                             June 30, 1998 and 1997

(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  (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 ending September 30, 1997, 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"),
International   Trader   Association,   Inc.  ("ITA")  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

(3)    Stock Dividend
On  November  14, 1997 the  Company's  Board of  Directors  declared a 10% stock
dividend for  shareholders of record on December 26, 1997 and payable on January
20, 1998. The 10% stock dividend  increased the Company's issued and outstanding
common shares by 140,648 shares.

(4)    Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
On October 1, 1997 the Company  adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share.  Comparative  earnings
per share data for the quarter  ended June 30, 1997 has been  restated to adhere
to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

Basic  earnings  (loss) per share for the nine  months  ended June 30,  1998 and
1997,  have been computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted  average
number of common  shares  outstanding.  Diluted  earnings per share for the nine
months  ended June 30,  1997 has been  computed  by  dividing  net income by the
weighted  average number of common shares and dilutive  potential  common shares
outstanding.  Diluted  loss per share for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 is
the same as basic  loss per share  because  of the  anti-dilutive  impact of the
potential common shares, due to the net loss for the period.

Basic  earnings  (loss) per share for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998 and
1997,  have been computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted  average
number of common shares  outstanding.  Diluted  earnings per share for the three
months  ended June 30,  1997,  has been  computed by dividing  net income by the
weighted  average number of common shares and dilutive  potential  common shares
outstanding.  Diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 1998 is
the same as basic  loss per share  because  of the  anti-dilutive  impact of the
potential common shares, due to the net loss for the period.

Due to the issuance of the 10% stock  dividend,  the  computations  of basic and
diluted  earnings  (loss) per share  have been  adjusted  retroactively  for all
periods presented to reflect the additional number of shares issued.

(5)    Leases
The Company occupies leased office space of approximately  13,815 square feet at
250 Park Avenue South, Winter Park,  Florida.  The expiration date of the office
lease is May 31, 2001.  The lease  includes an option to renew for an additional
three years at a rental rate determined by the landlord.

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 $204,925 and $230,583 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997,  respectively.  The minimum lease payments
under noncancelable operating leases as of June 30, 1998 are as follows:

      Total future minimum lease payments         $1,176,300

(6)   Stock Repurchase Program

The Board of Directors has  authorized the Company to continue its repurchase of
up to  $500,000  in  shares of the  Company's  common  stock in the open  market
through the period ended December 31, 1998. 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. Since the inception of the repurchase program on March 13, 1996 the
Company has  repurchased  and retired a total of 35,630  shares (as adjusted for
the 10% stock dividend) in the open market at a total cost of $129,233.

In addition, concurrent with the open market repurchase program, the Company has
repurchased  and retired an  additional  45,766  shares (as adjusted for the 10%
stock  dividend) from terminated  participants  of the Company's  Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) for a total cost of $142,495.

In total the Company has  repurchased  81,396  shares (as  adjusted  for the 10%
stock dividend) for a total cost of $271,728 since March 13, 1996.

(7)    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Company was involved in a National  Association of Securities Dealers (NASD)
arbitration hearing that concluded on November 7, 1997. On January 16, 1998, the
Company received  notification  from the NASD arbitration panel that an award of
$99,845 plus $100,000  reimbursement  for a portion of the claimant's legal fees
was  awarded  to the  claimant.  The  cost of  both  the  award  and  legal  fee
reimbursement  was accrued in other  accrued  expenses in the  December 31, 1997
condensed consolidated financial statements and was paid on January 22, 1998.

(8)    New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and  Hedging  Activities"  (SFAS  133).  SFAS  133  establishes  accounting  and
reporting  standards for derivative  instruments,  including certain  derivative
instruments   embedded  in  other  contracts,   (collectively   referred  to  as
derivatives)  and for hedging  activities.  It requires that an entity recognize
all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure those  instruments at fair value. SFAS 133 is effective for
all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 5, 1999. The Company is
currently  reviewing  SFAS 133 to see what  impact,  if any, it will have on the
Company.

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

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 regulations 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 assurance  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's  assets  decreased  from  $7,928,214  at September  30, 1997,  to
$6,860,757  at June  30,  1998,  or a  decrease  of  $1,067,457.  The  Company's
liabilities  decreased  from  $2,100,820 at September 30, 1997, to $1,179,359 at
June 30, 1998, or a decrease of $921,461. The decrease in the net assets (assets
less  liabilities)  of $145,996  relates to the $48,592 net loss incurred by the
Company for the nine month  fiscal  period  ended June 30,  1998,  and the stock
repurchase costs from the stock repurchase program totaling $97,404 for the same
period.

