The Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 10, 1998 is amended to read in
its entirety as follows:

ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

MERGER WITH ENCORE SYSTEMS, INC. AND ACQUISITION OF GLOBAL SYSTEMS AND SUPPORT,
INC. AND FIVE STAR SYSTEMS, INC.

     On September 10, 1998, pursuant to an Acquisition Agreement dated as of
August 31, 1998 (the "Acquisition Agreement") by and among Eltrax Systems, Inc.,
a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), Encore Acquiring Corp., a Georgia
corporation ("Acquiring Sub"), Encore Systems, Inc., a Georgia Corporation
("Encore"), Global Systems and Support, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("GSS"),
Five Star Systems, Inc., a Georgia corporation ("Five Star"), Penelope Sellers
("Sellers"), and Joseph T. Dyer ("Dyer"; Sellers and Dyer are sometimes
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Shareholders"), Acquiring Sub
merged with and into Encore, and the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of GSS and Five Star.  As a result of the merger, the separate existence
of Acquiring Sub ceased and Encore continues as the surviving corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Encore, GSS, and Five Star are
providers of proprietary software products and technology services to the
hospitality industry.  The description of the merger and stock acquisitions
included herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the Acquisition Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, upon the closing of the
merger on September 10, 1998, 465,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per
share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") were issued to the Shareholders in
connection with the merger, and the Company paid the Shareholders $8.5 million
for all of the outstanding capital stock of GSS and Five Star.  Furthermore, in
the event the Company elects to treat the acquisition of Five Star stock as a
"deemed sale of assets" pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue
Code, the Company will reimburse the Shareholders (on a "grossed-up" basis for
taxes) for the additional tax resulting from such election.  The 465,000 shares
of Common Stock issued in connection with the merger represents approximately
3.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock after the closing. 
All of the shares of the Common Stock that have been issued to the Shareholders
in connection with the merger are "restricted stock", as defined in Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, and have certain demand and
"piggyback" registration rights.

     In addition to the foregoing, the Company entered into an Employment and
Non-Competition Agreement with Penelope Sellers that provides for the employment
by the Company of Sellers for a period of one (1) year from September 1, 1998.
The agreement also provides for a non-compete period through two (2) years after
the term of the agreement.  The description of the Employment and
Non-Competition Agreement included herein does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment and Non-Competition
Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

     For accounting purposes, it is intended that the merger will be treated as
a purchase transaction under APB Opinion No. 16.

ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

     The Company has entered into a new three-year credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") with State Street Bank and Trust Company that provides for a $4.0
million three-year term loan and a $6.0 million revolving credit loan.  Each
loan is due on September 10, 2001, and is secured by a security interest in all
of the Company's personal property.  In addition to monthly interest payments
under each loan, equal monthly principal payments of $111,111 are required
pursuant to the term loan.  The revolving credit loan accrues 

<PAGE>

interest at a rate 100 basis points above the "prime rate" and the term loan
accrues interest at a rate equal to a rate (i) 150 basis points above the "prime
rate" or (ii) 425 basis points above the LIBOR rate, as selected by the Company
pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.  The description of the Credit
Agreement included herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.2
hereto.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of 
Encore Systems, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Encore Systems Inc.
at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  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 of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

ENCORE SYSTEMS INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

     The Company designs, develops and markets software products used in the
     hospitality industry.  Additionally, the Company provides installation and
     maintenance services related to their software, as well as other nonrelated
     products.


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     a.   PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION:  The combined financial statements include
          the accounts of Encore Systems, Inc., Global Systems and Support, Inc.
          and Five Star Systems, Inc. (collectively, the "Company"), all of
          which have common ownership. Intercompany transactions and accounts
          are eliminated in combination.

     b.   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, including contingencies, as well as
          the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial
          statement period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 
          Examples of significant estimates include the collectibility of
          receivables and the net recoverability of deferred tax assets.  These
          estimates are particularly susceptible to material changes in the near
          term.

     c.   FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:  The carrying amount of cash,
          accounts rceivable/payable, notes receivable/payable and accrued
          expenses approximates fair value because of the short maturity of
          these instruments.

     d.   CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:  The Company extends credit to customers
          based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and
          credit history and generally does not require collateral. Revenue
          from maintenance contracts are principally collected in advance, and
          the Company requires deposits on system sales and installation
          contracts. The Company's range of customers includes lodging chains
          and franchises, one of which accounted for 63% and 61% of combined
          revenues in 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     e.   REVENUE RECOGNITION:  The Company recognizes revenue on sales of
          systems including software and hardware upon delivery or installation
          and when all obligations of the respective contract have been
          fulfilled.  Support services revenues are billed in advance and
          recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as income ratably over the
          service period.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED:

     f.   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  The Company considers as cash and cash
          equivalents amounts on deposits in banks and cash invested temporarily
          in various instruments with maturities of three months or less at the
          time of purchase.

     g.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:  Property and equipment is recorded at cost
          and is depreciated using accelerated and straight-line methods over
          the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to
          five years.

