Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the federal securities laws. The events described in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report may not occur. Generally these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of our plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions to be made by us, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings or other aspects of our operating results. The words "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "project," "plan," "intend," "estimate," and "continue," and their opposites and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, that may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors which may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 under “Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition”.

Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

KINGSTONE COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business

Kingstone Companies, Inc. (referred to herein as "Kingstone" or the “Company”), through its subsidiary Kingstone Insurance Company (“KICO”), offers property and casualty insurance products to small businesses and individuals in New York State.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of SEC Regulation S-X. The principles for condensed interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2011. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) but, in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Note 2 – Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

The Company has reclassified certain amounts in its 2010 statements of consolidated operations and cash flows to conform to the 2011 presentation. None of these reclassifications had an effect on the Company’s consolidated net earnings, total stockholders’ equity or cash flows.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements consist of Kingstone and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries include KICO and its subsidiaries, CMIC Properties, Inc. (“CMIC Properties”) and 15 Joys Lane, LLC (“15 Joys Lane”), which together own the land and building from which KICO operates. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2010, the FASB issued new guidance concerning the accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. This guidance generally follows the model of that for loan origination costs. Under the new guidance, only direct incremental costs associated with successful insurance contract acquisitions or renewals are deferrable. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements” (“ASU 2011-03”). ASU 2011-03 provides amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 860 “Transfers and Servicing”, which remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 provides amendments to ASC No. 820 “Fair Value Measurement”, which results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure of fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Some of the amendments clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while others change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption not permitted.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 provides amendments to ASC No. 220 “Comprehensive Income”, which require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this update are effective retrospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted.

The Company has determined that all other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its operations.

Impairment Review

The Company regularly reviews its fixed-maturity securities and equity securities portfolios to evaluate the necessity of recording impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines (“OTTI”) in the fair value of investments. In evaluating potential impairment, management considers, among other criteria: (i) the current fair value compared to amortized cost or cost, as appropriate; (ii) the length of time the security’s fair value has been below amortized cost or cost; (iii) specific credit issues related to the issuer such as changes in credit rating, reduction or elimination of dividends or non-payment of scheduled interest payments; (iv) management’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in value to cost; and (v) current economic conditions.

OTTI losses are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income as net realized losses on investments and result in a permanent reduction of the cost basis of the underlying investment. The determination of OTTI is a subjective process and different judgments and assumptions could affect the timing of loss realization. There are 41 securities at June 30, 2011 that account for the gross unrealized loss. The Company determined that none of the unrealized losses were deemed to be OTTI for its portfolio of fixed maturity investments and equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Significant factors influencing the Company’s determination that unrealized losses were temporary included the magnitude of the unrealized losses in relation to each security’s cost, the nature of the investment and management’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery of fair value to the Company’s cost basis.

The Company held securities with unrealized losses representing declines that were considered temporary at June 30, 2011 as follows:

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows GAAP guidance regarding fair value measurements. The valuation technique used to fair value the financial instruments is the market approach which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets.

This guidance establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the assets or liabilities fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability. Classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy considers the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, including during period of market disruption, and the reliability and transparency of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The levels of the hierarchy and those investments included in each are as follows:

Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. Included are those investments traded on an active exchange, such as the NASDAQ Global Select Market, U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies, together with municipal bonds, corporate debt securities that are generally investment grade.

Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and market-corroborated inputs.

Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable for the asset or liability and are significant to the fair value measurement. Material assumptions and factors considered in pricing investment securities and other assets may include appraisals, projected cash flows, market clearing activity or liquidity circumstances in the security or similar securities that may have occurred since the prior pricing period. Included in this valuation methodology are the real estate assets owned by the Company that are utilized in its operations.

The availability of observable inputs varies and is affected by a wide variety of factors. When the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires significantly more judgment. The degree of judgment exercised by management in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized as Level 3. For investments in this category, the Company considers prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In periods of market dislocation, as characterized by current market conditions, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.

