1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation and Consolidation
The Companys 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 Companys financial position and results of operations as at the end of and for the periods presented. Results of operations for subsidiaries acquired are included from the dates of their acquisition by the Company. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In these notes, the terms we, us, our, or the Company refer to Enstar Group Limited and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management believes that the amounts included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect its best estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Companys principal estimates include, but are not limited to:
| reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses; |
| policy benefits for life and annuity contracts; |
| gross and net premiums written and net premiums earned; |
| reinsurance balances recoverable, including the provisions for uncollectible amounts; |
| other-than-temporary impairments in the carrying value of available-for-sale investment securities; |
| valuation of certain other investments that are measured using significant unobservable inputs; |
| valuation of goodwill and intangible assets; and |
| fair value estimates associated with accounting for acquisitions. |
The following information should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period reported amounts of net increase (reduction) in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities and acquisition costs for non-life run-off to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on income or net earnings previously reported.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2014
ASU 2013-11 Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11). The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to improve the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. ASU 2013-11 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with both early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated statements of operations and financial position.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Torus Insurance Holdings Limited
On April 1, 2014, Kenmare Holdings Ltd. (Kenmare), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, together with Trident V, L.P., Trident V Parallel Fund, L.P. and Trident V Professionals Fund, L.P., which are managed by Stone Point Capital LLC (collectively, Trident), completed the previously announced acquisition of Torus Insurance Holdings Limited (Torus). Torus is an A- rated global specialty insurer with six wholly-owned insurance vehicles, including Lloyds Syndicate 1301. At closing, Torus became directly owned by Bayshore Holdings Ltd. (Bayshore), which was 60% owned by Kenmare and 40% owned by Trident.
The purchase price for Torus was established in the amended and restated amalgamation agreement as $646.0 million, to be paid partly in cash and partly in the Companys stock. The number of Company shares to be issued was fixed at the signing of the amalgamation agreement on July 8, 2013 and was determined by reference to an agreed-upon value per share of $132.448, which was the average closing price of the Companys voting ordinary shares, par value $1.00 per share (the Voting Ordinary Shares), over the 20 trading days prior to such signing date. On the day before closing of the amalgamation, the Voting Ordinary Shares had a closing price of $136.31 per share. At closing, the Company contributed cash of $41.6 million towards the purchase price and $3.6 million towards related transaction expenses, as well as 1,898,326 Voting Ordinary Shares and 714,015 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock of the Company (the Non-Voting Preferred Shares). Based on a price of $136.31 per share, the Companys contribution of cash and shares to the purchase price totaled $397.7 million in the aggregate. Trident contributed cash of $258.4 million towards the purchase price and $2.4 million towards related transaction expenses. Based on a price of $136.31 per share, the aggregate purchase price paid by the Company and Trident was $656.1 million.
FR XI Offshore AIV, L.P., First Reserve Fund XII, L.P., FR XII A Parallel Vehicle L.P. and FR Torus Co-Investment, L.P. (collectively, First Reserve) received 1,501,211 Voting Ordinary Shares, 714,015 Non-Voting Preferred Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. Following the approval of the Companys shareholders of an amendment to its bye-laws on June 10, 2014, First

Reserves Non-Voting Preferred Shares converted on a share-for-share basis into 714,015 shares of newly created Series E Non-Voting Convertible Common Shares (the Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares). Corsair Specialty Investors, L.P. (Corsair) received 397,115 Voting Ordinary Shares and cash consideration in the transaction. The remaining Torus shareholders received all cash. As a result of the amalgamation, First Reserve now owns approximately 9.5% and 11.5%, respectively, of the Companys Voting Ordinary Shares and outstanding share capital.
Upon the closing of the Torus acquisition, Bayshore, Kenmare and Trident entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the Bayshore Shareholders Agreement), which was subsequently amended, as described in Dowling Co-investments in Bayshore and Northshore below.

The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities of Torus based on estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The Company recognized goodwill of $13.0 million, all of which was recorded within the Torus segment and is attributable primarily to Torus assembled workforce (refer to note 19 for a description of the Companys segments) . The Company also recognized indefinite lived intangible assets of $23.9 million and other definite lived intangible assets of $20.0 million.
The Company has not completed the process of determining the fair value of its losses and loss adjustment expense reserves, goodwill and intangible assets acquired. These valuations will be completed within the measurement period, which cannot exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. As a result, the fair value recorded for these items is a provisional estimate and may be subject to adjustment. Once completed, any adjustments resulting from the valuations may impact the individual amounts recorded for assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the residual goodwill.
Prior to acquisition, Torus ceased underwriting certain lines of business in order to focus on core property, casualty and specialty lines. The results of the discontinued lines of business which were placed into run-off are included within the Companys non-life run-off segment.
Torus is a global specialty insurer that offers a diverse range of property, casualty and specialty insurance through its operations in the U.K., Continental Europe, the U.S., and Bermuda.
Results related to Torus run-off business are included within the Companys non-life run-off segment.