          Expenditures for repairs, maintenance and renewals are charged to
          income as incurred.  Expenditures which improve an asset or extend its
          estimated useful life are capitalized.  When properties are retired or
          otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation
          are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in
          income.

     h.   SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS:  The Company capitalizes software
          development costs incurred from the time technological feasibility of
          the software is established until the software is ready for use to
          provide processing services to customers. Research and development
          costs and other computer software maintenance costs related to
          software development are expensed as incurred.  As of December 31,
          1997 and 1996, no software development costs have been capitalized.

3.   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

     Property and equipment consists of the following:

5.   SAVINGS PLAN:

     The Company has a voluntary defined contribution 401(k) plan covering
     substantially all employees.  Employees may elect to contribute a maximum
     of 15 percent of their pretax wages not to exceed a statutory maximum.  The
     Company has the option to make either discretionary and/or matching
     contributions.  Company contributions of approximately $20,000 have been
     charged to operations for this plan for the years ended December 31, 1997. 
     No contribution was made for the year ended December 31, 1996.

6.   INCOME TAXES:

     The financial statements are a combination of three companies held under
     common ownership.  Two of these companies have elected to have their income
     taxed under Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Subchapter S
     Corporation Election) and, accordingly, any liabilities for income taxes
     are the direct responsibility of the shareholders.

     Encore, the sole Subchapter C Corporation had minor tax losses in both 1997
     and 1996 and accordingly, no tax provision is recorded in either year.  In
     addition, Encore has deferred tax assets of approximately $70,000 related
     to the timing of certain deductions at the end of 1997 and 1996.  Due to
     the uncertainty as to the likelihood and timing of future taxable income
     for Encore, a full valuation allowance was applied to these taxes.

     In addition, Encore's 1991 through 1993 federal income tax returns were
     examined by the Internal Revenue Service during 1997.  These audits
     resulted in the payment of taxes, penalties and interest in 1998 which has
     been fully accrued for at December 31, 1997 and 1996.

9.   LITIGATION:

     The Company sub-licenses its primary product, a hotel accounting and
     operations software package, from Omni, who has a license agreement with
     the developer of the software.  Pursuant to the license and sub-license
     agreements, the Company's rights to sell the software product is perpetual.

     In 1996 a lawsuit was brought against Omni and the Company by the developer
     of the software relating to the rights to certain software the Company
     markets. Effective December 31, 1997, a Settlement and License Agreement
     was entered into, granting Omni the perpetual rights to the software. Under
     the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay the developer certain
     accrued royalties as well as $15,000 per month for 36 months, beginning
     March 1998. The promissory note has no stated interest rate, and has been
     stated using an imputed interest rate of 8.5%. Future maturities are as
     follows:

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

     On September 10, 1998, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement
     with Eltrax Systems, Inc. ("Eltrax").  Under the terms of the agreement,
     Eltrax acquired all the outstanding common stock of the Company for $8.5
     million cash and 465,000 shares of Eltrax common stock. The Company was
     subsequently merged into Encore Systems, Inc., which became a wholly owned
     subsidiary of Eltrax. The acquisition will be accounted for by Eltrax as a
     purchase transaction.

                 PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION - NARRATIVE OVERVIEW
                                     (UNAUDITED)


The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of December 
31, 1997 and statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 
and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, combine the historical balance 
sheets and statements of operations of Encore Systems, Inc., Global Systems 
and Support, Inc. and Five Star Systems, Inc. ("Encore Group") and the 
historical balance sheet and statements of operations of Eltrax Systems, Inc. 
("Eltrax") (collectively the "Entities").  The unaudited pro forma balance 
sheet as of December 31, 1997 assumes the Entities are consolidated at that 
date.  The unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998, assume the 
Entities were consolidated effective at the beginning of each fiscal period.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to (i) 
the acquisition of the Encore Group (ii) the borrowing of $8,500,000 in 
connection with the acquisition (iii) the issuance of 465,000 common shares 
of Eltrax common stock in connection with the acquisition and (iv) other 
adjustments as described in the accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily 
indicative of the financial position or results of operations of Eltrax as 
they may be in the future or as they might have been for the periods 
presented had the entities actually been consolidated effective at the 
beginning of each fiscal period or as of the dates of the unaudited pro forma 
balance sheets.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements 
and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical 
financial statements of Eltrax, as filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended 
December 31, 1997, the Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 
1998, and the historical financial statements of the Encore Group, including 
the notes to such financial statements as set forth elsewhere in this Form 
8-K/A.  The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and 
upon certain assumptions that Eltrax management believes are reasonable under 
the circumstances.

     year ended December 31, 1997.

     a straight-line basis over the estimated average intangible life of eight
     years.

     the acquisition.
