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.
