</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 period amounts and disclosures
have been reclassified to conform to the current period 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 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 March&nbsp;31, 2010 or December&nbsp;31, 2009.

<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 March&nbsp;31, 2010, $4,292,754 and $12,369,076 in Company investments are
valued based upon Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, respectively. 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.
Level 1 investments are all registered investment companies (mutual funds). Level 2 investments
are all limited partnerships.

Income as investment return.

DHCM, in its role as managing member of the General Partner, has
the power to direct the Partnerships&#146; economic activities and the right to
receive investment advisory and performance incentive fees that are significant
to the Partnerships. The Partnerships are subject to investment company
accounting and, as a result, they have not been consolidated in presenting the
accompanying financial statements. DHCM&#146;s investments in these partnerships are
reported as a component of the Company&#146;s investment portfolio, valued at DHCM&#146;s
proportionate interest in the net asset value of the marketable securities held
by the Partnerships. Gains and losses attributable to changes in value of the
DHCM&#146;s interests in the Partnerships are included in the Company&#146;s reported
investment return.</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">
The Company&#146;s exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with
the Partnerships is limited to the amount of its investments. DHCM is not
obligated to provide financial or other support to the Partnerships, other than
its investments to date and its contractually provided investment advisory
responsibilities, and has not provided such support. The Company has not
provided liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments to support the
Partnerships&#146; operations, and the Partnerships&#146; creditors and interest holders
have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

<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. Prior to April&nbsp;30, 2009,
the fee for administrative services was 0.30% for Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares and 0.18% for Class&nbsp;I
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 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
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.

under the 2005 Plan, which vest over time, are recorded as deferred compensation in the equity

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.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Throughout this Form 10-Q, the Company 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 public documents on file with the SEC.

</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company, 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 underwriting 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 month periods ending March&nbsp;31, 2010 and 2009 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, 2009. 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 month period ended March
31, 2010, 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.
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.

months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010, compared with net income of $351,371 ($0.14 per diluted share) for the
three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009. Net income increased $2.3&nbsp;million due primarily to a positive
return on the Company&#146;s corporate investment portfolio of $245 thousand for the three months ended
March&nbsp;31, 2010 compared to a negative return on the Company&#146;s corporate investment portfolio of
$1.6&nbsp;million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009. Excluding the corporate investment return,
net operating income after tax increased $1.1&nbsp;million, or 81%, for the period primarily due to a
76% increase in AUM for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 compared to March&nbsp;31, 2009.

quarter of 2009 where investment advisory fees accounted for 88% and mutual fund administration
fees accounted for the remaining 12% of revenues.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Investment Advisory Fees. </B>Investment advisory fees increased by $3.7&nbsp;million, or 47%, due to a 76%
increase in AUM for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 compared to March&nbsp;31, 2009. 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 March&nbsp;31,
2010 was 0.71% compared to 0.76% for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009. The decrease in the
average advisory fee rate is due to an overall change in the composition of AUM where long-short
strategies, which pay a higher advisory fee, made up 35% of total AUM as of March&nbsp;31, 2010 compared
to 49% of total AUM as of March&nbsp;31, 2009 while long only strategies, which have a lower advisory
fee, made up 50% of total AUM as of March&nbsp;31, 2010 compared to only 36% of total AUM as of March
31, 2009.

decreased from 0.34% to 0.30% on Class&nbsp;A and Class&nbsp;C shares and decreased from 0.20% to 0.19% for

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Compensation and Related Costs. </B>Employee compensation and benefits increased $2.6&nbsp;million,
or 51%, during the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 compared to the same period a year ago,
primarily due to an increase of $2.2&nbsp;million in incentive compensation during the period as a
result of a 76% increase in AUM and the associated revenue increase. Further contributors to the
overall increase in compensation expense were restricted stock expense, which increased by $124
thousand due to an overall increase in the total amount of long-term equity awards outstanding in
2010 compared to 2009, and base salaries and related benefits, which increased by $217 thousand due
to increased employee headcount.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>General and Administrative. </B>General and administrative expenses increased by $165 thousand, or
26%, period over period. This increase is primarily due to additional research expenses to support
the Company&#146;s investment team, expansion of the Company&#146;s office space, and additional legal costs
incurred during the quarter, partially offset by a decrease in trading error expense and Ohio
franchise expense.
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Sales and Marketing. </B>Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $7 thousand, or 5%. This decrease
was primarily due to a $20 thousand decrease in one time website development expenses incurred
during first quarter of 2009 offset by a $13 thousand increase in travel and sales related expenses
during first quarter 2010.
</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 $105 thousand, or 18%,
period over period. The majority of mutual fund administration fees are variable based on the
amount of
mutual fund AUM. Despite an overall increase in mutual fund AUM of $1.3&nbsp;billion, or 50%, during
the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2010 compared to March&nbsp;31, 2009, the decrease in mutual fund
administration expenses is primarily due to a third party service provider fee reduction related to
bringing certain administration activities in-house.

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The Company&#146;s entire investment portfolio is in readily marketable securities, which provide
for cash liquidity, if needed. Investments in mutual funds are valued at their quoted current net
asset value. Investments in private investment funds are valued independently 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 March&nbsp;31, 2010, the Company had working capital of approximately $29.2&nbsp;million compared to
$20.5&nbsp;million at December&nbsp;31, 2009. 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 2010.
</DIV>


<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
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>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Use of Supplemental Data as Non-GAAP Performance Measure<BR>
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.
