"We are extremely pleased with our sixth transaction in the asset-backed market since 1999," stated James J. Forese, Chairman and CEO. "The asset-backed market serves as our primary source of funding for our leasing business. These funds are utilized to support new growth in our lease portfolio, as existing lease receivables and the related asset-backed debt on our balance sheet are retired. IKON's ability to access the asset-backed market at favorable terms and cost of funding contributes to the consistent and very profitable returns we experience in our leasing business - a business which also serves as a key competitive advantage as customers look to do business with one vendor for their document management and related financing needs."