The Company’s investments are allocated among pricing input levels at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 as follows:

Note 5 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Equity and fixed income investments: Fair value disclosures for investments are included in “Note 3 - Investments.”

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Premiums receivable, reinsurance receivables: The carrying values reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of the assets.

Notes receivable: The carrying amount of notes receivable related to the sale of businesses approximates fair value because of the recently negotiated interest rates based on term of the loan, risk and guaranty.

Real Estate: The fair value of the land and building included in property and equipment, which is used in the Company’s operations, approximates the carrying value. The fair value was based on an appraisal prepared using the sales comparison approach.

Reinsurance balances payable: The carrying value reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximates fair value.

Notes payable (including related parties): The Company estimates that the carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value because of the recently negotiated interest rates based on term of the loan, risk and guaranty.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010

Note 6 - Notes Receivable-Sale of Businesses

Retail Business

New York Stores: On April 17, 2009, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that owned and operated 16 Retail Business locations in New York State sold substantially all of their assets, including their book of business (the “New York Assets”). The purchase price for the New York Assets was approximately $2,337,000, of which approximately $1,786,000 was paid at closing. Promissory notes in the aggregate original principal amount of approximately $551,000 (the “New York Notes”) were also delivered at the closing. On April 1, 2011 the purchaser of the New York Assets paid in advance the balance of the New York Notes in the amount of $138,762.

Pennsylvania Stores: Effective June 30, 2009, the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiary that operated the three remaining Pennsylvania stores (the “Pennsylvania Stock”). The purchase price for the Pennsylvania Stock was approximately $397,000 which was paid by delivery of two promissory notes, one in the approximate principal amount of $238,000 and payable with interest at the rate of 9.375% per annum in 120 equal monthly installments, and the other in the approximate principal amount of $159,000 and payable with interest at the rate of 6% per annum in 60 monthly installments commencing August 10, 2011 (with interest only being payable prior to such date).

Franchise Business

Effective May 1, 2009, the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiaries that operated the DCAP franchise business (collectively, the “Franchise Stock”). The purchase price for the Franchise Stock was $200,000 which was paid, by delivery of a promissory note in such principal amount (the “Franchise Note”). As of March 31, 2011, the terms of the Franchise Note called for installments of $50,000 on May 15, 2009, $50,000 on May 1, 2010, both of which were paid and $100,000 plus accrued interest on May 1, 2011 and provides for interest at the rate of 5.25% per annum. On May 1, 2011, the Franchise Note was amended. Under the amended Franchise Note, the payment due on May 1, 2011 was reduced to a principal payment only of $75,000. The remaining balance of $25,000 plus accrued interest of $12,797 is due on May 1, 2012. A principal of the buyer is the son-in-law of Morton L. Certilman, one of the Company’s principal shareholders at the time.

Notes receivable arising from the sale of businesses as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consists of:

Incurred losses and LAE are net of reinsurance recoveries under reinsurance contracts of $3,413,640 and $4,006,516 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Prior year incurred loss and LAE development is based upon numerous estimates by line of business and accident year. The Company’s management continually monitors claims activity to assess the appropriateness of carried case and IBNR reserves, giving consideration to Company and industry trends.

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves

The reserving process for loss adjustment expense reserves provides for the Company’s best estimate at a particular point in time of the ultimate unpaid cost of all losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred, including settlement and administration of losses, and is based on facts and circumstances then known and including losses that have been incurred but not yet been reported. The process includes using actuarial methodologies to assist in establishing these estimates, judgments relative to estimates of future claims severity and frequency, the length of time before losses will develop to their ultimate level and the possible changes in the law and other external factors that are often beyond the Company’s control. The loss ratio projection method is used to estimate loss reserves. The process produces carried reserves set by management based upon the actuaries’ best estimate and is the result of numerous best estimates made by line of business, accident year, and loss and loss adjustment expense. The amount of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for reported claims is based primarily upon a case-by-case evaluation of coverage, liability, injury severity, and any other information considered pertinent to estimating the exposure presented by the claim. The amounts of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for unreported claims are determined using historical information by line of insurance as adjusted to current conditions. Since this process produces loss reserves set by management based upon the actuaries’ best estimate, there is no explicit or implicit provision for uncertainty in the carried loss reserves.

