401(k) Savings and Investment Plan
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2006 and 2005

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following description of the Countrywide Financial Corporation (the Company) 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

A. General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company immediately upon their hire date if they are age 21 or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

B. Contributions

Each year, participants may contribute up to 40 percent of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan document. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Highly compensated employees are currently limited to 6 percent of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan document. The Company makes a discretionary matching contribution currently equal to 50 percent of the first 6 percent of eligible earnings, as defined in the Plan, that the participant contributes. Contributions are subject to certain limitations. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s discretionary matching contributions were made entirely in Company common stock.

C. Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, discretionary matching contribution and an allocation of Plan earnings. Allocations of Plan earnings are based on account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

D. Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s discretionary matching contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of service. Participants begin vesting in Company contributions after one year of service and are fully vested after five years of service.

E. Participant Loans Receivable

Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their total vested account balances. Loan terms may range up to 15 years for the purpose of purchasing a primary residence, and up to five years for all other purposes. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and earn interest at rates established by the Plan administrator. The current interest rates of participant loans receivable ranges from 4.0% to 11.5%. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions.

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF PLAN—Continued

F. Payment of Benefits

On termination of service before the normal retirement age of 65, a participant may elect to defer distribution until normal retirement age or receive a lump sum payment equal to the vested share of the participant’s account. Effective March 28, 2005, if or when the participant’s total vested benefit value is $1,000 or less, the Plan requires the administrator to direct the trustee to pay the entire vested benefit to the participant in a lump sum. Prior to March 28, 2005, the same occurred if the participant’s total vested benefit value was $5,000 or less.

Effective March 28, 2005, if the participant’s total vested benefit value is between $1,000 and $5,000 and the participant does not elect to rollover or receive the distribution, the Plan requires the administrator to direct the trustee to pay the entire vested benefit to the participant in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the administrator.

On termination of service due to death, disability or normal retirement, participants or their beneficiaries may elect to receive a lump sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account.

G. Forfeited Matching Contributions

Activity in forfeited non-vested accounts is summarized below:

	Years ended December 31,
	2006			2005
Balance, beginning of period	$	2,510,753		$	3,744,207
Forfeitures	3,622,020			2,117,321
Investment gains (losses)	1,040,089			(1,855		)
Administrative expenses	(211,577		)	(133,088		)
Forfeitures used to fund contribution	(211,566		)	(3,215,832		)
Balance, end of period	$	6,749,719		$	2,510,753

Subsequent to December 31, 2006, the Plan used $3,500,000 of forfeited non-vested accounts to reduce the Company’s fourth quarter employer contribution.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. The Company may pay administrative expenses of the Plan, with the exception of costs incurred for loans, which are paid by participants who have loans.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued

B. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Company’s Unitized Stock Fund includes shares of the Company’s common stock, which is valued at its quoted market price, and may also include interest-earning cash for pending transactions. Participant loans receivable are valued at cost which approximates estimated fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

C. Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

D. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that materially affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

E. Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various types of investment securities, including mutual funds and Countrywide Financial Corporation common stock. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

Certain mutual funds offered by the Plan invest in the securities of foreign companies, which involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks include devaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, and possible adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than similar types of securities of comparable U.S. companies.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately 33% and 34%, respectively, of total Plan investments were invested in Countrywide Financial Corporation common stock.

NOTE 4—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity Investments and shares of common stock of Countrywide Financial Corporation. Fidelity Investments is the trustee and Countrywide Financial Corporation is the plan sponsor as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

NOTE 5—PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

NOTE 6—TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated June 5, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Amendments to the Plan have been made subsequent to the date of the IRS determination letter. However, the Company believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the requirements of the Code.

NOTE 7—DISCRETIONARY CONTRIBUTION

Effective January 1, 2006, the plan was amended to include a discretionary Profit Sharing contribution to eligible participants. Eligible participants are participants who were hired on or after January 1, 2006, and are therefore not eligible for the Company’s Defined Benefit Pension Plan, and have completed one year of service and are actively employed on the last day of the year. The contribution in 2006 was 2% of eligible compensation, funded in cash. The contribution for 2006 was funded in March 2007, in the amount of $550,780 in cash and is included in the employer’s contribution receivable on the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Participants who receive the discretionary Profit Sharing contribution begin vesting after one year of service and are fully vested after five years.
