See Index to Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-1.
Deconsolidation of Global Hotline, Inc. (Global Hotline, Inc.)
As has been previously disclosed, the Company pledged its shares of Global Hotline as collateral for certain loans borrowed from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, by such subsidiary. On May 26, 2009, Global Hotline and IA Global received notices from H Capital demanding repayment of the loans. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, H Capital submitted documents claiming ownership of the Companys 600 shares of Global Hotline. Global Hotlines management previously provided the Companys stock certificates to H Capital in March 2009.
Although the Company has engaged Japanese corporate counsel to challenge the validity of the loans and H Capitals claims with respect to the Companys ownership of Global Hotline, these events have resulted in IA Global losing control over the day-to-day management and operations of Global Hotline. In addition, we no longer have access to the financial records of Global Hotline that are necessary to periodically report our financial position and results of operations as a consolidated subsidiary of IA Global.
For the reasons described above, on December 8, 2009, the Company deconsolidated the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company intends to account for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our stockholders equity is expected to increase by $15.2 million as of the end of the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009.
Set forth below are unaudited pro forma financial statements reflecting managements decision to deconsolidate the operations of Global Hotline. These pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of how future financial statements will appear, regardless of the outcome of the Companys dispute with H Capital. The Company will continue to pursue its civil claim against H Capital, and we are also exploring alternative structures through which we can pursue IA Globals interest in the Japanese BPO business.

This prospectus covers (i) 428,571 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants granted to A to B Capital Special Situations Fund LP in a private placement completed on May 15, 2009; (ii) 167,500 shares of common stock sold to Derek Schneideman in a private placement completed on June 10, 2009; (iii) 600,000 shares of common stock sold to AIM Capital Corporation in a private placement completed on November 4, 2009; (iv) 1,500,000 and 750,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants granted to The Sterling Fund on February 3, 2009 and May 21, 2009, respectively, in connection with consulting services; (v) 500,000 and 250,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants granted to Marc Page on February 3, 2009 and May 21, 2009, respectively, in connection with consulting services; (vi) 1,500,000 and 58,750,000 shares of common stock sold to Inter Asset Japan LBO Fund No. 1 in private placements completed on August 2, 2009 and August 17, 2009, respectively; (vii) 4,000,000 shares of common stock issuable under a Services Agreement dated June 8, 2009 with ArqueMax Ventures, LLC, a party controlled by Michael Ning; (viii) 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants granted to Michael Ning in private placements dated April 24, 2008 and May 8, 2008, respectively; (ix) 1,900,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants granted to ArqueMax Ventures LLC, on July 28, 2008 and amended on April 8, 2009; (x) 3,591,250 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of performance warrants granted on December 12, 2008 and amended April 1, 2009 and April 8, 2009 to ArqueMax Ventures, LLC for capital-raising services; and (xi) up to 45,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold to Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 29, 2009.
Information regarding our common stock is included in the section of this prospectus entitled Description of Securities.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated in Delaware on November 12, 1998. The Companys executive offices are located at 101 California Street, Suite 2450, San Francisco, CA 94111, with its operating units being located primarily in Japan and the Philippines.

