Note 1—Basis of Presentation

Countrywide Financial Corporation (“Countrywide”) is a holding company which, through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is engaged in mortgage lending and other real estate finance-related businesses, including mortgage banking, banking and mortgage warehouse lending, dealing in securities and insurance underwriting.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

In preparing financial statements in compliance with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that materially affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, including a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for the Company (the “2006 Annual Report”).

Certain amounts reflected in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Note 2—Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140 (“SFAS 155”), was effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after December 31, 2006. This Statement:

· Establishes a requirement to evaluate whether interests in securitized financial instruments contain an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation;

· Permits fair value accounting to be elected for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation;

· Clarifies which interest-only stripped securities and principal-only stripped securities are not subject to SFAS 133; and

· Clarifies that concentration of credit risks in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives.

The application of SFAS 155 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position or earnings of the Company.

FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (“FIN 48”) was issued to clarify the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, relating to the recognition of income tax benefits.

FIN 48 provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits when the benefits’ realization is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit is to be recognized; the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized:

· Income tax benefits should be recognized when, based on the technical merits of a tax position, the entity believes that if a dispute arose with the taxing authority and were taken to a court of last resort, it is more likely than not (i.e., a probability of greater than 50 percent) that the tax position would be sustained as filed; and

· If a position is determined to be more likely than not of being sustained, the reporting enterprise should recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority.

FIN 48 was applicable beginning January 1, 2007. The opening balances of income taxes payable and retained earnings were adjusted for the cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 as follows:

	Income Taxes Payable			Retained Earnings
	(in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2006		$	4,935,763	$	12,151,691
Remeasurement of income tax liability upon adoption of FIN 48		12,719		(12,719		)
Balance at January 1, 2007		$	4,948,482	$	12,138,972

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as of January 1, 2007 was $180.6 million. If recognized, $126.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the Company’s effective income tax rate. As of June 30, 2007, there have been no material changes to the unrecognized tax benefits, including those that would impact the Company’s effective income tax rate.

As of January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it was reasonably possible that a change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months would significantly impact the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax uncertainties in its provision for income taxes and income taxes payable. The after-tax equivalent of approximately $17.2 million for interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions was included in income taxes payable at January 1, 2007. As of June 30, 2007 there have been no material changes to the amounts of interest and penalties recognized in the statement of earnings or balance sheet.

As of June 30, 2007, the IRS exam team had completed its fieldwork for tax years for 2003 and 2004, and forwarded the results for administrative review. The California Franchise Tax Board examination for 2003 and 2004 is not expected to be completed by December 31, 2007 and the 2002 tax year is still open to examination.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized a non-recurring reduction of its deferred income tax liabilities resulting from moving certain of our operations to other states. This adjustment resulted in a reduced income tax rate of 27.0 percent.

Note 3—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is determined using net earnings divided by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive common shares were issued.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2007						2006
	Net Earnings		Shares	Per-Share Amount			Net Earnings		Shares	Per-Share Amount

During the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, options to purchase 172,011 shares and 72,890 shares, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, options to purchase 26,390 shares and 123,940 shares, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

Note 4—Loan Sales

As more fully discussed in “Note 3—Loan Sales” included in the consolidated financial statements in the 2006 Annual Report, the Company retains financial interests in its loan sales activities in the form of interest-only, principal-only and subordinated interests. The Company also obtains mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) through its loan sales activities.

MSRs and retained interests are carried at fair value. The Company estimates fair value through the use of discounted cash flow models. The key assumptions used in the valuation of MSRs include mortgage prepayment speeds and discount rates. The key assumptions used in the valuation of retained interests include mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, and for those subordinated interests containing credit risk, net credit losses over the expected lifetime of the security. The discounted cash flow models incorporate cash flow and prepayment projections based on data drawn from the historical performance of the loans underlying the Company’s MSRs and retained interests, which management believes are consistent with assumptions other major market participants would use in determining the assets’ fair value.

Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the Company’s MSRs at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the effect on their fair value from adverse changes in those assumptions, are as follows:

	June 30, 2007			December 31, 2006
	(dollar amounts in thousands)
Fair value of MSRs	$	20,087,368		$	16,172,064

Impact of 20% adverse change	$	654,612		$	505,029

COUNTRYWIDE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)

Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the Company’s retained interests at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the effect on their fair value from adverse changes in those assumptions are as follows:

	June 30, 2007			December 31, 2006
	(dollar amounts in thousands)
Fair value of retained interests	$	2,735,513			$	3,040,575
Weighted-average life (in years)	4.8				3.1
Weighted-average annual prepayment speed	23.4		%		30.6		%
Impact of 5% adverse change	$	85,793			$	97,971
Impact of 10% adverse change	$	164,777			$	184,866
Impact of 20% adverse change	$	297,468			$	335,668
Weighted-average annual discount rate	18.4		%		18.2		%
Impact of 5% adverse change	$	38,765			$	33,809
Impact of 10% adverse change	$	78,115			$	60,475
Impact of 20% adverse change	$	152,084			$	127,056
Weighted-average net lifetime credit losses	5.1		%		2.7		%
Impact of 5% adverse change	$	74,644			$	48,550
Impact of 10% adverse change	$	148,024			$	117,336
Impact of 20% adverse change	$	277,800			$	224,616

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a given percentage variation in individual assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated. Also, in the preceding tables, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs or retained interests is calculated independently without changing any other assumption. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another which might compound or counteract the sensitivities.

Note 5—Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The primary market risk facing the Company is interest rate risk, which includes the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the value of our assets or liabilities (“price risk”) and the risk that net interest income from our mortgage loan and investment portfolios will change in response to changes in interest rates. The overall objective of the Company’s interest rate risk management activities is to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in interest rates.

The Company manages interest rate risk with derivative financial instruments and by the structure of its activities as follows:

· The Company uses various financial instruments, including derivatives, to manage the interest rate risk related specifically to the values of its commitments to make loans (also referred to as interest rate lock commitments or “IRLCs”), mortgage loans held by the Company pending sale (“Mortgage Loan Inventory”), retained interests and trading securities, as well as a portion of its debt.

COUNTRYWIDE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)

· Structurally, the Company manages interest rate risk in its Mortgage Banking Segment through the natural counterbalance of its loan production and servicing businesses. In its Banking Segment, the Company manages interest rate risk by funding the segment’s interest-earning assets with liabilities of similar duration or a combination of derivative instruments and certain liabilities that create repricing characteristics that closely reflect the repricing behaviors of those assets.

Risk Management Activities Related to Mortgage Loan Inventory and Interest Rate Lock Commitments

To manage the price risk associated with the IRLCs, the Company generally uses a combination of net forward sales of Mortgage Backed-Securities (“MBS”) and put and call options on MBS, Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures. The Company generally makes forward sales of MBS in an amount equal to the portion of the IRLCs expected to close, assuming no change in mortgage rates. The Company acquires put and call options to protect against the variability of loan closings caused by changes in mortgage rates. To manage the credit spread risk associated with its IRLCs the Company may enter into credit default swaps.

The Company manages the price risk related to the Mortgage Loan Inventory primarily by entering into forward sales of MBS and Eurodollar futures. The values of these forward MBS sales and Eurodollar futures move in opposite direction to the value of the Mortgage Loan Inventory. To manage the credit spread risk associated with its Mortgage Loan Inventory, the Company may enter into credit default swaps or similar instruments. The Company actively manages the risk profiles of its IRLCs and Mortgage Loan Inventory on a daily basis.

The Company manages the price risk, including credit spread risk, related to its commercial mortgage loans, using interest rate, total rate of return and credit default swaps.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the interest rate risk management activities associated with 51% of the fixed-rate mortgage loan inventory and 44% of the adjustable-rate mortgage loan inventory were accounted for as fair value hedges. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized net pre-tax losses of $6.4 million and $41.8 million, respectively, representing the ineffective portion of the hedges of its Mortgage Loan Inventory that qualified as fair value hedges.

Risk Management Activities Related to Mortgage Servicing Rights and Retained Interests

To moderate negative impacts on earnings caused by a rate-driven decline in fair value of its MSRs and retained interests from securitization, the Company maintains a portfolio of financial instruments, including derivatives and securities, which generally increase in value when interest rates decline. In addition, the Company uses credit default swaps or similar instruments to moderate the negative impact on earnings caused by a credit spread-driven decline in fair value. This portfolio of financial instruments is collectively referred to herein as the “Servicing Hedge.”

Risk Management Activities Related to Issuance of Long-Term Debt

The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts in which the rate received is fixed and the rate paid is adjustable and is indexed to LIBOR. These interest rate swaps enable the Company to convert a portion of its fixed-rate long-term debt to U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating-rate debt (notional amount of $26.8 billion as of June 30, 2007) and a portion of its foreign currency-denominated fixed and floating-rate long-term debt to U.S. dollar LIBOR-based floating-rate debt (notional amount of $4.4 billion as of June 30, 2007). These transactions are generally designated as fair value hedges under SFAS 133. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized net pre-tax gains of $9.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively, representing the ineffective portion of its fair value hedges of debt.

Risk Management Activities Related to Deposit Liabilities

The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts that have the effect of converting a portion of its fixed-rate deposit liabilities to LIBOR-based variable-rate deposit liabilities. These transactions are designated as fair value hedges. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $0.3 million and a net pre-tax loss of $2.2 million, respectively, representing the hedge ineffectiveness relating to these swaps.

Risk Management Activities Related to the Broker-Dealer Securities Trading Portfolio

In connection with its broker-dealer activities, the Company maintains a trading portfolio of fixed-income securities, primarily MBS. The Company is exposed to price changes in its trading portfolio arising from interest rate changes during the period it holds the securities. To manage this risk, the Company utilizes derivative instruments including forward sales/purchases of To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) MBS, short/long interest rate futures contracts, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, long put/call options on interest rate futures contracts, interest rate caps and receiver swaptions.

The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) assesses securities classified as available for sale for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. This assessment evaluates whether the Company intends and is able to recover the amortized cost of the securities when taking into account the Company’s present investment objectives and liquidity requirements and whether the creditworthiness of the issuer calls the realization of contractual cash flows into question.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, ALCO determined that the Company no longer intends to hold certain obligations of U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises until the impairment can be recovered. Such securities had a carrying value of $469.8 million and unrealized losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income totaling $4.7 million at June 30, 2007. Accordingly, the Company transferred the impairment losses relating to these securities from accumulated other

The SLNs bear interest at prevailing money market rates approximating LIBOR. The SLN programs’ capacities, based on aggregate commitments from underlying credit enhancers, totaled $30.7 billion at June 30, 2007.

compliance with the requirements of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), which are similar to those of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Bank’s former regulator. The Company is also subject to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) net worth requirements, which are lower than those of the OTS. Management believes the Company is in compliance with those requirements.

At June 30, 2007, the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios and amounts and minimum required capital ratios to maintain a “well capitalized” status are as follows:

	June 30, 2007
	Minimum Required (1)			Ratio			Amount

Total		10.0	%		13.7	%	$	8,454,560

(1) Minimum required to qualify as “well capitalized.”

Had Countrywide Bank’s capital been calculated in compliance with the OTS requirements at December 31, 2006, its regulatory capital ratios and amounts and minimum required capital ratios would have been as follows:

	December 31, 2006
	Minimum Required (1)			Ratio			Amount
	(dollar amounts in thousands)

Total		10.0	%		12.8	%	$	7,337,235

(1) Minimum required to qualify as “well capitalized.”

Countrywide Bank is required by OTS regulations to maintain tangible capital of at least 1.5% of assets. However, the Bank is also required to maintain a tangible equity ratio of at least 2% to avoid being classified as “critically undercapitalized.” Critically undercapitalized institutions are subject to the prompt corrective action provisions of the Financial Institution Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. The Bank’s tangible capital ratio was 8.0% and 7.6% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

The Company has five business segments: Mortgage Banking, Banking, Capital Markets, Insurance and Global Operations.

The Mortgage Banking Segment is comprised of three sectors: Loan Production, Loan Servicing and Loan Closing Services.

The Loan Production Sector originates prime and nonprime loans for sale or securitization through a variety of channels on a national scale. The Loan Production Sector is comprised of three lending channels of Countrywide Home Loans and also includes the mortgage banking activities of Countrywide Bank. The three production channels are: the Retail Channel (Consumer Markets and Full Spectrum Lending), the Wholesale Lending Channel and the Correspondent Lending Channel. The Retail Channel sources mortgage loans primarily from consumers through the Company’s retail branch network and call centers, as well as through real estate agents and homebuilders. The Wholesale Lending Channel sources mortgage loans primarily from mortgage brokers. The Correspondent Lending Channel purchases mortgage loans from other mortgage lenders, including financial institutions, commercial banks, savings and loan associations, home builders and credit unions.

The Loan Servicing Sector includes investments in MSRs and retained interests, as well as the Company’s loan servicing operations and subservicing for other domestic financial institutions. The Loan Closing Services Sector is comprised of the LandSafe companies, which provide credit reports, appraisals, title reports and flood determinations to the Company’s Loan Production Sector, as well as to third parties.

