Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Consolidation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

International Assets Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively “INTL” or “the Company”) form a financial services group focused on select international markets. We commit our capital and expertise to market-making and dealing in financial instruments, currencies and commodities, and to asset management. The Company’s activities are divided into five functional areas - international equities market-making, international debt capital markets, foreign exchange trading, commodities trading and asset management.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions and requirements of Form 10-Q 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

These financial statements include the accounts of International Assets Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Equity investments in which we exercise control or variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary have been consolidated. Our fiscal year end is September 30, and our fiscal quarters end on December 31, March 31 and June 30. Unless otherwise stated, all dates refer to our fiscal years and fiscal periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. This FSP states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Upon adoption, a company is required to retrospectively adjust its earnings per share data (including any amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions in this FSP. However, early application of the provisions in this FSP is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of FSP 03-6-1 on our results of operations.

In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of FSP 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 expands quarterly disclosure requirements in SFAS 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on disclosures in our financial statements.

INTERNATIONAL ASSETS HOLDING CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

(Unaudited)

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (FSP 157-2), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FSP 157-2 deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. As a result of FSP 157-2, we will adopt SFAS 157 for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities beginning with the first interim period of our fiscal year 2010. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December, 2007, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110). SAB 110 amends the SEC’s views discussed in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) regarding the use of the simplified method in developing estimates of the expected lives of share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)). During 2007 the Company calculated the expected term of options granted using the simplified method in accordance with SAB 107. The simplified method was intended to be a temporary estimation technique and was to be phased out as more detailed information about exercise behavior became readily available. SAB 110 was effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2008. Beginning in the second quarter of 2008, we estimate the expected term of options granted based on our historical experience with our employees’ exercise of stock options and other factors. The implementation of SAB 110 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) (revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, preacquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS No. 141(R), changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. We will adopt SFAS No. 141(R) beginning October 1, 2009 and will change our accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis for business combinations completed on or after that date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 160 will be effective for us beginning on October 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39. FSP FIN 39-1 modifies FIN 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, and permits companies to offset cash collateral receivables or payables with net derivative positions under certain circumstances. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted FSP FIN 39-1 which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2006, the FASB issued EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements. EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. EITF 00-19-2 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted EITF 00-19-2 with effect from October 1, 2007. The adoption has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2 – Reclassifications and Change in Accounting Policy

Effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company has elected to change its accounting policy related to netting of customer cash collateral balances against financial instruments where a right of setoff exists with the same counterparty under master netting agreements. The Company believes that it is preferable to net these balances against each other in order to better present the Company’s exposure related to financial instruments and customer balances. The balance sheet as of September 30, 2007 has been adjusted to reflect the netting of $60,795,000 in balances payable to customers representing cash collateral offset against financial instruments executed with the same counterparty under master netting agreements.

Effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company reclassified certain prior period balances from professional fees to clearing and related expenses. The reclassified fees were fund service accounting charges which are based on the value of the respective fund. The net result of this change for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2007 was an increase in clearing and related expenses of $276,000 and a corresponding decrease of $276,000 in professional fees. The change for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was an increase in clearing and related expenses of $109,000 and a corresponding decrease of $109,000 in professional fees.

Note 3 – Financial Instruments Owned and Financial Instruments Sold, Not Yet Purchased, at Market Value

Financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold, not yet purchased, at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 consisted of trading and investment financial instruments at market values, as follows:

	$	263,586	$	197,184	$	146,951	$	163,763

The significant increase in corporate and municipal bond balances between September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008 relates to the consolidation of the assets and liabilities of the INTL Consilium Convertible Arbitrage Fund with effect from the quarter ended June 30, 2008 (see Note 8).

Note 4 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company is party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its business. The Company has sold financial instruments that it does not currently own and will therefore be obliged to purchase such financial instruments at a future date. The Company has recorded these obligations in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2008 at the fair values of the related financial instruments. The Company will incur losses if the market value of the financial instruments increases subsequent to June 30, 2008. The total of $197,184,000 at June 30, 2008 includes $32,566,000 for derivative contracts, which represent a liability to the Company based on their fair values as of June 30, 2008.

The Company’s derivative contracts are principally held in its commodities business segment. The Company assists its commodities customers in protecting the value of their future production by entering into option or forward agreements with them on an OTC basis. The Company also provides its commodities customers with sophisticated option products, including combinations of buying and selling puts and calls. The Company mitigates its risk by effecting offsetting OTC options with market counterparties or through the purchase or sale of exchange-traded commodities futures. The risk mitigation of offsetting options is not within the documented hedging designation requirements of SFAS No. 133.

These derivative contracts are traded along with cash transactions because of the integrated nature of the markets for such products. The Company manages the risks associated with derivatives on an aggregate basis along with the risks associated with its proprietary trading and market-making activities in cash instruments as part of its firm-wide risk management policies. In particular, the risks related to derivative positions may be partially offset by inventory, unrealized gains in inventory or cash collateral paid or received.

In the normal course of business, the Company purchases and sells financial instruments and foreign currencies as either principal or agent on behalf of its customers. If either the customer or counterparty fails to perform, the Company may be required to discharge the obligations of the nonperforming party. In such circumstances, the Company may sustain a loss if the market value of the financial instrument or foreign currency is different from the contract value of the transaction.

The majority of the Company’s transactions and, consequently, the concentration of its credit exposure is with customers, broker-dealers and other financial institutions. These activities primarily involve collateralized and uncollateralized arrangements and may result in credit exposure in the event that a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk can be directly impacted by volatile financial markets, which may impair the ability of counterparties to satisfy their contractual obligations. The Company seeks to control its credit risk through a variety of reporting and control procedures, including establishing credit limits based upon a review of the counterparties’ financial condition and credit ratings. The Company monitors collateral levels on a daily basis for compliance with regulatory and internal guidelines and requests changes in collateral levels as appropriate. The Company established a bad debt provision of $1,191,000 during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008, arising from the failure of a customer to meet its obligations under a contract with the Company. The total amount payable by the customer was $2,382,000. In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in recovering any of the amount owed, the Company will incur an additional charge for any balance owed.

Note 5 – Physical Commodities Inventory

Physical commodities inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined using the specific identification weighted average price method. Commodities in process include commodities in the process of being recycled. The values of the Company’s inventory at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 are shown below.


