Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On June 29, 1995, Monarch Acquisition Corp. (the "Buyer"), a
corporation in which Paxar Corporation (the "Company") owns a 49.5% interest,
completed the acquisition of Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. and related
companies ("Monarch") from Pitney Bowes Inc.  and certain related companies
("Pitney Bowes").  The other owners of the Buyer are Odyssey Partners, L.P.,
which has a 49.5% interest in the Buyer, and Thomas Loemker, a Director of the
Company, who has a 1% interest in the Buyer.  The Buyer paid $127 million to
Pitney Bowes in consideration for Monarch.  The $127 million used to purchase
Monarch was comprised of: (i) $30 million consisting of $15 million paid by
each of the Company and Odyssey in consideration for their respective interests
in the Buyer; (ii) $303,030 from Mr. Loemker in consideration for his interest;
and (iii) the balance of approximately $97 million of the purchase price plus
approximately $3 million in acquisition costs from a private placement of the
Buyer's debt securities.  The holders of the aforementioned debt securities are
without recourse to the Company, Odyssey or Mr. Loemker in the event of default
by Buyer.  Immediately following the acquisition of Monarch from Pitney Bowes,
the Buyer was merged into Monarch, which was the surviving entity.

         Monarch is the leading manufacturer and marketer of marking equipment
and supplies in the United States.  Monarch also sells, directly and through
distributors, marking equipment and supplies in 75 other countries around the
world.  Monarch manufactures, markets and distributes (i) tabletop label
dispensers and handheld, mechanical labeling guns which print pressure-
sensitive (i.e., adhesive-backed) price and other identification labels and
affix them onto merchandise for retailers (collectively, "conventional
labelers"), and (ii) electronic bar code printers ("bar code printers"), which
are used in a wide range of retail and industrial applications, including
inventory management and distribution systems.  Monarch also manufactures and
markets supplies used in both its conventional labelers and bar code printers
and provides extensive service to its installed base of machines.  The breadth
of Monarch's machine, supplies and service offerings allows it to meet most of
its customers' marking needs.

         At Closing, the Company and Odyssey executed a Stockholders' Agreement
(the "Stockholders' Agreement").  The Stockholders' Agreement provides that
Monarch's Board of Directors shall be comprised of eight members, three of whom
are designated by the Company ("Company Directors"), three of whom are
designated by Odyssey ("Odyssey Directors"), with the remaining two Directors
selected by a majority of the Company Directors and the Odyssey Directors.  It
is anticipated that Mr. Loemker will serve as Chairman of the Board of
Directors and, until a suitable replacement can be obtained, as the initial
chief executive officer of Monarch.  The Company and Odyssey have agreed that
Mr. Loemker will not be considered a director designated by either the Company
or Odyssey.  Substantially all significant corporate actions of the Buyer will
require the approval of a majority of the Buyer's Board of Directors, including
the affirmative vote of at least two of the





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
Directors designated by the Company and at least two of the Directors
designated by Odyssey.

          The Stockholders' Agreement provides that during calendar year 1997
the Company and Odyssey shall each have the single right to offer to sell all
but not less than all of their respective shares of Monarch to the other.  If
the parties are unable to agree upon the terms of sale for the shares offered,
the offering party may place Monarch up for sale.

         At anytime commencing January 1, 1998, independent of the rights set
forth in the previous paragraph, the Company and Odyssey shall have the right,
exercisable on one occasion each, to offer to sell all, but not less than all,
of their respective shares of Monarch to the other.  The Stockholders'
Agreement provides that the terms of sale of the shares shall be established by
up to three different appraisers, if necessary.  If the parties are unable to
agree upon the terms of the sale of the shares offered, Monarch must be placed
up for sale.

         On one occasion on or after July 1, 1999, the Company shall have the
right to purchase all but not less than all of Odyssey's shares of Monarch.
The Stockholders' Agreement provides that the terms of the Company's offer to
buy Odyssey's shares shall be established by up to three different appraisers
if necessary.  If the Company does not agree with the final appraised value,
Monarch must be placed up for sale.

