MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Enhance Financial Services Group Inc. ("Enhance Financial") is a holding company
that, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, principally Enhance Reinsurance
Company and Asset Guaranty Insurance Company (the "Insurance Subsidiaries"),
provides financial guaranty insurance and reinsurance, and other products and
services utilizing the Company's credit-related analytic skills.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 vs.
Three Months Ended September 30, 1995
Gross premiums written in the third quarter of 1996 were $21.8 million compared
with $19.8 million in the same period in 1995. Gross premiums derived from
municipal reinsurance declined by 11.1% to $8.9 million while non-municipal
reinsurance premiums grew by 9.5% to $2.4 million. This decline in monoline
reinsurance premiums was more than offset by a 38.6% increase in gross premiums
derived from the Company's other insurance lines which accounted for $10.5
million (48.0%) of gross premiums written compared to $7.6 million (38.1%) in
the 1995 third quarter.
Net premiums written increased 13.2% to $20.8 million in the third quarter of
1996 from $18.4 million in the same period in 1995, consistent with the gross
premiums analysis discussed in the preceding paragraph. Of the Company's net
premiums written in the third quarter of 1996, 42.3%, 11.5% and 46.2% were
derived from the reinsurance of municipal bonds, the reinsurance of
non-municipal debt obligations and the Company's other insurance lines,
respectively, compared to 54.5%, 11.9% and 33.6% during the same period in 1995.
In the third quarter of 1996, industry new-issue municipal volume of $37.6
billion was recorded, compared to $37.2 billion in the 1995 third quarter. The
insured portion of such new issues was approximately 49.2% in the third quarter
of 1996 compared to 44.1% in the same period in 1995. Total municipal bond
refundings in the third quarter of 1996 decreased to 22.3% of new-issue volume
from 24.7% for the 1995 comparable period.
Premiums earned grew 22.7% to $18.7 million in the third quarter of 1996 from
$15.2 million during the comparable period in 1995. This increase reflects in
part the growth in earned premiums derived from the Company's other insurance
lines which contributed $7.7 million of earned premium in the third quarter of
1996, compared to $5.4 million in the comparable 1995 quarter as well as a
slightly higher level of refundings which accounted for an estimated $1.9
million of third quarter 1996 earned premiums versus $1.6 million in the third
quarter of 1995.
-9-
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
The growth in earned premiums reflects the earnings generated from higher
balances of deferred premium revenue. Deferred premium revenue grew to $258.6
million at September 30, 1996 from $248.1 million at year-end 1995.
Net investment income increased 7.7% to $12.2 million in the third quarter of
1996 from $11.3 million in the same period in 1995. This increase primarily
reflects the growth in the Company's investment portfolio during the period. Net
investment income is presented after deduction of both external investment
management fees and internal costs associated with managing the portfolio.
The average pre-tax yields on the Company's investment portfolio after all
associated costs, were 6.26% and 6.46.% for the third quarters of 1996 and 1995
respectively. In addition, the Company realized $0.4 million and $0.3 million of
capital gains in the third quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Incurred losses and LAE were $2.1 million and $2.0 million in the third quarter
of 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company's operating expense ratio declined to 53.2% for the third quarter of
1996 from 56.4% in the 1995 third quarter. Policy acquisition costs were $6.1
million and $5.2 million for the third quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively,
representing 32.8% and 34.4% of premiums earned in those respective periods.
Interest expense totaled $1.5 million in each of the 1996 and 1995 third
quarters.
The Company's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1996 was 25.8%
compared to 26.1% for the 1995 third quarter.
The Company's 1996 third quarter net income increased 18.4% to $13.8 million
from $11.7 million in the third quarter of 1995 reflecting increases in premiums
earned and investment income and a lower expense ratio. Primary earnings per
share increased 13.4% to $0.77 per share in the third quarter of 1996 from $0.68
per share in the third quarter of 1995, while operating earnings per share,
which excludes the impact of capital gains and currency gains and losses,
increased 12.5% to $0.75 from $0.67 in the 1995 third quarter.
The per-share results were negatively impacted by the higher weighted average
shares during the 1996 third quarter following the reissuance, in the first
quarter of 1996, of 600,000 treasury shares to Swiss Reinsurance Company and the
issuance at various times throughout 1996 of 201,650 new shares in connection
with the exercise of stock options.
