              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               December 31, 1996


  Note 1:  Spin-off and Basis of Presentation
           ----------------------------------

           Effective December 31, 1996, one share of Unisource Worldwide, Inc.
  (the "Company" or "Unisource") common stock was distributed to holders of Alco
  Standard Corporation ("Alco") common stock for every two shares of Alco common
  stock owned at the established record date ( the "Spin-off").  Effective
  January 23, 1997, Alco changed its name to IKON Office Solutions, Inc. 
  ("IKON"). At the time of the Spin-off, the Company became a separate publicly
  owned company.

            The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included
  herein have been prepared on the historical cost basis and present the
  Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows as derived
  from IKON's historical financial statements, except that the method of
  allocation of general corporate expenses has been changed to more
  appropriately reflect the Company's actual use of corporate services. IKON's
  interest expense on consolidated borrowings for the three months ended
  December 31, 1995 was allocated to Unisource based on the relationship of its
  net assets to consolidated IKON net assets.  The Company's interest expense
  for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was based on its actual
  borrowings, including notes and advances payable to IKON and borrowings under
  the Company's credit facility described in Note 2.

            The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
  statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
  principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q
  and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of management, all
  adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
  a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the
  three months ended December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
  results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997.
  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
  financial statements and notes thereto of the Company included in its Form 10
  Registration Statement that became effective November 26, 1996.

  Note 2:  Debt
           ----

            On November 22, 1996, the Company entered into a $1,000,000,000
  five-year unsecured revolving credit facility. The credit facility includes
  multicurrency options for up to $100,000,000 in Pounds Sterling, Deutsche
  Marks and French Francs and a $100,000,000 subfacility for Canadian dollar
  loans. Borrowings under the revolver bear interest at either the Alternate
  Base Rate (as defined) or LIBOR


                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>
 
  plus a spread equal to 18.5 basis points during the initial six months of the
  credit facility.  After the initial six month period, the LIBOR spread will
  range from 14.5 to 30 basis points, depending on certain financial ratios or
  credit ratings.  The credit facility provides for certain fees, including a
  facility fee and utilization fee.  The facility fee ranges from 8 to 15 basis
  points per annum on the full amount of the credit facility, determined in a
  manner consistent with the LIBOR spread described above.  A utilization fee of
  5 basis points per annum accrues on the aggregate amount of all loans
  outstanding during the initial six months of the credit facility and 5 basis
  points per annum thereafter each day the aggregate amount of all loans under
  the credit facility exceeds two-thirds of the aggregate commitment.  The
  credit facility includes financial covenants requiring a ratio of funded debt
  to capitalization of less than 55% and a minimum net worth of $745,000,000
  plus 50% of consolidated net income (without deduction for losses) after the
  date of the credit facility.

            The amount outstanding under this facility at December 31, 1996 was
  $589,000,000.  The majority of these proceeds were used to repay intercompany
  debt to IKON in conjunction with the Spin-off.

  Note 3:  Earnings Per Share and Pro Forma Earnings per Share
           ---------------------------------------------------

            Earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 1996 was
  calculated based on the number of Company shares issued and outstanding as of
  December 31, 1996 plus the dilutive effect of stock options.

            Pro Forma earnings per share for the three months ended December 31,
  1995 includes additional pro forma interest expense of $3,741,000 ($2,259,000
  net of tax), which assumes that the Spin-off occurred on October 1, 1995.  The
  same share base that was used for the December 31, 1996 earnings per share
  calculation was used for the pro forma calculation.

</TABLE>

  Revenues increased $13 million, or 0.7% to $1.73 billion in the first quarter
  of fiscal 1997, compared to the first quarter of the prior year.  This change
  is due to increases associated with current and prior year acquisitions of
  $152 million, which were offset by revenue declines of $139 million in base
  operations.  The decline in base operations is principally due to an estimated
  decrease in average paper prices of 17% compared to the same period last year.
  The price deflation was partially offset by volume gains in the base
  operations.