The Companys Common Stock
Our common stock currently trades on the NYSE AMEX Stock Exchange (AMEX) under the symbol IAO.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Companys Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of the Companys Common Stock. The most significant risks and uncertainties known and identified by the Companys management are described below; however, they are not the only risks that we face. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects for growth could be materially adversely affected, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should acquire shares of our Common Stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. We make various statements in this section that constitute forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities Act. See Forward-Looking Statements beginning on page 12 of this prospectus.
The Company could be exposed to legal claims.
On April 30, 2009, Global Hotline entered into negotiations to refinance $12,379,000 in debt with its Japanese banks. Global Hotline is proposing to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and freeze any payments in the short term. To date, all banks but Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Bank Co Ltd. have agreed to freeze all payments through September 30, 2009. Global Hotline continues to negotiate with our Japanese banks on the repayment of the debt.
On May 26, 2009, we received notices from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, demanding repayment of certain loans provided by that entity to our Global Hotline and SG Telecom subsidiaries. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, the unlicensed Japanese lender submitted documents claiming ownership of the Companys ownership interest in 600 shares of Global Hotline.
After review by Japanese corporate counsel, we are challenging the validity of the loans and the collateral claimed by H Capital and the excessive interest rate and fees. We discovered that Global Hotline management provided stock certificates to the unlicensed lender in early March 2009 in violation of the Transfer Agreement the Company signed. We have disputed all notices received from H Capital. The parties continue to negotiate over the alleged unpaid loans.
The principal balance due H Capital as of September 30, 2009 was approximately 150,000,000 Yen, or approximately $1,601,000 at current exchange rates, plus accrued interest and fees.
We have payroll, social insurance and other tax liabilities at Global Hotline of approximately 800,000,000 Yen or approximately $9.0 million at current exchange rates as of September 30, 2009.
On April 1, 2009, the Company agreed to issue preferred stock (IAO Preferred Stock), at $1,000 per share, to ArqueMax Ventures LLC (AMV) for $317,000 in the Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement.
At AMVs sole discretion, AMV may either (1) convert some or all of its IAO Preferred Stock into 12,800,000 shares of the Companys common stock pro rata at $0.025 per share; or (2) exchange IAO Preferred Stock for 971,458 Taicom Stock owned by the Company pro rata. The conversion of IAO Preferred Stock intoTaicom Stock is automatically triggered in the case of certain events, including delisting from NYSE AMEX, bankruptcy or insolvency.
On July 17, 2009 and September 28, 2009, AMV notified us that we were in default under the June 8, 2009 Services Agreement (Agreement) and as a result did not fund the $60,000 due June 30, 2009, July 15, 2009 and July 31, 2009. However, AMV was late in funding as required by the Agreement. On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed to issue 4,000,000 shares based on the $120,000 in funded under this Agreement.
On November 16, 2009, but effective August 4, 2009, AMV claimed ownership of our Taicom shares. This is expected in a loss on investment of approximately $2,861,000. The parties continue to negotiate over the agreements.
We will need additional financing to support our ongoing operations.
Each entity within our business will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue our current operations, service our debt repayments and acquire businesses. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure funding, or that if such funding is available, the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, we may need to restructure our operations, divest all or a portion of our business or file for bankruptcy by Global Hotline and/or IA Global.
Our recent efforts to generate additional liquidity, including through sales of our common stock, are described in more detail in the financial statement notes set forth in this report.
If we raise additional capital through borrowing or other debt financing, we will incur substantial interest expense. Sales of additional equity securities will dilute on a pro rata basis the percentage ownership of all holders of common stock. When we raise more equity capital in the future, it will result in substantial dilution to our current stockholders.
Our level of indebtedness and the terms of our financing arrangements may adversely affect our results of operations.
On April 30, 2009, Global Hotline entered into negotiations to refinance $12,379,000 in debt with its Japanese banks. Global Hotline is proposing to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and freeze any payments in the short term. To date, all banks but Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Bank Co Ltd. have agreed to freeze all payments through September 30, 2009. Global Hotline continues to negotiate with our Japanese banks on the repayment of the debt.
On May 26, 2009, we received notices from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, demanding repayment of certain loans provided by that entity to our Global Hotline and SG Telecom subsidiaries. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, the unlicensed Japanese lender submitted documents claiming ownership of the Companys ownership interest in 600 shares of Global Hotline.
After review by Japanese corporate counsel, we are challenging the validity of the loans and the collateral claimed by H Capital and the excessive interest rate and fees. We discovered that Global Hotline management provided stock certificates to the unlicensed lender in early March 2009 in violation of the Transfer Agreement the Company signed. We have disputed all notices received from H Capital. The parties continue to negotiate over the alleged unpaid loans.
The principal balance due H Capital as of September 30, 2009 was approximately 150,000,000 Yen, or approximately $1,601,000 at current exchange rates, plus accrued interest and fees.
Our level of indebtedness and the terms of our financing arrangements could result in or contribute to:
|
|
a bankruptcy filing by Global Hotline and/ or IA Global; |
|
|
a default under the loan agreements; |
|
|
a collateral call by a lender, including the loss of our Global Hotline subsidiary; |
|
|
lawsuits with lenders; |
|
|
our inability to obtain additional financing to support capital expansion plans and for working capital and other purposes on acceptable terms or at all; |
|
|
a diversion of substantial cash flow from our operations and expansion plans in order to service our debt obligations; and/or |
|
|
a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors and competitors that have better access to capital resources. |
Our ability to make scheduled payments on our debt and other fixed obligations will depend on our future operating performance and cash flows, which in turn will depend on prevailing economic and political conditions and financial, competitive, regulatory, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Our ability to renegotiate the terms of our loans will depend on our negotiations with our Japanese banks and H Capital.
We are principally dependent upon our operating cash flows to fund our operations and to make scheduled payments on debt and other fixed obligations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations to pay our debt and other fixed obligations as they become due, and if we fail to do so our business could be harmed. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing or renegotiate the terms of our loans, we may need to restructure our operations, divest all or a portion of our business, provide the Global Hotline business in a collateral call or file for bankruptcy.
See also We will need additional financing to support our operations, above.
We are not in compliance with certain requirements for continued listing on AMEX.
Pursuant to AMEX listing rules, our common stock could be delisted from AMEX if we do not meet certain standards regarding our timely filing of our SEC reports, financial condition, operating results and share price, including, among other factors, maintaining adequate stockholders equity and market capitalization and minimizing losses from continuing operations over multiple years.
The Company received a Deficiency Letter from AMEX, dated July 10, 2009. In this letter, AMEX staff determined that the Companys securities have been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time and, pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the AMEX Company Guide (the Company Guide), the Companys continued listing is predicated on it effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock by January 11, 2010. The Company is requesting Shareholder Approval at its 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for a reverse stock split in accordance with the Deficiency Letter.
The Company was previously notified by Staff that AMEX deemed it appropriate for the Company to effect a reverse stock split to address its low selling price.
The Company also received a Deficiency Letter from AMEX, dated September 25, 2009. In this letter, AMEX staff indicated that the Company is not in compliance with certain additional continued listing standards set forth in Part 10 of the Company Guide. Specifically, the Company is not in compliance with (i) Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide, since its total shareholders equity is less than $2 million and the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and net losses in two out of the three most recent fiscal years; (ii) Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide, since its total shareholders equity is less than $4 million and the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and net losses in three out of the four most recent fiscal years; (iii) Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, since its total shareholders equity is less than $6 million and the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and net losses in the five most recent fiscal years; and (iv) Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide, since the Company sustained losses so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources or its financial condition has become so impaired that is appears questionable, in the opinion of AMEX, that the Company will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.
In order to maintain its listing on AMEX, the Company submitted a plan on October 26, 2009 and November 6, 2009 that addresses how it will regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide by March 25, 2010 and Section 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide by March 25, 2011. The Company will be subject to periodic review by AMEX staff during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from AMEX.
The Company received a Deficiency Letter from the NYSE AMEX Stock Exchange dated November 23, 2009. In this letter, Staff has now determined that the Company has not filed its Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The timely filing of this report is a condition of the Companys continuing listing on the Exchange, as required by Sections 134 and 1101 of the Exchanges Company Guide. In addition, the Companys failure to file this report is a material violation of its listing agreement with the Exchange. Pursuant to 1003(d) of the Company Guide, the Exchange is authorized to suspend, and unless prompt corrective action is taken, remove the Companys security from the Exchange.
The Company is required to submit a plan to the Exchange on December 7, 2009 and which brings the Company in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Exchanges Company Guide by February 22, 2010.
If our securities are delisted from AMEX, we believe they will be quoted again for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, which may depress demand for our shares and limit market liquidity due to the reluctance or inability of certain investors to buy stocks on the OTC Bulletin Board. Consequently, an investor may find it more difficult to trade our securities, which may adversely affect the ability to resell securities purchased from the selling stockholders.
We are in default under our June 8, 2009 Services Agreement with ArqueMax Ventures, LLC
On April 1, 2009, the Company agreed to issue preferred stock (IAO Preferred Stock), at $1,000 per share, to ArqueMax Ventures LLC (AMV) for $317,000 in the Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement.
At AMVs sole discretion, AMV may either (1) convert some or all of its IAO Preferred Stock into 12,800,000 shares of the Companys common stock pro rata at $0.025 per share; or (2) exchange IAO Preferred Stock for 971,458 Taicom Stock owned by the Company pro rata. The conversion of IAO Preferred Stock intoTaicom Stock is automatically triggered in the case of certain events, including delisting from NYSE AMEX, bankruptcy or insolvency.
On July 17, 2009 and September 28, 2009, AMV notified us that we were in default under the June 8, 2009 Services Agreement (Agreement) and as a result did not fund the $60,000 due June 30, 2009, July 15, 2009 and July 31, 2009. However, AMV was late in funding as required by the Agreement. On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed to issue 4,000,000 shares based on the $120,000 in funded under this Agreement.
On November 16, 2009, but effective August 4, 2009, AMV claimed ownership of our Taicom shares. This is expected in a loss on investment of approximately $2,861,000. The parties continue to negotiate over the agreements.
Declining general economic, business or industry conditions may cause reduced revenues and profitability.
Recently, concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market and a declining real estate market in the U.S. have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the global economy and expectations of slower global economic growth going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have precipitated an a recession. If the economic climate in the U.S. or abroad does not improve from its current condition or continues to deteriorate, our customers or potential customers could reduce or delay their purchases of our products, which would adversely impact our revenues and our ability to manage inventory levels, collect customer receivables and ultimately our profitability.
Volatility and disruption of financial markets could affect our access to credit. The current difficult economic market environment has caused contraction in the availability of credit in the marketplace. This could potentially reduce or eliminate sources of liquidity for the Company.
We are exposed to changes in the telecommunications and insurance industries.
Global Hotline may be affected by the following factors that would impact its ability to operate as a telemarketer of telecommunications and insurance products in Japan and the Philippines:
|
|
The businesses have payroll, social insurance and other tax liabilities of approximately 800,000,000 Yen or approximately $9.0 million at current exchange rates as of September 30, 2009; |
|
|
The businesses have a concentration of major customers; |
|
|
The businesses require cash and liquidity to operate; |
|
|
Its contracts with telecommunication and insurance companies may not be renewed; |
|
|
The cost to hire and train staff to startup new contracts and the related debt to fund this expansion; |
|
|
Increased usage of wireless technology for telephone and internet usage; |
|
|
Passing of new or changes in existing legislation; |
|
|
Impact of privacy laws; |
|
|
New competitors; |
|
|
Decreased pricing; |
|
|
Changes in the availability of employees or wages paid to employees to operate the call centers; and |
|
|
Loss of key personnel. |
Our business is dependent upon our ability to operate efficiently by maintaining tight control on cash flows. Any change in these factors could adversely affect our ability to achieve the contract rates and to operate as a telemarketer of telecommunications and insurance products in Japan. This could result in inadequate cash flow for operations and debt repayments, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and result in a bankruptcy filing by Global Hotline and/ or IA Global.
Our controlling shareholder group has substantial influence over our company.
As of December 8, 2009, IAJ LBO Fund, PBAA Fund Limited, Terra Firma, Inter Asset Japan Co Ltd (IAJ), IA Turkey and Hiroki Isobe, (collectively, the Controlling Shareholders) collectively hold approximately 48.3% of our common stock. These Controlling Shareholders have stated in a Schedule 13D that they may be deemed to constitute a group for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Hiroki Isobe controls each of our Controlling Shareholders.
IAJ could cause a change of control of our board of directors if in combination with another large shareholder elects candidates of their choice to the board at a shareholder meeting, and approve or disapprove any matter requiring stockholder approval, regardless of how our other shareholders may vote. Further, under Delaware law, IAJ could have a significant influence over our affairs, if in combination with another large shareholder, including the power to cause, delay or prevent a change in control or sale of the Company, which in turn could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
The sale of a significant number of shares of our common stock would dilute existing stockholders and might depress the trading price of our common stock.
Sales or issuances of a large number of shares of common stock (including pursuant to the equity line of credit transaction that we recently entered into with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC, which is described in more detail elsewhere in this prospectus) in the public market or the perception that sales may occur could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of December 8, 2009, there were 286,800,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Significant shares of common stock are held by our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders. As affiliates (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (Rule 144)) of the Company, our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders may only sell their shares of common stock in the public market pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock has been and is likely in the future to be volatile. Our common stock price may fluctuate in response to factors such as:
|
|
A bankruptcy filing by Global Hotline and/or IA Global, |
|
|
Announcements by us regarding liquidity, significant acquisitions, equity investments and divestitures, strategic relationships, addition or loss of significant customers and contracts, capital expenditure commitments, loan, note payable and agreement defaults, loss of our subsidiaries and impairment of assets and our AMEX listing, |
|
|
Issuance of convertible or equity securities for general or merger and acquisition purposes, |
|
|
Issuance or repayment of debt, accounts payable or convertible debt for general or merger and acquisition purposes, |
|
|
Alleged manipulation of our stock price, |
|
|
Sale of a significant number of our common stock by shareholders, |
|
|
General market and economic conditions, |
|
|
Quarterly variations in our operating results, |
|
|
Defending significant litigation, |
|
|
Investor relation activities, |
|
|
Announcements of technological innovations, |
|
|
New product introductions by us or our competitors, |
|
|
Competitive activities, |
|
|
Additions or departures of key personnel, |
|
|
Issuance of loans to customers or related or affiliated parties, and |
|
|
Foreign exchange gains and losses. |
These broad market and industry factors may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If the price or the trading volume of our common stock does not reach certain levels, we will be unable to draw down all or substantially all of our $5,000,000 equity line of credit with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC, which may force us to significantly curtail the scope of our operations or alter our business plan.
The maximum draw down amount every 11 trading days under our equity line of credit facility is the lesser of $250,000 or 15% of the total trading volume of our common stock for the 10-trading-day period prior to the draw down multipled by the volume-weighted average price of our common stock for such period. If our stock price and trading volume remain at current elvels, we will not be able to draw down all $5,000,000 available under the equity line of credit and we may be forced to curtail the scope of our operations or alter our business plan if other financing is not available to us.
We may undertake acquisitions, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures and/or divestitures that could result in financial results that are different from those the Company has historically experienced and/or expects in the future.
In the normal course of business, we engage in discussions relating to possible acquisitions, equity investments, mergers, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures. Such transactions are accompanied by a number of risks, including:
|
|
Use of significant amounts of cash, |
|
|
Potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities on potentially unfavorable terms, |
|
|
Incurrence of debt on potentially unfavorable terms as well as amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, and |
|
|
The possibility that we may pay too much cash or issue too many of our shares as the purchase price for an acquisition relative to the economic benefits that we ultimately derive from such acquisition. |
The process of integrating any acquisition may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. The areas where we may face difficulties include:
|
|
Diversion of management time, during the period of negotiation through closing and after closing, from its focus on operating the businesses to issues of integration, |
|
|
Decline in employee morale and retention issues resulting from changes in compensation, reporting relationships, future prospects or the direction of the business, |
|
|
The need to integrate each Companys accounting, management information, human resource and other administrative systems to permit effective management, and the lack of control if such integration is delayed or not implemented, |
|
|
The need to implement controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public Company that may not have been in place in private companies, prior to acquisition, |
|
|
The need to incorporate acquired technology, content or rights into our products and any expenses related to such integration, and |
|
|
The need to successfully develop any acquired in-process technology to realize any value capitalized as intangible assets. |
From time to time, we have also engaged in discussions with candidates regarding the potential acquisitions of our product lines, technologies and businesses. If a divestiture such as this does occur, we cannot be certain that our business, operating results and financial condition will not be materially and adversely affected. A successful divestiture depends on various factors, including our ability to:
|
|
Effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities and employees to any purchaser, |
|
|
Identify and separate the intellectual property to be divested from the intellectual property that we wish to retain, |
|
|
Reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business, and |
|
|
Collect the proceeds from any divestitures. |
In addition, if customers of the divested business do not receive the same level of service from the new owners, this may adversely affect our other businesses to the extent that these customers also purchase other products offered by us. All of these efforts require varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations.
If we do not realize the expected benefits or synergies of any divestiture transaction, our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and stock price could be negatively impacted.
We are dependent on key personnel.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of key management and other personnel, some of whom could be difficult to replace. We do not maintain key man life insurance covering certain of our officers. Our success will depend on the performance of our officers, our ability to retain and motivate our officers, our ability to integrate new officers into our operations and the ability of all personnel to work together effectively as a team. Our failure to retain and recruit officers and other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have limited insurance coverage.
We have limited directors and officers insurance and commercial insurance policies. Any significant insurance claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
The majority of our operations are located in Japan and the Philippines and we have equity investments that operate in Japan. We do not trade in hedging instruments or other than trading instruments and a significant change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the Japanese Yen, Philippine Peso and U.S. Dollar would have a material adverse or positive effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to competitive pressures.
We face competition from entities that provide competing call center operations, including entities that resell telephone and broadband lines and insurance products in Japan and the Philippines. Certain of our competitors may be able to devote greater resources to marketing, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to developing their services and products. We may be unable to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures may have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, as a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, we may from time to time make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions or acquisitions that could have a material adverse or positive effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each of the selling security holders named above any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the AMEX or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
|
|
privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
|
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling security holders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out its short position, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling security holders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with sales by such selling security holder. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC.

