ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
(a) Business Development
 
General
 
We operate two lines of business:
 
·  
franchising, ownership and operation of storefront insurance agencies under the DCAP, Barry Scott, Atlantic Insurance and Accurate Agency brand names
 
·  
premium financing of insurance policies for our DCAP, Barry Scott, Atlantic Insurance and Accurate Agency clients as well as clients of non-affiliated entities
 
Our business strategy anticipates the utilization and expansion of our distribution network and delivery of insurance-related services through this network. Pursuant to this strategy, we have
 
·  
granted franchises for the use of the DCAP trade name
 
·  
sold our interest in a number of storefronts but retained them as DCAP franchises
 
·  
as discussed below, purchased the assets of Accurate Agency, Inc. (and related entities), which has five store locations and operate, under the Accurate Agency brand name
 
·  
changed our business model with respect to our premium finance operations from selling finance contracts to third parties to internally financing those contracts
 
Recent Developments
 
The following developments have occurred since January 1, 2007:
 
·  
Effective March 23, 2007, the holders of approximately $1,385,000 outstanding principal amount of our subordinated debt agreed to extend the maturity date of the debt from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008. In consideration for the extension of the due date of the subordinated debt, we extended the expiration date of warrants held by the debtholders for the purchase of 90,000 of our common shares from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008. See Item 12 of this Annual Report.
 
·  
Effective March 23, 2007, the holder of our Series A preferred shares exchanged such shares for an equal number of Series B preferred shares. The terms of the Series B preferred shares are identical to those of the Series A preferred shares, except that they are mandatorily redeemable on April 30, 2008 (as opposed to April 30, 2007 for the Series A preferred shares). See Item 12 of this Annual Report.
 
·  
On February 2, 2007, Robert Wallach resigned as a director.
 
2
 
·  
In March 2007, Commercial Mutual Insurance Company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution to convert Commercial Mutual from an advance premium insurance company to a stock property and casualty insurance company. We hold surplus notes of Commercial Mutual in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000. In the event the conversion occurs, we may be able to convert such notes into a controlling equity interest in Commercial Mutual. See Items 1(b) and 6 of this Annual Report.
 
Developments During 2006
 
The following material events occurred during 2006:
 
·  
On January 31, 2006, we purchased from Eagle Insurance Company two surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual Insurance Company in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000 plus accrued interest of $1,794,688. Commercial Mutual is a New York property and casualty insurer. Eagle is a New Jersey property and casualty insurer that is being operated by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance pursuant to an Order of Rehabilitation. Eagle owns approximately 10% of our outstanding common shares. See Items 1(b), 6, 11 and 12 of this Annual Report.
 
·  
On July 28, 2006, we and our premium finance subsidiary, Payments Inc., entered into a new revolving line of credit with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T”), which provides for a decrease in the credit line to $20,000,000 and the elimination of M&T’s agreement to arrange an additional $10,000,000 credit facility with other lenders on a “best efforts” basis (see “Developments During 2004” below). The new revolver bears interest, at our option, at either M&T’s prime lending rate (8.25% at December 31, 2006) or LIBOR (5.35% at December 31, 2006) plus 2.25%, and matures on June 30, 2008. The line of credit also allows for a $2,500,000 term loan (of the $20,000,000 credit line availability) to be used to provide liquidity for ongoing working capital purposes. Any draws against the term line bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. Concurrently with the obtaining of the new credit line, we borrowed $1,300,000 as a draw against the term line. See Items 6 and 7 of this Annual Report.
 
Developments During 2005
 
The following material events occurred during 2005:
 
·  
During 2005, we utilized our line of credit with M&T to repay an aggregate of $2,000,000 of our $3,500,000 subordinated debt.
 
·  
Effective May 25, 2005, the holders of the remaining $1,500,000 outstanding principal amount of our subordinated debt agreed to extend the maturity date of the debt from January 10, 2006 to September 30, 2007. This extension was given to satisfy a requirement of M&T that arose in connection with the increase in our revolving line of credit to $25,000,000 and the extension of the line to June 30, 2007, as described under “Developments During 2004” below. In consideration for the extension of the due date of the subordinated debt, we extended the expiration date of warrants held by the debtholders for the purchase of 97,500 of our common shares from January 10, 2006 to September 30, 2007.
 

3
 
 
·  
On November 15, 2005, we entered into an agreement for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Accurate Agency, Inc., Louisons Associates Limited and Accurate Agency of Western New York, Inc., insurance brokerage firms with a total of four offices located in and around Rochester, New York that operate under the Accurate Agency brand. The transaction was consummated effective as of January 1, 2006. The acquisition is part of our strategy to expand our operations into other regions of New York State.
 
Developments During 2004
 
The following material events occurred during 2004:
 
·  
Effective August 26, 2004, we effected a one-for-five reverse split of our common shares.
 
·  
On October 7, 2004, our common shares began trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market (formerly called The NASDAQ Small Cap Market).
 
·  
In December 2004, we increased our premium finance line of credit with M&T from $18,000,000 to $25,000,000 and extended the term of the line to June 30, 2007. Subject to certain conditions, M&T agreed to arrange an additional $10,000,000 credit facility with other lenders on a “best efforts” basis. The terms of the new line of credit agreement were similar to our previous line of credit agreement with M&T, except that the interest rate was reduced from M&T’s prime lending rate plus 1.5% to, at our option, either (i) M&T’s prime lending rate or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.5%, and the amount that we could borrow was raised from 80% to 85% of eligible premium finance receivables.
 
(b)
Business of Issuer
 
General
 
Our storefront locations serve as insurance agents or brokers and place various types of insurance on behalf of customers. We focus on automobile, motorcycle and homeowners insurance and our customer base is primarily individuals rather than businesses.
 
There are 70 store locations owned or franchised by us of which 65 are located in New York State. In the New York metropolitan area, there are 43 DCAP franchises. There are also 17 Barry Scott locations and five Accurate Agency locations outside the New York metropolitan area (all located in central and western New York State). There are five Atlantic Insurance locations in eastern Pennsylvania. All of the Barry Scott, Atlantic Insurance and Accurate Agency locations are wholly-owned by us.

4
 
 
The stores receive commissions from insurance companies for their services. We receive fees from the franchised locations in connection with their use of the DCAP name. Neither we nor the stores currently serve as an insurance company and therefore do not assume underwriting risks; however, as discussed below under “Commercial Mutual Insurance Company”, Commercial Mutual is seeking to convert from an advance premium insurance company to a stock property and casualty insurance company. In the event of such conversion, the surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual and held by us may be converted into a controlling equity interest in Commercial Mutual.
 
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Payments Inc., we provide insurance premium financing services to our DCAP, Barry Scott, Atlantic Insurance and Accurate Agency locations as well as non-affiliated insurance agencies. Payments Inc. is licensed as an insurance premium finance agency in the states of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
 
We also offer automobile club services for roadside emergencies. Income tax preparation services are also offered in connection with the franchise operation of the DCAP stores.
 
We were incorporated in 1961 and assumed our current name in 1999.
 
Our executive offices are located at 1158 Broadway, Hewlett, New York 11557; our telephone number is (516) 374-7600 and our fax number is (516) 295-7216.
 
Insurance Agencies
 
Insurance Brokerage
 
Our storefront agencies deal primarily with the insurance needs of individuals. In the states in which we operate, all automobile owners must secure liability insurance coverage. We provide various choices to the insured depending on market conditions.
 
Our agencies currently operate under the DCAP, Barry Scott, Atlantic Insurance and Accurate Agency brand names. During 2006, we began the transition, planned to take two to three years, to change all store names to DCAP.
 
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 90% of our insurance revenues were derived from commissions and other fees received in connection with the selling of automobile and other property and casualty insurance policies.
 
In addition to automobile insurance, we offer:
 
·  
property and casualty insurance for motorcycles, boats and livery/taxis
·  
life insurance

5
 
 

·  
business insurance
·  
homeowner’s insurance
·  
excess coverage
 
We have obtained the right to receive calls placed to “1-800-INSURANCE” in the states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania (except for one area code in Pennsylvania) and “1-800-LOWEST-1” on a nationwide basis as a way to increase our insurance brokerage business.
 
Franchises
 
An important part of our strategy has been to increase our name recognition. We decided that granting others DCAP franchises is an important step in achieving this goal.
 
Franchisees currently pay us an initial franchise fee of $25,000 to offer insurance products under the DCAP name. Franchisees are obligated to also pay us monthly fees during the term of the franchise agreement, generally commencing after a six to twelve month period from the date on which the storefront opens for business. Initial franchise fees and monthly fees payable by franchisees constituted approximately 1% and 8%, respectively, of our insurance revenues during the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Automobile Club
 
As a complement to our automobile insurance operations, we offer automobile club services for roadside emergencies. We offer memberships for such services, and we make arrangements with towing dispatch companies to fulfill service call requirements.
 
During fiscal 2006, fees received in connection with automobile club services constituted approximately 1% of our insurance revenues.
 
