                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1996


Note 1:   Basis of Presentation
          ---------------------

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 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. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's report on Form 10-K for the year
ended September 30, 1995. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current year presentation.


Note 2:   Medium Term Note Program
          ------------------------

     During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, IKON Capital issued an
additional $397.9 million under its medium term note program. At June 30, 1996,
$969.9 million of medium term notes remain outstanding with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.7%, leaving $500.1 million available under this program.


Note 3:   Asset Securitization
          --------------------

     Under its $125 million asset securitization agreement commenced in
September 1994, IKON Capital sold $39.6 million of direct financing leases
during the first nine months of fiscal 1996, replacing leases which had been
liquidated during the period and recognized a pretax gain of $918,000. Under the
terms of the sales agreement, the Company continues to service the sold lease
portfolio.

Note 4:   Other Developments
          ------------------

     On April 17, 1996, Alco announced that its Board of Directors has approved
the structuring of its businesses, IKON Office Solutions and Unisource, under
separate ownership in order to maximize the future growth potential of both
businesses. On June 19, 1996, Alco announced that Unisource would be spun off
through a tax-free distribution of Unisource stock to Alco shareholders. The
transaction is expected to be completed by the end of calendar year 1996, and
Unisource will then be a separately owned public company. Management does not
believe that this transaction will have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

Revenues
- --------

Total revenues increased $14.6 million or 58.1% in the third quarter of fiscal
1996 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  Approximately 82.3% or $12.0
million of this increase in revenues was a result of increased lease finance
income due to continued growth in the portfolio of direct financing and funded
leases.  During the twelve month period from June 30, 1995 to June 30, 1996, the
portfolio grew at a 60.4% 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 IKON dealer network, whereby office equipment placed on rental
with a customer, with cancelable terms, could be funded through the Company and
rented back to the IKON dealer.  In prior years, this equipment was funded by
the respective IKON dealer instead of the Company.  At June 30, 1996, equipment
with a net book value of $29.8 million was leased under this program, compared
to $18.8 million at June 30, 1995, resulting in rental income of $3.7 million in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $2.2 million in the third quarter
of fiscal 1995.

The Company continues to charge Alco interest on the benefit that Alco receives
for income tax deferrals associated with the Company's leasing transactions.  By
agreement with Alco, the Company earns interest income on the deferred tax
balances at a rate consistent with the Company's average cost of debt.
Under this agreement, the Company earned interest at a 6.8% rate for the third
quarter of fiscal 1996, compared to 6.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 1995.
At June 30, 1996, the deferred tax base upon which these payments are calculated
increased to $142.0 million, up from $102.4 million at June 30, 1995.  Due to
the combined effect of the increased rate of interest and the increased deferred
tax balances, interest on Alco income tax deferrals rose $671,000 or 41.9% when
comparing the three months ended June 30, 1996 to the three months ended June
30, 1995.

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 $400,000 or 33.8%, when comparing the third quarter
of fiscal 1996 to the same period of fiscal 1995.

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 54.4%, to a total of
$1.05 billion outstanding at June 30, 1996, up from $682 million outstanding at
June 30, 1995. 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 $5.8 million or 59.6% when
comparing the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to the third quarter of fiscal 1995.
At June 30, 1996, the Company's debt to equity ratio, including intercompany
amounts due to Alco, was 6.0 to 1.

Total general and administrative expenses grew by approximately $3.6 million or
49.6%, when comparing the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to the same period of
fiscal 1995. However, the general and administrative category includes
depreciation expense on leased equipment which was higher in the third quarter
of fiscal 1996 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995, due to growth in
the balance of leased equipment.  Depreciation expense was $3.3 million for the
third quarter of fiscal 1996 and $2.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal
1995.  In addition, lease bonus subsidy payments to IKON dealers were $2.0
million for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $1.8 million for the
third quarter of fiscal 1995.

Excluding the effects of the additional depreciation expense on operating leases
and the additional dealer lease bonus payments in the third quarter of fiscal
1996, remaining general and administrative expenses grew $2.0 million or 58.8%,
when comparing the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to the third 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 March 1997, 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 June 30, 1996, collections reduced previously sold
interests by approximately $13.1 million.  The Company sold an additional $13.1
million in net eligible direct financing leases during the quarter and
recognized gains of $329,000.

