Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholder

Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. 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 as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial position of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

GENWORTH FINANCIAL MORTGAGE INSURANCE PTY LTD

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

(1) Nature of Business, Formation of Genworth Mortgage and Basis of Presentation

Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd (“Genworth Mortgage” or “the Company” as appropriate) offers mortgage insurance products in Australia and New Zealand and is headquartered in Sydney, Australia. In particular, the Company offers primary mortgage insurance, known as “lenders mortgage insurance,” or LMI, and portfolio credit enhancement policies. The principal product is LMI, which is generally single premium business and provides 100% coverage of the loan amount in the event of a mortgage default.

On May 31, 2006 the Company acquired Vero Lenders Mortgage Insurance Limited for $165 million. The transaction was approved by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority and the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission. The acquisition was closed on July 3, 2006, and the acquired entity was renamed Genworth Financial Mortgage Indemnity Limited.

The Company’s management has determined that the Company has one reportable operating segment, mortgage insurance.

Genworth Mortgage, formerly GE Mortgage Insurance Company Pty Ltd, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Holdings Pty Ltd and was incorporated in Australia on November 10, 2003. The ultimate parent company of Genworth Mortgage is Genworth Financial, Inc. (“Genworth”). Genworth is a company incorporated in Delaware on October 23, 2003. GE Mortgage Insurance Company Pty Ltd changed its name to Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd on November 28, 2005.

Genworth was formed in preparation for the corporate reorganization of certain insurance and related subsidiaries of the General Electric Company (“GE”) and an initial public offering of Genworth common stock, completed on May 28, 2004 (“IPO”). As part of that corporate reorganization, Genworth Mortgage was party to a transfer agreement whereby it acquired all of the insurance assets and liabilities of GE Capital Mortgage Insurance Corporation (Australia) Pty Ltd and GE Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd (“Predecessor Companies”) following the approval of an application, by the Company, to the Federal Court of Australia in February 2004. The assets and liabilities were accounted for at book value as transfers between entities under common control.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The financial statements are presented in US dollars. The accompanying financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

a) Premiums

A single premium is usually collected and remitted to Genworth Mortgage as the mortgage insurer from prospective borrowers by the lenders at the time the loan proceeds are advanced. The proceeds are recorded to unearned premium reserves and recognized as premiums earned over the estimated policy life in accordance with the expected pattern of risk emergence. This is further described in the accounting policy for unearned premiums.

b) Net Investment Income and Net Realized Investment Gains and Losses

Investment income is recognized when earned. Realized investment gains and losses are calculated on the basis of specific identification. The cost of investments for the determination of realized investment gains and losses is the amount paid when the security was originally purchased adjusted for amortization and accretion.

c) Other Income

Other income consists primarily of management fees for services provided by the Company for the management of insurance portfolios held by third party insurance companies. Such services include accounting, claims management, systems maintenance, portfolio analytics and management reporting. These fees are recorded as revenue when the related service is provided.

d) Fixed Maturity Investments

Investment securities have been designated as available-for-sale and are reported in the Balance Sheet at fair value. Values for securities are obtained from external pricing services. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale investments, net of deferred income taxes, are reflected as unrealized investment gains or losses in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Company regularly reviews investment securities for impairment in accordance with its impairment policy, which includes both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Quantitative criteria include length of time and amount that each security is in an unrealized loss position and whether the issuer is in compliance with terms and covenants of the security. Qualitative criteria include the financial strength and specific prospects for the issuer as well as the Company’s intent to hold the security until recovery. Securities that are considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired are recognized as a charge to realized investment gains (losses) in the period in which such determination is made.

e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Certificates of deposit, money market funds, and other time deposits with original maturities of less than three months are considered cash equivalents in the Balance Sheet and Statements of Cash Flows. Items with maturities greater than three months but less than one year at the time of acquisition are short-term investments and are included as part of fixed maturity securities. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, short-term investments amounted to $6 million and $16 million respectively.

f) Deferred Acquisition Costs (DAC)

Acquisition costs include costs, which vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of insurance. Acquisition costs include those costs incurred in the acquisition, underwriting and processing of new business including solicitation and printing costs, sales material and, some support costs such as underwriting and contract and policy issuance expenses. Such costs are deferred and amortized ratably over the terms of the underlying policies.

The Company follows SFAS 97, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments, guidance on the amortization of deferred acquisition costs. Amortization of these costs relating to each underwriting year is charged against revenue over time in accordance with the expected pattern of risk emergence.

