Exhibit 99

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
  Eltron International, Inc.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eltron
International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1997,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 1997, 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.
