DCAP Announces Sale of New York State Retail Locations and Delay in Filing Form 10-K for 2008
01 Abril 2009 - 2:00PM
Business Wire
DCAP Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCAP) today announced that it has
agreed to sell its New York State based chain of retail insurance
brokerages, Barry Scott Agency and DCAP Accurate Agency. The sale
is expected to close before the end of April, subject to certain
conditions including the obtaining of certain approvals with regard
to the transfer of the brokerage clients and the transfer of the
retail location leases.
�Our Board has approved management�s plan to simplify the
company�s business model by withdrawing from the retail
distribution channel. We intend to concentrate our attention and
capital on our investment in Commercial Mutual Insurance Company,�
said Barry Goldstein, DCAP�s Chairman and CEO
The demutualization of Commercial Mutual Insurance Company
(�CMIC�) requires the issuance of a final order by the NYS
Insurance Department. It is hoped that the order will be issued
very soon. Thereafter, CMIC will communicate with its policyholders
and former policyholders regarding the conversion. A meeting date
will be set and a vote of the policyholders taken. A vote approving
the conversion will result in a distribution of cash to
policyholders who were insured by CMIC during the three year period
prior to March 1, 2007. At the same time, DCAP will forgive the
promissory notes issued by CMIC (and accrued interest) in exchange
for the common shares of the new stock company to be called
�Kingstone Insurance Company.�
�As a result of the agreement to sell our New York retail assets
and our plan to sell our Pennsylvania retail assets, our financial
statements for 2008 and going forward will reflect the retail
business as discontinued operations (and our 2007 financial
statements will be restated to reflect such reclassification). Due
to the need to reclassify our retail businesses as discontinued
operations, we have filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form
12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission; we anticipate
filing our Form 10-K with the SEC by April 15, 2009,� said Victor
Brodsky, DCAP�s Chief Accounting Officer. �The financial effect of
the sale of the 16 New York locations will be recorded in the
second quarter of 2009 and is not anticipated to be of a material
amount,� added Mr. Brodsky.
