PMI MORTGAGE INSURANCE LTD AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

PMI Mortgage Insurance Ltd (“PMI Ltd”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMI Mortgage Insurance Australia (Holdings) Pty Limited (“PMI Holdings”) and was incorporated in Australia on September 24, 1965. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PMI Ltd, an Australian corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Lenders Mortgage Insurance Company Ltd (“Western LMI”), and its majority owned subsidiary, Permanent LMI Pty Ltd. PMI Ltd and its subsidiaries, are collectively referred to as the “Company”. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. PMI Holdings is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. (“MIC”). The ultimate parent of MIC is The PMI Group, Inc. (“The PMI Group”), a United States domiciled corporation.

On March 16, 2007, PMI Ltd acquired the 49.9% remaining outstanding common shares of Western LMI from its minority shareholder. The Company paid $13.4 million to acquire the remaining outstanding common shares of Western LMI. The Company transferred the insurance related assets and liabilities of Western LMI to PMI Ltd at their fair value on May 1, 2007. On June 30, 2007 Western LMI’s application to have its insurance license revoked was accepted. The Company intends to dissolve Western LMI in 2007.

The Company offers mortgage insurance in Australia and New Zealand. The Company is headquartered in Sydney, Australia, and has offices throughout Australia and New Zealand. PMI Ltd’s financial strength is rated “AA” by S&P and Fitch, and “Aa2” by Moody’s. Australian mortgage insurance, known as “lenders mortgage insurance”, or LMI, is characterized by single premiums and coverage of 100% of the loan amount. Lenders usually collect the single premium from a prospective borrower and remit the amount to the Company as the mortgage insurer. The Company recognizes earnings from single premiums in its consolidated financial statements over time in accordance with the expiration of risk. Premiums are partly refundable if the policy is canceled within the first year.

LMI covers the unpaid loan balance, plus selling costs and expenses, following the sale of the security property. Historically, loss severities have ranged from 20% to 30% of the original loan amount. In New Zealand, insurance coverage is predominantly “top cover”, where the total loss (including expenses) is paid up to a prescribed percentage of the original loan amount. Typical top cover in New Zealand ranges from 20% to 30% of the original loan amount.

The Company’s primary net insurance written includes direct insurance and insurance on loans underlying residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”). RMBS transactions include insurance on seasoned portfolios comprised of prime credit quality loans that have loan-to-values often below 80%.

The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), disclosure requirements for interim financial information and Article 7 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes of PMI Mortgage Insurance Ltd and subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 included as an exhibit to The PMI Group’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Significant accounting policies are as follows:

Investments – The Company has designated its entire portfolio of fixed income and equity securities as available-for-sale. These securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholder’s equity. The Company evaluates its investments regularly to determine whether there are declines in value and whether such declines meet the definition of other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59,Accounting for Noncurrent Marketable Equity Securities. The fair value of a security below cost or amortized cost for consecutive quarters is a potential indicator of an other-than-temporary impairment. When the Company determines a security has suffered an other-than-temporary impairment, a realized investment loss is recognized to the extent of the decline in fair value in the current period’s consolidated net income.

The Company’s short-term investments have maturities of greater than three and less than 12 months when purchased and are carried at fair value. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on a specific-identification basis. Net investment income consists primarily of interest and dividend income, net of investment expenses. Interest income and preferred stock dividends are recognized on an accrual basis. Dividend income on common stock is recognized on the date of declaration.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs – The Company defers certain costs in its mortgage insurance operations relating to the acquisition of new insurance and amortizes these costs against related premium revenue in order to match costs and revenues. Costs related to the issuance of mortgage insurance business are initially deferred and reported as deferred policy acquisition costs. SFAS No. 60,Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises (“SFAS No. 60”), specifically excludes mortgage guaranty insurance from its guidance relating to the amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs. Consistent with industry accounting practice, amortization of these costs for each underwriting year book of business is charged against revenue in proportion to earned premiums. All or predominately all of the policies written by the Company are single premium. The deferred costs related to single premium policies are adjusted as appropriate for policy cancellations to be consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. The amortization estimates for each underwriting year are monitored regularly to reflect actual experience and any changes to persistency or loss development.

