                  Commodore Holdings Limited and Subsidiaries

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   The Financial Statements for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 included
herein have been prepared by Commodore Holdings Limited (the Company ) and S/S
Enchanted Seas and S/S Enchanted Isle (Operating Units of EffJohn International
B.V. (the "Predecessor") - see note 1a to consolidated financial statements
for year ended September 30, 1995 ) without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All adjustments which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement for the
results of the nine months are included. Certain information and footnote
disclosure normally included in Financial Statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 1995,
contained in the Company's registration statement on Form S-1.

2.   JOINT VENTURE. In November, 1995, the Company entered into a charter
agreement for the S/S Universe Explorer, (formerly the Enchanted Seas) with
Sea-Comm. Sea-Comm in turn has a a space charter with Seawise for the majority
of the year pursuant to which Seawise charters 76% of the berths. The Company's
FMC bond for the Enchanted Seas was allowed to expire and the deposit securing
the bond was released to the Company. Additionally, per the terms of the
agreement with Seawise, $250,000 was paid to the Company and is included in
other income. An additional $90,000 of Other Income was earned as a result of
the sale of casino equipment that is no longer required on the vessel during her
current charter.

3.   CREDIT CARD ESCROW. The Company's credit card processor, in February 1996,
began the establishment of a chargeback reserve account. The amount of this
reserve, which earns interest for the Company's account, will equal up to 9% of
six months of the Company's Visa/ Mastercard deposits. At June 30, 1996 the
balance of the escrow totaled $438,704 and is included in Restricted Cash.

4.   During the three months ended June 30, 1996 the Company paid a dividend to
the holders of its Series A Preference Shares. The Company issued an additional
6,979 Series A Preference Shares in partial payment of the dividend and paid, in
cash, an additional $31,154.

5.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. On July 27, 1996, the Universe Explorer had a fire
on-board which resulted in the death of five crew members and loss of revenue.
The amount of potential loss is indeterminable at this time. Management believes
that material losses by passenger and crew, damage to the hull and machinery of
the vessel and loss of hire will be covered by its insurance policies, subject
to applicable deductibles. 

     On July 16, 1996 the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company's
common stock and warrants began trading on the NASDAQ National Market. Pursuant
to the Registration Statement, the Company sold 500,000 shares of common stock
and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock. In accordance with the
Company's Preference Share agreement, the redemption rights of the preferred
shareholders terminated when the Company's common stock was first listed on
NASDAQ. As a result of the completion of the offering, the Company has applied
retroactive treatment to the preferred shares and reflected the preferred shares
as part of stockholders' equity at June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995. On
August 16, 1996 the Underwriter exercised its over-allotment option and
purchased an additional 150,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase
75,000 shares of common stock from the Company.

Item 2.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL

     The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1995
are of the Predecessor. These results may not be representative of the Company's
future performance due to the different manner in which the Predecessor and the
Company report expenses and the different number of ships operated and
itineraries served by the Predecessor and the Company. In addition, in the first
nine months of fiscal 1995, the Predecessor operated the Enchanted Seas on the
New Orleans itinerary. In the first nine months of fiscal 1996, the Company
operated the Enchanted Isle on this route. Although these two ships were built
as sister ships, and are similar, they are not identical either with respect to
number of cabins or costs of operation. As a result, a comparison of their
results from operations may not be meaningful.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 

     Revenues increased by $6,582,542 or 43.4% for the quarter ending June 30,
1996 compared to the quarter ending June 30, 1995, primarily due to the Company
having two vessels in service for the quarter ending June 30, 1996 as compared
to only one vessel being operated by the Predecessor for the quarter ending June
30, 1995.

     The Company's operating expenses decreased by $4,441,085 or 87.8% for the
three months ending June 30, 1996 compared to the three months ending June 30,
1995, primarily due to lower operating costs for the Company's semester at sea
program and the additional costs associated with the termination by the
Predecessor, of its Barbados cruise operation in April, 1995.

     The Company's marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased by
$6,500,438 or 58.1% for the quarter ending June 30, 1996 compared to the
quarter ending June 30, 1995, primarily due to the Company having two vessels
in service for the quarter ending June 30, 1996 as compared to only one vessel
being operated by the Predecessor for the quarter ending June 30, 1995.

     The Company's depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $482,334
or 117.9% for the three months ending June 30, 1996 compared to the three months
ending June 30, 1995 due to the differences in the cost bases of the Company's
vessels ($53,839,340 for the Predecessor as of July 15, 1995; $32,272,960 for
the Company as of September 30, 1995) and the useful lives of the ships (15
years for the Predecessor and 18 years for the Company).

 NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 

      Revenues increased by $8,150,676 or 31.1% for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1995, primarily due to
the Company's profitable joint venture for the Universe Explorer in fiscal 1996
as compared to the unprofitable Barbados cruise operation, which commenced in
January 1995 and ended in April 1995. Included in the fiscal 1996 revenues are
non-recurring charter cancellation fees of $425,000.

     The Company's operating expenses decreased by $8,676,298 or 31.3% for the
first nine months of fiscal 1996 compared to the first nine months of fiscal
1996, primarily due to lower operating costs for the Company's semester at sea
program and and the additional costs associated with the termination by the
Predecessor, of its Barbados cruise operation in April, 1995.

     The Company's marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased
by $4,658,429 or 58.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 compared to the
first nine months of fiscal 1995 due to Commodore Cruise Lines Limited (the
entity from which the Company acquired the Enchanted Isle and Universe Explorer,
hereafter "Old Commodore") having operated up to five ships during this period.
As a result, administration and marketing expenses were commingled and allocated
to the Predecessor based on the number of traffic days of all of Old Commodore's
ships. As the Company operates fewer ships its marketing and selling expenses
are higher.

     The Company's depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 
$1,642,376 or 61.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 compared to the
first nine months of fiscal 1995, due to the differences in the cost bases of
the Company's vessels ($53,839,340 for the Predecessor as of July 15, 1995;
$32,272,960 for the Company as of September 30, 1995) and the useful lives of
the ships (15 years for the Predecessor and 18 years for the Company).

     The Predecessor incurred a loss of $1,367,347 due to a fire aboard the 
Enchanted Isle during the nine months ended June 30, 1995. This also had a
negative impact on the selling and marketing of the Barbados itinerary.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's working capital deficiency was $4,539,854 and $916,161 at
June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, respectively. The Company's working
capital deficit at June 30, 1996 was primarily due to the inclusion, in
non-current assets, of a $4,629,000 deposit securing the Company's FMC bond. The
corresponding liability, customer deposits, is included in current liabilities.
The other increases in working capital at June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995
were the result of cash flow provided by operations, and particularly the
$425,000 in income from the cancellation of the charter agreement.

     Cash flows from operations provided $6,234,004 for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996, and cash flows from operations used $2,432,293 for the first nine
months of 1995. Cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 consisted
primarily of increases in customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.

     At June 30, 1996 the Company owed $24,313,596 to the Company's lender. The
loan is secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and bears
interest at Libor plus 2%.
