Filed May 17, 2016
File No. 333-211412
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Kingstone Companies, Inc. (the “Registrant”) hereby requests acceleration of effectiveness of the above referenced Registration Statement so that it will become effective at 9:00 a.m. EST on May 27, 2016, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The Registrant hereby authorizes Fred Skolnik, an attorney with the Registrant’s outside legal counsel, Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman, LLP, to orally modify or withdraw this request for acceleration.
The Registrant hereby acknowledges that:
• | should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; |
• | the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and |
• | the Registrant may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
The Registrant respectfully requests that it be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Mr. Skolnik at (516) 296-7048, or in his absence to Cynthia Thomas, an attorney at Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman, LLP, at (516) 296-7055.