The Banking Segment includes Banking Operations—primarily the investment and fee-based activities of Countrywide Bank—together with the activities of Countrywide Warehouse Lending and certain loans produced for investment and owned by Countrywide Home Loans. Banking Operations invests in mortgage loans sourced from the Loan Production Sector and mortgage loans and high-quality MBS purchased from non-affiliated entities. Countrywide Warehouse Lending provides third-party mortgage lenders with temporary financing secured by mortgage loans.

The Capital Markets Segment includes the operations of Countrywide Securities Corporation, a registered broker-dealer specializing in the mortgage securities market. It also includes the operations of Countrywide Asset Management Corporation, Countrywide Commercial Real Estate Finance Inc., Countrywide Servicing Exchange, CFC International Capital Markets, Limited, Countrywide Alternative Investments Inc., CSC Futures Inc., Countrywide Capital Markets Asia Ltd, Countrywide Capital Markets Asia (H.K.) Limited, CAA Management Inc., Countrywide Sunfish Management LLC and Countrywide Derivative Products, Inc.

The Insurance Segment includes Balboa Life and Casualty Group, a national provider of property, casualty, life, disability and credit insurance; Balboa Reinsurance Company, a primary mortgage reinsurance company; and Countrywide Insurance Services, Inc., a national insurance agency offering a specialized menu of insurance products directly to consumers.

The Global Operations Segment includes Global Home Loans Limited, a provider of loan origination processing and loan subservicing in the United Kingdom until July 31, 2006; UKValuation Limited, a provider of property valuation services in the UK until December 6, 2006; Countrywide International Technology Holdings Limited, a licensor of loan origination processing, servicing and residential real

estate value assessment technology; and CFC India Private Limited, a provider of call center, data processing and information technology related services.

Segment selection was based upon internal organizational structures, and the process by which these operations are managed and evaluated, including how resources are allocated to the operations.

Intersegment transactions are generally recorded on an arms-length basis. However, the fulfillment fees paid by Banking Operations to the Production Sector for origination costs incurred on mortgage loans funded by Banking Operations are generally determined on an incremental cost basis, which may be less than the fees that Banking Operations would pay to a third party.

Note 26—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides a framework for measuring fair value when such measurements are used for accounting purposes. The framework focuses on an exit price in the principal (or, alternatively, the most advantageous) market accessible in an orderly transaction between willing market participants. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy with Level 1 representing quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market and Level 3 representing estimated values based on unobservable inputs. Under SFAS 157, related disclosures are segregated for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the level used within the hierarchy to determine their fair values. The Company has determined that it will adopt SFAS 157 on its effective date of January 1, 2008 and the financial impact, if any, upon adoption has not yet been determined.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits fair value accounting to be irrevocably elected for certain financial assets and liabilities on an individual contract basis at the time of acquisition or at a remeasurement event date. Upon adoption of SFAS 159, fair value accounting may also be elected for existing financial assets and liabilities. For those instruments for which fair value accounting is elected, changes in fair value will be recognized in earnings and fees and costs associated with origination or acquisition will be recognized as incurred rather than deferred. SFAS 159 is effective January 1, 2008, with

early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2007. The Company has determined that it will adopt SFAS 159 concurrent with the adoption of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, but has not yet determined the financial impact, if any, upon adoption.

In April 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39, (“FSP FIN 39-1”). FSP FIN 39-1 amends certain paragraphs of FASB Interpretation Number 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts,—an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 10 and FASB Statement No. 105 (“FIN 39”) to permit a reporting entity to offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early application permitted. Upon application, the Company shall be permitted to change its accounting policy to offset or not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. The Company has not yet determined whether it will apply this guidance earlier than its effective date and has not determined the financial impact, if any, upon application.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As used in this Report, references to “we,” “our,” “the Company” or “Countrywide” refer to Countrywide Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated. This discussion includes forward-looking statements concerning future events and performance of the Company, which are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as discussed under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors That May Affect Our Future Results.

Overview

This section gives an overview of critical items that are discussed in more detail throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the residential mortgage market continued to be affected by increasing interest rates, a weakening housing market and increasing delinquencies and defaults. Regulators and legislators increased their focus on tightening underwriting standards for new mortgage loans. Many nonprime mortgage lenders were impacted by reduced liquidity and as a result, were required to scale back or cease operations. Countrywide and most other market participants responded to changes in the marketplace with changes in product offerings and tightening of underwriting guidelines.

Countrywide’s quarterly results were negatively impacted by increased credit-related costs, primarily related to home equity loans. However, during the quarter Countrywide was able to increase loan production and estimated market share. Our pre-tax earnings from our Loan Production sector improved from the first quarter of 2007 as revenues increased, particularly for nonprime products underwritten with the revised guidelines.

Following is a summary of our key performance measures for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

(1) Based on internal estimates.

Consolidated net earnings for the second quarter of 2007 were $485.1 million, a decrease of 33% from net earnings of $722.2 million for the second quarter of 2006, reflecting the effect of increased credit-related costs in the current quarter, primarily related to investments in prime home equity loans. The increased credit costs were caused by higher delinquencies and defaults resulting from softer housing markets. Following are certain key items affecting the quarter’s earnings:

· We recognized impairment losses on credit-sensitive retained interests totaling $417.2 million, including $388.1 million on subordinated interests collateralized by prime home equity loans.

· We recognized an increase in our provision for loan losses of $231.0 million, including an increase of $183.4 million relating to prime home equity loans.

· We recognized a non-recurring reduction of our deferred income tax liabilities resulting from moving certain of our operations to other states. This adjustment reduced our effective income tax rate from 39.5 percent in the second quarter of 2006 to 27.0 percent for the current quarter.

Credit

With respect to our mortgage banking activities, a primary source of credit risk stems from investments and/or obligations that we retain from sales and securitizations of loans in the form of credit-enhancing subordinated interests, representations and warranties and corporate guarantees. Estimated credit losses over the expected lifetime of the security are considered in the valuation of our subordinated interests. In general, the entire carrying value of such interest is at risk because the related cash flows are available to absorb credit losses in the loan pools underlying such subordinated interests. We held $1.5 billion of credit-sensitive subordinated interests at June 30, 2007, a decrease of 27% from December 31, 2006.

Our liability for representations and warranties and corporate guarantees was $487.8 million at June 30, 2007 and $435.5 million at December 31, 2006. The contractual limit of our corporate guarantees exceeded the liabilities recorded by $506.3 million and $490.5 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

We held $69.7 billion of mortgage loans for investment, primarily in our Banking Operations, at June 30, 2007, a decrease of 4% from December 31, 2006. Our allowance for credit losses, which includes our allowance for loan losses and a liability for losses relating to unfunded commitments, was $531.1 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of 97% from December 31, 2006. The increase reflects higher estimated losses stemming from higher delinquencies combined with higher estimates of default rates, and the seasoning of Banking Operations’ investment loan portfolio. To help moderate our credit risk, during the quarter we acquired additional supplemental mortgage insurance. As of June 30, 2007, $24.7 billion of the residential lending portfolio was covered by such insurance, an increase of $15.6 billion from December 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital

We have contingency planning protocols that were designed to encompass a wide variety of conditions, including recent secondary market volatility. We place major emphasis on the adequacy, reliability and diversity of our funding sources. At June 30, 2007, we had $190.3 billion in available sources of short-term liquidity, of which we consider $46.2 billion highly reliable and available. Details of our liquidity sources as of June 30, 2007 are included in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2007.

Our credit ratings are classified “investment grade,” with long-term ratings of A, A3 and A by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch, respectively. On July 31, 2007, Standard & Poor’s

reaffirmed our short- and long-term ratings with an outlook of “Stable.” On August 2, 2007, Moody’s Investors Service also reaffirmed our short- and long-term ratings with an outlook of “Stable.”

At June 30, 2007, the Bank exceeded the OTS regulatory capital requirements to be classified as “well capitalized,” with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.0% and a total risk-based ratio of 13.7%.

Outlook

Near the end of the second quarter and shortly thereafter, market demand for the securities that we create in our loan securitization activities was negatively affected by investor concern about credit quality and demand for higher yields. As a result of these changes, we expect in the short term to retain more loans in our portfolio of loans held for investment or to hold additional loan or security inventory until market conditions improve.

Similarly, during the third quarter, funding liquidity to mortgage companies became constrained. We believe we have adequate funding liquidity to accommodate these marketplace changes in the near term; however, the secondary market and funding liquidity situation is rapidly evolving and the potential impact on the Company is unknown. Continuation of these conditions or further deterioration could result in further reductions in the Company’s funding volume. Our strategy of retaining a larger portion of loans or securities may impact our gain on sale margins in the short-term.

We believe the current environment of rapidly changing and evolving credit markets may provide increasing challenges for the financial services sector, including Countrywide. We also believe that the challenges facing the industry should ultimately benefit Countrywide as the mortgage lending industry continues to consolidate. For additional information regarding current conditions and our expectation of future trends, please see the section in this Report entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Prospective Trends.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies with the greatest impact on our financial condition and results of operations that require the most judgment, and which are most likely to result in materially different amounts being recorded under different conditions or using different assumptions, relate to our mortgage securitization activities; our investments in MSRs and retained interests; our measurement of valuation allowances and liabilities associated with credit risk inherent in our operations and our use of derivatives to manage interest rate risk.

A discussion of the critical accounting policies related to these activities is included in our 2006 Annual Report.

Results of Operations Comparison—Quarters Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

Consolidated Earnings Performance

Our consolidated net earnings for the second quarter of 2007 were $485.1 million, a decrease of 33% from 2006’s second quarter net earnings of $722.2 million. Our diluted earnings per share were $0.81, as compared to $1.15 for the year-ago period. The decrease in our net earnings resulted primarily from increased credit-related costs, largely pertaining to our investments in prime home equity loans and residual securities. The increased credit-related costs resulted from higher loss expectations caused by rising delinquencies and defaults, which in turn were primarily caused by softer housing markets. The negative impact on net earnings from higher credit-related costs was partially offset by a non-recurring reduction in our corporate tax rate resulting from remeasurement of deferred income taxes precipitated by the relocation of certain operating activities to other states. The Mortgage Banking Segment generated pre-tax earnings of $319.6 million, a 49% decline from the year-ago quarter. This decrease was due

primarily to a loss in our Loan Servicing Sector attributable to a net impairment charge of $268.1 million stemming from a reduction in the value of our credit-sensitive retained interests, primarily prime home equity subordinated interests. The decrease in pre-tax earnings in our Loan Servicing Sector was partially offset by an increase in pre-tax earnings in our Loan Production Sector due to higher loan sales volume.

The Banking Segment was also adversely impacted by increased credit-related costs, and produced pre-tax earnings of $128.9 million, a decrease of 60% from the year-ago period. The decrease was driven primarily by a $209.4 million increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by an improvement in net interest income of $42.2 million from the year-ago period.

(1) Acquisitions from third parties.

Our total loan production was $133.1 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, an 11% increase from the year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our market share from 15.3% to 18.6% in the overall mortgage market that declined approximately 9.9% from the year-ago quarter. The increase in our market share was driven primarily by share gains by our Correspondent Lending Channel (market size and share data are based on our internal estimates.)

Mortgage Banking Segment

The Mortgage Banking Segment includes the Loan Production, Loan Servicing and Loan Closing Services Sectors. The Loan Production and Loan Closing Services Sectors generally perform most profitably when mortgage interest rates are relatively low and the demand for mortgage loans is high. Conversely, the Loan Servicing Sector generally performs well when mortgage interest rates are relatively high and loan prepayments are low. We generally expect the natural counterbalance of these sectors to reduce the impact of changes in mortgage interest rates on our earnings over the long term.

Loan Production Sector

The Loan Production Sector sources mortgage loans through the three production channels of our mortgage banking subsidiary, Countrywide Home Loans—the Retail Channel (Consumer Markets and Full Spectrum Lending), Wholesale Lending Channel and Correspondent Lending Channel. These loans are funded through any one of these channels or through Countrywide Bank, FSB (“Countrywide Bank” or the “Bank”).

Total Mortgage Banking loan production	$	123,068,000				$	103,635,000

Revenues increased from the year-ago period, driven primarily by a $22.7 billion, or 24%, increase in the Mortgage Banking loan sales volume. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in prime margins, primarily as a result of increased price competition, a higher percentage of production originated in our Correspondent Lending Channel, which has lower margins, and a change in product mix. In the quarter ended June 30, 2007, $117.6 billion of mortgage loans, or 96% of Mortgage Banking loan production, was sold compared to $95.0 billion of mortgage loans, or 92% in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 included an $80.2 million write-down of nonsalable delinquent loans that were transferred to loans held for investment. The write-down related primarily to Prime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans.

