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 and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Pty Ltd and subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their 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, 2007, 2006 and 2005

(1) Nature of Business and Formation of Genworth Mortgage

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.

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.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated 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 U.S. dollars. The accompanying financial statements include Genworth Financial Mortgage Indemnity Limited and are prepared on a consolidated basis. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

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 Investment Gains and Losses

Investment income is recognized when earned. Investment gains and losses are calculated on the basis of specific identification. The cost of investments for the determination of 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.

Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

d) Investment Securities

Investment securities have been designated as available-for-sale and are reported in the consolidated balance sheets 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 net 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 90 days or less are considered cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows. Items with maturities greater than 90 days 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, 2007 and 2006, short-term investments amounted to $71 million and $6 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 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 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 premiums plus interest, 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 years ended December 31, 2007, 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 years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, 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 in 2006, $1 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 consolidated balance sheets.

The Company regularly reviews all of these assumptions and periodically tests PVFP for recoverability. If the unearned premiums plus interest 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 years ended December 31, 2007 and 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 years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, no charges were recorded as a result of impairment testing.

i) Reinsurance

Premium revenue, benefits and acquisition and operating expenses are reported net of the amounts relating to reinsurance ceded to and assumed from 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, the Company begins to provide for the ultimate claim payment relating to a potential claim on a defaulted loan when the status of that loan first goes delinquent. Over time, as the status of the underlying delinquent loan moves toward foreclosure and the likelihood of the associated claim loss increases, the amount of the loss reserve associated with that potential claim may also increase. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company performed an annual update of Australian loss reserve factors which resulted in an increase in the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses of $34 million. The update in fourth quarter of 2007 did not result in a material increase in the reserve for losses.

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 continuously and any adjustments are reflected in operations in the period in which they become known. Future developments may result in losses and loss expenses greater or less than the liability for policy and contract claims 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 cancelled and the premium is non-refundable, then the remaining unearned premium related to each cancelled policy is recognized to 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 income. As a result of the reviews conducted, there was a decrease in earned premiums of $6 million and an increase of $60 million in earned premiums in 2007 and 2006, respectively. There was no adjustment recorded in 2005.

l) Income Taxes

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.

Effective May 21, 2004, Genworth Mortgage was included in a consolidated Australian income tax return 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. 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 under the tax funding arrangement are recognized as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.

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 as of 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 period. Translation adjustments arising from this currency re-measurement are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in the consolidated 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 consolidated statements of income.

n) Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This guidance clarifies the criteria that must be satisfied to recognize the financial statement benefit of a position taken in the Company’s tax returns. The criteria for recognition in the consolidated financial statements set forth in FIN No. 48 require an affirmative determination that it is more likely than not, based on a tax position’s technical merits, that the Company is entitled to the benefit of that position.

Upon adoption of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007, there were no unrecognized tax benefits, accrued interest or penalties.

Accounting by Insurance Enterprises for Deferred Acquisition Costs in Connection With Modifications or Exchanges of Insurance Contracts

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) 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 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. The adoption of this interpretation did not 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 for the Company on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. During December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, which amends SFAS No. 157 to allow an entity to delay the application of this statement until January 1, 2009 for certain non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company expects to elect the partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 under the provisions of the FSP for fair value measurements used in the impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and eligible non-financial assets and liabilities included within a business combination. The FASB also issued proposed FSP FAS 157-c in January 2008 that would amend SFAS No. 157 to clarify the principles on fair value measurement of liabilities. Management is monitoring the status of these proposed FSPs for any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This statement provides an option, on specified election dates, to report selected financial assets and liabilities, including insurance contracts, at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items will be reported in earnings in the current period. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as no items will be elected for measurement at fair value upon initial adoption. Subsequent to initial adoption, the Company will evaluate eligible financial assets and liabilities on their election dates. Any future elections made under this standard would be disclosed in accordance with the provisions outlined in the statement.

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. This statement establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures certain items in a business combination, as well as disclosures about the nature and financial effects of a business combination. SFAS No. 141R will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and will be applied to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the effective date. The Company does not expect SFAS No. 141R to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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.

Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

The Company generally intends to hold securities in unrealized loss positions until they recover. However, from time to time, our intent on an individual security may change, based upon market or other unforeseen developments. In such instances, the Company sells securities in the ordinary course of managing its portfolio to meet diversification, yield and liquidity requirements. If a loss is recognized from a sale subsequent to a balance sheet date due to these unexpected developments, the loss is recognized in the period in which the intent to hold the securities to recovery no longer exists. The aggregate fair value of securities sold at a loss during twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was $152 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, 2007:

The investment securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2007 consist of 159 securities with gross unrealized losses of $54 million. Of these unrealized losses, 100% are investment grade (rated AAA through BBB-) and are less than 20% below cost. The amount of the unrealized loss on these securities was primarily attributable to a generally high interest rate environment including the widening of credit spreads as investors sought higher compensation for the assumption of market risk during 2007.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company expects these investments to continue to perform in accordance with their original contractual terms and the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments securities until the recovery of the fair value up to the cost of the investment, which may be maturity. Accordingly, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2007. However, from time to time, the Company may sell securities in the ordinary course of managing its portfolio to meet diversification, credit quality, yield enhancement, asset-liability management and liquidity requirements.

