Item 5. Other Events.
------------
On October 17, 2000, the Registrant's parent, IKON Office Solutions, Inc.
("IKON"), issued a press release regarding anticipated results for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2000. IKON's press release dated October 17, 2000
containing further detail is attached.
This Report includes or incorporates by reference information about the
Registrant and/or IKON which may constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements
include statements relating to expected fourth quarter results, including
expected revenues, earnings, cash flow and debt-to-capital ratio, and the
expected benefits from IKON's new product offering and its long-term strategy.
Although IKON believes the expectations contained in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurances that such expectations will
prove correct. Such forward-looking statements are based upon management's
current plans or expectations and are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating
to conducting operations in a competitive environment and a changing industry;
delays, difficulties, management transitions and employment issues associated
with consolidation of, and/or changes in business operations; managing the
integration of existing and acquired companies; risks and uncertainties
associated with existing or future vendor relationships; and general economic
conditions. Certain additional risks and uncertainties are set forth in IKON's
1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. As a consequence of these and other risks and uncertainties, IKON's
current plans, anticipated actions and future financial condition and results
may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
