Barry Goldstein, DCAP’s CEO stated, “During April and May 2009, we sold our New York State-based retail locations and our franchise operations. We are also seeking to sell our remaining three retail locations in Pennsylvania. We included the financial results of our retail locations and franchise business in the first quarter of 2009 as discontinued operations and have reclassified our first quarter 2008 results to reflect the same.”

Mr. Goldstein continued, “As previously announced, DCAP’s reformation of its business model from a retail insurance brokerage operation to the ownership of an insurance company is subject to policyholder approval of the conversion of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company from an advance premium cooperative to a stock property and casualty insurance company. A special meeting of the policyholders of Commercial Mutual to approve the plan of conversion is scheduled to be held on June 8, 2009.”
