Item 2.06. Material Impairments.

On August 2, 2007, Radian Group Inc. (“Radian”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Impairment 8-K”) stating that a material charge for impairment of its investment in Credit-Based Asset Servicing and Securitization LLC (“C-BASS”), a less than 50% owned unconsolidated investment, was required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. At the time of the filing of the Impairment 8-K, Radian was unable to determine an estimate of the amount or range of amounts of the potential impairment. Radian’s total investment in C-BASS consisted of approximately $468 million of equity as of June 30, 2007 and $50 million under an unsecured credit facility provided to C-BASS on July 19, 2007, which has been fully drawn.

On October 31, 2007, Radian determined that the impairment charge for its investment in C-BASS would be approximately $468 million ($304 million after-tax), representing Radian’s entire equity investment in C-BASS. In addition, Radian believes its $50 million demand note to C-BASS is fully recoverable; however, until C-BASS’s financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 have been finalized by C-BASS, Radian cannot be certain of the carrying value of the demand note, which could be between $0 and $50 million. Radian will not be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of the impairment. The impairment charge will be reflected in Radian’s financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
