(unaudited)


1.	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 following information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the new guidance issued by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which provides additional guidance for performing Step 1 of the test for goodwill impairment when an entity has reporting units with zero or negative carrying values. As of June 30, 2011, none of the Company’s reporting units were at risk of failing Step 1 of the test for goodwill impairment. Under the new guidance, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test must be performed when adverse qualitative factors indicate that goodwill is more likely than not impaired. The adoption of the revised guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted the new guidance issued by FASB, which specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose, in its supplementary pro-forma information, revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The adoption of the revised guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In May 2011, FASB issued amendments to disclosure requirements for common fair value measurement. These amendments, effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is prohibited), result in a common definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Consequently, the amendments change some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. The implementation of this amended accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, FASB issued amendments to disclosure requirements for presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance, effective retrospectively for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 (early adoption is permitted), requires presentation of total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The implementation of this amended accounting guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

1.	BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CONSOLIDATION — (cont’d)

The Company has determined that all other recently issued accounting pronouncements do not apply to its operations.


2.	ACQUISITIONS

The Company accounts for acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the acquirer record the assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair value. The fair values of reinsurance assets and liabilities acquired are derived from probability weighted ranges of the associated projected cash flows, based on actuarially prepared information and management’s run-off strategy. Any amendment to the fair values resulting from changes in such information or strategy will be recognized when the changes occur.

Laguna

On March 25, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kenmare Holdings Ltd., completed the acquisition of Laguna Life Limited, formerly known as CitiLife Financial Limited (“Laguna”), from Citigroup Insurance Holding Corporation (“Citigroup”), an affiliate of Citigroup Inc. Laguna is an Ireland-based life insurer that is in run-off. The purchase price was €15.0 million (approximately $21.2 million) and was funded from available cash on hand. The previously disclosed purchase price of €30.0 million (approximately $42.4 million) was reduced, prior to completion of the acquisition, after Citigroup received approval from Laguna’s regulator to distribute €15.0 million (approximately $21.2 million) to its shareholders.

The purchase price and fair value of the assets acquired in the Laguna acquisition were as follows:


Purchase price	$	21,223

Net assets acquired at fair value	$	34,328

Excess of net assets over purchase price (gain on bargain purchase)	$	(13,105	)

The gain on bargain purchase of approximately $13.1 million, relating to the acquisition of Laguna, arose primarily as a result of the reassessment by the Company, upon acquisition, of the total required estimated costs to manage the business to expiry. The Company’s assessment of costs was lower than the acquired costs recorded by the vendor in the financial statements of Laguna.

The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:


Cash	$	13,274
Investments:
Short-term investments, trading		1,154
Fixed maturities, trading		30,765

Total investments		31,919
Reinsurance balances receivable		1,459
Other assets		1,325
Losses and loss adjustment expenses		(11,898	)
Accounts payable		(1,751	)

Net assets acquired at fair value	$	34,328

From March 25, 2011, the date of acquisition, to June 30, 2011, the Company has recorded $0.7 million in revenues and $nil net earnings related to Laguna in its consolidated statement of earnings.

Clarendon

On July 12, 2011, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Clarendon Holdings, Inc., completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Clarendon National Insurance Company (“Clarendon”) from Clarendon Insurance Group, Inc., an affiliate of Hannover Re. Clarendon is a New Jersey-domiciled insurer that is in run-off. Clarendon owns three other insurers, two domiciled in New Jersey and one domiciled in Florida, that are also in run-off. The purchase price was $219.1 million and was financed in part by $106.5 million from a four-year term loan facility provided by National Australia Bank Limited (“NAB”) and the remainder from available cash on hand. The accounting for this business combination has not been completed at the time of issuance of these financial statements.


3.	SIGNIFICANT NEW BUSINESS

Shelbourne RITC Transactions

In December 2007, the Company, in conjunction with JCF FPK I L.P. (“JCF FPK”) and a newly-hired executive management team, formed U.K.-based Shelbourne Group Limited (“Shelbourne”) to invest in Reinsurance to Close or “RITC” transactions (the transferring of liabilities from one Lloyd’s syndicate to another) with Lloyd’s of London insurance and reinsurance syndicates in run-off. The Company owns approximately 56.8% of Shelbourne, which in turn owns 100% of Shelbourne Syndicate Services Limited, the Managing Agency for Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008, a syndicate approved by Lloyd’s of London on December 16, 2007 to undertake RITC transactions with Lloyd’s syndicates in run-off.

JCF FPK is a joint investment program between Fox-Pitt, Kelton, Cochran, Caronia & Waller (USA) LLC (“FPK”) and J.C. Flowers II, L.P. (the “Flowers Fund”). The Flowers Fund is a private investment fund advised by J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC. J. Christopher Flowers, one of the Company’s largest shareholders and formerly a member of the Company’s board of directors, is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC. In addition, an affiliate of the Flowers Fund controlled approximately 41% of FPK until its sale of FPK in December 2009.

In February 2011, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 entered into RITC agreements with two Lloyd’s syndicates with total gross insurance reserves of approximately $129.6 million. The capital commitment to Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 with respect to these two RITC agreements amounted to £21.3 million (approximately $34.1 million), which was fully funded by the Company from available cash on hand.


4.	RESTRICTED CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Restricted cash and cash equivalents were $512.8 million and $656.2 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The restricted cash and cash equivalents are used as collateral against letters of credit and as guarantees under trust agreements. Letters of credit are issued to ceding insurers as security for the obligations of insurance subsidiaries under reinsurance agreements with those ceding insurers.

As at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the number of securities classified as available-for-sale in an unrealized loss position was 74 and 136, respectively, with a fair value of $96.6 million and $218.7 million, respectively. Of these securities, the number of securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer was 46 and 32, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, none of these securities were considered to be other than temporarily impaired. The Company has no intent to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before their fair values recover above the adjusted cost. The unrealized losses from these securities were not as a result of credit, collateral or structural issues.

The contractual maturities of the Company’s fixed maturity securities and short-term investments classified as available-for-sale are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $118.7 million and $104.1 million, respectively, of other investments recorded in private equities, which represented 3.1% and 2.4% of total investments and cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. All of the Company’s investments in private equities are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales that are determined by the governing documents and limit the Company’s ability to liquidate these investments in the short term. 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. These investments are accounted for at estimated fair value determined by the Company’s proportionate share of the net asset value of the investee reduced by any impairment charges. As at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had unfunded capital commitments relating to its other investments of $74.5 million and $84.7 million, respectively. See Note 12 for details of other investments with related parties.

