</DIV>

<!-- xbrl,body -->
<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">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="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><U>Principles of Consolidation</U>
</DIV>


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


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Management has determined that the Company operates principally in one business segment, namely as
an investment adviser to mutual funds, separate accounts, and private investment funds; and
distributor, administrator, and transfer agent to mutual funds. Therefore, no disclosures relating
to operating segments are required in annual or interim financial statements.
</DIV>


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


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

</DIV>


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


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">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 September&nbsp;30, 2009 or December&nbsp;31, 2008.
</DIV>


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


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Investments held by the Company are valued based upon the definition of Level 1 inputs and Level 2
inputs. Level 1 inputs are defined as fair values which use quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are
defined as quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active for identical assets or
liabilities, quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and inputs other
than quoted prices that are directly observable or indirectly through corroboration with
observable market data. At September&nbsp;30, 2009, $3,877,128 and $15,189,651 in Company investments
are valued based upon Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, respectively.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The changes in market values on the investments are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of
Income as investment returns.
</DIV>


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


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM is the managing member of Diamond Hill General Partner, LLC, the General Partner of Diamond
Hill Investment Partners, LP (&#147;DHIP&#148;), Diamond Hill Investment Partners II, LP (&#147;DHIP II&#148;), and
Diamond Hill Research Partners, LP (&#147;DHRP&#148;), collectively (the &#147;Partnerships&#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 the Partnerships but does not exercise control. Therefore, DHCM&#146;s
investment in the Partnerships 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 the Partnerships. The capital of Diamond Hill General Partner, LLC is not subject to a
management fee or an incentive fee.

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


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


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from investment advisory, distribution, and
fund administration services. Mutual fund investment advisory and administration fees, generally
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>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s private investment funds and certain managed accounts provide for performance
incentive fees. For management fees based on a formula, there are 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="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM has an administrative and transfer agency services agreement with the Diamond Hill Funds (the
&#147;Funds&#148;), under which DHCM performs certain services for each fund. These services include mutual
fund administration, transfer agency and other related functions. For performing these services,
each fund compensates DHCM a fee at an annual rate of 0.34% for Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares and
0.20% for Class&nbsp;I shares times each series&#146; average daily net assets. 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. Revenue has been recorded net of
these Fund related expenses as it is the appropriate accounting treatment for this agency
relationship. In addition, DHCM finances the up-front commissions which are paid by the Fund&#146;s
principal underwriter to brokers who sell Class&nbsp;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.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Beacon Hill has underwriting and administrative service agreements with certain clients, including
registered mutual funds. The fee arrangements vary from client to client based upon services
provided and are recorded as revenue under Mutual Fund Administration. Part of Beacon Hill&#146;s role
as underwriter is to act as an agent on behalf of its mutual fund clients to receive 12b-1/service
fees and commission revenue and facilitate the payment of those fees and commissions to third
parties who provide services to the funds and their shareholders. The amount of 12b-1/service fees
and commissions are determined by each mutual fund client and Beacon Hill bears no financial risk
related to these services. As a result, 12b-1/service fees and commission revenue has been
recorded net of the expense payments to third parties as it is the appropriate accounting
treatment for this agency relationship.

employees, directors and consultants, and to promote the success of the Company&#146;s business. The
2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of Common Shares of the Company in various forms of stock or
option grants. As of September&nbsp;30, 2009, there were 356,449 shares available for issuance under
the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by
the Board, may grant awards and otherwise administer the 2005 Plan. Restricted stock grants
issued under the plan which vest over time, are recorded as deferred compensation on grant date
and then recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the respective grant.

the plan. Employees become fully vested in the matching contributions after six plan years of
employment. For the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009 and 2008, expenses attributable to the
plan were $188,039 and $169,206, respectively. For the nine months ended September&nbsp;30,

expensed over the required service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options.
This expense recognition has been applied to options granted or modified after October&nbsp;1, 2005.
Compensation cost is recorded for prior option grants that vest after October&nbsp;1, 2005.

liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Company. Additionally,
in the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of
representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. Certain agreements do
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.

