Financial statements
for the year ended 30 April 1996


Directors responsibilities for preparing the financial statements

The directors are obliged under company law to prepare financial statements
for each financial year and to present them annually to the company's members
in annual general meeting.

The financial statements, of which the form and content is prescribed by the
Companies Act 1985, must give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the company at the end of the financial year, and of the result for that year,
and they must comply with applicable accounting standards.

The directors are also responsible for the adoption of suitable accounting
policies, their consistent use in the financial statements, supported where
necessary by reasonable and prudent judgements.  After making enquiries the
directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 
For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing
the financial statements.

The directors confirm that the above requirements have been complied with in
the financial statements.

In addition, the directors are responsible for maintaining adequate accounting
records and sufficient internal controls to safeguard the assets of the
company and to prevent and detect fraud or any other irregularities.

Ibis Service Limited

Auditors report to the members


We have audited the financial statements on pages 4 to 11.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

As described on page 2 of the financial statements, the company's directors
are responsible for the preparation of financial statements.  It is our
responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on those
statements and to report our opinion to you.

Basis of opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards issued by the
Auditing Practices Board.

An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  It also includes an
assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors
in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting
policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently applied
and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error.

In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the
presentation of information in the financial statements.

Opinion

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of the company's affairs at 30th April 1996 and of its result and total
recognised gains for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in
accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1985 applicable to small
companies.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 30 April 1996

   1.Accounting policies
     Accounting conventions
     The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
     convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
     The directors have taken advantage of the exemption available to small    
     companies under Financial Reporting Standard No.1, consequently no cash   
     flow statement has been prepared.

     Turnover
     This represents the invoiced amounts of goods sold and services 
     provided, net of value added tax. Income in respect of maintenance        
     contracts is credited to the income account in the year in which the      
     invoice is raised.

     Depreciation of tangible assets
     Provision is made for depreciation on all tangible assets at rates
     calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual    
     value, of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows :-

     Leasehold improvements:     over the term of the lease
     Furniture and fittings:     20% per annum on cost

     Stocks
     Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net
     realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow 
     moving items.

     Deferred taxation
     Provision is made by the liability method for all timing differences      
     which are expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future.

     Leases
     All assets held under lease purchase contracts are capitalised at the     
     date the contract is entered into and reflected within tangible fixed     
     assets. The corresponding obligation to pay future rentals is shown       
     within both current and non-current liabilities. Costs in respect of all  
     other leases are charged in arriving at the operating profit.

     Pensions
     The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  Premiums     
     paid during the year have been charged to the profit and loss account.

   2.Turnover
     The turnover and pre-tax loss/profit are wholly attributable to the
     company's main activity. An analysis of turnover by geographical market   
     is given below:-

Ibis Service Limited
Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 30 April 1997

   1.Accounting policies
     Accounting conventions
     The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost     
     convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
     The directors have taken advantage of the exemption available to small    
     companies under Financial Reporting Standard No.1, consequently no cash   
     flow statement has been prepared.

     Turnover
     This represents the invoiced amounts of goods sold and services 
     provided, net of value added tax. Income in respect of maintenance        
     contracts is credited to the income account in the year in which the      
     invoice is raised.

     Depreciation of tangible assets
     Provision is made for depreciation on all tangible assets at rates        
     calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual    
     value, of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows :-

     Leasehold improvements:     over the term of the lease
     Furniture and fittings:     20% per annum on cost

     Stocks
     Stock and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net        
     realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow 
     moving items.

     Deferred taxation
     Provision is made by the liability method for all timing differences      
     which are expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future.

     Leases
     All assets held under lease purchase contracts ae capitalised at the 
     date the contract is entered into and reflected within tangible fixed     
     assets.  The corresponding obligation to pay future rentals is shown      
     within both current and non-current liabilities. Costs in respect of all  
     other leases are charged in arriving at the operating profit.

     Pensions
     The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  Premiums     
     paid during the year have been charged to the profit and loss account.

   2.Turnover
     The turnover and pre-tax loss/profit are wholly attributable to the       
     company=s main activity. An analysis of turnover by geographical market

 D Chapman was acquired at 4/1/97.  Within this proforma they
   are fully consolidated with SVI Holdings, Inc. for the period
   4/1/97 to 9/30/97.  The Chapman column presents the company's 
   activity for the period 10/1/96 to 3/31/97.

   the cash position of SVI Holdings, Inc. would have been significantly
   greater for the full year.  No assumptions are made herein regarding
   debt reduction or interest earnings as a result of the increase in cash.