Expenses decreased from the year-ago period (both in dollars and as a percentage of loans produced), primarily due to a change in the production channel mix toward our Correspondent Lending Channel which has a lower cost structure than our origination channels and cost cutting initiatives. These reductions notwithstanding, we continue to invest in expanding the loan sales force and distributed branch network in support of our long-term strategy of increasing our share of the market. While we continue to expand our loan production capacity, we also make adjustments in markets where declines in production require such adjustments.

Loan Servicing Sector

The results of our Loan Servicing Sector include fees and other income earned and expenses incurred for servicing loans for others; the financial performance of our investments in MSRs and retained interests and the risk management activities related to these assets; and profits from our subservicing activities. The long-term performance of this sector is affected primarily by the level and direction of interest rates, the corresponding effect on the level of projected and actual prepayments in our servicing portfolio, projected and actual credit losses, our operational effectiveness and our ability to manage interest-rate and credit-spread risk.

Our servicing portfolio grew to $1.4 trillion at June 30, 2007, an 18% increase from June 30, 2006. At the same time, the overall weighted-average note rate of loans in our servicing portfolio increased to 6.6% from 6.3% at June 30, 2006.

(1) Annualized

The pre-tax loss in the Loan Servicing Sector was $147.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, a decrease in results of operations of $426.6 million from the year-ago period. The decline in pre-tax earnings was due in large part to impairment of retained interests of $268.1 million in the current quarter compared to recovery of retained interests of $51.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Also contributing to the decline in pre-tax earnings was an increase in interest expense related to the cost of carrying a larger average investment in Loan Servicing Sector assets and increased cost of debt. These reductions were partially offset by higher operating revenues from a larger servicing portfolio.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we recorded net impairment of the retained interests held in our Loan Servicing Sector of $268.1 million as summarized below:

	Quarters Ended June 30,
	2007						2006
	(Impairment) Recovery				Asset Balance at Period End		(Impairment) Recovery			Asset Balance at Period End
	(in thousands)
Credit-sensitive retained interests		$	(417,224	)	$	1,461,828		$	10,133	$	1,804,987
Non credit-sensitive retained interests		149,107			1,159,306			41,398		801,369
(Impairment) recovery of retained interests		$	(268,117	)	$	2,621,134		$	51,531	$2,606,356

The impairment losses on credit-sensitive retained interests recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 largely relate to subordinated interests backed by prime home equity loans. These charges were caused primarily by increasing delinquencies and related increased projections of defaults caused by weakening housing market conditions. These losses were partially offset by $149.1 million in fair value increases primarily relating to interest-only and principal-only retained interests.

Loan Closing Services Sector

This sector is comprised of the LandSafe companies, which provide credit reports, flood determinations, appraisals and title reports primarily to the Loan Production Sector and to third parties as well.

The LandSafe companies produced $28.3 million in pre-tax earnings in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, representing an increase of 8% from the year-ago period. The increase in LandSafe’s pre-tax earnings was primarily due to the increase in its credit report and appraisal businesses due to the increase in our loan application activity.

Banking Segment

The Banking Segment includes Banking Operations—primarily the investment and fee-based activities of Countrywide Bank—along with the activities of Countrywide Warehouse Lending (“CWL”). Banking Operations invests in mortgage loans sourced from the Loan Production Sector and mortgage loans and high-quality MBS purchased from non-affiliated entities. CWL provides other mortgage lenders with temporary financing secured by mortgage loans.

Banking Operations sources the loan production for its investment portfolio from the Mortgage Banking Segment’s production channels and through purchases from non-affiliated entities. Following is a summary of Banking Operations’ loan production and purchase volume by channel:

	Quarters Ended June 30,
	2007		2006
	(in millions)
Consumer Markets	$	1,550	$	2
Correspondent Lending	1,229		3,453
Purchases	1,106		1,900
Wholesale Lending	576		2,906
	$	4,461	$	8,261

The decline in Banking Operations’ loan production and purchase volume contributed to slower asset growth in our Banking Operations. Our strategic plan calls for continued long-term growth in Banking Operations’ assets. However, asset growth in any period is influenced by general mortgage market conditions, the availability of assets which meet our asset quality and yield requirements and our consolidated capital and earnings considerations.

The Banking Segment achieved pre-tax earnings of $128.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to $325.4 million for the year-ago period. Following is the composition of pre-tax earnings:

	Quarters Ended June 30,
	2007			2006
	(in thousands)
Banking Operations	$	136,310		$	328,742
CWL	9,712			13,406
Allocated corporate expenses	(17,112		)	(16,777		)
Total Banking Segment pre-tax earnings	$	128,910		$	325,371

The revenues and expenses of Banking Operations are summarized in the following table:

	Quarters Ended June 30,
	2007			2006
	(dollar amounts in thousands)
Interest income	$	1,419,389		$	1,240,805

Provision for credit losses(1)	(246,290		)	(36,907		)
Net interest income after provision for credit losses	217,049			384,191
Non-interest income	49,647			37,670
Mortgage insurance expense	(23,938		)	(7,718		)

Efficiency ratio(2)	26		%	21		%
After-tax return on average assets	0.50		%	0.99		%

(1) Includes provision for loan losses plus provision for losses on unfunded loan commitments.

(2) Non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income plus non-interest income. The Banking Operations’ efficiency ratio reflects the expense structure resulting from its relationship with Countrywide Home Loans but does not include allocated corporate expenses. If Banking Operations were a stand-alone entity, the nature and amount of its expenses would differ from those reported. For example, the fulfillment fees paid by Countrywide Bank to the Loan Production Sector for origination costs incurred on investment mortgage loans funded by Countrywide Bank are generally determined on an incremental cost basis which is less than would be incurred in an arms-length transaction.

Banking Operations achieved pre-tax earnings of $136.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $192.4 million, or 59%, from the year-ago period primarily driven by higher provision for credit losses and an increase in mortgage insurance expense, partially offset by an increase in net interest margin.

The Banking Operations’ provision for credit losses increased by $209.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to higher loss expectations driven by the impact of the current housing market on delinquency and default trends as well as portfolio seasoning. The impact was most significant on prime home equity loans. The provision for credit losses on prime home equity loans was $185.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to $27.2 million in the year-ago quarter.

The provision for credit losses and the related allowance for credit losses is affected by many factors, including economic conditions (for example, housing prices, interest rates and unemployment rates), borrower credit profiles, delinquency, and loan seasoning and prepayments.

Mortgage insurance expense increased $16.2 million from the year-ago quarter as the Bank has continued to acquire credit loss insurance as part of its credit risk management activities.

The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a $4.8 billion, or 6%, increase in average interest-earning assets combined with a 9 basis point increase in net interest margin. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily a result of a smaller rate lag impact as the spread between the MTA index, which is the base for most of the Bank’s assets, and LIBOR, which is the index for most of the Bank’s liabilities, tightened and the reduced impact of teaser rates earned on recently funded pay-option loans as fewer such loans were originated in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006. These positive factors were partially offset by a shift in asset mix to include a larger portion of lower-yielding high-credit quality mortgage-backed securities.

Interest-earning assets growth came from the acquisition of high-credit quality mortgage-backed securities from non-affiliates. This growth was partially offset by a decline in the balance of the mortgage loan portfolio from December 31, 2006 due to an increasing percentage of our originations being sold in the secondary markets, to loan runoff and to reduced availability of loans for purchase by Banking Operations that meet our investment standards.

The Banking Segment also includes the operations of CWL. CWL’s pre-tax earnings decreased by $3.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 in comparison to the year-ago period, primarily due to a 10% decrease in average mortgage warehouse advances, which resulted primarily from a decrease in overall market funding activity and to competitive pricing pressure. Warehouse lending advances were $2.5 billion at June 30, 2007, and had an average yield of 6.4% during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

Capital Markets Segment

Our Capital Markets Segment achieved pre-tax earnings of $109.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $48.1 million, or 31%, from the year-ago quarter. This decrease was caused by a decline in revenues as the business adjusted to weakening market conditions and a $35.2 million, or 35% increase in expenses to support newer lines of business.

The following table shows revenues, expenses and pre-tax earnings of the Capital Markets Segment:

Pre-tax earnings		$	109,510	$	157,590

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Capital Markets Segment generated revenues totaling $92.7 million from its conduit activities, primarily managing the acquisition and sale or securitization of loans on behalf of CHL for the Capital Markets Segment. These revenues, primarily as they relate to nonprime loans, were adversely impacted by a decline in loans sold of $10.1 billion, or 56%. Underwriting revenues were also negatively impacted as a result of the reduced volume of conduit securitizations as well as a decline in nonprime and prime home equity securitization activity on behalf of the Mortgage Banking Segment.

During the current reporting period, the commercial real estate finance activities of the Capital Markets Segment generated revenues totaling $39.7 million primarily from sales of commercial real estate loans compared to $27.9 million in the year-ago period. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in the volume of loans sold, partially offset by a decrease in margins due to credit spread widening in the commercial mortgage markets.

The following table shows the composition of Countrywide Securities Corporation (“CSC”) securities trading volume, which includes intersegment trades with the Mortgage Banking Segment, by instrument:

Balboa Life & Casualty	138,806			48	%	93,149			41	%
Total insurance claim expenses	$	154,769				$	102,809

Our mortgage reinsurance business produced $56.3 million in pre-tax earnings, an increase of 7% over the year-ago quarter, driven primarily by growth of 4% in the mortgage loans included in our loan servicing portfolio that are covered by reinsurance contracts.

Our Life and Casualty insurance business produced pre-tax earnings of $51.4 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 15%, from the year-ago quarter. The increase in earnings was driven by a $57.9 million, or 25%, increase in net earned premiums during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 in comparison to the year-ago quarter. The increase in net earned premiums was primarily attributable to growth in lender-placed insurance. Insurance claim expenses as a percentage of net earned premiums increased from 41% to 48% primarily due to an increase in loss reserves related to wildfires and Northeast windstorms in the current quarter as compared to a reduction in loss reserves on hurricane related claims booked in the year-ago quarter.

Our Life and Casualty operations seek to earn profits by capitalizing on Countrywide’s customer base and institutional relationships, as well as through operating efficiencies and sound underwriting. Insurance risk is managed through the use of reinsurance.

Global Operations Segment

Global Operation’s pre-tax earnings totaled $6.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $3.9 million from the year-ago period. The increase in earnings was primarily due to an increase in revenue recognized from the licensing of software.

(1) Includes loans sourced from the Mortgage Banking Segment.

(2) Gain on sale as a percentage of loans sold.

The decrease in Capital Markets’ gain on sale related to its conduit activities was due primarily to a decrease in sales volume resulting from lower U.S. residential mortgage production, increased competition and credit spread widening. The increase in Capital Markets’ gain on sale related to its commercial real estate activities was due to an increase in the volume of loans sold, partially offset by a decrease in margins due to credit spread widening in the commercial mortgage markets.

For the Mortgage Banking Segment, the effects on the amount of gain on sale, of changes in the volume of loans sold and in the gain-on-sale margin is summarized in the following table:

	Quarter Ended June 30, 2007 vs. June 30, 2006
	Increase (Decrease) Due to
	Loans Sold			Margin			Total
	(in thousands)
Mortgage Banking:
Prime Mortgage Loans	$	318,275		$	(254,093	)	$	64,182
Nonprime Mortgage Loans	(123,557		)	106,239			(17,318		)

Reperforming loans	(633		)	—			(633		)
Total Mortgage Banking	$	125,706		$	(141,602	)	$	(15,896	)

Gain on sale of Prime Mortgage Loans increased in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to higher sales volume, partially offset by decreased margins on such sales. The decline in margins was due to increased price competition, a shift in channel mix towards our Correspondent Lending Channel, which has lower margins than our origination channels, and reduced sales of higher-margin pay-option products.

Gain on sale of Nonprime Mortgage Loans decreased in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the year-ago quarter due primarily to a reduction in the volume of loans sold, partially offset by an increase in margins. The increase in margins was the result of improved secondary marketing execution and reduced price competition, especially in the Wholesale channel, along with a shift in the mix of loans sold towards our retail channel, which traditionally has carried greater margins than our other channels.

Gain on sale of Prime Home Equity Loans decreased in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the year-ago quarter due primarily to a decrease in sales of such loans.

Net Interest Income and Provision for Loan Losses

Net interest income is summarized below:

	Quarters Ended June 30,
	2007			2006
	(in thousands)
Net interest income (expense):
Banking Segment loans and securities	$	476,257		$	436,547
Mortgage Banking Segment:
Loans and securities	147,647			133,393
Loan Servicing Sector:
Net interest income on custodial balances	224,197			207,154
Interest expense	(249,470		)	(165,777		)
Capital Markets Segment securities inventory	19,915			17,802
Other	109,450			61,355
Net interest income	727,996			690,474
Provision for loan losses	(292,924		)	(61,898		)
Net interest income after provision for loan losses	$	435,072		$	628,576

The increase in net interest income from the Banking Segment was attributable to both an increase in the net interest margin and growth in the average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets in the Banking Segment increased to $86.7 billion during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $3.6 billion, or 4% over the year-ago quarter. Net interest margin increased to 2.19% during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, from 2.10% during the year-ago quarter. Net interest margin was positively impacted by a smaller interest rate repricing lag compared to the year-ago quarter as well as a smaller proportion of the portfolio comprising pay-option ARM loans with reduced introductory interest rates. These positive factors were partially offset by a shift in asset mix to include a larger portion of lower-yielding high-credit quality mortgage-backed securities.

