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, 2008 under “Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition” (to the extent that such factors relate to our current business through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Kingstone Insurance Company, formerly known as Commercial Mutual Insurance Company).

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.

KINGSTONE COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER, 2009 AND 2008

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business

On July 1, 2009, Kingstone Companies, Inc. (formerly known as DCAP Group, Inc.) (referred to herein as "Kingstone" or the “Company”) completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company (“CMIC”) (renamed Kingstone Insurance Company or “KICO”) and its subsidiaries, pursuant to the conversion of CMIC from an advance premium cooperative to a stock property and casualty insurance company (See Note 3). Pursuant to the plan of conversion, Kingstone acquired a 100% equity interest in KICO, in consideration for the exchange of the $3,750,000 principal amount of surplus notes of CMIC. In addition, Kingstone forgave all accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $2,246,000 on the surplus notes as of the date of conversion.

Effective July 1, 2009, Kingstone through its subsidiary KICO, offers property and casualty insurance products to small businesses and individuals in New York State. The effect of the KICO acquisition is only included in the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the period beginning July 1, 2009 (“KICO Acquistion Date”) through September 30, 2009. Accordingly, disclosures pertaining to KICO will only include the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Effective as of July 1, 2009, we changed the name of our company from DCAP Group, Inc. to Kingstone Companies, Inc.

Until December 2008, continuing operations primarily consisted of the ownership and operation of a network of retail insurance brokerage and agency offices engaged in the sale of retail auto, motorcycle, boat, business, and homeowner's insurance.

In December 2008, due to declining revenues and profits, the Company made a decision to restructure its network of retail offices (the “Retail Business”). The plan of restructuring called for the closing of seven of the least profitable locations during the month of December 2008 and the entry into negotiations to sell the remaining 19 locations in the Retail Business. On April 17, 2009, the Company sold substantially all of the assets, including the book of business, of its 16 remaining Retail Business locations that we owned in New York State (the “New York Sale”) (see Note 21). Effective June 30, 2009, the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiary that operated its three remaining Retail Locations in Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Sale”) (see Note 21). As a result of the restructuring in December 2008, the New York Sale on April 17, 2009 and the Pennsylvania Sale effective June 30, 2009, the Retail Business has been presented as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated.

Until May 2009, the Company operated a DCAP franchise business. Effective May 1, 2009, the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiaries that operated such DCAP franchise business (see Note 21). As a result of the sale, the franchise business has been presented as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated.

Until February 2008, the Company provided premium financing of insurance policies for customers of its offices as well as customers of non-affiliated entities. On February 1, 2008, the Company sold its outstanding premium finance loan portfolio (see Note 21). As a result of the sale, the premium financing operations have been classified as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated. The purchaser of the premium finance portfolio has agreed that, during the five year period ending January 31, 2013 (subject to automatic renewal for successive two year terms under certain circumstances), it will purchase, assume and service premium finance contracts originated by the Company in the states of New York and Pennsylvania. In connection with such purchases, the Company will be entitled to receive a fee generally equal to a percentage of the amount financed. The Company’s continuing operations of the premium financing business will consist of the revenue earned from placement fees and any related expenses.

The Retail Business also provided automobile club services and certain of our former franchisees provided tax preparation services.

Note 2 – Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited 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, 2008 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 14, 2009. The accompanying 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 Company has reclassified certain amounts in its 2008 consolidated balance sheet and 2008 statements of operations to conform to the 2009 presentation. None of these reclassifications had an effect on the Company’s consolidated net earnings, total stockholders’ equity or cash flows.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Business segment results are presented net of all material inter-segment transactions.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements consist of Kingstone Companies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Subsidiaries acquired on July 1, 2009 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.

Revenue Recognition

Net Premiums Earned

Insurance policies issued by the Company are short-duration contracts. Accordingly, premium revenue, net of premiums ceded to reinsurers, is recognized as earned in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided, on a pro-rata basis over the terms of the underlying policies. Unearned premiums represent premium applicable to the unexpired portions of in-force insurance contracts at the end of each year.

Ceding Commission Revenue

Commissions on reinsurance premiums ceded are earned in a manner consistent with the recognition of the costs of the reinsurance, generally on a pro-rata basis over the terms of the policies reinsured. Unearned amounts are recorded as deferred ceding commission revenue. Certain reinsurance agreements contain provisions whereby the ceding commission rates vary based on the loss experience under the agreements. The Company records ceding commission revenue based on its current estimate of subject losses. The Company records adjustments to the ceding commission revenue in the period that changes in the estimated losses are determined.

Liability for Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses (“LAE”)

The liability for loss and LAE represents management’s best estimate of the ultimate cost of all reported and unreported losses that are unpaid as of the balance sheet date. The liability for loss and LAE is estimated on an undiscounted basis, using individual case-basis valuations, statistical analyses and various actuarial procedures. The projection of future claim payment and reporting is based on an analysis of the Company’s historical experience, supplemented by analyses of industry loss data. Management believes that the reserves for loss and LAE are adequate to cover the ultimate cost of losses and claims to date; however, because of the uncertainty from various sources, including changes in reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation, and economic conditions, actual loss experience may not conform to the assumptions used in determining the estimated amounts for such liability at the balance sheet date. As adjustments to these estimates become necessary, such adjustments are reflected in expense for the period in which the estimates are changed. Because of the nature of the business historically written, the Company’s management believes that the Company has limited exposure to environmental claim liabilities. The Company recognizes recoveries from salvage and subrogation when received.

Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the loss that may arise from catastrophes or other events that cause unfavorable underwriting results by reinsuring certain levels of risk in various areas of exposure with other insurance enterprises or reinsurers.

Reinsurance receivables represents management’s best estimate of paid and unpaid loss and LAE recoverable from reinsurers. Ceded losses receivable are estimated using techniques and assumptions consistent with those used in estimating the liability for loss and LAE. Management believes that reinsurance receivables as recorded represent its best estimate of such amounts; however, as changes in the estimated ultimate liability for loss and LAE are determined, the estimated ultimate amount receivable from the reinsurers will also change. Accordingly, the ultimate receivable could be significantly in excess of or less than the amount indicated in the consolidated financial statements. As adjustments to these estimates become necessary, such adjustments are reflected in current operations. Loss and LAE incurred as presented in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income are net of reinsurance recoveries.

The Company accounts for reinsurance in accordance with GAAP guidance for accounting and reporting for reinsurance of short-duration contracts. Management has evaluated its reinsurance arrangements and determined that significant insurance risk is transferred to the reinsurers. Reinsurance agreements have been determined to be short-duration prospective contracts and, accordingly, the costs of the reinsurance are recognized over the life of the contract in a manner consistent with the earning of premiums on the underlying policies subject to the reinsurance contract.

In preparing financial statements, management estimates uncollectible amounts receivable from reinsurers based on an assessment of factors including the creditworthiness of the reinsurers and the adequacy of collateral obtained, where applicable. The allowance for uncollectible reinsurance as of September 30, 2009 was approximately $46,000. The Company did not expense any uncollectible reinsurance for the nine months or three months ended September 30, 2009. Significant uncertainties are inherent in the assessment of the creditworthiness of reinsurers and estimates of any uncollectible amounts due from reinsurers. Any change in the ability of the Company’s reinsurers to meet their contractual obligations could have a detrimental impact on the consolidated financial statements and KICO’s ability to meet their regulatory capital and surplus requirements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are presented at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains its cash balances at several financial institutions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) secures accounts up to $250,000 at these institutions through December 31, 2013 at which time the insured limit is scheduled to revert back to $100,000. Management monitors balances in excess of insured limits and believes they do not represent a significant credit risk to the Company.

