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

The accompanying  unaudited condensed  consolidated  financial statements of IOS
Capital,  Inc. (the  "Company")  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  adjustments)
considered  necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods
have been included.  For further information,  refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the year  ended  September  30,  1999.  Certain  prior  year  amounts  have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

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

The amount  available to be offered under the Company's medium term note program
is  $3,500,000.  The program allows the Company to offer to the public from time
to time  medium  term  notes  having an  aggregate  initial  offering  price not
exceeding  the  total  program  amount.  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,  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 June
30, 2000, $743,500 of medium term notes were outstanding with a weighted average
interest rate of 6.4%.

Note 3:  Asset Securitization Conduit Financing
         --------------------------------------

On December 9, 1999, the Company  pledged or  transferred  $311,382 in financing
lease  receivables  for $247,600 in cash in connection  with its revolving asset
securitization, in a transfer accounted for as a financing. On January 20, 2000,
the Company  pledged or transferred  $2,860 in financing  lease  receivables for
$2,400 in cash in  connection  with its  revolving  asset  securitization,  in a
transfer  accounted for as a financing.  The Company repaid  $250,000 on June 2,
2000 when it issued the 2000-1 Notes  described  below.  On June 30,  2000,  the
Company  pledged or  transferred  $98,907 in  financing  lease  receivables  for
$83,000 in cash in connection  with its  revolving  asset  securitization,  in a
transfer  accounted  for as a financing.  As of June 30,  2000,  the Company had
approximately  $167,000  available  under  its  revolving  asset  securitization
agreement.

The Company had  additional  asset  securitization  agreements  for  $275,000 of
eligible direct financing receivables.  These agreements were also structured as
revolving securitizations,  whereby additional leases can be sold as collections
reduce the previously sold interests.  During fiscal 1999,  collections  reduced
previously  sold interests on the Company's asset  securitization  agreements by
$152,098.  The  Company  sold an  additional  $152,098  in net  eligible  direct
financing  receivables  and  recognized  pretax gains of $12,200 for fiscal year
1999. On October 7, 1999,  these leases were  repurchased  with a portion of the
proceeds received from the issuance of $699,595 of lease-backed notes.

Note 4:  Lease-Backed Notes
         ------------------

In  addition  to  the  $622,948  of  lease-backed  notes  (the  "1999-1  Notes")
outstanding at September 30, 1999, on October 7, 1999, IKON Receivables,  LLC (a
consolidated  affiliate of the Company) publicly issued $699,595 of lease-backed
notes (the "1999-2  Notes") under its $1,825,000  shelf  registration  statement
filed May 7, 1999 with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Class A-1 Notes



<PAGE>

totaling  $235,326  have a stated  interest  rate of  6.14125%,  Class A-2 Notes
totaling $51,100 have a stated interest rate of 6.31%, Class A-3a Notes totaling
$100,000  have a stated  interest  rate of  6.59%,  Class  A-3b  Notes  totaling
$240,891 have a variable interest rate and Class A-4 Notes totaling $72,278 have
a stated interest rate of 6.88%.  The Class A-3b Notes pay interest at a rate of
1-month LIBOR plus 0.36% (which has been fixed at 6.63% through an interest rate
swap).  The 1999-1 and 1999-2  Notes are  secured by a pool of office  equipment
leases or contracts and related assets ("the 1999-1 and 1999-2 Asset Pools") and
the payments on the 1999-1 and 1999-2 Notes are made from  payments  received on
the leases. The Company received approximately $697,000 in net proceeds from the
sale of the  1999-2  Notes  and  used  $275,000  of that  amount  to  repurchase
previously sold leases.  The repurchased  leases were contributed as part of the
1999-2 Asset Pool.

