Item 5. Other Events.
------------
On June 29, 1998, the Registrant's parent, IKON Office Solutions, Inc.
("IKON"), issued a press release indicating that it anticipates earnings will be
significantly lower than the First Call consensus estimate of $0.34 per share
for the quarter ending June 30, 1998. IKON expects to release third quarter
earnings on July 22, 1998.
This Report includes or incorporates by reference information which may
constitute forward-looking statements about the Registrant or IKON made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. Although the
Registrant believes the expectations contained in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, no assurances can be given that such expectations
will prove correct. Such forward-looking information is based on the
Registrant's or IKON's current plans or expectations, and is subject to risks
and uncertainties that could significantly affect the Registrant's and/or IKON's
current plans, anticipated actions and future financial condition and results.
These uncertainties and risks include, but are not limited to, those relating to
IKON's successful management of an aggressive program to acquire and integrate
new companies, including companies with technical services and products that are
relatively new to IKON, and also including companies outside the United States,
which present additional risks relating to international operations; risks and
uncertainties (applicable to both the Registrant and IKON) relating to
conducting operations in a competitive environment; delays, difficulties,
technological changes, management transitions and employment issues (applicable
to both the Registrant and IKON) associated with a large-scale transformation
project; debt service requirements (applicable to both the Registrant and IKON),
including sensitivity to fluctuation in interest rates; and general economic
conditions. As a consequence, current plans, anticipated actions and future
financial condition and results may differ materially from those expressed in
any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Registrant or IKON.
