I agree that the MM's are quite happy to collect stock at the moment, but this has recently been by the UK MM's and not on the other side of the pond, where they have been far more cautious.

My position at the moment is based upon the strong recent rise in the markets last week, presumably based on the hopes of a Fed rate cut, which I feel is unlikely IMO. Therefore, the markets COULD retrace up to 10% with a lack of positive news.

This could in turn affect the Danky aswell, as it did the last time that the markets took a nosedive. In no way do I question the obvious undervaluation of Danka, but I am personally just trying to pre-empt my butt burning on the
barbecue.

As I have already stated, I will be re-adding to my holding in the VERY near future, but am waiting for clearer market direction first.

At Last,


- Company signs multi-year agreements with Pitney Bowes, Cendant Corporation -

Danka Business Systems PLC today announced that it recently has won two
multi-year agreements under its expanded and re-focused U.S. Strategic Accounts
program. Danka signed a five-year contract with Pitney Bowes Management Services
to upgrade its business centers across the United States (as well as in Canada),
and the Company additionally signed a three-year contract to provide office
imaging equipment, services, and supplies to Cendant Corporation and to be the
preferred supplier to its thousands of well-known franchisees across the nation.

"Both of these successes are the result of our new approach to what we call
strategic accounts, particularly national and enterprise accounts," said Todd
Mavis, chief operating officer of Danka's U.S. Group. "Our enterprise accounts
initiative is focused on leveraging Danka's experience and comprehensive
solutions set to address the diverse document information challenges of larger,
more complex companies such as Pitney Bowes and Cendant."

Pitney Bowes Contract

Danka's winning Pitney Bowes bid centered around its new Danka @ the DesktopTM
solution, which bundles multi-vendor imaging systems, advanced workflow
software, customized applications software, and all associated services and
support. The estimated value of the contract is $13 million based on current
volume projections.

"We are excited to partner with Pitney Bowes on this important project, which
further validates the advantages of our Danka @ the Desktop initiative,"
commented Todd Mavis. "Our focus centered on what we could do to strengthen
Pitney Bowes' leadership role in their marketplace. By drawing on our extensive
expertise in print management, we were able to deliver a comprehensive solution
with both immediate and long-term benefits. This approach provides an optimal
process for cost-effectively expanding an organization's capabilities."

The Danka solution provides Pitney Bowes with a powerful, cost-effective way to
transition 17 business centers to a connected, intelligent digital environment.
Danka will install a combination of high-speed Heidelberg Digimaster 9110
imaging systems and Canon color and black & white copiers/printers, along with
workflow software to manage all of the devices. In addition, Danka will
integrate applications software that it has developed specifically for Pitney
Bowes to enhance business center capabilities and streamline key processes.
Danka also will provide system integration, training services, and ongoing
technical services and supplies throughout the five-year term.

Danka @ the Desktop enables customers to improve document workflow and printing
processes, increase productivity, and lower overall document production costs.
Typical components include a workflow analysis by Danka's professional services
consulting staff, integrated software that enhances control and accountability,
necessary imaging system additions and upgrades, implementation services and
printer network optimization, user training, and ongoing monitoring and
technical support.

Cendant Contract

The Cendant agreement designates Danka as the exclusive provider of office
imaging equipment, service, and supplies for Cendant's corporate locations. In
addition, Danka becomes the preferred provider for thousands of Cendant's
franchisees, which operate under such leading brands as Coldwell Banker, CENTURY
21, Avis, Days Inn, Super 8, Ramada, and Travelodge. The contract is valued at
more than $10 million.

"Cendant is one of the foremost providers of travel, real estate, vehicle, and
financial services in the world," noted Todd Mavis. "This agreement enables
Cendant and its franchisees to access Danka's world-class suite of document
information solutions. It provides Cendant with choice and flexibility in
acquiring the color and black-and-white copiers, fax machines, and
multi-function devices that best meet its needs. It ensures high uptime
performance for this equipment because of our well-regarded technical services
and supplies business. And it gives Cendant the opportunity to benefit from our
professional services consulting and integration abilities as well as our Danka
@ the Desktop solution."

savage - down right nasty 357!! lol, keeps eating my profit!!lol

[forfaiter] 13/8/2002 13:59

Not without an RNS first...which they tend to release around 1.30pm...so no not today.....but you never know with Danky ...hence the hold and wait approach...

[ambabe] 13/8/2002 13:58

Figures only came in as expected! nothing earth shattering.

US markets set to open lower, futures down!

[oaklandsway] 13/8/2002 13:54

At least the data of US retail sales rose by an as-expected 1.2 percent in July, also wal-mart stores inc. did well. These two factors could help to hold up Dow until Fed announce their meeting. IMHO.

[ambabe] 13/8/2002 13:51

So, ff you are not expecting refinancing news today then??

Sorry to keep firing questions at you, but I am losing confidence in this share.
