Item 5.     Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

                  On June 30, 2004, IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “IKON”) issued a press release announcing the completion of its transaction with GE Commercial Finance (“GE”) relating to its Canadian leasing business. This transaction was contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated March 31, 2004, filed on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2004. A copy of this press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.

                 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 expected proceeds from the transaction; use of proceeds from the transaction; and expected benefits from the transaction. 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; 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 2003 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.
