                    BRISTOL RETAIL SOLUTIONS, MIAMI COMPANY
                       AGREE TO RESCIND MERGER AGREEMENT

        NEWPORT BEACH, CA, July 23, 1997 - Bristol Retail Solutions, Inc.
(BRTL:NASDAQ) and privately-held International Systems & Electronics, Inc.
(ISE) today announced they have agreed to rescind the merger of ISE into
Bristol. 

        The transaction between ISE, a Miami, Florida point-of-sale (POS)
systems dealer, and Newport Beach-based Bristol was announced in May.

        The expanding focus by ISE on Central and Latin America was in conflict
with Bristol's current strategy of building market share in the United States
through a national network of POS dealers, the companies said. It was
determined that both Bristol and ISE could more effectively achieve their
respective business development objectives as separate companies, the two
organizations stated.

        Bristol operations, excluding ISE, generated $26.9 million in revenues
for the year ending December 31, 1996. ISE reported $4.8 million in revenues
for the same period. Bristol said it would take a charge of under $100,000 for 
legal and accounting expenses in connection with the merger rescission.

        ISE sells and services POS systems manufactured by NCR which are
installed and serviced in supermarkets, restaurants and other retail
establishments.

        Bristol provides retail automation solutions through its network of POS
dealers and systems integrators.
