Company are described in the notes to the financial statements in its Annual 
Report on form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1996. The financial 
information included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction 
with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in the 
Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996.

    The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

    On December 8, 1995, the Company sold the net assets and related 
operations of Tango Products USA, Inc., a wholly owned and fully consolidated 
subsidiary. Operating results of Tango Products USA, Inc. for the periods
ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 are shown separately in the 
accompanying statement of operations. Except as otherwise noted, all other 
adjustments are of a continuing and recurring nature.

     In February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the
management of Softline Business Systems (Proprietary) Limited ("Softline") to
acquire 100% of Softline for R 7,500,000.00 (US$ 1,927,500 at March 1, 1996).
Management of Softline, which held 15% of the equity in Softline,
simultaneously entered into an agreement to purchase 85% of the outstanding
issued share capital in Softline from Persetel Holdings Limited ("Persetel").
On February 12, 1996, Claudav Holdings B.V., the majority stockholder of SVI
Holdings, Inc. entered into an agreement with Credit Bancorp Limited to
provide financing for the acquisition of Softline. Despite repeated assurances
from Credit Bancorp and affiliated parties, such funding failed to
materialize. In March 1996, funding for the payment of the outstanding
purchase price was provided by a consortium of investors (the "Consortium").
It was agreed between SVI and the consortium that a new company, Softline
Holdings (Proprietary) Limited ("Softline Holdings") would be formed which
would hold 100% of Softline. SVI would hold 50% of the issued share capital of
Softline Holdings with the balance of 50% being held by the Consortium and
Softline management. As payment for its 50% interest in Softline Holdings, SVI 
agreed to provide R 14,250,000 (US$ 3,355,875 at March 31, 1996).

     Although no fixed date was set for the payment of the amount outstanding
for the interest of SVI in Softline, it was agreed that such payment would be
made prior to the listing of Softline on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the
"JSE"). In order to finance the acquisition, SVI entered into various
contracts to secure funding through private placements and secured loans, but
despite the binding nature of such agreements, none of the funding parties
complied with their contractual commitments to provide such funding.

     In August 1996, Softline entered into negotiations for the listing of
Softline on the JSE via the acquisition of Benoni Gold Mining Limited
("Benoni"), a "cash shell" listed on the JSE. In view of the impending listing
of Softline and the fact that the contracted sources for the provisions of 

<PAGE> 6
funding of the acquisition of Softline had failed to materialize, the Company
entered into negotiations with Softline management and the Consortium. As a
result of these negotiations, it was agreed that the Company would provide an
amount of R 9,627,200 (US$ 2,097,767 at September 30, 1996) and the interest
of SVI in Softline would be adjusted to 40.25% of the outstanding common
shares.

     Funding for the amount paid to Softline of R 9,627,200 (US$ 2,097,767 at
September 30, 1996) was raised by the private placement of the Company's
securities and a loan from Sudash (Pty) Ltd ("Sudash") of R 8,280,000
(US$ 1,804,212 at September 30, 1996).

     On February 19, 1997, the acquisition of Benoni was completed and
Softline was listed in the Industrial - Electronics sector of the JSE  as
Softline Limited. In terms of the agreement with the existing shareholders of
Benoni and the exercise of options in Softline, the Company's holding in
Softline was diluted to 29% of the outstanding issued share capital of
Softline Limited amounting to 48,639,000 shares of common stock.

     In April 1997, 26,757,131 shares in Softline Limited were sold realizing
gross proceeds of US$6,724,934. After costs of $1,100,280 relating to the
acquisition and sale of the stock, the net proceeds of $5,597,409 were
utilized for the repayment of the Sudash loan, payment for the outstanding
balance on the note due on the acquisition of Divergent and the acquisition of
Chapman Computers (Pty) Ltd. Subsequent to the sale of these Softline shares,
the Company held under 20% of the outstanding equity in Softline and effective
the quarter ended June 30, 1997, Softline will no longer be accounted for
under the equity method. The market value of the Company's remaining
investment in Softline was approximately $7,500,000 at August 15, 1997.

     Mr. Barry Schechter is a member of the Board of Directors of Softline
serving as a representative of the Company.

     On November 5, 1996, the Company entered into agreements for the
acquisition of Divergent Technologies Pty, Ltd.("Divergent"), an Australian
information technology company. The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding
issued share capital of Divergent comprising 1,500,000 Ordinary shares and
52,500 "E" Class Redeemable Preference shares and the exclusive worldwide
technology rights (the "Technology Rights") for the "dOLPHIN" and "dPOSit"
software products.

     The purchase price for Divergent was A$ 5,177,720 (United States
$4,076,945 at November 5, 1996) and the option to purchase 1,600,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at a price of $1.75 for two years. The Technology
Rights were acquired in exchange for 1,300,000 shares of the common stock of
the Company. The Company financed the acquisition of Divergent by the sale of
a portion of its investment in Softline.

     On March 12, 1997, the "E" Class Redeemable Preference shares were
redeemed for cash and the exchange of 52,383 shares of the Company's common
stock.


    On April 28, 1997, the Company, closed the acquisition of the business of
Chapman Computers (Pty) Ltd ("Chapman") via it's wholly owned subsidiary,
Divergent.

    Pursuant to the agreement dated April 28, 1997, Divergent acquired the
assets, Principal Technology, and Computer Software Programs of Chapman from
Chapman Computers (Pty) Ltd, The Chapman Computers Unit Trust and Colin Bruce
Chapman.

    The purchase price was $1,534,000 of which the Company paid $784,000
(Australian Dollars 1,000,000) in cash. The balance of $750,000 was settled by
the issue of 300,000 shares of the common stock of the Company to the Chapman
Computers Unit Trust. The Shares issued for the acquisition are to be held in
escrow for a period of 3 years from the completion of sale of Chapman to
Divergent.