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 or prolonged 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 Company&#146;s public documents on file with the SEC.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">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 and fund administration services
provided by its subsidiaries Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (&#147;DHCM&#148;), Beacon Hill Fund
Services, Inc. (&#147;BHFS&#148;), and BHIL Distributors, Inc. (&#147;BHIL&#148;). BHFS and BHIL collectively operate
as Beacon Hill. DHCM is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940
providing investment advisory services to individuals and institutional investors through Diamond
Hill Funds, separate accounts, and private investment funds (generally known as &#147;hedge funds&#148;).
Beacon Hill was incorporated during the first quarter of 2008, and provides certain fund
administration services and distribution services to mutual fund companies, including Diamond Hill
Funds.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In this section, the Company discusses and analyzes the consolidated results of operations for the
three and nine month periods ending September&nbsp;30, 2009 and 2008 and other factors that may affect
future financial performance. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include
information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting
principles. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of the Company included in the Company&#146;s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. However, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the
three and nine month periods ended September&nbsp;30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s revenue is derived primarily from investment advisory and administration fees
received from Diamond Hill Funds and investment advisory 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 AUM. Such fees are recognized in the period that the Company
manages these assets. The Company can also earn performance incentive fees which are generally 20%
annually on the amount of client investment performance in excess of a certain 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.

comparison to September&nbsp;30, 2008. Revenues are highly dependent on both the value and composition
of AUM. The following is a summary of the Company&#146;s AUM by product and objective as of September
30, 2009 and 2008 and a roll-forward of AUM activity for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company generated net income of $3,203,918 ($1.23 per diluted share) for the three
months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009, compared with net income of $1,224,391 ($0.50 per diluted share)
for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. Net income increased 162% due primarily to a
positive return on the Company&#146;s corporate investment portfolio of $2.1&nbsp;million for the three
months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009 compared to a negative return on the Company&#146;s corporate investment
portfolio of $2.3&nbsp;million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. Excluding the corporate
investment return, net operating income after tax decreased $859 thousand, or 32%, for the period
primarily due to a shift in composition of AUM from long-short strategies, which typically have a
higher fee, to long-only strategies.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As a percent of total second quarter 2009 revenues, investment advisory fees accounted for
84% and mutual fund administration fees accounted for the remaining 16% compared to the second
quarter of 2008 where investment advisory fees accounted for 87% and mutual fund administration
fees accounted for the remaining 13% of revenues.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Investment Advisory Fees. </B>The overall decrease in investment advisory fees was primarily due to a
shift in AUM composition from long-short strategies to long only strategies, which resulted in a
lower average advisory fee. Investment advisory fees are calculated as a percent of average net AUM
at various levels depending on the investment product. The Company&#146;s average advisory fee rate for
the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009 was 0.74% compared to 0.82% for the three months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2008. Through September&nbsp;30, 2009, the Long-Short Fund, which has a 0.90% advisory
fee, experienced cash outflows resulting in a decrease in assets for that Fund of 34% from
September&nbsp;30, 2008. This factor
contributed to the decrease in the average advisory fee rate for third quarter 2009 compared to
third quarter 2008.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration Fees. </B>Mutual fund administration fees are calculated as a percent of
average net AUM in the Diamond Hill Funds. The Company earns 0.34% on Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares
and 0.20% on Class&nbsp;I shares. Given the decrease in mutual fund AUM experienced during the second
half of 2008 through the first quarter of 2009, effective April&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company increased its
administration fees. Fund administration revenues increased by $84 thousand for the quarter ended
September&nbsp;30, 2009 compared to the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 due to the change in fees
during second quarter 2009.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Compensation and Related Costs. </B>Compensation expense decreased by $382 thousand, or 5%,
during the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009 over the same period a year ago. This reflects a
decrease of $598 thousand in restricted stock expense due to an overall decrease in the total
amount of long-term equity awards outstanding in 2009 compared to 2008 offset by an increase in
base salaries and related benefits of $216 thousand due to increased employee headcount. Incentive
compensation for third quarter 2009 remained flat compared to third quarter 2008.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>General and Administrative. </B>General and administrative expenses increased by $20 thousand, or 3%,
period over period. This increase is primarily due to additional research expenses to support the
Company&#146;s investment team and additional legal costs incurred during the quarter.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Sales and Marketing. </B>Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $12 thousand, or 7%. This decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in travel and other marketing expenses.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><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 expense is directly
correlated with investments in the Company&#146;s private investment funds. The period over period
increase or decrease directly corresponds to the increase or decrease in investment advisory fees
earned by the Company.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration. </B>Mutual fund administration expense decreased by $49 thousand, or 7%,
period over period. The majority of mutual fund administration fees are variable based on the
amount of mutual fund AUM. Despite an overall decrease in mutual fund AUM of $547 thousand, or 14%,
during the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2009 compared to September&nbsp;30, 2008, mutual fund
administration expenses decreased only 7% due to a fee increase by the sub-administrator and timing
differences of certain other administration expenses.
</DIV>

