To O u r S h a re h o l d e r s

he Brink’s Company continues to demonstrate that it is a proven performer with a powerful brand and

a bright future. Our 2007 results were outstanding. Earnings from continuing operations grew 31% to

a new high of $148.6 million or $3.16 per share. Each of our two security businesses delivered record-setting

revenue, operating profit and cash flow. We expect continued revenue and profit growth in 2008 and beyond.

We begin 2008 with a new strategic direction aimed at creating additional value. On February 25, our board

approved a strategic decision to pursue a tax-free spin-off of Brink’s Home Security. We expect to complete the

spin-off in this year’s fourth quarter. Upon completion of the transaction, shareholders will become owners of

two stand-alone, publicly traded companies. The Brink’s Company will continue to operate Brink’s, Incorporated,

our secure transportation and cash management business.

The spin-off decision marks the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in our 150-year history of success.

Both businesses are market leaders that outperform their peers on almost every operating metric. Each should

benefit from enhanced management focus and more efficient capital structures. Compensation and incentives

will be more closely aligned with performance. For shareholders, each business will provide greater transparency

and a more targeted investment opportunity. Given these advantages, I am confident that both companies will

more quickly receive the valuations they deserve.

I commend all of our employees for the dedication they have shown in building two great businesses. Our

people, many of whom work in dangerous conditions, have been the driving force behind our success. Because of

them, shareholders of both companies will continue to be in good hands. I also salute our board and management

team for their ongoing commitment to enhancing the value of your investment in The Brink’s Company.

Sincerely,

Michael T. Dan

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Brink’s Company
The Brink’s Company (the “Company”) conducts business in the security industry through two wholly owned subsidiaries: Brink’s,
Incorporated (“Brink’s”) and Brink’s Home Security, Inc. (“BHS”). We employ approximately 57,500 people, with approximately 53,900 at
Brink’s and 3,600 at BHS.

Over the past several years, the Company has changed from a conglomerate (with operations in the security, heavy-weight freight
transportation, coal and other natural resource industries) into a company focused solely on the security industry.

On February 25, 2008, the board of directors approved a strategic decision to spin-off BHS in a tax-free stock distribution to the shareholders
of the Company. Immediately after the spin-off, BHS will be owned directly by the shareholders receiving shares in the distribution. In
addition, these shareholders will retain their shares in the Company, whose operations will consist primarily of Brink’s, its secure
transportation and cash management services unit. The distribution, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2008, is
subject to a number of customary conditions, including execution of appropriate inter-company agreements, filing of required documents
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and receipt of an opinion of counsel or a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service that the spin-off will be tax-free to the Company’s shareholders.

Total revenues were $3.2 billion and segment operating profit was $337.5 million in 2007. Of these amounts, Brink’s generated $2.7 billion
in revenues and $223 million of operating profit. BHS had revenues of $484 million and operating profit of $114 million.

Financial information related to The Brink’s Company, our two operating segments (Brink’s and BHS), and former operations is included in
the consolidated financial statements on pages 76 – 80 and in notes to consolidated financial statements on pages 81 – 118.

A significant portion of our business (approximately 57% of revenue) is conducted outside North America. Our financial results are reported
in U.S. dollars and are affected by fluctuations in the relative value of foreign currencies. Our business is also subject to other risks
customarily associated with operating in foreign countries including changing labor and economic conditions, political instability, restrictions
on repatriation of earnings and capital, as well as nationalization, expropriation and other forms of restrictive government actions. The future
effects of these risks cannot be predicted.

We continue to have significant liabilities associated with our former coal business, a substantial portion of which has been funded with cash
contributions to a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association trust (“VEBA”). For more information on these liabilities and the VEBA,
see pages 41 – 44.

Additional risk factors are described on pages 15 – 18.

In addition, the following documents are also available free of charge on our website:

Brink’s ownership interests in subsidiaries and affiliated companies ranged from 10% to 100% at December 31, 2007. In some instances,
local laws limit the extent of Brink’s ownership interest.

Growth Strategy
Over the past several years we have expanded the Brink’s business largely through internal growth which has been supplemented by
acquisitions. For example, the growth in revenue in the last three years from existing operations and acquisitions is as follows:

(In percentages)

Organic (a)
Acquisitions

2007

9%
2%

2005

6%
5%

(a)

Including the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. See reconciliation of non-GAAP measure on pages 33 and 35.

We intend to continue to pursue growth through acquisitions as long as we are able to acquire businesses that meet our internal metrics for
projected growth, profitability and return on investment. We are interested in growth in both new and existing markets and in both core and
value-added services. Although there are risks and start-up expenses when entering new markets, we believe that growth through a
combination of organic and acquisition is the best long-term strategy.

Services
Our primary services include:

• Cash-in-transit (“CIT”) armored car transportation
• Automated teller machine (“ATM”) replenishment and servicing
• Global Services – arranging secure long-distance transportation of valuables
• Cash Logistics – supply chain management of cash
• Guarding services, including airport security
•

Secure Data Solutions – transporting, storing and destroying sensitive information

Brink’s typically provides individualized services under separate contracts designed to meet the distinct needs of our customers. Contracts
usually cover an initial term of at least one year, and in many cases, multiple years, and generally remain in effect thereafter until canceled by
either party.

Core Services
CIT and ATM Services are core services we provide to customers throughout the world.

CIT We have been servicing customers since 1859. Our success in CIT is driven by a combination of rigorous security
practices, high quality customer service, risk management expertise and logistics expertise. CIT services generally
include the secure transportation of:

•
•

•

cash between businesses and banks
cash, securities and other valuables between commercial banks, central banks, and investment banking and
brokerage firms
new currency, coins and precious metals for central banks

ATM Services Brink’s manages nearly 72,000 ATM units worldwide for banks and other cash dispensing operators. We
provide cash replenishment, cash monitoring and forecasting capabilities, deposit pick-up and processing services.
Advanced online tools deliver consolidated electronic reports for simplified reconciliation.

Value-Added Services
Our core services, combined with our brand and global infrastructure, provide a substantial platform from which we offer
additional value-added services to our customers.

Global Services With operations spanning approximately 50 countries, Brink’s is a leading global provider of secure
long-distance logistics for valuables including diamonds, jewelry, precious metals, securities, currency, high-tech devices,
electronics and pharmaceuticals. We typically employ a combination of armored car and secure air transportation to
leverage our extensive global network. Our specialized diamond and jewelry operation has offices in the major diamond
and jewelry centers of the world.

Cash Logistics Brink’s offers a fully integrated approach to managing the supply chain of cash, from point-of-sale
through transport, vaulting and bank deposit and related credit. Cash Logistics services include:

• money processing and cash management services
•
•
•

deploying and servicing safes and safe control devices, including our patented CompuSafe(cid:1) service
integrated check and cash processing services (“Virtual Vault”)
check imaging services

Money processing services include counting, sorting and wrapping currency. Other currency management services
include cashier balancing, checking for counterfeit currency, account consolidation and electronic reporting. Retail and
bank customers use Brink’s to count and reconcile coins and currency in a secure environment, to prepare bank deposit
information, and to replenish coins and currency in specific denominations.

Brink’s offers a variety of advanced technology applications including online cash tracking, cash inventory management,
check imaging for real-time deposit processing, and a variety of other web-based information tools that enable banks and
other customers to reduce costs while improving service.

CompuSafe(cid:1) service offers customers an integrated, closed-loop system for preventing theft and managing cash. We
market CompuSafe(cid:1) services to a variety of cash-intensive customers such as convenience stores, gas stations,
restaurants, retail chains and entertainment venues. Our service includes the installation of a specialized safe in the
customer’s facility. The customer’s employees deposit currency into the safe’s cassettes, which can only be removed by
Brink’s personnel. Upon removal, the cassettes are transported to a secure location where contents are verified and
transferred for deposit. For added security and ease of use, our CompuSafe(cid:1) service system features currency-
recognition technology, multi-language touch screens and electronic interface between point-of-sale and back-office
systems.

Virtual Vault services combine CIT, Cash Logistics, vaulting and electronic reporting technologies to help banks expand
into new markets while minimizing investment in vaults and branch facilities. In addition to secure storage, we process
deposits, provide check imaging and reconciliation services, and electronically transmit debits and credits.

We believe the quality and scope of our cash processing and information systems differentiate our Cash Logistics
services from competitive offerings.

In 2007, Cash Logistics generated $434 million (16% of Brink’s revenues). This figure includes coin and currency
processing.

Other Security Services

Security and Guarding We protect airports, offices, warehouses, stores, and public venues with electronic surveillance,
access control, fire prevention and highly trained patrolling personnel. Our guarding services are generally offered in
European markets including France, Germany, Luxembourg and Greece. A significant portion of this business involves
long-term contracts related primarily to guarding services at airports. Generally, other guarding contracts are for a one-
year period, the majority of which are extended. Our security officers are typically stationed at customer sites, and
responsibilities include detecting and deterring specific security threats.

Secure Data Solutions Our CIT, Global Services and document destruction services provide secure transportation,
storage and shredding services for confidential records, back-up data tapes, product overruns and other sensitive
information and media.

Industry and Competition
Brink’s competes with large multinational, regional and smaller companies throughout the world. Our largest multinational competitors are
Group 4 Securicor plc (headquartered in the U.K.), Securitas AB (Sweden), Prosegur, Compania de Seguridad, S.A. (Spain) and Garda World
Security Corporation (Canada).

We believe the primary factors in attracting and retaining customers are security expertise, service quality and price. We believe our
competitive advantages include:

•
•
•
•
•
•

brand name recognition
reputation for a high level of service and security
proprietary cash processing and information systems
high-quality insurance coverage and general financial strength
risk management capabilities
global infrastructure and customer base

We believe our cost structure is generally competitive, although certain competitors may have lower costs due to a variety of factors
including lower wages, less costly employee benefits, or less stringent security and service standards.

Although Brink’s faces competitive pricing pressure in many markets, we resist competing on price alone. We believe our high levels of
service and security differentiate us from competitors.

The availability of high-quality and reliable insurance coverage is an important factor in our ability to attract and retain customers and to
manage the risks inherent in our business. Brink’s is self-insured for much of the liability related to potential losses of cash or valuables
while such items are in our possession. However, we purchase insurance coverage for losses in excess of what we consider to be prudent
levels of self insurance. Our insurance policies cover losses from most causes, with the exception of war, nuclear risk and certain other
exclusions typical in such policies.

Insurance for security is provided by different groups of underwriters at negotiated rates and terms. Premiums fluctuate depending on market
conditions. The security loss experience of Brink’s and, to a limited extent, other armored carriers affects our premium rates.

Revenues are generated from charges per service performed or based on the value of goods transported. As a result, revenues are affected by
the level of economic activity in our various markets as well as the volume of business for specific customers. Contracts generally run for a
period of one year. Costs are incurred in preparing to service a new customer or to transition away from an existing customer. Our operating
profit is generally stronger in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter, as economic activity is stronger during this period.

Service Mark and Patents
BRINKS is a registered service mark in the U.S. and certain foreign countries. The BRINKS mark, name and related marks are of material
significance to our business. We own patents expiring in 2008 and 2009 for certain coin sorting and counting machines. We also own
patents for safes, including our integrated CompuSafe(cid:1) service, that expire between 2015 and 2018. These patents provide important
advantages to Brink’s. However, Brink’s operations are not dependent on the existence of these patents.

We have entered into certain agreements to license the Brink’s and the Brink’s Home Security names. Examples include licenses to
distributors of security products (padlocks, door hardware, etc.) offered for sale to consumers through major retail chains.

Government Regulation
Our U.S. operations are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Transportation with respect to safety of operations, equipment and
financial responsibility. Intrastate operations in the U.S. are subject to state regulation. Intraprovince operations in Canada are subject to
federal and provincial regulations. Brink’s International operations are regulated to varying degrees by the countries in which they operate.