Due to the inherent uncertainty associated with the reserving process, the ultimate liability may differ, perhaps substantially, from the original estimate. Such estimates are regularly reviewed and updated and any resulting adjustments are included in the current year’s results. Reserves are closely monitored and are recomputed periodically using the most recent information on reported claims and a variety of statistical techniques. Specifically, on at least a quarterly basis, the Company reviews, by line of business, existing reserves, new claims, changes to existing case reserves and paid losses with respect to the current and prior years.

Reinsurance

The Company’s reinsurance treaties for both its Personal Lines business, which primarily consists of homeowners’ policies, and Commercial Lines business, other than commercial auto were renewed as of July 1, 2011. The treaties are renewed annually; the terms of the treaties effective July 1, 2011 are as follows:

Personal Lines

Personal Lines business, which includes homeowners, dwelling fire and canine legal liability insurance, is reinsured under a 75% quota share treaty which provides coverage up to $700,000 per occurrence. An excess of loss contract provides $1,500,000 of coverage in excess of the $700,000 included under the 75% quota share treaty for a total coverage up to $2,200,000 per occurrence. Personal umbrella policies are reinsured under a 90% quota share treaty limiting the Company to a maximum of $100,000 per occurrence for the first $1,000,000 of coverage. The second $1,000,000 of coverage is 100% reinsured.

Commercial Lines

General liability commercial policies written by the Company, except for commercial auto policies, are reinsured under a 60% quota share treaty, which provides coverage up to $700,000 per occurrence. An excess of loss contract provides $1,500,000 of coverage in excess of the $700,000 included under the 60% quota share treaty for a total coverage up to $2,200,000 per occurrence.

Commercial Auto

Commercial auto policies are covered by an excess of loss reinsurance contract which provides $1,750,000 of coverage in excess of $250,000 for a total coverage up to $2,000,000 per occurrence.

Catastrophe Reinsurance

A total of $54,000,000 of catastrophe reinsurance coverage has been obtained, whereby the Company retains $500,000 per occurrence.

The Company’s reinsurance program is structured to enable it to reflect significant reductions in premiums written and earned and also provides income as a result of ceding commissions earned pursuant to the quota share reinsurance contracts. This structure has enabled the Company to significantly grow its premium volume while maintaining regulatory capital and other financial ratios generally within or below the expected ranges used for regulatory oversight purposes. The Company’s participation in reinsurance arrangements does not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders.

Ceding Commission Revenue

The Company earns ceding commissions under its quota share reinsurance agreements based on a sliding scale of commission rates and ultimate treaty year loss ratios on the policies reinsured under each of these agreements. The sliding scale includes minimum and maximum commission rates in relation to specified ultimate loss ratios. The commission rate and ceding commissions earned increases when the estimated ultimate loss ratio decreases and, conversely, the commission rate and ceding commissions earned decreases when the estimated ultimate loss ratio increases.

As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s estimated ultimate loss ratios attributable to these contracts are lower than the contractual ultimate loss ratios at which provisional ceding commissions are earned. Accordingly, the Company has recorded contingent ceding commissions earned in addition to the provisional ceding commissions earned.

Ceding commission revenue consists of the following:

Notes Payable

From June 2009 through January 2010, the Company borrowed $1,450,000 (including $785,000 from related parties as disclosed below) and issued promissory notes in such aggregate principal amount (the “2009 Notes”). The 2009 Notes provide for interest at the rate of 12.625% per annum through the maturity date of July 10, 2011. During the quarter the ended June 30, 2011, the Company prepaid $703,000 (including $407,000 to related parties) of the principal amount of the 2009 Notes. In June 2011, the remaining note holders agreed to extend the maturity date for a period of three years from July 10, 2011 to July 10 2014, and effective July 11, 2011, reduce the interest rate from 12.625% to 9.5% per annum. The remaining 2009 Notes, as extended, can be prepaid without premium or penalty.

Interest expense on the 2009 Notes for the six months ended and three months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $85,000 and $39,000, respectively. Interest expense on the 2009 Notes for the six months ended and three months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $87,000 and $46,000, respectively.

Related party balances as of June 30, 2011 and principal prepayments for the six months ended June 30, 2011 under the 2009 Notes are as follows:

Note 9 – Preferred Stock

In accordance with GAAP guidance for accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, the Company recorded previously issued Preferred Stock as a liability. All of the preferred stock was exchanged for common stock effective June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the preferred dividends have been classified as interest expense of $-0- and $74,706 (including $65,274 to related parties), respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the preferred dividends have been classified as interest expense of $-0- and $37,353 (including $32,637 to related parties), respectively.

Note 10 – Stockholder’s Equity

Dividend Declared

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend on August 11, 2011 of $.03 per share payable in cash on September 15, 2011 to stockholders of record as of August 30, 2011.

Other Equity Compensation

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include other share-based stock compensation expense totaling $-0- and $133,129, respectively. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include other share-based stock compensation expense totaling $-0- and $21,129, respectively. For the six months ended June, 2010, other equity compensation consists of: (a) 50,000 shares granted to the Company’s chief executive officer pursuant to an amended employment agreement dated March 24, 2010, and (b) 7,878 shares granted to directors. The fair value of stock grants is as follows:

	Three months ended				Three months ended				Six months ended				Six months ended
	June 30, 2011				June 30, 2010				June 30, 2011				June 30, 2010

The fair value of stock grants has been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income within other operating expenses.

Stock Options

In December 2005, the Company’s shareholders ratified the adoption of the 2005 Equity Participation Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options and restricted stock. Under the 2005 Plan, a maximum of 300,000 shares of Common Stock were permitted to be issued pursuant to options granted and restricted stock issued. In March 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company increased the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan to 550,000, subject to stockholder approval. In June 2010, the stockholders approved the increase to 550,000 shares. Incentive stock options granted under the 2005 Plan expire no later than ten years from date of grant (except no later than five years for a grant to a 10% stockholder). The Board of Directors or the Stock Option Committee will determine the expiration date with respect to non-statutory options, and the vesting provisions for restricted stock, granted under the 2005 Plan.

The results of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2011 include share-based stock option compensation expense totaling approximately $64,000 and $24,000, respectively. The results of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2010 include share-based stock option compensation expense totaling approximately $138,000 and $49,000, respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to stock options is net of estimated forfeitures of 21% for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2011. Share-based compensation expense related to stock options is net of estimated forfeitures of 23% for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2010. Such amounts have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income within other operating expenses.

Stock option compensation expense in 2011 and 2010 is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.04 per share. The fair value of options at the grant date was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants during the six months ended June 30, 2010:

Dividend Yield		0.00	%
Volatility		101.25	%
Risk-Free Interest Rate		2.62	%
Expected Life	5 years

A summary of option activity under the Company’s 1998 Stock Option Plan (terminated in November, 2008) and the 2005 Plan as of June 30, 2011, and changes during the six months then ended, is as follows:

Stock Options	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Outstanding at January 1, 2011		393,865	$	2.32		3.28	$	463,465

Granted			$	-		-	$	-
Exercised		-	$	-		-	$	-
Forfeited		-	$	-		-	$	-

Outstanding at June 30, 2011		393,865	$	2.32		2.79	$	262,594

Vested and Exercisable at June 30, 2011		251,932	$	2.25		2.37	$	186,147

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at June 30, 2011 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of the Company’s Common Stock for the options that had exercise prices that were lower than the $2.99 closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on June 30, 2011. No stock options were exercised in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was approximately $97,000. Unamortized compensation cost as of June 30, 2011 is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.40 years.

Note 11 – Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated U.S. Federal Income Tax return that includes all wholly-owned subsidiaries. State tax returns are filed on a consolidated or separate basis depending on applicable laws. The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2011 was 32.1% and 33.1%, respectively. A reconciliation of the Federal statutory rate to our effective rate from continuing operations is as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Computed expected tax expense		34.0	%		34.0	%		34.0	%		34.0	%
State taxes, net of Federal benefit		(1.2	)		0.8			(1.1	)		1.5
Permanent differences		(1.0	)		7.4			(1.3	)		6.7
Other		1.3			3.4			0.5			1.3
Total tax		33.1	%		45.6	%		32.1	%		43.5	%

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the enacted tax rates applicable to the period the temporary differences are expected to be recovered. Accordingly, the current period income tax provision can be affected by the enactment of new tax rates. The net deferred income taxes on the balance sheet reflect temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes, tax effected at a various rates depending on whether the temporary differences are subject to Federal taxes, State taxes, or both. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company’s net deferred tax liability was $1,935,645 and $1,998,557, respectively.

Under GAAP guidance for the “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefit and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. Additionally, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, provides guidance on the recognition of interest and penalties related to income taxes. There were no interest or penalties related to income taxes that have been accrued or recognized as of and for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. If any had been recognized these would be reported in income tax expense.

IRS Tax Audit

In July 2011, the Company received a notice that its Federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2009 has been selected for examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The audit has not yet commenced. The final results of this audit are unknown, although management is confident in the tax assertions made in the tax return.

Note 12 - Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

For the six months and three months ended June 30, 2011 there were 251,932 vested options with an exercise price below the average market price of the Company’s Common Stock during the period.

For the six months and three months ended June 30, 2010 there were 153,468 vested options with an exercise price below the average market price of the Company’s Common Stock during the period. For the six months and three months ended June 30, 2010 the inclusion of 39,178 shares of net Common Stock and 38,459 shares of net Common Stock, respectively, assumed to issued upon the exercise of such options in the computation of diluted earnings per share would have been anti-dilutive for both periods, and as a result, the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Common Stock have not been adjusted for the effects of such options.

The reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2011 follows:

Weighted average number of shares outstanding			3,838,386
Effect of dilutive securities, common share equivalents			82,903
Weighted average number of shares outstanding, used for computing diluted earnings per share			3,921,289

The reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 follows:

Weighted average number of shares outstanding			3,838,386
Effect of dilutive securities, common share equivalents			80,377
Weighted average number of shares outstanding, used for computing diluted earnings per share			3,918,763

Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. For example, to the extent a claim asserted by a third party in a law suit against one of the Company’s insureds covered by a particular policy, the Company may have a duty to defend the insured party against the claim. These claims may relate to bodily injury, property damage or other compensable injuries as set forth in the policy. Such proceedings are considered in estimating the liability for loss and LAE expenses. The Company is not subject to any other pending legal proceedings that management believes are likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.

Note 14 - Discontinued Operations

On April 17, 2009, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that owned and operated its former network of retail brokerage outlets in New York State sold substantially all of their assets, including the book of business (the “New York Assets”). As additional consideration, the Company was entitled to receive through September 30, 2010 an additional amount equal to 60% of the net commissions derived from the book of business of six New York retail locations that were closed in 2008. Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 includes approximately $-0- and $24,000 of income from additional consideration from the sale of the New York Assets. Income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 includes approximately $-0- and $10,000 of income from additional consideration from the sale of the New York Assets.

Note 15 – Subsequent Event

On August 11, 2011, KICO's board of directors approved a cash dividend of $175,000 to the Company, which was paid on August 12, 2011. Payment of the cash dividend will have no effect on the Company’s consolidated net earnings, total stockholders’ equity or cash flows.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

We offer property and casualty insurance products to small businesses and individuals in New York State through our subsidiary, Kingstone Insurance Company (“KICO”).

