Quasi-simultaneous EXOSAT, low resolution spectrophotometric optical, and IUE observations of the AM Her object E2003+225 made in October 1983, and simultaneous high resolution optical and phase-resolved IUE observations made in July 1984 are presented. The soft X-ray light curve shows two maxima per orbital period and two eclipses. The EXOSAT 500 1/mm grating observation limits the blackbody temperature to 18 to 29 eV. The blackbody luminosity exceeds the bremsstrahlung luminosity by a least a factor of 2.3, in contradiction to standard accretion models. In July 1984 systemic velocity = -30 Km/sec for all line components (previous observations) show 300 to 500 Km/sec). Optical minimum and soft X-ray eclipse occur at dia = 0.3, previous observations showed optical minimum at 0.4.
