Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note A — Basis of Financial Statements
     The unaudited financial information included in this report includes the accounts of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “FNF”) prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
     In the course of an internal review of its treatment of certain costs relating to insurance policies issued by its specialty insurance group, the Company determined that certain costs should be deferred and amortized over the life of the policy consistent with the recognition of the premiums. The Company recorded an adjustment as of March 31, 2007, increasing prepaid and other assets and reducing other operating costs by $12.2 million, representing amounts that should have been deferred as of March 31, 2007 on policies issued over the prior twelve months. This adjustment is reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and is not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for any previously reported annual periods.
     Certain other reclassifications have been made in the 2006 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to classifications used in 2007.
Description of Business
     Fidelity National Financial, Inc.FNF is a holding company that is a provider of title insurance, specialty insurance, and claims management services. FNFThe Company is one of the nation’s largest title insurance companies through its title insurance underwriters, with an approximately 29.0%27.7% national market share.share in 2006. FNF also provides flood insurance, personal lines insurance, and home warranty insurance through its specialty insurance subsidiaries and is a leading provider of outsourced claims management services to large corporate and public sector entities through its minority-owned subsidiary, Sedgwick CMS Holdings, Inc. (“Sedgwick”).
     Prior to October 24, 2006, the Company was known as Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (“FNT”) and was a majority-owned subsidiary of another publicly traded company, also called Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“Old FNF”). On October 24, 2006, Old FNF transferred certain assets to FNT in return for the issuance of 45,265,956 shares of FNT common stock to Old FNF (the “Asset Contribution”). Old FNF then distributed to its shareholders all of its shares of FNT common stock, making FNT a stand alone publicly traded company (the “Distribution”). Old FNF was then merged with and into another of its subsidiaries, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“FIS”), after which FNT’s name was changed to Fidelity National Financial, Inc. Under applicable accounting principles, following these transactions, Old FNF’s historical financial statements, with the exception of equity and earnings per share, became FNF’s historical financial statements, including the results of FIS through the date of the Company’s spin-off from Old FNF. The Company’s historical equity has been derived from FNT’s historical equity and the Company’s historical basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using FNT’s basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
     Acquisitions among entities under common control such as the Asset Contribution are not considered business combinations and are to be accounted for at historical cost in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 90-5, “Exchanges of Ownership Interests between Enterprises under Common Control.” Furthermore, the substance of the Asset Contribution and the 2006 Distribution and the Old FNF-FIS merger is effectively a reverse spin-off of FIS by Old FNF in accordance with EITF 02-11, “Accounting for Reverse Spinoffs.” Accordingly, the historical financial statements of Old FNF became those of FNF; however, the criteria to account for FIS as discontinued operations as prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”) were not met. This is primarily due to our continuing involvement with and significant influence over FIS subsequent to the merger of Old FNF and FIS through common board members, common senior management and

8


continuing business relationships. As a result, for periods prior to October 24, 2006, FIS continues to be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Transactions with Related Parties
     Beginning on October 24, 2006, the Company’s financial statements reflect transactions with FIS, which is a related party. Prior to October 24, 2006, these transactions were eliminated because FIS’ results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated results.

     An FIS subsidiary acts as the title agent in the issuance of title insurance policies by a title insurance underwriter owned by the Company and in connection with certain trustee sales guarantees, a form of title insurance issued as part of the foreclosure process. As a result, the Company’s title insurance subsidiaries pay commissions on title insurance policies sold through FIS. These FIS operations generated revenues for the Company of $36.6$40.7 million and $77.3 million for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31,June 30, 2007, for the Company,respectively, which the Company records as agency title premiums. The Company paid FIS commissions at the rate of 88%approximately 89% of premiums generated, equal to $32.2$36.1 million and $68.3 million for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31, 2007.June 30, 2007, respectively.
     Included in the Company’s expenses for the period presented are amounts paid to a subsidiary of FIS for the provision by FIS to the Company ofprovides information technology infrastructure support, data center management and related IT support services.services to the Company. The amounts included in the Company’s expenses include amounts paid to FIS for these services were $11.7of $14.1 million and $26.1 million for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31, 2007.June 30, 2007, respectively. In addition, the Company incurred software expenses relating to an agreement with a subsidiary of FIS that amounted to expenses of $12.4$12.9 million and $25.0 million for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31, 2007.June 30, 2007, respectively.
     Historically, the Company has provided corporate services to FIS. These corporate services include accounting, internal audit, treasury, payroll, human resources, tax, legal, purchasing, risk management, mergers and acquisitions and general management. For the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31,June 30, 2007, the Company’s expenses were reduced by $0.9$0.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, related to the provision of corporate services to FIS by the Company.
     CertainThe title plant assets of several of the Company’s title insurance subsidiaries are managed or maintained by a subsidiary of FIS. The underlying title plant information and software continues to be owned by each of the Company’s title insurance underwriters, but FIS manages and updates the information in return for either (i) a cash management fee or (ii) the right to sell that information to title insurers, including title insurance underwriters that the Company owns and other third party customers. In most cases, FIS is responsible for keeping the title plant assets current and fully functioning, for which the Company pays a fee to FIS based on the Company’s use of, or access to, the title plant. The Company’s payments to FIS under these arrangements were $6.7$5.2 million and $11.9 million for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31, 2007.June 30, 2007, respectively. In addition, each applicable title insurance underwriter in turn receives a royalty on sales of access to its title plant assets. The revenues from these title plant royalties were $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31, 2007.June 30, 2007,

9


respectively. The Company has also entered into agreements with FIS that permit

9


FIS and certain of its subsidiaries to access and use (but not resell) the starters databases and back plant databases of the Company’s title insurance subsidiaries. Starters databases are the Company’s databases of previously issued title policies and back plant databases contain historical records relating to title that are not regularly updated. Each of the Company’s applicable title insurance subsidiaries receives a fee for any access to or use of its starters and back plant databases by FIS. The Company also does business with additional entities of FIS that provide real estate information to the Company’s operations, for which the Company recorded expenses of $3.3$4.0 million and $7.3 million for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31,June 30, 2007, respectively. The Company announced the acquisition of the FIS subsidiary providing these services to subsequent to the end of the quarter. Please see note K for a detailed description of the sale agreement.
     The Company has announced the acquisition of Property Insight, LLC (“Property Insight”), the FIS subsidiary that manages, maintains and updates our title insurance plants, as well as managing potential title plant construction for us, for $95 million. The transaction was approved by an independent committee of each company’s board of directors and the sale is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2007. See note K.
     The Company also has certain license and cost sharing agreements with FIS. The Company recorded expense relating to these agreements of $2.3$4.6 million and $6.9 million for the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31, 2007.June 30, 2007, respectively.
     TheFor the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s expenses included expenses for a lease of office space and equipment to the Company from FIS for the Company’s corporate headquarters and business operations in the amountamounts of $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and were reduced by $1.4$2.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for leases of office space, furniture and equipment to FIS by the Company for the three month period ended March 31, 2007.Company.
     The Company believes the amounts earned by the Company or charged to the Company under each of the foregoing arrangements are fair and reasonable. Although the commission rate paid on the title insurance premiums written by the FIS title agencies was set without negotiation, the Company believes the commissions earned are consistent with the average rate that would be available to a third party title agent given the amount and the geographic distribution of the business produced and the low risk of loss profile of the business placed. In connection with the title plant management and maintenance services provided by FIS, the Company believes that the fees charged to the Company by FIS are at approximately the same rates that FIS and other similar vendors charge unaffiliated title insurers. The information technology infrastructure support and data center management services provided to the Company by FIS are priced within the range of prices that FIS offers to its unaffiliated third party customers for the same types of services. However, the amounts the Company earned or was charged under these arrangements were not negotiated at arm’s-length, and may not represent the terms that the Company might have obtained from an unrelated third party.
     Amounts due from/ (to) FNF and FIS were as follows:
    
 March 31,    
 2007 June 30, 2007
 (In millions) (In millions)
Note receivable from FIS $13.9  $13.0

     At March 31,June 30, 2007, the Company has a note receivable balance of $13.9$13.0 million due from a subsidiary of FIS. The Company earned interest revenue of $0.2 million and $0.4 million on this note for the three monthsand six month periods ended March 31, 2007.June 30, 2007, respectively.
     During the period, the Company paid amounts to a subsidiary of FIS for capitalized software development and for title plant construction. These amounts included capitalized software development costs of $1.6$2.2 million and $3.8 million during the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31, 2007.June 30, 2007, respectively. Amounts paid to FIS for capitalized title plant construction costs were $5.6$4.1 million and $9.7 million during the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31, 2007.June 30, 2007, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In FebruaryJune 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards BoardThe American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“FASB”AICPA”) issued Statement of FinancialPosition 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting StandardsGuide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” (“SFAS”SOP 07-1”). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting GuideInvestment Companies. For those entities that are investment companies under SOP 07-1, SOP 07-1 also addresses whether specialized industry accounting principles and disclosure requirements should be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor that has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investment company and applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in the entity. SOP 07-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s statements of financial position and operations.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 mandates certain financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements when a company elects to report assets and liabilities at fair value under SFAS 159. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of January 1, 2008 for calendar year entities. Management is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s statements of financial position and operations.
   In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Post Retirement Plans” (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires entities to recognize on their balance sheets the

