                       IKON OFFICE SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES 
                            SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

                     CONTINUES IMPROVEMENT IN FISCAL 1999

     VALLEY FORGE, PENNSYLVANIA  APRIL 28, 1999 -- IKON Office Solutions (NYSE:
IKN) today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 1999.  IKON
generated net income of $22.9 million or $.15 per share.

     "We are encouraged with our continued progress," stated James J. Forese,
President and Chief Executive Officer.  "We posted solid earnings this quarter
due in part to the effects of our expense reduction programs."

     "We have made marked progress in strengthening the quality and foundation
of our business, and we're encouraged by the continuing gains in productivity
that are being made in a growing number of our business regions.  However, given
the changing dynamics of this industry, including the rapid transition to
digital solutions and the mounting competition from traditional and non-
traditional players, it is clear that we must continue to move aggressively to
ensure IKON's position as a leader."

     For the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company generated $42.1 million
in net income- before transformation costs of $18.2 million - or $.27 per share.
Including transformation costs, net income was $30.3 million or $.19 per share.

     Revenues for the quarter were $1.37 billion, compared to $1.43 billion in
the second quarter of fiscal 1998.  The 4% decline in revenue is attributable
primarily to limited availability of digital equipment from IKON suppliers,
reductions in the Company's salesforce and the impact of more-disciplined
marketing practices, including tighter credit standards.
<PAGE>
 
     As anticipated, the Company's 37.6% gross margin for the 1999 second
quarter reflects a decline of 120 basis points from the first quarter of 1999,
as a result of a 170 basis point decline in equipment margins due to price
compression in analog products, given the advent of new digital products.

     As a result of IKON's ongoing expense reduction programs launched in the
second half of Fiscal 1998, the Company posted improvement in selling, general
and administrative expenses. Expenses in the quarter declined from the first
quarter as a percentage of revenues by 90 basis points. "Our internal goal for
the year," stated Mr. Forese, "is to reduce expenses 200 basis points from the
fourth quarter of Fiscal 1998, excluding $40.4 million in charges in the fourth
quarter relating to the closing of underperforming branches, executive severance
packages and the settlement of lawsuits. Relative to that, we lowered expenses
70 basis points or $28.2 million in the second quarter."

     During the quarter, as a part of its ongoing program to reduce costs and
raise productivity, the Company:

 . Completed its previously announced workforce reduction, eliminating 1,500
  positions worldwide to enhance productivity throughout the organization;

 . Closed or merged 19 field offices in Document Services;

 . Merged four districts and three marketplaces in Business Services, North
  America;

 . Completed a previously announced initiative aimed at identifying ways to
  increase efficiency and reduce expenses.  Final recommendations, developed
  jointly with  PricewaterhouseCoopers, are now under review; and,

 . Began implementation of several new initiatives, including centralization of
  purchasing and logistics under a new vice president and the recruiting of a
  senior vice president of marketing to lead the development of IKON's new brand
  campaign and integrated marketing programs.

     "We are committed to our mission of building a total solutions company
organized around our customers and the market opportunities," Mr. Forese said.
IKON continues to have a number of key strengths on which to build the
foundation for this strategy, including a strong cash flow and recurring revenue
stream, a broad array of products and services and a highly skilled workforce."
