REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Plan Administrator

Danka 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Danka 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Danka 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2004 and 2003

(1) Description of the Plan

The Danka 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) was adopted by Danka Office Imaging Company (the Sponsor or Employer) on August 8, 1984, effective January 1, 1984. The following description of the Plan provides only general information. The Plan document should be referred to for a complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

(a) General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan that contains an employee salary deferral arrangement under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). Employees are eligible to participate immediately as of the first payroll date following their date of hire. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) as amended.

(b) Amendments

The Plan has been amended at various times, including an amendment in January 1994, creating the Danka Business Systems PLC Fund. On April 1, 1996, the Employer changed its name from Danka Industries, Inc. to Danka Corporation. During 1998, the Danka Corporation 401(k) Plan changed its name to Danka Office Imaging Company 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan.

In October 1999, Danka Office Imaging Company amended its matching policy from a cash match to a match in Danka Business Systems PLC common stock, which was a discretionary match. The change was effective as of February 1, 1999. All employer contributions from February 1999 through October 2000 were in Danka Business Systems common stock. Effective November 1, 2000, the Company suspended the employer match until further notice.

Effective April 1, 2001, Danka Office Imaging Company amended the Plan to reinstate employer-matching contributions. The amount of the match is discretionary and will depend in part on the extent to which Danka satisfies its EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and other financial targets for the respective fiscal year. In addition, the Danka Office Imaging Company 401(k) Plan changed its name to the Danka 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan.

In December 2003, Danka Office Imaging Company amended the Plan. The amendment was effective as of January 1, 2003, and changed the discretionary matching contribution formula and more clearly defined which participants are not eligible to share in the matching contribution allocation. The amendment also changed the Actual Deferral Percentage (ADP) and the Actual Contribution Percentage (ACP) testing method. In addition, Danka Office Imaging Company also adopted an amendment to the Plan to reflect recently issued Treasury Regulations regarding age 70 ½ required minimum distributions. This change was effective January 1, 2003.

Effective January 1, 2004, Danka Office Imaging Company amended and restated the Danka 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. Changes included the removal of the percentage compensation limitation on elective contributions that a participant may elect to have contributed to the Plan and the elimination of the installment payment form of benefit distribution. Lump sum payments will be the only remaining form of benefit distribution available after January 31, 2005.

Danka 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2004 and 2003

(c) Contributions

The Plan provides that contributions each year will consist of (a) voluntary employee contributions equal to the amount of total compensation that each participant has elected to defer and (b) a discretionary employer-matching contribution, as approved by the Board of Directors. Total elective deferrals for any individual participant cannot exceed $13,000 for 2004 and $12,000 for 2003. In the case of certain highly compensated individuals, additional restrictions may be applicable.

Contributions are credited to the individual account of each participant. The Plan allows participants to direct the investment of their contributions into 25 different investment options including Danka Business Systems PLC common stock. Employer contributions are recorded in the Plan year of Board approval. There were no employer contributions recorded in 2004.

(d) Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is self-directed and is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Sponsor’s matching contribution, if applicable, and an allocation of Plan earnings and investment gains or losses on Plan investments. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account

(e) Forfeitures

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $526,103, and $513,436, respectively. Forfeitures generated during 2004 and 2003 were $41,005 and $67,672, respectively. Forfeiture accounts are used to reduce the amount the Company is required to contribute under terms of the Plan and to pay plan expenses. During 2004 and 2003, no forfeitures were used to offset employer contributions.

(f) Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions. Vesting in sponsor contributions is determined based upon a participant’s years of service. The following schedules indicate the vesting percentages for the 2004 and 2003 plan years:

Years of service	Vested percentage
Less than 1 year	0	%
1	25	%
2	50	%
3	75	%
4	100	%

In the event of death or total and permanent disability, all amounts credited to such participant’s account shall become fully vested.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2004 and 2003

(g) Participant Loans

Eligible participants, with a vested account balance of at least $2,000, may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between the investment fund and the participant loan fund. Loan terms range from six months to five years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at prime interest rate as of the last business day of the month preceding the month in which the loan is processed, plus 1%.

(h) Payment of Benefits

Upon retirement, death or termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a lump sum amount equal to the value of his or her account, a direct rollover or annuity payments for the life of the participant.

(i) Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, Danka (the Company) has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan. In the event of plan termination, each participant shall immediately become 100% vested and receive his individual account balance in accordance with the Plan provisions in effect at the time of the Plan termination.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

(b) Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined as of the close of business on the last day of the plan year. For common stock and mutual funds, fair value is determined by the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year. For common and collective trusts, fair value is determined by the Plan trustee. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded at the ex-dividend date.

(c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results differ from those estimates.

(d) Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

	2004		2003
Danka Business Systems PLC Common Stock	$	22,665,326	37,304,958

AIM Constellation Fund		14,089,166	14,720,589
ML Global Allocation Fund		12,707,974	11,972,160

(4) Transactions With Parties-in-Interest

The Plan held investments in trust funds invested by the trustee, which includes the common stock of the sponsor, with a fair value of $115,103,114 and $132,957,777 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Plan held investments in the common stock of the Sponsor with a fair value of $22,665,326 and $37,304,958 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

(5) Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

(6) Tax Status

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 21, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

(7) Reconciliation to Form 5500

The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the 2004 Form 5500.

	2004		2003
Net assets available for benefits per accompanying financial statements	$	203,277,732	$	215,002,547
Less Benefits Payable		289,167		190,500
Net assets available per Form 5500	$	202,988,565	$	214,812,047
Benefit payments per accompanying financial statements	$	27,304,993
Plus Benefits Payable		289,167
Net benefits payments per Form 5500	$	27,594,160
