                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 1999

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, 1998.  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, 1999,  IOS Capital,  Inc.  (the
"Company")  issued no medium term notes under its $3.5 billion  medium term note
program.  At  June  30,  1999,  $1,463.9  million  of  medium  term  notes  were
outstanding  with a weighted average interest rate of 6.5%. The remaining amount
available under this program is $1,123.3 million.


Note 3: Asset Securitization

         In December  1998,  the Company  entered  into an asset  securitization
transaction whereby it sold $366.6 million in direct financing lease receivables
for $250 million in cash and a retained interest in the remainder. The agreement
is for an  initial  three  year term with  certain  renewal  provisions  and was
structured as a revolving  asset  securitization  so that as collections  reduce
previously sold interests in this new pool of leases,  additional  leases can be
sold up to $250  million.  The terms of the  agreement  require that the Company
continue to service the lease portfolio. The Company recognized a pretax gain of
$14.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1999 on this agreement.  On May
25, 1999, the Company  repurchased the leases sold in this  transaction with the
proceeds from the lease-backed notes described below.

         The Company has  additional  asset  securitization  agreements for $275
million of eligible direct financing receivables that expire in March 2000 ($125
million)  and  September  1999  ($150  million).  Both of these  agreements  are
expected  to  be  renewed.   These   agreements   are  structured  as  revolving
securitizations, whereby additional leases can be sold as collections reduce the
previously  sold  interests.  During  the first  nine  months  of  fiscal  1999,
collections  reduced  previously  sold interests on these two agreements and the
$250 million  transaction,  described above, by $125.1 million. The Company sold
an  additional  $125.1  million  in net  eligible  direct  financing  leases and
recognized  pretax  gains of $10.1  million for the nine  months  ended June 30,
1999.

Note 4: Lease-backed Notes

         On May 19, 1999,  IKON  Receivables,  LLC (an affiliate of the Company)
publicly issued  approximately  $752 million of lease-backed notes (the "Notes")
under a $1.825 billion shelf  registration  statement.  Class A-1 Notes totaling
$304,474,000  have a stated  interest  rate of 5.11%,  Class A-2 Notes  totaling
$61,579,000  have a stated  interest  rate of 5.60%,  Class  A-3 Notes  totaling
$304,127,000  have a stated  interest rate of 5.99% and Class A-4 Notes totaling
$81,462,000 have a stated interest rate of 6.23%. The transaction was structured
using two special purpose limited liability companies: IKON Receivables-1,  LLC,
of which the Company is the sole  member,  and IKON  Receivables,  LLC, of which
IKON  Receivables-1,  LLC is the sole member.  The Company  contributed  to IKON
Receivables-1,  LLC a pool of office  equipment  leases or contracts and related
assets (the "Asset Pool"), and IKON Receivables-1,  LLC transferred them to IKON
Receivables, LLC, which is the issuer of the Notes. The Notes are secured by the
Asset Pool and the  payments on the Notes are made from  payments on the leases.
The Company received approximately $749 million in net proceeds from the sale of
the Notes and used $250  million of that amount to  repurchase  previously  sold
assets in  connection  with the asset  securitization  transaction  completed in
December  1998.  The  repurchased  assets were  contributed as part of the Asset
Pool.  Restricted  cash on the  balance  sheet  represents  cash  that  has been
collected  on the lease  receivables  in the Asset  Pool,  which must be used to
repay the Notes.

Note 5:  Comprehensive Income

         As of October 1, 1998,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). SFAS
130 establishes rules for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive income
and its components. SFAS 130 requires mark to market adjustments on the retained
interest on lease receivables to be included in other comprehensive income.

         Total comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands):

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations


Pursuant to General  Instruction H(2)(a) of Form 10-Q, the following analysis of
the results of operations is presented in lieu of  Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Impact of Year 2000

State of  Readiness.  The Year 2000 issue arises from  computer  programs  being
written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable  year. Any of
the Company's computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or
embedded technology (non-IT systems) may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900  rather  than the year  2000.  This  could  result in a system  failure  or
miscalculations  causing  disruptions  of  operations,  including,  among  other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions,  send invoices, or engage
in similar normal business  activities.  The potential for a problem exists with
all  computer  hardware  and  software,  as well as in  products  with  embedded
technology: copiers and fax machines; security and HVAC systems; voice/telephony
systems; elevators, etc.

IKON has appointed a Year 2000 Corporate  Compliance  Team, which has prepared a
compliance  program  for all  business  units,  including  the  Company,  and is
responsible  for  coordination  and  inspecting  compliance  activities  in  all
business units. The compliance program requires all business units and locations
in every country to inventory potentially affected systems and products,  assess
risk, take any required corrective actions, test and certify compliance.  IKON's
Year  2000  Testing  and  Certification   Guidelines  delineate  the  Year  2000
compliance process, testing and quality assurance guidelines,  certification and
reporting processes and contingency planning. An independent  consulting company
has reviewed the compliance program.

