NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

(Tabular information expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share data)

(unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation and Consolidation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. Results of operations for subsidiaries acquired are included from the dates of their acquisition by the Company. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In these notes, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company” refer to Enstar Group Limited and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management believes that the amounts included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect its best estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s principal estimates include, but are not limited to:

•

reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses;

•

policy benefits for life and annuity contracts;

•

gross and net premiums written and net premiums earned;

•

reinsurance balances recoverable, including the provisions for uncollectible amounts;

•

other-than-temporary impairments in the carrying value of available-for-sale investment securities;

•

valuation of certain other investments that are measured using significant unobservable inputs;

•

valuation of goodwill and intangible assets; and

•

fair value estimates associated with accounting for acquisitions.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period reported amounts of net increase (reduction) in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities and acquisition costs for non-life run-off to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on income or net earnings previously reported.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—(Continued)

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2014

ASU 2013-11 Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (“ASU 2013-11”). The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to improve the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with both early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and financial position.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Torus Insurance Holdings Limited

On April 1, 2014, Kenmare Holdings Ltd. (“Kenmare”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, together with Trident V, L.P., Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P. and Trident V Professionals Fund, L.P., which are managed by Stone Point Capital LLC (collectively, “Trident”), completed the previously announced acquisition of Torus Insurance Holdings Limited (“Torus”). Torus is an A- rated global specialty insurer with six wholly-owned insurance vehicles, including Lloyd’s Syndicate 1301. At closing, Torus became directly owned by Bayshore Holdings Ltd. (“Bayshore”), which was 60% owned by Kenmare and 40% owned by Trident.

The purchase price for Torus was established in the amended and restated amalgamation agreement as $646.0 million, to be paid partly in cash and partly in the Company’s stock. The number of Company shares to be issued was fixed at the signing of the amalgamation agreement on July 8, 2013 and was determined by reference to an agreed-upon value per share of $132.448, which was the average closing price of the Company’s voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Voting Ordinary Shares”), over the 20 trading days prior to such signing date. On the day before closing of the amalgamation, the Voting Ordinary Shares had a closing price of $136.31 per share. At closing, the Company contributed cash of $41.6 million towards the purchase price and $3.6 million towards related transaction expenses, as well as 1,898,326 Voting Ordinary Shares and 714,015 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Non-Voting Preferred Shares”). Based on a price of $136.31 per share, the Company’s contribution of cash and shares to the purchase price totaled $397.7 million in the aggregate. Trident contributed cash of $258.4 million towards the purchase price and $2.4 million towards related transaction expenses. Based on a price of $136.31 per share, the aggregate purchase price paid by the Company and Trident was $656.1 million.

Reserve’s Non-Voting Preferred Shares converted on a share-for-share basis into 714,015 shares of newly created Series E Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares (the “Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares”). Corsair Specialty Investors, L.P. (“Corsair”) received 397,115 Voting Ordinary Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. The remaining Torus shareholders received all cash. As a result of the amalgamation, First Reserve now owns approximately 9.5% and 11.5%, respectively, of the Company’s Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital.

Upon the closing of the Torus acquisition, Bayshore, Kenmare and Trident entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement”), which was subsequently amended, as described in “Dowling Co-investments in Bayshore and Northshore” below.


Purchase price	$	656,088

Net assets acquired at fair value	$	643,088

Excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired	$	13,000

The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of Torus based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognized goodwill of $13.0 million, all of which was recorded within the Torus segment and is attributable primarily to Torus’ assembled workforce (refer to note 19 for a description of the Company’s segments) . The Company also recognized indefinite lived intangible assets of $23.9 million and other definite lived intangible assets of $20.0 million.

The Company has not completed the process of determining the fair value of its losses and loss adjustment expense reserves, goodwill and intangible assets acquired. These valuations will be completed within the measurement period, which cannot exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. As a result, the fair value recorded for these items is a provisional estimate and may be subject to adjustment. Once completed, any adjustments resulting from the valuations may impact the individual amounts recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the residual goodwill.

Prior to acquisition, Torus ceased underwriting certain lines of business in order to focus on core property, casualty and specialty lines. The results of the discontinued lines of business which were placed into run-off are included within the Company’s non-life run-off segment.

Torus is a global specialty insurer that offers a diverse range of property, casualty and specialty insurance through its operations in the U.K., Continental Europe, the U.S., and Bermuda.

Results related to Torus’ run-off business are included within the Company’s non-life run-off segment.

Changes in Ownership Interests relating to Holding Companies for our Active Underwriting Businesses

Atrium Employee Equity Awards

On April 17, 2014, Northshore Holdings Ltd. (“Northshore”), the parent company of Atrium Underwriting Group Limited (“Atrium”) and Arden Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“Arden”), implemented long-term incentive plans that awarded time-based restricted shares of Northshore to certain Atrium employees. These equity awards will have the effect of modestly reducing Kenmare’s equity interest in Northshore (as well as Trident’s equity interest) over the course of the vesting periods as Atrium

employees acquire shares. Shares generally vest over two to three years, although certain awards began vesting in 2014.

Dowling Co-investments in Bayshore and Northshore

On May 8, 2014, Dowling Capital Partners I, L.P. (“Dowling”) purchased common shares of both Bayshore and Northshore from Kenmare and Trident (on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective interests) for an aggregate amount of $15.4 million.

Prior to the sale of shares to Dowling, Kenmare and Trident owned 60% and 40% of Bayshore, respectively, and 57.1% and 38.1% of Northshore on a fully diluted basis, respectively (assuming full vesting of Atrium employees’ restricted shares totaling 4.8%). Following the sale of Bayshore shares to Dowling, Kenmare, Trident and Dowling own 59%, 39.3% and 1.7% of Bayshore, respectively. Following the sale of Northshore shares to Dowling, Kenmare, Trident, certain Atrium employees and Dowling own 56.1%, 37.4%, 4.8% and 1.7% of Northshore, respectively, on a fully diluted basis.¹

In connection with the sale of Bayshore shares, the Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement was amended and restated. The Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement, among other things, provides that Kenmare has the right to appoint three members to the Bayshore board of directors and Trident has the right to appoint two members. The Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement includes a five-year period (the “Restricted Period”) during which no shareholder can transfer its ownership interest in Bayshore to a third party unless approved by a super-majority of the shareholders. Following the Restricted Period: (i) each shareholder must offer Kenmare and Trident the right to buy its shares before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require each other shareholder to participate in a sale of Bayshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Bayshore held by Kenmare and Trident; (iii) each shareholder has the right to be included on a pro rata basis in any sales made by another shareholder; and (iv) each of Kenmare, Trident and Dowling has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Bayshore.

The Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement also provides that during the 90-day period following the fifth anniversary of the Torus closing, and at any time following the seventh anniversary of such closing, Kenmare would have the right to purchase the Bayshore shares owned by all other shareholders of Bayshore at their then fair market value, which would be payable in cash. Following the seventh anniversary of the Torus closing, Trident would have the right to require Kenmare to purchase all of Trident’s shares in Bayshore for their then current fair market value and Dowling would have the right to participate in such transaction by requiring Kenmare to purchase all of its shares in Bayshore on the same terms. Kenmare would have the option to pay for such shares either in cash or by delivering the Company’s Voting Ordinary Shares.

In connection with the sale of Northshore shares, the Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement was amended and restated. The Amended and Restated Northshore Shareholders’ Agreement provides for substantially the same rights and obligations as the Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement, except that the fifth and seventh anniversaries refer to the Arden closing.

Reciprocal of America

On July 6, 2012, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Providence Washington Insurance Company, entered into a definitive loss portfolio transfer reinsurance agreement with Reciprocal of America (in Receivership) and its Deputy Receiver relating to a portfolio of workers’ compensation business. The estimated total liabilities to be assumed are approximately $164.5 million, with an equivalent amount of assets to be received as consideration. Completion of the transaction is conditioned upon, among other things, regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2014.

Shelbourne RITC Transactions

Effective January 1, 2014, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 (“S2008”), which is managed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and Lloyd’s managing agent, Shelbourne Syndicate Services Limited, entered into a reinsurance to close contract of the 2011 and prior underwriting years of account of another Lloyd’s syndicate, under which S2008 assumed total net insurance reserves of approximately £17.0 million (approximately $28.1 million) for cash consideration of an equal amount.

Effective December 31, 2012, S2008 entered into a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement with another Lloyd’s syndicate in respect of its 2009 and prior years of account (the “2009 Liabilities”), under which S2008 assumed total gross insurance reserves of approximately £193.0 million (approximately $313.3 million) for consideration of an equal amount. Effective January 1, 2014, the 2012 Lloyd’s underwriting year of account of S2008 entered into a partial RITC transaction with respect to the 2009 Liabilities.

4. INVESTMENTS

The Company holds: (i) trading portfolios of fixed maturity investments, short-term investments and equities; (ii) a held-to-maturity portfolio of fixed maturity investments; and (iii) available-for-sale portfolios of fixed maturity and short-term investments. The Company’s trading and available-for-sale portfolios are recorded at fair value. The Company’s held-to-maturity portfolio is recorded at amortized cost.

In the normal course of the Company’s investing activities, it actively manages allocations to non-controlling tranches of structured securities issued by variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These structured securities include residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and are included in the tables below.

In addition to these securities, the Company also invests in private equity funds, fixed income funds, fixed income hedge funds, equity and real estate debt funds and collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) equity-tranched securities, which are all variable interests issued by VIEs. For these variable interests, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of the VIEs and, accordingly, it is not the primary beneficiary for any of these VIEs. Its maximum exposure to loss on these interests is limited to the amount of its investment. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these structured securities other than its original investment.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Process

The Company assesses whether declines in the fair value of its fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity represent impairment losses that are other-than-temporary and whether a credit loss exists in accordance with its accounting policies. In assessing whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery, the Company considers various factors including its future cash flow requirements, legal and regulatory requirements, the level of its cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and fixed maturity investments available-for-sale in an unrealized gain position, and other relevant factors. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses due to required sales. The Company determined that, as at June 30, 2014, no credit losses existed.

Private equity funds

This class comprises several private equity funds that invest primarily in the financial services industry. All of the Company’s investments in private equity funds are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales that are determined by the governing documents and limit the Company’s ability to liquidate those investments. These restrictions have been in place since the dates the initial investments were made by the Company.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $215.2 million and $161.2 million, respectively, of other investments recorded in private equity funds, which represented 2.7% and 2.5% of total investments, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Due to a lag in the valuations reported by the managers, the Company records changes in the investment value with up to a three-month lag. Management regularly reviews and discusses fund performance with the Company’s fund managers to corroborate the reasonableness of the reported net asset values and to assess whether any events have occurred within the lag period that would affect the valuation of the investments.

Fixed income funds

This class comprises a number of positions in diversified fixed income funds that are managed by third party managers. Underlying investments vary from high grade corporate bonds to non-investment grade senior secured loans and bonds, but are generally invested in liquid fixed income markets. These funds have regularly published prices. The funds have liquidity terms that vary from daily to monthly.

Fixed income hedge funds

This class comprises hedge funds that invest in a diversified portfolio of debt securities. The hedge funds have imposed lock-up periods of three years from the time of the Company’s initial investment. Once eligible, redemptions will be permitted quarterly with 90 days’ notice. In April 2014, the Company received $5.4 million following a redemption of shares of one of the funds in this class.

Equity funds

This class comprises equity funds that invest in a diversified portfolio of international publicly-traded equity securities.

Real estate debt fund

This class comprises a real estate debt fund that invests primarily in U.S. commercial real estate loans and securities. A redemption request for this fund can be made 10 days after the date of any monthly valuation; the fund states that it will make commercially reasonable efforts to redeem the investment within the next monthly period.

CLO equities

This class comprises investments in the equity tranches of term-financed securitizations of diversified pools of corporate bank loans. CLO equities denote direct investments by the Company in these securities.

Other

This class primarily comprises a fund that provides loans to educational institutions throughout the U.S. and its territories. Through these investments, the Company participates in the performance of the underlying loan pools. This investment matures when the loans are paid down and cannot be redeemed before maturity. Also included within this class is a catastrophe bond acquired as part of the Company’s acquisition of Torus.

Redemption restrictions on other investments

Certain funds included in other investments are subject to a lock-up period. A lock-up period refers to the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to invest before having the ability to redeem the investment. Funds that do provide for periodic redemptions may, depending on the funds’

governing documents, have the ability to deny or delay a redemption request, which is called a “gate.” The fund may restrict redemptions because the aggregate amount of redemption requests as of a particular date exceeds a specified level. The gate is a method for executing an orderly redemption process that allows for redemption requests to be executed in a timely manner to reduce the possibility of adversely affecting the remaining investors in the fund. Typically, the imposition of a gate delays a portion of the requested redemption, with the remaining portion to be settled in cash sometime after the redemption date.