Investments

The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with GAAP guidance for investments in debt and equity securities, which requires that fixed-maturity and equity securities that have readily determined fair values be segregated into categories based upon the Company’s intention for those securities. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has classified its fixed-maturity and equity securities as available-for-sale. The Company may sell its available-for-sale securities in response to changes in interest rates, risk/reward characteristics, liquidity needs or other factors.

Fixed-maturity securities and equity securities are reported at their estimated fair values based on quoted market prices or a recognized pricing service, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax effects, reported as a separate component of comprehensive income in policyholder’s surplus. Realized gains and losses are determined on the specific identification method.

Investment income is accrued to the date of the financial statements and includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on fixed maturities. Interest is recognized when earned, while dividends are recognized when declared.

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 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, management considers, among other criteria the following: the current fair value compared to amortized cost or cost, as appropriate; the length of time the security’s fair value has been below amortized cost or cost; management’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value to cost or amortized cost; specific credit issues related to the issuer; and current economic conditions. Other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses result in a permanent reduction of the cost basis of the underlying investment. For the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not record impairment write-downs, after determining that none of its investments were OTTI.

Fair Value

The fair value hierarchy in GAAP prioritizes fair value measurements into three levels based on the nature of the inputs. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities have the highest priority (“Level 1”), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices, including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities (“Level 2”) and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use, having the lowest priority (“Level 3”).

For investments in active markets, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value. In circumstances where quoted market prices are unavailable, the Company utilizes fair value estimates based upon other observable inputs including matrix pricing, benchmark interest rates, market comparables and other relevant inputs.

Premiums Receivable

Premiums receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $63,000 as of September 30, 2009. The allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on an analysis of amounts receivable giving consideration to historical loss experience and current economic conditions and reflects an amount that, in management’s judgment, is adequate. Uncollectible premiums receivable balances of approximately $6,000 were written off for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs represent the costs of writing business that vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of insurance business (principally commissions, premium taxes and certain underwriting salaries). Policy acquisition costs are deferred and recognized as expense as related premiums are earned.

Intangible Assets

The Company has recorded acquired identifiable intangible assets. In accounting for such assets, the Company follows GAAP guidance for intangible assets. The cost of a group of assets acquired in a transaction is allocated to the individual assets including identifiable intangible assets based on their relative fair values. Identifiable intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized over the period that the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company. Intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized and are subject to annual impairment testing. All identifiable intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a carrying amount may not be recoverable. No impairment losses from continuing operations were recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Property and Equipment

Building and building improvements, furniture, leasehold improvements, computer equipment, and software are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company estimates the useful life for computer equipment, computer software, furniture and other equipment is three years, and building and building improvements is 39 years.

The fair value of the Company’s real estate assets was based on an appraisal dated August 31, 2009. The fair value of the real estate assets is estimated to be in excess of the carrying value.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company will file a consolidated tax return with KICO for periods after June 30, 2009.

Assessments

Insurance related assessments are accrued in the period in which they have been incurred. A typical obligating event would be the issuance of an insurance policy or the occurrence of a claim. The Company is subject to a variety of assessments.

Concentration and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. Investments are diversified through many industries and geographic regions through the investment committee which employs different investment strategies. The Company limits the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution and believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to cash and investments. At September 30, 2009, the outstanding premiums receivable balance is generally diversified due to the number of entities composing the Company’s customer base, which is largely concentrated in the New York City area. To reduce credit risk, the Company obtains customer credit reports before it underwrites a policy. The Company also has receivables from its reinsurers. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company periodically evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. Management’s policy is to review all outstanding receivables at period end as well as the bad debt write-offs experienced in the past and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts, if deemed necessary.

Gross premiums earned from lines of business that subject the Company to concentration risk from July 1, 2009 (KICO Acquisition Date) through September 30, 2009 are as follows:

Personal Lines	66.4	%
Commercial Automobile	24.5	%
Total premiums earned subject to concentration	90.9	%
Premiums earned not subject to concentration	9.1	%
Total premiums earned	100.0	%

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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.

Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting guidance adopted in 2009

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on business combinations, where an acquiring entity is required to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value, with very few exceptions. In addition, transaction costs are no longer included in the measurement of the business acquired, but are expensed as incurred. The new guidance applies to all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company prospectively adopted the guidance on January 1, 2009.

In February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date of the guidance regarding fair value measurements for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities and associated required disclosures. On January 1, 2009 the guidance became effective and the Company applied the guidance to the nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities with no material effect.

In April 2008, the FASB issued new guidance in determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The purpose of this guidance is to improve consistency between the useful life of an intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset for purposes of determining possible impairments. This guidance requires an entity to disclose information related to the extent the expected future cash flows associated with the asset are affected by the entity’s intent and/or ability to renew or extend the arrangement. This guidance is required to be applied prospectively to all new intangible assets acquired after January 1, 2009. The Company prospectively adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2009, with no material effect on the financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued new guidance related to earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations and the participating securities in the basic earnings per share calculation under the two-class method. This new guidance requires that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period EPS data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform to the guidance. Early adoption was not permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2009, which did not have a material effect on the Company’s earnings per share.

In April, 2009, the FASB issued new guidance to help an entity in determining whether a market for an asset is not active and when a price for a transaction is not distressed. The model includes the following two steps:

•		Determine whether there are factors present that indicate that the market for the asset is not active at the measurement date; and
•		Evaluate the quoted price (i.e., a recent transaction or broker price quotation) to determine whether the quoted price is not associated with a distressed transaction.

This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted the new provisions on January 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance for other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) for fixed-maturity securities. Subsequent to this guidance, companies are required to separate OTTI into (a) the amount representing the credit loss, which continues to be recorded in earnings, and (b) the amount related to all other factors, which is now recorded in other comprehensive net income/loss. The new guidance required a cumulative-effect adjustment for those securities that were other-than-temporarily-impaired at the effective date. This cumulative-effect adjustment reclassifies the noncredit portion of previously other-than-temporarily-impaired instrument held at the effective date to accumulated other comprehensive net income/loss from retained earnings. Early adoption was permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2009. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In April, 2009, the FASB issued new guidance regarding requirements for disclosures relating to fair value of financial instruments. This guidance specifies that for reporting periods ended after June 15, 2009, all interim, as well as annual, financial statements must contain the additional disclosures regarding fair value of financial instruments. Early adoption was permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2009, with no material effect on the financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance requiring entities to disclose the date through which they have evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the release of their financial statements. The Company implemented this guidance as of April 1, 2009 with no material effect on Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance establishing a new hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles called “FASB Accounting Standards Codification”. The new hierarchy is the new single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The codification reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections. Effective for interim and annual periods that end after September 15, 2009, the Company implemented this guidance as of July 1, 2009 and has removed all references to prior authoritative literature.

Accounting guidance not yet effective

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. This guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. The new guidance enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and an entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently analyzing the effect this guidance will have on its financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance which concerns the consolidation of variable interest entities and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly affect the other entity’s economic performance. The new guidance will require a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently analyzing the effect this guidance will have on its financial statements.

In August 2009, the FASB issued new guidance concerning the fair value measurement of liabilities. This new guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, fair value can be measured using a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset (Level 1) or similar liability when traded as an asset (Level 2) or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value. Under this guidance, a company is not required to make an adjustment to reflect the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after August 2009. The Company is currently analyzing the effect this guidance will have on its financial statements.

Note 3 - Acquisition of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company

On July 1, 2009, Kingstone completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company and its subsidiaries (“CMIC”) (renamed Kingstone Insurance Company or “KICO”), pursuant to the conversion of CMIC from an advance premium cooperative to a stock property and casualty insurance company. The total purchase price was $5,996,461.