The  Company's  Year 2000  compliance  program has five phases:  1) inventory of
internal IT and non-IT  systems;  2) risk assessment of the Year 2000 compliance
issues  associated with such internal IT and non-IT  systems;  3) remediation of
non-compliant  systems; 4) testing and validation of remediated systems;  and 5)
implementation  of remediated  systems  throughout the Company.  The progress to
date of each of these  phases is as follows:  1) internal IT and non-IT  systems
have been inventoried;  2) appropriate risk assessments have been completed;  3)
remediation of critical systems has been substantially completed and remediation
of non-critical  systems is  progressing;  4) testing and validation of critical
systems has been substantially completed; and 5) Year 2000 compliant versions of
critical  systems are in the process of being  implemented in field  operations.
The Company  anticipates  completing the Year 2000 project no later than October
31, 1999,  which is prior to any  anticipated  material  impact on its operating
systems.

Costs. The Company will use both internal and external resources to reprogram or
replace, test and implement its IT and non-IT systems for Year 2000
modifications. The Company does not separately track the internal costs incurred
on the Year 2000 project. Such costs are principally payroll and related costs
for its internal IT personnel. The total cost of the Year 2000 project,
excluding these internal costs, is estimated at $1.4 million and is being funded
through operating cash flows, all of which will be expensed as incurred. Through
June 30, 1999, the Company has expensed approximately $833,000 related to its
Year 2000 project.


<PAGE>
Risks. Management believes,  based on the information currently available to it,
that the most  reasonably  likely  worse case  scenario  that could be caused by
technology  failures  relating to the Year 2000 could pose a significant  threat
not  only  to  the  Company,  IKON,  its  customers  and  suppliers,  but to all
businesses. Risks include, but are not limited to:

o    Legal risks, including customer, supplier, employee or shareholder lawsuits
     over failure to deliver contracted services, product failure, or health and
     safety issues.
o    Loss of revenues due to failure to meet customer quality expectations.
o    Increased  operational costs due to manual  processing,  data corruption or
     disaster recovery.
o    Inability to bill or invoice.

The cost of the project  and the date on which IKON and the  Company  believe it
will  complete  the Year  2000  modifications  are  based in  management's  best
estimates,  which were derived  using  numerous  assumptions  of future  events,
including the continued  availability  of certain  resources and other  factors.
However,  there can be no guarantee  that these  estimates  will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.  Specific factors
that might cause such material  differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability  and cost of personnel  trained in this area, the ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes, and other uncertainties.

Contingency Plans. IKON's Guidelines require that contingency plans be developed
and  validated in the event that any  critical  system  cannot be corrected  and
certified  before the system's failure date. The Company and IKON expect to have
contingency  plans in place by October 31, 1999. In addition,  IKON is forming a
rapid response team as part of its IT group that will respond to any operational
problems during the Year 2000 date change period.


                   Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared
                    with the Three Months Ended June 30, 1998

Revenues

Total revenues decreased by approximately  $938,000 or 1.3% in the third quarter
of fiscal  1999  compared to the third  quarter of fiscal  1998.  Lease  finance
income decreased by approximately  $2.4 million due to the effect of the sale of
$366.6  million  in direct  financing  leases in  December  1998  under an asset
securitization  transaction.  The lease portfolio, net of lease receivables sold
in asset securitization  transactions,  increased by 7.9 % from June 30, 1998 to
June 30, 1999.

Office  equipment placed on rental by the IKON  marketplaces to customers,  with
cancelable  terms, may be purchased by the Company.  During the third quarter of
fiscal 1999, the Company  purchased  operating  lease  equipment of $.3 million,
compared to $17.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  Operating leases
contributed  $8.7 million in rental  income  during the third  quarter of fiscal
1999,  compared to $10.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.  Effective
October 1, 1998, the Company has limited the funding of rental  equipment to the
IKON marketplaces to select accounts.

The Company earns  interest  income on the deferred tax  liabilities of the IKON
marketplaces  associated  with  leases  funded  through  the  Company  at a rate
consistent  with  the  Company's  weighted  average  outside  borrowing  rate of
interest.  The  Company's  average rate was 6.4% for the third quarter of fiscal
1999  compared to 6.5% for the third  quarter of fiscal  1998.  The deferred tax
base upon  which  these  payments  are  calculated  increased  by 1.1% to $262.2
million at June 30, 1999 from $259.4  million at June 30,  1998.  Primarily as a
result of the increased  deferred tax  liabilities,  interest income on deferred
taxes rose by $418,000 or 10.6% when  comparing  the three months ended June 30,
1999 to the three months ended June 30, 1998.

