FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

This Report includes or incorporates by reference information which may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although IKON Receivables Funding, LLC (the “Company”) believes the expectations contained in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove correct. Such forward-looking information is based upon management’s current plans or expectations and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect current plans, anticipated actions and the future financial condition and results of the Company, IOS Capital, LLC (“IOSC”), and IKON Office Solutions, Inc.

PART I

Recent Developments

IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (“IKON”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”), dated December 10, 2003, by and among IKON, IOS Capital, LLC (“IOSC”) and General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”), pursuant to which, among other things, GE will acquire certain assets and liabilities of IOSC, including, without limitation, IOSC’s servicing functions, facilities, systems and processes. As a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, IKON and GE will enter into a program agreement (the “Program Agreement”), under which, among other things, GE will become the preferred lease-financing source for IKON’s customers in the United States and Canada. Under the terms of the Agreement, and subject to closing adjustments, IKON will receive approximately $1.5 billion of gross proceeds.

IKON is a publicly traded company with fiscal 2003 revenues of approximately $4.7 billion. IKON integrates imaging systems and services that help businesses manage document workflow and increase efficiency. IKON represents the industry’s broadest portfolio of document management services including: outsourcing and professional services, on-site copy and mailroom management, fleet management, off-site digital printing solutions, and customized workflow and imaging application development. IOSC is currently a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of IKON. IKON Receivables-2, LLC (the “Sole Member”), a special purpose Delaware limited liability company, is a wholly owned-direct subsidiary of IOSC, and IKON Receivables Funding, LLC (the “Company”), is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of IOSC held through the Sole Member. The Company was organized in the State of Delaware on October 9, 2001 and is managed by IKON Receivables Funding, Inc. (the “Manager”).

Before the closing of the transaction with GE (as described above), IKON intends to merge IOSC into IKON. As a result of the merger of IOSC into IKON, the Sole Member will become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of IKON, and the Sole Member will continue to hold the Company as a subsidiary. Immediately after the effectiveness of the merger, IKON will sell certain former assets and liabilities of IOSC to GE or one of its affiliates. The Company will continue to be the issuer of the Notes (as defined below). Following the closing of the transaction described above, the Lease Receivables (as defined below) will be serviced or sub-serviced by GE or one of its affiliates.

The closing of the transaction is subject to execution of the Program Agreement relating to GE’s relationship with IKON as its preferred lease-financing source, as well as execution of other agreements and customary conditions, including receipt of certain third party consents. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. We cannot assure you that the transactions contemplated by the Agreement will occur.

The Company intends to file a Form 15, and thereafter cease filing periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, promptly upon, and subject to, receipt of certain third party consents.

General

The Company was organized to engage exclusively in the following business and financial activities: to purchase or acquire from IKON, or any subsidiary or affiliate of IKON, any right to payment, whether constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible, and certain related property (other than equipment) and rights (collectively, “Finance Receivables”), and hold, sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of Finance Receivables or interests therein; to enter into any agreement related to any Finance Receivables that provides for the administration, servicing and collection of amounts due on such Finance

Table of Contents

Receivables and any interest rate hedging arrangements in connection therewith; to distribute Finance Receivables or proceeds from Finance Receivables and any other income to its Sole Member; and to engage in any lawful act or activity and to exercise any power that is incidental and is necessary or convenient to the foregoing and permitted under Delaware law.

The Company has issued Series 2002-1 and 2003-1 lease-backed notes (collectively, the “Notes”) which are secured by a segregated pool of assets (the “Asset Pool”) that includes a portfolio of chattel paper composed of leases, leases intended as security agreements and installment sales contracts acquired or originated by IOSC (the “Leases”), together with the equipment financing portion of each periodic rental payment due pursuant to the terms of each series of Notes. The Leases, including the Company’s security interest (which is limited to recoveries on non-performing Leases) in the underlying equipment and other property related to the Leases (such equipment and property herein referred to as the “Equipment”), are referred to as “Lease Receivables.”

