PART I



|ITEM 1. | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

Overview

Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, DCP Holding Company, doing business as the Dental Care Plus Group, or DCPG or the Company, offers to
employer groups of all sizes health maintenance organization (HMO), participating provider organization (PPO) and indemnity plans for dental care services. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately 256,700 members in
our dental benefits programs with 2,206 dentists participating in our two provider networks in Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, Central Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana. In addition we had approximately 11,200 members in our vision benefit
program. We market our products through a network of independent brokers.

DCP Holding Company is the parent holding
company, which includes wholly-owned subsidiaries Dental Care Plus, Inc., or Dental Care Plus, an Ohio corporation, Insurance Associates Plus, Inc., or Insurance Associates Plus, an Ohio corporation, and Adenta, Inc., or Adenta, a Kentucky
corporation. We are owned and controlled primarily by approximately 630 dentists who participate in our Dental Care Plus plans.

Dental Care Plus, which accounts for approximately 99% of our consolidated revenues, was established in 1986 as a provider-owned, specialty health insuring corporation licensed in the State of Ohio. On July 2, 2004, shareholder
ownership of Dental Care Plus was reorganized into ownership of DCP Holding Company. As a result of the reorganization, which was implemented through a shareholder approved merger, each issued and outstanding common share of Dental Care Plus was
converted into one Class A Redeemable Common Share and one Class B Redeemable Common Share of DCP Holding Company. On August 31, 2005, we issued ten additional Class B Redeemable Common Shares to each of our shareholders in the form of a
stock dividend.

The reorganization of Dental Care Plus into the Dental Care Plus Group was part of managements
strategic plan to create a corporate structure that would facilitate continued growth of existing businesses while at the same time providing management with greater flexibility to make acquisitions of related businesses and obtain growth capital.
The reorganization was also designed to provide more liquidity opportunity to our holders of common shares.

As an
Ohio-domiciled insurance company dually licensed as a life and health insurer and a specialty health insuring corporation, Dental Care Plus is able to underwrite dental indemnity, dental PPO, dental HMO, and vision benefit products as well as other
life and health oriented products in Ohio.

Business Segments

We manage our business with three reportable segments: fully-insured dental, self-insured dental, and Corporate, All Other. Corporate, All Other consists primarily of certain corporate
activities. We have identified our segments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which is consistent with information used by our
Chief Executive Officer in managing our business. The segment information aggregates products with similar economic characteristics. These characteristics include the nature of employer groups and pricing, benefits and underwriting requirements.

The results of our fully-insured dental and self-insured dental segments are measured by gross profit. We do not measure
the results of our Corporate, All Other segment. We do not allocate insurance expenses, investment and other income, interest expense, or other assets or liabilities to our fully-insured dental and self-insured dental segments. These items are
retained in our Corporate, All Other segment. Our segments do not share overhead costs and assets.

Managed Dental Benefits Market

According to the National Association of Dental Plans (NADP), in 2007 approximately 11.6 million persons residing in
Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana were covered by some form of dental benefit through employer-

sponsored group plans, other group or individual plans, or publicly funded dental coverage. This represents approximately 53% of the combined population of
these states. This enrollment level represents a decrease of approximately 5% from the estimated 2006 enrollment level in these states. These enrollment decreases are primarily due to the decreases in dental indemnity enrollment in Ohio and Kentucky
in 2007.

The following table shows the estimated 2007 and 2006 dental enrollment statistics for Ohio and Kentucky, the two states where we
have group dental business:

Our products primarily consist of dental HMO, dental PPO and
dental indemnity plans, with dental HMO products constituting 93% of our total revenues. All of our products are marketed to employer groups. Our business model allows us to offer dental benefit products including broad networks of participating
dentists while at the same time promoting the use of private practice fee-for-service dentistry, a primary interest of our participating dentists. The dental benefit products we offer currently vary depending on geographic market. Our objective is
to offer our dental HMO products in all markets we serve, in both fully-insured and self-insured forms.Similar to our competitors dental PPO products, our dental HMO products provide members with access to a broad provider network.

We currently market our dental HMO, dental PPO, and dental indemnity plans to employers in select Ohio, Kentucky and
Indiana counties.

In general, our other, non-HMO products are offered in all counties in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. We do
not, however, offer our PPO product in the eight county area Dental Care Plus has been serving since 1986. This area, which we refer to as our original eight county service area, includes Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren counties in Ohio, and
Boone, Campbell, Kenton and Pendleton counties in Kentucky.

In the markets outside of our original eight county service
area, including Dayton and Springfield, Ohio and Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky, our products are often offered to employer groups as bundles, where the

subscribers are offered a combination of dental HMO, dental PPO and dental indemnity options, with various employer contribution strategies as determined by
the employer.

Individuals become subscribers of our dental plans through their employers. Qualified family members of
these subscribers become members through such individuals. Employers pay for all or part of the premiums, and make payroll deductions for any premiums payable by the employees.

Fully-Insured Dental

Our fully-insured dental products segment includes our Dental
Care Plus dental HMO plan, our DentaSelect dental PPO plan and our DentaPremier dental indemnity plan.

Dental Care
PlusUnder our dental HMO plan, premiums are paid to Dental Care Plus by the employer, and members receive access to our dentist network in their region. Plan designs range from full premium payouts by the employer to shared contributions of
varying proportions by the employer and its employees to full payment by the employees. There are no waiting periods and there is no balance billing in our fully-insured dental HMO. Covered dental services are segmented into three categories:
preventative, basic and major services, typically covered at 100%, 80% and 50%, respectively. In most cases, each member has a $1,000 annual maximum benefit and $1,000 lifetime orthodontia maximum benefit. For the year ended December 31, 2008,
fully-insured dental HMO premiums totaled approximately $36.1 million, or 55% of our total premiums and ASO fees.

DentaSelectOur dental PPO product, DentaSelect, is underwritten by Dental Care Plus and has been administered primarily by an independent third party administrator (TPA). In 2008, the Company commenced administering the
DentaSelect PPO product for a limited number of employer groups and will continue to transition the administration of this product in house in 2009. DentaSelect includes some elements of managed health care; however, it includes more cost-sharing
with the member, through premium contributions, co-payments and annual deductibles. Employers and their participating employees typically share the cost of premiums in various contribution proportions. For the year ended December 31, 2008,
fully-insured dental PPO premiums totaled approximately $3.0 million, or 4.5% of our total premiums and ASO fees.

DentaPremierWe offer DentaPremier, our dental indemnity product underwritten by Dental Care Plus, to employers who participate in our Dental Care Plus HMO fully-insured and self-insured plans with out of area members or members that
require complete freedom of provider access. We introduced this plan because many Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana employer groups have employees in other states performing sales or service functions. DentaPremier is a traditional dental indemnity plan
that allows members to use any dentist they wish. Employers and their participating employees typically share the cost of premiums in various contribution proportions. As with our dental HMO products, members are responsible for paying standard
deductible amounts and co-payments. Premium rates for DentaPremier are generally higher than premium rates for our dental HMO products. When the DentaPremier product was introduced in 2003, the product was underwritten by a third party insurance
carrier. As of December 31, 2008, approximately 79% of these dental indemnity members have been transitioned to Dental Care Plus insurance policies. For the year ended December 31, 2008, fully-insured dental indemnity premiums totaled
approximately $1.2 million, or 1.8% of our total premiums and ASO fees.

Self-insured Dental

Our self-insured dental segment includes only our ASO product, which we offer through Dental Care Plus to employers who self-insure their
employee dental plans. These employers pay all claims according to our fee schedule. The Company provides administrative and claims processing services, benefit plan design, and access to its provider networks for an administrative fee, generally to
self-insured groups. This product is offered only to employer groups that have the financial resources to bear the claims risk for the dental benefits of employees and their family members. Self-insured employers retain the risk of
financing substantially all of the cost of

dental benefits. Self-insured employers may purchase stop loss insurance coverage from third-party carriers to limit aggregate annual costs. For the year
ended December 31, 2008, self-insured ASO fees totaled approximately $25.5 million, or 38.4% of our total premiums and ASO fees.

Corporate, All
Other

We offer dental PPO, dental indemnity and vision PPO benefit plans that are underwritten by third-party insurance
carriers that are included in our Corporate, All Other segment. Our subsidiary, Insurance Associates Plus, is an insurance agency licensed in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana that markets our third-party dental PPO and vision benefit products. Insurance
Associates Plus earns commissions and administrative fees based on members enrolled in the dental PPO and vision benefit plans. Our vision benefit PPO product, Vision Care Plus, is underwritten and administered by an independent TPA. Members can
access both network and out-of-network vision care providers and are subject to fixed co-payments and benefit limits. Premium cost is typically shared by employers and their participating employees in various contribution proportions. We began
offering Vision Care Plus in 2005 to Dental Care Plus employer groups whose existing contracts are up for renewal as well as to new employer groups.

The commission and administrative fee revenue that we earned related to the dental PPO, dental indemnity and vision benefit product lines underwritten by third-party insurance carriers collectively aggregated
approximately $421,000, or less than 1% of total premiums and ASO fees, for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Seasonality of Dental Service
Utilization

Based on our healthcare service expense on a per member per month (PMPM) basis that adjusts the
quarterly healthcare service expense for membership volume changes, our dental plan members have historically used their dental plan benefits according to a seasonal pattern that has caused our quarterly healthcare services expense to be highest in
the first quarter, slightly below average in the second quarter, slightly above average in the third quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. The following table shows these trends in tabular form:





|               |  |                            |  |       |  |        |  |       |  |        |  |      
|-------------- |  | -------------------------- |  | ----- |  | ------ |  | ----- |  | ------ |  | -----
|               |  | Healthcare Service Expense
|               |  | 2008                       |  | 2007  |  | 2006  
|               |  | $000s                     |  | $PMPM |  | $000s |  | $PMPM |  | $000s |  | $PMPM
|First Quarter  |  | 12,922                     |  | 18.87 |  | 12,144 |  | 18.78 |  | 10,543 |  | 18.85
|Second Quarter |  | 13,017                     |  | 18.32 |  | 11,356 |  | 17.96 |  | 9,744  |  | 17.59
|Third Quarter  |  | 14,157                     |  | 18.52 |  | 12,620 |  | 18.39 |  | 11,157 |  | 17.95
|Fourth Quarter |  | 13,030                     |  | 17.49 |  | 11,383 |  | 17.44 |  | 9,682  |  | 16.30

Claims are higher in the first quarter because almost all of our
employer-sponsored plan years commence on January 1. The third quarter increase is primarily due to the high level of dental services used in August by student members prior to returning to school. Use of dental services is lowest in the fourth
quarter due to the holiday season and the fact that a portion of our members have already reached their maximum annual benefit level for the year.

Business Strategy

Our objective is to become one of the largest providers of dental benefits in the
Midwest. Our strategy is to continue increasing membership in all of our plans by gaining new employer group customers, acquiring other similar dental plans, adding more participating dentists to our HMO provider networks and increasing our product
offerings. We intend to further develop the use of dental indemnity and PPO products as a means to grow membership sufficient to support the addition of more provider relations staff to recruit dentists into our dental HMO provider network because
we believe the dental HMO products marketed by Dental Care Plus represent our best competitive advantage.

##### Table of Contents

Our Dental Care Plus HMO plans offer both the broad provider access ordinarily attributed
to a dental PPO and the utilization review and cost control features of a dental HMO. The combination of a large provider network, competitive pricing and renewal practices, and an emphasis on outstanding customer service have allowed us to
effectively compete with dental PPOs. Because we are primarily owned by dentists who participate in our Dental Care Plus plans, and our dentists are reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis, we often have a competitive advantage in recruiting and
retaining dentists for our networks.

Membership RetentionEmployers generally contract with our dental HMO plans for
a period of one year. Continuous marketing and sales efforts are made to obtain contract renewals on an annual basis. The ability to obtain contract renewals depends on our premium schedules, competitive bids received by employers from our
competitors, and employee satisfaction with our plans, among other factors. The cost of replacing lost members is higher than retaining members. Accordingly, membership retention is a primary focus of our marketing efforts. We strive for consistent
employer and broker contacts and fair, justified renewal pricing in order to increase retention rates. Due to these membership retention efforts, we achieved a retention rate of approximately 99.0% in 2008, compared to retention rates of 97.3% and
96.0% in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Group Billing and CollectionWe dedicate significant resources to achieving
prompt and accurate billing for premiums, reimbursement for self-insured claims and ASO fees. We also have a structured process for monitoring and collecting our accounts receivable.

Customer ServiceWe provide customer service to employer group administrators, members, and dentists. Customer service
representatives respond promptly to employer and member inquiries regarding member identification cards and benefit determinations and provider staff inquiries regarding eligibility, benefit verification and claims payments. We strive to answer
questions in one phone call. We monitor key customer service statistics in order to maintain positive customer relationships with all constituencies.

Information TechnologyOur dental plan administration system allows us to easily adapt to benefit changes sought by employer groups and allows for increased efficiencies and costs savings in the functional
areas of group marketing, enrollment, billing, collections, cash application, claims adjudication and claims payment by reducing manual processing and facilitating the development of electronic membership enrollment, electronic group billing, and
automated cash application. With the system, we have experienced an increase in the percentage of claims that can be electronically loaded and adjudicated. We are also focused on the importance of data integrity, security, ease of data extraction,
and interfacing with banks, clearinghouses, and other business partners.

We leased our dental plan administration system
computer equipment under a master equipment lease with a commercial leasing company dated October 1, 2004. The lease term with respect to equipment commenced on January 31, 2005 and expired January 31, 2008. At the end of the lease
term, we exercised our option to purchase the computer equipment at its fair market value. We also lease our dental plan administration software under the master equipment lease. The lease term with respect to software commenced on January 31,
2005 and expired January 31, 2009. Under this lease, we were obligated to pay the bank $19,351 per month. At the end of the lease, we retained use of the software and are paying monthly maintenance fees directly to the software vendor.

Dentist Networks

We
maintain dental networks comprised of dentists who have contracted with Company subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2008, we had provider contracts with 2,206 dentists. Of these participating dentists there are 1,149 dentist office locations in
Ohio, 872 dentist office locations in Kentucky, 114 dentist office locations in Indiana, and 124 dentist office locations in other states. Of the 2,206 participating dentists, 630 are shareholders who each own one Class A voting redeemable
common share.

##### Table of Contents

We actively recruit dentist providers in each of our markets. In some instances, we
identify expansion area counties where additional providers are needed and locate dentists in these expansion area counties by reviewing state dental licensure records. In other cases, new employer group customers request that we work to recruit
specific dentists their employees desire to have access to in our provider networks.

Before a dentist can become a
participating provider, we engage in extensive due diligence on the dentists professional licenses, training and experience, and malpractice history. The dentist must also be recommended by our Credentialing Committee consisting of five
experienced dentists who are members of our Board of Directors (the Board).

Our provider contracts require
that participating dentists participate in periodic fee surveys for the purpose of establishing our fee schedule, to participate in and be bound by our utilization review and credentialing plans (see Utilization Control and Quality Assurance
Policies below), to maintain a state license in good standing to practice dentistry, to maintain professional liability insurance coverage in amounts determined by our Board, and to maintain patient records in a confidential manner. Our
provider contracts are for a term of one year and may be automatically renewed for successive one year periods unless a written termination notice is given by either party on 30 days notice.

Participating dentists are reimbursed for services provided to members of our dental plans on a fee-for-service basis based
on a maximum allowable fee schedule we have developed or the actual fee charged by the dentist, whichever is less. In the case of our dental HMO, reimbursements to dentists are subject to a percentage withhold of the amount otherwise payable to the
dentist. At the end of each fiscal year, our Board evaluates the performance of our dental HMO plans, capital and surplus requirements prescribed by the Ohio Department of Insurance, factors impacting our financial strength rating, funding needed to
support strategic objectives for the coming years and any other factors deemed relevant by the Board and, based on that evaluation, determines the amount of the withhold that should be paid to dentists, if any. If we have met our capital and surplus
requirements as prescribed by the Ohio Department of Insurance (see State Regulations and Federal Regulations below) and have the necessary funding to support our strategic objectives, the Board may generally authorize a
provider withhold payment out, although there is no requirement to authorize such withhold return.

