ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 22, 2002--Danka
Business Systems PLC (Nasdaq:DANKY) has launched a new U.S.
advertising campaign with the premier of a television commercial
featuring the company's innovative cost-saving print solution, Danka @
the Desktop(TM).

The television ad, entitled "Inkwell," uses a unique stop-frame
animation technique to show copiers and printers relaxing after a hard
day at the office. The ad's message is that Danka's solutions help
customers improve their document workflow and printing processes,
including saving companies up to 40% on their print costs through
Danka @ the Desktop.

"Our new advertising campaign reflects Danka's response to the
analog-to-digital transition taking place within our industry," said
Todd Mavis, president and chief operating officer of Danka's U.S.
Group. "It demonstrates our progress in providing a higher customer
value proposition that's focused on extending our clients'
capabilities while reducing their print costs. With Danka @ the
Desktop, we deliver complete document solutions that enable customers
to take full advantage of everything Danka offers - including
Professional Services consulting, integrated software, advanced
printing and copying systems, and industry leading service and
support."

"We are differentiating ourselves in the marketplace with our
high-value Danka @ the Desktop solution, and we want our advertising
to set us apart from the competition as well," explained Donald W.
Thurman, Danka's chief growth and marketing officer. "The initial
television ad accomplishes that in an amusing and visually appealing
way while accentuating our cost savings message. It also gives us an
opportunity to feature three of our Danka @ the Desktop partners:
Toshiba, Canon, and Heidelberg. Additionally, the ad campaign signals
that we've entered a new phase of our turnaround - one that will be
increasingly focused on growth and not just debt reduction."
The Inkwell commercial is airing regularly this month and next in
the United States on CNBC, CNN, Headline News, and MSNBC. Danka plans
to begin print advertising, primarily in well-known U.S. business
magazines, early next year. The ad campaign is the company's first
since 1998

as i said oakland.... whatever.

[oaklandsway] 22/11/2002 19:35

Phook from now on, I will not invite you discuss & please not reply my post if you are mentally not ready.

I used to have opposite view with ff but people in this board can still enjoy our discussion because of the substance. People can still use our opinion, right or wrong, to make decision in their investment.

But, with you..... people can only see anger so please not reply my post for good.

[phook inell] 22/11/2002 19:22

yeh, whatever

[oaklandsway] 22/11/2002 19:15

sp, it was started with post no. 10619. Was that not normal?
I think phook does not like bearish opinion & he might think whatever I wrote were about "bear" because I am bearish.

[phook inell] 22/11/2002 19:08

so you expect break out in the last hour or so ?

[serious punter] 22/11/2002 19:07

phook

Yes its realtime via money.net - 14 bucks a month :0(

Oaks

Let's resume normal service :0)

[oaklandsway] 22/11/2002 19:02

sp,
I tried to make good discussion by talking about $4 mark but what I got was an accusation without substance or can't understand the substance.

It was started with this post:



oaklandsway - 22 Nov'02 - 17:30 - 10619 of 10629 edit


Phook,
I told you yesterday that $4 is the price to watch and we can see now that breaking $4 takes time but will give firmer direction.

Your charts say $4 is not significant?

[phook inell] 22/11/2002 19:00

sp

do you have real time level 2... i am looking at lycos delayed level 2 so unable to know. but todays action in the US is fine by me so long it finishes in the current price range.

[serious punter] 22/11/2002 18:54

phook

Excellent - normal service can be resumed :0)

Have you noticed Sells outweigh Buys 3:1, yet DANKY refuses to stay under $4 and level 2 looks like it could suddenly rocket to $4.25 - Any thoughts?

[phook inell] 22/11/2002 18:49

sp

you are right, but oaks started this spat after a quiet day. I am only obliged to respond to his initiation. i will call in a truce.

