1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation | Kingstone Companies, Inc. (referred to herein as "Kingstone" or the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Kingstone Insurance Company (“KICO”), underwrites property and casualty insurance to small businesses and individuals exclusively through independent agents and brokers. KICO is a licensed insurance company in the States of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Texas; however, KICO writes substantially all of its business in New York. 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 condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2017. 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 three months ended March 31, 2017 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. |

2. Accounting Policies | 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. Such estimates and assumptions, which include the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, are subject to considerable estimation error due to the inherent uncertainty in projecting ultimate claim amounts that will be reported and settled over a period of several years. In addition, estimates and assumptions associated with receivables under reinsurance contracts related to contingent ceding commission revenue require considerable judgment by management. On an on-going basis, management reevaluates its assumptions and the methods of calculating its estimates. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements consist of Kingstone and its wholly owned subsidiaries; KICO and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CMIC Properties, Inc. (“Properties”) and 15 Joys Lane, LLC (“15 Joys Lane”), which together own the land and building from which KICO operates. All significant inter-company account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounting Changes In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-09, Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944): Disclosures About Short-Duration Contracts. The updated accounting guidance requires expanded disclosures for insurance entities that issue short-duration contracts. The expanded disclosures are designed to provide additional insight into an insurance entity’s ability to underwrite and anticipate costs associated with insurance claims. The disclosures include information about incurred and paid claims development by accident year, on a net basis after reinsurance, for the number of years claims incurred that typically remain outstanding, not to exceed ten years. Each period presented in the disclosure about claims development that precedes the current reporting period is considered required supplementary information. The expanded disclosures also include information about significant changes in methodologies and assumptions, a reconciliation of incurred and paid claims development to the carrying amount of the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses, the total amount of incurred but not reported liabilities plus expected development, claims frequency information including the methodology used to determine claim frequency and any changes to that methodology, and claim duration. The guidance became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and has been applied retrospectively. The new guidance affected disclosures only and had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 – Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires recognition of all income tax effects from share-based payments arising on or after January 1, 2017 (the Company’s adoption date) in income tax expense. As a result, the Company realized windfall tax benefits in the interim period of adoption of approximately $5,000, which was recognized as a discrete period income tax benefit as required by this ASU. This benefit resulted in lowering the Company’s effective tax rate for the interim period by 0.1%. Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-20, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company will apply the guidance using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01 – Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updated accounting guidance requires changes to the reporting model for financial instruments. The primary change for the Company is expected to be the requirement for equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842). Under this ASU, lessees will recognize a right-of-use-asset and corresponding liability on the balance sheet for all leases, except for leases covering a period of fewer than 12 months. The liability is to be measured as the present value of the future minimum lease payments taking into account renewal options if applicable plus initial incremental direct costs such as commissions. The minimum payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease or, if not known, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The lessee’s income statement treatment for leases will vary depending on the nature of what is being leased. A financing type lease is present when, among other matters, the asset is being leased for a substantial portion of its economic life or has an end-of-term title transfer or a bargain purchase option as in today’s practice. The payment of the liability set up for such leases will be apportioned between interest and principal; the right-of use asset will be generally amortized on a straight-line basis. If the lease does not qualify as a financing type lease, it will be accounted for on the income statement as rent on a straight-line basis. The guidance will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will apply the guidance using a modified retrospective approach. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating whether the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a significant impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The revised accounting guidance requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses of available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 will be effective on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The revised ASU provides accounting guidance for eight specific cash flow issues. FASB issued the standard to clarify areas where GAAP has been either unclear or lacking in specific guidance. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on its consolidated statement of cash flows. 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. |

