Form 10-Q/A
Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (Form 10-Q/A) amends our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, which was originally filed on August 9, 2011 (Original Form 10-Q). This amendment is being filed to include restated financial statements as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1. Financial Statements, financial data and related disclosures. The Company is restating its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 to reflect the Companys determination that it did not properly account for the elimination of intercompany activity between the Companys insurance subsidiaries and its consolidated financial guaranty variable interest entities. Included in this restatement is the correction of other immaterial errors which affected the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The total effect of this restatement was a decrease to equity of $36.1 million and $65.3 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, an increase to net income of $15.1 million and $30.3 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and a decrease to net income of $24.4 million and $12.9 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
As a result of the errors discussed above, management has now determined that the Company had a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2011. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. For a discussion of managements consideration of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures and the material weakness identified, see Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures of this Form 10-Q/A.
In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the complete text of the following items of the Original Form 10-Q as modified where necessary to reflect the restatement:
· Part I Item 1. Financial Statements;
· Part I Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
· Part I Item 4. Controls and Procedures; and
· Part II Item 6. Exhibits.
In accordance with rules of the SEC, this Form 10-Q/A also includes as exhibits certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer dated as of the date of this filing.
Except for the items noted above, no other information included in the Original Form 10-Q is being amended by this Form 10-Q/A. This Form 10-Q/A continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 10-Q and we have not updated the filing to reflect events occurring subsequently to the Original Form 10-Q date other than those associated with the restatement of the Companys financial statements and certain material events which are identified as to date. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Companys filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-Q, including any amendments to those filings.

Assured Guaranty Ltd.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2011
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
Business
Assured Guaranty Ltd. (AGL and, together with its subsidiaries, Assured Guaranty or the Company) is a Bermuda-based holding company that provides, through its operating subsidiaries, credit protection products to the United States (U.S.) and international public finance, infrastructure and structured finance markets. The Company has applied its credit underwriting judgment, risk management skills and capital markets experience to develop insurance, reinsurance and credit derivative products that protect holders of debt instruments and other monetary obligations from defaults in scheduled payments, including scheduled interest and principal payments. The securities insured by the Company include tax-exempt and taxable obligations issued by U.S. state or municipal governmental authorities, utility districts or facilities; notes or bonds issued to finance international infrastructure projects; and asset-backed securities issued by special purpose entities. The Company markets its credit protection products directly to issuers and underwriters of public finance, infrastructure and structured finance securities as well as to investors in such debt obligations. The Company guarantees debt obligations issued in many countries, although its principal focus is on the U.S., Europe and Australia.
Financial guaranty insurance contracts provide an unconditional and irrevocable guaranty that protects the holder of a financial obligation against non-payment of principal and interest when due. Financial guaranty contracts accounted for as credit derivatives are generally structured such that the circumstances giving rise to the Companys obligation to make loss payments are similar to those for financial guaranty insurance contracts and only occurs upon one or more defined credit events such as failure to pay or bankruptcy, in each case, as defined within the transaction documents, with respect to one or more third party referenced securities or loans. Financial guaranty contracts accounted for as credit derivatives are primarily comprised of credit default swaps (CDS). In general, the Company structures credit derivative transactions such that the circumstances giving rise to the Companys obligation to make loss payments are similar to those for financial guaranty insurance contracts but are governed by International Swaps and Derivative Association, Inc. (ISDA) documentation.
The Companys business has evolved as a result of the recent crisis in the financial markets. For example, the Company is focused primarily on insuring public finance obligations in the primary and secondary markets. It is selectively underwriting certain structured finance transactions, but has not underwritten a new U.S. residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS) since 2008 and will not do so until underwriting standards improve significantly. See Note 4 for the Companys outstanding U.S. RMBS exposures. In addition, the Company ceased selling credit protection through CDS in the beginning of 2009 following the issuance of regulatory guidelines that limited the terms under which such protection could be sold. The potential capital or margin requirements that may apply under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) also contributed to the decision of the Company not to sell new credit protection through CDS in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the Company had historically entered into ceded reinsurance contracts in order to obtain greater business diversification and reduce the net potential loss from large risks. However, given the lack of viable third party financial guaranty insurers and reinsurers, the Company has not entered into any new assumed or ceded reinsurance treaties since 2008, and has been reassuming previously ceded business from reinsurers whose ratings have declined to below-investment-grade (BIG) levels.