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

employees acquire shares. Shares generally vest over two to three years, although certain awards began vesting in 2014.
Dowling Co-investments in Bayshore and Northshore
On May 8, 2014, Dowling Capital Partners I, L.P. (Dowling) purchased common shares of both Bayshore and Northshore from Kenmare and Trident (on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective interests) for an aggregate amount of $15.4 million.
Prior to the sale of shares to Dowling, Kenmare and Trident owned 60% and 40% of Bayshore, respectively, and 57.1% and 38.1% of Northshore on a fully diluted basis, respectively (assuming full vesting of Atrium employees restricted shares totaling 4.8%). Following the sale of Bayshore shares to Dowling, Kenmare, Trident and Dowling own 59%, 39.3% and 1.7% of Bayshore, respectively. Following the sale of Northshore shares to Dowling, Kenmare, Trident, certain Atrium employees and Dowling own 56.1%, 37.4%, 4.8% and 1.7% of Northshore, respectively, on a fully diluted basis.1
In connection with the sale of Bayshore shares, the Bayshore Shareholders Agreement was amended and restated. The Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders Agreement, among other things, provides that Kenmare has the right to appoint three members to the Bayshore board of directors and Trident has the right to appoint two members. The Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders Agreement includes a five-year period (the Restricted Period) during which no shareholder can transfer its ownership interest in Bayshore to a third party unless approved by a super-majority of the shareholders. Following the Restricted Period: (i) each shareholder must offer Kenmare and Trident the right to buy its shares before the shares are offered to a third party; (ii) Kenmare can require each other shareholder to participate in a sale of Bayshore to a third party as long as Kenmare owns 55% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Bayshore held by Kenmare and Trident; (iii) each shareholder has the right to be included on a pro rata basis in any sales made by another shareholder; and (iv) each of Kenmare, Trident and Dowling has the right to buy its pro rata share of any new securities issued by Bayshore.
The Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders Agreement also provides that during the 90-day period following the fifth anniversary of the Torus closing, and at any time following the seventh anniversary of such closing, Kenmare would have the right to purchase the Bayshore shares owned by all other shareholders of Bayshore at their then fair market value, which would be payable in cash. Following the seventh anniversary of the Torus closing, Trident would have the right to require Kenmare to purchase all of Tridents shares in Bayshore for their then current fair market value and Dowling would have the right to participate in such transaction by requiring Kenmare to purchase all of its shares in Bayshore on the same terms. Kenmare would have the option to pay for such shares either in cash or by delivering the Companys Voting Ordinary Shares.
In connection with the sale of Northshore shares, the Northshore Shareholders Agreement was amended and restated. The Amended and Restated Northshore Shareholders Agreement provides for substantially the same rights and obligations as the Amended and Restated Bayshore Shareholders Agreement, except that the fifth and seventh anniversaries refer to the Arden closing.

The estimated total liabilities to be assumed are approximately $164.5 million, with an equivalent amount of assets to be received as consideration. Completion of the transaction is conditioned upon, among other things, regulatory approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2014.
Shelbourne RITC Transactions
Effective January 1, 2014, Lloyds Syndicate 2008 (S2008), which is managed by the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary and Lloyds managing agent, Shelbourne Syndicate Services Limited, entered into a reinsurance to close contract of the 2011 and prior underwriting years of account of another Lloyds syndicate, under which S2008 assumed total net insurance reserves of approximately £17.0 million (approximately $28.1 million) for cash consideration of an equal amount.
Effective December 31, 2012, S2008 entered into a 100% quota share reinsurance agreement with another Lloyds syndicate in respect of its 2009 and prior years of account (the 2009 Liabilities), under which S2008 assumed total gross insurance reserves of approximately £193.0 million (approximately $313.3 million) for consideration of an equal amount. Effective January 1, 2014, the 2012 Lloyds underwriting year of account of S2008 entered into a partial RITC transaction with respect to the 2009 Liabilities.
4. INVESTMENTS
The Company holds: (i) trading portfolios of fixed maturity investments, short-term investments and equities; (ii) a held-to-maturity portfolio of fixed maturity investments; and (iii) available-for-sale portfolios of fixed maturity and short-term investments. The Companys trading and available-for-sale portfolios are recorded at fair value. The Companys held-to-maturity portfolio is recorded at amortized cost.
In the normal course of the Companys investing activities, it actively manages allocations to non-controlling tranches of structured securities issued by variable interest entities (VIEs). These structured securities include residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and are included in the tables below.
In addition to these securities, the Company also invests in private equity funds, fixed income funds, fixed income hedge funds, equity and real estate debt funds and collateralized loan obligation (CLO) equity-tranched securities, which are all variable interests issued by VIEs. For these variable interests, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the economic performance of the VIEs and, accordingly, it is not the primary beneficiary for any of these VIEs. Its maximum exposure to loss on these interests is limited to the amount of its investment. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these structured securities other than its original investment.

