Explanatory Notes

1. Effective January 31, 2004, one of the primary insurer customers of Radian Asset Assurance Inc. (the “Company”) exercised its right to recapture business that it previously ceded to the Company. In connection with this recapture, the Company has returned approximately $16.4 billion of par in force and approximately $96.4 million of statutory unearned premium reserves to the primary insurer. In addition, the Company has been reimbursed by the primary insurer for policy acquisition costs of approximately $31.0 million. The Company has also reimbursed the primary insurer approximately $7.5 million for case reserves which were net of $4.0 million of salvage.

2. In May 2004, Moody’s Investor Services Inc. (“Moody’s”) provided the Company with an initial insurance financial strength rating of “Aa3.” Concurrently and in anticipation of the merger of Radian Reinsurance with and into the Company (which became effective June 1, 2004), Moody’s downgraded Radian Reinsurance’s financial strength rating to “Aa3” from “Aa2.” Effective June 1, 2004, the Company and Radian Reinsurance were merged, with the Company as the surviving entity. The merged company is rated “Aa3” by Moody’s, “AA” (negative outlook) by S&P and “AA” (negative outlook ) by Fitch. As a result of the downgrade of the Moody’s rating related to the financial guaranty reinsurance business conducted by Radian Reinsurance prior to the merger, two of the primary insurer customers of the financial guaranty reinsurance business had the right to recapture written business ceded to the Company. One of these customers agreed, without cost to or concessions by the Company, to waive its recapture rights. Effective February 28, 2005, the remaining primary insurer customer with recapture rights recaptured approximately $7.4 billion of par in force that it had ceded to the Company through the recapture date, including $54.7 million of premiums written through the recapture date. Also in connection with the recapture in the first quarter of 2005, the Company was reimbursed for commissions of approximately $17.1 million. In March 2005, without cost to or concessions by the Company, this customer waived its remaining right to recapture an additional $5.2 billion of par in force that it had ceded to the Company through December 31, 2004. None of the Company’s primary insurance customers have any remaining recapture rights as a result of prior downgrades of the Company’s or Radian Reinsurance’s financial strength rating from any of the ratings agencies.

3. Gross and net written premiums for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 increased approximately $45 million compared to the same period of 2004. These increases were primarily the result of the recapture of $55 million of previously written premiums in the first quarter of 2005 versus a recapture of $96 million during the first quarter of 2004.

4. Premiums earned for the first quarter of 2005 were $33 million versus $46 million for the same period of 2004, a decline of $13 million. This decline is primarily due to a decrease in earnings in 2005 as a result of the impact of the 2004 recapture and certain one-time adjustments that impacted both 2005 and 2004.

5. Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 were $115 million lower than the comparable period of 2004 primarily due to the establishment of a $111 million reserve on a statutory basis in 2004 (recorded on a GAAP basis in 2003) pertaining to a single manufactured housing transaction.

6. For the first quarter of 2005, commission expenses were $16 million higher than the same period of 2004. The February 28, 2005 recapture resulted in a $17 million reduction of commission expenses, as compared to the January 31, 2004 recapture which resulted in a $31 million reduction.

7. Unearned premiums were $32 million lower at March 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004 as a result of the February 28, 2005 recapture of financial guaranty business by one of the Company’s primary insurers.
