                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)

Note A - Organization and Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the
unaudited records of SVI Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 1999 and for all the periods
presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. Accounting policies followed by the Company are
described in the notes to the financial statements in its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 1999. 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 year ended March 31, 1999.

The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.


Note B - Acquisitions and Related Parties

Effective April 1, 1999, the Company acquired Island Pacific Systems Corporation
("Island Pacific"), a California corporation, for $35 million cash. The Company
also entered into three-year non-compete agreements with some of Island
Pacific's principals. The acquisition was funded by cash on hand; cash acquired
from the sale of IBIS Systems Ltd.; approximately $4 million paid by Softline
Ltd., a majority stockholder, upon exercise of options; a $2.3 million loan from
Claudav Holdings Ltd., B.V., a major stockholder, with no stated maturity date
and with interest at prime rate; and two bank loans. The first bank loan is in
the amount of $15 million with interest-only payments at the bank's prime rate
plus .25% for the first six months, convertible thereafter to a fully-amortizing
two-year loan. The second loan is in the amount of $3.5 million and is a fully
amortizing two-year loan with interest at the bank's prime rate plus .50%.

Island Pacific, founded in 1977, is based in Irvine, California, and develops
and markets retail industry merchandising and management software systems.
Island Pacific's software automates the full scope of a retailer's operations
from inventory planning and purchasing through distribution and final sale of
goods. Island Pacific's products have been licensed to over 245 clients
worldwide.

The Company is in the process of determining the appropriate values to be
assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of
Island Pacific. Accordingly, the Company's estimate of these values are subject
to revision upon the completion of the Company's evaluation which may result in
an adjustment to the current values assigned to such assets and liabilities.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of continuing operations
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 assume the Island Pacific acquisition
occurred as of April 1, 1998. The pro forma results are not necessarily
indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisition
been completed as of the beginning of the period presented, nor are they
necessarily indicative of future consolidated results.

Systems Ltd. ("IBIS"), for cash proceeds of $2,250,000, surrender of Company
common stock valued at $2,142,000 and a note receivable of $13,608,000. The
sale, which was recorded in the year ended March 31, 1999, resulted in a gain of

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

SVI Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is a provider of computer and information
technology services to specialty industries in domestic and international
markets. More recently, the Company has narrowed its focus to two distinct
portions of the information industry:

     o    Open architecture point of sale and retail management computer
          systems, and
     o    PC education courseware and computer skills assessment products.

The Company is a holding company and operates solely through its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. The Company currently has five major operating subsidiaries which
offer products and services in the following businesses: point of sale and
retail management computer systems and PC courseware and skills assessment
products.

Acquisition

Effective April 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Island Pacific Systems Corporation ("Island Pacific"). Island Pacific, founded
in 1977, is based in Irvine, California, and develops and markets retail
industry merchandising and management software systems primarily in United
States and the United Kingdom. The Company paid the purchase price of $35
million cash using cash on hand; cash acquired from sale of IBIS Systems, Ltd.;
approximately $4 million paid by its majority stockholder upon exercise of
options; a $2.3 million loan from a major stockholder; and two bank loans. The
bank loans are secured by the shares of the Company's subsidiaries. The first
bank loan is in the amount of $15 million with interest only payments for the
first six months, convertible thereafter to a fully-amortizing two-year loan.
The second loan is in the amount of $3.5 million and is fully amortizing over
two years. The secured loans bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus .25%
and .50%, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company sold its United Kingdom operations, IBIS
Systems Ltd., for cash proceeds of $2,250,000, surrender of Company common stock
valued at $2,142,000 and a note receivable of $13,608,000. The sale resulted in
a gain of $274,055, net of applicable income taxes of $753,043, which was
recorded in the year ended March 31, 1999. Accordingly, the operating results of
IBIS for the three months ended June 30, 1998 are restated as discontinued
operations.

NET INCOME

The Company reports consolidated net income of $1,615,000 and $2,116,000 for the
comparative quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The Company believes that
operational growth should be measured exclusive of discontinued operations,
income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. These elements
have grown substantially through recent disposals, acquisitions and debt and
have a significant impact on the net income reported. Excluding income of
$1,600,000 from discontinued operations for the quarter ended June 30, 1998,
income from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense,
depreciation and amortization are $4,251,000 and $1,379,000 for the quarters
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. This represents an operational
growth of $2,872,000 or 208% over the comparative quarter in the prior year.
This operational level growth is due largely to the acquisition of Island
Pacific effective April 1, 1999.