Certain funds included in other investments may be allowed to invest a portion of their assets in illiquid securities, such as private equity or convertible debt. In such cases, a common mechanism used is a “side-pocket,” whereby the illiquid security is assigned to a separate memorandum capital account or designated account. Typically, the investor loses its redemption rights in the designated account. Only when the illiquid security is sold, or is otherwise deemed liquid by the fund, may investors redeem their interest in the side-pocket.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had $2.6 million of investments subject to side-pockets ($3.2 million as of December 31, 2013). As of June 30, 2014, management has not made any adjustments to the fair value estimate reported by the fund managers for the side-pocketed investments.

The following tables present the fair value, unfunded commitments and redemption frequency for the funds included within other investments. These investments are all valued at net asset value as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price at which to sell an asset or transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels as follows:

•

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments.

•

Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or for which significant inputs are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgment about assumptions that market participants might use.

The following is a summary of valuation techniques or models the Company uses to measure fair value by asset and liability classes.

Fixed Maturity Investments

The Company’s fixed maturity investments portfolio is managed by the Company’s Chief Investment Officer and outside investment advisors with oversight from the Company’s Investment Committee. Fair values for all securities in the fixed maturity investments portfolio are independently provided by the investment custodians, investment accounting service providers and investment managers, each of which utilize internationally recognized independent pricing services. Interactive Data Corporation is, however, the main pricing service utilized to estimate the fair value measurements for the Company’s fixed maturity investments. The Company records the unadjusted price provided by the investment custodians, investment accounting service providers or the investment managers and validates this price through a process that includes, but is not limited to: (i) comparison of prices against alternative pricing sources; (ii) quantitative analysis (e.g. comparing the quarterly return for each managed portfolio to its target benchmark); (iii) evaluation of methodologies used by external parties to estimate fair value, including a review of the inputs used for pricing; and (iv) comparing the price to the Company’s knowledge of the current investment market. The Company’s internal price validation procedures and review of fair value methodology documentation provided by independent pricing services have not historically resulted in adjustment in the prices obtained from the pricing service.

The independent pricing services used by the investment custodians, investment accounting service providers and investment managers obtain actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. For determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded, in general, pricing services use “matrix pricing” in which the independent pricing service uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, interest rates, prepayment speeds, default rates and such other inputs as are available from market sources to determine a reasonable fair value. In addition, pricing services use valuation

models, using observable data, such as an Option Adjusted Spread model, to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The Option Adjusted Spread model is commonly used to estimate fair value for securities such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.

The following describes the techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturity investments by asset class.

•

U.S. government and agency securities consist of securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other agencies. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes. These are considered to be observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•

Non-U.S. government securities consist of bonds issued by non-U.S. governments and agencies along with supranational organizations. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes. These are considered to be observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•

Corporate securities consist primarily of investment-grade debt of a wide variety of corporate issuers and industries. The fair values of these securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, benchmark yields, and industry and market indicators. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, securities are classified within Level 3. As at June 30, 2014, the Company had one corporate security classified as Level 3.

•

Municipal securities consist primarily of bonds issued by U.S.-domiciled state and municipal entities. The fair values of these securities are determined using the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes and benchmark yields. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•

Asset-backed securities consist primarily of investment-grade bonds backed by pools of loans with a variety of underlying collateral. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, prepayment speeds and default rates. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2.

•

Residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities include both agency and non-agency originated securities. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, prepayment speeds and default rates. These are considered observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2. Where pricing is unavailable from pricing services, the Company obtains non-binding quotes from broker-dealers. This is generally the case when there is a low volume of trading activity

and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, securities are classified within Level 3. As at June 30, 2014, the Company had no residential or commercial mortgage-backed securities classified as Level 3.

Equities

The Company’s equities are predominantly traded on the major exchanges and are primarily managed by two external advisors. The Company uses Interactive Data Corporation, an internationally recognized pricing service, to estimate the fair value for all of its equities. The Company’s equities are widely diversified and there is no significant concentration in any specific industry.

The Company has categorized all of its investments in equities other than preferred stock as Level 1 investments because the fair values of these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value estimates of the Company’s preferred stock is based on observable market data and, as a result, has been categorized as Level 2, with the exception of one investment in preferred stock that has been categorized as Level 3.

Other investments

The Company has ongoing due diligence processes with respect to funds in which it invests and their managers. These processes are designed to assist the Company in assessing the quality of information provided by, or on behalf of, each fund and in determining whether such information continues to be reliable or whether further review is warranted. Certain funds do not provide full transparency of their underlying holdings; however, the Company obtains the audited financial statements for funds annually, and regularly reviews and discusses the fund performance with the fund managers to corroborate the reasonableness of the reported net asset values. The use of net asset value as an estimate of the fair value for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value is a permitted practical expedient. While reported net asset value is the primary input to the review, when the net asset value is deemed not to be indicative of fair value, the Company may incorporate adjustments to the reported net asset value (and not use the permitted practical expedient) on an investment by investment basis. These adjustments may involve significant management judgment. As at June 30, 2014, there were no significant adjustments made to the reported net asset value.

For its investments in private equity funds, the Company measures fair value by obtaining the most recently provided capital statement from the external fund manager or third-party administrator. The funds calculate net asset value on a fair value basis. For all publicly-traded companies within these funds, the Company adjusts the reported net asset value based on the latest share price as of the Company’s reporting date. The Company has classified its investments in private equity funds as Level 3.

The fixed income funds and equity funds in which the Company invests have been classified as Level 2 investments because their fair value is estimated using the published net asset value and because the fixed income funds and equity funds are highly liquid.

For its investments in fixed income hedge funds, the Company measures fair value by obtaining the most recently published net asset value as advised by the external fund manager or third-party administrator. The investments in the funds are classified as Level 3.

ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED

4. INVESTMENTS—(Continued)

The real estate debt fund in which the Company invests has been valued based on the most recent published net asset value. This investment has been classified as Level 3.

The Company measures the fair value of its direct investment in CLO equities based on valuations provided by the Company’s external CLO equity manager or, if not available or if the investment does not involve an external CLO manager, by using an income approach based on certain observable and unobservable inputs. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s investments in CLO equities were valued using valuations provided by the external CLO equity manager. The Company’s CLO equities investments have been classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs in the valuation and the limited number of relevant trades in secondary markets.

In providing valuations, the CLO equity manager uses observable and unobservable inputs. Of the significant unobservable market inputs used by the CLO equity manager, the default and loss severity rates involve the most judgment and create the most sensitivity. A significant increase (or decrease) in either of these significant inputs in isolation would result in lower (or higher) fair value estimates for direct investments in the Company’s CLO equities and, in general, a change in default rate assumptions will be accompanied by a directionally similar change in loss severity rate assumptions. Collateral spreads and estimated maturity dates are less judgmental inputs because they are based on the historical average of actual spreads and the weighted average life of the current underlying portfolios, respectively. A significant increase (or decrease) in either of these significant inputs in isolation would result in higher (or lower) fair value estimates for direct investments in the Company’s CLO equities. In general, these inputs have no significant interrelationship with each other or with default and loss severity rates.

On a quarterly basis, the Company receives the valuation from the external CLO manager and then reviews the underlying cash flows and key assumptions used by the manager. The Company reviews and updates the significant unobservable inputs based on information obtained from secondary markets. These inputs are the responsibility of the Company and the Company assesses the reasonableness of the inputs (and if necessary, updates the inputs) through communicating with industry participants, monitoring of the transactions in which the Company participates (for example, to evaluate default and loss severity rate trends), and reviewing market conditions, historical results, and emerging trends that may impact future cash flows.

If valuations from the external CLO equity manager were not available or if the investment does not involve an external CLO manager, the Company would use an income approach based on certain observable and unobservable inputs to value these investments. Where an income approach is followed, the valuation is based on available trade information, such as expected cash flows and market assumptions on default and loss severity rates. Other inputs used in the valuation process include asset spreads, loan prepayment speeds, collateral spreads and estimated maturity dates.

The Company’s catastrophe bond is recorded at fair value based on broker or underwriter bid indications, and has been classified as Level 2. The Company’s remaining other investments have been valued based on the latest available capital statements, and have all been classified as Level 3.

Restricted Assets

The Company is required to maintain investments and cash and cash equivalents on deposit with various regulatory authorities to support its insurance and reinsurance operations. The investments and cash and cash equivalents on deposit are available to settle insurance and reinsurance liabilities. The Company also utilizes trust accounts to collateralize business with its insurance and reinsurance counterparties. These trust accounts generally take the place of letter of credit requirements. The assets in trusts as collateral are primarily highly rated fixed maturity securities. The carrying value of the Company’s restricted assets, including restricted cash of $514.5 million and $397.7 million, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:


	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013

The Company’s acquired insurance and reinsurance run-off subsidiaries, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of insurance and reinsurance assumed. The Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries remain liable to the extent that retrocessionaires do not meet their obligations under these agreements, and therefore, the Company evaluates and monitors concentration of credit risk among its reinsurers. Provisions are made for amounts considered potentially uncollectible (refer to note 19 for a description of the Company’s segments).

On an annual basis, both Torus and Atrium purchase a tailored outwards reinsurance program designed to manage their risk profiles. The majority of Atrium’s total third party reinsurance cover is with Lloyd’s Syndicates or other highly rated reinsurers. The majority of Torus’ total third party reinsurance cover is with highly rated reinsurers or is collateralized by letters of credit.

The fair value adjustments, determined on acquisition of insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, are based on the estimated timing of loss and loss adjustment expense recoveries and an assumed interest rate equivalent to a risk free rate for securities with similar duration to the reinsurance recoverables acquired plus a spread to reflect credit risk, and are amortized over the estimated recovery period, as adjusted for accelerations in timing of payments as a result of commutation settlements.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had, excluding reinsurance recoverables related to its life and annuities segment, reinsurance balances recoverable of $1.50 billion and $1.33 billion, respectively. The increase of $165.6 million in reinsurance balances recoverable was primarily a result of the Torus acquisition, partially offset by commutations and cash collections made during the period ended June 30, 2014.

As at June 30, 2014, the reinsurance balances recoverable associated with the Company’s life and annuities business consists of term life business ceded by Pavonia to reinsurers under various quota share arrangements. All of the reinsurers are rated A- and above by a major rating agency.

5. REINSURANCE BALANCES RECOVERABLE—(Continued)

For both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable relating to reinsurance balances recoverable was $338.6 million. To estimate the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable, the balances are first allocated to applicable reinsurers using management judgment. As part of this process, ceded incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves are allocated by reinsurer. The ratio of the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable (excluding provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable) as of June 30, 2014 decreased to 18.1% as compared to 19.9% as of December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of reinsurance balances recoverable of Torus acquired during the year that required minimal provisions for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable, and cash collections from reinsurers with minimal bad debt provisions.

Top Ten Reinsurers

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the top ten reinsurers of the Company’s business accounted for 61.9% and 68.3%, respectively, of total reinsurance balances recoverable (which includes total reinsurance reserves and paid losses recoverable) and included $329.5 million and $290.1 million, respectively, of IBNR reserves recoverable. With the exception of one non-rated reinsurer from which $189.3 million was recoverable (December 31, 2013: $256.2 million recoverable from one non-rated reinsurer and $41.1 million recoverable from one BBB+ rated reinsurer), the other top ten reinsurers, as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were all rated A- or better. Reinsurance balances recoverable by reinsurer were as follows:


	June 30, 2014					December 31, 2013
	Reinsurance Recoverables		% of Total			Reinsurance Recoverables		% of Total
Top 10 reinsurers	$	945,782		61.9	%	$	930,943		68.3	%
Other reinsurers’ balances > $1 million		569,859		37.3	%		423,013		31.0	%
Other reinsurers’ balances < $1 million		11,580		0.8	%		9,863		0.7	%

Total	$	1,527,221		100.0	%	$	1,363,819		100.0	%

As at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, reinsurance balances recoverable with a carrying value of $342.8 million and $256.2 million, respectively, were associated with two and one reinsurers, respectively, which represented 10% or more of total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable. One of the reinsurers accounting for $153.5 million of reinsurance balances recoverable as at June 30, 2014 was rated A+, while the remaining $189.3 million of reinsurance balances recoverable as at June 30, 2014 were secured by trust funds held for the benefit of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries.