The weighted average shares outstanding during the third quarter of 1996 was
18.02 million compared to 17.25 million for the third quarter of 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 vs.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
Gross premiums written in the first nine months of 1996 were $69.3 million
compared to $57.6 million in the same period in 1995, representing a 20.4%
increase. This increase is principally attributable to a 185.5% increase in
non-municipal reinsurance premiums and a 23.2% increase in premiums derived from
the Company's other insurance lines, offset in part by a 12.2% decline in
municipal reinsurance premiums.
Net premiums written increased 21.7% to $66.5 million in the first nine months
of 1996 from $54.6 million in the same period in 1995, consistent with the
increase in gross premiums discussed in the preceding paragraph. Of the
Company's net premiums written in the first nine months of 1996, 36.5%, 22.1%
and 41.4% were derived from the reinsurance of municipal bonds, the reinsurance
of non-municipal debt obligations and the Company's other insurance lines,
respectively, compared to 50.4%, 9.4% and 40.2% during the same period in 1995.
In the first nine months of 1996, new-issue volume of $129.1 billion was
recorded, a 20.2% increase over the same period in 1995. The insured portion of
such new issues was 47.6% in the first nine months of 1996 compared to 40.7% for
the first nine months of 1995. Total municipal bond refundings in the first nine
months of 1996 represented 24.2% of new-issue volume compared to 20.0% in the
first nine months of 1995.
Premiums earned grew 22.8% to $55.8 million in the first nine months of 1996
from $45.4 million during the comparable period in 1995. Monoline reinsurance
earned premiums increased 20.6% principally due to refundings which contributed
$7.1 million (12.8%) of earned premiums in the first nine months of 1996
compared to $3.7 million (8.1%) in the same period in 1995. The increase in
earned premiums further reflects the growth in earned premiums derived from the
Company's other insurance lines which contributed $21.8 million of earned
premium in the first nine months of 1996, compared to $17.2 million in the
comparable 1995 period.
Net investment income increased 8.8% to $35.3 million in the first nine months
of 1996 from $32.5 million in the first nine months of 1995. This increase
primarily reflects the growth in the Company's investment portfolio during the
period. The average pre-tax yields on the Company's investment portfolio after
all associated costs were 6.37% and 6.42% for the first nine months of 1996 and
1995, respectively. In addition, the Company realized $0.7 million of capital
gains during the first nine months of 1996 compared with $0.2 million of
realized capital losses in the comparable 1995 period. Net investment income is
presented after deduction of both external investment management fees and
internal costs associated with managing the portfolio.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Incurred losses and LAE were $6.4 million and $6.7 million in the first nine
months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company's operating expense ratio decreased to 52.8% in the first nine
months of 1996 from 55.3% in the same period in 1995. Policy acquisition costs
were $18.3 million and $15.5 million for the first nine of 1996 and 1995,
respectively, representing 32.9% and 34.0% of premiums earned in those
respective periods.
Interest expense totaled $4.4 million in the first nine months of 1996 compared
to $4.2 million for the same period in 1995. The increase reflects the interest
expense on the higher average outstanding balance during the first nine months
of 1996 on the Company's line of credit under a bank credit agreement (the
"Credit Agreement").
The Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1996 was 25.9%
compared to 24.6% for the 1995 comparable period.
Net income for the first nine months of 1996 increased 17.1% to $39.0 million
from $33.3 million in the first nine months of 1995 reflecting increases in
premium earned and investment income and a lower expense ratio. Primary earnings
per-share increased 14.0% to $2.19 from $1.92 in the 1995 first nine months,
while operating earnings per share, which excludes the impact of capital
gains/losses and foreign exchange gains/losses, increased 13.5% to $2.16.
The per-share results were negatively impacted by the higher weighted average
shares during the first nine months of 1996 following the reissuance, in the
first quarter of 1996, of 600,000 treasury shares to Swiss Reinsurance Company
and the issuance at various times throughout 1996 of 201,650 new shares in
connection with the exercise of stock options.
The weighted average shares outstanding during the first nine months of 1996 was
17.82 million compared to 17.34 million for the 1995 comparable period.

expenses, principal and interest on its debt obligations, dividends, if any, to