The Company's condensed  consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 1998, reflects a
net receivable  from clearing  broker,  for trades which had not yet settled for
cash,  due to the proceeds  from the sale of  securities  exceeding  the cost of
securities purchased.

                                       12

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. 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.

Nine Months Ended June 30,  1998,  as Compared to
the Nine Months Ended June 30,1997

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  $1,609,000, or 18%
for the nine months  ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the nine months ended
June 30, 1997. For the nine months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997,  approximately
74%  and  73%,  respectively,  of  the  Company's  revenues  were  derived  from
commissions earned on the sale of securities. For the nine months ended June 30,
1998, and 1997,  approximately 21% of the Company's total revenues were from net
dealer inventory and investment gains (trading revenue).

Commission  revenue decreased by approximately  $1,166,000,  or 18% for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998,  as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
The decrease in commission  revenue is primarily  attributable to the volatility
of the Asian financial markets.  During the nine months ended June 30, 1998, the
overall volume of customer ticket orders  decreased by  approximately 5% and the
average  dollar  amount of retail  trades  decreased  by  approximately  14%, as
compared to the nine  months  ended June 30,  1997.  These  decreases  in ticket
volume and the average  dollar amount of retail  trades are directly  related to
the decrease in total commission revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 1998
over the same period in 1997.  The overall  decrease in  commission  revenue was
despite an increase in the nine month average number of account  executives from
42 as of June 30, 1997, to 43 as of June 30, 1998.

Revenues  from  net  dealer   inventory  and  investment   gains   decreased  by
approximately  $357,000,  or 18% for the nine  months  ended June 30,  1998,  as
compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in trading revenue
is primarily  attributable to a decrease in the Company's  retail trading income
due to the  volatility of the Asian  financial  markets.  The decrease in retail
trading was partially offset by increases in wholesale trading.  The increase in
wholesale  trading is attributable  to the ongoing  development of new wholesale
trading  relationships as well as maintaining existing wholesale  relationships.
The  Company's  retail  trading  department  primarily  concentrates  on  global
securities  that it  believes  are likely to be traded by the  Company's  retail
clients.  By focusing on these types of securities,  retail  trading  revenue is
more closely related to commission revenue and order flow.

Other revenue decreased by approximately  $86,000, or 18% during the nine months
ended June 30, 1998,  as compared to the nine months  ended June 30,  1997.  The
decrease in other  revenue is primarily  due to decreases in list rental  income
and newsletter subscription fee income.

The major  expenses  incurred  by the  Company  relate  to  direct  costs of its
securities   operations  such  as  commissions   and  clearing  fees,   employee
compensation  and  benefits,  communications  and  promotions  expense and other
operating expenses.  Total expenses decreased by approximately  $662,000,  or 8%
for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997.
This  decrease  in total  expense is  primarily  attributable  to  decreases  in
commissions and clearing fees and employee compensation and benefits expense.

Commissions and clearing fees decreased by approximately $497,000, or 13% during
the nine  months  ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the same period in 1997.
This decrease is primarily  attributable  to the  corresponding  approximate 18%
decrease  in  commission  revenue for the nine months  ended June 30,  1998,  as
compared to the same period in 1997.  The decrease in  commissions  and clearing
fees is also related to the 5% decrease in retail ticket volume.

Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased by approximately  $446,000,
or 23% during the nine  months  ended June 30,  1998,  as  compared  to the nine
months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in employee  compensation  and benefits
is  primarily  due to a decrease  in  performance  based  bonus  accruals  and a
decrease in  retirement  plan profit  sharing  accruals.  The  decrease in these
employee  compensation and benefits accruals is based on the approximate $42,000
loss  before  income  taxes  incurred  for the nine  months  ended June 30, 1998
compared to the  approximate  $905,000  income  before income taxes for the same
period in 1997.

Communications and promotions expense increased by approximately  $72,000, or 7%
during the nine months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the nine months ended
June 30, 1997.  This increase is primarily  related to increases in expenditures
for promotional print media including postage, printing and design costs.

Other operating expenses increased by approximately  $208,000, or 16% during the
nine months ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the nine months ended June 30,
1997.  Approximately $100,000 of the increase is for the award of an arbitration
matter and an additional  $100,000 of the increase is for partial  reimbursement
of the claimant's legal fees also awarded to the claimant in the same matter.

As a result of the above, the Company is reporting a loss before income taxes of
approximately  $42,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. This is compared
to income  before  income  taxes of  approximately  $905,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1997.