The increase in net interest income from Mortgage Banking Segment loans and securities reflects an increase in the average earning-assets from the year-ago quarter, partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin. The Mortgage Banking Segment loan and securities inventory is primarily financed with borrowings tied to short-term indices. Long-term mortgage rates declined over the comparable period as short-term interest rates increased between the year-ago period and the quarter ended June 30, 2007, causing the decrease in the net interest margin.

Net interest income from custodial balances increased in the current period due to an increase in the earnings rate from 5.13% during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 to 5.35% during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 combined with an increase of $2.9 billion in average custodial balances from the year-ago quarter. Interest income on custodial balances is reduced by the interest we are required to pass through to security holders on paid-off loans, which was $113.6 million and $79.4 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Interest expense allocated to the Loan Servicing Sector increased primarily due to the effect of rising interest rates, combined with an increase in total Servicing Sector assets.

The increase in net interest income from the Capital Markets securities inventory is attributable to a 39% increase in the average inventory of securities held, partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin from 0.14% in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 to 0.11% in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in the net interest margin earned on the securities portfolio is primarily due to a increase in short-term financing rates compared to a decrease in rates on the longer-term securities held by the Capital Markets Segment.

The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to higher loss expectations driven by the impact of the current housing market on delinquency and default trends as well as portfolio seasoning. The impact was most significant on prime home equity loans.

Loan Servicing Fees and Other Income from MSRs and Retained Interests

Loan servicing fees and other income from MSRs and retained interests are summarized below:

	Quarters Ended June 30,
	2007		2006
	(in thousands)
Servicing fees, net of guarantee fees(1)	$	1,102,707	$	939,778
Income from retained interests	123,941		128,542
Late charges	90,137		61,923
Prepayment penalties	70,018		58,148
Ancillary fees	34,452		18,768
Total loan servicing fees and income from MSRs and retained interests	$	1,421,255	$	1,207,159

(1) Includes contractually specified servicing fees.

The increase in servicing fees, net of guarantee fees, was principally due to an 12% increase in the average servicing portfolio, combined with an increase in the overall annualized net service fee earned from 0.324% of the average portfolio balance during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 to 0.340% during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

The decrease in income from retained interests was primarily due to a reduction in the average yield on such instruments from 18% in the year-ago quarter to 16% in the current quarter, partially offset by a 4% increase in the average investment in these assets from the quarter ended June 30, 2006 to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Income from retained interests excludes any impairment charges or recoveries, which are included in impairment of retained interests in the consolidated statement of earnings. These investments include interest-only, principal-only and subordinated interests that arise from the securitization of mortgage loans, primarily Nonprime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans.

Realization of Expected Cash Flows from Mortgage Servicing Rights

The change in fair value of MSRs that is included in earnings for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 consists of two primary components—a reduction in fair value due to the realization of expected cash flows from the MSRs and a change in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates and other market factors. The realization of expected cash flows from MSRs resulted in a value reduction of $1,007.2 million and $768.1 million during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Change in Fair Value of Mortgage Servicing Rights

We recorded increases in the fair value of the MSRs in the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 of $1,327.4 million and $569.0 million, respectively, primarily as a result of increasing mortgage rates during both quarters which lowered expected future prepayment speeds.

(Impairment) Recovery of Retained Interests

(Impairment) recovery of retained interests is summarized below:

	Quarters Ended June 30,
	2007						2006
	(Impairment) Recovery				Asset Balance at Period End		(Impairment) Recovery			Asset Balance at Period End
	(in thousands)
Credit-sensitive retained interests		$	(417,224	)	$	1,461,828		$	10,133	$	1,804,987
Non credit-sensitive retained interests		149,107			1,273,685			41,365		946,031
(Impairment) recovery of retained interests		$	(268,117	)	$	2,735,513		$	51,498	$	2,751,018

In the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we recognized impairment of credit-sensitive retained interests of $417.2 million, including $388.1 million related to subordinated interests on prime home equity securitizations. The impairment charges on these subordinated interests were driven by weakening housing market conditions, which resulted in increased estimates for future losses on the loans underlying these securities. The loss estimate, as measured by undiscounted losses embedded in the valuation of subordinated interests as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance of the loans underlying such interests, increased from 3.1% to 5.2% during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

In the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded increases in value of non credit-sensitive retained interests amounting to $149.1 million and $41.4 million respectively. These increases were related primarily to interest-only and principal-only retained interests.

Servicing Hedge Losses

The Servicing Hedge is designed to supplement the macro hedge and to offset a portion of the change in value of MSRs and retained interests recorded in current period earnings. The values of the derivatives and securities that are the primary components of the Servicing Hedge are tied to long-term mortgage, swap and Treasury rates. These rates increased during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. As a result, the Servicing Hedge incurred a loss of $1,373.1 million, including $125 million of time value decay of the options included in the Servicing Hedge (our “hedge cost”) in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and a loss of $621.1 million, including $112 million of hedge cost, in the quarter ended June 30, 2006.

In a stable interest rate environment, we expect to incur no significant declines in value of MSRs other than recovery of our investment through the realization of cash flows. However, we expect to incur hedge costs. The level of Servicing Hedge gains or losses in any period depends on various factors such as the size and composition of the hedge, the shape of the yield curve and the level of implied interest rate volatility.

Net Insurance Premiums Earned

An increase in premiums earned on the lender-placed insurance lines of business, along with an increase in reinsurance premiums earned contributed to the $68.2 million increase in net insurance premiums earned.

Global Operations	3,486	2,041
Corporate Administration	7,054	7,290
Average workforce, including temporary staff	58,261	56,054

Compensation expense reductions in the Mortgage Banking Segment and in Corporate Administration were partially offset by increases in the Capital Markets Segment.

· In the Mortgage Banking Segment, compensation expenses decreased $39.4 million, or 4% before deferral of loan origination costs. The decrease came from the Loan Production Sector, where compensation expenses decreased $54.1 million, or 7% because of a change in channel mix, partially offset by a 2% increase in average staff to support our capacity growth efforts. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $9.1 million in the Loan Servicing Sector due to continuing growth in the servicing portfolio and increasing delinquencies and an increase of $5.6 million in the Loan Closing Services Sector.

· In Corporate Administration, compensation expense reductions of $49.7 million primarily related to reductions in stock-based compensation and pension expenses as well as to reduced staffing levels.

· In the Capital Markets Segment, compensation expense increased by $27.9 million due to an increase in the average staffing levels relating to newer lines of business.

Incremental direct costs associated with the origination of loans are deferred when incurred. Subsequent treatment of these costs is based on whether the loans are held for sale or held for investment. If the loan is sold, the costs deferred are included as a component of gain on sale in the period sold; if the loan is held for investment, the deferred costs are amortized to interest income over the life of the loan.

Insurance Claim Expenses

Insurance claim expenses were $154.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $102.8 million for the year-ago period. The increase in insurance claims expense was due to growth in our insurance book of business and to losses arising from wildfires and Northeast windstorms during the current quarter.

Advertising and Promotion Expenses

Advertising and promotion expenses increased 21% from the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the increasing competition for lending business as the mortgage market volume declines.

Results of Operations Comparison—Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006

Consolidated Earnings Performance

Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $919.0 million, a 35% decrease from the year-ago period. Our diluted earnings per share were $1.53, a 32% decrease from the year-ago period.

The decrease in our net earnings resulted primarily from increased credit costs attributable to higher loss expectations caused by rising delinquencies and defaults stemming from softer housing markets. In addition, volatile market conditions, primarily in the nonprime and prime home equity arenas, contributed to the year-over-year earnings decline, which are reflected in our Mortgage Banking, Banking and Capital Markets segments. These decreases were partially offset by a non-recurring reduction in our corporate tax rate to 32.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, which compares to 39.2% in the year-ago period and an increase in the profitability of our Insurance Segment. The change in the tax rate is the result of

remeasurement of deferred income taxes precipitated by the relocation of certain operating activities resulting in favorable state income tax consequences.

The decrease in the profitability of our Mortgage Banking Segment was due primarily to decreased profitability in both our Loan Production and Loan Servicing Sectors. Our Loan Production Sector was negatively impacted by the turmoil early in the period in the nonprime markets which caused a decline in nonprime revenues. Our Loan Servicing Sector was negatively impacted by impairment of prime home equity and nonprime and other related residual securities. These credit-sensitive residuals declined in value due to increasing delinquency and default trends stemming from a softer housing market. As a result of these factors, we recorded impairment of retained interests of $696.7 million in the Loan Servicing Sector in the current six month period compared to impairment of retained interests of $68.6 million in the year-ago period.

The Banking Segment produced pre-tax earnings of $417.0 million, a decrease of 37% from the year-ago period. The decrease in profitability of our Banking Segment was primarily due to a $311.0 million increase in the provision for credit losses, partially offset by a 7% increase in average interest-earning assets in Banking Operations from the year-ago period. Pre-tax earnings of our Capital Markets Segment decreased $71.4 million, or 23%, from the year-ago period, due to weakening market conditions and an increase in expenses related to continued growth in newer lines of business. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the profitability of the Insurance Segment, due to an increase in the net earned premiums and a reversal of loss reserves related to the 2003 book of reinsurance business on which negligible remaining loss exposure was deemed to exist in the first six months of 2007.

Our total loan production was $250.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an 11% increase from the year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our market share from 15.5% to 18.2% (based on our internal market estimates) in a mortgage market that declined approximately 7% from the year-ago period. The increase in our market share was primarily driven by increased market share in our Correspondent Lending Channel.

Total Mortgage Banking loan production	$	233,635,000				$	197,087,000

Revenues (in dollars and expressed as a percentage of mortgage loans produced) decreased from the year-ago period driven primarily by declining Nonprime Mortgage Loan revenues and a decrease in Prime Mortgage margins, partially offset by a $40.6 billion increase in the volume of loans sold. Nonprime revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included a $217.8 million write-down of nonprime mortgage loans held for sale, most of which were transferred to loans held for investment. This charge was partially offset by gains of $97.0 million from credit default swaps. Credit default swaps are used to manage credit spread risk (the risk that investors will require higher yields as a result of changes in their assessment of credit risk as compared to a risk-free U.S. Treasury security). Revenues were also affected by an $80.2 million write-down of primarily nonsalable prime and prime home equity mortgage loans held for sale, most of which were transferred to loans held for investment. In the six months ended June 30, 2007, $226.2 billion of mortgage loans, or 97% of Mortgage Banking loan production, was sold compared to $185.7 billion of mortgage loans, or 94% of Mortgage Banking loan production, in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Expenses decreased from the year-ago period (both in dollars and as a percentage of loans produced), primarily due to a change in the production channel mix towards our Correspondent Lending Channel, which has a lower cost structure than our origination channels and to cost cutting initiatives.

(1) Annualized

The pre-tax loss in the Loan Servicing Sector was $216.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease in results of operations of $744.5 million from the year-ago period. The decline in pre-tax earnings was due to impairment of retained interests totaling $696.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to a loss of $68.6 million in the year-ago period. Also contributing to the decline in pre-tax earnings was an increase in interest expense related to the cost of carrying a larger average investment in Loan Servicing Sector assets and increased cost of debt. These reductions were partially offset by higher operating revenues from a larger servicing portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded an impairment of retained interests of $696.7 million as summarized below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007						2006
	(Impairment) Recovery				Asset Balance at Period End		(Impairment) Recovery				Asset Balance at Period End
	(in thousands)
Credit-sensitive retained interests		$	(782,296	)	$	1,461,828		$	(91,496	)	$	1,804,987
Non credit-sensitive retained interests		85,604			1,159,306			22,913			801,369
(Impairment) recovery of retained interests		$	(696,692	)	$	2,621,134		$	(68,583	)	$	2,606,356

The impairment losses recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2007, on credit-sensitive retained interests primarily relate to subordinated interests backed by prime home equity and nonprime and related loans. The declines in value were caused primarily by weakening housing market conditions resulting in increased delinquency and default trends and related loss projections. Impairment charges relating to subordinated interests backed by prime home equity loans and nonprime and related loans totaled $521.0 million and $255.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. These losses were partially offset by $85.6 million in fair value increases primarily relating to interest-only and principal-only retained interests.

Loan Closing Services Sector

The LandSafe companies produced $58.2 million in pre-tax earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2007, representing an increase of 20% from the year-ago period. The increase in LandSafe’s pre-tax earnings was due to an increase in our loan application activity.

Banking Operations achieved pre-tax earnings of $430.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $229.1 million, or 35%, from the year-ago period. This decrease resulted primarily from a higher provision for credit losses and an increase in mortgage insurance expense, partially offset by an increase in net interest income.

