In the opinion of Management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2001, filed on Form 10-KSB (SEC File Number 33-70334-A). CURRENT SUBSIDIARIES: As used in this Form 10-QSB, the term "Company" refers, unless the context requires otherwise, to International Assets Holding Corporation and its four wholly owned subsidiaries; INTLTRADER.COM, INC. ("ITCI"), International Asset Management Corp. ("IAMC"), International Financial Products, Inc. ("IFP") and OffshoreTrader.com Ltd. ("OTCL"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. FORMER SUBSIDIARIES AND JOINT VENTURE SOLD IN DECEMBER 2001: On November 1, 2001 International Assets Advisory Corporation entered into a merger with IAAC, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of International Assets Holding Corporation. IAAC, LLC was a Florida limited liability company formed by International Assets Holding Corporation in July 2001 for the purpose of the anticipated merger that occurred on November 1, 2001. IAAC, LLC was the surviving entity of the merger. Upon effectiveness of the merger, the name of the surviving entity became International Assets Advisory, LLC. The Company sold all of its membership interests in International Assets Advisory, LLC on December 13, 2001. On November 1, 2001 Global Assets Advisors, Inc. entered into a merger with Global Assets Advisors, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of International Assets Holding Corporation. Global Assets Advisors, LLC was a Florida limited liability company formed by International Assets Holding Corporation in July 2001 for the purpose of the anticipated merger that occurred on November 1, 2001. Global Assets Advisors, LLC was the surviving entity of the merger. The Company sold all of its membership interests in Global Assets Advisors, LLC on December 13, 2001. 9 INTERNATIONAL ASSETS HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED On December 13, 2001 the Company sold its 50% interest in International Assets New York, LLC, a 50/50 Joint Venture with Lakeside Investments, LLC of New York. (2) SALE OF CERTAIN OPERATIONS -------------------------- On December 13, 2001 the Company sold its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, International Assets Advisory, LLC and Global Assets Advisors, LLC, and its 50% membership interest in International Assets New York, LLC (IANY) to Lakeside Assets, LLC. In connection with the disposition transaction, Lakeside Assets, LLC also purchased 80,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company received total proceeds of $907,240 for these sale transactions. The Company allocated $827,240 of the proceeds to the sale of the two wholly owned subsidiaries and the 50% interest in IANY. The Company allocated $80,000 of the proceeds to the sale of common shares. The Company had a book basis of $414,231 related to the sale of the two wholly owned subsidiaries and IANY. The $413,009 gain on sale of retail activity recorded in December 2001 was determined by deducting the book basis of $414,231 from the sales proceeds of $827,240. Commission revenues from retail private client securities brokerage activity amounted to $404,500 and $1,768,195 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively and $3,288 and $858,913 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Though certain costs associated with this activity are distinct and clearly identifiable; many are not and management has not historically operated, monitored or specifically allocated expenses to this activity in such a manner as to determine profitability by activity. In the same sale transaction, International Assets Holding Corporation agreed to sell its money management activity, which had revenues from management and investment advisory fees of $6,292 and $75,903 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively and $35,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The money management activity was primarily related and tied into the retail private client activity including the same sales staffing, operations and research support. It was separated for purposes of securities licensing and regulation. (3) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS -------------------------- On February 1, 2002 the Company executed a contract for investor relations services from an outside firm that is owned and managed by a cousin of the CEO of the Company. The contract is for a term of six months at a cost of $5,000 per month plus reimbursement for reasonable expenses related to the performance of the service contract. (4) RECLASSIFICATIONS ----------------- Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These changes had no impact on previously reported results of operations or stockholders' equity. 10 INTERNATIONAL ASSETS HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED (5) BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE -------------------------------- Basic loss per share for the six months and three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 have been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share for the six months and three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 are the same as basic loss per share because of the anti-dilutive impact of the potential common shares, due to the net loss for each of the periods. No options to purchase shares of common stock were considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the six months and three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 because of the anti-dilutive impact of the potential common shares, due to the net loss for the periods.