On June 2, 2000, IKON Receivables,  LLC publicly issued $498,510 of lease-backed
notes (the "2000-1 Notes") under a $2,000,000 shelf registration statement filed
in May 2000  (which  incorporated  the unused  portion of the  $1,825,000  shelf
registration  statement  filed May 7, 1999)  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.  Class A-1 Notes  totaling  $130,000 have a stated  interest rate of
6.99625%, Class A-2 Notes totaling $54,000 have a stated interest rate of 7.51%,
Class A-3 Notes totaling  $230,000 have a variable  interest rate, and Class A-4
Notes  totaling  $84,510 have a variable  interest rate. The Class A-3 Notes pay
interest at a rate of 1-month  LIBOR plus 0.19%  (which has been fixed at 7.802%
through an interest rate swap) and the Class A-4 Notes pay interest at a rate of
1-month LIBOR plus 0.23% (which has been fixed at 7.82% through an interest rate
swap).  The  transaction  was  structured  the same as the 1999-1  Notes and the
1999-2  Notes  described  above.  The  Notes  are  secured  by a pool of  office
equipment  leases or contracts and related  assets ("the 2000-1 Asset Pool") and
the  payments on the Notes are made from  payments  received on the leases.  The
Company  received  approximately  $497,000 in net proceeds  from the sale of the
2000-1  Notes and used  $250,000 of that amount to  repurchase  previously  sold
leases.  The  repurchased  leases were  contributed  as part of the 2000-1 Asset
Pool. As of June 30, 2000, IKON Receivables,  LLC had  approximately  $1,501,000
available under the $2,000,000 shelf registration statement.

Restricted cash on the balance sheet  represents cash that has been collected on
the lease receivables in the 1999-1,  1999-2 and 2000-1 Asset Pools,  which must
be used to repay the 1999-1, 1999-2 and 2000-1 Notes, respectively.

Note 6:  Lease Default Reserve
         ---------------------

Effective  the first  quarter  of fiscal  2000,  reserves  for  credit  loss are
maintained on the books of the Company,  rather than each IKON Office Solutions,
Inc.  ("IKON")  marketplace.  At the  beginning  of fiscal 2000,  lease  default
reserves of $74,305 and the  related  deferred  tax  liability  of $29,350  were
transferred  to the Company from the IKON  marketplaces.  During  fiscal 2000, a
provision for lease defaults of $42,873 was recorded to increase the reserve. Of
this  provision,  $14,999 was recorded as an expense on the books of the Company
and  $27,873 was  recorded as an expense on the books of the IKON  marketplaces.
Lease write-offs of $50,602 were recorded to reduce the reserve.  As a result of
the above, the lease default reserve at June 30, 2000 is $66,575.

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.


                    Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared
                    -----------------------------------------
                    with the Three Months Ended June 30, 1999
                    -----------------------------------------

Revenues
--------

Total revenues increased by $17,304 or 23.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2000
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  Lease finance income increased by
$16,265 or 29.8%. The lease portfolio increased 13.7% from September 30, 1999 to
June 30,  2000.  This  increase is  attributable  to the change from off balance
sheet asset securitizations to on balance sheet asset backed financings.

Office  equipment placed on rental by the IKON  marketplaces to customers,  with
cancelable terms, may be purchased by the Company as an operating lease.  During
the third  quarter of fiscal 2000,  the Company's  purchases of operating  lease
equipment  were  $3,539,  compared to $317 in the third  quarter of fiscal 1999.
Operating leases contributed $8,850 in rental income during the third quarter of
fiscal 2000, compared to $8,723 in the third quarter of fiscal 1999.

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 6.8% for the third quarter of fiscal
2000 and 6.4% for the third  quarter of fiscal 1999.  The deferred tax base upon
which these  payments are  calculated  decreased by 3.8% to $253,850 at June 30,
2000 from $262,209 at June 30, 1999.  Interest income on deferred taxes remained
relatively consistent for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the third
quarter of fiscal 1999.

Other income  consists  primarily of late payment  charges,  interest  income on
restricted  cash and  various  billing  fees.  The  structure  of these fees has
remained  basically  unchanged  from fiscal 1999.  The growth in other income is
primarily due to interest income on restricted cash in relation to the financing
of the  Company's  asset  backed  securitizations.  Overall,  income  from these
sources grew by $1,105 or 20.1%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to
the third quarter of fiscal 1999.


