Ambac Assurance Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements
(Dollars in Thousands)

          (1)     Basis of Presentation

          Ambac Assurance Corporation is a leading provider of financial guarantee products to clients for both the public and private sectors around the world.  Ambac Assurance provides financial guarantees on public finance and structured finance obligations. Ambac Assurance has earned triple-A ratings, the highest ratings available from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Fitch, Inc., and Rating and Investment Information, Inc. Financial guarantees issued by Ambac Assurance guarantee payment when due of the principal of and interest on the obligation guaranteed. As of September 30, 2002, Ambac Assurance’s net guarantees in force (principal and interest) were $524,568,718. Ambac Assurance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Financial Group, Inc., a holding company whose subsidiaries provide financial guarantee products and financial services to clients in both the public and private sectors around the world.

          Ambac Assurance serves clients in international markets through its wholly-owned subsidiary Ambac Assurance UK Limited.

          Ambac Credit Products L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Assurance, also provides credit protection in the form of structured credit derivatives. These structured credit derivatives require that Ambac Credit Products make payments upon the occurrence of certain defined credit events relating to an underlying obligation (generally a fixed income obligation).  Should a credit event occur, Ambac Credit Products would generally pay an amount equivalent to the difference between the par value and market value of the underlying obligation. Substantially all of Ambac Credit Product’s contracts are partially hedged with various financial institutions or structured with first loss protection.

          Ambac Assurance, as the sole limited partner, owns a limited partnership interest representing 90% of the total partnership interests of Ambac Financial Services, L.P., a limited partnership which provides interest rate swaps primarily to states, municipalities and their authorities. The sole general partner of Ambac Financial Services, Ambac Financial Services Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac Financial Group, owns a general partnership interest representing 10% of the total partnership interest in Ambac Financial Services.

          The accompanying consolidated unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of Ambac Assurance’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the

Ambac Assurance Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued)

audited consolidated financial statements of Ambac Assurance and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2002 as Exhibit 99.01 to Ambac Financial Group Inc.’s Form 10-K.

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ambac Assurance and each of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated.

          Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period’s amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation.

          (2)     Accounting Standards

          In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS Statement 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. SFAS 142 addresses the initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets either singly or within a group of assets, as well as the measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their initial acquisition. SFAS 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives from an amortization approach to an impairment-only approach that requires that those assets be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives, but without an arbitrary ceiling on their useful lives. Ambac adopted SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002 and has determined that it has no impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

          In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS Statement 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”(“SFAS 143”.)  SFAS 143 requires companies to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets.  Companies also record a corresponding asset which is depreciated over the life of the asset.  Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation.  Ambac Assurance is required to adopt SFAS 143 on January 1, 2003. Ambac Assurance does not anticipate that SFAS will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

           In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS Statement 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”(“SFAS 144”.)  SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  This Statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. SFAS Statement 144 requires companies to separately report discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Ambac adopted SFAS 144 effective January 1, 2002. This statement did not have an effect on Ambac Assurance’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 results.
