Note to Condensed Financial Information

The condensed financial information of Ambac Financial Group, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Ambac Financial Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries and the notes thereto. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

On November 8, 2010 (the "Petition Date"), Ambac filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York ("Bankruptcy Court"). Ambac has continued to operate in the ordinary course of business as "debtor-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company, as debtor and debtor-in-possession, filed a Plan of Reorganization on July 6, 2011, a First Amended Plan of Reorganization on September 21, 2011, a Second Amended Plan of Reorganization on September 30, 2011, a Third Amended Plan of Reorganization on February 24, 2012, a Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization on March 9, 2012, and a Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization on March 12, 2012 (such Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization, as it may be further amended, the "Reorganization Plan"). The Reorganization Plan also reflects a resolution of certain issues (the "Amended Plan Settlement") among the Company, the statutory committee of creditors appointed by the United States Trustee on November 17, 2010 (the "Creditors' Committee"), Ambac Assurance Corporation ("Ambac Assurance" or "AAC"), the Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corporation and the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (as regulator of Ambac Assurance and as Rehabilitator of the Segregated Account) related to (i) the U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of the consolidated tax group of which the Company is the parent and Ambac Assurance is a member, (ii) certain tax refunds received in respect thereof and (iii) the sharing of expenses between the Company and Ambac Assurance. The terms of the Amended Plan Settlement are memorialized in that certain Mediation Agreement dated September 21, 2011 among such parties.

Entities operating in bankruptcy and expecting to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code are subject to the additional accounting and financial reporting guidance in ASC Topic 852 "Reorganizations". While ASC Topic 852 provides specific guidance for certain matters, other portions of US GAAP continue to apply so long as the guidance does not conflict with ASC Topic 852. This accounting literature provides guidance for periods subsequent to a Chapter 11 filing, among other things, the presentation of liabilities that are and are not subject to compromise by the Bankruptcy Court proceedings, as well as the treatment of interest expense and presentation of costs associated with the proceedings. In accordance with ASC Topic 852, debt discounts or premiums as well as debt issuance costs should be viewed as valuation adjustments of the related debt. When the debt has become an allowed claim and the allowed claim differs from the carrying amount of the debt, the recorded amount should be adjusted to the expected amount of the allowable claim. We have reduced to zero the book value of premiums and discounts as well as debt issuance cost associated with unsecured debts that are subject to compromise in 2010. See below for Reorganization Items. For the purpose of presenting an entity's financial condition during a Chapter 11 reorganization, the financial statements for periods including and after filing the Chapter 11 petition shall distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business.

All of the Debtor's pre-petition debt is now in default due to the bankruptcy filing. As described below, the accompanying financial statements present the Debtor's pre-petition debt within Liabilities subject to compromise. In accordance with ASC Topic 852, following the Petition Date, we discontinued recording interest expense on debt classified as Liabilities subject to compromise, which amounted to $126,524 in 2011 and $16,431 in 2010. The stated contractual interest on debt classified as Liabilities subject to compromise amounted to $110,093 and $113,552 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Note to Condensed Financial Information

Liabilities Subject to Compromise

As required by ASC Topic 852, the amount of the Liabilities subject to compromise represents our estimate of known or potential pre-petition claims to be addressed in connection with the bankruptcy. Such claims are subject to future adjustments. Adjustments may result from, among other things, negotiations with creditors, rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Liabilities subject to compromise in the Condensed Balance Sheets consists of the following at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

                 
     2011      2010

Reorganization Items

Professional advisory fees and other costs directly associated with our reorganization are reported separately as reorganization items pursuant to ASC Topic 852. Reorganization items also include adjustments to reflect the carrying value of certain pre-petition liabilities at their estimated allowable claim amounts. The debt valuation adjustments represent one-time charges. The reorganization items in the Condensed Statements of Operations for years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 consisted of the following items:
