          Financial  Holdings,  Ltd.  (the  Company)  as of  December  31,  1996

          Current  Report on Form 8-K dated  February  25, 1997,  as  originally
          filed,  and assumes the  disposition  took place on December 31, 1996.

          fiscal  year  ended  September  30,  1996 and the three  months  ended

          The unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial  statements

          Company's financial  statements will reflect the disposition only from
          the closing date of the disposition.

          The unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
          should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements
          and related notes of the Company.
