     “This quarter presented challenging operating environments for several of our businesses,” said Chairman of the Board William P. Foley, II. “Obviously, the mortgage and real estate markets have impacted volumes in our title insurance business and we have responded with significant staffing reductions, eliminating more than 1,700 positions, or 14% of our field staff, during the third quarter. While personnel costs in the title business have been reduced by more than $36 million versus the prior year quarter, many of those positions were eliminated very late in the third quarter, so we won’t see the full impact of those additional cost savings until the fourth quarter and into 2008. We also found it necessary to bolster our reserve for claim losses, as the higher claims activity the entire title industry has experienced continued in the third quarter. Our specialty insurance segment also had some operating challenges during the quarter. The personal lines business suffered through higher losses in the third quarter due to increased fire losses in California, particularly in July and August, while the home warranty business suffered from the significant slowdown in the real estate markets, particularly in the west. In summary, the third quarter was a difficult period as several of our companies, particularly the title business, faced tough market conditions. Despite the very difficult environment, our title business was able to generate a 7.1% pre-tax margin before the reserve charge. We manage all of our businesses with a goal to maximize profitability for our shareholders in all environments and will continue to do so in the fourth quarter and into 2008.”

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management.

The risks and uncertainties which forward-looking statements are subject to include, but are 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.