We derive substantially all of our revenue from KICO, which includes revenues from earned premiums, ceding commissions from quota share reinsurance, investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities. Earned premiums represent premiums received from insureds, which are recognized as revenue over the period of time that insurance coverage is provided (i.e., ratably over the life of the policy). A significant period of time normally elapses between the receipt of insurance premiums and the payment of insurance claims. During this time, KICO invests the premiums, earns investment income and generates net realized and unrealized investment gains and losses on investments.

Our expenses include the insurance underwriting expenses of KICO and other operating expenses. Insurance companies incur a significant amount of their total expenses from policyholder losses, which are commonly referred to as claims. In settling policyholder losses, various loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) are incurred such as insurance adjusters’ fees and litigation expenses. In addition, insurance companies incur policy acquisition expenses, such as commissions paid to producers and premium taxes, and other expenses related to the underwriting process, including their employees’ compensation and benefits.

Other operating expenses include the corporate expenses of our holding company, Kingstone Companies, Inc. These expenses include executive employment costs, legal, auditing and consulting fees, occupancy costs related to our corporate office and other costs directly associated with being a public company.

We utilize the following key measures in analyzing the results of our insurance underwriting business:

Net loss ratio. The net loss ratio is a measure of the underwriting profitability of an insurance company’s business. Expressed as a percentage, this is the ratio of net losses and loss adjustment expenses (“LAE”) incurred to net premiums earned.

Net underwriting expense ratio. The net underwriting expense ratio is a measure of an insurance company’s operational efficiency in administering its business. Expressed as a percentage, this is the ratio of the sum of acquisition costs (the most significant being commissions paid to our producers) and other underwriting expenses less ceding commission revenue less other income to net premiums earned.

Net combined ratio. The net combined ratio is a measure of an insurance company’s overall underwriting profit. This is the sum of the net loss and net underwriting expense ratios. If the net combined ratio is at or above 100 percent, an insurance company cannot be profitable without investment income, and may not be profitable if investment income is insufficient.

Underwriting Income. Underwriting income is net pre-tax income attributable to our insurance underwriting business except for net investment income, net realized gains from investments, and depreciation and amortization (net premiums earned less expenses included in combined ratio). Underwriting income is a measure of an insurance company’s overall operating profitability before items such as investment income, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income taxes.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kingstone Companies, Inc. and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, our management has utilized information available including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. It is possible that the ultimate outcome as anticipated by our management in formulating its estimates inherent in these financial statements might not materialize. However, application of the critical accounting policies below involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

We believe that the most critical accounting policies relate to the reporting of reserves for loss and LAE, including losses that have occurred but have not been reported prior to the reporting date, amounts recoverable from third party reinsurers, deferred policy acquisition costs, deferred income taxes, the impairment of investment securities, intangible assets and the valuation of stock based compensation. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - “Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation” for information related to updated accounting policies.

Direct written premiums during the six months ended June 30, 2011 (“2011”) were $20,120,000 compared to $16,593,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 (“2010”). The increase of $3,527,000 or 21.3% was primarily due to an increase in policies in-force during 2011 as compared to 2010. Policies in-force increased by 19.3% as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010. In addition to the increase of policies in-force, we are also writing more policies which have higher premiums

Net written premiums increased $1,060,000, or 15.0%, to $8,143,000 in 2011 from $7,083,000 in 2010. The increase in net written premiums resulted from an increase in direct written premiums in 2011 compared to direct written premiums in 2010. Net written premiums grew at a lower rate than direct written premiums (15.0 % compared to 21.3%) due to a greater increase in premiums written in lines of business that are subject to quota share treaties compared to lines of business that are not subject to quota share treaties.

Net premiums earned increased $2,045,000, or 42.2%, to $6,885,000 in 2011 from $4,840,000 in 2010. As premiums written earn ratably primarily over a twelve month period, the increase was a result of higher net written premiums for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

Ceding commission revenue was $5,040,000 in 2011 compared to $4,182,000 in 2010. The increase of $858,000 or 20.5% was due to the increase in the amount of premiums ceded and more favorable ceding commission rates. Ceding commission revenue also increased as a result of decreases in ceded loss ratios on prior year’s quota share treaties.

