INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF

GLOBAL CURRENCIES LIMITED

 

We have audited the balance sheets of Global Currencies Limited (“the Company”) as at 31 December 2003 and 31 December 2002 and the related consolidated profit and loss accounts and cash flow statements for each of the two years in the period ended 31 December 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United Kingdom and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall annual accounts presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in all material respect, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2003 and 31 December 2002 and the results of its operations, changes in its shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended 31 December 2003, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United Kingdom. In addition they present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2003 and 31 December 2002 and the results of its operations for each of the two years in the period ended 31 December 2003.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For the years ended 31 December 2003 and 2002

 

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

 

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Global Currencies Limited and all of its subsidiary undertakings for the year. They are consolidated using the acquisition method. Their results are incorporated from the date that control passes. All financial statements are made up to 31 December 2003.

 

No profit and loss account is presented for Global Currencies Limited as provided by Section 230(3) of the Companies Act 1985.

 

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write each asset down to its estimated residual value evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:-

 

Leasehold improvements

  over the life of the lease

Computer equipment

  33% straight line

Furniture and fittings

  10% straight line

Office equipment

  10% straight line

 

GOODWILL

 

Goodwill is amortised over 15 years as, in the opinion of the directors, this represents the period over which it is effective.

 

DEFERRED TAXATION

 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the company’s taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements.

 

Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.

 

TURNOVER

 

Turnover represents gross value of each individual transaction whatever the currency used.

 

FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS

 

Fixed assets investments are stated at cost less any provision for diminution in value.

 

STOCK

 

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

 

The current year and comparative figures are denominated in United States dollars. The exchange rates used at 31 December 2002 and 31 December 2003 are £1 to US$1.6091 and £1 to US$1.7821 respectively. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of transaction. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

 

PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS

 

The costs of providing pensions for employees are charged in the profit and loss account over the average working life of employees.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For the years ended 31 December 2003 and 2002

 

LEASES

 

Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership (“finance leases”), the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable during the lease term. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown as obligations to the lessor.

 

Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements, and the interest is charged to the profit and loss account in proportion to the remaining balance outstanding.

 

All other leases are “operating leases” and the annual rentals are charged to profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (UNAUDITED)

For the quarter ended 31 March 2004

 

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

 

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Global Currencies Limited and all of its subsidiary undertakings for the year. They are consolidated using the acquisition method. Their results are incorporated from the date that control passes. All financial statements are made up to 31 March 2004.

 

No profit and loss account is presented for Global Currencies Limited as provided by Section 230(3) of the Companies Act 1985.

 

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write each asset down to its estimated residual value evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:-

 

Leasehold improvements

 

over the life of the lease

Computer equipment

 

33% straight line

Furniture and fittings

 

10% straight line

Office equipment

 

10% straight line

 

GOODWILL

 

Goodwill is amortised over 15 years as, in the opinion of the directors, this represents the period over which it is effective.

 

DEFERRED TAXATION

 

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the company’s taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements.

 

Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.

 

TURNOVER

 

Turnover represents gross value of each individual transaction whatever the currency used.

 

FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS

 

Fixed assets investments are stated at cost less any provision for diminution in value.

 

STOCK

 

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCIES

 

The current year and comparative figures are denominated in United States dollars. The exchange rates used at 31 March 2004 are £1 to US $1.84. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of transaction. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

 

PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS

 

The costs of providing pensions for employees are charged in the profit and loss account over the average working life of employees.

LEASES

 

Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership (“finance leases”), the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalized is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable during the lease term. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown as obligations to the lessor.

 

Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements, and the interest is charged to the profit and loss account in proportion to the remaining balance outstanding.

 

All other leases are “operating leases” and the annual rentals are charged to profit and loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Basis for Pro Forma Financial Statements:

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations for future periods or the results of operations or financial position that actually would have been realized had IAHC and the foreign exchange business of Global been a combined company during the specified periods. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements, including the related notes, are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of IAHC, included in IAHC’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed December 29, 2003, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, as well as the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Global included in Item 9.01(a) of this filing. The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements give effect to IAHC’s acquisition of the foreign exchange business of Global using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma combined condensed financial statements are based on the respective historical audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes of IAHC and the foreign exchange business of Global.

