         The  undersigned  Registrant  hereby amends the following  items of its
Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 17, 1996, as set forth herein:


Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On July 2, 1996,  BT Office  Products  Deutschland  GmbH + Co.,  KG and
Classic Burobedarf Vertriebs GmbH, each of which is a German company and an
indirect wholly owned  subsidiary of BT Office Products  International,  Inc., a
Delaware  corporation  (the  "Registrant"),  entered  into a Share  Purchase and
Transfer Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") as purchasers  (collectively,  the
"Purchasers")  with  Heribert  Keller,  Manfred Otto Roth,  Keller  Organisation
Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH and Roth Organisation  Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH
as sellers  (collectively,  the "Sellers") and BT Office Products Europe C.V., a
Netherlands  company and an indirect wholly owned  subsidiary of the Registrant,
as guarantor.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers have agreed to
acquire from the Sellers all of the interests in Keller Organisation KG and Roth
Organisation KG (the "Holding Companies").  The Holding Companies own all of the
share capital of, or hold all of the interests in, Keller  Buromatic  GmbH,
Ratingen  (in the  Dusseldorf  area),  and the Roth  group,  consisting  of
Buroeinrichtungshaus  Roth GmbH, Wuppertal and Burosysteme  Roth Essen
Beteiligungs  GmbH,  Essen and  Burosysteme  Roth Essen  GmbH + Co.,  Essen
(collectively,  the "Keller + Roth  Group").  The Keller + Roth Group are office
products  distributors in Germany with total sales of approximately  $31 million
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

         The  transfer  of  consideration  for the  acquisition  is  subject  to
clearance by the German  Federal  Cartel Office under the German Restraint of
Competition Act.

         The purchase  price for such  transaction,  which was  determined  as a
result  of  an  arm's  length   negotiation   between  unrelated   parties,   is
approximately  $13  million in cash,  subject to  adjustment  as provided in the
Purchase  Agreement.  The  purchase  price,  less  a  contractual  holdback  for
potential indemnification claims, will be paid upon the aforementioned clearance
under German law.

         The  assets  of the  Keller  + Roth  Group to be  acquired,  including,
without limitation, inventory and equipment, have been used by the Keller + Roth
Group in the distribution of office products.  The Purchasers intend to continue
such use of the acquired assets.

         The source of funds to be used to finance the  acquisition  is expected
to be borrowings  under the  Registrant's  $250 million  syndicated  Competitive
Advance and Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, dated as of August 2, 1996 with
the lenders named therein, The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Administrative Agent and
ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Documentation Agent.

         The foregoing  summary of the  acquisition is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the Purchase Agreement  previously filed and incorporated herein
by reference.

Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

         (a) and (b)    Financial  Statements of Businesses Acquired and
                        Pro Forma Financial Information

         In accordance  with Item 7 of the  Registrant's  Current Report on Form
8-K dated  July 17,  1996,  the  Registrant  hereby  appends to the Form 8-K the
following financial statements and pro forma financial information:

A.       Keller + Roth Group:

         Financial Statements of Business Acquired

         The following audited  financial  statements of the Keller + Roth Group
         and report are attached hereto as Appendix A:

          1.   Combined Balance Sheet at June 30, 1996
          2.   Combined Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended
               June 30, 1996
          3.   Notes to Combined Financial Statements
          4.   Report of Independent Accountants dated September 4, 1996

          Financial  statements for the Keller + Roth Group's most recent fiscal
          year end,  June 30, 1996,  were  prepared  using a basis of accounting
          principles   accepted  in  Germany  and  audited  in  accordance  with
          generally  accepted  auditing  standards in Germany,  which are in all
          material   respects   consistent  with  generally   accepted  auditing
          standards in the United  States.  Although  this date differs from the
          Registrant's  most recent fiscal year end, it was not  practicable  to
          adjust the  financial  results back to December 31, 1995.  Included in
          Note 2 to the combined  financial  statements  is a discussion  of the
          material  variations  between the methods of preparing  the  financial
          statements  in Germany and those  accepted  under  generally  accepted
          accounting  principles in the United States ("U.S.  GAAP"), as well as
          reconciliations of net income and equity to U.S. GAAP.