Net investment income was $338,000 in 2011 compared to $281,000 in 2010. The increase of $57,000 or 20.3% was due to an increase in average invested assets in 2011 as compared to 2010, offset by an adjustment to amortization of bond premium in 2011. The increase in cash and invested assets resulted primarily from increased operating cash flows. The tax equivalent investment yield, excluding cash, was 5.46% and 5.80% at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net loss and loss adjustment expenses were $4,374,000 in 2011 compared to $2,610,000 in 2010. The net loss ratio was 63.5% in 2011 compared to 53.9% in 2010. The increase of 9.6 percentage points in our net loss ratio for 2011 as compared to 2010 is primarily due to an increase in losses in our commercial auto line of business, which is not subject to a quota share treaty in 2011.

Commission expense was $2,877,000 in 2011 or 14.3% of direct written premiums. Commission expense was $2,360,000 in 2010 or 14.2% of direct written premiums. The increase of $517,000 or 21.9% is due to the 21.3% increase in direct written premiums in 2011 as compared to 2010.

Other underwriting expenses were $3,311,000 in 2011 compared to $2,532,000 in 2010. The $779,000 increase in other underwriting expenses was primarily due to expenses directly related to the increase in direct written premiums and additional employment costs due to the hiring of additional staff needed to service our growth in written premiums. The net underwriting expense ratio was 48.1% in 2011 as compared to 52.3% in 2010.

Other operating expenses, related to the corporate expenses of our holding company, were $603,000 in 2011 compared to $917,000 in 2010. The $314,000 decrease in 2011 was primarily due to decreases in professional fees and executive employment costs. The reduction of professional fees in 2011 was due to the elimination of the additional costs incurred in 2010 stemming from the acquisition of KICO on July 1, 2009. The reduction of executive employment costs is due to share-based bonus compensation to our Chief Executive Officer in 2010, which was incurred pursuant to his amended employment agreement dated March 24, 2010. No such share-based bonus compensation was incurred in 2011.

Interest expense was $85,000 in 2011 compared to $92,000 in 2010. The $7,000 decrease in interest expense was due to the $703,000 partial redemption of our 2009 Notes during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Interest expense on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock was $-0- in 2011 compared to $75,000 in 2010. The reduction was due to the exchange of all of the outstanding preferred stock into common stock on June 30, 2010, which resulted in the elimination of additional related interest expense as of that date.

Income tax expense in 2011 was $425,000, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 32.1%. Income tax expense in 2010 was $436,000, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 43.5%. The decrease in our effective tax rate resulted primarily from a change to tax exempt permanent differences in 2011 from taxable permanent differences in 2010. Permanent differences in 2011 had less of an impact on the effective tax rate due to a lower percentage of permanent differences to book income compared to 2010.

Net income was $900,000 in 2011 compared to $591,000 in 2010. The increase in net income of $309,000 was due to the circumstances that caused the increases in our net premiums earned and ceding commission revenue, and a decrease in other operating expenses, offset by increases in our net loss ratio and other underwriting expenses, as described above.

Direct written premiums during the three months ended June 30, 2011 (“Q2 2011”) were $10,587,000 compared to $8,932,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 (“Q2 2010”). The increase of $1,655,000 or 18.5% was primarily due to an increase in policies in-force during Q2 2011 as compared to Q2 2010. Policies in-force increased by 19.3% as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010. In addition to the increase of policies in-force, we are also writing more policies which have higher premiums.

Net written premiums increased $402,000, or 10.8%, to $4,106,000 in Q2 2011 from $3,705,000 in Q2 2010. The increase in net written premiums resulted from an increase in direct written premiums in Q2 2011 compared to direct written premiums in Q2 2010. Net written premiums grew at a lower rate than direct written premiums (10.8% compared to 18.5%) due to a greater increase in premiums written in lines of business that are subject to quota share treaties compared to lines of business that are not subject to quota share treaties.