Other income  consists  primarily of late  payment  charges and various  billing
fees.  The growth in other  income from fees is primarily  due to the  increased
size of the lease portfolio, including securitized leases, upon which these fees
are based. Overall, fee income from these sources grew by $2.5 million or 80.8%,
when  comparing  the third  quarter of fiscal  1999 to the same period of fiscal
1998.

Expenses

Borrowings  to finance the lease  portfolio  in the form of loans from banks and
the issuance of medium term notes and  lease-backed  notes in the public  market
increased by 13.7% from the prior year,  with $2,160.4  million  outstanding  at
June  30,  1999.  The  Company  paid a  weighted  average  interest  rate on all
borrowings  of 6.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to 6.5% for the
third  quarter of fiscal 1998. As a result of the  lease-backed  notes issued in
May 1999,  interest expense  increased by $957,000,  or 3.5%, when comparing the
third  quarter of fiscal 1999 to the third  quarter of fiscal 1998.  At June 30,
1999, the Company's  debt to equity ratio,  including  intercompany  amounts due
from IKON, was 5.4 to 1.

Total  general and  administrative  expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
decreased by $2.2 million or 12.4%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
The general and  administrative  expense category in the third quarter of fiscal
1999 includes  depreciation  expense on leased equipment  totaling $7.3 million,
compared to $8.5  million for the third  quarter of fiscal  1998.  In  addition,
lease bonus subsidy payments included in the general and administrative  expense
category  were $3.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to $3.7
million  in  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1998.  Excluding  the  effects  of
depreciation  expense on operating  leases and a decrease in lease bonus subsidy
payments, remaining general and administrative expenses decreased by $318,000 or
5.8%,  when  comparing  the third quarter of fiscal 1999 to the third quarter of
fiscal 1998.

Gain on Sale of Lease Receivables

The Company has asset  securitization  agreements  for $525  million of eligible
direct financing  receivables.  These agreements  expire in September 1999 ($150
million),   March  2000  ($125  million)  and  November  2001  ($250   million),
respectively.  The March and  September  agreements  totaling  $275  million are
expected  to  be  renewed.   The   agreements   are   structured   as  revolving
securitizations, whereby additional leases can be sold as collections reduce the
previously sold interests.  During the third quarter of fiscal 1999, collections
reduced  previously  sold  interests on all  securitization  agreements by $42.1
million.  The Company sold an additional  $42.1  million in net eligible  direct
financing leases and recognized  pretax gains of $3.5 million.  On May 25, 1999,
$250 million of assets  securitized  under the agreement  expiring November 2001
were repurchased by the Company with the proceeds of the lease-backed  notes. As
a result of the repurchase, the $250 million commitment remains available.

Income Before Income Taxes

Income  before  income taxes for the third  quarter of fiscal 1999  increased by
$3.1 million or 10.3% over the third  quarter of fiscal 1998.  This  increase in
income  before  income taxes was  essentially  the effect of the increase in the
gains on the sale of lease receivables and decreased general and  administrative
expenses, offset by additional interest expense and a reduction in revenue.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income taxes for the third  quarter of fiscal 1999  decreased by $1.2 million or
9.3% over the third  quarter of fiscal  1998.  This  decrease in income taxes is
primarily a result of a decrease in the  effective tax rate in the third quarter
of fiscal 1999 compared to the third  quarter of fiscal 1998.  The effective tax
rate was  34.5%  for the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1999 and 42% for the third
quarter of 1998.

                    Nine Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared

Revenues

Total revenues increased by approximately $8.6 million or 4.0% in the first nine
months  of  fiscal  1999  compared  to the first  nine  months  of fiscal  1998.
Approximately 37.3% or $3.2 million of this increase in revenues was a result of
increased lease finance income due to the increase in lease receivables prior to
the asset securitization completed in December 1998. The lease portfolio, net of
lease receivables that were sold in asset securitization transactions, increased
by 7.9% from June 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999.

Office  equipment placed on rental by the IKON  marketplaces to customers,  with
cancelable terms, may be purchased by the Company.  During the first nine months
of fiscal 1999 and 1998, the Company purchased operating lease equipment of $6.0
million and $47.8 million,  respectively.  Operating  leases  contributed  $27.8
million in rental income  during the first nine months of fiscal 1999,  compared
to $28.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998.  Effective  October 1,
1998,  the  Company has  limited  the  funding of rental  equipment  to the IKON
marketplaces to select accounts.

