The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances.
 
Unless the context otherwise requires and except as otherwise specified, references herein to “European Micro” or the “Company” include European Micro Holdings, Inc. and its five wholly-owned subsidiaries, European Micro Plc, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (“European Micro UK”), Nor’Easter Micro, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Nor’Easter”), Colchester Enterprise Pte. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Singapore (“Colchester), American Micro Computer Center, Inc., a Florida corporation (“American Micro”), Engenis.com Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (“Engenis”), (collectively, the five wholly-owned subsidiaries are referred to as the “Subsidiaries”).
 
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 operated 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.

European Micro Holding’s headquarters are located at 450 Fairway Drive, Suite 105, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441, and its telephone number is (954) 596-0249.
 
Industry
 
The microcomputer products industry had grown significantly in the late 1990’s, primarily due to increasing worldwide demand for computer products and the use of distribution channels by manufacturers for the distribution of products. There are two traditional distribution channels in the microcomputer industry: (i) those that sell directly to end-users (“resellers”) and (ii) those that sell to resellers (“distributors”). Distributors generally purchase a wide range of products in bulk directly from manufacturers and then ship products in smaller quantities to many different types of resellers, which typically include dealers, value-added resellers, system integrators, mail order resellers, computer products superstores and mass merchants. European Micro was an independent distributor and generally did not purchase products directly from manufacturers but purchased from other distributors.
 
Most manufacturers have implemented direct sales business models and reduced the number of distributors to which they distribute product. These efforts have been facilitated by the use of the Internet, among other things, and reduced the availability of products in the surplus or after-market. The Company had historically relied upon the surplus or after-market to obtain products for resale. In anticipation of these trends continuing for the foreseeable future, and the liquidity problems faced by the Company, the Board approved a plan of liquidation.
 
Strategy
 
The Company’s objectives are to proceed with an orderly liquidation of all assets. 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. The Company has to date liquidated Nor’Easter and Colchester and European Micro UK.
 
Products and Customers
 
The Company’s sales consisted of computer hardware products, such as personal computers, memory modules, disc drives and networking products, which were sold to value-added resellers, corporate resellers, retailers, direct marketers and distributors. The Company’s customers typically relied on distributors as their principal source of microcomputer products.
 
The Company typically purchased its products from distributors and other suppliers in large quantities. As a focused distributor, the Company focused on a limited and select group of products from a limited and select group of high quality manufacturers. As a result, the Company carried fewer individual products from fewer manufacturers than broadline distributors. The Company financed a significant portion of its total sales by extending trade credit. The Company attempted to minimize the risk of such credit by, among other things, monitoring the credit worthiness of its customers and insuring some of its accounts receivable. European Micro UK had sought to insure substantially all of its accounts receivable. Nor’Easter, Colchester and American Micro generally did not insure their accounts receivable.

The Company’s operations involved a single industry segment, the distribution of microcomputer products. Historically, the Company operated in one geographic area—the United Kingdom—and exported products from the United Kingdom to other European countries and to related parties in the United States. With the addition of Nor’Easter and American Micro in the United States, and the addition of Colchester in Singapore, the Company’s sales to third parties in the United States and Asia increased.
 
The Company’s net sales from operations outside the United States were primarily denominated in currencies other than United States dollar. Accordingly, the Company’s operations outside the United States imposed risks upon its business as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.
 
Sources of Supply
 
The Company obtained its products from distributors and other suppliers throughout the world in an attempt to obtain products at favorable prices while also maintaining continuity of supply. The Company generally made its purchases based on the most favorable combination of prices, quantities and product selection, and therefore its suppliers were constantly changing. The Company did not generally obtain products directly from manufacturers and generally did not enter into any long-term or distribution agreements with its suppliers. In some cases suppliers were also customers.
 
Suppliers delivered products against purchase orders tendered by the Company. The Company often requested specific delivery dates in its purchase orders and lead times for delivery from suppliers are typically short. Delivery was, however, subject to availability. From time to time the Company experienced delivery delays and inventory shortages.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
In order to address the individual customs, practices and business conventions in the countries in which the Company operated, the Company employed a sales staff conversant in Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish and with a general knowledge of the applicable markets. Oversight and strategic direction were provided by senior management of the Company.
 