The Lease Receivables, including the Equipment, have been transferred to the Company and the Lease Receivables have been pledged by the Company to the applicable indenture trustee (the “Trustee”) in accordance with the terms of the assignment and servicing agreement applicable to each such series of Notes. The Notes are secured solely by the Asset Pool and have no right, title or interest in the Equipment. The sole source of funds available for payment of the Notes are the Asset Pool and any applicable reserve account established in accordance with each applicable indenture and financial guarantee insurance policy. The Trustee has no right, title, or interest in the residual values of any of the Equipment except to the extent of the Company’s limited security interest with respect to recoveries on non-performing Leases.

Neither the Sole Member nor the Manager is liable for the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the Company solely by reason of being the Sole Member or Manager of the Company.

The Company’s organizational documents require it to operate in such a manner that it should not be consolidated in the bankruptcy estate of the Sole Member, IOSC, or IKON, should any of these entities become subject to such a proceeding. The Company is legally separate from each of the foregoing entities, and the assets of the Company, including, without limitation, the Lease Receivables, are not available to the creditors of the Sole Member, IOSC, or IKON.

The Company does not utilize any facilities. Actions related to servicing and maintaining the Company’s assets are performed by IOSC.

None.

PART II

There is currently no market for the Company’s equity securities nor is it anticipated that such a market will develop.

Pursuant to General Instruction I(2)(a) of Form 10-K, the following analysis of the results of operations is presented in lieu of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Table of Contents

The Company has issued the Notes as described below:

The Notes were issued pursuant to certain indentures (the “Indentures”) between the Company, IOSC, and the Trustee. The Notes are secured by the Asset Pool that includes a portfolio of Leases acquired or originated by IOSC, together with the equipment financing portion of each periodic rental payment due pursuant to the terms of each series of Notes.

The Lease Receivables, including the Equipment, have been transferred to the Company and the Lease Receivables have been pledged by the Company to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the assignment and servicing agreement applicable to each such series of Notes. The Notes are secured solely by the Asset Pool and have no right, title or interest in the Equipment. The sole source of funds available for payment of the Notes are the Asset Pool and any applicable reserve account established in accordance with each applicable indenture and financial guarantee insurance policy. The Trustee has no right, title, or interest in the residual values of any of the Equipment except to the extent of the Company’s limited security interest with respect to recoveries on non-performing Leases.

The Notes have certain credit enhancement features available to noteholders, including reserve accounts, overcollateralization accounts and noncancelable insurance policies from Ambac Assurance Corporation with respect to the Notes. On each payment date, funds available from the collection of Lease Receivables will be paid to the noteholders in the order of their priority class.

The Notes bear interest from the related issuance date at the stated rates specified above. The variable rate 2003-1 Class A-3a Notes have been fixed at 2.095% through an interest rate swap.

IOSC services the Leases and may delegate its servicing responsibilities to one or more sub-servicers, but such delegation does not relieve IOSC of its liabilities with respect thereto. IOSC retains possession of the Leases and related files, and receives a monthly service fee from the Company for servicing the Leases (see “Recent Developments”).

Restricted cash on the balance sheets represents the cash that has been collected on the Leases that are pledged as collateral for the Notes. This cash must be segregated within two business days into a trust account and the cash is used to pay the principal and interest on the Notes as well as any associated

Table of Contents

administrative expenses. The level of restricted cash is impacted from one period to the next by the volume of Leases pledged as collateral on the Notes and timing of collections on such Leases.

As of September 30, 2003, the Company has $1,013,115 available under the $2,500,000 shelf registration statement.

Future maturities of the Notes, based on contractual maturities of the Leases for each of the succeeding fiscal years, are as follows:

During fiscal 2003, income generated from the Leases was $99,235, interest income on restricted cash was $190, while interest expense was $30,600 and general and administrative expenses were $5,971. Principal collections on the Leases during fiscal 2003 were $294,099, proceeds from issuance of the Notes were $852,085 and the Company repaid $309,746 of principal on the Notes. During fiscal 2002, income generated from the Leases was $29,779, interest income on restricted cash was $110, while interest expense was $8,323 and general and administrative expenses were $1,365. Principal collections on the Leases during fiscal 2002 were $68,390, proceeds from the Notes were $634,800, and the Company repaid $64,576 of principal on the Notes. The Company’s portfolio of Leases had an average yield of 11.9% and 9.9% during fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, and the Company’s weighted average interest rate of its total debt cost during fiscal 2003 and 2002 was 3.5% and 3.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 36% for fiscal 2003 and 40% for fiscal 2002.