Employee Relations
At December 31, 2007, Brink’s and its subsidiaries had approximately 53,900 employees, including 11,500 employees in North America (of
whom 1,800 were classified as part-time employees) and 42,400 employees outside North America. At December 31, 2007, Brink’s was a
party to 11 collective bargaining agreements in North America with various local unions covering approximately 2,200 employees, almost all
of whom are employees in Canada and members of unions affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Two agreements will
expire in 2008 and are expected to be renegotiated. The remaining agreements have various expiration dates after 2008 and extending
through 2011. Outside of North America, approximately 63% of branch employees are members of labor or employee organizations. We
believe our employee relations are satisfactory.

Brink’s Home Security
Executive Summary
Brink’s Home Security (“BHS”) markets, installs, services and monitors security alarm systems for approximately 1.2 million customers
throughout North America, covering more than 250 metropolitan areas in all 50 states and two Canadian provinces. Based on revenues, we
believe BHS is the second largest provider of security alarm monitoring services for residential and commercial properties in North America.
Our primary customers are residents of single-family homes, which comprise more than 90% of our subscriber base. New home construction
is a relatively small market for BHS, accounting for approximately 7% of new subscribers in 2007 and approximately 6% of our total
customer base. Our small but growing presence in the commercial market includes more than 58,000 business customers, about 5% of our
total customer base.

In 2007, BHS reported operating profit of $114 million on revenues of $484 million, resulting in an operating profit margin of 24%. At the
end of 2007, our monthly recurring revenue (“MRR”) was $37.2 million. See reconciliation of non-GAAP measure on page 40.

General
BHS monitors signals originating from our alarm systems, which can be designed to detect intrusion, fire (heat and smoke), medical and
environmental conditions. A typical BHS security system consists of sensors (both hardwired and wireless) and other devices that are
installed at a subscriber's home or commercial location. When an alarm is triggered, a signal is sent to an operator at one of our two
monitoring stations. Signals can be originated over standard telephone lines, Digital Subscriber Lines (“DSL”), wireless services, fiber
telephony, and Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”). Wireless devices can serve as the primary method of alarm communication or as a
backup to land-line telephone services.

Monitoring services and a large portion of maintenance services are generally governed by three-year contracts with automatic renewal
provisions on an annual basis after the initial term has expired. More than 50% of new customers purchase extended service protection that
covers most repair costs.

For the last several years, BHS’ average up-front cash investment per installation, including amounts expensed and capitalized, has ranged
between $1,250 and $1,450. This amount excludes customer down payments, which generally range between $280 and $340 per site.
Including these payments, our net cost per new installation in 2007 was approximately $1,100. Our cash break-even point per site is reached
in less than 4 years after installation.

Monitoring Facilities
Our monitoring facilities are located in Irving, Texas, and Knoxville, Tennessee. Both facilities hold Underwriters’ Laboratories (“UL”)
listings as protective signaling services stations. UL specifications for monitoring centers cover building integrity, back-up computer and
power systems, staffing and standard operating procedures. Many jurisdictions have laws requiring that security alarms for certain buildings
be monitored by UL-listed facilities. In addition, a UL listing is required by insurers of certain commercial customers as a condition of
coverage.

Our monitoring facilities operate 24 hours a day on a year-round basis. The facilities employ communications and computer systems that
route incoming alarm signals to the next available operator in either facility. Operators use a customized computer system to determine the
nature of the alarm signal and to identify the customer by name and location. Our system automatically processes non-emergency
administrative signals, which can be generated by a variety of conditions including test signals, low batteries, and the intentional or
unintentional arming and disarming of sites by customers. Depending upon the type of service specified by the customer contract, operators
respond to emergency-related alarms by calling the customer by phone and relaying information to local fire or police departments. Other
actions may be taken as appropriate.

In the event of an emergency at one of our two monitoring facilities (i.e., fire, tornado, major interruption in telephone or computer service,
or any other event affecting the functionality of the facility), all monitoring operations can be absorbed by the other facility. If additional
operators are required in an emergency situation, employees assigned to other departments at each facility are cross-trained to handle
monitoring signals.

Marketing and Sales
BHS markets its alarm systems primarily through television, direct mail, yellow pages and internet advertising, alliances with other service
companies, inbound telemarketing and field sales employees. Our “direct response” marketing efforts are designed to direct telephone calls
and internet traffic into our centralized inbound telemarketing sales group. Sales are closed by this group or by field personnel at on-site
consultations with prospective customers.

Branch Operations
Most of our security systems are installed and serviced by BHS technicians. Subcontractors are occasionally used in some markets if
demand exceeds internal staffing levels. Each branch provides sales, installation and service support for a market area defined by specific
zip codes.

Our technical staff operates in 68 branch locations, which also provide space for the field sales force. Branch offices are staffed to handle a
steady flow of sales opportunities, installations and service calls. We coordinate staffing of sales and technical personnel at individual
branch locations, based on near-term activity forecasts for each market.

BHS does not manufacture the equipment used in its security systems. Equipment is purchased from a limited number of suppliers and
distributors. We maintain minimal inventories of equipment at each branch office. Certain key items are maintained as safety stock by
third-party distributors to cover minor supply chain disruptions. We do not anticipate any major interruptions in our supply chain.

Dealers
To expand geographic coverage and leverage national advertising, BHS has an authorized dealer program. In 2007, the dealer program
accounted for 20% of new customer installations and 11% of the subscriber base. At year-end, approximately 150 dealers covering all 50
states were authorized to participate in the program. Dealers install equipment and initiate service for both residential and commercial
customers. All BHS dealers are required to install the same type of equipment installed by our branches and are required to adhere to the
same quality standards.

BHS purchases security system installations and related monitoring contracts from its dealers. We conduct thorough due diligence on each
dealer to ensure reliability and consistently high-quality installations. Subscribers secured by our dealers are geographically diversified and
are primarily single-family homeowners. Approximately 6% of 2007 dealer installations were in commercial businesses.

BHS typically has a right of first refusal to purchase sites and related customer relationships sold by authorized dealers. Subscriber contracts
are typically three years in duration and generally have automatic renewal provisions. If a contract is canceled during an initial guarantee
period, the dealer must compensate BHS for the lost revenue stream by either replacing the site and contract or by refunding the purchase
price. To help ensure the dealers’ obligations, we typically withhold a portion of the purchase price for each site and contract that we
purchase.

We provide dealers with a full range of services designed to assist them in all aspects of their business including forwarding sales
opportunities, sales training, detailed weekly account summaries, sales support materials, and discounts on security system hardware and
installation supplies purchased through our third-party distributor. We also provide comprehensive on-line account access.

Brink’s Home Technologies
To supplement our branch operations and dealer programs, we also obtain residential subscribers through our Brink's Home Technologies
(“BHT”) division. Working directly with major national, regional and local home builders, BHT markets and installs residential security
systems, as well as a variety of low-voltage security, home networking, communications and entertainment options, into homes under
construction. BHT currently does business with all of the top 10 and 15 of the top 20 residential home builders in the U.S.

The BHT activation process consists of three phases:

Early construction wiring for security systems and potential non-security-low voltage applications in certain markets.
Installation of systems equipment near the end of construction.

•
•
• Activation of security service contracts.

In 2007, BHT accounted for 7% of new BHS subscribers. BHT operations are currently conducted in 22 markets located in most regions of
the U.S.

Brink’s Business Security (Commercial)
BHS also installs and monitors commercial security systems. Expansion of our commercial customer base is a significant growth
opportunity. In addition to the typical intrusion detection offerings, products and services currently offered to commercial customers include
installation of non-monitored closed circuit television (“CCTV”) systems, enhanced event reporting and in selected markets where applicable
certifications and licenses have been obtained, commercial-grade fire detection systems. We are continuing to develop additional
capabilities in commercial security, including installation of access control systems. Commercial installation volume grew approximately
12% in 2007. Commercial customers represented approximately 5% of subscribers at year-end and 8% of new customer installations in
2007.

Multifamily
BHS provides monitored security to owners and managers of multifamily apartment and condominium complexes, who then offer
monitoring security service to tenants. Installations are handled by subcontractors or our branch network. At year-end, multifamily
customers represented approximately 2% of total subscribers. We are no longer actively pursuing installation growth in this market segment.

Customer Care
We strive to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction and retention by directly controlling customer and technical service. Customer care
specialists answer non-emergency telephone calls regarding service, billing and alarm activation issues. Our two monitoring centers provide
telephone and internet coverage 24 hours a day on a year-round basis. To ensure that technical service requests are handled promptly and
professionally, all requests are routed through our customer contact center. Customer care specialists help customers resolve minor service
and operating issues related to security systems. In many cases, the customer care specialist is able to remotely resolve technical issues.
When an issue is not able to be resolved by the customer contact center, our specialists schedule a field technician service appointment
during the same phone call.

BHS employees are trained to provide high-quality service through prompt handling of calls and quick resolution of most subscriber issues.
We use a customized information system that quickly and accurately provides our customer care specialists with technical and administrative
information regarding customers and their security systems, including detailed account and site history. This system enables BHS to resolve
most customer issues in one telephone call. Our emphasis on customer service results in fewer false alarms, more satisfied customers, and
longer retention rates.

Customer Retention
The annual customer disconnect rate at BHS was 7.0% in 2007, and has ranged between 6.4% and 7.2% over the last five years. Our success
in retaining customers is driven in part by our discipline in accepting new customers with generally stronger credit backgrounds, and by
providing high-quality equipment, installation, monitoring, and customer service. Additionally, in order to enhance customer service and
customer loyalty, our system control panel and keypads are designed to be user-friendly and to minimize false alarms.

Our disconnect rates are typically higher in the second and third calendar quarters of the year because of the normal increase in residential
moves during summer months. More than 50% of annual gross disconnect activity is caused by household and business relocations. Another
20% to 30% of disconnects occur for financial reasons (including accounts disconnected for non-payment).

The strength of our economic model is highly dependent on customer retention, and we believe that the reductions achieved in our annual
disconnect rate have strengthened our economic returns. We do not expect disconnects rates to increase or decline materially in the
foreseeable future.

(a) The disconnect rate is a ratio, the numerator of which is the number of customer cancellations during the period and the denominator of which is the

average number of customers during the period. The gross number of customer cancellations is reduced for customers who move from one location and
then initiate a new monitoring agreement at a new location, accounts charged back to the dealers because the customers cancelled service during the
specified contractual term, and inactive sites that are returned to active service during the period.

Industry and Competition
According to industry estimates, the market for electronic security system sales, leasing, installation, monitoring and service was
approximately $30 billion in 2006. Factors driving industry growth include heightened security awareness, demographic changes, an
increase in dual income households, and higher capital spending by businesses.

BHS competes in most major metropolitan markets in the U.S. and several markets in western Canada through branch and dealer operations.
The monitored security alarm industry has many competitors including more than 14,000 local and regional companies, the vast majority of
which generate annual revenue of less than $500,000. We believe our primary competitors with national scope include:

• ADT Security Services, Inc., a part of Tyco International, Ltd.
•
• Monitronics International, Inc.

Protection One, Inc.

BHS is generally recognized as the second largest provider (behind ADT Security Services) of monitored security services to residential and
commercial properties in North America. Our key competitive advantages include brand name recognition and service quality.

Success in this market depends on a variety of factors including company reputation, market visibility, service quality, product quality, price
and the ability to identify and solicit prospective customers. There is substantial competitive pressure on installation fees. Several
significant competitors offer installation prices that match or are lower than our prices. Other competitors charge significantly more for
installation but, in many cases, less for monitoring. Competitive pressure on monitoring and service rates is significant. We believe that the
monitoring and service rates offered by BHS are generally comparable to rates offered by other major security companies.

Government Regulation and Other Regulatory Matters
Our U.S. operations are subject to various federal, state and local consumer protection laws, licensing laws, and other laws and regulations.
Most states have licensing laws that apply specifically to the alarm industry. In certain jurisdictions, BHS must obtain licenses or permits in
order to comply with standards governing employee selection, training and business conduct.

Our business relies primarily on the use of standard wire telephone service to transmit alarm signals. Wire telephone companies, the cost of
telephone lines, and the type of equipment used in telephone line transmission are regulated by the federal and state governments. The
Federal Communications Commission and state public utilities commissions regulate the operation and use of wireless telephone and radio
frequencies.

