</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Throughout this Form 10-K, Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) may make
forward-looking statements 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 such matters as anticipated
operating results, prospects for achieving the critical threshold of assets under management,
technological developments, economic trends (including interest rates and market volatility),
expected transactions and acquisitions and similar matters. The words &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148;
&#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;hope,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;intend&#148; and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date thereof. 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 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
other public documents on file with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;), including
those discussed below in Item&nbsp;1A.
</DIV>

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


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company, an Ohio corporation organized in April&nbsp;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 underwriting services to mutual fund companies, including Diamond Hill Funds.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company sponsors, markets, and provides investment advisory and related services to various
clients including mutual funds, separate accounts, and private investment funds. The Company&#146;s
principal source of revenue is investment advisory fee income earned pursuant to investment
advisory contracts with each client. This fee income is based primarily upon the net assets of the
funds or separate accounts. The Company&#146;s investment advisory revenue depends largely on the total
value and composition of assets under management (&#147;AUM&#148;). Accordingly, fluctuations in financial
markets and in the composition of AUM impact our revenues and results of operations.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Investment Advisory Activities</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM executes its investment strategies through fundamental research and valuation disciplines.
Analysts evaluate a company&#146;s prospects based upon its current business and financial position,
future growth opportunities, and management capability and strategy. The intended result is an
estimate of &#147;intrinsic value&#148;. Intrinsic value is the present value of estimated future cash flows,
discounted at a rate that reflects the required return for the investment given the estimated level
of risk. In other words, it is the estimated price a minority shareholder should pay in order to
achieve a satisfactory or &#147;fair&#148; return on the investment. The estimate of intrinsic value is then
compared to the current market price to evaluate whether, in the opinion of DHCM, an attractive
investment opportunity exists. A proprietary valuation model, which takes into account projected
cash flows for five years including a &#147;terminal value&#148; (the expected stock price in five years),
assists in many of these intrinsic value estimations. DHCM also applies an intrinsic value
philosophy to the analysis of fixed income securities.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM believes that although securities markets are competitive, pricing inefficiencies often exist
allowing for attractive investment opportunities. Furthermore, DHCM believes that investing in
securities whose market prices are significantly below DHCM&#146;s estimate of intrinsic value (or
selling short securities whose market prices are above intrinsic value) is a reliable method to
achieve above average relative returns as well as mitigate risk.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Current portfolio strategies managed include Small Cap, Small-Mid Cap, Large Cap, Select,
Long-Short, Financial Long-Short, and Strategic Income. These strategies are available on a
separately managed basis and/or through a mutual fund. The Long-Short strategy is also available
through private investment funds that are offered to accredited and qualified investors in the
United States and around the world. The Company believes its desire to grow AUM should never come
before its fiduciary obligation to clients. Once the size of any of the Company&#146;s strategies
hinders its ability to either differentiate its product or add value for its clients, the Company
will close those strategies to new clients, which may impact the Company&#146;s ability to grow AUM.
The Small Cap strategy was closed to new investors as of December&nbsp;31, 2005 and re-opened on
September&nbsp;1, 2007. The Long-Short strategy was closed to new investors as of June&nbsp;30, 2008 and
re-opened on December&nbsp;31, 2008.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM primarily generates business for all three of its product lines (mutual funds, separately
managed accounts, and private investment funds) through wholesaling to financial intermediaries,
including independent registered investment advisors, brokers, financial planners, investment
consultants and third party marketing firms.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM continues to develop institutional relationships for separately managed accounts primarily
through consultant relationships and database research screens. During 2009 and 2008, the Company
added additional resources to focus on further developing its relationships with institutional