Net change in case and LAE reserves comprises the movement during the period in specific case reserve liabilities as a result of claims settlements or changes advised to the Company by its policyholders and attorneys, less changes in case reserves recoverable advised by the Company to its reinsurers as a result of the settlement or movement of assumed claims. Net change in IBNR reserves represents the change in the Company’s actuarial estimates of losses incurred but not reported, less amounts recoverable.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $37.2 million included an increase in incurred losses of $10.2 million related to current period earned premium, related primarily to the portion of the run-off business acquired with Torus. Excluding current period incurred losses of $10.2 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $47.4 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $26.8 million, paid loss recoveries on bad debt provisions of $11.2 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $12.9 million, relating to 2014 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $3.5 million.

ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

6. LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES—(Continued)

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $26.8 million was primarily related to:

(i)

the Company’s quarterly review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $6.8 million;

(ii)

a reduction in IBNR reserves of $10.0 million primarily as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Company’s actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008. The prior period estimate of aggregate IBNR liabilities was reduced as a result of the continued favorable trend of loss development compared to prior forecasts; and

(iii)

favorable claims settlements during the three months ended June 30, 2014 resulting in a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of approximately $12.8 million.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $27.4 million included losses incurred of $35.5 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright Holdings, Inc. (“SeaBright”). Excluding SeaBright’s incurred losses of $35.5 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $62.9 million. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $48.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $16.8 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $2.4 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $48.5 million was due primarily to:

(i)

the Company’s review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $8.3 million;

(ii)

net favorable incurred loss development of $25.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $8.3 million) which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of the Company’s top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

(iii)

a reduction in IBNR reserves of $20.2 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Company’s actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in one of its Bermuda-based reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for this subsidiary was reduced as a result of the favorable trend of loss development during 2013 compared to prior forecasts.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $66.4 million included an increase in ultimate losses of $11.6 million related to current period earned premium, which was primarily with respect to the portion of the run-off business acquired with Torus. Excluding current period incurred losses of $11.6 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $78.0 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $40.3 million, paid loss recoveries on bad debt provisions of $11.2 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $26.2 million, relating to 2014 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $(0.3) million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $40.3 million was related primarily to:

(i)

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $18.3 million included incurred losses of $64.0 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBright’s incurred losses of $64.0 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $82.3 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $53.6 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $33.2 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $4.5 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $53.6 million was related primarily to:

(i)

(ii)

net incurred loss development of $1.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $16.6 million), which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of the Company’s top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

(iii)

12. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Redeemable noncontrolling interest (“RNCI”) comprises the ownership interest held by Trident in both Bayshore and Northshore. As of June 30, 2014, Trident’s RNCI was as follows:


	As at June 30, 2014
	Bayshore			Northshore
Trident		39.32	%		38.97	%

ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

12. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST—(Continued)

Northshore owns 100% of Atrium and Arden and Bayshore owns 100% of Torus. The RNCI is classified outside of permanent shareholders’ equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets due to the redemption rights held. The redemption rights held by Trident are described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company recognizes changes in the redemption value of the RNCI in Bayshore’s and Northshore’s earnings as if the balance sheet date was also the redemption date. As at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no adjustments recorded through retained earnings as the redemption value of Trident’s interests approximated their carrying values.

On March 30, 2014, Trident contributed $260.8 million to Bayshore in relation to its 40% share of both the purchase price of Torus and the transaction costs related to the acquisition. On May 8, 2014, Dowling purchased common shares of both Northshore and Bayshore from Kenmare and Trident (on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective interests) for an aggregate amount of $15.4 million. On April 30, 2014, the 2014 portion of time-based restricted shares of Northshore, awarded to Atrium employees vested, which resulted in a deemed capital contribution of $1.9 million. The impact on Trident of these transactions was to reduce its RNCI in both Bayshore and Northshore from 40% to 39.32% and 38.97%, respectively.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amount of the equity attributable to the RNCI is as follows:


Redeemable noncontrolling interest	Trident

At the Company’s annual general meeting on June 10, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the amendment to its bye-laws to create the Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, an additional series of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Voting Preferred Shares, the Non-Voting Preferred Shares held by First Reserve converted on a share-for share basis into Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares immediately following the annual general meeting.

Additionally, the amended bye-laws approved by the Company’s shareholders provide that all other Non-Voting Ordinary Shares authorized under the Company’s bye-laws but not classified as Series A, B, C or D Non-Voting Ordinary Shares will be classified as Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares.

The Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares:

•

have all of the economic rights (including dividend rights) attaching to Voting Ordinary Shares but are non-voting except in certain limited circumstances;

•

will automatically convert at a one-for-one exchange ratio (subject to adjustment for share splits, dividends, recapitalizations, consolidations or similar transactions) into Voting Ordinary Shares if the registered holder transfers them in a widely dispersed offering;

•

may only vote on matters as required under Bermuda law, and if required to vote under Bermuda law in connection with any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Company, would have aggregate voting power not to exceed 0.01% of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s issued share capital; and

•

require the registered holders’ written consent in order to vary the rights of the shares in a significant and adverse manner.

Series B, C and D Non-Voting Ordinary Shares are described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. No Series B or Series D Non-Voting Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding.

2006 Equity Incentive Plan

The employee share awards for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are summarized as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014					2013
	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Fair Value of the Award		Number of Shares			Weighted Average Fair Value of the Award
Nonvested—January 1		115,159		$	15,997		160,644		$	17,989
Granted		27,418			3,666		2,540			273
Vested		(45,559	)		6,091		(48,025	)		(5,571	)

Nonvested—June 30		97,018		$	14,624		115,159		$	15,314

The total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company’s non-vested share awards under the Equity Plan as at June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $6.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively. This cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.1 years. Compensation costs of $0.8 million and $1.5 million relating to these share awards were recognized in the Company’s statement of earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to costs of $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 24,412 and nil shares, respectively, were awarded to non-executive officer employees under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), in addition to the 3,006 and 2,540 shares issued related to the Company’s employee share purchase plan during the same periods, respectively.

Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted cash-settled stock appreciation right awards (“SARs”) under the Equity Plan. SARs give the holder the right, upon exercise, to receive in cash the difference between the market price per share of the Company’s ordinary shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the SARs. The exercise price of the SAR is equal to the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date of the grant. Vested SARs are exercisable for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant.

The Company has recorded compensation expense for the SARs based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions related to the expected stock price volatility, expected term, expected dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. SARs are liability-classified awards for which compensation expense and the liability are re-measured using the then-current Black Scholes assumptions at each interim reporting date based upon the portion of the requisite service period rendered.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 373,315 SARs to certain employees pursuant to the terms of the Equity Plan and recorded a compensation expense of $1.0 million in respect of the awards.

2011-2015 Annual Incentive Compensation Program

The accrued expense relating to the Enstar Group Limited 2011-2015 Annual Incentive Compensation Program for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $9.2 million and $14.4 million, respectively, as compared to of $1.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Enstar Group Limited Employee Share Purchase Plan

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, compensation costs of less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, relating to the shares issued under the Amended and Restated Enstar Group Limited Employee Share Purchase Plan (“Share Plan”) were recognized in the Company’s statement of earnings. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 3,006 and 2,540 shares, respectively, have been issued to employees under the Share Plan.

Deferred Compensation and Ordinary Share Plan for Non-Employee Directors

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 2,096 and 1,826 restricted share units, respectively, were credited to the accounts of non-employee directors under the Enstar Group Limited Deferred Compensation and Ordinary Share Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The Company recorded expenses related to the restricted share units for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as compared to of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Pension Plan

The Company provides pension benefits to eligible employees through various plans sponsored by the Company. All pension plans, except for the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan acquired in the Providence Washington transaction in 2010 (the “PWAC Plan”), are structured as defined contribution plans.

The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 over the same periods in 2013 was attributable to the increase in employee headcount (and associated additional defined contribution plan expense) as a result of the April 2014 acquisition of Torus and the November 2013 acquisition of Atrium.

The Company recorded pension expense relating to the PWAC Plan of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2013.

16. TAXATION—(Continued)

Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries are exempted from paying any taxes in Bermuda on their income or capital gains until March 2035.

The Company has operating subsidiaries and branch operations in the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and Europe and is subject to federal, foreign, state and local taxes in those jurisdictions. In addition, certain distributions from some foreign sources may be subject to withholding taxes.

The expected income tax provision for the foreign operations computed on pre-tax income at the weighted-average tax rate has been calculated as the sum of the pre-tax income in each jurisdiction multiplied by that jurisdiction’s applicable statutory tax rate.

The actual income tax rate differed from the amount computed by applying the effective rate of 0% under Bermuda law to earnings before income taxes as shown in the following reconciliation:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Earnings before income tax	$	62,761		$	29,740		$	103,449		$	50,569

Expected tax rate		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%
Foreign taxes at local expected rates		16.8	%		(66.6	)%		17.0	%		(24.5	)%
Change in uncertain tax positions		0.0	%		(1.0	)%		(2.2	)%		(5.3	)%
Change in valuation allowance		(3.5	)%		84.2	%		0.1	%		54.8	%
Other		0.2	%		(1.3	)%		0.3	%		(0.5	)%

Effective tax rate		13.5	%		15.3	%		15.2	%		24.5	%

The Company has estimated future taxable income of its foreign subsidiaries and has provided a valuation allowance in respect of those loss carryforwards where it does not expect to realize a benefit. The Company has considered all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard in determining the amount of the valuation allowance.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $nil million and $2.2 million relating to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there were certain reductions to unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2 million due to the expiration of statutes of limitation.

The Company’s operating subsidiaries in specific countries may be subject to audit by various tax authorities and may have different statutes of limitations expiration dates. With limited exceptions, the Company’s major subsidiaries that operate in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia are no longer subject to tax examinations for years before 2010, 2010 and 2007, respectively.

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s portfolio of cash and fixed maturity investments is managed pursuant to guidelines that follow what it believes are prudent standards of diversification. The guidelines limit the allowable holdings of a single issue and issuers, and as a result the Company does not believe that there are any significant concentrations of credit risk associated with its portfolio of cash and fixed maturity investments.

The Company’s portfolio of other investments is managed pursuant to guidelines that emphasize diversification and liquidity. Pursuant to these guidelines, the Company manages and monitors risk across a variety of investment funds and vehicles, markets and counterparties. The Company believes that there are no significant concentrations of credit risk associated with its other investments.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s investments are held by 33 different custodians. These custodians are all large financial institutions that are highly regulated.

19. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company previously monitored and reported its results of operations in three segments: non-life run-off, life and annuities, and active underwriting. The active underwriting segment was primarily comprised of the results of operations of Atrium and Arden. As a result of the acquisition of Torus on April 1, 2014, the Company began reporting and monitoring its results of operations in four segments:

(i)

Non-life run-off—The Company’s non-life run-off segment comprises the operations and financial results of our subsidiaries that are running off their property and casualty and other non-life lines of business together with the run-off businesses of Arden and Torus. It also includes the Company’s smaller management business, in which it manages the run-off portfolios of third parties through the Company’s service companies.

(ii)

Atrium—Atrium is an underwriting business at Lloyd’s of London, which manages Syndicate 609 and provides approximately 25% of the syndicate’s underwriting capacity and capital (with the balance provided by traditional Lloyd’s Names). Atrium specializes in accident and health, aviation, marine, property, non-marine property, professional liability, property and casualty binding authorities, reinsurance, upstream energy, war and terrorism insurance, cargo and fine art. Arden is a Bermuda-based reinsurance company that provides reinsurance to Atrium (through an approximately 65% quota share reinsurance arrangement with Atrium 5 Ltd, an Atrium subsidiary) and is currently in the process of running off certain other third-party business. Results related to Arden’s run-off business are included within the Company’s non-life run-off segment.

(iii)

Torus—Torus is a global specialty insurer that offers a diverse range of property, casualty and specialty insurance through its operations in the U.K., Continental Europe, the U.S. and Bermuda. The activities of this segment comprise the active underwriting business of Torus.

(iv)

Life and annuities—The Company’s life and annuities segment comprises the operations and financial results of its subsidiaries that are operating its closed-block of life and annuity business, which primarily consists of the companies it acquired in the Pavonia acquisition on March 31, 2013.

Atrium and Torus are reported as separate segments because they are managed and operated in separate and distinct manners. Atrium’s senior management runs its day-to-day operations with limited involvement of the Company’s senior management, whereas the Company’s senior management and employees are involved in Torus’ day-to-day operations. Atrium employees are not involved in the management or strategy of Torus, nor are Torus employees involved in the management or strategy of Atrium. Atrium and Torus are monitored and reported upon separately and distinctly and their strategies and business plans are determined independently of each other.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Enstar Group Limited:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Enstar Group Limited and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Enstar Group Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended; and in our report dated March 3, 2014, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Business Overview

Enstar Group Limited, or Enstar, is a Bermuda-based holding company that was formed in 2001 and became publicly traded in 2007. We are listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “ESGR.” Enstar and our operating subsidiaries acquire and manage diversified insurance businesses through a network of service companies in Bermuda, the United States, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Australia, and other international locations.