Our advertising and sales practices are regulated by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and state consumer protection laws. In addition,
BHS is subject to certain administrative requirements and laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These laws and regulations include
restrictions on the manner in which we promote the sale of our security alarm services and require us to provide purchasers of our services
with rescission rights.

Our Canadian operations are subject to the national laws of Canada, and local laws of British Columbia and Alberta.

Some local government authorities have adopted or are considering various measures aimed at reducing false alarms. Such measures include
requiring permits for individual alarm systems; revoking such permits following a specified number of false alarms; imposing fines on alarm
customers or alarm monitoring companies for false alarms; limiting the number of times police will respond to alarms at a particular location
after a specified number of false alarms; and requiring additional verification of an alarm signal before the police response.

The alarm industry is also subject to requirements imposed by various insurance, approval, listing and standards organizations. Depending
upon the type of customer served, the type of security service provided, and the requirements of the applicable local governmental
jurisdiction, adherence to the requirements and standards of such organizations is mandatory in some instances and voluntary in others.

Employees
BHS employs approximately 3,600 people, none of whom are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe our
employee relations are satisfactory.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Former Coal Business
The Company has significant liabilities and expenses related to postretirement medical plans and black lung benefits of our former coal
operations. The Company established a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Associate trust (“VEBA”) to finance its postretirement medical
plan obligations. The Company expects to have ongoing expense and cash outflow for these liabilities. See notes 4, 17 and 21 to the
consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Brink’s Company is exposed to risk in the operation of its businesses. Some of these risks are common to all companies doing business
in the industries in which we operate and some are unique to The Brink’s Company. In addition, there are risks associated with investing in
the common stock of The Brink’s Company. These risk factors should be considered carefully when evaluating the company and its
businesses.

We may not be able to complete the tax-free stock distribution of BHS to our shareholders. Our plan is to distribute the shares of BHS (the
"spin-off") to the shareholders of The Brink's Company in the fourth quarter of 2008. The spin-off is subject to a number of conditions, and
there may be reasons why the spin-off is not able to be completed within our anticipated time frame or at all, including not receiving
appropriate assurances that the distribution will be tax free to the shareholders of The Brink’s Company. If the spin-off is not completed, or
is not completed within our anticipated time frame, the share price of The Brink’s Company could be adversely affected.

The Company has not yet determined certain significant characteristics of the contemplated spin-off of BHS to our shareholders. The
spin-off is subject to a number of conditions, including execution of appropriate inter-company agreements between the Company and BHS.
These agreements will address a number of significant matters, among other things, the allocation of assets and liabilities between the
Company and BHS and other similar matters. In particular, the Company has not yet determined whether the BRINKS brand will be shared
by BHS and the Company, or if BHS will be rebranded. The alternative branding possibilities include BHS paying royalties to The Brink’s
Company, BHS rebranding itself without using the BRINKS brand, or other possibilities. The decisions regarding the manner in which BHS
will be separated from the Company in the spin-off could affect the future results of operations of the Company and the prospective BHS
company. For example, the Company may not fully control the use of the BRINKS brand in the future, which could also affect the long-term
value of the brand, and, accordingly, the long-term value of the Company.

Completing the spin-off will require significant resources. The contemplated spin-off of BHS to our shareholders will require significant
Company resources, and the Company expects corporate expense in 2008 to be higher as a result of professional fees associated with the
spin-off. In addition, completing the spin-off will require significant attention from our management, which could divert focus from other
aspects of the Company’s business and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company has significant operations outside the United States. We currently operate in approximately 50 countries. Revenue outside
the U.S. was over 60% of total revenue in 2007. We expect revenue outside the U.S. to continue to represent a significant portion of total
revenue. Business operations outside the U.S. are subject to political, economic and other risks inherent in operating in foreign countries,
such as:

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

the difficulty of enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets through foreign legal systems
trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations
required compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations
changes in the general political and economic conditions in the countries where we operate, particularly in emerging markets
threat of nationalization and expropriation
higher costs and risks of doing business in a number of foreign jurisdictions
limitations on the repatriation of earnings
fluctuations in equity and revenues due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates

We try to effectively manage these risks by monitoring current and anticipating future political and economic developments and adjusting
operations as appropriate. Changes in the political or economic environments in the countries in which we operate could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in highly competitive industries. We compete in industries that are subject to significant competition and pricing pressures.
Brink’s faces significant pricing pressures from competitors in most markets. BHS experiences competitive pricing pressures on installation
and monitoring rates. Because we believe we have competitive advantages such as brand name recognition and a reputation for a high level
of service and security, we resist competing on price alone. However, continued pricing pressure could impact our customer base or pricing
structure and have an adverse effect on results of operations.

Weak economies could reduce demand for our services and increase BHS’ disconnect rate. If economies weaken in regions where we
provide our Brink’s and BHS services, demand for our services may lessen. In addition, current home security customers may decide to
disconnect our services in an effort to reduce their household spending. If this happens, our revenues, operating profit and cash flow could
decline, and subscriber growth at BHS could suffer.

Brink’s earnings and cash flow could be materially affected by increased losses of customer valuables. Brink's purchases insurance
coverage for losses of customer valuables for amounts in excess of what it considers prudent deductibles and/or retentions. Insurance is
provided by different groups of underwriters at negotiated rates and terms. Coverage is available to Brink’s in major insurance markets,
although premiums charged are subject to fluctuations depending on market conditions. The loss experience of Brink’s and other armored
carriers affects premium rates charged to Brink’s. Brink’s is self-insured for losses below its coverage limits and recognizes expense up to
these limits for actual losses. Brink’s insurance policies cover losses from most causes, with the exception of war, nuclear risk and various
other exclusions typical for such policies. The availability of high-quality and reliable insurance coverage is an important factor in order for
Brink's to obtain and retain customers and to manage the risks of its business. If our losses increase, or if we are unable to obtain adequate
insurance coverage at reasonable rates, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Restructuring charges may be required in the future. There is a possibility we will take restructuring actions in one of our markets in the
future to reduce expenses if a major customer is lost or if recurring operating losses continue. These actions could result in significant
restructuring charges at these subsidiaries, including recognizing impairment charges to write down assets, and recording accruals for
employee severance and operating leases. These charges, if required, could significantly affect results of operations and cash flows.

The Company depends heavily on the availability of fuel and the ability to pass higher fuel costs to customers. Fuel prices have fluctuated
significantly in recent years. In some periods, the Company’s operating profit has been adversely affected because it is not able to
immediately fully offset the impact of higher fuel prices through increased prices or fuel surcharges. The Company does not have any long-
term fuel purchase contracts, and has not entered into any other hedging arrangements that protect against fuel price increases. Volatile fuel
prices and potential increases in fuel taxes will continue to affect the Company. A significant increase in fuel costs and an inability to pass
increases on to customers or a shortage of fuel could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

BHS may not be able to sustain the expansion of its subscriber base at recently achieved growth rates. BHS has a history of significantly
increasing its subscriber base each year as a result of growth in new installations and a relatively low number of subscriber disconnects. The
majority of our subscribers are residents of single-family households and we intend to continue to grow our subscriber base through a number
of sales channels, including relationships with new home builders. As a result, BHS’ business benefited from strong growth in the housing
market through 2005. The housing market experienced a downturn in 2006 and 2007, and a continued downturn in the housing market (new
construction and/or resale of existing houses) could have an impact on our ability to continue to maintain strong growth in the subscriber
base. In addition, our disconnect rate has been favorably affected in the past several years by the cumulative effect of improved subscriber
selection and retention processes and high-quality customer service. A substantial number of disconnects cannot be prevented, including, for
example, disconnects that occur because of customer moves. If we fail to continue to provide high-quality service or take other actions that
have improved the disconnect rates in the past, the disconnect rate could increase, and the subscriber base growth rate could suffer. Slower
growth in the subscriber base from materially lower installations and/or materially higher disconnects could adversely affect results of
operations.

The Company has significant obligations and liabilities related to its former coal operations. The Company has substantial pension and
retiree medical obligations, many of which arose during its long history of operating in the coal industry. The Company has contributed cash
to segregated trusts that pay benefits to satisfy these obligations. The Company may have to make additional contributions to fund the
obligations. The amount of these obligations is significantly impacted by factors that are not in the Company’s control, including interest
rates used to determine the present value of future payment streams, investment returns, medical inflation rates, participation rates and
changes in laws and regulations. Changes in any of these factors could have a significant effect on the amount of the Company’s obligations
and could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company also has
ongoing reclamation and remediation obligations, the future cost of which is from time to time reviewed and adjusted, as necessary. The
Company may also incur future environmental and other liabilities that are presently unknown in connection with these former operations.

BHS intends to grow new lines of business and operating margins may suffer. BHS intends to expand its presence in commercial alarm
installation and monitoring. As a result, the cost of investment in new subscribers may continue to grow faster than installations and related
revenue as BHS develops the resources needed to achieve its objectives. If BHS is unable to increase the subscriber base while incurring the
additional investment costs, BHS’ results of operations would be adversely affected.

BHS’ earnings and cash flow could be materially affected by a sudden shift in its customers’ selection of voice and data communications
services. BHS’ operating model relies on its customers’ selection and continued payment for high quality, reliable telecommunications
services. In recent years, a small but increasing number of existing customers and prospective new customers exclusively use wireless
telephone service within their homes. Although BHS monitoring service can be connected using wireless telephone service, its solution is
more expensive to the customer than its traditional product and service package that uses wire-line telecommunications. In this scenario,
customer dissatisfaction could increase, driving up BHS’ disconnect rate, as wireless service may be less reliable depending on the
performance of the wireless service provider. If there were a sudden shift to such wireless services by a significant portion of BHS’ existing
subscriber base, BHS’ results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

BHS’ earnings and cash flow could be materially affected by penalties assessed for false alarms. BHS believes its false alarm rate
compares favorably to many other companies’ rates. Some local governments impose assessments, fines, penalties and limitations on either
subscribers or the alarm companies for false alarms. A few municipalities have adopted ordinances under which both permit and alarm
dispatch fees are charged directly to the alarm companies. BHS’ alarm service contracts generally allow BHS to pass these charges on to
customers. If more local governments were to impose assessments, fines or penalties, and BHS was not able to pass the increase in costs to
its customers, the growth of BHS’ subscriber base could be adversely affected.

BHS’ earnings and cash flow could be materially affected by the refusal of police departments to automatically respond to calls from
monitored security service companies. Police departments in a limited number of U.S. cities are not required to automatically respond to
calls from monitored security service companies unless an emergency has been visually verified. BHS has offered affected customers the
option of receiving response from private guard companies, which in most cases have contracted with BHS. This increases the overall cost to
customers. If more police departments were to refuse to automatically respond to calls from monitored security service companies without
visual verification, BHS’ ability to retain subscribers could be negatively impacted and results of operations and cash flow could be
materially and adversely affected.

BHS relies on third party providers for the components of its security systems. The components for the security systems that BHS installs
are manufactured by third parties. BHS is therefore susceptible to interruptions in supply and to the receipt of components that do not meet
BHS’ high standards. BHS mitigates these risks through the selection of vendors with strong reputations for producing quality products.
However, any interruption in supply could cause delays in installations and repairs and the loss of current and potential customers. Also, if a
previously installed component were found to be defective, BHS might not be able to recover the costs associated with its repair or
replacement and the diversion of BHS’ technical force to address such an issue could affect subscriber and revenue growth.

BHS is exposed to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions, or system failure, than may be inherent in other businesses.
Substantially all of BHS’ alarm monitoring product sales or services agreements contain provisions limiting liability to customers in an
attempt to reduce this risk. However, in the event of litigation with respect to such matters, there can be no assurance that these limitations
will be enforced.

