Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On December 5, 2005, INTL Trading, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received the final regulatory approval effective November 23, 2005 to engage the Broadcort division of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. as its securities clearing firm. The change from the previous clearing firm occurred on December 1, 2005. INTL Trading executed a clearing agreement that includes a $100,000 deposit and an initial term of two years. Thereafter, there will be automatic one year renewal terms, unless the Company or Broadcort gives 90 days' notice of its intention not to renew either at the end of the initial term or any succeeding one year renewal period. In the event the Company does not use this 90 day notice provision and terminates the agreement effective before the conclusion of the initial two year term or any automatic extension period, the Company will immediately owe the greater of (1) the sum of all continuing minimum payments ($25,000 per month) through the end of the inital term or extension period or (2) the total value of the clearing deposit at the time of termination.

The clearing agreement is included as an exhibit to this filing.