10


funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Entities are required to recognize actuarial gains and losses, prior service cost, and any remaining transition amounts from the initial application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions,” and SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,” when recognizing a plan’s funded status, with the offset to accumulated other comprehensive income. SFAS 158 will not change the amounts recognized in the income statement as net periodic benefit cost. All of the requirements of SFAS 158 were effective as of December 31, 2006 for calendar-year public companies, except for a requirement for fiscal-year-end measurements of plan assets and benefit obligations with which the Company is already in compliance. The Company adopted SFAS 158 in 2006.
     In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires an evaluation to determine the likelihood that an uncertain tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will be sustained upon examination, the next step is to determine the amount to be recognized. FIN 48 prescribes recognition of the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement of an uncertain tax position. Such amounts are to be recognized as of the first financial reporting period during which the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is met. Similarly, an amount that has previously been recognized will be reversed as of the first financial reporting period during which the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is not met. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007 (see Note F).
Note B — Acquisitions
     The results of operations and financial position of the entities acquired during any year are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from and after the date of acquisition. The Company employs an outside third party valuation firm to value the identifiable intangible and tangible assets and liabilities of each of its acquisitions. Based on this valuation any differencedifferences between the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities and the purchase price paid is recorded as goodwill. There were no individually significant acquisitions during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007.
Ceridian Corporation
     On May 30, 2007, FNF and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”) announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement to jointly acquire Ceridian Corporation (“Ceridian”) for $36 in cash per share of common stock.

Specifically, Ceridian offers a range of human resources outsourcing solutions and is a payment processor and issuer of credit, debit, and stored-value cards. Ceridian shareholders will vote on the acquisition at the Ceridian annual stockholders meeting scheduled for September 12, 2007.
     FNF and an equity fund of THL are each committed under equity commitment letters delivered in connection with the definitive merger agreement to invest $900 million in connection with the purchase of Ceridian. FNF and THL have announced that they intend to bring co-investors into the transaction. As a result of any co-investment, FNF will own less than 50% of Ceridian and expects to account for this investment using the equity method of accounting for financial statement purposes.

11


     Generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. require that one of the two companies in the transaction be designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. FIS was designated as the accounting acquirer because immediately after the merger its shareholders held more than 50% of the common stock of the combined company. As a result, the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting. Under this accounting treatment, FIS was considered the acquiring entity and Certegy was considered the acquired entity for financial reporting purposes.
     The purchase price was based on the number of outstanding shares of common stock of Certegy on February 1, 2006, the date of consummation of the merger, valued at $33.38 per share (which was the average of the trading price of Certegy common stock two days before and two days after the announcement of the merger on September 15, 2005 of $37.13, less the $3.75 per share special dividend declared prior to closing). The purchase price also included the estimated fair value of Certegy’s stock options and restricted stock units outstanding at the transaction date.

     A substantial portion of the Company’s unrealized losses relate to debt securities. These unrealized losses were primarily caused by interest rate increases. Since the decline in fair value of these investments is primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, and the Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities, the Company does not consider these investments other-than-temporarily impaired.

Note J — Legal Proceedings
     In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to its operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Management believes that no actions, other than those listed below, depart from customary litigation incidental to the Company’s business. As background to the disclosure below, please note the following:
These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities, including but not limited to the underlying facts of each matter, novel legal issues, variations between jurisdictions in which matters are being litigated, differences in applicable laws and

15


  These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities, including but not limited to the underlying facts of each matter, novel legal issues, variations between jurisdictions in which matters are being litigated, differences in applicable laws and judicial interpretations, the length of time before many of these matters might be resolved by settlement or through litigation and, in some cases, the timing of their resolutions relative to other similar cases brought against other companies, the fact that many of these matters are putative class actions in which a class has not been certified and in which the purported class may not be clearly defined, the fact that many of these matters involve multi-state class actions in which the applicable law for the claims at issue is in dispute and therefore unclear, and the current challenging legal environment faced by large corporations and insurance companies.
 
  In these matters, plaintiffs seek a variety of remedies including equitable relief in the form of injunctive and other remedies and monetary relief in the form of compensatory damages. In most cases, the monetary damages sought include punitive or treble damages. Often, more specific information beyond the type of relief sought is not available because plaintiffs have not requested more specific relief in their court pleadings. In

17


general, the dollar amount of damages sought is not specified. In those cases where plaintiffs have made a specific statement with regard to monetary damages, they often specify damages just below a jurisdictional limit regardless of the facts of the case. This represents the maximum they can seek without risking removal from state court to federal court. In the Company’s experience, monetary demands in plaintiffs’ court pleadings bear little relation to the ultimate loss, if any, the Company may experience.
 
  For the reasons specified above, it is not possible to make meaningful estimates of the amount or range of loss that could result from these matters at this time. Management reviews these matters on an ongoing basis and follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, the Company bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome following all appeals.
 
  In the opinion of the Company’s management, while some of these matters may be material to the Company’s operating results for any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, none will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition.
     Several class actions are pending in Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington alleging improper premiums were charged for title insurance. The cases allege that the named defendant companies failed to provide notice of premium discounts to consumers refinancing their mortgages, and failed to give discounts in refinancing transactions in violation of the filed rates. The actions seek refunds of the premiums charged and punitive damages. The Alabama class actions were dismissed in the District Court. However, the plaintiffs announced their intention to appeal. A second action was filed recently in Florida. The Company intends to vigorously defend these actions.
     A class action in California alleges that the Company violated the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”) and state law by giving favorable discounts or rates to builders and developers for escrow fees and requiring purchasers to use Chicago Title Insurance Company (“CTIC”) for escrow services. The action seeks refunds of the premiums charged and additional damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action.
     A class action in Texas alleges that the Company overcharged for recording fees in Arizona, California, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas. The suit seeks to recover the recording fees for the class that was overcharged, interest and attorney’s fees. Similar suits are pending in Indiana, Kansas and Missouri. In one of the Kansas suits, the plaintiffs seek to certify a national class. The Company intends to vigorously defend these actions.
     A class action in New Mexico alleges the Company has engaged in anti-competitive price fixing in New Mexico. The suit seeks an injunction against price fixing and writs issued to the State regulators mandating the law be interpreted to provide a competitive market, compensatory damages, punitive damages, statutory damages, interest and attorney’s fees for the injured class. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action.
     Two class actions filed in Illinois allege the Company has paid attorneys to refer business to the Company by paying them for core title services in conjunction with orders when the attorneys, in fact, did not perform any core title services and the payments were to steer business to the Company. The suits seek compensatory damages, attorney’s fees and injunctive relief to terminate the practice. The Company intends to vigorously defend these actions.

     A class action in Connecticut alleges that the Company uses unauthorized agents in violation of state law. A similar suit has been filed in Massachusetts. The suit seekssuits seek compensatory damages, attorney’s fees and injunctive relief to terminate the practice. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action.these actions.
     A class action in California alleges that the Company participated in a fraudulent loan scheme with mortgage brokers. The suit seeks compensatory damages, and attorney’s fees. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action.
     Two class actions, one in Michigan and one in Ohio, allege the Company has violated RESPAthe Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”) by engaging in affiliated business arrangements in violation of RESPA. The suits seek to recover three times the title charges, interest and attorney’s fees. The District Court dismissed the Ohio action and the plaintiffs appealed. The Company intends to vigorously defend these actions.

