Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of

Radian Group Inc. Savings Incentive Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Radian Group Inc. Savings Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) and Schedule of Reportable Transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are 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. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

RADIAN GROUP INC. SAVINGS INCENTIVE PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Plan Description

The following description of the Radian Group Inc. Savings Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for a complete description of the Plan.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan designed to allow eligible employees of Radian Group Inc. and its participating subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) to save for their retirement. Each eligible employee may participate in the Plan as of his or her date of hire.

Eligible employees may elect to contribute to the Plan on a pre-tax basis up to 100% of their eligible compensation. Contributions to the Plan are subject to limits set pursuant to the Plan (not to exceed the indexed limitations contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”)). These limits were $15,500 for both 2008 and 2007. Participants who attain age 50 or older before the close of the Plan year (December 31) are entitled to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of the Code. These limits were $5,000 for both 2008 and 2007. Participants may also roll over amounts representing distributions from other qualified retirement plans.

In addition, eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan (subject to their right to elect not to participate or to participate at a different contribution level) at a beginning participant contribution rate of 3% of eligible compensation. If a participant is automatically enrolled in the Plan and does not elect to discontinue or change such participant’s contribution rate, such participant’s contribution rate will be automatically increased by one percent each year until the contribution rate reaches 6%.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

B. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the changes therein during the reporting period. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Participants in the Plan can invest in a variety of funds including money market funds, mutual funds, common collective trusts, the Radian Group Inc. Common Stock Fund (the “Radian Common Stock Fund”) and targeted retirement funds.

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Cash and cash equivalents are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices based on the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. Units of the Radian Common Stock Fund are valued based on underlying investments, Radian common stock and money market accounts, which are valued at quoted market prices on the New York Stock Exchange on the last business day of the Plan year. For common collective trusts, the underlying assets include traditional investment contracts issued by insurance companies and banks, alternative contracts and short-term investments, and are valued by discounting the related cash flows on yields of similar instruments with comparable duration. In addition, for common collective trusts, such as the Retirement Savings Trust, with underlying investments in investment contracts, such common collective trusts are valued based on the unit value of the trusts and at the fair market value of the underlying investments and then adjusted to contract value. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded when earned. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded as of the trade date.

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, (the “FSP”) AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, “Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans,” investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attributable for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required by the FSP, the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present investment contracts at fair value, and also include an additional line item showing an adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is presented on a contract value basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

Adoption of new Accounting Guidance

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS No. 157”) effective January 1, 2008 with respect to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 (i) defines fair value, (ii) establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and (iii) expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for all financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 on a prospective basis. The Plan adoption of SFAS No. 157, effective January 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on our financial statements as of December 31, 2008. See Note O “Fair Value Measurements” for further information.

C. Administration/Termination of the Plan

The officer in charge of human resources of the Company is the Plan administrator. The Plan administrator has fiduciary responsibility for the general operation of the Plan and is indemnified by the Company. The administrative functions of the Plan are primarily performed by the Company’s Human Resources group. The Company does not receive compensation from the Plan for services provided. Administrative costs of the Plan that are deducted from participants’ accounts include (i) brokerage fees and commissions, which are included in the cost of investments and in determining net proceeds on sales of investments, and (ii) investment management fees, which are paid from the assets of the respective funds. Other administrative and operational costs of the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2008 were paid by the Company.

Although the Company has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event the Plan is terminated, all benefits would become fully vested and non-forfeitable and the net assets of the Plan would be allocated as required by the Plan and in accordance with ERISA.

D. Participant Accounts

The Vanguard Group (“TVG”), the record keeper for the Plan, maintains an account in the name of each participant, constituting the sum of such participant’s contributions, Company matching, discretionary and transition credit contributions, rollover contributions and share of the net earnings, losses and expenses of the various investment funds, less any loans and withdrawals. Each participant is entitled to the vested benefit of such participant’s account.

E. Matching, Discretionary and Transition Credit Contributions

The Company makes a “matching contribution” with respect to the salary reduction contributions of each participant, up to 6% of a participant’s annual eligible compensation. Matching contributions are made on a quarterly basis in cash or the Company’s common stock equal to 100% of each participant’s contributions during such period (subject to the 6% limitation discussed above) into the Radian Common Stock Fund. During 2008, all matching contributions were made in the Company’s common stock in the Radian Common Stock Fund. Matching contributions are considered non-participant directed investments.

The Company may make discretionary contributions to the Plan in amounts determined annually by the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). Any such contribution may be made in a fixed dollar amount or may be made as a percentage of the Company’s net profits, percentage of a participant’s compensation, or any other method determined by the Board. Investment allocations of discretionary contributions are allocated pro rata among the participant’s investment options at the time of contribution. The Company did not make any discretionary contribution for the year ended December 31, 2008. In January 2008, for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company made a discretionary contribution to the Plan in the amount of $1,000 per eligible participant ($850,000 in total).

The Radian Group Inc. Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) was terminated in June 2007. All of the Pension Plan assets were distributed as of November 24, 2008. At such time, then active participants and terminated employees with balances in the Pension Plan had the option of rolling over their account balances under the Pension Plan into the Plan. Upon termination of the Pension Plan, $6,198,751 of participant account balances were rolled over into the Plan.