The Company is obligated under various noncancelable operating leases for the rental of its office facilities and certain office equipment.

There were 1,199 incentive stock options exercised at a strike price of $1.486 per share during the six months ended March 31, 2002. In addition, 270,752 incentive stock options were forfeited due to the termination of former employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. The total options forfeited included approximately 186,000 options related to former employees that were part of the sale of the retail brokerage operation. As of March 31, 2002 the Company had 554,158 options outstanding.

(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES -------------------------------------- The Company is party to certain litigation as of March 31, 2002, which relates primarily to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company cannot absolutely predict the outcome of these actions at this time, it is the opinion of management, given the probability of success by the Company, that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Certain statements in this discussion may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks including, but not limited to, changes in general economic and business conditions, interest rate and securities market fluctuations, competition from within and from outside the investment brokerage industry, new products and services in the investment brokerage industry, changing trends in customer profiles and changes in laws and regulation applicable to the Company. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurances that the actual results, performance or achievement of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. 14 Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company's principal operating activities, market-making and trading in international securities are highly competitive and extremely volatile. The earnings of the Company are subject to wide fluctuations since many factors over which the Company has little or no control, particularly the overall volume of trading and the volatility and general level of market prices, may significantly affect its operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: On December 13, 2001 the Company sold its full service private client retail brokerage and money management activities. Accordingly, these activities are no longer a source of revenues or expense for the Company after December 13, 2001. While the revenues (commissions and management and investment advisory fees) and certain costs associated with the business activities which have been sold are readily identifiable, many costs associated with these activities are not. The costs that are not identifiable were included in prior legal entity financial statements combined with other business activities that were operated together for previous strategic, regulatory and synergistic purposes. The Company has reported a gain on the sale of retail activity of $413,009 included in the six months ended March 31, 2002. The gain is based on sale proceeds of $827,240 less the book cost basis of $414,231, for the transaction costs and for the book value of the assets that were included in the sale of this business activity. As of March 31, 2002 the Company had 17 full time employees. SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 The Company's revenues were derived primarily from trading revenue (net dealer inventory and investment gains) as well as commissions earned on the sale of securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2002, 79% of the Company's revenues were derived from trading revenue and 18% of revenues were derived from commissions. For the six months ended March 31, 2001, 19% of the Company's revenues were derived from trading revenue and 74% of revenues were derived from commissions. Total revenues decreased 4% to $2,297,646 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $2,404,209 for the same period in 2001. Trading revenue (net dealer inventory and investment gains) increased by approximately 291% to $1,823,388 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $466,904 in 2001. This increase in trading revenue was due in large measure to our trading department's ongoing efforts to provide reliable market making for our trading clients with high quality customer service and trade execution in the international securities trading market. The Company has been successful in developing new clients as well as in retention of existing trading clients. 15 Trading revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2001 were reduced from prior levels due to the complete shutdown and loss of trading revenue for the period December 19, 2000 until December 27, 2000. The increase in trading revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2002 comes after the Company had to rehire and rebuild the entire trading department since the disruption of the Company's trading operations caused by the abrupt departure of the Company's head of capital markets and his related recruitment of the entire trading department to his own firm in December 2000. This matter was previously discussed in the Company's 10-QSB for the period ended December 31, 2000 as well as its Form 8-K filed as of December 29, 2000. Commission revenues decreased by approximately 77% to $404,500 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 from $1,768,195 in 2001. Commission revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2002 include retail brokerage commissions earned for the period October 1, 2001 through December 13, 2001. On December 13, 2001 the Company sold its membership interests in International Assets Advisory, LLC. These retail brokerage commission revenues are no longer a source of revenue for the Company after December 13, 2001 due to the sale of this retail brokerage activity. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002 the Company sold substantially all of it retail online accounts to Ameritrade Holding Corporation and ceased offering its online retail brokerage operation. The elimination of these retail activities has allowed the Company to focus all of its resources on its core market making trading operation. Revenues from management and investment advisory fees decreased by approximately 92% to $6,292 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $75,903 in 2001. These revenues from management and investment advisory fees are no longer a source of revenue for the Company after December 13, 2001 due to the sale of this business. Interest and dividend revenue decreased by 62% to $44,192 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $114,846 in 2001. This decrease is primarily due to lower balances of interest producing assets, including money market balances and fixed income securities as well as decreased interest returns on these short-term liquid assets during the six months ended March 31, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. Loss from joint venture was $0 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $20,353 for 2001. The loss from joint venture ended in March 2001 when the Company wrote off its investment in joint venture in accordance with the equity method of accounting. The loss from the Company's joint venture represented the Company's 50% share of the operating loss from the activity of International Assets New York, LLC, a 50/50 joint venture with Lakeside Investments, LLC of New York. On December 13, 2001 the Company's interest in International Assets New York, LLC was sold. 16 Other revenues were $19,274 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 up from $(1,286) for the same period in 2001. Other revenues in 2002 includes $14,800 collected for the sale proceeds from the retail online accounts sold to Ameritrade. The major expenses incurred by the Company relate to direct costs of its securities operations such as compensation and benefits, clearing and related expense, occupancy and equipment rental expense and professional fees. Total expenses decreased by approximately 36% to $3,031,447 for the six months ended March 31, 2002, from $4,723,745 for the same period in 2001. This decrease in total expenses is mainly due to reductions in compensation and benefits, promotions, communications, technology and other operating expenses. The decrease in total expenses reflects the restructuring associated with the sale of the retail brokerage activity and the related cost reductions the Company began to implement in August 2001. Compensation and benefits expense decreased by $1,331,105 or 54% to $1,128,528 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $2,459,633 in 2001 due to lower commission expense caused by lower commission revenues and a decrease in base salaries due to an overall reduction in the number of employees. Included in the total $1,128,528 compensation and benefits expense for 2002 is $165,854 related to commission expense that will no longer be an ongoing expense for the Company after December 13, 2001, due to the sale of the related retail private client activity. Clearing and related expenses increased 61% to $881,021 in the six months ended March 31, 2002, up from $546,221 in 2001. This increase is related to the volume increase in the number of trades processed and increased costs for American Depository Receipt (ADR) conversions due to the necessity of these conversions as a trading strategy to facilitate liquidity within the Company's overall investment portfolio. Also, included in the total $881,021 clearing and related expenses for 2002 is $35,388 related to retail private client activities that will no longer be an ongoing expense for the Company after December 13, 2001, due to the sale of the related activity. Total promotion expense decreased by approximately 80% to $93,742 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $478,823 for 2001. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in retail promotional activity, public relations, and travel and entertainment due to cost saving initiatives undertaken. Future promotion expense will be determined by incremental promotions that are undertaken to support the Company's current and ongoing operations. Occupancy and equipment rental expense decreased by 10% to $233,657 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $258,926 in 2001. Decreases in rental expense were related to the Company's decreased leased office space. As of February 1, 2002 the Company relocated to a new, smaller and less costly leased office space. Offsetting a portion of this savings are two new equipment leases for phone systems and network connectivity. The net savings from this office relocation are currently anticipated to be over $150,000 on an annualized basis. 