Our networks are
important to the success of our dental HMO and dental PPO plans. We have a dedicated provider relations department that communicates with network dentists and performs periodic credentialing and re-credentialing of each participating dentist.

Employees

At December
31, 2008, we employed a total of 53 employees. We have no collective bargaining agreements with any unions and believe that our overall relations with our employees are good.

Sales and Marketing

Many of our employer group customers are represented by
insurance brokers and consultants who assist these groups in the design and purchase of health care products. We generally pay brokers a commission based on premiums, with commissions varying by market and premium volume, pursuant to our standard
broker agreement. In addition to commissions based directly on premium volume for sales to particular customers, we also have programs that pay brokers and agents on other bases. These include commission bonuses based on sales that attain certain
levels or involve particular products. We also pay additional commissions based on aggregate volumes of sales involving multiple customers.

Utilization
Control and Quality Assurance Policies

Utilization control and quality assurance policies are essential to our success.
Our reimbursement structure limits the frequency of various procedures in order to control utilization of dental care by members of our fully-insured and self-insured dental plans.

##### Table of Contents

Each dentist in our networks is obligated to adhere to our utilization review program.
Non-compliance or continued deviations from the utilization review program will result in sanctions against a dentist. Such sanctions may include probation, suspension or expulsion as a participating dentist, and may also affect the dentists
ability to receive compensation from the plan for services provided to members. We believe that a stringent utilization review program is necessary to provide adequate cost containment.

Our Board of Directors appoints a committee of dentists to ensure that the utilization review program is met and continually upgraded as
appropriate. The Utilization Review/Quality Assurance Committee (UR/QA Committee) is charged with reviewing service patterns of providers and requests for pretreatment estimates that do not clearly meet appropriate standards.

The UR/QA Committee is also charged with retrospective review of all covered services provided by a dentist to determine whether the
frequency and nature of the services are in compliance with standards adopted by the UR/QA Committee. The UR/QA Committee may recommend that the participating agreement of a dentist who is not in compliance with these standards be terminated,
suspended or not renewed, or that benefits paid to the provider for particular services rendered by him or her be reduced.

Credentialing

The Credentialing Committee, which is comprised of dentists and is appointed by our Board of Directors, has oversight
over the credentialing of new dentist providers that apply to be participating providers in our provider networks. This committee oversees the periodic re-credentialing of dentist providers already in one of our existing provider networks and
evaluates whether a dentist should be terminated from one of the provider networks if an action is filed against the dentist with a state department of insurance or other regulatory agency or the provider loses his medical malpractice insurance
coverage due to an adverse claim. The Credentialing Committee is also charged in part with ensuring that all participating dentists maintain good standing with regulatory agencies. The recommendations of the Credentialing Committee are forwarded to
our Board of Directors for consideration.

Risk Management

Through the use of internally-developed underwriting criteria, we determine the risk we are willing to assume and the amount of premium to charge for our dental benefit products. Employer groups
must meet our underwriting standards in order to qualify to contract with us for coverage.

Competition

The marketing and sale of fully-insured and self-insured dental benefit plans is highly competitive. Rising health care benefit premiums
and changes in the economy have had an impact on the number of companies able to offer dental benefits to their employees. A significant portion of the employers who offer our plans are in the education, government and health care industries.
Concentration of business in these industries insulates us from membership decreases that competitors may face in a sluggish or recessionary period.

We primarily compete with full-line dental only plans, other dental HMO carriers and national insurance companies that offer dental or vision coverage. Many of the companies with whom we compete are larger, have
well-established local, regional, and/or national reputations, and have substantially greater financial and sales resources. It is possible that other competitors will emerge as the market for dental plans continues to develop.

Our major competitors are Delta Dental of Ohio and Delta Dental of Kentucky. These competitors operate as dental HMOs and dental PPOs in
which members receive certain benefit incentives to receive services from network dentists. Dental PPO members may also use non-network dentists, but at reduced benefit levels.

##### Table of Contents

Additional competitors include national insurance companies such as Guardian, Met Life,
Humana and Anthem. These companies offer dental indemnity and dental PPO plans. Most of these dental plans are similar to those offered by us in design, and they also pay providers on a fee-for-service basis. Dental indemnity plans lack the basic
characteristics of a dental HMO plan, including contractually enforced utilization and quality assurance standards and limitations on dentists fees, and members are not restricted to participating dentists. Dental PPO plans include both
in-network benefits similar to those of a dental HMO plan and out-of-network benefits like those associated with a dental indemnity plan.

Our ability to offer either or both a dental indemnity plan and a dental PPO plan has had a positive impact on our membership growth. We are currently licensed to underwrite dental HMO, dental PPO and dental indemnity
plans in Ohio. In addition we are licensed to underwrite dental HMO and dental PPO in Kentucky. Some of our dental indemnity and dental PPO offerings are still underwritten by third party underwriters.

Our main competitors in the fully-insured vision benefit area are Vision Service Plan and EyeMed, a subsidiary of Lenscrafters. We
believe that our vision benefit plans are competitively priced and include sufficient benefits to compete effectively.

Our
dental benefits market share of approximately 15% to 20% in the Southwestern Ohio and Northern Kentucky market gives us a strong competitive position. This market share is due to our large provider network, competitive pricing and customer service.
In 2008, our dental membership in Southwestern Ohio increased from approximately 201,000 members as of December 31, 2007 to approximately 211,000 members as of December 31, 2008. Dental membership in Northern Kentucky was approximately
21,000 members at December 31, 2007 and again at December 31, 2008.

We have approximately 13,500 total members
in the Dayton and Springfield, Ohio market. We have developed a provider network in Dayton, Ohio that includes approximately 71% of the licensed dentists in the area. Since the introduction of the DentaSelect PPO product in 2005, our relationships
with brokers in this area have improved, and we have added a significant number of employer groups. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately 11,600 dental PPO members and approximately 1,900 dental HMO members in the Dayton and Springfield
market. As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately 9,200 dental PPO members and approximately 500 dental HMO members in the Dayton and Springfield market.

With the acquisition of Adenta, we became a competitor in the dental benefits market in Central Kentucky with approximately 10,000 dental members, consisting of approximately 7,000 group members
and 3,000 individual members as of June 2005. We elected to terminate the individual member plans during the transition. With the addition of approximately 500 network dentists via the Adenta acquisition, we now have a network of approximately 700
dentists which represents approximately 38% of the licensed dentists in Central Kentucky. In addition, we have been building insurance broker relationships in Central Kentucky and have been quoting on new employer groups in this market. As of
December 31, 2008, we had approximately 900 group dental HMO members and approximately 7,700 group dental PPO members in our Central Kentucky market.

Customers

During 2008, approximately 9% of our total revenue was generated by four fully-insured employers.
Also during 2008, approximately 13% of our total revenue was generated by two self-insured employers. As we continue to increase the number of employers and members in our dental plans, these employers as a source of revenue and enrollment will
lessen in proportion to our total revenue and size.

Each of our customers signs a standard form agreement, which differs
depending on whether the customer is fully-insured or self-insured. There are two standard form agreements for fully-insured customersone for employer-sponsored plans, and one for voluntary employee plans. Most of our standard form agreements
are for one year terms and automatically renew for additional one-year terms. Certain agreements extend for a two-year

term. The employer group customers may terminate our fully-insured customer contracts by giving 45 days prior written notice, yet the fully-insured
customer contracts are non-cancelable by the Company during the one-year or two-year contract term unless the contract coverage terminates due to non-payment of premium when due. Our self-insured customer contracts can be canceled by the Company or
employer group by giving 60 days prior written notice. The premium rates set forth in each fully-insured customer contract remain in effect during each one year term, and may only be increased at renewal.

State Regulations

GeneralState
insurance laws and other governmental regulations establish various licensing, operational, financial and other requirements relating to our business. State insurance departments in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana are empowered to interpret such laws of
their respective states and promulgate regulations applicable our business.

The National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC) is a voluntary association of all of the state insurance commissioners in the United States. The primary function of the NAIC is to develop model laws on key insurance regulatory issues that can be used as guidelines
for individual states in adopting or enacting insurance legislation. While NAIC model laws are accorded substantial deference within the insurance industry, these laws are not binding and variations from the model laws from state to state are
common.

Dental Care Plus is a dually licensed as a life and health insurance company and a health insuring corporation
providing specialty health care services under Ohio law, as a limited health service benefit plan in Kentucky and as a life and health insurance company and a dental HMO in Indiana. The regulations of each state insurance department include specific
requirements with regard to such matters as minimum capital and surplus, reserves, permitted investments, contract terms, policy forms, claims processing requirements and annual reports. If Dental Care Plus fails to maintain compliance with all
material regulations, regulatory authorities are empowered to take certain actions against it, such as revoking its license, imposing monetary penalties, or taking over supervision of its operations, or seeking a court order for the rehabilitation,
liquidation or conservation of Dental Care Plus.

Insurance Associates Plus is licensed in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and
Illinois as an insurance agency. As such, it is required to have at least one insurance agent licensed in each of those states. If Insurance Associates Plus fails to meet this requirement in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana or Illinois, its license could be
revoked by the state.

Adenta is licensed as a life and health insurance agency in Kentucky and Indiana. Recent changes to
Kentucky law have lessened the regulatory requirements applicable to Adenta, including elimination of the requirement to file annual reports with the Kentucky Office of Insurance.

NAIC Accounting PrinciplesIn 1998, the NAIC adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles that became the
NAICs primary guidance on statutory accounting. The Ohio Department of Insurance has adopted the Codification. Statutory Accounting Practices (SAP) differ in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (GAAP). The significant differences for the Company are:



| |  |  | Similar to GAAP, deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between the statutory and tax bases of assets and liabilities for SAP; however,
statutory deferred tax assets are limited based upon tests that determine what is an admitted asset under SAP. Under SAP, the change in deferred taxes is recorded directly to surplus as opposed to GAAP where the change is recorded to current
operations.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Similar to GAAP, deferred acquisition costs are those costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new and renewal business. Such costs
include commissions, costs of contract issuance and underwriting, premium taxes and other costs the Company incurs to acquire new business
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | or renew existing business. For GAAP purposes, the Company defers acquisition costs and amortizes them over the estimated life of the contracts in proportion
to premiums earned. Under SAP, these acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Risk Based
CapitalThe NAICs Risk-Based Capital for Life and/or Health Insurers Model Act (the Model Act) provides a tool for insurance regulators to determine the levels of statutory capital and surplus an insurer must maintain in
relation to its insurance and investment risks and whether there is a need for possible regulatory action. The Model Act (or similar legislation or regulation) has been adopted in states where Dental Care Plus does business. The Model Act provides
for three levels of regulatory action, varying with the ratio of the insurance companys total adjusted capital (defined as the total of its statutory capital and surplus, asset valuation reserve and certain other adjustments) to its authorized
control level risk-based capital (RBC):



| |  |  | If a companys total adjusted capital is less than or equal to 200 percent but greater than 150 percent of its RBC (the Company Action Level),
the company must submit a comprehensive plan aimed at improving its capital position to the regulatory authority proposing corrective actions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If a companys total adjusted capital is less than or equal to 150 percent but greater than 100 percent of its RBC (the Regulatory Action
Level), the regulatory authority will perform a special examination of the company and issue an order specifying the corrective actions that must be followed.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If a companys total adjusted capital is less than or equal to 70 percent of its RBC (the Mandatory Control Level), the regulatory authority
must place the company under its control.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to the levels of regulatory action described
above, the regulatory authority may impose restrictions, reporting or other requirements on companies whenever the regulatory authority determines that the financial condition of the company warrants such action, notwithstanding the fact the company
meets the requirements of the Model Act. A regulatory authority may also seek an order of the courts placing the company in rehabilitation, liquidation or conservation whenever the regulatory authority determines that the companys financial
condition is hazardous, notwithstanding the fact that the company may be in compliance with the requirements of the Model Act.

Dental Care Pluss statutory annual statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Ohio Department of Insurance reflected total adjusted capital in excess of Company Action Level RBC.

Federal Regulations

HIPAA
Administrative Simplification- The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) authorized the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to adopt a series of regulations designed to simplify
the exchange of information electronically between health plans and health care providers and to promote efficiency within the health care industry, as well as to protect the confidentiality and security of individually identifiable health
information. Pursuant to this authority, HHS has adopted a series of regulations which are applicable to Covered Entities, which include health care providers, health plans and health care clearinghouses (collectively the HIPAA
Regulations). The HIPAA Regulations adopted to date require Covered Entities to do the following: 1) comply with uniform standards for the electronic exchange of information in certain transactions between health care providers and health
plans related to the administration of benefits and payment of claims (Standard Electronic Transactions Regulations); 2) adopt certain policies and procedures with respect to the use and disclosure of certain protected health information
(PHI) created, received or maintained by the Covered Entity, whether in electronic or paper form, and provide individuals with a written notice of how the Covered Entity will use and disclose PHI and of the individuals rights with
respect to PHI (Privacy Regulations); 3) adopt certain policies and procedures and implement certain technical safeguards to protect the security of electronic PHI (Security Regulations); 4) use certain uniform unique
identifiers when conducting transactions with health care providers (Standard Provider Identifier Regulations) and employers (Standard Employer Identifier Regulations). Covered Entities are currently required to be in



12

##### Table of Contents

compliance with the Standard Electronic Transactions Regulations, the Privacy Regulations, the Security Regulations and the Standard Employer Identifier
Regulations. The compliance date for the Standard Provider Identifier Regulations was May 23, 2008.

Enforcement of
the HIPAA Regulations is vested in the Office of Civil Rights of HHS, which has the power to investigate compliance and complaints. Sanctions for failing to comply with or for violation of the HIPAA Regulations include criminal penalties of up to
$250,000 per violation and civil sanctions of up to $25,000 per violation.

Many of the HIPAA Regulations are complex, and
requests for regulatory clarification of many aspects are still pending. Additional standards under the Standards Electronic Transactions Regulations are also pending, and additional regulations requiring unique identifiers for other entities,
including health plans, may be adopted. There are few official sources of interpretation available beyond the original commentary which accompanied the final HIPAA Regulations. We have, however, made a good faith effort to comply and believe we are
in compliance with the requirements of the HIPAA Regulations that are applicable to our subsidiaries as of this date.

GLBAThe Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or GLBA) contains privacy provisions and introduced new controls over the use of an individuals nonpublic personal data by
financial institutions, including insurance companies, insurance agents and brokers licensed by state insurance regulatory authorities. Numerous pieces of federal and state legislation aimed at protecting the privacy of nonpublic personal financial
and health information are pending. The privacy provisions of GLBA that became effective in July 2001 require a financial institution to provide written notice of its privacy practices to all of its customers. In addition, a financial institution is
required to provide its customers with an opportunity to opt out of certain uses of their non-public personal information. We believe that we are in compliance with the GLBA privacy regulations.

Both GLBA and HIPAA provide that there is no federal preemption of a states privacy laws if the state law is more stringent than
the privacy rules imposed under GLBA or HIPAA. Pursuant to the authority granted under GLBA to state insurance regulatory authorities to regulate, the NAIC promulgated a new model regulation called Privacy of Consumer Financial and Health
Information Regulation, which was adopted by numerous state insurance authorities. As well, there are other pre-existing state laws, including but not limited to insurance regulatory statutes, which were not pre-empted by GLBA or HIPAA and which
remain in effect. We believe we are in compliance with state laws governing the privacy of personal financial and health information that are applicable to our subsidiaries, to the extent such laws are not pre-empted by either GLBA or HIPAA.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

If any of the
following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and the value of our shares could decline. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we
currently believe may materially affect our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

The current state of the national economy and adverse changes in economic conditions could adversely affect the Companys
business and results of operations.

The current state of the national economy and any adverse changes in the market
conditions that are exacerbated by the financial credit situation could adversely affect our customers. As a result, our employer group customers may seek to control their employee benefit costs including their dental plan benefits, which may lead
to limited rate increases, fewer new sales and the loss of some dental plan membership. These factors may impact the Companys revenue in the near-term.

The market trend of employer groups moving away from dental HMO plans to dental PPO plans may result in a decrease in our dental plan membership and premium revenue.

In the dental benefits industry, there has been a contraction in the dental indemnity product category and the HMO product category, with
the membership volume shifting to the dental PPO product category. We have historically limited our product offering to fully-insured and self-insured dental HMO plans. Our HMO plans form the core part of our business and account for approximately
93% of our consolidated revenues. If this market trend continues, we could experience a reduction in the demand for our HMO products, which could lead to a decrease in our membership, premium revenue and net income.