Leasehold Improvements, Equipment and Software – Leasehold improvements and equipment, including software, are carried at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 2.5 to 13 years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the assets or the remaining term of the related lease.

Under the provisions of Statement of Position No. 98-1,Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the Company capitalizes costs incurred during the application development stage related to software developed for internal use purposes and for which it has no substantive plan to market externally. Capitalized costs are amortized at such time as the software is ready for its intended use on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is generally 2.5 years. The Company capitalized costs associated with software developed for internal use of $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2007.

F-7

Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses – The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) is the estimated claim settlement costs on notices of default that have been received by the Company, as well as loan defaults that have been incurred but have not been reported by the lenders. The Company’s master policies define “default” as the borrower’s failure to pay when due an amount equal to the scheduled monthly mortgage payment under the terms of the mortgage. Generally, however, the master policies require an insured to notify the Company of a default within 14 days of the end of the month when the total amount due is unpaid and in arrears by more than ninety days. For reporting and internal tracking purposes, the Company does not consider a loan to be in default until it has been delinquent for two consecutive monthly payments.

SFAS No. 60 specifically excludes mortgage guaranty insurance from its guidance relating to reserves for losses and LAE. Consistent with industry accounting practice, the Company considers its mortgage insurance policies as short-duration contracts and, accordingly, does not establish loss reserves for future claims on insured loans that are not currently in default. The Company establishes loss reserves on a case-by-case basis when insured loans are identified as currently in default using estimated claim rates and average claim amounts for each report year, net of salvage recoverable. The Company also establishes loss reserves for defaults that have been incurred but have not been reported to the Company prior to the close of an accounting period using estimated claim rates and claim amounts applied to the estimated number of defaults not reported. The reserve levels as of the consolidated balance sheet date represent management’s best estimate of existing losses and LAE incurred. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known to the Company. Such adjustments, to the extent of increasing or decreasing loss reserves, are recognized in current period’s consolidated results of operations.

Reinsurance – The Company uses reinsurance to reduce net risk in force and optimize capital allocation. The Company’s reinsurance agreements typically provide for excess of loss recovery of claim expenses from reinsurers, and reinsurance recoverables are recorded as an asset. The Company remains liable to its policyholders if the reinsurers are unable to satisfy their obligations under the agreements as with all reinsurance contracts. Reinsurance recoverables on loss estimates are based on the Company’s actuarial analysis of the applicable business. Amounts the Company will ultimately recover could differ materially from amounts recorded as reinsurance recoverables. Reinsurance transactions are recorded in accordance with the provisions of the reinsurance agreements and the accounting guidance provided in SFAS No. 113,Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts. Accordingly, management assesses, among other factors, risk transfer criteria for all reinsurance agreements.

Revenue Recognition – Mortgage guarantee insurance policies are contracts that are generally noncancelable by the insurer and provide payment of premiums on a monthly, annual or single basis. Primary mortgage insurance premiums written on policies covering more than one year are referred to as single premiums. A portion of revenue on single premiums is recognized in premiums earned in the current period, and the remaining portion is deferred as unearned premiums and earned over the expected emergence of risk of each policy, a range of eight to nine years. If single premium policies related to insured loans are canceled due to repayment by the borrower, and the premium is nonrefundable, then the remaining unearned premium related to each canceled policy is recognized to earned premiums upon notification of the cancellation. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written that is applicable to the estimated unexpired risk of insured loans. Rates used to determine the earning of single premiums are estimates based on the actuarial analysis of the expiration of risk. The earnings pattern calculation is an estimation process and, accordingly, the Company reviews its premium earnings pattern for each policy acquisition year (“Book Year”) annually, and any adjustments to the estimates are reflected for each Book Year as appropriate.