The Banking Operations’ provision for credit losses increased by $311.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to higher loss expectations driven by the impact of the current housing market on delinquency and default trends as well as portfolio seasoning. The impact was most significant on prime home equity loans. The provision for credit loss on prime home equity loans was $286.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $46.0 million in the year-ago period.

Mortgage insurance expense increased $27.3 million as the Bank has continued to acquire loss insurance as part of its credit risk management activities.

(3) Represents an intercompany rate paid to the Loan Servicing Sector.

(4) Calculated as yield on total average interest-earning assets less rate on total average interest-bearing liabilities.

(5) Calculated as net interest income divided by total average interest-earning assets.

The dollar amounts of interest income and interest expense vary depending upon changes in interest rates and upon the relative volumes of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (changes in average outstanding balances multiplied by the prior period’s rate), (ii) changes in rate (changes in average interest rate multiplied by the prior period’s volume), and (iii) changes in rate/volume (changes in rate multiplied by the change in volume)—which were allocated proportionately to the changes in volume and the changes in rate and included in the relevant column below—are as follows:

Net interest income	$	17,834			$	102,847		$	120,681

The increase in net interest income is primarily due to a $5.4 billion, or 7%, increase in average interest-earning assets and a 15 basis point increase in net interest margin. The increase in the net interest margin from the year-ago period was a result of the effect of a smaller interest rate repricing lag and the reduced impact of teaser rates earned on recently funded pay-option loans as such loans comprised a smaller portion of the portfolio in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the year-ago period, partially offset by a change in asset mix to include a larger portion of lower-yielding high-credit quality mortgage-backed securities.

The Banking Segment also includes the operations of CWL. CWL’s pre-tax earnings decreased by $12.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 in comparison to the year-ago period, primarily due to a 10% decrease in average mortgage warehouse advances, which resulted primarily from a decrease in overall market funding activity and to competitive pricing pressure. Warehouse lending advances were $2.5 billion at June 30, 2007 and had an average yield of 6.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Capital Markets Segment

Our Capital Markets Segment achieved pre-tax earnings of $241.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $71.4 million, or 23%, from the year-ago period caused by an overall decline in revenue and a $56.1 million, or 27% increase in expenses to support newer lines of business.

The following table shows revenues, expenses and pre-tax earnings of the Capital Markets Segment:

Pre-tax earnings	$	241,718	$	313,163

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Capital Markets Segment generated revenues totaling $161.5 million from its conduit activities, primarily managing the acquisition and sale or securitization of loans on behalf of CHL. These revenues, primarily as they relate to nonprime loans, were adversely impacted by deteriorating market conditions, specifically higher investor yield requirements. Also, the volume of loans sold declined by $20.6 billion, or 57%, reflecting adverse market conditions, reduced CHL loan production and fewer third party loan purchases. Underwriting revenues were also negatively impacted because of the reduced volume of conduit securitizations as well as a decline in nonprime and prime home equity securitization activity on behalf of the Mortgage Banking Segment.

During the current reporting period, the commercial real estate finance activities of the Capital Markets Segment generated revenues totaling $88.0 million compared to $44.1 million in the year-ago period. The increase in revenue was due to an increase in the volume of loans sold, partially offset by a decrease in margins due to credit spread widening resulting from turmoil in the mortgage market during the six month ended June 30, 2007.

The following table shows the composition of CSC securities trading volume, which includes intersegment trades with the Mortgage Banking Segment, by instrument:

Our mortgage reinsurance business produced an increase in pre-tax earnings of $88.3 million, or 89%, over the year-ago period, resulting primarily from a $74.0 million reversal of loss reserves related to the 2003 book of business, on which negligible remaining loss exposure was deemed to exist in the first six months of 2007. Also contributing to the increase in pre-tax earnings was growth of 4% in the mortgage loans included in our loan servicing portfolio that are covered by reinsurance contracts.

Our Life and Casualty insurance business produced pre-tax earnings of $108.0 million, an increase of $40.6 million, or 60%, from the year-ago period. The increase in earnings was driven by a $100.8 million, or 22%, increase in net earned premiums during the six months ended June 30, 2007 in comparison to the year-ago period. The increase in net earned premiums was primarily attributable to growth in lender-placed insurance and voluntary auto insurance.

Global Operations Segment

Global Operation’s pre-tax earnings totaled $10.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $2.3 million from the year-ago period. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to the termination of the joint venture with Barclays Bank, PLC in 2006, partially offset by an increase in revenue recognized from the licensing of software.

For the Mortgage Banking Segment, the effects of changes in the volume of loan sales and the margin on sale on the amount of gain on sale is summarized in the following table:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 vs. June 30, 2006

Total Mortgage Banking		$	393,098		$	(538,590	)	$	(145,492	)

Gain on sale of Prime Mortgage Loans increased in the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to higher sales, substantially offset by decreased margins on such loans. The decline in margins was due to increased price competition, change in product mix to lower-margin products and a shift in channel mix towards our Correspondent Lending channel, which has lower margins than our origination channels.

Gain on sale of Nonprime Mortgage Loans decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the year-ago period due primarily to a write-down of $217.8 million that related largely to the transfer of $906.9 million Nonprime Mortgage Loans held for sale to loans held for investment in the first quarter of 2007. This negative impact was partially offset by improved secondary market execution for nonprime loans in the second quarter of 2007. The loans transferred to loans held for investment had declined in value as a result of deteriorating market conditions-specifically higher investor yield requirements as well as increased loss assumptions-during the first quarter of 2007. The negative effect of this write-down was partially offset by a $97.0 million gain in credit default swaps, used to mitigate credit spread risk. Also contributing to the decline in gain on sale of Nonprime Mortgage Loans was a reduction in the volume of loans sold in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Gain on sale of Prime Home Equity Loans decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the year-ago period due primarily to a decrease in the value of subsequent draws resulting from higher loss expectations.

Net Interest Income and Provision for Loan Losses

Net interest income is summarized below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007			2006
	(in thousands)
Net interest income (expense):
Banking Segment loans and securities	$	987,010		$	874,455
Mortgage Banking Segment:
Loans and securities	258,030			282,231
Loan Servicing Sector:
Net interest income on custodial balances	428,017			367,181
Interest expense	(477,994		)	(311,659		)
Capital Markets Segment securities inventory	44,395			50,165
Other	219,475			122,536
Net interest income	1,458,933			1,384,909
Provision for loan losses	(444,886		)	(125,036		)
Net interest income after provision for loan losses	$	1,014,047		$	1,259,873

The increase in net interest income from the Banking Segment was attributable to both an increase in the net interest margin and growth in the average interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets in the Banking Segment increased to $84.9 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $4.0 billion, or 5% over the year-ago period. Net interest margin increased to 2.32% during the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 2.16% during the year-ago period primarily as a result of a smaller interest rate repricing lag compared to the prior period as well as the segment’s portfolio containing a smaller proportion of pay-option ARM loans with reduced introductory interest rates. These positive factors were partially offset by a shift in asset mix to include a larger portion of lower-yielding high-credit quality mortgage-backed securities.

The decrease in net interest income from the Mortgage Banking Segment loans and securities reflects a decrease in net interest margin from the year-ago period, partially offset by a higher balance of average earning-assets. The Mortgage Banking Segment loan and securities inventory is primarily financed with borrowings tied to short-term indices. Short-term interest rates rose as average long-term mortgage interest rates experienced a decline between the year-ago period and the six months ended June 30, 2007, causing the decrease in net interest margin.

Net interest income from custodial balances increased in the current period due to an increase in the earnings rate from 4.94% during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 5.24% during the six months ended June 30, 2007, and by an increase of $3.2 billion in average custodial balances from the year-ago period. Interest income on custodial balances is reduced by the interest we are required to pass through to security holders on paid-off loans, which was $202.9 million and $149.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Interest expense allocated to the Loan Servicing Sector increased primarily due to an increase in total Loan Servicing Sector assets.

The decrease in net interest income from the Capital Markets securities inventory is attributable to a decrease in the net interest margin from 0.20% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 0.12% in the six months ended June 30, 2007, partially offset by a 43% increase in the average inventory of securities held. The decrease in the net interest margin earned on the securities portfolio is primarily due to an increase in

short-term financing rates compared to a decrease in the rates we earn on the longer-term securities held by the Capital Markets Segment.

Loan Servicing Fees and Other Income from MSRs and Retained Interests

Loan servicing fees and other income from MSRs and retained interests are summarized below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007		2006
	(in thousands)
Servicing fees, net of guarantee fees(1)	$	2,141,350	$	1,853,240
Income from retained interests	272,263		262,515
Late charges	180,410		129,264
Prepayment penalties	148,814		111,934
Global Operations Segment subservicing fees	—		11,824
Ancillary fees	65,707		38,269
Total loan servicing fees and income from MSRs and retained interests	$	2,808,544	$	2,407,046

(1) Includes contractually specified servicing fees.

The increase in servicing fees, net of guarantee fees, was principally due to an 11% increase in the average servicing portfolio, combined with an increase in the overall annualized net service fee earned from 0.325% of the average portfolio balance during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 0.338% during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The increase in income from retained interests was due primarily to a 7% increase in the average investment in these assets from the six months ended June 30, 2006 to the six months ended June 30, 2007 partially offset by a reduction in the yield on such instruments from 18% in the year-ago period to 17% in the current period. Income from retained interests excludes any impairment charges or recoveries, which are included in impairment of retained interests in the consolidated statement of earnings. These investments include interest-only, principal-only and residual securities that arise from the securitization of mortgage loans, primarily Nonprime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans.

Realization of Expected Cash Flows from Mortgage Servicing Rights

The change in fair value of MSRs that is included in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 consists of two primary components—a reduction in fair value due to the realization of expected cash flows from the MSRs and a change in fair value resulting from changes in interest rates and other market factors. The realization of expected cash flows from MSRs resulted in a value reduction of $1,931.9 million and $1,506.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Change in Fair Value of Mortgage Servicing Rights

We recorded an increase in the fair value of MSRs in the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $1,506.5 million, primarily due to increased mortgage rates during the period which lowered expected future prepayment speeds. Mortgage rates also increased in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and as a result we recorded an increase in the fair value of the MSRs of $1,547.3 million.

Impairment of Retained Interests

Impairment of retained interests is summarized below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007						2006
	(Impairment) Recovery				Asset Balance at Period End		(Impairment) Recovery				Asset Balance at Period End
	(in thousands)
Credit-sensitive retained interests		$	(782,296	)	$	1,461,828		$	(91,496	)	$	1,804,987
Non credit-sensitive retained interests		84,578			1,273,685			22,340			946,031
(Impairment) recovery of retained interests		$	(697,718	)	$	2,735,513		$	(69,156	)	$	2,751,018

In the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized impairment of credit-sensitive retained interests of $782.3 million, including $521.0 million related to subordinated interests on prime home equity securitizations and $255.9 million related to nonprime and related residual interests. These impairment charges were the result of the effect of weakening housing market conditions on increased estimates for future losses on the loans underlying these securities. In addition, increased market yield requirements for the nonprime securities contributed to the decline in the value of the nonprime residual interests.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized impairment of credit-sensitive retained interests of $91.5 million. This impairment was primarily the result of a decline in the value of certain nonprime securities due to compression of the interest rate spread on the residuals we hold because the interest on the collateral is fixed-rate while the pass-through rate is floating.

In the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized increases in values of the non credit-sensitive retained interests, consisting primarily of interest-only and principal-only retained interests.

Servicing Hedge Losses

The Servicing Hedge is designed to supplement the macro hedge and to offset a portion of the change in value of MSRs and retained interests recorded in current period earnings. The values of the derivatives and securities that are the primary components of the Servicing Hedge are tied to long-term mortgage, swap and Treasury rates. These rates increased during the six months ended June 30, 2007. In addition, we used credit default swaps to moderate a negative impact on earnings caused by credit spread-driven declines in fair value during the first quarter of 2007. During the first quarter of 2007, credit spreads widened, resulting in a gain related to the credit default swaps. The Servicing Hedge incurred a loss of $1,486.8 million, including $239 million of time value decay of the options included in the Servicing Hedge (our “hedge cost”) and a $57.2 million gain related to the credit default swaps.

In the six months ended June 30, 2006, long-term mortgage, swap and Treasury rates increased. As a result, the Servicing Hedge incurred a loss of $1,506.9 million, including $245 million of hedge cost.

Net Insurance Premiums Earned

An increase in premiums earned on the lender-placed and voluntary auto insurance lines of business, along with an increase in reinsurance premiums earned, contributed to the $122.5 million increase in net insurance premiums earned.

Other Revenue

Other revenue consists of the following:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007			2006
	(in thousands)
Base salaries	$	1,198,486		$	1,141,259

Average workforce by segment is summarized below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007	2006
Mortgage Banking	41,506	40,843
Banking	2,115	2,297
Capital Markets	987	744
Insurance	2,110	2,123
Global Operations	3,197	2,226
Corporate Administration	6,941	7,091
Average workforce, including temporary staff	56,856	55,324

Compensation expense reductions in the Mortgage Banking Segment and in Corporate Administration were partially offset by increases in the Capital Markets Segment.