Our business is dependent upon a limited number of customers, and the loss of any one such customer could result in a loss of
substantial premium revenue.

During 2008, approximately 9% of our total revenue was generated by four fully-insured
employer groups and approximately 13% of our total revenue was generated by two self-insured employer groups. If our relationship with any one of these employers were to terminate, our dental membership and the related premium revenue would
decrease, which could lead to lower net income if we are not able to reduce operating expenses or replace this lost revenue. As of January 1, 2009, one self-insured employer group that represented approximately 6% of the Companys total
revenue in 2008 elected not to renew its contract with the Company.

A small number of independent brokers source a
substantial portion of our business, and the loss of any one such broker could result in a loss of substantial premium revenue.

During 2008, approximately 56% of our business was sourced by five independent brokers, one of which was responsible for sourcing approximately 33% of our business. If our relationship with any of these brokers were to terminate, our
premium revenue could decrease materially. As a result, we could experience significant net losses unless we were able to replace this lost revenue or reduce our operating expenses.

Because our premiums are fixed by contract, we are unable to increase our premiums during the contract term if our claims costs exceed
our estimates which may reduce our profitability.

Most of our revenues are generated by premiums consisting of fixed
monthly payments per subscriber. These payments are fixed by contract, and we are obligated during the contract term, which is generally one year, to provide or arrange for the provisions of dental services. The premiums are not subject to
adjustment during the contract term. If our claims costs exceed our estimates, we will be unable to adjust the premiums we receive under our current contracts, which may result in a decrease in our net income.

##### Table of Contents

Our customers decisions to transition from a fully-insured to a self-insured
dental plan or from a self-insured to a fully-insured dental plan could result in lower contribution margins and increased costs.

During 2008, a number of fully-insured dental HMO members shifted to our self-insured dental HMO product. Additionally, a number of self-insured members shifted to our fully-insured dental HMO product. If our
customers continue to shift from a fully-insured dental HMO product to a self-insured dental HMO product, our dental HMO contribution margin may decrease and we may incur significant transitioning costs.

Claims submitted by dental providers may be fraudulent or duplicative, which may reduce our gross profit margin and net income.

We set our fully-insured premium rates based on an expected level of claims for a twelve-month period. Our calculation of
expected claims does not anticipate the payment of fraudulent or duplicate claims. If providers were to submit fraudulent or duplicative claims, our claims cost could increase, and our gross profit margin and net income would be adversely affected.

The financial strength rating assigned to Dental Care Plus may be downgraded, which could result in a loss of employer
groups and insurance brokers, which may, in turn, cause our premium revenue to decline.

A.M. Best assigns a fair rating
to companies that have, in their opinion, a fair ability to meet their ongoing obligations to policyholders, but are financially vulnerable to adverse changes in underwriting and economic conditions. Our B- (Fair) rating was affirmed in January of
2006, April of 2007 and again in May of 2008. Our A.M. Best rating is a measure of our financial strength relative to other insurance companies and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. The rating assigned by A.M. Best
Company is based, in part, on the ratio of our fully-insured premium revenue to our statutory capital and surplus. If Dental Care Plus continues to experience growth in its fully-insured premium revenue but does not retain enough of its earnings or
obtain new sources of capital, the rating assigned to Dental Care Plus may be downgraded.

None of our employer group
contracts allows termination in the event our A.M. Best rating is downgraded. If a downgrade were to occur, employer groups may decline to renew their annual or multi-year contract with us, and insurance brokers may refuse to market our dental HMO
products. In addition, a downgrade may make it difficult for us to contract with new employer groups and new brokers. The loss of existing employer groups and the loss of insurance brokers may lead to a loss of premium revenue.

If we fail to maintain contracts with an adequate number of dentists, it may be difficult to attract and retain employer groups, which
may lead to a loss of premium revenue.

Our business strategy is dependent to a large extent upon our continued
maintenance of our dentist networks. Generally, our participating provider contracts allow either party to terminate on limited notice (generally 30 days prior to annual renewal). If we are unable to continue to establish and maintain contracts with
an adequate number of dentists in our networks, employer groups may not renew their contracts with us and it may be difficult to attract new employer groups, which may lead to a loss of premium revenue.

We encounter significant competition that may limit our ability to increase or maintain membership in the markets we serve, which may
harm our growth and our operating results.

We operate in a highly competitive environment. We compete for employer
groups principally on the basis of the size, location and quality of our provider network, benefits provided, quality of service and reputation. A number of these competitive elements are partially dependent upon and can be positively affected by
financial resources available to a dental plan. Many other organizations with which we compete have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. For example, our competitors include Delta Dental of Ohio, which has



15



---

##### Table of Contents

an A.M. Best rating of A- (Excellent) and Delta Dental of Kentucky, which has an A.M. Best rating of B+ (Good). In addition, we compete with national
insurance carriers such as Metropolitan Life and Guardian, which have A.M. Best ratings of A+ (Superior) and A++ (Superior), respectively. Given the higher ratings and financial strength of many of our competitors, we may encounter difficulty in
increasing or maintaining our dental membership in the future.

Our business is heavily regulated by the states in which
we do business, and our failure to comply with regulatory requirements could lead to a loss of our authority to do business in such states.

Our business is subject to substantial government regulation, principally under the insurance laws of Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. We will also become subject to the insurance laws and regulations of other states in
which our subsidiaries may in the future conduct business. These laws, which vary from state to state, generally require our subsidiaries to be licensed by the relevant state insurance commission. With respect to our dental HMO products, these laws
and regulations also establish operational, financial and other requirements. Dental Care Plus is currently required to maintain a minimum capital and surplus of approximately $2.5 million according to the regulations for the state of Ohio. The
ability of Dental Care Plus to maintain such minimum required capital and surplus is directly dependent on the ability of Dental Care Plus to maintain a profitable business. While Dental Care Plus is currently profitable, there can be no guaranty
that it will be profitable in the future. Failure to maintain compliance with the minimum required capital and surplus of each state could result in Dental Care Plus becoming subject to supervision by the Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana insurance
regulatory agencies, and could further result in the suspension or revocation of Dental Care Pluss Certificate of Authority in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, monetary penalties, or the rehabilitation or liquidation of Dental Care Plus. Insurance
Associates, Inc. is required to have one agent licensed in Ohio and Kentucky. Otherwise, none of our dental PPO, dental indemnity or vision PPO business is subject to capital and surplus requirements.

If an event of default occurs under the loan documents we entered into in connection with the purchase and refinancing of our office
building, the entire balance of indebtedness due under these loan documents may become due, which could have an adverse effect on our short-term liquidity and may lead to a downgrade of our financial strength rating.

We are obligated under our mortgage note with an original principal amount of $1.8 million and an outstanding principal amount of
approximately $1.3 million at December 31, 2008. Under the terms of the note, we are obligated to make principal payments of $10,000 per month plus interest based on LIBOR plus 1.75% through May 2013, and are obligated to make a balloon payment
of $600,000 in June 2013. We are also obligated under a revolving note with a borrowing limit of $650,000 and an outstanding principal amount of approximately $630,000 at December 31, 2008. This revolving note became effective December 18,
2008 and matures on December 15, 2009. Under the terms of the revolving note, we are obligated to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount monthly at an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 1.75%

It is an event of default under the notes if: (1) we fail to make any payment of principal or accrued interest when due, and such
nonpayment remains uncured for a period of 10 days, (2) any of our representations or warranties in the note is materially inaccurate or misleading, (3) we fail to observe or perform any other term or condition of the note for a period of
30 days, (4) we dissolve, or merge or consolidate with a third party, or lease or sell a material part of our assets or business to a third party, (5) we fail to submit to the lender current financial information upon request, (6) a
lien or other encumbrance becomes attached to our property, (7) in the judgment of the lender, a material adverse change occurs in our existing or prospective financial condition that may affect our ability to repay our obligations, or the
lender deems itself insecure, (8) we declare bankruptcy, a bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed within 30 days, we make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, we fail to generally pay our debts as such debts become
due, or a receiver or similar official is appointed, (9) our nonpayment under any rate management obligation, and (10) we sell or transfer any of the collateral securing the loan, or the collateral securing the loan is destroyed, lost or
damaged in any material respect.

##### Table of Contents

It is an event of default under the mortgage if: (1) we fail to maintain hazard,
earthquake, flood; business interruption, boiler and machinery or public liability insurance, or any other insurance on the property requested by our lender, (2) we fail to notify our lender of (a) any cancellation, reduction in amount or
material change in our insurance coverage, (b) the assertion by any person of the power of eminent domain, (c) the following events: (i) fire causing damage in excess of $20,000, (ii) receipt of notice of condemnation,
(iii) receipt of notice from a governmental authority regarding structure, use or occupancy, (iv) receipt of notice of alleged default from any holder of a lien or security interest in the property, (v) the commencement of any
litigation affecting the property or (vi) the change in any occupancy of the property, (3) any of our representations or warranties under the mortgage are untrue or misleading in any respect, (4) a foreclosure proceeding is instituted
with respect to the property, (5) we attempt to limit the loan indebtedness secured by the mortgage, as permitted under Ohio law, (6) any default occurs under any other obligation we may have to the lender, or (7) an event of default
occurs under any other loan document. The loan documents provide that if an event of default occurs, the lender may declare the entire balance of the indebtedness immediately due and payable. If we are required to pay the entire balance, our cash
would be significantly reduced, which could have an adverse effect on our short-term liquidity. The resulting reduction in our cash on hand could lead to a downgrade in our A.M. Best rating.

A decrease in the working capital and liquidity of our business may have an impact on our ability to meet debt service requirements.

If the working capital of our business were to decrease significantly due to an increase in accounts receivable or the
loss of a significant number of employer groups, we may be forced to liquidate portfolio investments in order to meet debt service requirements which would result in a reduction of our investment income. If we were to experience a period of
continuing operating losses and working capital were not restored to levels sufficient to meet our debt service requirements, we may need to use surplus cash for debt service, which could result in a material reduction in our capital and surplus
balance. If the accounts receivable balances from certain employer groups are greater than 90 days past due, these accounts receivable become non-admitted assets for statutory accounting purposes, leading to a decrease in our capital and surplus
balance. If our capital and surplus is lowered materially, the Ohio Department of Insurance may commence adverse regulatory action against us, ranging from requesting corrective action to assuming control of Dental Care Plus, and A.M. Best may
consider lowering our financial strength rating.

Our business is highly concentrated in a limited geographic area and
adverse economic conditions within the markets in which we do business could impair or reverse our growth trends and have a negative impact on our premium revenue and net income.

The operations of our subsidiaries are concentrated in the Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky and Central Kentucky markets, although our
primary operations are in Southwestern Ohio. A prolonged regional economic downturn could cause employers to stop offering dental coverage as an employee benefit or elect to offer dental on a voluntary, employee-funded basis as a means to reduce
their operating costs. A decrease in employer groups offering dental on an employer sponsored basis could lead to a decrease in our membership, premium revenue and net income.

Dental services utilization by members of our fully-insured dental plans may be higher than expected, resulting in higher than anticipated healthcare services expense and a reduction in our
net income.

The fully-insured dental plans offered by Dental Care Plus, our largest subsidiary, are pre-paid by
participating employers in amounts based on our actuarial projections that are used to establish premium rates for such plans. As a result, the premiums received by Dental Care Plus from participating employers do not fluctuate based on quantity or
cost of services utilized by members. We bear the risk that premiums we have established will not be adequate to cover the cost of services provided to members of our fully-insured dental HMO plan and our related operating expenses.

##### Table of Contents

We engage a licensed consulting actuary to assist us in establishing and adjusting our
claims payable liability. We attempt to control the cost of dental services through our provider fee schedule, which we increase from time to time. The ratio of our fully-insured healthcare services expense to fully-insured premium revenue, or
healthcare expense ratio (HER), can fluctuate between approximately 77% and 81%. Given our insurance expense is approximately 18% of our premium revenue, our annual operating income is approximately 1% to 5% of premium revenue. The
fluctuation in the HER ratio is primarily due to dental services utilization higher or lower than the level expected by management when the fully-insured premium rates are established. If we see an increase in dental services utilization, we
increase the level of our claims payable liability and record a corresponding increase to healthcare services expense for the current period in order to ensure that the claims payable liability is adequate given this new level of dental services
utilization. Based on our 2008 operating results, a 1% increase in dental services utilization above the anticipated level would translate into an increase in our claims payable liability of approximately $313,000 and a corresponding increase in
healthcare services expense. Accordingly, our pre-tax income would decrease by this amount.

We incur additional
expenses as a result of being a public company, which has a negative impact on our financial performance.

We incur
significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses on an on-going basis as a result of being a public company. Compliance with securities laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and SEC regulations thereunder, cause us to incur significant costs and expenses, including legal and accounting costs, and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We will be required
to engage our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and SEC regulations, and these expenses will negatively impact our net
income in 2009 and beyond.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview

Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dental Care Plus Group offers to
employer groups of all sizes dental HMO, dental PPO, dental indemnity and vision PPO benefit plans and related services. As of December 31, 2008, we had approximately 267,800 members in our dental and vision benefit programs with 2,206 dentists
participating in our networks of providers.

We manage our business with three reportable segments: fully-insured dental,
self-insured dental, and Corporate, All Other. Corporate, All Other consists primarily of certain corporate activities. Our dental HMO, PPO and indemnity products and our vision product line are marketed to employer groups. We identified our
segments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 131 Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information which is consistent with information used by our Chief Executive Officer
in managing our business. The segment information aggregates products with similar economic characteristics. These characteristics include the nature of employer groups and pricing, benefits and underwriting requirements.

The results of our fully-insured and self-insured dental segments are measured by gross profit. We do not measure the results of our
Corporate, All Other segment. We do not allocate investment and other income, insurance expenses, or other assets or liabilities to our fully-insured and self-insured segments. These items are retained in our Corporate, All Other segment. Our
segments do not share overhead costs and assets. We do, however, measure the contributions of each of our fully-insured and self-insured segments to costs retained in our Corporate, All Other segment.

##### Table of Contents

Many factors have an impact on our results, but most notably our results are influenced
by our ability to establish and maintain a competitive and efficient cost structure and to accurately and consistently establish competitive premiums, ASO fees, and plan benefit levels that are commensurate with our dental and administrative costs.
Dental costs are subject to a high rate of inflation due to many forces, including new higher priced technologies and dental procedures, new dental service techniques and therapies, an aging population, lifestyle challenges including obesity and
smoking, the tort liability system, and government regulations.

Profitability Strategy

Our strategy to drive profitability focuses on providing solutions for employers to the rising cost of dental care through leveraging our
growing networks of participating dentists and deploying a variety of products that give employer groups and members more choices than only our dental HMO plans. Additionally, we have increased the diversification of our membership base, not only
through our newer products, but also by entering new geographic territories. While we expect our dental PPO and indemnity products to be important drivers of growth in the years ahead, we expect to migrate a substantial number of members from those
products to our flagship Dental Care Plus HMO products that have a broad provider network.

In our markets, there has been
limited growth in recent years in the number of individuals enrolled in dental benefit plans. However, there has been a shift of membership out of the more expensive dental indemnity products into the dental PPO products that offer both less
expensive in-network benefits and out-of-network benefits as well. At the same time, members have migrated away from dental HMO products with very limited provider networks. While these dental HMO products are the least expensive, employers and
members have focused their attention on the dental PPO products that offer broad provider access with the cost control associated within a contracted provider network for the in-network portion of the dental services rendered.

In our original eight county service area, our non-exclusive dental HMO provider network includes approximately 94% of the dental
providers in the market. In that market our dental HMO provides the broad provider access of a dental PPO along with effective utilization and cost control features. Because of the broad provider network, our fully-insured dental HMO is priced
higher than other dental HMOs and has premium rates more equivalent to competitor dental PPOs.

We have experienced steady
growth in membership and revenue in both the fully-insured and self-insured dental HMO product during the last five years. We attribute this growth to our broad provider network, competitive premium rates for our fully-insured business and ASO fees
for our self-insured business, and our commitment to providing outstanding customer service to all of our constituencies (employer groups, members, insurance brokers, and dentists).

