Exhibit 99.1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of Inter-Ocean Holdings Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Inter-Ocean Holdings Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of loss, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inter-Ocean Holdings Ltd. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INTER-OCEAN HOLDINGS LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2006
(expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
On February 23, 2007, Inter-Ocean Holdings Ltd. (“Inter-Ocean” or “the company”) was acquired by Oceania Holdings Ltd. (“Oceania”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enstar Group Limited.
Inter-Ocean was incorporated in Bermuda on May 31, 1990.
Inter-Ocean’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are Inter-Ocean Reinsurance Company Ltd. (“Inter-Ocean Re”), Inter-Ocean Reinsurance (Ireland) Ltd. (“Inter-Ocean (Ireland)”), Inter-Ocean Credit Products Ltd. (“Inter-Ocean Credit”) and Inter-Ocean Services Ltd. (“Inter-Ocean Services”).
In April 2005, the Board of Directors made the decision that the group would voluntarily cease underwriting new business.
Inter-Ocean Re was incorporated in May 1990 under the laws of Bermuda and is registered as a Class 3 insurer under The Insurance Act 1978 and related regulations. Inter-Ocean Re provided coverage of property and casualty risks on a finite risk basis.
Inter-Ocean (Ireland) is domiciled in Ireland and was incorporated in June 2000 as a reinsurance company to provide reinsurance of property and casualty risks on a finite risk basis.
Inter-Ocean Credit is domiciled in Bermuda and was incorporated in June 2001 to enter into non-insurance financial transactions.
Inter-Ocean’s policy was to arrange for the full reinsurance of the insurance risks which it underwrites in excess of net premium funds received. As a consequence, Inter-Ocean retains no net insurance risk in respect of business underwritten but instead retains a fee or margin relating to each contract assumed and, in certain cases, earns a profit commission on the results of business ceded. However, the company continues to be liable to its insureds and reinsureds should its reinsurers fail to meet their obligations.

(expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation — These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of Inter-Ocean’s consolidated financial statements necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the fiscal period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inter-Ocean and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Inter-Ocean Re, Inter-Ocean (Ireland), Inter-Ocean Credit and Inter-Ocean Services. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents — Cash equivalents comprise term deposits and short-term liquid marketable securities having a maturity of less than three months when acquired by the company.
Investments — The company’s marketable securities comprise debt securities other than debt securities with a maturity of less than three months when acquired. Under the terms of certain of the company’s reinsurance contracts the investment return on a portion of the portfolio is credited to the benefit of retrocessionaires. Pursuant to Derivative Implementation Guidance issue B-36 (“DIG B36”), this portion of the portfolio is classified as trading securities and the remainder of the portfolio is classified as available-for-sale securities. The net unrealized appreciation on available-for-sale securities, comprising unrealized gains and losses, represents the aggregate difference between the amortized cost of securities and the quoted market value of those securities at the period end. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation is included within accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Securities classified as trading are stated at fair value with gains and losses included in net realized investment gains. Net realized gains and losses, measured as the difference between the amount for which the securities are disposed and their amortized cost are included as a component of income.
The premium or discount arising from the purchase of marketable debt securities (including zero coupon bonds) held by the company, determined at the time of purchase, is amortized to maturity and the carrying value of such securities is adjusted monthly by the amount of the amortization.
Investments classified as available-for-sale are reviewed on a regular basis to determine if they have sustained an impairment of value that is considered to be other than temporary. There are several factors that are considered in the assessment of an investment, which include (i) the time period during which there has been a significant decline below cost, (ii) the extent of the decline below cost, (iii) the company’s intent and ability to hold the security, (iv) the potential for the security to recover in value, (v) an analysis of the financial condition of the issuer and (vi) an analysis of the collateral structure and credit support of the security, if applicable. The identification of potentially impaired investments involves significant management judgment. Any unrealized depreciation in value considered by management to be other than temporary is recognized in net earnings in the period that it is determined. Investment purchases and sales are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Insurance and reinsurance transactions — For all insurance and reinsurance agreements, as no net insurance risk is retained by the company, the company records the net fee or margin earned as a result of the transactions in the consolidated statement of loss over the period of gross insurance exposure.

INTER-OCEAN HOLDINGS LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

December 31, 2006
(expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
The insurance and reinsurance assets and liabilities relating to each of its direct, assumed and ceded agreements are recorded separately at their gross amounts in the consolidated balance sheet.
Under certain agreements, the company pays an investment return to retrocessionaires based upon the investment return earned by the Company on a portion of its investment portfolio. In these arrangements, gross investment returns are typically reflected in net investment income with a corresponding increase or decrease (net of a spread) being recorded as interest expense in the company’s Consolidated Statement of Loss. In such cases, an embedded derivative exists under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 133 Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) Issue No. B36. The fair value of these derivatives is recorded by the Company as an increase or decrease to the insurance and reinsurance receivable balance.
Deposit Assets and Liabilities — In the normal course of its operations, the Company enters into certain contracts that do not meet the risk transfer provisions of SFAS No. 113 “Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of Short-Duration and Long-Duration Contracts”. These contracts are accounted for using the deposit accounting method in accordance with Statement of Position 98-7 “Deposit Accounting: Accounting for Insurance and Reinsurance Contracts That Do Not Transfer Risk”.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses — The liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses includes an amount determined from loss reports and individual cases and an amount, based on historical loss experience and industry statistics, for losses incurred but not reported. These estimates are continually reviewed and are necessarily subject to the impact of future changes in such factors as claim severity and frequency. While company’s management believes that the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be significantly in excess of, or less than, the amounts provided. Adjustments will be reflected as part of net increase or reduction in loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities in the periods in which they become known.
The company’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries establish provisions for loss adjustment expenses relating to run-off costs for the estimated duration of the run-off. These provisions are assessed at each reporting date and provisions relating to future periods adjusted to reflect any changes in estimates of the periodic run-off costs or the duration of the run-off.
Profit commission — Certain of the company’s contracts accrue profit commissions representing estimated amounts that may be receivable from retrocedents based on the experience fund and commutation provisions of the agreements as at the consolidated balance sheet date. Any adjustments which may arise based on revisions to the profit commission are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which revisions and interest expense are made. Amounts recorded as profit commission are included in insurance and reinsurance fee income.
Investment income — Investment income and interest expense are recognized when earned and are stated net of amortization. Under the terms of certain of Inter-Ocean’s reinsurance contracts an investment return is credited to the benefit of retrocessionaires on loss and loss adjustment expense liabilities and insurance balances payable.
Foreign currency translation — Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the period end. Income and expense amounts are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time of the various transactions. Gains and losses arising from translation are included in income.
New Accounting Pronouncements — In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. FIN 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and the provisions of FIN 48 will be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of the Interpretation. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this Interpretation will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FIN 48 on its financial statements when adopted.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157, Fair Value Measurement. This Statement provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. Under this standard, the definition of fair value focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). FAS 157 clarifies that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. Further, FAS 157 requires tabular disclosures of the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy. FAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FAS 157 on its financial statements when adopted.
In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. The fair value option established will permit all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at a specified election dates. An entity shall record unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected through net income in the statement of operations at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FAS 159 on its financial statements when adopted.

Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities during 2006 were $69,696. Gross realized gains of $140 and gross realized losses of $124 were realized on those sales in the period.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value as at December 31, 2006 of debt securities, classified as available-for-sale by contractual maturity are shown below.

December 31, 2006
(expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Failure of insureds and reinsureds or reinsurers to pay amounts due under insurance and reinsurance contracts could result in losses to the company.