                                       14
<PAGE>

The Company  did not record an  expected  income tax benefit for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 due to the presence of offsetting permanent tax differences.
The  Company's  effective  income  tax rate was  approximately  41% for the nine
months ended June 30, 1997.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998, as Compared to 
the Three Months Ended June 30,1997

Total  revenues  decreased  by  approximately  $1,214,000,  or 35% for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.
For the three months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997,  approximately  74% and 73%,
respectively,  of the Company's revenues were derived from commissions earned on
the sale of  securities.  For the three months  ended June 30,  1998,  and 1997,
approximately  19% and 22%,  respectively,  of the Company's total revenues were
derived from net dealer inventory and investment gains (trading revenue).

Commission  revenue  decreased by approximately  $867,000,  or 35% for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.
The  decrease  in  commission  revenues  is related to a 13%  decrease in ticket
volume and a 26%  decrease in the  average  dollar  amount of trades  during the
three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the three months ended June 30,
1997.

Revenues  from net  dealer  inventory  and  investment  gains  (trading  income)
decreased by approximately  $326,000, or 44% for the three months ended June 30,
1998,  as compared to the three  months  ended June 30,  1997.  The  decrease in
trading revenue is attributable to decreases in the Company's  retail equity and
retail  fixed-income  trading  income.  The decrease in retail equity and retail
fixed-income  trading income is related to the decrease in retail order flow and
an  approximate  35% decrease in  commission  revenue for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.

Other  revenues  decreased  by  approximately  $22,000,  or 12% during the three
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.
This  decrease is primarily  attributable  to decreases in interest and dividend
income, list rental and newsletter subscription revenues.

The  major  expenses  incurred  by the  Company  relate to the  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  $798,000, or 27% for the three months ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. This decrease in expenses
is  primarily  attributable  to  decreases in  commissions  and  clearing  fees,
employee compensation and benefits and other operating expenses.

                                       15
<PAGE>

Commissions and clearing fees decreased by approximately $395,000, or 28% during
the three months  ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the same period in 1997.
This decrease in expense is directly  related to the approximate 35% decrease in
commission revenue for the same period.

Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased by approximately  $230,000,
or 32% during the three  months  ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the three
months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in employee  compensation  and benefits
is  primarily  due to a decrease  in  performance  based  bonus  accruals  and a
decrease in  retirement  plan profit  sharing  accruals.  The  decrease in these
employee  compensation and benefits accruals is based on the approximate  $1,000
loss before  income  taxes  incurred  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998
compared to the  approximate  $415,000  income  before income taxes for the same
period in 1997.

Communication and promotions expense decreased by approximately  $24,000,  or 7%
during the three  months  ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 1997. This decrease is primarily due to decreased  communications
activity  and  the  related  expense.  Other  operating  expenses  decreased  by
approximately  $149,000,  or 30% during the three months ended June 30, 1998, as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.

As a result of the above, the Company is reporting a loss before income taxes of
approximately  $1,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This is compared
to income  before  income taxes of  approximately  $415,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997.

The Company did not record an expected  income tax benefit for the three  months
ended June 30, 1998 due to the presence of offsetting permanent tax differences.
The  Company's  effective  income tax rate was  approximately  40% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital  Resources

Substantial  portions  of the  Company's  assets are liquid.  At June 30,  1998,
approximately  87% 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 June 30,  1998,  IAAC had net capital of  approximately
$2,602,000,  which was  approximately  $2,484,000  in excess of its  minimum net
capital requirement at that date.

                                       16
<PAGE>

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.  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.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

    ITEM 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company was involved in a National  Association of Securities Dealers (NASD)
arbitration hearing that concluded on November 7, 1997. On January 16, 1998, the
Company received  notification  from the NASD arbitration panel that an award of
$99,845 plus $100,000  reimbursement  for a portion of the claimant's legal fees
was  awarded  to the  claimant.  The  cost of  both  the  award  and  legal  fee
reimbursement  was accrued in other  accrued  expenses in the  December 31, 1997
condensed consolidated financial statements and was paid on January 22, 1998.

The Company is party to certain additional arbitration and/or litigation matters
as of June 30, 1998 which relate  primarily  to matters  arising in the ordinary
course  of  business.  Management  of the  Company  anticipates  that the  final
resolution of these  additional items will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The foregoing  discussion contains certain  "forward-looking  statements" within
the  meaning of the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995.  Such
forward-looking  statements involve various risks and uncertainties with respect
to current legal proceedings. Although the Company believes that its expectation
with  respect  to  the  forward-looking  statements  is  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.

  Weighted average number of net common shares that would
  be issued upon exercise of dilutive options and warrants assuming
  proceeds used to repurchase shares pursuant to the treasury
  stock method (2)                                                                                            51,214

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for 1998 because of the anti-dilutive
      impact of the dilutive potential common shares due to the net loss for 1998.

(2) The treasury stock method recognizes the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of
     options and warrants in computing diluted earnings per share.  It assumes exercise of options and
     warrants as of the beginning of the period or when issued, if later, and that any proceeds would be
     used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
