EMPLOYEES PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN: We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the MBIA Inc. Employees Profit Sharing and 401(K) Salary Deferral Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the plan administrator. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the MBIA Inc. Employees Profit Sharing and 401(K) Salary Deferral Plan as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ COOPERS & LYBRAND L.

EMPLOYEES PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. PLAN DESCRIPTION - --------------------- The MBIA Inc. Employees Profit Sharing and 401(K) Salary Deferral Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan for employees of MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company"). Effective April 1, 1987, a 401(K) deferral feature was implemented enabling eligible participants to defer up to 10% of their total eligible compensation. Matching contributions are made by the Company at the rate of 100% of the participant's contribution up to a maximum of 5% of the participant's eligible compensation. Participants may request loans from their accounts in accordance with established guidelines. The assets of both the Plan and the MBIA Inc. Employees Pension Plan are managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Fidelity"), the investment advisor, master trustee and custodian. The participants of the Plan have the option to direct the investment of their contribution share into one or more of nine Fidelity funds and the Employer Stock Fund. Vesting in employer contributions begins after three years of service and full vesting is achieved after five years of service. Participants are fully vested in their salary deferred contributions at all times. Upon reaching the normal retirement date, death or becoming disabled, a participant becomes fully vested in the Company's contributions. Nonvested benefits remaining after termination of employment serve to reduce future Company contributions. A participant is entitled to the benefit that can be provided by the contributions and income thereon, including net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses of each participant's account. Upon retirement, disability, death or termination, a participant or beneficiary can elect to receive a lump-sum distribution, installment distributions or purchase a joint and survivor annuity contract or single life annuity contract. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description and Plan Document for specific information regarding Plan provisions. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ----------------------------------------------- The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 5 MBIA INC. EMPLOYEES PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, bonds, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits. Significant accounting policies are as follows: INVESTMENTS The Plan's assets are invested in the MBIA Inc. Master Trust (the "Master Trust") together with the assets of the MBIA Inc. Employees Pension Plan. The Plan's share of investments and income from investment activities in the Master Trust is determined based on the Plan's underlying contribution to the investment classification which is, in turn, based on the investment fund elections of the participants. Investments in the Fidelity funds and the Company's common stock are valued at their current fair values based on last reported sales prices on the last business day of the year. Participant loans are stated at outstanding principal balances plus accrued interest. Gain or loss on sale of investments is based on specifically identified cost. Interest income from investments is recorded as earned on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Plan's net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. CONTRIBUTIONS Contributions from eligible participants and matching Company contributions are recorded in the month the related payroll deductions are made. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant has an account which is credited with the Company's contribution, employees' contribution and the income (loss) from the investment activities of the participant's account. 6 MBIA INC. EMPLOYEES PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company rather than out of Plan assets. Employee loan fees are paid out of the participants' accounts. 3. PLAN TERMINATION - --------------------- The Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue its contributions or terminate the Plan. However, it reserves the right to temporarily suspend contributions to or amend or terminate the Plan. Upon termination of the Plan, the accounts of all participants shall become fully vested, and the net assets of the Plan shall be distributed among the participants and beneficiaries of the Plan in proportion to their respective account balances. 4. INVESTMENTS - ---------------- As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the financial position of the Master Trust on a cash basis (excluding the ending accrual for employer contributions) and the Plan's percentage interest in each asset category were as follows:

TAX STATUS - ----------------- The Internal Revenue Service has advised that the Plan constitutes a qualified plan under Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code and is therefore exempt from federal income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a). The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on July 12, 1995 in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related Trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date. 10 SIGNATURES ---------- Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the trustees (or other persons who administer the employee benefit plan) have duly caused this annual report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