18


     A class action in Washington alleges that the Company has violated state law by making prohibited payments for the referral of business increasing the cost of title insurance to consumers. Ticor Title Insurance Company and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company were added as defendants in this suit in March 2007. The suit seeks compensatory damages, and attorney’s fees. The Companies intend to vigorously defend this action.
     Canadian lawyers who have traditionally played a role in real property transactions in Canada allege that the Company’s practices in processing residential mortgages are the unauthorized practice of law. Their Law Societies have demanded an end to the practice, and have begun investigations into those practices. In several provinces, bills have been filed that ostensibly would affect the way the Company does business. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this inquiry or whether it will adversely affect the Company’s business or results of operations.
     In Missouri, a class action is pending alleging that certain acts performed by the Company in closing real estate transactions are the unlawful practice of law. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action.
None of the cases described above includes a statement as to the dollar amount of damages demanded. Instead, each of the cases includes a demand in an amount to be proved at trial. Two of thecases in Ohio cases state that the damages per class member are less than the jurisdictional limit for removal to federal court.
     The Company receives inquiries and requests for information from state insurance departments, attorneys general and other regulatory agencies from time to time about various matters relating to its business. Sometimes these take the form of civil investigative subpoenas. The Company attempts to cooperate with all such inquiries. From time to time, the Company is assessed fines for violations of regulations or other matters or enters into settlements with such authorities which require the Company to pay money or take other actions.
     OnAs previously disclosed, CTIC received a target letter on February 16, 2007 CTIC received a letter from the United States Attorney’s Officeoffice in the Southern District of Texas advising the companyCTIC that it iswas the target of a federal grand jury investigation in Houston, Texas concerning possible violations of law involving loans made by three banks in Texas. The United States Attorney’s office subsequently advised CTIC believes that the investigation relates to certain mortgage loan transactions that were closed between 1999 and 2001 by a branch office of CTIC located in the Houston Metropolitan area. As previously disclosed, in February 2005, without any admission of fault or liability, CTIC entered into an Order with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and certain other regulators including the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Texas Department of Insurance in connection with their investigations of matters relating to these loans. Under the Order, the Company agreed to, among other things, pay a civil money penalty, provide training to current and prospective employees, and audit branch offices at least every two years to ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations. In addition, without admitting any liability, CTIC concurrently entered into a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development with respect to any violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act in connection with these loans following HUD’s investigation of the matter. The U.S. Attorney’s Office now is investigating possible violations of the bank fraud lawsit will not be indicted in connection with the same loans.matters set forth in the target letter. CTIC is fully cooperating with the U.S. Attorney’s investigation. CTIC has launched an internal investigation, and has been reporting thereon to the U.S. Attorney’s office on a confidential basis. The internal investigation has revealed potentially criminal conduct involving former employees which CTIC has turned over to the U.S. Attorney. However, the Company believes it should not be indicted. In the event that CTIC were to be indicted, the consequences to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

     The National Association of Insurance Commissioners and various state insurance regulators have been investigating so called “captive reinsurance” agreements since 2004. The investigations have focused on arrangements in which title insurers would write title insurance generated by realtors, developers and lenders and cede a portion of the premiums to a reinsurance company affiliate of the entity that generated the business. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (the “HUD”) also has made formal or informal inquiries of the Company regarding these matters. The Company has been cooperating and intends to continue to cooperate with all ongoing investigations. The Company has discontinued all captive reinsurance arrangements. The total amount of premiums the Company ceded to reinsurers was approximately $10 million over the existence of these agreements. The Company has settled most of the accusations of wrongdoing that arose from these investigations by discontinuing the practice and paying fines. Some investigations are continuing. The Company anticipates they will be settled in a similar manner.
     Additionally, the Company has received inquiries from regulators about its business involvement with title insurance agencies affiliated with builders, realtors and other traditional sources of title insurance business, some of which the Company participated in forming as joint ventures with its subsidiaries. These inquiries have focused on whether the placement of title insurance with the Company through these affiliated agencies is proper or an improper form of referral payment. Like most other title insurers, the Company participates in these affiliated business arrangements in a number of states. The Company has settled the accusations of wrongdoing that arose from some of these investigations by discontinuing the practice and paying fines. Other investigations are continuing. The Company anticipates they will be settled in a similar manner.
     In 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries settled all allegations of wrongdoing arising from a wide-ranging review of the title insurance industry by the New York State Attorney General (the “NYAG”). Under the terms of the settlement, the Company paid a $2 million fine and was required to reduce premiums by 15% on owner’s policies under $1 million. Rate hearings will be conducted by the New York State Insurance Department (the “NYSID”) in 2007 where all rates will be considered industry-wide. The settlement clarifies practices considered wrongful under New York law by the NYAG and the NYSID, and the Company has agreed not to engage in those practices. The Company will take steps to assure that consumers are aware of the filed rates for premiums on title insurance products and that the products are correctly rated. The settlement also resolves all issues raised by the market conduct investigation of the Company and its subsidiaries by the NYSID except the issues of rating errors found by the NYSID. As part of the settlement, the Company and its subsidiaries denied any wrongdoing. Neither the fines nor the 15% rate reduction are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s earnings. The Company cooperated fully with the NYAG and NYSID inquiries into these matters and will continuecontinuing to cooperate with the NYSID.
     Further, in 2006, U.S. Representative Oxley, the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee (the “Committee”), asked the Government Accountability Office (the “GAO”) to investigate the title insurance industry. A congressional hearing was held regarding title insurance practices on April 27, 2006. The results of the GAO’s study were delivered in a report entitled “Title Insurance: Actions Needed to Improve Oversight of the Title Industry and Better Protect Consumers” (the “Report”) to Congressman Oxley’s successor on the GOP side (now Minority), Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL), the ranking member of the Committee on April 16, 2007. The GAO’s report, issued April 17, 2007, offered positive recommendations for the industry, the HUD and state regulators.United States Attorney’s office.
     In January 2007, the California Insurance Commissioner submitted to the California Office of Administrative Law (the “OAL”) proposed regulations (the “Proposed Regulations”) that would have significant effects on the title insurance industry in California. On February 21, 2007, the OAL disapproved the Proposed Regulations. On June 28, 2007, the California Department of Insurance (the “CDI”) submitted a modified version of the Proposed Regulations to the OAL. The only substantive change in this modified version of the Proposed Regulations was to delay the implementation dates by approximately one year. The OAL approved the modified version of the Proposed Regulations on July 26, 2007 (as approved, the “Regulations”) and filed them with the California Secretary of State. Notwithstanding the promulgation of the Regulations, the Company, as well as others, has been engaged in discussions with the CDI regarding possibly industry reforms that may result in the CDI’s decision to modify of repeal the Regulations prior to their implementation. In the event that the CDI does not modify or repeal the Regulations prior to their implementation, the Regulations are expected to have significant effects on the title insurance industry in California. Among other things, the Proposed Regulations would set “maximum” rates, effective as of October 1, 2009,2010, for title and escrow using industry data to be reported through the statistical plan described below and published by the California Department of Insurance (the “CDI”).CDI. In addition, the Proposed Regulations would establish an interim reduction of all title and escrow rates effective October 1, 20092010 if the CDI is unable to publish the data necessary for the calculation of the maximum rates by August 1, 2009.2010. These interim rate reductions are intended to roll rates back so that, in effect, premiums arewould be charged on the basis of real property values from the year 2000. Title insurers would be required to reduce their rates to a level below their 2000 rates, with the amount of the reduction determined by a formula adjusting for real estate appreciation and inflation. FNFThe Company is concerned that the reduced rates set by the Proposed Regulations will significantly reduce the title and escrow rates that are charged in California, while precluding title insurers from seeking relief from those reduced or maximum

rates. In addition, the Proposed Regulations contemplate the creationcreate of a detailed statistical plan requiring data to be collected byand require each title insurer, underwritten title company, and controlled escrow company to collect data at the individual transaction level beginning on January 1, 2008.2009, and to report such data to the CDI on an annual basis beginning April 30, 2010. Compliance with the data collection and reporting requirements of the Proposed Regulations if adopted, would necessitate a significant revision and augmentation of the Company’s existing data collection and accounting systems before January 1, 2008,2009, and would require a significant expenditure to comply with the April 30, 20092010

