Item 4.02(a).   Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On May 12, 2008, we filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (the “Form 10-Q”). Note 2 (Acquisitions) to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of the Form 10-Q contained a proforma condensed combined income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2008 (the “March 2008 Proformas”) that gave effect to our acquisition of AMP Limited’s Australian-based closed reinsurance and insurance operations (“Gordian”) and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2008.
On June 3, 2008, management concluded and, on June 4, 2008, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors was advised that the March 2008 Proformas contained an error. In particular, Gordian’s total expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were overstated by approximately $24.7 million. Accordingly, management concluded that the previously issued Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 contained in the Form 10-Q and accompanying report of the independent registered public accounting firm should not be relied upon. We have restated the March 2008 Proformas to reflect the correct total expenses in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, filed concurrently with this Form 8-K. The error did not impact our revenue, net earnings or shareholders’ equity.
Management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors have discussed the matters disclosed in this filing with our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche.
