These errors were discovered in the course of preparing [American Coastal’s] interim financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, and included errors in [American Coastal’s] accounting for income tax expense primarily relating to the deconsolidation of [American Coastal’s] former subsidiary, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company.” Accordingly, American Coastal determined that the statements at issue should no longer be relied upon.