19


reporting deadline. The proposed required rate reductions and maximum rates would significantly reduce the title insurance rates that the Company’s subsidiaries can charge, and would likely have a significant negative impact on the Company’s California revenues. In addition, the increased cost of compliance with the statistical data collection and reporting requirements would negatively impact the Company’s cost of doing business in California. California is the largest source of revenue for the title insurance industry, including for the Company. On February 21, 2007,The Company continues to meet with the OAL disapprovedCDI to discuss possible modifications to the Proposed Regulations and requested certain clarifications fromalternatives that could result in the CDI. On February 22, 2007,repeal of the Regulations prior to their initial implementation. In addition, the Company is exploring litigation alternatives in the event that the CDI announced its intentiondoes not modify or repeal the Regulations, including a possible lawsuit challenging the CDI’s authority to move forward expeditiously to satisfy the OAL’s request in consultation with consumer groupspromulgate rate regulations and the title industry and resubmit the Proposed Regulations for approval. The Commissioner hosted a workshop on April 11, 2007, allowing the industry to document their concerns about the Proposed Regulations. A second workshop is scheduled for May 9, 2007; however, the Commissioner intends to issue a 15 day notice signaling their intent to resubmit the Proposed Regulations to the OAL in some revised format. The Commissioner must resubmit on or before June 22, 2007.statistical plan regulations related thereto.
     In addition, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (the “OIR”) has released three studies of the title insurance industry which purport to demonstrate that title insurance rates in Florida are too high and that the Florida title insurance industry is overwhelmingly dominated by five firms, which includes the Company. The studies recommend tying premium rates to loss ratios thereby making the rates a reflection of the actual risks born by the insurer. The OIR is presently developinghas noticed a rulehearing to establish and govern the annual collection of statistical data and has said thatbe held on August 23, 2007 at which it will use theseek information gathered to begin a full review of theon title insurance rates charged inoperations on Florida. The Company and one competitor have filed procedural challenges to the currently proposed rule. A hearing is scheduled for June 27, 2007.
     The Washington Insurance Commissioner has issued a report concluding that the title insurance industry has engaged in illegal referral fees. The Commissioner has appointed a panel to recommend title industry reforms. Additionally, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission has established a task force to investigate the title insurance business in New Mexico and make recommendations to improve consumer protection, education and awareness. Their findings and recommendations are expected to be presented by October 30, 2007.
     The CDI recently served the Fidelity National Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“FNPAC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with a cease and desist order alleging that it had knowingly issued immigration bonds in California without proper authority. FNPAC has proposed a stipulated settlement agreement providing for the dismissal of the order.
Note K — Subsequent Events
     On August 2, 2007, the Company announced the acquisition of an FIS subsidiary, Property Insight, LLC (“Property Insight”), from FIS for $95 million in cash. Property Insight is a leading provider of title plant services for the Company, as well as various national and regional underwriters. Property Insight primarily manages, maintains, and updates the title insurance plants that are owned by the Company. Additionally, Property Insight manages potential title plant construction activities for FNF. The sale is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2007, subject to certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
     Also on August 1, 2007, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire ATM Holdings, Inc. (“ATM”), a provider of nationwide mortgage vendor management services to the loan origination industry, for $100 million. ATM’s primary subsidiary is a licensed title insurance agency which provides centralized valuation and appraisal services, as well as title and closing services, to residential mortgage originators, banks and institutional mortgage lenders throughout the United States.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could vary materially from those forward-looking statements contained herein due to many factors, including, but not limited to: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; adverse changes in the level of real estate activity, which may be caused by, among other things, high or increasing interest rates, a limited supply of mortgage funding or a weak U. S. economy; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, or difficulties in integrating acquisitions; our dependence on operating subsidiaries as a source of cash flow; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries; and other risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of the Company’s Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     In the course of an internal review of our treatment of certain costs relating to insurance policies issued by our specialty insurance group, we determined that certain costs should be deferred and amortized over the life of the policy consistent with the recognition of the premiums. We recorded an adjustment as of March 31, 2007, increasing prepaid and other assets and reducing other operating costs by $12.2 million, representing amounts that should have been deferred as of March 31, 2007 on policies issued over the prior twelve months. This adjustment is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and is not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for any previously reported annual periods.

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Overview
     We are a holding company that is a provider, through our subsidiaries, of title insurance, specialty insurance, and claims management services. We are one of the nation’s largest title insurance companies through our title insurance underwriters, with an approximate 29.0%27.7% national market share.share in 2006. We also provide flood insurance, personal lines insurance, and home warranty insurance through our specialty insurance subsidiaries and are a leading provider of outsourced claims management services to large corporate and public sector entities through our minority-owned subsidiary, Sedgwick CMS (“Sedgwick”).
     Prior to October 24, 2006, we were known as Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (“FNT”) and we were a majority-owned public subsidiary of another company that was also called Fidelity National Financial (“Old FNF”). On October 24, 2006, Old FNF transferred certain assets to us in return for the issuance of 45,265,956 shares of our common stock (the “Asset Contribution”). Old FNF then distributed to its stockholders all of its shares of FNT common stock, making FNT a stand alone public company. Old FNF was then merged with and into another of its subsidiaries, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“FIS”), after which we changed our name to Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF” or the “Company”). Under applicable accounting principles, following these transactions, Old FNF’s historical financial statements, with the exception of equity and earnings per share, became our historical financial statements, including the results of FIS through the date of our spin-off from Old FNF. Our historical equity has been derived from FNT’s historical equity and our historical basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using FNT’s basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
     We currently have three reporting segments as follows:
  Fidelity National Title Group.This segment consists of the operations of our title insurance underwriters — Fidelity National Title, Chicago Title, Ticor Title, Security Union Title and Alamo Title — which together issued approximately 29.0%27.7% of all title insurance policies issued nationally during 2005.2006. This segment provides core title insurance and escrow and other title related services including collection and trust activities, trustee’s sales guarantees, recordings and reconveyances.

21


  Specialty Insurance.The specialty insurance segment consists of certain subsidiaries that issue flood, home warranty, homeowners, automobile and other personal lines insurance policies.
 
  Corporate and Other.The corporate and other segment consists of the operations of the parent holding company, certain other unallocated corporate overhead expenses, the operations of Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions (“FNRES”), a 61% owned subsidiary of ours that conducts a software business serving real estate brokers, other smaller operations, and our share in the operations of certain equity investments, including Sedgwick and Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions.Sedgwick.
     Prior to October 24, 2006, through FIS, Old FNF provided industry leading data processing, payment and risk management services to financial institutions and retailers.     Through October 23, 2006, our results also include the operations of FIS as a separate segment. This segment provided transaction processing services, consisting principally of technology solutions for banks and other financial institutions, credit and debit card services and check risk management and related services for retailers and others. This segment also provided lender processing services, consisting principally of technology solutions for mortgage lenders, selected mortgage origination services such as title agency and closing services, default management and mortgage information services. FIS’s credit and debit card services and check risk management services were added through its merger with Certegy, Inc. (“Certegy”). This merger closed in February 2006 and these businesses are not included in the financial information in this report for periods prior to February 1, 2006.
Recent Developments
     On May 30, 2007, FNF and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”) announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement to jointly acquire Ceridian Corporation (“Ceridian”) for $36 in cash per share of common stock. Ceridian is an information services company servicing the human resources, transportation, and retail industries. Specifically, Ceridian offers a range of human resources outsourcing solutions and is a payment processor and issuer of credit, debit, and stored-value cards. Ceridian shareholders will vote on the acquisition at the Ceridian annual stockholders meeting scheduled for September 12, 2007.
     FNF and THL have announced they intend to bring co-investors into the transaction. As a result of any co-investment, FNF will own less than 50% of Ceridian and expects to account for this investment using the equity method of accounting for financial statement purposes.
     On August 2, 2007, we announced the acquisition of an FIS subsidiary, Property Insight, LLC (“Property Insight”) from FIS for $95 million in cash. Property Insight is a leading provider of title plant services for us, as well as various national and regional underwriters. Property Insight primarily manages, maintains, and updates the title insurance plants that are owned by us. Additionally, Property Insight manages potential title plant construction activities for us. The sale is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2007, subject to certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
     Also on August 1, 2007, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire ATM Holdings, Inc. (“ATM”), a provider of nationwide mortgage vendor management services to the loan origination industry, for $100 million. ATM’s primary subsidiary is a licensed title insurance agency which provides centralized valuation and appraisal services, as well as title and closing services, to residential mortgage originators, banks and institutional mortgage lenders throughout the United States. Closing of the transaction is expected before the end of the third quarter of 2007, subject to customary closing conditions.
Transactions with Related Parties
     Beginning on October 24, 2006, our financial statements reflect transactions with FIS, which is a related party. Prior to October 24, 2006, these transactions were eliminated because FIS’ results of operations were included in our consolidated results. Please see Note A of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2022


Factors Affecting Comparability
     Beginning October 24, 2006, our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings no longer include the results of FIS. The operations of FIS continue to be included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for periods prior to October 24, 2006.

