MBIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do
not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and in
Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2001 for MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries
(the "Company"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have not
been audited by independent accountants in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America but in the opinion of
management such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's
financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 may not be indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. The December 31, 2000 balance
sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
balances have been eliminated. Business segment results are presented gross of
intersegment transactions, which are not material to each segment.

2. Dividends Declared
------------------

Dividends declared by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2001
were $45 million.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which was effective for the
Company as of January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments
be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value
of derivatives will be recorded each period in current earnings or other
comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of
a hedge, and if so, the type of hedge.

The Company has entered into derivative transactions that do not qualify
for the financial guarantee scope exception under SFAS 133 and, therefore, must
be stated at fair value. The Insurance segment, which represents the majority of
the company's derivative exposure and mark-to-market calculation as of January
1, 2001, has insured derivatives primarily consisting of credit default swaps.
The Investment Management Services segment has entered into

(7)
MBIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

forward delivery agreements, interest rate and credit default swaps. The
Corporate segment has entered into derivatives to hedge foreign exchange and
interest rate risks related to the issuance of certain MBIA long-term debt
issues.

The revenues and expenses in the Insurance, Investment Management and
Corporate segments include revenues and expenses related to derivative activity
in those segments. The related change in fair value of those derivative
instruments is included in gains and losses.

Adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001 resulted in cumulative after-tax
reductions in net income of $13 million and other comprehensive income of $4
million. In addition, the Company increased its assets by $41 million and
liabilities by $59 million.

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," having
certain requirements effective as of April 1, 2001. In accordance with SFAS 140,
the Company no longer reflects on its balance sheet financial assets involving
the borrowing of securities that meet specific criteria.

The fair value of securities received under security borrowing transactions
not reflected on the balance sheet at June 30, 2001 was $285 million. The
contract value and fair value of collateral received for securities borrowed
in the financial statements at December 31, 2000 was $315 million and $332
million, respectively. All of the securities borrowed have been repledged for
all periods presented. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had financial assets
reflected on the balance sheet with a fair value of $304 million that were
not required to be reclassified as a separate line item.

SFAS 140 also requires the Company to reclassify financial assets pledged as
collateral under certain agreements and to report those assets at fair value as
a separate line item on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had
$259 million in financial assets pledged as collateral.

It is the Company's policy to take possession of securities borrowed or
purchased under agreements to resell. These contracts are primarily for MBIA's
collateralized municipal investment and repurchase agreement activity and are
only transacted with high-quality dealer firms.

The Company minimizes the credit risk that counterparties to transactions
might be unable to fulfill their contractual obligations by monitoring customer
credit exposure and collateral value and requiring additional collateral to be
deposited with the Company when deemed necessary.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized, but instead be reviewed
for impairment. The Company will adopt SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002 and is
currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on its earnings and
statement of financial position.

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations






Overview
- --------

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") turned in a solid quarter as we
continue to focus on our triple-A ratings, no-loss underwriting standards, and
building of shareholder value. Our disciplined approach to pricing and risk
selection enabled the Company to post another quarter of strong growth in our
Insurance segment, especially in the structured finance and international
sectors. Our asset management business also posted strong results for the
quarter as operating income rose 16%. The Company is well positioned to
capitalize on strong long-term growth prospects in our Insurance and Investment
Management Services segments.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
- -----------------------------------------

Statements included in this discussion which are not historical or current facts
are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1998. The words "believe,"
"anticipate," "project," "plan," "expect," "intend," "will likely result," or
"will continue," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. We wish to caution readers not to place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their
respective dates. The following are some of the factors that could affect our
financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from
estimates contained in or underlying our Company's forward-looking statements:

. fluctuations in the economic, credit or interest rate environment in the
United States and abroad;
. level of activity within the national and international credit markets;
. competitive conditions and pricing levels;
. legislative and regulatory developments;
. technological developments;
. changes in tax laws;
. the effects of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; and
. uncertainties that have not been identified at this time.

Our Company undertakes no obligation to publicly correct or update any
forward-looking statement if we later become aware that such results are not
likely to be achieved.

The Investment Management Services segment has entered into forward delivery
agreements, interest rate and credit default swaps. The Corporate segment has
entered into derivatives to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risks
related to the issuance of certain MBIA long-term debt issues.