         Any sale of Monarch pursuant to the aforementioned conditions shall
take place under the direction of the Board of Directors.  Neither the Company
nor Odyssey shall have the right to acquire Monarch if it is so placed up for
sale without the consent of the other.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and
Stockholder of Monarch Marking Systems, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of net assets to be sold
of Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of operations to be sold and of cash flows from
operations to be sold for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1994. 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.

As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared to present the
net assets of Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. to be sold and the related
operations and cash flows and are not intended to be a complete presentation of
the Company's assets, operations and cash flows.

In our opinion, the accompanying special purpose statements audited by us
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets to be sold of Monarch
Marking Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and its related
operations and cash flows from operations to be sold for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As described in Note 9, the Company adopted a new accounting standard for
postemployment benefits in 1994 and elected to adopt a new accounting standard
for postretirement benefits other than pensions in 1992.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS
                            AND OPERATIONS TO BE SOLD

                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS OR AS OTHERWISE INDICATED)


1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In 1994, Pitney Bowes Inc. announced its intent to seek buyers for its Monarch
Marking Systems, Inc. ("Monarch" or "the company") subsidiary. 

These consolidated special purpose financial statements reflect the net assets
of Monarch to be sold and their related results of operations and cash flows
("financial statements"). These financial statements exclude the net assets and
related results of operations and cash flows of the base materials business and
certain other assets and liabilities of the company that will be retained by
Pitney Bowes Inc. upon sale of the company. See note 6 "Related Party
Transactions" for further discussion. 


2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation.  The financial statements of Monarch, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Pitney Bowes Inc., include operations in the United States, France, Italy,
Sweden, Canada, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom as
well as a majority-owned joint venture in Singapore. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated among Monarch businesses. 

Inventory valuation.  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.
Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis for U.S. inventories
and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for most non-U.S. inventories. 

Fixed assets and depreciation.  Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost
and depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the
various assets. Major improvements which add to productive capacity or extend
the life of an asset are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred. Rental equipment is depreciated on the straight-line
method. Properties leased under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the primary lease terms. 

Rental arrangements and advance billings.  The company rents equipment to its
customers under short-term rental agreements, generally for periods of three
months to three years. Charges for equipment rental and maintenance contracts
are billed in advance; the related revenue is included in advance billings and
taken into income as earned. 

Revenue.  Sales revenue is primarily recognized when a product is shipped. 

Costs and expenses.  Operating expenses of field sales and service offices are
included in selling, service and administrative expenses because no meaningful
allocation of such expenses to cost of sales, cost of rentals or support
services is practicable. 

Income taxes.  The company's U.S. taxable income is included in the consolidated
federal and certain state income tax returns of Pitney Bowes Inc. The company
computes its provision for taxes on a separate company basis. 

The deferred tax provision is determined under the liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the book
and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. The
provision for income taxes is the sum of the amount of income tax paid or
payable to the parent for the year as determined by applying the provisions of
enacted tax laws to the taxable income for that year and the net change during
the year in the company's deferred tax assets and liabilities. 

It has not been necessary to provide for income taxes on $45.4 million of
cumulative undistributed earnings of subsidiaries outside the U.S. These
earnings will be either indefinitely reinvested or 

                                     F-6

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

remitted substantially free of additional tax. Determination of the liability
that would result in the event all of these earnings were remitted to the U.S.
is not practicable. It is estimated, however, that withholding taxes on such
remittances would approximate $2.4 million. 

Deferred income taxes result principally from expenses not currently recognized
for tax purposes and the excess of tax over book depreciation. 

Foreign currency translation.  Assets and liabilities of operations outside the
U.S. are translated at rates in effect at the end of the period, and revenues
and expenses were translated at average rates during the period. Net cumulative
translation losses were $5.3 million and $7.7 million at December 31, 1994 and
1993, respectively. 

The company enters into foreign exchange contracts primarily to hedge certain
firm foreign currency commitments. Gains and losses are deferred and recognized
as part of the cost of the underlying transaction being hedged. Gains and losses
related to changes in the value of speculative contracts are recognized in
income currently. At December 31, 1994 the company had approximately $2.2
million of foreign exchange contracts outstanding with Pitney Bowes Inc. as the
counterparty, maturing through 1995, to buy or sell various currencies. 

