</TABLE>

Revenues
- --------

Total revenues increased $12.9 million or 67.7% in the first quarter of fiscal
1996 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Approximately 71.3% or $9.2
million of this increase in revenues was a result of increased lease finance
income due to growth in the portfolio of direct financing and funded leases.
During the twelve month period from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995, the
portfolio grew at a  63.8% rate, net of lease receivables that were sold in
asset securitization transactions.

Effective October 1, 1994, the Company began offering a new operating lease
program to the AOP dealer network, whereby office equipment placed on rental
with a customer, with cancellable terms, could be funded through the Company and
rented back to the AOP dealer.  In prior years, this equipment was funded by the
respective AOP dealer.  At December 31, 1995, equipment with a net book value of
$29.7 million was leased under this program, compared to $7.8 million at
December 31, 1994, resulting in rental income of $3.2 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $567,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
<PAGE>
 
Effective October 1, 1995, management decided to revert back to its previous
strategy for funding this rental equipment.  The majority of the equipment, with
the exception of large transactions generally exceeding $250,000 in amount, will
once again be funded by the respective AOP dealer, rather than the Company.
Accordingly, management expects operating leases funded through the Company to
be at a reduced level during fiscal 1996.

The Company continues to charge Alco interest on the benefit Alco receives for
income tax deferrals associated with the Company's leasing transactions. By
agreement with Alco, the Company earns interest on the deferred tax balances at
a rate consistent with the Company's average cost of capital. Under this
agreement, the Company earned interest at a 6.8% rate for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996, compared to 6.0% during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  At
December 31, 1995, the deferred tax base upon which these payments are
calculated increased to $123.6 million, from $84.3 million at December 31, 1994.
Due to the combined effect of the increased rate of interest and the increased
deferred tax balances, interest on Alco income tax deferrals rose $593,000 or
45.8% when comparing the three months ended December 31, 1995 to the three
months ended December 31, 1994.

Other income consists primarily of late payment charges and various billing
fees. The structure of these fees has remained basically unchanged from fiscal
1995. The growth in other income from fees is primarily due to the increased
size of the lease portfolio upon which these fees are based. Overall, fee income
from these sources grew by $428,000 or 45.5%, when comparing the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 to the same period of fiscal 1995.

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 71.7%, to a total of
$855 million outstanding at December 31, 1995, up from $498 million outstanding
at December 31, 1994. Due to the combined effect of increased borrowing to fund
the portfolio and an increase in the Company's overall weighted average interest
rate on all borrowings, interest expense grew by $6.4 million or 90.3% when
comparing the first three months of fiscal 1996 to the first three months of
fiscal 1995.  The Company's average cost of capital was 6.8% at December 31,
1995 as compared to 6.5% at December 31, 1994. At December 31, 1995, the
Company's debt to equity ratio, including intercompany amounts due from Alco,
was 5.9 to 1.

Total general and administrative expenses grew by approximately $3.0 million or
56.5%, when comparing the first three months of fiscal 1996 to the same period
of fiscal 1995. However, depreciation expense on leased equipment  increased to
$3.0 million for the first three months of fiscal 1996, compared to $457,000 for
the first three months of fiscal 1995.  In addition, lease bonus subsidy
payments to AOP dealers were $449,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996
compared to $1.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 due to the
suspension of the program in October and November 1995.  Management currently
intends to continue the program for the remainder of the fiscal year at levels
consistent with fiscal 1995.

Excluding the effects of the additional depreciation expense on operating leases
and the reduction of dealer lease bonus payments in the first quarter of fiscal
1996, remaining general and administrative expenses grew $1.7 million or 52.4%,
when comparing the first quarter of fiscal 1996 to the first quarter of fiscal
1995. This increase is a direct result of the growth of the serviced lease
portfolio.

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

Under an asset securitization program entered into in September 1994, the
Company sold an undivided ownership interest in $125 million of eligible direct
financing lease receivables. This agreement, which expires in September 1996,
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
three months ended December 31, 1995, collections reduced previously sold
interests by approximately $13.2 million. The Company sold an additional $13.2
million in net eligible direct financing leases during the quarter and
recognized gains of $312,000.

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

Income before taxes grew by $3.5 million or 51.1%, when comparing the first
quarters of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995.  This increase resulted primarily from
higher earnings on a larger lease portfolio base, partially offset by higher
borrowing costs due to the increased debt to fund the portfolio and a slightly
higher average cost of debt.

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

The $1.6 million or 58.8% increase in income taxes in the three month period
ended December 31, 1995 compared to the three month period ended December 31,
1994 is directly attributable to the higher income before taxes in the first
three months of fiscal 1996 as compared to the first three months of fiscal
1995. The effective tax rate was 41% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 as
compared to an effective tax rate of 39% for the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

[Letterhead of ALCO Standard Corporation]

                  ALCO STANDARD COMMENTS ON STRATEGIC OPTIONS


VALLEY FORGE, PENNSYLVANIA--FEBRUARY 6, 1996--In response to a security analyst 
report issued today, Alco Standard Corporation confirmed that it continues to 
consider the possibility of establishing Alco Office Products and Unisource as 
separate public companies.


John Stuart, Alco's chairman and chief executive officer, said "Our goal remains
to take all appropriate steps to insure long-term growth for shareholders. We 
believe that as separately capitalized and managed companies, AOP and Unisource 
may have better long-term growth prospects than under common ownership. There 
are many complex structural and operational issues which will need to be 
evaluated before we will be in position to come to any judgment on what course 
of action, if any, should be taken."


No timetable has been established for finalizing any decisions concerning such 
a transaction.


Alco Standard Corporation is headquartered in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Alco 
operates the largest independent marketer and distributor of office equipment in
North America and the United Kingdom through Alco Office Products and is the 
largest marketer and distributor of paper and supply systems in North America 
through Unisource Worldwide, Inc. Revenues for fiscal year 1995, which ended 
September 30, were nearly $10 billion.