The revenues and expenses in the Insurance, Investment Management and
Corporate segments include revenues and expenses related to derivative activity
in those segments. The related change in fair value of those derivatives is
included in gains and losses.

Adoption of SFAS 133 on January 1, 2001 resulted in cumulative after-tax
reductions in net income of $13 million and other comprehensive income of $4
million. In addition, the Company increased its assets by $41 million and
liabilities by $59 million.

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," having
certain requirements effective as of April 1, 2001. In accordance with SFAS 140,
the Company no longer reflects on its balance sheet financial assets involving
the borrowing of securities that meet specific criteria.

The fair value of securities received under security borrowing transactions
not reflected on the balance sheet at June 30, 2001 was $285 million. The
contract value and fair value of collateral received for securities borrowed
in the financial statements at December 31, 2000 was $315 million and $332
million, respectively. All of the securities borrowed have been repledged for
all periods presented. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had financial assets
reflected on the balance sheet with a fair value of $304 million that were not
required to be reclassified as a separate line item.

SFAS 140 also requires the Company to reclassify financial assets pledged as
collateral under certain agreements and to report those assets at fair value as
a separate line item on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had
$259 million in financial assets pledged as collateral.

It is the Company's policy to take possession of securities borrowed or
purchased under agreements to resell. These contracts are primarily for MBIA's
collateralized municipal investment and repurchase agreement activity and are
only transacted with high-quality dealer firms.

The Company minimizes the credit risk that counterparties to transactions
might be unable to fulfil their contractural obligations by monitoring customer
credit exposure and collateral value and requring additional collateral to be
deposited with the Company when deemed necessary.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
SFAS 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead
be reviewed for impairment. The Company will adopt SFAS 142 effective January
1, 2002 and is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on
its earnings and statement of financial position.


Results of Operations

Summary

The Company uses various measures of profitability and intrinsic value,
namely, "core earnings", "operating earnings", "adjusted direct premiums" and
"adjusted book value" which are not in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. We view these measures as
the most meaningful way to measure our performance and the intrinsic value of
the Company.

All common share data have been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock
split effective April 20, 2001. The following chart presents highlights of our
consolidated financial results for the second quarter and first six months of
2001 and 2000.

*All earnings per share calculations are diluted.


Our second quarter net income and earnings per share increased 11% and 10%,
respectively. These increases were the result of a 15% growth in pre-tax
insurance income partially offset by a small loss in our Municipal Services
segment, lower realized gains and an increase in expenses from our Corporate
segment. For the first six months of 2001, net income and earnings per share,
excluding the accounting change, increased 4% and 3%, respectively, due to lower
realized gains this year compared with last year.

Operating earnings per share, which exclude the impact of realized gains and
losses, changes in fair value of derivatives and accounting changes, increased
by 13% and 11%, respectively, over the second quarter and first half of 2000.
This growth was the result of strong premium earnings this year compared with
last year as well as a 16% growth in operating income from our Investment
Management Services segment.

Core earnings, which exclude the effects of refundings and calls on our
insured issues, realized gains and losses, changes in the fair value of
derivatives and accounting changes, provide the most indicative measure of our
underlying profit. For the second quarter and first six months of 2001, core
earnings per share increased 13% and 9%, respectively, over the second quarter
and first six months of 2000, reflecting strong results in our Insurance and
Investment Management Services segments.

Our book value at June 30, 2001 was $30.09 per share, up 19% from $25.25 at
June 30, 2000. The increase was due primarily to income from operations and
the increase in the market value of our investment portfolio. A more
appropriate measure of a financial guarantee company's intrinsic value is its
adjusted book value. It is defined as book value plus the after-tax effects of
net deferred premium revenue net of deferred acquisition costs, the present
value of unrecorded future installment premiums, and the

unrealized gains or losses on investment contract liabilities. Our adjusted book
value per share was $42.23 at June 30, 2001, a 14% increase from second quarter-
end 2000. The lower growth rate in adjusted book value per share was caused by a
decrease in the unrealized gain on our investment contract liabilities.