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

Private equity funds
This class comprises several private equity funds that invest primarily in the financial services industry. All of the Companys investments in private equity funds are subject to restrictions on redemptions and sales that are determined by the governing documents and limit the Companys ability to liquidate those investments. These restrictions have been in place since the dates the initial investments were made by the Company.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $215.2 million and $161.2 million, respectively, of other investments recorded in private equity funds, which represented 2.7% and 2.5% of total investments, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Due to a lag in the valuations reported by the managers, the Company records changes in the investment value with up to a three-month lag. Management regularly reviews and discusses fund performance with the Companys fund managers to corroborate the reasonableness of the reported net asset values and to assess whether any events have occurred within the lag period that would affect the valuation of the investments.

Fixed income funds
This class comprises a number of positions in diversified fixed income funds that are managed by third party managers. Underlying investments vary from high grade corporate bonds to non-investment grade senior secured loans and bonds, but are generally invested in liquid fixed income markets. These funds have regularly published prices. The funds have liquidity terms that vary from daily to monthly.
Fixed income hedge funds
This class comprises hedge funds that invest in a diversified portfolio of debt securities. The hedge funds have imposed lock-up periods of three years from the time of the Companys initial investment. Once eligible, redemptions will be permitted quarterly with 90 days notice. In April 2014, the Company received $5.4 million following a redemption of shares of one of the funds in this class.
Equity funds
This class comprises equity funds that invest in a diversified portfolio of international publicly-traded equity securities.
Real estate debt fund
This class comprises a real estate debt fund that invests primarily in U.S. commercial real estate loans and securities. A redemption request for this fund can be made 10 days after the date of any monthly valuation; the fund states that it will make commercially reasonable efforts to redeem the investment within the next monthly period.
CLO equities
This class comprises investments in the equity tranches of term-financed securitizations of diversified pools of corporate bank loans. CLO equities denote direct investments by the Company in these securities.
Other
This class primarily comprises a fund that provides loans to educational institutions throughout the U.S. and its territories. Through these investments, the Company participates in the performance of the underlying loan pools. This investment matures when the loans are paid down and cannot be redeemed before maturity. Also included within this class is a catastrophe bond acquired as part of the Companys acquisition of Torus.
Redemption restrictions on other investments
Certain funds included in other investments are subject to a lock-up period. A lock-up period refers to the initial amount of time an investor is contractually required to invest before having the ability to redeem the investment. Funds that do provide for periodic redemptions may, depending on the funds