Income Taxes – PMI Ltd and its subsidiaries are included in the consolidated tax return of PMI Holdings. The tax provision for the Company for financial reporting purposes is determined on a stand-alone basis.

The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. The liability method measures the expected future tax effects of temporary differences at the enacted tax rates applicable for the period in which the deferred asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements that will result in future increases or decreases in taxes owed on a cash basis compared to amounts already recognized as tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

F-8

Foreign Currency Translation – The Company’s financial statements have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52,Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated using the period-end spot exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at monthly-average exchange rates. Gains and losses on currency remeasurement incurred by the Company represent the revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currency into the functional currency into the reporting currency. The effects of translating operations with a functional currency other than the reporting currency are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in total shareholder’s equity.

Comprehensive Income – Comprehensive income includes net income, the change in foreign currency translation gains or losses, changes in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, and the reclassification of realized gains and losses previously reported in comprehensive income, net of related tax effects.

Share-Based Compensation– The Company applies SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), for share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expense in the consolidated results of operations. For share-based payments granted and unvested upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes the fair value of share-based payments, including employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan shares, granted to employees as compensation expense in the consolidated results of operations.

Intangible Assets – The Company capitalized certain fees incurred in relation to the acquisition of multi-year contracts with customers in the first quarter of 2007. Unless renegotiated or cancelled, contract extension at the customer’s option will require the Company to pay additional fees of $6.7 million in 2010 and 2011.

The Company amortizes these intangible assets into operating expenses, using the expected earnings patterns of the underlying books of insurance business to which the contracts are related. As of September 30, 2007, the net book value of these intangible assets was $20.5 million and is included in other assets. The Company recorded $0.5 million of amortization expense related to these net intangible assets during the first nine months in 2007.

NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS No. 157”), and SFAS No. 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is still evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is not currently expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

F-10

Unrealized losses on fixed income securities were primarily due to increases in interest rates, and are not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired as the Company has the intent and ability to hold such investments until they recover or mature. However, the Company determined that the decline in the market value of certain equity securities in its investment portfolio met the definition of other-than-temporary impairment and recognized realized losses of $0.4 million in the first nine months of 2006 and the amount was insignificant in the first nine months of 2007.

Net Investment Income – Net investment income consists of the following for the three and nine months ended:

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

NOTE 5. DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

The following table summarizes deferred policy acquisition cost activity as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2007			2006			2007			2006
	(Dollars in thousands)
Beginning balance	$	39,495		$	36,800		$	37,694		$	35,562
Policy acquisition costs incurred and deferred		4,937			2,057			13,826			11,102
Amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs		(4,471	)		(3,262	)		(11,559	)		(11,069	)
Ending balance	$	39,961		$	35,595		$	39,961		$	35,595

Deferred policy acquisition costs are affected by qualifying costs that are deferred in the period and amortization of previously deferred costs in such period. In periods where there is significant growth in new business, the asset will generally increase because the amount of deferred acquisition costs incurred exceeds the amortization of previously deferred policy acquisition costs. Conversely, in periods where new business activity is declining, the asset will generally decrease because the amortization of previously deferred policy acquisition costs exceeds the amount of deferred acquisition costs incurred.

NOTE 6. RESERVE FOR LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES (LAE)

The Company establishes reserves for losses and LAE to recognize the estimated liability for potential losses and loss expenses related to insurance mortgages that are in default. The establishment of a loss reserve is subject to inherent uncertainty and requires significant judgment by management. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending consolidated reserves for losses and LAE between January 1 and September 30, 2007 and 2006.

The increases of $17.8 million in 2007 and $3.9 million in 2006 related to the prior year were primarily due to our reestimation of claim sizes and claim rates as a result of declines in regional home appreciation rates and interest rate increases. The increase in the reserves for losses and LAE at September 30, 2007 compared to September 30, 2006 was primarily due to increases in default inventory and higher average claim sizes and claim rates.
