Morgan Group Holding Co.
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 Lynch Interactive Corporation
("Interactive") to serve, among other business purposes, as a holding
company for Interactive's controlling interest in The Morgan Group, Inc.
("Morgan"). On December 18, 2001, Interactive'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, Interactive spun off 2,820,051 shares of the Company's common
stock through a pro rata distribution ("Spin-Off") to its stockholders.
Interactive retained 235,294 shares of the Company's common stock to be
distributed in connection with the potential conversion of a convertible
note that had been issued by Interactive. Such note was repurchased by
Interactive in 2002 and Interactive 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.
As Morgan has ceased operations and is in the process liquidating itself,
in the accompanying balance sheet, the assets and liabilities of Morgan
have been reflected as one line. Holding's management currently believes
that the estimated value of Morgan's assets in liquidation are insufficient
to satisfy its estimated obligation, and therefore, it is very unlikely
that Holding will realize any value from its equity ownership in Morgan.
Furthermore, Holding has no obligation or intention to fund any of Morgan's
liabilities, therefore, Holding's 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, Holding 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
estimated 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. Accordingly, at
September 30, 2004, December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2003, in the
accompanying balance sheet, the Net Assets of The Morgan Group, Inc. were
recorded at $0.
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.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Articles 10 and 11 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from these estimates.
Note 2. Income Taxes
No income tax benefit has been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements, as the realization of losses, for income tax purposes, is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period
when such losses would be deductible. As of September 30, 2004, the Company
has a tax loss carryforward, primarily a capital loss carryforward, of
approximately $4.0 million. The recording of the deferred tax asset of $1.5
million associated with this loss has been fully reserved.

Note 3. 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.
Note 4. Financial Statements not reviewed by Independent Public Accountants
On May 2, 2003, the client-auditor relationship between Holding and Ernst &
Young LLP ceased. As a result, these interim financial statements have not
been reviewed by independent public accountants.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of
Operation.
Overview
On October 18, 2002, Morgan adopted the liquidation basis of accounting and
accordingly, Morgan's assets and liabilities have been adjusted to estimated net
realizable value. As the carrying 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.
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 about $50,000 per year.
Results of Operations
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company incurred $3,000 of
expenses as compared to $35,000 of expenses in the first nine months of 2003,
which included certain one-time professional fees.
For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the Company incurred $2,000 in
operating expenses.
Investment income is earned on the cash balance in a money market fund.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2004, the Company's only assets consisted of $401,000 in
cash and an unrecognized asset relating to a tax loss carryforward, primarily
capital, of about $4 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Quantitative and Quantitative Analysis of Market Risk
The Company is minimally exposed to changes in market risk because as of
September 30, 2004, the Company has no market sensitive assets or liability.
