Report of Independent Auditors To the Participants and Administrator of the IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets (held at end of year) and reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2002 and 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Description of the Plan The following description of the IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. General The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all regular full-time and part-time non-union employees, as defined by the Plan, of IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") and its domestic subsidiaries which adopt the Plan. Effective January 1, 2002, the IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Common Stock Fund was designated as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, participants are allowed to elect to reinvest dividends in IKON common stock or receive a cash payment. Additionally, any dividends that are reinvested in IKON common stock are fully vested. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Plan Administration The Plan is administered by the IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Retirement Plans Committee (the "Committee"). Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the trustee (the "Trustee") of the Plan and custodian of the Plan's assets. The Committee and Trustee of the Plan are appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Recordkeeping of the Plan is performed by Hewitt Associates LLC. Contributions Each year, participants may contribute up to 16 percent of their annual base pay plus commissions ("Compensation"), as defined by the Plan, in multiples of one percent except for certain highly compensated participants who may be subject to certain regulatory limitations. Participants may also contribute amounts representing rollovers from other qualified plans. The Company contributes an amount equal to two-thirds of the first 6% of the Compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. Employer matching contributions are typically made in IKON Office Solutions, Inc. common stock. Employees who have attained the age of 55 may redirect matching contributions to, and invest new matching contributions to, any of the other available investment options. Effective November 1, 2002, participants who have been IKON employees for twenty-four months may elect to redirect matching contributions in their accounts to, and invest new matching contributions in, any of the other available investment options. The Company funds the matching contribution quarterly to participants employed or absent on qualified leave on the last day of the calendar quarter. There is a one-year eligibility waiting period for Company matching contributions for new employees. Effective January 1, 2003, the employer match will decrease from two-thirds to one-half. -4- IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2002 and 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Participant Accounts Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and an allocation of (a) the Company contributions and (b) Plan earnings and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses, if any. Allocations are based on participant compensation or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. Vesting Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on the following: Years of service Vesting Less than 2 years 0% 2 years 25% 3 years 50% 4 years 75% 5 years 100% Participants are also fully vested in the Company's matching portion upon retirement, position termination due to permanent shutdown of plant or department, total and permanent disability, or death. Pursuant to the ESOP designation, participants are fully vested in dividends on IKON common stock. Investment Options Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in one-percent increments in any of the following nine investment options. o IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Common Stock Fund o Bank of America Small-Cap Equity Fund o American Funds Group EuroPacific Growth Fund o PBHG Growth Fund o PIMCO Total Return Fund o Vanguard Institutional Index Fund o Vanguard Windsor II Fund o Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust II o Balanced Fund The Balanced Fund allocates funds to the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund and the Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust II. -5- IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2002 and 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Participants may change their investment options or transfer existing account balances to other investment options daily, except for employer matching contributions which are made in IKON Office Solutions, Inc. common stock and may not be redirected by the participant to any of the other available investment options until the attainment of age 55 or as described below. As part of the settlement of an ERISA class-action lawsuit brought against IKON and a number of individual defendants (Whetman et. al. vs. IKON Office Solution, Inc.), the Company modified the Plan effective November 1, 2002 in order to allow participants greater flexibility with respect to investment of the Company's match portion of participants' individual accounts. Under the settlement, employees who have been with the Company for at least twenty-four months are permitted to place Company matching contributions in investment options other than IKON common stock. Participant Loans Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance. Loan terms may not exceed 5 years; however, loan terms may extend up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence. Loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest, which is set in the month the loan is made, at the prime lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the last Wednesday of the month plus one percent. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. Payment of Benefits Participants are entitled to receive a distribution equal to their vested account balances upon death, retirement, termination, or permanent disability. Participants may elect to receive benefits in either a lump-sum payment, periodic installments limited in duration by the provisions of the Plan, or by the purchase and delivery of a life annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity contract. Participants under the age of 59 1/2 may make withdrawals from their accounts only from after-tax salary deferral contributions. Participants under the age of 59 1/2 who have participated in the Plan for at least five years may make withdrawals from their accounts derived from employer matching contributions and earnings thereon. Participants under the age of 59 1/2 who have not participated in the Plan for five years may make withdrawals of all or any portion of their vested interest derived from employer matching contributions which have been held by the Plan for at least two full plan years. Any portion of vested assets may be withdrawn by participants in the case of personal financial hardship upon approval of the plan administrator. After reaching age 59 1/2 participants may make withdrawals of any portion of their vested assets at any time without regard to financial hardship. Participants who terminate their employment with a balance of less than $5,000 may receive a direct lump-sum payment or rollover their balance into an eligible retirement plan. Participants under the age of 59 1/2 who terminate their employment with a balance greater than $5,000 may continue to maintain their account within the Plan, receive a direct lump-sum payment, or rollover their balance into an eligible retirement plan. Participants who take withdrawals before reaching age 59-1/2 may be subject to penalties and taxes. Forfeitures During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, $2,487,355 and $3,983,590, respectively, of employer matching contributions were forfeited by terminated employees before those amounts became vested. Such forfeited amounts were used to reduce employer remittance of employee contributions. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, there was $14,565 and $65,437, respectively, of forfeited non-vested amounts. -6- IKON Office Solutions, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2002 and 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plan Expenses Expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Plan are paid by the Plan, such as recordkeeping, trustee, administrative, and professional fees. 2. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Common Stock fund is valued at net unit value which is based upon the quoted market price of common stock and the value of cash and cash equivalents held for liquidity purposes. Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Common/collective funds are valued at net unit value as determined by the Trustee. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) on investments represents the sum of the change in the difference between year-end market value and cost and the difference between the proceeds received and the cost of investments sold. Payment of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. -7- IKON Office Solutions, Inc.