  Gross margins increased by $30.6 million, or 11.4% to $300.1 million. This
  change is due to increases associated with current and prior year acquisitions
  of  $39.8 million, offset by declines of $9.2 million in base operations.
  Gross margin percentages rose to 17.4% from 15.7% of revenues due to lower
  costs from suppliers for many products, higher margin percentages generated by
  acquired companies, and a higher proportion of Unisource warehouse delivered
  (versus mill direct) sales.

  Selling and administrative expense increased by $35.7 million, or 16.3%,
  including $30 million related to current and prior year acquisitions.

  Operating income decreased $5.1 million,  or 10.1%. Current and prior year
  acquisitions contributed an incremental $9.8 million of operating income.
  Operating income from base operations declined $14.9 million, primarily due to
  paper price declines which were

  partially offset by improvement in gross margin percentages and volume
  increases.  Operating margins were 2.6% of revenues for the first quarter of
  1997 compared to 2.9% in the prior year.

  Interest expense increased by $3.5 million to $10.4 million during the first
  three months of fiscal 1997 compared to the prior year.  The increase was
  attributable to higher average outstanding borrowings due to the
  recapitalization of the Company as of September 30, 1996 in anticipation of
  the Spin-off from IKON.  The $6.9 million of interest expense for the first
  three months of fiscal 1996 represents an allocation of IKON's outside
  interest expense based on the relationship of the Company's net assets to
  IKON's net assets, plus some interest associated with direct indebtedness of
  the Company. Interest expense on a pro forma basis for the first three months
  of fiscal 1996 was $10.6 million assuming that the Spin-off occurred on
  October 1, 1995.

  Foreign Operations

  Revenues from foreign operations increased $1.2 million  to $216.2 million in
  fiscal 1997.  Revenues from Canadian operations decreased $13.6 million to
  $182 million, while revenues from Mexican operations increased $13.7 million
  to $26.9 million and revenues from foreign sales offices (Vienna and Hong
  Kong) increased $1.1 million to $7.2 million.  The decrease in Canadian
  revenues was attributable to declining paper prices, while the increase in
  Mexico was the result of acquisitions.

  Operating income from foreign operations decreased $2.3 million to $7.2
  million in fiscal 1997.  Canadian operating income decreased $2 million to
  $6.3 million due to lower paper prices.  Mexican operating income was flat at
  $1.4 million with the increase from acquisitions being offset by a decline in
  paper prices.  The foreign sales offices operating income decreased by $0.3
  million.

  There was no material effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on
  the results of operations during the first three months of fiscal 1997
  compared to the first three months of fiscal 1996.


                       Financial Condition and Liquidity
                       ---------------------------------

  Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal
  1997 was $24.2 million. Included in operating activities were cash
  expenditures of $5.9 million in connection with the Company's restructuring
  programs. Remaining restructuring cash expenditures are estimated at $24
  million. During the same period $5.7 million in cash was used for investing
  activities which included deferred cost expenditures of $17.7 million
  principally associated with  the development of the Company's new Information
  Technology system, capital expenditures of $7.7 million and acquisition
  expenditures of $3.3 million. Investing activity expenditures were partially
  offset by proceeds received from the sale of property and the collection of
  notes receivable.  Cash provided by


                                     - 10 -

  financing activities of $13.9 million included net proceeds received from
  borrowings under the Company's Credit Facility of $589 million offset by a
  $553.5 million net debt repayment to IKON and $21.6 million of other third
  party debt payments.

  On December 31,1996, total debt of $628 million was outstanding.  The Company
  had a total of $1 billion in bank credit commitments as of December 31, 1996,
  of which $411 million was unused and available.

  In January 1997, the Company declared a dividend on its Common Stock of  $.20
  per share payable March 10, 1997 to shareholders of record on February 24,
  1997.

  The Company intends to file a shelf registration for 5 million shares of
  common stock in February 1997, which will be primarily used for acquisitions.

  The Company believes that its operating cash flow, together with financing
  arrangements, will be sufficient to finance current operating requirements,
  including capital expenditures, acquisitions, other cash requirements, and
  future dividends.