Healthcare services expense has increased for both the fully-insured dental segment and the self-insured dental segment. We have
increased our provider fee schedule at the beginning of each of the last five years; these fee schedule increases contribute to an increase in the healthcare services expense on a per member per month basis.

The introduction of the DentaPremier dental indemnity product in 2003 created new business opportunities for us with employer groups in
our original eight county service area. The introduction of the DentaSelect dental PPO product has been instrumental to our new sales in the Dayton, Ohio and Central Kentucky markets.

Insurance expenses increased significantly in 2006, 2007 and 2008 in connection with our expansion into Dayton, Ohio and Central Kentucky
with new dental indemnity and dental PPO products. Other important factors that have an impact on our profitability are both the competitive pricing environment and market conditions. With respect to pricing, there is a tradeoff between sustaining
or increasing underwriting margins versus increasing or decreasing enrollment. With respect to market conditions, economies of scale have an impact on our administrative overhead. As a result of a decline in preference for tightly-managed dental HMO
products, dental costs have become increasingly comparable among our larger competitors. Product design and consumer involvement have become more important drivers of dental services consumption, and administrative expense

efficiency is becoming a more significant driver of margin sustainability. Consequently, we continually evaluate our administrative expense structure and
attempt to realize administrative expense savings through productivity gains.

Highlights



| |  |  | We generated net income of approximately $615,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to net income of approximately $604,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The net income increase is primarily the result of increased membership, lower fully-insured healthcare service utilization and the shift of a large fully-insured employer group with high utilization to the self-insured
arrangement.

Summary

Net income available for redeemable common shares was approximately $615,000 and $604,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Basic earnings per redeemable common share was $72.71 and
$72.88 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in net income available for redeemable common shares primarily resulted from increased premium revenue and decreased insurance expense as a percentage of total premium revenue
from 18.8% in 2007 to 18.0% in 2008, offset by an increase in total healthcare services expense as a percentage of total premium revenue from 80.3% in 2007 to 80.9% in 2008.

Membership

Our fully-insured membership increased approximately 11,100 in 2008. Our
fully-insured dental HMO membership decreased approximately 2,600 members, or 1.9%, from 133,800 at December 31, 2007 to 131,200 at December 31, 2008. This membership decrease is attributable to the reduction of approximately 9,000
fully-insured dental HMO members due to the conversion of the membership of one employer group from our fully-insured dental HMO product to our self-insured dental HMO product effective January 1, 2008, offset by new fully-insured dental HMO
sales in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky market of approximately 8,500 members. In addition, fully-insured dental HMO membership decreased by an additional 2,100 members due to a limited number of employer groups that did not renew their
contracts with Dental Care Plus in the last 12 months. Our fully-insured indemnity membership increased by approximately 500 members, or 12.5%, from approximately 4,000 members at December 31, 2007 to approximately 4,500 members at
December 31, 2008. In addition, our fully-insured dental PPO membership increased by approximately 13,200 members, from approximately 6,100 members at December 31, 2007 to approximately 19,300 members at December 31, 2008.

Our self-insured dental HMO membership increased approximately 13,800 members primarily due to the conversion of 9,000 members of one
employer group from our fully-insured dental HMO product to our self-insured dental HMO product effective January 1, 2008. The remaining 4,800 member increase was the result of our adding a number of large new self-insured groups in
Southwestern Ohio and Northern Kentucky.As of January 1, 2009, one self-insured employer group that represented approximately 6% of the Companys total revenue in 2008 elected not to renew its contract with the Company. However,
the Company has replaced the majority of this membership loss with new fully-insured membership effective January 1, 2009.

Dental indemnity membership underwritten by a third party insurance carrier increased by approximately 400 members, or 50.0%, from approximately 800 members at December 31, 2007 to approximately 1,200 members as of December 31,
2008. Dental PPO membership underwritten by a third party insurance carrier decreased by approximately 6,900 members, or 75.0%, from approximately 9,200 members at December 31, 2007 to approximately 2,300 members at December 31, 2008.
Fully-insured vision membership increased by approximately 4,200 members, or 60.9%, from approximately 6,900 members at December 31, 2007 to approximately 11,100 members at December 31, 2008.

million in 2008 that was offset by a decrease in fully-insured revenue of approximately $4.5 million due to the conversion of employer groups to the
self-insured product line in 2007 and 2008. Approximately $27,000 of this premium revenue increase is associated with fully-insured dental premium rates during 2008. Fully-insured premium revenue increased by approximately $666,000 as a result of
higher premium rates in 2008 on new sales and employer group renewals. This increase was offset by a decrease in premium revenue of approximately $639,000 due to the shift of employer groups with higher than average premium rates to the self-insured
product.

Fully-insured dental HMO premium revenue decreased approximately $2,348,000 in 2008. This decrease is primarily
due to the shift of employer groups to the self-insured dental HMO product in 2008 that were in the fully-insured dental HMO product in 2007, offset by the 2008 new sales of the fully-insured dental HMO product discussed above. Fully-insured dental
indemnity premium revenue increased by approximately $918,000, or 335.0%, from approximately $274,000 in 2007 to approximately $1,192,000 in 2008. In 2006, the Company entered into a quota share group dental reinsurance agreement with a third party
insurance company. The third party insurance company has agreed to indemnify the Company relative to its share of the insurance risk. This group dental reinsurance agreement that expired May 31, 2008 applied to certain group dental PPO policies
underwritten by DCP in our expansion market. The fully-insured PPO premium revenue for the portion retained by DCP increased $2,067,000, or 226.4%, from approximately $913,000 in 2007 to approximately $2,980,000 in 2008.

Total self-insured revenue increased approximately $5,683,000 in 2008. This increase is attributable to the 24.2% increase in
self-insured dental member months, an increase in self-insured ASO fee rates and a 3.7% increase in self-insured claim revenue on a per member per month basis in 2008 as compared to 2007. The self-insured segment revenue has two components:

Self-Insured Claim RevenueSelf-insured claim revenue increased approximately $5,378,000, or
28.7%, from approximately $18,724,000 in 2007 to approximately $24,102,000 in 2008. This increase is due to the 24.2% increase in self-insured dental member months along with a 3.7% increase in self-insured claim revenue on a per member per month
basis in 2008 as compared to 2007.

Self-Insured ASO FeesSelf-insured ASO fees increased
approximately $305,000, or 29.2%, from approximately $1,044,000 in 2007 to approximately $1,349,000 in 2008. These increases are primarily attributable to the 24.2% increase in self-insured dental member months and a significant increase in the
average self-insured ASO fee rates. We provide administrative and claims processing services, benefit plan design, and access to our provider networks for an administrative fee, generally to self-insured groups. Our ASO fee revenue is recognized
monthly when earned and is normally based on annual contracts with the self-insured groups.

Corporate, All
Other premium revenue is primarily derived from the non-DCP dental indemnity product, dental PPO product and vision product underwritten by third party insurance carriers. In aggregate, Corporate, All Other premium revenue decreased by approximately
$65,000, or 13.0%, from approximately $500,000 in 2007 to approximately $435,000 in 2008. During the first nine months of 2007, the dental indemnity product was underwritten by a third party insurance carrier and we were paid a portion of its
premium in the form of administrative fees that cover our related costs and broker commissions. These dental indemnity administrative fees were approximately $124,000 for 2007 and approximately $42,000 for 2008. Our other dental PPO product is
underwritten by third party insurance carriers and we are paid a portion of its premium in the form of administrative fees that cover our related costs and broker commissions. These dental PPO administrative fees decreased by approximately $21,000,
or 11.5%, from approximately $182,000 in 2007 to approximately $161,000 in 2007. In addition, our fully-insured vision product is underwritten by a third party insurance carrier and we are paid a portion of its premium in the form of administrative
fees that cover our related costs and broker commissions. These vision product administrative fees decreased by approximately $59,000, or 36.2%, from approximately $163,000 in 2007 to approximately $104,000 in 2008.

Investment Income

Investment income decreased approximately $46,000, or 17.1%, from approximately $269,000 in 2007 to approximately $223,000 in 2008. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in prevailing interest rates
during 2008.

Other Income

Other income decreased approximately $14,000 in 2008. Dental provider network leasing revenue decreased approximately $15,000 in 2008 from approximately $28,000 in 2007 to approximately $13,000 in 2008 primarily due to the conversion of
fully-insured dental PPO membership policies underwritten by Dental Care Plus, Inc. in 2008. Rental revenue earned from leasing a portion of the office building owned by our subsidiary Dental Care Plus decreased by approximately $11,000, or 19.0%,
from approximately $58,000 in 2007 to approximately $47,000 in 2008 due to a vacancy in a portion of the office building in 2008. These decreases in other income were offset by certain increases in other income of approximately $12,000.

Fully-insured healthcare services expense increased approximately $340,000 in
2008. Approximately $481,000 of this healthcare service expense is attributable to net membership volume increases in the fully-insured dental product lines. New fully-insured sales resulted in an increase in fully-insured healthcare services
expense of approximately $4.0 million in 2008 that was offset by a decrease in fully-insured revenue of approximately $3.5 million due to the conversion of employer groups to the self-insured product line in 2007 and 2008. This increase was offset
by a decrease in healthcare services expense of approximately $141,000 due to a decrease in healthcare services expense on a per member per month basis. Fully-insured healthcare services expense increased by approximately $345,000 as a result of
higher healthcare services expense for existing and new business. This increase was offset by a decrease in healthcare services expense of approximately $486,000 due to the shift of employer groups with higher than average healthcare services
expense per member per month to the self-insured product.

Fully-insured dental HMO healthcare services expense decreased
by approximately $2,283,000, or 7.6%, from approximately $30,236,000 in 2007 to approximately $27,953,000 in 2008. This decrease is primarily attributable to the 6.6% decrease in fully-insured dental HMO member months in 2008 compared to 2007 and a
slight decrease in utilization on a per member per month basis and a less expensive mix of services provided in 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to the shift of employer groups with higher than average healthcare services expense on a
per-member-per-month basis out of the fully-insured product line. The fully-insured Dental Care Plus dental indemnity product was introduced in the fourth quarter of 2007. The fully-insured Dental Care Plus dental indemnity healthcare services
expense increased by approximately $841,000, or 346.1%, from $243,000 in 2007 to approximately $1,084,000 in 2008. The fully-insured Dental Care Plus dental PPO healthcare services expense for the portion of the risk retained by DCP increased by
approximately $1,781,000, or 235.0%, from approximately $758,000 in 2007 to approximately $2,539,000 in 2008.

Self-insured
healthcare services expense increased in 2008. This increase is attributable to both the 24.2% increase in self-insured dental HMO member months in 2008 compared to 2007, the provider fee schedule increase implemented at the beginning of 2008, and
the shift of employer groups with higher than average healthcare services expense on a per-member-per-month basis into the self-insured product line.

Corporate, All Other healthcare services expense is not recognized by the Company due to
the fact that our other dental indemnity, dental PPO and vision PPO products are underwritten by third party insurance carriers.

Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, the Company ceded portions of its written premium revenue. As such, the Company
limits its loss exposure to that portion of the insurable risk that it retains. However, if a reinsurer fails to honor its obligations, the Company could suffer additional losses as the reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company of its
obligations to policyholders. The Company terminated its reinsurance contracts effective May 31, 2008. Dental insurance premiums ceded were approximately $121,000, $228,000 and $13,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The healthcare services expense ceded was approximately $106,000, $189,000 and $10,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has approximately $5,000 and $27,000 of reinsurance recoverable
and prepaid reinsurance premium net of reinsurance payable as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Insurance Expenses

Consolidated insurance expenses increased approximately $702,000 in 2008. Total insurance expenses as a percentage of total premium
revenue, or the insurance expense ratio, was 18.0% for 2008, decreasing 80 basis points from the 2007 ratio of 18.8%. Salaries and benefits increased by approximately $271,000, or 6.6%, due to staff pay increases implemented in 2008 and the addition
of one full-time employee in the claims and customer service department. Commissions expense increased approximately $150,000, or 6.3%, primarily due to the increases in membership. Advertising expense for 2008 increased by approximately $128,000,
or 45.9%, compared to 2007. This increase was primarily due to a significant advertising campaign in the Louisville, Kentucky market during 2008. Depreciation and amortization expense for 2008 increased approximately $41,000, or 10.1%, compared to
2007. This increase was due primarily to the purchase of new depreciable equipment and computer software in 2008. In 2008, board of directors expense increased approximately $59,000, or 11.3%, as a result of director compensation increases. Interest
expense decreased $26,000, or 27.4%. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the interest expense associated with our capital lease and mortgage obligations as these obligations decreased. The remaining amount of approximately
$79,000 is due to various operating expense increases in 2008 as compared to 2007.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for 2008 of 36.8% increased 2.7% compared to the 34.1% effective tax rate in 2007. Our 2008 effective tax rate was
higher than the federal statutory rate due to applicable state and local taxes. In addition, in 2007 the Company had a one time decrease due to the change in the FIN 48 liability due to settlement of state income taxes and the elimination of certain
non-deductible reorganization costs associated with acquiring the Dental Care Plus Life Insurance license. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8-Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for a complete
reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective tax rate.

Summary

Net income available for redeemable common shares was approximately $604,000 and $103,000 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Basic earnings per redeemable common shares was $72.88 and
$12.59 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in net income available for redeemable common shares primarily resulted from a decrease in total healthcare services expense as a percentage of total premium revenue from 81.5% in
2006 to 80.3% in 2007 and offset by increased insurance expenses.

Membership

Our fully-insured membership increased by approximately 5,800 in 2007. Our fully-insured dental HMO membership decreased approximately
3,400 members, or 2.5%, from 137,100 at December 31, 2006 to 133,700 at December 31, 2007. This membership decrease is attributable to the reduction of approximately 14,900 fully-insured dental HMO members due to the conversion of two
employer groups from our fully-insured dental HMO product to our self-insured dental HMO product effective July 1, 2007, offset by new fully-insured dental HMO sales in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky market of approximately 14,000 members. In
addition, fully-insured dental HMO membership decreased by an additional 2,500 members due to a limited number of employer groups that did not renew their contracts with Dental Care Plus in the last 12 months. With the

##### Table of Contents

conversion of dental indemnity membership to be underwritten by Dental Care Plus during 2007, we had approximately 4,000 fully-insured indemnity members at
December 31, 2007. In addition, our fully-insured dental PPO membership increased by approximately 5,100 members, from approximately 1,000 members at December 31, 2006 to approximately 6,100 members at December 31, 2007.

Our self-insured dental HMO membership increased by approximately 21,800 members in 2007 primarily due to the conversion of 14,900
members of two employer groups from our fully-insured dental HMO product to our self-insured dental HMO product effective July 1, 2007. The remaining 6,900 member increase was the result of our adding a number of large new self-insured groups
in Southwestern Ohio and Northern Kentucky.

Corporate, All Other membership increased by approximately 700
members, or 4.3%, from approximately 16,100 members at December 31, 2006 to approximately 16,800 members at December 31, 2007. Dental indemnity membership underwritten by a third party insurance carrier decreased by approximately 2,900
members, or 78.4%, from approximately 3,700 members at December 31, 2006 to approximately 800 members as of December 31, 2007. This decrease is attributable to the shift of these dental indemnity members to a fully-insured product
underwritten by Dental Care Plus. Dental PPO membership underwritten by a third party insurance carrier increased by approximately 1,300 members, or 16.5%, from approximately 7,900 members at December 31, 2006 to approximately 9,200 members at
December 31, 2007. Fully-insured vision membership increased by approximately 2,400 members, or 53.3%, from approximately 4,500 members at December 31, 2006 to approximately 6,900 members at December 31, 2007.

Fully-insured dental premium increased approximately $1,972,000 in 2007.
Approximately $1.9 million of this premium revenue increase is attributable to net membership volume increases in the fully-insured dental product lines. New fully-insured sales resulted in an increase in fully-insured premium revenue of
approximately $4.8 million in 2007 that was offset by a decrease in fully-insured revenue of approximately $2.5 million due to the conversion of employer groups to the self-insured product line in 2007 and 2008 and a decrease of approximately
$368,000 in the Adenta fully-insured premium revenue. Approximately $61,000 of this premium revenue increase is associated with fully-insured dental premium rates during 2008.