     Title insurance premiums decreased 10.6%13.9% to $960.7$1,046.4 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 as compared with the firstsecond quarter of 2006. The decrease was made up of a $50.3$76.9 million or 10.7%14.6% decrease in direct premiums and a $63.9$92.7 million or 10.5%13.4% decrease in premiums from agency operations. Title insurance premiums decreased 12.4% to $2,007.1 million in the first six months of 2007 as compared with the first six months of 2006. The decrease was made up of a $127.3 million or 12.8% decrease in direct premiums and a $156.6 million or 12.1% decrease in premiums from agency operations.
     Direct title premiums in the second quarter and first quartersix months of 2006 include $18.6$18.3 million and $36.9 million, respectively, in premiums generated by FIS. Because the operations of FIS are not included in our results for the periods subsequent to October 23, 2006, title premiums generated by FIS in the first quarter and first six months of 2007 are included in agency title premiums rather than direct title premiums. Excluding direct title premiums generated by FIS in 2006, direct title premiums decreased $31.7$58.7 million, or 7.0%11.6%, from $450.3and $90.4 million, or 9.4%, in the second quarter and first quartersix months of 20062007 compared to $418.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. This2006. The decreased level of direct title premiums is the result of a decrease in closed order volume partially offset by a slightan increase in fee per file. Excluding operations of FIS, closed order volumes decreased to 390,400408,700 in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 compared to 436,300473,800 in the second quarter of 2006 and to 799,100 in the first quartersix months of 2007 compared to 910,100 in the first six months of 2006, reflecting a declining purchase market and a relatively stable refinance market. The average fee per file in our direct operations, excluding the operations of FIS, was $1,557$1,627 and $1,429 in the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1,593 and $1,384 in the first quartersix months of 2007 compared to $1,532and 2006, respectively, reflecting a continued strength in the first quarter of 2006 (excluding operations of FIS), reflecting a strong commercial market partially offset byand, for the six month period, an increase in refinance activity and modest appreciation in residential home prices in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter ofsame period in 2006. The fee per file tends to change as the mix of refinance and purchase transactions changes, because purchase transactions generally involve the issuance of both a lender’s policy and an owner’s policy, resulting in higher fees, whereas refinance transactions typically only require a lender’s policy, resulting in lower fees. Mortgage interest rates in the first six months of 2007 were relatively consistent incompared with the first threesix months of 2007 and 2006.
     The decrease in agency premiums is the result of a decrease in accrued agency premiums that is consistent with the decrease in direct title premiums. An increaseA change in agency premiums has a much smaller effect on profitability than the same change in direct premiums would have because our margins as a percentage of gross premiums for agency business are significantly lower than the margins realized from our direct operations due to commissions paid to our agents and other costs related to the agency business.

     Trends in escrow and other title related fees are to some extent related to title insurance activity generated by our direct operations. At Fidelity National Title Group, escrow and other title related fees decreased 10.2% in the three-month and six-month periods, relatively consistent with the decrease in direct title premiums. Escrow fees, which are more directly related to our direct operations, decreased 13.1%,16.8% and 15.1% in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to 2006, generally consistent with the decrease in direct title insurance premiums and order counts, but were also impacted by an increase in the proportionate share of direct title premiums provided by commercial activity, for which escrow fees as a percentage of premiums are lower, and by reduced escrow rates in the western part of the country. During the first quarter ofthree and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, other title related fees increased 12.9%25.2% and 19.4% compared to the first quarter ofcorresponding 2006 periods primarily due to growth in operations not directly related to title insurance and some acquisitions made over the past couple of years.acquisitions.
     Interest and investment income levels are primarily a function of securities markets, interest rates and the amount of cash available for investment. Interest and investment income was $50.0$45.2 million and $51.4$48.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $95.2 million and $99.5 million in the first threesix months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     Net realized gains totaled $3.9 million and $5.6 million for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $10.3 million and $17.6 million for the first quarter totaled $6.4 million compared with net realized gainssix months of $11.9 million for the corresponding period of the prior year,2007 and 2006, respectively, each made up of a number of gains and losses on various transactions, none of which were individually significant.

     Our operating expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and other operating expenses, which in our title insurance business are incurred as orders are received and processed, and agent commissions, which are incurred as revenue is recognized. Title insurance premiums, escrow and other title related fees are generally recognized as income at the time the underlying transaction closes. As a result, direct title operations revenue lags approximately 45-60 days behind expenses and therefore gross margins may fluctuate. The changes in the market environment, mix of business between direct and agency operations and the contributions from our various business units have impacted margins and net earnings. We have implemented programs and have taken necessary actions to maintain expense levels consistent with revenue streams. However, a short time lag exists in reducing variable costs and certain fixed costs are incurred regardless of revenue levels.
     Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation and bonuses paid to employees, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. PersonnelExcluding personnel costs related to FIS of $409.9 million and $818.8 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, personnel costs totaled $435.3$452.8 million and $877.9$481.9 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $888.0 million and $951.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Excluding personnel expenses of $408.8 million related to FIS, personnel costs were $469.1 million in the first quarter of 2006.

The decreasedecreases in personnel costs isare due to a decreasedecreases at Fidelity National Title Group, partially offset by an increaseincreases in the corporate and other segment. The decreasedecreases at Fidelity National Title Group resulted from a decrease in the number of personnel which, for the six month periods, was partially offset by an increase in average annualized personnel costs per employee. The increase in the corporate and other segment is primarily the result of the acquisition of Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions. On a consolidated basis, total stock-based compensation costs were $7.5$8.2 million and $34.3$11.3 million or $6.4for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $15.7 million excludingand $45.6 million in the first six months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

     The provision for claim losses includes an estimate of anticipated title and title related claims, escrow losses and homeowner’s claims relating to our specialty insurance segment. The estimate of anticipated title and title related claims is accrued as a percentage of title premium revenue based on our historical loss experience and other relevant factors. We monitor our claims loss experience on a continual basis and adjust the provision for claim losses accordingly as new information becomes known, new loss patterns emerge, or as other contributing factors are considered and incorporated into the analysis of the reserve for claim losses. The claim loss provision for title insurance was $72.1$78.5 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 as compared to $80.7$91.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $150.5 million in the first quartersix months of 2007 as compared to $171.7 million in the first six months of 2006. Our claim loss provision as a percentage of total title premiums was 7.5% in bothfor the first quarters ofthree and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income taxes is attributable to our estimate of ultimate income tax liability, and changes in the characteristics of net earnings year to year. The decrease in rates from the 2006 periods to the 2007 periods relates primarily to a proportional increase in tax-exempt interest income.

Personnel costs have decreased in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 primarilycompared to 2006 due to a decrease in the number of personnel partially offset by an increaseand a decrease in average annualized personnel cost per employeeemployee. The decrease in personnel costs in the first six months of 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to increased salaries andthe decrease in the number of personnel.

As a result of holding customers’ assets in escrow, we have ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits. Those economic benefits decreased due to a decrease in escrow balances and an increase in the portion of those benefits derived from tax exempt income.

Flood revenues decreased $14.6 million, reflecting2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 due to higher 2006 revenues resulting from claims processing related to the active 2005 hurricane season. That decrease, along with smaller decreases in the home warranty and auto insurance lines of business, wasseason, partially offset by growth inthe second quarter volume increase. Revenues from the homeowners’ insurance line of business.business increased $2.6 million, or 8.5%, and $9.7 million, or 17.1%, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the corresponding 2006 periods due to growth as we expand this business across the country. Revenues from the home warranty line of business decreased $1.9 million, or 9.6%, and $3.8 million, or 9.4%, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively,

28


compared to the corresponding 2006 periods primarily due to a decrease in real estate transaction volumes. In addition, the auto insurance line of business experienced relatively small decreases in revenue in the 2007 periods compared to 2006.
     Personnel costs were $11.6$11.8 million and $11.3$11.1 million in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $23.4 million and $22.4 million in the first quarterssix months of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In the course of an internal review of our treatment of certain costs relating to insurance policies issued by our specialty insurance segment, we determined that certain costs should be deferred and amortized over the life of the policy consistent with the recognition of the premiums. We recorded an adjustment as of March 31, 2007, increasing prepaid and other assets and reducing other operating expenses by $12.2 million, representing amounts that should have been deferred as of March 31, 2007 on policies issued over the prior twelve months. This adjustment is not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for any previously reported annual periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Cash Requirements.Our cash requirements include operating expenses, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, business acquisitions, and dividends on our common stock. At present, we pay dividends of $66.5$66.3 million per quarter, or an aggregate of $265.9$265.1 million per year, based on 221,588,791220,910,633 shares

29


outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2007. We believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds, through cash dividends from subsidiaries, cash generated by investment securities and borrowings on existing credit facilities. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are monitored regularly to ensure that we can meet our cash requirements. We forecast the needs of all of our subsidiaries and periodically review their short-term and long-term projected sources and uses of funds, as well as the asset, liability, investment and cash flow assumptions underlying such forecasts.
     Our insurance subsidiaries generate cash from premiums earned and their respective investment portfolios and these funds are adequate to satisfy the payments of claims and other liabilities. Due to the magnitude of our investment portfolio in relation to our claims loss reserves, we do not specifically match durations of our investments to the cash outflows required to pay claims, but do manage outflows on a shorter time frame.