Our bond fund holdings comprise a number of positions in diversified bond mutual funds managed by third-party managers.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment Process

The Company assesses whether declines in the fair value of its fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale represent impairments that are other-than-temporary by reviewing each fixed maturity investment that is impaired and: (1) determining if the Company has the intent to sell the fixed maturity investment or (2) determining if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery; and (3) assessing whether a credit loss exists, that is, where the Company expects that the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the fixed maturity investment is less than the amortized cost basis of the investment.

The Company had no planned sales of its fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale as at June 30, 2011. 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 classified as available-for-sale in an unrealized gain position, and other relevant factors. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairments due to required sales.

In evaluating credit losses, the Company considers a variety of factors in the assessment of a fixed maturity investment including: (1) the time period during which there has been a significant decline below cost; (2) the extent of the decline below cost and par; (3) the potential for the fixed maturity investment to recover in value; (4) an analysis of the financial condition of the issuer; (5) the rating of the issuer; and (6) failure of the issuer of the fixed maturity investment to make scheduled interest or principal payments.

Based on the factors described above, the Company determined that, as at June 30, 2011, no credit losses existed.

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 assumptions 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 portfolio is managed by the Company’s Chief Investment Officer and outside investment advisors. The Company uses inputs from nationally recognized pricing services, including pricing vendors, index providers and broker-dealers to estimate fair value measurements for all of its fixed maturity investments. These pricing services include FT Interactive Data, Barclays Capital Aggregate Index (formerly Lehman Index), Reuters Pricing Service and others.

In general, the pricing services use observable market inputs including, but not limited to, investment yields, credit risks and spreads, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, non-binding broker-dealer quotes, reported trades and sector groupings to determine the fair value. In addition, pricing services use valuation models, 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.

5.	INVESTMENTS — (cont’d)

The following describes the techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Company’s fixed maturities 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 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 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, 2011, 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, 2011, the Company had one commercial mortgage-backed security classified as Level 3.

To validate the techniques or models used by the pricing services, the Company compares the fair value estimates to its knowledge of the current market and challenges any prices deemed not to be representative of fair value.

As of June 30, 2011, there were no material differences between the prices obtained from the pricing services and the fair value estimates developed by the Company.

Equity Securities

The Company’s equity securities are managed by two external advisors. The Company uses nationally recognized pricing services, including pricing vendors, index providers and broker-dealers to estimate fair value measurements for all of its equity securities. These pricing services include FT Interactive Data and others.

The Company has categorized all of its investments in common stock as Level 1 investments because the fair values of these securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company has categorized all of its investments in preferred stock as Level 2 (except one which was categorized as Level 3) because their fair value estimates are based on observable market data. As at June 30, 2011 the Company did not have any investments in preferred stock categorized as Level 2.

Other Investments

For its investments in private equities, 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 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. The Company’s private equity investments are mainly in the financial services industry. The fund advisors continue to evaluate the overall market environment, as well as specific areas in the financial services sector, in order to identify segments they believe will offer the most attractive investment opportunities. The financial statements of each fund generally are audited annually under U.S. GAAP, using fair value measurement for the underlying investments. For all publicly-traded companies within the funds, the Company has valued those investments based on the latest share price. The value of Affirmative Investment LLC (in which the Company owns a non-voting 7% membership interest) is based on the market value of the shares of Affirmative Insurance Holdings, Inc., a publicly-traded company.

All of the Company’s investments in private equities 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 in the short term. These restrictions have been in place since the initial investments. The capital commitments are discussed in detail in Note 12 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has classified private equities as Level 3 investments because they reflect the Company’s own judgment about the assumptions that market participants might use.

For its investment in the hedge fund, 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 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. The adviser of the fund intends to seek attractive risk-adjusted total returns for the fund’s investors by acquiring, originating, and actively managing a diversified portfolio of debt securities, with a focus on various forms of asset backed securities and loans. The fund will focus on investments that the adviser believes to be fundamentally undervalued with current market prices that are believed to be compelling relative to intrinsic value. The units of account that are valued by the Company are its interests in the fund and not the underlying holdings of such fund. Thus, the inputs used by the Company to value its investment in the fund may differ from the inputs used to value the underlying holdings of such fund. The hedge fund is not currently eligible for redemption due to imposed lock-up periods of three years from the time of the initial investment. Once eligible, redemptions will be permitted quarterly with 90 days notice. There are no unfunded capital commitments in relation to the hedge fund. The investment in the fund is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The bond funds in which the Company invests have been classified as Level 2 investments because their fair value is estimated using the net asset value reported by Bloomberg and they have daily liquidity.

Restricted Investments

The Company is required to maintain investments on deposit with various regulatory authorities to support its insurance and reinsurance operations. The investments 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 investments held in trust as collateral are primarily highly rated fixed maturity securities. The carrying value of the Company’s restricted investments as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was as follows:

7.	REINSURANCE BALANCES RECEIVABLE


	June 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010

Recoverable from reinsurers on:
Outstanding losses	$	454,402		$	425,336
Losses incurred but not reported		140,248			141,118
Fair value adjustments		(38,276	)		(41,014	)

Total reinsurance reserves recoverable		556,374			525,440
Paid losses		447,737			436,002

	$	1,004,111		$	961,442

The fair value adjustment, determined on acquisition of reinsurance subsidiaries, was 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 receivables acquired plus a spread to reflect credit risk, and is amortized over the estimated recovery period, as adjusted for accelerations on commutation settlements, using the constant yield method.

The Company’s acquired reinsurance subsidiaries, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of reinsurance assumed. The Company remains 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.

At June 30, 2011, the Company’s top 10 reinsurers accounted for 73.9% (December 31, 2010: 75.5%) of reinsurance recoverables (which includes loss reserves recoverable and recoverables on paid losses) and included $101.5 million of incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) recoverable (December 31, 2010: $99.6 million). Reinsurance recoverables by reinsurer were as follows:


	June 30, 2011					December 31, 2010
	Reinsurance		% of			Reinsurance		% of
	Recoverable		Total			Recoverable		Total

Top 10 reinsurers	$	741,837		73.9	%	$	726,201		75.5	%
Other reinsurers’ balances > $1 million		242,424		24.1	%		198,737		20.7	%
Other reinsurers’ balances < $1 million		19,850		2.0	%		36,504		3.8	%

Total	$	1,004,111		100.0	%	$	961,442		100.0	%

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the provision for uncollectible reinsurance relating to losses recoverable was $421.5 million and $381.4 million, respectively. To estimate the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverables, the reinsurance recoverables are first allocated to applicable reinsurers. This determination is based on a detailed process rather than an estimate, although an element of judgment is applied. As part of this process, ceded IBNR is allocated by reinsurer.

7.	REINSURANCE BALANCES RECEIVABLE — (cont’d)

The Company uses a detailed analysis to estimate uncollectible reinsurance. The primary components of the analysis are reinsurance recoverable balances by reinsurer and bad debt provisions applied to these balances to determine the portion of a reinsurer’s balance deemed to be uncollectible. These provisions require considerable judgment and are determined using the current rating, or rating equivalent, of each reinsurer (in order to determine their ability to settle the reinsurance balances), as well as other key considerations and assumptions, such as claims and coverage issues.

