As of the record date, there were 19,194,280 shares of our common stock outstanding, which is the only class of our voting securities issued and outstanding. Each share of our common stock outstanding on the record date will be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters to come before the Annual Meeting.

Proxies submitted which contain votes withheld in the election of directors, abstentions or broker non-votes will be deemed present at the Annual Meeting in determining the presence of a quorum.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting will be required (i) to elect each director (Proposal 1) and (ii) to ratify the appointment of Rachlin LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 (Proposal 2). Abstentions, broker non-votes and votes not otherwise cast at the Annual Meeting will not be counted for the purpose of determining the outcome of the vote on Proposals 1 and 2.

Our Board of Directors has unanimously recommended a vote FOR each nominee named in the Proxy and FOR Proposal 2 .

It is important that your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting, and, therefore, all stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

Unless otherwise specified, all proxies received will be voted FOR the election of all nominees named herein to serve as directors and FOR the other proposal set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and described below. A proxy may be revoked at any time before its exercise by delivering written notice of revocation to our Secretary, by executing a proxy bearing a later date or by attendance at the Annual Meeting and electing to vote in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting without voting in person will not constitute revocation of a proxy.

Exhibits to the Form 10-K will be furnished without charge to any stockholder so requesting by writing to Corporate Secretary, Silverstar Holdings, Ltd., 1900 Glades Road, Suite 435, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.

Independence of the Board of Directors

As required under the Nasdaq Stock Market (“ Nasdaq ”) listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s Board of Directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the Board of Directors. Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior management and its independent auditors, the Board of Directors has determined that all of our directors are independent directors within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq listing standards, except for Clive Kabatznik.

Board Meetings and Committees

Our Board of Directors is responsible for our overall management. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our Board of Directors held six meetings and acted by unanimous written consent four times. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of all meetings of our Board of Directors and committees on which such director served which were held during the year.

Our Board of Directors has a separate audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee. The audit committee is currently composed of Michael Levy, Edward Roffman and Cornelius J. Roodt, each of whom are independent directors as defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”). Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Roodt meets the standards of an audit committee “financial expert” as defined by the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. Following the Annual Meeting it is anticipated that the audit committee will be composed of Michael Levy, Cornelius Roodt and Edward Roffman.

The audit committee is responsible for annually selecting and retaining our independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of the audit engagement and establishing and monitoring our financial policies and control procedures. The specific functions and responsibilities of the audit committee are set forth in an Audit Committee Charter adopted by our Board of Directors, a copy of which was included as Appendix A hereto. The audit committee met four times during fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

The compensation committee is currently composed of Michael Levy and Edward Roffman. These persons are intended to be non-employee directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3)(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Following the Annual Meeting it is anticipated that the compensation committee will be composed of Michael Levy and Edward Roffman.

The compensation committee has power and authority with respect to all matters pertaining to compensation payable and the administration of employee benefits, deferred compensation and our stock option plans. We do not have a formal Compensation Committee Charter. The compensation committee met twice during fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

The Company’s nominating committee is currently composed of Douglas Brisotti and Edward Roffman, each of whom are independent directors as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASAQ’s listing standards. Following the Annual Meeting it is anticipated that the nominating committee will be composed of Edward Roffman and Edward Bernstein.

The function of the nominating committee is to consider and recommend to our Board of Directors candidates for appointment or election as directors. The specific functions and responsibilities of the nominating committee are set forth in a written charter of the nominating committee adopted by our Board of Directors, a copy of which was included as Appendix b hereto.

A nominee to our Board of Directors must have such experience in business or financial matters as would make such nominee an asset to our Board of Directors. In recommending director candidates, our nominating committee takes into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate based on our current needs. These factors may include: professional and personal ethics and integrity; business, professional, or industry knowledge and contacts; business and financial sophistication, common sense and wisdom, and the ability to make informed judgments on a wide range of issues; relevant skills and experience demonstrated through business, professional, charitable or civic affairs; the ability to exercise independent judgment; and the candidate’s ability to devote the required time and effort to serve on our Board of Directors.