(In thousands)	June 30, 2008		September 30, 2007
Commodities in process	$	10,364	$	10,821
Finished commodities		57,452		28,612

	$	67,816	$	39,433

Note 6 – Trust Certificates and Total Return Swap

During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company entered into a series of financial transactions (the ‘Transactions’) with an unaffiliated financial institution for a transaction fee. These Transactions involved three distinct and simultaneous steps:

the acquisition by the Company of beneficial interests (‘Trust Interests’) in certain trusts (the ‘Trusts’) in exchange for the assumption of a liability to deliver securities, at a transaction value of $29,740,000. This step did not require any prior purchase or delivery of securities by the Company. The Trusts were previously established by the financial institution to hold a variety of real estate assets;

the entry into a repurchase agreement under the terms of which the Company notionally repurchased these undelivered securities for cash, at a price of $29,740,000;

the entry into a total return swap (‘TRS’) agreement.

Under the TRS agreement the Company received, on a notional basis, the cash amount of $29,740,000 as collateral for the potential liability of the financial institution to the Company.

The net result is that the Company initially reported the effects of a) above as an increase in assets represented by the Trust Interests, and the assumption of a liability to deliver securities, at the initial transaction value of $29,740,000. Over time, as the values of the Trust Interests and securities deliverable changed as a result of changes in value or the sale of the Trust Interests, the Company recorded equal and offsetting changes in the values of the TRS receivables or payables.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the remaining Trust Interests were sold by the Company in exchange for the release of its obligation to deliver to the buyer United States Government strip bonds maturing February 15, 2008, at fair value of $22,134,000. As anticipated, the only net impact of the transactions on the Company’s net cash flow was the receipt of fee revenue.

Note 7 – Goodwill

The Company acquired the Gainvest group of companies (“INTL Gainvest”), specialists in local markets securitization and asset management in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, in May 2007. Pursuant to this acquisition, the Company made a payment of $1,425,000 to the sellers on June 1, 2008 equal to 25% of the aggregate revenues of INTL Gainvest earned for the year ended April 30, 2008, which has been recorded as additional goodwill. The Company is obligated to make a further payment on June 1, 2009 equal to 25% of the aggregate revenues that INTL Gainvest will earn during the year ending April 30, 2009. The revenues on which the 25% is calculated are subject to a minimum threshold of $5.5 million and a maximum ceiling of $11 million for the year ending April 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2008, the aggregate revenues of INTL Gainvest since May 1, 2008 had not exceeded the minimum threshold of $5.5 million for the year ending April 30, 2009. An amount equal to 25% of INTL Gainvest’s revenues for the year ending April 30, 2009 will be recorded as additional goodwill if and when the minimum revenue threshold is achieved.

Note 8 – Related Party Transactions

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had investments valued at $11,946,000 in two hedge funds managed by INTL Consilium, LLC (‘INTL Consilium’), including $11,081,000 in the INTL Consilium Convertible Arbitrage Fund (‘the ICCAF fund’). The Company owns a 50.1% interest in INTL Consilium. The Company also has an investment valued at $11,026,000 in the INTL Trade Finance Fund Limited, a fund managed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, INTL Capital Limited. This fund invests primarily in global trade finance-related assets. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company invested an additional $5 million in the ICCAF fund, increasing its interest in the ICCAF fund to 69%. Under the provisions of FIN 46 (R) the Company was required to consolidate the ICCAF fund as a variable interest entity in the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Accordingly, the minority interest shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations also includes the minority interests in the ICCAF fund. The creditors of the ICCAF fund have no recourse on the general assets of the Company. The Company’s investments in unconsolidated hedge funds are included in ‘Investment in managed funds, at fair value’ on the balance sheet.

Note 9 – Payable to Lenders under Loans and Overdrafts

As of June 30, 2008 the Company had four credit facilities under which the Company may borrow up to $185 million, subject to certain conditions. Interest expense related to the Company’s credit facilities was approximately $1,628,000 and $1,693,000 for the three months and $5,173,000 and $3,411,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company’s four credit facilities at June 30, 2008 consisted of the following:

A one-year, renewable, revolving syndicated committed loan facility established on June 27, 2008 under which the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, INTL Commodities, Inc. (‘INTL Commodities’) is entitled to borrow up to $125 million, subject to certain conditions. There are six commercial banks that are the underlying lenders within the syndicate group. The loan proceeds will be used to finance the activities of INTL Commodities and are secured by its inventory and receivables. The interest rate for the facility depends on the ratio of borrowings to equity and ranges between 2.00% and 2.25% over the federal funds rate (2.00% at June 30, 2008) or over the LIBOR rate for the applicable term, at the Company’s election.

A demand facility established on March 5, 2008, under which the Company’s Dubai joint venture, INTL Commodities DMCC, may borrow up to $15 million, subject to certain conditions. The facility is secured by inventory and receivables.

Two additional lines of credit with a commercial bank under which the Company may borrow up to $45 million, subject to certain conditions. One of these lines of credit is secured by certain of the Company’s assets. The other is secured by a pledge of shares held in certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The interest rate on these facilities was 2.40% over the one-month London Interbank Offered Rates (‘LIBOR’) (approximately 2.46% at June 30, 2008).

At June 30, 2008, the Company had the following credit facilities and outstanding borrowings:


		June 30, 2008
Security	Maturity Date	Maximum Amount		Amount Outstanding
Certain foreign exchange assets	July 31, 2008	$	20,000,000	$	13,795,000
Certain pledged shares	July 31, 2008		25,000,000		19,450,000
Certain commodities assets	On demand		15,000,000		9,776,000
Certain commodities assets	June 27, 2009		125,000,000		80,000,000

Note 10 – Convertible Subordinated Notes and Debt Issuance Costs

The Company had $25 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior subordinated convertible notes due 2011 (‘Notes’) outstanding as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and bear interest at the rate of 7.625% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. Debt issuance costs are net of accumulated amortization of $533,000 and $311,000 at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively. Amortization charged to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $74,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and $222,000 and $228,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.

The Notes are currently convertible by the holders into 981,547 shares of common stock of the Company, at a conversion price of $25.47 per share. Effective March 22, 2008, if the dollar-volume weighted average price of the common stock exceeds, for any twenty out of thirty consecutive trading days, 150% of the conversion price of the Notes, the Company has the right to require the holders of the Notes to convert all or any portion of the Notes into shares of Common Stock at the then-applicable conversion price.

In the event that the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the 12 months preceding the end of any fiscal quarter is less than 2.0, the interest rate on the Notes will be increased by 2.0% to 9.625% per annum, effective as of the first day of the following fiscal quarter. Through the quarter ended June 30, 2008, no such increase has been necessary. Holders may redeem their Notes at par if the interest coverage ratio set forth in the Notes is less than 2.75 for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2009.