Internet
 
During fiscal 2006, we developed a website (www.dcapagents.com), a secure site for use by personnel of our company-owned stores as well as our franchises.  Incorporated within the website are tools for managing the location’s business, including comparative quoting, lead generation and tracking. 
 
Policy placement generates commission revenue.  Since policy sales can be measured as they relate to the number of inquiries or leads, increased marketing  will result in more leads.  During fiscal 2006, we developed a plan to generate more leads by increasing our presence on the Internet through Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, and lead procurement through contracting with third party lead aggregators.  Our websites, including www.dcapinsurance.com, now offer the prospective insured the opportunity to provide us the needed information in the very same manner as provided face to face or over the telephone.  With the information provided, we can give multiple quotes to the prospect as well as track the status of the lead from the moment it is received.   
 
6
 
Income Tax Return Preparation
 
A number of our franchise locations provide income tax return preparation services. The tax return preparation service allows them to offer an additional service to the walk-in customers who comprise the bulk of their customer base, as well as to existing customers. We have also obtained the right to receive calls placed to “1-800-INCOME TAX” in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania as a way to increase our franchisees’ tax preparation business.
 
Structure and Operations
 
As stated above, we currently have 70 offices, of which 43 are franchises, and 27 are wholly-owned. Our franchises consist of both “conversion” and “startup” operations. In a conversion operation, an existing insurance brokerage with an established business becomes a DCAP office. In a startup operation, an entrepreneur begins operations as a DCAP office. Our wholly-owned offices are managed by our employees; each franchise is managed by or under the supervision of the franchisee.
 
In order to promote consistency and efficiency, and as a service to our franchises, we offer training to office managers. Our training program covers:
 
·  
marketing, sales and underwriting
·  
office and logistics
·  
computer information
 
We provide the administrative services and functions of a “central office” to our wholly-owned offices. The services provided to these storefront offices are:
 
·  
sales training
·  
bookkeeping and accounting
·  
processing services
 
Franchises operate without the assistance of our “central office” services.
 
We also provide support services to stores such as:
 
·  
assistance with regard to the hiring of employees
·  
assistance with regard to the writing of local advertising
·  
advice regarding potential carriers for certain customers
 
We also manage the cooperative advertising program in which all of our offices participate.
 
In addition to the above services, we provide to all of our offices a direct business relationship with nationally-known and local insurance carriers that may otherwise be beyond the reach of small, privately-owned retail insurance operations.
 
In 2007, we obtained a new agency software system, AMS 360, that is used in connection with the management and operations of our stores. We intend to begin to utilize the new system in our wholly-owned offices during April 2007 and expect that it will be fully implemented at such locations by June 2007. We also intend to offer the new system to our franchisees.

Premium Financing
 
Customers who purchase insurance policies are often unable to pay the premium in a lump sum and, therefore, require extended payment terms. Premium finance involves making a loan to the customer that is secured by the unearned portion of the insurance premiums being financed and held by the insurance carrier. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Payments Inc., is licensed as a premium finance agency in the states of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
 
In a typical premium finance arrangement, we lend the amount of the premium (minus the customer’s down payment) to the customer and pay it to the insurance company on behalf of the customer. The customer makes periodic payments to us over the term of the finance agreement (generally nine to ten months). We strive to design our payment plans so that the balance of the principal of the loan is at all times less than the amount of the unearned portion of the insurance premiums being financed, which backs the loan. We also seek to mitigate risk by acting on a timely basis to request cancellation of the policy if the policyholder defaults on his or her obligation to repay the premium finance loan.
 
If the policy is cancelled before its term expires, the policyholder has a right to receive a return of the unearned premium. Under our premium finance agreement, the policyholder assigns this right to us to secure his or her obligations under the loan. If the policyholder fails to make a payment, we have the right to request that the insurance company cancel the policy and pay to us the amount of any unearned premium on the policy. If the amount of unearned premium exceeds the balance due on the loan plus any interest and applicable fees owed by the policyholder to us, we return the excess amount to the policyholder in accordance with applicable law.
 
The regulatory framework under which our premium finance procedures are established is generally set forth in the premium finance statutes of the states in which we operate. Among other restrictions, the interest rate we may charge our customers for financing their premiums is limited by these state statutes. See “Government Regulation.”
 
Reference is made to Items 1(a) and 6 of this Annual Report for a discussion of the line of credit and subordinated debt that we utilize in connection with our premium finance operations.
 
Commercial Mutual Insurance Company
 
In March 2007, Commercial Mutual Insurance Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to convert Commercial Mutual from an advance premium insurance company to a stock property and casualty insurance company pursuant to Section 7307 of the New York Insurance Law. Commercial Mutual has advised us that it has obtained permission from the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York to proceed with the conversion process (subject to certain conditions as discussed below).

8
 
As discussed in Item 1(a) hereof, we hold two surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000. Previously earned but unpaid interest on the notes as of December 31, 2006 was approximately $1,821,250. The surplus notes are past due and provide for interest at the prime rate or 8.5% per annum, whichever is less. Payments of principal and interest on the surplus notes may only be made out of the surplus of Commercial Mutual and require the approval of the Insurance Department of the State of New York. As of December 31, 2006, the statutory surplus of Commercial Mutual, as reported to the Insurance Department, was approximately $4,965,000.
 
The conversion by Commercial Mutual to a stock property and casualty insurance company is subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the plan of conversion by the Superintendent of Insurance and Commercial Mutual’s policyholders. As part of the approval process, the Superintendent of Insurance is required to have an appraisal performed with respect to the fair market value of Commercial Mutual. Such appraisal is to be based upon Commercial Mutual’s latest filings with the Insurance Department and any significant subsequent developments and is to consider the assets and liabilities of Commercial Mutual and any other factors bearing on its value. We, as a holder of the Commercial Mutual surplus notes, at our option, would be able to exchange the surplus notes for an equitable share of the securities or other consideration, or both, of the corporation into which Commercial Mutual would be converted. Based upon the amount payable on the surplus notes and the statutory surplus of Commercial Mutual, we believe that, following any conversion by Commercial Mutual into a stock corporation, we could hold a controlling equity interest in Commercial Mutual. No assurances can be given that the conversion will occur.
 
Strategy
 
In order to achieve our goal of utilizing and expanding our distribution network and delivering insurance-related services through this network, we currently have the following five-pronged business strategy:
 
·  
promote franchise sales by providing proprietary products and services that may not be available elsewhere
 
·  
acquire storefront agencies in New York State in order to expand our geographical footprint
 
·  
increase the size of our premium finance business, both within and outside the DCAP storefronts
 
·  
seek to increase commission revenue through Internet marketing
 
·  
seek to expand our operations by acquiring businesses or other assets, or providing new services such as insurance underwriting through Commercial Mutual, which we believe will complement or enhance our business
 
In seeking to promote franchise sales, we pursue increased name recognition through the establishment of additional DCAP storefront sites (both conversion and start-up types) and increased marketing activities. In addition, our cooperative advertising program will continue to use the aggregated buying power of the DCAP, Barry Scott, Atlantic Insurance and Accurate Agency offices to advertise on the Internet, and through radio, telephone directories and other media.

9
 
We utilize toll-free telephone numbers to increase business. Telephone calls received are routed to the DCAP, Barry Scott, Atlantic Insurance or Accurate Agency office nearest the call (based on the zip code of the caller) for handling. We are promoting “1-800-INSURANCE” in our current markets and intend to utilize such number in the future as our market expands.
 
During 2007, we will continue to seek to acquire additional locations in order to further capitalize on existing proprietary services and relationships with carriers as well as to increase premium finance business.
 
As indicated above, one of our strategies involves the growth of our premium finance business. Until mid-2003, as the number of insurance companies participating voluntarily in the New York non-standard automobile insurance market declined, fewer policies were written on a voluntary basis and there was an offsetting increase in the size of the involuntary or “assigned risk” market. The New York Auto Insurance Plan (“NYAIP”), which provides coverage for “assigned risk” drivers, provides for limited finance options. Unless the insured can either pay the entire premium at policy inception, or can provide a large down payment and be capable of paying the balance over a short period of time, there is a need for premium financing. Our premium finance subsidiary, Payments Inc., offers the insured a reduced down payment and the ability to spread the balance over a period of up to ten months.
 
Since mid-2003, as a result of rate increases for NYAIP policies, and the relaxation in underwriting standards by voluntary carriers, the size of the voluntary non-standard market has been increasing and the NYAIP market has declined. Although NYAIP premiums continued to rise until August 2004, the decline in the NYAIP market has led us to seek non-NYAIP premium financing business. Beginning in late 2004, we began to provide premium financing on some policies written in the voluntary market.
 
During the last several years, we have seen a shift away from telephone inquiries from prospective insureds.  Much of this can be attributed to the growth in the direct-to-consumer sales model of certain insurance companies.  To reach those “direct” companies, a consumer can call or use the company’s website.  It should be noted that these “direct” carriers give the consumer a single quote, one that relates only to that particular carrier.  We are redirecting our marketing efforts to place more emphasis on the Internet and less on telephone directory advertising.
 