Proceeds from the sale and maturity of fixed-maturity securities available-for-sale were $2,706,202 and $6,401,092 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of equity securities available-for-sale were $132,091 and $1,161,501 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s net realized gains (losses) on investments are summarized as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2017 2016 Fixed-maturity securities: Gross realized gains $ 13,123 $ 106,417 Gross realized losses (1) (36,120) (105,543) (22,997) 874 Equity securities: Gross realized gains - 82,688 Gross realized losses (31,509) (3,126) (31,509) 79,562 Net realized (losses) gains $ (54,506) $ 80,436 (1) Gross realized losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 include $747 of loss from the redemption of fixed-maturity securities held-to-maturity. Impairment Review Impairment of investment securities results in a charge to operations when a market decline below cost is deemed to be other-than-temporary. 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 in the fair value of investments. In evaluating potential impairment, GAAP specifies (i) if the Company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery and (ii) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery, the security would not be considered other-than-temporarily impaired unless there is a credit loss. When the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it will recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security as projected based on cash flow projections. For held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount of OTTI recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion of a previous OTTI is amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of timing of future estimated cash flows of the security. OTTI losses are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income 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. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 93 and 85 securities, respectively, that accounted for the gross unrealized loss. As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s held-to-maturity debt securities included an investment in one bond issued by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“PR”). In July 2016, PR defaulted on its interest payment to bondholders. Due to the credit deterioration of PR, the Company recorded a credit loss component of OTTI on this investment as of June 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the full amount of the write-down was recognized as a credit component of OTTI in the amount of $69,911. The Company determined that none of the other unrealized losses were deemed to be OTTI for its portfolio of fixed-maturity investments and equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. 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 an 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 as follows: March 31, 2017 Less than 12 months 12 months or more Total No. of No. of Aggregate Fair Unrealized Positions Fair Unrealized Positions Fair Unrealized Category Value Losses Held Value Losses Held Value Losses Fixed-Maturity Securities: Political subdivisions of States, Territories and Possessions $ 759,346 $ (18,806) 2 $ 313,326 $ (18,710) 1 $ 1,072,672 $ (37,516) Corporate and other bonds industrial and miscellaneous 26,857,516 (556,753) 46 238,393 (7,370) 1 27,095,909 (564,123) Residential mortgage and other asset backed securities 18,537,897 (308,073) 30 477,494 (26,361) 4 19,015,391 (334,434) Total fixed-maturity securities $ 46,154,759 $ (883,632) 78 $ 1,029,213 $ (52,441) 6 $ 47,183,972 $ (936,073) Equity Securities: Preferred stocks $ 3,376,750 $ (120,639) 7 $ 656,000 $ (75,322) 1 $ 4,032,750 $ (195,961) Common stocks - - - 291,000 (67,418) 1 291,000 (67,418) Total equity securities $ 3,376,750 $ (120,639) 7 $ 947,000 $ (142,740) 2 $ 4,323,750 $ (263,379) Total $ 49,531,509 $ (1,004,271) 85 $ 1,976,213 $ (195,181) 8 $ 51,507,722 $ (1,199,452) December 31, 2016 Less than 12 months 12 months or more Total No. of No. of Aggregate Fair Unrealized Positions Fair Unrealized Positions Fair Unrealized Category Value Losses Held Value Losses Held Value Losses Fixed-Maturity Securities: Political subdivisions of States, Territories and Possessions $ 1,067,574 $ (46,589) 3 $ - $ - - $ 1,067,574 $ (46,589) Corporate and other bonds industrial and miscellaneous 19,859,293 (638,113) 34 239,970 (5,612) 1 20,099,263 (643,725) Residential mortgage and other asset backed securities 15,918,090 (309,273) 30 675,316 (38,442) 6 16,593,406 (347,715) Total fixed-maturity securities $ 36,844,957 $ (993,975) 67 $ 915,286 $ (44,054) 7 $ 37,760,243 $ (1,038,029) Equity Securities: Preferred stocks $ 3,759,850 $ (241,333) 8 $ 660,750 $ (70,571) 1 $ 4,420,600 $ (311,904) Common stocks 288,075 (13,968) 1 424,550 (97,468) 1 712,625 (111,436) Total equity securities $ 4,047,925 $ (255,301) 9 $ 1,085,300 $ (168,039) 2 $ 5,133,225 $ (423,340) Total $ 40,892,882 $ (1,249,276) 76 $ 2,000,586 $ (212,093) 9 $ 42,893,468 $ (1,461,369) |

