Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits

        (a)  Financial Statements of Business Acquired
             -----------------------------------------

        Please refer to Exhibit 10.2 for financial statements of the business
merged with.

        (b)  Pro Forma Financial Information
             -------------------------------

        On March 1, 1996, Eltron International, Inc. ("Eltron") acquired all of
the issued and outstanding stock of RJS, Incorporated ("RJS") from the
shareholders of RJS in a merger (the "Merger"). RJS is a manufacturer of
high-speed bar code printers, verified printing systems and bar code verifiers.
The Merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interest for financial
reporting purposes. In connection with the Merger, Eltron issued 322,991 shares
of its common stock and paid cash consideration of approximately $776,000 in
satisfaction of dissenters' rights.

        The unaudited pro forma financial statements reflect the following: (i)
Eltron common shares issued and cash paid in connection with the merger; (ii)
the elimination of interest expense and all outstanding borrowings under RJS's
line of credit which was paid in full and terminated subsequent to the Merger;
(iii) the elimination of sales made between Eltron and RJS; and (iv) the tax
effect of the foregoing adjustments. Expenses totaling approximately $450,000
related to the Merger have not been included in the unaudited pro forma
financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly such pro forma financial statements have
been made based on the terms and structure of the Merger. However, the
preparation of pro forma financial information requires many assumptions which
may differ from actual operations. These unaudited pro forma financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of the actual results which the
Company would have reported had the Merger occurred as of January 1, 1993, 1994
or 1995, nor do they purport to indicate the results of future operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of
  RJS, Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RJS, 
Incorporated and subsidiary (the "Company") as of September 30, 1995 and 1994,
and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings 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 consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 30, 1995
and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

RJS, INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.      GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        General - RJS, Incorporated ("RJS") and its wholly owned subsidiary, RJS
        International, GmbH ("RJS-GMBH"), a West German corporation
        (collectively, the "Company"), are engaged in the design, development,
        production and distribution of electronic instruments related to the
        scanning and printing of bar code labels used in the identification of
        industrial and consumer products. The Company sells its products
        throughout the United States and Canada, Europe, South America,
        Australia and the Pacific Basin.

        The reporting entity RJS changed its name during the year from IDM
        Technologies, Inc. to RJS, Incorporated.

        Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements
        include the accounts of RJS and RJS-GMBH. All significant intercompany
        balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

        Fiscal Year - The Company's fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period
        ending the Sunday nearest to September 30. References to the years ended
        September 30, 1995 and 1994 in these consolidated financial statements
        are to the 52 weeks ended October 1, 1995 and October 2, 1994,
        respectively.

        Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue as products are
        shipped, net of estimated returns. The Company offers its customers
        extended service contracts for the products it sells. Deferred service
        contract revenue is recognized over the life of the service contract on
        a straight-line basis, with service costs recognized as incurred.

        Research and Development - Research and development costs are expensed
        as incurred and consist of engineering expenses related to the
        development of new products and the refinement and modification of
        existing products. During 1994, the Company granted a perpetual,
        nonexclusive license for a limited portion of the laser printer
        technology it previously developed to an unrelated entity.

        Other Income (Expense) - Other income consists principally of
        amortization of the excess of fair value over cost of net assets
        acquired. Other expense consists principally of foreign currency
        transaction losses, which were $157,000 and $62,000 in 1995 and 1994,
        respectively.

        Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.
        Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

        Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost.
        Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
        estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are
        amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the related lease
        terms. Useful lives range from three to five years.




                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>   7

    Excess of Fair Value over Cost of Net Assets Acquired--The excess of fair
    value over cost of net assets acquired (relating to the acquisition of RJS
    and RJS-GMBH during 1987) is being amortized to income over ten years. The
    amount of such amortization, recorded as other income, was $143,000 and
    $142,000 during 1995 and 1994, respectively.

    Foreign Currency Translation--The financial statements of RJS-GMBH are
    translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial
    Accounting Standards No. 52. Assets and liabilities are translated using the
    exchange rate at the balance sheet date, and revenues, expenses, gains and
    losses are translated using an average exchange rate for the year. The
    foreign currency translation adjustment was immaterial during 1995 and 1994.

    Income Taxes--Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary
    differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for
    financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
    Temporary differences result primarily from net operating loss
    carryforwards, general business tax credits and inventory reserves. The
    Company records a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets when,
    based on management's best estimate of taxable income in the foreseeable
    future, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred income
    tax assets may not be realized.

    Concentration of Credit Risk--Financial instruments which potentially
    subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of accounts
    receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts
    receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the
    Company's customer base and their geographic dispersion. The Company grants
    uncollateralized credit to domestic and international customers.