Sales. The Company marketed its products to distributors and resellers, not end-users. The Company’s customers typically placed orders through a sales representative
 
Marketing. The Company’s marketing department monitored and evaluated national market trends, price movements and changes in product specifications. It was also responsible for developing and implementing the Company’s advertising programs.
 
Competition
 
The Company operated in an industry which is characterized by intense competition based on price, product availability and delivery times. Its competitors included manufacturers and international distributors. Some competitors had greater financial and administrative resources than the Company.
 
Intellectual Property
 
The Company was attempting to build a brand name in the microcomputer industry. To that end, the Company had applied for trademark protection both in the United Kingdom and within the European Community. The following is a summary of the trademarks which the Company has applied for:

ITEM 6. PLANOF OPERATIONS.
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this filing.
 
Certain statements within this Item and throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Share-Based Payment
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123 (R) revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS No. 123 (R) focuses primarily on the accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123 (R) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). SFAS No. 123 (R) is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005 for non-small business issuers and after December 15, 2005 for small business issuers. Accordingly, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) in its quarter ending March 31, 2006. The Company has evaluated the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) and has determined that SFAS No. 123 (R) will not have any impact on its financial statement presentation or disclosures.
 
Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB No. 29”. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, earlier application is permitted. The Company has determined that SFAS No. 153 did not have any impact on its financial statement presentation or disclosures.
 
Accounting for changes in accounting principles
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 that establishes new standards on accounting for changes in accounting principles. Pursuant to the new rules, all such changes must be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements of prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 completely replaces Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion 20 and SFAS 3, though it carries forward the guidance in those pronouncements with respect to accounting for changes in estimates, changes in the reporting entity, and the correction of errors. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

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 20, 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. At June 30, 2005, the Company had $424,000 of cash which is a $359,000 increase from the June 30, 2004 amount of $65,000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cash provided by operating activities. 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.

Currency Risk Management
 
Reporting Currency. European Micro Holding’s, Nor’Easter’s and American Micro’s reporting and functional currency, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, was the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of European Micro UK was the U.K. pound sterling and Colchester was the Singapore dollar. European Micro UK and Colchester translate into the reporting currency by measuring assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and results of operations using the average exchange rates prevailing during the period.
 
Hedging and Currency Management Activities. The Company occasionally hedged to guard against currency fluctuations between the U.K. pound sterling and the U.S. dollar.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company appear beginning at page F-1.
 
ITEM 8. CHANGESIN AND DISAGREEMENTSWITH ACCOUNTANTSON ACCOUNTINGAND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
 
On December 28, 2000, KPMG was dismissed as the independent certified public accountants for the Company. On the same day, BDO Seidman was engaged as the Company’s independent certified public accountants. On January 5, 2001, the Company filed a Form 8-K, which disclosed that the Company dismissed KPMG LLP as its independent certified public accountant effective December 28, 2000.
 
On February 12, 2004, the Company chose to engage the accounting firm of Weinberg and Company, P.A. to serve as independent certified public accountants. On November 11, 2005, the Company filed a Form 8-K, which disclosed that the Company dismissed BDO Seidman as its independent certified public accountant effective February 12, 2004. The dismissal of KPMG and BDO Seidman was not in connection with any dispute over accounting practices or the Company's financial statements or reporting; management believed that it would be more economical and in their best interest to retain a local independent registered public accounting firm.
 
ITEM 8A. Controls And Procedures
 
(A) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, 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 Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer 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.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
 