The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholder or any other person.

Private Placement with Inter Asset Japan LBO No 1 Fund
On August 2, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (Agreement 1) with Inter Asset Japan LBO No 1 Fund, an existing shareholder of the Company (the Shareholder).

The financing arrangement entered into by IA Global and Ascendiant is commonly referred to as an equity line of credit or an equity drawdown facility.
Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Ascendiant will not be obligated to purchase shares of IA Globals common stock unless and until certain conditions are met, including but not limited to (i) approval of the transaction by AMEX, and (ii) the Company files by November 13, 2009 and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) declares effective by January 27, 2010 a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the Registration Statement) registering Ascendiants resale of any shares purchased by it under the equity drawdown facility. The customary terms and conditions associated with Ascendiants registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement that was also entered into by the parties on September 29, 2009.
If and when the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, IA Global will have the right to sell and issue to Ascendiant, and Ascendiant will be obligated to purchase from IA Global, up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of the Companys common stock over a 24-month period beginning on such date (the Commitment Period). IA Global will be entitled to sell such shares from time to time during the Commitment Period by delivering a draw down notice to Ascendiant. In such draw down notices, IA Global will be required to specify the dollar amount of shares that it intends to sell to Ascendiant, which will be spread over a nine-trading-day pricing period. For each draw, IA Global will be required to deliver the shares sold to Ascendiant in three installments (following the third, sixth and ninth trading days in the pricing period, respectively). Ascendiant is entitled to liquidated damages in connection with certain delays in the delivery of its shares.
The Securities Purchase Agreement also provides for the following terms and conditions:
|
|
Purchase Price - 90% of IA Globals volume-weighted average price (VWAP). |
|
|
Threshold Price - IA Global may specify a price below which it will not sell shares during the applicable nine-trading-day pricing period. If the purchase price falls below the threshold price on any day(s) during the pricing period, such day(s) will be removed from the pricing period (and Ascendiants investment amount will be reduced by 1/9 for each such day). |
|
|
Maximum Draw - 15% of IA Globals total trading volume for the 10-trading-day period immediately preceding the applicable draw down, times the average VWAP during such period (but in no event more than $250,000). |
|
|
Minimum Draw - None. |
|
|
Minimum Time Between Draw Down Pricing Periods - Two trading days. |
|
|
Minimum Use of Facility - IA Global is obligated to sell at least $1,000,000 worth of shares of its common stock to Ascendiant during the Commitment Period. |
|
|
Commitment Fees - Upon AMEX approval, IA Global will be obligated to issue 2,371,917 shares of its common stock to Ascendiant ($125,000 worth of shares based on the Companys closing bid price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement). If and when the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, IA Global will be obligated to issue another $125,000 worth of shares of its common stock in four installments over a period of 90 days following the effectiveness date. |
|
|
Other Fees and Expenses - IA Global has agreed to pay $10,000 to Ascendiants legal counsel for the legal fees and expenses it incurred in connection with negotiating and documenting the equity line of credit. Pursuant to separate agreements, IA Global has also agreed to pay an aggregate of 3.0% in finders fees (to be paid in connection with each draw down). |
|
|
Indemnification - Ascendiant is entitled to customary indemnification from IA Global for any losses or liabilities it suffers as a result of any breach by IA Global of any provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by any stockholder of IA Global (except stockholders who are officers, directors or principal stockholders of IA Global). |
|
|
Conditions to Ascendiants Obligation to Purchase Shares - Trading in IA Globals common stock must not be suspended by the SEC or the NYSE Amex (or other applicable trading market); IA Global must not have experienced a material adverse effect; all liquidated damages and other amounts owing to Ascendiant must be paid in full; the Registration Statement must be effective with respect to Ascendiants resale of all shares purchased under the equity drawdown facility; there must be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of IA Global common stock; and the issuance must not cause Ascendiant to own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of IA Global common stock, or more than 19.9% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on September 29, 2009 to have been issued under the equity drawdown facility (without shareholder approval). |
|
|
Termination - The Securities Purchase Agreement will terminate if IA Globals common stock is not listed on one of several specified trading markets (which include the NYSE Amex, OTC Bulletin Board and Pink Sheets, among others); if IA Global files for protection from its creditors; or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC by June 29, 2010. IA Global may terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement if Ascendiant fails to fund a draw down within 10 trading days after the end of the applicable settlement period, or if the SEC provides comments on the Registration Statement requiring certain changes in the transaction structure and/or documents. |
The Securities Purchase Agreement also contains certain representations and warranties of IA Global and Ascendiant, including customary investment-related representations provided by Ascendiant, as well as acknowledgements by Ascendiant that it has reviewed certain disclosures of the Company (including the periodic reports that the Company has filed with the SEC) and that the Companys issuance of the shares has not been registered with the SEC or qualified under any state securities laws. IA Global provided customary representations regarding, among other things, its organization, capital structure, subsidiaries, disclosure reports, absence of certain legal or governmental proceedings, financial statements, tax matters, insurance matters, real property and other assets, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. IA Globals representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety (to the extent applicable) by the Companys disclosures in the reports it files with the SEC. IA Global also delivered confidential disclosure schedules qualifying certain of its representations and warranties in connection with executing and delivering the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The shares to be issued by IA Global to Ascendiant under the Securities Purchase Agreement will be issued in private placements in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements set forth in the Securities Act provided for in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder.
Summary of Recent Business Operations Year Ended March 31, 2009
We had revenues of $57.1 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $38.7 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008. We have incurred a net loss $20.2 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to a net loss of $7.1 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008.
This growth has been driven by new contracts, process improvements, infrastructure expansion, and macro economic trends such as the ongoing gains in the Japanese economy, consistent year on year growth in targeted industries, higher disposable incomes, and the increasingly rapid growth of the senior citizen demographic.
However, the year ended March 31, 2009 was impacted by losses from the near collapse of AIG and the loss of other telecoms contracts, the deferral of revenue of $2.6 million from a telecom contract over the period April 1, 2009- March 31, 2011, termination and credits totaling $2.8 million related to the cancellation of an unprofitable telecom contract, costs totaling $2.1 million related to reductions in staff, impairment of our equity investment in Australia Secured Finance Ltd. of $7.2 million, a loss on sale of securities to Taicom Securities Co Ltd of $1.7 million and a loss on sale of securities to GPlus Media Co Ltd of $1.3 million.
During 2008/9, we entered into loans of $.6 million at IA Global and $8.9 million at Global Hotline. During 2008/9, we repaid loans of $1.1 million at IA Global and $12.5 million at Global Hotline.
As of February 25, 2009, all Global Hotline assets are collateralized to H Capital. On approximately April 1, 2009, the Company pledged its ownership in Global Hotline as collateral for the loans, subject to a thirty day notice period in the case of default under the agreement.
At March 31, 2009, we had current and long-term indebtedness of $15.3 million. Global Hotline will need to repay or refinance $13.4 million by March 31, 2010, including approximately $4.4 million in September 30, 2009.
On April 30, 2009, Global Hotline entered into negotiations to refinance $12,379,000 in debt with its Japanese banks. Global Hotline is proposing to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and freeze any payments in the short term. To date, all banks but Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Bank Co Ltd. have agreed to freeze all payments through September 30, 2009. Global Hotline continues to negotiate with our Japanese banks on the repayment of the debt.
On May 26, 2009, we received notices from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, demanding repayment of certain loans provided by that entity to our Global Hotline and SG Telecom subsidiaries. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, the unlicensed Japanese lender submitted documents claiming ownership of the Companys ownership interest in 600 shares of Global Hotline.
After review by Japanese corporate counsel, we are challenging the validity of the loans and the collateral claimed by H Capital and the excessive interest rate and fees. We discovered that Global Hotline management provided stock certificates to the unlicensed lender in early March 2009 in violation of the Transfer Agreement the Company signed. We have disputed all notices received from H Capital. The parties continue to negotiate over the alleged unpaid loans.
The principal balance due H Capital as of September 30, 2009 was approximately 150,000,000 Yen, or approximately $1,601,000 at current exchange rates, plus accrued interest and fees.
Industry Overview
The Asian markets have been growing at a swift pace in recent years and this growth is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. The growth is based on a shift in economic activity from Europe and North America to the Asian markets and a growth in intra-Asian economic activity. The growth of a generally affluent middle class within most Asian countries is driving demand for an increasing spread of goods and services, particularly in the 20-35 year old age demographic. Although much attention has been given to China and India, Japan continues to be the second largest economy in the world. These and other factors are contributing to the growth of our existing investments and present us with an increasing number of quality investment opportunities.
Over the past year there has been a tremendous change in sentiment toward BPO, with the strategy that used to be thought of as a good idea that should be discussed is today one of critical and urgent importance for most large organizations. As a result, BPO growth is continuing to expand across a wide range of industries and functions, and seems unstoppable given the current economic climate.
Our principal Japanese subsidiary, Global Hotline has demonstrated growth. This growth was driven by improvements in the Japanese economy, consistent year on year growth in targeted areas of the telecommunications and insurance industries, higher disposable incomes, and the expanding senior citizen demographic.
Annual sales for the Japanese telecommunication industry were estimated at $137 billion in 2004, the most recent available information. Further growth is being fueled by increased broadband, networking, and cell phone usage. Also, recent changes in regulations affecting Japans telecommunications market has spurred strong competition between carriers. Similar to the US market, Japanese consumers can now retain usage of their existing telephone numbers while easily changing their telecommunications service supplier.
Annual sales for the Japanese insurance market were estimated at $242 billion in 2003, the most recent available information. The aging of the Japanese population and limited government sponsored long-term and national care insurance has resulted in a growing demand for all types of insurance products. Japanese consumers purchase multiple policies to cover risks such as medical, cancer, and life and renew these policies annually.
Competition
Global Hotline operates in a competitive market segment. Our competitive advantage is our ability to successfully operate multiple call centers that undertake telemarketing of telecommunications products and services, and a range of insurance products and services. Global Hotline faces competition from Hikari Tsushin, Moshi-Moshi Hotline and Prestige International. Because each of these competitors is a telemarketer like Global Hotline, there is no significant difference in price or quality of the products Global Hotline offers compared with the competition. Therefore, customer service, industry reputation and relationships are the key basis on which Global Hotline competes for business.
Global Hotline Philippines operates in a competitive market segment. Our competitive advantages are our lower cost infrastructure, our customer acquisition competencies, our superior client service culture, and our focus on niche markets such as litigation documentation processing. Secondly, the Philippines has risen to become the worlds second largest location for BPO operations, fulfilling a market need that is estimated by the Philippine Business Processing Association to expand by 20% in 2009. Global Hotline Philippines faces competition from organizations such as Convergys Corp, PeopleSupport Corp, and Accenture Corp among others. Global Hotline Philippines differentiates itself by deploying a mix model of standard BPO services with secured margin co-location services.
Employees
We had 820 full and part-time employees as of June 30, 2009.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of the prospectus.
The Company and our Business
We are a broad-based services company with a dedicated focus on growth of existing business, together with expansion through mergers and acquisitions in the Pacific Rim region. Our mission is to identify and invest in business opportunities, apply our skills and resources to nurture and enhance the performance of those businesses across key business metrics, and to deliver accelerating shareholder value.
We plan to acquire growth businesses at discounted prices in our target sectors and markets in conjunction with business partners. We expect to focus on growth opportunities with distressed businesses that require improvements in management, financial processes and liquidity to be successful. We plan to acquire or invest in growth and commodity businesses in the energy sector including oil & gas, solar, biofuels, and other energy markets. We expect to focus on sectors that would benefit from the infrastructure and business processes of IA Global. We expect to leverage our Asian presence with US based companies seeking to expand their Asian business.
Going Concern
The Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and the Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009 have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company has incurred operating losses for three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the year ended March 31, 2009, the transition period for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, as well having an accumulated deficit of approximately $63,200,000 and $59,600,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $18,396,000 ($14,763,000 relates to the current portion of long term debt) and $14,549,000 as of June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009. Furthermore, the Company has not remitted and is delinquent payroll tax withholding and expenses on a timely basis for their Japanese subsidiary Global Hotline.
The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continued development of their business outsource processing business, as well as upon obtaining additional financing to develop the these businesses, the ultimate realization of profits through future BPO business, and the success of the Companys business plan. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These consolidated unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its business.
In addition, in connection with loans payable that the Companys fully-owned subsidiary, Global Hotline, Inc., entered into, the equity shares of this subsidiary currently held by the lender of these loans as collateral, is being challenged by IA Global, Inc. If these shares should not be successfully recovered, the Companys claim of ownership in this subsidiary may be limited.
Summary of Recent Business Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
We had revenues of $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $19.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. We have incurred a net loss $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to a net profit of $.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
The decrease was due to the reduction in AIG revenues, termination of our NTT contracts and a softening of our revenues from our telecommunication contracts during the three months ended June 30, 2009, offset by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Year Ended March 31, 2009
We had revenues of $57.1 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $38.7 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008. We have incurred a net loss $20.2 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to a net loss of $7.1 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008.
This growth was driven by new contracts, process improvements, infrastructure expansion, and macro economic trends such as the ongoing gains in the Japanese economy, consistent year on year growth in targeted industries, higher disposable incomes, and the increasingly rapid growth of the senior citizen demographic.
However, the year ended March 31, 2009 was impacted by losses from the near collapse of AIG and the loss of other telecoms contracts, the deferral of revenue of $2.6 million from a telecom contract over the period April 1, 2009- March 31, 2011, termination and credits totaling $2.8 million related to the cancellation of an unprofitable telecom contract, costs totaling $2.1 million related to reductions in staff, impairment of our equity investment in Australia Secured Finance Ltd. of $7.2 million, a loss on sale of securities to Taicom Securities Co Ltd of $1.7 million and a loss on sale of securities to GPlus Media Co Ltd of $1.3 million.
During 2008/9, we entered into loans of $.6 million at IA Global and $8.9 million at Global Hotline. During 2008/9, we repaid loans of $1.1 million at IA Global and $12.5 million at Global Hotline.
As of February 25, 2009, all Global Hotline assets are collateralized to H Capital. On approximately April 1, 2009, the Company pledged its ownership in Global Hotline as collateral for the loans, subject to a thirty day notice period in the case of default under the agreement.
At March 31, 2009, we had current and long-term indebtedness of $15.3 million. Global Hotline will need to repay or refinance $13.4 million by March 31, 2010, including approximately $4.4 million in September 30, 2009.
On May 26, 2009, we received notices from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, demanding repayment of certain loans provided by that entity to our Global Hotline and SG Telecom subsidiaries. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, the unlicensed Japanese lender submitted documents claiming ownership of the Companys ownership interest in 600 shares of Global Hotline.
After review by Japanese corporate counsel, we are challenging the validity of the loans and the collateral claimed by H Capital and the excessive interest rate and fees. We discovered that Global Hotline management provided stock certificates to the unlicensed lender in early March 2009 in violation of the Transfer Agreement the Company signed. We have disputed all notices received from H Capital. The parties continue to negotiate over the alleged unpaid loans.
The principal balance due H Capital as of September 30, 2009 was approximately 150,000,000 Yen, or approximately $1,601,000 at current exchange rates, plus accrued interest and fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Three Months Ended June 30, 2009
We had cash of approximately $1.7 million, a net working capital deficit of approximately $18.4 million (due to the current portion of long term debt of $14.8 million) and total indebtedness of $15.8 million as of June 30, 2009.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, IA Global obtained loans of $2.3 million in the aggregate and we repaid loans of $2.1 million owed by Global Hotline.
As of February 25, 2009, all Global Hotline assets were pledged as collateral to H Capital. On approximately April 1, 2009, the Company pledged its ownership in Global Hotline as collateral for the loans, subject to a thirty day notice period in the case of default under the agreement.
On February 25, 2009, Global Hotline and subsidiaries pledged all accounts receivable to H Capital and provided H Capital with all bank books and corporate seals, which allows H Capital to control all cash.
Certain recent developments relating to the outstanding indebtedness of IA Global and our subsidiaries, including our ongoing negotiations with our Japanese lenders, are described in more detail in the notes to the financial statements set forth in this Form 10-Q (see Part I, Item 1 Financial Statements). The Companys recent efforts to generate additional liquidity, including through sales of its common stock, are also described in more detail in such financial statement notes.