As at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, reinsurance receivables with a carrying value of $405.4 million and $398.8 million, respectively, were each associated with two reinsurers which represented 10% or more of total reinsurance balances receivable. As at June 30, 2011, the two reinsurers had credit ratings of AA- or higher. In the event that all or any of the reinsuring companies are unable to meet their obligations under existing reinsurance agreements, the Company will be liable for such defaulted amounts.

8.	LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES — (cont’d)

Net reduction in case and loss adjustment expense reserves, or LAE reserves, comprises the movement during the quarter 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 reduction in IBNR represents the change in the Company’s actuarial estimates of losses incurred but not reported.

The net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2011 of $34.3 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $27.8 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $1.7 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $11.8 million, relating to 2011 run-off activity, partially offset by the amortization, over the estimated payout period, of fair value adjustments relating to companies acquired amounting to $7.0 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $27.8 million, comprised of net incurred loss development of $0.1 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $28.0 million, primarily related to the completion of two commutations of the Company’s largest ten exposures. The reductions in provisions for bad debt of $1.7 million resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

The net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $42.4 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $35.1 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $7.8 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $11.7 million, relating to 2010 run-off activity, partially offset by the amortization, over the estimated payout period, of fair value adjustments relating to companies acquired amounting to $12.2 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $35.1 million comprised net favorable incurred loss development of $5.9 million along with reductions in IBNR reserves of $29.2 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, claims liabilities of certain policyholders within a number of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries were commuted at levels that required the reduction in IBNR reserves for those subsidiaries. The reductions in provisions for bad debt of $7.8 million resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Losses incurred and paid are reflected net of reinsurance recoverables.

The net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $38.4 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $30.4 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $1.7 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $23.3 million, relating to 2011 run-off activity, partially offset by the amortization, over the estimated payout period, of fair value adjustments relating to companies acquired amounting to $17.0 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $30.4 million, comprised of net incurred loss development of $4.8 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $35.3 million, primarily related to the completion of two commutations of the Company’s largest ten exposures. The reductions in provisions for bad debt of $1.7 million resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

The net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $52.0 million was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $37.0 million, a reduction in provisions for bad debt of $13.1 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $20.7 million, relating to 2010 run-off activity, partially offset by the amortization, over the estimated payout period, of fair value adjustments relating to companies acquired amounting to $18.9 million.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $37.0 million comprised net favorable incurred loss development of $1.5 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $35.6 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, claims liabilities of certain policyholders within a number of the Company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries were commuted at levels that required the reduction in IBNR reserves for those subsidiaries. The reductions in provisions for bad debts of $13.1 million resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.


9.	LOANS PAYABLE

The Company’s long-term debt consists of loan facilities used to partially finance certain of the Company’s acquisitions or significant new business transactions along with a loan outstanding in relation to the share repurchase agreements (the “Repurchase Agreements”) entered into with three of its executives and certain trusts and a corporation affiliated with the executives. The Unionamerica, Knapton and Enstar Group Facilities and the Repurchase Agreements are described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

EGL Revolving Credit Facility; Prepayment of Certain Subsidiary Debt Facilities

On June 13, 2011, the Company, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with NAB and Barclays Corporate, the corporate banking division of Barclays Bank PLC, as bookrunners and mandated lead arrangers, certain financial institutions, as lenders, and NAB as agent (the “EGL Credit Agreement”). The EGL Credit Agreement provides for a three-year revolving credit facility pursuant to which the Company is permitted to borrow up to an aggregate of $250.0 million (the “EGL Revolving Credit Facility”), which will be available to prepay certain existing credit facilities of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, to fund permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The Company’s ability to draw on the EGL Revolving Credit Facility is subject to customary conditions.

On June 30, 2011, the Company borrowed $167.7 million under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to prepay $167.7 million representing the total amounts owing by the Company under the Knapton, Unionamerica and Enstar Group facilities. The prepayment of these existing credit facilities was a condition to the Company’s initial borrowing under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2011, the outstanding EGL Revolving Credit Facility loan balance was $167.7 million.

The EGL Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on the stock of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and certain bank accounts held with Barclays Bank PLC in the name of the Company and into which amounts received in respect of any capital release from certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are required to be paid. Interest is payable at the end of each interest period chosen by the Company or, at the latest, each six months. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2.75%, plus an incremental amount tied to certain regulatory costs that may be incurred by the lenders, if any. The unused portion of the EGL Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee of 1.10%. The EGL Revolving Credit Facility is subject to various financial and business covenants applicable to the Company, the guarantors and certain other material subsidiaries, including limitations on mergers and consolidations, acquisitions, indebtedness and guarantees, restrictions as to dispositions of stock and dividends, and limitations on liens on stock. As of June 30, 2011, all of the covenants relating to the EGL Revolving Credit Facility were met.

amounts payable upon demand or proceed against the security. The EGL Credit Agreement terminates and all amounts borrowed must be repaid on June 13, 2014, the third anniversary of the date of the EGL Credit Agreement.

The fair value of the Company’s floating rate loan approximates its book value.

Clarendon

On March 4, 2011, the Company, through Clarendon Holdings, Inc., entered into a $106.5 million term facility agreement (the “Clarendon Facility”) with NAB. The Clarendon Facility provides for a four-year term loan facility available to be drawn to fund up to 50% of the purchase price of Clarendon. As of June 30, 2011, Clarendon Holdings, Inc. had not borrowed any of the amount available under the Clarendon Facility. On July 12, 2011, the Company fully drew down the Clarendon Facility in connection with the acquisition of Clarendon.

The Clarendon Facility is secured by a security interest in all of the assets of Clarendon Holdings, Inc., as well as a first priority lien on the stock of both Clarendon Holdings, Inc. and Clarendon. Interest is payable at the end of each interest period chosen by Clarendon Holdings, Inc. or, at the latest, each six months. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2.75%. The Clarendon Facility is subject to various financial and business covenants, including limitations on mergers and consolidations, restrictions as to disposition of stock and limitations on liens on the stock.

During the existence of any payment default, the interest rate is increased by 1.0%. During the existence of any event of default (as specified in the term facility agreement), the lenders may declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts immediately due and payable, declare all or a portion of borrowed amounts payable upon demand, or proceed against the security. The Clarendon Facility terminates and all amounts borrowed must be repaid on July 12, 2015.

