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. Holding received no value for its equity ownership from the bankruptcy proceeding. 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 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 months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. 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. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-05 which amended ASC 820 as it relates to the measurement of liabilities at fair value, effective for interim reporting periods beginning after August 26, 2009. More specifically, this amendment provided clarification for liabilities in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. The Company adopted this amendment during the first quarter of the fiscal year 2010 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855, Subsequent Events ("ASC 855"), during the third quarter of the fiscal year 2009. ASC 855 establishes standards of accounting for and disclosure of transactions and events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued and requires the disclosure, among other things, of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 which amended ASC 855. This amendment, which was effective upon issuance, removed the requirement for SEC registrants to disclose the date through which such registrants have evaluated subsequent events. Note 2. 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. 6 Note 3. Commitments and Contingencies ------------------------------- On March 31, 2008, the bankruptcy court dismissed Morgan's bankruptcy proceeding. Holding had not guaranteed any of the obligations of Morgan. Management believes that the Company has no commitment or obligation to fund any creditors of Morgan. 7 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview 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 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 $30,000 to $40,000 per year. Results of Operations For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred $15,509 of expenses down slightly from $16,286 of expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Lower professional fees in 2010 caused the slight decrease in this quarter. Investment income was $51 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $402 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of the Company's investment in a United States Treasury money market fund. Lower interest rates were the primary cause of the decrease in 2010. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2010, the Company's only assets consisted of approximately $375,985 in cash 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. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements None. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Market Risk As of March 31, 2010, the Company had no market sensitive assets or liabilities, and, as a result, management believes that the Company is minimally exposed to changes in market risk. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements For a discussion of accounting standards updates that have been adopted or will be adopted in the future, please read Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements included under Item 1. Item 4T. 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. 8 (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 go forward basis. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
