Management will be indicating that there have been no material changes in trading performance or market conditions across our various businesses since the preliminary results announcement in March and, despite the weakening of the US dollar, performance is slightly ahead of overall expectations.

Organic Growth

Overall organic growth was 7.6% with around 6% in developed markets and around 14% in developing markets.


In security services, organic growth remained strong as a result of good performances from the UK and New Markets. Organic growth in North America and Continental Europe continued to be in line with expectations.
Cash services continued to produce excellent organic growth, supported by particularly strong performances in Europe and New Markets.

Margins

Overall margins were ahead by 0.3% on the same period last year, reflecting a trend across most geographic regions.


Security services margins improved mainly as a result of the good performances of our businesses in Europe and New Markets. Margins in North America were in line with last year.
In cash services, trading continued to be strong, with margin improvements being driven mainly by our businesses in Continental Europe and North America.

Acquisitions & Divestments

We continue to have a strong pipeline of potential bolt-on acquisition opportunities, particularly in New Markets. During the first quarter, we completed a number of transactions, including acquisitions in South Africa, the UK, Saudi Arabia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Serbia.

Outlook

We have made a strong start to the year and are confident that this performance will continue throughout 2007.
