              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                            March 31, 1997, and 1996

(1)     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with the  instructions and requirements of Form
     10-QSB  and,  therefore,  do not  include  all  information  and  footnotes
     necessary  for a  fair  presentation  of  financial  position,  results  of
     operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
     principles. In the opinion of Management, such financial statements reflect
     all  adjustments   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.  It is
     suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
     conjunction with the Company's audited  consolidated  financial  statements
     for the year  ending  September  30,  1996,  filed on Form 10-KSB (SEC File
     Number 33-70334-A).

     As used in this Form 10-QSB, the term "Company" refers,  unless the context
     requires  otherwise,  to International  Assets Holding  Corporation and its
     five  wholly  owned  subsidiaries;   International  Assets  Advisory  Corp.
     ("IAAC"),  Global Assets Advisors,  Inc. ("GAA"),  International  Financial
     Products, Inc.("IFP"), GlobalNet Securities, Inc.("GNSI") and International
     Asset Management Corp.  ("IAMC").  All significant  intercompany   balances
     and transactions   have  been eliminated in consolidation.


(2)     SECURITIES OWNED AND SECURITIES SOLD, BUT NOT YET PURCHASED
     Securities  owned and  Securities  sold, but not yet purchased at March 31,
     1997, consist of trading and investment  securities at quoted market values
     as follows:

(3)    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
     Primary  and  fully  diluted   earnings  per  common  and  dilutive  common
     equivalent  share for the three  months and the six months  ended March 31,
     1997 and 1996,  have been  computed by dividing  adjusted net income by the
     weighted  average number of common and dilutive  common  equivalent  shares
     outstanding.  Common  equivalent  shares  represent  shares of common stock
     issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants. 

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Statement
     128 supersedes APB Opinion No. 15,  "Earnings per Share," and specifies the
     computation,  presentation,  and disclosure  requirements  for earnings per
     share  ("EPS") for entities  with  publicly  held common stock or potential
     common stock.  Statement 128 was issued to simplify the computation of EPS.
     It requires dual  presentation  of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
     statements of operations for all entities with complex  capital  structures
     and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic
     EPS  computation  to the  numerator  and  denominator  of the  diluted  EPS
     computation.
 
     Statement 128 is effective for  financial  statements  for both interim and
     annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Earlier  application is not
     permitted.  After  adoption,  all prior period EPS data presented  shall be
     restated to conform to Statement 128. Under  Statement 128, basic EPS would
     be $.087  and $.174 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 and 1996,
     respectively,  and $.196 and $.302 for the six months  ended March 31, 1997
     and 1996, respectively.  Diluted EPS would be $.084 and $.170 for the three
     months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $.188 and $.297 for
     the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(4)    LEASES
     The Company  occupies  leased office space of  approximately  13,815 square
     feet at 250 Park Avenue South,  Winter Park, Florida. In December 1996, the
     Company  executed an  amendment  to enhance  this leased  office  space and
     extend the lease expiration from November 1999 to May 2001.


     The Company is obligated under various  noncancelable  operating leases for
     the rental of its office  facilities  and certain  office  equipment.  Rent
     expense  associated with operating leases amounted to $154,593 and $144,111
     for the six  months  ended  March 31,  1997,  and 1996,  respectively.  The
     minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases as of March 31,
     1997 are as follows:

(5)    STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
     On October 4, 1996,  the Company  announced that the Board of Directors has
     authorized  the Company to continue  its  repurchase  of common stock up to
     $500,000 in the open market  during the  remainder  of the fiscal year that
     ends  September  30,  1997.  On  March  13,  1996 the  Board  of  Directors
     originally authorized the Company to repurchase up to $500,000 in shares of
     common  stock in the open market  during the  remainder  of the fiscal year
     ended  September  30, 1996.  The stock  purchases  will be made in the open
     market  from time to time as  market  conditions  permit.  The  Company  is
     required to comply with Rule 10b-18 and  Regulation M of the Securities and
     Exchange  Commission  which regulate the specific terms in which shares may
     be  repurchased.  As of May 12 1997, the Company has repurchased a total
     of 19,300 shares under this repurchase program at a total cost of $73,789.

    ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

     The Company's  assets  decreased from  $7,528,292 at September 30, 1996, to
     $7,032,046  at March 31,  1997,  or a decrease of $496,246.  The  Company's
     liabilities  decreased from $2,285,911 at September 30, 1996, to $1,538,212
     at March 31,  1997,  or a decrease  of  $747,699.  The  increase in the net
     assets (assets less  liabilities) of $251,453  primarily relates to the net
     income earned for the six month fiscal period.

