Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the federal securities laws. The events described in forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report may not occur. Generally these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of our plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions to be made by us, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings or other aspects of our operating results. The words "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "project," "plan," "intend," "estimate," and "continue," and their opposites and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are beyond our control, that may influence the accuracy of the statements and the projections upon which the statements are based. Factors which may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed in Item 6 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 under “Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition”.
 
Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publically update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2005 AND 2004 (UNAUDITED)

1.  
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2005, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 have been prepared by us without audit. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position as of June 30, 2005, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
 
This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
 
2.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
a.   Principles of consolidation 
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we have a majority voting interest or voting control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
b.   Revenue recognition 
 
We recognize commission revenue from insurance policies at the beginning of the contract period (except for those commissions that are receivable annually, which we recognized on a ratable basis in 2004) and on automobile club dues equally over the contract period. Franchise fee revenue is recognized when substantially all of our contractual requirements under the franchise agreement are completed. Refunds of commissions on the cancellation of insurance policies are reflected at the time of cancellation.  
 
For our premium finance operations, we are using the interest method to recognize interest income over the life of each loan in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.”
 
Delinquency fees are earned when collected. Upon completion of collection efforts, after cancellation of the underlying insurance policies, any uncollected earned interest or fees are charged off.
 

8
 
c.   Website Development Costs
 
Technology and content costs are generally expensed as incurred, except for certain costs relating to the development of internal-use software, including those relating to operating our website, that are capitalized and depreciated over two years. A total of $0 and $12,945 in such costs was incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
d.   Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications (including reclassification of interest expense on long term debt from premium finance interest expense to other (expense) income-interest expense) have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the six and three months ended June 30, 2004 to conform with the classifications used for the six and three months ended June 30, 2005.
 
3.  
Business Segments:
 
We currently have two reportable business segments: Insurance and Premium Finance. The Insurance segment sells retail auto, motorcycle, boat, life, business, and homeowner's insurance and franchises. In addition, this segment offers tax preparation services and automobile club services for roadside emergencies. Insurance revenues are derived from activities within the United States, and all long-lived assets are located within the United States. The Premium Finance segment offers property and casualty policyholders loans to finance the policy premiums.
 
Summarized financial information concerning our reportable segments is shown in the following tables:

Stock Options
 
We have elected the disclosure only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FASB 123”) in accounting for our employee stock options. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized. Had we recorded compensation expense for the stock options based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in the six and three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, our net income and net income per share would have been adjusted as follows:

Net Income Per Share
 
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and conversion of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock.

Subordinated Debt and Warrants
 
Effective May 25, 2005, the holders of $1,500,000 outstanding principal amount of our subordinated debt agreed to extend the maturity date of the debt from January 10, 2006 to September 30, 2007. This extension was given to satisfy a requirement of our premium finance lender that arose in connection with the increase in our revolving line of credit to $25,000,000 and the extension of the line to June 30, 2007. In consideration for the extension of the due date of our subordinated debt, we extended the expiration date of warrants held by the debtholders for the purchase of 97,500 shares of our common stock from January 10, 2006 to September 30, 2007. The extension of the warrants was valued at $160,260 and is being amortized as additional interest expense over the extension period.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
 
Overview
 
We operate 25 storefronts, including 19 Barry Scott locations acquired through our August 2002 acquisition of Barry Scott Companies, Inc., and five Atlantic Insurance locations acquired through our May 2004 acquisition of substantially all the assets of AIA Acquisition Corp. We also have 45 franchised DCAP locations.
 
Our insurance storefronts serve as insurance agents or brokers and place various types of insurance on behalf of customers. We focus on automobile, motorcycle and homeowner’s insurance and our customer base is primarily individuals rather than businesses.
 
The stores receive commissions from insurance companies for their services. We receive fees from the franchised locations in connection with their use of the DCAP name. Neither we nor the stores currently serve as an insurance company and therefore do not assume underwriting risks. The stores also offer automobile club services for roadside assistance and income tax preparation services.
 
Payments Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, is an insurance premium finance agency that offers premium financing to clients of DCAP, Barry Scott and Atlantic Insurance offices, as well as non-affiliated insurance agencies. We currently operate within the states of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our consolidated financial statements include accounts of DCAP Group, Inc. and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, our management has utilized information available including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. It is possible that the ultimate outcome as anticipated by our management in formulating its estimates inherent in these financial statements might not materialize. In addition, application of the critical accounting policies below involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. Further, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
 
Commission and fee income
 
We recognize commission revenue from insurance policies at the beginning of the contract period (except for those commissions that are receivable annually, which we recognized on a ratable basis in 2004). Refunds of commissions on the cancellation of insurance policies are reflected at the time of cancellation.
 
12
 
Franchise fee revenue is recognized when substantially all of our contractual requirements under the franchise agreement are completed.
 
Automobile club dues are recognized equally over the contract period.
 
Finance income, fees and receivables
 
We are using the interest method to recognize interest income over the life of each loan in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.”
 
Delinquency fees are earned when collected. Upon completion of collection efforts, after cancellation of the underlying insurance policies, any uncollected earned interest or fees are charged off.
 
Allowance for finance receivable losses
 
Losses on finance receivables include an estimate of future credit losses on premium finance accounts. Credit losses on premium finance accounts occur when the unearned premiums received from the insurer upon cancellation of a financed policy are inadequate to pay the balance of the premium finance loan amount, which includes accrued interest. The majority of these shortfalls result in the write-off of such interest. We review historical trends of such losses relative to finance receivable balances to develop estimates of future losses. However, actual write-offs may differ materially from the write-off estimates that we used.
 