We have decided upon a strategy to capitalize on the change in shopping methods.  We have built consumer-oriented websites to allow prospective insureds to receive rate quotes from our company-owned and franchised locations.  We have licensed software that enables us to give the prospect multiple quotes from multiple carriers based on one set of data.  We have built a tracking and follow up system to monitor the progress of an inquiry to a quote to a status report to a sale or non-sale.  We have been testing this system for the past several months and are refining and changing it as needed.  We believe that, as more consumers use the Internet for shopping, our efforts will result in a greater number of policy sales.

10
 
Our final strategy involves the expansion of our operations into complementary areas. We continually explore such opportunities as a means to enhance our business. Complimentary insurance products, including different or enhanced coverages, and other financial products (such as mortgages) are being considered. Our acquisition of the surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual has allowed for an enhanced relationship between us and a licensed property and casualty insurer. Commercial Mutual offers coverages in New York State which can be sold through the DCAP, Barry Scott and Accurate networks. Commercial Mutual currently sells homeowners insurance, commercial automobile insurance and various physical damage coverages and plans to offer other coverages including private passenger auto liability, umbrella and business owner insurance. As discussed under “Commercial Mutual Insurance Company” above, in the event Commercial Mutual converts from an advance premium insurance company to a stock property and casualty insurance company, the surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual and held by us may be converted into a controlling equity interest in Commercial Mutual.
 
Competition
 
We compete with numerous insurance agents and brokers in our market. The amount of capital required to commence operations is generally small and the only material barrier to entry is the ability to obtain the required licenses and appointments as a broker or agent for insurance carriers. There is no price competition between us and other agents and brokers. All must sell a particular carrier’s policies at exactly the same price. Because we may be able to offer a different payment plan through premium financing, we are able to differentiate ourselves.
 
In recent years, extensive competition has come from direct sales entities, such as Progressive Direct, Esurance and GEICO Insurance, who have concentrated their advertising efforts on television and radio. In addition, the Internet sales effort of some of our competitors has shown promise. Further, legislation that allows banks to offer insurance to their customers has taken market share from the storefront insurance operators.
 
Our premium finance operation competes with many other companies that have been in business longer than we have, and have long term relationships with their insurance agency clients.
 
Government Regulation 
 
Our premium finance subsidiary, Payments Inc., is regulated by governmental agencies in the states in which it conducts business. The regulations, which generally are designed to protect the interests of policyholders who elect to finance their insurance premiums, vary by jurisdiction, but usually, among other matters, involve:
 
·  
regulating the interest rates, fees and service charges we may charge our customers
 
11
 
·  
imposing minimum capital requirements for our premium finance subsidiary or requiring surety bonds in addition to or as an alternative to such capital requirements
 
·  
governing the form and content of our financing agreements
 
·  
prescribing minimum notice and cure periods before we may cancel a customer’s policy for non-payment under the terms of the financing agreement
 
·  
prescribing timing and notice procedures for collecting unearned premium from the insurance company, applying the unearned premium to our customer’s premium finance account, and, if applicable, returning any refund due to our customer
 
·  
requiring our premium finance company to qualify for and obtain a license and to renew the license each year
 
·  
conducting periodic financial and market conduct examinations and investigations of our premium finance company and its operations
 
·  
requiring prior notice to the regulating agency of any change of control of our premium finance company

Holders
 
As of March 21, 2007, there were approximately 1,504 record holders of our common shares.
 
Dividends
 
Holders of our common shares are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available. Until March 23, 2007, there were also outstanding 780 Series A preferred shares. These shares were entitled to cumulative aggregate dividends of $39,000 per annum (5% of their liquidation preference of $780,000). Effective March 23, 2007, the holder of our Series A preferred shares exchanged such shares for an equal number of Series B preferred shares. The terms of the Series B preferred shares are identical to those of the Series A preferred shares except that they are mandatorily redeemable on April 30, 2008 (as opposed to April 30, 2007 for the Series A preferred shares). No dividends may be paid on our common shares unless an equivalent pro rata payment is made to the holders of the Series B preferred shares on the accumulated and unpaid dividends payable to such holders at such time.
 
13
 
We have not declared or paid any dividends in the past to the holders of our common shares and do not currently anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors. Therefore, we can give no assurance that any dividends of any kind will ever be paid to holders of our common shares.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
Overview
 
We operate 27 storefronts, including 17 Barry Scott locations acquired through our August 2002 acquisition of Barry Scott Companies, Inc., five Atlantic Insurance locations acquired through our May 2003 acquisition of substantially all of the assets of AIA Acquisition Corp., four Accurate Agency locations acquired through our January 2006 acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Accurate Agency, Inc., Louisons Associates Limited and Accurate Agency of Western New York, Inc., and one Accurate location opened in early 2007. We also have 43 franchised DCAP locations.

14
 
 
Our insurance storefronts serve as insurance agents or brokers and place various types of insurance on behalf of customers. We focus on automobile, motorcycle and homeowner’s insurance and our customer base is primarily individuals rather than businesses.
 
The stores receive commissions from insurance companies for their services. We receive fees from the franchised locations in connection with their use of the DCAP name. Neither we nor the stores currently serve as an insurance company and therefore do not assume underwriting risks; however, as discussed in Item 1(b) of this Annual Report, in March 2007, Commercial Mutual Insurance Company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution to convert Commercial Mutual from an advance premium insurance company to a stock property and casualty insurance company. We hold surplus notes of Commercial Mutual in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000. In the event the conversion occurs, we may be able to convert such notes into a controlling equity interest in Commercial Mutual.
 
The stores also offer automobile club services for roadside assistance and some of our franchise locations offer income tax preparation services.
 
Payments Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, is an insurance premium finance agency that offers premium financing to clients of DCAP, Barry Scott, Atlantic Insurance and Accurate Agency offices, as well as non-affiliated insurance agencies. We currently operate within the states of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our consolidated financial statements include accounts of DCAP Group, Inc. and all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. In preparing these financial statements, our management has utilized information available including our past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. It is possible that the ultimate outcome as anticipated by our management in formulating its estimates inherent in these financial statements might not materialize. However, application of the critical accounting policies below involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies may utilize different estimates, which may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
 
Commission and fee income
 
We recognize commission revenue from insurance policies at the beginning of the contract period. Refunds of commissions on the cancellation of insurance policies are reflected at the time of cancellation.

15
 
Franchise fee revenue on initial franchisee fees is recognized when substantially all of our contractual requirements under the franchise agreement are completed. Franchisees also pay a monthly franchise fee plus a monthly advertising fee. We are obligated to provide marketing and training support to each franchisee.
 
Franchise fee revenue is recognized when substantially all of our contractual requirements under the franchise agreement are completed.
 
Automobile club dues are recognized equally over the contract period.
 
Finance income, fees and receivables
 
For our premium finance operations, we are using the interest method to recognize interest income over the life of each loan in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases.”
 
Upon the establishment of a premium finance contract, we record the gross loan payments as a receivable with a corresponding reduction for deferred interest. The deferred interest is amortized to interest income using the interest method over the life of each loan. The weighted average interest rate charged with respect to financed insurance policies was approximately 26.49% and 26.55% per annum for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Upon completion of collection efforts, after cancellation of the underlying insurance policies, any uncollected earned interest or fees are charged off.
 
Allowance for finance receivable losses
 
Customers who purchase insurance policies are often unable to pay the premium in a lump sum and, therefore, require extended payment terms. Premium finance involves making a loan to the customer that is backed by the unearned portion of the insurance premiums being financed. No credit checks are made prior to the decision to extend credit to a customer. Losses on finance receivables include an estimate of future credit losses on premium finance accounts. Credit losses on premium finance accounts occur when the unearned premiums received from the insurer upon cancellation of a financed policy are inadequate to pay the balance of the premium finance account. After collection attempts are exhausted, the remaining account balance, including unrealized interest, is written off. We review historical trends of such losses relative to finance receivable balances to develop estimates of future losses. However, actual write-offs may differ materially from the write-off estimates that we used. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the provision for finance receivable losses was approximately $650,000 and $900,000 (before estimated recoveries of approximately $65,000 and $225,000, respectively, which reduced the provision for finance receivable losses), respectively, and actual principal write-offs for such years, net of actual and anticipated recoveries of previous write-offs, were approximately $679,000 and $732,000, respectively. If our provision for finance receivable losses was understated by 10% because our actual write-offs were greater than anticipated, the effect would have been a reduction in our basic earnings per share by approximately $0.01 and $0.02 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively

16
 
Goodwill and intangible assets
 
The carrying value of goodwill was initially reviewed for impairment as of January 1, 2002, and is reviewed annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount might not be recoverable. If the fair value of the operations to which goodwill relates is less than the carrying amount of those operations, including unamortized goodwill, the carrying amount of goodwill is reduced accordingly with a charge to expense. Based on our most recent analysis, we believe that no impairment of goodwill exists at December 31, 2006.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
Effective January 1, 2006, our plans have been accounted for in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations. FAS 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements. In addition, we adhere to the guidance set forth within Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, which provides the Staff's views regarding the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations with respect to the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.
 
Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for similar transactions in accordance with APB 25 which employed the intrinsic value method of measuring compensation cost. Accordingly, compensation expense was not recognized for fixed stock options if the exercise price of the option equaled or exceeded the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.
 
While SFAS 123 encouraged recognition of the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant as an expense over the vesting period, companies were permitted to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB 25 and disclose certain pro forma amounts as if the fair value approach of SFAS 123 had been applied. In December 2002, SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,” an amendment of SFAS 123, was issued, which, in addition to providing alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, required more prominent pro forma disclosures in both the annual and interim financial statements. We complied with these disclosure requirements for all applicable periods prior to January 1, 2006.
 
In adopting SFAS 123(R), we applied the modified prospective approach to transition. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of SFAS 123(R) are to be applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under SFAS 123.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments," an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (“SFAS 155”). SFAS 155 improves financial reporting by eliminating the exemption from applying FASB Statement No. 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. SFAS 155 also improves financial reporting by allowing a preparer to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year, provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year. Provisions of SFAS 155 may be applied to instruments that an entity holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis. SFAS No. 155 did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations as of December 31, 2006 or for the year then ended.
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective in the first quarter of 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, if any, recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying the materiality of misstatements in the financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application for the first interim period of the same fiscal year is encouraged. The application of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations as of December 31, 2006 or for the year then ended.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used in measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements. 

18
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit post-retirement plan as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS 158 will have no impact on our financial position or results of operations.
 
In January 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 is intended to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. It also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The statement does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value, and it does not establish requirements for recognizing dividend income, interest income or interest expense. It also does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for the fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 159.
 
Results of Operations
 
Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $508,385 as compared to $495,760 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, revenues from our insurance-related operations were $7,121,724 as compared to $7,036,599 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The revenue increase of $85,125 was primarily attributable to revenues of Accurate whose assets were acquired effective January 1, 2006, offset by a reduction in commissions received by our locations caused by a reduction in renewal commission rates and the elimination of certain other compensation by one of our major insurance carriers.
 
Premium finance revenues decreased $1,021,786 during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005. The total number of premium finance loans that we financed during 2006 decreased 5.7% as compared to 2005. Also, there was a decline in the number of loans originated in downstate New York, which carries a higher average loan size, and an increase in loans originated in central and northern New York State at a lower average loan size. As a result, our average loan size declined, resulting in a decline in our premium finance revenue.
 
 Our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $179,406 more than for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the expenses related to Accurate whose assets were acquired effective January 1, 2006, offset by a decrease in executive salaries due to the resignation in October 2005 of John Willis, our former Chief Operating Officer.

19
 
Our provision for finance receivable losses for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $184,989 less than for the year ended December 31, 2005. This was caused by a decrease in volume in the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Our depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $52,091 more than for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily the result of depreciation and amortization expenses related to Accurate whose assets were acquired effective January 1, 2006.
 
Our premium finance interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $76,075 more than for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was the result of an increase in LIBOR, offset by a decrease in the average outstanding balance of our revolving credit line for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we purchased $3,750,000 of surplus notes of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company at a price of $3,075,141. Accrued but unpaid interest totaled $1,794,688 at the time of the purchase. This transaction resulted in interest income-notes receivable of $1,182,844 during the year ended December 31, 2006. No such interest-bearing notes were owned by us during the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Our interest expense, excluding interest on our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $167,773 more than for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was a result of interest on the promissory notes given in connection with the Accurate acquisition and the purchase of the Commercial Mutual surplus notes, and the borrowing against our revolving credit line to purchase the Commercial Mutual surplus notes (no similar items were recorded in 2005), offset by a reduction caused by our repaying a portion of our subordinated debt in 2005.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we sold one of our stores, resulting in a gain of $81,105. No such sale occurred during the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Our insurance-related operations, on a stand-alone basis, generated a net profit before income taxes of $1,235,740 during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to a net profit before income taxes of $1,602,330 during the year ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to decreased revenue (exclusive of the revenues of Accurate stores that were acquired effective January 1, 2006). Our premium finance operations, on a stand-alone basis, generated a net profit before income taxes of $721,081 during the year ended December 31 2006 as compared to a net profit before income taxes of $1,230,570 during the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to reduced premium finance revenue in 2006 offset by a decrease in our provision for finance receivable losses. Loss before income taxes from corporate-related items not allocable to reportable segments was $1,032,484 during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $1,931,140 during the year ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to an increase in interest income-notes receivable related to the purchase of the surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual and a decrease in executive compensation.

20
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2006, we had $1,196,412 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $2,031,120. As of December 31, 2005, we had $1,961,489 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $5,321,837.
 
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $765,077 between December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 primarily due to the following:
 
·  
Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $315,607 primarily due the following: (i) a decrease in premiums payable of $1,098,712, the accretion of discount on notes receivable of $905,500 and a decrease in income taxes payable of $330,262 offset by (ii) our net income for the year of $508,385, our depreciation and amortization expense of $456,614, an increase in deferred income taxes of $360,000 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $208,522. Premiums payable have declined due to a change in our mix of business. We finance premiums for assigned risk plans, where the loan is funded in two stages, generally over a 30 day period. We also finance premiums with carriers where the entire loan is funded at inception. As our mix of business has changed to include fewer assigned risk loans and more direct carrier loans, there has been a reduction in the amount of our premium liability. The decrease in income taxes payable and increase in deferred income taxes is the result of the accretion of the discount on the Commercial Mutual note receivable not being currently taxable. The increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses was attributable to Accurate as well as our ability to increase payment terms of certain vendors.
 
·  
Though fluctuations in our premium finance business impact our cash position and daily operations, our cash flows from operating activities do not reflect changes in the premium finance contract receivables or borrowing under our revolving credit facility associated with that business. Changes in the premium finance contract receivables are considered investing activities as they include the making and collection of loans and borrowings under our revolving line of credit are considered financing activities.
 
·  
Cash of $2,433,742 was used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily due to following: (i) the use of $3,075,141 in cash to purchase the surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual and the use of $1,000,786 in cash to purchase the Accurate agency and other business acquisitions, offset by (ii) a decrease in our net finance contracts receivable of $1,737,168. This decrease was the result of a reduction in the dollar amount of premium finance contracts entered into in 2006.
 
·  
Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $1,984,272 primarily due to the following: (i) proceeds of $50,914,830 from our revolving credit line from M&T for premium finance purposes and $1,300,000 for the purchase of the surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual, offset by (ii) payments of $49,739,009 on the revolving credit line and $593,846 of long-term debt.

21
 
Our premium finance operations are financed pursuant to a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit from M&T entered into on July 28, 2006, which replaced our revolving line of credit agreement with M&T dated December 27, 2004. The line of credit bears interest at either (i) M&T’s prime rate or (ii) LIBOR plus 2.25%, matures on June 30, 2008 and is secured by substantially all of our assets. We can borrow against the line to the extent of 85% of eligible premium finance receivables. As of December 31, 2006, $10,952,345 was outstanding under the line. As of December 31, 2006, of the $16,186,559 reflected on the Balance Sheet as “Finance contracts receivable,” approximately $13,244,722 represents eligible receivables for purposes of our finance credit agreement. The line of credit also allows for a $2,500,000 term loan (of the $20,000,000 credit line availability) to be used to provide liquidity for ongoing working capital purposes. Any draws against this line bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. As of July 28, 2006, we made our first draw of $1,300,000 against the term line. The draw is repayable in quarterly principal installments of $130,000 each, commencing September 1, 2006. The remaining principal balance is payable on June 30, 2008. Interest is payable monthly.
 
We have no current commitments for capital expenditures. However, we may, from time to time, consider acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies.
 
On January 31, 2006, we purchased $3,750,000 of surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual for a price of $3,075,141, of which $1,303,434 was paid by delivery of a six month promissory note which provided for interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum. The promissory note was paid in full on July 28, 2006. Accrued but unpaid interest on the surplus notes totaled $1,794,688 at the time of the purchase.
 
In January 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Accurate Agency, Inc., Louisons Associates Limited and Accurate Agency of Western New York, Inc. for $1,600,000, of which $800,000 was paid at the closing and the balance was paid by delivery of a seven year promissory note.
 
In connection with our initial acquisition of the line of credit from M&T, we obtained a $3,500,000 secured subordinated loan to support our premium finance operations. During 2005, we utilized the M&T line of credit to repay an aggregate of $2,000,000 of the subordinated debt. The remaining balance of the loan was due in January 2006 and carries interest at the rate of 12-5/8% per annum. In May 2005, we obtained an extension of the maturity date of the remaining subordinated debt to September 30, 2007. In March 2007, holders of approximately $1,385,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the subordinated debt agreed to extend the maturity date of the debt from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008. We have the right to prepay the subordinated debt (subject to M&T’s consent) without penalty.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition
 
Based upon the following factors, as well as other factors affecting our operating results and financial condition, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. In addition, such factors, among others, may affect the accuracy of certain forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report.
 