Public finance obligations insured by the Company consist primarily of general obligation bonds supported by the issuers taxing powers, tax-supported bonds and revenue bonds and other obligations of states, their political subdivisions and other municipal issuers supported by the issuers or obligors covenant to impose and collect fees and charges for public services or specific projects. Public finance obligations include obligations backed by the cash flow from leases or other revenues from projects serving substantial public purposes, including government office buildings, toll roads, health-care facilities and utilities. Structured finance obligations insured by the Company are generally backed by pools of assets such as residential or commercial mortgage loans, consumer or trade receivables, securities or other assets having an ascertainable cash flow or market value and issued by special purpose entities; the Company will also insure other specialized financial obligations.
When a rating agency rates a financial obligation guaranteed by one of AGLs insurance company subsidiaries, it generally awards that obligation the same rating it has assigned to the financial strength of the AGL subsidiary that provides

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

the guaranty. Investors in products insured by the Companys insurance company subsidiaries frequently rely on ratings published by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) because such ratings influence the trading value of securities and form the basis for many institutions investment guidelines as well as individuals bond purchase decisions. Therefore, the Company manages its business with the goal of achieving high financial strength ratings. However, the models used by NRSROs differ, presenting conflicting goals that may make it inefficient or impractical to reach the highest rating level. The models are not fully transparent, contain subjective data (such as assumptions about future market demand for the Companys products) and change frequently. Ratings reflect only the views of the respective NRSROs and are subject to continuous review and revision or withdrawal at any time.
On January 24, 2011, Standard &Poors Rating Services (S&P) released a publication entitled Request for Comment: Bond Insurance Criteria, in which it requested comments on proposed changes to its bond insurance ratings criteria. In the Request for Comment, S&P noted that it could lower its financial strength ratings on existing investment- grade bond insurers (which include the Companys insurance subsidiaries) by one or more rating categories if the proposed bond insurance ratings criteria are adopted, unless those bond insurers raise additional capital or reduce risk. The proposed ratings criteria contemplate the imposition of a leverage test that is based solely on the amount of par insured and does not take into account the bond insurers unearned premium reserve as a claims-paying resource; changes to S&Ps capital adequacy model, including significant increases in capital charges for both U.S. public finance obligations and structured finance obligations; and reductions in the single-risk limits for U.S. public finance obligations. This action by S&P has exacerbated uncertainty in the market over the Companys financial strength ratings and has a negative impact on the demand for the Companys insurance product. The Company has submitted comment letters to S&P discussing the modifications that it believes would be necessary to establish a supportable framework for determining the ratings of financial guaranty companies, and on April 21, 2011, S&P announced that it is in the process of analyzing the feedback received from market participants and revisiting its assumptions and analysis in light of the feedback. S&P also stated that it expects to publish the final criteria in the third quarter of 2011 and to publish updated ratings that reflect the application of the new criteria by September 30, 2011. If S&P were not to accept any of our comments and adopts the ratings criteria as proposed, the new criteria could have an adverse impact on the financial strength ratings of the Companys insurance subsidiaries if the Company were unable to reduce risk or raise capital on acceptable terms. Since S&P announced its proposed criteria, the Company has been pursuing strategies to improve its rating agency capital position. Such strategies include pursuing negotiated agreements with providers of representations and warranties in the insured U.S. RMBS portfolio, and agreeing to terminate credit default swap transactions and financial guaranties that carry high rating agency capital charges. See Notes 5, 7 and 12 for the potential impact of a rating downgrade on the insured portfolio. See Note 17 for subsequent events.