Foreign currency transaction and translation gains and (losses) were not
significant for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 or 1992.

</TABLE>

Had all inventories valued at LIFO been stated at current costs, inventories
would have been $9.6 million and $10.0 million higher than reported at December
31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

9.     NONPENSION POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

In the fourth quarter of 1992, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions" (FAS 106). This statement requires that the cost of these
benefits be recognized over the period the employee provides credited service to
the company rather than recognized on a cash basis, when incurred. It is the

9.     NONPENSION POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (CONTINUED)

company's practice to fund amounts for these nonpension postretirement benefits,
primarily health care, as incurred. Substantially all of the company's U.S. and
Canadian employees become eligible for retiree health care benefits after
reaching age 55 and with the completion of the required service period.

The transition effect of adopting FAS 106 on the immediate recognition basis was
retroactively reflected as of January 1, 1992, as a one-time, after-tax charge
of $16.9 million (net of approximately $10.9 million of income taxes).
Application of this standard resulted in additional 1992 annual expenses, which
totaled $2.5 million on income before income taxes and effect of changes in
accounting and $1.5 million after income taxes. In the first quarter of 1993,
the company announced certain changes to its health care plans, including plan

of FAS 106 on future earnings.

</TABLE>

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligations was 11.75% and 12% in 1994 and 1993,
respectively. This was assumed to gradually decline to 5% and 6% by the year
2000 and remain at that level thereafter for 1994 and 1993, respectively. A
one-percentage-point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate for
each year would increase the year-end accumulated postretirement benefit
obligations by approximately $1.1 million as of December 31, 1994 and the net
periodic postretirement health care cost by approximately $90 in 1994.

The assumed weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligations was 8.75% and 7.5% for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (FAS 112) as of January 1,
1994. FAS 112 required that postemployment benefits be recognized on the accrual
basis of accounting. Postemployment benefits include

primarily company provided medical benefits to disabled employees and company
provided life insurance as well as other disability- and death-related benefits
to former or inactive employees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents.

The effect of adopting FAS 112 was a one-time non-cash, after-tax charge of $3.5
million (net of approximately $2.2 million of income taxes).


10.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits, none of which will, in the
opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the company's financial
position or results of operations.

The company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations
concerning the environment, and is currently participating in administrative or
court proceedings as a participant in various groups of potentially responsible
parties. These proceedings are at various stages of activity, and it is
impossible to estimate with any certainty the total cost of remediation, the
timing and extent of remedial actions which may be required by governmental
authorities, and the amount of the liability, if any, of the company. If and
when it is possible to make a reasonable estimate of the company's liability
with respect to such a matter, a provision would be made as appropriate. Based
on facts presently known to it, the company does not believe that the outcome of
these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition.


11.    LEASES

The company leases certain factory and office facilities under lease agreements
extending from three to ten years. In addition to factory and office facilities
leased, the company leases computer and information processing equipment under
lease agreements extending from three to five years.

Future minimum lease payments for capital and operating leases as of December
31, 1994 are as follows:

12.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments:

Accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts approximate fair
value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The company sells and
services price marking and item identification equipment and supplies. As of
December 31, 1994, the company's receivables from customers in the retail
industry were $4.8 million.

Foreign currency exchange contracts. The fair value of foreign currency exchange
contracts is obtained from dealer quotes. These values represent the estimated
amount the company would receive or pay to terminate agreements taking into
consideration the credit worthiness of the counterparties and current foreign
currency exchange rates. The fair value of such contracts was not significant at
December 31, 1994 or 1993.


13.    NON-U.S. OPERATIONS

In addition to its U.S. operations, the company maintains operations in France,
Italy, Canada, Sweden, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Hong Kong and the United
Kingdom as well as a majority-owned joint venture in Singapore.

Summary financial statement information for non-U.S. operations at December 31,
1994 and 1993 and for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 are
presented below.

                            AND OPERATIONS TO BE SOLD

                (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS OR AS OTHERWISE INDICATED)


1.     INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated special purpose financial statements do
not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. (the company or Monarch), all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the net assets and operations to be sold of the company as of April 30, 1995 and
the four months ended April 30, 1995 and 1994 have been included. Operating
results for the four months ended April 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995. These
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the company's Consolidated Statements of Net Assets and
Operations to be Sold for the year ended December 31, 1994.


