                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                December 31, 1999
                                   (unaudited)


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  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/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

           On May 21, 1997,  the Company  increased  the amount  available to be
offered under its medium term note program to $3.5 billion.  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 December 31, 1999, $1,012.9 million of medium term notes were
outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%.


Note 3:  Asset Securitization and Lease Backed Notes

           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 is
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.

           On December 9, 1999, the Company sold an additional $311.4 million in
financing  lease  receivables for $247.6 million in cash in connection with this
revolving asset securitization.

           The Company had additional asset  securitization  agreements for $275
million 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 these two agreements and the
$250 million  transaction,  described above, by $152.1 million. The Company sold
an  additional  $152.1  million  in net  eligible  direct  financing  leases and
recognized  pretax  gains of $12.2  million for fiscal year 1999.  On October 7,
1999, these leases were repurchased with a portion of the proceeds received from
the issuance of approximately $700 million of leased-backed notes.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                December 31, 1999


           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
approximately $304 million have a stated interest rate of 5.11%, Class A-2 Notes
totaling  approximately $62 million have a stated interest rate of 5.60%,  Class
A-3 Notes  totaling  approximately  $304 million have a stated  interest rate of
5.99% and  Class A-4 Notes  totaling  approximately  $81  million  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  "1999-1  Asset
Pool"), and IKON  Receivables-1,  LLC transferred them (other than equipment) to
IKON  Receivables,  LLC,  which  is the  issuer  of the  Notes.  The  Notes  are
collateralized  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
to IKON Receivables-1, LLC as part of the 1999-1 Asset Pool.

           On  October 7,  1999,  IKON  Receivables,  LLC (an  affiliate  of the
Company) publicly issued  approximately  $700 million of lease backed notes (the
"1999-2  Notes") under the $1.825  billion shelf  registration  statement  noted
above.  Class  A-1  Notes  totaling  approximately  $235  million  have a stated
interest rate of 6.14125%,  Class A-2 Notes totaling  approximately  $51 million
have a stated  interest rate of 6.31%,  Class A-3a Notes totaling  approximately
$100 million have a stated  interest  rate of 6.59%,  Class A-3b Notes  totaling
approximately  $241  million have a variable  interest  rate and Class A-4 Notes
totaling  approximately  $72 million have a stated  interest rate of 6.88%.  The
Class A-3b Notes pay interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 0.36% (which we have fixed
at 6.63% through an interest rate swap). The transaction was structured the same
as the 1999-1 Notes described  above.  The Notes are secured by a pool of office
equipment  leases or contracts and related  assets ("the 1999-2 Asset Pool") and
the  payments on the Notes are made from  payments  on the  leases.  The Company
received  approximately $697 million in net proceeds from the sale of the 1999-2
Notes and used $275 million of that amount to repurchase previously sold leases.
The repurchased leases were contributed as part of the 1999-2 Asset Pool.

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

Note 4:  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):

Note 5:  Lease Default Reserve

         Effective  the first  quarter of fiscal 2000,  reserves for credit loss
are  maintained by the Company,  rather than each IKON  marketplace.  During the
quarter,  lease default reserves of $74,305 were transferred to the Company from
the IKON marketplaces.  Additionally, the Company recorded a provision for lease
defaults of $4,510 and had lease write-offs of $5,802. As a result of the above,
the lease default reserve at December 31, 1999 is $73,013.

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

         January 2000 Update. Through January 31, 2000, our operations are fully
functioning and have not experienced any significant  issues associated with the
Year 2000 problem (as described below).

         State of  Readiness.  The Year 2000  issue is the  result  of  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.

         Costs.  The Company has used 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 internal IT personnel.  The  Company's  total cost of the Year 2000 project,
excluding  these  internal  costs,  is  approximately  $1.2 million and is being
funded  through  operating  cash flows.  Of the total  estimated  project  cost,
approximately  $0.2 million is  attributable to the purchase of new software and
hardware and has been  capitalized.  Through  January 31, 2000,  IOS Capital has
incurred  approximately  $1.2 million  ($1.0  million  expensed and $0.2 million
capitalized), related to its Year 2000 project.

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

     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.


<PAGE>

     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 on 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 costs of personnel  trained in this area, the ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar 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. Contingency plans have
been developed and completed.