Fully-insured dental HMO premium revenue increased approximately $838,000, or 2.2%, in 2007 as compared to 2006. Approximately $652,000 of this premium revenue increase is attributable to net
membership volume increases in the dental HMO product line. Approximately $554,000 of this premium revenue increase is associated with dental HMO premium rate increases negotiated with employer groups at their annual renewals. These increases were
offset by a decrease in Adenta premium revenue of approximately $368,000 during 2007 as the Adenta membership transferred to our dental PPO product or to another dental carrier. With the conversion of most of our dental indemnity membership to be
underwritten by Dental Care Plus during 2007, the majority of the dental indemnity product is now underwritten by Dental Care Plus. In 2007, our fully-insured dental indemnity premium was approximately $274,000. Our fully-insured dental PPO premium
revenue increased by $879,000, or 406.9%, from approximately $216,000 in 2006 to approximately $1,095,000 in 2007. The DCP fully-insured dental PPO was introduced in the third quarter of 2006. In 2006, the Company entered into a quota share group
dental reinsurance agreement with a third party insurance company. The third party insurance company has agreed to indemnify DCP relative to its share of the insurance risk. This group dental reinsurance agreement applies to certain group dental PPO
policies underwritten by DCP in our expansion markets. The fully-insured PPO premium revenue for the portion retained by DCP increased by approximately $860,000, from approximately $53,000 in 2006 to approximately $913,000 in 2007.

Total self-insured revenue increased approximately $6,283,000 in 2007. This increase is
attributable to the 34.9% increase in self-insured HMO membership, an increase in self-insured ASO fee rates and a provider fee schedule increase implemented at the beginning of 2007 that contributed to the 6.0% increase in self-insured claim
revenue on a per member per month basis. The self-insured segment revenue has two components:

Self-Insured Claim RevenueSelf-insured claim revenue increased approximately $5,970,000, or 46.8%, from approximately $12,754,000 in 2006 to approximately $18,724,000 in 2007. This increase is due to the 34.9% increase in
self-insured dental HMO membership along with a 6.0% increase in self-insured claim revenue on a per member per month basis in 2007 as compared to 2006.

Self-Insured ASO FeesSelf-insured ASO fees increased approximately $313,000, or 42.8%, from approximately $731,000 in 2006 to approximately $1,044,000 in 2007. These increases are
primarily attributable to the 34.9% increase in self-insured HMO membership and a significant increase in the average self-insured ASO fee rates. We provide administrative and claims processing services, benefit plan design, and access to our Dental
Care Plus provider network for an administrative fee, generally to self-insured groups. Our ASO fee revenue is recognized monthly when earned and is normally based on annual contracts with the self-insured groups.

Corporate, All Other premium revenue is derived from the non-DCP dental indemnity product, dental PPO product and vision product
underwritten by third party insurance carriers. In aggregate, Corporate, All Other premium revenue increased approximately $108,000 in 2007. During the first nine months of 2007, the dental indemnity product was underwritten by a third party
insurance carrier and we were paid a portion of its premium in the form of administrative fees that cover our related costs and broker commissions. These dental indemnity administrative fees were approximately $124,000 for the years ended
December 31, 2006 and 2007. Our other dental PPO product is underwritten by third party insurance carriers and we are paid a portion of its premium in the form of administrative fees that cover our related costs and broker commissions. These
dental PPO administrative fees increased by approximately $18,000, or 11.0%, from approximately $164,000 in 2006 to approximately $182,000 in 2007. In addition, our fully-insured vision product is underwritten by a third party insurance carrier and
we are paid a portion of its premium in the form of administrative fees that cover our related costs and broker commissions. These vision product administrative fees increased by approximately $65,000, or 66.3%, from approximately $98,000 in 2006 to
approximately $163,000 in 2007.

Investment Income

Investment income increased approximately $71,000, or 35.9%, from approximately $198,000 in 2006 to approximately $269,000 in 2007. This increase is primarily attributable to a shift of funds from short term to higher
yield long term investments, higher interest bearing cash balances, and an increase in prevailing interest rates during 2007.

Other Income

Other income decreased approximately $211,000, or 69.2% in 2007 as compared to 2006. Dental provider network leasing
revenue decreased approximately $185,000 in 2007 from approximately $213,000 in 2006 to approximately $28,000 in 2007 primarily due to the loss of the revenue associated with the Humana provider network lease with Adenta that was terminated in the
third quarter of 2006. Rental revenue earned from leasing a portion of the office building owned by our subsidiary Dental Care Plus decreased by approximately $34,000, or 37.0%, from approximately $92,000 in 2006 to approximately $58,000 in 2007 due
to a vacancy in a portion of the office building in 2007.

Fully-insured healthcare services expense increased approximately $1,019,000 in 2007.
Approximately $1.5 million of this healthcare service expense is attributable to net membership volume increases in the fully-insured dental product lines. New fully-insured sales resulted in an increase in fully-insured healthcare services expense
of approximately $3.8 million in 2007 that was offset by a decrease in fully-insured revenue of approximately $2.0 million due to the conversion of employer groups to the self-insured product line in 2007. The fully-insured healthcare services
expense attributable to the Adenta membership was approximately $245,000 for 2006. There was no healthcare services expense attributable to Adenta membership in the 2007. The increase in healthcare services expense due to net volume increases was
offset by a decrease in healthcare services expense of approximately $513,000 due to the shift of employer groups with higher than average healthcare services expense per member per month to the self-insured product.

Fully-insured dental HMO healthcare services expense decreased by approximately $58,000, or 0.2%, from approximately $30,178,000 in 2006
to approximately $30,236,000 in 2007. This decrease is primarily attributable to the 0.8 increase in fully-insured dental HMO member months in 2007 compared to 2006 and a slight decrease in utilization on a per member per month basis and a less
expensive mix of services provided in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to the shift of employer groups with higher than average healthcare services expense on a per-member-per-month basis out of the fully-insured product line. The fully-insured
Dental Care Plus dental indemnity product was introduced in the fourth quarter of 2007. The fully-insured Dental Care Plus dental indemnity healthcare services expense increased by approximately $243,000, from $0 in 2006 to approximately $243,000 in
2007. The fully-insured Dental Care Plus dental PPO product was introduced in the third quarter of 2006 and the fully-insured Dental Care Plus dental indemnity product was introduced in the fourth quarter of 2007. The fully-insured Dental Care Plus
dental PPO healthcare services expense for the portion of the risk retained by DCP increased by approximately $718,000, from approximately $40,000 in 2006 to approximately $758,000 in 2007.

Self-insured healthcare services expense increased approximately $5,108,000 in 2007. This increase is attributable to both the 34.9%
increase in self-insured dental HMO membership, the provider fee schedule increase implemented at the beginning of 2007, and the shift of the two employer groups with higher than average healthcare services expense on a per-member-per-month basis
into the self-insured product line.

Corporate, All Other healthcare services expense is not recognized by the Company due
to the fact that our other dental indemnity, dental PPO and vision PPO products are underwritten by third party insurance carriers.

Reinsurance

In the normal course of business, the Company ceded portions of its written premium revenue. As such, the Company limits
its loss exposure to that portion of the insurable risk that it retains. Dental insurance premium ceded was approximately $228,000 in 2007. The healthcare services expense ceded was approximately $189,000 in 2007. As of December 31, 2007 the
Company has approximately $26,500 of reinsurance recoverable and prepaid reinsurance premium net of reinsurance payable, which is included in accounts receivable.

Insurance Expenses

Consolidated insurance expenses increased approximately $1,369,000, or 13.9%, from
approximately $9,875,000 in 2006 to approximately $11,244,000 in 2007. Total insurance expenses as a percentage of total premium revenue, or the insurance expense ratio, was 18.8% for 2007, decreasing 30 basis points from the 2006 ratio of 19.1%.
Salaries and benefits increased by approximately $676,000 due to the addition of sales & marketing and provider relations staff for the expansion in the Dayton, Louisville and Lexington markets as well as additional operational and finance
staff to support our expanded activities. Commissions expense increased approximately $525,000 primarily due to the increases in membership. Depreciation and amortization expense for 2007 decreased approximately $211,000, or 34.2%, compared to 2006.
These decreases were due primarily to



31

##### Table of Contents

a decrease in the amortization of the identifiable assets acquired in the acquisition of Adenta after the write down of the intangible asset associated with
the Adenta network lease contract with Humana Dental in July of 2006. In 2007, board of directors expense increased approximately $180,000, or 52.3%, from approximately $344,000 in 2006 to approximately $524,000 in 2007 as a result of director
compensation increases and additional board committee meetings. Interest expense decreased $26,000, or 21.5%, from approximately $121,000 in 2006 to approximately $95,000 in 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the interest
expense associated with our capital lease and mortgage obligations as these obligations decreased. The remaining amount of approximately $225,000 is due to various operating expense increases in 2007 as compared to 2006.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate
for 2007 of 34.1% decreased 11.4% compared to the 45.5% effective tax rate in 2006. Our 2007 effective tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate due to a decrease in applicable state and local taxes, change in the FIN 48 liability due to
settlement of state income taxes and the elimination of certain non-deductible reorganization costs associated with acquiring the Dental Care Plus Life Insurance license that were no longer applicable during 2007. See Note 5 to the consolidated
financial statements included in Item 8- Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for a complete reconciliation of the federal statutory rate to the effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and changes in Financial Condition

Our primary
sources of cash are premiums, ASO fees, investment and other income, as well as the proceeds from the sale or maturity of our investment securities and from borrowings. Our primary uses of cash include disbursements for claims payments, selling,
general and administrative expenses, interest expense, taxes, purchases of investment securities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, redeemable common shares redemptions, and payments on borrowings. Because premiums are collected in advance of
claims payments, our business should normally produce positive cash flows during a period of increasing enrollment. Conversely, cash flows would be negatively impacted during a period of shrinking enrollment. Cash increased approximately $265,000,
or 11.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2008 to approximately $2.5 million at December 31, 2008 from approximately $2.3 million at December 31, 2007. Cash decreased approximately $2.9 million or 55.8%, to approximately $2.3 million
at December 31, 2007 from approximately $5.2 million at December 31, 2006. The change in cash for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Cash flow from Operating Activities

In 2008, we generated approximately $1,660,000 of cash in operating activities. This level of cash flow from operating activities is consistent with the cash flow generated from operating
activities in 2006. We realized net income of approximately $615,000. In addition to our 2008 net income, we recognized depreciation and amortization of approximately $446,000. With the conversion of our fully-insured employer group contracts to be
non-cancelable by the Company, there was an increase in unearned premium of approximately $20.9 million that was offset by an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $20.8 million. Other sources of cash include: an increase in deferred
income taxes, a decrease in accounts receivable, an increase in claims payable, an increase in accounts payable and other accrued expenses, an increase in deferred compensation and other minor changes to operating assets and liabilities totaling
approximately $1,701,000. These sources of operating cash were offset by an increase in deferred policy acquisition costs of approximately $1,196,000.

##### Table of Contents

In 2007, we used approximately $398,000 of cash in operating activities mainly due to the
reduction of our claims payable liability that resulted from the payment of the majority of our dental claims inventory at the end of 2007. We realized net income of approximately $604,000. In addition to our 2007 net income, we recognized
depreciation and amortization of approximately $405,000. Other sources of cash include: increases in our unearned premium, other payables and deferred compensation totaling approximately $598,000. These sources of operating cash were offset by a
decrease in our claims payable liability of approximately $1.5 million due to the payments to dental providers on December 31, 2007 that reduced our inventory of reported claims in process, increases in accounts receivable, accrued investment
income and other assets totaling approximately $339,000, and deferred income taxes of approximately $144,000.

In 2006, we
generated approximately $1.4 million of cash by operating activities and realized net income of approximately $103,000. In addition to our 2006 net income, we recognized depreciation and amortization of approximately $616,000. Other sources of cash
include: increases in our other assets, claims payables, other payables and deferred compensation totaling approximately $964,000. These sources of operating cash were offset by a decrease in our unearned premium revenue of approximately $132,000
and increases in accounts receivable, accrued investment income and deferred income taxes totaling approximately $152,000.

Cash flow from Investing
Activities

In 2008, we invested approximately $321,000 in building improvements, office equipment and computer
equipment and software. Our investment in a new telephone system represented approximately $133,000 of this amount. Also in 2008, approximately $18.9 million of our investments in FDIC insured certificates of deposit and money market funds either
matured or were liquidated to fund operations. We also invested approximately $20.2 million in additional FDIC insured certificates of deposit and money market funds.

In 2007, we invested approximately $137,000 in building improvements, office equipment and computer equipment. Also in 2007, approximately $18.0 million of our investments in FDIC insured
certificates of deposit and money market funds either matured or were liquidated to fund operations. We also invested approximately $20.2 million in additional FDIC insured certificates of deposit and money market funds.

In 2006, we invested approximately $160,000 in building improvements, office equipment and computer equipment. During 2006, we completed
the required net asset valuation analysis for the Adenta acquisition in 2005, and the Company and the representatives of the former Adenta shareholders negotiated an agreement whereby the former Adenta shareholders were paid an additional cash
consideration of $25,000. Also in 2006, approximately $3.1 million of our investments in FDIC insured certificates of deposit and money market funds either matured or were liquidated to fund operations. We also invested approximately $4.0 million in
addition FDIC insured certificates of deposit and money market funds.

Cash flow from Financing Activities

In 2008, we executed a revolving note with a commercial bank in the amount of $650,000 collateralized by a second mortgage on the office
building owned by Dental Care Plus, Inc. As of December 31, 2008, there was a principal balance outstanding of $630,000 related to this revolving note. In 2008, we paid $120,000 of our outstanding mortgage balance and approximately $224,000 in
capital lease payments for our dental administration software. During 2008, we repurchased redeemable common shares with a value of approximately $68,000, which was offset by the issuance of redeemable commons shares with a value of approximately
$28,000.

In 2007, we paid $120,000 of our outstanding mortgage balance, approximately $210,000 in capital lease payments
for our dental administration software, and approximately $55,000 of the principal balance of the Adenta debt assumed in 2005. During 2007, we repurchased redeemable common shares with a value of approximately $62,000, which was offset by the
issuance of redeemable commons shares with a value of approximately $266,000. There were no new financing commitments executed in 2007.

In 2006, we paid $120,000 of our outstanding mortgage balance, $198,000 in capital lease
payments for our dental administration software, and $95,000 of the principal balance of the Adenta debt assumed in 2005. During 2006, we repurchased redeemable common shares with a value of approximately $141,000, which was partially offset by the
issuance of redeemable commons shares with a value of approximately $35,000. There were no new financing commitments executed in 2006.

Our mortgage note matures in June 2013. The note requires us to make principal payments of $10,000 per month, and bears interest at a variable rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 1.75%. Our revolving note matures on
December 15, 2009 and requires us to make monthly interest payments at a variable rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 1.75%.

Provider Withhold Payments

In most cases, the fees of our participating providers for covered dental services under the dental HMO are subject to a
10% withhold by us. Accordingly, our dental HMO network providers are paid 90% of the agreed fees for covered services as set forth on applicable fee schedule. The amounts withheld are not retained in a separate fund and we have no obligation to pay
any portion of the amounts withheld to the providers. The dental providers have no vested rights in the amounts withheld unless our Board of Directors authorizes any amounts withheld to be paid to the providers, and then vesting is only to the
extent of such amounts authorized to be paid. Once authorized for payment by the Board, such amounts are recorded as claims payable liabilities until paid.