We had cash of approximately $3.6 million, a net working capital deficit of approximately $14.5 million and debt of $15.3 million as of March 31, 2009.

As of February 25, 2009, all Global Hotline assets, including accounts receivable are collateralized to H Capital. On approximately April 1, 2009, the Company pledged its ownership in Global Hotline as collateral for the alleged loans, subject to a thirty day notice period in the case of default under the agreement.

On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, the unlicensed Japanese lender submitted documents claiming ownership of the Companys ownership interest in 600 shares of Global Hotline.

The principal balance due H Capital as of September 30, 2009 was approximately 150,000,000 Yen, or approximately $1,601,000 at current exchange rates, plus accrued interest and fees.
On August 2, 2009, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (Agreement 1) with Inter Asset Japan LBO No 1 Fund, an existing shareholder (the Shareholder). Under the terms of Agreement 1, we agreed to issue and sell to the Shareholder 1,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $60,000, or $0.04 per share. On August 17, 2009, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (Agreement 2) with Inter Asset Japan LBO No 1 Fund. Under the terms of Agreement 2, we agreed to issue and sell to the Shareholder 5,000,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000, or $0.04 per share.
Also under the terms of the Agreement 2, the Shareholder has committed to purchase, and we have agreed to issue and sell to the Shareholder, additional shares of our common stock in accordance with the following schedule:
|
|
2,500,000 shares at a purchase price of US$.04 per share, or an aggregate price of US$100,000 on or before September 4, 2009. |
|
|
1,250,000 shares at a purchase price of US$.04 per share, or an aggregate price of US$50,000 on or before September 18, 2009. |

|
50,000,000 shares at a purchase price of US$.04 per share, or an aggregate price of US$2,000,000 on or before November 10, 2009. To date, the Company has received $100,000 and now expects to receive the remaining $1,900,000 on or before December 15, 2009. Further, the Company expects that a total of $300,000 of the funds can be used for working capital and the remaining $1,700,000 can be used for investments. |
The Shareholders obligation to purchase the foregoing shares by the date specified is conditioned upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreement being accurate as of the date of such closing.

