Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Participants and the Administrative Committee
Fidelity National Financial Group 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of Fidelity National Financial Group 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2010 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 2010 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, 2010 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the 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. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

FIDELITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL GROUP
401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2010 and 2009

(1) Description of the Plan

The following description of the Fidelity National Financial Group 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

(a) General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (FNF or the Company) and its Affiliated and Related Companies, who have attained age 18, have completed 90 days of service, and have elected to participate in the Plan. Affiliated Companies are defined as members of a controlled group of corporations or other entities that are under common control. Related Companies, while related, are not considered members of a controlled group of corporations or other entities that are under common control. Temporary employees who have not completed at least 1,000 hours of service are not eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

The Plan and its related trust are intended to qualify as a profit-sharing plan and trust under section 401(a) and 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), with a cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of section 401(k) of the IRC. In addition, the Plan is intended to qualify as a stock bonus plan that satisfies the requirements of an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of section 4975(e)(7) of the IRC. That portion of the Plan is designed to invest primarily in shares of FNF common stock.

(b) Administration

During 2010 and 2009, the trustee of the Plan was Wells Fargo Bank, NA (Wells Fargo). Wells Fargo also performs participant recordkeeping and other administrative duties for the Plan. The Administrative Committee of the FNF Board of Directors oversees the Plan's operations.

(c) Plan Mergers

Following approval by the board of directors of the Company, the Capital Abstract and Title Company 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Capital Abstract and Title Plan) was merged into the Plan effective November 3, 2009. The accompanying statements of changes in net assets available for benefits reflect cash transfers in of $1,241,555 from the Capital Abstract and Title Plan in 2009. Participant loans totaling $144,172 and $3,906,262 were transferred to the Plan in 2010 and 2009, respectively. There were no mergers into the Plan during 2010.

(d) Contributions

During 2010 and 2009, participants could generally contribute up to 40% of their pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution retirement plans, as well as direct rollovers from individual retirement accounts or annuities. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan offered four common /collective trust funds, one corporate bond fund, and eight mutual funds, and one common stock fund which invests solely in Company stock as investment options for participants. During 2010 and 2009, there were no matching contributions made by the Company. At the option of the Company's board of directors, matching contributions may be resumed in the future and discretionary contributions may also be made by the Company. No discretionary contributions were made by the Company during the Plan years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. All Company contributions are participant directed. Contributions are subject to certain limitations established by the Internal Revenue Service.

(e) Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, the Company's contribution as applicable, and an allocation of Plan earnings and charged with an allocation of Plan losses, if any.

Table of Contents



Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

(f) Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching and discretionary contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon, is based on years of service as follows:
Number of years of service
 
Vested Percentage
Less than 1 year
 
%
1 year
 
34
%
2 years
 
67
%
3 years or more
 
100
%

From 2007 to 2009, in response to the declining title insurance market, the Company reduced its number of employees. As a result, it was determined in 2009 that the Plan had experienced a partial termination under Treasury Regulations Section 1.411(d)(2), and all employees who were terminated involuntarily as a result of job elimination or reduction in force beginning January 1, 2007, became 100% vested in their Plan accounts regardless of their years of service. For such participants who were terminated during 2009, $22,697 in employer match amounts and the earnings thereon were restored to their accounts and immediately vested.

(g) Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12 months, or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to ten years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account. Interest rates range from 4.25% to 10.50% on loans outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions.

(h) Payment of Benefits

Upon retirement, termination of service, disability, or the attainment of age 59 1/2, a participant may receive all or part of the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution. Upon death of a participant, the balance of the participant's vested interest in his or her account will be distributed in a lump sum to the participant's beneficiary. Certain other withdrawals are allowed by the Plan under very limited circumstances as described in the Plan document.

(i) Forfeited Accounts

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $274,041 and $274,715, respectively. Forfeitures may be allocated to current participants' accounts, or may be used to restore the accounts of former participants, pay administrative expenses of the Plan if not paid by the Plan sponsor, or reduce future Company contributions. During 2010 and 2009, forfeitures of $158,324 and $555,508, respectively, were allocated to participants' accounts.

(j) Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses of the Plan that are not paid by the plan sponsor are paid by the Plan.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain 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. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2009 financial statements of the Plan to conform to the classifications used in 2010.

Table of Contents


(b) Risk and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options in common/collective trust funds, corporate bond funds, mutual funds, and common stock. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit. Due to the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the various risk factors, in the near term, could materially affect the participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.

(c) Concentration of Investments

Previously, the Plan covered all eligible employees of another company also called Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (Old FNF). The Company and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS) were each majority-owned subsidiaries of Old FNF and each company's eligible employees were covered under the Plan. In 2006, Old FNF distributed its ownership interest in the Company to its shareholders and merged with FIS. This resulted in a distribution of FIS common stock to Plan participants who held shares of Old FNF and the transfer of account balances relating to employees of FIS to Fidelity National Information Services 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. In 2009, FIS completed the spin-off of Lender Processing Services, Inc. (LPS) by distributing all of its shares of LPS to FIS shareholders through a stock dividend. As a result, Plan participants who held FIS shares at the time of the spin-off received shares of LPS. After 2009 the Plan no longer allowed participant accounts to hold shares of FIS and LPS. Accordingly, at the end of 2009, any such investments held in participant accounts were sold and the proceeds were invested in the Oakmark Equity and Income Fund, which may then be directed by the participant.