In December of each year our Board evaluates the projected pre-tax income of our dental HMO plans, capital and surplus requirements prescribed by the Ohio Department of Insurance and factors
impacting our A.M. Best financial strength rating, such as the ratio of our projected fully-insured premium revenue to our projected capital and surplus level. In addition, the Board considers the capital expenditures needed to support strategic
objectives for the coming years (such as the implementation of the new dental plan administration system, expansion of office space and acquisition of office equipment for new employees) and our estimated federal income tax liability. After
considering these and any other factors deemed relevant, the Board determines the amount of the provider withhold that may be paid to participating dental providers, if any. Each participating dental providers share of the provider withhold
payment is based on the proportionate amount of claims submitted by such participating dental provider in relation to the total claims submitted by all participating dental providers in a given year, expressed as a percentage, and is not related to
or dependent upon any such providers holdings of shares in the Company. Payments authorized by the Board are accrued in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. The Board authorized amounts of return of withhold amounting to $464,000, $650,000
and $900,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Based on historical experience, the
Board may authorize an aggregate provider withhold payment between 0% and 45% of the approximate $5.3 million provider withhold expected for 2009, or a maximum of $2.4 million. We also expect that the Board may authorize aggregate provider withhold
payments for calendar years 2010 through 2012 in amounts between 0% and 45% of the total provider withhold amounts for those years and that the level of provider withhold payments for 2010 through 2012 could be greater than 45% depending upon the
Companys performance. However, the Board will not authorize an aggregate provider withhold payment for any year that would result in an operating loss for the year in review. These forecasted amounts are based on projections of future claims
revenues and certain planning assumptions and estimates currently being made with respect to future application of the factors historically considered by the Board in making its determination to authorize the payment of withhold amounts. These
planning assumptions reflect managements current expectations and views about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual withhold payment amounts to differ materially from these stated
assumptions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those being planned for, include, among others: claims exceeding or not meeting our estimates, a threatened or actual downgrade in our financial strength
rating, the loss of a significant customer or broker, the loss of a large employer group and an unexpected increase or decrease in dental service utilization by our dental members.

|(1) | Our swap interest payments are based on a fixed rate of 4.95%. We estimate that we will receive swap interest payments totaling approximately $82,000 based on a
variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% or 3.19%, as of December 31, 2008.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Off-balance sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2008, future approximate minimum annual lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:
2009$175,000; 2010$151,000, and 2011$34,000.

Financial Condition

Our consolidated cash and short term investments were approximately $8.2 million at December 31, 2008. Our consolidated cash and
short term investments increased by approximately $1,800,000 from approximately $6.4 million as of December 31, 2007.

This increase in cash and short term investments from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008 is primarily due to the cash generated by operating activities of $1,660,000 and the net cash generated by financing activities of
$247,000, offset by the cash invested in property, plant and equipment of $321,000. In addition to this increase in cash and short term investments of approximately $1.6 million, there was a shift of approximately $200,000 in FDIC insured
certificate of deposit investment from long term investments to short term investments during this period.

On
January 3, 2006 we entered into an agreement with a commercial bank for a $500,000 working capital line of credit. Interest was payable based on the prime borrowing rate of 3.25% at December 31, 2008. The Company did not have any interest
expense for the line of credit in 2008 or 2007. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007 there was no amount outstanding on the line of credit.

On December 18, 2008, we executed a revolving note with a commercial bank in the amount of $650,000 collateralized by a second mortgage on the office building owned by Dental Care Plus, Inc. As of
December 31, 2008, there was a principal balance outstanding of $630,000 related to this revolving note. This revolving note matures on December 15, 2009, is annually renewable and requires us to make monthly interest payments at a
variable rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 1.75%.

Together our cash, short term investments and working capital lines of credit we
believe are sufficient to meet our short term and long term liquidity needs. In the short term, we are obligated to make payments related to our contractual obligations such as our building mortgage, computer system capital lease, and our operating
leases and other commitments (see contractual obligations and other commitments). In the long term, we will continue to be obligated to make payments related to our contractual obligations delineated above. We will also be obligated in certain
circumstances to repurchase the redeemable shares of our provider shareholders who die,

are permanently disabled, or retire. Our Board of Directors establishes limitations on the amount of share redemptions each year. While we are not able to
estimate future redeemable common share redemptions, we repurchased approximately $68,000, $62,000, and $141,000 of redeemable common shares in the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We believe our cash balances,
investment securities, operating cash flows, and borrowing capacity, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating and regulatory requirements and fund future expansion opportunities and capital expenditures in the foreseeable
future.

We operate as a holding company in a highly regulated industry. We are primarily dependent upon management fees
that we receive from our subsidiaries. We receive over 94% of our management fees from our subsidiary Dental Care Plus. We also receive dividends from our subsidiaries from time to time. The dividends from our subsidiary, Dental Care Plus, are
subject to regulatory restrictions.

Regulatory RBC Requirements

Our largest subsidiary, Dental Care Plus operates in states that regulate its payment of dividends and debt service on inter-company loans, as well as other inter-company cash transfers and
require minimum levels of equity as well as limit investments to approved securities. The amount of dividends that may be paid by Dental Care Plus, without prior approval by state regulatory authorities, is limited based on statutory income and
statutory capital and surplus. Prior notification must be provided to state agencies in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana before paying a dividend even if approval is not required.

On December 18, 2006, the Ohio Department of Insurance approved Dental Care Plus, Inc.s application for a life and health insurance license. As an Ohio-domiciled insurance company
dually licensed as a life and health insurer and a specialty health insuring corporation, Dental Care Plus is now able to underwrite dental indemnity, dental PPO, dental HMO, and vision benefit products as well as other life and health oriented
products in Ohio. Accordingly, the required capital and surplus for Dental Care Plus licensed as a life and health insurance company in Ohio was $2.5 million at December 31, 2008.

We maintained aggregate statutory capital and surplus of approximately $5.2 million as of December 31, 2008 and were in compliance
with applicable statutory requirements. Although the minimum required levels of equity are largely based on premium volume, product mix, and the quality of assets held, minimum requirements can vary significantly from state to state. Given our
anticipated premium growth in 2009 resulting from the expansion of our networks and membership, capital requirements will increase. We expect to fund these increased requirements through the retention of earnings, investment in Dental Care Plus of
the earnings of other subsidiaries and capital raised in future redeemable common and preferred share offerings.

Most
states rely on risk-based capital requirements, or RBC, to define the required levels of equity. RBC is a model developed by the NAIC to monitor an entitys solvency. This calculation indicates recommended minimum levels of required capital and
surplus and signals regulatory measures should actual surplus fall below these recommended levels. RBC has been adopted by Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, the three states in which we currently do business. We file our annual statement and RBC reporting
with the Ohio Department of Insurance and the NAIC.

Other Matters

The differences between our net income and comprehensive income include the changes in the unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities and changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement. For the
years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, such changes increased or (decreased), net of related income tax effects, by the following amounts:

The fair market value of the variable to fixed interest rate swap contract (net of
income tax effects) decreased by $42,885 in the year ended December 31, 2008 due to a decrease in prevailing interest rates during 2008. The fair market value of the variable to fixed interest rate swap contract (net of income tax effects)
decreased by $30,096 in the year ended December 31, 2007 due to a decrease in prevailing interest rates during 2007. The fair market value of the variable to fixed interest rate swap contract (net of income tax effects) decreased by $3,953 in
year ended December 31, 2006 due to a decrease in expected future interest rates during 2006. The fair market value of the variable to fixed interest rate swap contract was a liability of $37,969 and is included in other payables and accruals
at December 31, 2008. The fair market value of the variable to fixed interest rate swap contract was an asset of $27,009 and $72,609 and is included in other assets at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Application of those accounting principles includes the use of estimates and assumptions that are made by
management, and that we believe are reasonable based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We
believe the most critical accounting policies used to prepare the accompanying consolidated financial statements are the following:

Investments

We have classified all of our investments as available-for-sale.
Accordingly, investments are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices, and unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, are reported in a separate caption of stockholders equity. We invest our excess cash in FDIC
insured bank certificates of deposit and U.S. government security money market funds. Each certificate of deposit with an original cost of $100,000 is invested with a separate FDIC-insured financial institution. The quoted market prices of these
certificates of deposit are the amounts we would receive if we liquidated them prior to maturity. We follow a consistent and systematic process for recognizing impairments on securities that sustain other-than-temporary declines in value. The
decision to impair a security incorporates both quantitative criteria and qualitative information. The impairment review process considers a number of factors including, but not limited to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value
has been less than cost, our intent and ability to retain impaired investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in value, and general market conditions. As of December 31, 2008, there were no
other-than-temporary impairments. In the event there was an unrealized loss on an investment that we believed to be other-than-temporary, the loss would be reported in the consolidated statement of operations, instead of in a separate caption of
stockholders equity. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any
significant risks with respect to its cash.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent uncollected premiums related to coverage periods prior to the balance sheet date, and are stated at the estimated collectible amounts, net of an allowance for bad
debts. We regularly monitor the timing and amount of our premium collections, and maintain a reserve for estimated bad debt losses. The amount of the reserve is based primarily on our historical experience and any customer-specific collection issues
that are identified.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill arises in business combinations when the purchase price of assets acquired exceeds the appraised value. As with tangible and
other intangible assets, periodic impairment reviews are required, at least annually, as well as when events or circumstances change. Management uses judgment in assessing goodwill for impairment. We review the recorded value of our goodwill
annually or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may exceed fair value. The review for impairment requires management to predict the estimated cash flows that will be generated by the long-lived asset over
its remaining estimated useful life. Considerable judgment must be exercised in determining future cash flows and their timing and choosing business value comparables or selecting discount rates to be used in any value computations.

Business acquisitions often result in recording intangible assets. Intangible assets are recognized at the time of an acquisition, based
upon their fair value. Similar to long-lived tangible assets, our intangible assets are subject to amortization and periodic impairment reviews whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. As with tangible assets, considerable judgment must be exercised.

Liability for Claims Payable

Our estimated liability for claims payable and corresponding healthcare service expense includes claims incurred but not
reported (IBNR), claims reported but not yet processed and paid and other healthcare services expenses incurred, including estimated costs of processing outstanding claims and actual amounts of accrued but unpaid payments in respect of
our Dental Care Plus provider withhold which have been authorized by our Board of Directors. Our estimated liability for claims payable is based primarily on the average historical lag time between the date of service and the date the related claim
is paid, taking into account recent trends in payment rates and the average number of incurred claims per covered individual in the most recent 12 month period.

The following table shows our total claims payable liability for the periods indicated and its three components. IBNR represents a substantial portion of our claims payable liability.

At December 31, 2008, our estimated total claims payable liability included
approximately $2.6 million for Dental Care Plus, comprised of IBNR of approximately $1.4 million and reported claims in process of approximately $718,000. Other healthcare services expenses at December 31, 2008 included approximately $56,000
for the estimated cost of processing outstanding claims and an accrued but unpaid provider withhold payment of $464,000. The provider withhold liability was recognized in December 2008 when it was authorized by our Board of Directors.

At December 31, 2007, our estimated total claims payable liability included approximately $2.5 million for Dental Care Plus,
comprised of IBNR of approximately $1.2 million and reported claims in process of

approximately $610,000. Other healthcare services expenses at December 31, 2007 included approximately $45,000 for the estimated cost of processing
outstanding claims and an accrued but unpaid provider withhold payment of $650,000. The provider withhold liability was recognized in December 2007 when it was authorized by our Board of Directors.

Between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, our IBNR estimate increased by approximately $207,000 or 17.5%, primarily due
to a fully-insured membership increase of 7.7%, an increase in healthcare services expense in 2008 on a per member per month basis and an increase in the portion of fully-insured membership represented by fully-insured dental indemnity membership in
2008. Reported claims in process increased by approximately $108,000, or 17.7%, from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008 due to an increase in the number of days of reported claims in process from 4 days at December 31, 2007 to 5
days at December 31, 2008. The number of days of reported claims in process at year end varies with the timing of our weekly provider claim payment cycle. Other healthcare services expense payable decreased by approximately $175,000, primarily
due to the fact that the unpaid provider withhold payment of $464,000 at December 31, 2008 that was authorized by our Board of Directors in December of 2008 was $186,000 less than the comparable unpaid provider withhold amount of $650,000 at
December 31, 2007.

IBNR and Reported Claims in Process Estimates

We estimate liabilities for both IBNR and reported claims in process by employing actuarial methods that are commonly used by health
insurance actuaries and meet actuarial standards of practice. These actuarial standards of practice require that claim liabilities estimates be adequate under moderately adverse circumstances. The Companys consulting actuary assists us in
making these estimates.

Since our liability for claims payable is based on actuarial estimates, the amount of claims
eventually paid for services provided prior to the balance sheet date could differ from the estimated liability. Any such differences are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the period in which the differences are identified.

We develop our estimate for claims payable liability using actuarial methodologies and assumptions, primarily based on
historical claim payments and claim receipt patterns, as well as historical dental cost trends. Depending on the period for which incurred claims are estimated, we apply a different method in determining our estimate. For periods prior to the most
recent month, we calculate a completion factor which indicates the percentage of claims payable estimated for a prior period that have been paid as of the end of the current reporting period. We use the completion factor to determine
historical patterns over a rolling 12-month period, made consistent period over period by making adjustments for known changes in claim inventory levels and known changes in claim payment processes. For the most recent month, we calculate a
claims trend factor that estimates incurred claims primarily from a trend analysis based upon per member per month claims trends developed from our historical experience in the preceding months, adjusted for known provider contracting
changes, changes in benefit levels and seasonality.

We have not changed the key actuarial methodologies and assumptions
used by management to estimate the IBNR and reported claims in process components of our claims payable liability during the periods presented, and management has not adjusted any of the key methodologies and assumptions used in calculating the most
recent estimate of the IBNR and reported claims in process components of our claims payable liability.

The table set forth below illustrates how our operating results are impacted when there
is a variance between estimated claims expense and actual claims expense. The table shows the sensitivity of the estimated fully-insured incurred claims payable liability to fluctuations in the expected completion factors and claims trend factors

Based on historical experience, the completion factors we use
to estimate outstanding IBNR and reported claims in process are highly reliable for predicting actual claims paid at future times, with a variance range of approximately one-half of one percent, plus or minus. The claims trend factors we use to
estimate outstanding IBNR and reported claims in process for the most recent month are somewhat less reliable based on historical experience, with a variance range of approximately two percent, plus or minus. We have found that the estimated claims
trend factor can be higher or lower than what the paid claims data indicates with the passage of time primarily because of factors beyond our control, such as the level of utilization of services by dental members and the expected and actual mix of
the types of services received by dental members.

Provider Withhold Payments

We do not estimate an accrued liability on a quarterly basis for provider withhold payments because we have no obligation to pay any
portion of the amount withheld to the providers and providers have no vested rights in the amounts withheld unless our Board of Directors authorizes a payment to them. Our Board makes a decision annually in December as to whether or not to authorize
any payment in respect of the withhold amount for the current year at which time the Company records a liability for the authorized withhold amount. Given the uncertainties associated with the factors considered by the Board and the discretionary
nature of these payments, we are not able to estimate the liability for provider withhold payments prior to Board authorization. The actual amount authorized by our Board for payment to the providers is added to the accrued liability for claims
payable in the month the authorization occurs.

The amount of the annual provider withhold payment authorized by our
Board varies from year to year depending on, among other factors deemed relevant from time to time, the amount of pre-tax income projected for the year then ending, our estimated income tax liability for the year, the amount of retained earnings
needed to satisfy the risk-based capital requirements of the Ohio Department of Insurance, factors impacting our financial strength rating with A.M. Best, such as the ratio of our projected fully-insured premium revenue to our projected capital and
surplus level, and the amount of capital needed for anticipated future capital expenditures.

The annual provider withhold
payment authorized by the Board is recorded in December of the applicable year, resulting in a corresponding increase of claims expense and claims payable liability. Depending on the amount of the provider withhold payment authorized, there may be a
material increase in the claims payable liability at year end. At December 31, 2008, our claims payable liability increased by approximately 21% after

recording the $464,000 provider withhold payment authorized by the Board. Safeguarding the financial condition and liquidity of the Company is a material
factor considered in the provider withhold payment practices adopted by the Board.

Deferred Acquisition Costs

Deferred acquisition costs are those costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new and renewal business. Such
costs include commissions, costs of contract issuance and underwriting, premium taxes and other costs the Company incurs to acquire new business or renew existing business. Effective May 1, 2008, the Company defers acquisition costs and
amortizes them over the estimated life of the contracts in proportion to premiums earned. The Company capitalized deferred acquisition costs of approximately $2,632,000 and amortized approximately $1,436,000 of these capitalized costs for the year
ended December 31, 2008. These amounts are recorded in commission expense and other acquisition costs included in the consolidated statements of operations. Prior to the dates of the amendment of our contracts to be non-cancelable, all costs
were expensed as incurred.

