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
Lynch Interactive Corporation's controlling interest in The Morgan Group, Inc.
("Morgan"). Upon the Company's formation as a wholly owned subsidiary of Lynch
Interactive Corporation, Lynch Interactive Corporation made a capital
contribution to MGHL of $500,000. Lynch Interactive Corporation also transferred
to us 161,100 shares of The Morgan Group, Inc.'s outstanding Class A common
stock, warrants to purchase an additional 161,100 such shares at $9.00 per
share, 2,200,000 shares of The Morgan Group, Inc.'s Class B common stock and
warrants to purchase an additional 2,200,000 such shares at $9.00 per share,
giving MGHL control of more than 80% of The Morgan Group, Inc.'s aggregate
voting power. On January 24, 2002, Lynch Interactive spun off all but 235,294 of
its shares in MGHL to its stockholders. Morgan managed the delivery of
manufactured homes, commercial vehicles and specialized equipment.
Unfortunately, a combination of industry dynamics, poor management
decisions, and a surge in insurance costs crippled Morgan. On October 3, 2002
Morgan ceased operations when its liability insurance expired and it was unable
to secure replacement insurance. On October 18, 2002, The Morgan Group, Inc. 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, 2004, the
Debtors were continuing to conduct an orderly liquidation of their assets.
Effective October 15, 2002, the shares of Morgan, Class A Common Stock were
delisted from the American Stock Exchange. The stock exchange determined that
The Morgan Group, Inc.'s Class A Common Stock no longer satisfied Sections 1002,
1003 and 1009 of the listing rules.
On November 12, 2002, Morgan filed a Certification and Notice of
Termination of Registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
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.
Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results
The Company operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a
number of risks, some of which are beyond the Company's control. The following
discussion highlights the most material of the risks.
We have no substantial assets for operations.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company's only assets consisted of $401,000 in
cash and an unrecognized asset relating to capital loss carry forward of about
$4 million. This amount is insufficient to maintain commercially reasonable
operations. In addition, the Company has no product to sell and has no revenue.
We need additional financing.
The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to
take advantage of any available business opportunities. Even if the Company's
currently available funds prove to be sufficient until it is able to acquire an
interest in, or complete a transaction with, a business opportunity, such funds
will not be sufficient to enable it to exploit the opportunity. There is no
assurance that additional capital will be available from any source or, if
available, that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If
additional funds are not available, the Company's operations will be limited to
those that can be financed with its modest capital.
There are conflicts of interest inherent in our existence as a company and
acquisition candidate.
Certain conflicts of interest exist between the Company and its officers
and directors. Such individuals have other business interests to which they
currently devote attention, and are expected to continue to do so. Consequently,
conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise
of judgment in a manner which is consistent with their fiduciary duties to the
Company.
It is anticipated that the Company's principal stockholders may actively
negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common
stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition
transaction. In this process, the Company's principal stockholders may consider
their own personal pecuniary benefit rather than the best interest of other
Company stockholders. Depending upon the nature of a proposed transaction,
Company stockholders other than the principal stockholders may not be afforded
the opportunity to approve or consent to a particular transaction.
There is no assurance of success or profitability.
There is no assurance that the Company will acquire a favorable business
opportunity. Should the Company become involved in a business opportunity, there
is no assurance that it will generate revenues or profits, or that the market
price of the Company's outstanding shares will be increased thereby.
The potential business opportunity has not been identified and may be
highly risky.
The Company has not identified, nor has it initiated, any commitments to
enter into or acquire a specific business opportunity. As a result, it is only
able to make general disclosures concerning the risks and hazards of acquiring a
business opportunity, rather than providing disclosure with respect to specific
risks and hazards. As a general matter, prospective investors can expect any
potential business opportunity to be quite risky.
The type of business opportunity that may be acquired presents certain
risks.
The type of business to be acquired may be one that desires to avoid
effecting its own public offering and the accompanying expense, delays,
uncertainties, and onerous federal and state requirements. Because of the
Company's limited capital, it is more likely than not that any acquisition by
the Company will involve other parties whose primary interest is the acquisition
of control of a publicly traded company. Moreover, any business opportunity
acquired may be currently unprofitable or present other negative factors.
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 during the fourth quarter of 2004.

