  1. Who CIFG is… • A group of financial guaranty companies rated Aaa/AAA/AAA with experienced industry professionals in each business line • Insurance companies with claims-paying resources well in excess of the rating agencies’ Triple-A levels • Monoline insurers • CIFG capital is segregated to support both present and future bondholder obligations • CIFG ability and willingness to pay have received top ratings from Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Fitch • A member of an international group with a long and distinguished heritage in financial services

  2. Overview: Progress to Date CIFG is a group of Triple-A rated monoline financial guarantors • Capital: CIFG possesses well over $500 million in claims paying resources • Business Progress: CIFG has insured over $8 billion in par since inception. Market conditions have allowed better than expected pricing • Licensing: CIFG is licensed in the European Community and in more than half of all US states. Licensing in the US should approach all 50 states during 2004

  3. Overview: CIFG Claims Paying Resources CIFG is well capitalized • The S&P Margin of Safety compares simulated depression losses with claims-paying resources based on actual and projected portfolios. S&P calculates Margins of Safety for each of CIFG’s primary insurance companies: CDC IXIS Financial Guaranty North America (CIFG NA) and CDC IXIS Financial Guaranty Europe (CIFG Europe) • At year-end 2002, CIFG NA’s Margin of Safety was 2.0-2.1 and CIFG Europe’s was 1.5-1.6 • This ratio will likely fall as the portfolio grows; it reflects, however, management’s conservative approach to the business

  26. Rating Agency Perspectives How the rating agencies determine that CIFG is Triple-A • Moody’s Investor Services Aaa • In addition to its qualitative review of management expertise, risk management, ownership and business plan, Moody’s utilizes a model that “estimates the entire potential loss distribution associated with the guarantor’s insured exposure”. The model assesses risk by credit quality, maturity, distribution across sectors and, importantly, risk concentrations • Standard & Poor’s AAA • Along with its qualitative review, S&P employs a quantitative stress test that subjects the company’s capital base to an unprecedented depression scenario and assesses the adequacy of that capital to pay assumed claims and continue its business • Fitch Ratings AAA • Considers capitalization, ownership, business plan, management and anticipated portfolio risk profile

  27. Liquidity CIFG keeps a short duration, top-quality investment portfolio • CIFG’s liquidity requirements are met by maintaining a short duration investment portfolio • The investment portfolio will be adjusted to reflect expected liabilities as the insured portfolio grows and evolves
