1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and under the liquidation basis of accounting since July 1, 2001, and pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-QSB. These financial statements have not been audited by independent public accountants but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the net assets, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. Accordingly, certain information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
 
Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2004
(Unaudited)

2 Liquidation

The Company had suffered operating losses in fiscal 2000 and 2001. Ongoing legal costs associated with the litigation related to Big Blue Europe, the costs associated with the Company’s electronic commerce strategy, increases in general overhead costs, and increased interest expense due primarily to increased borrowings, coupled with decreasing sales volumes and gross profit margins, negatively impacted operating results. These factors resulted in the noncompliance of the financial covenants of the Company’s loan agreements. Due to these operating results and the covenant violations, the lender on the American Micro and Nor'Easter lines of credit and the European Micro Holdings, Inc. term loan demanded repayment of the Nor'Easter line of credit before June 15, 2001 and the American Micro line of credit and the European Micro Holdings term loan by August 15, 2001. As a result, during April 2001, the Company decided to cease operations at Nor’Easter and during June 2001, the Company decided to cease operations at Colchester. The Nor’Easter line of credit was repaid on June 15, 2001. The American Micro line of credit was repaid during May 2001. The European Micro Holdings term loan was repaid on August 21, 2001.
 
The contingent earn-out payment of the American Micro acquisition relating to two times the after tax earnings for calendar year 2000 of approximately $1,839,000 was due to the former American Micro shareholders. As a result of financial restrictions imposed by the lender on the American Micro and Nor’Easter lines of credit, on February 20, 2001, the Company delivered two Secured Promissory Notes (“Notes”) to the former American Micro shareholders in the original amount of $823,712 each. The Notes called for monthly principal payments of $50,000, plus interest at 8% commencing April 1, 2001, subject to financial covenant restrictions. Each Note was due in full within (30) days of the satisfaction of the American Micro and Nor’Easter lines of credit. On July 15, 2001, the Company notified the former American Micro shareholders that it would be unable to meet its obligations under each Note. After the repayment of the American Micro and Nor’Easter lines of credit along with the repayment of the European Micro Holdings, Inc. term loan, the Company was no longer restricted from performing its obligations to the American Micro shareholders. On August 22, 2001 the former American Micro shareholders demanded full payment of the Notes. On September 1, 2001 the Notes to the former American Micro shareholders were settled by transfer of all American Micro shares from European Micro Holdings to the former American Micro shareholders.
 
Another factor that negatively impacted the Company’s liquidity was the terms of the borrowing arrangements of European Micro UK. European Micro UK’s borrowing capacity was subject to termination by the lender at lender’s sole discretion and during August, 2001 the lender on the European Micro UK’s line of credit demanded repayment. European Micro UK was able to repay the line of credit with a loan from a significant shareholder. This loan from a significant shareholder was completely repaid on April 3, 2003.
 
Hence, with the complete termination of all lines of credit available to the Company, the closures of Nor’easter and Colchester and the loss of American Micro, the Company had no alternative but to proceed with a complete liquidation of all assets. On July 12, 2005, the Company declared a cash dividend in the aggregate amount of $200,000 on the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by shareholders of record as of August 1, 2005. The dividend was paid on September 1, 2005. As of July 31, 2006, liquidation is almost complete with the only asset being cash in the approximate amount of $20,000.

4 Equity Line of Credit
 
On August 24, 2000, European Micro Holdings, Inc. entered into an Equity Line of Credit (the “Equity Credit Line”). The Company incurred costs of $217,000 to obtain and execute the Equity Credit Line. On December 20, 2000, the Company raised $50,000 by issuing 25,020 shares of common stock under the Equity Credit Line. The Company and the investor agreed to terminate the Equity Credit Line effective May 15, 2001. In connection with such termination, all outstanding warrants held by the investor and the placement agent were terminated. The Company agreed to issue the placement agent warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share, which warrants become exercisable only if the closing bid price of such common stock is $4.00 per share or more for ten consecutive trading days. These warrants expired on August 23, 2005. Since the closing bid price of the common stock was never $4.00 for ten consecutive trading days, the warrants never became exercisable, and as such no expense was recognized.
 
5 Commitments and Contingencies

On November 12, 1999, a New York corporation, Big Blue Products, and its owners Jeffrey and Marie Alnwick (the “Alnwicks”), commenced an action individually and derivatively for the Dutch company, Big Blue Europe, against the Company and its founders and officers, John B. Gallagher and Harry D. Shields in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, Jeffrey Alnwick and Marie Alnwick v. European Micro Holdings, Inc., Eastern District of New York, Docket No. 99 CV 7380 (the “Alnwick Litigation”).