The following table presents the components of our adjusted book value per
share:

The Company's adjusted direct premiums (ADP), gross premiums written (GPW) and
par written for the second quarter and first six months of 2001 and 2000 are
presented in the following table:

Par written (in billions) $ 36 $ 27 $ 65 $ 42 36% 55%
</TABLE>


In the second quarter of 2001, bond issuance was up significantly from 2000
levels and we maintained our pricing. As a result, ADP was up by 49% compared
with the second quarter of 2000, while par insured was up by only 36%. ADP
includes our upfront direct premiums as well as the estimated present value of
current and future direct premiums from installment-based insurance policies
issued during the period and does not include

any premiums assumed or ceded. GPW, as reported in our financial statements,
primarily reflects cash receipts and does not include the value of future
premium receipts expected from installment policies originated in the period.
GPW was $207 million, up 9% over the second quarter of 2000.

For the first six months of 2001 ADP was up by 43% compared with the same
period a year ago, while par insured was up 55%. GPW was $391 million for the
first half of 2001, up 16% over the first half of 2000. These growth rates
reflect strong international business as well as an increase in our domestic
structured finance sector.

We estimate the present value of our total future installment premium
stream on outstanding policies to be $972 million at June 30, 2001, compared
with $799 million at June 30, 2000.

* Market data are reported on a sale date basis while MBIA's insured data

New issuance was higher in the public finance market, increasing by 40% to
$67 billion for the second quarter of 2001, compared with $48 billion in the
second quarter of 2000. The insured penetration also increased in the second
quarter to 57% in 2001 from 42% in the second quarter of 2000. MBIA's market
share of insured par was 26% for the quarter compared with 34% in last year's
second quarter. For the first six months of 2001, new issuance in the municipal
market was up 42% to $120 billion and insured penetration was 53%, up from 44%
last year. MBIA captured 23% of the insured public finance market this year
compared with 28% in the first six months of 2000.

(14)
MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis

MBIA's domestic public finance ADP increased by 10% over 2000's second
quarter while par insured increased by 13%. On a year-to-date basis, par insured
was up 17% while ADP was up only 1%, significantly less than the increase in par
insured and the market in general. Both ADP and par insured results were driven
largely by a change in business mix toward higher quality, lower capital charge
business rather than the market in general.

</TABLE>

* Market data exclude mortgage-backed securities and private placements.


Issuance in the asset backed market increased 13% over the second quarter
of 2000. For the six month period, issuance is up 29%. MBIA insured $16 billion
of par value in the second quarter, up 48% compared with the second quarter of
last year. ADP was up 15% for the quarter, again due to our pricing discipline.
For the first six months par insured was up 106% while ADP was up 54%.

The relationship between par insured and ADP primarily reflects the mix of
business and a sharp improvement in the credit quality of the business we wrote.
Business rated A and above was 76% in the first half of 2001, up sharply from
45% in last year's first half, and 67% of insured volume during the first half
was rated AAA prior to our insurance.

INTERNATIONAL MARKET The international results were up sharply over the second
quarter of 2000. The quarterly mix of business included several very large
deals, and a good diversification by bond type and by country. During the first
half of the year, 92% of international business insured was rated A or above.

GPW $ 52 $ 52 $ 116 $ 80 --- 45%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

International par insured was up 55% to $9 billion in the second quarter
and ADP was $127 million, up 181%. For the six month period par and ADP were up
27% and 105%, respectively, as we wrote more in the second quarter of this year
than in the first six months of 2000. We believe that the opportunities in our
international sector are significant and that we are well positioned to
capitalize on these opportunities in the future.

REINSURANCE Premiums ceded to reinsurers from all insurance operations were $43
million and $62 million in the second quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Cessions as a percentage of GPW decreased to 21% in 2001 from 33% in 2000. For
the first six months of 2001 we have ceded 25% of GPW, lower than the 31% we
ceded in last year's first half.

Reinsurance is a very effective tool for MBIA. It allows us to write better
quality, better return business, and yet stay within our single risk and credit
guidelines. We continued the initiative begun in the fourth quarter of 1998 as
we focused on reducing larger single risks across the portfolio.

Most of our reinsurers are rated Double-A or higher by S&P, or Single-A or
higher by A. M. Best Co. Although we remain liable for all reinsured risks, we
are confident that we will recover the reinsured portion of any losses, should
they occur.

scheduled and refunded components is illustrated below:

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Premiums are recognized over the life of the bonds we insure. The extended
premium recognition coupled with compounding investment income from investing
our premiums and capital form a solid foundation for consistent revenue growth.
In the second quarter and first six months of 2001 premiums earned from
scheduled amortization increased by 15% and 12%, respectively, over the second
quarter and first six months of 2000, indicating that the benefits of the
increased pricing strategy established in early 1999 are beginning to emerge.