                 Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared
                  with the Three Months Ended December 31, 1998

         Comparative summarized results of operations for the three months ended
December  31,  1999 and 1998 are set forth in the table  below.  This table also
shows the  increase  or  decrease  in the dollar  amounts of major  revenue  and

Revenues

         Total revenues  increased by approximately $9.7 million or 12.4% in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Lease
finance  income  increased by


<PAGE>

approximately  $8.7  million  or  14.4%.  The  lease  portfolio,  net  of  lease
receivables  sold  in  asset  securitization  transactions,  increased  9%  from
September 30, 1999 to December 31, 1999,  This increase is  attributable  to the
repurchase of the leases on October 7, 1999.

         Office  equipment  placed  on  rental  by  the  IKON   marketplaces  to
customers,  with cancelable  terms, may be purchased by the Company.  During the
first  quarter of fiscal 2000, the  Company's  net purchases of operating  lease
equipment  were $2.2  million,  compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999.  Operating leases  contributed $9.3 million in rental income during
the first quarter of fiscal 2000,  compared to $9.8 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999.  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 6.5% for the first quarter of fiscal
2000 and 6.4% for the first  quarter of fiscal 1999.  The deferred tax base upon
which these  payments  are  calculated  increased  by 2.1% to $259.6  million at
December 31, 1999 from $254.3 million at December 31, 1998.  Interest  income on
deferred  taxes  remained  relatively  consistent  for the  three  months  ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 1998.

         Other income  consists  primarily  of late payment  charges and various
billing fees. The structure of these fees has remained basically  unchanged from
fiscal  1999.  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 $1.5 million or 44.1%,  when comparing the
first  quarter  of fiscal  2000 to the same  period of  fiscal  1999.  Effective
October 1, 1999 the Company has discontinued its policy of charging billing fees
to the IKON marketplaces.


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 42.5%, with $2,444.4 million  outstanding at December
31, 1999.  The Company paid a weighted  average  interest rate on all borrowings
for the first  quarter  of fiscal  2000 of 6.3%  compared  to 6.4% for the first
quarter  of  fiscal  1999.  Primarily  as a  result  of  the  increased  average
borrowings,  interest  expense grew by $7 million or 24.1%,  when  comparing the
first  quarter of fiscal 2000 to the first  quarter of fiscal 1999.  At December
31, 1999, the Company's debt to equity ratio  including  amounts due to IKON was
5.9 to 1.

         Total  general  and  administrative  expenses  for  the  quarter  ended
December 31, 1999  increased  by $2.4 million or 14.3%,  compared to the quarter
ended December 31, 1998. The general and administrative  expense category in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000 includes  depreciation  expense on leased equipment
totaling  $7.7 million  compared to $8.3 million in the first  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
first  quarter of fiscal 2000  compared to $2.8 million in the first  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
first  quarter  of  fiscal  2000 was $4.5  million  compared  to $0 in the first
quarter  of fiscal  1999.  Excluding  the  effects  of  depreciation  expense on
operating  leases,  lease bonus  subsidy  payments  and bad debt  expense  lease
default, remaining general and administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million
or 22.3%,  when  comparing the first quarter of fiscal 2000 to the first quarter
of fiscal 1999.

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 had  additional  asset  securitization  agreements for $275
million 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 these two agreements and the
$250 million  transaction,  described above, by $152.1 million. The Company sold
an  additional  $152.1  million  in net  eligible  direct  financing  leases and
recognized  pretax  gains of $12.2  million for fiscal year 1999.  On October 7,
1999, these leases were repurchased with a portion of the proceeds received from
the issuance of approximately $700 million of leased-backed notes.

Income Before Income Taxes

         Income  before  income  taxes for the first three months of fiscal 2000
decreased by $16.4  million or 33.8% over the first three months of fiscal 1999.
This decrease in income before  income taxes was  essentially  the effect of the
nonrecurring gain on the repurchased  asset  securitization in the first quarter
of fiscal 1999 and  increased  interest  expense and general and  administrative
expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

Provision for Income Taxes

         Income  taxes for the first three  months of fiscal 2000  decreased  by
$7.5 million or 37.0% over the first three months of fiscal 1999.  This decrease
in income taxes is directly attributable to the decrease in income before income
taxes in the first  three  months of fiscal  2000  compared  to the first  three
months of fiscal 1999. The effective tax rate was 40% for the first three months
of fiscal 2000 and 42% for the first three months of 1999.

Pending Accounting Changes

         In June 1998,  the FASB  issued  Statement  No.  133,  "Accounting  for
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities"  (SFAS 133), 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.
The Company  intends to adopt the standard on October 1, 2000.  The Company does
not believe the effect of adoption will be material.