Expenses
--------

Average  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 3.7%, with $2,241,114  outstanding at June 30, 2000 compared
to $2,160,387  outstanding at June 30, 1999. The Company paid a weighted average
interest  rate on all  borrowings  for the third  quarter of fiscal 2000 of 6.8%
compared  to 6.4% for the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1999.  As a result of the
increased  average  borrowings  and  weighted  average  interest  rate  and  the
Company's  change from off balance  sheet  asset  securitizations  to on balance
sheet asset backed financings,  interest expense grew by $8,536 or 30.1%, in the
third  quarter of fiscal 2000  compared to the third  quarter of fiscal 1999. At
June 30, 2000, the Company's debt to equity ratio including  amounts due to IKON
was 5.6 to 1.

Total  general and  administrative  expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2000
increased by $5,057 or 32.7%,  compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The
general and administrative  expense category in the third quarter of fiscal 2000
includes  depreciation  expense on leased equipment  totaling $7,358 compared to
$7,257 in the third  quarter of fiscal  1999.  Effective  October  1, 1999,  the
Company  terminated  the lease bonus program which  provided  incentives to IKON
marketplaces  when IKON customers leased equipment from the Company;  therefore,
there  were  no  lease  bonus  subsidy  payments  included  in the  general  and
administrative  expense category in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to
$3,082 in the third  quarter of fiscal 1999. In addition,  effective  October 1,
1999,  reserves for credit losses are  maintained by the Company rather than the
IKON  marketplaces;  therefore,  bad debt  expense  included  in the general and
administrative  expense  category in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was



<PAGE>

$5,393  compared  to none in the third  quarter of fiscal  1999.  Excluding  the
effects of  depreciation  expense  on  operating  leases,  lease  bonus  subsidy
payments and bad debt expense,  remaining  general and  administrative  expenses
increased by $2,645 or 51.6%,  in the third  quarter of fiscal 2000  compared to
the third  quarter of fiscal  1999  primarily  due to the removal of general and
administrative expense credits associated with the prior off balance sheet asset
securitizations.


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

During  the third  quarter  of  fiscal  1999,  the  Company  completed  an asset
securitization  whereby  it  sold  $42,125  in  net  eligible  direct  financing
receivables and recognized pretax gains of $3,477.


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

Income  before  income taxes for the third  quarter of fiscal 2000  increased by
$234 or .7%  compared  to the third  quarter of fiscal  1999.  This  increase in
income before income taxes was essentially the effect of increased lease finance
income  offset by increases in interest  expense and general and  administrative
expenses  in the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2000,  and a gain on sale of lease
receivables   recorded  in  fiscal  1999   primarily   due  to  the  removal  of
administrative expense credits associated with the prior off balance sheet asset
securitizations.


Provision for Income Taxes
--------------------------

Income taxes for the third  quarter of fiscal 2000  increased by $1,999 or 17.7%
compared to the third  quarter of fiscal 1999.  This increase in income taxes is
directly  attributable to the change in estimated  effective tax rate during the
third  quarter  of fiscal  1999.  The  effective  tax rate was 40% for the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 and 35% for the third quarter of 1999.


                    Nine Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared
                    ----------------------------------------
                    with the Nine Months Ended June 30, 1999
                    ----------------------------------------


Revenues
--------

Total revenues  increased by $45,355 or 20.6% in the first nine months of fiscal
2000  compared to the first nine months of fiscal  1999.  Lease  finance  income
increased  by $41,459 or 24.9%.  The lease  portfolio  increased  by 13.7 % from
September 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000. This increase is attributable to the change
from off balance  sheet asset  securitization  to on balance  sheet asset backed
financings.

Office  equipment placed on rental by the IKON  marketplaces to customers,  with
cancelable terms, may be purchased by the Company as an operating lease.  During
the first nine months of fiscal 2000 and 1999, the Company  purchased  operating
lease  equipment  of  $11,407  and  $6,024,   respectively.   Operating   leases
contributed  $27,186 in rental  income  during  the first nine  months of fiscal
2000, compared to $27,760 in the first nine months of fiscal 1999.

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 6.7% for the first  nine  months of
fiscal 2000 and 6.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 1999.  The deferred tax
base upon which these payments are  calculated  decreased by 3.8% to $253,850 at
June 30, 2000 from $262,209 at June 30, 1999.  Interest income on deferred taxes
decreased  by $164 or 1.3% in the first nine months of fiscal  2000  compared to
the first nine months of fiscal 1999.