     The  Company's  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet at March 31,  1997,
     reflects a payable to clearing broker, for trades which had not yet settled
     for cash,  due to the costs from the purchase of  securities  exceeding the
     proceeds of securities sold.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     The Company's principal activities, securities brokerage and the trading of
     and  market-making  in  securities,  are highly  competitive  and extremely
     volatile.
                                       11

<PAGE>

     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.

     SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997, AS COMPARED TO
     THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

     The Company's revenues are derived primarily from commissions earned on the
     sale of securities and trading  income in securities  purchased or sold for
     the Company's account. Total revenues decreased by approximately  $360,000,
     or 6% for the six months  ended  March 31,  1997,  as  compared  to the six
     months ended March 31, 1996.  For the six months ended March 31, 1997,  and
     1996,  approximately 74% and 75%,  respectively,  of the Company's revenues
     were derived from commissions earned on the sale of securities. For the six
     months ended March 31, 1997, and 1996,  approximately  21% of the Company's
     total revenues were from net dealer inventory and investment gains (trading
     revenue).

     Commission revenue decreased by approximately  $330,000,  or 7% for the six
     months ended March 31, 1997,  as compared to the six months ended March 31,
     1996. A large portion of the decrease was caused by a decrease in the sales
     of initial  offerings of firm proprietary unit investment trusts during the
     six months ended March 31, 1997,  as compared to the six months ended March
     31, 1996. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the overall volume of
     customer  ticket  orders  increased by 3% and the average  dollar amount of
     retail trades  decreased 10%, as compared to the six months ended March 31,
     1996.  This 3%  increase  in ticket  volume is  primarily  attributable  to
     promotional  activities  that included the execution of free trades for new
     clients. In addition, the overall decrease in commission revenue is despite
     the  average  number of account  executives  as of March 31,  1997 and 1996
     maintaining at 41 for both six month periods.

     Revenues  from net dealer  inventory  and  investment  gains  decreased  by
     approximately  $50,000,  or 4% for the six months ended March 31, 1997,  as
     compared to the six months  ended March 31,  1996.  The decrease in trading
     revenue is primarily  attributable to decreases in the Company's retail and
     wholesale  trading  activities  due to  decreases  in the volume of trading
     activity and  corresponding  decreases in retail  commission  revenue.  The
     Company's trading  department  primarily  concentrates on global securities
     that it  believes  are  likely to be traded by the  Company's  clients.  By
     focusing on these types of  securities,  trading  revenue is more  directly
     related to commission revenue and order flow.

     Other  revenues  increased  by  approximately  $20,000 or 7% during the six
     months ended March 31, 1997,  as compared to the six months ended March 31,
     1996.  The increase in other revenue is primarily due to increases in money
     management  fees,   account   maintenance  fees,  list  rental  income  and
     subscription fee income.
                                       12
<PAGE>

     The major  expenses  incurred  by the  Company  relate  to direct  costs of
     securities  operations  such as  commissions  and clearing  fees,  employee
     compensation and benefits and communications and promotions expense.  Total
     expenses  decreased  by  approximately  $104,000,  or 2% for the six months
     ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. This decrease
     in expense is  primarily  attributable  to  decreases  in  commissions  and
     clearing fees,  employee  compensation and benefits and  communications and
     promotions.

     Commissions  and clearing  fees  decreased  approximately  $114,000,  or 5%
     during the six months ended March 31, 1997,  as compared to the same period
     in 1996. This decrease is directly related to the 7% decrease in commission
     revenue  and the 4%  decrease  in  trading  revenue  for the  same  period.
     Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased approximately $16,000,
     or 1% during the six months  ended March 31,  1997,  as compared to the six
     months ended March 31,  1996.  The  decrease in employee  compensation  and
     benefits is primarily due to decreases in performance  based bonus accruals
     based on the decrease in income before income taxes partially offset by the
     expense of additional  employees hired by the Company during the six months
     ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 1996.

     Overall  communication and promotions  expenses  decreased by approximately
     $123,000, or 14% during the six months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to
     the six months ended March 31, 1996.  This decrease is primarily due to the
     elimination of funding from the Company to IFP for promotional  activities.
     As of October 1996, Company funding for all IFP promotional  activities was
     ceased due to the unsuccessful efforts of IFP in generating revenues.

     Other operating expenses increased  approximately  $148,000,  or 24% during
     the six months  ended March 31,  1997,  as compared to the six months ended
     March 31,  1996.  This  increase is  attributable  to increases in expenses
     incurred for rental of leased  premises,  insurance  expense,  professional
     fees, contributions and amortization and depreciation expense.

