Item 9

Danka Business Systems PLC (the “Company”) has provided the following nonpublic information to certain broker/dealers, investment advisers, institutional investment managers, investment companies and/or holders of the Company’s securities that has not previously been disclosed publicly by the Company:

For fiscal year 2004, barring the adverse impact of the realization of any business risks, including, but not limited to, those identified in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we expect to reduce the decline in total revenue experienced over the past several years and currently expect fiscal year 2004 revenue to approach that of fiscal year 2003. We also expect EBITDA in fiscal year 2004 to be in a range that is substantially in line with fiscal year 2003 EBITDA. We expect EBITDA in the first half of fiscal year 2004 to be lower than that for the comparable period in fiscal year 2003, due in part to (1) foreign exchange benefits and (2) larger than normal equipment lease and residual payments from a diminishing external lease funding program received in the first half of fiscal year 2003. We expect our results to be stronger in the second half of fiscal year 2004, due in part to the realization of cost saving benefits from our Oracle ERP System in the United States and improved service and supply revenues resulting from the increased mix of digital equipment in our machines in field.

EBITDA is computed as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA represents a non-GAAP financial measure, the Company considers this measure to be a key operating metric of its business. The Company uses this measure in its planning and budgeting processes, to monitor and evaluate its financial and operating results and to measure performance of its separate divisions. The Company also believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it provides an analysis of financial and operating results using the same measure that the Company uses in evaluating itself. The Company expects that such measure provides investors with the means to evaluate its financial and operating results against other companies within its industry. In addition, the Company believes that this measure is meaningful to investors in evaluating its ability to meet its future debt service requirements, to fund its capital expenditures and to meet its working capital requirements. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA may not be consistent with the calculation of this measure by other companies in the Company’s industry. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.