Inc. The transfer of the controlling interest was made to us on December
18, 2001. The accompanying combined financial data represents the
combination, on a retroactive basis, of all of Lynch Interactive
Corporation's interest in The Morgan Group, Inc. and the consolidated
financial statements of The Morgan Group, Inc. as if the transfer by Lynch
-5-
Interactive Corporation occurred on January 1, 1998. Subsequent to December
18, 2002, the financial statements represent the consolidated results of
the Company. During 2002, due to Morgan's ceasing operations, its financial
results are treated as discontinued operations in the above data. On
October 18, 2002, Morgan filed for bankruptcy and adopted the liquidation
basis of accounting and the Company deconsolidated Morgan at that point.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of
Operation.
Overview
The Company was incorporated in November 2001 as a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Lynch Interactive Corporation ("Interactive") to serve as an acquisition
vehicle. Initially, we received $500,000 cash and 68.5% of The Morgan Group,
Inc. (Morgan)'s equity interest and 80.8% of Morgan's voting interest. On
January 24, 2002, Interactive spun off 2,820,051 shares of our common stock
through a pro rata distribution ("Spin-Off") to its stockholders. Interactive
retained 235,294 shares at the time of the spin-off.
A combination of industry dynamics, poor management decisions, and a surge
in insurance costs crippled Morgan. On October 3, 2002 Morgan ceased 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 is in the process of liquidation, in the accompanying financial
statements the assets and liabilities and results of operations of Morgan have
been reflected as a discontinued operation. In addition, the Company's
management currently believes that it is very unlikely that the Company will
realize any value from its equity ownership in Morgan. Given the fact that
Holding has no obligation or intention to fund any of Morgan's liabilities,
management believes that the Company's investment in Morgan will 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. The
Company's investment in Morgan was a negative of $2,182,000 at the date of
adoption of the plan of liquidation, this resulted in a gain to Holdings of that
amount in 2002.
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.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company's only assets consisted of $401,000 in
cash and an unrecognized asset relating to capital loss carryforward of about $4
million.
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 year ended December 31, 2004, the Company incurred administrative
expenses of $2,000 as compared to $35,000 in 2003 and $64,000 during the year
ended December 31, 2002, when additional non-recurring professional fees were
incurred.
Investment income of $4,000, $3,000 and $6,000 was recorded during the
three years ended December 31, 2004 respectively as a result of the Company's
investment in a United States Treasury money market fund.

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 our common stock through
a pro rata distribution ("Spin-Off") to its stockholders. Interactive
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
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 financial statements, the assets and
liabilities and results of operations of Morgan have been reflected as a
discontinued operation. 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. As Holding's
investment in Morgan was a negative $2,182,000, at the date of adoption of
the plan of liquidation, this resulted in a gain to Holding of that amount.
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.
Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in combination/consolidation.
Net loss 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, 2004 and 2003 all cash and cash equivalents were
invested in a United States Treasury money market fund, which an affiliate
of the Company serves as the investment manager.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect,
in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation, in all
-12-
material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for
the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
through October, 18, 2002, its majority owned subsidiary, Morgan. Morgan
has the following subsidiaries: Morgan Drive Away, Inc., TDI, Inc.,
Interstate Indemnity Company, and Morgan Finance, Inc., all of which are
wholly owned. Morgan Drive Away, Inc. has two subsidiaries, Transport
Services Unlimited, Inc. and MDA Corp. Significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During 2002, Morgan
is treated as a discontinued operations and previously issued financial
statements have been restated to reflect that presentation.
Note 2. Net assets of Discontinued Operation
------------------------------------
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the estimated value of Morgan's assets
in liquidation were insufficient to satisfy its estimated obligations.
Note 3. Goodwill Impairment
-------------------
On January 1, 2002, Morgan adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). This
Standard eliminates goodwill amortization and requires an evaluation of
goodwill for impairment (at the reporting unit level) upon adoption of the
Standard, as well as subsequent evaluations on an annual basis, and more
frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. This impairment
test is comprised of two steps. The initial step is designed to identify
potential goodwill impairment by comparing an estimate of the fair value of
the applicable reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If
the carrying value exceeds fair value, a second step is performed, which
compares the implied fair value of the applicable reporting unit's goodwill
with the carrying amount of that goodwill, to measure the amount of
goodwill impairment, if any. Upon adoption, Morgan performed the
transitional impairment test which resulted in an impairment of $2,290,000
which is classified as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle for the year ended December 31, 2002, as required by SFAS No.
142.
Note 4. Issuance of Non-transferable Warrants
-------------------------------------
On December 12, 2001, Morgan issued non-transferable warrants to
purchase shares of common stock to the holders of Class A and Class B
common stock. Each warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of
their same class of common stock at an exercise price of $9.00 per share
through the expiration date of December 12, 2006. The Class A warrants
provided that the exercise price would be reduced to $6.00 per share during
a Reduction Period of at least 30 days during the five-year exercise
period.
On February 19, 2002, Morgan's Board of Directors agreed to set the
exercise price reduction period on the Class A warrants to begin on
February 26, 2002 and to extend for 63 days, expiring on April 30, 2002
(the "Reduction Period"). Morgan's Board of Directors agreed to reduce the
exercise price of the warrants to $2.25 per share, instead of $6.00 per
share, during the Reduction Period. Morgan's Board of Directors reduced the
exercise price to $2.25 to give warrant holders the opportunity to purchase
shares at a price in the range of recent trading prices of the Class A
common stock. All other terms regarding the warrants, including the
expiration date of the warrants, remain the same. As of the close of the
temporary Reduction Period on April 30, 2002, Morgan received $535,331 with
the exercise of 237,925 warrants at $2.25 each. The Company exercised 5,000
of its warrants. Subsequent to the exercise, the Company owned 64.2% of
Morgan's equity interest and 77.6% of Morgan's voting ownership.
Unexercised warrants remain outstanding and exercisable at $9.00 each.