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

Income before taxes increased by $5.2 million or 61.7%, when comparing the third
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 lease portfolio and a
slightly higher average cost of debt in fiscal 1996 versus fiscal 1995.

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

The $2.2 million or 68% increase in income taxes in the three month period ended
June 30, 1996 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 1995 is directly
attributable to the higher income before taxes in the third quarter of fiscal
1996 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  The effective tax rate
was 41% for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared to an effective tax
rate of 39.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 1995.

Revenues
- --------

Total revenues increased $41.2 million or 62.8% in the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1995.  Approximately 77%
or $31.7 million of this increase in revenues was a result of increased lease
finance income due to continued growth in the portfolio of direct financing and
funded leases.  During the twelve month period from June 30, 1995 to June 30,
1996, the portfolio grew at a 60.4% rate, net of lease receivables that were
sold in asset securitization transactions.
<PAGE>
 
Effective October 1, 1994, the Company began offering a new operating lease
program to the IKON dealer network, whereby office equipment placed on rental
with a customer, with cancelable terms, could be funded through the Company and
rented back to the IKON dealer.  In prior years, this equipment was funded by
the respective IKON dealer instead of the Company.  At June 30, 1996, equipment
with a net book value of $29.8 million was leased under this program, compared
to $18.8 million at June 30, 1995, resulting in rental income of $10.3 million
for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 as compared to $4.1 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 1995.

The Company continues to charge Alco interest on the benefit that Alco receives
for income tax deferrals associated with the Company's leasing transactions.  By
agreement with Alco, the Company earns interest income on the deferred tax
balances at a rate consistent with the Company's average cost of debt.  Under
this agreement, the Company earned interest at a 6.8% rate for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996, compared to 6.6% for the first nine months of fiscal
1995. At June 30, 1996, the deferred tax base upon which these payments are
calculated increased to $142.0 million, up from $102.4 million at June 30, 1995.
Due to the combined effect of the increased rate of interest and the increased
deferred tax balances, interest on Alco income tax deferrals rose $1.9 million
or 42.9%, when comparing the first nine months of fiscal 1996 to the first nine
months of fiscal 1995.

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 $1.4 million or 40.8%, when comparing the
first nine months 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 54.4%, to a total of
$1.05 billion outstanding at June 30, 1996, up from $682 million outstanding at
June 30, 1995.  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 $17.7 million or 71%, when
comparing the first nine months of fiscal 1996 to the first nine months of
fiscal 1995.  At June 30, 1996, the Company's debt to equity ratio, including
intercompany amounts due to Alco, was 6.0 to 1.

Total general and administrative expenses grew by approximately $10.5 million or
54.7%, when comparing the nine month period ending June 30, 1996 to the nine
month period ending June 30, 1995.  However, the general and administrative
category includes depreciation expense on leased equipment which was higher in
the first nine months of fiscal 1996 as compared to the first nine months of
fiscal 1995, due to growth in the balance of leased equipment.  Depreciation
expense was $9.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 and $3.6
million for the first nine months of fiscal 1995.  Additionally, lease bonus
subsidy payments to IKON dealers were $4.5 million during the first nine months
of fiscal 1996 compared to $5.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal
1995.  This reduction was due to the suspension of the program during the first
two months of fiscal 1996. This program, which was reinstated in December 1995,
is expected to continue for the remainder of fiscal 1996 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, the remaining general and
administrative expenses grew $5.9 million or 60.6%, when comparing the first
nine months of fiscal 1996 to the same period of fiscal 1995.  This increase is
a direct result of growth of the serviced lease portfolio.

Gain of 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 March 1997 and
can be renewed, 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 nine months of fiscal 1996, collections reduced
previously sold interest by approximately $39.6 million.  The Company sold an
additional $39.6 million in net eligible direct financing leases during the
first nine months of fiscal 1996 and recognized gains of $918,000.

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

Income before taxes increased $13 million or 58.2%, when comparing the first
nine months 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 lease portfolio and
a slightly higher average cost of debt in fiscal 1996 versus fiscal 1995.

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

The $5.8 million or 67.3% increase in income taxes in the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1995 is directly
attributable to the higher income before taxes in fiscal 1996 as compared to
fiscal 1995.  The effective tax rate was 41% for the first nine months of fiscal
1996 as compared to an effective tax rate of 38.8% for the first nine months of
fiscal 1995.
