This Report includes information which may constitute forward-looking statements

statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our first
quarter and full Fiscal 2004 results, earnings per share growth range, and other
future growth opportunities. Although IKON believes the expectations contained

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;
the implementation, timing and cost of the e-IKON initiative; 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 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.
