PART II--OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 26, 2003, Andzej Krakowski, a former employee of ForeignTV.com,
Inc., filed a civil action in the United States District Court Southern District
of New York seeking damages and injunctive relief for (i) statutory damages,
costs and attorney fees resulting from our alleged willful copyright
infringement, (ii) monetary damages in the amount of $436,477 for alleged breach
of an employment agreement, (iii) issuance of 180,000 shares of common stock in
IA Global, (iv) monetary damages for alleged fraud, (v) monetary damages of at
least $1,200,000, and (vi) punitive damages, costs and attorney fees. Mr.
Krakowski claimed that IA Global had breached various oral and written
agreements between the parties, including the financing of a film and an
Arbitration proceeding.
We are a successor corporation to ForeignTV.com, Inc. and Medium4.com, Inc.
("Medium"). As part of the September 25, 2002 Agreement and Assignment between
Medium, IAJ and David Badner, a major stockholder and former consultant, Mr.
Badner agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless against expenses, obligations
and liabilities related to any breach of the representations and warranties and
any creditor claims arising from this agreement which facilitated our financial
restructuring.
We believe we have appropriate indemnification from Mr. Badner for Mr.
Krakowski's claim, but there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in
resolving this claim.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereby agree as follows:

registration is available.

States of America, its territories or possessions, or
of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, unless registered
pursuant to the provisions of that Act or an opinion
of counsel to the Company is obtained stating that
such disposition is in compliance with an available
exemption from such registration."
1.8 The Subscriber represents that it has the full right, power and
authority to enter into and perform the Subscriber's obligations hereunder, and
this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except that (i) any enforcement may be
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally and

Parties;
b) Repayment of the PIBDL by LWI shall be limited as follows:

SCHEDULE
AGREED BUDGET FROM LOI DRAFT VER 4 CLEAN - FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES
START UP COST BUDGET
The startup operating cost budget is set at AUD$100,000 plus the cost of any
hardware, software and services required for the installation of the Swiftel
server. This budget is for Australia only. It is envisaged that the startup
phase will take approx 3 months, after which I-Accele Australia should be self
funding.
The only caveat to this estimate is the timing of cash flow. An initial estimate
of a rollout to an ISP is:
o Technical evaluation - 1-2 weeks
o Contract negotiation and signing - 1 week (longer for larger ISPs that
will have to get committee/board approvals to sign agreements and use
the product)
o Product roll out to get a decent take up (including (say) a 2 week free
trial for users - 7 weeks
o Payment from ISP - 4 weeks (in Australia standard 30 day payment terms
are generally the norm)
Based on this estimate, it will take approx 14-16 weeks from start to first
cashflow for an average ISP. Some will proceed quicker and some slower.
Subsequent Nominated Territories will be funded from retained earnings and
investment from local partners.
Estimated operating pre-start costs:
o Marketing documentation and a white paper for the ISPs - $5,000-10,000
(particularly now that we see a need to review all English language user
interfaces eg help files and warning screens)
o Legal agreement with Swiftel - $10,000
o Standard legal agreement for ISPs - $10,000-12,500
- 6 -
o Marketing officer (contractor) in Eastern States to hit medium ISPs -
$5,000/mnth x 3 months = $15,000
o I-Accele Australia management cost (M Jenkins) $5,000/mnth x 4 months =
$20,000
o Travel costs with in Australia - $15,000
o Incorporation costs for I-Accele Australia - $1,500
o Admin, including phone costs, outside colour printing and incidental
costs - $5,000
o Contingency - $5,000
o Australian GST $9,400*
Budget = $100,000 ie $91,000 +GST
GST should be refundable once the venture starts producing income. The budget
includes a worst case scenario. GST is the Australian federal value added tax on
goods and services and it is levied at 10% of base cost.
All expenditure to be to budget and agreed by both Directors. A more accurate
budget will be developed for Directors' signoff as the operations commence.
However, the budget is considered an upper limit, based on the stated
assumptions.
Other startup budget items that may be considered are:
o Independent technical paper - $5,000 (est)
o Publicity agent to coordinate launch and maximise general and specialist
media exposure of following month. - $10,000-15,000.
START UP CAPITAL BUDGET
The following budget has been prepared from 3rd party quotes in Australia for
equipment to the specifications requested by IA. It may prove cheaper and more
effective to purchase some or all of these items in Japan and send the
configured items to Australia, subject to also procuring hardware backup
agreements in Australia.
- 7 -
Quad processor with Windows server software AUD$31,000.
Dual processor with Windows server software AUD$11,550.
Both machines are IBM brand and IBM backup service.
Approx AUD$3,500 GST should be refundable on these purchases, as noted above.
The purchase contracts include 3 years' onsite 4 hour (9am-5pm) call out
support. It is recommended that a 2nd Quad processor be installed at Swiftel in
Sydney as a backup for both the compression and licence servers that will be
situated at Swiftel in Perth. This backup capability will be written into the
contracts with ISPs so that they are aware of the maximum backup that I-Accele
Australia will provide. For example, in the unlikely event that all servers went
down, I-Accele Australia would not be liable for damages whilst it repaired the
situation.
Commitment to the capital budget will only be required once an ISP has signed
for the service. Prior to that, all trial traffic can be accommodated on the
dual processor server already at Swiftel.
NB - CERTAIN ITEMS OF THIS CAPITAL BUDGET ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT AND THIS
INFORMATION HAS BEEN COMMUNICATED TO IAO. FOR INSTANCE THE CAPITAL BUDGET IS NOW
$5300 (APPROVED BY IAO) FOR THE AUSTRALIAN COMPRESSION SERVER - MJ 22.9.03