Goodwill and intangible assets
 
The carrying value of goodwill was initially reviewed for impairment as of January 1, 2002, and is reviewed annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount might not be recoverable. If the fair value of the operations to which goodwill relates is less than the carrying amount of those operations, including unamortized goodwill, the carrying amount of goodwill is reduced accordingly with a charge to expense. Based on our most recent analysis, we believe that no impairment of goodwill exists at June 30, 2005.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
We apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, to account for stock-based employee compensation plans and report pro forma disclosures in our Form 10-QSB filings by estimating the fair value of options issued and the related expense in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized for awards of common shares or stock options to our directors, officers and employees only if the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date (or other measurement date, if later) is greater than the amount the grantee must pay to acquire the stock.

Results of Operations
 
Our operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $1,080,145 as compared to $1,483,063 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, revenues from our insurance-related operations were $3,638,169 as compared to $3,472,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The revenue increase of $165,330 was primarily attributable to a change in underwriting in New York. There is a greater availability for coverage in the voluntary marketplace, thus reducing the need to place clients in the New York Auto Insurance Plan (“NYAIP”), the involuntary or residual market. We are paid a higher commission rate on the voluntary policies, both for new and renewal business.
 
Premium finance revenues decreased $315,819 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. The total number of policies that we financed during the first half of 2005 increased slightly over the first half of 2004; however, the growth occurred outside the New York City metropolitan area. This non-NewYork City market generates lower premium levels and, therefore, lower loan sizes. As a result, there was a decline in premium finance revenue.
 
Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $203,028 more than for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to our increased advertising and marketing efforts in 2005, increased salaries (due to, among other things, the hiring of John J. Willis as our Chief Operating Officer in October 2004) and increased consulting fees.
 
Our provision for finance receivable losses for the first six months of 2005 was $25,521 more than for the first six months of 2004. In early 2005, the NYAIP, at the behest of the New York Department of Insurance (the “Department”), notified all carriers that it has always been the Department’s position that policy premiums were not to be increased without specific underwriting information. Certain carriers had been increasing premiums, but without documentation. This unwarranted increase resulted in an increase of earned premiums by such carriers and thus, upon cancellation, an unwarranted reduction in the return premium to the insured (or in the case of a policy which had been premium financed, a reduction in the return premium to the finance company). One large carrier acknowledged that it had followed this flawed underwriting, and began making refunds late in the first quarter of 2005. We anticipate further refunds from this carrier and are exploring our options regarding other carriers, which to date, have not offered refunds. Refunds on previously charged-off accounts offset our provision for finance receivable losses in the first six months of 2005.
 
Our depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $15,051 more than for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily the result of the amortization of loan origination costs incurred in connection with our revolving loan agreement entered into in December 2004.
 
Our premium finance interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $8,829 more than for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was the result of the repayment of a portion of our subordinated loan with proceeds of our revolving credit line, offset by a lower floating interest rate on the new revolving credit line entered into in December 2004.
 
 
 
 
14
 
Our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $93,161 less than for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This decrease was the result of our repaying a portion of our subordinated loan in 2005.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, our provision for income taxes was $357,310 as opposed to $476,386 for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This was due to the lower income before income taxes in 2005.
 
Our insurance-related operations, on a stand-alone basis, generated a net profit before income taxes of $961,565 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to a net profit before income taxes of $817,976 during the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to increased revenue as discussed above. Our premium finance operations, on a stand-alone basis, generated a net profit before income taxes of $897,564 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to a net profit before income taxes of $1,216,301 during the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to reduced premium finance revenue in 2005 as discussed above. Loss before income taxes from corporate-related items not allocable to reportable segments was $965,805 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $836,830 during the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to increased executive compensation and consulting fees.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of June 30, 2005, we had $4,100,492 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $5,363,323. As of December 31, 2004, we had $515,899 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $5,678,700.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, our cash and cash equivalents increased by $3,584,593. This was due to the following:
 
·  
Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,262,967 primarily due to the following: (i) our net income for the period of $536,014, plus a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,311,681 and an increase in premiums payable of $2,470,866, offset by (ii) a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $911,983 and taxes payable of $318,862.
 
·  
Net cash provided by investing activities of $221,354 primarily due to a decrease in our net finance contracts receivable of $218,295.
 
·  
Net cash provided by financing activities of $100,272 primarily due to the following: (i) proceeds of $32,848,533 from our revolving credit line from Manufacturers and Traders Trust Co. for premium finance purposes, offset by (ii) payments of $30,751,272 on the revolving credit line and $2,004,301 of long-term debt.
 
Our premium finance operations are financed pursuant to a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit from Manufacturers and Traders Trust Co. (“M&T”). Subject to certain conditions, M&T has agreed to arrange an additional $10,000,000 credit facility with other lenders on a “best efforts” basis. The line of credit bears interest at either (i) M&T’s prime rate or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.5%, matures on June 30, 2007 and is secured by substantially all of our assets. We can borrow against
 
 
15
the line to the extent of 85% of eligible premium finance receivables. As of June 30, 2005, $13,692,920 was outstanding under the line.
 
We have no current commitments for capital expenditures. However, we may, from time to time, consider acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies.
 
In connection with our initial acquisition of the line of credit from M&T, we obtained a $3,500,000 secured subordinated loan to support our premium finance operations. In January 2005, we utilized the M&T line of credit to repay $1,000,000 of the subordinated debt. Effective May 10, 2005, we utilized the line of credit to repay an additional $1,000,000 of the subordinated debt. The remaining balance of the loan was due in January 2006 and carries interest at the rate of 12-5/8% per annum. Effective May 25, 2005, we obtained an extension of the maturity date of the remaining subordinated debt to September 30, 2007. We have the right to prepay the subordinated debt (subject to M&T’s consent) without penalty.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Item 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005 in alerting him in a timely manner to material information required to be included in our SEC reports. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