4. Fair Value Measurements | Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation technique used by the Company to fair value its financial instruments is the market approach which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. 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 Level 2 Level 3 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 ability to observe 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 as follows: March 31, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fixed-maturity securities available-for-sale Political subdivisions of States, Territories and Possessions $ - $ 7,758,804 $ - $ 7,758,804 Corporate and other bonds industrial and miscellaneous 65,841,558 4,825,398 - 70,666,956 Residential mortgage and other asset backed securities - 22,261,595 - 22,261,595 Total fixed maturities 65,841,558 34,845,797 - 100,687,355 Equity securities 10,102,495 - - 10,102,495 Total investments $ 75,944,053 $ 34,845,797 $ - $ 110,789,850 December 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fixed-maturity securities available-for-sale Political subdivisions of States, Territories and Possessions $ - $ 8,205,888 $ - $ 8,205,888 Corporate and other bonds industrial and miscellaneous 48,356,317 5,328,872 - 53,685,189 Residential mortgage and other asset backed securities - 18,537,751 - 18,537,751 Total fixed maturities 48,356,317 32,072,511 - 80,428,828 Equity securities 9,987,686 - - 9,987,686 Total investments $ 58,344,003 $ 32,072,511 $ - $ 90,416,514 |

The balance of advance premiums as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was approximately $1,965,000 and $1,422,000, respectively. Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) reserves: Three months ended March 31, 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of period $ 41,736,719 $ 39,876,500 Less reinsurance recoverables (15,776,880) (16,706,364) Net balance, beginning of period 25,959,839 23,170,136 Incurred related to: Current year 8,297,582 9,903,094 Prior years (4,586) (419,239) Total incurred 8,292,996 9,483,855 Paid related to: Current year 2,269,894 3,006,210 Prior years 4,090,766 3,421,820 Total paid 6,360,660 6,428,030 Net balance at end of period 27,892,175 26,225,961 Add reinsurance recoverables 16,719,411 19,804,804 Balance at end of period $ 44,611,586 $ 46,030,765 Incurred losses and LAE are net of reinsurance recoveries under reinsurance contracts of $4,233,804 and $4,313,667 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Prior year incurred loss and LAE development is based upon estimates by line of business and accident year. Prior year loss and LAE development incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $(4,586) favorable and $(419,239) favorable, respectively. The Company’s management continually monitors claims activity to assess the appropriateness of carried case and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves, giving consideration to Company and industry trends. 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. On at least a monthly 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. Several methods are used, varying by product line and accident year, in order to determine the required IBNR reserves. These methods include the following: Paid Loss Development Incurred Loss Development Paid Bornhuetter-Ferguson (“BF”) Incurred Bornhuetter-Ferguson (“BF”) Management’s best estimate of required reserves is generally based on an average of the methods above, with appropriate weighting of the various methods based on the line of business and accident year being projected. In some cases, additional methods or historical data from industry sources are employed to supplement the projections derived from the methods listed above. Two key assumptions that materially affect the estimate of loss reserves are the loss ratio estimate for the current accident year used in the BF methods described above, and the loss development factor selections used in the loss development methods described above. The loss ratio estimates used in the BF methods are selected after reviewing historical accident year loss ratios adjusted for rate changes, trend, and mix of business. The Company is not aware of any claims trends that have emerged or that would cause future adverse development that have not already been considered in existing case reserves and in its current loss development factors. In New York State, lawsuits for negligence are subject to certain limitations and must be commenced within three years from the date of the accident or are otherwise barred. Accordingly, the Company’s exposure to unreported claims (‘pure’ IBNR) for accident dates of March 31, 2014 and prior is limited although there remains the possibility of adverse development on reported claims (‘case development’ IBNR). The following is information about incurred and paid claims development as of March 31, 2017, net of reinsurance, as well as the cumulative reported claims by accident year and total IBNR reserves as of March 31, 2017 included in the net incurred loss and allocated expense amounts. The historical information regarding incurred and paid claims development for the years ended December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2015 is presented as supplementary unaudited information. Reported claim counts are measured on an occurrence or per event basis. A single claim occurrence could result in more than one loss type or claimant; however the Company counts claims at the occurrence level as a single claim regardless of the number of claimants or claim features involved.

