net unrealized loss related to the transfers into Level 3 was $1 million and the net unrealized loss related to transfers out of Level 3 was not significant.

Transfers out of Level 3 and into Level 2 were $27 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Transfers out of Level 3 were for U.S. Treasury and government agency securities. There were no transfers into Level 3 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Note 7: Investments (continued)

The weighted average contractual maturity of securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2011 was 16 years and on December 31, 2010 was 22 years. As of September 30, 2011, there were 36 securities that were in an unrealized loss position for a continuous twelve-month period or longer with aggregate unrealized losses of $9 million. Among these securities, the book value of 5 securities exceeded market value by more than 5%. As of December 31, 2010, there were 36 securities that were in an unrealized loss position for a continuous twelve-month period or longer with aggregate unrealized losses of $22 million. Among these securities, the book value of 18 securities exceeded market value by more than 5%.

National has evaluated on a security-by-security basis whether the unrealized losses in its investment portfolio were other-than-temporary considering the duration and severity of unrealized losses, the circumstances that gave rise to the unrealized losses, and whether National has the intent to sell the securities or more likely than not will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recoveries. Based on its evaluation, National determined that the unrealized losses on these securities were temporary in nature because its impairment analysis, including projected discounted future cash flows, indicated that National would be able to recover the amortized cost of impaired assets. National also concluded that it does not have the intent to sell securities in an unrealized loss position and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell these securities before recoveries of their cost bases. In making this conclusion, National examined the cash flow projections for its investment portfolio, the potential sources and uses of cash in its businesses, and the cash resources available to its business other than sales of securities. It also considered the existence of any risk management, or other plans as of September 30, 2011 that would require the sale of impaired securities. On a quarterly basis, National re-evaluates the unrealized losses in its investment portfolio to determine whether an impairment loss should be realized in current earnings based on adverse changes in its expectation of cash flows and changes in its intent to sell securities.

Note 8: Investment Income and Gains and Losses

The following table presents National’s total investment income:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Note 9: Income Taxes

National’s income taxes and the related effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
In millions	2011			2010			2011			2010
Pre-tax income (loss)	$	132		$	165		$	384		$	405
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	40	30.3%	$	50	30.3%	$	108	28.1%	$	114	28.1%

National’s effective tax rate is lower than the statutory tax rate of 35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 primarily due to tax-exempt interest income.

As of September 30, 2011, National reported a deferred tax liability of $286 million.

As of September 30, 2011, National does not have any uncertain tax positions with respect to the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. National is a member of MBIA Inc.’s affiliated group for federal income tax purposes and files its income tax return as a member of the MBIA group. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the MBIA Consolidated Federal tax return for tax years 2004 through 2009. The examination is expected to be concluded before December 31, 2011, subject to review by the Joint Committee on Taxation.

National is a party to the MBIA tax sharing agreement and as of September 30, 2011, National has made four tax payments under the intercompany tax sharing agreement. The first payment of $114 million was made in preliminary settlement of National’s 2010 tax liability. The remaining three payments totaling $80 million represent 2011 quarterly estimates including one in third quarter. All funds are being placed in escrow by MBIA, Inc. and will remain in escrow until the expiration of a two year carryback period which would allow National to carryback a separate company tax loss and recover all or a portion of the escrowed funds.
