PART I

Item 1. Business.

Morgan Group Holding Co. (the “Company” or “Holding”) 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 the Company 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. On March 31, 2008, the bankruptcy proceeding was concluded and the bankruptcy court dismissed the proceeding. There was no appeal from the bankruptcy court’s dismissal of the proceeding, and that proceeding is now entirely ended. Morgan received no value for its equity ownership from the bankruptcy proceeding.

We are continuing to evaluate all options available to the Company at this time. One option is to make a further distribution of any remaining cash, effectively liquidating the Company.

At present we have no full time employees.

Item1A. Risk Factors

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K and thus are not required to report the risk factors specified in Item 503(c) of Regulation S-K.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 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 our 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, us.

Overview

As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s only assets consisted of approximately $396,000 in cash and marketable securities and a capital loss carry forward of about $4 million which it expects will expire in 2013. The ability to utilize this loss 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.

We are evaluating all options available to the Company 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, 2010, the Company incurred administrative expenses of $31,000 slightly above the $30,000 in 2009.

During 2010, the company began to invest in marketable securities that are subject to a publicly disclosed acquisition offer but are trading below the proposed acquisition price. As such during the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded $43,000 of net realized and unrealized gains from this activity. There was no activity in marketable securities in 2009. Interest income from the Company investment in a United States Treasury money market fund was $175 during the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $900 during 2009 respectively as a result of the lower investment balances in this investment in 2010. The company also received $171 in dividend income in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2010, we had approximately $396,000 in cash and marketable securities as compared to approximately $377,000 at December 31, 2009.

Item 7A. Quantitive and Qualitative Analysis of Market Risk

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Morgan Group Holding Co.

Rye, New York

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Morgan Group Holding Co. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free to material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Morgan Group Holding Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Principles

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 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 Holding common stock through a pro rata distribution (“Spin-Off”) to its stockholders. LICT retained 235,294 shares of Holding 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.

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.

Management believed that it was unlikely that the Company would realize any value from its equity ownership in Morgan and, given the fact that the Company had no obligation or intention to fund any of Morgan’s liabilities, its investment in Morgan was believed to have no value after its liquidation. Because the liquidation of Morgan was under the control of the bankruptcy court, the Company believed it had relinquished control of Morgan and, accordingly, deconsolidated its ownership interest Morgan in its financial statements during 2002. On March 31, 2008, the bankruptcy proceeding was concluded and the bankruptcy court dismissed the proceeding. Morgan received no value for its equity ownership from the bankruptcy proceeding.

Significant Accounting Principles

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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, 2010 and 2009 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.

Earnings per Share

Net profit (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed using the average number of common shares outstanding over the respective periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and 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.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events and transactions occurring subsequent to the date of the financial statements for matters requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The accompanying financial statements consider events through March 1, 2011.

Note 2. Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of publicly traded common stocks. The Company’s investments in marketable securities are classified as trading under ASC 320 (formerly FASB 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”) and are carried at their estimated fair value based on current market quotes. The Company acquires its marketable securities on the open market through an affiliate of its Chairman and securities are held in an account at the same affiliate. The Company reports the unrealized gains or losses through the current period Statement of Operations. At December 31, 2010, there was $1,562 of unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in marketable securities which was included in earning for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) and subsequently adopted the related FASB Staff Positions. The Company measures fair value as the selling price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal market on the measurement date. The hierarchy established by the FASB prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used in the valuation technique. The inputs are categorized into the following levels:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for identical or similar assets and liabilities in active or non-active markets; or model-derived valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs not corroborated by market data, therefore requiring the entity to use the best available information, including management assumptions.

Market value was determined using Level 1 inputs, which are quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

At December 31, 2010, the Gross Unrealized Losses are as follows:

Description	Cost Basis	Gross Unrealized Losses	Estimated Fair Value
Equity	$205,102	$1,562	$203,53940

While the above Estimated Fair Value was based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets at the reporting date, the quoted price was significantly impacted by an offer to acquire all of the outstanding of stock of that entity. The transactions closed subsequent to the reporting date at an amount in excess of the above Estimated Fair Value.

Note 4. Investment in Morgan Group, Inc.

Upon Morgan’s bankruptcy filing, the Company has deconsolidated its investment, as the Company believes it no longer has controlling or significant influence. At December 31, 2007, the estimated value of Morgan’s assets in liquidation was insufficient to satisfy its estimated obligations. 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.

Note 5. 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. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has an unused net operating loss carryforward of $136,386 and $105,422 available for use on its future corporate income tax returns which will expire during the years 2020 through 2030. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has an unused net capital loss carryforward of $4,404,129 and $4,448,544 available for use on its future corporate income tax returns which will expire during the years 2013.The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset of approximately $588 arising from its temporary basis differences, 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.

Cumulative temporary differences at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

	December 31,
	2010			2009
Deferred tax assets:
Temporary basis difference	$	588		$	--
Net capital loss carryover		1,657,274			1,673,987
Net operating losses carryover		53,122			41,062
		1,710,984			1,715,049
Valuation allowance		(1,710,984	)		(1,715,049	)
	$	--		$	--

Income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 is comprised of:

	December 31,
	2010			2009
Current income tax provision (benefit)	$	--		$	--
Deferred income tax provision (benefit)		4,065			(11,175	)
Change in valuation allowance		(4,065	)		11,175
Income tax benefit	$	--		$	--

The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to net loss is as follows:

	December 31,
	2010			2009
Tax provision(benefit) at statutory rate	$	4,042		$	(9,755	)
State taxes, net of federal expense		23			(1,420	)
Change of valuation allowance		(4,065	)		11,175
	$	-		$	-

Note 6. 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.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Not Applicable.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

(a) 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, Management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2010. 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) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control of Financial Reporting.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of a registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by a registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

There was no significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We presently do not have an audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, an executive committee of our board of directors, stock plan committee or any other committees. Currently, our full board of serves as the audit committee and approves, when applicable, the appointment of auditors and the inclusion of financial statements in our periodic reports. Mr. Dolan is deemed to be an “audit committee financial expert.”

We have not made any changes to the process by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the board of directors since our last annual report.

Code of Ethics

We have not yet adopted a corporate code of ethics. Our board of directors is considering whether in light of the nature of our company and its lack on any operations, it is necessary or appropriate to adopt a formal corporate code of ethics. If it determined that such a code would be necessary or appropriate, it will then consider establishing, over the next year, a code of ethics to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.

Legal Proceedings

Neither of our directors and executive officers has been involved in legal proceedings that would be material to an evaluation of our management.

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 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:

· for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders,

· for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,

· in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases and

· 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.