NET SALES

Net sales from continuing operations increased from $4,245,000 to $11,767,000
for the comparative quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1999. This increase of
$7,522,000 or 177% is related directly to the inclusion in net sales of
$9,365,000 contributed from Island Pacific, Applied Retail Solutions, Inc.
("ARS") and Triple-S Pty. Ltd. ("Triple-S") which were all acquired after June
30, 1998. This increase is offset by a decline in net sales of $1,985,000 from
Divergent Technologies Pty. Ltd. ("Divergent") resulting from the completion of
several large contracts in the comparative period. The significant growth in net
sales is firmly based on acquisitions made by the Company since June 30, 1998.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were $3,549,000 and
$887,000, respectively. The increase of $2,662,000 or 300% resulted from
increases in related net sales and a change in accounting policy that now
assigns to cost of sales certain labor costs previously included in sales,
general and administrative expense.


GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit from operations increased from $3,358,000 at June 30, 1998 to
$8,218,000 at June 30, 1999. The respective gross profit percentage of net
sales, however, declined from 79% in the prior comparative period to 70% at June
30, 1999. This decline in gross profit percentage results from a change in
accounting policy that now assigns to cost of sales certain labor costs
previously included in sales, general and administrative expense.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 were
$615,000 or 5% of net sales. There were no costs in the comparative period.
Research and development expense is composed primarily of labor and material
costs that the Company has chosen to directly expense. Research and development
costs were not a significant element in prior periods, however, the Company has
commenced an active research and development program to expedite the
introduction of new software products and expects this number to increase in
future periods.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1999 were $3,816,000 compared to $2,207,000 for the same period ended June 30,
1998. This increase of $1,609,000 or 73% is related to the rapid expansion in
operations and the significant effort extended to complete the acquisition of
Island Pacific Systems Corporation and reorganize the Company. This
reorganization has led to a significant increase in U.S. based revenue and
significant cost savings through consolidated development efforts. Selling,
general and administrative expense declined as a percentage of net sales from
52% to 32% for the three month periods ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1999
respectively. This change is due partially to a change in accounting policy that
assigns to cost of sales certain elements previously included in selling,
general and administrative expense and also reflects the Company's increased
ability to absorb these expenses as a function of the expansion in consolidated
operations.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

Depreciation and amortization expense, increased from $433,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 to $1,553,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This
increase of $1,120,000 or 259% is directly related to the acquisition by the
Company of Island Pacific, ARS and Triple-S. All of the acquisitions were
subsequent to June 30, 1998 and reflect significant additions to owned
technology and intangible assets. While this impact was negligible in the prior
comparative period, it has a significant negative impact on earnings for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999.


<PAGE>


BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were
$0.05 and $0.08 per share, respectively. The basic earnings per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998 included $0.06 per share for income from
discontinued operations. The basic earnings per share for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 included a loss of $0.08 and $0.03 per share, respectively,
for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding
discontinued operations and these expenses, the basic earnings per share
increased by $0.08 per share to $0.13 per share for the quarter ended June 30,
1999 from $0.05 per share for the comparable quarter in 1998.

DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were
$0.05 and $0.07 per share, respectively. The quarter ended June 30, 1998 diluted
earnings per share included $0.05 per share for income from discontinued
operations. The diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
and 1998 included a loss of $0.07 and $0.02 per share, respectively, for income
taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization expenses. Excluding the
discontinued operations and these expenses, the diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations increased by $0.08 per share to $0.12 per share for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 from $0.04 per share for the comparable period
in 1998.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1999, the Company had cash of $1,632,000, a decrease of $11,374,000
from $13,006,000 of cash at March 31, 1999. The decrease is due to the
acquisition of Island Pacific for a net cash payment of $33,657,000. Additional
cash for the acquisition came from two bank loans producing net cash proceeds of
$18,392,000, and a $2,300,000 loan from a major stockholder. The Company also
received $4,926,000 from stock options exercised during the quarter ended June
30, 1999, of which $3,989,000 from stock options exercised by the majority
stockholder.

The Company has $1,660,000 of lines of credit to support cash management. The
Company will use operating income to discharge the payments due on the loans and
lines of credit. The Company expects to apply the $13,608,000 due on October 1,
1999 from the purchaser of IBIS to the bank debt. The Company believes it has
sufficient cash to meet its working capital needs for the next twelve months.

The Company expects to continue its strategy of seeking selected acquisition
opportunities within its target profile of companies with advanced technologies
and market leadership in the retail software sector of information technology
market. There is a risk that such acquisition opportunities may not be available
on terms acceptable to the Company, or that any such acquisitions may not
ultimately be consummated. To the extent that the terms of any such acquisitions
call for payment in cash, the Company will likely need to seek an outside source
of capital. The Company has not identified any sources for such capital, and
there can be no guarantee that such capital will be available on terms
acceptable to the Company or at all.