As of June 30, 2009, Kingstone held two surplus notes issued by CMIC in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000. Previously accrued and unpaid interest on the notes as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $2,246,000. Pursuant to the plan of conversion, effective July 1, 2009, Kingstone acquired a 100% equity interest in KICO in consideration of the exchange of the principal amount of surplus notes of CMIC. In addition, Kingstone forgave all accrued and unpaid interest on the surplus notes as of the date of conversion. The transaction was considered a bargain purchase, resulting in a gain on acquisition. The fair value of the CMIC acquisition is presented as follows:

Exchange of principal amount of surplus notes of CMIC	$	3,750,000
Accrued interest forgiven		2,246,461
Total purchase consideration		5,996,461
Gain on acquisition (bargain purchase)		5,401,860
Fair value of CMIC at acquisition, net of deferred taxes	$	11,398,321

KICO offers property and casualty insurance products to small businesses and individuals in New York State. KICO’s subsidiaries include CMIC Properties, Inc. (“CMIC Properties”) and 15 Joys Lane, LLC (“15 Joys Lane”), which owns the land and building from which KICO operates.

The Company began consolidating KICO’s financial statements as of the closing date in accordance with GAAP. The purchase consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including separately identified intangible assets, based on their fair values as of the close of the acquisition.

The following unaudited condensed balance sheet presents assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the acquisition of KICO, based on their fair values and the fair value hierarchy level under GAAP as of July 1, 2009:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

The fair values of separately identifiable intangibles and fixed assets were based on independent appraisals. The values of certain assets and liabilities may be subject to change as additional information is obtained. The valuations will be finalized within the measurement period, generally defined as 12 months from the close of the acquisition. When the valuations are finalized, any changes to the preliminary valuation of assets acquired or liabilities assumed may result in adjustments to the bargain purchase price. The aggregate purchase price of $5,996,461 was less than the $11,398,321 fair value of KICO’s net assets acquired, resulting in a bargain purchase of $5,401,860. The purchase price was determined in CMIC’s plan of conversion, which was equal to the current value of the surplus notes and accrued interest on the effective date of conversion. Transaction costs related to acquisition were expensed as incurred. Transaction costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $163,673 and $21,235, respectively. Transaction costs for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $71,153 and $3,470, respectively.

(a)The purchase price is allocated to balance sheet assets acquired (including identifiable intangible assets arising from the acquisition) and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.

The Company included total revenues and net income for KICO from the acquisition date of July 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009 in its consolidated statement of operations as follows:

Total revenue		$	4,002,204
Net income			414,006

Intangibles

The fair value of intangible assets represent customer and producer relationships, assembled workforce and insurance license. The fair value of customer and producer relationships was estimated based upon using a discounted cash flow approach methodology. The fair value of the assembled workforce was valued using cost of workforce replacement and the cost of loss of efficiency methodology. The fair value of the insurance license was valued using a market approach methodology. Critical inputs into the valuation model for customer relationships included estimations of expected premium and attrition rates, expected operating margins and capital requirements (See note 7).

Real Estate

The fair value of the land and building included in property and equipment, which is used in the Company’s operations is greater than the carrying value. The fair value was based on an appraisal dated August 31, 2009.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves Acquired

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves Acquired were valued at fair value which approximated carrying value.

Non-financial Assets and Liabilities

Receivables, other assets and liabilities were valued at fair value which approximated carrying value.

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 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 statement of 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. The Company determined there was no OTTI for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2009. 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 September 30, 2009 as follows:

Note 5 - Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted 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 as follows:

Note 6 - 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 4 - Investments.”

Cash and short-term investments: The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these investments.

Premiums receivable, reinsurance receivables: The carrying values reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

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. For “Notes receivable – Commercial Mutual Insurance Company” (now known as Kingstone Insurance Company or “KICO”), we acquired a 100% equity interest in KICO on July 1, 2009 in exchange for our relinquishing our rights to any unpaid principal and interest under the notes receivable. The fair value of KICO is based on an appraisal completed in November 2009 which was used to determine the fair value of KICO in connection with the acquisition on July 1, 2009.

Real Estate Assets: The fair value of the land and building included in property and equipment, which is used in the Company’s operations is approximates the carrying value. The fair value was based on an appraisal dated August 31, 2009.

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

Long-term debt and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock: For fair value of long-term debt and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock for which there are no quoted market prices, we estimate that the carrying amount of notes payable and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock approximates fair value because of the recently negotiated interest rates based on term of the loan, risk and guaranty.

The estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows:

	September 30, 2009				December 31, 2008
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(unaudited)
Cash and short-term investments	$	2,756,449	$	2,756,449	$	142,949	$	142,949

Note 7 - Intangibles

Intangible assets consist of finite and indefinite life assets. Finite life intangible assets include customer and producer relationships and assembled workforce. Insurance company license is considered indefinite life intangible assets subject to annual impairment testing. The weighted average amortization period of identified intangible assets of finite useful life is 9.1 years as of September 30, 2009.

With the acquisition of KICO on July 1, 2009, the Company recognized $4,850,000 of identifiable intangible assets including KICO’s customer and producer relationships of $3,400,000, assembled workforce of $950,000 and insurance company license of $500,000. The customer and producer relationships and assembled workforce acquired are finite lived assets that will be amortized over ten and seven years, respectively, and are subject to annual impairment testing. The insurance company license is included as indefinite lived intangibles subject to annual impairment testing.

The components of intangible assets are summarized as follows:

			September 30, 2009						September 30, 2008
	Useful		Gross				Net		Gross				Net
	Life		Carrying		Accumulated		Carrying		Carrying		Accumulated		Carrying

During the period from July 1, 2009 (Date of KICO Acquisition) through September 30, 2009, the Company recorded amortization expense, related to intangibles, of $118,900. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for the remainder of the current year and each of the next five years is:

2009 (3 months)	$	158,571
2010		475,714
2011		475,714
2012		475,714
2013		475,714
2014		475,714

Note 8 - Reinsurance

Personal Lines business is reinsured under a 75% quota share treaty which provides coverage up to $700,000 per occurrence. For treaty year ended June 30, 2010, an excess of loss contract provides $1,200,000 in coverage excess of the $700,000 for a total coverage of $1,900,000 per occurrence. The Company’s retention is 25% of the quota share amount of $700,000 or $175,000. The quota share provides $21,750,000 in catastrophe protection. The Company purchased an additional $7,250,000 of property catastrophe reinsurance bringing the total catastrophe protection to $29,000,000. The Company retains the first $500,000 of any catastrophic loss.

Commercial Auto quota share treaty, expiring December 31, 2009, provides for coverage of 50% of the first $300,000 per occurrence. An excess of loss contract provides coverage of $1.7 million in excess of the $300,000 quota share coverage for a total coverage of $2 million per occurrence. The maximum Company retention is 50% of the quota share amount of $300,000 or $150,000 per occurrence.

Commercial Lines business other than auto written by the Company is reinsured under an 85% quota share treaty, expiring December 31, 2009. Personal Umbrella business written is reinsured under a 90% quota share limiting the Company to a maximum of $100,000 per risk.

Through quota share, excess of loss and catastrophe reinsurance agreements, the Company limits its exposure to a maximum loss on any one risk as follows:

	Maximum
	Loss
Line of business	Exposure
Casualty and property (personal lines)
July 1, 2006 - June 30, 2010	$	175,000
July 1, 2005 - June 30, 2006	$	140,000
July 1, 2003 - June 30, 2005	$	75,000
July 1, 2002 - June 30, 2003	$	100,000
January 1, 2002 - June 30, 2002	$	100,000

Basic auto physical damage
January 1, 2006 - December 31, 2007	100% of covered loss
October 1, 2003 - December 31, 2005	40% of covered loss

Private passenger auto
July 1, 2007 - December 31, 2008	25% of covered loss

Casualty and property (commercial lines)
October 1, 2002 - December 31, 2003	$	100,000
July 1, 1999 - October 1, 2002	$	25,000

Commercial auto liability
January 1, 2007 - December 31, 2008	$	150,000
January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2006	$	150,000
January 1, 2004 - December 31, 2004	$	120,000
January 1, 2002 - December 31, 2003	$	100,000

Commercial auto physical damage
January 1, 2007 - December 31, 2007	50% of covered loss
January 1, 2004 - December 31, 2006	40% of covered loss
January 1, 2002 - December 31, 2003	100% of covered loss

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.