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Also recognizing that the Company&#146;s primary responsibility is to investors in its Funds and its
separate account clients, the Company will continue to invest in its investment team and close
investment strategies to new investors when appropriate. In 2007, 2008, and 2009 the Company
substantially increased its equity investment team by growing the team from 17 at the end of 2006
to 31 at the end of 2009. Most of the additional investment team staff has been on the research
team, which now totals 17.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company believes that one of the most important characteristics exhibited by the best
investment firms is excellent investment returns for their clients over a long period of time. The
Company is pleased that during its history as an investment advisory firm, it has delivered what it
believes are excellent investment returns for its clients. However, the Company is mindful that if
it fails to do so in the future, its business growth will likely be negatively impacted. There are
certain additional business risks that may prevent the Company from achieving the above growth
prospects. These risks are detailed in Item&nbsp;1A.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM and Beacon Hill provide fund administration services to Diamond Hill Funds and other third
party mutual fund companies. Fund administration services are broadly defined as portfolio and
regulatory compliance, treasury and financial oversight, underwriting, and general oversight of
other back-office services
providers such as the custodian, fund accountant, and transfer agent. During the past three years,
there has been a continuing consolidation in the mutual fund servicing industry, whereby large
financial services firms purchased independent mutual fund service providers. These larger
financial services firms have made the decision not to offer statutory underwriting services to
mutual funds, due to regulatory and other business conflicts. This consolidation, along with a
growing desire for transparent and independent oversight of mutual fund financial reporting and
compliance program activities, has provided opportunities in the marketplace for the Company to
grow its fund administration services. During 2008, Beacon Hill completed the build out of its
infrastructure and began operations. During 2009, Beacon Hill continued to grow its client base.
The Company expects Beacon Hill to generate a profit in 2010.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Competition in the area of investment management services and mutual funds is intense, and the
Company&#146;s competitors include investment management firms, broker-dealers, banks and insurance
companies, some of whom offer various investment alternatives. Many competitors are better known
than the Company, offer a broader range of investment products and have more offices, employees and
sales representatives. The Company competes primarily on the basis of investment philosophy,
performance and customer service.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">DHCM is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 (the &#147;Advisers Act&#148;) and operates in a highly regulated environment. The
Advisers Act imposes numerous obligations on registered investment advisers, including fiduciary
duties, recordkeeping requirements, operational requirements and disclosure obligations. All
Diamond Hill Funds are registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and are
required to make notice filings with all states where it is offered for sale. Virtually all
aspects of the Company&#146;s investment management business are subject to various federal and state
laws and regulations. BHIL is registered with the SEC as a broker/dealer and is a member of the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (&#147;FINRA&#148;).
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Generally, these laws and regulations are intended to benefit shareholders of the funds and
separately managed account investment clients and grant supervisory agencies and bodies broad
administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict the Company from carrying on its
investment management and mutual fund underwriting business in the event that it fails to comply
with such laws and regulations. In such event, possible sanctions which may be imposed include the
suspension of individual employees, limitations on engaging in various activities for specified
periods of time, the revocation of broker-dealer or investment adviser registration, and other
censures or fines.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company is very dependent on its contractual relationships with the Funds. In the event the
Company&#146;s advisory or administration agreements with the Funds are terminated, not renewed, or
amended to reduce fees, the Company would be materially and adversely affected. Generally, these
agreements are terminable upon 60&nbsp;days written notice without penalty. The agreements are subject
to annual approval by either (i)&nbsp;the Board of Trustees of the Funds or (ii)&nbsp;a vote of the majority
of the outstanding voting securities of each Fund. The agreements shall also terminate in the
event of their assignment. The Company generated approximately 69%, 72% and 69% of its 2009, 2008
and 2007 revenues, respectively, from its advisory and administrative contracts with the Funds,
including 38% specifically from the advisory contract with the Diamond Hill Long-Short Fund. The
loss of this contract would have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company considers
its relationship with the Funds and their Board of Trustees to be good, and it has no reason to
believe that these advisory or administration contracts will not be renewed in the future; however,
there is no assurance that the Funds will choose to continue their relationships with the Company.

employees. As of December&nbsp;31, 2008, the comparable number was 57. The Company generally believes
that its relationship with its employees is good and does not anticipate any material change in the
number of employees.

information contained in this report, before making an investment decision regarding the Company&#146;s