Year 2000 Software Compliance ("Millennium bug")

Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept only two digit entries in the date code field and connot distinguish 21st
century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, software and computer
systems, including machines controlled by microprocessors, may need to be
upgraded or replaced in order to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements.

In general, the Company's operating subsidiaries develop and sell software
developed internally. The Company believes that no significant Year 2000 issues
exist with these products and services. However, some of the Company's customers
may not install the Year 2000 complaint versions of the Company's products in a
timely manner, which could lead to failure of customer systems and product
liability or warranty claims against the Company.

Although the Company believes that its systems are generally Year 2000
compliant, the Company utilizes third-party equipment and software that may not
be Year 2000 compliant. For this reason, the Company has implemented a four step
plan to address its Year 2000 issues, consisting of (i) assessing Year 2000
readiness; (ii) remediating non-compliant hardware and software; (iii) testing
remediated hardware and software; and (iv) certifying Year 2000 compliance.
Personnel from each operating subsidiary as well as outside consultants have

<PAGE>


been involved in the process. Senior management of the Company is coordinating
the effort. Assessment activities are estimated at approximately 98% complete.
Assessment data is continuously updated as new information becomes available.
Overall remediation efforts are estimated at 90% complete. The Company believes
it has adequate resources to complete these efforts, and anticipates completion
of all assessment and remediation efforts by September 30, 1999.

Communications with customers and suppliers to determine their Year 2000
preparedness are an integral part of the program. The Company's subsidiaries
have reviewed all vendor contracts and have requested written certification from
each vendor that its products are Year 2000 compliant. The Company has received
replies from approximately 90% of its vendors.

The Company estimates its Year 2000 remediation effort will cost $250,000
including costs incurred to date. The Company does not believe that the cost of
Year 2000 remediation will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations. The estimated impact,
cost and timing of the Company's Year 2000 effort is based on the Company's best
estimates using information currently available. These estimates may not be
achieved, and actual results could differ materially from the Company's plans.

In the event that any of the Company's significant suppliers or customers do not
successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, the Company's business or
operations could be adversely affected. This could result in system failures or
generation of erroneous information and could cause significant disruption of
business activities. In the event the Company does not fully identify and
correct all Year 2000 problems in the products marketed by its subsidiaries,
those subsidiaries could become subject to warranty claims or returns, which
could have adverse effect on financial performance. Moreover, the Company's
subsidiaries could become subject to warranty claims, with or without merit,
returns and/or increased customer support expenses if the computer systems of
customer are not able to integrate the Company's products due to customers'
internal Year 2000 problems.

The former shareholders of ARS have represented that ARS's express written
warranties to customers concerning Year 2000 compliance for ARS's products and
services are accurate, and such shareholders have agreed to indemnify the
Company in the event this representation proves not to be accurate, up to the
full value of the consideration paid by the Company in the acquisition of ARS.
The former shareholders of Island Pacific have made similar warranties and have
agreed to indemnify the Company for any breach of those warranties (subject to a
$1 million limitation on indemnification). The Company has no similar guarantees
with respect to its other operating subsidiaries.

The Company intends as part of the certification process to have each of its
operating subsidiaries perform a Year 2000 "dry run", where the dates on all
computers and microprocessor-controlled equipment are set ahead to a date within
the year 2000, and the Company hopes that the dry run will identify any
remaining internal Year 2000 issues before problems occur. These procedures will
not however identify external Year 2000 problems.


PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.           Legal Proceedings

In September 1998, ALT Consulting, LLC ("ALT") filed a complaint against Island
Pacific in the Orange County Superior Court (the "ALT Litigation") asserting
claims for breach of contract and of the implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing, negligent and intentional misrepresentation, promissory fraud and
declaratory relief arising out of a software consulting contract. Island Pacific
has answered the complaint and filed a cross-complaint against ALT and its
principal member asserting claims for rescission, breach of contract and of the
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty,
intentional and negligent misrepresentation, promissory fraud, misappropriation
of trade secrets and conversion. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into
by the Company to acquire Island Pacific, the Company will provide the selling
shareholders of Island Pacific with reasonable assistance and authority to
defend and prosecute the ALT Litigation and contribute a maximum of $200,000 to
costs and damages arising from the ALT Litigation. The Island Pacific selling
shareholders are obligated to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from all
other claims, damages or losses arising from the ALT Litigation.