Because our core product is personal automobile insurance, our business may be adversely affected by negative developments in the conditions in this industry.
 
Approximately 57% of our revenues for 2006 were commissions and fees from the sale of personal automobile and other property and casualty insurance policies. As a result of our concentration in this line of business, negative developments in the economic, competitive or regulatory conditions affecting the personal automobile insurance industry could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Because substantially all of our insurance-related operations are located in New York and Pennsylvania, our business may be adversely affected by conditions in these states.
 
Substantially all of our insurance-related operations are located in the states of New York and Pennsylvania. Our revenues and profitability are affected by the prevailing regulatory, economic, demographic, competitive and other conditions in these states. Changes in any of these conditions could make it more costly or difficult for us to conduct our business. Adverse regulatory developments in New York or Pennsylvania, which could include fundamental changes to the design or implementation of the automobile insurance regulatory framework, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our inability to refinance our current line of credit or obtain additional required financing would have an adverse effect on our premium finance revenue.
 
The working capital needs of our premium finance subsidiary, Payments Inc., are substantially dependent on its line of credit agreement with M&T that expires in June 2008. That agreement includes covenants requiring us to pass specified financial tests and to refrain from certain kinds of actions. In the event we fail to meet our covenants or are unable to extend, refinance, replace or increase our bank line of credit on economically feasible terms, our income and the marketability of our premium finance services would be materially adversely affected.
 
Increases in interest rates would have an adverse effect on our premium finance operations.
 
Our premium finance line of credit with M&T provides for interest based upon M&T’s floating prime rate or the floating LIBOR rate. Increases in these rates would increase the cost of borrowing for premium financing. Since we generally charge interest on our premium finance loans at the statutory rate permitted in each state, we would not be able to increase our loan rates to compensate for any such increased cost of borrowing.

23
 
If we lose key personnel or are unable to recruit qualified personnel, our ability to implement our business strategies could be delayed or hindered
 
Our future success will depend, in part, upon the efforts of Barry Goldstein, our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of Mr. Goldstein or other key personnel could prevent us from fully implementing our business strategies and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, an event of default under our line of credit agreement will be triggered if Mr. Goldstein is no longer serving as our chief executive and chief operating officer or that of Payments Inc. We have an employment agreement with Mr. Goldstein that expires on April 1, 2007. Our Board’s Compensation Committee has retained an independent compensation consultant to advise it in connection with the determination of Mr. Goldstein’s salary and bonus compensation and other terms and conditions of employment. As we continue to grow, we will need to recruit and retain additional qualified management personnel, but we may not be able to do so. Our ability to recruit and retain such personnel will depend upon a number of factors, such as our results of operations and prospects and the level of competition then prevailing in the market for qualified personnel.
 
Reductions in the New York involuntary automobile insurance market may adversely affect our premium finance business.
 
Our primary source of premium finance loans has been the assigned risk, or involuntary, automobile insurance market. In New York, since mid-2003, there has been a decline of more than 70% in the number of new applications for coverage at the New York Auto Insurance Plan. This has led to a reduction in the number of loans where policies of this type are the collateral. We have partially offset the rate of decline by increasing our loan originations at our Barry Scott locations and, effective January 2006, by offering premium financing to our Accurate locations. In general, these loans are of a smaller average size as upstate New York premiums are generally lower in amount than those for a comparable downstate policy. Beginning in 2004, we began to finance certain voluntary auto insurance policies. There is no guaranty that the number or size of the loans in the voluntary marketplace will offset the declines experienced in the involuntary market.
 
The volatility of premium pricing and commission rates could adversely affect our operations. 
 
We currently derive most of our insurance-related revenues from commissions paid by insurance companies. The commission is usually a percentage of the premium billed to an insured. Insurance premiums are not determined by us. Historically, property and casualty premiums have been cyclical in nature and have displayed a high degree of volatility based on economic and competitive conditions. Because our commission revenue is paid to us based on insurance premiums, a decline in premium levels will have an adverse effect on our business. In times of expanded underwriting capacity of insurance companies, premium rates have decreased causing a reduction in the commissions payable to us. In addition, in many cases, insurance companies may seek to reduce their expenses by reducing the commission rates payable to insurance agents or brokers and generally reserve the right to make such reductions. We cannot predict the timing or extent of future changes in commission rates or premiums and therefore cannot predict the effect, if any, that such changes would have on our operations.

24
 
We are subject to regulation that may restrict our ability to earn profits.
 
Our premium finance subsidiary is subject to regulation and supervision by the financial institution departments in the states where it offers to finance premiums. Certain regulatory restrictions, including restrictions on the maximum permissible rates of interest for premium financing, and prior approval requirements may affect its ability to operate.
 
The operations of our storefronts depend on their continued good standing under the licenses and approvals pursuant to which they operate. Licensing laws and regulations vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Such laws and regulations are subject to amendment or interpretation by regulatory authorities, and generally such authorities are vested with broad discretion as to the granting, suspending, renewing and revoking of licenses and approvals.
 
In addition, there are currently 43 DCAP franchises. The offering of franchises is regulated by both the federal government and some states, including New York.
 
As a holding company, we are dependent on the results of operations of our operating subsidiaries and the regulatory and contractual capacity of our premium finance subsidiary to pay dividends to us.
 
We are a holding company and a legal entity separate and distinct from our operating subsidiaries. As a holding company without significant operations of our own, the principal sources of our funds are dividends and other payments from our operating subsidiaries. Dividends from our premium finance subsidiary are limited by the minimum capital requirements in applicable state regulations and by covenants in our loan agreement with M&T. Consequently, our ability to repay debts, pay expenses and pay cash dividends to our shareholders may be limited.
 
Our premium finance subsidiary is subject to capital requirements, and our failure to meet these standards could subject us to regulatory actions.
 
Our premium finance subsidiary is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed under the laws of the states in which it conducts business. Failure to meet applicable minimum statutory capital requirements could subject our premium finance subsidiary to further examination or corrective action imposed by state regulators, including limitations on our engaging in finance activities, state supervision or even liquidation.
 
Our business is highly competitive, which may make it difficult for us to market our core products effectively and profitably.
 
The personal automobile insurance business is highly competitive. We compete with numerous other insurance agents and brokers in our market. The amount of capital required to commence operations as a broker or agent is generally small and the only material barrier to entry is the ability to obtain the required licenses and appointments as a broker or agent for insurance carriers. We also compete with insurers, such as Progressive Direct, Esurance and GEICO Insurance, that sell insurance policies directly to consumers by the Internet and telephone, without a broker.

25
 
Some of our competitors, including those who provide premium finance services, have substantially greater financial and other resources than we have, and they may offer a broader range of products or offer competing products or services at lower prices. Our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected by a loss of business to competitors offering similar insurance products or services at lower prices or having other competitive advantages.
 
A decline in the number of insurance companies offering insurance products in our markets would adversely affect our business.
 
Based upon economic conditions and loss history, insurance companies enter and leave our market. A reduction in the number of available insurance products that we can offer to our customers would adversely affect our business.
 
We may have difficulties in managing our expansion into new geographic markets, and we may not be successful in identifying agency acquisition candidates or integrating their operations.
 
Our future growth plans include expanding into new markets by acquiring the business and assets of local agencies. Our future growth will face risks, including risks associated with obtaining necessary licenses for our premium finance operations and our ability to identify agency acquisition candidates or, if acquired, to integrate their operations. In addition, we may acquire businesses in markets in which conditions may not be favorable to us.
 
Our inability to identify and acquire agency acquisition candidates could hinder our growth by slowing down our ability to expand into new markets. If we do acquire additional agencies, we could suffer increased costs, disruption of our business and distraction of our management if we are unable to integrate the acquired agencies into our operations smoothly. Our geographic expansion will also continue to place significant demands on our management, operations, systems, accounting, internal controls and financial resources. Any failure by us to manage our growth and to respond to changes in our business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may seek to expand through acquisitions of complementary businesses or other assets which involve additional risks that may adversely affect us
 
We continually seek to expand our operations by acquiring businesses or other assets which we believe will complement or enhance our business. We may also acquire or make investments in complementary businesses, products, services or technologies. In the event we effect any such acquisition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any acquired business, asset, product, service or technology in our operations without substantial costs, delays or other problems or otherwise successfully expand our operations. In addition, efforts expended in connection with such acquisitions may divert our management’s attention from other business concerns. We also may have to borrow money to pay for future acquisitions and we may not be able to do so at all or on terms favorable to us. Additional borrowings and liabilities may have a materially adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

26
 
If we obtain a controlling interest in Commercial Mutual Insurance Company, we will face new risks and uncertainties.
 
As discussed in Item 1 hereof, in March 2007, Commercial Mutual Insurance Company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution to convert Commercial Mutual from an advance premium insurance company to a stock property and casualty insurance company. We hold surplus notes of Commercial Mutual in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000. In the event the conversion occurs, we may be able to convert such notes into a controlling equity interest in Commercial Mutual. We have never operated as an insurance company and would face all of the risks and uncertainties that come with operating such a company, including underwriting risks.
 