Approximate reinsurance recoverables by reinsurer as of September 30, 2009 are as follows:

	Unpaid		Paid
($ in thousands)	Losses		Losses		Total
Motors Insurance Corporation	$	5,717	$	458	$	6,175
SCOR Reinsurance Company		1,760		80		1,840
Allied World Assurance Company		934		119		1,053
Folksamerica Reinsurance Company		989		33		1,022
Arch Reinsurance Company		506		100		606
Others		1,040		221		1,261
Total	$	10,946	$	1,011	$	11,957

To reduce the Company’s credit exposure to reinsurance, the net ceded recoverable balances due from SCOR Reinsurance Company and Motors Insurance Corporation (related to all quota share and excess of loss reinsurance agreements effective January 1, 2006 and subsequent) were secured pursuant to collateralized trust agreements. Assets held in these two trusts are not included in the Company’s invested assets and investment income earned on these assets is credited to the two reinsurers respectively. Net reinsurance recoverables from SCOR Re and Motors in total that were secured by these agreements were $14,125,000 at September 30, 2009. These trust agreements do not cover any recoverables from reinsurance agreements effective prior to January 1, 2006.

Reinsurance recoverable from Allied World Assurance Company are guaranteed by an irrevocable bank letter of credit.

Ceding Commissions

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 increase when the estimated ultimate loss ratio decreases and, conversely, the commission rate and ceding commissions earned decrease when the estimated ultimate loss ratio increases.

As of September 30, 2009 the Company’s estimated ultimate loss ratios attributable to these contracts are lower than the contractual ultimate loss ratios at which the minimum amount of ceding commissions can be earned. Accordingly, the Company has recorded ceding commissions earned that are greater than the minimum commissions.

Ceding commissions for period from July 1, 2009 (Date of KICO Acquisition) through September 30, 2009 consist of the following:

Ceded commission on reinsurance treaties	$	1,508,441
Contingent commission ceded		(25,192	)
	$	1,483,249

Note 9 - Notes Receivable-Commercial Mutual Insurance Company

Purchase of Notes Receivable

On January 31, 2006, the Company purchased from Eagle Insurance Company (“Eagle”) two surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual Insurance Company (“CMIC”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000 (the “Surplus Notes”), plus accrued interest of $1,794,688. The aggregate purchase price for the Surplus Notes was $3,075,141, of which $1,303,434 was paid to Eagle by delivery of a six month promissory note which provided for interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum. The promissory note was paid in full on July 28, 2006. CMIC was a New York property and casualty insurer. As of June 30, 2009, the Surplus Notes acquired were past due and provided for interest at the prime rate or 8.5% per annum, whichever is less. Payments of principal and interest on the Surplus Notes could only be made out of the surplus of CMIC and required the approval of the New York State Department of Insurance. The Company did not receive any interest payments during 2009 and 2008. The discount on the Surplus Notes and the accrued interest at the time of acquisition were accreted over a 30 month period through July 31, 2008, the estimated period to collect such amounts. Through June 30, 2009 and for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2008, such accretion amount, together with interest on the Surplus Notes are included in the consolidated statement of operations as “Interest income-notes receivable.”

Exchange of Notes Receivable

Incurred losses and LAE are net of reinsurance recoveries under reinsurance contracts of $1,977,441 for the period from July 1, 2009 (Date of KICO Acquisition) through September 30, 2009.

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.

Table below shows the method used by product line and accident year to select the estimated year-ending loss reserves:

	Accident Year
Product Line	Most Recent	1st Prior	All Other

Fire	Loss Ratio	Loss Development	Loss Development
Homeowners	Loss Ratio	Loss Development	Loss Development
Multi-Family	Loss Ratio	Loss Development	Loss Development
Commercial multiple-peril property	Loss Ratio	Loss Development	Loss Development
Commercial multiple-peril liability	Loss Ratio	Loss Development	Loss Development
Other Liability	Loss Ratio	Loss Development	Loss Development
Commercial Auto Liability	Loss Ratio	Loss Development	Loss Development
Auto Physical Damage	Loss Ratio	Loss Development	Loss Development
Personal Auto Liability	Loss Ratio	Loss Development	Loss Development

Two key assumptions that materially impact the estimate of loss reserves are the loss ratio estimate for the current accident year and the loss development factor selections for all accident years. The loss ratio estimate for the current accident year is 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, subject to certain limitations, must be commenced within three years from the date of the accident or are otherwise barred. Accordingly, the Company’s exposure to IBNR for accident years 2005 and prior is limited although there remains the possibility of adverse development on reported claims. This is reflected by the loss development as of September 30, 2009 showing developed redundancies since 2005. However, there are no assurances that future loss development and trends will be consistent with its past loss development history, and so adverse loss reserves development remains a risk factor to the Company’s business.

The Company was previously a one-third participant in a pool arrangement. Effective November 1, 1997, the Company withdrew its participation in the pool arrangement. Accordingly, the Company will only be participating in losses and allocated loss adjustment expenses that occurred prior to that date. A reserve was established due to the potential that the pool will be unable to collect reinsurance on certain lead paint cases. The balance of the reserve was $46,000 as of September 30, 2009.

Note Payable, Accurate Acquisition

On April 17, 2009, the Company paid the balance of the note payable incurred in connection with the Accurate acquisition.

Notes Payable

As of December 31, 2008, the outstanding principal balance of Notes Payable was $1,500,000. On May 12, 2009, three of the holders of the notes exchanged an aggregate of $519,231 of note principal for Series E Preferred Stock having an aggregate redemption amount equal to such aggregate principal amount of notes (see Note 15). Concurrently, the Company paid $49,543 to the three holders, which amount represents all accrued and unpaid interest and incentive payments through the date of exchange. As part of the transaction, a retirement trust established for the benefit of Jack Seibald, one of the Company’s directors and principal stockholders, exchanged its note in the approximate principal amount of $288,000 for shares of Series E Preferred Stock. In addition, a limited liability company of which Barry Goldstein, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, a director and a principal stockholder, is a minority member exchanged its note in the approximate principal amount of $115,000 for shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

On May 12, 2009, the Company prepaid $686,539 in principal of the Notes Payable to the remaining five note holders, together with $81,200, which amount represents accrued and unpaid interest and incentive payments on such prepayment.

On June 29, 2009, the Company prepaid the remaining $294,230 in principal of the Notes Payable to such remaining note holders, together with $19,400, which amount represents accrued and unpaid interest and incentive payments on such prepayment.

In June 2009 and September 2009, the Company borrowed $500,000 and $250,000, respectively, 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 and are payable on July 10, 2011. The 2009 Notes are prepayable without premium or penalty; provided, however, that, under any circumstances, the holders of the 2009 Notes are entitled to receive an aggregate of six months interest from the issue date of the 2009 Notes with respect to the amount prepaid.

Included in the 2009 Notes issued above were $370,000 issued to related parties as follows:

A limited liability company owned by Mr. Goldstein, along with Sam Yedid and Steven Shapiro (who are both directors of KICO), purchased a 2009 Note in the principal amount of $120,000. Jay Haft, a director of the Company, purchased a 2009 Note in the principal amount of $50,000. A member of the family of Michael Feinsod, a director of the Company, purchased a 2009 Note in the principal amount of $100,000. Sam Yedid and members of his family purchased 2009 Notes in the aggregate principal amounts of $100,000.

