Item 5. Other Events.
------------
On October 17, 2000, the Registrant issued a press release regarding anticipated
results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000. The Registrant's press
release dated October 17, 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 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.