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company generated net income of $7,871,645 ($3.05 per diluted share) for the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2009, compared with net income of $4,989,453 ($2.08 per diluted share) for the
nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. Net income increased 58% despite a 1% decrease in AUM
primarily due to a positive return on the Company&#146;s corporate investment portfolio of $4.5&nbsp;million
for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009, offset by a loss from Beacon Hill of $822 thousand
for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009, compared to a negative return in the corporate
investment portfolio of $4.0&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008 and a loss from
Beacon Hill of $1.0&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008. Excluding the corporate
investment return, net operating income after tax
decreased $2.7&nbsp;million, or 35%, for the period primarily due to an average decline in AUM of 13%
decline in the first half of 2009 and a shift in composition of AUM from long-short strategies,
which typically have a higher fee, to long-only strategies.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As a percent of 2009&nbsp;year to date revenues, investment advisory fees accounted for 86% and
mutual fund administration fees accounted for the remaining 14% compared to the 2008 period where
investment advisory fees accounted for 87% and mutual fund administration fees accounted for 13% of
revenues.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Investment Advisory Fees. </B>The overall decrease in investment advisory fees was primarily due to a
shift in AUM composition from long-short strategies to long only strategies, which resulted in a
lower average advisory fee. Investment advisory fees are calculated as a percent of average net AUM
at various levels depending on the investment product. The Company&#146;s average advisory fee rate for
the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009 was 0.74% compared to 0.82% for the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2008. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in AUM in the Diamond Hill
Long-Short Fund, which has a 0.90% advisory fee. As of September&nbsp;30, 2009, the Diamond Hill
Long-Short Fund, which has a 0.90% advisory fee, experienced cash outflows resulting in a decrease
in assets for that Fund of 34% from September&nbsp;30, 2008. This factor contributed to the decrease in
the average advisory fee rate for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009 compared to the nine
months ended September&nbsp;30, 2008.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration Fees. </B>Mutual fund administration fees are calculated as a percent of
average net AUM in the Diamond Hill Funds. The Company earns 0.34% on Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares
and 0.20% on Class&nbsp;I shares. Given the decrease in mutual fund AUM experienced during the second
half of 2008 through the first quarter of 2009, effective April&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company increased its
fees. Due to a combination of fee changes and a reduction in mutual fund AUM of 14% as of September
30, 2009 compared to September&nbsp;30, 2008, fund administration revenues decreased by $6.1&nbsp;million, or
19%, for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September&nbsp;30,
2008.

decrease in restricted stock expense of $1&nbsp;million, or 46%, due to an overall decrease in the total

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s entire investment portfolio is in liquid 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="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As of September&nbsp;30, 2009, the Company had working capital of approximately $41.9&nbsp;million compared
to $24.1&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2008. 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 2009.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">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

Net Operating Income After Tax</B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">As supplemental information, we are providing performance measures that are based on
methodologies other than generally accepted accounting principles (&#147;non-GAAP&#148;) for &#147;Net Operating
Income After Tax&#148; that management uses as benchmarks in evaluating and comparing the
period-to-period operating performance of the Company and its subsidiaries.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company defines &#147;net operating income after tax&#148; as the Company&#146;s net operating income less
income tax provision excluding investment return and the tax impact related to the investment
return. The Company believes that &#147;net operating income after tax&#148; provides a good representation
of the Company&#146;s operating performance as it excludes the impact of investment return on financial
results. The amount of the investment portfolio and market fluctuations on the investments can
fluctuate significantly from one period to another, as seen over the past year, which can distort
the underlying earnings potential of a company. We also believe &#147;net operating income after tax&#148; is
an important metric in estimating the value of an asset management business. This measure is
provided in addition to net income and net operating income and is not a substitute for net income
or net operating income and may not be comparable to non-GAAP performance measures of other
companies.