The action was taken following a series of underwriting and pricing measures which were intended to improve the profitability of this line of business. The actions taken did not yield the hoped for results. In February 2015, the Company made the decision that it would no longer offer renewals on its existing commercial auto policies beginning with those that expired on or after May 1, 2015. The Company had -0- and 34 commercial auto policies in force as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s quota share reinsurance treaties are on a July 1 through June 30 fiscal year basis; therefore, for year to date fiscal periods after June 30, two separate treaties will be included in such periods. The Company’s quota share reinsurance treaties in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2017 for its personal lines business, which primarily consists of homeowners’ policies, were covered under the July 1, 2016/June 30, 2017 treaty year (“2016/2017 Treaty”). The Company’s quota share reinsurance treaties in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were covered under the July 1, 2015/June 30, 2016 treaty year (“2015/2016 Treaty”). The Company’s 2015/2016 Treaty and 2016/2017 Treaty provide for the following material terms: Treaty Year July 1, 2016 July 1, 2015 to to Line of Busines June 30, 2017 June 30, 2016 Personal Lines: Homeowners, dwelling fire and canine legal liability Quota share treaty: Percent ceded 40% 40% Risk retained $ 500,000 $ 450,000 Losses per occurrence subject to quota share reinsurance coverage $ 833,333 $ 750,000 Excess of loss coverage above quota share coverage $ 3,666,667 $ 3,750,000 in excess of in excess of $ 833,333 $ 750,000 Total reinsurance coverage per occurrence $ 4,000,000 $ 4,050,000 Losses per occurrence subject to reinsurance coverage $ 4,500,000 $ 4,500,000 Expiration date June 30, 2017 June 30, 2016 Personal Umbrella Quota share treaty: Percent ceded - first $1,000,000 of coverage 90% 90% Percent ceded - excess of $1,000,000 of coverage 100% 100% Risk retained $ 100,000 $ 100,000 Total reinsurance coverage per occurrence $ 4,900,000 $ 2,900,000 Losses per occurrence subject to quota share reinsurance coverage $ 5,000,000 $ 3,000,000 Expiration date June 30, 2017 June 30, 2016 Commercial Lines: General liability commercial policies, except for commercial auto Quota share treaty: Percent ceded (terminated effective July 1, 2014) None None Risk retained $ 500,000 $ 425,000 Losses per occurrence subject to quota share reinsurance coverage None None Excess of loss coverage above quota share coverage $ 4,000,000 $ 4,075,000 in excess of in excess of $ 500,000 $ 425,000 Total reinsurance coverage per occurrence $ 4,000,000 $ 4,075,000 Losses per occurrence subject to reinsurance coverage $ 4,500,000 $ 4,500,000 Commercial Umbrella Quota share treaty: Percent ceded - first $1,000,000 of coverage 90% Percent ceded - excess of $1,000,000 of coverage 100% Risk retained $ 100,000 Total reinsurance coverage per occurrence $ 4,900,000 Losses per occurrence subject to quota share reinsurance coverage $ 5,000,000 Expiration date June 30, 2017 Commercial Auto: Risk retained $ 300,000 Excess of loss coverage in excess of risk retained $ 1,700,000 in excess of $ 300,000 Catastrophe Reinsurance: Initial loss subject to personal lines quota share treaty $ 5,000,000 $ 4,000,000 Risk retained per catastrophe occurrence (1) $ 3,000,000 $ 2,400,000 Catastrophe loss coverage in excess of quota share coverage (2) (3) $ 247,000,000 $ 176,000,000 Severe winter weather aggregate (3) No Yes Reinstatement premium protection (4) Yes Yes (1) Plus losses in excess of catastrophe coverage.