governing documents, have the ability to deny or delay a redemption request, which is called a gate. The fund may restrict redemptions because the aggregate amount of redemption requests as of a particular date exceeds a specified level. The gate is a method for executing an orderly redemption process that allows for redemption requests to be executed in a timely manner to reduce the possibility of adversely affecting the remaining investors in the fund. Typically, the imposition of a gate delays a portion of the requested redemption, with the remaining portion to be settled in cash sometime after the redemption date.
Certain funds included in other investments may be allowed to invest a portion of their assets in illiquid securities, such as private equity or convertible debt. In such cases, a common mechanism used is a side-pocket, whereby the illiquid security is assigned to a separate memorandum capital account or designated account. Typically, the investor loses its redemption rights in the designated account. Only when the illiquid security is sold, or is otherwise deemed liquid by the fund, may investors redeem their interest in the side-pocket.
At June 30, 2014, the Company had $2.6 million of investments subject to side-pockets ($3.2 million as of December 31, 2013). As of June 30, 2014, management has not made any adjustments to the fair value estimate reported by the fund managers for the side-pocketed investments.
The following tables present the fair value, unfunded commitments and redemption frequency for the funds included within other investments. These investments are all valued at net asset value as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price at which to sell an asset or transfer a liability (i.e. the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels as follows:
| Level 1Valuations 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 2Valuations 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 3Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The unobservable inputs reflect the Companys own judgment about assumptions that market participants might use. |
The following is a summary of valuation techniques or models the Company uses to measure fair value by asset and liability classes.
Fixed Maturity Investments
The Companys fixed maturity investments portfolio is managed by the Companys Chief Investment Officer and outside investment advisors with oversight from the Companys Investment Committee. Fair values for all securities in the fixed maturity investments portfolio are independently provided by the investment custodians, investment accounting service providers and investment managers, each of which utilize internationally recognized independent pricing services. Interactive Data Corporation is, however, the main pricing service utilized to estimate the fair value measurements for the Companys fixed maturity investments. The Company records the unadjusted price provided by the investment custodians, investment accounting service providers or the investment managers and validates this price through a process that includes, but is not limited to: (i) comparison of prices against alternative pricing sources; (ii) quantitative analysis (e.g. comparing the quarterly return for each managed portfolio to its target benchmark); (iii) evaluation of methodologies used by external parties to estimate fair value, including a review of the inputs used for pricing; and (iv) comparing the price to the Companys knowledge of the current investment market. The Companys internal price validation procedures and review of fair value methodology documentation provided by independent pricing services have not historically resulted in adjustment in the prices obtained from the pricing service.
The independent pricing services used by the investment custodians, investment accounting service providers and investment managers obtain actual transaction prices for securities that have quoted prices in active markets. For determining the fair value of securities that are not actively traded, in general, pricing services use matrix pricing in which the independent pricing service uses observable market inputs including, but not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, interest rates, prepayment speeds, default rates and such other inputs as are available from market sources to determine a reasonable fair value. In addition, pricing services use valuation

models, using observable data, such as an Option Adjusted Spread model, to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios. The Option Adjusted Spread model is commonly used to estimate fair value for securities such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.
The following describes the techniques generally used to determine the fair value of the Companys fixed maturity investments by asset class.
| U.S. government and agency securities consist of securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and mortgage pass-through agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other agencies. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes. These are considered to be observable market inputs and, therefore, the fair values of these securities are classified within Level 2. |
| Non-U.S. government securities consist of bonds issued by non-U.S. governments and agencies along with supranational organizations. The significant inputs used to determine the fair value of these securities include the spread above the risk-free yield curve, reported trades and broker-dealer quotes.

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

and current transactions are not orderly. In this event, securities are classified within Level 3. As at June 30, 2014, the Company had no residential or commercial mortgage-backed securities classified as Level 3. |
Equities
The Companys equities are predominantly traded on the major exchanges and are primarily managed by two external advisors. The Company uses Interactive Data Corporation, an internationally recognized pricing service, to estimate the fair value for all of its equities. The Companys equities are widely diversified and there is no significant concentration in any specific industry.
The Company has categorized all of its investments in equities other than preferred stock as Level 1 investments because the fair values of these investments are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value estimates of the Companys preferred stock is based on observable market data and, as a result, has been categorized as Level 2, with the exception of one investment in preferred stock that has been categorized as Level 3.
Other investments
The Company has ongoing due diligence processes with respect to funds in which it invests and their managers. These processes are designed to assist the Company in assessing the quality of information provided by, or on behalf of, each fund and in determining whether such information continues to be reliable or whether further review is warranted. Certain funds do not provide full transparency of their underlying holdings; however, the Company obtains the audited financial statements for funds annually, and regularly reviews and discusses the fund performance with the fund managers to corroborate the reasonableness of the reported net asset values. The use of net asset value as an estimate of the fair value for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value is a permitted practical expedient. While reported net asset value is the primary input to the review, when the net asset value is deemed not to be indicative of fair value, the Company may incorporate adjustments to the reported net asset value (and not use the permitted practical expedient) on an investment by investment basis. These adjustments may involve significant management judgment. As at June 30, 2014, there were no significant adjustments made to the reported net asset value.
For its investments in private equity funds, the Company measures fair value by obtaining the most recently provided capital statement from the external fund manager or third-party administrator. The funds calculate net asset value on a fair value basis. For all publicly-traded companies within these funds, the Company adjusts the reported net asset value based on the latest share price as of the Companys reporting date. The Company has classified its investments in private equity funds as Level 3.
The fixed income funds and equity funds in which the Company invests have been classified as Level 2 investments because their fair value is estimated using the published net asset value and because the fixed income funds and equity funds are highly liquid.
For its investments in fixed income hedge funds, the Company measures fair value by obtaining the most recently published net asset value as advised by the external fund manager or third-party administrator. The investments in the funds are classified as Level 3.