Note 15 - Exchange and Issuance of Preferred Stock

Effective April 16, 2008, AIA Acquisition Corp. (“AIA”), the holder of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock exchanged such shares for an equal number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the terms of which were substantially identical to those of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, except that the outside date for mandatory redemption was April 30, 2009 and the Series C Preferred Stock provided for dividends at the rate of 10% per annum.

Effective August 23, 2008, AIA exchanged the Series C Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock, the terms of which were substantially identical to those of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, except that the outside date for mandatory redemption was July 31, 2009.

Effective May 12, 2009, AIA exchanged the Series D Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock. The terms of the Series E Preferred Stock vary from those of the Series D Preferred Stock as follows: (i) the Series E Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable on July 31, 2011 (as compared to July 31, 2009 for the Series D Preferred Stock), (ii) the Series E Preferred Stock provides for dividends at the rate of 11.5% per annum (as compared to 10% per annum for the Series D Preferred Stock), (iii) the Series E Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at a price of $2.00 per share (as compared to $2.50 per share for the Series D Preferred Stock), (iv) the Company’s obligation to redeem the Series E Preferred Stock is not accelerated based upon a sale of substantially all of its assets or certain of its subsidiaries (as compared to the Series D Preferred Stock which provided for such acceleration) and (v) the Company’s obligation to redeem the Series E Preferred Stock is not secured by the pledge of the outstanding stock of its subsidiary, AIA-DCAP Corp. (as compared to the Series D Preferred Stock which provided for such pledge). The current aggregate redemption amount for the Series E Preferred Stock held by AIA is $780,000, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. Members of Mr. Goldstein’s family, Sam Yedid and Steven Shapiro are the stockholders of AIA.

On May 12, 2009, three holders of the Company’s Notes Payable exchanged $519,231 of the principal balance of such notes for shares of Series E Preferred Stock having an aggregate redemption amount of $519,231 (see Note 14).

As of September 30, 2009, there were 1,299 shares outstanding of Series E Preferred Stock, convertible into 649,615 shares of Common Stock.

In accordance with GAAP guidance for accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, the various series of Preferred Stock have been reported as a liability, and the preferred dividends have been classified as interest expense.

Note 16 - Risk Based Capital

State insurance departments impose risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements on insurance enterprises. The RBC Model serves as a benchmark for the regulation of insurance companies by state insurance regulators. RBC provides for targeted surplus levels based on formulas, which specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk, and are set forth in the RBC requirements. Such formulas focus on four general types of risk: (a) the risk with respect to the company’s assets (asset or default risk); (b) the risk of default on amounts due from reinsurers, policyholders, or other creditors (credit risk); (c) the risk of underestimating liabilities from business already written or inadequately pricing business to be written in the coming year (underwriting risk); and, (d) the risk associated with items such as excessive premium growth, contingent liabilities, and other items not reflected on the balance sheet (off-balance sheet risk). The amount determined under such formulas is called the authorized control level RBC (“ACLC”).

The RBC guidelines define specific capital levels based on a company’s ACLC that are determined by the ratio of the company’s total adjusted capital (“TAC”) to its ACLC. TAC is equal to statutory capital, plus or minus certain other specified adjustments. The Company is in compliance with RBC requirements as of September 30, 2009.

Note 17 – Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated U.S. Federal Income Tax return that includes all wholly-owned subsidiaries. KICO and its subsidiaries are consolidated as of July 1, 2009. State tax returns are filed on a consolidated or separate basis depending on applicable laws.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes, which expire at various dates through 2019, of approximately $1,589,000. These net operating loss carryforwards are subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which places a limitation on the utilization of the federal net operating loss to approximately $10,000 per year (“Annual Limitation”), as a result of a greater than 50% ownership change of the Company in 1999. Our taxable loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $876,000. This loss will be available for future years, expiring through December 31, 2029.

For the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2009, the gain on acquisition of KICO was treated as a permanent difference for income tax purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the tax benefit resulting from the losses of discontinued operations was recorded in continuing operations.

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. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

	September 30,			December 31,
	2009			2008
	(unaudited)
Deferred tax asset:
Net operating loss carryovers subject to annual limitations	$	846,000		$	846,000
Other net operating loss carryovers		851,373			544,000
Claims reserve discount		133,204			-
Unearned premium		348,059			-
Loss and loss adjustment expenses		218,443			-
Deferred ceding commission revenue		966,859			-
Depreciation and amortization		-			21,000
Investment impairments		76,565			-
Stock compensation expense		-			67,000
Other		98,791			-
Total deferred tax assets		3,539,294			1,478,000

Deferred tax liability:

Deferred acquisition costs		952,151			-
Intangibles		1,608,540			-
Depreciation and amortization		267,360			-
Reinsurance recoverable		177,222			-
Net unrealized appreciation of securities		87,854			-
Other		67,288			41,000
Total deferred tax liabilities		4,329,415			1,185,000

Net deferred tax (liabilty)/asset before valuation allowance		(790,121	)		293,000
Less valuation allowance due to Annual Limitation of net operating loss carryover		(493,000	)		(493,000	)
Net deferred income tax liability	$	(1,283,121	)	$	(200,000	)

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.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted GAAP guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and had no material unrecognized tax benefit and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required.

Note 18 - 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 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.

Employment Agreements

Chief Executive Officer (Kingstone)

The Company’s President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Barry B. Goldstein, is employed pursuant to an employment agreement dated October 16, 2007 (the “Employment Agreement”) that expires on June 30, 2010. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Goldstein is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $350,000 (which base salary has been in effect since January 1, 2004) (“Base Salary”) and annual bonuses based on net income. On August 25, 2008, the Company and Mr. Goldstein entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement. The Amendment entitles Mr. Goldstein to devote certain time to KICO to fulfill his duties and responsibilities as its Chairman of the Board and Chief Investment Officer. Such permitted activity is subject to a reduction in Base Salary under the Employment Agreement on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent of the salary payable by KICO to Mr. Goldstein pursuant to his KICO employment contract, which, effective July 1, 2009, is $157,500 per year. Mr. Goldstein’s title as Chairman of the Board and Chief Investment Officer of KICO is subject to approval by KICO’s Board at its next annual meeting to be held in March 2010. KICO is a New York property and casualty insurer. On July 1, 2009, we acquired 100% of the stock of KICO.

Chief Executive Officer (KICO)

KICO’s President and Chief Executive Officer, John D. Reiersen, is employed pursuant to an employment agreement effective as of November 13, 2006 and amended as of January 25, 2008 (together, the “Reiersen Agreement”). The Reiersen Agreement, which expires on December 31, 2011, may be terminated by KICO at any time with or without cause upon written notice. In the event of termination by KICO, Mr. Reiersen will be entitled to receive six months severance and accrued vacation up to a maximum of 50 days. Pursuant to the Reiersen Agreement, Mr. Reiersen is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $256,500 (with increases of 5% on each of January 1, 2010 and 2011), plus additional customary benefits. Mr. Reiersen’s title as President and Chief Executive Officer of KICO is subject to approval by KICO’s Board at its next annual meeting to be held in March 2010. Mr. Reiersen also receives a $2,000 annual fee for his position as a director of KICO.

Approval Required for Transactions with Subsidiary

In connection with the plan of conversion of CMIC, the Company has agreed with the Insurance Department that for a period of two years following the effective date of conversion of July 1, 2009, no dividend may be paid by KICO without the approval of the Insurance Department. The Company has also agreed with the Insurance Department that any intercompany transaction between itself and KICO must be filed with the Insurance Department 30 days prior to implementation.

Note 19 - Employee Stock Compensation

In November 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”), which provided for the issuance of incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options. Under this plan, options to purchase not more than 400,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were permitted to be granted, at a price to be determined by our Board of Directors or the Stock Option Committee at the time of grant. During 2002, the Company increased the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the 1998 Plan to 750,000. Incentive stock options granted under the 1998 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 determined the expiration date with respect to non-statutory options granted under the 1998 Plan. The 1998 Plan terminated in November 2008.