*(d)*	*Pension plan*

The Company provides pension benefits to eligible employees through various plans sponsored by the Company. All pension plans, except as disclosed below, are structured as defined contribution plans. Pension expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as compared to $1.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company acquired, as part of the acquisition of PW Acquisition Company (“PWAC”) on July 20, 2010, a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “PWAC Plan”) that covers substantially all PWAC employees hired before April 1, 2003 and provides pension and certain death benefits. Effective April 1, 2004, PWAC froze the PWAC Plan. As at the date of acquisition of PWAC by the Company, the PWAC Plan had an unfunded liability of $6.7 million that had been accrued by PWAC. Subsequent to acquisition, an actuarial review was performed of the PWAC Plan which determined that the PWAC Plan’s unfunded liability was $8.1 million. As at June 30, 2011, PWAC had an accrued liability of $7.9 million for the unfunded PWAC Plan liability.

The Company recorded pension expense relating to the PWAC Plan, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

13.	TAXATION

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, as compared to $16.1 million and $22.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries are not required to pay any taxes in Bermuda on their income or capital gains. On March 25, 2011, the Company received confirmation from the Minister of Finance in Bermuda that, in the event of any taxes being imposed, the period for which the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries will be exempt from taxation in Bermuda would be extended 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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 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						Six Months Ended
	June 30,			June 30,			June 30,			June 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010

Earnings before income tax	$	10,350		$	28,545		$	14,470		$	50,388

Expected tax rate		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%
Foreign taxes at local expected rates		70.9	%		52.2	%		65.2	%		53.1	%
Benefit of loss carryovers		0.0	%		(1.5	)%		0.0	%		(6.0	)%
Change in uncertain tax positions		0.5	%		0.2	%		0.7	%		0.3	%
Change in valuation allowance		(63.5	)%		4.2	%		(49.0	)%		(4.1	)%
Impact of Australian tax consolidation		0.0	%		0.0	%		(6.2	)%		0.0	%
Other		1.5	%		1.3	%		0.3	%		0.4	%

Effective tax rate		9.4	%		56.4	%		11.0	%		43.7	%

The Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $14.9 million and $3.2 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Deferred income taxes arise from the recognition of temporary differences between income determined for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes. The temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are net operating loss carryforwards, claims reserves due principally to the discounting for tax, and investments.

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.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $5.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively, relating to uncertain tax positions.

13.	TAXATION — (cont’d)

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 2005, 2008 and 2005, respectively.

Because the Company operates in many jurisdictions, its net earnings are subject to risk due to changing tax laws and tax rates around the world. The current, rapidly changing economic environment may increase the likelihood of substantial changes to tax laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company cannot predict what, if any, legislation will actually be proposed or enacted, or what the effect of any such legislation might be on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.


14.	SHARE CAPITAL

On April 20, 2011, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with GSCP VI AIV Navi, Ltd., GSCP VI Offshore Navi, Ltd., GSCP VI Parallel AIV Navi, Ltd., GSCP VI Employee Navi, Ltd., and GSCP VI GmbH Navi, L.P. (collectively, the “Purchasers”), each of which is an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. Under the Investment Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Purchasers agreed to purchase, at several different closings described immediately below, securities representing 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding share capital pro forma for all the issuances, with the right to acquire an additional 2.0% on a fully diluted basis pro forma for all the issuances through the exercise of warrants as described below, although the Purchasers’ voting interest in the Company purchased pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be less than 4.9%. The securities that the Purchasers have acquired or, subject to certain conditions, will be acquiring at these closings can be further summarized as follows:


	•	At the first closing, which occurred on April 20, 2011, 531,345 of the Company’s voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share (“Voting Common Shares”), and 749,869 of the Company’s newly created Series A convertible non-voting preference shares, par value $1.00 per share (the “Non-Voting Preferred Shares”), at a purchase price of $86.00 per share, or approximately $110.2 million in the aggregate. Upon the receipt of shareholder approval to create three new classes of non-voting ordinary shares at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on June 28, 2011 (the “Shareholder Approval”), the Non-Voting Preferred Shares automatically converted on a share-for-share basis into non-voting ordinary shares of the Company, par value $1.00 (the “Non-Voting Common Shares”). At the first closing, the Company also issued to the Purchasers warrants to acquire 340,820 Non-Voting Preferred Shares (which converted to the right to acquire Non-Voting Common Shares upon receipt of the Shareholder Approval) for an exercise price of $115.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Purchasers may, at their election, satisfy the exercise price of the warrants on a cashless basis by surrender of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the warrants in accordance with a formula set forth in the warrants. The warrants expire on the ten year anniversary of the first closing.

	•	At the second closing, which is expected to occur after receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions (but not before December 23, 2011), 134,184 Voting Common Shares and 827,504 Non-Voting Common Shares, at a purchase price of $86.00 per share, or approximately $82.7 million in the aggregate.

	•	At the third closing, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on June 28, 2011 and which is expected to occur after receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions, 1,148,264 Non-Voting Common Shares, at a purchase price of $86.00 per share, or approximately $98.7 million in the aggregate. If the third closing occurs, it is expected to occur simultaneously with the second closing.

The Purchasers may elect, at their option, to receive Series B Non-Voting Common Shares in lieu of Voting Common Shares that might otherwise be issuable to them at any of the closings discussed above. Any such Series B Non-Voting Common Shares would be convertible on a share-for-share basis, subject to certain adjustments, into Voting Common Shares at the option of the Purchasers. All other Non-Voting Common Shares received by the Purchasers under the Investment Agreement, including those received upon conversion of the Non-Voting Preferred Shares received at the first closing, are Series C Non-Voting Common Shares. The Purchasers may also elect to receive Series B Non-Voting Common Shares, Series C Non-Voting Common Shares or Series D Non-Voting Common Shares upon conversion of Voting Common Shares held by them. In addition, the Purchasers may elect to receive Series D Non-Voting Common Shares upon conversion of Series B Non-Voting Common Shares or Series C Non-Voting Common Shares held by them. There is no economic difference in the sub-series of Non-Voting Common Shares, but there are slight differences in the limited voting rights of each sub-series that are designed to address certain regulatory matters affecting the Purchasers.

The total investment expected to be made by the Purchasers for the purchase of the Voting Common Shares, the Non-Voting Common Shares and the warrants is approximately $291.6 million. The Company has accounted for the Purchaser’s investment under the Investment Agreement as equity under the applicable U.S. GAAP.

On June 28, 2011 at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the reallocation of the Company’s authorized share capital as follows:


	June 28,		Pre-June 28,

Ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share		90,000		100,000
Non-voting convertible ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share		21,000		6,000
Preference shares, par value $1.00 per share		45,000		50,000

Total authorized share capital		156,000		156,000


15.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

Due to the growing insignificance of the Company’s consulting activities in relation to its core reinsurance operations, the Company has reevaluated its segment reporting and concluded that it has one reportable segment. As a result of the decreasing relative significance of consulting activities and the associated revenues and earnings, the Company no longer monitors the results of consulting activities separately for evaluating business performance and for making resource allocation decisions. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2011, the Company will no longer report separately the results of its consulting activities. Prior to 2011, the Company reported two segments: reinsurance and consulting.