B.       BT Office Products International, Inc. and Keller + Roth Group:

         Pro Forma Financial Information

III.     Notes

1.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

During the reporting period the following accounting policies have been applied:

All monetary amounts herein are shown in thousands of Deutsch Marks.  Principles
of Combination - The companies  included in the accompanying  combined financial
statements are as follows:

- - Buroeinrichtungshaus Roth GmbH, Wuppertal,
- - Burosysteme Roth Essen GmbH & Co, Essen,
- - Burosysteme Roth Essen  Beteiligungs-GmbH, Essen,
- - Roth  Organisation KG, Wuppertal,
- - KELLER BUROMATIC GMBH , Ratingen,
- - KELLER  ORGANISATION KG, Ratingen.

For all of the above listed companies,  the full  consolidation  method has been
used.

Intangible  assets - The  intangible  assets  are  valued at  acquisition  cost,
reduced by  amortization.  The  amortization is provided using the straight line
method over 4 to 5 years.

Fixed Assets - The fixed tangible assets are valued at acquisition cost, reduced
by depreciation. The depreciation is provided using the straight line method and
the  declining-balance  method  over the  estimated  useful  lives of the assets
ranging from 2 to 10 years.

Fixed Assets have the following useful live:

         Office equipment  3 - 10 years
         Vehicles          2 - 5 years

Financial assets - The financial assets are valued at acquisition cost.

Inventories  - Valuation of  inventories,  mainly goods  purchased,  is based on
acquisition cost. Obsolescence provisions of 50% are made for spare parts due to
rapid  technological  changes.  A general  provision of 10 % has been set up for
slow moving items.

Accounts  Receivable - Receivables  are presented net of allowances for doubtful
accounts.  Allowances  are  provided  for both the  specific  and general  risks
inherent in receivables.  The general allowance is calculated using a percentage
between 1,5 % and 3 % of the  receivables,  adjusted for special  allowances and
value added tax.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
Prepaid  Expenses - The prepaid  expenses  mainly  consist of prepaid  rents for
peripheral  components  of  copy-systems  for more  than one year that have been
subletted.  Risks from  subletting  have been  taken into  account by setting up
provisions.

Income Taxes - Corporate  income tax has been  calculated  under the  assumption
that profits will be completely distributed.

Pension   Obligations  -  Accruals  and  provisions  for  pensions  and  similar
obligations are determined based on actuarial studies using the entry age method
as defined in the German  tax code (ss.  6a EStG)  based on an assumed  interest
rate of 6 % per annum.

Liabilities - Liabilities are presented at their repayment amounts.

Other  Accruals  - Other  accruals  cover  all  identified  risks  and have been
properly calculated.

2.       SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GERMAN GAAP AND US GAAP

The combined financial statements of the companies ("Acquired  Business") comply
with German GAAP as prescribed by the German  Commercial  Code, which differs in
certain  significant  respects from US GAAP. The significant  differences  which
affect  the  combined  net income and  equity of the  Acquired  Business  are as
follows:

a. Inventory - As allowed by German GAAP, the inventory  allowances for obsolete
and  slow-moving  items and for lower of cost or market may be  determined  on a
more conservative method than acceptable for US GAAP.

b. Sales Type and Finance Leases - The Acquired Business accounts for sales type
leases and  finance  leases on a cash basis as allowed by German  GAAP.  FASB 13
'Accounting for Leases' requires that a lease which transfers  substantially all
the benefits and risks inherent in the ownership of property to be accounted for
as a capital lease.

c.  Warranty  Accrual - As allowed by German GAAP,  the warranty  accrual may be
determined on a more conservative method than acceptable for US GAAP.

d.  Deferred  Taxes - Under German GAAP,  deferred  taxes are  calculated on the
liability  method,  but are  recognized  only to the  extent  that  consolidated
deferred tax liabilities exceed consolidated deferred tax assets. Under US GAAP,
as prescribed by SFAS No. 109 'Accounting for Income Taxes',  deferred taxes are
provided for all temporary differences using enacted tax rates.