Refunded premiums earned increased significantly this year compared with
last year, reflecting the lower interest rate environment. When an MBIA-insured
bond issue is refunded or retired early, the related deferred premium revenue is
earned immediately. The amount of bond refundings and calls is influenced by a
variety of factors such as prevailing interest rates, the coupon rates of the
bond issue, the issuer's desire or ability to modify bond covenants and
applicable regulations under the Internal Revenue Code.

INVESTMENT INCOME Our insurance-related investment income (exclusive of realized
gains) increased 3% to $102 million in the second quarter of 2001, up from $99
million in the second quarter of 2000. In the first six months of 2001,
investment income is up only 5% over 2000. This lower than normal increase was
primarily due to a shift in the investment portfolio from taxable to tax-exempt
investments, and the resulting lower growth of cash flow available for
investment. Our cash flows were generated from operations and the compounding of
previously earned and reinvested investment income.

ADVISORY FEES The Company collects fee revenues in conjunction with certain
insured transactions as well as various administration and management fees. Fees
are generally deferred and earned over the life of the related transactions
although certain fees are earned in the quarter they are received. These would
include administration fees for transactions where the fee is collected on a
periodic basis, and fees for transactions that terminate prior to the expected
maturity date. In the second quarter of 2001, advisory fee revenues increased to
$14 million from $6 million in the second quarter of 2000. This increase was
primarily due to a one-time "non-deferrable" fee recognized during the quarter.

LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES (LAE) We maintain a loss reserve based on
our estimate of unidentified losses from our insured obligations. The total
reserve is calculated by applying a risk factor based on a study of bond
defaults to net debt service written. To the extent that we identify specific
insured issues as currently or likely to be in default, the present value of our
expected payments, net of expected reinsurance and collateral recoveries, is
allocated within the total loss reserve as case-specific reserves.

We periodically evaluate our estimates for losses and LAE, and any
resulting adjustments are reflected in current earnings. We believe that our
reserving methodology and the resulting reserves are adequate to cover the
ultimate net cost of claims. However, the reserves are based on estimates, and
there can be no assurance that any ultimate liability will not exceed such
estimates.

(17)
MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

In 2000, we reviewed our loss reserving methodology. The review included an
analysis of loss-reserve factors based on the latest available industry data, an
analysis of historical default and recovery experience for the relevant sectors
of the fixed-income market, and consideration for the changing mix of our book
of business. The review did not result in an increase in our company's loss
reserving factors.

The following table shows the case-specific, reinsurance recoverable and
unallocated components of our total loss and LAE reserves at the end of the
second quarter of 2001 and 2000, as well as our loss provision for the first
half of 2001 and 2000:

</TABLE>

For the second quarter of 2001, the amortization of deferred acquisition
costs increased 17% over the second quarter of 2000, reflecting the increase in
insurance business written. For the first half of 2001, the amortization of
deferred acquisition costs increased 15% to $20 million compared with $17
million in the first six months of 2000.

(18)
MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Operating expenses decreased 4% from the second quarter and the first six
months of 2000, reflecting the Company's continuing expense management program.
Total insurance operating expenses in the second quarter were flat with the
prior period and increased only 1% in the first half of 2001, again reflecting
the Company's increased emphasis on expense management.

Financial guarantee insurance companies use the statutory expense ratio
(expenses before deferrals divided by net premiums written) as a measure of
expense management. Our Company's second quarter 2001 statutory expense ratio of
14.7% is significantly below the second quarter 2000 ratio of 19.7%. The GAAP
expense ratio of 23.9% also decreased compared with the second quarter of 2000.
For the first six months of 2001 the statutory expense ratio of 15.4% is also
below the comparable 2000 period ratio of 20.3%.

INSURANCE INCOME The Company's insurance income of $197 million for the second
quarter of 2001 increased 15% over the second quarter of 2000. For the first
half insurance income rose 12% to $384 million from $343 million a year ago due
to the 89% increase in premiums earned from refundings as well as the 47%
increase in advisory fees.

