                                (Amendment No. 1)


Item 1. Security and Issuer.

      This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the statements on Schedule 13D
(the "Schedule 13D") relating to the common stock, par value $.02 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of National Holdings Corporation (formerly Olympic Cascade
Financial Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or the "Issuer")
and is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of the
following persons: (i) St. Cloud Capital Partners, L.P.; (ii) SCGP, LLC; (iii)
St. Cloud Capital, LLC; and (iv) Marshall S. Geller. Except as disclosed herein,
there has been no change in the information previously reported in the Schedule
13D. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item No. 3 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and amended by inserting the
following at the end thereof:

Between January 26, 2006 and June 9, 2006, Marshall Geller made three open
market purchases of Common Stock resulting in an aggregate purchase of 43,050
shares. Of the 43,050 shares purchased, 6,300 shares were purchased for Mr.
Geller's individual retirement account and the remainder in his individual
capacity. These shares were purchased with personal funds.

On March 15, 2006, the Issuer granted to Mr. Geller a stock option to purchase
10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.35 per share. These
options fully vested on September 16, 2006.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Mr. Geller acquired the shares referenced in Item 3 above solely for the purpose
of investment. Mr. Geller acquired these shares for his own account with no
intention of violating federal or applicable state securities laws.

Mr. Geller was granted the option referenced in Item 3 above through the
Issuer's 1999 stock option plan.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding thereto the following:

(a) According to the Company, there were 5,223,968 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of August 11, 2006. St. Cloud Capital Partners, L.P. is the
beneficial owner of 2,238,333 shares of Common Stock (including 1,133,333 shares
of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company's Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock, 850,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
St. Cloud Note and 255,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
St. Cloud Warrant), which represents 29.99% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock.


Marshall Geller is the direct owner of 53,050 shares of Common Stock. Such
amount includes 10,000 shares issuable upon exercise of a fully-vested stock
option and 6,300 shares held in Mr. Geller's IRA. Also, because Mr. Geller is a
co-founder and senior manager of SCGP, the general partner of St. Cloud
Partners, Mr. Geller may be deemed to own beneficially the 2,238,333 shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company securities held by St.
Cloud Capital Partners, L.P.

(b) St. Cloud Capital Partners, L.P. has the power to direct the vote of
2,238,333 shares of Common Stock and the power to direct the disposition of
2,238,333 shares of Common Stock. In Mr. Geller's capacity as a co-founder and
senior manager of SCGP, Mr. Geller may be deemed to beneficially own the
2,238,333 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by St. Cloud Partners and/or
SCGP. Mr. Geller also is the direct beneficial owner of 46,750 shares of Common
Stock held in his individual capacity and 6,300 shares of Common Stock held in
his IRA.

(c) Except as set forth in this Statement, there have been no sales or purchases
with respect to the Issuer's Shares effected during the past sixty days by any
of the Reporting Persons listed in (a) above.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
        Securities of the Issuer.

The terms of the Issuer's stock option plan as described in Item 7 are hereby
incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

      1     "Exhibit A" of this Schedule 13D/A is the Issuer's 1999 Stock Option
            Plan and is hereby incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.3 of the
            Issuer's Form S-8 filed in February 1999 as though fully set forth
            herein.


                                    SIGNATURE

      After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