The nominating committee will consider for nomination candidates recommended by stockholders if the stockholders comply with the following requirements: the stockholder must submit in writing to the nominating committee the recommended candidate’s name, a brief resume setting forth the recommended candidate’s business, educational background, qualifications for service, and any other information relating to such nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and a notarized consent signed by the recommended candidate stating the recommended candidate’s willingness to be nominated and to serve. This information must be delivered to our nominating committee at our address and must be received in a timely manner as specified in our proxy statements (these timing requirements are not applicable to persons nominated by or at the direction of our Board of Directors). The timing requirements with respect to next year’s annual meeting are described in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Stockholder Proposals.” The nominating committee may request further information if it determines a potential candidate may be an appropriate nominee. The nomination of Edward Bernstein for election as a director was recommended and approved by the nominating committee.

The nominating committee met once during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has reviewed Silverstar’s audited financial statements for the last fiscal year and discussed them with management.

Silverstar’s independent registered public accounting firm, Rachlin LLP (“ Rachlin ”), has discussed with the Audit Committee the quality, in their judgment, as well as the acceptability of Silverstar’s accounting principles as applied in its financial reporting. Rachlin, the Audit Committee and management have discussed matters such as the consistency, clarity and completeness of accounting policies and disclosures, the reasonableness of significant judgments and accounting estimates, significant audit adjustments, and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards.

Rachlin has discussed with the Audit Committee and has disclosed to the Audit Committee, in writing, all relationships between Rachlin and its related entities and Silverstar and its related entities that, in RCH’s professional judgment, may be reasonably thought to bear on independence and has confirmed that in its professional judgment, Rachlin is independent of Silverstar within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Audit Committee, based on the review and discussions described above, has recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in Silverstar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Any stockholder who wishes to send communications to our Board of Directors should mail them addressed to the intended recipient by name or position in care of: Corporate Secretary, Silverstar Holdings, Ltd., 1900 Glades Road, Suite 435, Boca Raton, FL 33431. Upon receipt of any such communications, the Corporate Secretary will determine the identity of the intended recipient and whether the communication is an appropriate stockholder communication. The Corporate Secretary will send all appropriate stockholder communications to the intended recipient. An “appropriate stockholder communication” is a communication from a person claiming to be a stockholder in the communication, and the subject of which relates solely to the sender’s interest as a stockholder and not to any other personal or business interest.

In the case of communications addressed to our Board of Directors, the Corporate Secretary will send appropriate stockholder communications to the Chairman of the Board. In the case of communications addressed to the independent or outside directors, the Corporate Secretary will send appropriate stockholder communications to the Chairman of the audit committee. In the case of communications addressed to committees of the Board, the Corporate Secretary will send appropriate stockholder communications to the chairman of such committee.

Our Board of Directors encourages all of its members to attend our annual meeting of stockholders so that each director may listen to any concerns that stockholders may have that are raised at the annual meeting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and furnish copies of those reports to us. Based solely on a review of the copies of the reports furnished to us to date, or written representations that no reports were required, we believe that all reports required to be filed by such persons with respect to our fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were timely made.

Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to all of our directors, executive officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available upon request to the Corporate Secretary, Silverstar Holdings, Ltd., 1900 Glades Road, Suite 435, Boca Raton, FL 33431.

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis

General Philosophy and Objectives

Our executive compensation policies are intended to attract, motivate and retain key executives of superior ability. Our main objectives are to reward individuals for their contributions to our performance and provide them with a stake in our long-term success. Compensation programs for our executives are constructed in an effort to reward them, in the short-term, for individual performance and overall corporate performance through a combination of base salary, discretionary bonuses, and commission compensation for those individuals whose primary duties and responsibilities are the sale of our product offerings, and in the longer-term, by tying a portion of their compensation directly to the performance of our common stock.

