INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Smyth Systems, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Smyth Systems, Inc. as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Smyth Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 1996
and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


1.       ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                  Description of Business - Smyth Systems, Inc. (the "Company")
         is in the business of retail automation, principally point-of-sale
         ("POS") systems installation and service and systems integration which
         provides retailers with turnkey operating solutions, including hardware
         and proprietary software products. The Company's systems integration
         customers are primarily country clubs, golf courses, resorts, and
         men's, ladies', sporting goods and museum specialty retailers. These
         customers are located throughout the United States. The Company's POS
         customers are retailers located in nineteen counties in Ohio and in
         Southern California. The Company operates primarily out of the
         corporate headquarters located in Canton, Ohio and Irvine, California,
         with other locations in California, Utah, and Texas.

                  Concentration of Credit Risk - During 1996 the Company had
         sales to one customer representing approximately 10% of total revenues.
         At December 31, 1996, accounts receivable due from this customer
         totaled $121,845. No customer exceeded 10% of revenue in 1995. The
         Company generally does not require collateral for accounts receivable,
         but discontinues ongoing maintenance and support if customers become
         delinquent.

                  Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
         and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                  Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue for
         system sales upon delivery of the system to the customer. The Company
         sells product service and support contracts for hardware, peripheral
         support, and software which generally cover a period of twelve months.
         Revenues from such service contracts are deferred and amortized on a
         straight-line basis over the life of the contracts. Unearned
         maintenance and support revenue represents the unrealized portion of
         such contracts.

                  Cash Equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity
         of three months or less when purchased.

                  Inventories of POS terminals, computers and related equipment
         are stated at the lower of cost or market using the specific
         identification method with identifying serial numbers. All other
         inventories are stated at lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
         market.

                  Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at
         cost. Depreciation is computed principally by accelerated methods for
         income tax and financial reporting purposes over the estimated useful
         lives of the assets which range from three to ten years. Leasehold
         improvements are amortized over the length of the lease using the
         straight-line method.

                 Software Costs - As a systems integrator, the Company provides
         its customers with turnkey software solutions including proprietary
         software products exclusively for application to retail operations.
         Purchased software, which generally has alternative future uses, is
         included in other assets and amortized, using the straight-line method,
         over the estimated economic life of the software of three to five
         years. Unamortized purchased software costs at December 31, 1996 and
         1995, and the related amortization expense for the years then ended,
         were not material. The costs of internal development of proprietary
         software are expensed as research and development until technological
         feasibility is established. No internal software development costs were
         capitalized at December 31, 1996 or 1995, or amortized during the years
         then ended, as the Company generally has not established evidence of
         technological feasibility pursuant to generally accepted accounting
         principles prior to completing development of each software product.

                  Income Taxes - The provision for income taxes is based upon
         income before taxes for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax
         assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax
         consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets
         and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting
         purposes.

                  Earnings Per Share - Earnings per share are computed based on
         the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
         during each year.


2.       INVENTORIES

         peripherals, paper and other supplies for resale to customers, as well
         as items to support maintenance contracts. Inventories at December 31
         were as follows:

</TABLE>

                  Included in inventories at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is
         approximately $143,313 and $95,373, respectively, of used or
         refurbished parts and components which the Company has on hand to
         fulfill maintenance contract requirements. Due to the nature of the
         systems installed and the longevity of the systems in general, service
         may be provided for several years after sale, causing much of this
         inventory to be for older models of equipment.

3.       BORROWINGS AND CREDIT FACILITIES

                  The Company has a $750,000 line of credit with a bank. The
         line of credit was unused at December 31, 1996 and 1995. Balances are
         payable upon demand and interest is payable at .50% over prime for
         1996. The rate was .75% over prime for 1995. Borrowings under this line
         of credit are collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and
         equipment.

                  During 1995, the Company paid off $140,000 of long term debt
         with interest at 1% over prime. The debt was collateralized by accounts
         receivable, inventory and equipment.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                     QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996

1.        BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                 The accompanying interim financial statements of Smyth Systems,
          Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared without audit. In the opinion
          of Company management, the financial statements contain all
          adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
          necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31,1997
          and the results of operations and cash flows for the quarters ended
          March 31, 1997 and 1996. These unaudited interim financial statements
          have been prepared using the same accounting principles used to
          prepare the Company's financial statements for the year ended December
          31, 1996.

                 Results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 are
          not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
          fiscal year.

2.        SOFTWARE COSTS

                 As a systems integrator, the Company provides its customers
          with turnkey software solutions including proprietary software
          products exclusively for application to retail operations. Purchased
          software, which generally has alternative future uses, is included in
          other assets and amortized, using the straight-line method, over the
          estimated economic life of the software of three to five years.
          Unamortized purchased software costs at March 31, 1997, and the
          related amortization expense for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and
          1996, were not material. The costs of internal development of
          proprietary software are expensed as research and development until
          technological feasibility is established. After technological
          feasibility is established, internal software development costs are
          capitalized as other assets until the software product is completed.
          Other assets at March 31, 1997 include capitalized internal software
          development costs of $51,603, all of which were incurred during the
          quarter ended March 31, 1997 for a software development project that

          Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information


         The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information gives effect to the combination of Bristol Retail Solutions, Inc.
(the Company, formerly Bristol Technology Systems, Inc.) with (i) Cash
Registers, Incorporated (CRI), which was acquired by the Company effective June
28, 1996 for cash consideration of $955,000, including acquisition costs of
$72,000; (ii) Automated Register Systems, Inc. (ARS), which was acquired by the
Company effective December 31, 1996 for consideration of $1,103,000 in cash,
including acquisition costs of $78,000, and 58,154 shares of non-registered,
restricted common stock of the Company which were valued at $683,000 at the
acquisition date; and (iii) Smyth Systems, Inc. (Smyth), which was acquired by
the Company effective May 29, 1997 for consideration of $2,369,000 in cash,
including acquisition costs of $20,000, and 569,408 shares of non-registered,
restricted common stock of the Company which were valued at $2,064,000 at the
acquisition date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company, CRI,
ARS and Smyth and certain assumptions set forth below and in the notes to the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The Company
changed its name to Bristol Retail Solutions, Inc. in July 1997. The Company's
former name was Bristol Technology Systems, Inc.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect
to the combination of the Company with Smyth as if such merger had occurred on
the Company's latest balance sheet date, March 31, 1997. The carrying values of
the acquired tangible assets and assumed liabilities of Smyth are believed to
approximate fair value. The allocation of the purchase price is subject to final
determination based on the valuation of the assets acquired. Any purchase price
adjustments are not expected to be material to the pro forma financial
information taken as a whole. The balance sheets of CRI and ARS are included in
the Company's historical consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1997.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for
the period from inception (April 3, 1996) to December 31, 1996 gives effect to
the acquisitions of CRI, ARS and Smyth as if all of such acquisitions had been
made on April 3, 1996. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
operations for the period from inception (April 3, 1996) to December 31, 1996
includes the audited historical financial information of the Company for the
period from inception (April 3, 1996) to December 31, 1996; the financial
information of CRI for the period from April 3, 1996 to June 30, 1996; and the
financial information of ARS and Smyth for the period from April 3, 1996 to
December 31, 1996.

         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 includes the unaudited interim financial
information of the Company and Smyth for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
The financial information of CRI and ARS is included in the Company's historical
consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

         Pro forma adjustments are based upon preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that management deems appropriate. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein is
not necessarily indicative of the results the Company would have obtained had
such events occurred at the beginning of the period, as assumed, or the future
results of the Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited historical
financial statements and related notes thereto in its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the period from inception (April 3, 1996) to December 31, 1996 and
the Company's unaudited historical financial statements and related notes
thereto in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 1997, both previously filed, and the audited historical financial
statements and related notes thereto of Smyth Systems, Inc. as of and for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the unaudited historical financial
statements and related notes thereto of Smyth Systems, Inc. as of March 31, 1997
and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, both included herein.

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED BALANCE SHEET ADJUSTMENTS

(a)    Adjustment to reflect the acquisition of Smyth for consideration of
$2,369,000 in cash, including $20,000 of acquisition costs, and 569,408 shares
of common stock of the Company which were valued at approximately $2,064,000.
The preliminary purchase price allocation includes amounts assigned to goodwill
of $3,251,000 which represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of the
net assets acquired and is being amortized over a period of 40 years. The final
purchase price allocation may involve the assignment of amounts to different
intangible assets which may be amortized over different periods. The excess of
the cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired includes a valuation
allowance of $125,000 established by the Company against the net deferred income
tax asset acquired from Smyth.

2.     UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
       ADJUSTMENTS

(b)    Adjustment to reflect the increase in amortization expense relating to
the goodwill recorded in purchase accounting related to the CRI, ARS and Smyth
acquisitions and the amortization of such goodwill over its estimated useful
life. An aggregate of $1,712,000 of goodwill was recorded in connection with the
CRI and ARS acquisitions and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of
15 years and $3,251,000 of goodwill was preliminarily recorded in connection
with the acquisition of Smyth and is being amortized over an estimated useful
life of 40 years. The final allocation of the Smyth purchase price may involve
the assignment of amounts to different intangible assets which may be amortized
over different periods.

(c)    Adjustment to reflect an increase in rent expense at ARS. As part of the
acquisition of ARS by the Company, ARS's office facility lease was renegotiated
and the monthly rental rate was increased.

(d)    Adjustment to reflect an increase in interest expense as if the Company's
$817,500 subordinated notes payable had been issued on April 3, 1996. The
subordinated notes payable were issued in June 1996 and bore interest at 10% per
annum. The proceeds from the subordinated notes payable were used by the Company
to acquire CRI on June 28, 1996. The subordinated notes payable were retired on
November 22, 1996.

(e)    Adjustment to calculate the impact on income taxes of the pro forma
adjustments at the effective income tax rate for the respective entities in the
respective periods to which the adjustments relate.

(f)    Adjustment to reflect the increase in amortization expense relating to
the goodwill of $3,251,000 recorded in purchase accounting related to the Smyth
acquisition and the amortization of such goodwill over an estimated useful life
of 40 years.

(g)    The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate pro forma
earnings per share for the period from inception (April 3, 1996) to December 31,
1996 is based on the assumption that (i) the Company's actual common shares
outstanding at December 31, 1996 of 4,745,654, including 2,648,745 shares issued
at the inception of the Company, 577,417 shares issued in a private placement in
June 1996, 1,437,500 shares issued in the Company's initial public offering in
November 1996, 58,154 shares issued to the stockholders of ARS on December 31,
1996 and 23,838 shares issued to directors of the Company, and (ii) the 569,408
shares of common stock issued to the stockholders of Smyth had all been issued
at the beginning of the period. A portion of the proceeds from the private
placement and the initial public offering were used by the Company to acquire
CRI, ARS and Smyth.

(h)    The weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate pro forma
earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 is based on the
actual weighted average shares outstanding of 4,745,654 for the quarter as
adjusted to reflect the issuance of 569,408 shares of common stock to the
shareholders of Smyth at the beginning of the quarter.