Effective July 1, 2016, the duration of a catastrophe occurrence from windstorm, hail, tornado, hurricane and cyclone was extended to 168 consecutive hours from 120 consecutive hours. (3) From July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, catastrophe treaty also covered losses caused by severe winter weather during any consecutive 28 day period. (4) Effective July 1, 2015, reinstatement premium protection for $16,000,000 of catastrophe coverage in excess of $4,000,000. Effective July 1, 2016, reinstatement premium protection for $20,000,000 of catastrophe coverage in excess of $5,000,000. The single maximum risks per occurrence to which the Company is subject under the new treaties effective July 1, 2016 and under the treaties that expired on June 30, 2016 are as follows: July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2017 July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016 Treaty Extent of Loss Risk Retained Extent of Loss Risk Retained Personal Lines Initial $833,333 $500,000 Initial $750,000 $450,000 $833,333 - $4,500,000 None(1) $750,000 - $4,500,000 None(1) Over $4,500,000 100% Over $4,500,000 100% Personal Umbrella Initial $1,000,000 $100,000 Initial $1,000,000 $100,000 $1,000,000 - $5,000,000 None(1) $1,000,000 - $3,000,000 None(1) Over $5,000,000 100% Over $3,000,000 100% Commercial Lines Initial $500,000 $500,000 Initial $425,000 $425,000 $500,000 - $4,500,000 None(1) $425,000 - $4,500,000 None(1) Over $4,500,000 100% Over $4,500,000 100% Commercial Umbrella Initial $1,000,000 $100,000 $1,000,000 - $5,000,000 None(1) Over $5,000,000 100% Catastrophe (2) Initial $5,000,000 $3,000,000 Initial $4,000,000 $2,400,000 $5,000,000 - $252,000,000 None $4,000,000 - $180,000,000 None Over $252,000,000 100% Over $180,000,000 100% ________________ (1) Covered by excess of loss treaties. (2) Catastrophe coverage is limited on an annual basis to two times the per occurrence amounts. In March 2017, the Company bound its personal lines quota share reinsurance treaty effective July 1, 2017. The treaty provides for a reduction in the quota share ceding rate to 20%, from the current 40% in the expiring treaty, and the provisional ceding commission rate increases to 52.5%, from the current 52.0% in the expiring treaty. The new treaty covers a two year period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019 (“2017/2019 Treaty”). The Company shall have the option under broad circumstances to reduce the quota share ceding rate or terminate the 2017/2019 Treaty effective July 1, 2018 by giving advance notice to the two reinsurers who participate in the quota share reinsurance treaty. The two reinsurers who participate in the quota share reinsurance treaty shall have the option under limited circumstances to reduce the quota share ceding rate or terminate the 2017/2019 Treaty effective July 1, 2018 by giving advance notice to the Company. Ceding Commission Revenue The Company earns ceding commission revenue under its quota share reinsurance agreements based on: (i) a fixed provisional commission rate at which provisional ceding commissions are earned, and (ii) a sliding scale of commission rates and ultimate treaty year loss ratios on the policies reinsured under each of these agreements based upon which contingent ceding commissions are earned. The sliding scale includes minimum and maximum commission rates in relation to specified ultimate loss ratios. The commission rate and contingent ceding commissions earned increases when the estimated ultimate loss ratio decreases and, conversely, the commission rate and contingent ceding commissions earned decreases when the estimated ultimate loss ratio increases. The Company’s estimated ultimate treaty year loss ratios (“Loss Ratio(s)”) for treaties in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are attributable to contracts for the 2016/2017 Treaty. The Company’s Loss Ratios for treaties in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are attributable to contracts for the 2015/2016 Treaty. Treaties in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2017 Under the 2016/2017 Treaty, the Company is receiving a higher upfront fixed provisional rate in exchange for a less favorable sliding scale contingent rate. Under this arrangement, the Company earns more provisional ceding commissions, while contingent ceding commissions are reduced due to the less favorable sliding scale rate. The Company’s Loss Ratios for the period July 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017 (attributable to the 2016/2017 Treaty) were consistent with the contractual Loss Ratio at which the provisional ceding commissions are earned and therefore no contingent commission was recorded. Treaties in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2016 Under the 2015/2016 Treaty, the Company is receiving a higher upfront fixed provisional rate in exchange for a less favorable sliding scale contingent rate. Under this arrangement, the Company earns more provisional ceding commissions, while contingent ceding commissions are reduced due to the less favorable sliding scale rate. The Company’s Loss Ratio for the period July 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, which is attributable to the 2015/2016 Treaty, was higher than the contractual Loss Ratio at which provisional ceding commissions are earned. Accordingly, for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, the Company’s contingent ceding commission earned was reduced as a result of the estimated Loss Ratio for the 2015/2016 Treaty. In addition to the treaties that were in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Loss Ratios from prior years’ treaties are subject to change as loss reserves from those periods increase or decrease, resulting in an increase or decrease in the commission rate and contingent ceding commissions earned. Ceding commission revenue consists of the following: Three months ended March 31, 2017 2016 Provisional ceding commissions earned $ 3,343,769 $ 3,099,614 Contingent ceding commissions earned (159,317) (329,277) $ 3,184,452 $ 2,770,337 Provisional ceding commissions are settled monthly. Balances due from reinsurers for contingent ceding commissions on quota share treaties are settled annually based on the loss ratio of each treaty year that ends on June 30. As discussed above, the Loss Ratios from prior years’ treaties are subject to change as incurred losses from those periods develop, resulting in an increase or decrease in the commission rate and contingent ceding commissions earned. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, net contingent ceding commissions payable to reinsurers under all treaties was approximately $1,051,000 and $773,000, respectively. |