Net premiums earned increased $896,000, or 34.1%, to $3,517,000 in Q2 2011 from $2,622,000 in Q2 2010. As premiums written earn ratably primarily over a twelve month period, the increase was a result of higher net written premiums for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2010.

Ceding commission revenue was $2,727,000 in Q2 2011 compared to $1,971,000 in Q2 2010. The increase of $756,000 or 38.4% was due to the increase in the amount of premiums ceded and more favorable ceding commission rates. Ceding commission revenue also increased as a result of decreases in ceded loss ratios on prior year’s quota share treaties.

Net investment income was $160,000 in Q2 2011 compared to $149,000 in Q2 2010. The increase of $11,000 or 7.4% was due to an increase in average invested assets in Q2 2011 as compared to Q2 2010, offset by an adjustment to amortization of bond premium during Q2 2011. The increase in cash and invested assets resulted primarily from increased operating cash flows. The tax equivalent investment yield, excluding cash, was 5.46% and 5.80% at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net loss and loss adjustment expenses were $1,824,000 in Q2 2011 compared to $1,176,000 in Q2 2010. The net loss ratio was 51.8% in Q2 2011 compared to 44.9% in Q2 2010. The increase of 6.9 percentage points in our net loss ratio for Q2 2011 as compared to Q2 2010 is primarily due to an increase in losses in our commercial auto line of business, which is not subject to a quota share treaty in 2011.

Commission expense was $1,505,000 in Q2 2011 or 14.2% of direct premiums written. Commission expense was $1,223,000 in Q2 2010 or 13.7% of direct written premiums. The increase of $282,000 or 23.1% is primarily due to the 18.5% increase in direct written premiums in Q2 2011 as compared to Q2 2010.

Other underwriting expenses were $1,734,000 in Q2 2011 compared to $1,428,000 in Q2 2010. The $306,000 increase in other underwriting expenses was primarily due to expenses directly related to the increase in direct written premiums and additional employment costs due to the hiring of additional staff needed to service our growth in written premiums. The net underwriting expense ratio was 49.3% in Q2 2011 as compared to 54.5% in Q2 2010.

Other operating expenses, related to the corporate expenses of our holding company, were $299,000 in Q2 2011 compared to $377,000 in Q2 2010. The $78,000 decrease in Q2 2011 was primarily due to decreases in professional fees and amortization of stock options. The reduction of professional fees in Q2 2011 was due to the elimination of the additional costs incurred in Q2 2010 stemming from the acquisition of KICO on July 1, 2009. The reduction in amortization of stock options decreased as a result of more stock options being fully vested prior to Q2 2011.

Interest expense was $39,000 in Q2 2011 compared to $47,000 in Q2 2010. The $8,000 decrease in interest expense was due to the $703,000 partial redemption of our 2009 Notes during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Interest expense on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock was $-0- in Q2 2011 compared to $37,000 in Q2 2010. The reduction was due to the exchange of all of the outstanding preferred stock into common stock on June 30, 2010, which resulted in the elimination of additional related interest expense as of that date.

Income tax expense in Q2 2011 was $383,000, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 33.1%. Income tax expense in Q2 2010 was $292,000, which resulted in an effective tax rate of 45.6%. The decrease in our effective tax rate resulted primarily from a change to tax exempt permanent differences in Q2 2011 from taxable permanent differences in Q2 2010. Permanent differences in Q2 2011 had less of an impact on the effective tax rate due to a lower percentage of permanent differences to book income compared to Q2 2010.

Net income was $774,000 in Q2 2011 compared to $358,000 in Q2 2010. The increase in net income of $415,000 was due to the circumstances that caused the increases in our net premiums earned and ceding commission revenue, and a decrease in other operating expenses, offset by increases in our net loss ratio and other underwriting expenses, as described above.
