Attachment A

      For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Registrant expects to report a net loss of approximately $1.3 billion, which would be an increase of $1.2 billion from a net loss of $89.9 million reported during the same period in 2007. The increase in the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is expected to be primarily attributable to a significant increase in net loss attributable to the net change in the fair value of credit derivatives during the period, significantly higher net losses and loss adjustment expenses primarily due to adverse development relating to certain insured obligations which are supported by mortgage collateral and significantly higher net realized losses on investments primarily due to other than temporary impairment charges during the period.

     At September 30, 2008, the Registrant expects to report total cash and invested assets of approximately $3.9 billion (including restricted cash of approximately $977.9 million), reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses of approximately $0.8 billion, derivative liabilities of approximately $2.5 billion, and total shareholders’ equity in the range of $85 to $90 million.

      The foregoing financial information is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registrant’s unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2008, to be filed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. In addition, the Registrant previously disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and expects to continue to disclose in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that there is a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

      The Registrant has experienced significant adverse loss development, which may result in its financial guarantee insurance subsidiary, Syncora Guarantee Inc., not being able to maintain positive statutory policyholders’ surplus or not being able to maintain compliance with its $65 million minimum policyholders’ surplus requirement under New York state law as of September 30, 2008. Failure to maintain positive statutory policyholders’ surplus or non-compliance with its statutory minimum policyholders’ surplus requirement would permit the New York State Insurance Department to intervene in its operations. For example, under these or other circumstances, the New York State Superintendent of Insurance could seek court appointment as rehabilitator or liquidator of Syncora Guarantee Inc. See “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.