Our primary corporate objective is growing our net book value per share. We believe this is driven primarily by growth in our net earnings, which is in turn driven in large part by successfully completing new acquisitions, effectively managing companies and portfolios of business that we have acquired, and executing on our active underwriting strategies.

Our core focus is acquiring and managing insurance and reinsurance companies in run-off and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business in run-off, and providing management, consulting and other services to the insurance and reinsurance industry. Since our formation, we have completed the acquisition of over 60 insurance and reinsurance companies and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business and are now administering those businesses. This includes 13 Reinsurance to Close, or “RITC” transactions, with Lloyd’s of London insurance and reinsurance syndicates in run-off, whereby the portfolio of run-off liabilities is transferred from one Lloyd’s syndicate to another.

The substantial majority of our acquisitions have been in the non-life run-off business, which for us generally includes property and casualty, workers’ compensation, asbestos and environmental, construction defect, marine, aviation and transit, and other closed business. In recent years, we

diversified our portfolio of run-off businesses to include closed life and annuities, primarily through our acquisition of the U.S. life and annuities operations of HSBC Holdings plc (which we now refer to as Pavonia). In addition to portfolio diversification, we believe our life and annuities business has the potential to provide us with a more regular earnings and cash flow stream, which may, to a degree, counter some of the volatility inherent in our core non-life run-off business over the long term.

In 2013, we entered the active underwriting business through our acquisitions of approximately 60% interests in Atrium Underwriting Group Limited (or Atrium) on November 25, 2013 and Arden Reinsurance Company Ltd (or Arden) on September 9, 2013. Atrium’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Atrium Underwriters Ltd, manages and underwrites specialist insurance and reinsurance business for Lloyd’s Syndicate 609. Atrium’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Atrium 5 Ltd, provides approximately 25% of the underwriting capacity and capital to Syndicate 609, with the balance provided by traditional Lloyd’s Names. Arden provides reinsurance to Atrium 5 Ltd. through an approximate 65% quota share reinsurance arrangement, and is currently in the process of running off certain other portfolios of run-off business.

On April 1, 2014, we acquired Torus Insurance Holdings Limited (or Torus). Torus is an A- rated global specialty insurer with multiple global underwriting platforms, including Lloyd’s Syndicate 1301. Torus offers a diverse range of property, casualty and specialty insurance through its operations in the U.K., Continental Europe, the U.S. and Bermuda. Prior to acquisition, Torus ceased underwriting certain lines of business in order to focus on core property, casualty and specialty lines. The results of the discontinued lines of business which were placed into run-off are included within our non-life run-off segment. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, a Fitzwilliam Insurance Limited segregated cell, of which Enstar owns 60% and Trident owns 40%, entered into a 100% quota share reinsurance of Torus’ non-life run-off reserves with effect from January 1, 2014.

We believe that Torus and Atrium, our active underwriting businesses, provide an additional earnings stream, and also enhance our ability to compete for non-life run-off and other acquisition targets by providing opportunities for us to offer, through Torus, renewal rights or loss portfolio reinsurance transactions in connection with such acquisitions, which may be attractive to certain vendors or may present alternative ways in which proposed transactions can be structured.

Overall, Enstar has four segments of business that are each managed, operated and reported on differently: (i) Non-life run-off; (ii) Atrium; (iii) Torus; and (iv) Life and annuities.

The table below summarizes the total number of employees we had as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 by operating segment:


	2014		2013
Non-life run-off		515		529

Key Performance Indicator

Our primary corporate objective is growing our net book value per share. We increased our book value per share on a fully diluted basis by $8.74 from $105.20 per share, as at December 31, 2013, to $113.94, as at June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of voting and non-voting shares with a value of approximately $356.1 million to certain shareholders of Torus upon completion of the Torus acquisition, as well as net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Acquisitions

Torus Insurance Holdings Limited

On April 1, 2014, Kenmare Holdings Ltd. (or Kenmare), our wholly-owned subsidiary, together with Trident V, L.P., Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P. and Trident V Professionals Fund, L.P., which are managed by Stone Point Capital LLC (or collectively, Trident), completed the acquisition of Torus. At closing, Torus became directly owned by Bayshore Holdings Ltd. (or Bayshore), which was 60% owned by Kenmare and 40% owned by Trident.

The purchase price for Torus was established in the amended and restated amalgamation agreement as $646.0 million, to be paid partly in cash and partly in Enstar’s stock. The number of Enstar shares to be issued was fixed at the signing of the amalgamation agreement on July 8, 2013 and was determined by reference to an agreed-upon value per share of $132.448, which was the average closing price of our voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share (or the Voting Ordinary Shares), over the 20 trading days prior to such signing date. On the day before closing of the amalgamation, the Voting Ordinary Shares had a closing price of $136.31 per share. At closing, we contributed cash of $41.6 million towards the purchase price and $3.6 million towards related transaction expenses, as well as 1,898,326 Voting Ordinary Shares and 714,015 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock (or the Non-Voting Preferred Shares). Based on a price of $136.31 per share, our contribution of cash and shares to the purchase price totaled $397.7 million in the aggregate. Trident contributed cash of $258.4 million towards the purchase price and $2.4 million towards related transaction expenses. Based on a price of $136.31 per share, the aggregate purchase price paid by us and Trident was $656.1 million.

FR XI Offshore AIV, L.P., First Reserve Fund XII, L.P., FR XII A Parallel Vehicle L.P. and FR Torus Co-Investment, L.P. (or collectively, First Reserve) received 1,501,211 Voting Ordinary Shares, 714,015 Non-Voting Preferred Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. Following the approval of our shareholders of an amendment to our bye-laws on June 10, 2014, First Reserve’s Non-Voting Preferred Shares converted on a share-for-share basis into 714,015 shares of newly created Series E Non-Voting Convertible Ordinary Shares, or the Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares. Corsair Specialty Investors, L.P. (or Corsair) received 397,115 Voting Ordinary Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. The remaining Torus shareholders received all cash. As a result of the amalgamation, First Reserve now owns approximately 9.5% and 11.5%, respectively, of our Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital.

Upon the closing of the Torus acquisition, Bayshore, Kenmare and Trident entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement, which was subsequently amended, as described in “Dowling Co-investments in Bayshore and Northshore” below.

In satisfaction of certain of our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement we entered into with First Reserve and Corsair at the closing of the Amalgamation, we filed a resale shelf registration statement with the SEC on April 29, 2014 with respect to the Voting Ordinary Shares (including the Voting Ordinary Shares into which the Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares may convert) that we issued pursuant to the amalgamation.

Changes in Ownership Interests relating to Holding Companies for our Active Underwriting Businesses

Atrium Employee Equity Awards

On April 17, 2014, Northshore Holdings Ltd. (or Northshore), the parent company of Atrium and Arden, implemented long-term incentive plans that awarded time-based restricted shares of Northshore to certain Atrium employees. These equity awards will have the effect of modestly reducing

Kenmare’s equity interest in Northshore (as well as Trident’s equity interest) over the course of the vesting periods as Atrium employees acquire shares. Shares generally vest over two or three years, although certain awards began vesting in 2014.

Dowling Co-investments in Bayshore and Northshore Holdings Ltd.

On May 8, 2014, Dowling Capital Partners I, L.P. (or Dowling), purchased common shares of both Bayshore and Northshore from Kenmare and Trident (on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective interests) for an aggregate amount of $15.4 million.

In connection with the sale of Bayshore shares, the Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement was amended and restated. The Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement, among other things, provides that Kenmare has the right to appoint three members to the Bayshore board of directors and Trident has the right to appoint two members. The Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders’ Agreement includes a five-year period, or the “Restricted Period,” during which no shareholder can transfer its ownership interest in Bayshore to a third party unless approved by a super-majority of the shareholders. Following the Restricted Period: (i) each shareholder must offer Kenmare and Trident the right to buy its shares before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require each other shareholder to participate in a sale of Bayshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Bayshore held by Kenmare and Trident; (iii) each shareholder has the right to be included on a pro rata basis in any sales made by another shareholder; and (iv) each of Kenmare, Trident and Dowling has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Bayshore.

Significant New Business

Reciprocal of America

estimated total liabilities to be assumed are approximately $164.5 million, with an equivalent amount of assets to be received as consideration. Completion of the transaction is conditioned upon, among other things, regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2014.

Shelbourne RITC Transactions

Effective January 1, 2014, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 (or S2008), which is managed by our wholly-owned subsidiary and Lloyd’s managing agent, Shelbourne Syndicate Services Limited, entered into a reinsurance to close contract of the 2011 and prior underwriting year of account of another Lloyd’s syndicate, under which S2008 assumed total net insurance reserves of approximately £17.0 million (approximately $28.1 million) for consideration of an equal amount.

Effective December 31, 2012, S2008 entered into a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement with another Lloyd’s syndicate in respect of its 2009 and prior years of account (or the 2009 Liabilities), under which S2008 assumed total gross insurance reserves of approximately £193.0 million (approximately $313.3 million) for consideration of an equal amount. Effective January 1, 2014, the 2012 Lloyd’s underwriting year of account of S2008 entered into a partial RITC transaction with respect to the 2009 Liabilities.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis includes forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and in “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $54.3 million and $87.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $25.2 million and $38.2 million for the same periods in 2013. Our comparative results were impacted by our 2013 and 2014 acquisitions, among other factors. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, we completed the acquisitions of Arden (on September 9, 2013), Atrium (on November 25, 2013) and Torus (on April 1, 2014). Our comparative results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were also impacted by our March 31, 2013 acquisition of Pavonia.

The change in consolidated net earnings for the three and six month periods was attributable primarily to the following:

Net premiums earned – Combined net premiums earned for our four operating segments were $216.9 million and $278.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $75.6 million and $107.3 million for the same periods in 2013. The significant increase in 2014 was due primarily to the net premiums earned by Torus and Atrium, partially offset by a reduction in net premiums earned by SeaBright during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as described in greater detail in the segment discussion below.

Net investment income – Net investment income was $33.6 million and $58.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $27.3 million and $45.2 million for the same periods in 2013. The increase in each of the periods during 2014 was largely attributable to the net investment income earned on a larger base of cash and fixed maturity investments as a result of the Arden, Atrium and Torus transactions (as well as the Pavonia transaction with respect to the increase during the six month period), although this was partially offset by lower reinvestment yields on new purchases of fixed maturity investments.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) – Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) were $38.4 million and $73.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $(27.9) million and $2.2 million for the same periods in 2013. The increase in net realized and unrealized gains between the 2014 and 2013 periods was attributable primarily to an increase in realized and unrealized gains on fixed income securities in each of our operating segments due primarily to marginal decreases in U.S. investment yields for 2014 (particularly in longer dated fixed maturity investments) as compared to increases in yields for 2013.

Net increase (reduction) in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities – For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 net ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities increased by $59.7 million and $47.7 million, respectively, compared to reductions of $27.4 million and $18.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The total increase of $87.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the comparative period in 2013 was due primarily to increases in net ultimate losses of $16.6 million relating to Atrium and $80.3 million relating to Torus. The total increase of $66.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 2013 was due to increases in net ultimate losses of $33.7 million relating to Atrium and $80.3 million relating to Torus, partially offset by a $48.1 million larger reduction in the non-life run-off segment in 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.

Acquisition costs – Acquisition costs were $50.4 million and $63.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $9.6 million and $12.0 million for the same periods in 2013. The significant increase for 2014 was due to the acquisition costs associated with the net premiums earned by Atrium and Torus.

Life and annuity policy benefits – Life and annuity policy benefits were $27.7 million and $54.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $25.6 million and $26.3 million for the same periods in 2013. The significant increase for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 was due primarily to the acquisition of Pavonia on March 31, 2013. The movements for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 related entirely to our life and annuities segment and are described in greater detail in the segment discussion below.

Salaries and benefits – Salaries and benefits were $55.7 million and $87.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $25.7 million and $49.3 million for the same periods in 2013. These increases were due predominantly to the salaries and benefits costs associated with our increased head count relating to the Atrium and Torus acquisitions, as well as the Pavonia acquisition that was completed during the six-month period in 2013, in addition to an increase in our bonus accrual amount for 2014 due to higher net earnings.

General and administrative expenses – General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were $37.2 million and $59.4 million, respectively, compared to $20.0 million and $37.9 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2013. The increases were due principally to the acquisition expenses associated with the Arden, Atrium and Torus acquisitions.