17 Communications expense decreased by $80,503, or 57% to $59,897 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $140,400 for the six months ended March 31, 2001. This decrease is due to reduced telephone, postage and printing expense related to the corresponding decreases in operating revenue. Management currently anticipates that there will be additional decreases in communications expense after December 2001 due to the sale of the retail private client activity on December 13, 2001. Professional fees increased by approximately 30% to $168,758 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $129,667 in 2001. This increase is primarily due to legal fees related to the arbitration and injunction matters further discussed in Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB. Insurance expense decreased by approximately 30% to $69,803 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $100,365 in 2001. This decrease is primarily due to decreases in health, life, disability and workers compensation insurances due to reductions in total employment headcount and the related and reduced payroll expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately 16% to $197,473 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $234,635 in 2001. The decrease in 2002 is due to lower depreciation expense associated with the disposition of fixed assets related to the sale of the retail private client activity in December 2001. Technology expense was down approximately 68% to $38,539 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $118,930 in 2001. The decrease is due to the completion of technology enhancements to increase the quote system and trading platform's capacity as well as reduced technology expenditures for web site content due to the elimination of the retail online brokerage activity in January 2002. Other operating expenses decreased approximately 38% to $158,662 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $254,405 in 2001. This decrease is due to cutbacks and reductions in director's fees and expense, office supplies and expense, training expense and annual report expense. The Company has reported a loss before gain on sale of retail activity and income taxes of $733,801 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 compared to a loss of $2,319,536 for 2001. The gain on the sale of retail activity is $413,009 for the six months ended March 31, 2002. The gain is based on sales proceeds of $827,240 less the book cost basis of $414,231, for the transaction costs and the book value of the assets that were included in the sale of this business activity. The Company has reported a net loss of $320,792 for the six months ended March 31, 2002 compared to a net loss of $1,482,365 for the six months ended March 31, 2001. 18 The Company did not record an income tax benefit for the six months ended March 31, 2002 due to a valuation allowance applied to the deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss generated during the six months. The Company's effective income tax benefit rate was approximately 36% for the six months ended March 31, 2001. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002, AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 For the three months ended March 31, 2002, 96% of the Company's revenues were derived from trading revenue.

Total revenues decreased 15% to $839,635 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $983,937 for the same period in 2001.

On December 13, 2001 the Company sold its membership interests in International Assets Advisory, LLC. The retail brokerage commission revenues previously generated by International Assets Advisory, LLC are no longer a source of revenue for the Company after December 13, 2001, due to the sale of this retail brokerage activity. Commission revenues of $3,288 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 include retail online commissions earned during the three months ended March 31, 2002. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002 the Company sold substantially all of it retail online accounts to Ameritrade Holding Corporation and ceased offering its online retail brokerage operation.

The 14% income tax benefit rate for the three months ended March 31, 2002 differed from the expected U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% due to a valuation allowance applied to the deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss generated during the quarter. Also, income tax expense generated during the quarter ended December 31, 2001 was reversed during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 due to the current quarter's loss exceeding the prior period's profitability. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Substantial portions of the Company's assets are liquid with the majority of the assets consisting of securities inventories which fluctuate depending on the levels of customer business. At March 31, 2002, approximately 86% of the Company's assets consisted of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. All assets are financed by the Company's equity capital, short-term borrowings from securities sold, not yet purchased and other payables. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002 the Company recorded an income tax receivable totaling $856,723 due to a recent change in the tax law regarding net operating loss carrybacks. The carryback claim was filed on April 9, 2002 and was collected in May 2002. The collection of this income tax carryback improves the Company's liquidity position by increasing the proportion of the Company's total assets that are liquid. Distributions to the Company from INTLTRADER.COM, INC., the Company's primary source of liquidity, are restricted as to amounts which may be paid by applicable law and regulations. The Net Capital Rules are the primary regulatory restrictions regarding capital resources. The Company's rights to participate in the assets of any subsidiary are also subject to prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors, including customers of INTLTRADER.COM, INC. INTLTRADER.COM, INC., a wholly owned registered