IA Global and each subsidiary manage their cash flow independently. IA Global funds its operations from loans, convertible debentures, inter-company borrowings, loans collateralized by stock, management service fees and dividends from its equity investments. Global Hotline funds its operations from bank debt and at times needs to refinance this bank debt. Global Hotline Philippines funds its operations from inter-company borrowings.
Each entity will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue our current operations, service our debt repayments and acquire businesses. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure funding, or that if such funding is available, whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us.
Each entity will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue our current operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure funding for our existing operations, or that if such funding is available, whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us.
Volatility and disruption of financial markets could affect our access to credit. The current difficult economic market environment is causing contraction in the availability of credit in the marketplace. This could potentially reduce or eliminate the sources of liquidity for the Company.
If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, we may need to restructure our operations, divest all or a portion of our business or file for bankruptcy.
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our equity securities in our initial public offering and from several private placements, loans and capital contributions, primarily from related parties. Net cash proceeds from these items have totaled approximately $20.9 million as of March 31, 2009, with approximately $8.8 million raised in the initial public offering, $8.6 million raised in private placements, $4.0 million raised in the conversion of debt and $0.7 million used for the share repurchase program. In addition, we have issued equity for non-cash items totaling $32.1 million, including $7.0 million from the ASFL equity investment, $4.1 million from the Taicom equity investment, $1.4 million each from the GPlus and Slate equity investments, $.3 and $.2 million related to the Asia Premier and Shift acquisition, respectively, $7.1 million issued for services, $3.6 million related to a beneficial conversion feature, $3.9 million from debenture conversions, and $3.1 million related to the Global Hotline acquisition. Additional funding was obtained from notes payable and long term debt of approximately $15.3 million.
Recent and Expected Losses
We have experienced net losses since inception. There can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On April 30, 2009, Global Hotline entered into negotiations to refinance $12,379,000 in debt with its Japanese banks. Global Hotline is proposing to refinance this debt on a long-term basis and freeze any payments in the short term. To date, all banks but Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Bank Co Ltd. have agreed to freeze all payments through September 30, 2009. Global Hotline continues to negotiate with our Japanese banks on the repayment of the debt.
On May 26, 2009, we received notices from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, demanding repayment of certain loans provided by that entity to our Global Hotline and SG Telecom subsidiaries. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, the unlicensed Japanese lender submitted documents claiming ownership of the Companys ownership interest in 600 shares of Global Hotline.
After review by Japanese corporate counsel, we are challenging the validity of the loans and the collateral claimed by H Capital and the excessive interest rate and fees. We discovered that Global Hotline management provided stock certificates to the unlicensed lender in early March 2009 in violation of the Transfer Agreement the Company signed. We have disputed all notices received from H Capital. The parties continue to negotiate over the alleged unpaid loans.
The principal balance due H Capital as of September 30, 2009 was approximately 150,000,000 Yen, or approximately $1,601,000 at current exchange rates, plus accrued interest and fees.
We have payroll, social insurance and other tax liabilities at Global Hotline of approximately 800,000,000 Yen or approximately $9.0 million at current exchange rates as of September 30, 2009.
On April 1, 2009, the Company agreed to issue preferred stock (IAO Preferred Stock), at $1,000 per share, to ArqueMax Ventures LLC (AMV) for $317,000 in the Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement.
At AMVs sole discretion, AMV may either (1) convert some or all of its IAO Preferred Stock into 12,800,000 shares of the Companys common stock pro rata at $0.025 per share; or (2) exchange IAO Preferred Stock for 971,458 Taicom Stock owned by the Company pro rata. The conversion of IAO Preferred Stock intoTaicom Stock is automatically triggered in the case of certain events, including delisting from NYSE AMEX, bankruptcy or insolvency.
On July 17, 2009 and September 28, 2009, AMV notified us that we were in default under the June 8, 2009 Services Agreement (Agreement) and as a result did not fund the $60,000 due June 30, 2009, July 15, 2009 and July 31, 2009. However, AMV was late in funding as required by the Agreement. On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed to issue 4,000,000 shares based on the $120,000 in funded under this Agreement.
On November 16, 2009, but effective August 4, 2009, AMV claimed ownership of our Taicom shares. This is expected in a loss on investment of approximately $2,861,000. The parties continue to negotiate over the agreements.

The committees are currently the Audit Committee, the Nominations and Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee. In accordance with the AMEX standards, the Audit, Nominations and Governance and Compensation committees are comprised solely of non-employee, independent directors.

Director Independence
In accordance with AMEX rules, the Board affirmatively determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director under AMEXs independence standards as set forth in Section 803A of the AMEX Company Guide.
Based on these standards, at its meeting held on October 30, 2009, the Board determined that each of the following non-employee Directors are independent and has no relationship with the Company, except as a director and stockholder of the Company:
|
|
Michael Garnreiter; |
|
|
Jack Henry; and |
|
|
Greg LeClaire. |
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No member of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 served as an officer, former officer, or employee of the Company or had a relationship discloseable under Related Person Transactions. Further, during this period, no executive officer of the Company served as:
|
|
A member of the Compensation Committee (or equivalent) of any other entity, one of whose executive officers served as one of our directors or was an immediate family member of a director, or served on our Compensation Committee; or |
|
|
A director of any other entity, one of whose executive officers or their immediate family member served on our Compensation Committee. |
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
The Companys executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders are required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Copies of these reports must also be furnished to the Company.
Based solely on a review of copies of reports furnished to the Company, or written representations that no reports were required, the Company believes that during fiscal year 2009 its executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders timely filed all reports required to be filed by them pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act Act, except for Derek Schneideman, who was late in filing two Form 4s; Mark Scott, who was late in filing three Form 4s; and Eric LaCara, who was late in filing one Form 4. The late filings by Messrs. Schneideman and Scott were due to initial issuances of stock grants under the Companys 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. In addition, Inter Asset Japan Co Ltd. was late in filing one Form 13-D, Taicom Securities and Michael Ning were late in filing one Form 13-D, and DJ Capital and John Margersion were each late in filing one Form 4.
Code of Conduct and Ethics
The Company has adopted conduct and ethics standards titled the Code of Conduct and Ethics (the Code of Conduct), which are available at www.iaglobalinc.com. These standards were adopted by the Board to promote transparency and integrity of the Company. The standards apply to the Board, executives and employees. Waivers of the requirements of the Code of Conduct or associated polices with respect to members of the Board or executive officers are subject to approval of the full Board.
The Companys Code of Conduct includes the following:
|
|
promotes honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest; |
|
|
promotes the full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure of the Companys financial results in accordance with applicable disclosure standards, including, where appropriate, standards of materiality; |
|
|
promotes compliance with applicable SEC, AMEX and governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
|
|
deters wrongdoing; and |
|
|
requires prompt internal reporting of breaches of, and accountability for adherence to, the Code of Conduct. |
On an annual basis, each director and executive officer is obligated to complete a questionnaire that requires disclosure of any transactions with the Company in which the director or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, have a direct or indirect material interest. Pursuant to the Code of Conduct, the Audit Committee and the Board are charged with resolving any conflict of interest involving management, the Board and employees on an ongoing basis.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
The Companys common stock is $.01 par value, 450,000,000 shares authorized and as of December 8, 2009, we had 286,753,489 issued and outstanding, net of 627,900 shares of treasury stock, held by approximately 208 shareholders of record. The number of stockholders, including beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names is approximately 1,300. Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders. As of December 8, 2009, the Company has 11,482,064 shares of common stock reserved for the issuance of warrants.
American Stock Transfer and Trust Company is the transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock.
Preferred Stock
The Companys preferred stock is $.01 par value, 5,000 shares authorized and 317 issued and outstanding as of December 8, 2009. On April 20, 2009, the Company agreed to issue 317 shares of ArqueMax Ventures, LLC Series Preferred Stock (IAO Preferred Stock) of the Company. The IAO Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, was sold at $1,000 per share, has a liquidation value of $317,000 and has no voting rights.
At AMVs sole discretion, AMV may either (1) convert some or all of its IAO Preferred Stock into 12,800,000 shares of the Companys common stock pro rata at $0.025 per share; or (2) exchange IAO Preferred Stock for 971,458 Taicom Stock owned by the Company pro rata. The conversion of IAO Preferred Stock into Taicom Stock is automatically triggered in the case of certain events, including delisting from NYSE AMEX, bankruptcy or insolvency.
The Company recorded a deemed dividend of $192,000, upon the issuance of the Preferred Stock, due to the conversion price per share being below market on the date of issuance.
On July 17, 2009 and September 28, 2009, AMV notified us that we were in default under the June 8, 2009 Services Agreement (Agreement) and as a result did not fund the $60,000 due June 30, 2009, July 15, 2009 and July 31, 2009. However, AMV was late in funding as required by the Agreement. On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed to issue 4,000,000 shares based on the $120,000 in funded under this Agreement.
On November 16, 2009, but effective August 4, 2009, AMV claimed ownership of our Taicom shares. This is expected in a loss on investment of approximately $2,861,000. The parties continue to negotiate over the agreements.

The Company has reserved 18,385,696 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There are not and have not been any disagreements between us and our accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices, or financial statement disclosure during our two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Under Delaware law, a corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation (Certificate) a provision that eliminates or limits the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, but no such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for any breach of duty of loyalty, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL) (dealing with illegal redemptions and stock repurchases), or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrants Certificate limits personal liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
The Certificate also provides that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify thereto, provided that if such indemnified person initiates a proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified only if the Registrants board of directors approved such action. Section 145 of the DGCL permits indemnification against expenses, fines, judgments and settlements incurred by any director, officer or employee of a Company in the event of pending or threatened civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings, if such person was, or was threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company. Section 145 and the Registrants Certificate also provide that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.
The Registrant has a directors and officers liability insurance policy in place pursuant to which its directors and officers are insured against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act) and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising out of the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the provisions described above, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

F-6 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ....................... F-7 - F-60 F-1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and Board of Directors IA Global, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IA Global, Inc. (the "Company") as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2009, the transition period for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits 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 misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. 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 significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the for the year ended March 31, 2009, the transition period for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses, and has a working capital deficit as of March 31, 2009, as more fully described in Note 1. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In addition, in connection with loans that the Company's fully owned subsidiary, Global Hotline, Inc., entered into, the equity shares of this subsidiary currently held by the lender of these loans is being challenged by IA Global, Inc. If these shares should not be successfully recovered, the Company's claim of ownership in this subsidiary may be limited. /s/Sherb & Co., LLP Certified Public Accountants New York, New York September 2, 2009 F-2

("IA Global" or the "Company") is a broad based services Company with a dedicated focus on growth of existing business, together with expansion through mergers and acquisitions in the Pacific Rim region. Our mission is to identify and invest in business opportunities, apply our skills and resources to nurture and enhance the performance of those businesses across key business metrics, and to deliver accelerating shareholder value. To realize this plan, the Company is expanding investments in the business process outsourcing ("BPO") and financial services sectors. These sectors demonstrate long-term growth prospects in which we, by applying our skills and resources, can add significant value to our investments.

IA Global has acquired a select portfolio of investments in Japan, Australia and the Philippines/Singapore area, targeted and developed with a sharp eye for producing outstanding growth and profitability.

BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING In Japan, IA Global is 100% owner of Global Hotline ("Global Hotline" or "GHI"), except as disclosed, a Business Process Outsourcing organization, operating several major call centers providing outbound telemarketing services for telecommunications, insurance, credit card and catalog products. Since our acquisition of Global Hotline in June 2005, this business has expanded rapidly with the signing of multi-year contracts with major corporations. This growth is being driven by new contracts, process improvements, infrastructure expansion, and macro economic trends such as the ongoing gains in the Japanese economy, consistent year on year growth in targeted industries, higher disposable incomes, and the increasingly rapid growth of the senior citizen demographic. As of March 31, 2009, Global Hotline employed 885 full and part-time personnel to support these multi-million dollar contracts. In the Philippines, the Company acquired 100% of Shift on April 10, 2008 and Asia Premier on May 27, 2008, multi-service call center operations that have now been merged into a single Company operating as Global Hotline Philippines Inc. HUMAN CAPITAL AND RESOURCES IA Global has a 20.25% equity investment in Slate Consulting Co Ltd ("Slate"). Slate is a Japan headquartered Executive Search firm with operations and business entities in Tokyo, and a call center in Manila, Philippines. FINANCIAL SERVICES In Japan, the Company has a 12.6% stake as of September 1, 2009 in Taicom Securities Co Ltd ("Taicom"), a Japanese securities firm.

CORPORATE INFORMATION The Company was incorporated in Delaware on November 12, 1998. The Company's executive offices are located at 101 California Street, Suite 2450, San Francisco, CA 94111, with its operating units being located primarily in Japan, Philippines and Australia. The Company's telephone number is (415) 946-8828 and its primary website is located at www.iaglobalinc.com. The information on our website is not a part of this Form 10-K. The Company's charters for the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating Committee; and the Code of Conduct & Ethics are also available on the Company's website. GOING CONCERN These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a "going concern" basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred operating losses for the years ended March 31, 2009, the transition period the three months ended March 31, 2008, and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, as well as an accumulated deficit of approximately $59,600,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $14,549,000 as of March 31, 2009. Furthermore, the Company has not remitted and is delinquent payroll tax withholding and expenses on a timely basis for their Japanese subsidiary Global Hotline. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon continued development of their business outsource processing business, as well as upon obtaining additional financing to develop the these businesses, the ultimate realization of profits through future BPO business, and the success of the Company's business plan. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its business. In addition, in connection with loans payable that the Company's fully owned subsidiary, Global Hotline, Inc., entered into, the equity shares of this subsidiary currently held by the lender of these loans as collateral, is being challenged by IA Global, Inc. If these shares should not be successfully recovered, the Company's claim of ownership in this subsidiary may be limited. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial statements to conform to the current year classification. Thee reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings. CHANGE OF FISCAL YEAR END In June 2007, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company changed the fiscal year end of the Company from a December 31st year end to a March 31st year end. Per management, this change in fiscal year was made to align the Company with the fiscal year end of their wholly owned subsidiary Global Hotline. The change in fiscal year end commenced in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, which is presented as the transition period for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The first full fiscal year under the newly adopted year end is that of year ended March 31, 2009. INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES On June 1, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved the increase in the number of authorized common shares from 300,000,000 to 450,000,000 shares. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Inter-Company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. F-8
The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Balances in Japanese banks are generally insured by the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan up to 10,000,000 Yen per depositor per bank or approximately $81,000 at current exchange rates. At times during the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company's cash in bank deposit accounts exceed federally insured limits with regards to certain accounts in the United States, and exceeded Japanese statutory limits with regards to certain accounts in Japan. As of March 31, 2009, the Company's cash accounts have not exceeded their United States statutory limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified within the portfolio. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if payments from customers are significantly delayed, additional allowances might be required. EQUIPMENT - Equipment represents machinery, equipment and software, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of machinery and equipment is computed by the accelerated or straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally 2-5 years. Software developed or obtained for internal use is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally 2-3 years. INTANGIBLE ASSETS / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY - The Company amortizes the intangible assets and intellectual property acquired in connection with the acquisition of Global Hotline, over thirty six months on a straight-line basis, which was the time frame that the management of the Company was able to project forward for future revenue, either under agreement or through expected continued business activities with significant telecommunications companies. The Company amortizes the intangible assets and intellectual property acquired in connection with the acquisition of Global Hotline Philippines, Inc., over sixty months on a straight - line basis, which was the time frame that the management of the Company was able to project forward for future revenue, either under agreement or through expected continued business activities with its customers. LONG - LIVED ASSETS - The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results. EQUITY INVESTMENTS - The company accounts for equity investments using the equity method unless its value has been determined to be other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write the investment down to its impaired value. The company reviews these investments periodically for impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying value when an other-than-temporary decline is evident; however, for non-marketable equity securities, the impairment analysis requires significant judgment. During its review, the company evaluates the financial condition of the issuer, market conditions, and other factors providing an indication of the fair value of the investments. Adverse changes in market conditions or operating results of the issuer that differ from expectation, could result in additional other-than-temporary losses in future periods. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company has adopted SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures. F-9
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, SFAS 157 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity's own assumptions. Cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,615,000, include money market securities and commercial paper that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of March 31, 2009. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. In addition to SFAS 157 as noted above, SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," was effective for the year ended March 31, 2009 and the transition period for the three months ended March 31, 2008. SFAS 159 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments. DEBT AND EQUITY FINANCING OF CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS - BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURES - The Company has adopted Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issues 98-5, ACCOUNTING FOR CONVERTIBLES SECURITIES WITH BENEFICIAL CONVERSION FEATURES OR CONTINGENTLY ADJUSTABLE CONVERSION RATIOS, and 00-27, APPLICATION OF ISSUE NO. 98-5 TO CERTAIN CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES in accounting for convertible debt. EITF 00-27 requires recognition of the intrinsic value of the conversion option and is recognized as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as an addition to paid-in capital. The intrinsic value of the conversion feature is the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the stock into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares. The conversion price used in calculating the intrinsic value is the most favorable conversion price up to maturity, assuming there are no changes to the current circumstances except for the passage of time. Changes to the conversion terms that would be triggered by future events not controlled by the issuer should be accounted for as contingent conversion options, and the intrinsic value of such conversion options would not be recognized until and unless the triggering event occurs. According to EITF 00-27, the issuance proceeds should not be reduced by issuance costs when calculating the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature of debt or equity instruments, depending on the specific facts and circumstances, will determine whether such beneficial conversion feature is to be recorded as an expense to be amortized over a period of time, expensed immediately or recorded as a deemed dividend. REVENUE RECOGNITION - Global Hotline's revenue is derived from its multiple call centers undertaking the telemarketing of telecommunications products and services, and a range of insurance products and services in Japan and other products and services in the Philippines. Revenue is considered realized when the services have been provided to the customer, the work has been accepted by the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Furthermore, if an actual measurement of revenue cannot be determined, we defer all revenue recognition until such time that an actual measurement can be determined. If during the course of a contract management determines that losses are expected to be incurred, such costs are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. Revenues are deferred when cash has been received from the customer but the revenue has not been earned. The Company recorded deferred revenue of $3.2 million and $0 as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There were minimal advertising costs incurred for the year ended March 31, 2009, the transition period the three months ended March 31, 2008, and the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. F-10
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - Foreign entities whose functional currency is the local currency translate net assets at the end of period rates and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates for the periods ended. Adjustments resulting from these translations are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet under other comprehensive income and the statement of operations under other income (expense). STOCK BASED COMPENSATION - Effective January 1, 2006, the Company began recording compensation expense associated with stock-based awards and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with Statement of SFAS 123R as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. The Company adopted the related to stock-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. In addition, the Company records expense over the vesting period in connection with stock options granted. The compensation expense for stock-based awards includes an estimate for forfeitures and is recognized over the expected term of the award on a straight line basis. The Company received stockholder approval of the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan ("2007 Plan") on June 29, 2007. Under this 2007 Plan, the Company grants stock options for shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants. In accordance with the 2007 Plan, the stock options are granted at the fair market value of the common stock. The 2007 Plan provides that the options will have a life of up to ten years from the date of grant. The options granted under the 2007 Plan vest quarterly or annually over a period of three years. Certain options granted under the 2007 Plan vest over shorter periods. Under the 2007 Plan, the Company may grant options, restricted stock or other awards for the purchase of up to 20 million shares. On July 29, 2008, the stockholders voted to increase the number of shares authorized under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan from 20,000,000 to 27,500,000 at the Company's annual shareholder meeting. A total of 11,693,512 shares of common stock are available for future grants under the 2007 Plan as of March 31, 2009. Options for the purchase of 9,126,042 shares are outstanding as of March 31, 2008. Shares underlying options that expire, or are cancelled without delivery of shares, generally become available for future re-issuance under the 2007 Plan. When the stock options are granted, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the weighted assumptions noted in the following table. the Transition Period For the the Three For the Years Ended Year Ended Months Ended December 31, March 31, March 31, ------------------- 2009 2008 2007 2006 ---------- -------------- ------ ------ Risk free interest rate . 3.96% 3.73% 5.39% 4.96% Expected life ........... 8 yrs. 8 yrs. 8 yrs. 8 yrs.

