Principal Accountant Fees and Services 13 PART I ------ Item 1. Business. Morgan Group Holding Co. (the "Company" or "MGHL") was incorporated in November 2001 to serve, among other business purposes, as a holding company for LICT Corporation's ("LICT") controlling interest in The Morgan Group, Inc. ("Morgan"). On January 24, 2002, LICT spun off all but 235,294 of its shares in MGHL to its stockholders. On October 18, 2002, Morgan and two of its operating subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. As of December 31, 2006, the debtors of Morgan were continuing to conduct an orderly liquidation of their assets. The Company expects that its ownership interest in Morgan will have no residual value upon completion of the liquidation of the assets of The Morgan Group Inc. The Company's strategy is to look for additional investment opportunities. However the loss did yield a capital loss of about $4 million. The Company is continuing to evaluate all options available to Morgan at this time. One option is to make a further distribution of any remaining cash effectively liquidating the company. Item 2. Properties. The Company owns no properties. Item 3. Legal Proceedings. The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings. Item 4. Submission of Matters To a Vote of Security Holders. None. PART II ------- Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. The shares of the Company's common stock trade on the over-the-counter, under the symbol: MGHL.PK. The following table sets forth the high and low market prices of the common stock for the periods indicated, as reported by published sources. High Low ---- --- 2006 Fiscal Year ---------------- First Quarter $0.13 $0.108 Second Quarter $0.12 $0.112 Third Quarter $0.12 $0.10 Fourth Quarter $0.15 $0.10 2005 Fiscal Year ---------------- First Quarter $0.09 $0.08 Second Quarter $0.10 $0.08 Third Quarter $0.115 $0.09 Fourth Quarter $0.101 $0.09 As of March 13, 2007, there were approximately 800 holders of record of the Company's common stock. 3 The Company has never declared a cash dividend on its common stock and its Board of Directors does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. Forward-Looking Statements and Uncertainty of Financial Projections Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information but relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Overview As of December 31, 2006, the Company's only assets consisted of $423,000 in cash and a capital loss carry forward of about $4 million which it expects will expire in 2012. The ability to utilize this carry forward is dependent on the Company's ability to generate a capital gain prior to its expiration. The Company currently has no operating businesses and will seek acquisitions as part of its strategic alternatives. Its only costs are the administrative expenses required to make the regulatory filings needed to maintain its public status. These costs are estimated at $25,000 to $50,000 per year. Currently, the Company has not retained an independent auditor or incurred other accounting and administrative fees, therefore its expenses in 2006 and 2005 are well below this estimate. We are evaluating all options available to Morgan at this time. One option is to make a further distribution of any remaining cash effectively liquidating the company. Results of Operations For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company incurred administrative expenses of $4,000 as compared to $3,000 in 2005. Administrative expenses are lower than expected due to the Company's inability to retain an independent auditor. Investment income was $19,000 during the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to $10,000 during 2005 respectively as a result of the Company's investment in a United States Treasury money market fund. Higher interest rates caused the increase in 2006. Liquidity and Capital Resources At December 31, 2006, we had approximately $423,000 in cash as compared to approximately $408,000 at December 31, 2005 Quantative and Qualitative Analysis of Market Risk The Company is minimally exposed to changes in market risk because as of December 31, 2006 the Company has no market sensitive assets or liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements Note 1. Basis of Presentation --------------------- Morgan Group Holding Co. ("Holding" or "the Company") was incorporated in November 2001 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of LICT Corporation ("") to serve, among other business purposes, as a holding company for LICT's controlling interest in The Morgan Group, Inc. ("Morgan"). On December 18, 2001, LICT's controlling interest in Morgan was transferred to Holding. At the time, Holding owned 68.5% of Morgan's equity interest and 80.8% of Morgan's voting interest. On January 24, 2002, LICT spun off 2,820,051 shares of our common stock through a pro rata distribution ("Spin-Off") to its stockholders. LICT retained 235,294 shares of our common stock to be distributed in connection with the potential conversion of a convertible note that had been issued by LICT. Such note was repurchased by LICT in 2002 and LICT retains the shares. On October 3, 2002, Morgan ceased its operations when its liability insurance expired and it was unable to secure replacement insurance. On October 18, 2002, Morgan and two of its operating subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division for the purpose of conducting an orderly liquidation of Morgan's assets. . In addition, Holding's management currently believes, it is very unlikely that it will realize any value from its equity ownership in Morgan, and given the fact that Holding has no obligation or intention to fund any of Morgan's liabilities, its investment in Morgan was believed to have no value after the liquidation. As the liquidation of Morgan is under the control of the bankruptcy court, the Company believes it has relinquished control of Morgan and accordingly, has ceased consolidating the financial statements of Morgan.. On October 18, 2002, Morgan adopted the liquidation basis of accounting and, accordingly, Morgan's assets and liabilities have been adjusted to estimate net realizable value. As the carry value of Morgan's liabilities exceeded the fair value of its assets, the liabilities were reduced to equal the estimated net realizable value of the assets. Net income per common share ("EPS") is computed using the number of common shares issued in connection with the Spin-Off as if such shares had been outstanding for all periods presented. All highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates its fair value based on its nature. At December 31, 2006 and 2005 all cash and cash equivalents were invested in a United States Treasury money market fund, of which an affiliate of the Company serves as the investment manager. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the carrying value of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables and long-term debt approximates their fair values. Fair value is determined based on expected future cash flows, discounted at market interest rates, and other appropriate valuation methodologies. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 158 "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans--an amendment of SFAS Nos. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)". This statement requires the recognition of the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in 8 which the changes occur through comprehensive income. This statement also requires the measurement of the funded status of a plan as of the date of the year-end balance sheet and disclosure in the notes to financial statements, additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. This statement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The implementation of SFAS No. 158 had no effect on the Company's financial statements. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements". This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 creates consistency and comparability in fair value measurements among the many accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements but does not require any new fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108 expressing the staff's views regarding the process of quantifying financial statement misstatements. The staff believes that in making materiality evaluations of correcting a financial statement misstatement, management should quantify the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements on the current year financial statements. The cumulative effect of the initial application, if any, should be reported in the carrying amount of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the fiscal year and the offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This SAB is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". An uncertain tax position will be recognized if it is determined that it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this Interpretation is to be reported as a separate adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Upon adoption, management estimates that there will not be a significant adjustment to retained earnings for a change in reserves for uncertain tax positions and is in the process of finalizing its analysis. Note 2. Net assets of Discontinued Operation ------------------------------------ At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the estimated value of Morgan's assets in liquidation were insufficient to satisfy its estimated obligations. Note 5. Income Taxes ------------ No income tax benefit has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as the realization of such losses, for income tax purposes, is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period when such losses would be deductible. Therefore, the recording of the deferred tax asset of $1.5 million would be inconsistent with applicable accounting rules. Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies ----------------------------- Holding has not guaranteed any of the obligations of Morgan and it has no further commitment or obligation to fund any creditors. Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. Not Applicable. 9 Item 8A. Controls and Procedures. (a) Information required by Item 307 Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As required by Rule 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer as well as our principal financial officer, who concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) Information required by Item 308(c) None Item 8B. Other Information. None. PART III -------- Item 9. Directors and Executive Officers of the Registrant. The following table sets forth the name, business address, present principal occupation, employment history, positions, offices or employments for the past five years and ages as of March 25, 2006 for our executive officers and directors. Members of the board are elected and serve for one year terms or until their successors are elected and qualify. Name Age Position ---- --- -------- Mario J. Gabelli 64 Chief Executive Officer and Director Robert E. Dolan 55 Chief Financial Officer and Director ---------------------- Mario J. Gabelli has served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since November 2001. Mr. Gabelli has served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer -Value Portfolios of GAMCO Investors Inc. ("GAMCO") and its predecessors since November 1976 (and in connection with those responsibilities, he serves as director or trustee and/or an officer of registered investment companies managed by subsidiaries of GAMCO). With regard to LICT Corporation, he has served as its Chairman since December 2004 (and also from September 1999 to December 2002), as our Vice Chairman from December 2002 to December 2004 and as Chief Executive Officer from September 1999 to November 2005. Mr. Gabelli serves as an Overseer of Columbia University Graduate School of Business; a Trustee of Boston College, Roger Williams University and the Winston Churchill Foundation. 10 Robert E. Dolan has served as our Chief Financial Officer since November 2001. With regard to LICT Corporation, he has served as Chief Executive Officer from May 1, 2006, Chief Financial Officer from September 1999 and Controller from September 1999 to January 2004. Compensation of Directors The Company does not compensate its directors at the present time, although it may do so in the future. The Company does, however, indemnify directors pursuant to Delaware law and may reimburse them for certain out-of-pocket costs in connection with serving as directors. Indemnification of Directors and Officers Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities. The Company's certificate of incorporation provides that its directors and officers shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware law. The certificate of incorporation also provides that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as amended from time to time, indemnify and advance expenses to each of its currently acting and former directors, officers, employees and agents. Delaware law provides that a corporation may limit the liability of each director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages except for liability: o for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, o for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, o in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases and o For any transaction which the director derives an improper personal benefit. The Company's certificate of incorporation provides for the elimination and limitation of the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, the certificate of incorporation provides that if Delaware law is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of our directors shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as amended. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the Company's rights and its stockholders rights, through stockholders' derivative suits, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director, except in the situations described above. This provision does not limit or eliminate the Company's rights or its stockholders' rights to seek non-monetary relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's duty of care. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted for its directors, officers, and controlling persons, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission this sort of indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents where indemnification will be required or permitted. Item 10. Executive Compensation. The Company has not paid any compensation to any person, including its directors and executive officers, since inception. Item 11. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters. The following table sets forth information concerning ownership of our common stock as of March 25, 2006 by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the common stock, each director, each executive officer, and by all directors and executive officers as a group. 11 We believe that each stockholder has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by him.