securities broker-dealer subsidiary, is subject to the requirements of the SEC and the NASD relating to liquidity and net capital levels. At March 31, 2002, INTLTRADER.COM INC. had adjusted net capital of $1,428,033, which was $1,090,033 in excess of its minimum net capital requirement at that date. The Company's total assets and liabilities and the individual components thereof may vary significantly from period to period because of changes relating to customer needs and economic and market conditions. The Company's total assets at March 31, 22 2002 and September 30, 2001, were $16,770,034 and $10,733,698, respectively. The Company's operating activities generate or utilize cash resulting from net income or loss earned during the period and fluctuations in its assets and liabilities. The most significant fluctuations have resulted from changes in the level of customer activity and securities inventory changes resulting from proprietary arbitrage trading strategies dictated by prevailing market conditions. In addition to normal operating requirements, capital is required to satisfy financing and regulatory requirements. The Company's overall capital needs are continually reviewed to ensure that its capital base can appropriately support the anticipated capital needs of the operating subsidiaries. The excess regulatory net capital of the Company's broker-dealer subsidiary may fluctuate throughout the year reflecting changes in inventory levels and/or composition and balance sheet components. In the opinion of management, the Company's existing capital and cash flow from operations will be adequate to meet the Company's capital needs for at least the next twelve months in light of known and reasonably estimated trends. At this time additional private financing is being sought for trading capital, technology, staffing and promotional efforts based upon the Company's strategic plan. This plan has an operational emphasis on technology driven international securities order flow. In conjunction with the Company's strategic plan, the Company has engaged UBS Warburg as its financial advisor to arrange and negotiate a private placement of securities issued by the Company or to find a strategic partner. UBS Warburg has been engaged to use its best efforts in connection with a private placement and does not have any obligation to purchase any securities issued by the Company or to provide financing of any kind to the Company. CASH FLOWS For the six months ended March 31, 2002, cash and cash equivalents increased by $1,564,136 since the end of the last fiscal year ending September 30, 2001. Funds provided by operating activities were $1,066,232 for the period ending March 31, 2002. During the six months ended March 31, 2002, the Company had cash provided by investing activities of $416,122. Net cash provided by financing activities were $81,782, which was comprised of $80,000 provided by the sale of common stock with the sale of the retail brokerage activity and $1,782 from the exercise of one employee stock option. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is party to certain litigation as of March 31, 2002, which relates primarily to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company cannot absolutely predict the outcome of these actions at this time, it is the opinion of management, given the probability of success by the Company, that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company. 23 On January 4, 2001 the Company filed an arbitration matter with the NASD regarding several breaches (including but not limited to raiding, unfair competition and misappropriation of trade secrets) related to the sudden departure, on December 19, 2000, of the head of the foreign trading desk and his related recruitment of the entire Company's trading staff. This arbitration claim was filed against the broker/dealer who became the employer of the recruited employees, two principals of the broker/dealer, two affiliated securities firms of the broker/dealer and four principals of the parent firm. On March 14, 2001 the broker/dealer who became the employer and two of its principals responded and filed a counterclaim against the Company. On March 19, 2001 the two affiliated securities firms of the broker/dealer also filed a counterclaim as well as a claim for attorney's fees. The Company disputes the counterclaims and intends to vigorously defend them. The NASD arbitration for this matter which was originally scheduled for the week beginning April 29, 2002, has been continued (delayed) until November 2002. On April 1, 2002, the Company filed suit and a motion for temporary injunction, which was granted, in Circuit Court in Orange County, Florida. The suit and motion were filed against a New York Stock Exchange listed company for breach of a confidentiality agreement and misappropriation of trade secrets. The Company was required to post a $50,000 cash bond with the court to support the temporary injunction. On April 9, 2002, the Court denied a motion to dissolve the temporary injunction. On April 12, 2002 the defendant filed an appeal of the denial of the motion. That appeal has not yet been heard. On April 29, 2002 the defendant filed motions with the Circuit Court in Orange County, Florida to 1) dismiss the claims and 2) to compel an NASD arbitration. Also on April 29, 2002 the defendant filed an NASD arbitration counterclaim seeking damages in excess of $450,000. The Company plans to defend its position against the appeal of the injunction and defend its position that a circuit court hearing rather than an NASD arbitration is the appropriate jurisdiction to decide this matter.
