                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Plan Administrator of the Triad Guaranty Inc.
    401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
(modified cash basis) of the Triad Guaranty Inc. 401(k)  Profit-Sharing  Plan as
of December  31,  2000 and 1999,  and the  related  statement  of changes in net
assets available for benefits  (modified cash basis) for the year ended December
31,  2000.  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, 2000 and 1999,  and changes
therein (modified cash basis) for the year ended December 31, 2000, 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, 2000 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.  The  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.

1. 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 six months of service for the period  January
1,  2000  through  September  1,  2000 and three  months  of  service  beginning
September  1,  2000.  The Plan is  subject  to the  provisions  of the  Employee
Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974  ("ERISA").  The Plan became  effective
November 1, 1993.

On  September  1, 2000,  the Company  amended and  restated  the Plan due to the
change in trustee to Merrill Lynch. The other significant change in the Plan was
a change in investment options available to participants.

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 $9,111 and $4,810 for 2000 and 1999
were used to reduce employer contributions.

                              (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.

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.

4. EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

All  Plan  investments  are  managed  by  the  trustee,  and,  therefore,  these
transactions qualify as  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 May
23,  1994,  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.