The complaint alleged thirty-three causes of action. Plaintiffs claimed, in substance, that defendants breached oral and written agreements relating to the management, operation and funding of Big Blue Europe. Specifically, plaintiffs alleged that defendants breached the joint venture agreement by which Big Blue Europe was formed, a licensing agreement for use of the “Big Blue” service mark in Europe, a non-competition agreement preventing Big Blue Europe from operating in the United States and several capital contribution agreements. Plaintiffs also claimed that defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Alnwicks, engaged in fraudulent acts, aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties by others, misappropriated trade secrets and interfered with the employment contract of Big Blue Europe’s managing director. The complaint seeked unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as injunctive relief restraining defendants from acting in violation of the alleged agreements.

Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint principally on the basis of forum non-conveniens in favor of existing proceedings in the Netherlands (commenced by European Micro UK), where a Dutch court appointed an independent director to oversee operations of the company. Defendants argued that any dispute between the shareholders and directors of the Dutch company, Big Blue Europe, which operated pursuant to Dutch law, should be resolved by a Dutch court. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York dismissed 31 of the 33 claims brought against the Company on grounds of "forum non conveniens." The Court decided that it would be more appropriate that these claims be adjudicated in The Netherlands, under Dutch Law. The Judge had granted the Plaintiffs in the case (Jeffrey and Marie Alnwick and Big Blue Products) the option to proceed with the remaining two allegations in United States District Court. Plaintiffs requested that these two counts also be dismissed. On April 19, 2001, the Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. In October 2003, the Company and its affiliated defendants entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs. In accordance with the agreement, all parties dismissed all actions and released all claims.

Overview
 
The Company was an independent distributor of microcomputer products, including personal computers, memory modules, disc drives and networking products, to customers mainly in Western Europe and to customers and related parties in the United States and Asia. The Company’s customers consisted of value-added resellers, corporate resellers, retailers, direct marketers and distributors. The Company generally did not sell to end-users. The Company monitored the geographic pricing strategies related to such products, currency fluctuations and product availability in an attempt to obtain inventory at favorable prices from other distributors, resellers and wholesalers.
 
As described in more detail below, during July, 2001 the management approved a plan for the liquidation and eventual sale or dissolution of the Company. Accordingly, we are engaged in an ongoing orderly liquidation of our assets.
 
European Micro Holdings, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada in December 1997 and is the parent of European Micro UK and Nor’Easter. European Micro Holdings, Inc. was formerly the parent of Colchester, American Micro and Engenis. European Micro UK was organized under the laws of the United Kingdom in 1991 to serve as an independent distributor of microcomputer products to customers mainly in Western Europe and to related parties in the United States. Nor’Easter was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 26, 1997 to serve as an independent distributor of microcomputer products in the United States. Colchester was organized under the laws of Singapore in November 1998 to serve as an independent distributor of microcomputer products in Asia. American Micro was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on June 24, 1999 to acquire AMCC and to serve as an independent distributor of microcomputer products in the United States. Premier Pages, Ltd. was formed on January 28, 2000 and later changed their name to Engenis.com Ltd on June 23, 2000. Engenis.com Ltd. was formed under the laws of the United Kingdom to serve as a business-to-business electronic commerce trading company.
 
European Micro UK was formerly the parent of European Micro GmbH (“European Micro Germany”), Sunbelt and European Micro B.V. (“European Micro Holland”) and has a 50% joint venture interest in Big Blue Europe, B.V. (“Big Blue Europe”). European Micro Germany was organized under the laws of Germany in 1993 and operates as a sales office in Düsseldorf, Germany. As of August 2000, the Company closed the sales operations of European Micro Germany. Sunbelt was a company registered in England and Wales, which was established in 1992 and based in Wimbledon, England. Sunbelt operated as a distributor of microcomputer products to dealers, value-added resellers and mass merchants throughout Western Europe. Except for the distribution of its Nova brand products (which was discontinued effective January 2000), Sunbelt’s distribution operations were integrated with and into the operations of European Micro UK. European Micro Holland was organized under the laws of Holland in 1995, and operated as a sales office near Amsterdam, Holland. Big Blue Europe was organized under the laws of Holland in January 1997 and was a computer parts distributor with offices located near Amsterdam, Holland, selling primarily to computer maintenance companies. Big Blue Europe has no affiliation with International Business Machines Corporation.

Plan of Operations
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this filing.
 
Certain statements within this Item and throughout this filing and the documents incorporated herein are “forward-looking statements” as described in the “safe harbor” provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those projected.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company’s only critical accounting estimate pertains to fair value measurement in applying the liquidation basis of accounting. Management’s estimate of fair value is based upon the actual amounts collected from the liquidation of the assets and liabilities. Management does not believe these estimates could significantly change in the future.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company’s primary cash requirements were for operating expenses, funding accounts receivable, the purchase of inventory to support operations, taking greater advantage of available cash discounts offered by certain of the Company’s suppliers for early payment, acquisitions and debt service. The Company had historically funded these cash requirements through a combination of loans, internally generated cash flow and the net proceeds of its initial public offering.
 