27


     Our two significant sources of internally generated funds are dividends and other payments from our subsidiaries. As a holding company, we receive cash from our subsidiaries in the form of dividends and as reimbursement for operating and other administrative expenses we incur. The reimbursements are paid within the guidelines of management agreements among us and our subsidiaries. Our insurance subsidiaries are restricted by state regulation in their ability to pay dividends and make distributions. Each state of domicile regulates the extent to which our title underwriters can pay dividends or make other distributions to us. As of December 31, 2006, $2.0 billion of our net assets were restricted from dividend payments without prior approval from the departments of insurance. During the remainder of 2007, our first tier title subsidiaries can pay or make distributions to us of approximately $234$200 million without prior regulatory approval. In addition, we are in the process of attempting to redomesticate Chicago Title Insurance Company (“CTIC”) from Missouri to Nebraska, allowing us to receive larger dividend payments from CTIC. We expect that this redomestication, if approved, will allow us access to additional dividends from CTIC of approximately $190 million during the remainder of 2007. The redomestication of other insurers is also being analyzed. Our underwritten title companies and non-title insurance subsidiaries collect revenue and pay operating expenses. However, they are not regulated to the same extent as our insurance subsidiaries.
     Capital Expenditures.Total capital expenditures were lower in the first quartersix months of 2007 compared to the first quartersix months of 2006 because the 2006 period includes capital expenditures made by FIS. Total capital expenditures for property and equipment were $28.9$50.6 million and $42.8$88.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total capital expenditures for software were $5.7$16.2 million and $50.8$97.7 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     Financing.Effective October 24, 2006, we entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, and the other financial institutions party thereto. The New Credit Agreement, which replaced our previous credit agreement, provides for an $800 million unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on the fifth anniversary of the closing date. We have the option to increase the size of the credit facility by an additional $300 million, subject to certain requirements. Amounts under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed by the borrower thereunder from time to time until the maturity of the revolving credit facility. Voluntary prepayment of the revolving credit facility under the New Credit Agreement is permitted at any time without fee upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. Revolving loans under the credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on either (i) the higher of (a) a rate per annum equal to one-half of one percent in excess of the Federal Reserve’s Federal Funds rate, or (b) Bank of America’s “prime rate” or (ii) a rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin of between 0.23%-0.675%, depending on our then current senior unsecured long-term debt rating from the rating agencies. In addition, we will pay a commitment fee between 0.07%-0.175% on the entire facility, also depending on our senior unsecured long-term debt rating.
     The New Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limits on the creation of liens, sales of assets, the incurrence of indebtedness, restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, and certain amendments. The New Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain financial ratios and levels of capitalization. The New Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable) and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, the interest rate on all outstanding obligations will be increased and payments of all outstanding loans may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the New Credit Agreement shall automatically become immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitments will automatically terminate.

     In connection with the 2005 distribution of our stock by Old FNF, we issued two $250 million intercompany notes payable to Old FNF (the “Mirror Notes”), with terms that mirrored Old FNF’s existing $250 million 7.30% public debentures due in August 2011 and $250 million 5.25% public debentures due in March 2013. Following issuance of the Mirror Notes, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4, pursuant to which we offered to exchange the outstanding Old FNF notes for notes we would issue having substantially the same terms and deliver the Old FNF notes received to Old FNF to reduce our debt under the Mirror Notes. On January 18, 2006 we completed these exchange offers with $241.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.30% notes due 2011 and the entire $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% notes due 2013 validly tendered and not withdrawn in the exchange offers. Following the completion of the exchange offers, we issued a new 7.30% Mirror Note due 2011 in the amount of $8.7 million, representing the principal amount of the portion of the original Mirror Notes that was not exchanged. On October 23, 2006, the remaining balance of these notes was redeemed in full.

28


     We lend fixed maturity and equity securities to financial institutions in short-term security lending transactions. Our security lending policy requires that the cash received as collateral be 102% or more of the fair value of the loaned securities. These short-term security lending arrangements increase investment income with minimal risk. At March 31,June 30, 2007, we had security loans outstanding with a fair value of $237.9$346.6 million included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and we held cash in the same amount as collateral for the loaned securities.
     In addition to the foregoing financing arrangements, our historical financial statements reflect debt and interest expense of Old FNF and its other subsidiaries, principally FIS.
     Seasonality.Historically, real estate transactions have produced seasonal revenue levels for title insurers. The first calendar quarter is typically the weakest quarter in terms of revenue due to the generally low volume of home sales during January and February. The third calendar quarter has been typically the strongest in terms of revenue primarily due to a higher volume of home sales in the summer months and the fourth calendar quarter is usually also strong due to commercial entities desiring to complete transactions by year-end. Significant changes in interest rates may alter these traditional seasonal patterns due to the effect the cost of financing has on the volume of real estate transactions.
     Contractual Obligations.Our long-term contractual obligations have not changed materially since December 31, 2006.2006, with the exception of the definitive merger agreement between THL and the Company to jointly acquire Ceridian. (See “Overview” above.) THL and the Company are each committed to invest $900 million in connection with the purchase of Ceridian. We and THL have announced our intentions to bring co-investors into the transaction. As a result of any co-investment, we will own less than 50% of Ceridian and expect to account for this investment using the equity method of accounting for financial statement purposes. We expect to fund this equity obligation through a combination of cash on hand and available credit through existing credit facilities.
     Capital Stock Transactions. On October 25, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a three-year stock repurchase program under which we can repurchase up to 25 million shares of our common stock. We may make purchases from time to time in the open market, in block purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions and other factors. We began purchasing shares under this program on a regular basis on April 30, 2007 and, through May 7,June 30, 2007, we have repurchased a total of 1,375,000 shares for $35.2 million, or an average of $25.54 per share. From July 1, 2007, through August 7, 2007, we repurchased 600,000 shares.shares for a total of $12.2 million, or an average of $20.42 per share.
     Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.We do not engage in off-balance sheet activities other than facility and equipment leasing arrangements. On June 29, 2004, Old FNF entered into an off-balance sheet financing arrangement (commonly referred to as a “synthetic lease”). The owner/lessor in this arrangement acquired land and various real property improvements associated with new construction of an office building in Jacksonville, Florida that is part of our corporate campus and headquarters. The lease expires on June 28, 2011, with renewal subject to consent of the lessor and the lenders. The lessor is a third-party limited liability company. The synthetic lease facility provides for amounts up to $75.0 million. As of March 31,June 30, 2007, the full $75.0 million had been drawn on the facility to finance land costs and related fees and expenses. The outstanding balance at June 30, 2007 was $70.1

31


million. The lease includes guarantees by us of up to 86.7% of the outstanding lease balance, and options to purchase the facilities at the outstanding lease balance. The guarantee becomes effective if we decline to purchase the facilities at the end of the lease and also decline to renew the lease. The lessor financed the acquisition of the facilities through funding provided by third-party financial institutions. We have no affiliation or relationship with the lessor or any of its employees, directors or affiliates, and our transactions with the lessor are limited to the operating lease agreement and the associated rent expense that is included in other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
     We do not believe the lessor is a variable interest entity, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). In addition, we have verified that even if the lessor was determined to be a variable interest entity, we would not be required to consolidate the lessor or the assets and liabilities associated with the assets leased to us. This is because the assets leased by us will not exceed 50% of the total fair value of the lessor’s assets excluding certain assets that should be excluded from such calculation under FIN 46R, nor did the lessor finance 95% or more of the leased balance with non-recourse debt, target equity or similar funding.
     In conducting our operations, we routinely hold customers’ assets in escrow, pending completion of real estate transactions. Certain of these amounts are maintained in segregated bank accounts and have not been included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a result of holding these customers’ assets in escrow, we have ongoing programs for realizing economic benefits during the year through favorable borrowing and vendor arrangements with various banks. There were no investments or loans outstanding as of March 31,June 30, 2007 related to these arrangements.

Critical Accounting PoliciesEstimates
     There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.2006, with the exception of the following update for our reserve for claim losses.
Reserve for Claim Losses.Title companies issue two types of policies since both the buyer and lender in real estate transactions want to know that their interest in the property is insured against certain title defects outlined in the policy. An owner’s policy insures the buyer against such defects for as long as he or she owns the property (as well as against warranty claims arising out of the sale of the property by such owner). A lender’s policy insures the priority of the lender’s security interest over the claims that other parties may have in the property. The maximum amount of liability under a title insurance policy is generally the face amount of the policy plus the cost of defending the insured’s title against an adverse claim. While most non-title forms of insurance, including property and casualty, provide for the assumption of risk of loss arising out of unforeseen future events, title insurance serves to protect the policyholder from risk of loss from events that predate the issuance of the policy.
     Unlike many other forms of insurance, title insurance requires only a one-time premium for continuous coverage until another policy is warranted due to changes in property circumstances arising from refinance, resale, additional liens, or other events. Unless we issue the subsequent policy, we receive no notice that our exposure under our policy has ended and as a result we are unable to track the actual terminations of our exposures.
     Our reserve for claim losses includes reserves for known claims (“PLR”) as well as for losses that have been incurred but not yet reported to us (“IBNR”), net of recoupments. We reserve for each known claim based on our review of the estimated amount of the claim and the costs required to settle the claim. Reserves for IBNR claims are estimates that are established at the time the premium revenue is recognized and are based upon historical experience and other factors, including industry trends, claim loss history, legal environment, geographic considerations, and the types of policies written. We also reserve for losses arising from escrow, closing and disbursement functions due to fraud or operational error.

