Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Administrative Committee
Stewart Salary Deferral Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Stewart Salary Deferral Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule H, line 4i — schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2007 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the 2007 basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 2007 basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2007 basic financial statements taken as a whole.

STEWART SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006

(1) DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Stewart Salary Deferral Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan adopted effective January 1, 1986 and sponsored by Stewart Title Guaranty Company (“STG”). STG is a wholly owned subsidiary of Stewart Information Services Corporation (“SISCO”). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

The Plan is administered by STG (the “Plan Administrator”) and Wells Fargo Bank of Texas, N.A., the Plan’s trustee and record keeper (“Wells Fargo”). An administrative committee of executives (the “Administrative Committee”) has been appointed by the Board of Directors of STG to assist with the responsibility for overseeing the operation of the Plan, including the monitoring of Wells Fargo.

The summary of significant provisions of the Plan presented below provides general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

      (a) Employee Participation

The Plan is made available to eligible employees of STG and its affiliates (collectively the “Company”). All employees who have completed ninety days (90) of service and work a minimum number of hours, as defined by the Plan, are eligible to participate in the Plan.

     (b) Contributions

Plan participants may defer up to fifty percent (50%) of considered compensation into the Plan, subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”). Effective January 1, 2007, a participant may make deferrals on a pretax or after-tax basis, or a combination of both, which will be accounted for in separate accounts. Highly compensated participants may be required to reduce the amount of contributions made in order to permit the Plan to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(k) of the IRC. Effective January 1, 2007, participants may designate the extent to which such reductions are made from pretax or after-tax accounts, subject to certain limitations. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, excess contribution refunds were due to Plan participants in the amount of $97,479 and $548,264, respectively.

Participants who are age 50 or older before the close of the Plan year may elect to make a catch-up contribution, subject to certain limitations under the IRC.

The Company’s matching contribution is equal to fifty cents for each one dollar of considered compensation contributed (other than catch-up contributions) up to a maximum of six percent (6%) of each participant’s considered compensation (pretax and after-tax), subject to a maximum defined by the Plan. The Company may utilize available forfeitures to offset matching contributions to the Plan. The Plan recorded $6,382,569 for matching contributions, net of forfeitures, during 2007.

The Plan allows for a Company discretionary contribution as determined annually by STG’s Board of Directors. The discretionary contribution, if any, is determined quarterly and allocated equally to all eligible participants quarterly, in accordance with the Plan’s provisions.

STEWART SALARY AND DEFERRAL PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006

The Company may utilize available forfeitures to offset discretionary contributions to the Plan. The Plan recorded no discretionary contributions during 2007.

Effective January 1, 2007, employees are permitted to rollover pretax or after-tax amounts with earnings held in other qualified plans or conduit individual retirement accounts (IRAs) into the Plan, subject to the provisions in the Plan document.

     (c) Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the elected deferral amount, the Company’s employer matching contribution, a Company discretionary contribution, if any, and an allocation of Plan earnings. Net investment income (loss) is allocated to participants’ accounts daily based on the proportion that each participant’s account balance bears to the participant account balances in each investment fund.

     (d) Investment Options

Employees may elect to have their contributions allocated among various investment options offered by the Plan. As of December 31, 2007, the Plan offers fifteen mutual funds, one common collective trust fund, and the SISCO Stock Fund as investment options. Certain limitations apply under the Plan. During 2007, certain changes, such as the addition of investment options, default arrangements and revisions to share classes, were made.

The SISCO Stock Fund is invested primarily in SISCO common stock. The remaining portion of the fund is invested in the Wells Fargo Short Term Investment Fund G, a common collective trust fund, which is not available for investment allocation. Wells Fargo is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to SISCO common stock allocated to accounts of participants and beneficiaries in accordance with the Plan.

     (e) Vesting and Payment of Benefits

Participants in the Plan prior to January 1, 1989, are eligible to receive payment of the total account balance upon normal retirement at age sixty-five (65), death, disability or other termination of employment.

Participants in the Plan on or after January 1, 1989 are eligible to receive payment of the total account balance upon normal retirement at age sixty-five (65), death or disability. Upon other termination of employment, participants are eligible to receive payment of the total account balance if they have completed three (3) years of service. Participants who have completed less than three (3) years of service are eligible to receive payment of all employee contributions, but forfeit Company matching and discretionary contributions and related earnings on such contributions.

Forfeited amounts may be used to reduce future Company matching or discretionary contributions, to pay administrative expenses of the Plan, or to reinstate former participant balances. During 2007, available forfeitures in the amount of $559,478 were utilized to reduce Company matching contributions.

Distributions may be paid in a lump sum or in installments, subject to the provisions of the Plan, including taxation. Direct rollovers from the Plan to an IRA or other qualified plan are permitted for pretax and after-tax accounts, subject to certain limitations.

STEWART SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006

There were no amounts allocated to withdrawing participants for amounts that have been processed and approved for payment prior to December 31, 2007 and 2006, but not yet paid as of that date.

     (f) Participant Loans

A participant may borrow a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum amount equal to the lessor of $50,000 or fifty percent (50%) of the vested account balance, subject to the Plan’s provisions. The terms of the loan include interest at a commercially reasonable rate similar to the prime interest rate, as set quarterly by the Administrative Committee.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      (a) Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Benefits paid to participants are recorded when paid. Loan administration fees and redemption fees are paid from Plan assets. Plan expenses not paid from Plan assets are paid by the Company.

     (b) Investment Valuation and Income

Investments in mutual funds and common stock are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market price. Common collective trust funds are stated at the fair value of the underlying securities. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest is recorded as earned and dividend and capital gain income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Realized gains (losses) on investments sold during the year and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments held at year end are calculated using the historical cost method and are combined and presented as net appreciation (depreciation) of investments in the statement of changes in net assets available for Plan benefits.

     (c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

December 31, 2007 and 2006

     (d) Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the value of investment securities will occur in the near term.

(3) INVESTMENTS

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, all investments of the Plan were participant-directed. The following table presents the Plan investments which exceed 5% of the Plan’s net assets at year end:

		2007				2006

(4) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds and common collective trust funds managed by Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to Wells Fargo for loan administration services and redemption fees totaled $38,213 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Certain Plan investments are shares of SISCO common stock, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

These transactions are covered by an exemption from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the IRC.

(5) PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Plan Administrator has the right under the Plan to discontinue contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, the net assets would be allocated among the participants and beneficiaries of the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

(6) TAX STATUS

The Plan received its latest favorable determination letter dated July 24, 2002, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan Administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

(7) TRANSFER FROM THE PLAN

Employees of Stewart Title of Bozeman, LLC, an affiliate of STG, withdrew from participation in the Plan during 2007. Accordingly, the Administrative Committee gave consent for the direct trustee-to-trustee transfer of the effected participants’ account balances of approximately $59,500 in February 2007 from the Plan to a successor plan.

(8) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During 2008, the Plan was amended and restated in its entirety to update for prior amendments and conform to current regulations. On January, 17, 2008, the Plan filed for a new determination letter with the IRC, in connection with this 2008 amendment and restatement.
