SG&A expenses increased by $1.9 million to $189.1 million in the fourth quarter, from $187.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2000.

Lowrey commented: "Our disappointing fourth quarter results are due in large part to a decline in margins, which is a result of decreased sales productivity, competitive conditions and the industry's transition from analog to digital products. In addition, we have failed to reduce SG&A expenses in line with margin declines.

 of $153.5 million for fiscal year 2001 compared to earnings of $113.0 million for fiscal year 2000, also before restructuring charges. Including the effect of restructuring charges, the Company incurred losses from operations of $169.2 million for fiscal year 2001 and earnings of $117.1 million for fiscal year 2000. Total revenues decreased by 17.3% to $2.1 billion in fiscal year 2001 from $2.5 billion in fiscal year 2000. The retail equipment margin decreased to 15.7% from 29.4% in fiscal 2000. This was primarily due to a $62.6 million write-off of excess, obsolete and non-recoverable equipment. The retail service, supplies and rentals margin decreased to 34.1% from 38.4% in fiscal 2000. SG&A expenses declined by $61.3 million to $677.0 million for fiscal year 2001 from $738.3 million in fiscal year 2000. The decline in SG&A expenses over these periods was primarily due to currency fluctuations and lower employment costs. Due to decreased revenue, SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 32.8% in fiscal year 2001 from 29.6% in fiscal year 2000.

The Company incurred a net loss of $220.6 million for fiscal year 2001 compared to net earnings of $10.3 million for fiscal year 2000.

This new facility will provide the necessary financing for the Company's strategic initiatives and will allow Danka to emerge from the difficult credit environment it has been operating under during the past two and a half years. Debt reduction continues to be a principal focus of the Company and we will continue to review all opportunities for additional debt reduction."

 in full on March 31, 2002. The Company anticipates that it will close the exchange offer, the refinancing of its senior credit facility and the sale of DSI on or about June 29, 2001.

The Company is implementing the refinancing plan because it does not believe that it would otherwise be in a position to repay in full its indebtedness under its senior credit facility and the subordinated notes when they become due for payment in 2002. If the Company fails to complete its refinancing plan, it will be required to consider other alternatives to refinance its debt.
