The amended filing corrects a misstatement in the classification of certain short-term and fixed maturity investments.It stated: “The misstatement was made in connection with our accounting for the acquisition of all of the shares of Household Life Insurance Company of Delaware (“HLIC DE”) and HSBC Insurance Company of Delaware (collectively with the subsidiaries of HLIC DE, the “Pavonia companies”), an acquisition that closed on March 31, 2013. We have determined that approximately $886.7 million of the approximately $1,257.1 million of short-term and fixed maturity investments acquired in our acquisition of the Pavonia companies should have been classified as held-to-maturity, rather than trading, as previously reported.”The misstatement had no impact on the total investments or total assets reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2013. The misstatement also did not impact Enstar’s revenue, net earnings, comprehensive income, or shareholders’ equity.The amended Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which is available on Enstar’s website, contains a more detailed description of the restatement.