The Company entered into a separate Registration Rights Agreement with the holders of the Notes, under which the Company was required to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (‘the SEC’) a Registration Statement on Form S-3 within a specified period of time. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on October 24, 2006. The Company is required, under the Registration Rights Agreement, to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, failing which it could become liable to pay holders of the Notes liquidated damages of 1% of the value of the Notes upon a failure to maintain effectiveness of the Registration Statement, plus a further 1% for every 30 days that it remains ineffective thereafter, up to an aggregate maximum of 10% of the value of the Notes. At June 30, 2008 the Company was in compliance with its requirements under the Registration Rights Agreement.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

As discussed in Note 7 – Goodwill, the Company has a contingent liability relating to the acquisition of INTL Gainvest which may result in the payment of additional consideration in June 2009.

As discussed in Note 10 – Convertible Subordinated Notes and Related Debt Issuance Costs, the Notes may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at any time by the holders. The Notes also contain a provision to increase the interest rate by 2%, subject to certain conditions measured on a quarterly basis.

Note 12 – Capital and Other Regulatory Requirements

Our wholly-owned subsidiary INTL Trading, Inc. (‘INTL Trading’) is a registered broker dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital not exceed 15 to 1. Equity capital may not be withdrawn if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At June 30, 2008, INTL Trading’s net capital was $1.5 million, which was $500,000 in excess of its minimum requirement.

The Company has invested $3.8 million in one of its subsidiaries, INTL Global Currencies (Asia) Ltd., and made a $1 million subordinated loan to that subsidiary in order to meet the minimum capital requirements imposed by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. Another subsidiary, INTL Capital Limited (‘INTL Capital’), is regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, in the United Arab Emirates, and is subject to a minimum capital requirement of approximately $500,000 as of June 30, 2008.

Note 13 – Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. This pronouncement amended SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and superseded Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that companies account for awards of equity instruments under the fair value method of accounting and recognize such amounts in their statements of operations. On October 1, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective method. Under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company is required to measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations over the service period that the awards are expected to vest. As permitted under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company has elected to recognize compensation cost for all options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire option, including unvested option awards granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, as permitted by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure, and provided the necessary pro forma disclosures required under SFAS No. 123. Under the intrinsic value method, the difference between the market price on the date of grant and the exercise price is charged to the statement of operations over the vesting period. Since options that were granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) were granted with exercise prices at, or higher than, the then market value, no compensation expense had been recognized for the fair values of such grants under APB 25.

Stock-based compensation expense is included within ‘Compensation and benefits’ in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and totaled $428,000 and $194,000 for the three months and $1,116,000 and $543,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Stock Option Plans

Consistent with the valuation method for the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton model to value the compensation expense associated with stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123(R). In addition, forfeitures are estimated when recognizing compensation expense, and the estimate of forfeitures are adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

The following weighted average assumptions were used in the estimated grant date fair value calculations for stock options for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 30, 2008		June 30, 2007		June 30, 2008		June 30, 2007
Stock option plans:
Expected stock price volatility	65	%	68	%	61	%	66	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%	0	%
Risk free interest rate	2.78	%	4.61	%	3.18	%	4.54	%
Average expected life (in years)	2.80		3.50		2.96		3.50

Expected stock price volatility rates are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. We have not paid dividends in the past and do not currently expect to do so in the future. Risk free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option or award. The average expected life represents the estimated period of time that options or awards granted are expected to be outstanding, based on the Company’s historical share option exercise experience for similar option grants.

Note 14 – Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the diluted net income (loss) per share computations for the periods presented below.


	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
(In thousands)	June 30, 2008		June 30, 2007			June 30, 2008		June 30, 2007

Add: Interest on convertible debt, net of tax		353		—			1,061		—

Diluted net income (loss)	$	7,151	$	(3,742	)	$	26,784	$	(4,558	)

Denominator:
Weighted average number of:
Common shares outstanding		8,482		8,197			8,402		8,033
Dilutive potential common shares outstanding:
Share-based awards		490		—			566		—
Convertible debt		982		—			982		—

Diluted weighted-average shares		9,954		8,197			9,950		8,033

The dilutive effect of share-based awards is reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the treasury stock method, which includes consideration of unamortized share-based compensation expense required by SFAS No. 123 (R). The dilutive effect of convertible debt has been reflected in diluted net income per share by application of the if-converted method.

Options to purchase 124,439 shares of common stock for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008 were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they would have been anti-dilutive. No options to purchase shares of common stock or convertible subordinated notes payable which are convertible into common shares were considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007 because they would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 15 – Taxes

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007 and was not required to record any cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as a result of this adoption. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns with the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states, and various foreign jurisdictions. We are in the process of a review by the Internal Revenue Service (‘IRS’) for fiscal year 2006 which we expect will result in offsetting changes to our current taxes payable and our provision for deferred taxes but will have no effect on our recorded tax expense.

Note 16 – Segment Analysis

The Company’s activities are currently divided into five functional areas: international equities market-making, international debt capital markets, foreign exchange trading, commodities trading and asset management.

International Equities Market-Making

Through INTL Trading, the Company acts as a wholesale market maker in select foreign securities including unlisted ADRs and foreign ordinary shares. INTL Trading provides execution and liquidity to national broker-dealers, regional broker-dealers and institutional investors.

International Debt Capital Markets

The Company actively trades a wide variety of international debt instruments including both investment grade and higher yielding emerging market bonds with particular focus on smaller emerging market sovereign, corporate and bank bonds that trade worldwide on an over-the-counter basis. The Company also arranges international debt transactions and asset backed securitizations for issuers located primarily in emerging markets. These transactions include bond issues, syndicated loans, and asset backed securitizations, as well as forms of other negotiable debt instruments. The revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities relating to the Trust Certificate and Total Return Swap discussed in Note 6 are included in this segment.

Foreign Exchange Trading

The Company trades currencies, with a focus on illiquid currencies of developing countries. The Company’s customers are financial institutions, multi-national corporations, governmental organizations and charitable organizations operating in these developing countries. In addition, the Company executes trades based on the foreign currency flows inherent in the Company’s existing business activities. The Company primarily acts as a principal in buying and selling foreign currencies on a spot basis. The Company derives revenue from the difference between the purchase and sale prices.

Commodities Trading

The Company provides a full range of trading and hedging capabilities to select producers, consumers, recyclers and investors in precious metals and certain base metals. Acting as a principal, the Company commits its own capital to buy and sell the metals on a spot and forward basis.

The Company records all of its physical commodities revenues on a gross basis. Operating revenues and losses from the Company’s commodities derivatives activities are recorded in ‘Net dealer inventory and investment gains’. All of the Company’s other businesses report their revenues on a net basis. Inventory for the commodities business is valued at the lower of cost or market value, under the provisions of ARB No. 43. The Company generally mitigates the price risk associated with commodities held in inventory through the use of derivatives. This price risk mitigation does not generally qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP. In such situations, unrealized gains in inventory are not recognized under GAAP, but unrealized gains and losses in related derivative positions are recognized under GAAP. As a result, the Company’s reported earnings from commodities trading are subject to significant volatility.