BHS carries insurance of various types, including general liability and professional liability insurance in amounts management considers
adequate and customary for the industry. Some of BHS’ insurance policies, and the laws of some states, may limit or prohibit insurance
coverage for punitive or certain other types of damages, or liability arising from gross negligence. If the Company incurs increased losses
related to employee acts or omissions, or system failure, or if the Company is unable to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable
rates, or if the Company is unable to receive reimbursements from insurance carriers, the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The Company’s business operates in regulated industries. The U.S. operations of Brink's are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department
of Transportation with respect to safety of operations and equipment and financial responsibility. Intrastate operations in the U.S. are subject
to regulation by state regulatory authorities and intraprovince operations in Canada are subject to regulation by Canadian and provincial
regulatory authorities. Brink's International operations are regulated to varying degrees by the countries in which they operate.

BHS and its employees are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local consumer protection, licensing and other laws and regulations.
Most states in which BHS operates have licensing laws directed specifically toward the monitored security services industry. BHS' business
relies heavily upon wireline telephone service to communicate signals. Wireline telephone companies are currently regulated by both the
federal and state governments. BHS' Canadian operation is subject to the laws of Canada, British Columbia and Alberta.

Changes in laws or regulations could require the Company to change the way it operates, which could increase costs or otherwise disrupt
operations. In addition, failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of the
Company’s operating permits and licenses. If laws and regulations were to change or the Company failed to comply, the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The Company could be materially affected by an unfavorable outcome related to non-payment of value-added taxes and custom duties.
During 2004, the Company determined that one of its non-U.S. Brink's business units had not paid foreign customs duties and value-added
taxes with respect to the importation of various goods and services. The Company has been advised that there could be civil and criminal
penalties asserted for the non-payment of these customs duties and value-added taxes. To date no penalties have been asserted. The
Company believes that the range of reasonably possible losses related to customs duties penalties is between $0 and approximately $35
million. These penalties could be asserted at any time. The business unit has discussed this matter with the appropriate government
authorities, provided an accounting of unpaid customs duties and taxes and made payments covering its calculated unpaid value added taxes.
An adverse outcome in this matter could materially affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company has retained obligations from the sale of BAX Global. In January 2006 the Company sold BAX Global. The Company
retained some of the obligations related to these operations, primarily for taxes owed prior to the date of sale and for any amounts paid related
to one pending litigation matter for which losses could be between $0 and $11 million at the date of sale. In addition, the Company provided
indemnification customary for these sorts of transactions. Future unfavorable developments related to these matters could require the
Company to record additional expenses or make cash payments in excess of recorded liabilities. The occurrence of these events could have a
material adverse affect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company is subject to covenants for credit facilities. The Company has credit facilities with financial covenants, including a limit on
the ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, limits on the ability to pledge assets, limits on the use of
proceeds of asset sales and minimum coverage of interest costs. Although the Company believes none of these covenants are presently
restrictive to operations, the ability to meet the financial covenants can be affected by changes in the Company’s results of operations or
financial condition. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will meet these covenants. A breach of any of these covenants could
result in a default under existing credit facilities. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under any of our credit facilities, the lenders
could cause amounts outstanding to be immediately payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. The occurrence of these
events would have a significant impact on the Company’s liquidity and cash flows.

The Company’s effective income tax rate could change. The Company operates in approximately 50 countries, all of which have different
income tax laws and associated income tax rates. The Company’s effective income tax rate can be significantly affected by changes in the
mix of pretax earnings by country and the related income tax rates in those countries. In addition, the Company’s effective income tax rate is
significantly affected by its estimate of its ability to realize deferred tax assets, including those associated with net operating losses. Changes
in income tax laws, income apportionment, or estimates of the ability to realize deferred tax assets, could significantly affect the Company’s
effective income tax rate, financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Brink’s
Brink’s has property and equipment in locations throughout the world. Branch facilities generally have office space to support operations, a
vault to securely process and store valuables and a garage to house armored vehicles and serve as a vehicle terminal. Many branches have
additional space to repair and maintain vehicles.

Brink’s owns or leases armored vehicles, panel trucks and other vehicles that are primarily service vehicles. Brink’s armored vehicles are of
bullet-resistant construction and are specially designed and equipped to provide security for the crew and cargo.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately 6,500 Brink’s-owned CompuSafe(cid:1) devices located on customers’ premises, of
which 6,400 are in North America.

BHS
BHS has 67 leased field office facilities located throughout the U.S. and one leased office in Canada. BHS’ headquarters are located in
Irving, Texas. This owned facility houses many administrative and technical support personnel. Additional administrative personnel are
located in portions of two nearby buildings in office spaces that are leased for terms ending in 2010 and 2012. The primary Irving facility
also serves as one of two central monitoring facilities. The second owned monitoring and service center is located near Knoxville,
Tennessee.

BHS leases approximately 1,600 vehicles which are used in the process of installing and servicing its security systems.

BHS retains ownership of most of the approximately 1.2 million systems currently being monitored. When a customer cancels monitoring
services, BHS typically disables the system. In a limited number of cases, BHS removes the equipment. When a customer cancels
monitoring services because of an impending household move or business relocation, the retention of the BHS system at the site facilitates
the marketing of monitoring services to the subsequent homeowner or business.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations reflects the operations and gains and losses on disposal of the Company’s former coal, natural gas, timber, gold,
BAX Global and Brink’s United Kingdom domestic cash handling operations. Ongoing expenses related to former operations primarily consist of
postretirement and other employee benefits associated with Company-sponsored pension plans and black lung obligations, and administrative and legal
expenses to oversee retained benefit obligations. See notes 4, 17 and 21 to the consolidated financial statements. Expenses related to Company-sponsored
pension and postretirement benefit obligations, black lung obligations and related administrative costs are recorded as a component of continuing operations
after the respective disposal dates. Adjustments to contingent liabilities are recorded within discontinued operations.

(b) The Company’s 2005 results of operations includes a noncash after-tax charge of $5.4 million or $0.09 per diluted share to reflect the cumulative effect of a

change in accounting principle pursuant to the adoption of FIN 47.

OPERATIONS

The Brink’s Company

Executive Overview
The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) conducts business in the security industry in two segments:

•

Brink’s, Incorporated (“Brink’s”)

•

Brink’s Home Security, Inc. (“BHS”)

Brink’s offers transportation and logistics management services for
cash and valuables throughout the world. These services include
armored car transportation, automated teller machine (“ATM”)
replenishment and servicing, currency deposit processing and cash
management services including cash logistics services (“Cash
Logistics”), deploying and servicing safes and safe control devices,
including its patented CompuSafe® service, coin sorting and
wrapping, integrated check and cash processing services (“Virtual
Vault Services”), arranging the secure transportation of valuables
(“Global Services”), transporting, storing and destroying sensitive
information (“Secure Data Solutions”) and guarding services,
including airport security.

BHS offers monitored security services in North America for owner-
occupied, single-family residences and, to a lesser extent, commercial
properties. BHS typically installs and owns the on-site security
systems and charges fees to monitor and service the systems.

Management’s approach to each of its security businesses is similar, with a focus on quality service, the brand, risk management and a patient
and disciplined approach to markets. Management believes each business is a premium provider of services in the markets that it serves. The
Company’s marketing and sales efforts are enhanced by its brands so the Company seeks to protect their value. Since the Company’s services
focus on handling, transporting, protecting, and managing valuables, its employees strive to understand and manage risk. Overlaying
management’s approach is an understanding that the Company must be disciplined and patient enough to charge fair prices that reflect the
value provided, the risk assumed and the need for an adequate return for the Company’s investors.

The business environments in which the Company’s security businesses operate around the world are constantly changing. Management must
continually adapt to changes in the competitive landscapes, economies in different parts of the world and even each customer’s level of
business. To be successful, management must be able to balance requirements of local laws and regulations, risk, and the effects of changing
demand on the utilization of its resources. As a result, the Company operates largely on a decentralized basis so local management can adjust
operations to its unique circumstances.

For the same reasons that the Company operates on a decentralized basis, short-term forecasts of performance are difficult to make with
precision. As a result, the Company does not provide detailed earnings forecasts.

The Company measures financial performance on a long-term basis. The key financial factors on which it focuses are:

• Creation of value through solid returns on capital
• Growth in revenues and earnings
• Generation of cash flow

These and similar measures are critical components of the Company’s incentive compensation programs and performance evaluations.

On January 31, 2006, the Company sold BAX Global Inc. (“BAX Global”), a wholly owned freight transportation subsidiary, for
approximately $1 billion in cash and recorded a pretax gain of approximately $587 million. On August 5, 2007, the Company sold Brink’s
United Kingdom domestic cash handling operations. Both of these operations have been reported within discontinued operations for all periods
presented. See “Discontinued Operations” for a description of the transactions and see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a description of
how the Company used the proceeds.

The Company has significant liabilities associated with its former coal operations. Since these liabilities generate ongoing expenses and
require significant cash outflows, the Company considers liability management and funding to be an important activity.

Information about the Company’s liabilities related to its former businesses is contained in a number of sections of this report, including:

• Retained Liabilities and Assets of Former Operations
• Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Disclosures in the first section show five-year projections for estimated ongoing payments and expense associated with the retained obligations
of the former operations. The second section discusses critical estimates used and provides a sensitivity analysis for these estimates.

The income items in the above table are reported after tax.

Continuing Operations
2007
Income from continuing operations was higher in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to a $64.5 million improvement in operating profit
driven by increases at Brink’s and BHS and lower expenses related to former operations. Brink’s operating profit increased primarily due to
growth in Latin America, improved performance in Europe and lower safety and security costs worldwide. BHS operating profit improved due
primarily to subscriber growth. Interest expense decreased in 2007 as a result of reduced debt levels. The effective tax rate for 2007 was
approximately 1.3 percentage points lower than 2006 largely because of a change in the mix of income and losses by jurisdiction.

The Company’s income from continuing operations in 2008 could be adversely affected by the U.S. economy as well as other economies
around the world, if one or more were to significantly decline.

2006
Income from continuing operations was higher in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to an $86.5 million improvement in operating profit
driven by increases at Brink’s and BHS and lower expenses related to former operations. This improvement was partially offset by an $11.1
million increase ($7.3 million at Corporate, $2.6 million at Brink’s and $1.2 million at BHS) in compensation charges for stock options as a
result of adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123(R), Share Based Payment, on January 1, 2006. Similar charges
were not recorded in 2005. Brink’s operating profit increased primarily due to growth in Latin America and France, lower restructuring costs
in international operations, and lower U.S. pension costs. BHS operating profit improved due primarily to subscriber growth. Interest expense
decreased in 2006 as a result of reduced debt levels. The effective tax rate for 2006 was approximately 4.4 percentage points lower than 2005
as a result of a lower level of charges for valuation allowances, as further described below.

Business Segments
Brink’s and BHS reported improved operating profit in both 2007 and 2006 over the prior-year periods.

Brink’s. Revenues in 2007 increased from 2006 primarily due to growth in existing operations with particularly strong growth in Latin
America and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”). Exchange rate fluctuations favorably impacted reported revenues in 2007 compared
to 2006. Operating profit was higher in 2007 compared to 2006, largely due to stronger performance in EMEA and Latin America and lower
safety and security costs. In addition, operating profit benefited from the weaker U.S. dollar.

Revenues in 2006 increased from 2005 primarily due to growth in existing operations with particularly strong growth in Latin America and
EMEA. Exchange rate fluctuations had little impact on revenues in 2006 compared to 2005. Operating profit was higher in 2006 versus 2005,
largely due to strong performance in Latin America, lower pension and other benefits expenses in the U.S., and lower costs and improved
margins in EMEA.

BHS. BHS reported 10% growth in revenues in 2007 and 12% in 2006. BHS experienced strong growth in operating profit in 2007 (14%) and
2006 (15%) resulting primarily from subscriber growth and improved efficiency from the providing of recurring services to a larger subscriber
base. The average number of subscribers increased 10% both in 2007 over 2006 and in 2006 over 2005. Growth in operating profit in 2007
over 2006 was weaker than in 2006 over 2005 primarily as a result of selling and advertising expenses increasing more rapidly than revenues.
In addition, higher legal settlement expenses were offset by insurance gains related to Hurricane Katrina.

Former Operations
Expenses related to former operations in 2007 were $12.6 million lower than 2006 due to lower pension and postretirement medical expenses.