IOSC provides, in accordance with the applicable assignment and servicing agreement for the Notes, servicer reports to the Trustee for each series (the “Servicer Reports”). The Servicer Reports prepared during fiscal 2003 are furnished with this report. During 2003, IOSC made certain adjustments to the Servicer Reports that modified the following:

Table of Contents

The Company incurs debt to fund the origination of Leases for IKON. The interest rates charged on the debt are determined based on current market conditions and include variable measures of interest rates such as LIBOR. The Company monitors interest rates on debt in order to mitigate exposure to unfavorable variations as compared to the interest rate earned on the pledged Leases. The objective in managing this risk is to achieve fixed-rate financing at the same time the Company establishes the rate to be received by the Company on the Leases. As a result, from time to time, interest rate swaps are utilized to effectively fix the rate on variable rate debt, as opposed to a direct issuance of fixed rate debt. The risk associated with the use of interest rate swaps is the possible inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes.

The following table presents, as of September 30, 2003, information regarding the interest rate swap agreement to which the Company is a party: (i) the notional amount, (ii) the fixed interest rate payable by the Company, (iii) the variable interest rate payable to the Company by the counterparty under the agreement, (iv) the fair value of the instrument, and (v) the maturity date of the agreement.

The financial statements of the Company are submitted herewith on Pages F-1 through F-11 of this report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    ORGANIZATION

IKON Receivables Funding, LLC (the “Company”) is a special purpose Delaware limited liability company, all of the membership interests in which are held by IKON Receivables-2, LLC (the “Sole Member”), also a special purpose Delaware limited liability company. All of the membership interests in the Sole Member are owned by IOS Capital, LLC (“IOSC”), a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of IKON Office Solutions, Inc. (“IKON”), a publicly traded company with fiscal 2003 revenues of approximately $4.7 billion. IKON integrates imaging systems and services that help businesses manage document workflow and increase efficiency. IKON represents the industry’s broadest portfolio of document management services: outsourcing and professional services, on-site copy and mailroom management, fleet management, off-site digital printing solutions, and customized workflow and imaging application development. The Company was organized in the State of Delaware on October 9, 2001 and is managed by IKON Receivables Funding, Inc. (the “Manager”).

The Company was organized to engage exclusively in the following business and financial activities: to purchase or acquire from IKON, or any subsidiary or affiliate of IKON, any right to payment, whether constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible, and certain related property (other than equipment) and rights (collectively, “Finance Receivables”), and hold, sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of Finance Receivables or interests therein; to enter into any agreement related to any Finance Receivables that provides for the administration, servicing and collection of amounts due on such Finance Receivables and any interest rate hedging arrangements in connection therewith; to distribute Finance Receivables or proceeds from Finance Receivables and any other income to its Sole Member; and to engage in any lawful act or activity and to exercise any power that is incidental and is necessary or convenient to the foregoing and permitted under Delaware law.

The Company has issued the Series 2002-1 and 2003-1 lease-backed notes (collectively, the “Notes”) which are secured by a segregated pool of assets (the “Asset Pool”) that includes a portfolio of chattel paper composed of leases, leases intended as security agreements and installment sales contracts acquired or originated by IOSC (the “Leases”), together with the equipment financing portion of each periodic rental payment due pursuant to the terms of each series of Notes. The Leases, including the Company’s security interest (which is limited to recoveries on non-performing Leases) in the underlying equipment and other property related to the Leases (such equipment and property herein referred to as the “Equipment”), are referred to as “Lease Receivables.”

The Lease Receivables, including the Equipment, have been transferred to the Company and the Lease Receivables have been pledged by the Company to the applicable indenture trustee (the “Trustee”) in accordance with the terms of the assignment and servicing agreement applicable to each series of Notes. The Notes are secured solely by the Asset Pool and have no right, title or interest in the Equipment. The sole source of funds available for payment of the Notes are the Asset Pool and any applicable reserve account established in accordance with each applicable indenture and financial guarantee insurance policy. The Trustee has no right, title, or interest in the residual values of any of the Equipment except to the extent of the Company’s limited security interest with respect to recoveries on non-performing Leases.

