That Stock was purchased in closings that occurred on December 22, 2000, January 11, 2001 and February 13, 2001 (the "Closings").
In connection with the Agreement, the Issuer issued to the Reporting Persons warrants (the "Warrants") representing the right to purchase one-half share of Stock per each share of Stock purchased by the Reporting Persons pursuant to the Agreement. Each Warrant is currently exercisable and expires two years from the date of the Closing at which it was issued.

Recently, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer resigned. Mr. Simmons and other representatives of ICM have had discussions with members of the Issuer's Board of Directors and with other shareholders regarding the departure of those officers and the future direction of the Issuer. Mr. Simmons and other representatives of ICM may in the future have additional discussions with senior management of the Issuer concerning various operational and financial aspects of the Issuer's business. Mr. Simmons and other representatives of ICM may also have future discussions with other shareholders concerning various alternative ways of maximizing long-term shareholder value. In addition, the Reporting Persons may solicit indications of interest from potential purchasers of the Issuer and may retain an investment banking firm to assist them and to explore ways of maximizing long-term shareholder value.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION
The undersigned, _____________________ (the "Holder"), intends to acquire shares of Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of SVI Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") from the Company pursuant to the exercise or conversion of a Warrant to purchase Common Stock held by the Holder. The Common Stock will be issued to the Holder in a transaction not involving a public offering and pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws. In connection with such purchase and in order to comply with the exemptions from registration relied upon by the Company, the Holder represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Holder is acquiring the Common Stock for its own account, to hold for investment, and the Holder shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act or the General Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission or in violation of any applicable state securities law.
(b) The Holder has been advised that the Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws on the ground that this transaction is exempt from registration, and that reliance by the Company on such exemptions is predicated in part on the Holder's representations set forth herein.
(c) The Holder has been informed that under the Securities Act, the Common Stock must be held indefinitely unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144) is available with respect to any proposed transfer or disposition by the Holder of the Common Stock. The Holder further agrees that the Company may refuse to permit the Holder to sell, transfer or dispose of the Common Stock (except as permitted under Rule 144) unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws covering such transfer, or unless the Holder furnishes an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company to the effect that such registration-is not required.
The Holder also understands and agrees that there will be placed on the certificate(s) for the Common Stock or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws. These shares have been acquired for investment purposes and may not be sold or otherwise transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement for these shares under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required and that an applicable exemption is available."

The Common Stock will be issued to the Holder in a transaction not involving a public offering and pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and applicable state securities laws. In connection with such purchase and in order to comply with the exemptions from registration relied upon by the Company, the Holder represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
(a) The Holder is acquiring the Common Stock for its own account, to hold for investment, and the Holder shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act or the General Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission or in violation of any applicable state securities law.
(b) The Holder has been advised that the Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws on the ground that this transaction is exempt from registration, and that reliance by the Company on such exemptions is predicated in part on the Holder's representations set forth herein.
(c) The Holder has been informed that under the Securities Act, the Common Stock must be held indefinitely unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144) is available with respect to any proposed transfer or disposition by the Holder of the Common Stock. The Holder further agrees that the Company may refuse to permit the Holder to sell, transfer or dispose of the Common Stock (except as permitted under Rule 144) unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws covering such transfer, or unless the Holder furnishes an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to counsel for the Company to the effect that such registration-is not required.
The Holder also understands and agrees that there will be placed on the certificate(s) for the Common Stock or any substitutions therefor, a legend stating in substance:
"The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws. These shares have been acquired for investment purposes and may not be sold or otherwise transferred in the absence of an effective registration statement for these shares under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required and that an applicable exemption is available."
