Item 5. Other Events.
------------
On October 26, 2000, Registrant's parent, IKON Office Solutions, Inc.
("IKON"), announced results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000. IKON's
press release dated October 26, 2000 containing further detail is attached.
This report includes information which may constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to: statements relating to expected
earnings, profit margins and revenue growth for fiscal 2001; increased equipment
sales; IKON's ability to gain customers and market share and expected benefits
from IKON's strategic investments and initiatives. 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.
