Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To The Plan Administrator and Participants Donegal Mutual Insurance Company 401(k) Plan
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Donegal Mutual Insurance Company 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of schedule H, line 4(i) schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DONEGAL MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY 401(k) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. |
| --- |
| The following description of the Donegal Mutual Insurance Company (the Company) 401(k) Plan
(the Plan) provides only general information. Donegal Group Inc. is the regional insurance
holding company of Donegal Mutual Insurance Company. Participants should refer to the Plan
Document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions. |
| General |
| The Plan is a defined contribution 401(k) plan, which became effective January 1, 1998. All
employees of the Company are eligible to participate as of the first day of the month after
the month in which their employment with the Company commences. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). |
| The Company and Plan has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or
disclosure through the date these financial statements were issued. |
| Plan Transfer |
| On August 11, 2009, the Companys Board of Directors and The Sheboygan Falls Insurance
Companys Board of Directors approved the merger of the The Sheboygan Falls Insurance
Company 401(k) Plan into the Plan. On September 11, 2009, The Sheboygan Falls Insurance
Company 401(k) Plan was merged into the Plan. The amount transferred to the Plan amounted
to $1,229,714 which consisted of $44,634 of common/collective trusts and $1,185,080 of
registered investment companies. |
| Contributions |
| Participants may contribute between 1% and 100% of their annual compensation up to the
maximum limit established by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Contributions made to each
participants account will be invested, based on the individuals direction, in various
investment options. The Company will contribute, on behalf of each participant, a sum equal
to 100% of the first 3% of participant deferrals and 50% of the next 6%. Participants may
also contribute qualified rollovers. |
| Newly hired employees are automatically enrolled into the Plan at 3% of eligible
compensation. Employee deferrals will automatically be increased by 1% at the |

| --- |
| beginning of each successive year until the deferred percentage reaches 6%. Employees not
selecting an investment option for their deferrals have their contributions invested in the
Putnam Asset Allocation Conservative Portfolio. Employees have the option to opt
out of participation or change their elective deferral at any time following their
eligibility date. |
| Participant Accounts |
| Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution and an allocation
of the following in accordance with Plan provisions: (a) the Companys contribution and (b)
Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as
defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided
from the participants vested account. |
| Participant Loans |
| The Plan does not currently allow participant loans. |
| Vesting |
| Participants are immediately vested in their salary deferral and rollover contributions, as
well as all amounts that transferred into the Plan during the 2000 year from the
discontinued Money Purchase Pension Plan and Profit Sharing Plan and earnings theron.
Vesting of employer matching contributions and earnings thereon is based on years of
service. A participant is 100% vested after 2 years of credited service. |
| Payment of Benefits |
| The normal retirement date is the first of the month following attainment of age 65. Early
retirement is possible at age 55. Benefits are paid in the form of a lump-sum distribution.
Upon termination of service for other reasons, participants will receive a lump-sum
distribution if the total of their vested balance does not exceed $1,000. If the vested
balance exceeds $1,000, but is less than $5,000, the participant may elect to receive a
lump-sum distribution, however, if no election is made, the Plan Committee will pay the
distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement account designated by the Plan
Committee. If the vested balance exceeds $5,000, the assets will generally be held in the
Plan until the participants normal or early retirement date. However, participants are
entitled to receive the entire balance in their employee account |

| and employer account (if vested) as a lump-sum distribution, as soon as administratively | |
| possible. There is a provision available to allow hardship withdrawals of benefits prior to | |
| termination of employment as defined in the Plan and in compliance with the IRC. | |
| Forfeitures | |
| Forfeitures arising from distributions to participants who are less than 100% vested will be | |
| used to restore any accounts of participants reemployed during the Plan year or to | |
| reduce Company contributions per guidelines established by the Plan. Forfeitures used to | |
| reduce Company contributions totaled $26,297 in 2010 and $24,965 in 2009. As of December | |
| 31, 2010 and 2009, there were $23,491 and $26,297 of unallocated forfeitures, respectively. | |
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of Accounting | |
| The financial statements are prepared under the accrual basis of accounting in accordance | |
| with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. | |
| Use of Estimates | |
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally | |
| accepted in the United States of America 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 changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual | |
| results could differ from those estimates. | |
| Investment Valuation and Income Recognition | |
| Investments are valued at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell | |
| an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market | |
| participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for a discussion of fair value | |
| measurements. |

| Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net
appreciation includes the Plans gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as
those held during the year. |
| Net investment returns reflect certain fees paid by the investment funds to their affiliated
investment advisors, transfer agents, and others as further described in each fund
prospectus or other published documents. These fees are deducted prior to allocation of the
Plans investment earnings activity and thus are not separately identifiable as an expense. |
| Payment of Benefits |
| Benefits are recorded when paid. |
| Administration of Plan Assets |
| The Plans assets are administered under a contract with Putnam Investments (Putnam), the
custodian and trustee of the Plan. Putnam invests funds received from contributions,
investment sales, interest, and dividend income and makes distribution payments to
participants. Certain administrative expenses of maintaining the Plan are paid by the
Company. |
| Risks and Uncertainties |
| The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to
various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk
associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such
changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in
the statement of net assets available for benefits. |
| New Accounting Standards |
| In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update No. 2010-06 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about
Fair Value Measurements, (ASU 2010-06), which provides a greater level of disaggregated
information and more robust disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs to fair value
measurements, transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and the separate presentation of
information in Level 3 reconciliations on a gross basis |

| rather than net. New disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective | |
| for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, Level 3 | |
| disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Adoption of | |
| the effective provisions of ASU 2010-06 had no material impact on the Plans financial | |
| statements but expanded disclosures about certain fair value measurements. The adoption of | |
| the Level 3 disclosures is not expected to materially impact the Plan. | |
| In September 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-25 Plan | |
| Accounting-Defined Contribution Pension Plans: Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined | |
| Contribution Pension Plans, (ASU 2010-25), which clarifies how loans to participants should | |
| be classified and measured by participant defined contribution pension benefit plans. Loans | |
| are required to be classified as notes receivable from participants, which are segregated | |
| from plan investments and measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but | |
| unpaid interest. ASU 2010-25 is applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented | |
| effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010. The Plan adopted ASU 2010-25, but | |
| given the Plan does not allow participant loans, the adoption had no impact on the Plans | |
| financial statements. | |
| 3. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
| The Plan accounts for financial assets using a framework that establishes a hierarchy that | |
| ranks the quality of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value, and | |
| the Plan classifies financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the | |
| following three categories: | |
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; | |
| Level 2 directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices; and | |
| Level 3 unobservable inputs not corroborated by market data. | |
| The fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest | |
| level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. | |
| Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments measured at | |
| fair value. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies used during the | |
| years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009. | |
| For investments that have quoted market prices in active markets, the Plan uses the quoted | |
| market price as fair value and includes these investments in Level 1 of the fair |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 3. |
| --- |
| value hierarchy. The Plan classifies employer securities, registered investment companies
and interest-bearing cash as Level 1. When quoted market prices in active markets are not
available, the Plan bases fair values on underlying market values for the common/collective
trusts provided by the Plan trustee. Further information concerning the common/collective
trusts may be obtained from their separate audited financial statements. The Plan classifies
common/collective trusts as Level 2. The Plan had no investments classified as Level 3
during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. |
| The Plan invests in two common/collective trust funds, the Putnam Bond Index Fund and the
Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund. The common/collective trust funds are valued based upon the
units of the collective trust fund held by the Plan at year end times the respective unit
value. The unit value of the collective trust funds are based upon significant observable
inputs, although is not based upon quoted market prices in an active market. The Putnam Bond
Index Funds investment objective in to achieve a return, before the assessment of fees,
that closely approximates the return of the Barclays Aggregate Bond index, a common measure
of U.S. investment-grade bond market performance. To achieve its investment objective, the
Putnam Bond Index Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securitized debt
instruments, including mortgage-backed and asset backed investments. The Putnam S&P 500
Index Funds investment objective in to achieve a return, before the assessment of fees,
that closely approximates the return of the Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Price
Index, a common measure of U.S. market performance. To achieve its investment objective,
the Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund invests primarily in the securities that constitute the
Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Price Index either directly or through the purchase of
shared of collective investment trusts having investment objectives similar to that of the
Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund. For liquidity and hedging purposes, the Putnam S&P 500 Index
Fund may invest in high-quality, money market instruments and in money market funds that
invest exclusively in high-quality money market instruments. The Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund
also uses stock index futures contracts in order to manage transaction costs and minimize
tracking errors between the Putnam S&P 500 Index Fund and the Standard & Poors 500
Composite Stock Price Index. |
| The underlying investments of the common/collective trust funds consist primarily of Level 1
and Level 2 inputs. Level 1 inputs consist of valuations based on quoted prices for
identical securities in active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of inputs either directly or
indirectly observable for substantially the full term of the asset through corroboration
with observable market data. The Plans investments in the common/collective trust funds are
not subject to any withdrawal restrictions and distributions may be taken at any |

