</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) was incorporated as a Florida corporation in
April&nbsp;1990 and in May&nbsp;2002 merged into an Ohio corporation formed for the purpose of
reincorporating in Ohio, where the Company&#146;s principal place of business is located. The Company
has four operating subsidiaries.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (&#147;DHCM&#148;), an Ohio corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company and a registered investment advisor. DHCM is the investment adviser to the Diamond
Hill Funds (the &#147;Funds&#148;), a series of open-end mutual funds, private investment funds (&#147;Private

</DIV>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">Note 2 <U>Significant Accounting Policies</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the Company&#146;s
significant accounting policies:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Principles of Consolidation</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Segment Information</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SFAS No.&nbsp;131, &#147;Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,&#148; establishes
disclosure requirements relating to operating segments in annual and interim financial statements.
Management has determined that the Company operates principally in one business segment, namely as
an investment adviser and administrator to mutual funds, separate accounts, and private investment
funds.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Cash and Cash Equivalents</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and money market funds.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Accounts Receivable</U>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Accounts receivable are recorded when they are due and are presented in the balance sheet, net of
any allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when they are determined
to be uncollectible. Any allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company&#146;s
historical losses, existing conditions in the industry, and the financial stability of those
individuals or entities that owe the receivable. No allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed
necessary at March&nbsp;31, 2008 or December&nbsp;31, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Valuation of Investment Portfolio</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;) No.&nbsp;157 &#151; &#147;Fair Value Measurements&#148;
(&#147;SFAS 157&#148;), all investments held by the Company are valued based upon the definition of Level 1
inputs. In general, SFAS 157 defines Level 1 inputs, as fair values which use quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Investments in mutual funds are valued at their quoted closing current net asset values, or NAVs,
per share of each mutual fund. Investments in Private Funds and other equity securities are
independently valued based on readily available market quotations. The changes in market values
on the investments are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income as investment returns.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Limited Partnership Interests</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DHCM is the managing member of Diamond Hill General Partner, LLC, the General Partner of Diamond
Hill Investment Partners, LP (&#147;DHIP&#148;) and Diamond Hill Investment Partners II, LP (&#147;DHIP II&#148;),
each a limited partnership whose underlying assets consist of marketable securities. DHCM in its
role as the managing member of the General Partner exerts significant influence over the financial
and operating policies of DHIP and DHIP II but does not exercise control. Therefore, DHCM&#146;s
investment in DHIP and DHIP II is accounted for using the equity method, under which DHCM&#146;s share
of the net earnings or losses from the partnership is reflected in income as earned, and
distributions received are reflected as reductions from the investment. Several board members,
officers and employees of the Company invest in DHIP and DHIP II through Diamond Hill General
Partner, LLC. These individuals receive no remuneration as a result of their personal investment
in DHIP or DHIP II. The capital of Diamond Hill General Partner, LLC is not subject to a
management fee or an incentive fee.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Furniture and Equipment</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Furniture and equipment, consisting of computer equipment, furniture, and fixtures, are carried at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method
over estimated lives of three to seven years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><U>Revenue Recognition &#151; General</U>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from investment advisory and fund
administration services. Mutual fund investment advisory and administration fees, calculated as a
percentage of assets under management, are recorded as revenue as services are performed. Managed
account and private investment fund clients provide for monthly or quarterly management fees, in
addition to quarterly or annual performance fees.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><U>Revenue Recognition &#151; Performance Incentive Revenue</U>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s private investment funds and certain managed accounts provide for performance
incentive fees. EITF Abstract Topic No.&nbsp;D-96, &#147;Accounting for Management Fees Based on a
Formula&#148;, identifies two methods by which incentive revenue may be recorded. Under &#147;Method 1&#148;,
incentive fees are recorded at the end of the contract period; under &#147;Method 2&#148;, the incentive
fees are recorded periodically and calculated as the amount that would be due under the formula at
any point in time as if the contract was terminated at that date. Management has chosen Method 1,
in which incentive fees are recorded at the end of the contract period for the specific client in
which the incentive fee applies. The table below shows assets under management (&#147;AUM&#148;) subject to
performance incentive fees and the performance incentive fees as calculated under each of the
above methods:

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DHCM has an administrative, fund accounting and transfer agency services agreement with the
Diamond Hill Funds (&#147;Funds&#148;), under which DHCM performs certain services for each fund. These
services include mutual fund administration, accounting, transfer agency and other related
functions. For performing these services, each fund compensates DHCM a fee at an annual rate of
0.32% 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. Effective April&nbsp;30, 2007, the fee for administrative services was reduced from 0.36%
to 0.32% for Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares. The Funds have selected and contractually engaged
certain vendors to fulfill various services to benefit the Funds&#146; shareholders or to satisfy
regulatory requirements of the Funds. These services include, among others, required fund
shareholder mailings, registration fees, legal and audit fees. DHCM, in fulfilling a portion of
its role under the administration agreement with the Funds, acts as agent to pay these obligations
of the Funds. Each vendor is independently responsible for fulfillment of the services it has
been engaged to provide and negotiates fees and terms with the management and board of trustees of
the Funds. The fee that the Funds pay to DHCM is reviewed annually by the Funds&#146; board of
trustees and specifically takes into account the contractual expenses that DHCM pays on behalf of
the Funds. As a result, DHCM is not involved in the delivery or pricing of these services and
bears no risk related to these services. Consistent with EITF 99-19, revenue has been recorded
net of these Fund expenses. In addition, DHCM finances the up-front commissions which are paid by
the Fund&#146;s principal underwriter to brokers who sell C shares of the Funds. As financer, DHCM
advances to the underwriter the commission amount to be paid to the selling broker at the time of
sale. These advances are capitalized and amortized over 12&nbsp;months to correspond with the
re-payments DHCM receives from the principal underwriter to recoup this commission advancement.
Mutual fund administration (&#147;admin&#148;) gross and net revenue are summarized below:

At the Company&#146;s annual shareholder meeting on May&nbsp;12, 2005, shareholders approved the 2005
Employee and Director Equity Incentive Plan (&#147;2005 Plan&#148;). The 2005 Plan is intended to
facilitate the Company&#146;s ability to attract and retain staff, provide additional incentive to
employees, directors and consultants, and to promote the success of the Company&#146;s business. The
Plan authorizes the issuance of Common Shares of the Company in various forms of stock or option
grants. As of March&nbsp;31, 2008 shares available for issuance under the Plan are 498,506. The Plan
provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board, may grant awards and
otherwise administer the Plan.

2009.

The Company makes matching contributions of Common Shares of the Company with a value equal to 200
percent of the first six percent of an employee&#146;s compensation contributed to the plan. Employees
become fully vested in the matching contributions after six plan years of employment. For the
three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, expenses attributable to the plan were $138,342 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.

not contain any limits on the Company&#146;s liability and would involve future claims that may be made
against the Company that have not yet occurred. Therefore, it is not possible to estimate the
Company&#146;s potential liability under these indemnities. Further, the Company maintains insurance
policies that may provide coverage against certain claims under these indemnities.

within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 relating to, among other things, such matters as anticipated operating
results, prospects for achieving the critical threshold of assets under management, technological