Asset Management

The asset management segment revenues include fees, commissions and other revenues received by the Company for management of third party assets and investment gains or losses on the Company’s investments in managed funds and proprietary accounts managed either by the Company’s investment managers or by independent investment managers.

Other

All other transactions that do not relate to the operating segments above are classified as ‘Other’. Certain cash accounts and balances were maintained to support the administration of all of the operating segments. These multi-segment assets were allocated to ‘Other’. Revenue reported for ‘Other’ includes interest income but not interest expense.

The total revenues reported combine gross revenues for the commodities business and net revenues for all other businesses. In order to reflect the way that the Company’s management views the results, the tables below also reflect the segmental contribution to ‘Operating revenues’, which is shown on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and which is calculated by deducting physical commodities cost of sales from total revenues.

Segment data includes the profitability measure of net contribution by segment. Net contribution is one of the key measures used by management to assess the performance of each segment and for decisions regarding the allocation of the Company’s resources. Net contribution is calculated as revenue less direct cost of sales, clearing and clearing related charges and variable trader bonus compensation. Variable trader bonus compensation represents a fixed percentage of an amount equal to revenues produced less clearing and related charges, base salaries and an overhead allocation.

Inter-segment revenues, charges, receivables and payables are eliminated between segments, except revenues and costs related to foreign currency transactions undertaken on an arm’s length basis by the foreign exchange trading business for the equity and debt trading business. The foreign exchange trading business competes for this business as it does for any other business. If its rates are not competitive the equity and debt trading businesses buy or sell their foreign currency through other market counter-parties. The profit or loss made by the foreign exchange trading business on these transactions is not quantifiable.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – (Continued)

(Unaudited)

Note 17 – Subsequent events

On July 30, 2008, the Company renewed two of its credit facilities with one of its lenders. The first of those lines was increased from $20 million to $25 million at a rate of 2.25% over LIBOR (approximately 2.46% at June 30, 2008) and is secured by certain of the Company’s foreign exchange assets. The second line was increased from $25 million to $35 million at the existing rate of 2.40% above LIBOR, and is secured by a pledge of shares held in certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Both of these lines of credit are now scheduled to expire on December 31, 2009.

On August 1, 2008, the Company notified the employees of its Hong Kong subsidiary, INTL Global Currencies (Asia) Ltd., of its intention to discontinue its margin foreign exchange trading operations. The Company incurred losses of $435,000 and $1,370,000 in this subsidiary during the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and incurred losses of $91,000 during the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008 the subsidiary’s net assets, excluding cash and intercompany balances, were $344,000. The Company is currently exploring either the closure or sale of INTL Global Currencies (Asia) Ltd.

The Company commits its capital and expertise to market-making and dealing in financial instruments, currencies and commodities, and to asset management. The Company’s activities are divided into five reportable business segments - international equities market-making, international debt capital markets, foreign exchange trading, commodities trading and asset management.

International Equities Market-Making. The Company is a leading US market maker in select foreign securities, including unlisted American Depository Receipts and foreign common shares. The Company provides execution and liquidity primarily to U.S.-based wirehouses, regional broker-dealers and institutional investors.

The Company actively trades a wide variety of international debt instruments including both investment grade and higher yielding emerging markets bonds with particular focus on smaller emerging market sovereign, corporate and bank bonds that trade worldwide on an over-the-counter basis. The Company also originates international debt transactions for issuers located primarily in emerging markets. This includes bond issues, syndicated loans, asset securitizations as well as forms of other negotiable debt instruments.

Foreign Exchange Trading. The Company trades select illiquid currencies of developing countries. The Company’s target customers are financial institutions, multi-national corporations, and governmental and charitable organizations operating in these developing countries.

Results of Operations

As discussed in prior quarters, the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to carry derivatives at fair market value but physical commodities inventory at the lower of cost or market value have a significant temporary impact on our reported earnings. Under GAAP, gains and losses on commodities inventory and derivatives which the Company intends to be offsetting are often recognized in different quarters. Additionally, GAAP does not require us to reflect changes in the estimated values of forward commitments to purchase and sell commodities.

For these reasons, management assesses the Company’s operating results on a marked-to-market basis. Management relies on these adjusted operating results to evaluate the performance of the Company’s commodities business segment and its personnel.

In the past the Company has approximated marked-to-market results by disclosing the change in any unrealized gains in inventory, which is required to be valued at the lower of cost or market value for GAAP purposes. While this captures most of the difference between GAAP results and the fully marked-to-market results utilized by management, there are other differences. These consist of changes in the estimated values of commodities forward commitments, after taking into account the estimated price of the underlying commodity and any estimated freight and conversion costs.

To assist investors, the Company has elected to provide a table which sets forth adjustments to results of operations under GAAP reflecting both the changes in any unrealized gains in inventory and the estimated values of commodities forward commitments. The Company believes that the information in this table better reflects the economic results of the Company and allows investors to review the marked-to-market financial data utilized by management in managing the Company’s business.

Because this is the first time that the Company has presented this unaudited, non-GAAP internal financial information, the Company has included a quarterly history of selected information beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2006, when the Company commenced its physical metals trading business. All differences between GAAP results and management’s marked-to-market results relate to the physical commodities business. All of the Company’s other businesses are accounted for and disclosed under GAAP on a fair value basis. We anticipate that in future filings the selected summary information will include only current and trailing twelve month disclosures of the unaudited, non-GAAP internal financial information.

Notes:

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP numbers: This portion of the table sets forth the amounts utilized to adjust reported operating revenues, net income and stockholders’ equity under GAAP. These amounts represent the differences between the GAAP information and the unaudited, pro forma, non-GAAP marked-to-market information shown in the table above. GAAP operating revenues were adjusted by the gross marked-to-market adjustment. GAAP net income was adjusted by the after tax marked-to-market adjustment. GAAP stockholders’ equity was adjusted by the cumulative after tax adjustment.

Reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA: This portion of the table shows, for comparative purposes, adjusted EBITDA on the basis disclosed in previous filings of the Company (adjusted only for the change in unrealized gains in inventory) and adjusted EBITDA on the basis to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report (adjusted both for the changes in unrealized gains in inventory and estimated values of commodities forward commitments). Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not recognized by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as an alternative to net income or as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.

The Company’s year-to-date performance in fiscal 2008 may be summarized as follows:

•

The significant expansion in the Company’s geographic presence during 2007 resulted in the acquisition of new customers, increased revenue and a corresponding increase in expenses during 2008

•

Operating revenues and net income were positively impacted by favorable market conditions during the first half of the fiscal year, but growth was moderated by less favorable conditions in the third quarter

As a trading firm, our performance from quarter to quarter will always be subject to unpredictable fluctuations. Management believes that the Company’s performance is best evaluated on a trailing 12 month marked-to-market basis. On this basis, the Company has experienced relatively consistent levels of adjusted return on average equity since fiscal 2006.