In December 2005, the Company’s shareholders ratified the adoption of the 2005 Equity Participation Plan (the “2005 Plan” and together with the 1998 Plan, the “Plans”), 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 may be issued pursuant to options granted and restricted stock issued. 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 nine months and three months ended September 30, 2009 include share-based compensation expense related to stock options totaling approximately $35,000 and $21,000, respectively. Our results for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2008 include share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $64,000 and $16,000, respectively. Such amounts have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within general and administrative expenses.

Stock option compensation expense in 2009 and 2008 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1.98 per share. The fair value of options at the grant date was estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. No stock options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

A summary of option activity under the Plans as of September 30, 2009, and changes during the nine 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 December 31, 2008		177,400		$	2.40		-		-

Granted		70,000		$	2.35		-		-
Exercised		-		$	-		-		-
Forfeited		(22,400	)	$	3.82		-		-

Outstanding at September 30, 2009		225,000		$	2.24		3.43	$	12,150

Vested and Exercisable at September 30, 2009		126,354		$	2.24		2.84	$	8,859

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at September 30, 2009 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of our common shares for the shares that had exercise prices that were lower than the $2.15 closing price of our common shares on September 30, 2009. No options were exercised in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

As of September 30, 2009, the fair value of unamortized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards was approximately $101,000. Unamortized compensation cost as of September 30, 2009 is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.66 years.

Note 20 - Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic net earnings per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, warrants and conversion of mandatorily redeemable preferred shares. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes those options, warrants and mandatorily redeemable preferred shares with an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the periods presented.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 options and mandatorily redeemable preferred shares had an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period and as a result, the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is the same, and have not been adjusted for the effects of 874,615 potential common shares from unexercised stock options and the conversion of convertible preferred shares.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 there were 126,563 options with an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period and the inclusion of 98,438 options in the computation of diluted earnings per share would have been anti-dilutive, and as a result, the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share 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 three months ended September 30, 2009 follows:

Weighted average number of shares outstanding			2,977,501
Effect of dilutive securities, common share equivalents			649,615

Weighted average number of shares outstanding,
used for computing diluted earnings per share			3,627,116

Net income from continuing operations available to common shareholders for the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 is computed as follows:

Net income from continuing operations	$	5,642,148
Interest expense on dilutive convertible preferred stock		37,353

Net income from continuing operations available
to common shareholders for diluted earnings per share	$	5,679,501

Net income available to common shareholders for the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 is computed as follows:

Net income	$	5,585,598
Interest expense on dilutive convertible preferred stock		37,353

Net income available to common shareholders for
diluted earnings per share	$	5,622,951

For the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a loss available to common shareholders and, as a result, the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share is the same, and have not been adjusted for the effects of 498,300 potential common shares from unexercised stock options and warrants, and the conversion of convertible preferred shares, which were anti-dilutive for such period.

Note 21 - Discontinued Operations

Premium Financing

On February 1, 2008, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Payments Inc. (“Payments”), sold its outstanding premium finance loan portfolio to Premium Financing Specialists, Inc. (“PFS”). Under the terms of the sale, Payments was entitled to receive an amount based upon the net earnings generated by the acquired loan portfolio as it was collected. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, Payments received approximately $18,000 and $63,000 based on the net earnings generated from collections of the acquired loan portfolio.

Retail Business

In December 2008, due to declining revenues and profits the Company decided to restructure its network of retail offices (the “Retail Business”). The plan of restructuring called for the closing of seven of the least profitable locations during the month of December 2008 and the entry into negotiations to sell the remaining 19 locations in the Retail Business.

On April 17, 2009, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries that owned and operated its 16 remaining Retail Business locations in New York State sold substantially all of their assets, including the 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 approximate principal amount of $551,000 (the “New York Notes”) were also delivered at the closing. The New York Notes are payable in installments of approximately $275,500 on each of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 and provide for interest at the rate of 5.25% per annum. As additional consideration, the Company shall be 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.

Effective June 30, 2009, the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiary that operated its 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).

As a result of the restructuring in December 2008, the sale of the New York Assets on April 17, 2009 and the sale of the Pennsylvania Stock effective June 30, 2009, the operating results of the Retail Business operations for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been presented as discontinued operations. Net assets and liabilities to be disposed of or liquidated, at their book value, have been separately classified in the accompanying balance sheets at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Franchise Business

Effective May 1, 2009, the Company sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiaries that operated its 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”). The Franchise Note is payable in installments of $50,000 on May 15, 2009, $50,000 on May 1, 2010 and $100,000 on May 1, 2011 and provides for interest at the rate of 5.25% per annum. A principal of the buyer is the son-in-law of Morton L. Certilman, one of the Company’s principal shareholders.

As a result of the sale of the Franchise Stock, the operating results of the franchise business operations for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been presented as discontinued operations. Net assets and liabilities to be disposed of or liquidated, at their book value, have been separately classified in the accompanying balance sheets at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Discontinued Operations

Finance income, fees and receivables – In the discontinued premium finance operations, the interest method was used to recognize interest income over the life of each loan in accordance with GAAP guidance for accounting for nonrefundable fees and costs associated with originating or acquiring loans. Upon the establishment of a premium finance contract, the Company recorded the gross loan payments as a receivable with a corresponding reduction for deferred interest. The deferred interest was amortized to interest income using the interest method over the life of each loan. The weighted average interest rate charged with respect to financed insurance policies was approximately 26.1% per annum for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Upon completion of collection efforts, after cancellation of the underlying insurance policies, any uncollected earned interest or fees were charged off.

Commission and fee income – In discontinued operations, commission revenue was recognized in from insurance policies at the beginning of the contract period. Refunds of commissions on the cancellation of insurance policies were reflected at the time of cancellation. Fees for income tax preparation were recognized when the services are completed. Automobile club dues were recognized equally over the contract period.

Franchise fee revenue on initial franchisee fees was recognized when substantially all of the Company’s contractual requirements under the franchise agreement were completed. Franchisees also paid a monthly franchise fee plus an applicable percentage of advertising expense. The Company was obligated to provide marketing and training support to each franchisee.

Note 22 - Subsequent Events

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through December 2, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Overview

On July 1, 2009, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company (“CMIC”) (renamed Kingstone Insurance Company or “KICO”) and its subsidiaries, pursuant to the conversion of CMIC from an advance premium cooperative to a stock property and casualty insurance company (See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - “Acquisition of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company”). Pursuant to the plan of conversion, we acquired a 100% equity interest in KICO, in consideration for the exchange of the $3,750,000 principal amount of surplus notes of CMIC. In addition, we forgave all accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $2,246,000 on the surplus notes as of the date of conversion.

Effective July 1, 2009, we now offer property and casualty insurance products to small businesses and individuals in New York State through our subsidiary, KICO. The effect of the KICO acquisition is only included in our results of operations and cash flows for the period beginning July 1, 2009 (“KICO Acquisition Date”) through September 30, 2009. Accordingly, discussions pertaining to KICO will only include the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Until December 2008, our continuing operations primarily consisted of the ownership and operation of 19 insurance brokerage and agency storefronts, including 12 Barry Scott locations in New York State, three Atlantic Insurance locations in Pennsylvania, and four Accurate Agency locations in New York State. In December 2008, due to declining revenues and profits, we made a decision to restructure our network of retail offices (the “Retail Business”). The plan of restructuring called for the closing of seven of our least profitable locations during December 2008 and the sale of the remaining 19 Retail Business locations. On April 17, 2009, we sold substantially all of the assets, including the book of business, of the 16 remaining Retail Business locations that we owned in New York State (the “New York Sale”). Effective June 30, 2009, we sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiary that operated our three remaining Retail Business locations in Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Sale”). As a result of the restructuring in December 2008, the New York Sale on April 17, 2009 and the Pennsylvania Sale effective June 30, 2009, our Retail Business has been presented as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated.

