Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements As of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and for the Periods Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 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 guarantees for municipal and structured finance obligations. Ambac Assurance has earned triple-A ratings, the highest ratings available from Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, Fitch, Inc., and Rating and Investment Information, Inc. Financial guarantees underwritten by Ambac Assurance guarantee payment when due of the principal of and interest on the obligation guaranteed. In the case of a monetary default on the guaranteed bond, payments may not be accelerated by the policyholder without Ambac Assurance's consent. As of June 30, 2001, Ambac Assurance's net guarantees in force (principal and interest) were $447,975,474. Ambac Assurance is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ambac Financial Group, Inc., a holding company whose subsidiaries provide financial guarantees 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 a payment 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. The majority of Ambac Credit Product's structured credit derivatives have been structured with certain 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 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2001 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, Ambac Assurance Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements (Continued) 2001. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the audited consolidated financial statements of Ambac Assurance Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2001 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 Change In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS Statement 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". FAS 133, as amended by FAS 138 and related guidance, established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Ambac Assurance adopted FAS 133 and its related guidance on January 1, 2001 that resulted in no impact on the consolidated financial statements. (3) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets In July 2001, the FASB issued FAS Statement 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". FAS 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. FAS 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. FAS 142 is required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and is required to be applied at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year. The statement is to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in an entity's financial statements at that date. Impairment losses for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets that arise due to the initial application of FAS 142 (resulting from an impairment test) are to be reported as a change in accounting principle. Retroactive application is not permitted. Ambac has not yet determined the impact that FAS 142 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