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 (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2011, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These interim 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 such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Enstar Group Limited and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 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 4, 2011, 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, 2010 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2.	*MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS*

The following is a discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. This discussion and analysis 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, 2010.

Business Overview

Enstar Group Limited, or Enstar, was formed in August 2001 under the laws of Bermuda to acquire and manage insurance and reinsurance companies in run-off and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business in run-off, and to provide management, consulting and other services to the insurance and reinsurance industry.

Since our formation, we have acquired 31 insurance and reinsurance companies (excluding Clarendon National Insurance Company, or Clarendon, which was acquired subsequent to the end of our second quarter as discussed below) and 15 portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business and are now administering those businesses in run-off. Insurance and reinsurance companies and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business we acquire that are in run-off no longer underwrite new policies. We derive our net earnings from the ownership and management of these companies and portfolios of business in run-off primarily by settling insurance and reinsurance claims below the acquired value of loss reserves and from returns on the portfolio of investments retained to pay future claims. In addition, we provide management and consultancy services, claims inspection services and reinsurance collection services to our affiliates and third-party clients for both fixed and success-based fees.

Recent Transactions

Clarendon

On July 12, 2011, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Clarendon Holdings, Inc., completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Clarendon from Clarendon Insurance Group, Inc., an affiliate of Hannover Re. Clarendon is a New Jersey-domiciled insurer that is in run-off. Clarendon owns three other insurers, two domiciled in New Jersey and one domiciled in Florida, that are also in run-off. Clarendon and its subsidiaries reported combined total assets of $2,102.6 million and combined total liabilities of $1,845.8 million in their statutory financial statements as of March 31, 2011. The purchase price was $219.1 million and was financed in part by borrowing $106.5 million under a four-year term loan facility provided by National Australia Bank Limited, or NAB, and the remainder from available cash on hand.

Laguna

On March 25, 2011, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kenmare Holdings Ltd., completed the acquisition of Laguna Life Limited, formerly known as CitiLife Financial Limited, or Laguna, from Citigroup Insurance Holding Corporation, or Citigroup, an affiliate of Citigroup Inc. Laguna is an Ireland-based life insurer that is in run-off. The purchase price was €15.0 million (approximately $21.2 million) and was funded from available cash on hand. The previously disclosed purchase price of €30.0 million (approximately $42.4 million) was reduced, prior to completion of the acquisition, after Citigroup received approval from Laguna’s regulator to distribute €15.0 million (approximately $21.2 million) to its shareholders.

Significant New Business

Shelbourne RITC Transactions

In December 2007, we, in conjunction with JCF FPK I L.P., or JCF FPK, and a newly-hired executive management team, formed U.K.-based Shelbourne Group Limited, or Shelbourne, to invest in Reinsurance to Close or “RITC” transactions (the transferring of liabilities from one Lloyd’s syndicate to another) with Lloyd’s of London insurance and reinsurance syndicates in run-off. We own approximately 56.8% of Shelbourne, which in turn owns 100% of Shelbourne Syndicate Services Limited, the Managing Agency for Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008, a syndicate approved by Lloyd’s of London on December 16, 2007 to undertake RITC transactions with Lloyd’s syndicates in run-off.

JCF FPK is a joint investment program between Fox-Pitt, Kelton, Cochran, Caronia & Waller (USA) LLC, or FPK, and J.C. Flowers II, L.P., or the Flowers Fund. The Flowers Fund is a private investment fund advised by J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC. J. Christopher Flowers, one of our largest shareholders and formerly a member of our board of directors, is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC. In addition, an affiliate of the Flowers Fund controlled approximately 41% of FPK until its sale of FPK in December 2009.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

We reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $15.0 million and $23.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in earnings of approximately $8.5 million was attributable primarily to the following:


	(i)	an increase in general and administrative expenses of $12.4 million due primarily to increased professional fees, certain non-recurring expenses associated with legal fees and settlement costs related to certain litigation along with arrangement and agency fees related to our revolving credit facility;

	(ii)	lower net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $8.1 million;

	(iii)	an increase in net foreign exchange losses of $7.5 million;

	(iv)	a decrease of $2.2 million in income earned from our investment in our partly owned company;

(v) an increase in salary and benefit costs of $2.5 million due primarily to increased staff;


	(vi)	a decrease in consulting fees of $1.5 million; partially offset by

	(vii)	a decrease in income tax expense of $15.1 million due in large part to lower net earnings within our taxable subsidiaries; and

	(viii)	an increase in net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains of $9.4 million.

We recorded noncontrolling interest in earnings of $5.6 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net earnings attributable to Enstar Group Limited decreased from $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

We no longer report our results of operations by segments. We previously reported our results of operations under the consulting and reinsurance business segments, but we believe the consulting business no longer meets the criteria of an operating segment, as more fully described in Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consulting Fees:

	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	2,045	$	3,500	$	(1,455	)

We earned consulting fees of approximately $2.0 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in consulting fees related primarily to the decrease in management fees earned from third-party agreements. Consulting fee income as a percentage of net earnings has declined in recent periods, and we would expect it to remain at or around current levels in future periods, excluding the impact of any one time incentive based fees that we might receive. While we intend to continue to provide management and consultancy services, claims inspection services and reinsurance collection services to third-party clients in limited circumstances, our core focus continues to be acquiring and managing insurance and reinsurance companies and portfolios of business in run-off.

Total	$	22,928	$	22,998	$	(70	)	$	5,264	$	(4,227	)	$	9,491

Net investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $0.1 million to $22.9 million, as compared to $23.0 million for the same period in 2010.

The average annualized return on our cash and fixed maturities for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 2.44%, as compared to the average annualized return of 1.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The average credit rating of our fixed maturity investments at June 30, 2011 was AA-.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $5.3 million and $(4.2) million, respectively. The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) relate predominantly to mark-to-market changes in the market value of our equity investments and fixed maturity trading securities.