    Reclassifications--Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994
    amounts to conform to the 1995 presentation.

2.  INVENTORIES

    Inventories consist of the following:

                                                        1995          1994

        Raw materials                                $1,244,000    $1,058,000
        Work-in-process                                 112,000       202,000
        Finished goods                                  960,000       618,000
                                                     ----------    ----------
        Total inventories                            $2,316,000    $1,878,000
                                                     ==========    ==========

3.  NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM SHAREHOLDERS

    Notes receivable from shareholders consist of five-year notes that accrue
    interest at 6% per annum. Monthly payments of principal and interest,
    computed as if the notes were to be fully amortized over fifteen years, are
    due through December 1999. The remaining balance is due in January 2000.

4.  LINE OF CREDIT

    RJS has a line-of-credit facility with a bank under which $2,000,000 is
    available for working capital advances and $450,000 is available for letters
    of credit issuance. Aggregate borrowings under the facility are limited to
    the lesser of $2,000,000 or the sum of (1) 80% of eligible accounts
    receivable, as defined, plus (2) the lesser of 15% of eligible inventories,
    as defined, or $250,000. The credit facility, which expires on March 1,
    1996, is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventories and property and
    equipment and is guaranteed by the principal shareholders of RJS. Advances
    under the credit facility bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.75% at
    September 30, 1995) plus .50%. At September 30, 1995, RJS had $798,000 in
    available credit under this arrangement. Loan covenants in connection with
    the line of credit include the maintenance of certain financial ratios,
    limitations on additional indebtedness, and certain other restrictions.

5.  COMMITMENTS
    
    The Company leases its facilities under a month-to-month lease. Rent
    expense charged to operations during each of 1995 and 1994 was $122,000.

6.  STOCK OPTION PLAN

    The Company has a nonqualified stock option plan under which 225,000 shares
    of Class A common stock have been reserved for issuance to certain key
    employees. Stock options may be granted at prices not less than 100% of the
    fair market value at the date of the grant. All options expire at periods
    determined by the Board of Directors. Stock options for 6,333 shares were
    exercised during 1994 for a total of $7,000. Stock options for 6,333 shares
    expired during 1994. There were no outstanding options at September 30,
    1995.

7.  INCOME TAXES

    The (benefit) provision for income taxes consists of the following:

                                                        1995          1994

           loss carryforwards of $180,000 and 
           $289,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively    $  3,000     $  10,000
        State                                           32,000        54,000
        Foreign                                                       40,000

                                                      =========    =========



                                      -7-
<PAGE>   9

    The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce net deferred income
    tax assets to the amount expected to be realized, which, at September 30,
    1995 and 1994, consisted of the following:

                                                       1995         1994

        Deferred income tax assets                  $1,354,000   $1,378,000
        Deferred income tax liabilities                (35,000)     (42,000)
                                                    ----------   ----------
        Total                                        1,319,000    1,336,000
        Less valuation allowance                       851,000    1,006,000
                                                    ----------   ----------
        Net deferred income tax assets              $  468,000   $  330,000
                                                    ==========   ==========

    At September 30, 1995 and 1994, the Company had net operating loss
    carryforwards of $1,397,000 and $1,781,000, respectively, available to
    reduce future federal taxable income. These carryforwards expire through
    2002. The investment tax, research and other credits expire between 1999 and
    2001. In addition, at September 30, 1995 and 1994, RJS-GMBH had in excess of
    $1,500,000 of tax loss carryforwards available to offset taxable income
    reportable in Germany, if any, earned by RJS-GMBH in the future. A valuation
    allowance has been recorded for the full amount of such net operating loss
    carryforwards.

    The provision for income taxes differs from that which would result from
    applying the federal statutory tax rates to pretax income due principally to
    state income taxes, foreign losses, amortization of the excess of fair value
    over cost of net assets acquired, changes in the valuation allowance,
    research credits and officers' life insurance.

8.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

    The Company has a 401(k) savings and profit sharing plan that is available
    to substantially all of its employees. Under the plan, employees can make
    voluntary contributions not to exceed the lesser of an amount equal to 15%
    of their compensation or limits established by the Internal Revenue Code.
    The Company, at its discretion, matches a portion of the employees' annual
    contributions. Company contributions during each of 1995 and 1994 were
    $18,000.

the Effective Time," is hereby deleted. The following is substituted in its
place: "manner described in, this Article XI, until the Escrow Termination
Date,"

        3.  In all other respects, the Merger Agreement shall be unmodified and
shall remain in full force and effect.

        4.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered as of the date and year first above written.
