Item 5.  Other Events.
         ------------

         On October 26, 2000,  the Registrant  announced  results for the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2000.  The  Registrant'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.