· In the Mortgage Banking Segment, compensation expenses decreased $42.9 million, or 2%, before deferral of loan origination costs. The decrease came from the Loan Production Sector, where compensation expenses decreased $65.0 million, or 4%, because of a change in channel mix, partially offset by a 2% increase in average staff to support our capacity growth efforts. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $9.7 million in the Loan Servicing Sector due to continuing growth in the servicing portfolio and rising delinquencies and an increase of $12.4 million in the Loan Closing Services Sector.

· In Corporate Administration, compensation expense reductions primarily related to reductions in stock-based compensation and pension expenses as well as to reduced staffing levels.

· In the Capital Markets Segment, compensation expense increased by $38.9 million due to an increase in the average headcount relating to new lines of business.

Occupancy and Other Office Expenses

Occupancy and other office expenses are summarized below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007		2006
	(in thousands)

Occupancy and other office expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased by 5%, or $26.8 million, reflecting growth in facilities.

Insurance Claim Expenses

Insurance claim expenses were $212.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $226.9 million for the year-ago period. The decrease in insurance claim expenses was driven by a $74.0 million reversal of loss reserves related to the 2003 reinsurance book of business, on which negligible remaining loss exposure was deemed to exist in the current period, partially offset by growth in earned premiums. This compares to a reversal of $6.3 million of loss reserves related to the 2002 reinsurance books of business in the year-ago period.

Advertising and Promotion Expenses

Advertising and promotion expenses increased 19% from the six months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the increasing competition for lending business as mortgage market volumes decline.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses are summarized below:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007			2006
	(in thousands)
Insurance commission expense	$	93,577		$	90,890

Deferral of loan origination costs	(55,461		)	(55,684		)
Total other operating expenses	$	509,395		$	445,075

The increase in operating expenses reflects an increase in purchased mortgage insurance expense related to the Banking Operations portfolio of loans held for investment of $27.3 million and overall growth in the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The primary market risk facing the Company is interest rate risk, which includes the risk that changes in interest rates will result in changes in the value of our assets or liabilities (“price risk”) and the risk that net interest income from our mortgage loan and investment portfolios will change in response to changes in interest rates. The overall objective of our interest rate risk management activities is to reduce the variability of earnings caused by changes in interest rates. Our Corporate Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is comprised of several of the Company’s senior financial executives, is responsible for management of this risk.

We manage price risk through the natural counterbalance of our loan production and servicing businesses. We also use various financial instruments, including derivatives, to manage price risk related specifically to the values of our IRLC, mortgage loans and MBS held pending sale (“Mortgage Loan Inventory”), MSRs and retained interests and trading securities, as well as a portion of our debt.

We manage interest rate risk in our Banking Segment by funding the segment’s interest-earning assets with liabilities of similar duration or a combination of derivative instruments and certain liabilities that create repricing characteristics that more closely reflect the repricing behaviors of those assets than of the liabilities alone.

Impact of Changes in Interest Rates on the Net Value of the Company’s Interest Rate-Sensitive Financial Instruments

We perform various sensitivity analyses that quantify the net financial impact of changes in interest rates on our interest rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments. These analyses incorporate assumed changes in the interest rate environment, including selected hypothetical, instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve.

We employ various commonly used modeling techniques to value our financial instruments in connection with these sensitivity analyses. For mortgage loans, MBS, MBS forward contracts,

collateralized mortgage obligations, interest-only securities and MSRs, we use option-adjusted spread models. The primary assumptions used in these models for the purpose of these sensitivity analyses are the prepayment speeds and implied market volatility of interest rates. For options and interest rate floors, we use an option-pricing model. The primary assumption used in this model is implied market volatility of interest rates. For retained interests, with the exception of interest-only securities, we use a zero volatility discounted cash flow model. The primary assumptions used in these models are prepayment rates, discount rates and credit losses.

The following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value of our interest-rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments as of June 30, 2007, given several hypothetical, (instantaneous) parallel shifts in the yield curve:

The following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value of the Company’s interest-rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments as of December 31, 2006, given selected hypothetical (instantaneous) parallel shifts in the yield curve:

	Change in Fair Value
Change in Interest Rate (basis points)	-100		-50			+50			+100

Net change in fair value related to broker-dealer trading securities	$	26	$	16		$	(17	)	$	(40	)

These sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; are based on the hedge position in place at that particular point in time; only contemplate certain movements in interest rates; do not incorporate changes in interest rate volatility or changes in the relationship of one interest rate index to another; are subject to the accuracy of various assumptions used, including prepayment forecasts and discount rates; and do not incorporate other factors that would impact the Company’s overall financial performance in such scenarios, most significantly the impact of changes in loan production earnings that result from changes in interest rates. Not all of the changes in fair value would affect current period earnings. For example, changes in fair value of securities accounted for as available-for-sale securities are recognized as a component of shareholders’ equity, net of income taxes, and our debt is carried at its unpaid balances net of issuance discount or premium. Absent hedge accounting, changes in the market value of our debt are not recorded in current-period earnings. For these reasons, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as an earnings forecast.

Market Risk—Foreign Currency Risk

To diversify our funding sources on a global basis, we issue a portion of our medium-term notes denominated in foreign currencies. We manage the associated foreign currency risk through cross-currency swap transactions. The terms of the cross-currency swaps have the effect of converting all foreign currency-denominated medium-term notes into U.S. dollar obligations, thereby eliminating the associated foreign currency risk. As a result, potential changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies denominating such medium-term notes would not have a financial impact on future earnings, fair values or cash flows.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is the potential for financial loss resulting from the failure of a borrower or an institution to honor its contractual obligations to us. Credit risk arises in many of our business activities including lending activities, mortgage banking, securities trading activities and interest rate risk management activities. We actively manage credit risk to maintain expected credit losses within levels that achieve our profitability and return on capital objectives.

Lending Activities—Sale of Loans

Nearly all of the mortgage loans that we originate or purchase in our Mortgage Banking and Capital Markets Segments are sold into the secondary mortgage markets. When we sell our mortgage loans, we retain varying degrees of credit risk. As described in more detail in our 2006 Annual Report, the degree to which credit risk on the underlying loans is transferred in a loan sale depends on the terms of the sales transaction—including the structure of any securities created and retained.

We generally retain two types of credit risk: credit risk embedded in subordinated interests that we retain and that are structured to absorb losses before the senior securities we create and sell to investors; and recourse arising from representations and warranties we provide in loan sale agreements or from corporate guarantees we issue.

Our Prime Mortgage Loans generally are sold on a non-recourse basis, while Prime Home Equity and Nonprime Mortgage Loans generally are sold with limited recourse for credit losses. Almost all of our loan sales transactions retain credit risk in the form of the representations and warranties we provide and that are customary for loan sales transactions.

Subordinated Interests

Our exposure to credit losses related to subordinated interests is limited to the assets’ carrying values. We carry subordinated interests at their estimated fair values. The carrying values of our subordinated interests are as follows:

	June 30, 2007		December 31, 2006
	(in thousands)
Prime home equity line of credit transferor’s interest	$	588,807		$	698,047
Nonprime residuals and other related securities	441,442			541,708
Prime home equity residual securities	423,642			778,574
Subordinated mortgage-backed pass-through securities	28,789			1,382
Prime residual securities	7,937			12,756
	$	1,490,617		$	2,032,467

The carrying values of our subordinated interests take into account our estimates of losses to be absorbed by the subordinated interests.

The losses absorbed by our subordinated interests during the period are summarized as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007		2006
	(in thousands)
Prime home equity residual securities	$	195,761	$	25,251
Nonprime residuals and other related securities	151,278		38,330
Prime residual securities	3,158		1
	$	350,197	$	63,582

Representations and Warranties

When we sell loans, we make representations and warranties relating to the loans. In the event of a breach of these representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans with the identified defects or indemnify the investor or insurer. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans.

Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits. However, our contractual liability arises only when the representations and warranties are breached. We attempt to limit our risk of incurring these losses by structuring our operations to ensure consistent production of quality mortgages and servicing those mortgages at levels that meet secondary mortgage market standards. We make significant investments in personnel and technology to ensure the quality of our mortgage loan production.

We estimate our liability for representations and warranties when we sell loans and update our estimate quarterly. Our provision for estimated losses arising from loan sales is recorded as an adjustment to gain on sale of loans. Our provision for estimated losses arising from the sale of credit-subordinated interests is recorded as an adjustment to (impairment) recovery of retained interests. Following is a summary of our liability for representations and warranties for the periods presented:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007			2006
	(in thousands)
Balance, beginning of period	$	390,111		$	169,773
Provision for losses	90,435			184,878
Chargeoffs	(48,723		)	(47,003		)
Balance, end of period	$	431,823		$	307,648

Corporate Guarantees

Our corporate guarantees are contracts written to protect purchasers of our loans from credit losses up to a specified amount. We estimate the losses to be absorbed by the guarantees when we sell loans with guarantees and update our estimates every quarter. We record our provision for losses arising from the guarantees as a component of gain on sale of loans and securities. Following is a summary of our corporate guarantees for the respective dates:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007			2006
	(in thousands)

Corporate guarantees in excess of recorded liability, end of period	$	506,286		$	438,996

Portfolio Lending Activities

In our Banking Segment, our portfolio of loans held for investment includes mortgage loans originated or purchased for investment purposes and mortgage loan warehouse lending advances. In our Mortgage Banking Segment, loans held for investment include mortgage loans repurchased due to violations of representations and warranties; government-guaranteed or insured loans repurchased from Ginnie Mae securitizations in place of continuing to advance delinquent principal and interest installments to security holders; and loans transferred from loans held for sale at the lower of cost or estimated fair value.

Mortgage Loans Originated or Purchased for Investment

Our portfolio of mortgage loans originated or purchased for investment is held in our Banking Operations and consists primarily of Prime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans, with unpaid principal balances that amounted to $67.3 billion at June 30, 2007.

Our primary credit risk management tool for our portfolio loans is the origination and purchase of loans with high credit quality and collateral support. We assess a loan’s quality by considering the borrower’s credit profile and the value of collateral securing the loan. Where a proposed first mortgage loan’s loan-to-value ratio is higher than a specified level, which is usually 80% for conventional loans, we generally require the borrower to supplement the collateral with primary mortgage insurance. When we originate such loans without mortgage insurance, we generally increase the interest rate as compared to a loan with mortgage insurance to compensate for the increased credit risk.

We have taken steps in recent years to reduce the credit risk in our investment loan portfolio by acquiring supplemental mortgage insurance coverage. As of June 30, 2007, $24.7 billion of Banking Operations’ residential loan portfolio was covered by supplemental mortgage insurance purchased by the Bank on specified pools of loans, of which $16.8 billion represents first loss coverage. The maximum loss coverage available under these policies on a combined basis is $1.5 billion. While these policies generally provide for first loss coverage, some Bank-purchased policies require premium adjustments if claims exceed specified levels. Furthermore, coverage limits vary by policy, with some policies having limits at the pool level, and others at the loan level.

Following is a summary of our Banking Operations’ residential mortgage loans, together with applicable mortgage insurance, by original combined loan-to-value ratio at June 30, 2007:

(1) These amounts may include loans with borrower paid mortgage insurance.

Banking Operations holds a substantial investment in pay-option ARM loans. These loans have interest rates that adjust monthly and minimum required payments that adjust annually. The difference between the frequency of changes in the loans’ interest rates and payments along with a limitation on changes in the minimum monthly payments to 7½% per year can result in payments that are not sufficient to pay all of the monthly interest charges. Unpaid interest charges are added to the loan balance until the loan’s balance increases to a specified limit, which is no more than 115% of the original loan amount, at which time a new monthly payment amount adequate to repay the loan over its remaining contractual life is established. To ensure that contractual loan payments are adequate to repay a loan, the fully amortizing loan payment amount is re-established after either five or ten years and again every five years thereafter. These payment adjustments are not subject to the 7½% payment limit and may be substantial due to changes in interest rates and the addition of unpaid interest to the loans’ balances.

Assuming today’s interest rates remain unchanged, most borrowers who consistently make the minimum required payment will have the contractual right to make less than the full interest payment for three to four years from the date of funding, at which time the loan balance limit will be reached and a new monthly payment amount will be required.

We supplement our credit risk management practices relating to pay-option ARM loans through a variety of methods, including active borrower communications both before and after funding, through our underwriting standards and through the purchase of mortgage insurance. Our underwriting standards conform to those required to make the pay-option ARM loans salable into the secondary market at the date of funding, including a requirement that the borrower meet secondary market debt-service ratio tests based on the borrower making the fully amortizing loan payment and assuming the loan’s interest rate is fully indexed. (A fully indexed note rate equals the sum of the current index rate plus the margin applicable to the loan.) However, these standards also allow for stated or limited income documentation.

