Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

 

All statements in this report that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are made on the basis of management’s current views and assumptions with respect to future events. The forward-looking statements, as well as the Company’s prospects as a whole, are subject to risks and uncertainties including the following:

 

  changes in general financial and political conditions, such as extended national economic recessions, business failures, changes in housing values, changes in unemployment rates, changes or volatility in interest rates, changes in investor perceptions of the strength of private mortgage insurers or financial guaranty providers, investor concern over the credit quality of municipalities and corporations, and specific risks faced by the particular businesses, municipalities or pools of assets covered by the Company’s insurance;

 

  economic changes in geographic regions where the Company’s mortgage insurance or financial guaranty insurance in force is more concentrated;

 

  the loss of significant customers with whom the Company has a concentration of its mortgage insurance and financial guaranty insurance in force;

 

  increased concentration of servicers in the mortgage lending industry making the Company’s mortgage insurance business vulnerable to a rise in delinquencies in its insured portfolio;

 

  increased severity or frequency of losses associated with certain of the Company’s products that are riskier than traditional mortgage insurance and financial guaranty insurance policies, such as insurance on high-LTV, adjustable-rate mortgage and non-prime mortgage loans, credit insurance on non-traditional mortgage related assets such as second mortgages and manufactured housing, credit enhancement of mortgage related capital market transactions, guaranties on certain asset-backed transactions and securitizations, guaranties on obligations under credit default swaps and trade credit reinsurance;

 

  increased commitment to insure mortgage loans with unacceptable risk profiles through the Company’s delegated underwriting program;

 

  material changes in persistency rates of the Company’s mortgage insurance policies caused by changes in refinancing activity, appreciating or depreciating home values and changes in the mortgage insurance cancellation requirements of mortgage lenders and investors;

 

  reduced ability to recover amounts paid on defaulted mortgages by taking title to a mortgaged property due to a failure of housing values to appreciate;

 

  downgrades of the insurance financial strength ratings assigned by the major rating agencies to any of the Company’s operating subsidiaries at any time, which have occurred in the past;

 

  intense competition for the Company’s mortgage insurance business from others such as the Federal Housing Administration and Veterans Administration or other private mortgage insurers, and from alternative products such as “80-10-10 loan” structures used by mortgage lenders or other forms of credit enhancement used by investors;

 

  changes in the business practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the largest purchasers of mortgage loans insured by the Company;

 

  intense competition for the Company’s financial guaranty business from other financial guaranty insurers, and from other forms of credit enhancement such as letters of credit, guaranties and credit default swaps provided by foreign and domestic banks and other financial institutions;

 

  changes in the demand for private mortgage insurance caused by legislative and regulatory changes such as increases in the maximum loan amount that the Federal Housing Administration can insure;

 

  changes in claims against mortgage insurance products as a result of aging of the Company’s mortgage insurance policies;

 

i


Table of Contents
  changes in the demand for financial guaranty insurance caused by changes in laws and regulations affecting the municipal, asset-backed securities markets and trade credit reinsurance;

 

  changes in the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient reinsurance capacity needed to comply with regulatory, rating agency and internal single-risk retention limits in an increasingly concentrated reinsurance market;

 

  vulnerability to the performance of the Company’s strategic investments; and

 

  the loss of executive officers or other key personnel.

 

You also should refer to the risks discussed in other documents the Company files with the SEC, including the risk factors detailed in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 in the section immediately preceding Part I of the report. The Company does not intend to and disclaims any duty or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this report to reflect new information or future events or for any other reason.