The real estate debt fund in which the Company invests has been valued based on the most recent published net asset value. This investment has been classified as Level 3.
The Company measures the fair value of its direct investment in CLO equities based on valuations provided by the Companys external CLO equity manager or, if not available or if the investment does not involve an external CLO manager, by using an income approach based on certain observable and unobservable inputs. At June 30, 2014, the Companys investments in CLO equities were valued using valuations provided by the external CLO equity manager. The Companys CLO equities investments have been classified as Level 3 due to the use of unobservable inputs in the valuation and the limited number of relevant trades in secondary markets.
In providing valuations, the CLO equity manager uses observable and unobservable inputs. Of the significant unobservable market inputs used by the CLO equity manager, the default and loss severity rates involve the most judgment and create the most sensitivity. A significant increase (or decrease) in either of these significant inputs in isolation would result in lower (or higher) fair value estimates for direct investments in the Companys CLO equities and, in general, a change in default rate assumptions will be accompanied by a directionally similar change in loss severity rate assumptions. Collateral spreads and estimated maturity dates are less judgmental inputs because they are based on the historical average of actual spreads and the weighted average life of the current underlying portfolios, respectively. A significant increase (or decrease) in either of these significant inputs in isolation would result in higher (or lower) fair value estimates for direct investments in the Companys CLO equities. In general, these inputs have no significant interrelationship with each other or with default and loss severity rates.
On a quarterly basis, the Company receives the valuation from the external CLO manager and then reviews the underlying cash flows and key assumptions used by the manager. The Company reviews and updates the significant unobservable inputs based on information obtained from secondary markets. These inputs are the responsibility of the Company and the Company assesses the reasonableness of the inputs (and if necessary, updates the inputs) through communicating with industry participants, monitoring of the transactions in which the Company participates (for example, to evaluate default and loss severity rate trends), and reviewing market conditions, historical results, and emerging trends that may impact future cash flows.
If valuations from the external CLO equity manager were not available or if the investment does not involve an external CLO manager, the Company would use an income approach based on certain observable and unobservable inputs to value these investments. Where an income approach is followed, the valuation is based on available trade information, such as expected cash flows and market assumptions on default and loss severity rates. Other inputs used in the valuation process include asset spreads, loan prepayment speeds, collateral spreads and estimated maturity dates.
The Companys catastrophe bond is recorded at fair value based on broker or underwriter bid indications, and has been classified as Level 2. The Companys remaining other investments have been valued based on the latest available capital statements, and have all been classified as Level 3.

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

The Companys acquired insurance and reinsurance run-off subsidiaries, prior to acquisition, used retrocessional agreements to reduce their exposure to the risk of insurance and reinsurance assumed. The Companys insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries remain liable to the extent that retrocessionaires do not meet their obligations under these agreements, and therefore, the Company evaluates and monitors concentration of credit risk among its reinsurers. Provisions are made for amounts considered potentially uncollectible (refer to note 19 for a description of the Companys segments).
On an annual basis, both Torus and Atrium purchase a tailored outwards reinsurance program designed to manage their risk profiles. The majority of Atriums total third party reinsurance cover is with Lloyds Syndicates or other highly rated reinsurers. The majority of Torus total third party reinsurance cover is with highly rated reinsurers or is collateralized by letters of credit.
The fair value adjustments, determined on acquisition of insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries, are based on the estimated timing of loss and loss adjustment expense recoveries and an assumed interest rate equivalent to a risk free rate for securities with similar duration to the reinsurance recoverables acquired plus a spread to reflect credit risk, and are amortized over the estimated recovery period, as adjusted for accelerations in timing of payments as a result of commutation settlements.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had, excluding reinsurance recoverables related to its life and annuities segment, reinsurance balances recoverable of $1.50 billion and $1.33 billion, respectively. The increase of $165.6 million in reinsurance balances recoverable was primarily a result of the Torus acquisition, partially offset by commutations and cash collections made during the period ended June 30, 2014.
As at June 30, 2014, the reinsurance balances recoverable associated with the Companys life and annuities business consists of term life business ceded by Pavonia to reinsurers under various quota share arrangements. All of the reinsurers are rated A- and above by a major rating agency.