We are materially dependent upon the operations of our third party premium finance servicing agent. 
 
The administration, servicing and collection of our premium finance receivables is handled by a third party. Our premium finance business is materially dependent upon the operations of such company in a professional manner, including the timely cancellation of insurance policies based upon the failure of the customer to pay a premium finance receivable installment.
 
We rely on our information technology and telecommunication systems, and the failure of these systems could materially and adversely affect our business.
 
Our business is highly dependent upon the successful and uninterrupted functioning of our information technology and telecommunications systems as well as those of our premium financing servicing agent. We rely on these systems to support our operations, as well as to process new and renewal business, provide customer service, make claims payments, support premium financing activities, and facilitate collections and cancellations. The failure of these systems could interrupt our operations and result in a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, increased costs as a result of being an SEC reporting company.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as a variety of related rules implemented by the SEC, have required changes in corporate governance practices and generally increased the disclosure requirements of public companies. As a reporting company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses in connection with our public disclosure and other obligations. Based upon SEC regulations currently in effect, we will be required to establish, evaluate and report on our internal control over financial reporting commencing with our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2007, and to have our registered independent public accounting firm issue an attestation as to such reports commencing with our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008. We believe that, based upon SEC regulations currently in effect, our general and administrative expenses, including amounts that will be spent on outside legal counsel, accountants and professionals and other professional assistance, will increase in 2007 over 2006 and in 2008 over 2007, which could require us to allocate what may be limited cash resources away from our operations and business growth plans. We also believe that compliance with the myriad of rules and regulations applicable to reporting companies and related compliance issues will divert time and attention of management away from operating and growing our business.

27
 
The enactment of tort reform could adversely affect our business. 
 
Legislation concerning tort reform is from time to time considered in the United States Congress and in several states. Among the provisions considered for inclusion in such legislation are limitations on damage awards, including punitive damages. Enactment of these or similar provisions by Congress or by states in which we sell insurance could result in a reduction in the demand for liability insurance policies or a decrease in the limits of such policies, thereby reducing our commission revenues. We cannot predict whether any such legislation will be enacted or, if enacted, the form such legislation will take, nor can we predict the effect, if any, such legislation would have on our business or results of operations.
 
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The financial statements required by this Item 7 are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB following Item 14 hereof.
 
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
There were no changes in accountants due to disagreements on accounting and financial disclosure during the twenty-four month period ended December 31, 2006.
 
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
 
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

28
 
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Guaranty
 
In July 2003, Barry Goldstein, our President and Chief Executive Officer, guaranteed the repayment of $2,500,000 of an $18,000,000 line of credit from M&T utilized by our subsidiary, Payments Inc., to finance its premium finance business. Mr. Goldstein also executed a wind-down guaranty pursuant to which, among other things, he agreed with M&T that, in the event M&T had the right to foreclose upon the collateral securing the line, Mr. Goldstein would use his best efforts to assist M&T in the foreclosure process. Pursuant to the wind-down guaranty, Mr. Goldstein is also responsible for any loss suffered by M&T by reason of any breach or misrepresentation that involves, is connected with or arises out of any dishonest or fraudulent act or omission either committed by Mr. Goldstein or known but not timely reported by him to M&T. Effective April 30, 2005, pursuant to the terms of the financing agreement, Mr. Goldstein’s payment guaranty was reduced to $1,250,000. Effective July 28, 2006, in connection with a restructuring and extension of the line of credit, Mr. Goldstein’s payment guaranty terminated; however, the wind-down guaranty remains in effect. In consideration of the payment guaranty, and for so long as the payment guaranty remained in effect, we paid Mr. Goldstein $50,000 per annum and reimbursed him for all premiums paid by him on a $2,500,000 insurance policy on his life. In consideration of the wind-down guaranty, in July 2006, we paid Mr. Goldstein a one-time fee of $50,000.
 
Subordinated Debt Financing
 
Effective July 10, 2003, in order to fund our premium finance operations, we obtained $3,500,000 from a private placement of subordinated debt. The subordinated debt was initially repayable on January 10, 2006 and provides for interest at the rate of 12.625% per annum, payable semi-annually. Subject to M&T’s consent, we have the right to prepay the subordinated debt. During 2005, we utilized our M&T line of credit to repay $2,000,000 of the subordinated debt.
 
In consideration of the debt financing, we issued to the lenders warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 105,000 of our common shares at an exercise price of $6.25 per share. The warrants were initially scheduled to expire on January 10, 2006. Effective May 25, 2005, the holders of the remaining $1,500,000 of subordinated debt agreed to extend the maturity date of the debt to September 30, 2007. The debt extension was given to satisfy a requirement of M&T that arose in connection with the December 2004 increase in M&T’s revolving line of credit to $25,000,000 and the extension of the line to June 30, 2007. In consideration for the extension of the due date for the subordinated debt, we extended the expiration date of warrants held by the debtholders for the purchase of 97,500 common shares to September 30, 2007. Effective March 23, 2007, the holders of approximately $1,385,000 outstanding principal amount of the subordinated debt agreed to a further extension of the due date to September 30, 2008. In consideration for such further extension, we further extended the expiration date of the warrants held by the debtholders for the purchase of 90,000 common shares to September 30, 2008.
 
One of the private placement lenders was a retirement trust established for the benefit of Jack Seibald which loaned us $625,000 and was issued a warrant for the purchase of 18,750 of our common shares. Mr. Seibald is one of our principal stockholders and, effective September 2004, became one of our directors. Mr. Seibald’s retirement trust currently holds approximately $288,000 of the subordinated debt and he indirectly owns or controls 48,750 warrants, including those issued at the time of the loan.

38
 
Commercial Mutual Insurance Company
 
On January 31, 2006, we purchased from Eagle Insurance Company two surplus notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000 issued by Commercial Mutual Insurance Company. The aggregate purchase price for the surplus notes was $3,075,141, of which $1,303,434 was paid to Eagle by delivery of a six month promissory note. The promissory note was paid in full in July 2006. Commercial Mutual is a New York property and casualty insurer. Eagle is a New Jersey property and casualty insurer that is being operated by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance pursuant to an Order of Rehabilitation. Eagle owns approximately 10% of our outstanding common stock.
 
Robert Wallach, one of our directors at the time of purchase, is Vice President of Eagle and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Eagle’s parent, The Robert Plan Corporation. Additionally, until our purchase of the surplus notes, Mr. Wallach and a number of other Eagle employees were directors of Commercial Mutual. Further, concurrently with the purchase, and following the resignations of Mr. Wallach and four other directors of Commercial Mutual, Jack Seibald, one of our directors, and four other persons (including one of our employees) were elected by the remaining Commercial Mutual directors to the eleven person Board of Directors of Commercial Mutual. In addition, the new Commercial Mutual Board of Directors elected Barry Goldstein, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as its Chairman. Mr. Goldstein had been elected as a director of Commercial Mutual in December 2005.
 
Preferred Stock Exchange
 
Effective March 23, 2007, we issued 780 Series B preferred shares to AIA Acquisition Corp. (“AIA”) in exchange for an equal number of our outstanding Series A preferred shares. The terms of the Series B preferred shares are substantially identical to those of the Series A preferred stock, except that they are mandatorily redeemable on April 30, 2008 (as opposed to April 30, 2007 for the Series A preferred shares). The current aggregate redemption amount for the Series B preferred shares is $780,000, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. AIA, as the holder of the Series B preferred shares, is entitled to dividends at the rate of 5% per annum. The Series B preferred shares are convertible into our common shares at a price of $2.50 per share. Members of the family of Barry B. Goldstein, our Chief Executive Officer, are principal stockholders of AIA.
 
Relationship
 
Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman, LLP, a law firm with which Mr. Certilman is affiliated, serves as our counsel. It is presently anticipated that such firm will continue to represent us and will receive fees for its services at rates and in amounts not greater than would be paid to unrelated law firms performing similar services.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors and Stockholders
DCAP Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Hewlett, New York

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DCAP Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DCAP Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment.

DCAP GROUP, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIES
 
 
Notes to Financial Statements
Two Years Ended December 31, 2006
 

 
1.
Organization and Nature of Business
   
 
DCAP Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (referred to herein as "we" or "us") operate a network of retail offices and franchise operations engaged in the sale of retail auto, motorcycle, boat, business, and homeowner's insurance, and provide premium financing of insurance policies for customers of our offices as well as customers of non-affiliated entities. We also provide automobile club services for roadside emergencies and tax preparation services.
   
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
   
 
Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we have a majority voting interest or voting control. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
   
 
Commission and fee income - We recognize commission revenue from insurance policies at the beginning of the contract period. Refunds of commissions on the cancellation of insurance policies are reflected at the time of cancellation.
   
 
Franchise fee revenue on initial franchisee fees is recognized when substantially all of our contractual requirements under the franchise agreement are completed. Franchisees also pay a monthly franchise fee plus an applicable percentage of advertising expense. We are obligated to provide marketing and training support to each franchisee. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, approximately $50,000 and $65,000, respectively, was recognized as initial franchise fee income.
   
