</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective October&nbsp;1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (&#147;SFAS 123R&#148;). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees and
directors, including grants of stock options, to be recognized as expense in the income statement
based on their fair values. The amount of compensation is measured at the fair value of the
options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the required service period, which is
normally the vesting period of the options. SFAS 123R applies to the Company for options granted
or modified after October&nbsp;1, 2005. SFAS 123R also requires compensation cost to be recorded for
prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.&nbsp;25
(&#147;APB 25&#148;) and related Interpretations in accounting for stock options and warrants issued to
employees and directors. Under APB 25, only certain pro forma disclosures of fair value were
required. Had compensation cost for all of the Company&#146;s stock-based awards been determined in
accordance with FAS 123R, the Company&#146;s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced
to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s deferred tax accounts at December&nbsp;31, 2004 included a deferred tax asset and an
offsetting valuation allowance of $2,442,561 that were recognized from net losses in 2004 and
prior years. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company determined it was probable that it
would be able to realize the deferred tax asset. Accordingly, the Company reversed $2,442,561 of
the valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2005. The deferred tax asset has been further
reduced as the tax net operating loss is utilized.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DHCM has an administrative, fund accounting and transfer agency services agreement with Diamond
Hill Funds, an Ohio business trust, under which DHCM performs certain services for each series of
the trust. These services include mutual fund administration, accounting, transfer agency and
other related functions. For performing these services, each series of the trust compensates DHCM
a fee at an annual rate of 0.36% for Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares and 0.18% for Class&nbsp;I shares times
each series&#146; average daily net assets. Mutual Fund Administration also includes C Share
Financing, in which, DHCM finances the up-front commissions paid to brokers who sell C Shares of
the Diamond Hill Funds. As financer, DHCM pays the commission to the selling broker at the time
of sale. This commission payment is capitalized and expensed over 12&nbsp;months to correspond with
the matching revenues DHCM receives from the principal underwriter to recoup this commission
payment. DHCM collected $1,585,173 and $458,888 for mutual fund administration revenue for the
three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 and 2005, respectively; and for the six months ended June&nbsp;30,
2006 and 2005, DHCM collected $2,874,063 and $858,334, respectively. In fulfilling its role under
this agreement, DHCM has engaged several third-party providers, and the cost for their services is
paid by DHCM. Mutual fund administration expense for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 and
2005 was $1,229,626 and $502,458, respectively; and for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 and
2005, mutual fund administration expense was $2,250,225 and $976,036. Effective April&nbsp;30, 2006,
DHCM reduced the fee it charges for administrative services from 0.40% to 0.36% for Class&nbsp;A and
Class&nbsp;C shares and from 0.20% to 0.18% for Class&nbsp;I shares.

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt">DIAMOND HILL INVESTMENT GROUP, INC.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company increased its investment management revenue from all three of its investment products &#150;
mutual funds, managed accounts and private investment partnerships, by 346%, 195%, and 308%,
respectively for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 compared to the three months ended June&nbsp;30,
2005. In addition to the incentive fee earned from the private investment partnerships, the
Company also earns an incentive fee from managed accounts, which for the three months ended June
30, 2006 was $290,822 or 20% of managed accounts revenue. The company earns its performance
incentive fee of 20% of the annual investment return once a 5% annual hurdle has been reached, also
subject to a high-water mark. The performance incentive fee for both the private investment
partnerships and managed accounts can be extremely volatile from period to period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the quarter ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 the Company launched two new private investment funds. Both
are managed in a similar fashion to the Company&#146;s existing private investment partnership. Diamond
Hill Offshore Ltd. is domiciled in the Cayman Islands for use by foreign entities and qualified
U.S. entities. Diamond Hill Investment Partners II, L.P. is an Ohio limited partnership, similar
to the Company existing partnership, however it is designed for institutions and &#147;super-accredited&#148;
investors. The Company has also engaged a third party placement firm to assist the Company in
raising assets in these new private investment funds. To date, efforts by the third party
placement firm have generated a number of meaningful presentations to potential clients and the
Company believes these efforts will be successful in raising additional assets.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Operating expenses were $3,883,869 in the second quarter of 2006, up $2,998,795 from the second
quarter of 2005. The largest expense, compensation and related costs, increased $2,885,327, which
is up 436% from the prior year. The number of employees and their total compensation has
increased. The largest portion of the increase is attributable to an increase in the bonus
compensation accrual, which is based on projected operating results for 2006 that consider our
strong trailing investment performance and continued growth in assets under management. The 2005
results did not include any compensation accrual.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s net operating income increased to $1,450,240 for the three months ended June&nbsp;30,
2006, which represented a 191% increase from the same period in 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mutual fund administration, which represents administrative and financing fees collected in
connection with the Company&#146;s mutual fund products, net of all mutual fund administrative and
financing expenses paid by the Company, increased from a net expense of $43,570 for the three
months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 to a net income of $355,547 for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006.