While the Company believes that the assumptions underlying its forward-looking statements are
reasonable, investors are cautioned that any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and
accordingly, the actual results and experiences of the Company could differ materially from the
anticipated results or other expectations expressed by the Company in its forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause such actual results or experiences to differ from results
discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the adverse effect
from a decline in the securities markets; a decline in the performance of the Company&#146;s products;
changes in interest rates; a general downturn in the economy; changes in government policy and
regulation, including monetary policy; changes in the Company&#146;s ability to attract or retain key
employees; unforeseen costs and other effects related to legal proceedings or investigations of
governmental and self-regulatory organizations; and other risks identified from time-to-time in the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;), an Ohio corporation organized in 1990, derives
its consolidated revenue and net income from investment advisory services provided by its
subsidiary Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (&#147;DHCM&#148;). DHCM is a registered investment adviser
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 providing investment advisory services to individuals and
institutional investors through the Diamond Hill sponsored mutual funds, separate accounts, and
private investment funds (generally known as &#147;hedge funds&#148;). The Company was first incorporated in
April&nbsp;1990. During the first quarter of 2008, the Company incorporated two new subsidiaries,
Beacon Hill Fund Services, Inc. (&#147;BHFS&#148;) and BHIL Distributors, Inc. (&#147;BHIL&#148;) to collectively
operate as (&#147;Beacon Hill&#148;). Beacon Hill will provide certain fund administration services and
distribution services to small to mid size mutual funds, including Diamond Hill Funds.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In this section, the company discusses and analyzes the consolidated results of operations for the
three month periods ending March&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007 and other factors that may affect future
financial performance. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and Selected Financial Data.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s revenue is derived primarily from investment advisory and administration fees
received from Diamond Hill Funds and investment advisory and performance incentive fees received
from separate accounts and private investment funds. Investment advisory and administration fees
paid to the Company are based primarily on the value of the investment portfolios managed by the
Company and fluctuate with changes in the total value of the assets under management. Such fees are
recognized in the period that the Company manages these assets. Performance incentive fees are
generally 20% annually on the amount of client investment performance in excess of a 5% annual
return hurdle. Because performance incentive fees are based primarily on the performance of client
accounts, they will be volatile from period to period. The Company&#146;s major expense is employee
compensation and benefits.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company generated net income of $1,985,689 ($0.82 per diluted share) for the three months ended
March&nbsp;31 2008, compared with net income of $1,994,413 ($0.91 per diluted share) for the three
months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. The decrease in earnings per share was due to the issuance of
additional shares from the Company&#146;s equity incentive plans. Net income was flat despite a 12%
increase in AUM primarily due to a negative return on the Company&#146;s corporate investment portfolio,
a full quarter effect of lowering administration fees on the Diamond Hill Funds by four basis
points, and the loss from Beacon Hill of approximately $191,000 as it starts up its operation.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a percent of total first quarter 2008 revenues, investment advisory fees accounted for 85%,
performance incentive fees accounted for less than 3%, and mutual fund administration fees
accounted for the remaining 13% compared to the first quarter of 2007 where investment advisory
fees accounted for 84%, performance incentive fees accounted for less than 1%, and mutual fund
administration fees accounted for 16% of revenues.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Investment Advisory Fees. </B>Investment advisory fees are calculated as a percent of average net
assets under management at various levels depending on the investment product. The Company&#146;s
average advisory fee rate for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 was 0.82% compared to 0.80% for
the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. This increase was mainly due to the increase in AUM in the
long-short products, which have a higher advisory fee. The overall increase in investment advisory
fees was primarily due to an increase in AUM of $500&nbsp;million quarter over quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Performance Incentive Fees. </B>Performance incentive fees are generally equal to 20% of the
performance increase in client accounts after a 5% annual hurdle is achieved. The fees are
dependent on both AUM and absolute investment performance in client accounts and will be volatile
from period to period. Incentive fee AUM totaled $661&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to $520
million at March&nbsp;31, 2007. Incentive fees increased during the first quarter of 2008 compared to
2007 due to investment performance exceeding the minimum hurdle in certain accounts for the three
months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 and not exceeding the hurdle for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration Fees. </B>Mutual fund administration fees are calculated as a percent of
average net assets under administration in the Diamond Hill Funds. The Company earns 0.32% on
Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares and 0.18% on Class&nbsp;I shares. As assets in the Funds have grown the
Company has realized certain economies of scale; and as a result, the Company has lowered its
administration fees by approximately 10% in each of the last three years to pass on those economies
of scale to fund shareholders. The Company lowered its administration fees again effective April
30, 2008 from 0.32% to 0.30% for Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares. Class&nbsp;I share fees remained unchanged
at 0.18%. As a result of lowering fees by approximately 10% on April&nbsp;30, 2007, fund administration
revenues decreased by $79,000 for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to March&nbsp;31, 2007,
despite the increase in mutual fund AUM of $323&nbsp;million.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Compensation and Related Costs. </B>Employee compensation and benefits increased by $1.2&nbsp;million, or
25%, during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March&nbsp;31,
2007. This increase is due to an increase in staff and long-term equity awards.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>General and Administrative. </B>General and administrative expenses decreased by $9,000 or 2%.
General and administrative expenses have remained relatively stable quarter over quarter, as the
Company has not experienced a significant increase in research and other related operating
expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Sales and Marketing. </B>Sales and marketing expenses increased by $12,000 or 12%. This increase was
primarily due to an increase in travel and other marketing expenses related to new business growth.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Third Party Distribution. </B>Third party distribution expense represents payments made to
intermediaries related to sales of the Company&#146;s investment products. The quarter over quarter
increases directly correspond to the increase in investment advisory fees earned by the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration. </B>Mutual fund administration expense decreased by $84,000 or 15%. This
decrease is attributable to a re-negotiation of certain vendor contracts resulting in both expense
reductions and a shifting of certain expense obligations directly to the Diamond Hill Funds.
Absent this contract re-negotiation, mutual fund administration expenses generally correlate with
an increase or decrease in mutual fund assets under administration.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B>
</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 for
cash liquidity, if needed, within three business days. Investments in mutual funds are valued at
their current net asset value. Investments in private investment funds and other equity securities
are valued based on readily available market quotations. Inflation is expected to have no material
impact on the Company&#146;s performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As of March&nbsp;31, 2008, the Company had working capital of approximately $46.9&nbsp;million compared to
$37.5&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2007. Working capital includes cash, securities owned and accounts
receivable, net of all liabilities. The Company has no debt and its available working capital is
expected to be sufficient to cover current expenses. The Company does not expect any material
capital expenditures during the remainder of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the third quarter of 2007 the board of directors authorized management to repurchase up to
350,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock. Management and the board believe that the most
appropriate use for excess cash is to invest in Diamond Hill investment strategies or repurchase
the Company&#146;s common stock. The deciding factor will be which alternative offers the most
favorable risk-adjusted rate of return in the opinion of management and the board.

<DIV style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules&nbsp;13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report (the &#147;Evaluation Date&#148;). Based on such evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date,
the Company&#146;s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s rules and forms, and to
ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company&#146;s
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. There have not been any changes in the Company&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting.</DIV>