Following is a summary of pay-option ARM loans held for investment by Banking Operations:

Banking Operations’ nonperforming assets (comprised of non-accrual loans and foreclosed assets) and the allowance for loan losses related to mortgage loans originated or purchased for investment at period end are summarized as follows:

The following table shows Banking Operations chargeoffs by product:

	Six Months Ended June 30,

Prime Mortgage	39,065		2,454
Total chargeoffs	$	142,124	$	14,348

The increase in our nonperforming assets, the allowance for loan losses and chargeoffs from the year-ago period reflect prevailing real estate market and economic conditions and the growth and seasoning of our investment loan portfolio. The increase in chargeoffs was heightened by acceleration in the timing of chargeoff recognition in acknowledgement of recent trends in delinquencies and foreclosures. We expect the level of nonperforming assets and credit losses to increase, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of our loan portfolio as current weakness in the housing market develops and as our loan portfolio continues to season.

Mortgage Warehouse Lending Advances

We hold a portfolio of commercial loans made to other mortgage lenders to finance their inventories pending sale to Countrywide and other lenders. Our portfolio of mortgage loan warehouse advances totaled $2.5 billion and the average loan balance was $19.9 million at June 30, 2007. These loans are underwritten by assessing the creditworthiness of the warehouse lending borrowers. This includes reviewing both borrower-provided financial information and publicly available credit rating information and press coverage, as well as understanding the borrowers’ operational controls and product risk and assessments of collateral.

We monitor the length of time that advances are outstanding against specific residential loans and may require the borrower to pay off aged advances. We also monitor the fair value of our collateral to ensure that the level of collateral posted is adequate to repay our advance in the event of default by our borrower and we require our warehouse lending borrowers to post specified levels of cash collateral to supplement the mortgage loan collateral. We also regularly review updated financial information of borrowers, including pipeline and hedging positions. We incurred no credit losses related to this activity during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Other Mortgage Loans Held for Investment

Other loans held for investment are in our Mortgage Banking Segment and include loans we have repurchased—either to remedy a violation of a representation or warranty made in a loan sale, to minimize the cost of servicing a severely delinquent loan insured or partially guaranteed by the FHA or VA or in connection with a clean-up call (a clean-up call represents the repurchase of mortgage loans when the remaining outstanding balance of the mortgage loans falls to a level where the cost of servicing the loans becomes burdensome in relation to the benefits of servicing.) As discussed in the preceding section—Lending Activities—Sale of Loans—Representations and Warranties—we make provisions for losses that may arise from breaches of representations and warranties when we record the sale of these loans and we adjust our estimates for losses on these loans quarterly. We record repurchased loans at fair value when they are repurchased and any resulting loss is charged against the liability.

We may determine that a small percentage of the loans that we originate or purchase for sale will not be sold because of a defect, which may include a document deficiency, changes in secondary market conditions or deterioration of the credit status of the loan while it was held for sale. Such loans are transferred to the held for investment category at the lower of cost or estimated fair value on an individual loan basis and any loss is recorded as a component of gain on sale of loans or securities in current period earnings. Subsequent losses that may result from deterioration in the credit quality of the loans are included in our provision for loan losses.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Balance, end of period		$	157,164			$	12,838	$	13,579		$	183,581

Chargeoffs increased in Banking Operations due to increasing rates of default and loss severity, along with acceleration in the timing of chargeoff recognition as a result of recent trends in delinquencies and foreclosures. Chargeoffs decreased in other operations largely due to chargeoffs in the year-ago period being elevated as a result of a decision to transfer and sell nonperforming loans from the Mortgage Banking Segment’s portfolio of loans held for investment. The decision to sell those nonperforming loans resulted in writedowns of the loans to their estimated fair values through a chargeoff against the allowance for loan losses.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

At June 30, 2007, mortgage loans held for sale amounted to $34.1 billion. While the loans are in inventory, we bear credit risk after taking into consideration primary mortgage insurance (which is generally required for conventional first mortgage loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80%), FHA insurance or VA guarantees. These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market value, which incorporates a reduction in value for impaired loans.

Loans held for sale that have been placed on nonaccrual status includes distressed loans that are generally purchased at a discount as part of the conduit activities of the Capital Markets Segment and loans whose credit quality has deteriorated during the time that they have been held for sale.

Nonperforming assets, which includes loans held for investment (other than those originated or purchased for investment), loans held for sale that have been placed on nonaccrual and foreclosed assets, and the related allowance for loan losses are summarized as follows:

	June 30, 2007		December 31, 2006

(1) Excludes $1,361.4 million and $1,254.9 million, at June 30, 2007 and at December 31, 2006, respectively, of loans that we have the option but not the obligation to repurchase that are required to be included in our balance sheet but which we have not exercised the option to repurchase.

(2) Excludes nonaccrual loans that are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at the lower of cost or estimated fair value and government-guaranteed loans held for investment, as shown below:

	June 30, 2007			December 31, 2006
	(in thousands)
Loans held for sale		$	279,824		$	566,610
Government guaranteed loans, held for investment		350,452			334,465
		$	630,276		$	901,075

(3) Generally these loans have been repurchased and recorded at fair value or transferred to held for investment at lower of cost or estimated fair value. Fair values incorporate the impaired status at the date of repurchase of the loans. Losses related to subsequent deterioration in the credit quality of the loans are recorded in the allowance for loan losses.

(4) The allowance for loan losses excludes any reduction to the cost basis of loans recorded to reflect estimated fair value at repurchase or transfer to held for investment.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses from December 31, 2006 is due to growth in loans held for investment in the Mortgage Banking Segment along with worsening credit performance in that portfolio.

Mortgage Reinsurance

We provide mortgage reinsurance on certain mortgage loans included in our servicing portfolio through contracts with several primary mortgage insurance companies. Under these contracts, we provide aggregate excess loss coverage in a mezzanine layer in exchange for a portion of the pool’s mortgage insurance premium. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $98.3 billion of mortgage loans in our servicing portfolio are covered by such mortgage reinsurance contracts. The reinsurance contracts place limits on our maximum exposure to losses. At June 30, 2007, the maximum aggregate losses under the reinsurance contracts were limited to $998.5 million. We are required to pledge securities to cover this potential liability. The accumulated liability recorded for estimated reinsurance totaled $112.4 million and $156.2 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we did not experience any losses under our reinsurance contracts.

Securities Trading and Derivatives Counterparty Credit Risk

We have exposure to credit loss in the event of contractual non-performance by our trading counterparties and counterparties to the over-the-counter derivative financial instruments that we use in our interest rate risk management activities. We manage this credit risk by selecting only counterparties we believe to be financially strong, spreading the credit risk among many such counterparties, by placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty and by entering into netting agreements with the counterparties, as appropriate.

The aggregate amount of counterparty credit exposure after consideration of relevant netting agreements at June 30, 2007, before and after collateral held by us, is as follows:

	June 30, 2007				December 31, 2006
	(in millions)
Aggregate credit exposure before collateral held		$	1,782			$	1,777
Less: collateral held		(974		)		(1,223		)
Net aggregate unsecured credit exposure		$	808			$	554

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we incurred no credit losses due to non-performance of any of our counterparties.

Total loans pending foreclosure	0.74		%	0.47		%

(1) Expressed as a percentage of the total number of loans serviced, excluding subserviced loans and loans purchased at a discount due to their collection status.

We attribute the overall increase in delinquencies in our servicing portfolio from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007 primarily to housing market conditions as well as to changing economic conditions and to portfolio seasoning. Changing borrower profiles and trends toward higher initial combined loan-to-value ratios have also contributed to the increased nonprime delinquency. We believe the delinquency rates in our servicing portfolio are consistent with rates for similar mortgage loan portfolios in the industry.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We regularly forecast our potential funding needs over three-month and longer horizons, taking into account debt maturities and potential peak balance sheet levels. We establish reliable sources of liquidity sized to meet a range of potential future funding requirements. As of June 30, 2007, we have $190.3 billion in available sources of short-term liquidity, of which we consider $46.2 billion highly reliable and available. We believe we have adequate financing capacity to meet our currently foreseeable needs. For additional information regarding current conditions and our expectation of future trends, please see the section in this Report entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Prospective Trends.

As part of our ongoing capital optimization plan, the Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $2.5 billion. In connection with this program, we repurchased $1.5 billion of our common stock in the fourth quarter of 2006 financed through the issuance of enhanced trust preferred securities and $0.9 billion of our common stock in the second quarter of 2007 financed through the issuance of convertible debentures.

On March 12, 2007, the Bank converted its charter from a national bank to a federal savings bank. As a result of this conversion, the Company became a savings and loan holding company, and is no longer a bank holding company. As a savings and loan holding company, Countrywide Financial Corporation is no longer subject to specific capital requirements. Countrywide Bank’s capital is calculated in compliance with the requirements of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), which are similar to those of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Bank’s former regulator. At June 30, 2007, the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios and amounts and minimum required capital ratios for the Bank to maintain a “well capitalized” status are as follows:

	Minimum			Countrywide Bank
	Required (1)			Ratio			Amount
	(dollar amounts in thousands)
Tier 1 Capital		5.0	%		8.0	%	$	7,990,469
Risk-Based Capital:
Tier 1		6.0	%		12.9	%	$	7,990,469
Total		10.0	%		13.7	%	$	8,454,560

Total		10.0	%		12.8	%	$	7,337,235

(1) Minimum required to qualify as “well capitalized.”

Cash Flows

Cash used by operating activities was $6.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $0.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cash used by operating activities includes the cash used for the origination and purchase of mortgage loans held for sale and the proceeds from the sales and principal repayments of such mortgages. We generally retain servicing rights and may retain other interests when these loans are sold. The recognition of the amounts retained is a non-cash investing activity. See Note 17—Supplemental Cash Flow Information in the financial statement section of this report. In the six months ended June 30, 2007, funds used to originate and purchase mortgage loans exceeded proceeds from the sales of mortgage loans by $5.8 billion, which resulted in cash used by operating activities. In the six months ended June 30, 2006, proceeds from the sales and principal repayments of mortgage loans exceeded funds used to originate and purchase mortgage loans by $2.4 billion.

Net cash used by investing activities was $7.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $13.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in net cash used by investing activities was attributable to a $16.2 billion decrease in repayment (additions) to loans held for investment, combined with a $2.9 billion decrease in securities purchased under agreements to resell, securities borrowed and federal funds sold, partially offset by a $13.0 billion increase in net additions to investments in other financial instruments.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $14.2 billion, compared to $15.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In the six months ended June 30, 2007, deposit liabilities increased $4.7 billion, compared to an increase of $11.1 billion in the year-ago period. In the six months ended June 30, 2007, long-term debt increased $2.7 billion compared to an increase in long-term debt of $4.4 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $7.7 billion increase in cash provided by short-term borrowings, including securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Guarantees

In the ordinary course of our business we engage in financial transactions that are not reflected on our balance sheet. (See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2006 Annual Report for a description of our consolidation policy.) Such transactions are structured to manage our interest rate, credit or liquidity risks, to diversify funding sources or to optimize our capital.

Most of our off-balance sheet arrangements relate to the securitization of mortgage loans. Our mortgage loan securitizations are normally structured as sales as specified by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SFAS 140”), and as such involve the transfer of the mortgage loans to qualifying special-purpose entities that are not subject to consolidation. In a securitization, an entity transferring the assets is able to convert those assets into cash. Special-purpose entities used in such

securitizations obtain cash by issuing securities representing beneficial interests in the transferred assets to investors. In a securitization, we customarily provide representations and warranties with respect to, and we generally retain the right to service, the transferred mortgage loans.

We also generally have the right to repurchase mortgage loans from the special-purpose entity pursuant to a clean-up call.

Our Prime Mortgage Loans generally are securitized on a non-recourse basis, while Prime Home Equity and Nonprime Loans generally are securitized with limited recourse for credit losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we securitized $20.9 billion in Nonprime Mortgage and Prime Home Equity Loans with limited recourse for credit losses. Our exposure to credit losses related to our limited recourse securitization activities is limited to the carrying value of our subordinated interests and to the contractual limit of reimbursable losses under our corporate guarantees less the recorded liability for such guarantees. For a further discussion of our exposure to credit risk, see the section in this Report entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Credit Risk Management.

We do not believe that any of our off-balance sheet arrangements have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Our material contractual obligations were summarized and included in our 2006 Annual Report. There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in the contractual obligations as summarized in our 2006 Annual Report during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Prospective Trends

Outlook

We believe the current environment of rapidly changing and evolving markets will provide increasing challenges for the financial services sector, including Countrywide. Specifically, in the near term, we may experience:

· Continued pressure on housing values and mortgage origination volumes

· Increasing delinquencies and foreclosures

· Continued disruptions in the secondary mortgage and debt capital markets and

· More restrictive legislative and regulatory environments.

As a result of these conditions, Countrywide and other lenders may be experiencing, among other things, the following:

· Lower loan production volumes

· Lower margins on loans produced

· Higher credit losses on delinquent loans and subordinated interests

· Reduced access to secondary mortgage and debt capital markets and

· Increased cost of debt.

