                         Notes to Financial Statements
                               December 31, 1994


Note 1:  Medium Term Note Program
         ------------------------

     Effective July 1994, the Company began offering to the public from time to
time medium term notes having an aggregate initial offering price not exceeding
$500 million or the equivalent thereof in foreign currency.  These notes are
offered at varying maturities of nine months or more from their dates of issue
and may be subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at
the option of the holder, in whole or in part, prior to the maturity date in
conjunction with meeting specified provisions.  Interest rates are determined
based on market conditions at the time of issuance.  As of December 31, 1994,
$203 million of medium term notes were outstanding with a weighted average
interest rate of 7.4%.

Note 2:  Asset Securitization
         --------------------

     Under an asset securitization agreement entered into in September, 1994 the
Company sold an undivided ownership interest in $125 million of eligible direct
financing lease receivables.  The agreement, which expires in September 1995,
was structured as a revolving securitization so that as collections reduce
previously sold interests, new leases can be sold up to $125 million.  During
the first quarter of fiscal 1995, collections reduced previously sold interests
by $18.8 million.  The Company sold an additional $18.8 million in net eligible
direct financing leases and recognized a $573,000 gain on the sale ($349,500,
net of tax).

Note 3:  Supplemental Information to Statements of Cash Flows
         ----------------------------------------------------

     Interest paid for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 was
$8.2 million and $7 million, respectively.  Cash paid for income taxes was
$247,000 and $101,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Revenues
- --------

Total revenues increased $3.6 million or 23.6% from the three month period ended
December 31, 1993 to the three month period ended December 31, 1994.
Approximately 62% of this increase in revenues was due to increased lease
finance income resulting from additional leases in the portfolio, which
continues to experience growth. During the twelve month period from December
1993 to December 1994, the portfolio grew at a 16.7% rate, net of lease
receivables that were sold in asset securitization transactions. For the same
period, the total portfolio, including securitized assets, grew by 41.5%.
<PAGE>
 
At the start of the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company began
offering a new operating lease product to the Alco Office Products dealer
network, whereby office equipment rented to customers could be funded through
the Company.  At the end of the first quarter, operating leases with equipment
totalling $7.8 million in value, net of accumulated depreciation, were
outstanding.  This new product contributed rental income totalling $567,000 to
total revenues during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Management expects the
use of operating leases to grow steadily over time.

For the first quarter of both fiscal 1995 and 1994, the Company charged Alco
Standard interest at a rate of 6% on the benefit that Alco receives for income
tax deferrals associated with the Company's leasing transactions.  Due to an
increase in the deferred tax base upon which these payments are calculated,
interest earned on deferred taxes rose $495,000 or 61.8% when comparing the
first quarter of fiscal 1994 to the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  At December
31, 1993, the cumulative deferred tax base amounted to $59.6 million and grew to
$84.3 million by December 31, 1994.

Other income, which consists primarily of late payment charges and various
billing fees also increased because of the larger lease portfolio upon which
these fees are based.  Overall, fee income from these sources grew by $298,000
or 46.4%.

Expenses
- --------

Debt to fund the lease portfolio in the form of loans from major banks and the
issuance of medium term notes in the public markets rose by 16.4%, from a total
of $428 million outstanding at December 31, 1993 to $498 million at December 31,
1994.  Interest expense grew by $1.1 million or 17.6% from the first quarter of
fiscal 1994 to the first quarter of fiscal 1995, as a result of the increased
borrowings and an increase in interest rates.  At December 31, 1994, the debt to
equity ratio, including amounts due to Alco Standard Corporation, was at 5.8:1.

Included in the general and administrative expense category is the dealer lease
bonus program which represents special bonus subsidy payments to Alco Office
Products companies based on their new lease volume.  For the three months ended
December 31, 1994, the lease bonus payments were 2% higher or $1,661,000, as
compared to $1,624,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1993. At the
start of fiscal 1995, the Company reduced the bonus subsidy payout to
approximately two-thirds of the fiscal 1994 level, in the anticipation of higher
borrowing costs to fund the portfolio.

Excluding the effect of the lease bonus program, remaining general and
administrative expenses grew $905,000 or 33.3% when comparing the first quarter
of fiscal 1994 to the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  The increase in general and
administrative expenses is indicative of the continued growth of the lease
portfolio and the related rise in the portfolio servicing costs of the Company.

Gain on Sale of Lease Receivables
- ---------------------------------

     Under an asset securitization agreement entered into in September, 1994 the
Company sold an undivided ownership interest in $125 million of eligible direct
financing lease receivables.  The agreement, which expires in September 1995,
was structured as a revolving securitization so that as collections reduce
previously sold interests, new leases can be sold up to $125 million.  During
the first quarter of fiscal 1995, collections reduced previously sold interests
by $18.8 million. The Company sold an additional $18.8 million in net eligible
direct financing leases and recognized a $573,000 gain on the sale ($349,500,
net of tax).

Income Before Taxes
- -------------------

Income before taxes grew by $2.1 million or 44.7%, when comparing pre-tax
earnings for the first quarters of fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994.  This increase
in income before taxes was essentially the net effect of higher earnings on a
larger lease portfolio, that was supplemented by strong growth in other income
and a slower growth rate in general and administrative expenses than was
experienced in fiscal 1994.

Taxes on Income
- ---------------

The $833,000 or 44.8% increase in income taxes from the three month period ended
December 31, 1993 to the three month period ending December 31, 1994 is directly
attributable to the higher income before income taxes in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  The effective tax
rate was 39% for each period.