On February 2, 1999, the Company’s Board formed an Acquisition Committee consisting solely of independent directors to evaluate and determine whether the Company should acquire American Surgical Supply Corp. of Florida d/b/a American Micro Computer Center (“AMCC”) and, if so, on what terms. The members of the committee were Kyle R. Saxon and Barrett Sutton. John B. Gallagher, who is a significant shareholder, Co-Chairman and Co-President of the Company, was the President and a Director of AMCC and owned fifty percent of its outstanding capital stock. Frank Cruz, who was the Chief Operating Officer of the Company, had been an employee of AMCC since 1994. He was an employee of American Micro, the newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company formed to acquire AMCC. The remaining fifty percent of AMCC’s outstanding capital stock was owned by Mr. Gallagher’s father. The committee’s charter authorized it to take any action it deemed necessary to properly evaluate and determine whether the Company should acquire AMCC, including hiring independent advisors and ensuring that any such transaction was fair to the Company and its stockholders from a financial point of view. The committee hired independent legal counsel and an independent financial advisor to render a fairness opinion. On July 1, 1999, the Company acquired AMCC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of
European Micro Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation of European Micro Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of changes in net assets and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the stockholders of the Company approved a plan of liquidation on July 1, 2001, and the Company commenced liquidation shortly thereafter. As a result, the Company has changed its basis of accounting for periods subsequent to June 30, 2001 from the going-concern basis to a liquidation basis.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of European Micro Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applied on the bases described in the preceding paragraph.

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Organization
 
 
(A) Organization

On December 23, 1997, European Micro Holdings, Inc. was incorporated, in the state of Nevada, and 4,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share were issued. The 4,000,000 shares were issued to the shareholders of European Micro Plc in exchange for the entire issued share capital of that company on January 31, 1998. European Micro Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as “European Micro” or “the Company.” The following companies’ results of operations and financial position have been included in the consolidated financial statements as follows:

European Micro operated in a single industry trading computer components. In principle the Company purchased components from international suppliers, including related parties, and sold them in local markets. The main operating company, European Micro Plc, had its principal operations in Altrincham, England with its subsidiaries operating in Germany and Holland. Nor’Easter Micro Inc. had its operations in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Colchester Enterprise Pte. Ltd. had its operations in Singapore. American Micro Computer Center, Inc. had its operations in Miami, Florida.

The parent company held a 50% interest in a joint venture company, Big Blue Europe BV. Big Blue Europe BV commenced operations in January 1997 and had been included in these consolidated financial statements under the equity method of accounting. Big Blue Europe BV operated in the same industry as the Company. Big Blue Europe BV ceased operations in 2001 and the investment was written-off at June 30, 2001.

Due to sales slowdown and liquidity problems resulting from the Company’s primary lender demanding repayment of their loans, the Company decided to cease operations at Nor’Easter. During May and June 2001, the remaining inventory was sold or written off. All fixed assets were sold or written off except for a vehicle which was sold in July 2001. All accounts receivable were collected except for the Arlington receivable (See Note 4). All accounts payable were paid and the bank accounts were closed. Nor’Easter’s parent European Micro Holdings paid off the remaining balance on Nor’Easter’s Line of Credit on June 15, 2001 and paid all remaining liabilities as they came due.

Due to the same liquidity problems, during June 2001, the Company decided to cease operations at Colchester. During July 2001, Colchester terminated all employees and hired a liquidator to finalize the remaining business. On September 4, 2003, Colchester’s liquidation process was finalized.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Organization (continued)

Since the Company was unable to meet the requirements of the notes payable due to the former American Micro Computer Center, Inc. (“AMCC”) shareholders, on September 1, 2001, the Company entered into a Settlement and Stock Purchase Agreement whereby all AMCC shares were transferred back to the former AMCC shareholders in order to satisfy the notes payable.

During August, 2001 the lender on the European Micro Plc’s line of credit demanded repayment. European Micro Plc was able to repay the line of credit with a loan from a majority shareholder. On October 5, 2001, an agreement between European Micro Plc and Square 1 International, Ltd, a company majority owned by a significant shareholder of European Micro Holdings, Inc., provided for the orderly transfer of employees and the purchase of inventory and fixed assets from European Micro Plc to Square 1 International, Ltd. In July 2002, the Company hired a liquidator to finalize the remaining business. On December 7, 2005, European Micro Plc’s liquidation process was finalized.

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned inactive subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 
The Company’s investment in Big Blue Europe BV was accounted for under the equity method, until the investment was completely written off on June 30, 2001.
 
 
(C) Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are expressed in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, under the liquidation basis of accounting since July 1, 2001.

(D) 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.

(E) Revenue and Expense Recognition
 
Revenues were recognized at the time the goods were shipped. Revenues from related parties were recognized when the products were sold by the related parties to third parties. Discount and customer rebates were deducted from sales revenue when earned. Costs of goods sold included material and freight costs. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. For the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company did not have any revenue or related cost of goods sold.
 