 
Fees for income tax preparation are recognized when the services are completed. Automobile club dues are recognized equally over the contract period.
   
 
Allowance for doubtful accounts - Management must make estimates of the uncollectability of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzed accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
   
 
Finance income, fees and receivables - For our premium finance operations, we are using the interest method to recognize interest income over the life of each loan in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases."
   
 
Upon the establishment of a premium finance contract, we record the gross loan payments as a receivable with a corresponding reduction for deferred interest. The deferred interest is amortized to interest income using the interest method over the life of each loan. The weighted average interest rate charged with respect to financed insurance policies was approximately 26.49% and 26.55% per annum for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 
Upon completion of collection efforts, after cancellation of the underlying insurance policies, any uncollected earned interest or fees are charged off.
   
 
Allowance for finance receivable losses - Customers who purchase insurance policies are often unable to pay the premium in a lump sum and, therefore, require extended payment terms. Premium finance involves making a loan to the customer that is backed by the unearned portion of the insurance premiums being financed. No credit checks are made prior to the decision to extend credit to a customer. Losses on finance receivables include an estimate of future credit losses on premium finance accounts. Credit losses on premium finance accounts occur when the unearned premiums received from the insurer upon cancellation of a financed policy are inadequate to pay the balance of the premium finance account. After collection attempts are exhausted, the remaining account balance, including unrealized interest, is written off. We review historical trends of such losses relative to finance receivable balances to develop estimates of future losses. However, actual write-offs may differ materially from the write-off estimates that we used. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the provision for finance receivable losses was approximately $650,000 and $900,000 (before estimated recoveries of approximately $65,000 which reduced the provision for finance receivable losses), respectively, and actual principal write-offs for such year, net of actual and anticipated recoveries of previous write-offs, were approximately $679,000 and $732,000, respectively. If our provision for finance receivable losses was understated by 10% because our actual write-offs were greater than anticipated, the effect would have been a reduction in our basic earnings per share by approximately $0.01 and $0.02 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Goodwill and intangible assets - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over fair value of identifiable net assets acquired from business acquisitions. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is no longer amortized, but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. We conduct our annual impairment test for goodwill at the beginning of the first quarter. We performed the required impairment test for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 and found no impairment of goodwill. There can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings.
   
 
Other Intangibles - SFAS No. 142 requires purchased intangible assets other than goodwill to be amortized over their useful lives unless those lives are determined to be indefinite. Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Definite-lived intangible assets, which include customer and phone, have been assigned an estimated finite life and are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 to 15 years.
   
 
Property and equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining term of the lease.
   
 
Deferred loan costs - Deferred loan costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related term of the loan.
   
 
Concentration of credit risk - We invest our excess cash in deposits and money market accounts with major financial institutions and have not experienced losses related to these investments.
   
 
All finance contracts receivable are repayable in less than one year. In the event of a default by the borrower, we are entitled to cancel the underlying insurance policy financed and receive a refund for the unused term of such policy from the insurance carrier. We structure the repayment terms in an attempt to minimize principal losses on finance contract receivables.
   
 
We perform ongoing credit evaluations and generally do not require collateral.
   
 
Cash and cash equivalents - We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less, as well as bank money market accounts, to be cash equivalents.

Estimates - 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include the allowance for finance receivable losses. It is reasonably possible that events could occur during the upcoming year which could change such estimates.
   
 
Net income per share - Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and conversion of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock.
   
 
The reconciliation for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:

Advertising costs - Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising first takes place. Included in general and administrative expenses are advertising costs approximating $479,000 and $601,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
   
 
Impairment of long-lived assets - We review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. If other events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset that we expect to hold and use may not be recoverable, we will estimate the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or its eventual disposition, and recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss, if determined to be necessary, would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. A similar evaluation is made in relation to goodwill, with any impairment loss measured as the amount by which the carrying value of such goodwill exceeds the expected undiscounted future cash flows.

Income taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
   
 
Share-based compensation - Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Therefore, we measured compensation expense for our share-based compensation using the intrinsic value method, that is, as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of our stock at the grant date over the amount required to be paid to acquire the stock, and provided the disclosures required by SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (“SFAS 123”) and SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" (“SFAS 148”).
 
Effective January 1, 2006, we began recording compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective transition method and therefore we have not restated results for prior periods. Under the modified prospective transition method, share-based compensation expense for 2006 includes (1) compensation expense for all share-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006 as determined based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and (2) compensation expense for share-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
 
Pro forma financial information - For stock options granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2005, as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 in determining stock-based compensation:

Comprehensive income (loss) - Comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders' equity. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no such adjustments required.

 
Reclassifications -
 
Certain reclassifications (including the reclassification of the premium finance revenue (interest and late fees) write-offs from the “Provision for finance receivable losses” to “Premium finance revenue” (see below)) have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 to conform to the classifications used for the year ended December 31, 2006. Beginning in 2005, we were able to obtain a complete detail of the interest and fee write-offs for the premium finance receivables.  Effective January 1, 2006, we began reporting the premium finance revenue, net of the interest and fee write-offs as illustrated below.

New accounting pronouncements
 
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires that we recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective in the first quarter of 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle, if any, recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on our consolidated financial statements.
   
 
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") released Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SEC’s views regarding the process of quantifying the materiality of misstatements in the financial statements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application for the first interim period of the same fiscal year is encouraged. The application of SAB 108 did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations as of December 31, 2006 or for the year then ended.
   
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used in measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 is intended to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. It also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The statement does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value, and it does not establish requirements for recognizing dividend income, interest income or interest expense. It also does not eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. The provisions of SFAS 159 are effective for the fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 159.

Business Acquisitions
   
 
Effective January 1, 2006, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Accurate Agency of Western New York, Inc., Louisons Associates Limited and Accurate Agency, Inc. (collectively, “Accurate”), insurance brokerage firms with a total of four offices located in and around Rochester, New York. The acquisition allows for the expansion of our geographical footprint.
   
 
The aggregate purchase price was $1,600,000, including $800,000 of cash with the balance paid through the issuance of an $800,000 non-interest bearing note payable over 72 months commencing on January 10, 2007. The note has been recorded at its estimated present value of $612,481. The purchase price of $1,447,022, including transaction costs of $34,541, was allocated as follows:

In January 2006, we purchased the book of business, customer list and certain other assets of Mid-Hudson Valley Brokerage, LLC (“Mid-Hudson”) located in Poughkeepsie, New York, for $94,505 in cash. The purchase price of $99,245, including transactions costs of $4,740, was allocated as follows:

These acquisitions are part of our strategy to expand into other regions within New York State. The aggregate intangible assets acquired have been assigned to customer lists, which is subject to periodic amortization over a weighted average estimated useful life of four years. Our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes the revenue and expenses of Accurate and Mid-Hudson from January 2006. Had the transactions taken place on January 1, 2005, on a pro forma basis, the effect on the reported amounts for the year ended December 31, 2005 is considered to be insignificant.

Purchase of Notes Receivable
   
 
On January 31, 2006, we purchased from Eagle Insurance Company (“Eagle”) two surplus notes issued by Commercial Mutual Insurance Company (“CMIC”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,750,000 (the “Surplus Notes”), plus accrued interest of $1,794,688. The aggregate purchase price for the Surplus Notes was $3,075,141, of which $1,303,434 was paid to Eagle by delivery of a six month promissory note which provided for interest at the rate of 7.5% per annum. The promissory note was paid in full on July 28, 2006. CMIC is a New York property and casualty insurer. Eagle is a New Jersey property and casualty insurer whose business is being conducted by the Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance under an Order of Rehabilitation. Eagle owns approximately 10% of our outstanding common stock. The Surplus Notes acquired by us are past due and provide for interest at the prime rate or 8.5% per annum, whichever is less. Payments of principal and interest on the Surplus Notes may only be made out of the surplus of CMIC and require the approval of the New York State Department of Insurance. During the year ended December 31, 2006, interest payments totaling $250,000 were received. The discount on the Surplus Notes and the accrued interest at the time of acquisition are being accreted over a 30 month period, the estimated period to collect such amounts. Such accretion amount, together with interest on the Surplus Notes for the period ended December 31, 2006, is included in our Statement of Income as “Interest income-notes receivable.”
 
In March 2007, CMIC’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution to convert CMIC from an advance premium insurance company to a stock property and casualty insurance company. In the event the conversion occurs, we may be able to convert our notes into a controlling equity interest in CMIC.
   
5.
Sale of Store
   
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, we sold one of our retail stores for $125,000 in cash and notes. The sale of the store resulted in a gain of $81,105. In addition, concurrently with the sale, the purchaser entered into a franchise agreement with us.

Debentures Payable
   
 
In 1971, pursuant to a plan of arrangement, we issued a series of debentures, which matured in 1977. As of December 31, 2006, $154,200 of these debentures has not been presented for payment. Accordingly, this balance has been included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Interest has not been accrued on the remaining debentures payable. In addition, no interest, penalties or other charges have been accrued with regard to any escheat obligation.
   
