HEWLETT, N.Y., Nov 17, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- DCAP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- DCAP Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCAP), the largest chain of independent storefront insurance agencies in the Northeast, today reported a net loss for the third quarter of 2008 of $100,025 (or ($0.03) per diluted share) as compared to net income of $59,124 in 2007 (or $.02 per diluted share). Net loss from continuing operations was $97,051 in 2008 as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $8,717 in 2007.

Year to date net loss in 2008 was $441,663 (or ($0.15) per diluted share) and year to date net loss in 2008 from continuing operations was $227,737 (or ($0.08) per diluted share).

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."
