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 audits. We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in Note 2, these financial statements and the supplemental schedule 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 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, 2001 and 2000, and changes therein (modified cash basis) for the year ended December 31, 2001, on the basis of accounting described in Note 2. Our audits were 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 at end of year) as of December 31, 2001 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 audits 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.

DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following description of the Triad Guaranty Inc. 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL The Plan is a salary deferral 401(k) defined contribution plan covering all employees of Triad Guaranty Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or the "Plan Sponsor") who have at least three months of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The Plan became effective November 1, 1993. CONTRIBUTIONS Each year, participants may contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. However, these elective deferral contributions may not exceed the dollar limitation contained in Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. In accordance with the Plan provisions, the Company may match the participant's elective deferral contribution. The discretionary percentage matched is determined by the Plan sponsor. Additional amounts may be contributed at the option of the Plan sponsor. FORFEITURES Forfeitures of matching contributions of $11,523 for 2001 were used to reduce employer contributions. 5 TRIAD GUARANTY INC. 401(K) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (MODIFIED CASH BASIS) 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED) PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions (elective deferral contribution) and allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) the Plan's earnings. Allocations are based on participants' compensation and account balances. A portion of forfeited balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are allocated to the active participants' account balances as described above. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account. VESTING Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. Participants are 20% vested after 1 year, 40% vested after 2 years, 60% vested after 3 years, 80% vested after 4 years and 100% vested after 5 years of service. PARTICIPANTS LOANS Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from 1-5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined quarterly by the plan administrator. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions. PAYMENT OF BENEFITS On termination of service, a participant may receive a lump-sum payment equal to the vested value of his or her account. Upon death, disability or retirement, a participant may receive either a lump-sum payment equal to the vested value of his or her account, or choose from several annuity options. 6 TRIAD GUARANTY INC. 401(K) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (MODIFIED CASH BASIS) 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED) 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 percent vested in their accounts. 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the modified cash method of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Under this basis, investments are recorded at fair value, contributions are recorded when received and benefits are recorded when paid. INVESTMENT VALUATION The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The shares of the registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Marketable securities are stated at fair value. The participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate their fair value. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 7 TRIAD GUARANTY INC. 401(K) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (MODIFIED CASH BASIS) 3.

EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS All Plan investments are managed by the trustee, Merrill Lynch, and, therefore, these transactions qualify as a party-in-interest. All fees for the investment manager services were paid by the Plan sponsor. Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Company. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. All administrative expenses are paid directly by the Plan sponsor. 5. INCOME TAX STATUS The Plan received an opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 29, 1993, stating that the written form of the underlying prototype plan document is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), and that any employer adopting this form of the Plan will be considered to have a plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. Therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt. 9 SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE 10 TRIAD GUARANTY INC. 401(K) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN EIN: 56-1838519 PLAN NUMBER: 001 SCHEDULE H, LINE 4I SCHEDULE OF ASSETS (HELD AT END OF YEAR) (MODIFIED CASH BASIS) DECEMBER 31, 2001 (c) Description of Investment, Including Maturity Date, Rate of (b) Interest, (e) Identity of Issue, Borrower, Collateral, Par Current (a) Lessor or Similar Party or Maturity Value Value - --- -------------------------------------- ---------------------- ------------ * Triad Guaranty Inc.