5. REINSURANCE BALANCES RECOVERABLE(Continued)
For both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable relating to reinsurance balances recoverable was $338.6 million. To estimate the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable, the balances are first allocated to applicable reinsurers using management judgment. As part of this process, ceded incurred but not reported (IBNR) reserves are allocated by reinsurer. The ratio of the provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable to total non-life run-off reinsurance balances recoverable (excluding provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable) as of June 30, 2014 decreased to 18.1% as compared to 19.9% as of December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of reinsurance balances recoverable of Torus acquired during the year that required minimal provisions for uncollectible reinsurance recoverable, and cash collections from reinsurers with minimal bad debt provisions.
Top Ten Reinsurers
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the top ten reinsurers of the Companys business accounted for 61.9% and 68.3%, respectively, of total reinsurance balances recoverable (which includes total reinsurance reserves and paid losses recoverable) and included $329.5 million and $290.1 million, respectively, of IBNR reserves recoverable. With the exception of one non-rated reinsurer from which $189.3 million was recoverable (December 31, 2013: $256.2 million recoverable from one non-rated reinsurer and $41.1 million recoverable from one BBB+ rated reinsurer), the other top ten reinsurers, as at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were all rated A- or better. Reinsurance balances recoverable by reinsurer were as follows:

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

Net change in case and LAE reserves comprises the movement during the period in specific case reserve liabilities as a result of claims settlements or changes advised to the Company by its policyholders and attorneys, less changes in case reserves recoverable advised by the Company to its reinsurers as a result of the settlement or movement of assumed claims. Net change in IBNR reserves represents the change in the Companys actuarial estimates of losses incurred but not reported, less amounts recoverable.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2014
The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $37.2 million included an increase in incurred losses of $10.2 million related to current period earned premium, related primarily to the portion of the run-off business acquired with Torus. Excluding current period incurred losses of $10.2 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $47.4 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $26.8 million, paid loss recoveries on bad debt provisions of $11.2 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $12.9 million, relating to 2014 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $3.5 million.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
6. LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES(Continued)
The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $26.8 million was primarily related to:
(i) | the Companys quarterly review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $6.8 million; |
(ii) | a reduction in IBNR reserves of $10.0 million primarily as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Companys actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in Lloyds Syndicate 2008. The prior period estimate of aggregate IBNR liabilities was reduced as a result of the continued favorable trend of loss development compared to prior forecasts; and |
(iii) | favorable claims settlements during the three months ended June 30, 2014 resulting in a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of approximately $12.8 million. |
Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $27.4 million included losses incurred of $35.5 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright Holdings, Inc. (SeaBright). Excluding SeaBrights incurred losses of $35.5 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $62.9 million. This decrease was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $48.5 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $16.8 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $2.4 million.
The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $48.5 million was due primarily to:
(i) | the Companys review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $8.3 million; |
(ii) | net favorable incurred loss development of $25.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $8.3 million) which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of the Companys top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and |
(iii) | a reduction in IBNR reserves of $20.2 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Companys actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in one of its Bermuda-based reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for this subsidiary was reduced as a result of the favorable trend of loss development during 2013 compared to prior forecasts. |

Excluding current period incurred losses of $11.6 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $78.0 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $40.3 million, paid loss recoveries on bad debt provisions of $11.2 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $26.2 million, relating to 2014 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $(0.3) million.
The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $40.3 million was related primarily to:
(i) | the Companys quarterly review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $13.6 million; |

(ii) | a reduction in IBNR reserves of $10.0 million primarily as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Companys actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in Lloyds Syndicate 2008. The prior period estimate of aggregate IBNR liabilities was reduced as a result of the continued favorable trend of loss development compared to prior forecasts; and |
(iii) | favorable claims settlements during the six months ended June 30, 2014 resulting in a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of approximately $19.5 million. |
Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
The net reduction in ultimate losses and loss adjustment expense liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $18.3 million included incurred losses of $64.0 million related to premiums earned in the period by SeaBright. Excluding SeaBrights incurred losses of $64.0 million, ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses relating to prior periods were reduced by $82.3 million, which was attributable to a reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses of $53.6 million and a reduction in provisions for unallocated loss adjustment expense liabilities of $33.2 million, relating to 2013 run-off activity, partially offset by amortization of fair value adjustments over the estimated payout period relating to companies acquired amounting to $4.5 million.
The reduction in estimates of net ultimate losses relating to prior periods of $53.6 million was related primarily to:
(i) | the Companys quarterly review of historic case reserves for which no updated advices had been received for a number of years. This review identified the redundancy of a number of advised case reserves with an estimated aggregate value of approximately $16.6 million; |
(ii) | net incurred loss development of $1.0 million (excluding the impact of redundant case reserves of $16.6 million), which included the settlement of net ceded case reserves of $26.2 million (excluding ceded IBNR recoverable) for net paid receipts of $74.3 million relating to the settlement of five commutations and policy buy-backs of assumed and ceded exposures including the commutation of one of the Companys top ten ceded reinsurance balances recoverable; and |
(iii) | a reduction in IBNR reserves of $20.2 million as a result of the application, on a basis consistent with the assumptions applied in the prior period, of the Companys actuarial methodologies to revised historical loss development data to estimate loss reserves required to cover liabilities for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses relating to non-commuted exposures in one of its Bermuda-based reinsurance subsidiaries. The prior period estimate of aggregate net IBNR liabilities for this subsidiary was reduced as a result of the favorable trend of loss development during 2013 compared to prior forecasts. |
Atrium and Torus Segments
The Company did not have an active underwriting business for the three or six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company began reporting with respect to its Atrium segment in the fourth quarter of 2013 following the acquisition of Atrium and began reporting with respect to its Torus segment in this second quarter of 2014 following the acquisition of Torus.

12. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST(Continued)
Northshore owns 100% of Atrium and Arden and Bayshore owns 100% of Torus. The RNCI is classified outside of permanent shareholders equity on the Companys consolidated balance sheets due to the redemption rights held. The redemption rights held by Trident are described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company recognizes changes in the redemption value of the RNCI in Bayshores and Northshores earnings as if the balance sheet date was also the redemption date. As at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no adjustments recorded through retained earnings as the redemption value of Tridents interests approximated their carrying values.
On March 30, 2014, Trident contributed $260.8 million to Bayshore in relation to its 40% share of both the purchase price of Torus and the transaction costs related to the acquisition. On May 8, 2014, Dowling purchased common shares of both Northshore and Bayshore from Kenmare and Trident (on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective interests) for an aggregate amount of $15.4 million. On April 30, 2014, the 2014 portion of time-based restricted shares of Northshore, awarded to Atrium employees vested, which resulted in a deemed capital contribution of $1.9 million. The impact on Trident of these transactions was to reduce its RNCI in both Bayshore and Northshore from 40% to 39.32% and 38.97%, respectively.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending carrying amount of the equity attributable to the RNCI is as follows:

13. SHARE CAPITAL
As at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the authorized share capital was 111,000,000 ordinary shares (Voting Ordinary Shares) and non-voting convertible ordinary shares (Non-Voting Ordinary Shares), each par value $1.00 per share, and 45,000,000 preference shares of par value $1.00 per share. Each Voting Ordinary Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote. In accordance with the Companys bye-laws, however, any U.S. shareholder or direct foreign shareholder group whose shares constitute 9.5% or more of the voting power of the Voting Ordinary Shares would be entitled to less than one vote for each Voting Ordinary Share held by them.
In connection with the agreement to acquire Torus, on July 8, 2013, the Companys Board of Directors created 4,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Non-Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the Non-Voting Preferred Shares), from the authorized and unissued preference shares.

13. SHARE CAPITAL(Continued)
At the Companys annual general meeting on June 10, 2014, the Companys shareholders approved the amendment to its bye-laws to create the Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares, an additional series of Non-Voting Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the terms of the Non-Voting Preferred Shares, the Non-Voting Preferred Shares held by First Reserve converted on a share-for share basis into Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares immediately following the annual general meeting.
Additionally, the amended bye-laws approved by the Companys shareholders provide that all other Non-Voting Ordinary Shares authorized under the Companys bye-laws but not classified as Series A, B, C or D Non-Voting Ordinary Shares will be classified as Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares.
The Series E Non-Voting Ordinary Shares:
| have all of the economic rights (including dividend rights) attaching to Voting Ordinary Shares but are non-voting except in certain limited circumstances; |
| will automatically convert at a one-for-one exchange ratio (subject to adjustment for share splits, dividends, recapitalizations, consolidations or similar transactions) into Voting Ordinary Shares if the registered holder transfers them in a widely dispersed offering; |
| may only vote on matters as required under Bermuda law, and if required to vote under Bermuda law in connection with any merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Company, would have aggregate voting power not to exceed 0.01% of the aggregate voting power of the Companys issued share capital; and |
| require the registered holders written consent in order to vary the rights of the shares in a significant and adverse manner. |
Series B, C and D Non-Voting Ordinary Shares are described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. No Series B or Series D Non-Voting Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding.