7. Stockholders' Equity | Public Offering of Common Stock On January 31, 2017, the Company closed on an underwritten public offering of 2,500,000 shares of its Common Stock. On February 14, 2017, the Company closed on the underwriters’ purchase option for an additional 192,500 shares of its Common Stock. The public offering price for the 2,692,500 shares sold was $12.00 per share. The aggregate net proceeds to the Company was approximately $30,137,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses in the aggregate amount of $2,173,000. On March 1, 2017, the Company used $23,000,000 of the net proceeds of the offering to contribute capital to its insurance subsidiary, KICO, to support its ratings upgrade plan and additional growth. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. A shelf registration statement relating to the shares sold in the offering was filed with the SEC and became effective on January 19, 2017. Dividends Declared Dividends declared and paid on Common Stock were $663,837 and $457,603 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend on May 10, 2017 of $.08 per share payable in cash on June 15, 2017 to stockholders of record as of May 31, 2017 (see Note 11). Stock Options Pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Equity Participation Plan (the “2005 Plan”), which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options and restricted stock, a maximum of 700,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock are permitted to be issued pursuant to options granted and restricted stock issued. Pursuant to the Company’s 2014 Equity Participation Plan (the “2014 Plan”), a maximum of 700,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company are authorized to be issued pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock bonuses. Incentive stock options granted under the 2014 Plan and 2005 Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant (except no later than five years for a grant to a 10% stockholder). The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board determines the expiration date with respect to non-statutory stock options and the vesting provisions for restricted stock granted under the 2014 Plan and 2005 Plan. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 include stock-based stock option compensation expense totaling approximately $16,000 and $32,000 respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options is net of estimated forfeitures of 17% for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Such amounts have been included in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income within other operating expenses. Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 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 less an estimate for anticipated forfeitures. The Company uses the “simplified” method to estimate the expected term of the options because the Company’s historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.97 per share. The fair value of stock options at the grant date was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants during the following periods: Three months ended March 31, 2017 2016 Dividend Yield n/a 3.18% Volatility n/a 31.61% Risk-Free Interest Rate n/a 1.11% Expected Life n/a 3.25 years The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our stock options. A summary of stock option activity under the Company’s 2014 Plan and 2005 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2017 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, 2017 362,750 $ 6.62 2.61 $ 2,586,748 Granted - $ - $ - Exercised (5,250) $ 6.53 $ 37,863 Forfeited - $ - $ - Outstanding at March 31, 2017 357,500 $ 6.62 2.37 $ 3,335,360 Vested and Exercisable at March 31, 2017 271,250 $ 6.43 2.23 $ 2,581,023 The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at March 31, 2017 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 $15.95 closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on March 31, 2017. Participants in the 2005 and 2014 Plans may exercise their outstanding vested options, in whole or in part, by having the Company reduce the number of shares otherwise issuable by a number of shares having a fair market value equal to the exercise price of the option being exercised (“Net Exercise”). The Company received cash proceeds of $33,000 from the exercise of options for the purchase of 5,000 shares of Common Stock during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The remaining 250 options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were Net Exercises, resulting in the issuance of 166 shares of Common Stock. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was approximately $28,000. Unamortized compensation cost as of March 31, 2017 is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 0.70 years. As of March 31, 2017, there were 578,500 shares reserved for grants under the 2014 Plan. Other Equity Compensation In January 2017, the Company granted a total of 8,000 shares of restricted Common Stock under the 2014 Plan to its four non-employee directors. In January 2016, the Company granted a total of 6,000 shares of restricted Common Stock under the 2014 Plan to its three then non-employee directors. In March 2016, the Company granted 1,500 shares of restricted Common Stock under the 2014 Plan to a newly elected non-employee director. One-third of the shares granted will vest on each of the three annual anniversaries following the grant date. In February 2017, the Company granted a total of 16,000 shares of restricted Common Stock under the 2014 Plan to two executive officers. The shares granted will vest on a monthly basis over the three year period following the grant date. The fair value of the shares will be determined on each of the vesting dates. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, stock-based compensation of approximately $43,000 for these grants is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. |
8. Income Taxes
8. Income Taxes | 3 Months Ended |

Notes to Financial Statements | |