Investment Management Services

In 1998 after our merger with 1838 Investment Advisors, LLC. (1838), the Company
formed a holding company, MBIA Asset Management Corporation, to consolidate the
resources and capabilities of our four investment management services. The table
below summarizes our consolidated investment management results for the second
quarter and first six months of 2001 and 2000:

The success of the merger with 1838 is reflected in the Investment Management
Services operating results, with consolidated revenues up 10% over the second
quarter of 2000, while expenses were up only 5%. As a result, operating income
increased by 16% for the second quarter of 2001 over the same period in 2000. We
ended the quarter with over $38 billion in assets under management, up 12% from
June 30, 2000.

MBIA Asset Management Corporation is comprised of 1838, MBIA Municipal
Investors Service Corp. (MBIA-MISC), MBIA Investment Management Corp. (IMC) and
MBIA Capital Management Corp. (CMC). The following provides a summary of each
of these businesses:

1838 is a full-service asset management firm with a strong institutional focus.
It manages over $13 billion in equity, fixed-income and balanced portfolios for
a client base comprised of municipalities, endowments, foundations, corporate
employee benefit plans and high-net-worth individuals.

MBIA-MISC provides cash management, investment fund administration and fixed-
rate investment placement services directly to local governments and school
districts. MBIA-MISC is a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered
investment adviser and at June 30, 2001 had $9.6 billion in assets under
management, up 28% over June 30, 2000.

IMC provides state and local governments with tailored investment agreements for
bond proceeds and other public funds, such as construction, loan origination,
capitalized interest and debt service reserve funds. At June 30, 2001,
principal and accrued interest outstanding on investment and repurchasing
agreements was $5.2 billion, compared with $4.5 billion at June 30, 2000. At
amortized cost, the assets supporting IMC's investment agreements were $5.6
billion and $4.7 billion at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These assets
are comprised of high-quality securities with an average credit quality rating
of Double-A.

IMC from time-to-time uses derivative financial instruments to manage
interest rate risk. We have established policies limiting the amount, type and
concentration of such instruments. By matter of policy, derivative positions
can only be used to hedge interest rate exposures and not for speculative
trading purposes. At second quarter-end 2001, our exposure to derivative
financial instruments was not material.

CMC is an SEC-registered investment adviser and National Association of
Securities Dealers member firm. CMC specializes in fixed-income management for
institutional funds and provides investment management services for IMC's
investment agreements, MBIA-MISC's municipal cash management programs and the
company's insurance related portfolios. At June 30, 2001, CMC's third party
assets under management were $2.5 billion compared with $1.8 billion at June 30,
2000.


Municipal Services

MBIA MuniServices Company (MBIA MuniServices)(formerly known as Strategic
Services, Inc.) was established in 1996 as part of the Company's strategy to
broaden its product offerings to its core clients, leveraging its relationships
and presence as a leading provider of products and services to the public
sector. During 1999, the Company completed a reorganization of the operations of
two of its subsidiaries, Municipal Tax Bureau (MTB) and Municipal Resource
Consultants (MRC). With the reorganization complete, this business, operating as
MBIA MuniServices, is now focused on delivering revenue enhancement services and
products to public-sector clients nationwide, consisting of discovery, audit,
collections/recovery, enforcement and

information (data) services. The Municipal Services segment also includes
Capital Asset Holdings, Inc. (Capital Asset), a servicer of delinquent tax
certificates.

In the second quarter of 2001 the Municipal Services operations lost $0.8
million compared with a loss of $0.1 million during the same period of 2000. For
the first half of 2001, municipal services reported a $1.6 million loss compared
with a loss of $0.5 million in the comparable 2000 period.

Corporate

NET INVESTMENT INCOME Net investment income was $1.6 million in the second
quarter of 2001, which was the result of assets invested at the holding company
level from the debt proceeds received during the fourth quarter of 2000. For
the first six months of 2001, net investment income totaled $3.3 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE In the second quarter of 2001, we incurred $14 million of
interest expense compared with $13 million during the second quarter of 2000.
The increase is the result of the additional $100 million of debt issued during
the fourth quarter of 2000.

CORPORATE EXPENSES Corporate expenses are comprised primarily of non-insurance
goodwill amortization and general corporate overhead.

Gains and Losses

NET REALIZED GAINS Net realized gains were $3.1 million in the second quarter
of 2001 compared with $7.4 million during the second quarter of 2000. For the
first half of 2001, net realized gains were $0.9 million compared with $19.3
million in the comparable 2000 period. These gains were generated as a result
of the ongoing management of the investment portfolio.

CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS In the second quarter of 2001,
we incurred an unrealized loss of $1.1 million due to the change in the fair
value of derivatives. Unrealized losses for the first six months of 2001
totaled $7.0 million.

Taxes

Our tax policy is to optimize our after-tax income by maintaining the
appropriate mix of taxable and tax-exempt investments. However, we will see our
tax rate fluctuate from time-to-time as we manage our investment portfolio on a
total return basis.


Capital Resources
- -----------------

We carefully manage our capital resources to optimize our cost of capital while
maintaining appropriate claims-paying resources to sustain our Triple-A claims-
paying ratings. At June 30, 2001, our total shareholders' equity was $4.5
billion, with total long-term borrowings at $795 million. We use debt financing
to lower our overall cost of

capital, thereby increasing our return on shareholders' equity. We maintain debt
at levels we consider to be prudent based on our cash flow and total capital.
The following table shows our long-term debt and the ratio we use to measure it:

2001 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term debt (in millions) $ 795 $ 795
Long-term debt to total capital 15% 16%


In July 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 11.25
million shares of common stock of the Company. The Company began the repurchase
program in the fourth quarter of 1999. As of June 30, 2001 the Company has
repurchased a total of 3,270,300 shares at an average price of $31.32.

In addition, MBIA Insurance Corporation has a $900 million irrevocable standby
line of credit facility with a group of major Triple-A Rated banks to provide
funds for the payment of claims with respect to public finance transactions in
the event that severe losses should occur. The agreement is for a seven-year
term, which expires on October 31, 2006, and, subject to approval by the banks,
may be renewed annually to extend the term to seven years beyond the renewal
date. MBIA Insurance Corporation also maintains stop-loss reinsurance coverage
of $175 million in excess of incurred losses of $762 million with respect to
structured finance transactions.

At quarter end, total claims-paying resources for MBIA Insurance Corporation
stood at $9.5 billion, an 8% increase over second quarter-end 2000.


Liquidity
- ---------

Cash flow needs at the parent company level are primarily for dividends to our
shareholders and interest payments on our debt. These requirements have
historically been met by upstreaming dividend payments from the insurance
company, which generates substantial cash flow from premium writings and
investment income. In the first half of 2001, operating cash flow totaled $300
million.

Under New York state insurance law, without prior approval of the
superintendent of the state insurance department, financial guarantee insurance
companies can pay dividends from earned surplus subject to retaining a minimum
capital requirement. In our case, dividends in any 12-month period cannot be
greater than 10% of policyholders' surplus. During the second quarter of 2001
our MBIA Insurance Corporation paid dividends of $45.1 million and at June 30,
2001 had dividend capacity in excess of $13 million without special regulatory
approval.

The Company has significant liquidity supporting its businesses. At the end
of the second quarter of 2001, cash equivalents and short-term investments
totaled $435 million. Should significant cash flow reductions occur in any of
our businesses, for any

combination of reasons, we have additional alternatives for meeting ongoing cash
requirements. They include selling or pledging our fixed-income investments from
our investment portfolio, tapping existing liquidity facilities and new
borrowings.

The Company has substantial external borrowing capacity. We maintain two
short-term bank lines totaling $650 million with a group of worldwide banks. At
June 30, 2001, there were no balances outstanding under these lines.

The investment portfolio provides a high degree of liquidity since it is
comprised of readily marketable high-quality fixed-income securities and short-
term investments. At June 30, 2001, the fair value of our consolidated
investment portfolio was $13.2 billion, as shown below:

Fair value $ 5,656 $ 4,997 13%
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total portfolio at fair value $13,160 $12,233 8%
</TABLE>

The growth of our insurance-related investments in 2001 was the result of
positive cash flows. The fair value of investments related to our municipal
investment agreement business has increased to $5.7 billion from $5.0 billion at
December 31, 2000.

The investment portfolios are considered to be available-for-sale, and the
differences between their fair value and amortized cost, net of applicable
taxes, are reflected as an adjustment to shareholders' equity. Differences
between fair value and amortized cost arise primarily as a result of changes in
interest rates occurring after a fixed-income security is purchased, although
other factors influence fair value, including credit-related actions, supply and
demand forces and other market factors. The weighted-average credit quality of
our fixed-income portfolios has been maintained at Double-A since our inception.
Since we generally intend to hold most of our investments to maturity as part of
our risk management strategy, we expect to realize a value substantially equal
to amortized cost.
