SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
 

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Sunstates Corporation, Common Stock, $0.33\1/3\ Par 
Value; $3.75 Cumulative Preferred Stock, $25 Par Value) File No. 1-5300

May 10, 1994.
    Sunstates Corporation (``Company'') has filed an application with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
securities from listing and registration on the American Stock 
Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing these 
securities from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, its Board of Directors (the ``Board'') 
unanimously approved a resolution on January 20, 1994, to withdraw the 
Company's Common Stock and Preferred Stock from listing on the Amex 
and, instead, list such Common Stock and Preferred Stock on the 
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations/
National Market Systems (``NASDAQ/NMS'').
    The Company believes that the NASDAQ/NMS system of competing market 
makers will result in increased visibility and sponsorship for its 
Common Stock and $3.75 Cumulative Preferred Stock than is presently the 
case with the single specialist on the Amex.
    The Company believes that the NASDAQ/NMS system will offer the 
Company's shareholders a broader market, greater liquidity and less 
volatility in quoted prices per share than is presently available on 
the Amex.
    The Company believes that the firms making a market in the 
Company's Common Stock and $3.75 Cumulative Preferred Stock on the 
NASDAQ/NMS system will also be inclined to issue research reports 
concerning the Company, thereby increasing the number of firms 
providing research and advisory reports.
    Any interested person may, on or before June 1, 1994, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether the 
application has been made in accordance with the rules of the exchanges 
and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the 
protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue and order granting the application after 
the date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