Expenses related to former operations in 2006 were $12.7 million lower than 2005 due to earnings on the $225 million VEBA contribution
made in the first quarter of 2006. The contribution was funded by proceeds from the sale of BAX Global.

Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 37.4% in 2007, 38.7% in 2006 and 43.1% in 2005. The effective
tax rate varied from statutory rates in these periods primarily due to changes in valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and state income
taxes. The effective tax rate in 2005 was unusually high due to $10 million in new valuation allowances, a higher amount of pretax losses
incurred in countries for which the Company does not recognize a tax benefit from losses, and the recording of $3 million in additional tax on
the repatriation of $49 million in dividends under the American Jobs Creation Act.

The Company currently estimates its 2008 effective tax rate will approximate 37% to 39%. The actual 2008 tax rate could be materially
different from the Company’s estimate.

Discontinued Operations
On January 31, 2006, the Company sold BAX Global for approximately $1 billion in cash resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $587
million. On August 5, 2007, the Company sold Brink’s United Kingdom domestic cash handling operations. Both of these operations have
been reported within discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The Company has accrued for significant contingencies related to benefits for former coal employees. Revisions to estimated amounts related
to these contingent liabilities, including those related to obligations under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 (“the Health
Benefit Act”), are recorded in discontinued operations.

In 2006, the Company recognized:

•

a $148.3 million pretax benefit primarily as a result of a 2006 federal law amending the Health Benefit Act that reduced the
Company’s obligation for healthcare and death benefits for former coal miners, and
a $9.9 million pretax benefit on the settlement of liabilities related to two coal industry multi-employer pension plans.

In 2005, the Company recognized $15.1 million of pretax income related to a final settlement of claims for refund of Federal Black Lung
Excise Tax amounts.

Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle
On December 31, 2005, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Interpretation 47, Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (“FIN 47”). As a result, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle of $5.4 million, net of tax, for conditional asset retirement obligations primarily associated with leased facilities. See note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements.

2007
Revenues in 2007 were 15% higher than 2006 primarily due to the effects of growth in existing operations and favorable changes in foreign
currency exchanges rates at Brink’s and continuing growth in the subscriber base at BHS. The Company’s operating profit increased by 31%
in 2007 versus 2006 due to significant operating profit growth in Latin America at Brink’s, continued subscriber growth at BHS and lower
costs related to former operations.

2006
Revenues in 2006 were 11% higher than 2005 primarily due to the effects of growth in existing operations at Brink’s and continuing growth in
the subscriber base of BHS. The Company’s operating profit increased by 70% in 2006 versus 2005 due to improved performance and lower
restructuring charges at Brink’s and continued subscriber growth at BHS. These increases were partially offset by higher corporate expenses
due to $7.3 million of share-based compensation costs recorded as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006.

The Company froze the U.S. defined benefit pension plans effective December 31, 2005, and enhanced benefits for its U.S. defined
contribution 401(k) plan effective January 1, 2006. As a result, net expenses were lower in 2006 as follows:

• Brink’s – approximately $11.4 million
• BHS – approximately $2.5 million
• Corporate – approximately $1.9 million

Brink’s, Incorporated

Executive Overview
Brink’s provides services related to cash and other valuables to the financial community, retailers and other businesses. These services include
securely transporting and handling valuable assets, managing and processing currency and deposits and preparing and transmitting financial
information.

The Company believes that Brink’s has significant competitive advantages including:

•
•
•
•
•
•

brand name recognition
reputation for high-quality service
proprietary cash processing and information systems
high-quality insurance coverage and general financial strength
risk management capabilities
the ability to serve a customer in multiple markets through a global network

Because of Brink’s emphasis on managing the risks inherent in handling cash and valuables and the high level of service provided, Brink’s
believes it spends more than its competitors on training and retaining people and on the facilities and processes needed to provide quality
services to customers.

As a result of management’s emphasis on high-quality services and risk management, Brink’s focuses its marketing and selling efforts on
customers who appreciate the value and breadth of the services delivered and the information capabilities, risk management and financial
strength underlying the Brink’s approach to business.

In order to earn an adequate return on capital employed in the business, Brink’s focuses on the effective and efficient use of its resources and
the adequacy of pricing. First, Brink’s attempts to maximize the amount of business which flows through its branches, vehicles and systems in
order to obtain the lowest costs possible without compromising safety, security or service. Second, due to its higher costs of people and
processes, Brink’s generally charges higher prices than competitors that may not provide the same level of service and risk management. The
Company believes that Brink’s operations are capable of generating operating profit margins at or above 8% in 2008. The Company has
established a goal to boost operating margins to 10% by the end of 2010.

The industries to which Brink’s provides services have been consolidating. As a result, the strength of customers in these industries has been
increasing. Customers are seeking suppliers, such as Brink’s, with broad geographic solutions, sophisticated outsourcing capabilities and
financial strength.

Operationally, Brink’s performance may vary from period to period. Since revenues are generated from charges per service performed or
based on the value of goods transported, revenues can be affected by both the level of activity in economies and the volume of business for
specific customers. As contracts generally run for one or more years, there are costs which must be incurred to prepare to service a new
customer or to transition away from one. Brink’s also periodically incurs costs to reduce operations when volumes decline, including costs to
reduce the number of employees and close or consolidate branch and administrative facilities. In addition, safety and security costs can vary
from period to period depending on Company and industry performance and cost of insurance coverage.

Cash Logistics is a fully integrated solution that proactively manages the supply chain of cash from point-of-sale through deposit at a bank.
The process includes cashier balancing and reporting, deposit processing and consolidation, and electronic information exchange. Retail
customers use Brink’s Cash Logistics services to count and reconcile coins and currency in a Brink’s secure environment, to prepare bank
deposit information and to replenish retail locations’ coins and currency in proper denominations.

Because Cash Logistics involves a higher level of service and more complex activities, customers are willing to pay prices which result in
higher margins. The ability to offer Cash Logistics to customers also differentiates Brink’s from many of its competitors. As a result,
management is committed and focused on continuing to grow Cash Logistics revenue. Revenues from Cash Logistics, including coin and note
processing, were $434.3 million for 2007, $373.0 million for 2006 and $333.9 million for 2005.

Brink’s revenues and related operating profit are generally higher in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter, because of
the generally increased economic activity associated with the holiday season. As a result, margins are typically lower in the first half than in
the second half of the year.

2007
Overview
Revenues at Brink’s were 16% higher in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily as a result of a combination of the effects of Organic Revenue
Growth, as defined later, and favorable changes in currency exchange rates. Operating profit in 2007 was higher than 2006 largely as a result
of strong performance in Latin America, particularly in Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia, improved performance in Europe and lower safety
and security costs.

Supplemental Revenue Analysis
The following table and the similar table for 2006 (included in the 2006 Overview) provide supplemental information related to Organic
Revenue Growth which is not required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company defines Organic Revenue
Growth as the change in revenue from the prior year due to factors such as changes in prices for products and services (including the effect of
fuel surcharges), changes in business volumes and changes in product mix. Estimates of changes due to fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates and the effects of new acquisitions are excluded from Organic Revenue Growth.

The supplemental Organic Revenue Growth information presented is non-GAAP financial information that management uses to evaluate
results of existing operations without the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and currency exchange rates. The Company believes that this
information may help investors evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations. The limitation of this measure is that the effects of
acquisitions, dispositions and changes in values of foreign currencies cannot be completely separated from changes in prices (including prices
increased due to inflation) and volume of the base business. This supplemental non-GAAP information does not affect net income or any other
reported amounts. This supplemental non-GAAP information should be viewed in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated statements of
operations.

Revenue growth rates for operations outside the U.S. include the effect of changes in currency exchange rates. On occasion in this report, the
change in revenue versus the prior year has been disclosed using constant currency exchange rates in order to provide information about growth
rates without the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. Growth at constant-currency exchange rates equates to growth as
measured in local currency. This measurement of growth using constant-currency exchange rates is higher than growth computed using actual
currency exchange rates when the U.S. dollar is strengthening and lower when the U.S. dollar is weakening. Changes in currency exchange
rates increased segment operating profit by $9 million for 2007 compared to 2006, and the impact for 2006 compared to 2005 was not
significant.

North America
Revenues increased in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily as the result of improvements in all service lines, except U.S. Global Services.
Operating profit in 2007 was higher than 2006 as increased operating profit in Canada on higher revenues was partially offset by lower
operating profit in the U.S. as a result of increased expenses for sales and marketing, and a lower operating profit contribution from U.S. Global
Services operations. Operating profit in 2007 included $1.0 million of other operating income in the U.S. for final settlement of business
interruption claims related to Hurricane Katrina.

International
Revenues increased in 2007 over 2006 in all regions except for Asia-Pacific. Increased revenues in EMEA and Latin America were primarily
the result of Organic Revenue Growth and favorable changes in currency exchange rates. Revenue decreased in Asia-Pacific primarily due to
the loss of a major customer in Australia during the second quarter of 2006. International operating profit in 2007 was higher due to the effects
of strong volumes in Latin America.

EMEA. Revenues increased to $1,191.5 million in 2007 from $1,003.1 million in 2006, an increase of $188.4 million or 19% (9% on a
constant currency basis) largely as a result of Organic Revenue Growth and favorable changes in currency exchange rates.

Operating profit increased 24% in 2007 compared to 2006 due to improved results in several countries, partially offset by $2.1 million of
impairment charges recorded on long-lived assets and $2.4 million of restructuring charges.

The Company is highly focused on improving pricing and performance in EMEA and expects to continue to see operating margin
improvements in 2008. If operating margins do not improve in the near term, the Company may decide to take actions to improve long-term
performance. Restructuring charges may result from these decisions and could lower margins in 2008.

Latin America. Revenues increased to $594.2 million in 2007 from $454.2 million in 2006, an increase of 31% (24% on a constant currency
basis). This increase was due primarily to price increases in economies with relatively higher levels of inflation and higher volumes. Increases
in volume were a reflection of the overall improvement in Latin American economies. Operating profit in 2007 was 38% higher than in 2006
due to the above-mentioned price and volume increases, and cost reduction and productivity improvements across the region.

Venezuela changed its national currency from the bolivar to the bolivar fuerte on January 1, 2008, and Brink’s performed additional cash
handling services in late 2007 to assist in the conversion. Brink’s expects increased revenue in Venezuela during the first quarter of 2008
related to these services. Due to the temporary increase in volume associated with the conversion, there is an increased risk of operational
issues. The Company increased resources, training and established special procedures to mitigate the risk.

Asia-Pacific. Revenues decreased to $62.6 million in 2007 from $67.0 million in 2006, a decrease of 7% (9% on a constant currency basis).
This decrease was primarily due to the loss of Australia’s largest customer during the second quarter of 2006, partially offset by stronger
performance in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.

The Company restructured the Australian operation in 2006 after the loss of the customer and recorded charges of $4.6 million. The charges
principally related to employee severance payments and lease obligations for closed branches. Operating profit in 2007 was slightly lower than
2006, excluding the restructuring charges.

2006
Overview
Revenues at Brink’s were 11% higher in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily as a result of a combination of the effects of Organic Revenue
Growth and acquisitions of new operations. Operating profit in 2006 was higher than 2005 largely as a result of:

•
•
•

strong performance in Latin America, particularly in Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia,
improved margins in the U.S. on lower pension and other benefits expenses, and
lower costs in EMEA including restructuring and severance expenses and improved margins in some operations, particularly France.

North America
Revenues increased in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily as the result of increased volumes in armored transportation, Global Services and
Cash Logistics. Operating profit in 2006 was higher than 2005, partially as a result of higher revenues, but primarily as a result of lower
expenses related to pensions and other employee benefits in the U.S.

Pension expense was $17.3 million lower during 2006 as a result of the Company’s decision to freeze U.S. defined benefit pension plan
benefits at December 31, 2005. This decrease was partially offset by a $5.9 million increase in the expense associated with the U.S. defined
contribution plans in 2006 as these benefits were enhanced effective January 1, 2006.