Income tax expense – Income tax expenses were $8.5 million and $15.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $4.5 million and $12.4 million for the same periods in 2013. Income tax expense is generated through our foreign operations outside of Bermuda, principally in the United States, U.K and Australia. Our income tax expense may fluctuate significantly from period to period depending on the geographic distribution of pre-tax earnings or loss in any given period between different jurisdictions with different tax rates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the effective tax rate was 13.5% and 15.2%, respectively, compared to 15.3% and 24.5% for the same periods in 2013. The lower effective tax rate for the six months ended

June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was attributable to higher earnings in our non-tax paying subsidiaries.

Noncontrolling interest – Noncontrolling interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $3.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, relative to the same periods for 2013. The decrease was attributable primarily to losses associated with our active underwriting companies (in which there are redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests), which were acquired subsequent to June 30, 2013.

Summary Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

In our non-life run-off segment, we reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $60.1 million and $27.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The increase in earnings of $33.1 million was attributable primarily to the following:

(i)

an increase in net realized and unrealized gains of $48.2 million;

(ii)

an increase in fees and commission income of $8.7 million; and

(iii)

an increase in investment income of $5.1 million; partially offset by

(iv)

a decrease of $15.5 million in net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities related to prior periods;

(v)

a decrease in net foreign exchange gains of $7.8 million; and

(vi)

an increase in salaries and benefits of $6.8 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 the total of: (i) net premiums earned of $17.1 million; less (ii) current period increase in net ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $10.2 million; and less (iii) acquisition costs of $5.7 million amounted to $1.2 million and primarily related to the Torus run-off business. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 the total of: (i) net premiums earned of $41.2 million; less (ii) current period increase in net ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $35.3 million; and less (iii) acquisition costs of $5.7 million, amounted to $nil million and related to SeaBright.

Noncontrolling interest in earnings for the non-life run-off segment decreased by $0.4 million to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of lower earnings in those companies in which there are noncontrolling interests. Net earnings for the non-life run-off segment attributable to Enstar Group Limited increased by $33.5 million, or 159.5%, from $21.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $54.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Net Premiums Earned:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014			*Variance*			2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Gross premiums written	$	6,720					$	4,444
Ceded reinsurance premiums written		(904	)					(3,274	)

Net premiums written		5,816		$	4,646			1,170

Gross premiums earned		22,406						45,414
Ceded reinsurance premiums earned		(5,322	)					(4,198	)

Net premiums earned	$	17,084		$	(24,132	)	$	41,216

Premiums Written

Gross non-life run-off premiums written consist of direct premiums written and premiums assumed by Torus’ run-off business and SeaBright. Upon acquisition, SeaBright was placed into run-off and, as a result, stopped writing new insurance policies.

We would expect to have in future periods relatively low levels of gross and net premiums written relating to the Torus run-off business.

Premiums Earned

Gross non-life run-off premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $22.4 million and $45.4 million, respectively. Ceded reinsurance premiums earned for the three

months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $5.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Accordingly, net premiums earned for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $17.1 million and $41.2 million, respectively.

Premiums written and earned in 2014 primarily relate to the Torus’ run-off business whereas premiums written and earned in 2013 relate to SeaBright.

Fees and Commission Income:



	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*		2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Internal		10,183				576
External		2,035				2,960

Total	$	12,218	$	8,682	$	3,536

Our management companies in the non-life run-off segment earned fees and commission income of approximately $12.2 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in fees and commission income of $8.7 million related primarily to management fees charged to our Torus segment. These internal fees are eliminated upon consolidation of our results of operations. While our consulting subsidiaries continue to provide management and consultancy services, claims inspection services and reinsurance collection services to third-party clients in limited circumstances, the core focus of these subsidiaries is providing in-house services to companies within the Enstar group.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses):


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	Net Investment Income						Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)
	2014		*Variance*		2013		2014		*Variance*		2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	22,267	$	5,087	$	17,180	$	30,926	$	48,164	$	(17,238	)

Net investment income for the non-life run-off segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $5.1 million to $22.3 million, as compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily a result of higher investment balances due to assets acquired in respect of the Torus run-off business.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the non-life run-off segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $30.9 million and $(17.2) million, respectively. The increase of $48.2 million was primarily attributable to:

(i)

gains of $9.9 million in relation to the fixed maturity investments of the segment due primarily to marginal declines in the longer end of the U.S. yield curve for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to losses of $31.5 million for the same period in 2013 due to increases across the U.S. yield curve during that time; and

(ii)

an increase of $6.1 million in realized and unrealized gains on the private equity and other investment holdings of the segment.

Annualized Returns

The below table presents the annualized investment returns (inclusive of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains (losses)) earned by the non-life run-off segment on its cash and investments for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:


	Annualized Return						Average Cash and Investment Balances
	Annualized Return						Average Cash and Investment Balances
	2014			2013			2014		2013

Combined overall		4.45	%		(0.01)	%		4,780,828		4,185,064

The average credit ratings by fair value of our fixed maturity investments for our non-life run-off segment as at June 30, 2014 and 2013 were AA- and A+, respectively.

Net (Reduction) Increase in Ultimate Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense Liabilities:

The following table shows the components of the movement in the net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the non-life run-off segment for the three months ended June 30 2014 and 2013 (a reclassification of $5.7 million was made from 2013 current period net losses paid to acquisition costs in order to conform to current year presentation):

Net change in case and LAE reserves comprise the movement during the period in specific case reserve liabilities as a result of claims settlements or changes advised to us by our policyholders and attorneys, less changes in case reserves recoverable advised by us to our reinsurers as a result of the

settlement or movement of assumed claims. Net change in incurred but not reported, or IBNR, reserves represents the change in our actuarial estimates of losses incurred but not reported, less amounts recoverable.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $37.2 million included an increase in incurred losses of $10.2 million related to current period earned premium, related primarily to the portion of the run-off business acquired with Torus. Excluding current period incurred losses of $10.2 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $47.4 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $26.8 million, paid loss recoveries on bad debt provisions of $11.2 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $12.9 million, relating to 2014 runoff activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $3.5 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $26.8 million was related primarily to:

(i)

our quarterly review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $6.8 million;

(ii)

a reduction in IBNR reserves of $10.0 million primarily as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of our actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities was reduced as a result of the continued favorable trend of loss development compared to prior forecasts; and

(iii)

favorable claims settlements during the three months ended June 30, 2014 resulting in a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of approximately $12.8 million.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $27.4 million included losses incurred of $35.5 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBright’s incurred losses of $35.5 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $62.9 million. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $48.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $16.8 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $2.4 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $48.5 million was due primarily to:

(i)

our review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $8.3 million;

(ii)

net favorable incurred loss development of $25.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $8.3 million) which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of our top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

(iii)

a reduction in IBNR reserves of $20.2 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of our actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in one of our Bermuda-based reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for this subsidiary was reduced as a result of the favorable trend of loss development during 2013 compared to prior forecasts.

Salaries and Benefits:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*			2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	31,463	$	(6,837	)	$	24,626

Salaries and benefits for the non-life run-off segment, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $31.5 million and $24.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in salaries and benefits was related primarily to:

(i)

an increase in the discretionary bonus provision of approximately $4.3 million due to the increase in net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 2013. Expenses relating to our discretionary bonus plan will be variable and are dependent on our overall profitability; and

(ii)

an increase in total salaries effective April 1, 2014, following a salary review across the segment, as compared to the same period in 2013 when a salary freeze had generally been in effect; partially offset by

(iii)

a reduction in our average head count in our non-life run-off segment from approximately 568 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to approximately 517 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Net Foreign Exchange Gains:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*			2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	632	$	(7,818	)	$	8,450

We recorded net foreign exchange gains for the non-life run-off segment of $0.6 million and $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The net foreign exchange gains for the three months ended June 30, 2013 arose primarily as a result of holding surplus U.S. dollar assets in one of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is Australian dollars at a time when the Australian dollar depreciated sharply against the U.S. dollar.

In addition to the net foreign exchange gains recorded in our consolidated statement of earnings, we recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income currency translation adjustment gains (losses), net of noncontrolling interest, related to our non-life run-off segment of $2.1 million and $(12.5) million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the currency translation adjustments related primarily to our Australian-based subsidiaries. As the functional currency of these subsidiaries are Australian dollars, we record any U.S. dollar gains or losses on the translation of their net Australian dollar assets through accumulated other comprehensive income.

Income Tax Expense:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*			2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	5,223	$	(689	)	$	4,534

We recorded income tax expense for the non-life run-off segment of $5.2 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Income tax expense is generated primarily through our foreign operations outside of Bermuda, principally in the United States, Europe and Australia. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as income tax expense or benefit divided by income before tax, is driven primarily by the geographic distribution of pre-tax net income between jurisdictions with comparatively higher tax rates and those with comparatively lower income tax rates and as a result may fluctuate significantly from period to period.

The effective tax rate was 7.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared with 14.4% for same period in 2013, associated primarily with us having proportionately higher net income in our non-tax paying subsidiaries than in the prior period.

Noncontrolling Interest:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*		2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	5,574	$	427	$	6,001

We recorded a noncontrolling interest in earnings of the non-life run-off segment of $5.6 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was due primarily to the decrease in earnings for those companies in our non-life run-off segment where there exists a noncontrolling interest.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

The following is a discussion and analysis of the results of operations for our non-life run-off segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 which are summarized below:

Summary Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

In our non-life run-off segment, we reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $88.8 million and $41.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The increase in earnings of $46.8 million was attributable primarily to the following:

(i)

an increase in net realized and unrealized gains of $47.5 million;

(ii)

an increase in fees and commission income of $9.0 million; and

(iii)

a reduction in income taxes of $3.5 million; partially offset by

(iv)

an increase in salaries and benefits of $9.2 million;

(v)

a decrease of $4.3 million in net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities related to prior periods; and

(vi)

a net foreign exchange loss of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to a net foreign exchange gain of $3.5 million for the same period in 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 the total of: (i) net premiums earned of $19.6 million; less (ii) current period increase in net ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $11.6 million; and less (iii) acquisition costs of $5.7 million amounted to $1.2 million and primarily related to the Torus run-off business. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 the total of: (i) net premiums earned of $72.1 million; less (ii) current period increase in net ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $64.0 million; and less (iii) acquisition costs of $8.1 million, amounted to $nil million and related to SeaBright.

Noncontrolling interest in earnings for the non-life run-off segment increased by $1.6 million to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of higher earnings in those companies in which there are noncontrolling interests. Net earnings for the non-life run-off segment attributable to Enstar Group Limited increased by $45.2 million, or 129.5%, from $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $80.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Premiums Earned

Gross non-life run-off premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $25.2 million and $79.5 million, respectively. Ceded reinsurance premiums earned for the six months

ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $5.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Accordingly, net premiums earned for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $19.6 million and $72.1 million, respectively.

Internal	$	10,961			$	757
External		4,212				5,407

Total	$	15,173	$	9,009	$	6,164

Our management companies in the non-life run-off segment earned fees and commission income of approximately $15.2 million and $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in fees and commission income of $9.0 million related primarily to management fees charged to our Torus segment. These internal fees are eliminated upon consolidation of our results of operations.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	Net Investment Income						Net Realized and Unrealized Gains

Total	$	36,600	$	1,729	$	34,871	$	60,555	$	47,515	$	13,040

Net investment income for the non-life run-off segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $1.7 million to $36.6 million, as compared to $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily a result of higher investment balances due to assets acquired in respect of the Torus run-off business.

Net realized and unrealized gains for the non-life run-off segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $60.6 million and $13.1 million, respectively. The increase of $47.5 million was attributable primarily to the combination of the following items:

(i)

gains of $18.1 million in relation to fixed maturity investments of the segment due primarily to declines in the longer end of the U.S. yield curve for the year to date as compared to losses of $29.8 million for the same period in 2013 due to increases across the U.S. yield curve; and

(ii)

an increase of $4.0 million in realized and unrealized gains on the private equity and other investment holdings of the segment; partially offset by

(iii)

a decrease of $4.4 million in realized and unrealized gains on our equity portfolios as equity markets generally continued to advance in 2014, but not to the same extent as for the same period in 2013.

Annualized Returns

The below table presents the annualized investment returns (inclusive of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains) earned by the non-life run-off segment on its cash and investments for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $66.4 million included an increase in incurred losses of $11.6 million related to

current period earned premium, which was primarily with respect to the portion of the run-off business acquired with Torus. Excluding current period incurred losses of $11.6 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $78.0 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $40.3 million, paid loss recoveries on bad debt provisions of $11.2 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $26.2 million, relating to 2014 runoff activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $(0.3) million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $40.3 million was related primarily to:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

favorable claims settlements during the six months ended June 30, 2014 resulting in a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of approximately $19.5 million.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $53.6 million was related primarily to:

(i)

(ii)

net incurred loss development of $1.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $16.6 million) which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of our top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and

(iii)

IBNR liabilities for this subsidiary was reduced as a result of the favorable trend of loss development during 2013 compared to prior forecasts.