This improvement is primarily due to a significant increase in AUM in the Diamond Hill Funds. Due
to this significant increase in AUM, the company voluntarily decreased the administration fees it
charges to the Funds by 10% effective April&nbsp;30, 2006. The Company also decreased administration
fees 11% a year earlier on April&nbsp;30, 2005. These fee reductions are passed along to Fund
shareholders and will reduce mutual fund expenses and help improve investment performance of the
Funds and as a result, we believe, will better position the Funds among competitors. The Company
anticipates that mutual fund administration activity will be a net positive contributor towards the
Company&#146;s net income for the foreseeable future.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Investment return increased to $364,982 for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 from a gain of
$61,134 for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005. Management is unable to predict how future
fluctuations in market values will impact the performance of the Company&#146;s investment portfolio.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 compared to six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Investment management revenues for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 increased to $10,237,963
compared to $2,596,377 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005, a 294% increase. This increase
results primarily from the increase in AUM, particularly mutual fund assets.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company increased its investment management revenue from all three of its investment products &#150;
mutual funds, managed accounts and private investment partnerships, by 337%, 198%, and 377%,
respectively for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005.
In addition to the incentive fee earned from the private investment partnerships, the Company also
earns an incentive fee from managed accounts, which for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 was
$703,558 or 25% of managed accounts revenue. The company earns its performance incentive fee of
20% of the annual investment return once a 5% annual hurdle has been reached, also subject to a
high-water mark. The performance incentive fee for both the private investment partnerships and
managed accounts can be extremely volatile from period to period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Operating expenses were $7,561,759 for the first six months of 2006, up $5,828,169 from the first
six months of 2005. The largest expense, compensation and related costs, increased $5,618,424,
which is up 432% compared to the first six months of the prior year quarter. The number of
employees and their total compensation has increased. The largest portion of the increase is
attributable to an increase in the bonus compensation accrual, which is based on projected
operating results for 2006 that consider our strong trailing investment performance and continued
growth in assets under management. 2005 results did not include any bonus compensation accrual.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s net operating income increased to $2,676,204 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006,
which represented a 210% increase from the same period in 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mutual fund administration, which represents administrative and financing fees collected in
connection with the Company&#146;s mutual fund products net of all mutual fund administrative and
financing expenses paid by the Company, increased from a net expense of $117,702 for the six months
ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 to a net income of $623,838 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006. This
improvement is primarily due to a significant increase in AUM in the Diamond Hill Funds. Due to
this significant increase in AUM, the company voluntarily decreased the administration fees it
charges to the Funds by 10% effective April&nbsp;30, 2006. The Company also decreased administration
fees 11% a year earlier on April&nbsp;30, 2005. These fee reductions are passed along to Fund
shareholders and will reduce mutual fund expenses and help improve investment performance of the
Funds and as a result, we believe will better position the Funds among competitors. The Company
anticipates that mutual fund administration activity will be a net positive contributor towards the
Company&#146;s net income for the foreseeable future.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Investment return increased to $790,100 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 from a gain of
$166,751 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005. Management is unable to predict how future
fluctuations in market values will impact the performance of the Company&#146;s investment portfolio.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of mutual fund administration and company portfolio investment performance, the
Company&#146;s net operating income increased, causing the pre-tax net income to increase to $4,090,142
for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006 compared to $911,836 for the same period in 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">After the income tax provision, net income for the first six months of 2006 was $2,620,780, a 187%
increase over the first six months of 2005.<BR>

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s entire investment portfolio is in readily marketable securities, which provide cash
liquidity, if needed. Investments in mutual funds are valued at their current net asset value.
Investments in private investment partnerships are valued based on readily available market
quotations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of June&nbsp;30, 2006, the Company had working capital of approximately $12.6&nbsp;million compared to
$8.4&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2005 and compared to $4.4&nbsp;million at June&nbsp;30, 2005. Working capital
includes cash, securities owned and accounts and notes receivable, net of all liabilities. The
Company has no long-term debt.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2006, the Company&#146;s net cash balance decreased by $715,133. Net
cash provided by operating activities was $5,007,972 and investing activities used $6,047,904.
Financing activities provided $324,799 of cash from the sale of treasury stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company&#146;s net cash balance increased by $166,065. Net
cash provided by operating activities was $214,930 and investing activities used $403,103.
Financing activities provided $354,238 of cash from the sale of treasury stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Investment management fees primarily fund the operations of the Company. Management believes that
the Company&#146;s existing resources, including available cash and cash provided by operating
activities, will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital requirements in the foreseeable
future. During the second quarter of 2006 the Company spent approximately $300,000 in capital
expenditures related to the relocation of our offices which occurred in early July&nbsp;2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Impact of Inflation and Other Factors</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s operations have not been significantly affected by inflation. The Company&#146;s
investment portfolios of equity and fixed income securities are carried at current market values.
The Company&#146;s profitability is affected by general economic and market conditions. The Company&#146;s
business is also subject to significant government regulation and changes in legal, accounting, tax
and other compliance requirements. Changes in these regulations may have a significant effect on
the Company&#146;s operations.