International
Revenues increased in 2006 over 2005 in all regions except for Asia-Pacific. Increased revenue in EMEA was primarily the result of Organic
Revenue Growth and acquisitions. Revenue increases in Latin America were primarily due to Organic Revenue Growth, including the effects
of inflation. The revenue decrease in Asia-Pacific was primarily due to the loss of a major customer in Australia during the second quarter of
2006. International operating profit in 2006 was higher due to the effects of strong volumes in EMEA and Latin America and lower
restructuring costs.

EMEA. Revenues increased to $1,003.1 million in 2006 from $908.4 million in 2005, an increase of $94.7 million or 10% (9% on a constant
currency basis) largely as a result of Organic Revenue Growth and acquisitions. In addition, 2006 revenues were affected by competitive
pressures. Brink’s acquired operations in:

• Mauritius in the second quarter of 2006
•
•

Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic (sold in January 2007) in the second quarter of 2005
Luxembourg, Scotland (sold with the United Kingdom domestic cash handling operations in 2007) and Ireland in the first quarter of
2005

These acquisitions increased revenues by approximately $36 million in 2006 over 2005 but did not have a significant impact on operating
profit.

Operating profit increased approximately $23 million in 2006 compared to 2005 due to:

•

lower restructuring and severance expenses which had been primarily recorded in Belgium and the Netherlands in 2005. The actions
leading to such charges in 2005 improved operating profit in 2006
improved operations in France

Latin America. Revenues increased to $454.2 million in 2006 from $355.1 million in 2005, an increase of 28% (26% on a constant currency
basis). This increase was due primarily to price increases in economies with relatively higher levels of inflation and higher volumes,
particularly in Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and Chile. The increase in volumes was a reflection of the overall improvement in
Latin American economies.

Operating profit in 2006 was 67% higher than 2005 due to the above-mentioned volume increases, and cost reduction and productivity
improvements across the region. The increase in operating profit in the region was also bolstered by pricing improvement in Brazil.

Asia-Pacific. Revenues decreased to $67.0 million in 2006 from $71.6 million in 2005, a decrease of 6% (6% on a constant currency basis).
This decrease was primarily due to the loss of a major customer in Australia, partially offset by stronger performance of the Global Service
operations in Hong Kong and Japan. The Company took actions to restructure the Australian operation in 2006 and recorded charges of $4.6
million. The charges principally related to paying or accruing employee severance payments and lease obligations for closed branches.
Excluding the restructuring charges, operating profit in 2006 was about the same as 2005.

Brink’s Home Security

Executive Overview
BHS has reported strong growth in revenues and operating profit for several years due to its ability to attract and retain customers through
brand reputation and quality service while operating as efficiently as possible consistent with the desired level of service.

In order to increase efficiency and effectiveness, BHS focuses on controlling initial marketing and installation costs by matching sales
representative staffing levels with the number of sales opportunities and the size of the technician workforce with available installation volume.
BHS then strives to keep customer service and monitoring costs low without detracting from high-quality service levels.

The Company believes customer retention is driven by disciplined customer selection practices and high customer service levels. In order to
obtain customers who are less likely to disconnect, the Company seeks to attract customers with solid credit scores and the willingness to pay
reasonable up-front fees. Once there is agreement to install an alarm system, the Company provides a high-quality installation followed by
continuing high-quality customer service and alarm monitoring. BHS believes its disconnect rate benefits from consistently following this
strategy.

The Company believes that the performance of the U.S. economy may affect the performance of BHS. However, the Company believes this
effect is not as significant as it is for industries with close ties to national economic performance. Since more household moves take place
during the second and third quarters of each year, the disconnect rate and related expenses are typically higher in those quarters than in the first
and fourth quarters.

Reflects operating profit generated from the existing subscriber base including the amortization of deferred revenues.
Primarily marketing and selling expenses, net of the deferral of subscriber acquisition costs (primarily a portion of sales commissions) incurred in the
acquisition of new subscribers.
This measure is reconciled below under the caption “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures – Monthly Recurring Revenues.”
Includes amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs.
Includes amortization of deferred revenue related to active subscriber accounts as well as recognition of deferred revenue related to subscriber accounts
that disconnect.
Other capital expenditures include the construction costs and equipment purchased for the Knoxville, Tennessee, facility ($6.1 million in 2006 and $7.4
million in 2005), which became operational in early 2006. Other capital expenditures also include $10.2 million in 2005 for the purchase of BHS’s
headquarters in Irving, Texas, which was formerly leased.

Overview
Operating profit comprises recurring services minus the cost of the investment in new subscribers. Recurring services reflect the monthly
monitoring and service earnings generated from the existing subscriber base, including the amortization of deferred revenues. Non cash
impairment charges from subscriber disconnects, and depreciation and amortization expenses, including the amortization of deferred subscriber
acquisition costs, are also charged to recurring services. Operating profits from recurring services are affected by the size of the subscriber
base, the amount of operational costs including depreciation, the level of subscriber disconnect activity and changes in the average monthly
monitoring fee per subscriber.

Investment in new subscribers is the net expense (primarily marketing and selling expenses) incurred to add to the subscriber base every year.
The amount of the investment in new subscribers charged to income may be influenced by several factors, including the growth rate of new
subscriber installations and the level of costs incurred to attract new subscribers. As a result, increases in the rate of investment (the addition of
new subscribers) may have a negative effect on current operating profit but a positive impact on long-term operating profit, cash flow and
economic value.

Capital expenditures are primarily for the equipment, labor and overhead costs associated with system installations for new subscribers.

Installation growth slowed to 3% in 2007, as compared to 5% in 2006 and double-digit growth in prior years. Installation growth is primarily
the result of increased traditional branch installation volume as well as increased installations through the growing dealer network. Installation
growth was hampered in 2007 and 2006 due to sluggish real estate activity in the U.S. Despite slower installation growth rates in 2007 and
2006 as compared to historical levels, the average number of subscribers increased 10% during the year. This is because the number of
installations (180,800 in 2007) continued to substantially exceed the number of disconnects (81,800 in 2007).

The annualized disconnect rate for 2007 increased to 7.0% compared to 6.4% in 2006. The increase in the disconnect rate in 2007 over 2006
primarily resulted from expiring multi-family housing agreements (0.4% of the 2007 disconnect rate) and technical adjustments during
quarterly reconciliations (approximately 0.2% of the 2007 disconnect rate). In 2005 the annualized disconnect rate was 6.7% excluding the
effects of Hurricane Katrina. BHS has maintained a low disconnect rate in recent years by improving subscriber selection and retention
processes. Household moves are a major driver of disconnects. The disconnect rate may not materially improve in the future since some
disconnects are beyond the Company’s control, including customers moving and canceling service.

BHS has observed a slowing in the rate of household moves in many regions of the country throughout most of 2007 and 2006. Household
moves, a primary cause of disconnects, are also a significant contributor to installation volume. Moreover, further instability in the housing
and credit markets could affect BHS’ ability to collect receivables from customers.

In 2008, assuming little or no recovery in housing, BHS believes revenue and operating profit growth should continue to be at least 10% while
subscriber growth should be in the high-single-digit percentage range. BHS expects to continue to build its commercial alarm installation and
monitoring business in 2008, although difficulties are expected to continue in its BHT business as a result of lower new home production in the
U.S. BHS, however, is seeking to increase market share through expanded relationships with major home builders. As a result, the investment
in new subscribers, on a per new subscriber basis, may grow faster in the future.

2007
The 10% increase in BHS’ revenues in 2007 over 2006 was primarily due to the larger subscriber base and higher average monitoring rates,
partially offset by a decline in Brink’s Home Technologies (“BHT”) pre-wire and trim-out revenues. The larger subscriber base and higher
monitoring rates also contributed to a 12% increase in monthly recurring revenues for December 2007 as compared to December 2006. BHS
intends to continue to selectively raise monitoring prices in the future.

Operating profit increased $13.9 million in 2007 compared to 2006 due to higher profit from recurring services, which was only partially offset
by the increased cost of investment in new subscribers. Higher profit from recurring services in 2007 was primarily due to increased
monitoring and service revenues and cost efficiencies generated from the larger subscriber base. Additionally, BHS recorded $2.3 million of
insurance settlement gains in 2007 for final settlement of property damage and business interruption insurance claims related to Hurricane
Katrina, offset by a $2.5 million increase in legal settlement expenses. The insurance settlement gains are included in other operating income
in the statement of operations, and recurring services in the BHS segment operating profit table. Higher investment in new subscribers was
primarily due to increased installation volume and higher marketing expenses incurred in traditional branch operations, partially offset by lower
expenses, net of revenues, in BHT. The growth of investment in new subscribers in 2007 compared to 2006 was greater than in the prior year
comparison as a result of increased advertising.

As a result of the continuing slowdown in the new housing market, pre-wire activity for homebuilders was down more than 32% in 2007
compared to 2006, and monitored activations for completed homes decreased 18%.

2006
The 12% increase in BHS’ revenues in 2006 over 2005 was primarily due to the larger subscriber base and slightly higher average monitoring
rates. These factors also contributed to a 14% increase in monthly recurring revenues for December 2006 compared to December 2005.

Operating profit increased $12.9 million in 2006 compared to 2005 due to higher profit from recurring services, which was only slightly offset
by the increased cost of investment in new subscribers. Higher profit from recurring services in 2006 was primarily due to incremental
revenues and cost efficiencies generated from the larger subscriber base, partially offset by initial costs of starting up and integrating the
operations of the new Knoxville facility with those of the existing Irving, Texas, facility. Higher investment in new subscribers was primarily
due to increased installation volume. The growth of investment in new subscribers in 2006 compared to 2005 was less than in the prior year
comparison as a result of slower installation growth.

As a result of the sharp slowdown in the new housing market in the second half of the year, pre-wire activity for major homebuilders was down
more than 10% for the full year. However, monitored activations for completed homes increased 7%.

The construction of a second monitoring center in Knoxville, Tennessee, was completed and the facility began operations in the first quarter of
2006. The Knoxville monitoring center provides additional service capacity for the existing subscriber base, increases capacity to sustain
continued growth, and provides enhanced security and disaster recovery capabilities. As expected, operating the new facility resulted in
additional general and administrative expense during 2006.

BHS’s costs in 2006 related to retirement plans were $2.5 million lower than in the prior year primarily as a result of the Company’s decision
to freeze U.S. defined benefit pension plan benefits at December 31, 2005.

Fuel costs stabilized and copper prices declined during the second half of 2006 from the elevated levels of early 2006, although the costs of
both were generally higher throughout 2006 than during much of 2005. These higher costs have not significantly affected operating profit to
date primarily because a large portion of these costs are capitalized as part of the costs of installing new monitoring sites.

Corporate expense in 2007 was higher than 2006 as a result of professional, legal and advisory fees incurred related to initiatives by certain of
the Company’s shareholders and a proxy contest initiated by MMI Investments, L.P. (“MMI”), one of the Company’s shareholders, over board
of director candidates to be elected at the 2008 annual meeting. The Company reached an agreement with MMI on February 25, 2008,
agreeing to reimburse up to $1 million of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by MMI related to the proxy contest. In addition, the Company
expects corporate expense in 2008 to be higher as a result of professional fees associated with the spin-off of BHS and recent shareholder
initiatives. After the spin-off (expected in the fourth quarter of 2008) expenses related to the spin-off will be classified within discontinued
operations.

Corporate expense was higher in 2006 compared to 2005 due primarily to recording $7.3 million in 2006 of share-based compensation costs as
a result of adopting a new accounting standard, partially offset by lower professional and consulting fees associated with Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as the Company outsourced less work during 2006. See notes 1 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements for
further information regarding the adoption of SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment.

Former Operations

For the components of expense from former operations, see “Expenses in Continuing Operations” within “Retained Liabilities and Assets of
Former Operations.”

Retained Liabilities and Assets of Former Operations

Executive Overview
The Company has obligations which arose as the result of its long history of operating in the coal industry. Since these obligations are complex
and potentially financially volatile, management believes it is important to closely monitor and manage these obligations.

Some of these obligations (reclamation, advance minimum royalties and workers’ compensation) have shorter terms and lesser values. The
Company expects the cash payments for these obligations to be concentrated over the next few years and then end or decline significantly.