32


     The table below summarizes our reserves for known claims and incurred but not reported claims related to title insurance.
                 
  As of      As of    
  June 30, 2007  %  December 31, 2006  % 
  (In thousands) 
PLR $208,455   17.9% $202,195   17.5%
IBNR  956,206   82.1%  952,677   82.5%
             
Total Reserve $1,164,661   100.0% $1,154,872   100.0%
             
     Although most claims against title insurance policies are reported relatively soon after the policy has been issued, claims may be reported many years later. By their nature, claims are often complex, vary greatly in dollar amounts and are affected by economic and market conditions and the legal environment existing at the time of settlement of the claims. Estimating future title loss payments is difficult because of the complex nature of title claims, the long periods of time over which claims are paid, significantly varying dollar amounts of individual claims and other factors.
     We continually update loss reserve estimates based upon the latest available premium and claim information at the end of each quarter and year. Management also considers quantitative and qualitative data provided by our legal, claims and underwriting departments to ultimately arrive at our best reserve estimate. All reserve methods include the application of significant judgment and assumptions. Management regularly looks for ways to improve the accuracy and reduce the uncertainty of the estimate. However, as new claim experience emerges, new information becomes available, or additional influences on claim experience are identified, the loss reserve estimate will change, perhaps significantly.
     Management forecasts ultimate losses for each policy year based upon examination of historical policy year loss emergence (development) and adjustment of the emergence patterns to reflect policy year differences in the effects of various influences on the timing, frequency and severity of claims. Management also uses a technique that relies on historical loss emergence and on a premium-based exposure measurement. The latter technique is particularly applicable to the most recent policy years, which have few reported claims relative to an expected ultimate claim volume.
     While there can be no assurance as to the accuracy of loss reserve estimates, development of prior years’ loss reserves over the past three years has generally been within a narrow range.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     For a description of our recent accounting pronouncements, please see Note A of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
     There have been no material changes in the market risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will timely alert them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports.
     There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
     In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. We believe that no actions, other than those listed below, depart from customary litigation incidental to our business. As background to the disclosure below, please note the following:
  These matters raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities, including but not limited to the underlying facts of each matter, novel legal issues, variations between jurisdictions in which matters are being litigated, differences in applicable laws and judicial interpretations, the length of time before many of these matters might be resolved by settlement or through litigation and, in some cases, the timing of their resolutions relative to other similar cases brought against other companies, the fact that many of these matters are putative class actions in which a class has not been certified and in which the purported class may not be clearly defined, the fact that many of these matters involve multi-state class actions in which the applicable law for the claims at issue is in dispute and therefore unclear, and the current challenging legal environment faced by large corporations and insurance companies.
 
  In these matters, plaintiffs seek a variety of remedies including equitable relief in the form of injunctive and other remedies and monetary relief in the form of compensatory damages. In most cases, the monetary damages sought include punitive or treble damages. Often more specific information beyond the type of relief sought is not available because plaintiffs have not requested more specific relief in their court pleadings. In general, the dollar amount of damages sought is not specified. In those cases where plaintiffs have made a specific statement with regard to monetary damages, they often specify damages just below a jurisdictional limit regardless of the facts of the case. This represents the maximum they can seek without risking removal from state court to federal court. In our experience, monetary demands in plaintiffs’ court pleadings bear little relation to the ultimate loss, if any, we may experience.

30


  For the reasons specified above, it is not possible to make meaningful estimates of the amount or range of loss that could result from these matters at this time. We review these matters on an ongoing basis and follow the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, we base our decision on our assessment of the ultimate outcome following all appeals.
 
  In the opinion of our management, while some of these matters may be material to our operating results for any particular period if an unfavorable outcome results, none will have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition.
     Certain significant legal proceedings and matters have been previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.2006 and in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2007. The following is an update of such proceedings:
     Several additional class actions have been filed and now are pending in Alabama (Hazelwood vMaryland (Arthur v. Ticor Title Insurance Companyof Florida filed March 6,July 2, 2007 in the U.S.United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama, Southern Division) and Kentucky (Tenhundfeld v Chicago Title Insurance Company,Maryland), Michigan (Tharia v. CTIC filed February 15,May 14, 2007 in the U.S.United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky,Michigan), and Texas, (McGee v. FNTIC filed June 18, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Northern Division at Covington)District of Texas (Dallas), alleging improper premiums were charged for title insurance. The cases, like those previously reported, allege that the named defendant companies failed to provide notice of premium discounts to consumers refinancing their mortgages, and failed to give discounts in refinancing transactions in violation of the filed rates. The actions seek refunds of the premiums charged and punitive damages. The Alabama class actions previously reported were dismissed by the District Court. However, the plaintiffs announced their intention to appeal. A second action was filed recently in Florida (Bleich v CTIC filed June 1, 2007 in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami Dade County, Florida). One of the New Hampshire actions has settled. (Terry v CTIC) We intend to vigorously defend all of these actions.

34


     A recently filed class action in Massachusetts (Katin v ServiceLink filed May 9, 2007 in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts) alleges that we use unauthorized agents in violation of state law. The suit seeks compensatory damages, attorney’s fees and injunctive relief to terminate the practice. We intend to vigorously defend this action.
     The District Court dismissed a class action in Ohio (Carter v. Chicago Title Insurance Company, filed on November 9, 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Western Division) alleging that we have violated RESPA by engaging in affiliated business arrangements in violation of RESPA. The plaintiffs appealed. The suit seeks to recover three times the title charges, interest and attorney’s fees. We intend to vigorously defend this action.
     A class action in Washington (Braunstein v. Chicago Title Insurance Company, filed on November 22, 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington at Seattle) alleges that we have violated state law by making prohibited payments for the referral of business increasing the cost of title insurance to consumers. Ticor Title Insurance Company and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company were added as defendants in this suit in March 2007. The suit seeks compensatory damages, and attorney’s fees. We intend to vigorously defend this action.
     None of the cases described above includes a statement as to the dollar amount of damages demanded. Instead, each of the cases includes a demand in an amount to be proved at trial. Two of thecases in Ohio cases state that the damages per class member are less than the jurisdictional limit for removal to federal court.
     We receive inquiries and requests for information from state insurance departments, attorneys general and other regulatory agencies from time to time about various matters relating to our business. Sometimes these take the form of civil investigative subpoenas. We attempt to cooperate with all such inquiries. From time to time, we are assessed fines for violations of regulations or other matters or enter into settlements with such authorities which require us to pay money or take other actions.
     OnAs previously disclosed, CTIC received a target letter on February 16, 2007 Chicago Title Insurance Company (“CTIC”) received a letter from the United States Attorney’s Officeoffice in the Southern District of Texas advising the companyCTIC that it iswas the target of a federal grand jury investigation in Houston, Texas concerning possible violations of law involving loans made by three banks in Texas. The United States Attorney’s office subsequently advised CTIC believes that the investigation relates to certain mortgage loan transactions that were closed between 1999 and 2001 by a branch office of CTIC located in the Houston Metropolitan area. As previously disclosed, in February 2005, without any admission of fault or liability, CTIC entered into an Order with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and certain other regulators including the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Texas Department of