 

The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The pro forma financial data do not necessarily reflect the results of operations or the financial position of IAHC that would have resulted had the acquisition been consummated as of the date or for the period indicated, and the pro forma financial data exclude the effects of certain purchase adjustments related to the acquisition that will be reflected in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The pro forma adjustments are based on management’s preliminary assumptions regarding purchase accounting. The actual adjustments may differ materially from those presented in these pro forma financial statements. A change in the pro forma adjustments would result in a reallocation of the purchase price affecting the value assigned to the long-term tangible and intangible assets or, in some circumstances, resulting in a charge to the statement of operations. The effect of these changes on the statement of operations will depend on the nature and amounts of the assets and liabilities adjusted. See notes to the pro forma combined condensed financial statements.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2003 (labeled “Fiscal Year End”) assumes that the acquisition of the foreign exchange business of Global took place on September 30, 2003. It combines IAHC’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2003 with Global’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, as adjusted to reflect the elimination of assets and liabilities of Global not acquired by IAHC and the consummation of the acquisition of the foreign exchange business of Global. In order to finance the acquisition of the foreign exchange business of Global, IAHC utilized the proceeds received by IAHC from its

issuance of $12,000,000 of subordinated convertible notes in March 2004. The pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2003 assumes the issuance of these notes as of September 30, 2003.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 assumes that the acquisition of the foreign exchange business of Global took place on December 31, 2003. It combines IAHC’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 with Global’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2004, as adjusted to reflect the elimination of the assets and liabilities of Global not acquired by IAHC and the consummation of the acquisition of the foreign exchange business of Global. In order to finance the acquisition of the foreign exchange business of Global, IAHC utilized the proceeds received by IAHC from its issuance of $12,000,000 of subordinated convertible notes in March 2004. The pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2003 assumes the issuance of these notes as of December 31, 2003.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations assumes the acquisition took place on October 1, 2002 (the first day of IAHC’s fiscal year), and combines IAHC’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2003 and the three months ended December 31, 2003 with Global’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the three months ended March 31, 2004, respectively, as adjusted to reflect the elimination of the portion of Global’s business not acquired by IAHC and the consummation of the acquisition as of October 1, 2003

 

Description of Acquisition of the Foreign Exchange Business of Global:

 

On July 9, 2004, IAHC completed the acquisition of the foreign exchange business (the “FX Business”) of Global Currencies Limited (“Global”), pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement dated as of June 25, 2004 by and among IAHC, Global, and the shareholders of Global Currencies (Holdings) Limited. The acquisition was structured as follows:

 

On or about June 23, 2004, Global formed two new U.K. companies – Global Currencies (Holdings) Limited (“GCH”) and Global Currencies (FX) Limited (“GCFX”). GCH was formed as a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of Global, and GCFX was formed as a wholly-owned, direct subsidiary of GCH. On or about June 23, 2004, Global contributed certain assets related to the FX Business to GCFX, including all pending contracts related to the FX Business. Global thereafter operated the FX Business through GCFX. On or about June 23, 2004, Global distributed all of the shares of GCH to its existing shareholders (the “Sellers”).

 

On July 9, 2004, IAHC purchased all of the shares of GCH from the Sellers. At the closing, IAHC paid the Sellers $1.0 million in cash and issued them 150,000 shares of IAHC’s common stock. These shares had a value of approximately $1,472,000 (based on IAHC’s closing share price of $9.81 per share on July 9, 2004). At the closing, IAHC also paid the Sellers approximately $3.5 million, which amount represented the net amount of cash and liquid assets held by GCH and GCFX as of July 8, 2004.

 

IAHC is obligated to make certain earn-out payments to the Sellers. In particular, IAHC is obligated to pay the Sellers an amount equal to 20% of the gross foreign exchange trading

Table of Contents

profits generated by IAHC during the 30 months ending on December 31, 2006 (up to a maximum of $4.0 million). Additionally, IAHC is obligated to pay the Sellers 10% of the gross foreign exchange trading profits in excess of $10.0 million per year for the 12 months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006, and 10% of such profits in excess of $5.0 million for the 6 months ended December 31, 2006.

 

IAHC funded the acquisition from its existing working capital. The incremental working capital was previously generated from the issuance by IAHC of $12,000,000 of convertible subordinated notes in March 2004.

 

On July 13, 2004 Global Currencies (Holdings) Limited (“GCH”) changed its name to INTL Holdings (U.K.) Limited (“IHL”) and Global Currencies (FX) Limited (“GCFX”) changed its name to INTL Global Currencies Limited (“IGC”).

 

Additional Information:

 

The foreign exchange business of Global acquired by IAHC represented substantially all of Global’s assets, turnover, cost of sales, gross profits and income before taxes.

 

The pro forma balance sheets reflect that the assets of Global related to its foreign exchange business represented 87% and 82% of Global’s total assets as of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, respectfully.