General. The Company had suffered operating losses in fiscal 2000 and 2001. Ongoing legal costs associated with the litigation related to Big Blue Europe, the costs associated with the Company’s electronic commerce strategy, increases in general overhead costs, and increased interest expense due primarily to increased borrowings, coupled with decreasing sales volumes and gross profit margins, negatively impacted operating results. These factors resulted in the noncompliance of the financial covenants of the Company’s loan agreements. Due to these operating results and the covenant violations, the lender on the American Micro and Nor'Easter lines of credit and the European Micro Holdings, Inc. term loan demanded repayment of the Nor'Easter line of credit before June 15, 2001 and the American Micro line of credit and the European Micro Holdings term loan by August 15, 2001. As a result, during April 2001, the Company decided to cease operations at Nor’Easter and during June 2001, the Company decided to cease operation at Colchester. The Nor’Easter line of credit was repaid on June 15, 2001. The American Micro line of credit was repaid during May 2001. The European Micro Holdings term loan was repaid on August 21, 2001.
 
The contingent earn-out payment of the American Micro acquisition relating to two times the after tax earnings for calendar year 2000 of approximately $1,839,000 was due to the former American Micro shareholders. As a result of financial restrictions imposed by the lender on the American Micro and Nor’Easter lines of credit, on February 20, 2001, the Company delivered two Secured Promissory Notes (“Notes”) to the former American Micro shareholders in the original amount of $823,712 each. The Notes called for monthly principal payments of $50,000, plus interest at 8% commencing April 1, 2001, subject to financial covenant restrictions. Each Note was due in full within (30) days of the satisfaction of the American Micro and Nor’Easter lines of credit. On July 15, 2001, the Company notified the former American Micro shareholders that it would be unable to meet its obligations under each Note. After the repayment of the American Micro and Nor’Easter lines of credit along with the repayment of the European Micro Holdings, Inc. term loan, the Company was no longer restricted from performing its obligations to the American Micro shareholders. On August 22, 2001 the former American Micro shareholders demanded full payment of the Notes. On September 1, 2001 the notes payable to the former American Micro shareholders were settled by transfer of all American Micro shares from European Micro Holdings to the former American Micro shareholders.

Another factor that negatively impacted the Company’s liquidity was the terms of the borrowing arrangements of European Micro UK. European Micro UK’s borrowing capacity was subject to termination by the lender at the lender’s sole discretion. During August, 2001 the lender on the European Micro UK’s line of credit demanded repayment. European Micro UK was able to repay the line of credit with a loan from a significant shareholder.
 
Hence, with the complete termination of all lines of credit available to the Company, the closures of Nor’easter and Colchester and the loss of American Micro, the Company had no alternative but to proceed with a complete liquidation of all assets. On July 12, 2005, the Company declared a cash dividend in the aggregate amount of $200,000 on the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by shareholders of record as of August 1, 2005. The dividend was paid on September 1, 2005. As of July 31, 2006, liquidation is almost complete with the only asset being cash in the approximate amount of $20,000.
 
Item 3. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

The Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report, have concluded that as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Co-Chief Executive Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls:
 
In connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls during the Company’s last fiscal quarter, the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers have determined that there are no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
On November 12, 1999, Jeffrey and Marie Alnwick (the “Alnwicks”) and a New York corporation, Big Blue Products, commenced an action individually and derivatively for the Dutch company, Big Blue Europe, against the Company and its founders and officers, John B. Gallagher and Harry D. Shields in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, Jeffrey Alnwick and Marie Alnwick v. European Micro Holdings, Inc., Eastern District of New York, Docket No. 99 CV 7380 (the “Alnwick Litigation”).
 
In October 2003, the Company and its affiliated defendants entered into a settlement agreement whereby the plaintiffs discontinued the litigation and released all claims against the defendants. The parties bore their own legal costs and expenses and exchanged mutual releases.
 
In December 2001, a former shareholder of Sunbelt served a statutory demand upon European Micro UK in the sum of 92,710 pounds sterling. This sum was subsequently reduced to 73,940 pounds sterling. On April 19, 2002 Judge Kershaw QC granted the European Micro UK an injunction preventing the former shareholder from presenting a petition in this sum based upon the statutory demand. On July 31, 2002 the Court of Appeal dismissed European Micro UK’s claim and ordered the costs to be paid. In August 2003, the debt plus costs and interest owed the former shareholder of Sunbelt was assigned to Harry Shields, a shareholder of European Micro Holdings, Inc., for the sum of 107,000 pounds sterling.