Through April 30, 2009, we received fees from 33 franchised locations in connection with their use of the DCAP name. Effective May 1, 2009, we sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiaries that operated our DCAP franchise business. As a result of the sale, our franchise business has been presented as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated.

Payments Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, is an insurance premium finance agency that is licensed within the states of New York and Pennsylvania. Until February 1, 2008, Payments Inc. offered premium financing to clients of DCAP, Barry Scott, Atlantic Insurance and Accurate Agency offices, as well as non-affiliated insurance agencies. On February 1, 2008, Payments Inc. sold its outstanding premium finance loan portfolio. As a result of the sale, our business of internally financing insurance contracts has been presented as discontinued operations. Effective February 1, 2008, revenues from our premium financing business have consisted of placement fees based upon premium finance contracts purchased, assumed and serviced by the purchaser of the loan portfolio.

In our Retail Business discontinued operations, the insurance storefronts served as insurance agents or brokers and placed various types of insurance on behalf of customers. Our Retail Business focused on automobile, motorcycle and homeowner’s insurance and our customer base was primarily individuals rather than businesses.

The stores also offered automobile club services for roadside assistance and some of our franchise locations offered income tax preparation services.

The stores from our Retail Business discontinued operations received commissions from insurance companies for their services. Prior to July 1, 2009, neither we nor the stores served as an insurance company and therefore we did not assume underwriting risks; however, as discussed below, effective July 1, 2009, we acquired a 100% equity interest in Commercial Mutual Insurance Company (now renamed Kingstone Insurance Company or “KICO”). KICO is a property and casualty insurance company licensed to operate in New York State.

Consolidated Results of Operations

During the third quarter, we completed the acquisition of KICO on July 1, 2009. Accordingly, our consolidated revenues and expenses reflect significant changes as a result of this acquisition particularly through the addition of our insurance underwriting business that now includes all of the operations of KICO.

We have changed the presentation of our business results by reclassifying our previously reported continuing operations based on reporting standards for insurance underwriters. The prior period disclosures have been restated to conform to the current presentation. General corporate overhead not incurred by our underwriting business is allocated to other operating expenses.

Due to the acquisition of KICO and the commencement of our insurance underwriting business on July 1, 2009, and the discontinuance of all business operations previously in place before the acquisition date, the comparability of information between quarters and years is less meaningful.

In December 2008, due to declining revenues and profits, we made a decision to restructure our network of retail offices (the “Retail Business”). The plan of restructuring called for the closing of seven of our least profitable locations during December 2008 and the sale of the remaining 19 Retail Business locations. On April 17, 2009, we sold substantially all of the assets, including the book of business, of the 16 remaining Retail Business locations that we owned in New York State (the “New York Sale”). Effective June 30, 2009, we sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiary that operated our three remaining Retail Business locations in Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Sale”). As a result of the restructuring in December 2008, the New York Sale on April 17, 2009 and the Pennsylvania Sale effective June 30, 2009, our Retail Business has been presented as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated.

Effective May 1, 2009, we sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiaries that operated our DCAP franchise business. As a result of the sale, our franchise business has been presented as discontinued operations and prior periods have been restated.

On February 1, 2008, we sold our outstanding premium finance loan portfolio. As a result of the sale, our premium financing operations have been presented as discontinued operations.

Separate discussions follow for results of continuing operations and discontinued operations.

Consolidated Results of Operations for the Nine Months and Three Months September 30, 2009 and 2008

Continuing Operations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 (“2009”), revenues from continuing operations were $4,480,000, as compared to $333,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (“2008”). During the three months ended September 30, 2009 (“Q3 2009”), revenues from continuing operations were $4,115,000, as compared to $112,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 (“Q3 2008”). The increase in total revenues in both periods was due to the increases in all sources of revenue stemming from the acquisition of KICO that occurred in the third quarter of 2009 on July 1, 2009.

Net investment income of $116,000 and realized gains of $100,000 for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2009 were attributable to the acquisition of KICO on July 1, 2009. The positive cash flow from operations was the result of the aforementioned acquisition. The tax equivalent investment yield, excluding cash, was 4.91% at September 30, 2009. Realized capital gains from securities acquired in the KICO acquisition had a cost basis equal to their fair market value as of the acquisition date on July 1, 2009.

Total expenses in 2009 were $4,552,000, as compared to $1,151,000 in 2008. Total expenses in Q3 2009 were $3,691,000, as compared to $333,000 in Q3 2008. The increase in total expenses in both periods was due to the increases in all categories of expenses stemming from the acquisitions of KICO that occurred in the third quarter of 2009 on July 1, 2009.

Gain on acquisition of Kingstone Insurance Company of $5,402,000 in 2009 and Q3 2009 is attributable to the bargain purchase price which was a result of the excess of net assets acquired from KICO compared to the acquisition cost.

Interest income from CMIC notes receivable in 2009 was $60,000, as compared to $731,000 in 2008. The decrease in 2008 was due to: (i) the discount on surplus notes and the accrued interest at the time of acquisition being fully accreted in July 2008, (ii) a reduction in the variable interest rate in 2009 due to a decrease in the prime rate and (iii) the forgiveness of the note receivable in exchange for our 100% equity interest of KICO on July 1, 2009. Interest income from CMIC notes receivable in Q3 2009 was $-0-, as compared to $129,000 in Q3 2008. The decrease in Q3 2009 was due to the forgiveness of the note receivable in exchange for our 100% equity interest in KICO on July 1, 2009.

The benefit from income taxes (including state taxes) was $26,000 in 2009, as compared to a tax benefit of $288,000 in 2008. The tax benefit on income from continuing operations is attributable to the gain on acquisition of KICO being treated as a permanent difference for income tax purposes. In addition, the tax benefit resulting from the losses of discontinued operations was recorded in continuing operations. The provision for income taxes (including state taxes) was $184,000 in Q3 2009, as compared to a tax benefit of $9,000 in Q3 2008. The tax provision in Q3 2009 is attributable to the taxable income of KICO, offset by the non-taxable gain on acquisition of KICO.

The decrease in revenue and expenses in our discontinued Retail Business in 2009 as compared to 2008, and Q3 2009 as compared to Q3 2008 was attributable to the cessation of operations of the 16 remaining stores located in New York as a result of the sale of their assets on April 17, 2009, and the sale of our Pennsylvania stores on June 30, 2009.

The decrease in revenue and expenses in our discontinued franchise business in 2009 as compared to 2008, and Q3 2009 as compared to Q3 2008 was a result of the sale on May 1, 2009 of all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiaries that operated our DCAP franchise business.

Net income

Net income was $5,176,000 for 2009, compared to a net loss of $441,000 in 2008. Net income was $5,586,000 in Q3 2009, compared to a net loss of $100,000 in Q3 2008. The increase in net income during both periods ended in 2009 was due to the inclusion of KICO’s operations effective July 1, 2009, the gain on acquisition of KICO, and the cessation of our discontinued operations.

Credit Rating of Fixed-Maturity Securities

As of September 30, 2009, 97.6% of our fixed-maturity securities had a credit rating assigned to securities by Standard & Poor’s of A- or greater.

Fair Value Consideration

As disclosed in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, with respect to “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2008, we adopted new GAAP guidance, which provides a revised definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands financial statements disclosure requirements for fair value. Under this guidance, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (an “exit price”). The statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between inputs based on market data from independent sources (“observable inputs”) and a reporting entity’s internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable (“unobservable inputs”). The fair value hierarchy in GAAP prioritizes fair value measurements into three levels based on the nature of the inputs. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets have the highest priority (“Level 1”), followed by observable inputs other than quoted prices including prices for similar but not identical assets or liabilities (“Level 2”), and unobservable inputs, including the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumption that market participants would use, having the lowest priority (“Level 3”). As of September 30, 2009, 100% of the investment portfolio recorded at fair value was priced based upon quoted market prices.