Set forth below is the Company’s discussion of the results of its operations, as viewed by management, for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 (respectively ‘Q3 2008’ and ‘Q3 2007’), and the first nine months of the fiscal years ending September 30, 2008 and 2007 (respectively ‘YTD 2008’ and ‘YTD 2007’). This discussion refers to both GAAP results and adjusted marked-to-market information, in line with the information presented in the table above. For the international

- 19 -

equities, international debt capital markets, foreign exchange trading and asset management segments, there are no differences between the GAAP results and the adjusted marked-to-market results. Only the commodities trading segment has differences between the GAAP results and the adjusted marked-to-market results. However, this means that there are differences between the GAAP basis and marked-to-market basis total operating revenues, total contribution and net income.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2007

(Component percentages shown in the tables below may not add up to 100% due to rounding)

Total Revenues. The Company’s total revenues under GAAP for Q3 2008 include physical commodities sales of $5,740,520,000. Revenues for Q3 2007 include physical commodities sales of $1,408,433,000. The Company believes that operating revenues, which are revenues after deduction of cost of goods sold, provide a more meaningful basis for assessing the Company’s performance. Operating revenues are discussed below.

Cost of Sales of Physical Commodities. The physical metals trading business is reported on a gross basis, showing sales and cost of sales separately. The cost of sales is the cost of commodities sold and delivered to customers and counterparties, including the cost of shipping, handling and storage. In Q3 2008 the cost of sales amounted to $5,738,727,000 and in Q3 2007 the cost of sales amounted to $1,401,847,000.

Operating Revenues: The Company’s operating revenues under GAAP for Q3 2008 and Q3 2007 were $30,955,000 and $9,488,000, respectively. The Company’s adjusted operating revenues for Q3 2008 and Q3 2007 were $23,281,000 and $18,661,000, respectively. The following table reflects the sources of the Company’s adjusted operating revenues as a percentage of the Company’s total adjusted operating revenues for Q3 2008 and Q3 2007.

Net Contribution: The Company utilizes net contribution to assess performance of the Company’s business segments. Net contribution consists of net operating revenues from each business activity, less direct clearing and clearing related charges and variable compensation to traders before the effects of any minority interests. Variable compensation to traders in the commodities trading segment is calculated on marked-to-market, not GAAP basis, results.

International equities market-making

Revenues in this segment consist principally of net trading revenue from market-making activities in American Depository Receipts traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Operating revenues increased by 10% from $7,020,000 in Q3 2007 to $7,702,000 in Q3 2008. The increase was attributable to very active market conditions and high trade volumes during the month of June which offset a quiet period earlier in the quarter, caused by uncertainties in the equities markets.

Foreign exchange trading

Revenues in this segment consist principally of net trading revenue derived from buying and selling foreign currencies on a spot basis, as principal, providing the Company’s customers access to and delivery of illiquid currencies of developing countries. Operating revenues increased by 43%, from $3,520,000 in Q3 2007 to $5,032,000 in Q3 2008. The increase in revenues was due to the expansion of the customer base and a corresponding increase in activity which the Company achieved through marketing and the introduction of new services.

Commodities trading

The Company deals in precious metals and certain base metals. Operating revenues under GAAP increased from a negative $6,837,000 in Q3 2007 to $12,662,000 in Q3 2008. Adjusted operating revenues increased 114% from $2,336,000 in Q3 2007 to $4,988,000 in Q3 2008.

The precious metals business generated $2,630,000 of adjusted operating revenues for the commodities trading segment in Q3 2008, while the base metals business generated $2,358,000. The corresponding numbers for Q3 2007 were $1,644,000 and $692,000 respectively. Precious metals adjusted operating revenues thus increased by 60% and the base metals adjusted operating revenues increased by 241% over the period. The improved results in Q3 2008 were primarily due to an increased customer base.

Asset management

Operating revenues in this segment include fees, commissions and other revenues received for management by the Company of third party assets, and investment gains or losses on the Company’s investments in managed funds or proprietary accounts managed either by the Company’s investment managers or by independent investment managers.

Operating revenues from asset management in Q3 2008 were $4,142,000, compared with $3,733,000 in Q3 2007. Total assets under management at June 30, 2008 were approximately $2.3 billion (including approximately $22 million invested by the Company in funds managed by the Company’s asset managers), compared with approximately $1.2 billion at June 30, 2007. The increase in operating revenues was a direct result of the growth in assets under management, which increased due to new subscriptions in the funds under management. Also included in the operating revenue of this segment are the gains or losses in a segregated account managed by INTL Consilium that was valued at $15 million at June 30, 2008.

Net Contribution. Net contribution consists of operating revenues, less cost of sales, direct clearing and clearing related charges and variable compensation paid to traders. Variable compensation paid to traders is based on revenues determined on a marked-to-market basis. Net contribution is one of the key measures used by management to assess the performance of each segment and for decisions regarding the allocation of the Company’s resources. Equity market-making revenues are stated before deduction of ADR conversion fees, while net contribution is stated after these fees. The Company’s net contribution under GAAP was $23,017,000 for Q3 2008 compared to $3,229,000 for Q3 2007. The Company’s adjusted net contribution was $15,343,000 for Q3 2008 compared to $12,402,000 for Q3 2007. The benefits of the Company’s expansion and diversification strategy are apparent in the improved distribution of the Q3 2008 number between four of the Company’s five business segments.

Interest Expense. The Company’s interest expense was $2,415,000 for Q3 2008, compared to $2,459,000 for Q3 2007. Although the business activity of the Company has increased over the past year, the average level of bank debt and other financing used to support the Company’s business fell during the quarter, with profitability and falling lead prices resulting in generally improved liquidity. The expense in Q3 2008 includes $475,000 of interest payable to holders of the Company’s senior subordinated convertible notes and $74,000 of convertible note issuance expense amortized and charged as interest.

Total Non-interest Expenses. The Company’s total non-interest expenses increased by 33% to $16,935,000 for Q3 2008 from $12,719,000 for Q3 2007. This increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of the business, including a substantial increase in the number of employees, the opening and acquisition of new offices in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay and higher variable compensation due to improved performance.

- 22 -

Compensation and Benefits. The Company’s compensation and benefit expense increased 40% from $7,139,000 for Q3 2007 to $10,024,000 for Q3 2008. The increase was primarily a consequence of higher staff levels and improved performance, leading to increased variable compensation. The Company employed an average of 141 people in Q3 2007 and an average of 183 people in Q3 2008, an increase of 30%.