    Chapman is an Australian company which specializes in providing computer
systems for accounting and management to the retail industry in Australia, New
Zealand and the Pacific Rim.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of operations

    For a discussion of certain risks regarding the Company, see the Risk
Factors section of the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30,
1996.

    For the nine months ended June 30, 1997, revenues from continuing 
operations increased by $ 5,719,927 in comparison with the same period in the 
previous year. This increase is attributable to the acquisition of Divergent
Technologies (Pty) Ltd and Chapman Computers (Pty) Ltd.

    Cost of sales increased relative to sales for the nine months ended
June 30, 1997, in comparison with the same period of the previous year. This
increase is attributable to the acquisition of Divergent and Chapman and
reflects the higher cost of sales inherent in the provision of high-end
computer systems which includes the sale of hardware and components, in
comparison with the sale of training materials.

    Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $ 3,803,506 for 
the nine months ended June 30, 1997 in comparison with $ 744,205 in the nine
months ended June 30, 1996. This increase is attributable to the inclusion of
Divergent and Chapman in the consolidated financial statements for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997.

     The Company's portion of equity in the earnings of Softline amounted to
$348,123 for the nine months ended June 30, 1997. This comprised 40.25% of the
earnings of Softline for the period to February 19, 1996 and 28% of the
earnings of Softline for the period from Februaury 20, 1997 to March 31, 1997.
The Company's interest in Softline was diluted to 29% on the listing of
Softline on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in February 1997. The interest was
further diluted to approximately 19% on the sale of 28,763,000 shares of
Softline Stock realizing gross proceeds of US$6,724,934 which resulted in a
net gain of $3,598,995.

    Foreign income taxes of $402,552 were paid by Divergent in the nine months
ended June 30, 1997. Net operating loss carry forwards available to SVI
Holdings are not available to offset the tax liabilities of the foreign
subsidiary.

    Income from continuing operations of $3,746,192 was earned for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1997, compared with income from continuing operations of
$107,902 for the comparative period of the prior year. The increase in profit
is primarily attributable to the sale of a portion of the company's interest
in Softline.

    In the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the company had a loss from
discontinued operations of $108,084. These losses are attributable to
provisions for loss on recovery of the amounts due from the purchasers of the
businesses of Cabinets Galore, Inc. and Tango Products USA, Inc.

    At the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company had a deferred tax asset
of approximately $780,000 resulting from net operating loss carry forwards,
which has been offset in its entirety by a valuation allowance. These carry
forwards may be used to offset future taxable income, expiring from the year
2005 to 2010.
<PAGE> 10
Financial Condition

    At June 30, 1997, the Company had a working capital surplus of $598,003.
This is an increase in working capital of $2,442,231 from the deficit of
$1,844,228 at September 30, 1996. The increase in working capital is the
result of debts retired which were funded from the sale of the Softline stock 
Management believes that current cash resources should be adequate to provide
for the Company's immediate requirements.

    The operations of the Company have primarily been financed by private
placements of the Company's securities and advances from stockholders. There
is no assurance that these sources of funds will be available in future. In
additional to private placements and advances from stockholders, the Company
intends to utilize the liquidity of its investment in Softline arising from
the listing of Softline on the JSE as an additional source of funds.

PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.
     
    On November 26, 1996, the Company obtained a preliminary injunction in the
United States District Court (Southern District of California) (the "District
Court") against certain defendants, including Park Financial Group, Inc.
("Park Financial"), Edwin Wood, Bank Martinique, Brink, Hudson & LaFever,
Ltd., Walmur & Co., Pacific International Securities, Inc., Union Securities,
Ltd.,  Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., BLB Financial, Inc., Brian Walsh, Brian
Johanson, Luke di Angelo, Gary Robinson, Bear Stearns & Co., Inc., and
Philadelphia Depository Trust Company, in order to prevent the transfer of any
of the two million shares of the Company's common stock that had been
delivered to Park Financial  in contemplation of a loan to be secured by a
pledge of stock. The loan was not funded and the stock should have been
returned to the majority stockholder of the Company.

    The Company has alleged that, the Company's majority stockholder, in the
course of seeking a loan from a prospective lender, transferred a significant
number of the Company's shares held by that majority stockholder to Park
Financial. The shares were to be held in trust by Park Financial until the
loan was funded and then held by Park Financial as a pledge holder. The
Company alleges that Park Financial failed to hold the shares in trust and
instead sold or otherwise transferred the shares to third parties who began to
trade the restricted shares in violation of Park Financial's representations
and obligations to the Company and its majority stockholder.  Based on the
above allegations, the Company has filed a lawsuit in the District Court
against certain of the above defendants for breach of contract, common law
fraud, and conversion, as well as for violations of federal securities
statutes.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities

    On April 28, 1997, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its common stock
in exchange for $750,000 as part of the consideration paid for the acquisition
of certain assets of Chapman Computers (Pty) Ltd ("Chapman"). The Stock was
issued to Chapman, the Chapman Computers Unit Trust and Colin Bruce Chapman.
The stock issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, and Rule 506 or 505 of Regulation D promulgated
thereunder, or Regulation S promulgated thereunder, due to the limited number
of purchasers and the fact that all of the purchasers are residents of
Australia.

     In the quarter ended June 30, 1997, consultant optionees exercised their
right to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging
from $0.75 to $1.75 per share for a total consideration of $1,000,000. An
additional 5,000 options were exercised by an employee optionee at an exercise
price of $0.75 per share for a total consideration of $3,750. The stock
issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, and Rule 506 or 505 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or
Regulation S promulgated thereunder, due to the limited number of purchasers
and the fact that all of the purchasers are foreign residents.