The Company reviews all assumptions underlying DAC and tests DAC for recoverability annually. All the policies written by the Company are single premium. If the balance of unearned premium plus interest earnings, is less than the current estimate of future losses and expenses (including any unamortized DAC), a charge to income is recorded for additional DAC amortization. For the periods ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, no charges to income were recorded as a result of DAC recoverability testing.

g) Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually using a fair value approach, which requires the use of estimates and judgment at the reporting unit level. The Company’s single operating segment is also the reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing. An impairment charge is recognized for any amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its fair value. Discounted cash flows are used to establish fair values. For the periods ending December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, no charges were recorded as a result of goodwill impairment testing.

h) Intangible Assets

Present Value of Future Profits. In conjunction with the acquisition of Vero Lenders Mortgage Insurance Limited, $1.4 million was assigned to the right to receive future gross profits arising from existing insurance contracts. This intangible asset, called PVFP, represents the estimated present value of future cash flows from the acquired policies. PVFP is amortized in a manner similar to the amortization of DAC. PVFP is classified as other assets in the Balance Sheet.

The Company regularly reviews all of these assumptions and periodically tests PVFP for recoverability. If the unearned premiums plus interest income are less than the current estimate of future losses and expenses (including any unamortized PVFP), a charge to income is recorded for additional PVFP amortization. For the period ending December 31, 2006 no charges to income were recorded as a result of the PVFP recoverability testing.

Other Intangible Assets. The Company amortizes the costs of other intangibles over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually based on undiscounted cash flows, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment and written down to fair value as required. For the periods ending December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, no charges were recorded as a result of impairment testing.

i) Reinsurance

Premium revenue, benefits, and operating expenses are reported net of the amounts relating to reinsurance ceded to other companies. Amounts due from reinsurers for incurred and estimated future claims are reflected in the reinsurance recoverable asset. The cost of reinsurance is accounted for over the terms of the related treaties using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying reinsured policies.

j) Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses represents the amount needed to provide for the estimated ultimate cost of settling claims relating to insured events that have occurred on or before the end of the respective reporting period. The estimated liability includes requirements for future payments of (a) claims that have been reported to the Company, (b) claims related to insured events that have occurred but that have not been reported to the Company as of the date the liability is estimated, and (c) claim adjustment expenses. Claim adjustment expenses include costs incurred in the claim settlement process such as legal fees and costs to record, process, and adjust claims.

Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are based on notices of mortgage loan defaults and estimates of defaults that have been incurred but have not been reported by loan servicers, using assumptions of claim rates for loans in default and the average amount paid for loans that result in a claim. As is common accounting practice in the mortgage insurance industry and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, loss reserves are not established for future claims on insured loans that are not currently in default.

Management considers the liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses provided to be satisfactory to cover the losses that have occurred. Management monitors actual experience, and where circumstances warrant, will revise its assumptions. The methods of determining such estimates and establishing the reserves are reviewed annually and any adjustments are reflected in operations in the period in which they become known. As a result of the reviews conducted, there was an increase in the outstanding claims provision of $34 million and $4 million in 2006 and 2005 respectively. Future developments may result in losses and loss expenses greater or less than the liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses provided.

k) Unearned Premiums

For single premium insurance contracts, a portion of the revenue is recognized as premiums earned in the current period, while the remaining portion is deferred as unearned premiums and earned over time in accordance with the estimated expiration of risk. If single premium policies are canceled and the premium is non-refundable, then the remaining unearned premium related to each canceled policy is recognized as earned premiums upon notification of the cancellation. Estimation of risk expiration for the recognition of premium is inherently judgmental and is based on actuarial analysis of historical experience. The premium earnings recognition model is reviewed annually with any adjustments to the estimates reflected in current period earnings. As a result of the reviews conducted, there was an increase in earned premium of $60 million to earnings in 2006. There was no increase in 2005.

l) Income Taxes

For periods prior to the corporate reorganization, the predecessor companies were included in the consolidated Australian income tax return of GE Capital Finance Australasia Pty Ltd, an indirect subsidiary of GE, and subject to a tax-sharing arrangement that allocated tax on a separate company basis and provided benefit for current utilization of losses and credits. Intercompany balances under all agreements were settled at least annually.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004

l) Income Taxes (continued)