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) with effect from October 1, 2006, using the “modified prospective” method. See Note 13 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R) and its effect on net income.

Clearing and Related Expenses. Clearing and related expenses increased by 14% from $3,194,000 for Q3 2007 to $3,651,000 for Q3 2008. The total ADR conversion fees were $670,000 and $555,000 for Q3 2008 and Q3 2007, respectively. The increase in clearing and related expenses was primarily due to the increase in activity in the equity market-making business.

Other Non-Interest Expenses. Other non-interest expenses increased 37% from $2,386,000 in Q3 2007 to $3,260,000 in Q3 2008. The increase in non-interest expenses primarily relates to the general expansion of the Company’s business, in both activity and geographically.

Tax Expense. On a GAAP basis, the Company’s effective income tax rate applied was approximately 40% for Q3 2008 and 36% for Q3 2007. The rate applied to the pro forma commodities mark-to-market adjustments is 37.5%, which is the effective rate for the Company’s subsidiary, INTL Commodities, Inc.

Minority Interest. The minority interest in the consolidated net income of the Company was $165,000 in Q3 2008 compared with $95,000 in Q3 2007. The minority interest primarily represents the interests of the Company’s joint venture partners in INTL Consilium and INTL Commodities DMCC. During the quarter the Company invested an additional $5 million in the INTL Consilium Convertible Arbitrage Fund (‘the ICCAF fund’), increasing its interest in the ICCAF fund to 69%. Under the provisions of FIN 46 (R) the Company was required to consolidate the ICCAF fund as a variable interest entity in Q3 2008. Accordingly, the minority interest shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations also includes the minority interests in the ICCAF fund.

International equities market-making

Revenues in this segment consist principally of net trading revenue from market-making activities in American Depository Receipts traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. Operating revenues increased by 24% from $20,181,000 in YTD 2007 to $25,118,000 in YTD 2008. The increase was attributable to volatility in the market during YTD 2008, in response to significant changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates, resulting in very active market conditions and higher trading volumes over most of the period.

International debt capital markets

Revenues in this segment principally consist of fee income for the arrangement, structuring and placement of debt instruments. They also include revenue from trading in fixed income securities and short term debt instruments. Operating revenues decreased by 26% from $4,005,000 in YTD 2007 to $2,947,000 in YTD 2008. The composition of this segment’s revenues has changed over the course of fiscal 2007 and into 2008, as the focus of this business shifted to arrangement, structuring and placement of debt instruments along with the acquisition of INTL Gainvest. This shift took place partly because of a substantial decrease in trading spreads due to more transparent pricing. In YTD 2007, 62% of this segment’s operating revenue came from trading gains while 38% came in the form of fees. In YTD 2008, 8% came from trading gains and 92% came in the form of fees.

Foreign exchange trading

Revenues in this segment consist principally of net trading revenue derived from buying and selling foreign currencies on a spot basis, as principal, providing the Company’s customers access to and delivery of illiquid currencies of developing countries. Operating revenues increased by 83%, from $9,002,000 in YTD 2007 to $16,447,000 in YTD 2008. The increase in revenues was due to the expansion of the customer base and a corresponding increase in activity.

Commodities trading

The Company deals in precious metals and certain base metals. Operating revenues under GAAP increased from a negative $9,247,000 in YTD 2007 to $43,082,000 in YTD 2008. Adjusted operating revenues from commodities trading increased from $9,487,000 in YTD 2007 to $19,611,000 in YTD 2008.

The precious metals business generated $7,377,000 of adjusted operating revenues for the commodities trading segment, while the base metals business generated $12,234,000. The corresponding numbers for YTD 2007 were $3,688,000 and $5,799,000 respectively. The precious metals adjusted operating revenues thus increased by 100% and the base metals adjusted operating revenues increased by 111% over the period. The performance in YTD 2008 improved significantly over YTD 2007 as a result of an increased customer base.

Asset management

Operating revenues increased by 80% from $8,958,000 in YTD 2007 to $16,150,000 in YTD 2008. Total assets under management at June 30, 2008 were approximately $2.3 billion (including approximately $22 million invested by the Company in funds managed by

- 25 -

the Company’s asset managers), compared with approximately $1.3 billion at September 30, 2007 and $1.2 billion at June 30, 2007. The increase in operating revenues was a direct result of the growth in assets under management, which increased due to new subscriptions in the funds under management. Also included in the operating revenue of this segment are the gains in a segregated account managed by INTL Consilium that was valued at $14 million at June 30, 2008.

Adjusted Net Contribution. Net contribution consists of operating revenues, less cost of sales, direct clearing and clearing related charges and variable compensation paid to traders. Variable compensation paid to traders is based on revenues determined on a marked-to-market basis. Equity market-making revenues are stated before deduction of ADR conversion fees, while net contribution is stated after these fees. Net contribution is one of the key measures used by management to assess the performance of each segment and for decisions regarding the allocation of the Company’s resources. The Company’s adjusted net contribution was $56,455,000 for YTD 2008 compared to $35,162,000 for YTD 2007.

Interest Expense. The Company’s interest expense was $8,251,000 for YTD 2008, compared to $5,700,000 for YTD 2007. The increase is due to a higher average level of bank debt and other financing used to support the Company’s business. The expense in YTD 2008 includes $1,431,000 of interest payable to holders of the Company’s senior subordinated convertible notes and $222,000 of convertible note issuance expense amortized and charged as interest.

Total Non-interest Expenses. The Company’s total non-interest expenses increased by 55% from $34,217,000 for YTD 2007 to $52,914,000 for YTD 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to the expansion of the business, including a substantial increase in the number of employees, the opening and acquisition of new offices in Hong Kong, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay and higher variable compensation due to improved performance. The increase was also due in part to the establishment of a bad debt provision of $1,191,000 during Q2 2008, arising from the failure of a customer to meet its obligations under a contract with the Company. The total amount payable by the customer was $2,382, 000. In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in recovering any of the amount owed, the Company will incur an additional charge for any balance owed.

Compensation and Benefits. The Company’s compensation and benefit expense increased 54% from $20,863,000 for YTD 2007 to $32,033,000 for YTD 2008. The increase was primarily a consequence of higher staff levels and improved performance, leading to increased variable compensation. The Company employed an average of 112 people in YTD 2007 and an average of 182 people in YTD 2008, an increase of 63%.

Clearing and Related Expenses. Clearing and related expenses increased by 44% from $8,091,000 for YTD 2007 to $11,690,000 for YTD 2008. The total ADR conversion fees were $2,215,000 and $1,642,000 for YTD 2008 and YTD 2007, respectively. The increase in clearing and related expenses was primarily due to the increase in activity in the equity market-making business.