 

The pro forma statement of operations reflects that turnover, cost of sales and gross profit of the foreign exchange business of Global represented 92%, 92% and 78% of Global’s total turnover, cost of sales and gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 98%, 98% and 81% of such items for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

 

The pro forma statement of operations reflects that income before taxes related to the foreign exchange business of Global represented 85% and 91% of Global’s total income before taxes for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the quarter ended March 31, 2004, respectfully.

INTERNATIONAL ASSETS HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1) Global Financial Statement Assumption:

 

The Global pro forma apportioned balance sheets report total assets related to the foreign exchange business of Global of 87% and 82% for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, respectfully.

 

The Global pro forma apportioned statement of operations reports income before taxes related to the foreign exchange business of Global of 85% and 91% for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, respectfully.

 

Other comparative measures including turnover, cost of sales and gross profit of Global were analyzed and compared to the seperated forex business of Global under the historical U.K. reporting format. Accordingly, turnover, cost of sales and gross profit were 92%, 92% and 78% for the period ended December 31, 2003 and 98%, 98% and 81% for the period ended March 31, 2004.

 

These significant proportions have been intrepreted by IAHC as meaning substancially all of the assets of Global were employed by the forex business of Global.

 

Income Statement and Balance Sheet apportionment of Global total to forex business of Global:

 

Adjustment for elimination of other business activities conducted by Global Currencies Limited not acquired by IAHC.

 

These other business activities were allocated based on internal management segmental reports and legal entity reports maintained for the various business units of Global.

 

  Certain revenues, costs, overhead and other operating gains and losses were allocated based on factors such as salaries, headcount and other subjective and objective factors. In particular:

 

  Generally employees (and their associated direct costs) could be allocated specifically to the business activities that were acquired and those that remain as most employees had specific duties throughout the period under review.

 

  Accounting and management costs were apportioned according to an estimate of time spent.

 

  Property costs were apportioned according to space occupied by the respective businesses

 

  The IT and dealing systems were apportioned fully to the acquired business, general IT costs were apportioned according to headcount

 

  Travelling and commissions paid to agents were attributable directly: no apportionment was necessary

 

  Interest charges were allocated according to working capital requirement.

 

  Bank charges were directly apportioned to the respective businesses

 

It should be noted that most of the acquired business was carried out by two separate legal entities within the Global Currencies Ltd group and those two entities were not very active in areas of business not acquired by IAHC

 

(2) Pro forma adjustment for the issuance of $12,000,000 of convertible subordinated notes on March 12, 2004.

 

The proceeds from this debt offering were subsequently utilized to finance the purchase of the forex business of Global.

On August 13, 2004, IAHC converted these subordinated notes into 2,086,923 common shares.

Included is pro forma interest expense of $840,000 and $210,000 for the year and quarter ended September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

Also included is $174,608 and $43,652 of interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance costs for the year and quarter ended September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

 

The weighted average shares outstanding are not impacted by the pro forma presence of the convertible notes due to the fact that the historical average monthly closing price of IAHC’s common stock was less than the conversion price of $5.75 per share for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2003.

 

(3) Consideration paid for acquisition of forex business of Global.

 

IAHC Shares

  150,000   $ 9.81 /per share               $ 1,471,500

The shares have been valued at the closing price of the purchase date of July 9, 2004.

      

Cash paid on closing date July 9, 2004

  4,527,398              

Net asset value acquired

  3,577,375              
           
             

Excess of cash paid above net asset value acquired

       $ 950,023       

Costs of transaction (professional fees)

       $ 70,000       
                

      

Cash paid with acquisition, exclusive of net asset value acquired

          $ 1,020,023
                       

Goodwill acquired

              $ 2,491,523

 

Additional goodwill will be generated from this transaction during the period from the closing date to December 31, 2006.

This additional goodwill will be the result of certain payments due to the prior shareholders of the Forex business of Global.

The additional goodwill will be based on the revenue generated by the forex business during the earnout period.

This additional prospective goodwill is not presented in this pro forma presentation.

 

(4) The Global shareholder equity accounts have been allocated in the adjustment collum based on the pro rata apportionment of the net asset value apportioned to the forex and other businesses of Global.

Subsequently these shareholder equity balances are eliminated by IAHC in the consolidation process.

This shareholder equity elimination is offset by a decrease in cash in recognition of the pro forma net asset value (assets and liabilities) acquired from the Global purchase, as of this pro forma period.

 

(5) 150,000 common shares issued as part of acquisition consideration. Assumed as outstanding for entire period.
