Report of Independent Auditors
Trustees
Alco Standard Corporation
Defined Contribution Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Alco Standard Corporation Defined Contribution Plan as of September 30,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
September 30, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of September 30, 1994, and transactions or
series of transactions in excess of 5% of the current value of plan assets for
the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying with the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the
financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1994 financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
1994 financial statements taken as a whole.

Alco Standard Corporation Defined Contribution Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1994
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting records of the Alco Standard Corporation Defined Contribution
Plan ("Plan") are maintained on the accrual basis.
Fair value of investments in Alco Standard Corporation Common Stock is
determined by use of the last reported sales price on the last business day of
the plan year, as reported on a national securities exchange.
Cash equivalents are valued at cost which is equal to market value. All highly
liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased are
considered to be cash equivalents.
Investment funds consist of a managed income fund, a fixed income fund, an
equity index fund, a balanced fund, and a treasury fund. The managed income
fund is managed jointly by an insurance company and two trust companies. The
other investment funds are managed by a bank.
Investments in the Managed Income Fund are valued at contract value which
represents investments made under the contract, plus interest at the contract
rate, less funds used to pay retirement benefits and to pay for the manager's
administrative expenses. Investments in the Equity Index Fund, Balanced Fund,
Fixed Income Fund, and Treasury Fund are stated at fair market value which is
determined on the last day of the plan year based on the portfolio of
investments owned by the particular fund on that date.
The difference between the proceeds and cost of investments sold during the year
and the change in the difference between September 30 market value and cost is
reflected in the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits as
realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the aggregate market
value of investments.
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
presentation.
2. Description of the Plan
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established on October 1, 1989 by Alco
Standard Corporation ("Company") to consolidate all of the Company's frozen
defined contribution plans into a single plan.

<PAGE>
Alco Standard Corporation Defined Contribution Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Description of the Plan (continued)
The Plan provides for retirement, disability, and death benefits. It is subject
to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The Plan is frozen, therefore, there are no further employer or employee
contributions made to the Plan.
Participants in the Plan may allocate their account between investments in Alco
Standard Corporation Common Stock or any of five available investment funds.
Participants may change investment allocations at any time, but not more
frequently than twice in the twelve-month period which begins with an investment
change.
All participants are fully vested in their account balances.
The Plan does not permit new loans to participants. Loans to participants of
plans merged into the Plan that are outstanding at the date of the merger will
continue under the former plans' terms except that the trustee of the Plan shall
be substituted as payee and secured party for the trustee of the former plan.
Administrative expenses are paid by the Plan unless paid by the Company.
The following plans were merged into the Plan on the effective dates indicated.

5. Income Tax Status
The trust established under the Plan to hold the Plan's assets is qualified
pursuant to the appropriate section of the Internal Revenue Code and,
accordingly, the trust's net investment income is exempt from income taxes. The
Plan has obtained a favorable tax determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service and the Plan sponsor believes that the Plan continues to qualify and to
operate as designed.