[serious punter] 22/11/2002 18:44

Phook - Oaks

Hey guys call it quits - Apart from generating bad feeling there's nothing to be gained in this war of words. You both have made conributions to the info chain, but at the end of the day, individuals must do their own research and make an informed decision.

Currently trading $4./4.02

[phook inell] 22/11/2002 18:32

all i know oaks that your predictions in the past few weeks have been proven wrong (especially the bear trap one and calling buyers 'mad' for paying over $3) and then you turned decisively bearish (which I dont mind) for which you denied, by reading from your post one can only get that picture.

by the way, your 90% figure is laughable. Just reading a few of your posts in the past 12 months (even threads created by you)... you putting out wild price targets that havent materliased.... you were even bullish of this stock all the way from 85p when FF was advising sell. Since then the stock plumetted to 25p. Just go back in the past few months and see how you were pumping danka when it was falling from 85p. Who actually created this thread with the £1 test heading.

[oaklandsway] 22/11/2002 18:27

ask people here and ask my bank.

[phook inell] 22/11/2002 18:19

lol.. talk about self admiration taken to the extreme.

if you say so oakland, if you say so.

[oaklandsway] 22/11/2002 18:13

Not only psichological if you look back from history (last 12 months). Always took more than one day to break $4 (up or down). Barchart also said $4.04 was the resistance for yesterday.

IMHO, over 90% of my analyis was correct.

Regarding the $2.70 was a bear trap (it was also correct on the day before earnings) then the price dropped to $2.14.

I might be wrong saying "mad" to people who paid $3+ but I meant paying to keep for long. Yes, we can make profit to trade over $3 but I will certainly won't play long at price over $3 and in fact people in UK who got trapped over six months ago tend to sell (as they have chance to get their money back plus some profit) and MMs do not seem bullish (the bid price is too low comparing Danky).

Another fact, institutions holding had reduced about 3% (from 12%+ to 9%+).

IMHO, I predicted Danky will pull back to $3.70-ish before next result in February. Hopefully, I am wrong so you will be happy.

We all expect Q3 will be better in eps but not sure yet about revenue comparing last year.

[phook inell] 22/11/2002 17:34

oaks

i accepted pschologically $4 is a barrier, but chartist/ta wise cant see any significance.

and anyway having rose consistently this week a breather was expected and that coincidentally occured at $4. I remember you saying similar stuff for other so called resistance levels but those were smashed with no problems. This time round you seemed to have been lucky with your prediction - by coincedence rather than anything else.. I remember the $2.70 bear trap very well and all those "mad" people buy at $3... dont you ?

ps all very good boasting your correct prediction and overlooking your failed ones. Hardly self critical are you ?

[oaklandsway] 22/11/2002 17:14

jag,
As I said to you (when it was at 19p / 21p) ITL should be OK although the EBITDA might still small but should be growing. Traders may push it to around 30p, IMHO.

panagos, I will read the result of PKN on Monday. Expecting further growth with target price of 150p - 170p (with high PE ratio unfortunately).

[panagos] 22/11/2002 17:11

next week's results, for those who feel like, womowork...LOL

[panagos] 22/11/2002 17:05

yep, how's things?

[clairvoyant1] 22/11/2002 17:01

oak what do u think of itl today ahead of results

[oaklandsway] 22/11/2002 16:57

panagos, are you there mate?

[phook inell] 22/11/2002 16:53

blockbuy

i know Q3 and Q4 are their strongest quarters so they may please the market. but i'm hoping to sell danka before then once my price target is reached.

[blockbuy] 22/11/2002 16:42

soz, not nervous....anxious as to how far she will go....

It makes a change to be able to sit back and not worry about loosing a few points (or 10).....and to feel confident when topping up.....

;-)

Stepping back from the trend and momentum rise for the mo, how does Q3 shape up for revenue etc in relation to Q1 and Q2 which have now been reported on....

I'm thinking of that previous target range of £1.40 - £1.60...is it still valid or do we have to wait and adjust come Q3 results???