Other obligations (retiree medical benefit plan and Black Lung) have longer terms and higher estimated costs. Payments associated with these
liabilities are projected to be made over the next 60 years or more. These liabilities are largely medical benefits-related, so medical inflation is
an important consideration. These obligations cover a pool of individuals that is essentially capped since the Company no longer operates
within the coal industry. Since most of the covered individuals are, for the most part, above or near normal retirement age, these obligations
should see a steady decrease in the number of participants and beneficiaries over time.

The net present value of these obligations is a valuable tool for assessing their fair value as of a point in time. However, such values will
fluctuate over time solely due to changes in market interest rates. As a result, the Company believes the critical factor in evaluating each
obligation is the cash flow needed to satisfy it.

The Company employs a team of employees, along with third parties, to monitor and control these liabilities with a primary goal of reducing
future cash outflows. The primary activities of this group are to verify participant eligibility, design and implement plans that provide the
required benefits at the lowest cost, and verify costs charged to the plans.

The Company has established a VEBA to help manage the financial impact of the retiree medical benefit plan obligation. The VEBA is used
as a tax-efficient way to fund this obligation. A well-funded VEBA should help insulate the Company’s assets and cash flow from this
obligation. At December 31, 2007, the VEBA held investments with a fair value of $460 million. The Company elected to begin using the
assets of the VEBA to fund benefit payments beginning January 1, 2007, and paid $34 million of benefits from the VEBA in 2007.

The Company refers to its various long-term liabilities and assets related to its former operations as its “legacy” liabilities and assets.

The legacy liabilities and assets in the following table are based on a variety of estimates, including actuarial assumptions, as described in the
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. These estimated liabilities and assets will
change in the future to reflect payments made, investment returns, annual actuarial revaluations, periodic revaluations of reclamation liabilities
and other changes in estimates. Actual amounts could differ materially from the estimated amounts.

Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 and, accordingly, the Company has accrued the undiscounted estimate of its projected obligation. The Company uses
various assumptions to estimate its liability to The United Mine Workers of America (“UMWA”) Combined Fund (the “Combined Fund”) for future annual
premiums, including the number of beneficiaries in future periods and medical inflation.

(c) The Company has not yet taken deductions in its tax returns for most of the net legacy liabilities associated with the former coal business, and has recorded

a deferred tax asset for this future benefit for these temporary differences between book and tax bases.

Under the Health Benefit Act, the Company and various current and former subsidiaries are jointly and severally liable for approximately $300
million of postretirement medical and Health Benefit Act obligations in the above table. The Company is reviewing the alternative means to
lessen the impact of joint and several liabilities as allowed by the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (the “2006 Act”). The purchasers of
the Company’s BAX Global and natural resources assets have been indemnified by the Company for the related contingent liability.

VEBA contributions (a)
(a) The Company has contributed cash to a VEBA to be used to make future payments for the Company’s retiree medical plans. The Company reevaluates its
contribution policy annually and is not obligated to fund the VEBA. The Company may elect at any time to use either these assets or its cash from
operations to pay benefits for its retiree medical plans. The Company began paying benefits from the VEBA in 2007, and expects to continue paying
benefits from the VEBA in 2008 and later years. Beginning in 2008, the Company expects to contribute the Medicare subsidy in the year after it is
received to the VEBA.

(b) Future projected payments for the next five years decreased from that projected last year due to updated census data reflecting a lower plan participation

rate assumption.

from that year forward would be reduced by the expected long-term return on those contributions.

(b) Future expenses for the next five years decreased from that projected last year primarily due to a change in the discount rate during 2007.

The above projected payments and expenses are estimated based on the same assumptions used in determining the values of legacy liabilities at
December 31, 2007. The actual amount of cash payments and GAAP expense in future periods may be materially different than amounts
presented. The amounts paid or expensed in the future depend on many factors, including inflation in health care and other costs, the ultimate
impact of the 2003 Medicare reform bill, discount rates, the level of contributions to and the investment performance of the VEBA, whether the
Company’s assets or VEBA assets are used to pay benefits, the number of participants in various benefit programs, and the level of
administrative costs needed to manage the retained liabilities.

Following are comments covering the more significant legacy liabilities in the above tables. For additional information, please see note 4 to the
consolidated financial statements. Each of these liabilities and assets is affected by estimates and judgments. More information is available at
“Application of Critical Accounting Policies” later in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Company-Sponsored Retiree Medical Benefits Obligations and VEBA
The Company provides postretirement health care benefits to eligible former coal miners and their dependents. With the assistance of
actuaries, the Company annually reevaluates the estimated future cash flows, expenses and current values of the obligations. Projected
payments are expected to increase each year for the next five years as a result of medical inflation and as eligible participants attain retirement
age. This increase will be partially offset by reductions in the number of participants through mortality.

The net liability decreased to $49 million at December 31, 2007, from $112 million at December 31, 2006, primarily due to the increase in the
discount rate by 65 basis points to 6.4%.

A VEBA has been established by the Company under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(9). In general, a contribution made to the VEBA
becomes deductible for federal income tax purposes in the year in which it is made. Investment earnings within the VEBA and distributions
from the VEBA to pay designated benefits or to reimburse the Company for designated benefit payments have no federal income tax effect on
the Company. The Company can determine the timing and size of any payment from the VEBA to cover expenses of eligible participants.

The following table summarizes the activity in the VEBA for the last three years:

The VEBA’s assets are allocated among active investment managers of equities and fixed income securities. As of December 31, 2007,
approximately 69% of the VEBA assets are invested in equities and 31% are invested in fixed income securities. The VEBA’s assets are being
invested in a similar fashion to the Company’s primary U.S. pension plan and the Company has estimated the same expected long-term rate of
return of 8.75% per year.

Black Lung Obligations
The Company makes payments to former miners who have been determined to have pneumoconiosis (black lung disease). Such payments
primarily cover disability payments and condition-related medical expenses. These payments stretch out over many years and have been
discounted to a net present value. Actuarial gains and losses are deferred. Accumulated unrecognized gains and losses in excess of 10% of the
funded status are amortized into continuing expense over the average remaining life expectancy of all participants (approximately 10 years).

The black lung obligation increased to $47.5 million in 2007 from $46.7 million in 2006 largely due to several inactive miners filing new
claims in 2007, partially offset by the effect of increasing the discount rate by 35 basis points to 6.1% as of December 31, 2007.

Future cash payments are expected to gradually decline as the number of participants declines through mortality. Future expense levels are also
expected to decline as the remaining value of the obligation declines.

Primary U.S. Pension Plan

The Company has a U.S. defined benefit pension plan for which benefit levels were frozen effective December 31, 2005. As a result,
participants in the plan ceased earning additional benefits at December 31, 2005. Participants who have not met requirements for vesting are
continuing to accrue vesting service in accordance with terms of the plans. Using actuarial assumptions as of December 31, 2007, the plan had
an accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) of approximately $710 million.

The ABO represents the net present value of expected future cash flows discounted to December 31, 2007 at 6.4%. The Company changed its
method of estimating its discount rate in 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the discount rate used to measure the present value of the
Company’s benefit obligations was derived using the cash flow matching method. Under this method, the Company compares the plans’
projected payment obligations by year with the corresponding yields on the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve and the Mercer Yield Curve.
The cash flows are then discounted to their present value and a discount rate is determined for each curve; the average of the two discount rates
is selected and is rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point. As market interest rates fluctuate, the net present value of the Company’s
obligation will change. The impact of a one percentage point (100 basis points) change in the discount rate used at December 31, 2007, would
have been as follows:

At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the plan’s assets was approximately $709 million. The Company uses a long-term rate of return
assumption to determine expected annual income from plan assets. This expected annual income reduces future plan expense. The Company’s
expected long-term rate of return in 2008 is 8.75%. If the Company were to use a different long-term rate of return assumption, annual pension
expense would be different.

The historical and projected benefit payments and expense for the U.S. plan are set out in the table below. The projected benefit payments and
expense reflect assumptions used in the valuation at December 31, 2007. These assumptions are reviewed annually, and it is likely that they
will change in future years.

As can be noted from the above table, freezing the plan significantly reduced pension expense in 2006. The level of expense decreased slightly
in 2007 primarily as a result of higher plan assets. The above expense amounts were charged to the business segments in approximately the
following proportions: Brink’s – 38%, BHS – 4%, Corporate – 2%, former operations – 56%.

The amount of cash the Company may have to contribute in the future for the Company’s primary U.S. pension plan is determined using a
different set of assumptions which are generally more conservative than the market-based assumptions used under GAAP for financial
accounting purposes.

The Company voluntarily contributed $13 million to the primary U.S. pension plan in 2007. The Company currently projects $18 million of
contributions to be made to the primary U.S. pension plan over the next five years, but this projection could change. These estimated future
contributions are higher than that projected last year as a result of the impact of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 which increased the
minimum funding requirements for plan years beginning in 2008. Actual investment returns and interest rates are likely to differ from those
assumed at December 31, 2007; this could result in a change in projected contributions. Voluntary contributions have the effect of reducing
and potentially delaying later required contributions.

The pension plan’s benefits will be paid out over an extended period of time. Accordingly, the Company takes a long-term approach to
funding levels and contribution policies. Historically, long-term returns on assets invested have significantly exceeded the discount rate for
pension liabilities so it is expected that a portion of the future liability will be funded by investment returns. On a GAAP basis, the plan was
99.9% funded at December 31, 2007.

Interest income was lower in 2007 than in 2006 due to lower average levels of marketable securities, and interest income was higher in 2006
from 2005 due to the higher average levels of marketable securities. The increase in marketable securities in 2006 was the result of investing
proceeds acquired with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of BAX Global. The Company divested these securities prior to December 31,
2006.

Dividend income from a real estate investment was lower in 2007 due to lower real estate activity. The Company does not expect to receive
significant dividends on its real estate investment in 2008.

The Company made a $1.6 million make-whole payment associated with the prepayment of the Senior Notes in 2006.

Overview
The Company’s effective tax rate has varied in the past three years from the statutory U.S. federal rate due to various factors, including:

•
•
•
•
•
•

changes in valuation allowances
changes in the geographical mix of earnings
timing of benefit recognition for uncertain tax positions
state income taxes
repatriation of earnings in 2005
the initial recognition of a net deferred tax benefit in 2005 recorded as a result of the decision to sell the stock of BAX Global

The Company establishes or reverses valuation allowances for deferred tax assets depending on all available information including historical
and expected future operating performance of its subsidiaries. Changes in judgment about the future realization of deferred tax assets can result
in significant adjustments to the valuation allowances. Based on the Company’s historical and future expected taxable earnings, management
believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances.

The Company currently believes its effective income tax rate in 2008 will be approximately 37% to 39%. The actual 2008 tax rate could be
materially different from the Company’s estimate.

Continuing Operations
2007
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in 2007 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to a $3.0 million
net increase in the state tax expense and a $6.5 million increase related to a net increase in the valuation allowance for non-U.S. deferred tax
assets.

2006
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in 2006 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to $6.7 million of
state income tax expense and a $4.9 million net increase in the valuation allowance for non-U.S. deferred tax assets, primarily related to
European operations.

2005
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in 2005 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily as a result of new
valuation allowances in various countries in South America and Europe, the effects of losses in tax jurisdictions for which the Company does
not record a tax benefit for such losses and $3 million of tax expense related to the repatriation of non-U.S. earnings. This was partially offset
by the favorable resolution of contingent state income tax matters.

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations include the tax provision or benefit associated with the Company’s BAX Global and other former businesses, and the
resolution of associated contingent tax matters.

2007
The income tax benefit on the pretax loss from discontinued operations in 2007 was lower than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate due to tax
benefits not recognized related to losses at Brink’s United Kingdom domestic cash handling operations.

2006
The effective tax rate in 2006 approximated the U.S. statutory tax rate.

2005
The effective tax rate in 2005 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily as a result of an income tax benefit of $27.4 million recorded
upon the resolution of income tax matters with the Internal Revenue Service related to the former natural resource business. In addition, the
Company recognized a $7.0 million net deferred tax benefit for the excess of the tax basis over the carrying value of the Company’s investment
in BAX Global as a result of the Company’s decision to sell BAX Global’s stock.