Compensation Process

Our Compensation Committee, comprised of Michael Levy and Edward Roffman, reviews and expressly approves the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, and as we hire them in the future will do so for our other executive officers. For fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee reviewed and approved the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer whose compensation is fixed under an employment contract dated January 2005. Our Board of Directors, without the participation of any interested member of the Board, approves the grant of stock options and any other awards under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, and approves the terms and conditions of any employment, severance, “change of control” or other written employment agreement with any of our executive officers.

Elements of Compensation

The primary elements of executive compensation for our executive officers are as follows:

•

Annual base salary;

•

Bonus compensation, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee;

•

A long-term incentive component, generally consisting of the grant of stock options, also in the discretion of the Board of Directors; and

•

Perquisites and other benefits.

We do not objectively allocate compensation between currently paid and long-term compensation, or between cash and non-cash compensation, and no specific benchmarks or other quantitative measures typically are used. Instead, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that they should be able to maintain an overall objective of attracting, motivating and retaining our key executives while at the same time preserving discretion to increase or decrease variable compensation on a year-to-year basis depending on individual and corporate performance, or, in fact, not to pay any suchcompensation in any particular year if that is considered appropriate.

Base Salary . Base salary provides an executive with his basic compensation. It is intended to reflect the skill, experience, and overall value an individual brings to our business, as well as the individual’s length of service and historic performance. The base salary for our Chief Executive Officer, as discussed below, is set by the terms of his employment agreement. The Board has retained the discretion to increase those base salary levels in its discretion. Annual reviews are typically made of the base salary of the Chief Executive Officer, and annual adjustments made if adjustments are considered necessary. However, when warranted by business considerations, such as profitability, gross margin levels, and/or cash flow considerations, among others, annual adjustments may either be delayed, or may not be made.

Bonuses . Cash bonuses are awarded on a discretionary basis. Bonuses in the past have occasionally been based on gross profit or profitability goals and performance metrics. However, we generally believe factors that an objective performance metric may not permit, or to award available bonus dollars to those individuals whose contributions to a particular achievement merit special recognition. Cash bonuses are intended to reward the loyalty of our executives, provide incentive for a positive performance, and communicate to our executives that when individual and collective efforts result in positive corporate performance, their performance will be rewarded.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation : The long-term component of our executive compensation is designed to provide a commonality of interests between our executives and our stockholders. In the past, we have utilized stock options as the primary method of providing long-term and equity-based compensation. Grants under our 2004 and 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, along with annual bonuses, are the primary methods used to provide long-term motivation to our executives, and to allow them to participate in the growth of the Company through increases in the price of our shares of common stock, thereby linking their interests with those of our stockholders. The 2004 and 2007 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, of stock options, and restricted stock awards. The Board of Directors may, in connection with the grant of each option or award, establish one or more objective criteria (which may include reference to revenues, margin, profits or other goals) to determine whether the options or awards vest or otherwise will become exercisable, and/or whether any amounts will become payable.

Other than those disclosed in the executive compensation table, no options or other awards were granted in fiscal 2007 to our executives.

Perquisites and Other Benefits . We structure our other compensation to provide competitive benefit packages to our executives. We often offer perquisites to certain of our executives, primarily automobile allowances. We have used these benefits as a retention tool and as a relatively inexpensive method of rewarding our executives, particularly when it is viewed as a part of our overall compensation program that relies in great part on the discretion of the Board of Directors and the Executive Compensation Committee in assessing individual and corporate performance.

The only other benefits available to our executives are those that are generally available to our employees, including health insurance. We do not offer any of our executives any pension or retirement benefits that are not otherwise enjoyed by our employees in general.

Certain Accounting and Tax Considerations.

We are aware that base salary, cash bonuses, stock-based awards, and other elements of our compensation programs generate charges to earnings under generally accepted accounting principles (including as provided in SFAS 123R). We generally do not adjust compensation components based on accounting factors.

Report of Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section with management. Based on such review and discussion, the members of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee recommended that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section be included in the Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

1995 Stock Option

Our Board of Directors has adopted and our shareholders, prior to our initial public offering, approved our 1995 Stock Option Plan. Our 1995 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of:

• options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to key employees; and

• options not intended to so qualify to key employees, including our directors and officers, and to directors and consultants who are not employees.

