                        Report of Independent Auditors

The Participants of The PMI Group, Inc. Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan
 and Board of Directors of The PMI Group, Inc.

We were engaged to audit the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits (modified cash basis) of The PMI Group, Inc. Savings and Profit-Sharing
Plan as of December 31, 2000, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) 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. The financial statements of the Plan as of December 31, 1999, and for
the year then ended were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 23,
2000, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

As described in Note 2, the financial statements and supplemental schedules were
prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis
of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

In our opinion, the 2000 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, information regarding the Plan's net assets available
for benefits (modified cash basis) as of December 31, 2000, and changes therein
(modified cash basis) for the year then ended on the basis of accounting
described in Note 2.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule (modified
cash basis) of assets held for investment purposes at end of year as of December
31, 2000, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the 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 (modified cash basis) has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as
a whole.

                PMI Group, Inc. Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan

              Notes to Financial Statements (Modified Cash Basis)

                               December 31, 2000


1.   Description of the Plan

The following description of The PMI Group, Inc. Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan
(the Plan) is provided for general information only. Participants should refer
to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan was established on April 1, 1995. The Plan is a defined contribution
plan covering all full-time and regular part-time employees of The PMI Group,
Inc. (the Company). The Plan is available to employees immediately after
employment. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan is administered by the Company. The
trustee of the Plan is Merrill Lynch Trust Company.

Contributions

The participants may contribute up to 17% of their annual compensation, as
defined, not to exceed the ERISA limit of $10,500 for 2000 and $10,000 for 1999.
The Company's cash contributions total 25% of each eligible participant's pre-
tax contributions for the period, not to exceed 6% of each participant's
eligible pay, with an additional discretionary stock contribution up to 75%, not
to exceed 6% of each eligible participant's annual compensation. The additional
discretionary stock contribution was up to 50% in 1999.

Contributions are invested, at the option of the participant, in any of the

a portfolio of medium to high quality fixed-income securities with short- to
intermediate-term maturities (three to five years).

the stocks of established companies based in Europe, Australia and the Far East.

1.   Description of the Plan (continued)

Contributions (continued)

PMI Stock Fund - Amounts within this fund are invested in common stock of the
Company.

Cash Account - Amounts within this account represent cash held temporarily until
allocated to a fund.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's and Company's
prescribed contributions and an allocation of Plan earnings. Allocations are
based on participants' contributions or account balances, as defined in the
Plan. The maximum annual addition (participant contributions plus employer match
and excluding any appreciation/depreciation on the account) to each
participant's account, as defined, may not exceed the lesser of 25% of the
participant's compensation for the year or $30,000.

Vesting

Employer contributions, employee contributions and Plan earnings are fully
vested to all participant accounts at all times.

Participant Withdrawals

Withdrawals from the Plan are available upon hardship in accordance with Plan
provisions. Upon termination of employment, a participant may elect to receive a
lump-sum benefit. Upon attaining age 59 1/2, participants may elect to receive
either a lump-sum amount equal to their vested account balance or a portion paid
in a lump sum with the remainder paid at a later date. At age 70 1/2, if no
amount has been previously paid out, a participant may be required to take a
partial withdrawal in accordance with Plan provisions.

Plan Termination

In the event of Plan termination, the full value of all participants' accounts
would become fully vested and lump-sum distributions to participants would be
made in accordance with the Plan. Although it has not expressed any intention to
do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to suspend, terminate or
completely discontinue contributions.

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

Participant Loans

The Plan allows participants to obtain loans in an amount not to exceed $50,000
or 50% of the participant's vested accrued benefit under the Plan. As of
December 31, 2000, 166 loans bear interest at rates that range from 8.5% to
10.5% and were outstanding with maturities through January 2006. These loans are
being repaid over one year to five years at the prime interest rate in effect on
the date the loan was obtained plus 1%. The loans are fully collateralized by
the participants' remaining vested account balance.

Plan Expenses

Plan expenses are paid by the Company.

2. Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the modified cash basis.
Transactions are primarily recorded upon receipt and disbursement of cash,
except for investments which are stated at current market value. Certain
revenues and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when
earned, and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the
obligation is incurred. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are
not intended to be a presentation in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

Investments Valuation

Investments in mutual funds are stated at fair values, determined on the basis
of quotations obtained from national securities exchanges or from the trustee.
Investment transactions are recorded on the settlement date. Participant loans
are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

Cost of Securities Sold

The cost of mutual fund shares sold, as used to calculate realized gains and
losses on disposition of mutual fund shares, is determined using the average-
cost basis.

Payment of Benefits

Distributions to participants are recorded when paid.

                                       7


2. Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the modified-cash
basis of accounting requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.


Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.

3. Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated March 23, 1999, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance
with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (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
being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

4. Investments

During 2000, the Plan's investments (including investments purchased, sold as
well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as
determined by quoted market prices as follows:




                                                       Net Realized