Effective May 21, 2004, Genworth Mortgage is included in a consolidated Australian income tax return of Genworth with its Australian parent company and, subject to a tax-sharing arrangement that allocates tax on a separate company basis and provides benefit for current utilization of losses and credits. Transactions between entities will be jointly and severally liable for the current income tax liabilities of the group where the head entity defaults, subject to the terms of a valid tax sharing agreement between the entities in the group. Assets and liabilities arising from the Company under the tax funding arrangement shall be recognized as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The deferred tax assets and/or liabilities are determined by multiplying the differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases for assets and liabilities by the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such differences are recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets are estimated based on the Company’s assessment of the realizability of such amounts.

m) Foreign Currency Translation

The local currency, the Australian dollar, is the functional currency for the Company. The determination of the functional currency is made based on the appropriate economic and management indicators. The financial statements have been translated into U.S dollars (the “reporting currency”) in accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the Balance Sheet date or historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S dollars at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments arising from this currency re-measurement are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in the Statements of Changes in Stockholder’s Equity.

Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, such as those resulting from the settlement of foreign receivables or payables, are included in the statement of earnings.

n) Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In September 2005, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 05-1, Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts. This statement provides guidance on accounting for deferred acquisition costs and other deferred balances on an internal replacement, defined broadly as a modification in product benefits, features, rights, or coverages that occurs by the exchange of an existing contract for a new contract, or by amendment, endorsement, or rider to an existing contract, or by the election of a benefit, feature, right, or coverage within an existing contract. SOP 05-1 is effective for internal replacements occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The insurance industry has identified several implementation issues during their evaluation of SOP 05-1. An expert panel has been formed by the AICPA to evaluate certain of these interpretive issues that insurance companies are facing in their implementation. The adoption of SOP 05-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In July 2006, FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes was issued. This guidance clarifies what criteria must be met prior to recognition of a financial statement benefit of a position taken in a tax return. Additionally, it applies to the recognition and measurement of income tax uncertainties resulting from a purchase business combination. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this interpretation to have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective prospectively with a limited form of retrospective application for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 will have on the consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This statement provides an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities, including insurance contracts, at fair value. SFAS No. 159 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company has not decided whether it will elect the fair value option for any financial assets or liabilities and therefore do not know the impact, if any, SFAS 159 will have on the consolidated financials.

For fixed maturities, an impairment charge is recognized in income in the period in which the Company determines that it does not expect either to collect principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the instruments or to recover based upon underlying collateral values, considering events such as a payment default, bankruptcy or disclosure of fraud. Impairment charges are measured as the difference between the book value of a security and its fair value. There were no impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

The Company generally intends to hold securities in unrealized loss positions until they recover. However, from time to time, the Company sells securities in the ordinary course of managing its portfolio to meet diversification, yield and liquidity requirements. The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during twelve months ended December 31, 2006 was $255 million, which was 99 % of book value.

The following table presents the gross unrealized losses and estimated fair values of investment securities, aggregated by investment type and length of time that individual investment securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, as of December 31, 2006:

The investment securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2006 consist of 122 securities with gross unrealized losses of $17.6 million. Of these unrealized losses 100% are investment grade (rated AAA through BBB-) and 100% are less than 20% below cost. The amount of the unrealized loss on these securities is primarily attributable to increases in interest rates during 2006.

As these investments are expected to continue to perform as to their original contractual terms and the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investment securities until the recovery of the fair value up to the cost of the investment, which may be maturity, it does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2006.

There were no additions or impairments to goodwill during the years ending December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. The movement in goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2006 arises from adjustments for foreign currency translation.

(6) Reinsurance

The Company has assumed mortgage insurance business from Westpac Banking Corporation. The contract provides reinsurance on the basis of a 30% quota share.

The Company is party to excess of loss contracts with Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation, an affiliate company. The contracts provide for the recoverability of losses in excess of an annually determined limit that is based on the Company’s net earned premiums.

The Company utilizes reinsurance as a risk management tool but recognizes that reinsurance contracts do not relieve it from its obligations to policyholders. In the event that the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations, the Company remains liable for the reinsured claims. The Company monitors both the financial condition of individual reinsurers and risk concentrations arising from similar geographic regions, activities and economic characteristics of reinsurers to lessen the risk of default by such reinsurers. Other than with Genworth Mortgage Insurance Corporation, the Company does not have significant concentrations of reinsurance with any one reinsurer that could have a material impact on its results of operations.