8. 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 return basis depending on applicable laws. The Company records adjustments related to prior years’ taxes during the period when they are identified, generally when the tax returns are filed. The effect of these adjustments on the current and prior periods (during which the differences originated) is evaluated based upon quantitative and qualitative factors and are considered in relation to the condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole for the respective periods. 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 various rates depending on whether the temporary differences are subject to federal taxes, state taxes, or both. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 Deferred tax asset: Net operating loss carryovers (1) $ 112,760 $ 131,626 Claims reserve discount 448,437 417,349 Unearned premium 2,902,155 2,877,365 Deferred ceding commission revenue 2,302,771 2,329,626 Other 166,025 188,675 Total deferred tax assets 5,932,148 5,944,641 Deferred tax liability: Investment in KICO (2) 1,169,000 1,169,000 Deferred acquisition costs 4,239,112 4,161,526 Intangibles 430,100 459,000 Depreciation and amortization 250,206 265,671 Net unrealized appreciation of securities - available for sale 240,155 56,393 Total deferred tax liabilities 6,328,573 6,111,590 Net deferred income tax liability $ (396,425) $ (166,949) ____________________________ (1) The deferred tax assets from net operating loss carryovers (“NOL”) are as follows: March 31, December 31, Type of NOL 2017 2016 Expiration State only (A) $ 698,350 $ 655,719 December 31, 2037 Valuation allowance (592,390) (534,293) State only, net of valuation allowance 105,960 121,426 Amount subject to Annual Limitation, federal only (B) 6,800 10,200 December 31, 2019 Total deferred tax asset from net operating loss carryovers $ 112,760 $ 131,626 (A) Kingstone generates operating losses for state purposes and has prior year NOLs available. The state NOL as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was approximately $10,744,000 and $10,088,000, respectively. KICO, the Company’s insurance underwriting subsidiary, is not subject to state income taxes. KICO’s state tax obligations are paid through a gross premiums tax, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income within other underwriting expenses. A valuation allowance has been recorded due to the uncertainty of generating enough state taxable income to utilize 100% of the available state NOLs over their remaining lives, which expire between 2027 and 2037. (B) The Company has an NOL of $20,000 that is subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which places a limitation on the utilization of the federal NOL loss to approximately $10,000 per year (“Annual Limitation”) as a result of a greater than 50% ownership change of the Company in 1999. The losses subject to the Annual Limitation will be available for future years, expiring through December 31, 2019. (1) Deferred tax liability – Investment in KICO In assessing the valuation of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. No valuation allowance against deferred tax assets has been established, except for NOL limitations, as the Company believes it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized based on the historical taxable income of KICO, or by offset to deferred tax liabilities. The Company had no material unrecognized tax benefit and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. There were no interest or penalties related to income taxes that have been accrued or recognized as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. If any had been recognized these would have been reported in income tax expense. Generally, taxing authorities may examine the Company’s tax returns for the three years from the date of filing. The Company’s tax returns for the years ended December 31 2013 through December 31, 2016 remain subject to examination. |

9. Earnings Per Common Share | Basic net earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. The computation of diluted earnings per common share excludes those options with an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the periods presented. The computation of diluted earnings per common share excludes outstanding options in periods where the exercise of such options would be anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the inclusion of -0- and 54,327 options, respectively, in the computation of diluted earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive for the periods and, as a result, the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share has not been adjusted for the effect 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 follows: Three months ended March 31, 2017 2016 Weighted average number of shares outstanding 9,663,751 7,322,385 Effect of dilutive securities, common share equivalents 184,743 38,179 Weighted average number of shares outstanding, used for computing diluted earnings per share 9,848,494 7,360,564 |

10. Commitments and Contingencies | Litigation 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 lawsuit 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Office Lease In addition to the base rental costs, occupancy lease agreements generally provide for rent escalations resulting from increased assessments from real estate taxes and other charges. Rent expense under the lease will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At March 31, 2017, cumulative rent expense exceeded cumulative rent payments by $86,494. This difference is recorded as deferred rent and is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2017, aggregate future minimum rental commitments under the Company’s modified lease agreement are as follows: For the Year Ending December 31, Total 2017 (nine months) $ 119,939 2018 164,117 2019 169,861 2020 175,806 2021 181,959 Thereafter 432,392 Total $ 1,244,074 Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $41,342 and $26,126, respectively, and is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income within other underwriting expenses. |