The total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Companys non-vested share awards under the Equity Plan as at June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $6.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively. This cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.1 years. Compensation costs of $0.8 million and $1.5 million relating to these share awards were recognized in the Companys statement of earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to costs of $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 24,412 and nil shares, respectively, were awarded to non-executive officer employees under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the Equity Plan), in addition to the 3,006 and 2,540 shares issued related to the Companys employee share purchase plan during the same periods, respectively.
Cash-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted cash-settled stock appreciation right awards (SARs) under the Equity Plan. SARs give the holder the right, upon exercise, to receive in cash the difference between the market price per share of the Companys ordinary shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the SARs. The exercise price of the SAR is equal to the market price of the Companys ordinary shares on the date of the grant. Vested SARs are exercisable for a period not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant.
The Company has recorded compensation expense for the SARs based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the use of subjective assumptions related to the expected stock price volatility, expected term, expected dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. SARs are liability-classified awards for which compensation expense and the liability are re-measured using the then-current Black Scholes assumptions at each interim reporting date based upon the portion of the requisite service period rendered.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted 373,315 SARs to certain employees pursuant to the terms of the Equity Plan and recorded a compensation expense of $1.0 million in respect of the awards.

Under current Bermuda law, the Company and its Bermuda subsidiaries are exempted from paying any taxes in Bermuda on their income or capital gains until March 2035.
The Company has operating subsidiaries and branch operations in the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States and Europe and is subject to federal, foreign, state and local taxes in those jurisdictions. In addition, certain distributions from some foreign sources may be subject to withholding taxes.
The expected income tax provision for the foreign operations computed on pre-tax income at the weighted-average tax rate has been calculated as the sum of the pre-tax income in each jurisdiction multiplied by that jurisdictions applicable statutory tax rate.
The actual income tax rate differed from the amount computed by applying the effective rate of 0% under Bermuda law to earnings before income taxes as shown in the following reconciliation:

18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Companys portfolio of cash and fixed maturity investments is managed pursuant to guidelines that follow what it believes are prudent standards of diversification. The guidelines limit the allowable holdings of a single issue and issuers, and as a result the Company does not believe that there are any significant concentrations of credit risk associated with its portfolio of cash and fixed maturity investments.
The Companys portfolio of other investments is managed pursuant to guidelines that emphasize diversification and liquidity. Pursuant to these guidelines, the Company manages and monitors risk across a variety of investment funds and vehicles, markets and counterparties. The Company believes that there are no significant concentrations of credit risk associated with its other investments.
As of June 30, 2014, the Companys investments are held by 33 different custodians. These custodians are all large financial institutions that are highly regulated. The largest concentration of fixed maturity investments, by fair value, at a single custodian was $3.2 billion and $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

19. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company previously monitored and reported its results of operations in three segments: non-life run-off, life and annuities, and active underwriting. The active underwriting segment was primarily comprised of the results of operations of Atrium and Arden. As a result of the acquisition of Torus on April 1, 2014, the Company began reporting and monitoring its results of operations in four segments:
(i) | Non-life run-offThe Companys non-life run-off segment comprises the operations and financial results of our subsidiaries that are running off their property and casualty and other non-life lines of business together with the run-off businesses of Arden and Torus. It also includes the Companys smaller management business, in which it manages the run-off portfolios of third parties through the Companys service companies. |
(ii) | AtriumAtrium is an underwriting business at Lloyds of London, which manages Syndicate 609 and provides approximately 25% of the syndicates underwriting capacity and capital (with the balance provided by traditional Lloyds Names). Atrium specializes in accident and health, aviation, marine, property, non-marine property, professional liability, property and casualty binding authorities, reinsurance, upstream energy, war and terrorism insurance, cargo and fine art. Arden is a Bermuda-based reinsurance company that provides reinsurance to Atrium (through an approximately 65% quota share reinsurance arrangement with Atrium 5 Ltd, an Atrium subsidiary) and is currently in the process of running off certain other third-party business. Results related to Ardens run-off business are included within the Companys non-life run-off segment. |
(iii) | TorusTorus is a global specialty insurer that offers a diverse range of property, casualty and specialty insurance through its operations in the U.K., Continental Europe, the U.S. and Bermuda. The activities of this segment comprise the active underwriting business of Torus. |
(iv) | Life and annuitiesThe Companys life and annuities segment comprises the operations and financial results of its subsidiaries that are operating its closed-block of life and annuity business, which primarily consists of the companies it acquired in the Pavonia acquisition on March 31, 2013. |
Atrium and Torus are reported as separate segments because they are managed and operated in separate and distinct manners. Atriums senior management runs its day-to-day operations with limited involvement of the Companys senior management, whereas the Companys senior management and employees are involved in Torus day-to-day operations. Atrium employees are not involved in the management or strategy of Torus, nor are Torus employees involved in the management or strategy of Atrium. Atrium and Torus are monitored and reported upon separately and distinctly and their strategies and business plans are determined independently of each other.