The total number of shares of our common stock for which options may be granted under our 1995 Stock Option Plan is 850,000 shares.

Our 1995 Stock Option Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors. The compensation committee will determine the terms of options exercised, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the option and the terms and conditions of exercise. No option granted under our 1995 Stock Option Plan is transferable by the optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and each option is exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such optionee or his legal representatives.

The exercise price of incentive stock under our 1995 Stock Option Plan must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant, or 110% of fair market value in the case of an optionee who owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the voting rights of our outstanding capital stock. The term of each option will be established by the compensation committee, in its sole discretion. However, the maximum term for each incentive stock option granted under our 1995 Stock Option Plan is ten years, or five years in the case of an optionee who owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Options will become exercisable at such times and in such installments as the compensation committee will provide in the terms of each individual option. The maximum number of shares for which options may be granted to any individual in any fiscal year is 210,000.

Our 1995 Stock Option Plan also contains an automatic option grant program for our directors. Each of our non-employee directors is automatically granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock following each annual meeting of shareholders. In addition, each of our employee directors is automatically granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock following each annual meeting of shareholders. Each grant has an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of the our common stock on the grant date, is immediately exercisable and has a term of five years measured from the grant date, subject to earlier termination if an optionee’s service as a Board member is terminated for cause.

2004 Stock Incentive Plan

Our board of directors has adopted and our shareholders approved our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “ 2004 Plan ”). The 2004 Plan is intended to provide an incentive to employees (including executive officers), and directors of and consultants to the Company and its affiliates, and is intended to be the successor plan to the 1995 Stock Option Plan (which terminates in November 2005). The 2004 Plan authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment as described in the 2004 Plan) pursuant to stock grants or options to purchase common stock to employees (including officers and directors who are employees) and non-employee directors of, and consultants to, us.

The 2004 Plan provides for the grant of (i) “incentive stock options” (“ ISOs ”) within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), (ii) non-qualified stock options (which are stock options that do not qualify as ISOs), and (iii) stock awards.

The 2004 Plan will be administered by our board of directors or a committee of our board of directors consisting of at least two members of our board, each of whom is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It is also intended that each member of any such committee will be an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Options granted under the 2004 Plan will be subject to, among other things, the following terms and conditions:

	•	The exercise price of each option will be determined by the administrator; provided, however, that the exercise price of an ISO may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (110% of such fair market value if the optionee owns (or is deemed to own) more than 10% of our voting power).

	•	Options may be granted for terms determined by the administrator; provided, however, that the term of an ISO may not exceed 10 years (5 years if the optionee owns (or is deemed to own) more than 10% of our voting power).

	•	The maximum number of shares of our common stock for which options may be granted to an employee in any calendar year is 230,000. In addition, the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which ISOs may be granted to an employee which are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

	•	The exercise price of each option is payable in full upon exercise or, if the applicable stock option contract entered into by us with an optionee permits, in installments.

	•	Options may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the optionee’s lifetime only by the optionee or his or her legal representatives.

	•	Except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable option contract, if the optionee’s relationship with us as an employee or consultant is terminated for any reason (other than the death or disability of the optionee), the option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at the time of termination of such relationship, within three months thereafter, but in no event after the expiration of the term of the option.

	•	We may withhold cash and/or shares of our common stock having an aggregate value equal to the amount which we determine is necessary to meet its obligations to withhold any federal, state and/or local taxes or other amounts incurred by reason of the grant or exercise of an option, its disposition or the disposition of shares acquired upon the exercise of the option. Alternatively, we may require the optionee to pay us such amount, in cash, promptly upon demand.

Through September 28, 2005, we have granted options to purchase 255,000 shares of our common stock under our 1995 Stock Option Plan, 165,000 of which have been exercised. Through September 28, 2006, we have granted options to purchase 95,000 shares of our common stock under our 2004 Stock Option Plan, 95,000 of which none has been exercised.