Included in the Plan's net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2010 are investments in the Company's common stock (5,388,509 shares) amounting to $73,714,800, or approximately 8.1% of net assets.

Included in the Plan's net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2009 are investments in the Company's common stock (5,714,578 shares) amounting to $76,899,609, or approximately 9.1% of net assets, in FIS common stock (919,037 shares) amounting to $20,432,854, or approximately 2.4% of net assets, and in LPS common stock (453,535 shares) amounting to $17,351,165, or approximately 2.0% of net assets.

(d) Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of mutual funds and the corporate bond fund are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The common/collective trust fund investments are valued based on the net asset value as determined by using estimated fair value of the underlying assets held in the fund. Net asset value is used as a practical expedient for fair value. Contract value of fully benefit-responsive contracts is equal to principal balance plus accrued interest. The common stock of FNF is valued at quoted market prices. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

One of the investment options offered by the Plan, the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund N4 (the Stable Return Fund), is a common collective trust that is fully invested in Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund G, which is fully invested in contracts deemed to be fully benefit-responsive. As a result, the Plan reports its investment in the Stable Return Fund at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measure to the Plan because it is the amount that is available for Plan benefits. Accordingly, in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits, the Stable Return Fund, along with the Plan's other investments, is stated at fair value with a corresponding adjustment to reflect the investment in the Stable Return Fund at contract value. The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits are prepared on a contract value basis. Certain events limit the ability of the FNF Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include the following: (1) the FNF Plan's failure to qualify under Section 401(a) or Section 401(k) of the IRC, (2) the establishment of a defined contribution plan that competes with FNF Plan for employee contributions, (3) any substantive modification of the Stable Return Fund or the administration of the Stable Return Fund that is not consented to by the issuer, (4) any change in law, regulation or administrative ruling applicable to the FNF Plan that could have a material adverse effect on the Stable Return Fund's cash flow, (5) any communication given to participants by the Committee or Wells Fargo that is designed to induce or influence participants to avoid investing in the Stable Return Fund or to transfer assets out of the Stable Return Fund, and (6) any transfer of assets from the Stable Return Fund directly to a competing investment option. The occurrence of any of these events which would limit the FNF Plan's ability to transact at contract value with participants is not probable.

(g) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 added new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and clarified existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The portion of ASU 2010-06 related to these items was effective for the Plan in 2010 and its adoption did not have a significant impact on the financial statements. In addition, ASU 2010-06 added requirements for separate disclosures about the activity relating to Level 3 fair value measurements effective for the Plan on January 1, 2011. See Note 3 for the required disclosures.

In September 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-25, “Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans” (ASU 2010-25). ASU 2010-25 requires that participant loans be classified as notes receivable and measured at unpaid principal balance plus accrued but unpaid interest. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2010-25, loans to participants were reported as investments at fair value. ASU 2010-25 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010 with retrospective application. The Plan adopted ASU 2010-25 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Participant loans have been reclassified to notes receivable from participants as of December 31, 2009 in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Interest income from participant loans has been reclassified to interest income on notes receivable from participants as of December 31, 2009 on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. There was no impact on total net assets available for benefits or total changes in net assets available for benefits.

(3) Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy established by the standard on fair value measurements includes three levels which are based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. In accordance with the standard on fair value, the Plan's financial assets and liabilities that are recorded on the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

Level 2. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on model inputs that are unobservable.

The Plan's level 1 and level 2 fair value measures are provided by a third-party pricing service, which management believes to be reasonable. This pricing service is a leading global provider of financial market data, analytics and related services to financial institutions. See footnote 2(d) for a description of the fair value measures used for each type of investment.

The estimated fair value of the collective trust funds is net asset value, exclusive of the adjustment to contract value. The collective trust funds do not have finite lives, unfunded commitments relating to these type of investments, or significant restrictions on redemptions.

*    Investment was below 5% of Plan net assets at end of year.

As stated in note 2(d) above, the Plan is invested in four common collective trust funds all of which are managed by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Stable Return Fund, which is deemed to be fully benefit-responsive, is stated at fair value on the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits, with a corresponding adjustment to reflect contract value. The fair value of this fund as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $221,672,424 and $223,944,535, respectively. The contract value of the fund as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, which is a component of net assets available for benefits, totaled $216,858,174 and $223,497,540, respectively. During 2010 and 2009, this fund yielded approximately 2.38% and 3.40%, respectively. The primary investments strategy of the fund is to preserve the principal and maintain adequate liquidity. The S&P 500 Index Fund is an index fund with a primary investment strategy of approximating as closely as practicable the total return of the Standard and Poor's 500 Index. The S&P MidCap Fund is a collective investment fund with a primary investment strategy to approximate as closely as practicable the total return of the S&P 400 MidCap Index. The International Equity Fund is a collective investment fund with a primary investment strategy of long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in equity securities of companies based primarily in developed foreign countries and also in emerging markets.

During 2010 and 2009, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value, by investment type, as follows:

(6) Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

Certain Plan investments are shares of common collective trust funds managed by Wells Fargo Trust Operations (Wells Fargo). Wells Fargo is the trustee as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. As described in notes 2(e) and 4, Plan investments also include shares of the common stock of the Company.

(7) Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in the Company's contributions as applicable.

(8) Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated October 14, 2005 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, 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 provisions of the IRC.

It is the Plan's policy to recognize the impact of uncertain tax positions in its financial statements if, upon ultimate settlement, that position is more likely than not to be sustained. No such uncertain tax positions have been recognized by the Plan. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007.