Net Reduction in Ultimate Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Liabilities:

The following table shows the components of the movement in the net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:


	Three Months Ended June 30,

Amortization of fair value adjustments		(6,969	)		(12,202	)

Net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities	$	34,315		$	42,366

Net reduction in case and loss adjustment expense reserves, or LAE reserves, comprises the movement during the quarter 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 reduction in incurred but not reported, or IBNR, represents the change in our actuarial estimates of losses incurred but not reported.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $27.8 million, comprised of net incurred loss development of $0.1 million and reductions in IBNR reserves of $28.0 million, primarily related to the completion of two commutations of our largest ten exposures. The reductions in provisions for bad debt of $1.7 million resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $35.1 million comprised net favorable incurred loss development of $5.9 million along with reductions in IBNR reserves of $29.2 million. The reductions in provisions for bad debt of $7.8 million resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	16,723	$	14,254	$	(2,469	)

Salaries and benefits, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $16.7 million and $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in salaries and benefits was attributable to:


	(i)	increased staff costs due to an increase in average staff numbers from 309 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to 348 for the three months ended June 30, 2010; and


	(ii)	increased U.S. dollar costs of our U.K.-based staff following an increase in the average British pound exchange rate from approximately 1.5256 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to 1.6173 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Of our total headcount as at June 30, 2010 and 2011, approximately 68% and 64%, respectively, had their salaries paid in British pounds; partially offset by

	(iii)	a decrease in the discretionary bonus expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as a result of lower earnings. Expenses relating to our discretionary bonus plan will be variable and are dependent on our overall profitability.

General and Administrative Expenses:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	28,211	$	15,801	$	(12,410	)

General and administrative expenses increased by $12.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due principally to:

(i) increased bank costs of $3.5 million primarily associated with the arrangement and agency fees paid in relation to the establishment of our revolving credit facility;

(ii) increased expenses of approximately $5.2 million due primarily to legal fees and settlement costs associated with certain litigation; and

(iii) increased actuarial consulting fees of approximately $2.0 million due to costs associated with ongoing and completed due diligence projects.

Interest Expense:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	1,697	$	2,805	$	1,108

Interest expense of $1.7 million and $2.8 million was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was attributable predominantly to the decrease in the total loans outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. As at June 30, 2010, we had approximately $270.9 million of outstanding loans as compared to approximately $205.6 million as at June 30, 2011.

Net Foreign Exchange Losses (Gains):


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010			Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	1,932	$	(5,615	)	$	(7,547	)

We recorded net foreign exchange losses of $1.9 million and gains of $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The net foreign exchange losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 arose primarily as a result of a decrease in the fair value of our Australian dollar forward exchange contract, which expired on June 30, 2011, resulting in $1.5 million being recorded as part of net foreign exchange losses.

The net foreign exchange gains for the three months ended June 30, 2010 arose primarily as a result of the holding of surplus U.S. dollar assets in one of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is Australian dollars at a time when the U.S. dollar was appreciating against the Australian dollar, partially offset by foreign exchange losses arising as a result of our holding surplus British pounds at a time when the British pound was depreciating against the U.S. dollar.

In addition to the net foreign exchange losses recorded in our consolidated statement of earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income currency translation adjustment gains, net of noncontrolling interest, of $7.6 million as compared to losses, net of noncontrolling interest, of $16.0 million for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the currency translation adjustments related primarily to our Australian based subsidiaries. As the functional currency of these subsidiaries is Australian dollars, we are required to 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,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	975	$	16,115	$	15,140

We recorded income tax expense of $1.0 million and $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was due predominantly to lower overall net earnings in our tax paying subsidiaries as compared to those earned in the same period in 2010.

Share of Net Earnings of Partly Owned Company:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	—	$	2,203	$	(2,203	)

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded $nil as our share of net earnings of partly owned company as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was attributable to the fact that we no longer have an investment in a partly owned company; during 2010, we disposed of our 44.4% indirect interest in Stonewall Insurance Company and we acquired a 100% interest in Seaton Insurance Company.

Noncontrolling Interest:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	5,639	$	11,050	$	(5,411	)

We recorded a noncontrolling interest in earnings of $5.6 million and $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2011 in noncontrolling interest was due primarily to a decrease in earnings for those companies where there exists a noncontrolling interest.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

We reported consolidated net earnings, before net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest, of approximately $20.1 million and $41.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in earnings of approximately $21.0 million was primarily attributable to the following:


	(i)	a decrease in the net reduction in ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities of $13.6 million;

	(ii)	an increase in general and administrative expenses of $19.7 million due primarily to an increase in professional fees, legal fees and settlement costs related to certain litigation and arrangement and agency fees associated with our revolving credit facility;

	(iii)	an increase in net foreign exchange losses of $7.3 million;

	(iv)	a decrease of $9.4 million in income earned from our investment in our partly owned company;


	(v)	a decrease in consulting fees of $11.5 million mainly related to lower fees earned from incentive based engagements; partially offset by

	(vi)	a decrease in income tax expense of $20.4 million due in large part to lower net earnings within our taxable subsidiaries;

	(vii)	the gain on bargain purchase of $13.1 million in 2011, which arose in relation to our acquisition of Laguna;

	(viii)	a decrease in salary and benefit costs of $2.3 million due primarily to the release back to earnings of the unallocated portion of the 2010 year end bonus accrual provision; and

	(ix)	an increase of $3.0 million in net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains (losses).

We recorded noncontrolling interest in earnings of $7.2 million and $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net earnings attributable to Enstar Group Limited decreased from $28.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Consulting Fees:

	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	6,081	$	17,628	$	(11,547	)

We earned consulting fees of approximately $6.1 million and $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in consulting fees primarily related to the decrease in incentive fees earned from third-party agreements. Consulting fee income as a percentage of net earnings has declined in recent periods, and we would expect it to remain at or around current levels in future periods, excluding the impact of any one time incentive based fees that we might receive. While we intend to continue to provide management and consultancy services, claims inspection services and reinsurance collection services to third-party clients in limited circumstances, our core focus continues to be acquiring and managing insurance and reinsurance companies and portfolios of business in run-off.

Total	$	41,470	$	49,119	$	(7,649	)	$	8,632	$	(2,025	)	$	10,657

Net investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $7.6 million to $41.5 million, as compared to $49.1 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was attributable largely to lower unrealized gains in our private equity portfolio, classified as other investments, from $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The average annualized return on our cash and fixed maturities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 2.15%, as compared to the average annualized return of 1.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The average credit rating of our fixed maturity investments at June 30, 2011 was AA-.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $8.6 million and $(2.0) million, respectively. The net realized and unrealized gains (losses) relate predominantly to mark-to-market changes in the market value of our equity investments and fixed maturity trading securities.

Gain on Bargain Purchase:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	13,105	$	—	$	13,105

Gain on bargain purchase of $13.1 million and $nil, was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The gain on bargain purchase was earned in connection with our acquisition of Laguna and represents the excess of the cumulative fair value of net assets acquired of $34.3 million over the cost of $21.2 million. This excess has, in accordance with the provisions of the Business Combinations topic of the FASB Codification, been recognized as income for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The gain on bargain purchase arose mainly as a result of our reassessment, upon acquisition, of the total required estimated costs to manage the business to expiry. Our assessment of costs was lower than the acquired costs recorded by the vendor in the financial statements of Laguna.