The Company earns  interest  income on the deferred tax  liabilities of the IKON
marketplaces  associated  with  leases  funded  through  the  Company  at a rate
consistent  with  the  Company's  weighted  average  outside  borrowing  rate of
interest.  The  Company's  average  rate was 6.4% for the first  nine  months of
fiscal  1999  compared  to 6.5% for the first nine  months of fiscal  1998.  The
deferred tax base upon which these payments are calculated increased by 1.1 % to
$262.2 million at June 30, 1999 from $259.4 million at June 30, 1998.  Primarily
as a result  of the  increased  deferred  tax  liabilities,  interest  income on
deferred  taxes rose by $1.4  million or 12.1% when  comparing  the nine  months
ended June 30, 1999 to the nine months ended March 31, 1998.

Other income  consists  primarily of late  payment  charges and various  billing
fees.  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 $4.5 million or 53.6%,  when comparing the first nine
months of fiscal 1999 to the same period of fiscal 1998.

Expenses

Borrowings  to finance the lease  portfolio  in the form of loans from banks and
the issuance of medium term notes and  lease-backed  notes in the public  market
increased by 13.7% from the prior year,  with $2,160.4  million  outstanding  at
June  30,  1999.  The  Company  paid a  weighted  average  interest  rate on all
borrowings  of 6.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 compared to 6.5% for
the  first  nine  months of  fiscal  1998.  Primarily  the  result of  increased
borrowings, interest expense increased $3.7 million, or 4.6%, when comparing the
first nine  months of fiscal 1999 to the first nine  months of fiscal  1998.  At
June 30,  1999,  the  Company's  debt to equity  ratio,  including  intercompany
amounts due from IKON, was 5.4 to 1.

Total  general and  administrative  expenses  for the nine months ended June 30,
1999 decreased by $5.4 million or 10.1%,  compared to the nine months ended June
30,  1998.  The general and  administrative  expense  category in the first nine
months of fiscal 1999 includes depreciation expense on leased equipment totaling
$23.3  million,  compared  to $23.9  million for the first nine months of fiscal
1998.  In addition,  lease bonus  subsidy  payments  included in the general and
administrative  expense  category  were $8.9 million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1999  compared to $11.3  million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998.
Excluding the effects of decreased  depreciation expense on operating leases and
a decrease in lease bonus subsidy payments, remaining general and administrative
expenses  decreased  by $2.4  million or 13.2%,  when  comparing  the first nine
months of fiscal 1999 to the first nine months of fiscal 1998.

Gain on Sale of Lease Receivables

In December 1998, the Company entered into an asset  securitization  transaction
whereby it sold $366.6 million in direct  financing  lease  receivables for $250
million in cash and a retained  interest in the remainder.  The agreement is for
an initial three-year term with certain renewal provisions and was structured as
a revolving asset  securitization so that as collections  reduce previously sold
interests  in the  pool  of  leases,  additional  leases  can be sold up to $250
million.  The terms of the  agreement  require that the Company will continue to
service  the lease  portfolio.  The  Company  recognized  a pretax gain of $14.3
million  during the first quarter of fiscal 1999 on this  agreement.  On May 25,
1999, the Company repurchased leases sold under this agreement with the proceeds
from the  lease-backed  notes. As a result of the  repurchase,  the $250 million
commitment remains available.

The Company has additional asset  securitization  agreements for $275 million of
eligible direct financing receivables. These agreements expire in September 1999
($150  million)  and March  2000  ($125  million),  respectively.  Both of these
agreements are expected to be renewed.  These  agreements are also structured as
revolving securitizations,  whereby additional leases can be sold as collections
reduce the  previously  sold  interests.  During the first nine months of fiscal
1999,  collections reduced previously sold interests on these two agreements and
the $250 million  transaction,  described above, by $125.1 million.  The Company
sold an additional  $125.1 million in net eligible direct  financing  leases and
recognized  pretax  gains of $10.1  million for the nine  months  ended June 30,
1999.

Income Before Income Taxes

Income before income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 increased by
$32.7 million or 41.2% over the first nine months of fiscal 1998.  This increase
in  income  before  income  taxes was  essentially  the  effect of higher  asset
securitization  gains,  higher  earnings on a larger  lease  portfolio  base and
decreased  general  and  administrative  expenses,  partially  offset  by higher
borrowing costs.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 increased by $11.8 million
or 35.9% over the first nine  months of fiscal  1998.  This  increase  in income
taxes is directly  attributable to the increase in income before income taxes in
the first nine months of fiscal 1999,  offset by a decrease in the effective tax
rate  compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1998.  The  effective tax rate
was 39.8% for the first nine  months of fiscal 1999 and 41.4% for the first nine
months of 1998.