Other Non-Interest Expenses. Other non-interest expenses increased 75% from $5,263,000 in YTD 2007 to $9,191,000 in YTD 2008. The increase for YTD 2008 was due in part to the establishment of a bad debt provision of $1,191,000 arising from the failure of a customer to meet its obligations under a contract with the Company. The total amount payable by the customer was $2,382,000. The Company has taken legal action to recover the amount owed. In the event that this is unsuccessful, the Company will incur an additional charge for any balance owed. The remaining increase in non-interest expenses primarily relates to the general expansion of the Company’s business, in both activity and geographically.

Tax Expense. The Company’s effective income tax rate applied on a GAAP basis was approximately 39% for YTD 2008 and 36% for YTD 2007. The rate applied to the pro forma commodities mark-to-market adjustments is 37.5%, which is the effective rate for the Company’s subsidiary, INTL Commodities, Inc.

Minority Interest. The minority interest in the consolidated net income of the Company was $1,493,000 in YTD 2008 compared with $417,000 in YTD 2007. The minority interest primarily represents the interests of the Company’s joint venture partners in INTL Consilium and INTL Commodities DMCC. During the quarter the Company invested an additional $5 million in the INTL Consilium Convertible Arbitrage Fund (‘the ICCAF fund’), increasing its interest in the ICCAF fund to 69%. Under the provisions of FIN 46

(R) the Company was required to consolidate the ICCAF fund as a variable interest entity in Q3 2008. Accordingly, the minority interest shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations also includes the minority interests in the ICCAF fund.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

The Company continuously reviews its overall capital needs to ensure that its capital base, both stockholders’ equity and debt, can appropriately support the anticipated capital needs of its operating subsidiaries.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had total equity capital of approximately $64.5 million, convertible subordinated notes of approximately $24.9 million, and bank loans of approximately $123.0 million.

A substantial portion of the Company’s assets are liquid. The majority of the assets consist of financial instruments, which fluctuate depending on the level of customer business. At June 30, 2008, approximately 82% of the Company’s assets consisted of cash, cash equivalents, receivables from brokers, dealers, clearing organization and customers, marketable financial instruments, and investments in managed funds. All assets are financed by the Company’s equity capital, subordinated convertible notes, bank loans, short-term borrowings from financial instruments sold, not yet purchased, metals leases and other payables.

The Company’s assets and liabilities may vary significantly from period to period due to changing customer requirements, and economic and market conditions, as well as the growth of the Company. The Company’s total assets at June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, were $511,649,000 and $361,207,000, respectively. The Company’s operating activities generate or utilize cash as a result of net income or loss earned or incurred during each period and fluctuations in its assets and liabilities. The most significant fluctuations arise from changes in the level of customer activity, commodities prices and changes in the balances of financial instruments and commodities inventory.

Approximately $31 million of exchangeable foreign ordinary equities and ADR’s are included within financial instruments owned and financial instruments sold, not yet purchased, respectively, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008 the Company had established bank facilities under which the Company could borrow up to a maximum of $185 million, subject to certain conditions. At June 30, 2008, the total outstanding under all of these facilities was $123.0 million.

The Company’s largest bank facility is a one-year, renewable, revolving syndicated committed loan facility under which the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, INTL Commodities, is entitled to borrow up to $125 million, subject to certain conditions. There are six commercial banks that are the underlying lenders within the syndicate group. The loan proceeds are used to finance the activities of INTL Commodities and are secured by its inventory and receivables. This facility is scheduled to expire on June 27, 2009. The bank facilities at June 30, 2008 included a facility of $15 million in the Company’s Dubai joint venture, INTL Commodities DMCC.

The Company has two other credit facilities with a commercial bank which were renewed in July 2008 for increased amounts and a committed period ending on December 31, 2009. The first permits borrowings of up to $25 million at a rate of 2.25% over LIBOR. The second permits borrowings of up to $35 million at a rate of 2.40% over LIBOR.

The Company’s interest expense on all its bank facilities is at variable rates. During the quarter, the Company entered into two interest rate swap arrangements, one for $50 million at a fixed rate of 3.57% and the second also for $50 million, at a fixed rate of 3.75%. Each is for three years.

INTL Trading, the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary, is subject to the net capital requirements of the SEC and FINRA relating to liquidity and net capital levels. At June 30, 2008, INTL Trading had regulatory net capital of $1.5 million, which was approximately $500,000 in excess of its minimum net capital requirement.

The Company’s ability to receive distributions from INTL Trading is restricted by regulations of the SEC and FINRA. The Company’s right to receive distributions from its subsidiaries is also subject to the rights of the subsidiaries’ creditors, including customers of INTL Trading. INTL Trading paid dividends to the Company of $2,197,000 and $4,692,000 during Q3 2008 and YTD 2008, respectively.

In September 2006 the Company completed a private placement of $27 million of 7.625% subordinated convertible notes (‘the Notes’), of which $25 million remain outstanding and unconverted. The Notes mature in September 2011. They are convertible at any time at the option of the holders at $25.47 per share. The Notes contain customary anti-dilutive provisions. At the current conversion price, conversion would result in the issuance of 981,547 new shares of common stock. Effective March 22, 2008, the Company may require conversion at any time if the dollar volume-weighted average share price exceeds 150% of the conversion price (or $38.21) for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days. Holders may redeem their Notes at par if the interest coverage ratio set forth in the Notes is less than 2.75 for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2009. The Company may redeem the Notes at 110% of par on March 11, 2010.

The Company entered into an agreement on April 30, 2007 to acquire the Gainvest group of companies (“INTL Gainvest”) in South America. Pursuant to this acquisition, the Company made a payment of $1,425,000 to the sellers on June 1, 2008, equal to 25% of the aggregate revenues of INTL Gainvest earned for the year ended April 30, 2008, which has been recorded as additional goodwill. The Company is obligated to make a further payment on June 1, 2009 equal to 25% of the aggregate revenues of INTL Gainvest earned during the year ended April 30, 2009. The revenues on which the 25% is calculated are subject to a minimum threshold of $5.5 million and a maximum ceiling of $11 million for the year ended April 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2008, the aggregate revenues of INTL Gainvest since May 1, 2008 had not exceeded the minimum threshold of $5.5 million for the year ended April 30, 2009.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company that are regulated in foreign jurisdictions are subject to minimum capital requirements. INTL Capital is regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, in the United Arab Emirates, and is subject to a minimum capital requirement which at June 30, 2008, was approximately $500,000. The Company has invested $3.8 million in and made a subordinated loan of $1 million to INTL Global Currencies (Asia) in order to meet the minimum capital requirements imposed by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission.