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">If the Company fails to deliver excellent investment performance for its clients, both in the short

level of AUM.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">
Substantially all revenue for the Company is calculated as a percentage of AUM or is based on the
general performance of the equity securities market. A decline in securities prices (such as that
experienced during the last half of 2008 and first quarter of 2009) or in the sale of investment
products, or an increase in fund redemptions, generally would reduce fee income. Financial market
declines would generally negatively impact the level of the Company&#146;s AUM and consequently its
revenue and net income. A recession or other economic or political events could also adversely
impact the Company&#146;s revenue, if it led to a decreased demand for products, a higher redemption
rate, or a decline in securities prices.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><U>The Company&#146;s success depends on its key personnel, and its financial performance could be

analysts, and management, many of whom have specialized expertise and extensive experience in the
industry. Financial services professionals are in high demand, and the Company faces significant
competition for qualified employees. With the exception of the Chief Executive Officer, key
employees do not have employment contracts and generally can terminate their employment at any
time. The Company cannot assure that it will be able to retain or replace key personnel. In order
to retain or replace its key personnel, the Company may be required to increase compensation, which
would decrease net income. The loss of key personnel could damage the Company&#146;s reputation and make
it more difficult to retain and attract new employees and clients. Loss of client assets would
decrease the Company&#146;s revenues and net income, possibly materially.

investment advisory services primarily based upon its investment performance. Some institutions
have proprietary products and distribution channels that make it more difficult for the Company to
compete with them. If current or potential customers decide to use one of the Company&#146;s
competitors, the Company could face a significant decline in market share, AUM, revenues, and net
income. If the Company is required to lower its fees in order to remain competitive, its net income
could be significantly reduced because some of its expenses are fixed, especially over shorter
periods of time, and other expenses may not decrease in proportion to the decrease in revenues.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The following performance graph compares the total shareholder return of an investment in
Diamond Hill&#146;s Common Stock to that of the Russell Microcap<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</SUP> Index, and to a peer group
index of publicly traded asset management firms for the five-year period ending on December&nbsp;31,
2009. The graph assumes that the value of the investment in Diamond Hill&#146;s Common Stock and each
index was $100 on December&nbsp;31, 2004. Total return includes reinvestment of all dividends. According
to Russell, the Microcap<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM</SUP> Index makes up less than 3% of the U.S. equity market and is
a market-value-weighted index of the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000 Index
plus the next 1,000 smallest securities. Peer Group returns are weighted by the market
capitalization of each firm at the beginning of the measurement period. The historical information
set forth below is not necessarily indicative of future performance. Diamond Hill does not make or
endorse any predictions as to future stock performance.

<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 past three fiscal years 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="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s revenue is derived primarily from investment advisory and administration fees.
Investment advisory and administration fees paid to the Company are generally based 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. Performance
incentive fees are generally 20% of the amount of client annual investment performance in excess of
a specified hurdle. Because performance incentive fees are based primarily on the performance of
client accounts, they can be volatile from period to period. The Company&#146;s primary expense is
employee compensation and benefits.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Revenues are highly dependent on both the value and composition of AUM. The following is a summary
of the firm&#146;s AUM for each of the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2009, 2008, and 2007:

</DIV>


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


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Investment Advisory Fees. </B>The overall decrease of $3.4&nbsp;million in investment advisory was
primarily due to a shift in AUM composition from long-short strategies to long only strategies,
resulting in a lower average advisory fee. Investment advisory fees are generally calculated as a
percentage of average net AUM at various levels, depending on the investment product. The
Company&#146;s average advisory fee rate for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 was 0.76% compared to
0.81% for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. During 2009, the Long-Short Fund, which has a 0.90%
advisory fee, experienced cash outflows resulting in a decrease in assets of $366&nbsp;million. This
factor contributed to the decrease in the average advisory fee rate for 2009 compared to 2008.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration Fees. </B>Mutual fund administration fees were relatively flat year over
year. Fund administration revenue on the Company&#146;s sponsored Diamond Hill Funds decreased $825
thousand from 2008 to 2009, due in part to a 12% decrease in average AUM. This decrease in revenue
was offset by a $761 thousand increase in Beacon Hill&#146;s revenue from 2008 to 2009.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Investment Advisory Fees. </B>Investment advisory fees are generally calculated as a percentage of
average net AUM at various levels, depending on the investment product. The Company&#146;s average
advisory fee rate for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 was 0.81% compared to 0.83% for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2007. Effective June&nbsp;30, 2008, the Diamond Hill Long-Short Fund, which has a
0.90% advisory fee, was closed to new investors. As a result, there was a decrease in the cash
flows into that fund during the second half of 2008. In addition, there were cash outflows from the
Long-Short Fund during the second half of the year, resulting in a decrease in assets for that Fund
of 26%. These factors contributed to the slight decrease in the average advisory fee rate for 2008
compared to 2007. The overall increase in investment advisory fees year over year was primarily
due to an increase in AUM throughout 2008. Despite the modest increase in AUM from $4.4&nbsp;billion at
December&nbsp;31, 2007 to $4.5&nbsp;billion at December&nbsp;31, 2008, average AUM for the entire year was
approximately $4.9&nbsp;billion, which was the primary driver of the increase in investment advisory
fees in 2008 compared to 2007.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Mutual Fund Administration Fees. </B>Mutual fund administration fees are calculated as a percentage of
average net assets under administration in the Diamond Hill Funds. The Company earns 0.30% 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 lowered its
administration fees each of the last four years to pass on those economies of scale to Fund
shareholders. Despite these fee reductions, fund
administration revenues increased by $185 thousand over 2007, due to the increase in assets under
administration.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Compensation and Related Costs. </B>Employee compensation and benefits decreased by $2&nbsp;million,
or 8%, in 2009, primarily due to a decrease of $2.6&nbsp;million in restricted stock expense due to an
overall decrease in the total amount of long-term equity awards outstanding in 2009 compared to
2008, partially offset by an increase in base salaries and related benefits of $1.3&nbsp;million, due to
a 16% increase in employee headcount. Incentive compensation decreased $700 thousand in 2009
compared to 2008.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>General and Administrative. </B>General and administrative expenses increased by $490 thousand, or

