ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

            On February 28, 2001, Radian Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), consummated its acquisition of Enhance Financial Services Group
Inc., a New York corporation ("Enhance"), pursuant to that certain Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated November 13, 2000, among the Company, GOLD Acquisition
Corporation, a New York corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
("Merger Sub"), and Enhance (the "Merger Agreement"). The Company's acquisition
of Enhance was effected by merging Merger Sub with and into Enhance (the
"Merger"), with Enhance surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock, par
value $0.10 per share, of Enhance ("Enhance Common Stock"), other than Enhance
Common Stock held directly or indirectly by Enhance, which was cancelled and
retired, was converted into 0.22 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of common stock,
par value $0.001 per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock"). Enhance
stockholders who would otherwise receive fractional shares of Company Common
Stock instead were entitled to receive a cash payment for their fractional share
interest. In addition, each outstanding option to receive Enhance Common Stock
became an option to receive Company Common Stock as adjusted by the Exchange
Ratio. The terms of the Merger are described more fully in the Merger Agreement
and the registration statement on Form S-4, as amended, filed by the Company
(the "Registration Statement"), attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 99.1,
respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
