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 LICT Corporation (“LICT, formerly Lynch Interactive Corporation”) to serve, among other business purposes, as a holding company for LICT’s controlling interest in The Morgan Group, Inc. (“Morgan”). On January 24, 2002, LICT spun off 2,820,051 shares of Holding common stock through a pro rata distribution (“Spin-Off”) to its stockholders and retained 235,294 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. On March 31, 2008, the bankruptcy proceeding was concluded and the bankruptcy court dismissed the proceeding. The Company received no value for its equity ownership from the bankruptcy proceeding. The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 Article 8 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 June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. 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 affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Note 2.		Significant Accounting Policies
		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 September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 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. The Company invests in marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.
Note 3.		Income Taxes
		The Company is a “C” corporation for Federal tax purposes, and has provided for deferred income taxes for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of its assets and liabilities. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset of approximately $1.7 million arising from its temporary basis differences and tax loss carryforward, as its realization is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period when such losses would be deductible. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of any of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards may be limited if cumulative changes in ownership of more than 50% occur during any three year period.

Note 4.		Commitments and Contingencies
		From time to time the Company may be subject to certain asserted and unasserted claims. It is the Company’s belief that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position. The Company has not guaranteed any of the obligations of Morgan and believes it currently has no commitment or obligation to fund any creditors.
Note 5.		Shareholders’ Equity
		In August 2010, the Company’s stock transfer agent mistakenly escheated to the State of Connecticut the 276,250 shares of the Company’s stock owned by Mario J. Gabelli, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Those shares represented 9.0415% of the Company’s stock then outstanding. All of those shares were subsequently sold by the State of Connecticut and Mr. Gabelli was unable to recover them. On August 6, 2012, Mr. Gabelli reached a settlement agreement with the transfer agent under which the transfer agent made a payment to the Company of $57,705, the amount required to pay the price of $0.19 per share for 303,710 shares of its stock. That is the number of shares required to return Mr. Gabelli to his previous ownership position of 9.0415% of the Company’s outstanding stock. The Company subsequently issued 303,710 shares of its stock to Mr. Gabelli. With the issuance of such shares, there are 3,359,055 shares of the Company’s stock outstanding. For accounting purposes, the Company recorded the issuance of shares at $0.14 per share, $42,519. The remaining amount of $15,186 was treated as a reimbursement of previously incurred legal expenses relating to the settlement of the erroneous escheatment and has been recognized as Other Income in the enclosed Condensed Statement of Operations. Effective November 1, 2012, the Company appointed Jonathan P. Evans as its Chief Executive Officer. The Company may negotiate a sale of shares of its common stock to Mr. Evans and may also negotiate some form of equity compensation or participation for him.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

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.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $4,991 of administrative expenses down from $22,813 of expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2011, due to decreased legal fees for various administrative matters. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred $32,394 of expenses, down from $42,292 of expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due to decreased legal and accounting fees.

The company invests in marketable securities that are subject to a publicly disclosed acquisition offer but are trading below the proposed acquisition price. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the company recorded $500 of net realized and unrealized gains from this activity, as compared to net gains of $2,094 in the three months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $2,288 of net realized and unrealized gains from this activity, as compared to net gains of $8,032 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, the Company also received $400 in dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compare to $324 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, also as a result of this marketable security program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the company recorded $690 of dividend income as compared to $876 of dividend income in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Interest income from the Company investment in a United States Treasury money market fund was $17 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 period as the result of the lower investments in Treasury securities in 2011. Comparable amounts for the nine month periods ended September 30, were $25 in 2012 and $48 in 2011, as a result of lower rates of return on Treasury securities in 2012.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company received reimbursement from its transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, of $15,186 for previously incurred legal fees (see Note 5 to the Condensed Financial Statements).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s principal assets consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $369,267 and a capital loss carry forward of about $4.5 million which it expects will substantially expire in 2013. The ability to utilize this carry forward is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate a capital gain prior to its expiration.

As discussed in Note 5 to the Condensed Financial Statements, during August 2012, the Company received a settlement of $57,705 from its transfer agent to settle a mistaken escheatment of the Company’s shares owned by its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The settlement was used to reimburse the Company for legal expenses in the amount of $15,186, and as payment for the issuance of replacement shares to its Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in the amount of $42,519.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Market Risk

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K and thus is not required to report the Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Market Risk specified in Item 305 of Regulation S-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were designed and were functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls

     During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our financial statements.

Forward Looking Discussion

This report contains a number of forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the prospective adequacy of the Company’s liquidity and capital resources in the near term. From time to time, the Company may make other oral or written forward-looking statements regarding its anticipated operating revenues, costs and expenses, earnings and other matters affecting its operations and condition. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of material factors, which could cause the statements or projections contained therein to be materially inaccurate. Such factors include the estimated administrative expenses of the Company on a going-forward basis.
