Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Goldcrown Asset Management Limited issued funds from its working capital in the amount of $968,750.10 USD. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction (a) Goldcrown Asset Management Limited purchased and received the Series A Preferred shares through an assignment by John Radziwill, a director of Goldcrown. Mr. Radziwill signed a Share Subscription Agreement through a private placement with International Assets Holding Corporation to purchase shares of Series A Preferred stock, which are non-voting and non-convertible. The transaction acquiring these shares was closed on December 6, 2002. As a result of the investment Mr. Radziwill is now a member of the Board of Directors of International Assets Holding Corporation. 4 (b) N/A (c) Through the Agreement signed by Mr. Radziwill and the further assignment of the rights to Goldcrown Asset Management Limited, and upon subsequent approval of a conversion provision in the Agreement by shareholders on February 28, 2003, the Series A Preferred stock acquired from the issuer would result in Goldcrown Asset Management Limited's direct ownership and control of 12.5% of the issuer's common stock. (d) N/A (e) N/A (f) N/A (g) N/A (h) N/A (i) N/A (j) N/A Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer (a) Goldcrown Asset Management Limited currently owns directly and controls 569,853 shares representing 26.1% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred. Pursuant to the transaction which closed December 6, 2002 and the terms of the Share Subscription Agreement, the shareholders of the corporation will be asked to approve a provision in the Agreement which provides for the conversion of the Series A Preferred shares into common stock. The conversion price would equal the original purchase price of $1.70 per share. Should the shareholders approve this provision the conversion would be automatic and immediate. The Annual Meeting of the shareholders is scheduled for February 28, 2003; therefore, it is possible that these preferred shares may be convertible into common shares within 60 days. Upon approval and conversion, Goldcrown would own directly and control 12.5% of the assumed number of post-conversion outstanding shares of common stock. (b) Following the conversion into common stock, Goldcrown, through its directors, would have the sole power to vote or to dispose of 569,853 shares of common stock. (c) As described in Item 4 (a) above Mr. John Radziwill and the issuer closed a transaction on December 6, 2002, in which Mr. Radziwill purchased 569,853 shares of Series A Preferred stock for a price of $1.70. As part of the same transaction Goldcrown Asset Management acquired the 569,853 shares through an assignment from Mr. Radziwill. These shares of Preferred stock are convertible into common shares only upon shareholder approval. 5 (d) No other persons other than those identified in this filing have the right to receive or direct the receipt of dividends or the proceeds for the sale of these securities.