Redeemable Common Shares

The Companys Class A and Class B redeemable common shares are owned by participating providers and Company directors. Only participating providers in our service area that includes all
counties located in Ohio and Kentucky are eligible to own Class A voting redeemable common shares (See Note 9). All participating providers, Company directors and Company employees are eligible to own the Class B non-voting redeemable common
shares. To comply with the requirements of EITF D-98, the Companys Class A and Class B common shares are considered to be redeemable common shares due to the fact that the shareholders have the option to require the Company to repurchase
these shares upon their death, permanent disability or retirement. The Company records Class A and Class B common shares as Redeemable Common Shares in the consolidated balance sheet outside of permanent shareholders equity at the
redemption value of the common shares. Accordingly, the Company records any net income (loss) or other comprehensive income (loss) that formerly was recorded as a change to Shareholders Equity as a change to the redemption value of the
Redeemable Common Shares to accrete the carrying value of the Redeemable Common Shares to the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Under this method, the end of the reporting period is treated as if it were also the redemption
date for the security.

Recognition of Premium Revenue

Premium revenue is recognized in the period during which dental or vision coverage is provided to the covered individuals. Payments
received from customers in advance of the related period of coverage are reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as unearned premium revenue. The Companys unearned premium revenue was approximately $20,845,000 at
December 31, 2008 for the estimated premium revenue associated with the remaining contract periods and related amounts recorded in unbilled accounts receivable.

Healthcare Services Expense

Healthcare services expense is recognized on a
monthly basis. In the case of the fully-insured dental HMO segment, healthcare services expense is calculated by taking the paid claims associated with the fully-insured membership and adjusting this amount for the change in the claims payable
liability determined using the actuarial estimates discussed above. For the self-insured dental HMO segment, the healthcare services expense is based solely on the paid claims for the self-insured membership. We deduct a provider withhold from the
claim payments to providers equal to 10% of the allowed amount according to the provider fee schedule. At the end of each year, our Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, how much if any of the provider withhold can be paid out to
participating providers. Provider withhold payments authorized by our Board during the fiscal year

##### Table of Contents

are recorded as an increase to healthcare services expense. Based on our 2008 operating results, a 1% increase in dental services utilization above the
anticipated level would translate into an increase in our claims payable liability of approximately $313,000.

Income Taxes

Our accounting for income taxes is in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that are recognized in our financial statements in different
periods than those in which the events are recognized in our tax returns. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on current tax laws as of the balance sheet date. We record a valuation allowance related to deferred tax
assets in the event that available evidence indicates that the future tax benefits related to deferred tax assets may not be realized. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. Our determination of whether a valuation allowance is required is subject to change based on future estimates of the recoverability of our net deferred tax assets.

Effective January 1, 2007 the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 is an interpretation of
SFAS No. 109. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

New Accounting Standards

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) changes the accounting for
business combinations, including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for preacquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of
capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition-related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirers income tax valuation
allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for certain tax
adjustments for prior business combinations. Currently, the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of
ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including the requirement to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated
stockholders equity, and the elimination of minority interest accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS 160 revises the
accounting for both increases and decreases in a parents controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 160
will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) No. 157-2, which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. This FSP delayed the effective date to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. However, this scope exception does

not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that are required to be measured at fair value under SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations or SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. As disclosed in Note 19, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. Currently, the adoption of SFAS No. 157-2 does not have
an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities regarding the impact on financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement encourages but does not require comparative disclosures for earlier periods upon initial adoption. The effective date of SFAS 161 is the Companys fiscal year beginning on or after
January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 will not have a material impact on the Companys disclosures.

In April, 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3,Determination of the Useful Lives of Intangible Assets. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to
determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. This FSP is effective for consolidated financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is
prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 142-3 will not have a material impact on the Companys useful lives of intangible assets.

Impact of
Inflation

We do not consider the impact of the changes in prices due to inflation to be material in the analysis of
our overall operations.



|ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Market risk is the risk that we will incur investment losses or increased interest expense due to adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposures are substantially related to our investment
portfolio and the impact of interest rate changes on these securities. In addition, interest rate changes can impact future interest expense for debt obligations that have a variable rate of interest associated with them.

At December 31, 2008, our investment portfolio consisted solely of FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit and U.S. government
security mutual funds. We have evaluated the impact on the fixed maturity portfolios fair value considering an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would result in an approximate
$14,077 decrease in fair value, whereas a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would result in an approximate $13,038 increase in fair value. The certificates of deposit with a cost of $1.9 million December 31, 2008 are all classified as
available for sale.

At December 31, 2008, we had a mortgage note with a bank with an outstanding principal balance of
$1,140,000 with a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 1.75%. However, in June of 2003 we entered into a variable to fixed interest rate swap contract that effectively eliminated the interest rate risk exposure on all but $300,000 of the outstanding
loan principal. Management estimates that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease our annual pre-tax earnings by $3,000.

At December 31, 2008, we had a revolving note collateralized by a second mortgage with a bank with an outstanding principal balance of $630,000 with a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 1.75%. Management estimates
that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease our annual pre-tax earnings by $6,300.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DCP Holding Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DCP Holding Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and redeemable common shares, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedules included in Item 15(a)2. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements
taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 6, the Company adopted
the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007 AND FOR EACH OF THE THREE YEARS IN THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

1. GENERAL
INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DCP Holding Company (the Company) is the parent
holding company of three wholly-owned subsidiaries which include Dental Care Plus, Inc., or Dental Care Plus, an Ohio corporation, Insurance Associates Plus, Inc., or Insurance Associates, an Ohio corporation, and Adenta, Inc., or Adenta, a Kentucky
corporation. The Company is owned and controlled primarily by 630 dentists who participate in our Dental Care Plus plans. The Company offers to employer groups of all sizes health maintenance organization (HMO), participating provider
organization (PPO) and indemnity plans for dental care services. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately 256,700 members in its dental benefits programs with 2,206 dentists participating in its two provider networks
in Southwestern Ohio, Northern Kentucky, Central Kentucky and Southeastern Indiana. In addition, the Company had approximately 11,200 members in its vision benefit programs. The Company markets its products through a network of independent brokers.

The Companys products consist primarily of dental HMO, PPO and indemnity plans, with dental HMO products
constituting 93% of its total revenues. All of the Companys products are marketed to employer groups. The Companys business model allows it to offer dental benefit products including broad networks of participating dentists while at the
same time promoting the use of private practice fee-for-service dentistry, a primary interest of the Companys participating dentists. The dental benefit products the Company offers currently vary depending on geographic market.

As an Ohio-domiciled insurance company dually licensed as a life and health insurer and a specialty health insuring corporation, Dental
Care Plus is able to underwrite dental indemnity, dental PPO, dental HMO, and vision benefit products as well as other life and health oriented products. As of October 1, 2007, the Company transitioned the majority of its employer groups with
dental indemnity products underwritten by a third party insurance carrier to dental indemnity products underwritten by Dental Care Plus. As of June 1, 2008, the Company transitioned the majority of its employer groups with dental PPO products
underwritten by a third party insurance carrier to dental PPO products underwritten by Dental Care Plus.

The accounting
policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accompanying financial statements include estimates for items such as claims payable, deferred acquisition costs,
income taxes and various other liability accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Policies that affect the more significant elements of the financial statements are summarized below.

Basis of PresentationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
subsidiaries, each of which is wholly-owned, and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation. The Company presents its financial statements to conform with Article 7 of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X pursuant to Section 13-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With the amendment of its
fully-insured customer contracts to be non-cancelable by the Company, the Company meets the criteria of an insurance company as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company defines cash as cash held in operating accounts at financial institutions. The Company considers highly liquid investments with maturities
of three months or less at the date of acquisition as cash equivalents in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

DCP HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)



InvestmentsThe Company places its investments primarily in
certificates of deposit and a money market mutual fund. The Company classified all investments as available-for-sale. Such investments are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a component of other comprehensive
income. The Company recognizes gains and losses when these securities mature or are sold using the specific identification method. Management follows a consistent and systematic process for recognizing impairments on securities that sustain
other-than-temporary declines in value. The decision to impair a security incorporates both quantitative criteria and qualitative information. The impairment review process considers a number of factors including, but not limited to the length of
time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the Companys intent and ability to retain impaired investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in value, and general market conditions.

Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The building and the building improvements have useful lives of 27 years and 15 years, respectively. Furniture and fixtures have a useful life
of 5 years, and computer equipment and software have useful lives of up to 3 years. Maintenance and repair cost are expensed as incurred.

The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as significant decreases in market values of assets, changes in legal factors or in the business climate, and
accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected to acquire or construct an asset, or other such factors indicated that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

State Guarantee Fund DepositsThe Company maintains funds on deposit with state insurance departments in those states
where the Company is licensed to do business. These funds amounted to approximately $298,000 and $277,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These funds are restricted and not available to the Company for normal operations and are
included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill and Intangible
AssetsGoodwill arises in business combinations when the purchase price of net assets acquired exceeds the appraised value. As with tangible and other intangible assets, periodic impairment reviews are required, at least annually, as
well as when events or circumstances change. Management uses judgment in assessing goodwill for impairment. Management reviews the recorded value of our goodwill annually, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may exceed fair value. The review for impairment requires management to predict the estimated cash flows that will be generated by the long-lived asset over its remaining estimated useful life. Considerable judgment must be exercised in
determining future cash flows and their timing and choosing business value comparables or selecting discount rates to be used in any value computations.

Business acquisitions often result in recording identifiable intangible assets. Identifiable intangible assets are recognized at the time of an acquisition, based upon their fair value. Similar to long-lived tangible
assets, the Companys identifiable intangible assets are subject to amortization and periodic impairment reviews whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. As with tangible
assets, considerable judgment must be exercised.

Deferred Acquisition CostsDeferred acquisition costs
are those costs that vary with and are primarily related to the acquisition of new and renewal business. Such costs include commissions, costs of contract issuance and underwriting, premium taxes and other costs the Company incurs to acquire new
business or renew existing business. Effective May 1, 2008, the Company defers policy acquisition costs and amortizes them over the estimated life of the contracts, which are generally short-duration in nature, in proportion to premiums

earned. The Company capitalized deferred acquisition costs of approximately $2,632,000 and amortized approximately $1,436,000 of these capitalized costs for
the year ended December 31, 2008. These amounts are recorded in commission expense and other acquisition costs included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to the dates of the amendment of our contracts to be non-cancelable, all
costs were expensed as incurred.

Redeemable Common SharesThe Companys Class A and Class B
redeemable common shares are owned by participating providers and Company directors. Only participating providers in our service area that includes all counties located in Ohio and Kentucky are eligible to own Class A voting redeemable common
shares (See Note 10). All participating providers, Company directors and Company employees are eligible to own the Class B non-voting redeemable common shares. To comply with the requirements of EITF D-98, the Companys Class A and Class B
common shares are considered to be redeemable common shares due to the fact that the shareholders have the option to require the Company to repurchase these shares upon their death, permanent disability or retirement. The Company records
Class A and Class B common shares as Redeemable Common Shares in the consolidated balance sheets outside of shareholders equity at the redemption value of the common shares. Accordingly, the Company records any net income (loss) or other
comprehensive income (loss) as a change to the redemption value of the Redeemable Common Shares to accrete the carrying value of the Redeemable Common Shares to the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Under this method, the
end of the reporting period is treated as if it were also the redemption date for the security.

Premium Revenue

Fully-InsuredMembership contracts are written on an annual basis and are subject to cancellation by the
employer group upon thirty days written notice. The Company amended its fully-insured dental HMO contracts and dental indemnity contracts to be non-cancelable by the Company effective May 1, 2008 and its fully-insured dental PPO contracts to be
non-cancelable by the Company effective June 1, 2008. The Companys unearned premium revenue was approximately $20,845,000 at December 31, 2008 for the estimated premium revenue associated with the remaining contract periods and
related amounts recorded in unbilled accounts receivable. Premiums are due monthly in advance and are recognized evenly as revenue during the period in which the Company is obligated to provide services to members. Any amounts not received by the
end of a reporting period are recorded as accounts receivable by the Company. Any premiums received prior to the beginning of a reporting period are recognized as premiums received in advance and are included in unearned premium revenue in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Premiums received in advance were approximately $761,000 and $666,000 at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Management has determined that as of December 31, 2008 and 2007
that no premium deficiency reserve is required.

Self-InsuredThe Company provides administrative and claims
processing services, benefit plan design, and access to its provider networks for an administrative fee, generally to self-insured groups. Self-insured premium revenue is based on the claims incurred by self-insured members in accordance
with agreements with self-insured employers. The Company has no underwriting risk arising from the provision or cost of any services provided to the self-insured groups. Consistent with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-19, Recording Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent, the Company recognizes and records self-insured premiums on a gross basis because: (i) the
Company is the primary obligor in the contractual relationship, (ii) the Company establishes the pricing for the services provided, (iii) the Company controls the relationship with the dental service providers, and (iv) the Company
has credit risk in these contractual relationships. Self-insured premium revenue is recorded when the self-insured claims are incurred and is included in premium revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)



Third-party administration fee revenue (ASO fees) is recognized monthly
when earned and is normally based on annual contracts with the self-insured groups. ASO fees are charged to self-insured employer groups monthly on a per subscriber per month basis. ASO fees also include the administrative fees the Company earns
relative to the dental PPO, dental indemnity and vision products that are underwritten by third-party insurance carriers.

Investment IncomeInvestment income of approximately $223,000, $269,000, and $198,000 during 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, is comprised of approximately $122,000, $175,000, and $73,000 of interest income earned from
money market accounts and cash in operating accounts in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and approximately $101,000, $94,000, and $125,000 of investment income earned from short-term and long-term in certificates of deposit in 2008, 2007, and
2006, respectively.

Other IncomeOther income is comprised primarily of rental income from the rental
of space in the building owned and partially occupied by the Company (See Note 14) as well as revenues earned from the leasing of the Companys dental provider network to other dental benefit providers.

Healthcare Service ExpenseThe Company compensates its providers based on agreed-upon fees for various services. With
respect to the dental HMO product, the Company generally retains 10% of these fees (including payments on self-insured claims) in accordance with the Companys provider agreement. Healthcare service expense is recorded net of any amounts
withheld in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Under the terms of the Companys provider agreement, the Company is not obligated to return to providers any amounts withheld. Withheld amounts are retained by the Company but
not reserved or retained in a separate fund. Participating providers have no interest in the amounts withheld unless the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) authorizes any amount to be paid to the providers.

The cost of healthcare services provided to members is accrued in the period such services are provided based on the accumulation of
estimates of claims reported prior to the end of a reporting period and of estimates of dental services provided but not reported to the Company, net of the amounts withheld in accordance with the provider agreement.

Managements estimates of dental services provided are based on the Companys historical experience and current trends, with
assistance from the Companys consulting actuary. Estimated dental claims payable are reviewed monthly by management and are adjusted based on current information, actual paid claims data, dental utilization statistics and other pertinent
information. However, final claim payments may differ from the established reserves. Any resulting adjustments are reflected in current operations.

The Company incurred claim costs related to dental care providers amounting to approximately $53,590,000, $48,153,000, and $42,026,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. These
costs include approximately $41,666,000, $38,941,000, and $36,972,000 of claims incurred by participating providers who are also holders of redeemable common shares in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. These incurred claim costs also include
provider withhold return expense of $464,000, $650,000, and $900,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Each year the
Board evaluates the performance of the dental HMO plan, capital and surplus requirements prescribed by the Ohio Department of Insurance, factors impacting the Companys financial strength rating, funding needed to support strategic objectives
for the coming years and any other factors deemed relevant by the Board and, based on that evaluation, determines whether or not to authorize the payment to the providers of any portion of the provider withhold. Once authorized by the Board, such
amounts are recorded as additional healthcare services expense in the period authorized and shown as additional claims payable liability until paid.

ReinsuranceIn the normal course of business, the Company cedes
portions of its written premium revenue. As such, the Company limits its loss exposure to that portion of the insurable risk that it retains. However, if a reinsurer fails to honor its obligations, the Company could suffer additional losses as the
reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company of its obligations to policyholders. The Company terminated its reinsurance contracts effective May 31, 2008. Dental insurance premiums ceded were approximately $121,000, $228,000 and $13,000 for
the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The healthcare services expense ceded was approximately $106,000, $189,000 and $10,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company has
approximately $5,000 and $26,500 of reinsurance recoverable and prepaid reinsurance premium net of reinsurance payable as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Derivative InstrumentsAll derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as
cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, as a component of the consolidated balance sheet, with subsequent reclassification to earnings when the hedged transaction asset or liability impacts earnings. Any
ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings immediately.

