    All statements made in this press release that address events or
developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements
are made on the basis of management's current views and assumptions with
respect to future events.  The forward-looking statements, as well as Radian's
prospects as a whole, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the
following: changes in general financial and political conditions such as
extended national or regional economic recessions (or expansions), changes in
housing values, population trends and changes in household formation patterns,
changes in unemployment rates, changes or volatility in interest rates, or
other political instability; changes in investor perception of the strength of
private mortgage insurers or financial guaranty providers, and risks faced by
the businesses, municipalities or pools of assets covered by Radian's
insurance; the loss of a customer with whom Radian has a concentration of its
insurance in force; rising delinquencies in mortgage loans insured by Radian
resulting from increased consolidation of mortgage lenders and servicers;
increased severity or frequency of losses associated with certain Radian
products that are riskier than traditional mortgage insurance and municipal
guaranty insurance policies; material changes in persistency rates of Radian's
mortgage insurance policies; downgrades of the insurance financial-strength
ratings assigned by the major ratings agencies to Radian's operating
subsidiaries; heightened competition from other insurance providers and from
alternative products to private mortgage insurance and financial guaranty
insurance; changes in the business practices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac;
the application of  existing federal or state consumer lending, insurance and
other applicable laws and regulations, or unfavorable changes in these laws
and regulations or the way they are interpreted or applied, including: (i) the
possibility of private lawsuits or investigations by state insurance
departments and state attorneys general alleging that services offered by the
mortgage insurance industry, such as captive reinsurance, pool insurance and
contract underwriting, are violative of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures
Act and/or similar state regulations (particularly in light of public reports
that some state insurance departments may review or investigate captive
reinsurance arrangements used in the mortgage insurance industry), (ii) the
outcome of private lawsuits that have been brought against us and other
mortgage insurers under the Fair Credit Reporting Act or (iii) legislative and
regulatory changes affecting demand for private mortgage insurance or
financial guaranty insurance; the possibility that we may fail to estimate
accurately the likelihood, magnitude and timing of losses in connection with
establishing loss reserves for our mortgage insurance or financial guaranty
businesses or to estimate accurately the fair value amounts of derivative
financial guaranty contracts in determining gains and losses on these
contracts; changes in accounting guidance from the SEC or the Financial
Accounting Standards Board regarding income recognition and the treatment of
loss reserves in the mortgage insurance or financial guaranty industries;
changes in claims against mortgage insurance products resulting from the aging
of Radian's mortgage insurance policies; vulnerability to the performance of
Radian's strategic investments; international expansion of our mortgage
insurance and financial guaranty businesses into new markets and risks
associated with our international business activities; and the loss of
executive officers or other key personnel. Investors are also directed to
other risks discussed in documents filed by Radian with the SEC, including the
factors detailed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2004 in the section immediately preceding Part I of the report.  We
caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which are current only as of the date of this press release.  Radian does not
intend to and disclaims any duty or obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements made in this press release to reflect new
information, future events or for any other reason.
