Financial Guaranty Insurance
Company                                           Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1996 and 1995
(Unaudited)


              (1) Basis of Presentation

                  The  interim  financial   statements  of  Financial   Guaranty
                  Insurance  Company  (the  Company) in this report  reflect all
                  adjustments  necessary,  in the opinion of  management,  for a
                  fair  statement  of (a)  results  of  operations  for the nine
                  months ended  September  30, 1996 and 1995,  (b) the financial
                  position at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,  and (c)
                  cash flows for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 and
                  1995.

                  These  interim   financial   statements   should  be  read  in
                  conjunction  with the financial  statements  and related notes
                  included in the 1995 audited  financial  statements.  The 1995
                  financial  statements have been reclassified to conform to the
                  1996 presentation.

                  The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
                  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP") requires
                  management to make estimates and  assumptions  that effect the
                  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities and disclosure of
                  contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
                  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses
                  during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
                  those estimates.

              (2) Statutory Accounting Practices

                  The  financial  statements  are prepared on the basis of GAAP,
                  which differs in certain  respects from  accounting  practices
                  prescribed   or  permitted  by  state   insurance   regulatory
                  authorities.  The following are the significant  ways in which
                  statutory basis accounting practices differ from GAAP:

                  (a)   premiums are earned in  proportion  to the  reduction of
                        the  related  risk  rather  than  in  proportion  to the
                        coverage provided;
                  (b)   policy   acquisition   costs  are   charged  to  current
                        operations as incurred  rather than as related  premiums
                        are earned;
                  (c)    a  contingency  reserve  is  computed  on the  basis of
                         statutory   requirements   for  the   security  of  all
                         policyholders, regardless of whether loss contingencies
                         actually  exist,  whereas  under  GAAP,  a  reserve  is
                         established based on an ultimate estimate of exposure;
                  (d)    certain assets designated as "non-admitted  assets" are
                         charged  directly  against surplus but are reflected as
                         assets under GAAP, if recoverable;
                  (e)    federal  income taxes are only provided with respect to
                         taxable  income for which  income  taxes are  currently
                         payable,  while under GAAP taxes are also  provided for
                         differences  between the  financial  reporting  and tax
                         bases of assets and liabilities;
                  (f)    purchases  of tax  and  loss  bonds  are  reflected  as
                         admitted assets,  while under GAAP they are recorded as
                         federal income tax payments; and
                  (g)    all fixed income  investments  are carried at amortized
                         cost,   rather  than  at  fair  value  for   securities
                         classified as "Available for Sale" under GAAP.

              (3) Dividends

                  Under New York  Insurance  Law, the Company may pay a dividend
only from earned surplus subject to the following limitations:

                  o      Statutory  surplus  after  dividends  may not be less
                         than the minimum required  paid-in  capital,  which was
                         $2,100,000 in 1996.

                  o      Dividends  may not exceed the lesser of 10 percent of
                         its surplus or 100 percent of adjusted  net  investment
                         income, as defined therein, for the twelve month period
                         ending on the preceding  December 31, without the prior
                         approval  of the  Superintendent  of the New York State
                         Insurance Department.

                  The amount of the Company's surplus available for dividends at
September 30,1996 is approximately $109.8 million.

              (4) Income Taxes

                  The  Company's  effective  Federal  corporate  tax rate  (21.6
                  percent and 20.2 percent for the nine months  ended  September