On August 1, 2008, the Company notified the employees of its Hong Kong subsidiary, INTL Global Currencies (Asia) Ltd., of its intention to discontinue its margin foreign exchange trading operations. The Company incurred losses of $435,000 and $1,370,000 in this subsidiary during the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively and incurred losses of $91,000 during the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008 the subsidiary’s net assets, excluding cash and intercompany balances, were $344,000. The Company is currently exploring either the closure or sale of INTL Global Currencies (Asia) Ltd.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased from approximately $53.7 million at September 30, 2007 to approximately $66.7 million at June 30, 2008, a net increase of approximately $13 million. Net cash of $43.2 million was used in operating activities and net cash of $40 million was provided by financing activities, of which approximately $38 million was from banks and approximately $2 million from the exercise of stock options and tax benefits on stock options exercised. $16.1 million was provided by investing activities, due primarily to the consolidation of the ICCAF Fund for Q3, 2008.

The Company is continuously evaluating opportunities to expand its business. Expansion of the Company’s activities will require funding and will have an effect on liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in the Company’s 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, those described below may, in certain instances, involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. These critical accounting policies may require estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Due to their nature, estimates involve judgment based upon available information. Actual results or amounts could differ from estimates and the difference could have a material impact on the financial statements. Therefore, understanding these policies is important in understanding the reported results of operations and the financial position of the Company.

Valuation of Financial Instruments and Foreign Currencies. Substantially all financial instruments are reflected in the financial statements at fair value or amounts that approximate fair value. These financial instruments include: cash, cash equivalents, and financial instruments purchased under agreements to resell; deposits with clearing organizations; financial instruments owned; and financial instruments sold but not yet purchased. Unrealized gains and losses related to these financial instruments are reflected in net earnings. Where available, the Company uses prices from independent sources such as listed market prices, or broker or dealer price quotations. Fair values for certain derivative contracts are derived from pricing models that consider current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments or commodities, as well as time value and yield curve or volatility factors underlying the positions. In some cases, even where the value of a financial instrument is derived from an independent market price or broker or dealer quote, certain assumptions may be required to determine the fair value. However, these assumptions may be incorrect and the actual value realized upon disposition could be different from the current carrying value. The value of foreign currencies, including foreign currencies sold, not yet purchased, are converted into their U.S. dollar equivalents at the foreign exchange rates in effect at the close of business at the end of the accounting period. For foreign currency transactions completed during each reporting period, the foreign exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction is used.

The application of the valuation process for financial instruments and foreign currencies is critical because these items represent a significant portion of the Company’s total assets. The accuracy of the valuation process allows the Company to report accurate financial information. Valuations for substantially all of the financial instruments held by the Company are available from independent publishers of market information. The valuation process may involve estimates and judgments in the case of certain financial instruments. Given the wide availability of pricing information, the high degree of liquidity of the majority of the Company’s assets, and the relatively short periods for which they are typically held in inventory, there is insignificant sensitivity to changes in estimates and insignificant risk of changes in estimates having a material effect on the Company. The basis for estimating the valuation of any financial instruments has not undergone any change.

Revenue Recognition. The revenues of the Company are derived principally from realized and unrealized trading income in securities, derivative instruments, commodities and foreign currencies purchased or sold for the Company’s account. Realized and unrealized trading income is recorded on a trade date basis. Securities owned and securities sold, not yet purchased and foreign currencies sold, not yet purchased, are stated at market value with related changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected in net dealer inventory and investment gains. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Revenue on commodities that are purchased for physical delivery to customers and that are not readily convertible into cash is recognized at the point in time when the commodity has been shipped, title and risk of loss has been transferred to the customer, and the following conditions have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

The critical aspect of revenue recognition for the Company is recording all known transactions as of the trade date of each transaction for the financial period. The Company has developed systems for each of its businesses to capture all known transactions. Recording all known transactions involves reviewing trades that occur after the financial period that relate to the financial period. The accuracy of capturing this information is dependent upon the completeness and accuracy of data capture of the operations systems and the Company’s clearing firm.

Physical Commodities Inventory. Physical commodities inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value, determined using the specific identification weighted average price method. The Company separately discloses the value of commodities in process, which include commodities in the process of being recycled, and finished commodities. The Company generally seeks to mitigate the price risk associated with physical commodities held in inventory through the use of derivatives. This price risk mitigation does not generally qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP. Any unrealized gains in physical commodities inventory are not recognized under GAAP, but unrealized gains and losses in related derivative positions are recognized under GAAP. As a result, the Company’s reported commodities trading earnings are subject to volatility.

Effects of Inflation

Because the Company’s assets are, to a large extent, liquid in nature, they are not significantly affected by inflation. Increases in the Company’s expenses, such as compensation and benefits, clearing and related expenses, occupancy and equipment rental, due to inflation, may not be readily recoverable from increasing the prices of services offered by the Company. In addition, to the extent that inflation results in rising interest rates or has other adverse effects on the financial markets and on the value of the financial instruments held in inventory, it may adversely affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

See also Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, ‘Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk’.

The Company conducts its market-making and trading activities predominantly as a principal, which subjects its capital to significant risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, absolute and relative price movements, price volatility and changes in liquidity, over which the Company has virtually no control. The Company’s exposure to market risk varies in accordance with the volume of client-driven market-making transactions, the size of the proprietary positions and the volatility of the financial instruments traded.

The Company seeks to mitigate exposure to market risk by utilizing a variety of qualitative and quantitative techniques:

•

Diversification of business activities and instruments

•

Limitations on positions

•

Allocation of capital and limits based on estimated weighted risks

•

Daily monitoring of positions and mark-to-market profitability

The Company utilizes derivative products in a trading capacity as a dealer, to satisfy client needs and mitigate risk. The Company manages risks from both derivatives and non-derivative cash instruments on a consolidated basis. The risks of derivatives should not be viewed in isolation, but in aggregate with the Company’s other trading activities.

Management believes that the volatility of earnings is a key indicator of the effectiveness of its risk management techniques. The graph below summarizes volatility of the Company’s daily revenue, determined on a marked-to-market basis, during the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

In the Company’s securities market-making and trading activities, the Company maintains inventories of equity and debt securities. In the Company’s commodities market-making and trading activities, the Company’s positions include physical inventories, forwards, futures and options. The Company’s commodity trading activities are managed as one consolidated book for each commodity encompassing both cash positions and derivative instruments. The Company monitors the aggregate position for each commodity in equivalent physical ounces or metric tons. The table below illustrates, for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s greatest gross, average gross, greatest net long, greatest net short and average net day-end positions by business segment.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

In connection with the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.

A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. As a result, there can be no assurance that a control system will succeed in preventing all possible instances of error and fraud. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the conclusions of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are made at the “reasonable assurance” level.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
