Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On July 3, 2000, The Enstar Group, Inc. ("Enstar"), through B.H.
Acquisition Limited ("B.H. Acquisition") a joint venture with two co-investors
(the "Co-Investors"), acquired two reinsurance companies of Petrofina S.A., a
subsidiary of TotalFina Elf S.A. The reinsurance companies, Brittany Insurance
Company, Ltd., incorporated under the laws of Bermuda ("Brittany"), and
Compagnie Europeenne d'Assurances Industrielles S.A., a Belgium corporation
("CEAI"), were purchased by B.H. Acquisition for $28.5 million. In exchange for
a capital contribution of approximately $9.6 million, including approximately
$200,000 for the paying of expenses and working capital, Enstar received 50% of
the voting stock and a 33% economic interest in B.H. Acquisition. Enstar's
capital contribution to B.H. Acquisition was derived from cash on hand. The
total consideration paid to Petrofina S.A. and the amount of Enstar's capital
contribution to B.H. Acquisition was determined through arm's length
negotiations among representatives of the parties. Neither Enstar, nor any of
its affiliates had, nor to the knowledge of Enstar did any director or officer
or any associate have, any material relationship with Petrofina S.A., TotalFina
Elf S.A., or the Co-Investors.

         On July 5, 2000, Enstar issued a press release (the "Press Release")
announcing the completion of the acquisition of the two reinsurance companies.
The Press Release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein
by reference thereto.