13.
Revolving Credit Facility
   
 
On December 27, 2004, we entered into a revolving line of credit (the “Old Revolver”) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Co. (the “Bank”), which provided for an increase in the credit line to $25,000,000. Subject to certain conditions, the Bank had agreed to arrange an additional $10,000,000 credit facility with other lenders on a "best efforts" basis. The Old Revolver bore interest, at our option, at either (i) the Bank's prime lending rate (7.25% at December 31, 2005) or (ii) LIBOR (4.34% at December 31, 2005) plus 2.5%, and was to mature on June 30, 2007. We could borrow against the line to the extent of 85% of eligible premium finance receivables. As of December 31, 2005, $9,776,524 was outstanding under the Old Revolver.
   
 
On July 28, 2006, we and our premium finance subsidiary, Payments, Inc., entered into a new revolving line of credit (the “New Revolver”) with the Bank, which provides for a decrease in the credit line to $20,000,000 and the elimination of the Bank’s agreement to arrange an additional $10,000,000 credit facility with other lenders on a “best efforts” basis. The New Revolver bears interest, at our option, at either the Bank’s prime lending rate (8.25% at December 31, 2006) or LIBOR (5.35% at December 31, 2006) plus 2.25%, and matures on June 30, 2008. The line of credit also allows for a $2,500,000 term loan (of the $20,000,000 credit line availability) to be used to provide liquidity for ongoing working capital purposes. Any draws against the term line bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. As of July 28, 2006, we made our first draw against the term line of $1,300,000. The draw is repayable in quarterly principal installments of $130,000 each, commencing September 1, 2006. The remaining principal balance is payable on June 30, 2008. Interest is payable monthly. The New Revolver eliminates the personal guaranty required of our CEO of $1,250,000 but continues his obligation on an unlimited wind-down guaranty and his personal guaranty as to misrepresentations that relate to dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by him or known but not timely reported by him. The New Revolver also allows for a reduction of life insurance coverage on the life of our CEO from $4,000,000 to $1,500,000.
   
 
The New Revolver is secured by substantially all of the assets of our premium finance subsidiary, Payments, Inc., and is guaranteed by DCAP Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 $1,385,000 on September 30, 2008. The loan is subordinate to the

The repayments reduced the outstanding principal amount of the subordinated loan from $3,500,000 to $1,500,000. In March 2007, holders of approximately $1,385,000 of the principal amount of the subordinated loan agreed to extend the maturity of this loan from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008, and as a result has been reflected as a non-current liability at December 31, 2006.

Guarantee - Under our revolving line of credit which was replaced in July 2006, our Chairman and CEO personally guaranteed the repayment of $2,500,000 of our revolving credit facility and was obligated on an unlimited wind-down guaranty. In consideration of this guaranty, we paid him $50,000 in 2005 and reimbursed him for all premiums paid by him on a $2,500,000 life insurance policy. Under our revolving line of credit entered into in July 2006, our Chairman and CEO is obligated on a unlimited wind-down guaranty as long as the loan is in effect. In consideration of this guaranty, he was paid $50,000 in 2006.

Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock
   
 
On May 8, 2003, we issued 904 shares of $.01 par value 5.0% Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of AIA. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and are payable in cash.
   
 
Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of our Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, at a conversion rate of $2.50 per share.
   
 
On January 15, 2005, the preferred stockholder converted 124 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 49,600 shares of our Common Stock.
   
 
Subject to legal availability of funds, the Series A Preferred Stock was mandatorily redeemable by us for cash at its liquidation preference on April 30, 2007 (unless previously converted into our Common Stock). In March 2007, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock agreed to exchange the Series A Preferred Stock for a new Series B Preferred Stock that is mandatorily redeemable by us for cash at its liquidation preference on April 30, 2008 (unless previously converted into our Common Stock). Redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock can occur prior to April 30, 2008 upon a substantial sale by us, as defined. The terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are the same as the Series A Preferred Stock with the exception of the redemption date.
   
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity", the Series A Preferred Stock has been reported as a liability, and the preferred dividends have been classified as interest expense.

Stockholders' Equity
   
 
Preferred Stock - During 2001, we amended our Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the authority to issue 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, with a par value of $.01 per share. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in a series and to fix, before the issuance of each series, the number of shares in each series and the designation, liquidation preferences, conversion privileges, rights and limitations of each series.
   
 
Warrants - On July 10, 2003, in connection with the issuance of the subordinated debt, we issued warrants to purchase 105,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.25 per share (the "Warrants"). The Warrants were valued at $147,000 and were being amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the associated debt. The Warrants were scheduled to expire on January 10, 2006. Effective May 25, 2005, the holders of $1,500,000 outstanding principal amount of our subordinated debt agreed to extend the maturity date of the debt from January 10, 2006 to September 30, 2007. This extension was given to satisfy a requirement of our premium finance lender that arose in connection with the increase in our revolving line of credit to $25,000,000 and the extension of the line to June 30, 2007. In consideration for the extension of the due date of our subordinated debt, we extended the expiration date of Warrants held by the debt holders for the purchase of 97,500 shares of our Common Stock from January 10, 2006 to September 30, 2007. The extension of the Warrants was valued at approximately $148,000 and is being amortized as additional interest expense over the extension period. In March 2007, holders of approximately $1,385,000 of the principal amount of the subordinated loan agreed to extend the maturity date of this loan from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008. In consideration for the extension of the due date of our subordinated debt, we extended the expiration date of Warrants held by the debt holders for the purchase of 90,000 shares of our common stock from September 30, 2007 to September 30, 2008.

Under this plan, options to purchase not more than 400,000 shares of our Common Stock were permitted to be granted, at a price to be determined by our Board of Directors or the Stock Option Committee at the time of grant. During 2002, we increased the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option Plan to 750,000. Incentive stock options granted under this plan expire no later than ten years from date of grant (except no later than five years for a grant to a 10% stockholder). Our Board of Directors or the Stock Option Committee will determine the expiration date with respect to non-statutory options granted under this plan.
   
 
In December 2005, our shareholders ratified the adoption of the 2005 Equity Participation Plan, which provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options and restricted stock. Under this plan, a maximum of 300,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to options granted and restricted stock issued. Incentive stock options granted under this plan expire no later than ten years from date of grant (except no later than five years for a grant to a 10% stockholder). Our Board of Directors or the Stock Option Committee will determine the expiration date with respect to non-statutory options, and the vesting provisions for restricted stock, granted under this plan.
   
 
Effective January 1, 2006, our plans are accounted for in accordance with the recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25, and related interpretations. FAS 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements. In addition, we adhere to the guidance set forth within SEC SAB No. 107, which provides the Staff's views regarding the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations with respect to the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. 
   
 
Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for similar transactions in accordance with APB 25 which employed the intrinsic value method of measuring compensation cost. Accordingly, compensation expense was not recognized for fixed stock options if the exercise price of the option equaled or exceeded the fair value of the underlying stock at the grant date.   
   
 
While SFAS 123 encouraged recognition of the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant as an expense over the vesting period, companies were permitted to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB 25 and disclose certain pro forma amounts as if the fair value approach of SFAS 123 had been applied. In December 2002, SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,” an amendment of SFAS 123, was issued, which, in addition to providing alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, required more prominent pro forma disclosures in both the annual and interim financial statements. We complied with these disclosure requirements for all applicable periods prior to January 1, 2006.

In adopting SFAS 123(R), we applied the modified prospective approach to transition. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of SFAS 123(R) are to be applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation cost for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under SFAS 123.
   
 
As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), our results for the year ended December 31, 2006 include share-based compensation expense totaling approximately $30,000 and a tax benefit of approximately $13,500. Such amounts have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Income within general and administrative expenses. Stock compensation expense and tax benefit recorded under APB 25 in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $0.
 
Stock option compensation expense in 2006 is the estimated fair value of options granted amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for entire portion of the award less an estimate for anticipated forfeitures.
   
 
The weighted average estimated fair value of stock options granted in the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1.46 and 1.85, respectively, per share. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. During 2006, we took into consideration the guidance under SFAS 123(R) and SAB No. 107 when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The expected term is based upon observation of actual time elapsed between date of grant and exercise of options for all employees. Previously such assumptions were determined based on historical data.
 
 
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our stock options.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at December 31, 2006 is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the market price of our common stock for the shares that had exercise prices, that were lower than the $3.06 closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2006. The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $135,150 and $126,265, respectively, determined as of the date of exercise. We received cash proceeds from options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 of approximately $191,000 and $60,000, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
   
 
The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments were:
   
 
Current Assets and Current Liabilities: The carrying values of cash, accounts receivables, finance contract receivables and payables and certain other short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value.
   
 
Long-Term Debt: The fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on our assumed incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount of variable and fixed rate debt at December 31, 2006 approximates fair value.
   
23.
Retirement Plan
   
 
Qualified employees are eligible to participate in a salary reduction plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participation in the plan is voluntary, and any participant may elect to contribute up to a maximum of $15,000 per year. We will match 25% of the employee's contribution up to 6%. Contributions for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 approximated $17,000 and $17,000, respectively.