Reconciliation  to US  GAAP - The  following  is a  summary  of the  significant
adjustments  to combined  net income and equity for the year ended June 30, 1996
which would be required if US GAAP had been applied instead of German GAAP.

share of profit  claims from  investments  in  affiliates  (TDM 50) and sales of
shares (TDM 40).

managers. The change in the balance during the reporting period is as follows:

<PAGE>



12.      CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Liabilities  from  negotiation and transfer of bills of exchange amount to TDM 6
as per June 30, 1996.

Due to the time lag in Germany  between  when the tax  returns  of the  entities
included in the combined  financial  statements  are filed and the time they are
accepted by the local tax authorities,  various years' tax returns are presently
open and therefore  possibly subject to tax audit and  unfavourable  adjustment.
Management  has  analyzed  this  situation  and  provided  for amounts  which it
currently  considers adequate and therefore believes the ultimate  resolution of
these possible matters will result in no material impact on the combined results
of  operations  or financial  position.  Additionally,  the  companies  would be
entitled to indemnifications  for future possible tax assessments related to tax
returns prior to June 30, 1996, by its sellers due to a respective  provision in
the purchase contract.

13.      COMMITMENTS

Other  financial  commitments  total  TDM  15,521  as  of  June  30,  1996.  The
commitments are as follows:

IV.      Report of Independent Accountants

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Keller and Roth Group
(the 'Acquired  Business')  subject to the Purchase Agreement between the former
owners and the BT Office Products International Inc. as of June 30, 1996 and the
related  combined  statement of  operations  for the year then ended  which,  as
described in Note 2, have been  prepared on the basis of  accounting  principles
accepted in Germany.  These financial  statements are the  responsibility of the
Acquired  Business'  Management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in Germany which are in all material respects consistent with generally accepted
auditing standards in the United States of America. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit  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
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the combined financial position of the Acquired Business
as of June 30, 1996 and the combined  results of their  operations  for the year
then ended in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in
Germany.

Generally accepted accounting  principles in Germany vary in certain significant
respects from  generally  accepted  accounting  principles in the United States.
Application  of generally  accepted  accounting  principles in the United States
would have affected the combined  results of operations  for the year ended June
30, 1996 and  combined  equity as of June 30, 1996 to the extent  summarized  in
Note 2 to the combined financial statements.

                     BT OFFICE PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

        INTRODUCTORY NOTE TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The  following pro forma  combined  balance  sheet,  as of December 31, 1995, is
prepared assuming the Keller + Roth Group acquisition occurred on such date. The
pro forma  combined  statement of  operations,  for the year ended  December 31,
1995, was computed  assuming the transaction was consummated at the beginning of
the fiscal year and thus includes the Keller + Roth Group combined  statement of
operations  for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.  It is not  practicable  to
conform  the  reporting  periods  of the  acquired  business  to  the  Company's
reporting period and thus pro forma financial data for the six months ended June
30, 1996 has been excluded.

The pro forma combined  financial data is based on available  information and on
the certain  assumptions and  adjustments  described in the  accompanying  notes
which BT Office Products  International,  Inc. believes are reasonable.  The pro
forma combined  financial data is provided for  informational  purposes only and
does not  purport to present  the results of  operations  of BT Office  Products
International,  Inc. had the  transactions  assumed therein occurred on or as of
the dates  indicated,  nor are they  necessarily  indicative  of the  results of
operations which may be achieved in the future.