Net loss per share basic and diluted for this expense was approximately ($0.00). The Company recorded $60,000 of compensation expense, net of related tax effects, relative to stock options for the transition period three months ended March 31, 2008, respectively in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 123-R, Share-Based Payment, ("SFAS 123R"). Net loss per share basic and diluted for this expense was approximately ($0.00). The Company recorded $174,514 and $122,007 of compensation expense, net of related tax effects, relative to stock options for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively in accordance with SFAS 123R. Net loss per share basic and diluted for this expense was approximately ($0.00). F-11
As of March 31, 2009, there is approximately $1,097,000 of total unrecognized costs related to employee granted stock options that are not vested. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately three years. The Company accounts for non-employee stock transactions in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and EITF 96-18. The Company issued grants for 21,429 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $.28 per share to non-employment consultant during the twelve months ended March 31, 2009. The grants were expensed immediately. There are 273,929 stock options outstanding for non-employees as of March 31, 2009 at an average exercise price of $.342 per share. The Company issued grants for 55,000 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $.267 per share to non-employee consultants during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The grants were expensed immediately. There are 227,500 stock options outstanding for non-employees as of March 31, 2008 at an average exercise price of $.356 per share. The Company issued grants for 172,500 shares of common stock at $.384 per share in the year ended December 31, 2007. The grants were expensed immediately. There are 172,500 stock options at $.384 per share outstanding as of December 31, 2007. There were no non-employee stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2006. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Under the intrinsic value method of accounting, no compensation expense was recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations when the exercise price of the Company's employee stock option grant equaled the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and the measurement date of the option grant is certain. The total exercise value of all options granted to employees and directors of the Company in the year ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $425,000. Under SFAS 123R, the Company remeasures the intrinsic value of the options at the end of each reporting period until the options are exercised, cancelled or expire unexercised. As of March 31, 2008, there are 5.5 million options with a weighted average exercise price of $0.29 and a weighted average remaining life of 9.15 years, which remain outstanding and continue to be remeasured at the intrinsic value over their remaining vesting period ranging from 3 months to 3 years. Compensation expense in any given period is calculated as the difference between total earned compensation at the end of the period, less total earned compensation at the beginning of the period. Compensation earned is calculated on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for any given option award. A total of approximately $756,000 in compensation expense remains unearned as of March 31, 2008. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards using the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Under the intrinsic value method of accounting, no compensation expense was recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations when the exercise price of the Company's employee stock option grant equaled the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and the measurement date of the option grant is certain. The total value of all options granted to employees and directors of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2007 was approximately $1,312,000. Under SFAS 123R, the Company remeasures the intrinsic value of the options at the end of each reporting period until the options are exercised, cancelled or expire unexercised. As of December 31, 2007, there are 8.1 million options with a weighted average exercise price of $0.261 and a weighted average remaining life of 8.81 years, remain outstanding and continue to be remeasured at the intrinsic value over their remaining vesting period ranging from 3 months to 3 years. Compensation expense in any given period is calculated as the difference between total earned compensation at the end of the period, less total earned compensation at the beginning of the period. Compensation earned is calculated on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for any given option award. A total of approximately $415,000 in compensation expense remains unearned as of December 31, 2007. F-12
Previously, the Company had the 1999 and 2000 stock option plans (the "Plans"), in which the Company granted stock options for shares of common stock to employees and directors. In accordance with the Plans, the stock options were granted at the fair market value of the common stock. The Plans provided that the options will have a life of up to ten years from the date of grant. The options granted under the Plans vested quarterly or annually over a period of three years. Certain options granted under the Plans vested over shorter periods. Under the Plans, the Company may grant options for the purchase of up to 12,000,000 shares. A total of 1,530,000 shares of common stock have been purchased, through the exercise of options issued under the Plans, since the Plans were implemented. Shares underlying options that expire, or are cancelled without delivery of shares, generally became available for future re-issuance under the Plans. No additional shares will be issued under the Plans. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net loss to common shareholders and foreign currency transaction adjustments and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Stockholder's Equity. INCOME TAXES - Income tax provision (benefit) is based on reported income (loss) before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws in the countries and locations where that company operates out of. The Company recognizes refundable and deferred assets to the extent that management has determined their realization. As of March 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had refundable tax assets of $1,419,418 and 1,477,580, respectively, based on prepayments that the Company has made that are available to offset future taxable income. The following (benefits) provision for income taxes by geographic operations is as follows: Transition Period For the For the the Three For the Years Ended Year Ended Year Ended Months Ended March 31, March 31, March 31, March 31, ------------------------------ 2009 2009 2008 2007 2006 ------------- ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------- (Loss) Income from operations (Unaudited) (Unaudited) before income taxes: US operations ........................ $ (13,035,389) $ (3,156,745) $ (803,243) $ (3,025,217) $ (1,904,804) Japan operations .....................

The significant components of activities that gave rise to refundable income tax assets that are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows: For the Year Ended March 31, ----------------------------- 2009 2008 ------------- ------------- Deferred Income taxes .................... $ - $ - Refundable Income taxes .................. 1,419,000 1,478,000 Operating loss carry forwards ............ 13,000,000 9,750,000 ------------- ------------- Gross Tax Asset .......................... 14,419,000 11,228,000 Less: Valuation Allowance ................ (13,000,000) (9,750,000) ------------- ------------- Refundable Tax Asset, net of Allowance ... $ 1,419,000 $ 1,478,000 ============= ============= The valuation allowance at March 31, 2009, principally applies the net operating loss ("NOL") carry forwards that, in the opinion of management, are more likely than not to expire before the Company can use them. Total Deferred Taxes - foreign (Japan) were approximately $4,800,000. Total Deferred Taxes - US were approximately $8,200,000. For tax return purposes, the Company has available US and Japanese NOL carry forwards of approximately $35.3 million which expire in various years through 2029, subject to any potential Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") due to ownership changes in IA Global and statutory Japanese limitations. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. IA Global has raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions which, combined with the F-14
purchasing shareholders' subsequent disposition of those shares, may have resulted in a change of control, as defined by Section 382, or could result in a change of control in the future upon subsequent disposition. The Company has not currently completed a study to assess whether a change of control has occurred or whether there have been multiple changes of control since the company's formation due to the significant complexity and cost associated with such study and that there could be additional changes in control in the future. If the Company has experienced a change of control at any time since the Company formation, utilization of our NOL credit carry forwards would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL credit carry forwards before utilization. Further, until a study is completed and any limitation known, no amounts are being presented as an uncertain tax position under FIN 48. NET LOSS PER SHARE - The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Loss per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The common stock equivalents have not been included as they are anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2009, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 11,693,512 common shares, warrants for 38,962,243 common shares and shares issued as collateral for loans of 3,554,546 shares of common stock which could potentially dilute future earnings per share. As of March 31, 2008, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 9,126,042 common shares, convertible debentures convertible into 7,666,679 common shares and warrants for 62,243 shares of common stock which could potentially dilute future earnings per share. DIVIDEND POLICY - The Company has never paid any cash dividends and intends, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings for the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141(R)"). SFAS 141(R) will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141(R) is expected to impact the Company in the event of any future acquisitions. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements--an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51" ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 160 to determine the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative F-15
instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In May 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the SEC of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS No. 162 did not Have a material impact on the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities," to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 03-6-1 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, "Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99 - Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets". FSP EITF 99-20-1 changes the impairment model included within EITF 99-20 to be more consistent with the impairment model of SFAS No. 115. FSP EITF 99-20-1 achieves this by amending the impairment model in EITF 99-20 to remove its exclusive reliance on "market participant" estimates of future cash flows used in determining fair value. Changing the cash flows used to analyze other-than-temporary impairment from the "market participant" view to a holder's estimate of whether there has been a "probable" adverse change in estimated cash flows allows companies to apply reasonable judgment in assessing whether another-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The adoption of FSP EITF 99-20-1 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In April 2009 the FASB issued FSP No. 141R-1 Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, or FSP 141R-1. FSP 141R-1 amends the provisions in SFAS 141R for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations. The FSP eliminates the distinction between contractual and non-contractual contingencies, including the initial recognition and measurement criteria in SFAS 141R and instead carries forward most of the F-16
provisions in SFAS 141 for acquired contingencies. FSP 141R-1 is effective for contingent assets and contingent liabilities acquired in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP No. 141R-1 did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or liquidity. In April 2009 the FASB issued three related Staff Positions: (i) FSP No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, or FSP 157-4, (ii) FSP 115-2 and FSP No. 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments , or FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2, and (iii) FSP 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, or FSP 107 and APB 28-1, which are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP 157-4 provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities under SFAS 157 in the current economic environment and reemphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains an exit price. If the Company were to conclude that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity of the asset or liability in relation to normal market activities, quoted market values may not be representative of fair value and the Company may conclude that a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2 modify the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and revise the existing impairment model for such securities, by modifying the current intent and ability indicator in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. FSP 107 and APB 28-1 enhance the disclosure of instruments under the scope of SFAS 157 for both interim and annual periods. In May 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, or SFAS 165. SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether the date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective in the first interim period ending after June 15, 2009. The Company expects SFAS 165 will have an impact on disclosures in their consolidated financial statements, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and value of the any subsequent events occurring after adoption. In June 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), or SFAS 167, that will change how we determine when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. Under SFAS No. 167, determining whether a company is required to consolidate an entity will be based on, among other things, an entity's purpose and design and a company's ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. SFAS 167 is effective for financial statements after January 1, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS 167 and the impact of adoption on their consolidated financial statements, if any. In June 2009 the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting, or SFAS 168. SFAS 168 represents the last numbered standard to be issued by FASB under the old (pre-Codification) numbering system, and amends the GAAP hierarchy established under SFAS 162. On July 1, 2009 the FASB launched FASB's new Codification entitled The FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or FASB ASC. The Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. SFAS 168 is effective in the first interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. This pronouncement will have no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption other than current references to GAAP which will be replaced with references to the applicable codification paragraphs. A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITION, EQUITY INVESTMENT AND DIVESTITURES Business Process Outsourcing ("BPO") GLOBAL HOTLINE, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES The acquisition of Global Hotline, a privately held Japanese Company, closed on June 15, 2005. The transaction was structured as a share exchange in which the Company issued 15,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of Global Hotline's equity. The common stock of the Company had a value of $0.207 per share, which was the average close price during the twenty days prior to the signing of the April 20, 2005 Share Exchange Agreement, or an aggregate value of $3,097,500.

("LINC Media"), a Tokyo, Japan-based Company. The acquisition was valued at $4,250,000 and consisted of a combination of debt and equity financing. The Company paid $80,000 at closing and issued promissory notes of $720,000, which was due on November 30, 2007, and $1,200,000 and $200,000, which were due on February 28, 2008. In addition, the parties entered into a Performance Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to issue 5,394,736 shares of its common stock based on the achievement of certain performance criteria, which will be evaluated by May 15, 2008. The parties agreed to value the Company's common stock at $0.38 per share, which was the average closing market price during the period of negotiations. In addition, the Company agreed to adjust the price by paying cash if the average closing price during the six months subsequent to October 22, 2007 is 10% less than $0.38 per share. F-27
On February 22, 2008, the Company and LINC Media entered into an amendment. Pursuant to the amendment, the $720,000 promissory note was reduced to $690,000, as $30,000 was paid on January 4, 2008. The payment date on the $690,000 promissory note was extended to February 29, 2008. In addition, the Company agreed to increase the number of shares in the Performance Agreement to 9,217,391 shares at $0.23 per share. The Company also agreed to issue 304,348 shares of its common stock at $0.23 per share, which was the closing price on the day the Amendment was agreed. On March 12, 2008, the Company and LINC Media terminated the definitive agreements due to the U.S. market conditions. LINC Media retains the $110,000 paid to date, less $10,000 deducted for legal fees. There are no additional fees or cash payments or stock issuances required by the Company or LINC Media. The $110,000 paid to date has been written off as of December 31, 2007 and is accounted for as a loss from disposal of a discontinued operation. Year ended December 31, 2006 discontinued operations are as follows: On April 4, 2006, the Company closed the sale of its 60.5% interest in Rex Tokyo back to Rex Tokyo. The Company received $1,302,159 in payments during April to June 2006.