2.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In 1994, Pitney Bowes Inc. announced its intent to seek buyers for the business
of its Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. subsidiary. 

These consolidated special purpose financial statements reflect the net assets
of the Monarch to be sold and their related results of operations and cash
flows ("financial statements"). These financial statements exclude the net
assets and related results of operations and cash flows of the base materials
business and certain other assets and liabilities of the company that will be
retained by Pitney Bowes Inc. upon sale of the company.

Monarch is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes Inc. The company supplies
certain inventory and component parts to Pitney Bowes Inc. and its affiliates.
The company eliminates all Monarch intercompany transactions. The company
arranges financing for certain of its products through Pitney Bowes Credit
Corporation (PBCC) in the U.S., and leasing subsidiaries in Canada, and the
U.K., all wholly owned subsidiaries of Pitney Bowes Inc. Sales to these
financing entities were $0.2 million for both of the four-month periods ended
April 30, 1995 and 1994.    

Certain assets and liabilities of the company, including the intercompany
account with Pitney Bowes Inc., cash, investments in affiliates, intercompany
loans, and income taxes payable and the base materials business will be
transferred to Pitney Bowes Inc. prior to the sale of the company and, as such,
have been excluded from these financial statements.

The company earns interest income from its investments in and loans to
affiliates of Pitney Bowes Inc.  The return yielded from these Pitney Bowes
Inc. affiliates has been excluded from the Consolidated Statement of Operations
to be Sold as the related investments and loans are being retained by Pitney
Bowes Inc. Interest income and expense related to the cash position of the
company during the year has been included in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations to be Sold.

5.     POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (FAS 112) as of January 1,
1994. FAS 112 required that postemployment benefits be recognized on the accrual
basis of accounting. Postemployment benefits include primarily company provided
medical benefits to disabled employees and company provided life insurance as
well as other disability- and death-related benefits to former or inactive
employees, their beneficiaries and covered dependents.

The effect of adopting FAS 112 was a one-time non-cash, after-tax charge of $3.5
million (net of approximately $2.2 million of income taxes).


6.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits, none of which will, in the
opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the company's financial
position or results of operations.

The company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations
concerning the environment, and is currently participating in administrative or
court proceedings as a participant in various groups of potentially responsible
parties. These proceedings are at various stages of activity, and it is
impossible to estimate with any certainty the total cost of remediation, the
timing and extent of remedial actions which may be required by governmental
authorities, and the amount of the liability, if any, of the company. If and
when it is possible to make a reasonable estimate of the company's liability
with respect to such a matter, a provision would be made as appropriate. Based
on facts presently known to it, the company does not believe that the outcome of
these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements:


On June 29, 1995, the Company invested $15.0 million in a new company, jointly
formed by Paxar Corporation and Odyssey Partners L.P., which simultaneously
acquired Monarch Marking Systems, Inc. and related companies ("Monarch") from
Pitney Bowes, Inc. ("Pitney Bowes").  The Company's investment, which
represents a 49.5% interest, will be accounted for using the equity method.
The accompanying pro forma condensed income statements for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and for the year ended December 31, 1994 assume the investment
occurred at January 1, 1994.  The Monarch net income used in these pro forma
results is preliminary and subject to certain closing audit adjustments and the
final purchase price allocation.  No pro forma balance sheet is required
because the Company's investment in Monarch is reflected in the Company's
historical June 30, 1995 consolidated balance sheet.

The following are explanations of the adjustments reflected on the Pro Forma
Condensed Income Statements.

(a)      Reflects the pro forma adjustment to record the 49.5% interest in the
         pro forma net income of Monarch Marking Systems, Inc.

(b)      Reflects the pro forma adjustment for estimated interest expense as a
         result of the debt incurred by the Company for its investment in
         Monarch Marking Systems, Inc.

(c)      Reflects the pro forma adjustment to tax effect adjustments (a),
         including dividends received deductions, and (b) at the Company's
         statutory income tax rate.