Neither the Sole Member nor the Manager is liable for the debts, liabilities, contracts or other obligations of the Company solely by reason of being the Sole Member or Manager of the Company.

The Company’s organizational documents require it to operate in such a manner that it should not be consolidated in the bankruptcy estate of the Sole Member, IOSC, or IKON, should any of these entities become subject to such a proceeding. The Company is legally separate from each of the foregoing entities, and the assets of the Company, including, without limitation, the Lease Receivables, are not available to the creditors of the Sole Member, IOSC, or IKON.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

Lease finance income is recognized over the related lease term. Revenue for interest income on restricted cash is recognized in the period earned.

Income Taxes

The Company is classified as a single-member limited liability corporation and, as such, is disregarded as an entity separate from its owners for income tax purposes. Income taxes are reported in accordance with an informal tax sharing agreement with IKON. The income tax provision provided by the Company pursuant to this agreement is on a separate return basis.

The net investment in leases represents the uncollected contractual cash flow of the Leases that were contributed to the Company by the Sole Member in the form of contributed capital. The tax basis and related income tax benefits attributable to the Leases are retained by the Sole Member. Therefore, the contribution of the Leases results in a deferred tax liability and is attributed to the differences between the book and tax basis of the net Leases outstanding as calculated by the Company pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Because the Company is not obligated to reimburse the Sole Member for current income taxes, all reversals of the deferred tax liability to current income taxes payable and any current income taxes payable are considered additional capital contributions from the Sole Member.

Financial Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements for purposes other than trading. Interest rate swap agreements are used by the Company to modify variable rate obligations to fixed rate obligations, thereby reducing the exposure to market rate fluctuations. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedges, and effectiveness is determined by matching the principal balance and terms with that specific obligation. Such an agreement involves the exchange of amounts based on fixed interest rates for amounts based on variable interest rates over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the notional amount upon which payments are based. Gains and losses on terminations of interest rate swap agreements are deferred and amortized over the remaining term of the original contract life of the terminated swap agreement. In the event of early extinguishment of the obligation, any realized or unrealized gain or loss from the swap would be recognized in income at the time of extinguishment.

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 133, as amended, which requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in earnings or Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“OCI”) depending on the type of hedging instrument and the effectiveness of those hedges.

All of the derivatives used by the Company as hedges are highly effective as defined by SFAS 133 because all of the critical terms of the derivatives match those of the hedged item. All of the derivatives used by the Company have been designated as cash flow hedges at the time they were executed. All derivatives are adjusted to their fair market values at the end of each quarter. Unrealized net gains and losses for cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI.

F-7

Table of Contents

IKON RECEIVABLES FUNDING, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

As of September 30, 2003, the Company’s derivative was designated as a hedge. This interest rate swap qualifies for evaluation using the “short cut” method for assessing effectiveness. As such, there is an assumption of no ineffectiveness. During the year ended September 30, 2003, unrealized net losses totaling $1,006, after taxes, were recorded in OCI.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash on the balance sheets represents the cash that has been collected on the Leases that are pledged as collateral for the Notes. This cash must be segregated within two business days into a trust account and the cash is used to pay the principal and interest on the Notes as well as any associated administrative expenses. The level of restricted cash is impacted from one period to the next by the volume of Leases pledged as collateral on the Notes and timing of collections on such Leases.

3.    CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

In fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Sole Member made non-cash capital contributions to the Company of $1,041,302 and $706,032, respectively, of Leases and the reversal of income tax liability (see note 2). The Company was formed on October 9, 2001 and the Sole Member made an initial capital contribution of $1 to the Company on March 5, 2002. During fiscal 2003 and 2002, the Company made capital distributions to the Sole Member of $869,772 and $620,297, respectively.

4.    SERVICING AGREEMENT

The Company has a servicing agreement with IOSC for which IOSC services the Leases and provides administrative services to the Company. The servicing fee is calculated by multiplying 0.75% by the lesser of the discounted present value of the Leases or the outstanding amount of the Notes (see note 6). The servicing fee expense was $5,971 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 and $1,365 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.

