Item 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits

On November 20, 1997, BRC Holdings, Inc. ("BRC" or the "Company") and its
wholly-owned subsidiary Business Records Corporation consummated the
divestiture of its business of providing goods and services utilized by public
authorities in the conduct of elections.  The agreements executed in
connection with this divestiture provided for the sale of the assets and
operations of the election business to two companies:  American Information
Systems, Inc. ("AIS") and the Sequoia Pacific Systems division of the Smurfit
Packaging Corporation ("Sequoia").  Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement
executed with AIS, BRC received consideration consisting of $27.8 million in
cash and a $14.1 million promissory note.  Under the Asset Purchase Agreement
executed with Sequoia, BRC received a  cash payment of $5.4 million.  The
specific terms of these agreements have been disclosed in the Current Report
on Form 8-K filed on December 3, 1997. 

The Company's pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 1997 is presented on
the following page to reflect the sale and divestiture as if it had occurred
at that time.  No pro forma income statements have been presented since the
operations divested in this transaction were classified as discontinued
operations in the Company's historical financial statements.

Pro forma Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments related to the pro forma condensed balance sheet
have been estimated based upon the Company's best estimates at this time and
represent adjustments directly attributable to the transaction.  With the
exception of cash proceeds recorded in connection with the transaction, all
pro forma adjustments are subject to change pending further evaluation, and
based upon the conclusion of the Company's annual audit for the year ending
December 31, 1997.  The explanations for such adjustments are as follows:

(a)    Represents the cash proceeds from the divestiture of the Company's
       election business unit.

(b)    To reflect the discounted value of a $14.1 million promissory note due
       from AIS in connection with the divestiture.  The discounting of the
       promissory note is necessary to reflect liquidity and credit risks
       inherent in the note and to more accurately reflect its estimated fair
       value.  The valuation of the promissory note is a preliminary estimate,
       based on information currently available to management, subject to
       change pending further analysis of the note.

(c)    Represents the disposition of the net assets of the Company's
       discontinued election operations.

(d)    In connection with the divestiture, the Company has recorded an
       estimated income tax payable of $11.3 million and certain accrued
       liabilities of $0.8 million.  Accrued liabilities include expenses
       related to the consummation of the transaction and the transition of
       the business including severance and vacation pay pertaining to
       employees, legal costs and other estimated transition expenses.  The
       provision for income taxes was computed assuming a 40% effective tax
       rate.

(e)    To reflect changes in deferred taxes associated with timing differences
       between the Company's tax provision for financial accounting purposes
       and the payments estimated to be required for income tax purposes.

(f)    To reflect the estimated net after-tax gain associated with the
       Company's divestiture of the Election business.