(7) Reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses (continued)

There were no reinsurance recoveries during the years ended 2006 and 2005. For 2006, the change in prior years incurred liabilities primarily relates to unfavorable development in claims incurred but not reported. This is due to the weakening of Australia’s property market experienced during the year together with higher interest rates. Management considers it appropriate to carry a higher provision for default as at December 2006 compared to December 2005.

(8) Unearned Premiums

Activity impacting unearned premiums for the years ended December 31:

Gross earned premium

     (309,020 )     (168,646 )     (126,213 )
                        

Unamortized balance as of December 31

   $ 687,466     $ 567,739     $ 474,131  
                        

The Company recognizes unearned premiums over a period of 9 years, most of which are recognized between 1 and 4 years from issue date. The recognition of earned premiums for the mortgage insurance business involves significant estimates and assumptions as to future loss development and policy cancellations. These assumptions are based on the historical experience and the expectations of future performance, which are highly dependent on assumptions as to long-term macroeconomic conditions including interest rates, home price changes and the rate of unemployment. The Company annually reviews the expected pattern of risk emergence and adjusts this estimate based on actual experience and changes in the expectation of future performance with any adjustments reflected in current period earnings. As a result of the reviews conducted in 2006, there was an increase in earned premium of $60 million. There was no increase in 2005.

(10) Income Taxes (continued)

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2006. Accordingly, no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been established. All but an insignificant amount of earnings before income taxes comes from domestic sources.

Under the tax consolidation system, current tax liabilities recognized for the period are assumed by the head entity in the tax consolidation group. The current tax liabilities of $36.7 million and $44.3 million for 2006 and 2005 respectively are recognized as an intercompany payable. The Company has also utilized tax losses from the head entity of $13.6 and $7.4 million for 2006 and 2005 respectively.

(14) Securitization Entities

Part of the Company’s product offering includes portfolio credit enhancement policies to Australian regulated lenders that have originated housing loans for securitization in the Australian, European and U.S. markets. Portfolio mortgage insurance serves as an important form of credit enhancement for the Australian securitization market and the Company’s portfolio credit enhancement coverage is generally purchased for low loan-to-value, seasoned loans written by regulated institutions.

As at December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had a maximum exposure to loss from the provision of portfolio credit enhancement to securitization trusts sponsored by third parties of $462 million and $303 million respectively. This exposure is calculated based on the expectation of a 1 in 250 year event. The company has applied the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority stress scenario to calculate this exposure. The Company holds sufficient capital resources to meet this obligation were it to occur.

(15) Statutory Accounting

Genworth Mortgage prepares financial statements for its regulator, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, (“APRA”), in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed by the regulator, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. GAAP. The main differences are as follows:

 

   

Premium is recognized on a cash receipts basis;

 

   

Unearned premium and deferred acquisition costs are not recognized;

 

   

A premium liability is recognized representing the unexpired risk portion of insurance policies written. The premium liability is valued as the present value of the expected future claim payments.

 

   

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves include a prudential margin and are discounted to present value.

The APRA net income after tax, capital base, minimum capital requirement and solvency ratio as of, and for the years ended are as follows:

 

(US dollar amounts in thousands)

   2006    2005

APRA net income after tax

   $ 178,953    $ 118,262
             

APRA capital base

   $ 1,015,265    $ 771,907

APRA minimum capital requirement

   $ 848,315    $ 325,258

APRA solvency ratio

     1.20      2.37

The above APRA net income after tax, capital base, minimum capital requirement and solvency ratio are the combined amounts of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Genworth Financial Mortgage Indemnity Ltd.

Under the prudential regulation framework in Australia, mortgage insurers are required to establish a catastrophic risk charge defined as a 1 in 250 year event. The Company is required to maintain adequate capital to fund this charge, in addition to normal insurance liabilities, by ensuring that its capital base exceeds its minimum capital requirement at all times.

(15) Statutory Accounting (continued)

The increase in the APRA minimum capital requirement in the above table from 2005 to 2006 and the corresponding impact on the APRA solvency ratio was driven principally by revised regulations and also the Company’s product mix. APRA revised the prudential supervision of lenders mortgage insurance (LMI) with effect from January 1, 2006. These revisions strengthened the LMI capital and reporting framework, resulting in increased minimum capital requirements for LMI providers. The 2005 capital base and minimum capital requirements included above have been determined under the previous requirements.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Holdings Pty Ltd is restricted to the extent the payment of dividends exceeds current year earnings. Any dividend above this level requires approval from APRA. In addition any dividend payment must result in the Company continuing to meet the APRA minimum capital requirement.
