               DCAP Group, Inc. Reports 436% Increase in Operating
                               Earnings over 2002
                   Second Quarter Operating Income of $329,578

Hewlett,  NY--August 7, 2003 - DCAP Group,  Inc. (OTC BB: DCAP.OB),  the largest
chain of storefront  insurance  agencies in the  Northeast,  today  reported its
results for the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

Company highlights for the second quarter include:

     o    Second quarter revenue of $1,904,042 versus $592,141 one year ago,
     o    Operating income for the second quarter of $329,578 versus $61,441 one
          year ago,
     o    Insurance  segment  profit for the six months  ended June 30,  2003 at
          $626,487 versus a loss of $41,120 for the six-month  period ended June
          30, 2002,
     o    Premium  Finance  segment  profit of $525,266 for the six months ended
          June 30, 2003 versus $304,984 for the six-month  period ended June 30,
          2002.

The  Company  reported  second  quarter  2003 net income of $307,898 or $.02 per
diluted  share  compared to second  quarter 2002 earnings of $58,969 or $.01 per
diluted  share.   (The  results  from  2002  include  income  from  discontinued
operations of $12,669).

"We are pleased to report an increase to our  earnings of over 400%," said Barry
B. Goldstein,  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our strategic acquisitions
of the Barry Scott  Agencies and Atlantic  Insurance  Agency have  increased our
geographic distribution and allowed us to grow our revenue base."

On July 14, 2003 DCAP ceased doing premium finance business with Flatiron Credit
Company,   Inc.  Now  utilizing   the  $18  million   credit  line  supplied  by
Manufacturers  and  Traders  Trust  Company  along with the  proceeds  of a $3.5
million  private  placement of subordinated  debt,  Payments Inc., the Company's
wholly owned premium  finance  subsidiary,  now acts as a true  principal in the
premium finance business.

"Prior to July 14, 2003 we received a fee, and  recorded our revenue  during the
month in which a loan was  originated.  Essentially,  we were a loan  broker  to
Flatiron.  The fee  received  was  approximately  1.4% of the  loan  amount.  We
recorded no other revenue from those loans,  took no risk on such loans,  and we
were not responsible for the servicing of the portfolio," Goldstein stated.

"Going forward we will record these loans on our balance  sheet,  will recognize
interest  income over the period of time the loan is  outstanding,  and will now
receive the loan fees and late  charges.  We will also  recognize  financing and
servicing expenses, where in the past we had none. Since the Flatiron payment we
received  was greater  than the first few months'  interest due on the loan less
operating  expenses,  we will  experience  a decline in premium  finance  income
during the third and fourth quarters of 2003. However, at

current  origination  levels,  our overall premium finance revenue going forward
will be higher, and this will manifest itself through a growing balance sheet as
our loan portfolio builds to what we anticipate to be $23-25 million by year-end
2003," Goldstein stated.