Other income  consists  primarily of late payment  charges,  interest  income on
restricted  cash and  various  billing  fees.  The  structure  of these fees has
remained  basically  unchanged  from fiscal 1999.  The growth in other income is
primarily due to interest income on restricted cash in relation to the Company's



<PAGE>

financing of asset backed  securitizations.  Overall,  income from these sources
grew by $4,634 or 35.9%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to the
first nine months of fiscal 1999.

Expenses
--------

Average  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 3.7%, with $2,241,114  outstanding at June 30, 2000 compared
to $2,160,387  outstanding at June 30, 1999. The Company paid a weighted average
interest rate on all  borrowings of 6.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 2000
and 6.4% in the first nine months of fiscal  1999.  Primarily as a result of the
increased  average  borrowings  and  weighted  average  interest  rate  and  the
Company's  change from off balance  sheet  asset  securitizations  to on balance
sheet asset backed  financings,  interest expense grew by $25,504,  or 30.3%, in
the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first nine months of fiscal
1999.  At  June  30,  2000,  the  Company's  debt  to  equity  ratio,  including
intercompany amounts due to IKON, was 5.6 to 1.

Total  general and  administrative  expenses for the first nine months of fiscal
2000 increased by $12,076 or 25.2%,  compared to the first nine months of fiscal
1999. The general and  administrative  expense category in the first nine months
of fiscal  2000  includes  depreciation  expense  on leased  equipment  totaling
$22,691, compared to $23,281 for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. Effective
October 1, 1999,  the Company  terminated the lease bonus program which provided
incentives to IKON  marketplaces  when IKON customers  leased equipment from the
Company;  therefore,  there were no lease bonus subsidy payments included in the
general and  administrative  expense category in the first nine months of fiscal
2000  compared to $8,890 in the first nine months of fiscal  1999.  In addition,
effective  October 1, 1999,  reserves for credit  losses are  maintained  by the
Company rather than the IKON marketplaces;  therefore, bad debt expense included
in the general and  administrative  expense category in the first nine months of
fiscal  2000 was  $14,999  compared  to none in the first nine  months of fiscal
1999.  Excluding the effects of depreciation  expense on operating leases, lease
bonus   subsidy   payments  and  bad  debt   expense,   remaining   general  and
administrative  expenses  increased by $6,557 or 41.4%, in the first nine months
of fiscal 2000  compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1999,  primarily due
to the removal of general and administrative expense credits associated with the
prior off balance sheet asset securitizations.

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

The Company completed various asset securitization  transactions whereby it sold
direct  financing  receivables.  The Company  recognized  pretax  gains on these
transactions of $76 and $24,356 in the first nine months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively.

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

Income before income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 decreased by
$16,505 or 14.7% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1999. This decrease
in income  before income taxes is directly  attributable  to the decrease in the
gain on sale of lease receivables offset by higher operating income in the first
nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1999.

Provision for Income Taxes
--------------------------

Income  taxes for the first nine  months of fiscal 2000  decreased  by $6,283 or
14.1% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1999.  This decrease in income
taxes is directly  attributable to the decrease in income before income taxes in
the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first nine months of fiscal
1999.  The  effective  tax rate was 40% for the first nine months of fiscal 2000
and 40% for the first nine months of 1999.


Impact of Year 2000
-------------------

Through  July 31,  2000,  our  operations  are  fully  functioning  and have not
experienced any significant  issues  associated with the Year 2000 problem.  For
further information,  refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations  included in the Company's


<PAGE>

quarterly  report  on Form 10-Q for the  period  ended  March  31,  2000 and the
Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for its fiscal year ended  September 30,
1999.

Pending Accounting Changes
--------------------------

In June 1998,  the FASB issued  Statement No. 133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities",  which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities.  It will require us
to recognize all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities  and measure the
instruments at fair value. The statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15,  2000.  In June 2000,  the FASB  issued
Statement  No.138,  "Accounting for Certain  Derivative  Instruments and Certain
Hedging  Activities - An Amendment to FASB Statement  No.133" which  addresses a
limited number of implementation  issues and should be adopted concurrently with
Statement  No.133.  The Company  intends to adopt both  standards  on October 1,
2000. The Company does not believe the effect of adoption will be material.