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Sales and Marketing. </B>Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $45 thousand, or 6%, during 2009.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Third Party Distribution. </B>Third party distribution expense represents payments made to third party
intermediaries directly related to sales made by those parties of the Company&#146;s investment
products. This expense directly correlates with level of sales and AUM in these investment

decrease in investment advisory fees earned by the Company.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Compensation and Related Costs. </B>Employee compensation and benefits increased by $6.1
million, or 31%, in 2008, primarily due to a 36% increase in the number of staff, long-term equity
awards, and the accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock awards.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Incentive compensation for 2008 totaled $13&nbsp;million, which represented an increase of $550
thousand, or 4%, from 2007. Under the Company&#146;s 2006 Performance Based Compensation Plan, the
compensation committee of the board of directors established annual operating profit margin (OPM)
targets to be used to determine the amount of the incentive pool and officer awards. For 2008, the
OPM target was approximately 35% based on actual revenue of approximately $47&nbsp;million. Under the
plan, the operating results of Beacon Hill are excluded from this determination. After
consideration of a number of factors, management
recommended, and the compensation committee approved, a reduction of the OPM for 2008 to 32.3%,
which increased the incentive pool by approximately $1.3&nbsp;million and reduced the incentive awards
made to officers by 10.4%. Management felt that certain unusual expenses, particularly the impact
of accelerated vesting for non-officer restricted stock awards from 2009 to 2008, resulted in a
pool that was inadequate. The accelerated vesting increased compensation expense by approximately
$1&nbsp;million and was done in part to generate a $6.7&nbsp;million tax deduction, which reduced the
company&#146;s tax liability for 2008 and also contributed towards generating sufficient negative tax
earnings and profits for 2008 such that the character of the special cash dividend paid in the
fourth quarter was 100% return of capital.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>General and Administrative. </B>General and administrative expenses decreased by $16 thousand, or 1%.
During 2007, the Company experienced a $452 thousand loss due to a trading error causing an
increase in the general and administrative expenses during that period. Excluding the trading
error, general and administrative expenses increased by $436 thousand, or 19%, period over period
to support the continued growth of the Company.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Sales and Marketing. </B>Sales and marketing expenses increased by $164 thousand, or 26%, during
2008. This increase is commensurate with the increase in investment advisory revenue and was
primarily due to increased expense related to marketing materials and additional travel expense
incurred related to new business attained during the year.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Third Party Distribution. </B>Third party distribution expense represents payments made to third party
intermediaries directly related to sales made by those parties of the Company&#146;s investment
products. 94% and 99% of this expense in 2008 and 2007, respectively, was related to client
investments in the Company&#146;s private investment funds. The remainder represented payments related
to sales in the Company&#146;s mutual fund products. 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 expenses decreased by $141 thousand during
2008. A large portion of mutual fund administration expense is calculated based on a percent of
assets under administration in the Diamond Hill Funds. Despite the increase in mutual fund assets
under administration in 2008 compared to 2007, the decrease was attributable to a renegotiation 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 align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2008 was due to significant deterioration in the
overall market in the fourth quarter of 2008, which caused an 18.7% decrease in AUM in the fourth
quarter of 2008 compared to third quarter 2008. This decrease in AUM had a direct correlation with
the decrease in revenue during the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to third quarter 2008, as
revenue is generated based upon AUM. In addition, the corporate investment portfolio had a net loss
of $4.1&nbsp;million in fourth quarter 2008, which further contributed to the decrease in net income for
the quarter ended December&nbsp;31, 2008.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The following table presents a summary of the Company&#146;s future obligations under the terms
of an operating lease and other contractual purchase obligations at December&nbsp;31, 2009. Other
purchase obligations include contractual amounts that will be due for the purchase of services to
be used in the Company&#146;s operations such as mutual fund sub-administration and portfolio accounting
software. These obligations may be cancelable at earlier times than those indicated and, under
certain conditions, may involve termination fees. Because these obligations are of a normal
recurring nature, the Company expects that it will fund them from future cash flows from
operations. The information presented does not include operating expenses or capital expenditures
that will be committed in the normal course of operations in 2010 and future years:

</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;. Management uses these performance measures 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 the market impact on the investment portfolio
can fluctuate significantly from one period to another. These fluctuations 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.

the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and
assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity&#146;s financial
statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized in the Company&#146;s financial statements or tax returns.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><I>Revenue Recognition on Incentive-Based Advisory Contracts. </I>The Company has certain investment
advisory contracts in which a portion of the fees are based on investment performance achieved in
the respective client portfolio in excess of a specified hurdle rate. 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 year. Under &#147;Method 2,&#148; 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 the more conservative
Method 1, in which performance fees are recorded at the end of the contract period provided for by
the contract terms.

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
expenses, as it is the appropriate accounting treatment for this agency relationship.

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

December&nbsp;31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control &#150; Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management is
responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audits.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">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 audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and
whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinions.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">A company&#146;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. A
company&#146;s 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)&nbsp;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)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.

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

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of
December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December&nbsp;31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Diamond Hill Investment
Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control &#150; Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

net income primarily from investment advisory and fund administration services that it provides to
individual and institutional investors. The Company has four operating subsidiaries.

</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. Certain prior year amounts and disclosures have
been reclassified to conform to the current year financial presentation. Book value per share is
computed by dividing total shareholders&#146; equity by the number of shares issued and outstanding at
the end of the measurement period. 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 in one business segment, namely providing
investment management and administration services to mutual funds, separate accounts, and private
investment funds. Therefore, no disclosures relating to operating segments are required in annual
or interim financial statements.
</DIV>

</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 December&nbsp;31, 2009 and 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 December&nbsp;31, 2009, $4,108,170 and $12,321,797 in Company investments
are valued based upon Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, respectively. At December&nbsp;31, 2008, $5,923,202
and $11,262,409 in Company investments are valued based upon Level 1 and Level 2 inputs,
respectively.

<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">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>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Furniture and equipment, consisting of computer equipment, furniture, and fixtures, is 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">The Company earns substantially all of its revenue from investment advisory 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 Funds, 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. Effective April&nbsp;30, 2009, the fee for administrative
services was increased from 0.30% to 0.34% 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, federal and state registrations, legal and
audit. 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 expenses, as it is the appropriate accounting treatment for
this agency relationship. In addition, DHCM finances the upfront 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
repayments DHCM receives from the principal underwriter to recoup this commission advancement.

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

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

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
2005 Plan authorizes the issuance of Common Shares of the Company in various forms of stock or
option grants. As of December&nbsp;31, 2009 there were 394,358 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 2005 Plan, which vest over time, are recorded as deferred compensation in the equity
section of the balance sheet on grant date and then recognized as compensation expense based on
the grant date price over the vesting period of the respective grant.

2008. This acceleration resulted in additional compensation expense of $1.0&nbsp;million in the fourth
quarter of 2008 that otherwise would have been recorded in the first and second quarters of 2009.
In addition, as a result of this acceleration, the Company received a $6.3&nbsp;million tax deduction

not contain any limits on the Company&#146;s liability and would involve future claims that may be made