| time. The Plan has no unfunded commitments relating to the common/collective trust funds at
December 31, 2010 and 2009. |
| The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be
indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore,
although the Plan believes the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other
market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair
value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at
the reporting date. |
| The Plan evaluates assets and liabilities (if any) on a recurring basis to determine the
appropriate level at which to classify them for each reporting period. The following table
presents the fair value measurements for the Plans investments by level, within the fair
value hierarchy as of December 31: |

| 5. | TAX STATUS |
|---|---|
| The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated | |
| September 28, 2009 that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the | |
| IRC. Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan | |
| administrator and the Company believe the Plan is designed and is currently being operated | |
| in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. | |
| Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan | |
| management to evaluate tax positions taken by the plan and recognize a tax liability if the | |
| organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be | |
| sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan administrator has | |
| analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, | |
| there are no uncertain positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would require | |
| recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to | |
| routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer | |
| subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007. | |
| 6. | RELATED PARTY AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST |
| The Plan held 232,098 shares of Class A and 53,905 shares of Class B Donegal Group Inc. | |
| common stock with fair values of $3,360,775 and $948,724, respectively, as of December 31, | |
| 2010. The Plan held 239,416 shares of Class A and 54,818 shares of Class B Donegal Group | |
| Inc. common stock with fair values of $3,720,532 and $920,941, respectively, as of December | |
| 31, 2009. The net realized/unrealized depreciation in fair |

|---|---|
| value of Donegal Group Inc. common stock (including Class A and Class B) during 2010 and | |
| 2009 was $180,179 and $265,404, respectively. Dividends received from Donegal Group Inc. in | |
| 2010 and 2009 were $132,816 and $126,374, respectively. During 2010 the Plan purchased | |
| (excluding reinvested dividends) 28,225 shares of Donegal Group Inc. common stock at an | |
| aggregate cost of $395,675 and sold 46,247 shares of Donegal Group Inc. common stock for | |
| total proceeds of $680,286. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Class A shares of Donegal | |
| Group Inc. common stock represent more than 5% of net assets available for benefits. | |
| In addition, certain 2010 and 2009 Plan year investments are interest-bearing cash, | |
| common/collective trusts, and registered investment companies managed by Putnam Investments. | |
| Putnam Investments is the trustee and the custodian as defined by the Plan and, therefore, | |
| these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. | |
| 7. | ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES |
| Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Plans | |
| sponsor. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. All of the | |
| Plans administrative fees, such as trustee fees, and audit fees were paid directly by the | |
| Company in 2010 and 2009. | |
| 8. | PLAN TERMINATION |