Unless otherwise noted, ratings on Assured Guarantys insured portfolio reflect internal ratings. The Companys ratings scale is similar to that used by the NRSROs; however, the ratings in these financial statements may not be the same as those assigned by any such rating agency. The super senior category, which is not generally used by rating agencies, is used by the Company in instances where Assured Guarantys AAA-rated exposure on its internal rating scale has additional credit enhancement due to either (1) the existence of another security rated AAA that is subordinated to Assured Guarantys exposure or (2) Assured Guarantys exposure benefiting from a different form of credit enhancement that would pay any claims first in the event that any of the exposures incurs a loss, and such credit enhancement, in managements opinion, causes Assured Guarantys attachment point to be materially above the AAA attachment point.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated financial guaranty variable interest entities (FG VIEs) for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements cover the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 (Second Quarter 2011), the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 (Second Quarter 2010), the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 (Six Months 2011) and the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 (Six Months 2010).
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AGL and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the Subsidiaries) and its consolidated FG VIEs. Intercompany accounts and transactions between and among AGL and its Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as well as transactions between the insurance company
Assured Guaranty Ltd.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
June 30, 2011
subsidiaries and the consolidated FG VIEs. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
AGLs principal insurance company subsidiaries are Assured Guaranty Corp. (AGC), domiciled in Maryland, Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (AGM), domiciled in New York, and Assured Guaranty Re Ltd. (AG Re), domiciled in Bermuda. In addition, the Company also has another U.S. and another Bermuda insurance company subsidiary that participates in a pooling agreement with AGM, two insurance subsidiaries organized in the United Kingdom, and a mortgage insurance company. The Companys organizational structure includes various holdings companies, two of whichAssured Guaranty US Holdings Inc. (AGUS) and Assured Guaranty Municipal Holdings Inc. (AGMH)have public debt outstanding. See Note 14.
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders equity and requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. Upon adoption, the Company will expand the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income to include the other comprehensive income items now presented in the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders Equity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, which corresponds to the Companys first quarter of fiscal 2012. Early adoption of the new guidance is permitted and full retrospective application is required when the new guidance is adopted. The Company has not yet adopted this guidance.
Change in Accounting Policy
Prior to January 1, 2011, the Company managed its business and reported financial information for two principal financial guaranty segments: direct and reinsurance. There has been no market for financial guaranty reinsurance in the past two years and one is not expected to develop in the foreseeable future. The Companys reinsurance subsidiary, AG Re, now only writes new treaties with affiliates that are eliminated in consolidation. As a result, the chief operating decision maker now manages the operations of the Company at a consolidated level and no longer uses underwriting gain (loss) by segment as an operating metric. Therefore, segment financial information is no longer disclosed.
2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
AGL, through its insurance subsidiaries, has provided financial guaranties with respect to debt obligations issued by special purpose entities, including FG VIEs. Assured Guaranty does not sponsor such FG VIEs nor does it act as the servicer or collateral manager for any FG VIE debt obligations that it insures. However, when Assured Guaranty provides such financial guaranties, it can obtain certain control rights through the transaction structure which make Assured Guaranty the primary beneficiary of the FG VIE. Assured Guaranty is required under GAAP to consolidate the FG VIE in its financial statements when it is the primary beneficiary. See Note 8. When such consolidation occurs, Assured Guaranty must eliminate the intercompany transactions between the relevant Assured Guaranty insurance subsidiary and the consolidated FG VIE. Assured Guaranty discovered errors in the elimination of such intercompany transactions, which resulted in the restatement of the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010.
In addition, the Company was required to correct certain unrelated, immaterial errors as part of the restatement which affected expected losses, the fair value of credit derivatives, and the classification of FG VIE assets and liabilities, which affected the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. While these immaterial errors were corrected at the time they were identified, these restated financial statements reflect the correction of such errors in period in which they arose.