11. Subsequent Events | The Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2017 through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued for matters that required disclosure or adjustment in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Dividends Declared and Paid On May 10, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $.08 per share payable in cash on June 15, 2017 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 31, 2017. Reinsurance In March 2017, the Company bound a new personal lines quota share reinsurance treaty with different terms effective July 1, 2017. See Note 6, Property and Casualty Insurance Activity – Reinsurance. |

Notes to Financial Statements | |
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. Such estimates and assumptions, which include the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses, are subject to considerable estimation error due to the inherent uncertainty in projecting ultimate claim amounts that will be reported and settled over a period of several years. In addition, estimates and assumptions associated with receivables under reinsurance contracts related to contingent ceding commission revenue require considerable judgment by management. On an on-going basis, management reevaluates its assumptions and the methods of calculating its estimates. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the consolidated financial statements. |
Principles of Consolidation | The consolidated financial statements consist of Kingstone and its wholly owned subsidiaries; KICO and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CMIC Properties, Inc. (“Properties”) and 15 Joys Lane, LLC (“15 Joys Lane”), which together own the land and building from which KICO operates. All significant inter-company account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Accounting Changes | In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-09, Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944): Disclosures About Short-Duration Contracts. The updated accounting guidance requires expanded disclosures for insurance entities that issue short-duration contracts. The expanded disclosures are designed to provide additional insight into an insurance entity’s ability to underwrite and anticipate costs associated with insurance claims. The disclosures include information about incurred and paid claims development by accident year, on a net basis after reinsurance, for the number of years claims incurred that typically remain outstanding, not to exceed ten years. Each period presented in the disclosure about claims development that precedes the current reporting period is considered required supplementary information. The expanded disclosures also include information about significant changes in methodologies and assumptions, a reconciliation of incurred and paid claims development to the carrying amount of the liability for unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses, the total amount of incurred but not reported liabilities plus expected development, claims frequency information including the methodology used to determine claim frequency and any changes to that methodology, and claim duration. The guidance became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and has been applied retrospectively. The new guidance affected disclosures only and had no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 – Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires recognition of all income tax effects from share-based payments arising on or after January 1, 2017 (the Company’s adoption date) in income tax expense. As a result, the Company realized windfall tax benefits in the interim period of adoption of approximately $5,000, which was recognized as a discrete period income tax benefit as required by this ASU. This benefit resulted in lowering the Company’s effective tax rate for the interim period by 0.1%. |
Accounting Pronouncements | In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. ASU 2014-09, as amended by ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-20, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company will apply the guidance using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01 – Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updated accounting guidance requires changes to the reporting model for financial instruments. The primary change for the Company is expected to be the requirement for equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842). Under this ASU, lessees will recognize a right-of-use-asset and corresponding liability on the balance sheet for all leases, except for leases covering a period of fewer than 12 months. The liability is to be measured as the present value of the future minimum lease payments taking into account renewal options if applicable plus initial incremental direct costs such as commissions. The minimum payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease or, if not known, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. The lessee’s income statement treatment for leases will vary depending on the nature of what is being leased. A financing type lease is present when, among other matters, the asset is being leased for a substantial portion of its economic life or has an end-of-term title transfer or a bargain purchase option as in today’s practice. The payment of the liability set up for such leases will be apportioned between interest and principal; the right-of use asset will be generally amortized on a straight-line basis. If the lease does not qualify as a financing type lease, it will be accounted for on the income statement as rent on a straight-line basis. The guidance will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will apply the guidance using a modified retrospective approach. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating whether the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a significant impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The revised accounting guidance requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses of available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 will be effective on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15 - Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The revised ASU provides accounting guidance for eight specific cash flow issues. FASB issued the standard to clarify areas where GAAP has been either unclear or lacking in specific guidance. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the updated guidance will have on its consolidated statement of cash flows. 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. |