The Company recorded a gain from disposal of $463,375 during the year ended December 31, 2006.

From the operations of Rex Tokyo, the Company realized a gain of $76,054, a loss of $981,521, and a gain of $142,434 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

This note receivable, originally for $620,000, was received on July 15, 2005 as part of the sale and discontinuance of IA Global Acquisition Co. and use of its intellectual property. The impairment is based on the lack of payments by Ominira to date and a decline in the value of the ICG shares held as collateral. Accordingly, the ICG shares have not been recorded as an asset for purposes of note recovery. The entire note receivable and accrued interest of $11,917 have been written off as of December 31, 2006.

NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS IA Global, Inc. announced the following results of its Special Shareholder Meeting held on June 1, 2009: (i) Approved the Amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation increasing in the number of authorized common shares from 300,000,000 to 450,000,000 by the following vote: For 118,852,425 Against 2,567,300 Abstain 44,300 (ii) Rejected the Issuance of Shares of Common Stock in Connection with Certain Transactions by the following vote: For 52,218,263 Against 69,201,562 Abstain 44,200 NOTE 20. UNAUDITED PRO-FORMA - LOSS OF OWNERSHIP IN SUBSIDIARY As has been previously disclosed, the Company pledged its shares of Global Hotline as collateral for certain loans borrowed from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, by such subsidiary. On May 26, 2009, Global Hotline and IA Global received notices from H Capital demanding repayment of the loans. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, H Capital submitted documents claiming ownership of the Companys 600 shares of Global Hotline. Global Hotlines management previously provided the Companys stock certificates to H Capital in March 2009. Although the Company has engaged Japanese corporate counsel to challenge the validity of the loans and H Capitals claims with respect to the Companys ownership of Global Hotline, these events have resulted in IA Global losing control over the day-to-day management and operations of Global Hotline. In addition, we no longer have access to the financial records of Global Hotline that are necessary to periodically report our financial position and results of operations as a consolidated subsidiary of IA Global. For the reasons described above, on December 8, 2009, the Company deconsolidated the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company intends to account for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our stockholders equity is expected to increase by $15.2 million as of the end of the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009. Set forth below are unaudited pro forma financial statements reflecting managements decision to deconsolidate the operations of Global Hotline. These pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of how future financial statements will appear, regardless of the outcome of the Companys dispute with H Capital. The Company will continue to pursue its civil claim against H Capital, and we are also exploring alternative structures through which we can pursue IA Globals interest in the Japanese BPO business.

UNAUDITED - LOSS OF OWNERSHIP IN INVESTMENT IN TAICOM SECURITIES On November 16, 2009, AMV claimed ownership of our Taicom shares based on conditions set forth in the June 8, 2009 Service Agreement with AMV. This is expected in a loss on investment of approximately $2,861,000. The parties continue to negotiate over the agreements. REPORT OF MANAGEMENT IA Global, Inc. and Subsidiaries IA Global, Inc. is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this annual report have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. We, as management of IA Global, Inc., are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective adequate control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified. Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. The Audit Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors, meets regularly with management, internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm, and reviews audit plans and results, as well as management's actions taken in discharging responsibilities for accounting, financial reporting and internal control. Sherb & Co., LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and the internal auditors have direct and confidential access to the Audit Committee at all times to discuss the results of their examinations. REPORT ON MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Management assessed the corporation's system of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in "Internal Control--Integrated Framework," issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of March 31, 2009, its system of internal control over financial reporting is effective based on the criteria of the "Internal Control--Integrated Framework". /s/ Derek Schneideman /s/ Mark Scott Derek Schneideman Mark Scott Chief Executive Officer Chief Operating and Financial Officer San Francisco, CA September 3, 2009 F-60

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under Delaware law, a corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation (Certificate) a provision that eliminates or limits the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, but no such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director (a) for any breach of duty of loyalty, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL) (dealing with illegal redemptions and stock repurchases), or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Section 145 of the DGCL permits indemnification against expenses, fines, judgments and settlements incurred by any director, officer or employee of a Company in the event of pending or threatened civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings, if such person was, or was threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company. Section 145 and the Registrants Certificate also provide that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.

Equity Line of Credit Transaction with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC
On September 29, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC (Ascendiant), pursuant to which Ascendiant agreed to purchase up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of the Companys common stock from time to time over a 24-month period, provided that certain conditions are met. The financing arrangement entered into by IA Global and Ascendiant is commonly referred to as an equity line of credit or an equity drawdown facility.
Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Ascendiant will not be obligated to purchase shares of IA Globals common stock unless and until certain conditions are met, including but not limited to (i) approval of the transaction by the NYSE Amex, and (ii) the Company files by November 13, 2009 and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) declares effective by January 27, 2010 a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the Registration Statement) registering Ascendiants resale of any shares purchased by it under the equity drawdown facility. The customary terms and conditions associated with Ascendiants registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement that was also entered into by the parties on September 29, 2009.
If and when the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, IA Global will have the right to sell and issue to Ascendiant, and Ascendiant will be obligated to purchase from IA Global, up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of the Companys common stock over a 24-month period beginning on such date (the Commitment Period). IA Global will be entitled to sell such shares from time to time during the Commitment Period by delivering a draw down notice to Ascendiant. In such draw down notices, IA Global will be required to specify the dollar amount of shares that it intends to sell to Ascendiant, which will be spread over a nine-trading-day pricing period. For each draw, IA Global will be required to deliver the shares sold to Ascendiant in three installments (following the third, sixth and ninth trading days in the pricing period, respectively). Ascendiant is entitled to liquidated damages in connection with certain delays in the delivery of its shares.
The Securities Purchase Agreement also provides for the following terms and conditions:
|
|
Purchase Price - 90% of IA Globals volume-weighted average price (VWAP). |
|
|
Threshold Price - IA Global may specify a price below which it will not sell shares during the applicable nine-trading-day pricing period. If the purchase price falls below the threshold price on any day(s) during the pricing period, such day(s) will be removed from the pricing period (and Ascendiants investment amount will be reduced by 1/9 for each such day). |
|
|
Maximum Draw - 15% of IA Globals total trading volume for the 10-trading-day period immediately preceding the applicable draw down, times the average VWAP during such period (but in no event more than $250,000). |
|
|
Minimum Draw - None. |
|
|
Minimum Time Between Draw Down Pricing Periods - Two trading days. |
|
|
Minimum Use of Facility - IA Global is obligated to sell at least $1,000,000 worth of shares of its common stock to Ascendiant during the Commitment Period. |
|
|
Commitment Fees - Upon AMEX approval, IA Global will be obligated to issue 2,371,917 shares of its common stock to Ascendiant ($125,000 worth of shares based on the Companys closing bid price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement). If and when the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, IA Global will be obligated to issue another $125,000 worth of shares of its common stock in four installments over a period of 90 days following the effectiveness date. |
|
|
Other Fees and Expenses - IA Global has agreed to pay $10,000 to Ascendiants legal counsel for the legal fees and expenses it incurred in connection with negotiating and documenting the equity line of credit. Pursuant to separate agreements, IA Global has also agreed to pay an aggregate of 3.0% in finders fees (to be paid in connection with each draw down). |
|
|
Indemnification - Ascendiant is entitled to customary indemnification from IA Global for any losses or liabilities it suffers as a result of any breach by IA Global of any provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by any stockholder of IA Global (except stockholders who are officers, directors or principal stockholders of IA Global). |
|
|
Conditions to Ascendiants Obligation to Purchase Shares - Trading in IA Globals common stock must not be suspended by the SEC or the NYSE Amex (or other applicable trading market); IA Global must not have experienced a material adverse effect; all liquidated damages and other amounts owing to Ascendiant must be paid in full; the Registration Statement must be effective with respect to Ascendiants resale of all shares purchased under the equity drawdown facility; there must be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of IA Global common stock; and the issuance must not cause Ascendiant to own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of IA Global common stock, or more than 19.9% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on September 29, 2009 to have been issued under the equity drawdown facility (without shareholder approval). |
|
|
Termination - The Securities Purchase Agreement will terminate if IA Globals common stock is not listed on one of several specified trading markets (which include the NYSE Amex, OTC Bulletin Board and Pink Sheets, among others); if IA Global files for protection from its creditors; or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC by June 29, 2010. IA Global may terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement if Ascendiant fails to fund a draw down within 10 trading days after the end of the applicable settlement period, or if the SEC provides comments on the Registration Statement requiring certain changes in the transaction structure and/or documents. |
The Securities Purchase Agreement also contains certain representations and warranties of IA Global and Ascendiant, including customary investment-related representations provided by Ascendiant, as well as acknowledgements by Ascendiant that it has reviewed certain disclosures of the Company (including the periodic reports that the Company has filed with the SEC) and that the Companys issuance of the shares has not been registered with the SEC or qualified under any state securities laws. IA Global provided customary representations regarding, among other things, its organization, capital structure, subsidiaries, disclosure reports, absence of certain legal or governmental proceedings, financial statements, tax matters, insurance matters, real property and other assets, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. IA Globals representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety (to the extent applicable) by the Companys disclosures in the reports it files with the SEC. IA Global also delivered confidential disclosure schedules qualifying certain of its representations and warranties in connection with executing and delivering the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The shares to be issued by IA Global to Ascendiant under the Securities Purchase Agreement will be issued in private placements in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements set forth in the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) provided for in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder.
Item 16. Exhibits
See the Exhibit Index immediately below the signature page to this Registration Statement.

(ii) To reflect in the Registration Statement any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Registration Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b), if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser.
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) Each Registration Statement filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed Registration Statement was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B) Each Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of Registration Statement is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the Registration Statement. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that Registration Statement relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Registration Statement that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Registration Statement that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Registration Statement that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or
(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each Registration Statement filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Registration Statement filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Registration Statement that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Registration Statement that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Registration Statement that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
