Item 3. Bankruptcy or Receivership

On October 18, 2002, The Morgan Group, Inc. (the "Company") and two of its operating subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Cases") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Indiana, South Bend Division. The Debtors intend to conduct an orderly liquidation of their assets.

The Cases have been assigned to Judge Harry C. Dees and designated as case numbers 02-36046 (the Company), 02-36049 (Morgan Drive Away, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company) and 02-36050 (TDI, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company). The Cases have been consolidated and will be administered jointly pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered October 23, 2002. Each of the Debtors continues to manage its property as a Debtor-in-Possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company ceased operations on October 3, 2002, when its liability insurance expired and it was unable to secure replacement insurance.