The reductions in provisions for bad debt of $1.7 million resulted from the collection of receivables against which bad debt provisions had been provided for in earlier periods.

The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $37.0 million comprised net favorable incurred loss development of $1.5 million along with reductions in IBNR reserves of $35.6 million.

	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	27,105	$	29,444	$	2,339

Salaries and benefits, which include expenses relating to our discretionary bonus and employee share plans, were $27.1 million and $29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The decrease in salaries and benefits was attributable to:


	(i)	the reduction in the discretionary bonus accrual of $7.2 million due to the release back to earnings in 2011 of approximately $4.0 million relating to the unallocated portion of the 2010 year end bonus accrual provision and the reduction in net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 2010. Expenses relating to our discretionary bonus plan will be variable and are dependent on our overall profitability; partially offset by

	(ii)	increased staff costs due to an increase in the average staff numbers from 302 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 344 for the six months ended June 30, 2011; and

	(iii)	increased U.S. dollar costs of our U.K.-based staff following an increase in the average British pound exchange rate from approximately 1.5269 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 1.6171 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Of our total headcount as at June 30, 2010 and 2011, approximately 68% and 64%, respectively, had their salaries paid in British pounds.

	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	45,961	$	26,288	$	(19,673	)

General and administrative expenses increased by $19.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due principally to:


	(i)	increased bank costs of $4.2 million primarily associated with the costs of establishing and maintaining our letters of credit, along with the arrangement and agency fees paid in relation to the establishment of our revolving credit facility;

	(i)	increased legal expenses of approximately $7.9 million due primarily to legal fees and settlement costs associated with certain litigation along with legal fees associated with ongoing due diligence projects;

	(iii)	increased rent and rent-related expense of $1.0 million due largely to rent recoveries reflected in 2010;


	(iv)	an increase in third-party management fees paid of $2.3 million related to transition fees paid in respect of recently completed acquisitions; and


	(v)	an increase in actuarial consulting fees of approximately $2.0 million due to costs associated with ongoing and completed due diligence projects.

Interest Expense:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	3,663	$	5,199	$	1,536

Interest expense of $3.7 million and $5.2 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to the reduction in loans outstanding along with an overall lower interest rate on those loan amounts that were outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. As at June 30, 2010, we had approximately $270.9 million of outstanding loans as compared to approximately $205.6 million as at June 30, 2011.

Net Foreign Exchange Losses:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	9,266	$	1,973	$	(7,293	)

We recorded net foreign exchange losses of $9.3 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the net foreign exchange losses arose primarily as a result of: (i) holding surplus British pound liabilities at a time when the British pound was appreciating against the U.S. dollar; (ii) the currency mismatch that is created by the holding of foreign currency available-for-sale security assets whereby any net foreign currency translation gains or losses on those assets are reflected in the balance sheet as part of accumulated other comprehensive income, but the net foreign currency gains or losses on the corresponding liabilities impact the statement of earnings; (iii) net foreign exchange losses arising 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 U.S. dollar was depreciating against the Australian dollar; and (iv) a decrease in the fair value of our Australian dollar foreign currency forward exchange contract, which was recognized as part of the net foreign exchange losses.

The net foreign exchange losses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 arose primarily as a result of holding surplus British pounds relating primarily to cash collateral requirements to support British pound denominated letters of credit required by U.K. regulators at a time when the British pound was depreciating against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by foreign exchange gains arising as a result of the holding of surplus U.S. dollar assets in one of our subsidiaries whose functional currency is Australian dollars at a time when the U.S. dollar was appreciating against the Australian dollar.

In addition to the net foreign exchange losses recorded in our consolidated statement of earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income

currency translation adjustment gains, net of noncontrolling interest, of $9.2 million as compared to losses, net of noncontrolling interest, of $12.1 million for the same period in 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the currency translation adjustments related primarily to our Australian based subsidiaries. As the functional currency of these subsidiaries is Australian dollars, we are required to 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:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	1,592	$	22,037	$	20,445

We recorded income tax expense of $1.6 million and $22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due predominantly to lower overall net earnings in our tax paying subsidiaries as compared to those earned in the same period in 2010.

Share of Net Earnings of Partly Owned Company:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	—	$	9,353	$	(9,353	)

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded $nil as our share of net earnings of partly owned company as compared to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was attributable to the fact that we no longer have an investment in a partly owned company; during 2010, we disposed of our 44.4% indirect interest in Stonewall Insurance Company and we acquired a 100% interest in Seaton Insurance Company.

Noncontrolling Interest:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2011		2010		Variance
	(in thousands of U.S. dollars)

Total	$	7,210	$	12,745	$	(5,535	)

We recorded a noncontrolling interest in earnings of $7.2 million and $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2011 in noncontrolling interest was due primarily to a decrease in earnings for those companies where there exists a noncontrolling interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Long-term Debt

On June 13, 2011, we, as borrower, and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with NAB and Barclays Corporate, the corporate banking division of Barclays Bank PLC, as bookrunners and mandated lead arrangers, certain financial institutions, as lenders, and NAB as agent, or the EGL Credit Agreement. The EGL Credit Agreement provides for a three-year revolving credit facility pursuant to which we are permitted to borrow up to an aggregate of $250.0 million, or the EGL Revolving Credit Facility, which will be available to prepay certain existing credit facilities of ours and certain of our subsidiaries, to fund permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes. Our ability to draw on the EGL Revolving Credit Facility is subject to customary conditions.

On June 30, 2011, we borrowed $167.7 million under the EGL Revolving Credit Facility, which was used to prepay $167.7 million representing the total amounts owing by us under the Knapton, Unionamerica and Enstar Group facilities. The prepayment of these existing credit facilities was a condition to our initial borrowing under the

EGL Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2010, the outstanding EGL Revolving Credit Facility loan balance was $167.7 million.

The EGL Revolving Credit Facility is secured by a first priority lien on the stock of certain of our subsidiaries and certain bank accounts held with Barclays Bank PLC in our name and into which amounts received in respect of any capital release from certain of our subsidiaries are required to be paid. Interest is payable at the end of each interest period chosen by us or, at the latest, each six months. The interest rate is LIBOR plus 2.75%, plus an incremental amount tied to certain regulatory costs that may be incurred by the lenders, if any. The unused portion of the EGL Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to a commitment fee of 1.10%. The EGL Revolving Credit Facility is subject to various financial and business covenants applicable to us, the guarantors and certain other material subsidiaries, including limitations on mergers and consolidations, acquisitions, indebtedness and guarantees, restrictions as to dispositions of stock and dividends, and limitations on liens on stock. As of June 30, 2011, all of the covenants relating to the EGL Revolving Credit Facility were met.