Acquisition Costs:

	2014		*Variance*		2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	5,652	$	2,447	$	8,099

Acquisition costs for the non-life run-off segment were $5.7 million and $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Acquisition costs are directly related to the amount of net premiums earned by us which, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, directly related to the portion of Torus’ business that was placed into run-off and, for the same period in 2013, directly related only to SeaBright. A reclassification of $8.1 million was made from 2013 current period net losses paid to acquisition costs in order to conform to current year presentation.

Salaries and Benefits:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*			2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	57,311	$	(9,221	)	$	48,090

Salaries and benefits for the non-life run-off segment, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $57.3 million and $48.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in salaries and benefits was related primarily to:

(i)

an increase in the discretionary bonus provision of approximately $8.2 million due to the increase in net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 2013. Expenses relating to our discretionary bonus plan will be variable and are dependent on our overall profitability; and

(ii)

(iii)

a reduction in our average headcount in our non-life segment from approximately 562 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to approximately 520 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Net Foreign Exchange (Losses) Gains:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			*Variance*			2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	(1,498	)	$	(5,012	)	$	3,514

We recorded net foreign exchange (losses) gains for the non-life run-off segment of $(1.5) million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The net foreign exchange losses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 arose primarily as a result of the holding of surplus U.S. dollar assets by our Australian subsidiary at a time when the Australian dollar had

appreciated against the U.S. dollar. The net foreign exchange gains for the six months ended June 30, 2013 arose principally as a result of the holding of surplus U.S. dollar assets by our Australian subsidiary at a time when the Australian dollar had depreciated against the U.S. dollar.

In addition to the net foreign exchange (losses) gains recorded in our consolidated statement of earnings, we recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income currency translation adjustment gains, net of noncontrolling interest, related to our non-life run-off segment of $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to losses, net of noncontrolling interest, of $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. For both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the currency translation adjustments related primarily to our Australian-based subsidiaries.

Income Tax Expense:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*		2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	8,874	$	3,484	$	12,358

We recorded income tax expense for the non-life run-off segment of $8.9 million and $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in income taxes of $3.5 million was due principally to decreased pre-tax net income recorded in our U.S. and U.K.-based subsidiaries.

The effective tax rate was 9.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared with 22.8% for the same period in 2013. In 2014, we had proportionately greater net income in our non-tax paying subsidiaries than in the prior period.

Noncontrolling Interest:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*			2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	8,645	$	(1,618	)	$	7,027

We recorded a noncontrolling interest in earnings of the non-life run-off segment of $8.6 million and $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was due primarily to the increase in earnings for those companies where there exists a noncontrolling interest.

Atrium Segment

Our Atrium segment is comprised of the operations and financial results of Northshore, a holding company that owns Atrium and its subsidiaries (acquired November 25, 2013) and Arden (acquired September 9, 2013). Arden provides quota share reinsurance to Atrium. This quota share arrangement is eliminated upon consolidation.

Results related to Arden’s run-off lines of business are included within our non-life run-off segment. Atrium’s subsidiary, Atrium Underwriters Ltd., or AUL, is the managing agent for Lloyd’s Syndicate 609. AUL earns fees and profit commissions on business underwritten for the Syndicate. Atrium’s subsidiary, Atrium 5 Ltd, impacts our results with respect to the 25% underwriting capacity and capital it provides to Syndicate 609. The remaining underwriting capacity is provided by traditional Lloyd’s Names.

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the Atrium segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, which are summarized below:

(1)	Loss ratio is obtained by dividing net increase in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities by net premiums earned.

(2)	Acquisition cost ratio is obtained by dividing acquisition costs by net premiums earned.

(3)

Other operating expense ratio is obtained by dividing the sum of general and administrative expenses and salaries and benefits attributable to Atrium by net premiums earned. Other operating expense ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the general and administrative expenses of the Atrium segment holding companies. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure would be to include these holding company expenses, which would result in a ratio of

24.2% and 23.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information on this ratio.

(4)	Our combined ratio is the sum of: (i) our loss ratio, (ii) our acquisition cost ratio and (iii) our other operating expense ratio (which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as described in footnote 3). Our historical combined ratio may not be indicative of future underwriting performance.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

For the Atrium segment, we reported net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The results were primarily driven by:

(i)

net underwriting result of $6.2 million (net premiums earned of $34.0 million less $16.6 million in net increase in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities and $11.2 million of acquisition costs);

(ii)

fees and commission income of $5.5 million; and

(iii)

net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains of $0.5 million; partially offset by

(iv)

salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses of $8.2 million;

(v)

interest expense of $1.2 million; and

(vi)

income taxes of $1.3 million.

Noncontrolling interest in earnings of the Atrium segment of $1.3 million resulted in net earnings attributable to Enstar Group Limited of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The noncontrolling interests’ share of earnings is greater than their 41.54% share of the Atrium segment’s net earnings primarily due to interest expense in respect of borrowings under our revolving credit facility that are recorded within the Atrium segment and 100% attributable to us.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

For the Atrium segment, we reported net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The results were primarily driven by:

(i)

net underwriting result of $12.2 million (net premiums earned of $66.6 million less $33.7 million in net increase in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities and $20.7 million of acquisition costs);

(ii)

fees and commission income of $10.3 million; and

(iii)

net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains of $0.9 million; partially offset by

(iv)

salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses of $15.8 million;

(v)

interest expense of $2.4 million; and

(vi)

income taxes of $2.6 million.

Noncontrolling interest in earnings of the Atrium segment of $2.4 million resulted in net earnings attributable to Enstar Group Limited of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The noncontrolling interests’ share of earnings is greater than their 41.54% share of the Atrium segment’s net earnings primarily due to interest expense in respect of borrowings under our revolving credit facility that are recorded within the segment and 100% attributable to us.

For 2014, we expect the income and expenses associated with the Atrium segment to increase as compared to 2013 as a result of owning these companies for a full year. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in 2014 will be dependent on the level of earnings for these companies.

Torus Segment

Our Torus segment is comprised of the operations and financial results of Bayshore, a holding company that owns Torus and its subsidiaries. Results related to Torus’ run-off lines of business are included within our non-life run-off segment.

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for Torus for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, which are summarized below.

(1)	Loss ratio is obtained by dividing net increase in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities by net premiums earned.

(2)	Acquisition cost ratio is obtained by dividing acquisition costs by net premiums earned.

(3)

Other operating expense ratio is obtained by dividing the sum of general and administrative expenses and salaries and benefits attributable to Torus by net premiums earned. Other operating expense ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the general and administrative and salaries and benefits expenses of the Torus holding companies. The most directly comparable

GAAP financial measure would be to include these holding company expenses, which would result in a ratio of 30.8% and 31.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information on this ratio.

(4)	Our combined ratio is the sum of: (i) our loss ratio, (ii) our acquisition cost ratio and (iii) our other operating expense ratio (which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as described in footnote 3). Our historical combined ratio may not be indicative of future underwriting performance.

For the Torus segment, we reported net loss, before net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The results were primarily driven by:

(i)

net underwriting result of $28.3 million (net premiums earned of $138.2 million less $80.3 million in net increase in losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities and $29.6 million of acquisition costs);

(ii)

net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains of $4.6 million; partially offset by

(iii)

salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses totaling $42.6 million;

(iv)

foreign exchange losses of $0.6 million; and

(v)

income taxes of $0.4 million.

Noncontrolling interest in the net loss of the Torus segment of $4.3 million resulted in net loss attributable to Enstar Group Limited of $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Net Increase in Ultimate Losses and Loss Adjustment Expense Liabilities:

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded an overall net increase in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the Torus segment of $80.3 million principally due to an increase in estimates of net ultimate losses related to the current period, which has been recorded based on expected loss ratios on current period earned premium.

Salaries and Benefits:

Salaries and benefits costs for the Torus segment were $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

General and Administrative Expenses:

General and administrative expenses for the Torus segment were $25.0 million and $25.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interest:

We recorded noncontrolling interest in the net loss of the Torus segment of $4.3 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, Trident and Dowling held a combined 41.02% noncontrolling interest in the Torus segment.

Life and Annuities Segment

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

The following is a discussion and analysis of the results of operations for our life and annuities segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 which are summarized below:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013

INCOME TAXES		(1,555	)		(8	)

NET EARNINGS (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO ENSTAR GROUP LIMITED	$	3,070		$	(1,819	)

For the life and annuities segment, net earnings (loss) attributable to Enstar Group Limited increased by $4.9 million, from $(1.8) million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Net Premiums Earned:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*			2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Term life insurance	$	7,478	$	(1,566	)	$	9,044
Assumed life reinsurance		6,229		(449	)		6,678
Credit life and disability		13,889		(4,769	)		18,658

	$	27,596	$	(6,784	)	$	34,380

Net premiums earned were $27.6 million and $34.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in net premiums earned is the result of the run-off of policies during the period. The premiums in our life and annuities segment are expected to reduce by approximately 15 to 20% per annum as the blocks of business continue to run-off and policies lapse. We recorded acquisition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 of approximately

$4.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, associated with premiums earned by Pavonia. Substantially all of the net premiums earned in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 relate to the U.S. and Canadian business of the Pavonia companies.

For our life and annuities business, although we no longer write new business, our strategy differs from our non-life run-off business, in particular because we are unable to shorten the duration of the liabilities in this business through either early claims settlement, commutations or policy buy backs. Instead, we will hold the policies associated with the life and annuities business to their natural maturity or lapse and will pay claims as they fall due. We aim to earn profits in this segment through investments and operating efficiencies.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses):


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	Net Investment Income							Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses)
	2014		*Variance*			2013		2014		*Variance*		2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	9,952	$	(120	)	$	10,072	$	4,263	$	14,944	$	(10,681	)

Net investment income for the life and annuities segment for each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $10.0 million.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $4.3 million and ($10.7) million, respectively. The increase in net realized and unrealized gains of $14.9 million was primarily due to unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments in respect of the Pavonia companies. The gains were mostly due to marginal declines in the longer end of the U.S. yield curve versus increases in yields in the previous year.

The current operations of one of the Pavonia companies relates solely to periodic payment annuities. We have a long duration held-to-maturity investment portfolio to manage the cash flow obligations of these annuities. This held-to-maturity portfolio is carried at amortized cost and as such we would not anticipate any unrealized gains or losses on the portfolio. The carrying value of the held-to-maturity portfolio comprises approximately 70% of the Pavonia investments. The remaining 30% of our Pavonia investments comprise fixed maturity investments classified as trading securities, which relate to our non-periodic payment annuity business.

Annualized Returns

The table below presents the annualized investment returns (inclusive of net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains (losses), earned by the life and annuities segment on its cash and investments for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Combined overall		4.31	%		(0.18	)%	$	1,319,618	$	1,382,679

The average credit ratings of our fixed maturity investments of our life and annuities segment as at both June 30, 2014 and 2013 were A+.

	2014			*Variance*			2013

Net ultimate change in life benefit reserves		19,688			(415	)		19,273

Total	$	27,732		$	(2,170	)	$	25,562

Life and annuity policy benefits were $27.7 million and $25.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to periodic payment annuity benefits paid, mostly due to an increase in scheduled settlements processed in the period. Net ultimate change in life benefit reserves of $19.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 was comprised of net life claims benefits paid of $19.4 million and amortization of fair value adjustments of $3.9 million, partially offset by net change in life claims benefit reserves of $3.6 million.

Salaries and Benefits:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*			2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	2,394	$	(1,333	)	$	1,061

Salaries and benefits costs for the life and annuities segment were $2.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was largely attributable to the transition of employees from the seller of Pavonia to us over the course of the three months ended June 30, 2013. Because individuals transitioned to us at various dates in 2013, the comparative period did not contain an entire three months of salaries and benefits for the Pavonia employees.

General and Administrative Expenses:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014		*Variance*		2013
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Total	$	2,761	$	1,771	$	4,532

General and administrative expenses for the life and annuities segment were $2.8 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily attributable to non-recurring costs incurred in 2013 in relation to the transition of the Pavonia business. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Pavonia employees generally worked pursuant to a transition services agreement which was treated as general and administrative expenses by Pavonia.

Net premiums earned were $54.1 million and $35.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in net premiums earned is the result of three additional months of premiums from Pavonia in 2014 as compared to 2013 (we acquired Pavonia on March 31, 2013). We recorded acquisition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 of approximately $7.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, associated with premiums earned by Pavonia. Substantially all of the premiums earned relate to the U.S. and Canadian business of the Pavonia companies.

