DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

Pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-149112) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 8, 2008 by HSW International, Inc. (the “Company”) and declared effective April 7, 2008, the Company registered the resale from time to time of 6,114,117 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Shares were registered to permit resales of such Shares by selling stockholders, as named in the Registration Statement, who acquired the Shares in connection with the Company’s merger with INTAC International, Inc. and related transactions.

            The Company is seeking to deregister all Shares that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof because its obligation to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to the terms of its agreement with the selling stockholders has terminated. Pursuant to the undertaking of the Company as required by Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister all remaining unsold Shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement which would have otherwise remained available for sale under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