In response to the current environment, Countrywide is making changes to tighten the underwriting guidelines for loan products offered and adjusting loan pricing to reflect market conditions. Further reductions in the Company’s funding volume could result. Additionally, we expect to retain more loans in our portfolio of loans held for investment or to hold additional loan or security inventory until market conditions improve. In an effort to ensure the adequacy of our funding liquidity, we continue to transition

to more reliable funding sources, which may be more costly. We are also optimizing our organizational structure through, among other things, the planned integration of Countrywide Bank and Countrywide Home Loans.

While we expect these conditions may impact our earnings in the near term, we believe that the challenges facing the industry should ultimately benefit Countrywide as the mortgage lending industry continues to consolidate.

United States Mortgage Market

In the short term, the U.S. housing market is rapidly changing and evolving. The housing market is undergoing a significant contraction and lenders and investors are tightening their credit standards. Therefore, mortgage origination volumes are likely to decrease and growth in total mortgage indebtedness is likely to slow in the short term.

Over the long term, we believe that continued population growth, ongoing developments in the mortgage market and the prospect of relatively low interest rates will support growth in the market. Some of the developments in the mortgage market that we believe will contribute to its long-term growth include government-sponsored programs targeted to increase homeownership in low-income and minority communities, the growth of prime home equity lending as a major form of consumer finance and the increasing efficiency of the secondary mortgage market that lowers the overall cost of homeownership.

Over time, the level of complexity in the mortgage lending business has increased significantly due to several factors:

· The continuing evolution of the secondary mortgage market and demand by borrowers has resulted in a proliferation of mortgage products

· Greater regulation imposed on the industry has resulted in increased costs and the need for higher levels of specialization

· Interest rate volatility has increased in recent years. At the same time, homeowners’ propensity to refinance their mortgages has increased as the refinance process has become more efficient and cost effective. The combined result has been large swings in the volume of mortgage loans originated from year to year. These volume swings have placed significant operational and financial pressures on mortgage lenders.

To compete effectively in this environment, mortgage lenders must have a very high level of operational, technological and managerial expertise. In addition, the residential mortgage business has become more capital-intensive and therefore access to capital at a competitive cost is critical. As a result of reduced access to capital, general housing trends, rising delinquencies and defaults and other factors, many mortgage lenders have recently experienced severe financial difficulty, with some exiting the business or filing for bankruptcy protection. Primarily because of these factors, the industry continues its consolidation trend.

Today, large and sophisticated financial institutions dominate the residential mortgage industry. These industry leaders are primarily commercial banks operating through their mortgage banking subsidiaries. According to the trade publication Inside Mortgage Finance, the top five originators produced 51% of all loans originated during the first six months of the calendar year 2007, as compared to 48% during the six months ended December 31, 2006. (Reprinted with the permission of IMF Copyrighted. All rights reserved by IMF.)

(1) Comparative data not included for quarter in which the institution was not in the top five originators.

We believe the consolidation trend in the mortgage industry will continue, as the aforementioned market forces will continue to drive out weak competitors. We believe Countrywide will benefit from consolidation over the long term through increased market share and enhanced ability to recruit talented personnel.

Compared to Countrywide, the other industry leaders are less reliant on the secondary mortgage market as an outlet for mortgages, due to their greater portfolio lending capacity. This could place us at a competitive disadvantage in the future if either the secondary mortgage market does not continue to provide a competitive outlet for our loans, or we are unable to sustain an adequate portfolio lending capacity.

Housing Values

Housing values affect us in several ways. Declines in housing values affect us by negatively impacting the demand for mortgage financing, increasing risk of default by mortgagors and increasing risk of loss on defaulted loans. These factors are somewhat offset by reduced prepayments in our loan servicing portfolio. Conversely, rising housing values point to healthy demand for purchase-money mortgage financing and increased average loan balances and a reduction in the risk of loss on sale of foreclosed real estate in the event a loan defaults. However, as housing values appreciate, prepayments of existing mortgages tend to increase as borrowers look to monetize the additional equity in their homes.

Recently, we have seen housing price declines, including recent declines in housing values in many metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. We expect housing values to remain stagnant or decrease during the near term which will affect our credit loss experience and may affect our willingness to offer certain mortgage loan products, both of which could impact our earnings, particularly in the short term. Over the long term, we expect that housing appreciation will be positively correlated with both consumer price inflation and growth in personal income.

Secondary Mortgage Market Investor Demand

Changes in investor demand for mortgage loans can have a significant impact on our ability to access the secondary mortgage market as a competitive outlet. In 2007, we have seen an increase in investor required yields, first for nonprime loans or securities followed by prime home equity loans and then nonconforming loans, together with a lessening in the liquidity of such loans and securities caused by reduced investor demand. In addition, certain credit rating agencies have announced that changes are pending to their securitization ratings protocol. These factors have reduced our ability and

willingness to sell such loans or securities into the secondary mortgage market and the availability and pricing of such loans to consumers. Our gain on sale margin may be impacted in the short term.

Impact of Declines in Credit Performance

With the current contraction in the U.S. housing market and the resulting slowdown in price appreciation (or price depreciation in many markets), along with worsening economic conditions, we may experience increased credit losses in the near term. In 2007, we have observed a marked decline in credit performance (as adjusted for age) for recent vintages, especially those loans with higher risk characteristics, including reduced documentation, higher loan-to-value ratios or weak credit scores. Deterioration in the credit performance of these loans has resulted in increased credit losses and impairment of our related credit-subordinated interests and higher claims under our representations and warranties. Credit markets are rapidly changing and evolving and we expect these changes to impact the housing market, demand for our mortgage-backed securities, our future credit losses and the availability of credit enhancements for the loans and securities we sell and invest in, which may impact future earnings.

Funding Liquidity

We have contingency planning protocols for funding liquidity that were designed to encompass a wide variety of market conditions. We place major emphasis on the adequacy, reliability and diversity of our funding sources. Details of Countrywide’s liquidity sources as of June 30, 2007 are included in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2007.

In the third quarter through the filing date of this Form 10-Q, funding liquidity in the financial services sector was constrained primarily due to changes in secondary mortgage market investor demand. Various mortgage lenders have experienced operating difficulties and have extended asset-backed commercial paper facilities or filed for bankruptcy protection. These events have further constrained funding liquidity in the sector.

We have maintained access to our traditional, highly reliable short-term liquidity sources. In view of current unprecedented market conditions, we are accessing other pre-existing funding liquidity sources, procuring new sources and accelerating the integration of our mortgage company with the Bank. As a result of this accelerated integration, a significantly higher percentage of our mortgage banking fundings will occur in the Bank sooner than originally planned. The Bank has significant liquidity sources available to fund our mortgage banking operations. While we believe we have adequate funding liquidity, the situation is rapidly evolving and the impact on the Company is unknown.

Two independent credit rating agencies recently reaffirmed their ratings and outlooks on Countrywide. On July 31, 2007, Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed our short- and long-term ratings with an outlook of “Stable.” On August 2, 2007, Moody’s also reaffirmed our short- and long-term ratings with an outlook of “Stable.”

Regulatory Trends

The regulatory environments in which we operate have an impact on the activities in which we may engage, how the activities may be carried out and the profitability of those activities. Therefore, changes to laws, regulations or regulatory policies can affect whether and to what extent we are able to operate profitably.

On June 29, 2007, the federal financial regulatory agencies issued a Statement on Subprime Mortgage Lending (the “Statement”) to address issues relating to certain subprime mortgage products and lending practices, especially as they relate to certain adjustable-rate mortgage products. This statement requires mortgage lenders to:

· Qualify borrowers based on fully-indexed interest rates with fully-amortizing payments

· Obtain adequate documentation of borrower income and assets

· Limit prepayment penalties to the initial payment reset period

· Provide adequate information for the borrower to understand the loan’s terms and features.

Recent changes in the nonprime mortgage market have had an effect similar to the changes contemplated by the Statement on product offerings and underwriting of nonprime loans. Therefore, we do not expect the Statement to have a significant short-term impact on our ability to make nonprime loans. However, over the longer term, these guidelines will influence the terms and underwriting of products that will be offered to nonprime loan applicants and are therefore likely to limit growth of nonprime lending.

Furthermore, proposed local, state and federal legislation targeted at predatory lending could have the unintended consequence of raising the cost or otherwise reducing the availability of mortgage credit for those potential borrowers with less than prime-quality credit histories. This could result in a reduction of otherwise legitimate nonprime lending opportunities. In addition, there may be future local, state and federal legislation that restricts our ability to communicate with and solicit business from current and prospective customers in such a way that we are not able to originate new loans or sell other products at current profit margins.

New Accounting Standards

concurrent with the adoption of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, but has not yet determined the financial impact, if any, upon adoption.

In April 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39, (“FSP FIN 39-1”). FSP FIN 39-1 amends certain paragraphs of FASB Interpretation Number 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts,—an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 10 and FASB Statement No. 105 (“FIN 39”), to permit a reporting entity to offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early application permitted. Upon application, the Company shall be permitted to change its accounting policy to offset or not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. The Company has not yet determined whether it will apply this guidance earlier than its effective date and has not determined the financial impact, if any, upon application.

Factors That May Affect Our Future Results

We make forward-looking statements in this Report and in other reports we file with the SEC and in press releases. Our management may make forward-looking statements orally in a public forum to analysts, investors, the media and others. Generally, forward-looking statements include:

· Projections of our revenues, income, earnings per share, capital structure or other financial items

· Descriptions of our plans or objectives for future operations, products or services

· Forecasts of our future economic performance, interest rates, profit margins and our share of future markets

· Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements give management’s expectation about the future and are not guarantees. Words like “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “promise,” “plan” and other expressions or words of similar meanings, as well as future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may” are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations. Some of these factors are discussed below.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to the following:

· Changes in general business, economic, market and political conditions from those expected

· Increased credit exposure resulting from our decision to retain more loans in our portfolio of loans held for investment than we have historically

· The level and volatility of interest rates as well as the shape of the yield curve

· A general decline in U.S. housing prices or in activity in the U.S. housing market

· Increased delinquency rates of borrowers

· A reduction in the availability of secondary markets for our mortgage loan products

· The fact that our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they may require management to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain

· The level of competition in each of our business segments

100

· Negative public opinion that could damage our reputation

· Changes in U.S. GAAP or in the legal, regulatory and legislative environments in the markets in which the Company operates

· Incomplete or inaccurate information provided by customers and counterparties, or adverse changes in the financial condition of our customers and counterparties

· Operational risks

· Failure to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce

· New lines of business or new products and services that may subject us to additional risks

· Increased cost of debt or loss of access to corporate debt markets, which may be caused by, for example, a loss of investment-grade credit ratings

· Unforeseen cash or capital requirements

· A reduction in government support of homeownership

· A change in our relationship with the housing-related government agencies and government sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”)

· Changes in regulations or the occurrence of other events that impact the business, operation or prospects of GSEs

· The ability of management to effectively implement the Company’s strategies and business plans

· The occurrence of natural disasters or other events or circumstances that could impact our operations or could impact the level of claims in the Insurance Segment.

Other risk factors are described elsewhere herein, such as Part II, Item 1A—Risk Factors as well as in other reports and documents that we file with or furnish to the SEC including the 2006 Annual Report. Other factors that could also cause results to differ from our expectations may not be described in any such report or document. Each of these factors could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Item 1A of our 2006 Annual Report presents risk factors that may impact the Company’s future results. In light of recent developments in the mortgage, housing and secondary markets, those risk factors are supplemented by the following risk factor:

Debt and secondary mortgage market conditions could have a material adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition

We have significant financing needs that we meet through the capital markets, including the debt and secondary mortgage markets. These markets are currently experiencing unprecedented disruptions, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s earnings and financial condition, particularly in the short term.

Current conditions in the debt markets include reduced liquidity and increased credit risk premiums for certain market participants. These conditions, which increase the cost and reduce the availability of debt, may continue or worsen in the future. The Company attempts to mitigate the impact of debt market disruptions by obtaining adequate committed and uncommitted facilities from a variety of reliable sources. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these efforts, that such facilities will be adequate or that the cost of debt will allow us to operate at profitable levels. The Company’s cost of debt is also dependent on its maintaining investment-grade credit ratings. Since the Company is highly dependent on the availability of credit to finance its operations, disruptions in the debt markets or a reduction in our credit ratings, could have an adverse impact on our earnings and financial condition, particularly in the short term.

The secondary mortgage markets are also currently experiencing unprecedented disruptions resulting from reduced investor demand for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities and increased investor yield requirements for those loans and securities. These conditions may continue or worsen in the future. In light of current conditions, we expect to retain a larger portion of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities than we would in other environments. While our capital and liquidity positions are currently strong and we believe we have sufficient capacity to hold additional mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities until investor demand improves and yield requirements moderate, our capacity to retain mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities is not unlimited. As a result, a prolonged period of secondary market illiquidity may reduce our loan production volumes and could have an adverse impact on our future earnings and financial condition.