31


Insurance in connection with their investigations of matters relating to these loans. Under the Order, we agreed to, among other things, pay a civil money penalty, provide training to current and prospective employees, and audit branch offices at least every two years to ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations. In addition, without admitting any liability, CTIC concurrently entered into a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development with respect to any violations of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act in connection with these loans following the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (the “HUD”) investigation of the matter. The U.S. Attorney’s Office now is investigating possible violations of the bank fraud lawsit will not be indicted in connection with the same loans.matters set forth in the target letter. CTIC is fully cooperating with the U.S. Attorney’s investigation. CTIC has launched an internal investigation, and has been reporting thereon to the U.S. Attorney’s office on a confidential basis. The internal investigation has revealed potentially criminal conduct involving former employees which CTIC has turned over to the U.S. Attorney. However, we believe CTIC should not be indicted. In the event that CTIC were to be indicted, the consequences to us could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     The National Association of Insurance Commissioners and various state insurance regulators have been investigating so called “captive reinsurance” agreements since 2004. The investigations have focused on arrangements in which title insurers would write title insurance generated by realtors, developers and lenders and cede a portion of the premiums to a reinsurance company affiliate of the entity that generated the business. The HUD also has made formal or informal inquiries of us regarding these matters. We have been cooperating and intend to continue to cooperate with all ongoing investigations. We have discontinued all captive reinsurance arrangements. The total amount of premiums we ceded to reinsurers was approximately $10 million over the existence of these agreements. We have settled most of the accusations of wrongdoing that arose from these investigations by discontinuing the practice and paying fines. Some investigations are continuing. We anticipate they will be settled in a similar manner.
     Additionally, we have received inquiries from regulators about our business involvement with title insurance agencies affiliated with builders, realtors and other traditional sources of title insurance business, some of which we participated in forming as joint ventures with our subsidiaries. These inquiries have focused on whether the placement of title insurance with us through these affiliated agencies is proper or an improper form of referral payment. Like most other title insurers, we participate in these affiliated business arrangements in a number of states. We have settled the accusations of wrongdoing that arose from some of these investigations by discontinuing the practice and paying fines. Other investigations are continuing. We anticipate they will be settled in a similar manner.
     In 2006, we and our subsidiaries settled all allegations of wrongdoing arising from a wide-ranging review of the title insurance industry by the New York State Attorney General (the “NYAG”). Under the terms of the settlement, we paid a $2 million fine and were required to reduce premiums by 15% on owner’s policies under $1 million. Rate hearings will be conducted by the New York State Insurance Department (the “NYSID”) in 2007, where all rates will be considered industry-wide. The settlement clarifies practices considered wrongful under New York law by the NYAG and the NYSID, and we have agreed not to engage in those practices. We will take steps to assure that consumers are aware of the filed rates for premiums on title insurance products and that the products are correctly rated. The settlement also resolves all issues raised by the market conduct investigation of us and our subsidiaries by the NYSID except the issues of rating errors found by the NYSID. As part of the settlement, we and our subsidiaries denied any wrongdoing. Neither the fines nor the 15% rate reduction are expected to have a material impact on our earnings.

     Further, in 2006, U.S. Representative Oxley, the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee (the “Committee”), asked the Government Accountability Office (the “GAO”) to investigate the title insurance industry. A congressional hearing was held regarding title insurance practices on April 27, 2006. The results of the GAO’s study were delivered in a report entitled “Title Insurance: Actions Needed to Improve Oversight of the Title Industry and Better Protect Consumers” (the “Report”) to Congressman Oxley’s successor on the GOP side (not Minority), Rep Spencer Bachus (R-AL), the ranking member of the Committee on April 16, 2007. The GAO’s report, issued April 17, 2007, offered positive recommendations for the industry, the HUD and state regulators.

     In January 2007, the California Insurance Commissioner submitted to the California Office of Administrative Law (the “OAL”) proposed regulations (the “Proposed Regulations”) that would have significant effects on the title insurance industry in California. On February 21, 2007, the OAL disapproved the Proposed Regulations. On June 28, 2007, the California Department of Insurance (the “CDI”) submitted a modified version of the Proposed Regulations to the OAL. The only substantive change in this modified version of the Proposed Regulations was to delay the implementation dates by approximately one year. The OAL approved the modified version of the Proposed Regulations on July 26, 2007 (as approved, the “Regulations”) and filed them with the California Secretary of State. Notwithstanding the promulgation of the Regulations, we, as well as others, have been engaged in discussions with the CDI regarding possible industry reforms that may result in the CDI’s decision to modify or repeal the Regulations prior to their implementation. In the event that the CDI does not modify or repeal the Regulations prior to their implementation, the Regulations are expected to have significant effects on the title insurance industry in California. Among other things, the Proposed Regulations would set “maximum” rates, effective as of October 1, 2009,2010, for title and escrow using industry data to be reported through the statistical plan described below and published by the California Department of Insurance (the “CDI”).CDI. In addition, the Proposed Regulations would establish an interim reduction of all title and escrow rates effective October 1, 20092010 if the CDI is unable to publish the data necessary for the calculation of the maximum rates by August 1, 2009.2010. These interim rate reductions are intended to roll rates back so that, in effect, premiums arewould be charged on the basis of real property values from the year 2000. Title insurers would be required to reduce their rates to a level below their 2000 rates, with the amount of the reduction determined by a formula adjusting for real estate appreciation and inflation. We are concerned that the reduced rates set by the Proposed Regulations will significantly reduce the title and escrow rates that are charged in California, while precluding title insurers from seeking relief from those reduced or maximum rates. In addition, the Proposed Regulations contemplate the creationcreate of a detailed statistical plan, requiring data to be collected byand require each title insurer, underwritten title company, and controlled escrow company to collect data at the individual transaction level beginning on January 1, 2008. 2009, and to report such data to the CDI on an annual basis beginning April 30, 2010.

Compliance with the data collection and reporting requirements of the Proposed Regulations if adopted, would necessitate a significant revision and augmentation of our existing data collection and accounting systems before January 1, 2008,2009, and would require a significant expenditure to comply with the April 30, 20092010 reporting deadline. The proposed required rate reductions and maximum rates would significantly reduce the title insurance rates that our subsidiaries can charge, and would likely have a significant negative impact on our California revenues. In addition, the increased cost of compliance with the statistical data collection and reporting requirements would negatively impact our cost of doing business in California. California is the largest source of revenue for the title insurance industry, including for us. On February 21, 2007,We continue to meet with the OAL disapprovedCDI to discuss possible modifications to the Proposed Regulations and requested certain clarifications fromalternatives that could result in the CDI. On February 22, 2007,repeal of the Regulations prior to their initial implementation. In addition, we are exploring litigation alternatives in the event that the CDI announced its intentiondoes not modify or repeal the Regulations, including a possible lawsuit challenging the CDI’s authority to move forward expeditiously to satisfy the OAL’s request in consultation with consumer groupspromulgate rate regulations and the title industry and resubmit thestatistical plan regulations for approval. The Commissioner hosted a workshop on April 11, 2007, allowing the industry to document their concerns about the Proposed Regulations. A second workshop is scheduled for May 9, 2007; however, the Commissioner intends to issue a 15 day notice signaling their intent to resubmit the Proposed Regulations to the OAL in some revised format. The Commissioner must resubmit on or before June 22, 2007.related thereto.
     In addition, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (the “OIR”) has released three studies of the title insurance industry which purport to demonstrate that title insurance rates in Florida are too high and that the Florida title insurance industry is overwhelmingly dominated by five firms, which includes us. The studies recommend tying premium rates to loss ratios thereby making the rates a reflection of the actual risks born by the insurer. The OIR is presently developinghas noticed a rulehearing to establish and govern the annual collection of statistical data and has said thatbe held on August 23, 2007 at which it will use theseek information gathered to begin a full review of theon title insurance rates chargedoperations in Florida. We and one of our competitors have filed procedural challenges to the currently proposed rule. A hearing is scheduled for June 27, 2007.
     The Washington Insurance Commissioner has issued a report concluding that the title insurance industry has engaged in illegal referral fees. The Commissioner has appointed a panel to recommend title industry reforms. Additionally, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission has established a task force to investigate the title insurance business in New Mexico and make recommendations to improve consumer protection, education and awareness. Their findings and recommendations are expected to be presented by October 30, 2007.
     The CDI recently served the Fidelity National Property & Casualty Insurance Company (“FNPAC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with a cease and desist order alleging that it had knowingly issued immigration bonds in California without proper authority. FNPAC has proposed a stipulated settlement agreement providing for the dismissal of the order.

Adverse development arising from a pending investigation could materiallyOur acquisition of Ceridian may adversely affect our ratings and results of operations.
On February 16,May 30, 2007, CTIC receivedwe and THL signed a letter fromdefinitive merger agreement to jointly acquire Ceridian for $36 in cash per share of common stock. We and an equity fund of THL are each committed under the United States Attorney’s Office in the Southern Districtterms of Texas advising the company that it is the target of a federal grand jury investigation in Houston, Texas concerning possible violations of law involving loans made by three banks in Texas. CTIC believes that the investigation relates to certain mortgage loan transactions that were closed between 1999 and 2001 by a branch office of CTIC located in the Houston Metropolitan area. As previously disclosed, in February 2005, without any admission of fault or liability, CTIC entered into an Order with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and certain other regulators including the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Texas Department of Insuranceequity commitment letters delivered in connection with their investigationsthe definitive merger agreement to invest $900 million in connection with the purchase of matters relatingCeridian. We are, however, seeking to these loans. Underreduce our investment to below 50%, which will allow us to account for Ceridian using the Order, the Company agreedequity method of accounting. If we were unsuccessful in reducing our investment and had to among other things, payconsolidate Ceridian’s balance sheet into our own, it would significantly increase our debt and have a civil money penalty, provide training to current and prospective employees, and audit branch offices at least every two years to ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations. In addition, without admitting any liability,material adverse effect on our ratings, which would in turn have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
