INTERNATIONAL ASSETS HOLDING CORPORATION REPORTS

2010 FISCAL FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

New York, NY – February 16, 2010 – International Assets Holding Corporation (the ‘Company’; NASDAQ: IAAC) today announced its fiscal 2010 first quarter financial results. Certain financial metrics discussed in this press release are non-GAAP, reflecting marked-to-market differences in the Company’s Commodity & Risk Management Services segment. A reconciliation of those metrics to GAAP equivalents is provided in the table below, and further discussion of the use of non-GAAP metrics is provided in the Company’s Form 10-Q, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Sean O’Connor, CEO of International Assets, stated, “Market conditions remained challenging during the quarter and are likely to remain so during the short term. Despite these challenges, we are aggressively taking advantage of the current environment, our strong liquidity position and our international footprint to expand the depth and breadth of our franchise to drive returns in the longer term.”

(a) Comparison not meaningful.
(b) Adjusted operating revenue is a non-GAAP measure that represents operating revenues adjusted by marked-to-market differences in the Company’s Commodity & Risk Management Services segment, as shown in the table. The table above reflects all reconciling items between the GAAP operating revenues and non-GAAP adjusted operating revenues. For a full discussion of management’s reasons for disclosing these adjustments, see ‘Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’ in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
(c) Adjusted, net income attributable to IAHC is a non-GAAP measure that represents net income adjusted by pro forma, after-tax marked-to-market differences in the Company’s Commodity & Risk Management Services segment and the extraordinary loss related to the decrease in net deferred tax assets related to the FCStone merger. The table above reflects all reconciling items between the GAAP net income (loss) attributable to IAHC and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to IAHC.
(d) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The table above shows a calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

For comparative purposes, unaudited pro forma non-GAAP financial information derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of International Assets Holding Corporation and FCStone is being presented in International Assets’ 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, which is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2010.