(5) Goodwill

There were no additions or impairments to goodwill during the years ending December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. The movement in goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2007 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 is party to excess of loss contracts with Viking Insurance Company Limited, 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 and Viking Insurance Company Limited, the Company does not have significant concentrations of reinsurance with any one reinsurer that could have a material impact on its results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

There were no reinsurance recoveries during 2007, 2006 and 2005. The increase in incurred losses related to prior years was primarily attributable to less favorable loss trends experienced during the year. These trends were a result of an increase in the number and aging of delinquencies. This was due to the weakening of Australia’s property market experienced during the year together with higher interest rates.

The Company recognizes premiums over a period of nine years, most of which are recognized between one and four 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.

9) Employee Benefit Plans

It is compulsory for superannuation contributions to be made by the Company to a regulated and complying superannuation fund for all Australian employees. These superannuation funds are defined contribution plans. The minimum required contribution, based on an employee’s salary, which is paid by the Company, was 9% in 2007, 2006 and 2005. Employees may elect to pay additional contributions out of their salary. The Company has made superannuation payments on behalf of its employees of $2 million, $1 million and $1 million for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Net deferred income tax asset

   $ 16,194    $ 3,268
             

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 as of December 31, 2007. Accordingly, no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been established.

All but an insignificant amount of earnings before income taxes and related provision for income tax comes from domestic sources.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, and additional disclosures are included in the recently adopted accounting pronouncements in note 2n. As of January 1, 2007 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Accordingly, there would be no effective tax rate impact from recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months. The December 31, 2007 balance sheet includes no amounts for interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, and no such amounts were recognized as components of provision for income taxes.

The parent company files Australian income tax returns and is not currently under examination by the Australian Taxation Office. The Company is no longer subject to examination for tax years prior to 2003.

The Company made tax payments for the year directly to the Australian Tax Office as they became due. The Company utilized the tax benefits of the tax losses from its parent company under the tax consolidation system of $23 million and $15 million for 2007 and 2006, respectively, and recognized an intercompany liability of $71 million in respect of income tax while a member of the Genworth Australia tax consolidated group.

The Company recorded an amount for an allocated share of Genworth’s corporate overhead for certain services. They included allocations of costs for public relations, investor relations and internal audit services in the amount of $15 million, $12 million and $7 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Some costs have not been specifically billed to the Company and have been treated as a contribution of capital, where the debt was not settled. This contribution of capital amounted to $10 million and $12 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively. There was no contribution of capital in 2005.

The Company also recorded expenses associated with Genworth stock options and restricted stock unit grants in the amount of $1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

The Company was included in a consolidated Australian income tax return of Genworth Mortgage and was subject to a tax-sharing arrangement that allocates tax on a separate company basis and provided benefit for current utilization of losses and credits. See note 10 for additional disclosures.

On September 26, 2007, the Company entered into a loan agreement in the amount of $41 million with its parent company, Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Holdings Pty Ltd.

The interest on the loan accrued for the year ended December 31, 2007 amounted to $1 million. The note matures on September 26, 2012.

Net cash paid for taxes was $60 million, $44 million and $27 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Corporate overhead allocations of $10 million and $12 million, which were not settled, have been treated as capital contributions in 2007 and 2006, respectively. For further discussion, refer to note 11.

(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 of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had a maximum exposure to loss from the provision of portfolio credit enhancement to securitization trusts sponsored by third parties of $527 million and $462 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 (“APRA”) 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, 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 were as follows:

 

   

Premium is recognized on a cash receipts basis;

 

   

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 Company’s APRA net income after tax, capital base, minimum capital requirement and solvency ratio as of and for the years ended were as follows:

 

(U.S. dollar amounts in thousands)

   2007    2006

APRA net income after tax

   $ 149,527    $ 178,953
             

APRA capital base

   $ 1,326,600    $ 1,015,265

APRA minimum capital requirement

   $ 1,002,665    $ 848,315

APRA solvency ratio

     1.32      1.20

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.

The APRA solvency ratio as of December 31, 2006 was reported as 1.20. APRA revised the prudential supervision of LMI with effect from January 1, 2006. These revisions strengthened the LMI capital and reporting framework and resulted in increased minimum capital requirements for LMI providers. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company recalculated its APRA solvency ratio to include the effect of financed premiums and under that recalculation the APRA solvency ratio as of December 31, 2006 was 1.07. On March 30, 2007, the Company received a capital contribution of $234 million from its parent company, Genworth Financial Mortgage Insurance Holdings Pty Ltd, as part of its regulatory capital management plan. This increased the APRA solvency ratio to 1.30 as of March 31, 2007.

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 income. Any dividend above this level requires prior approval from APRA. In addition any dividend payment must result in the Company continuing to meet the APRA minimum capital requirement.