As more fully described in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, “Investments—Impairment Review,” we completed a detailed review of all our securities in a continuous loss position, and concluded that the unrealized losses in these asset classes are the result of a decrease in value due to technical spread widening and broader market sentiment, rather than fundamental collateral deterioration, and are temporary in nature.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Effective July 1, 2009, the primary sources of cash flow is from our insurance underwriting subsidiary KICO, which are gross premiums written, ceding commissions from our quota share reinsurers, loss payments by our reinsurers, investment income and proceeds from the sale or maturity of investments. Funds are used by KICO for ceded premium payments to reinsurers, which are paid on a net basis after subtracting losses paid on reinsured claims and reinsurance commissions. KICO also use funds for loss payments and loss adjustment expenses on our net business, commissions to producers, salaries and other underwriting expenses as well as to purchase investments and fixed assets.

In connection with the plan of conversion of CMIC, we have agreed with the Insurance Department that for a period of two years following the effective date of conversion of July 1, 2009, no dividend may be paid by KICO to us without the approval of the Insurance Department. We have also agreed with the Insurance Department that any intercompany transaction between KICO and us must be filed with the Insurance Department 30 days prior to implementation.

The primary sources of cash flow for our holding company operations are from the commission income we receive in connection with the sale of our premium finance portfolio and collection of notes and interest income from the sale of businesses that were included in our discontinued operations. If the aforementioned is insufficient to cover our holding company cash requirements, we will seek to obtain additional financing.

We believe that our present cash flows as described above will be sufficient on a short-term basis and over the next 12 months to fund our company-wide working capital requirements.

Our reconciliation of net income to cash provided from operations is generally influenced by the collection of premiums in advance of paid losses, the timing of reinsurance, issuing company settlements and loss payments.

Cash flow and liquidity are categorized into three sources: (1) operating activities; (2) investing activities; and (3) financing activities, which are shown in the following table:

Nine Months Ended September 30,	2009			2008

Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	582,174		$	(601,170	)
Investing activities		2,291,161			1,019,726
Financing activities		(698,143	)		(928,820	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		2,175,192			(510,264	)
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of year		142,949			1,030,822
Cash and cash equivalents, end of year	$	2,318,141		$	520,558

Net cash provided by operating activities was $582,000 in 2009. Net cash used in operations was $601,000 in 2008. The increase in cash flow in 2009 was primarily a result of additional operating cash flows provided through the acquisition of KICO on July 1, 2009.

Net cash flows provided by investing activities were $2,291,000 in 2009 compared to $1,020,000 provided in 2008. The increase in cash flow in 2009 was primarily a result of the proceeds collected from the sale of our discontinued operations during the first six months of 2009 and additional investing cash flows provided through the acquisition of KICO on July 1, 2009.

Net cash used in financing activities during 2009 was $698,000, due to $1,448,000 of principal payments on long-term debt and lease obligations, offset by $750,000 of proceeds from newly issued long-term debt. The acquisition of KICO on July 1, 2009 had no effect on our financing activities.

Significant Transaction in 2009

Sale of Businesses

On April 17, 2009, we sold substantially all of the assets, including the book of business, of the 16 Retail Business locations that we owned in New York State (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 approximate principal amount of $551,000 (the “New York Notes”) were also delivered at the closing. The New York Notes are payable in installments of approximately $275,500 on each of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 and provide for interest at the rate of 5.25% per annum. As additional consideration, we will be entitled to receive through September 30, 2010 an amount equal to 60% of the net commissions derived from the book of business of six retail locations that we closed in 2008.

Effective June 30, 2009, we sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiary that operated our 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).

Effective May 1, 2009, we sold all of the outstanding stock of the subsidiaries that operated our DCAP franchise business. The purchase price for the stock was $200,000 which was paid by delivery of a promissory note in such principal amount (the “Franchise Note”). The Franchise Note is payable in installments of $50,000 on May 15, 2009, $50,000 on May 1, 2010 and $100,000 on May 1, 2011 and provides for interest at the rate of 5.25% per annum.

Redemption and Exchange of Debt

Accurate Acquisition

On April 17, 2009, we paid the balance of the note payable incurred in connection with our purchase of the Accurate agency business.

Notes Payable

In August 2008, the holders of $1,500,000 outstanding principal amount of notes payable (the “Notes Payable”) agreed to extend the maturity date of the debt from September 30, 2008 to the earlier of July 10, 2009 or 90 days following the conversion of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company (“CMIC”) to a stock property and casualty insurance company and the issuance to us of a controlling interest in CMIC (subject to acceleration under certain circumstances). In exchange for this extension, the holders were entitled to receive an aggregate incentive payment equal to $10,000 times the number of months (or partial months) the debt was outstanding after September 30, 2008 through the maturity date. The agreement provided that, if a prepayment of principal reduced the debt below $1,500,000, the incentive payment for all subsequent months would be reduced in proportion to any such reduction to the debt. The agreement also provided that the aggregate incentive payment was due upon full repayment of the debt.

On May 12, 2009, three of the holders exchanged an aggregate of $519,231 of Notes Payable principal for Series E Preferred Stock having an aggregate redemption amount equal to such aggregate principal amount of notes (see discussion below). Concurrently, we paid $49,543 to the three holders, which amount represents all accrued and unpaid interest and incentive payments through the date of exchange. In addition, on May 12, 2009, we prepaid $686,539 in principal of the Notes Payable to the five remaining holders of the notes, together with $81,200, which amount represents accrued and unpaid interest and incentive payments on such prepayment.

On June 29, 2009, we prepaid the remaining $294,230 in principal of the Notes Payable, together with $19,400, which amount represents accrued and unpaid interest and incentive payments on such prepayment.

In June 2009 and September 2009, we borrowed $500,000 and $250,000, respectively, 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 and are payable on July 10, 2011. The 2009 Notes are prepayable by us without premium or penalty; provided, however, that, under any circumstances, the holders of the 2009 Notes are entitled to receive an aggregate of six months interest from the issue date of the 2009 Notes with respect to the amount prepaid.

Exchange of Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock

Effective May 12, 2009, the holder of our Series D Preferred Stock exchanged such shares for an equal number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock which are mandatorily redeemable on July 31, 2011.

Exchange of Note Receivables and Acquisition of Kingstone Insurance Company

Effective July 1, 2009, CMIC converted from an advance premium cooperative to a stock property and casualty insurance company. Upon the effectiveness of the conversion, CMIC’s name was changed to Kingstone Insurance Company (“KICO”). Pursuant to the plan of conversion, we acquired a 100% equity interest in KICO in consideration of the exchange of our $3,750,000 principal amount of surplus notes of CMIC. In addition, we forgave all accrued and unpaid interest of $2,246,000 on the surplus notes as of the date of exchange (See Note 3).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2009. This conclusion was based on the material weakness identified in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as noted below.

Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that the information required to be disclosed by us is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As of September 30, 2009, we did not maintain effective controls to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

In light of the material weakness described above, we have performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Based in part on these additional efforts, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have included their certifications as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as described below.

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, we determined that, as of that date, there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relating to information technology applications and infrastructure.

In January 2009, we effectively implemented controls to rectify the weaknesses discussed above. These controls have been tested by an independent consulting firm and, based on the favorable results, management believes that these issues have been successfully remediated.

On July 1, 2009, we completed the acquisition of KICO. KICO has not previously been subject to a review of internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. We have begun the process of integrating KICO’s operations, including internal control over financial reporting, and extending our Section 404 compliance to KICO’s operations; however we have not yet made an assessment with regard to KICO’s internal control over financial reporting. We will be required to include KICO’s operations in our assessment of internal control over financial reporting effective June 30, 2010. KICO accounts for 97.2% of our consolidated assets and contributes all of our consolidated net income.
