30. Important Trends in 2007  Strong market volumes through June  Emerging credit issues in subprime Residential Mortgage Backed Securities evident in late 2006 began to accelerate  Extension of subprime weakness into Structured products (CDOs, SIVs, Asset Backed Commercial Paper) and Corporates (Financial Institutions and Monolines)  Significant deterioration in Structured Finance market volumes  High grade Corporate issuance strong due to bank funding / capital needs, reduction of commercial paper, flight to quality by investors

31. Strong Market Volumes Through June Source: Thomson Financial

32. Emerging Credit Issues in Subprime Residential Mortgage Backed Securities Evident in Late 2006 Begin to Accelerate  Rapidly growing subprime market in 2006 fueled by aggressive underwriting  High combined loan-to-value ratios / piggyback seconds  Higher number of loans with limited documentation  Deterioration fueled by declines in home prices, rising interest rates, and lenders failing  Losses will exceed the expectations inherent in our ratings, necessitating a total portfolio review and criteria / model changes  Re-rated all 2006 and 2007 vintage subprime deals  Over 250 transactions comprised of almost 4,000 tranches  We have affirmed 88% (in $ volume) or 66% of the rated tranches  A small portion of AAAs have been downgraded or put on Rating Watch Negative, mostly comprised of second-lien loans, some 2007 first liens

33. Extension of Subprime Weakness into Structured Products (CDOs, SIVs, and ABCP) and Corporates (Banks and Monolines)  Downgrades of subprime RMBS have reverberated through the market as that collateral was prevalent in recent vintage CDOs, SIVs, and other market funded vehicles  Credit concerns were exacerbated by the market disruption which created pricing dislocations  Fitch reviewed all rated Structured Finance CDOs  431 transactions with current outstandings of US$ 300 billion  150 have been placed on Rating Watch  Review to be concluded by mid-November, including projected downgrades of AAA tranches  Fitch reviewed all ratings in Market Value Conduits, SIVs, and Asset Backed Commercial Paper  A few downgrades, but we have a small presence in this market  Losses reported at commercial banks and investment banks have merited select downgrades and renewed scrutiny of risk-management processes and appetites  Fitch announced a review of the monoline insurance industry upon completion of the September 30 capital model

36. Volatility in ABS and CMBS Market Volumes US Securitized Asset Issuance US$ Billons Source: Inside Mortgage Finance

37. Resilient Demand for High Grade Corporates  Record year (over US$ one trillion) for US investment grade bonds, the “flight to simplicity”  Growing capital needs for financial institutions, stable economic environment, and contraction in commercial paper underlie the strong supply  Growing demand from new emerging economies  Continuing to invest in this business despite slowdown in structured finance  Noninvestment grade issuance hurt by decline in CLO activity

38. Key Issues for 2008  Balancing the short term business impact against longer term challenges and opportunities  Dichotomy between Structured and Corporates, US and the rest of the world  Ever increasing demand for quality due to the complexity of the capital markets and market volatility  Longer term opportunity to distinguish ourselves  Reputational and regulatory challenges to the industry  Market confidence in rating agencies has been shaken  Numerous regulatory bodies are interested in “fixing” the credit problems  Reacting without overreacting  Organizational changes  Introducing new products to fill market voids  Acquisitions to complement the business

39. Regulatory Issues  Credit Rating Agency Reform Act passed by US Congress in September 2006  Fitch was officially recognized as one of seven NRSROs under new guidelines in June of 2007  IOSCO (International Organization of Securities Commissioners) will release a report in late 2007 on compliance with their Code of Conduct Fundamentals, and in spring 2008 regarding issues specific to structured finance ratings  Recent market turmoil has led to increased attention from securities regulators globally, the European Commission, the US Congress, and Certain US States’ Attorneys-General  We remain open and constructive in the dialogue, eager to find solutions to help restore market confidence in ratings  Greater regulation seems inevitable

40. Conclusion  The entire organization has rallied around the urgency of the credit challenges, aiming to be timely and transparent with our research and ratings  Visibility into the months ahead is limited  We do expect that corporate ratings will continue on a growth trend  Less sure about the timing and extent of structured markets recovery
