New York - August 14, 2007 - International Assets Holding Corporation (the "Company"; NASDAQ: IAAC) today announced a net loss of $3,742,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 ("Q3 2007"), compared to net income of $3,286,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 ("Q3 2006"). The loss per share for Q3 2007 was $0.46 ($0.46 diluted), compared with earnings per share for Q3 2006 of $0.43 per share ($0.39 diluted). Adjusted EBITDA increased 60% from $4,669,000 in Q3 2006 to $7,455,000 in Q3 2007.

Operating revenues were $9,488,000 for Q3 2007, 33% lower than the operating revenues of $14,111,000 for Q3 2006. A sharp increase in the price of lead during the three months ended June 30, 2007 had a significant impact on the Company's earnings as reported under generally accepted accounting principles in the US ('GAAP'). The Company's operating revenues and earnings in Q3 2007 did not reflect a $10.7 million net increase in the unrealized gain in physical commodities inventory over the quarter because this gain is not included in the calculation of earnings under GAAP.

Total non-interest expenses increased by 54% to $12,719,000 for Q3 2007 from $8,248,000 for Q3 2006. The increase was attributable to increased variable compensation, the addition of new offices and the inclusion of INTL Consilium's expenses following consolidation of its accounts with effect from August 1, 2006. Interest expense increased from $621,000 for Q3 2006 to $2,459,000 for Q3 2007, reflecting higher borrowings as well as the interest related to the subordinated convertible notes issued in September 2006.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding increased from 7,710,000 for Q3 2006 to 8,197,000 for Q3 2007. On a diluted basis, the average number of shares decreased from 8,398,000 for Q3 2006 to 8,197,000 for Q3 2007.

In comparison with the quarter ended March 31, 2007 ("Q2 2007"), operating revenues of $9,488,000 for Q3 2007 were 36% lower than operating revenues for Q2 2007 of $14,783,000. Adjusted EBITDA increased 59% from $4,698,000 in Q2 2007 to $7,455,000 in Q3 2007. Non-interest expenses increased 8% from $11,752,000 for Q2 2007 to $12,719,000 for Q3 2007. The Company recorded a net loss of $3,742,000 for Q3 2007, compared with net income of $681,000 for Q2 2007. The basic and diluted loss per share for Q3 2007 was $0.46 and the basic and diluted earnings per share for Q2 2007 was $0.08.

Sean O'Connor, CEO, stated, "With adjusted EBITDA exceeding expectations, we are pleased with the Company's performance during the quarter. There is a better spread of revenues across our businesses, reflecting increasingly good performances by the asset management and debt capital markets businesses, while the international equities, foreign exchange and commodities businesses continue to perform well. We believe that investors should evaluate the Company's performance in the light of the unrealized gains in commodities inventory, which have increased by $10.7 million during the quarter and now amount to $23 million in aggregate, as stated before any tax effect."

Scott Branch, President, stated, "The improved performance and growth of our existing businesses continue to allow us to absorb significant expansion costs in Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. The newly-established businesses in Dubai are approaching break-even and we are pleased with the development and integration of the Gainvest companies acquired during May. The $140 million syndicated loan facility announced by the Company in early May has boosted the Company's ability to finance some of our future growth. We believe that the significant diversification and expansion undertaken over the past year, with some benefits already evident in our numbers, will further strengthen the Company."

The following table shows the Company's Adjusted EBITDA, together with a reconciliation to net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA rather than EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is defined in certain of the Company's loan covenants and is EBITDA adjusted for the change over the period in the unrealized fair market gain in commodities inventory. Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2007 was 60% higher than in Q3 2006, and 58% higher in YTD 2007 than in YTD 2006.