(F) Inventories

Inventories were stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost was determined using the weighted average cost method. As of June 30, 2002 all inventories had been sold or liquidated.

(G) Property, Equipment & Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Prior to the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting, property and equipment were recorded at cost. Property and equipment held under capital leases were stated at the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the related leases. Depreciation was calculated using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows: Furniture, fixtures & equipment, 2-7 years and motor vehicles and other, 4 years. Property and equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements to property under operating leases were amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the assets. The cost of additions and betterments were capitalized, and repairs and maintenance costs were charged to operations in the period incurred. When depreciable assets were retired or sold, the cost and related allowances for depreciation were removed from the accounts and the gain or loss was recognized. The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Based upon a comprehensive review of all liquidity circumstances and current market conditions, the Company determined that the value of certain property and equipment was impaired. As a result of this determination, for the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company abandoned, discarded and wrote-off $171,440 in property and equipment. The Company also wrote-down $422,123 in property and equipment to net realizable value.

As a result of recording the write-off in the year ended June 30, 2001, no adjustments were needed to reflect the change to liquidation basis of accounting, as of July 1, 2001. As of June 30, 2002 all property and equipment had been sold or liquidated.

(H) Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense was not recorded during the year ended June 30, 2002 because, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 121, substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets were deemed to be held for sale. No depreciation expense was recorded in fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, because all property and equipment was sold or liquidated in 2002.

(J) Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(K) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, taxes receivable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

During prior years, the Company had entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency fluctuations associated with the settlement of inter-company receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange contracts generally had maturities of less than one year and were accounted for on the fair value method. Gains and losses resulting from these instruments were recognized in the same period as the underlying foreign currency transaction gains and losses and were included in cost of sales. The Company did not use foreign currency exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

(L) Foreign Currency Transaction

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the local currency, were translated into US Dollars at year-end exchange rates. Capital accounts were re-measured into US dollars at the acquisition date rates. Income and expense items were translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The adjustments resulting from translating the financial statements of such foreign subsidiaries were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders equity. Foreign currency transaction and forward exchange contracts gains or losses are reported in results of operations.

(M) Stock Option Plans

The Company accounts for its employee stock option plans in accordance with Accounting Principals Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under APB 25, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” the Company provides pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1998 and subsequent years as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied.

 
No stock options were granted during 2005 or 2004.

(N) Loss Per Common Share
 
Since the adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting on July 1, 2001, loss per share was not computed as such amounts are not deemed to be meaningful.

(O) Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

(P) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

In January 2003, (as revised in December 2003) The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin ("ARB") No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements". Interpretation No. 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, which have one or both of the following characteristics: (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support from other parties, which is provided through other interest that will absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity; (ii) the equity investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest: the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entities activities through voting rights or similar rights; or the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, which makes it possible for the entity to finance its activities; the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur, which is the compensation for the risk of absorbing the expected losses.

Interpretation No. 46, as revised, also requires expanded disclosures by the primary beneficiary (as defined) of a variable interest entity and by an enterprise that holds a significant variable interest in a variable interest entity but is not the primary beneficiary.

Interpretation No. 46, as revised, applies to small business issuers no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2004. This effective date includes those entities to which Interpretation 46 had previously been applied. However, prior to the required application of Interpretation No. 46, a public entity that is a small business issuer shall apply Interpretation 46 or this Interpretation to those entities that are considered to be special-purpose entities no later than as of the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003.

Interpretation No. 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. This interpretation has not been retroactively applied to the June 30, 2004 Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2003, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft for proposed SFAS entitled "Qualifying Special Purpose Entities ("QSPE") and Isolation of transferred Assets", an amendment of SFAS No. 140 ("The Exposure Draft"). The Exposure Draft is a proposal that is subject to change and as such, is not yet authoritative. If the proposal is enacted in its current form, it will amend and clarify SFAS 140. The Exposure Draft would prohibit an entity from being a QSPE if it enters into an agreement that obliged a transferor of financial assets, its affiliates, or its agents to deliver additional cash or other assets to fulfill the special-purposes entity's obligation to beneficial interest holders.

Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. SFAS No. 150 changes the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity that, under previous pronouncements, issuers could account for as equity. The new accounting guidance contained in SFAS No. 150 requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in the balance sheet.

SFAS No. 150 affects the issuer’s accounting for three types of freestanding financial instruments. One type is mandatorily redeemable shares, which the issuing company is obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets. A second type includes put options and forward purchase contracts, which involves instruments that do or may require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other assets. The third type of instruments that are liabilities under this Statement is obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly to a variable such as a market index, or varies inversely with the value of the issuers’ shares. SFAS No. 150 does not apply to features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in its entirety.

Most of the provisions of Statement 150 are consistent with the existing definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, “Elements of Financial Statements”. The remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent with the FASB’s proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own shares. This Statement shall be effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise shall be effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of a non-public entity, as to which the effective date is for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004.

Share-Based Payment

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123 (R) revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. SFAS No. 123 (R) focuses primarily on the accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123 (R) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those awards (with limited exceptions). SFAS No. 123 (R) is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2005 for non-small business issuers and on or after December 15, 2005 for small business issuers. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123 (R) in its quarter ending March 31, 2006. The Company has evaluated the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R) and has determined that SFAS No. 123 (R) will not have any impact on its financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Organization (continued)

Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB No. 29”. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for nonmonetary exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, earlier application is permitted. The Company has determined that SFAS No. 153 did not have any impact on its financial statement presentation or disclosures.
 
Accounting for changes in accounting principles
 
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 that establishes new standards on accounting for changes in accounting principles. Pursuant to the new rules, all such changes must be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements of prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 completely replaces Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion 20 and SFAS 3, though it carries forward the guidance in those pronouncements with respect to accounting for changes in estimates, changes in the reporting entity, and the correction of errors. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 154 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments
 
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

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, (See Note 4), 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, have 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 20, 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 to 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.

3 Taxes

 
Provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign taxes on approximately $3,672,000 at June 30, 2000, of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, as those earnings were intended to be permanently reinvested. The foreign subsidiaries incurred substantial losses in excess of undistributed earnings for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, and as a result there are no longer any undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries that could be repatriated to the US.

4 Foreign Exchange Contracts

During prior years, the Company utilized derivative financial instruments in the form of forward exchange contracts for the purpose of economic hedges of anticipated sale and purchase transactions. In addition the Company entered into economic hedges for the purposes of hedging foreign currency market exposures of underlying assets, liabilities and other obligations, which exist as part of its ongoing business operations.

 
Where the foreign currency exposure was covered by a forward foreign exchange contract the asset, liability or other obligation was recorded at the contracted rate each month end and the resultant mark-to-market gains and losses were recognized as cost of sales in the current period, generally consistent with the period in which the gain or loss of the underlying transaction was recognized. Cash flows associated with derivative transactions were classified in the statement of cash flows in a manner consistent with those of the exposure being hedged.

7 Stockholders’ Equity, Stock Options and Incentive Plans

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 Line of Credit. On December 20, 2000, the Company raised $50,000 by issuing 25,020 shares of common stock under the Equity Line of Credit. The Company and the investor agreed to terminate the Equity Line of Credit 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.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In January 1998, European Micro Holdings, Inc. adopted the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “employee plan”). A total of 50,000 common shares have been reserved for issuance under the plan. The shares issued under the employee plan will be purchased at 85% of market value or such higher percentage (not in excess of 100%) as may be established by the employee plan committee. The employee plan shall remain in effect until terminated by an action of the Board. No shares had been issued as of June 30, 2005.

Stock Incentive Plan

 
In January 1998, European Micro Holdings, Inc. adopted the 1998 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A total of 500,000 common shares have been reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of June 30, 2005 and 2004 there were no outstanding options to purchase common shares. The committee may grant to such participants as the committee may select options entitling the participants to purchase shares of common stock for the Company in such numbers, at such prices and on such terms and subject to such conditions, consistent with the terms of the Plan, as may be established by the committee. The Plan shall remain in effect until terminated by an action of the Board.