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. Segment Reporting
-----------------
As the results of operations of the Morgan Group are currently being
accounted for as discontinued operation and the Holding currently have
limited operations there is no Segment Reporting.
Note 7. 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 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure.

-14-
- ----------------------
Mario J. Gabelli has served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Lynch Interactive since December 2004 (and also from September 1999 to December
2002) and Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer from December 2002 to
December 2004. He is also the Vice Chairman (and from 1986 to August 2001
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) of Lynch Corporation; Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer and a director of Gabelli Asset
Management Inc. 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 Gabelli Asset
Management); and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gabelli Group Capital
Partners, Inc., a private company.
Robert E. Dolan has served as Chief Financial Officer since January 2004;

Chief Financial Officer (1992-2000) and Controller (1990-2000) of Lynch

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 11. Executive Compensation.
The Company does not pay any compensation to any person, including its
directors and executive officers.
Item 12. 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, 2004 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.
We believe that each stockholder has sole voting power and sole dispositive
power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by him. Unless otherwise
indicated, the address of each person listed below is 401 Theodore Fremd Avenue,
Rye, New York 10580.
Number of Shares of
Common Stock Percent of
Beneficial Owner Beneficially Owned Ownership
- ---------------- ------------------ ---------
Mario J. Gabelli ................... 858,384(1) 28.1%
Robert E. Dolan .................... 579(2) **
Lynch Interactive Corporation ...... 235,294 9.7%
All directors and executive officers
as a group (2 in total) ............ 858,963 28.1%
-------------------
** Less than 1%
(1) Represents 283,090 shares of common stock owned directly by Mr. Gabelli,
340,000 shares owned by a limited partnership in which Mr. Gabelli is the
general partner and has approximately a .625% interest, and 235,294 shares
owned by Lynch Interactive Corporation (Mr. Gabelli is a "control person"
of Lynch Interactive Corporation and therefore shares owned by Lynch
Interactive Corporation are set forth in the table as also beneficially
owned by Mr. Gabelli). Mr. Gabelli disclaims beneficial ownership of the
shares owned by the partnership and Lynch Interactive Corporation, except
for his interest therein.
(2) Includes 70 shares registered in the name of Mr. Dolan's children with
respect to which Mr. Dolan has voting and investment power and 109 shares
owned by Mr. Dolan through the Lynch Interactive Corporation 401(k) Savings
Plan.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
Each of our directors and officers is also an officer of Lynch Interactive
Corporation.
On December 18, 2001, Lynch Interactive Corporation made a capital
contribution to us of $500,000 and assigned to us a services agreement with The
Morgan Group, Inc. pursuant to which The Morgan Group, Inc. agreed to pay
$100,000 per year for certain management services. The Morgan Group, Inc. has
not made any payments under this agreement since the first quarter of 2001 and
as a result of the bankruptcy and liquidation of its assets, the Company does
not expect to recover any amounts due under such agreement.
Immediately after the spin-off, Lynch Interactive Corporation retained
235,294 shares of the Company's common stock, which it held as escrow agent for
Cascade Investment LLC, the holder of an outstanding convertible promissory note
issued by Lynch Interactive Corporation. In the event that Cascade Investment
LLC converted all
-16-
or a portion of the principal amount of that note into shares of Lynch
Interactive Corporation common stock prior to December 10, 2004, Lynch
Interactive Corporation would have transferred to Cascade Investment LLC a pro
rata portion of those 235,294 shares of common stock, depending on how much of
the principal amount of such note was converted, to Cascade Investment LLC.
However, on November 29, 2002, Lynch Interactive repurchased the remaining
outstanding principal amount such notes from Cascade Investment LLC and, as a
result, the 235,294 shares will be retained by Lynch Interactive Corporation.
Lynch Interactive Corporation has advised the Company that it will sell or
dispose of any shares of our common stock retained by it prior to the fifth
anniversary of the spin-off.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The Company did not engage an independent auditor to audit its financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and did not incur any audit
fees, audit-related fees, tax fees or other fees.