5.    INVESTMENT IN LEASES

At September 30, 2003, contractual maturities of finance lease receivables were as follows:

Residual values included in the investment in leases are paid by IKON at the end of the Lease. The equipment is then transferred to IKON, who is responsible for remarketing. IKON has no obligation or responsibility to make such payments at the end of the lease term and, if any such amounts are paid by IKON, holders of the Notes have no right or claim to any such amounts.

6.    LEASE-BACKED NOTES

The Company has issued the Notes as described below:

The Notes were issued pursuant to certain indentures (the “Indentures”) between the Company, IOSC, and the Trustee. The Notes are secured by the Asset Pool that includes a portfolio of Leases acquired or originated by IOSC, together with the equipment financing portion of each periodic rental payment due pursuant to the terms of each series of Notes.

The Lease Receivables, including the Equipment, have been transferred to the Company and the Lease Receivables have been pledged by the Company to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the assignment and servicing agreement applicable to each such series. The Notes are secured solely by the Asset Pool and have no right, title or interest in the Equipment. The sole source of funds available for payment of the Notes are the Asset Pool and any applicable reserve account established in accordance with each applicable Indenture and financial guarantee insurance policy. The Trustee has no right, title, or interest in the residual values of any of the Equipment except to the extent of the Company’s limited security interest with respect to recoveries on non-performing Leases.

The Notes have certain credit enhancement features available to noteholders, including reserve accounts, overcollateralization accounts and noncancelable insurance policies from Ambac Assurance Corporation with respect to the Notes. On each payment date, funds available from the collection of Lease Receivables will be paid to the noteholders in the order of their priority class.

The Notes bear interest from the related issuance date at the stated rates specified above. The variable rate 2003-1 Class A-3a Notes have been fixed at 2.095% through an interest rate swap.

IOSC services the Leases and may delegate its servicing responsibilities to one or more sub-servicers, but such delegation does not relieve IOSC of its liabilities with respect thereto. IOSC retains possession of the Leases and related files, and receives a monthly service fee from the Company for servicing the Leases.

As of September 30, 2003, the Company had $1,013,115 available under the $2,500,000 shelf registration statement.

8.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company incurs debt to fund the origination of Leases for IKON. The interest rates charged on the debt are determined based on current market conditions and include variable measures of interest rates such as LIBOR. The Company monitors interest rates on debt in order to mitigate exposure to unfavorable variations as compared to the interest rate earned on the pledged Leases. The objective in managing this risk is to achieve fixed-rate financing at the same time the Company establishes the rate to be received by the Company on the Leases. As a result, from time to time interest rate swaps are utilized to effectively fix the rate on variable rate debt, as opposed to a direct issuance of fixed rate debt. The risk associated with the use of interest rate swaps is the possible inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes.

9.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

IKON entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”), dated December 10, 2003, by and among IKON, IOSC and General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”), pursuant to which, among other things, GE will acquire certain assets and liabilities of IOSC, including, without limitation, IOSC’s servicing functions, facilities, systems and processes. As a condition to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, IKON and GE will enter into a program agreement (the “Program Agreement”), under which, among other things, GE will become the preferred lease-financing source for IKON’s customers in the United States and Canada. Under the terms of the Agreement, and subject to closing adjustments, IKON will receive approximately $1.5 billion of gross proceeds.

IOSC is currently a wholly-owned finance subsidiary of IKON. The Sole Member is a special purpose Delaware limited liability company and is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of IOSC, and the Company is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of IOSC held through the Sole Member.

Before the closing of the transaction with GE, IKON intends to merge IOSC into IKON. As a result of the merger of IOSC into IKON, the Sole Member will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of IKON, and the Sole Member will continue to hold the Company as a subsidiary. Immediately after the effectiveness of the merger, IKON will sell certain former assets and liabilities of IOSC to GE or one of its affiliates. The Company will continue to be the issuer of the Notes. Following the closing of the transaction described above, the underlying Lease Receivables will be serviced or sub-serviced by GE or one of its affiliates.

The closing of the transaction is subject to execution of the Program Agreement relating to GE’s relationship with IKON as its preferred lease-financing source, as well as execution of other agreements and customary conditions, including receipt of certain third party consents. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal 2004.