Federal Income TaxDeferred federal income tax
is provided in the accompanying financial statements for the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying values and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Differences result primarily from items such as loss reserve discounting,
unrealized gains or losses on invested assets and partial recognition of the unearned premiums.

The Company continually
reviews the deferred tax assets to determine the necessity of a valuation allowance. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return which includes all subsidiaries.

Effective January 1, 2007 the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 is an interpretation of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements
in accordance with SFAS No. 109. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This
Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

Earnings Per ShareBasic and diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income on redeemable common shares by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period.

Concentrations of Credit RiskFinancial instruments which potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of premiums receivable. Other than as discussed below, concentrations of credit risk with respect to premiums receivable are limited because of the large number of employer
groups comprising the Companys client base and contracts are cancelled if premiums are not paid within 90 days.

During 2008, 2007, and 2006, four fully-insured customers accounted for approximately 9%, 14%, and 20%, respectively, of the Companys total revenue. Additionally, two self-insured customers accounted for approximately 13%, 16%, and
17% of the Companys total revenue at December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. As of January 1, 2009, one self-insured employer group that represented approximately 6% of the Companys total revenue in 2008 elected not to
renew its contract with the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(CONTINUED)



At December 31, 2008, premiums receivable from two customers totaled
approximately 23% of the premiums receivable balance. At December 31, 2007, premiums receivable from one customer totaled approximately 21% of the premiums receivable balance.

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced
any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risks with respect to its cash.

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsCertain financial instruments are required to be recorded at fair value. The estimated fair values of such financial instruments have been determined using market information and
valuation methodologies, primarily discounted cash flow analysis. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates. However, we do not believe any such changes would have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

New Accounting StandardsIn December 2007, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) changes the accounting for business combinations, including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition
of contingent consideration, the accounting for preacquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of
acquisition-related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirers income tax valuation allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for certain tax adjustments for prior business combinations. Currently, the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will not have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including
the requirement to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders equity, and the elimination of minority interest accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling
interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parents controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSP) No. 157-2, which delayed the effective date of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a
nonrecurring basis. This FSP delayed the effective date to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. However, this scope exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that are required to be
measured at fair value under SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations or SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. As disclosed in Note 19, the Company adopted SFAS No. effective January 1, 2008. Currently, the
adoption of SFAS No. 157-2 does not have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities
regarding the impact on financial position, financial performance, and cash

flows. This statement encourages but does not require comparative disclosures for earlier periods upon initial adoption. The effective date of SFAS 161 is
the Companys fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 will not have a material impact on the Companys disclosures.

In April, 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3,Determination of the Useful Lives of Intangible Assets. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful
life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. This FSP is effective for consolidated financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of SFAS No. 142-3 will not have a material impact on the Companys useful lives of intangible assets.

2. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets amounting to approximately $568,000 were
recorded as a result of the acquisition of Adenta, Inc in 2005. Such intangibles were related to an acquired contract, memberships, a provider network and goodwill. Identifiable and amortizable intangible assets amounted to $450,000. Amortization
expense for 2008, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $15,000, $15,000, and $196,000 respectively. The provider network intangible asset of approximately $90,000 at December 31, 2008 is being amortized over a period of 20 years, a period during
which the Company expects that all of these providers will have retired from the network. The membership intangible asset was amortized with an accelerated amortization in the first year due to the planned loss of the Adenta individual membership
during the transition. The remaining membership intangible asset of approximately $83,000 at December 31, 2008 is being amortized over its 11 year useful life in accordance with the Companys expectation for the membership retention. The
weighted-average amortization period for these intangible assets is approximately 9 years.

On July 25, 2006, Humana
Dental provided the Company with written notice of termination of the network lease agreement effective October 23, 2006. Accordingly the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $128,000 (included in amortization expense) to
eliminate the remaining balance associated with the Humana Dental network lease agreement intangible asset in July of 2006.

3. INVESTMENTS

The Company owned FDIC insured certificates of deposit with a cost of $1,909,000 and $1,967,000 as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Each certificate of deposit is invested with a separate FDIC-insured financial institution. As of December 31, 2008, nine certificates of deposit with a cost of $900,000 and a fair value of $909,987 have maturities
between 13 and 18 months and eleven certificates of deposit with a cost of $1,009,000 and a fair value of $1,021,920 have a maturities less than 12 months. As of December 31, 2007, twelve certificates of deposit with a cost of $1,109,000 and a
fair value of $1,109,139 had maturities of between 12 and 24 months and ten certificates of deposit with a cost of $858,000 and a fair value of $857,848 had a maturities less than 12 months. The Company also invests in a money market fund with a
cost of $4,634,000 and $3,255,020 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These short-term and fixed maturities investments are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices. The
unrealized gains and losses on investment activity are due to a change in the quoted market prices for these certificates of deposit caused by an changes in prevailing interest rates since they were purchased. There were no realized gains or losses
for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

future income tax payments. Significant factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax benefits include the historical operating results and the expectations of future earnings. The

ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS

8. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the
fair value of the liability awards and is recognized as expense ratably over the vesting periods. The fair value of the liability awards are remeasured at the end of each reporting period through the remaining vesting period with the change in fair
value recognized in earnings currently.

In accordance with the 2006 Dental Care Plus Management Equity Incentive Plan and
the Dental Care Plus, Inc. and DCP Holding Company Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plans), Company directors and certain key employees elected to defer portions of their director fees and employee compensation, as applicable. The Company
recorded expense of approximately $106,000 and $90,000 related to deferred director fees and deferred employee compensation for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Directors and key employees who elect to defer cash
compensation may request that the Company invest this compensation in phantom shares of the Company. The Plans also provide for the directors and key employees to receive share awards based on the book value of the Redeemable Common Shares and to
elect to defer receiving such amounts until termination of board membership or employment and vesting requirements are met. If a director or key employee does not elect to defer receiving his or her share awards, the individual will receive Class B
Redeemable Common Shares upon vesting. If the share awards are deferred, these deferred amounts will be paid in cash. An individual directors award vests 100% at the end of each year if the director meets the board meeting attendance
requirements. The key employee awards vest 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% at the end of each respective year in a four-year period following the grant date. There are no performance criteria associated with the vesting of the awards for key employees. The
only requirement for vesting is that the individual is an employee of the Company at the end of the vesting year in question. The deferred compensation expense related to these awards is recorded on a straight-line basis during the applicable
vesting period and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company recorded deferred compensation expense of approximately $278,000 and $183,000 related to deferred share awards and the change in the value of phantom
shares. As of December 31, 2008 there is approximately $115,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested award compensation under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

The expected fair value of the awards are calculated by applying the three year historical average growth rate of the book
value per redeemable common share over the respective vesting period. The weighted average grant date fair value of the awards granted in the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were $680, $556 and $549, respectively. The fair
value of the awards converted to Class B Redeemable Commons Shares in May 2008 was approximately $25,000. There were not any awards converted in 2007 or 2006. The fair value of the awards paid in 2007 was approximately $11,000. There were not any
award payments in 2008 or 2006. The total fair value of the awards that vested during the three years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $247,000, $170,000 and $62,000, respectively.

restricted share awards granted that would have a dilutive effect on the Companys basic earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2006.

10. REDEEMABLE COMMON SHARES, SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

Providers in the Companys service area have the option to purchase one share of voting Class A Redeemable Common Shares of the Company. The area we refer to as our service area includes all counties located in Ohio and Kentucky.
All participating providers along with Company directors and employees have the option to purchase one or more non-voting Class B Redeemable Common Shares of the Company. Accordingly, prospective shareholders may make a subscription payment per
share equal to the book value of a common share, which was approximately $672 and $601 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company has authorized 100,000 preferred shares, without par value. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, no preferred shares were issued or are outstanding. The preferred shares do not have voting rights except
to the extent required by law or designated by the Board of Directors.

Dividends restrictions vary among the subsidiaries.
Dental Care Plus is restricted by regulatory requirements of its domiciliary state, which limit by reference to statutory net income and net worth the dividends that can be paid without prior regulatory approval. Dividends paid by Dental Care Plus
cannot, without prior approval of the

Department, exceed in any one year the lesser of: (i) 10% of net worth (as of the preceding December 31), or (ii) net income for the prior
year, and only if net worth exceeds $250,000 and only out of positive retained earnings. Under these restrictions, the total dividends that may be paid by Dental Care Plus in 2009 without prior regulatory approval are approximately $517,000. There
were no dividends declared or paid by any subsidiaries during 2008, 2007 or 2006.

Generally accepted accounting principles
differ in certain respects from the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory authorities (statutory-basis). The statutory-basis net income of Dental Care Plus was approximately $641,000, $494,000, and
$175,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Statutory-basis net worth was approximately $5,174,000 and $4,670,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

11. DEBT

In 2003, the Company
purchased land and an office building and in connection therewith, the Company executed a mortgage note, secured by the land and the office building, with a bank in the amount of $1,800,000. Interest is payable based on the 30-day LIBOR rate plus
1.75% and was 3.19% and 6.07% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At the maturity date of the mortgage note in 2013, the expected outstanding balance of the note must be repaid, amounting to $600,000.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (Note 12) that effectively changed the interest rate related to $1,500,000 of
the Companys $1,800,000 mortgage note with a commercial bank from a variable rate based on the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% to a fixed rate of approximately 4.95% for the 10-year period through June 12, 2013. The notional amount of the
interest rate swap reduces concurrently with the reduction of the principal of the mortgage note. The Companys effective interest expense was 4.49%, 5.22% and 5.41% at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

At December 31, 2008, the fair value of the mortgage note is approximately $1,207,000.

Required principal repayments under the mortgage loan payable are as follows:

|                            |  |   |

12. DERIVATIVE

In 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (Agreement) (cash flow hedge) with a total notional amount of $1,500,000. The Agreement is used to manage the Companys interest rate
risk. The swap agreement effectively changed the interest rate related to $1,500,000 of the Companys $1,800,000 mortgage note with a commercial bank from a variable rate based on the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% to a fixed rate of
approximately 4.95% for the 10-year period through June 12, 2013. The Companys risk management policy is to not enter into any trading activities related to the Agreement. The Company believes that the risk of nonperformance by the other
party in conjunction with this arrangement is not material to the financial statements. The fair value of this Agreement at December 31, 2008 was a liability of approximately $38,000 and is included in other payables and accruals in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the Agreement at December 31, 2007 was an asset of approximately $27,000 and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The amount included in other
comprehensive loss related to the interest rate swap was $42,885, $30,096, and $3,953, net of income tax benefit of $22,093, $15,504, and $2,037 during 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The agreement will terminate upon termination of the mortgage
loan payable (Note 11).

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LeasesThe Company leases certain equipment and office space under non-cancelable operating leases. Rent expense under all operating leases was approximately $181,000,
$211,000, and $210,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

At December 31,
2008, future approximate minimum annual lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows; 2009$175,000; 2010$151,000, and 2011$34,000.

LitigationIn the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various regulatory proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters. Such matters are subject to many
uncertainties and outcomes are not reasonably predictable. In the opinion of the Companys management, the eventual resolution of such matters for amounts above those reflected in the consolidated financial statements would not likely have a
materially adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

14. LEASE INCOME

In 2004, the Company began to lease space in its building to unrelated parties under non-cancelable leases. Income recorded by the Company
under non-cancelable leases amounted to approximately $47,000, $58,000 and $92,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Such amounts are recorded as other income in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. As of December 31, 2008, approximate future minimum annual lease income under non-cancelable leases are as follows:

which may not exceed a limit set annually by the Internal Revenue Service, are contributed by the Company each year and vest ratably over a five-year period. Company contributions, including administration fees paid by the Company amounted to
approximately $51,000, $50,000, and $30,000 in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

16. LINES OF CREDIT

In 2006, DCP Holding Company entered into an annually renewable agreement with a commercial bank for a $500,000 working capital line of
credit. Interest is payable based on the prime borrowing rate and was 3.25% and 7.25% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company did not have any interest expense for the line of credit in 2008 or 2007 and paid $158 in 2006.

On August 13, 2008 the Company entered into an additional annually renewable agreement with a commercial bank for a
$1,000,000 working capital line of credit. Interest is payable based on the prime borrowing rate that was 3.25% as of December 31, 2008. The Company did not incur any interest expense in the 2008 period related to this line of credit.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no amounts outstanding on either line of credit.

17. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company
changed the composition of its reportable segments in the current year, and the amounts in the prior period financial statements relating to reportable segments have been modified to conform to the current composition of reportable segments. The
modification of the reportable segments was a result of changes in the structure of the Companys internal organization that occurred in the current year. The Company manages its business with three reportable segments: fully-insured dental,
self-insured dental and corporate, all other. Fully-insured dental consists of the three operating segments: fully-insured dental HMO, fully-insured dental PPO and fully-insured dental indemnity products. Self-insured dental consists of two
operating segments: the self-insured dental HMO and self-insured indemnity products. Corporate, all other consists primarily of certain corporate activities. After the Company assumed the underwriting risk for its fully-insured dental PPO contracts
in Ohio effective June 1, 2008, the Companys fully-insured dental PPO and fully-insured dental indemnity products were reclassified from the corporate, all other segment and aggregated with the fully-insured dental HMO product to comprise
the fully-insured dental segment. The Company identified the segments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
These segments are consistent with information used by the Chief Executive Officer (the chief decision maker) in managing the business. The segment information aggregates products with similar economic characteristics. These characteristics include
the nature of employer groups and pricing, benefits and underwriting requirements.

The results of the fully-insured and
self-insured dental segments are measured by gross profit. The Company does not allocate insurance expense, investment and other income, goodwill, or other assets or liabilities to these segments. These items are assigned to the remainder of the
Companys business, which it identifies as corporate, all other. The Companys gross profit was approximately $12,617,000, $11,798,000 and $9,561,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Seven of our Board members are also participating providers and as a group received
approximately $151,000, $151,000, and $160,000 in directors fees for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

19. FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157. Subsequent to the adoption of
SFAS No. 157, FSP No. 157-2 delayed the effective date of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized
or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. This FSP delayed the effective date to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. As amended, SFAS No. 157 provides a definition of fair
value that serves to replace and unify old fair value definitions so that consistency on the definition is achieved, and the definition provided acts as a modification of the current accounting presumption that a transaction price of an asset or
liability equals its initial fair value. The statement also provides a fair value hierarchy used to classify source information used in fair value measurements that places higher importance on market-based sources. The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy defined by SFAS No. 157 are as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1  Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Valuations based on significant other observable inputs other than those included in Level 1 such as quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3  Valuations based on unobservable inputs such as when observable inputs are not available or inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
following table presents for each of the fair value levels, the Companys assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008 (amounts in thousands).

The Company measures fair value using the following valuation methodologies. The
Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of the deferred compensation investments and certain state fund guarantee fund deposits; such items are classified as Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy. Examples include government
securities and exchange-traded equity securities. The Company obtains prices from independent vendors to determine the fair value of the majority of its short-term investments and investments portfolio. The remainder of the short-term investments
and investments portfolio and the remainder of the state fund guarantee deposits are fair valued using a discounted cash flow method whereby the significant observable inputs include the maturity date and the interest rate yield; such items are
classified as Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy. Examples include brokered and non-brokered certificates of deposit. The Company obtains a price from an independent vendor to determine the fair value of the interest rate swap. The independent
vendor uses a discounted cash flow method whereby the significant observable inputs include the replacement interest rates of similar swap instruments in the market and swap curves; such items are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, and therefore, are not included in the
table above. These include long-lived assets such as certain plant, property and equipment items, intangible assets and goodwill, as well as assets measured at cost that are written down to fair value during a period as a result of an impairment.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, there were no assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. The
Company has chosen not to elect the fair value option for any balance sheet item that has not already been measured at fair value in accordance with other generally accepted accounting principles as permitted by SFAS No. 159, The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets.

|ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with
the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities and Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2008. Based on the evaluation, the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of December 31, 2008.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer also have concluded that in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2008, there were no changes in the Companys internal controls that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). In evaluating the Companys internal control over financial reporting, management has adopted the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2008. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2008.

The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements. However, because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This Annual Report Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject
to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Managements report in this annual report.
