(A) Kingstone generates operating losses for state purposes and has prior year NOLs available. The state NOL as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was approximately $22,103,000 and $20,083,000, respectively. KICO is not subject to state income taxes. KICO’s state tax obligations are paid through a gross premiums tax, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) within other underwriting expenses. A valuation allowance has been recorded due to the uncertainty of generating enough state taxable income to utilize 100% of the available state NOLs over their remaining lives, which expire between 2027 and 2039.