During the existence of any payment default, the interest rate is increased by 1.0%. During the existence of any event of default as specified in the EGL Credit Agreement, the agent may cancel the commitments of the lenders, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts immediately due and payable, declare all or a portion of outstanding amounts payable upon demand or proceed against the security. The EGL Credit Agreement terminates and all amounts borrowed must be repaid on June 13, 2014, the third anniversary of the date of the EGL Credit Agreement.

Clarendon

On March 4, 2011, we, through Clarendon Holdings, Inc., entered into a $106.5 million term facility agreement, or the Clarendon Facility, with NAB. The Clarendon Facility provides for a four-year term loan facility, available to be drawn to fund up to 50% of the purchase price of Clarendon. As of June 30, 2011, Clarendon Holdings, Inc. had not borrowed any of the amount available under the Clarendon Facility. On July 12, 2011, we fully drew down the Clarendon Facility in connection with the acquisition of Clarendon.

Private Placement

On April 20, 2011, we entered into an Investment Agreement, or the Investment Agreement, with GSCP VI AIV Navi, Ltd., GSCP VI Offshore Navi, Ltd., GSCP VI Parallel AIV Navi, Ltd., GSCP VI Employee Navi, Ltd., and GSCP VI GmbH Navi, L.P., or, collectively, the Purchasers, each of which is an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co. Under the Investment Agreement, we agreed to issue and sell, and the Purchasers agreed to purchase, at several different closings described below, securities representing 19.9% of our outstanding share capital pro forma for all the issuances, with the right to acquire an additional 2.0% on a fully diluted basis pro forma for all the issuances through the exercise of warrants as described below, although the Purchasers’ voting interest in us purchased pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be less than 4.9%. The securities that the Purchasers have acquired or, subject to certain conditions, will be acquiring at these closings can be further summarized as follows:

At the first closing, which occurred on April 20, 2011, we issued to the Purchasers 531,345 of our voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share, or the Voting Common Shares, and 749,869 of our Series A convertible non-voting preference shares, par value $1.00 per share, or the Non-Voting Preferred Shares, at a purchase price of $86.00 per share, and warrants to acquire 340,820 Non-Voting Preferred Shares for an exercise price of $115.00 per

share, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $110.2 million. Upon the receipt of shareholder approval to create three new classes of non-voting ordinary shares at our Annual General Meeting on June 28, 2011, or the Shareholder Approval, the Non-Voting Preferred Shares automatically converted on a share-for-share basis into our non-voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00, or the Non-Voting Common Shares, and the warrants became exercisable for Non-Voting Common Shares rather than Non-Voting Preferred Shares.

At the second closing, which is expected to occur after receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions (but not before December 23, 2011), we will issue to the Purchasers 134,184 Voting Common Shares and 827,504 Non-Voting Common Shares, at a purchase price of $86.00 per share, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $82.7 million.

At the third closing, which was approved by our shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on June 28, 2011 and which is expected to occur after receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions, we will issue to the Purchasers 1,148,264 Non-Voting Common Shares, at a purchase price of $86.00 per share, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $98.7 million. If the third closing occurs, it is expected to occur simultaneously with the second closing.

The total investment expected to be made by the Purchasers for the purchase of the Voting Common Shares, the Non-Voting Common Shares and the warrants is approximately $291.6 million.

We believe that the proceeds received and to be received in connection with the closings under the Investment Agreement will provide us with capital and financial flexibility to pursue desirable acquisitions of insurance and reinsurance companies in run-off and portfolios of insurance and reinsurance business in run-off.

Other than the above, there have been no material changes to our liquidity position or capital resource requirements since December 31, 2010. For more information refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Cash Flows

With respect to the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net cash used in our operating activities was $472.7 million and $695.6 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used of $222.9 million was attributable primarily to:

(i) an increase in the sales and maturities of trading securities of $566.3 million partially offset by an increase in purchases of trading securities of $224.5 million. The increase in sales, maturities and purchases of trading securities reflects the decision of our investment committee to increase the allocation of our investment portfolio to trading securities; partially offset by

(ii) an increase in the net changes in assets and liabilities of $73.4 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $386.1 million and $115.7 million, respectively. The increase in cash provided by investing activities of $270.4 million was attributable primarily to:

(i) an increase of $207.1 million in the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities due to the decision of our investment committee to increase the allocation of our investment portfolio to trading securities;

(ii) a decrease in the net amount of purchases and maturities of held-to-maturity securities of $146.9 million due to the decision of our investment committee, discussed above, to increase the allocation of our investment portfolio to trading securities;

(iii) a decrease of $42.7 million in funding of other investments; and

(iv) an increase of $56.4 million in transfers out of restricted cash and cash equivalents arising as a result of the purchase of restricted investments classified as trading securities; partially offset by

(v) a reduction in both the number and size of acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulting in a net reduction in cash flows related to acquisitions of $165.1 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $50.1 million and $29.6 million, respectively. The increase of $20.5 million in cash provided by financing activities was attributable primarily to the following:


	(i)	net proceeds of $105.7 million received from the completion of the private placement; partially offset by

	(ii)	a net increase in the repayment of outstanding bank loans of $60.8 million; and

	(iii)	a decrease in net capital contributions (including dividends) of $24.4 million received from noncontrolling interest.

Commitments and Contingencies

In February 2011, Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 entered into RITC agreements with two Lloyd’s syndicates with total gross insurance reserves of approximately $129.6 million. Our capital commitment to Lloyd’s Syndicate 2008 with respect to these two RITC agreements amounted to £21.3 million (approximately $34.1 million).

There have been no other material changes in our commitments or contingencies since December 31, 2010. Refer to Item 7 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting estimates 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, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet and Special Purpose Entity Arrangements

At June 30, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

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,” 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;

	•	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;

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

	•	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;

	•	operational risks as a result of our past and future acquisitions, such as cash flow shortages, personnel recruitment challenges, additional integration costs and excessive management time and effort;

	•	losses due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

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

	•	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;

	•	loss of key personnel;

	•	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;

	•	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;

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

	•	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; 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, 2010, as well as 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 as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.


Item 3.	*QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK*

In October 2010, we entered into a foreign currency forward exchange contract as part of our overall foreign currency risk management strategy. On the value date, June 30, 2011, we sold Australian Dollars (AU$) 45.0 million for $42.5 million. The contract exchange rate was AU$1 for $0.9439. On June 15, 2011, we effectively closed out the contract by entering into a forward exchange contract, with a value date of June 30, 2011, where we bought AU$45.0 million for $48.0 million. As at June 30, 2011, we did not have any foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding. Other than the foregoing, there have been no material changes in our market risk exposures since December 31, 2010. For more information refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” included in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.


Item 4.	*CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES*

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management 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, 2011. 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 that we are required to disclose 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, 2011. Based upon that evaluation there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2011 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, 2010. The risk factors identified therein have not materially changed.
