The above schedule shows the Financial Guaranty Segment, on a GAAP basis, as reported (Column 1) and adjustments (Column 2) to reflect the income statement impact of the recapture (referred to above as the clawback) of business previously ceded to the Company by one of the primary insurer customers of the Financial Guaranty Segment. The adjusted numbers are shown in Column 3. The impact of the clawback (Column 2) reflects the clawback of business ceded to the Company in prior periods. This clawback affected the first quarter (and, as a result, the year-to-date periods) of 2004. Accordingly, management believes that Column 3 provides useful information to investors by presenting a more meaningful basis of comparison for the Financial Guaranty Segment’s past and future results.

Quarterly
Operating
Supplement | Radian Asset Assurance Inc. 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 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” (outlook stable) 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 has agreed, without cost to or concessions by the Company, to waive its recapture rights. On November 8, 2004, the remaining primary insurer customer with recapture rights notified the Company of its intent to recapture, at an unspecified date in the near future, approximately $5.8 billion of par in force ceded to the Company, including $49.8 million of written premiums as of September 30, 2004. The amount of future lost premiums due to this recapture will be approximately $94.0 million, which is made up of the unearned premium balance and the value of future installment premiums. This customer also has the right to recapture an additional $5.6 billion of par in force ceded to the Company, including $56.6 million of written premiums as of September 30, 2004. The Company is in discussions with this customer and cannot provide any assurances as to the outcome of these negotiations. The Company expects a decision on this matter before the end of 2004. Despite the recapture, the primary insurer customer also informally advised the Company that, going forward, the customer intends to continue its reinsurance relationship with the Company on the same terms.
3. Gross and net written premiums for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 decreased $170 million and $167 million, respectively, compared to the same period of 2003. These decreases were primarily the result of the January 31, 2004 recapture of $96 million of previously written premiums in the first quarter of 2004 and a $50 million reduction in trade credit premiums resulting from the Company novating business to affiliates.
4. Premiums earned for the third quarter of 2004 were $42 million versus $61 million for the same period of 2003, a decline of $19 million. This decline is primarily due to the novation of the trade credit business to affiliates.
5. Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $83 million higher than the comparable period of 2003 primarily due to the establishment of a $111 million reserve on a statutory basis (recorded on a GAAP basis in 2003) pertaining to a single manufactured housing transaction.
6. Commission expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 were $7 million lower than the $13 million incurred for the same period of 2003 due to lower assumed premiums written. For the first nine months of 2004, commission expenses were $58 million lower than the same period of 2003. The January 31, 2004 recapture resulted in a reduction to commission expenses of $31 million. The remainder of the reduction in commission expenses is a result of lower assumed premiums written in the financial guaranty and trade credit products.
7. The contingency reserve decreased $82 million to $239 million at September 30, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003 primarily as a result of the January 31, 2004 recapture.
8. Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves increased by $23 million to $85 million at September 30, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003 primarily resulting from the establishment of a $111 million reserve on a statutory basis (recorded on a GAAP basis in 2003) for a single manufactured housing transaction, offset by a $17 million reduction in trade credit loss reserves novated by the Company to affiliates and by $76 million of loss payments.
9. Unearned premiums were $36 million lower at September 30, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003 as a result of the January 31, 2004 recapture of financial guaranty business by one of the Company’s primary insurers.
10. Additional paid-in capital increased $65 million from December 31, 2003, as the result of a capital contribution related to the manufactured housing transaction for which the $111 million reserve was established.
11. Investment in common stock increased $40 million at September 30, 2004 primarily as a result of the capitalization of Radian Financial Products Limited, the Company’s 100% owned United Kingdom based Securities and Futures Company.
