Management�s Commentary �Our discussions regarding the possible sale of some storefronts have been hampered by the lack of credit facilities available to the prospective purchaser(s)�, said Barry Goldstein, DCAP Chairman and CEO. As a result, we are considering a reduction to our footprint in both New York and Pennsylvania. �We continue to reduce our costs to preserve our working capital�, said Victor Brodsky, Chief Accounting Officer. The process for the demutualization of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company continues. The Company is hopeful that the conversion will occur during 2008, but no assurances can be given. No interest payments have been received since Q1 2007. If the conversion is successful, DCAP has agreed to forego the amounts due under the surplus notes, including the accrued interest, in exchange for the stock of the newly named �Kingstone Insurance Company.� Financial Results Quarter ended September 30, � 2008 � � 2007 � � Commissions and Fees 1,143,916 1,359,996 (Loss) from continuing operations-net of tax (97,051 ) (8,717 ) (Loss) Income from discontinued operations-net of tax (2,974 ) 67,841 Net (Loss) Income (100,025 ) 59,124 � Diluted Per Share Information: (Loss) from continuing operations (0.03 ) - (Loss) Income from discontinued operations - 0.02 (Loss) Income per common share (0.03 ) 0.02 � Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding 2,971,521 3,298,073 Nine months ended September 30, � 2008 � � 2007 � Commissions and Fees 3,767,475 4,486,855 (Loss) Income from continuing operations-net of tax (227,737 ) 82,300 (Loss) Income from discontinued operations-net of tax (213,926 ) 200,878 Net (Loss) Income (441,663 ) 283,178 � Diluted Per Share Information: (Loss) Income from continuing operations (0.08 ) 0.03 (Loss) Income from discontinued operations (0.07 ) 0.07 (Loss) Income per common share (0.15 ) 0.10 � Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding 2,972,547 2,962,683 About DCAP Group DCAP Group, Inc. owns and operates the largest chain of independent storefront insurance agencies in the Northeast.