Certain participants who had participated in the now terminated Pension Plan are entitled to receive yearly cash “transition credits” (for up to five years commencing with the Plan year beginning January 1, 2007, if they remain active employees during those five years). To have become eligible to receive transition credits, participants had to have attained at least five years of service and be active participants on December 31, 2006. Contributions are equal to a fixed percentage of their eligible compensation, calculated based on a formula that takes into account their age and years of completed vested service as of January 1, 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2008, transition credits made to the Plan in 2009 totaled $766,052. For the year ended December 31, 2007, transition credits made to the Plan in 2008 totaled $875,945. The transition credit contribution for each eligible participant was allocated pro rata among the participant’s investment options at the time of contribution. The discretionary contributions and transition credits are considered participant-directed because they were allocated pro rata among the participant’s investment options at the time of contribution.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

 

F. Forfeited Accounts

Effective January 1, 2007, each participant became 100% vested in (1) all matching contributions made on or after January 1, 2007 and (2) all matching contributions made before January 1, 2007, if the participant was actively employed by the Company on December 31, 2006. In addition, participants forfeit their right to discretionary contributions, and any earnings thereon, that are unvested at the time of their termination of service. During 2008 and 2007, forfeited non-vested amounts totaled $69,692 and $467,032, respectively. Employer matching contributions receivable from the Company in 2008 and 2007 were reduced by these amounts. See Note H below for information regarding the vesting of discretionary contributions.

G. Trustee

Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company (“Vanguard”) serves as trustee (the “Trustee”) for the Plan.

H. Vesting

Participants are at all times fully vested in amounts they contribute to the Plan, amounts received as transition credits, including any earnings on such amounts, roll over amounts, and the matching contributions.

Discretionary contributions to participants vest upon the completion of three years of eligible service with the Company.

I. Investment Options

Discretionary and transition credit contributions are allocated pro rata among the participant’s investment options at the time of contribution. Other than with respect to the Company matching contributions, each participant is solely responsible for selecting among the various investment options available under the Plan. If a participant does not select an investment option, his/her contribution will be made to the default fund, which is the Target Retirement Fund, based on the participant’s anticipated retirement age. Neither the Trustee nor the Company has any responsibility to select investments or to advise participants in selecting their investments, except with respect to the default fund. Participants may choose to have their contributions invested entirely in one, or in any combination of investment options, in whole percentage increments. Participants may change their deferral percentage and investment selection for future contributions on any business day. Changes will take effect for the next eligible pay cycle so long as the request is completed before the respective cutoff dates. Participants may transfer part or all of existing account balances among funds in the Plan at any time. All Company matching contributions in 2008 were made to the Radian Common Stock Fund. Participants are permitted to make transfers out of the Radian Common Stock Fund and into any other investment option available under the Plan at any time, subject to compliance with the Company’s Policy Regarding Securities Trading. See Note P below.

J. Payment of Benefits and Withdrawals

On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a participant or his or her beneficiary, as applicable, may elect to receive the value of the participant’s vested interest in the Plan as either a lump sum benefit or as annual installments over a ten-year period. For termination of service for reasons other than death, disability or retirement, a participant may receive the value of his or her vested interest in the Plan only as a lump-sum distribution. Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. If the amount in a participant’s account is less than $5,000, a lump-sum distribution is made following termination of the participant’s service.

Participants are permitted to make hardship withdrawals in accordance with Plan provisions. The minimum withdrawal permitted is the lesser of $500 or the full value of the participant’s applicable account. Withdrawals for financial hardship are permitted if they are necessary to satisfy an immediate financial need. A participant must exhaust the possibility of all other withdrawals under the Plan and under all other retirement plans maintained by the Company, including non-taxable loans, before being eligible for a hardship withdrawal. Earnings credited after 1988 on salary reduction contributions are not available for hardship withdrawals, even if the contributions were made before 1988. Upon receiving a hardship distribution, a participant is generally suspended from making contributions to the Plan (and all other deferred compensation plans maintained by the Company) for six months following the year of the hardship withdrawal.

L. Loans

Eligible participants may borrow from the vested portion of their account balances a minimum of $1,000 and up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loans bear interest at the prime rate plus 1% and are repaid via payroll deductions. The maximum loan period is five years, subject to a limited exception for the purchase of a primary residence where the loan period can be up to 25 years. A participant may have only one loan outstanding at any one time. Outstanding loans are due and payable upon termination of service.

M. Federal Tax Considerations

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by letter dated September 11, 2002 that the Plan and related trust is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Code. Although the Company has amended the Plan since this determination, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan continues to be designed and operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

O. Fair Value Measurements

As required by SFAS No. 157, we established a fair value hierarchy by prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level I measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS No. 157 are described below:

Level I—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level II—Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level III—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The level of market activity in determining the fair value hierarchy is based on the availability of observable inputs market participants would use to price an asset or a liability, including market value price observations. For markets in which inputs are not observable or limited, we use significant judgment and assumptions that a typical market participant would use to evaluate the market price of an asset or liability. These assets and liabilities are classified in Level III of our fair value hierarchy. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following are descriptions of our valuation methodologies for assets measured at fair value.

Mutual Funds – Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices based on the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end.

Common Stock Fund – Units of the Radian Common Stock Fund are valued based on underlying investments, Radian common stock and money market accounts, which are valued at quoted market prices on the New York Stock Exchange on the last day of the Plan year.

Common Collective Trust – The common collective trust, with underlying investments in investment contracts are valued based on the unit value of the trusts and at the fair market value of the underlying investments and then adjusted to contract value.

Participant Loans – Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.

P. Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are subject to various risks such as interest rate, market volatility and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Market values of the Plan’s investments may decline for a number of reasons, including changes in prevailing market and interest rates, increases in defaults, increases in voluntary prepayments for investments that are subject to prepayment risk under normal market conditions, and widening of credit spreads.

In April 2008, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against Radian Group Inc., the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Company’s board of directors and individual defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The complaint alleges violations of ERISA as it relates to the Plan. The named plaintiff is a former employee of the Company. On July 25, 2008, we filed a motion to dismiss this case. The court heard our motion to dismiss on December 19, 2008, and we are awaiting a final ruling. We believe that the allegations are without merit, and intend to defend against this action vigorously.