     As a  result  of  the  above,  income  before  income  taxes  decreased  by
     approximately  $255,000 or 34% during the six months  ended March 31, 1997,
     as compared to the six months ended March 31, 1996. The Company's effective
     income  tax rate was  approximately  42% and 41% for the six  months  ended
     March 31, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

    THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997, AS COMPARED TO
    THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

     Total revenues  decreased by approximately  $388,000,  or 12% for the three
     months  ended March 31,  1997,  as compared to the three months ended March
     31,  1996.   For  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997,   and  1996,
     approximately  72% and 78%,  

                                       13
<PAGE>

     respectively,  of the  Company's  revenues  were derived  from  commissions
     earned on the sale of  securities.  For the three  months  ended  March 31,
     1997, and 1996,  approximately 22% and 18%, respectively,  of the Company's
     total revenues were derived from net dealer  inventory and investment gains
     (trading revenue).

     Commission  revenue  decreased by  approximately  $470,000,  or 18% for the
     three months  ended March 31,  1997,  as compared to the three months ended
     March 31, 1996. The decrease in revenues is  attributable  to a 6% decrease
     in ticket volume and a 13% decrease in the average  dollar amount of trades
     during the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997,  as compared to the three
     months ended March 31, 1996. This decrease in commission revenue is despite
     an  increase  in the average  number of account  executives  from 39, as of
     March 31, 1996, to 41, as of March 31, 1997, or an increase of 5%.

     Revenues  from net dealer  inventory  and  investment  gains  increased  by
     approximately  $49,000, or 8% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as
     compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase in trading
     revenue is  primarily  attributable  to increases  in the  Company's  fixed
     income trading due to the hiring of a new fixed income trader and increases
     in retail trading activities.

     Other revenues  increased  approximately  26% during the three months ended
     March 31, 1997, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This
     increase is primarily  attributable to increases in money  management fees,
     account maintenance fees, list rental and subscription revenues.

     The major expenses incurred by the Company relate to employee  compensation
     and benefits, direct costs of securities operations such as commissions and
     clearing fees, and communications and promotions expense.

     Total expenses  decreased by  approximately  $184,000,  or 6% for the three
     months ended March 31, 1997,  as compared to the same period in 1996.  This
     decrease in expense is primarily  attributable  to decreases in commissions
     and clearing fees,  employee  compensation and benefits and  communications
     and promotions.

     Commissions  and clearing fees  decreased  approximately  $189,000,  or 13%
     during the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997,  as  compared to the same
     period in 1996.  This  decrease is directly  related to the 18% decrease in
     commission for the same period.  Employee compensation and benefits expense
     decreased 6% during the three  months ended March 31, 1997,  as compared to
     the  three  months   ended  March  31,  1996.   The  decrease  in  employee
     compensation  and  benefits is primarily  due to  decreases in  performance
     based bonus accruals based on the decrease in income before income taxes by
     the Company  during the three months  ended March 31, 1997,  as compared to
     the three months ended March 31, 1996.
                                       14
<PAGE>

     Overall  communication and promotions expense decreased 7% primarily due to
     decreased  promotional  activities  during the three months ended March 31,
     1997, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. Other operating
     expenses  increased  approximately  25% during the three months ended March
     31,  1997,  as compared to the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996.  This
     increase is  attributable  to increases in expenses  incurred for rental of
     leased premises,  insurance expense,  professional fees,  contributions and
     amortization and depreciation expense.

     As a  result  of  the  above,  income  before  income  taxes  decreased  by
     approximately  $204,000  during the three months  ended March 31, 1997,  as
     compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. The Company's  effective
     income tax rate was  approximately  43% and 40% for the three  months ended
     March 31, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Substantial portions of the Company's assets are liquid. At March 31, 1997,
     approximately   88%  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  lending
     transactions and other payables.

     The Company's wholly owned registered securities  broker/dealer  subsidiary
     IAAC is subject to the  requirements  of the SEC and the NASD  relating  to
     liquidity and net capital  levels.  At March 31, 1997, IAAC had net capital
     of approximately  $2,618,000,  which was approximately $2,507,000 in excess
     of its minimum net capital requirement at that date.

     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 12 months in light of known and reasonably estimated trends.
     In addition,  management  believes  that the Company will be able to obtain
     additional  short or  medium-term  financing  that may be  desirable in the
     ordinary  conduct of its business.  The Company has no plans for additional
     financing and there can be no assurance such financing will be available.

1, 1996 and 291,937 shares are re-acquired as of October 1, 1995.

(2) In 1997 and 1996 there were no other potentially dilutive securities present
other than the common stock equivalents  (common stock warrants and common stock
options),  therefore,  primary and fully diluted  earnings per share amounts are
the same.