Net investment income for the life and annuities segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $19.9 million and $10.3 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the Pavonia companies for the full six months for 2014. These cash and fixed maturity investments were acquired on March 31, 2013.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $9.3 million and ($10.8) million, respectively. The increase in net realized and unrealized gains of $20.1 was primarily due to unrealized gains on fixed maturity investments in respect of the Pavonia companies. The gains were mostly due to marginal declines in the longer end of the U.S. yield curve versus increases in yields in the previous year.

Life and annuity policy benefits were $54.5 million and $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of the Pavonia business results for six months in 2014 as opposed to three months in 2013. The annuity business incurred some additional periodic payment annuity benefits in the six months ended June 30, 2014, relating to an increase in scheduled settlements processed during the period. Net ultimate change in life benefit reserves in the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $40.3 million was comprised of net life claims benefits paid of $41.9 million and amortization of fair value adjustments of $7.7 million, partially offset by net change in life claims benefit reserves of $9.2 million.

Salaries and benefits costs for the life and annuities segment related to our life and annuities segment were $4.4 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in salaries and benefits expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily attributable to having six months of Pavonia expenses in 2014 as compared to three months in 2013. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Pavonia employees generally worked pursuant to a transition services agreement, which was treated as general and administrative expense by Pavonia.

General and administrative expenses for the life and annuities segment were $5.1 million and $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is primarily attributable to non-recurring salary related transition costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital management strategy is to preserve sufficient capital to enable us to make future acquisitions while maintaining a conservative investment strategy. As we are a holding company and have no substantial operations of our own, our assets consist primarily of investments in subsidiaries. The potential sources of the cash flows to Enstar as a holding company consist of dividends, advances and loans from our subsidiary companies. Most of those subsidiaries are regulated entities, and restrictions on their ability to pay dividends and make other distributions may apply.

At June 30, 2014, we had total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments of $7.89 billion, compared to $6.56 billion at December 31, 2013. Our cash and cash equivalent portfolio is comprised mainly of cash, high-grade fixed deposits, commercial paper with maturities of less than three months and money market funds.

Reinsurance Balances Recoverable

Our acquired insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of insurance and reinsurance assumed. Our insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries remain liable to the extent that retrocessionaires do not meet their obligations under these agreements, and therefore, we evaluate and monitor concentration of credit risk among our reinsurers. Provisions are made for amounts considered potentially uncollectible.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had, excluding reinsurance recoverables related to our life and annuities segment, reinsurance balances recoverable of $1.50 billion and $1.33 billion, respectively. The increase of $165.6 million in reinsurance balances recoverable was primarily a result of the Torus acquisition, partially offset by commutations and cash collections made during the period ended June 30, 2014.

For both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable relating to reinsurance balances recoverable was $338.6 million. To estimate the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable, the balances are first allocated to applicable reinsurers using management judgment. As part of this process, ceded incurred but not reported (or IBNR) reserves are allocated by reinsurer. The ratio of the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable (excluding provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable) as of June 30, 2014 decreased to 18.1% as compared to 19.9% as of December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of reinsurance balances recoverable of Torus acquired during the year requiring minimal provisions for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable, and cash collections from reinsurers with minimal bad debt provisions.

See “Item 1. Financial Statements — Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013” for further information.

Operating

Net cash provided by our operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 was $324.2 million compared to net cash used of $11.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2013. This $335.6 million increase was due primarily to the following:

(i)

a decrease in the net changes in assets and liabilities of $240.3 million between 2014 and 2013; offset by a

(ii)

an increase of $256.5 million in sales and maturities of trading securities between 2014 and 2013; and

(iii)

a decrease of $338.6 million in purchases of trading securities between 2014 and 2013.

Investing

Investing cash flows consist primarily of net proceeds on the sale and purchase of available-for-sale and other investments. Net cash used in investing activities was $158.3 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $254.9 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2013. The decrease of $96.6 million between 2014 and 2013 was due primarily to the following:

(i)

a decrease of $321.5 million in net cash used for acquisitions between 2014 and 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired cash balances in excess of cash used to fund acquisitions, as compared to the acquisitions we completed in 2013; partially offset by

(ii)

a decrease of $81.2 million in the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities between 2014 and 2013;

(iii)

an increase of $93.4 million in the funding of other investments between 2014 and 2013; and

(iv)

an increase of $71.0 million in the purchase of available-for-sale securities between 2014 and 2013.

102

Financing

Net cash provided by financing activities was $217.1 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $225.3 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2013. The decrease of $8.2 million in cash provided by financing activities was attributable primarily to the following:

(i)

a decrease of $157.0 million in cash received attributable to bank loans between 2014 and 2013 due primarily to there being no acquisition borrowing required in 2014; and

(ii)

an increase of $133.3 million in the repayment of bank loans between 2014 and 2013; and

(iii)

a distribution of capital to noncontrolling interests of $10.0 million in 2014 compared to $nil in 2013; partially offset by

(iv)

an increase in contributions by noncontrolling and redeemable noncontrolling interests of $290.3 million primarily associated with the Torus acquisition.

Investments

Aggregate invested assets, comprising cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, fixed maturity investments, equities and other investments, were $7.89 billion as of June 30, 2014 compared to $6.56 billion as of December 31, 2013, an increase of $1.3 billion. The increase in cash and invested assets resulted principally from the completion of the acquisition of Torus.

We hold: (i) trading portfolios of fixed maturity investments, short-term investments and equities; (ii) available-for-sale portfolios of fixed maturity and short-term investments; and (iii) a held-to-maturity portfolio of fixed maturity investments. Our available-for-sale and trading portfolios are recorded at fair value.

Our held-to-maturity portfolio relates to our periodic payment annuities, business within our life and annuities segment. In an effort to match the expected cash flow requirements of the long-term liabilities associated with the business, we invest a portion of our fixed maturity investments in longer duration securities that we intend to hold to maturity. We classify these securities as held-to-maturity in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. This held-to-maturity portfolio is recorded at amortized cost. As a result, we do not record changes in the fair value of this portfolio, which should reduce the impact on shareholders’ equity of fluctuations in fair value of those investments.

The table below shows the aggregate fair values of our investments classified as held-to-maturity as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:


	June 30, 2014					December 31, 2013
	Fair Value		% of Total Fair Value			Fair Value		% of Total Fair Value

Total investments	$	844,999		100.0	%	$	799,559		100.0	%

As at June 30, 2014, we held investments on our balance sheet totaling $6.34 billion compared to $5.52 billion at December 31, 2013, with net unrealized appreciation included in accumulated comprehensive income of $3.3 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2013. As at June 30, 2014, we had approximately $3.6 billion of restricted assets compared to approximately $2.9 billion at December 31, 2013.

Across all our segments, we strive to structure our investments in a manner that recognizes our liquidity needs for future liabilities. In that regard, we attempt to correlate the maturity and duration of our investment portfolio to our general liability profile. If our liquidity needs or general liability profile unexpectedly change, we may adjust the structure of our investment portfolio to meet new business needs.

For our non-life run-off segment, our strategy of commuting our liabilities has the potential to accelerate the natural payout of losses. Therefore, we maintain a relatively short-duration investment portfolio in order to provide liquidity for commutation opportunities and avoid having to liquidate longer dated investments. Accordingly, the majority of our investment portfolio consists of highly rated fixed maturities, including U.S. government and agency investments, highly rated sovereign and supranational investments, high-grade corporate investments, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed investments. We allocate a portion of our investment portfolio to other investments, including private equity funds, fixed income funds, fixed income hedge funds, equity funds and a real estate debt fund. At June 30, 2014, these other investments totaled $716.3 million, or 11.3%, of our total balance sheet investments (December 31, 2013: $569.3 million or 10.3%).

104

For our life and annuities segment, we do not commute our policy benefits for life and annuity contracts liabilities and, as a result, we maintain a longer duration investment portfolio that attempts to match the cash flows and duration of our liability profile. Accordingly, the majority of this portfolio consists of highly rated fixed maturity investments, primarily corporate bonds.

Our fixed maturity investments associated with our PPA business are primarily highly rated corporate bonds with which we attempt to match duration and cash flows to the liability profile for this business. As these fixed maturity investments are classified as held-to-maturity, we invest surplus cash flows from maturities into longer dated fixed maturities. As at June 30, 2014, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio associated with our PPA business was shorter than the liabilities, as a significant amount of the liabilities extend beyond 30 years and it is difficult, due to limited investment options, to match duration and cash flows beyond that period.

Our fixed maturity investments associated with our non-PPA life business are primarily highly rated corporate bonds with which we attempt to match duration and cash flows to the liability profile for this business (the non-PPA life business has a short-duration liability profile). These fixed maturity investments are classified as trading, and therefore we may sell existing securities to buy higher yielding securities and funds in the future. As at June 30, 2014, the duration of our fixed maturity investment portfolio associated with our non-PPA life business was shorter than the liabilities, however, we have the discretion to change this in the future.

Fixed Maturity and Short-term Investments

The maturity distribution for our fixed maturity and short-term investments held as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was as follows:


	June 30, 2014					December 31, 2013

Total	$	5,470,751		100.0	%	$	4,708,644		100.0	%

As at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our fixed maturity and short-term investment portfolios had an average credit quality rating of AA- and A+, respectively. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our fixed maturity investments rated BBB or lower comprised 9.0% and 9.5% of our total investment portfolio, respectively.

At June 30, 2014, we had $238.6 million of short-term investments (December 31, 2013: $313.5 million). Short-term investments are managed as part of our investment portfolio and have a maturity of one year or less when purchased. Short-term investments are carried at fair value.

Fixed maturity investments issued by companies located in the United Kingdom and Switzerland are not included in the tables.

None of the fixed maturity investments we owned at June 30, 2014 were considered impaired and we do not expect to incur any significant losses on these securities.

Loans Payable

Our long-term debt consists of loan facilities used to partially finance certain of our acquisitions and significant new business transactions, and our revolving credit facility, or the EGL Revolving Credit Facility, which can be used for permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. We draw down on the loan facilities at the time of an acquisition or significant new business transactions although in some circumstances we have made additional draw-downs to refinance existing debt of the acquired company.

We made the following repayments and borrowings under our loan facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2014:

EGL Revolving Credit Facility

On March 26, 2014, we borrowed $70.0 million under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility. On May 27, 2014, we repaid $9.25 million of the outstanding principal under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2014, the unused portion of the EGL Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $55.5 million.

Clarendon Facility

On March 17, 2014, we repaid $13.0 million of the outstanding principal on the term facility related to our 2011 acquisition of Clarendon National Insurance Company, or the Clarendon Facility, reducing the outstanding principal as of June 30, 2014 to approximately $66.0 million.

SeaBright Facility

On June 25, 2014, we fully repaid the remaining $89.0 million of outstanding principal and accrued interest on the term facility related to the acquisition of SeaBright, or the SeaBright Facility. We had previously repaid $22.0 million of the outstanding principal on the SeaBright Facility on March 31, 2014.

110

Total amounts of loans payable outstanding, including accrued interest, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 totaled $386.2 million and $452.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, all of the covenants relating to our two outstanding credit facilities (tthe Clarendon Facility and the EGL Revolving Credit Facility) were met.

Refer to Item 7 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a description of these credit facilities.

Aggregate Contractual Obligations

The following table shows our aggregate contractual obligations and commitments by time period remaining to due date as at June 30, 2014 and updates the table on page 114 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013:

The reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses represent management’s estimate of the ultimate cost of settling losses. The estimation of losses is based on various complex and subjective judgments. Actual losses paid may differ, perhaps significantly, from the reserve estimates reflected in our financial statements. Similarly, the timing of payment of our estimated losses is not fixed and there may be significant changes in actual payment activity. The assumptions used in estimating the likely payments due by period are based on our historical claims payment experience and industry payment patterns, but due to the inherent uncertainty in the process of estimating the timing of such payments, there is a risk that the amounts paid in any such period can be significantly different from the amounts disclosed above.

The amounts in the above table represent our estimates of known liabilities as of June 30, 2014 and do not take into account corresponding reinsurance recoverable amounts that would be due to us. Furthermore, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 are computed on a fair value basis, whereas the expected payments by period in the table above are the estimated payments at a future time and do not reflect the fair value adjustment in the amount payable.

(2)

Policy benefits for life and annuity contracts recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2014 of $1,241.9 million are computed on a discounted basis, whereas the expected payments by period in the table above are the estimated payments at a future time and do not reflect the fair value adjustments of the amount payable.

Guarantees

As at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had, in total, parental guarantees supporting the obligations of our subsidiary, Fitzwilliam Insurance Limited, in the amount of $238.6 million and $228.5 million, respectively.

Acquisitions and Significant New Business

We have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to the Reciprocal of America loss portfolio transfer, which is expected to close by the end of 2014 and which is described above in “—Significant New Business.”

Legal Proceedings

Refer to “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of litigation matters.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet and Special Purpose Entity Arrangements

At June 30, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In “Segment Reporting—Arden” and “Segment Reporting—Torus” above, we provide loss ratio, acquisition cost ratio, other operating expense ratio, and the combined ratio in our discussions of the results for the Atrium and Torus segments in order to provide more complete information regarding our underwriting results for these businesses. The ratios are calculated by dividing the related expense by net earned premiums, and the combined ratio is the sum of these ratios. Our other operating expense ratio is considered to be a “non-GAAP” financial measure, which may be defined or calculated differently by other companies. We calculate this ratio by dividing the sum of general and administrative expenses and salaries and benefits attributable to Atrium/Arden and Torus, respectively, by net premiums earned. Other operating expense ratio excludes the expenses of the holding companies within the segments, such as holding company general and administrative expenses and salaries and benefits expenses, if any, that are not attributable to Atrium, Arden and Torus, respectively. We believe this is the most useful presentation because the excluded expenses are not incremental and/or directly attributable to the individual underwriting operations at

112

these companies. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure would be calculated by dividing the sum of all general and administrative expenses and salaries and benefits (if any) for the Atrium and Torus segments (including holding company expenses), respectively, by net premiums earned.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of our management, as well as the markets for our ordinary shares and the insurance and reinsurance sectors in general. Statements that include words such as “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “may” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements for purposes of the federal securities laws or otherwise. All forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates or expectations, and not statements of historical fact, reflecting the best judgment of our management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These forward looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this quarterly report.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward looking statements include:

•

risks associated with implementing our business strategies and initiatives;

•

risks that we may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available or may be available only on unfavorable terms;

•

the adequacy of our loss reserves and the need to adjust such reserves as claims develop over time;

•

risks relating to the availability and collectability of our reinsurance;

•

changes and uncertainty in economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation, currency exchange rates, equity markets and credit conditions, which could affect our investment portfolio, our ability to finance future acquisitions and our profitability;

•

losses due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•

increased competitive pressures, including the consolidation and increased globalization of reinsurance providers;

•

emerging claim and coverage issues;

•

lengthy and unpredictable litigation affecting assessment of losses and/or coverage issues;

•

continued availability of exit and finality opportunities provided by solvent schemes of arrangement;

•

loss of key personnel;

•

the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us and the resulting impact on our liquidity;

•

changes in our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations or intentions, which may happen at any time at management’s discretion;

•

operational risks, including system or human failures and external hazards;

113

•

the risk that ongoing or future industry regulatory developments will disrupt our business, or mandate changes in industry practices in ways that increase our costs, decrease our revenues or require us to alter aspects of the way we do business;

•

risks relating to our acquisitions, including our ability to successfully price acquisitions, evaluate opportunities, address operational challenges, assimilate acquired companies into our internal control system, and support our planned growth;

•

risks relating to our ability to obtain regulatory approvals, including the timing, terms and conditions of any such approvals, and to satisfy other closing conditions in connection with our acquisition agreements, which could affect our ability to complete acquisitions;

•

risks relating to our life and annuities business, including mortality and morbidity rates, lapse rates, the performance of assets to support the insured liabilities, and the risk of catastrophic events;

•

risks relating to our active underwriting businesses, including unpredictability and severity of catastrophic and other major loss events, failure of risk management and loss limitation methods, the risk of a ratings downgrade, cyclicality of demand and pricing in the insurance and reinsurance markets;

•

our ability to implement our strategies relating to the active underwriting market;

•

risks relating to our ability to structure our investments in a manner that recognizes our liquidity needs;

•

tax, regulatory or legal restrictions or limitations applicable to us or the insurance and reinsurance business generally;

•

changes in tax laws or regulations applicable to us or our subsidiaries, or the risk that we or one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries become subject to significant, or significantly increased, income taxes in the United States or elsewhere;

•

changes in Bermuda law or regulation or the political stability of Bermuda; and

•

changes in accounting policies or practices.

The factors listed above should be not construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements and Risk Factors that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as in Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the other materials filed and to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward looking statement, whether to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto, or as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our balance sheets include a substantial amount of assets and, to a lesser extent, liabilities, whose fair values are subject to market risks. Market risk represents the potential for an economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. Our primary market risks are interest rate risk, credit risk, equity price risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk. The following provides an analysis of the potential effects that these market risk exposures could have on our future earnings. This analysis is based on estimated changes. Actual results could differ significantly from amounts stated below, and our analysis should not be construed as our prediction for future market events.

114

Interest Rate Risk

We have calculated the effect that an immediate parallel shift in the U.S. interest rate yield curve would have on our cash and fixed maturity investments at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The modeling of this effect was performed on cash and fixed maturity investments classified as trading and available-for-sale. The results of this analysis are summarized in the table below.

Interest Rate Movement Analysis on Market Value

Change in Unrealized Value	$	48		$	28		$	0		$	(32	)	$	(63	)

Credit Risk

As a holder of fixed maturity investments and mutual funds, we also have exposure to credit risk as a result of investment ratings downgrades or issuer defaults. In an effort to mitigate this risk, our investment portfolio consists primarily of investment grade-rated, liquid, fixed maturity investments of short-to-medium duration and mutual funds. At June 30, 2014, approximately 55.5% of our fixed maturity investments and short-term investment portfolio was rated AA or higher by a major rating agency (December 31, 2013: 51.4%) with 10.4% (December 31, 2013: 11.1%) rated BBB or lower. The portfolio as a whole had an average credit quality rating of AA- (December 31, 2013: A+). In addition, we manage our portfolio pursuant to guidelines that follow what we believe are prudent standards of diversification. The guidelines limit the allowable holdings of a single issue and issuers and, as a result, we do not believe we have significant concentrations of credit risk.

We also have exposure to credit risk as it relates to our reinsurance balances recoverable. Our acquired reinsurance subsidiaries, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of insurance and reinsurance assumed. Our reinsurance subsidiaries remain liable to the extent that retrocessionaires do not meet their obligations under these agreements and, therefore, we evaluate and monitor concentration of credit risk among our reinsurers.

115

Equity Price Risk

Our portfolio of equity investments, including the equity funds included in other investments (collectively, “equities at risk”), has exposure to equity price risk, which is the risk of potential loss in fair value resulting from adverse changes in stock prices. Our global equity portfolio is correlated with a blend of the S&P 500 and MSCI World indices and changes in this blend of indices would approximate the impact on our portfolio. The fair value of our equities at risk at June 30, 2014 was $309.8 million (December 31, 2013: $291.4 million). At June 30, 2014, the impact of a 10% decline in the overall market prices of our equities at risk would be $31.0 million (December 31, 2013: $29.1 million), on a pre-tax basis.

Foreign Currency Risk

Through our subsidiaries located in various foreign countries, we conduct our insurance and reinsurance operations in a variety of non-U.S. currencies. As the functional currency for the majority of our subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to these subsidiaries will have a direct impact on the valuation of our assets and liabilities denominated in local currencies. All changes in foreign exchange rates, with the exception of non-U.S. dollar denominated investments classified as available-for-sale, are recognized currently in foreign exchange gains (losses) in our consolidated statements of earnings.

We have exposure to foreign currency risk due to our ownership of our Irish, U.K. and Australian subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the Euro, British pound and Australian dollar.

The foreign exchange gain or loss resulting from the translation of our subsidiaries’ financial statements (expressed in Euro, British pound and Australian dollar functional currency) into U.S. dollars is classified in the currency translation adjustment account, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

Our foreign currency policy is to broadly manage, where possible, our foreign currency risk by seeking to match our liabilities under insurance and reinsurance policies that are payable in foreign currencies with assets that are denominated in such currencies, subject to regulatory constraints, and to selectively use foreign currency exchange contracts. The matching process is carried out quarterly in arrears and therefore any mismatches occurring in the period may give rise to foreign exchange gains and losses, which could adversely affect our operating results. We are, however, required to maintain assets in non-U.S. dollars to meet certain local country branch and regulatory requirements, which restricts our ability to manage these exposures through the matching of our assets and liabilities. In addition, we utilize foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency risk.

The table below summarizes our net exposure as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 to foreign currencies for our subsidiaries whose functional currency is U.S. dollars:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has performed an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

Our management has performed an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Based upon that evaluation there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation regarding claims. We do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that lawsuits, arbitrations or other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We anticipate that, similar to the rest of the insurance and reinsurance industry, we will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including litigation generally related to the scope of coverage with respect to asbestos and environmental claims. There can be no assurance that any such future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that the risk factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K have not materially changed, except as set forth below.

Our expansion into the active underwriting business (through our acquisitions of Atrium and Torus) presents certain new risks and uncertainties described below, as well as others that we may encounter, which could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Underwriting is inherently a matter of judgment, involving important assumptions about matters that are unpredictable and beyond our control, and for which historical experience and probability analysis may not provide sufficient guidance. In addition to the risks and uncertainties that impact all of our business segments, our Atrium and Torus active underwriting businesses expose us to risks that include, but are not limited to, those set forth below. Any of these risks could result in underperformance of the active underwriting businesses compared to our expectations, and could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations:

•

Exposure to claims arising out of unpredictable natural and man-made catastrophic events (including hurricanes, windstorms, tsunamis, severe weather, earthquakes, floods, fires, droughts, explosions, environmental contamination, acts of terrorism, war or political unrest) and changing climate patterns and ocean temperature conditions, which could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition and cause substantial volatility in our results of operations for any fiscal quarter or year;

•

Failure of our risk management and loss limitation methods, or our catastrophe risk modeling processes, to adequately manage our exposure to losses or provide sufficient protection against losses from catastrophes;

•

The intense competition for business in this industry, including from major global insurance and reinsurance companies and underwriting syndicates with greater experience and resources than us, or as a result of industry consolidation;

•

Dependence on a limited number of brokers, managing general agents and other third parties to support our business, both in terms of the volume of business we will rely on them to place and the credit risk we will assume from them;

118

•

Susceptibility to the effects of inflation due to premiums being established before the ultimate amounts of losses and loss adjustment expense are known;

•

Susceptibility of the reinsurance we underwrite to the quality of the original underwriting decisions made by the ceding companies, which may lead us to inaccurately assess the risks we assume; and

•

The cyclical nature of the insurance and reinsurance business, which has historically been characterized by periods of intense price competition due to excessive underwriting capacity as well as periods when shortages of underwriting capacity permitted more favorable premium levels. An increase in premium levels is often offset by an increasing supply of underwriting capacity (via new entrants, market instruments, structures, or additional commitments by existing insurers) that may cause prices to decrease. Any of these factors could lead to a significant reduction in premium rates, less favorable policy terms and fewer submissions for our active underwriting services, as well as our ability to purchase reinsurance, and could cause our earnings to decrease and our results of operations to fluctuate significantly from period to period.

We face challenges to realizing the expected benefits of acquisitions, which may cause underperformance relative to our expectations, unforeseen liabilities and expenses, integration difficulties and other challenges, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The acquisitions we have made and expect to make in the future may pose operational challenges, expose us to risks and divert management’s time and energy, including relating to:

•

funding cash flow shortages that may occur if anticipated revenues are not realized or are delayed, or if expenses are greater than anticipated;

•

the value of assets being lower than expected or diminishing because of credit defaults or changes in interest rates, or liabilities assumed being greater than expected;

•

integrating financial and operational reporting systems and internal controls, including assurance of compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and our reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or the Exchange Act);

•

establishing satisfactory budgetary and other financial controls;

•

leveraging our existing capabilities and expertise into the business acquired and establishing synergies within our organization;

•

funding increased capital needs and overhead expenses;

•

integrating technology platforms;

•

obtaining and retaining management personnel required for expanded operations;

•

fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates relating to the assets and liabilities we may acquire;

•

goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges; and

•

complying with applicable laws and regulations.

In particular, our ability to integrate and successfully operate the Torus companies will be a key component to our continued success. Torus added approximately 500 new employees (as compared to the approximately 739 employees we had as of December 31, 2013) and a number of new offices in

119

various countries. The Torus group forms a new operating segment for us. In addition to the risks discussed above, the potential challenges of integrating Torus and achieving the anticipated benefits include implementing business and underwriting plans for Torus, establishing operating efficiencies, managing expenses, retaining key employees, improving systems, and working effectively with our joint venture partners. We must also assimilate the Torus companies into our internal control system, including by ensuring their compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2015. Failure to effectively achieve this could result in us reporting a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting.