Other
As of December 31, 2007, the Company has not recorded U.S. federal deferred income taxes on the majority of the undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 23, Accounting for Income Taxes – Special Areas, as amended.
It is expected that these earnings will be permanently reinvested in operations outside the U.S. It is not practical to compute the estimated
deferred tax liability on these earnings.

(b) Revenues of BAX Global were $230.0 million in 2006 (partial year) and $2,899.4 million in 2005. In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, BAX Global ceased depreciating and amortizing long-lived assets after November 2005, the date that BAX
Global was classified as held for sale. Had BAX Global not ceased depreciation and amortization, its pretax income would have been $3.3 million lower
in 2006 and $4.9 million lower in 2005.

Brink’s United Kingdom Domestic Cash Handling Operations
During 2007, the Company sold Brink’s United Kingdom domestic cash handling operations for $2.2 million in cash and recognized a $1.5
million gain on the sale. The Company expects to recognize up to $1.4 million of additional income in discontinued operations during future
periods as the assumption of remaining contractual obligations by the buyer is completed. These operations recorded a $7.5 million
impairment charge in 2007, primarily related to writing down leasehold improvements and vehicles to estimated fair value due to the loss of
customers. These operations have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

BAX Global
On January 31, 2006, the Company sold BAX Global, a wholly owned freight transportation subsidiary, for approximately $1 billion in cash,
resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $587 million ($375 million after tax). The operating results of BAX Global’s operations through
the date of sale have been classified as discontinued operations. See note 17 to the consolidated financial statements.

Adjustments to Contingent Assets and Liabilities of Former Operations
Health Benefit Act Liabilities. The Company’s obligations under the Health Benefit Act, as described in note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, was reduced by $148.3 million in 2006, primarily due to the 2006 Act. The law significantly reduced the Company’s future
estimated payments to the Combined Fund.

Withdrawal Liabilities. The Company withdrew from the UMWA 1950 and 1974 pension plans in June 2005 as the last employees working
under UMWA labor agreements left the Company. As a result of the withdrawal from these coal-related plans, the Company settled its
liabilities and made final payments to the plans amounting to $20.4 million in July 2006. A pretax benefit of $9.9 million related to this
settlement was recorded in 2006.

Prior to the 2006 settlement payment, the Company estimated the obligation based on the funded status of the multi-employer plans at the most
recent measurement date. The change in the Company’s liability in 2005 was due to changes in the UMWA plans’ unfunded liabilities.

Federal Black Lung Excise Tax. In 1999, the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia entered a final judgment in favor of the
Company, ruling that the Federal Black Lung Excise Tax (“FBLET”) is unconstitutional as applied to export coal sales. In December 2005, the
Company reached a final settlement agreement related to all claims for FBLET refunds and recorded a pretax gain of $15.1 million.

Other. The Company recorded expenses of $1.7 million in 2007 and $6.2 million in 2005 to reflect an increase in the estimated cost of
reclamation at its former coal mines. Income of $0.6 million was recorded during 2006 to reflect a decrease in estimated costs. The estimate of
the cost of reclamation may change in the future.

Foreign Operations

The Company operates in approximately 50 countries outside the U.S., each with a local currency other than the U.S. dollar. Because the
financial results of the Company are reported in U.S. dollars, they are affected by changes in the value of various foreign currencies in relation
to the U.S. dollar. Changes in exchange rates may also affect transactions which are denominated in currencies other than the functional
currency. The diversity of foreign operations helps to mitigate a portion of the impact that foreign currency fluctuations in any one country may
have on the translated results.

The Company, from time to time, uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies, as
discussed in Item 7A below.

Brink’s Venezuelan subsidiaries (“Brink’s Venezuela”) were considered to be operating in a highly inflationary economy in 2002. Since then,
Venezuela’s economy has not been considered to be highly inflationary. It is possible that Venezuela’s economy may be considered highly
inflationary again at some time in the future.

The Company is exposed to certain risks when it operates in highly inflationary economies, including the risk that

•
•

•

the rate of price increases for services will not keep pace with cost inflation
adverse economic conditions in the highly inflationary country may discourage business growth which could affect demand for the
Company’s services
the devaluation of the currency may exceed the rate of inflation and reported U.S. dollar revenues and profits may decline

Brink’s Venezuela is also subject to local laws and regulatory interpretations that determine the exchange rate at which repatriating dividends
may be converted. It is possible that Brink’s Venezuela may be subject to less favorable exchange rates on dividend remittances in the future.
The Company’s reported U.S. dollar revenues, earnings and equity would be adversely affected if revenues and operating profits of Brink’s
Venezuela were to be reported using a less favorable currency exchange rate.

The Company is also subject to other risks customarily associated with doing business in foreign countries, including labor and economic
conditions, political instability, controls on repatriation of earnings and capital, nationalization, expropriation and other forms of restrictive
action by local governments. The future effects, if any, of these risks on the Company cannot be predicted.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

Over the last three years, the Company has used the cash generated from operations and the divestiture of BAX Global and other noncore
businesses to repurchase shares and strengthen its balance sheet by reducing debt and making contributions to the VEBA. Cash flows in the
last three years also included significant cash payments associated with retained liabilities of the former coal operations.

The sale of BAX Global in January 2006 provided the Company with cash of approximately $1 billion. In 2006, with the proceeds, the
Company:
•
•

repurchased approximately 12.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $631 million
contributed $225 million to a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association trust (“VEBA”) designated to pay retiree medical
obligations to former coal operations employees
paid $60 million to settle outstanding Senior Notes
significantly reduced other debt
paid $67 million of its 2006 U.S. income tax liability
paid $20.4 million to settle obligations related to the withdrawal from two multi-employer pension plans of the former coal
operations

Operating Activities

2007
Operating cash flow from continuing operations increased by $419.8 million in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to the $225 million
contribution to the VEBA in 2006, partially offset by a $13 million contribution in 2007 to the primary U.S. pension plan. This $212 million
decrease in cash outflow for 2007 was augmented by higher operating profit, lower working capital usage and lower cash paid for income
taxes. Also, beginning in 2007, the Company did not use its cash to pay for coal-related retiree benefits. These amounts were instead paid by
the VEBA. This improved cash flows from operations in 2007 compared to 2006, which included $38 million of direct benefit payments to
retirees.

2006
Operating cash flows from continuing operations decreased by $227.0 million in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to a $225 million
contribution to the VEBA made in 2006. In addition, higher cash flows from operating activities from Brink’s were partially offset by higher
U.S. federal tax payments related to the sale of BAX Global. Operating cash flows from discontinued operations in 2006 includes $15.1
million of FBLET refunds, as well as payments of $20.4 million in 2006 to settle the Company’s withdrawal liabilities related to multi-
employer pension plans.

Investing Activities

Continuing Operations
Investing cash flows decreased by $1.0 billion in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily as the result of the receipt of approximately $1 billion from
the sale of BAX Global in 2006. Cash from investing activities in 2007 included $41.9 million of higher capital expenditures compared to
2006.

Capital expenditures in 2007 were $41.9 million higher than in 2006. Brink’s capital expenditures were primarily for new facilities, cash
processing and security equipment, armored vehicles, and information technology. BHS capital expenditures were higher in 2007 as the result
of the addition of more new subscribers than in the prior year.

Capital expenditures in 2008 are currently expected to range from $185 million to $195 million at BHS, reflecting an increase in customer
installations. Expected capital expenditures for 2008 at Brink’s range from $155 million to $165 million, reflecting higher spending on
branches, vehicles and safes.

Proceeds from Dispositions
Cash flows from investing activities in 2007 included $2.2 million of cash proceeds related to the disposition of Brink’s United Kingdom
domestic cash handling operations.

Cash flows from investing activities included cash proceeds of approximately $1 billion in 2006 from the sale of BAX Global. Sales of natural
resource businesses provided cash of $5.0 million in 2005.

Acquisitions
As previously described, Brink’s made a number of acquisitions in the last three years including several operations in Europe. Cash paid for
acquisitions totaled $13.4 million in 2007, $14.4 million in 2006 and $53.2 million in 2005.

Discontinued Operations
Cash used for investing activities for discontinued operations increased by $7.0 million in 2007 from 2006 primarily as a result of the sale of
BAX Global in January 2006. Cash used for investing activities for discontinued operations was lower in 2006 compared to 2005 because
capital expenditures at BAX Global were included in the Company’s consolidated cash flow for only one month in 2006.

Overview
Cash flows before financing activities from the Company’s business segments totaled $231.6 million over the last three years. The sale of
BAX Global in 2006 for approximately $1 billion also contributed significantly to that year’s cash flows before financing activities. Using this
cash, the Company made a $225 million voluntary contribution to its VEBA. Cash flows before financing activities in 2006 and 2005 also
included significant annual cash payments associated with retained liabilities of the former coal operations.

Brink’s
Cash flows before financing activities increased $36.1 million in 2007 over 2006 primarily due to higher operating profit. This increase was
partially offset by higher capital expenditures.

Cash flows before financing activities at Brink’s increased by $82.8 million in 2006 due to a higher operating profit in 2006 and a $38.8
million decrease in cash used for acquisitions.

BHS
The $6.9 million year-over-year increase in cash flows before financing activities at BHS in 2007 is primarily due to higher cash flows from
operations as a result of higher operating profit and lower growth in new installations, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.

The $2.9 million decrease in BHS’ cash flows before financing activities in 2006 is primarily due to a higher income tax rate, partially offset by
higher earnings.

Corporate and Former Operations
Other cash flows related to corporate and former operations improved in 2007 as a result of a decision to pay a majority of postretirement
medical benefits using assets held by the VEBA beginning January 1, 2007, instead of using corporate cash. The Company paid $38 million in
2006 and $36 million in 2005 from corporate cash for coal-related medical plan benefits for retirees. In addition, federal U.S. tax payments
were $60 million lower in 2007 compared to 2006. The Company paid $67 million in 2006 of estimated U.S. income tax liability, principally
as a result of the large gain on the sale of BAX Global. The Company did not pay U.S. federal income taxes in 2005.

The Company received approximately $1 billion in net proceeds for the sale of BAX Global during 2006. The Company immediately
contributed $225 million to the VEBA.

The Company received $5.0 million in total net proceeds during 2005 from the sale of substantially all of its remaining natural resource
interests.

Discontinued Operations
Cash flows before financing activities from discontinued operations in 2006 included only one month of operations for BAX Global compared
to a full year in 2005. Additionally in 2006, the Company received $15.1 million in FBLET refunds and paid $20.4 million to settle two multi-
employer pension plan withdrawal liabilities.

During 2007, the Company purchased 60,500 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $60.30. The purchases were settled in 2007
($2.7 million) and in January 2008 ($0.9 million). During 2006, the Company used $630.9 million to purchase 12.2 million shares of its
common stock, at an average cost of $51.80 per share. These shares include 10.4 million shares purchased at $51.20 per share in a $530
million Dutch auction self-tender offer on April 11, 2006.

The Company made scheduled payments of $18.3 million in 2006 and 2005 related to its Senior Notes. On March 31, 2006, the Company
prepaid the outstanding $58.4 million balance of its Senior Notes and made a make-whole payment of $1.6 million. The Senior Notes were
terminated upon prepayment. In addition, the Company significantly reduced other debt during 2006.

The Company’s operating liquidity needs are typically financed by short-term debt and the Revolving Facility, described below.

On January 25, 2008, the board declared a regular quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share payable on March 3, 2008. Future dividends are
dependent on the earnings, financial condition, cash flow and business requirements of the Company, as determined by the board of directors.
At December 31, 2007, approximately $120 million of shareholders’ equity was not available for dividends to shareholders due to limitations
imposed by the Company’s Revolving Facility and other lending arrangements (see note 12 to the consolidated financial statements).

Capitalization

The Company uses a combination of debt, leases and equity to capitalize its operations. As of December 31, 2007, debt as a percentage of
capitalization (defined as total debt and shareholders’ equity) was 10% compared to 18% at December 31, 2006. The decrease resulted from
the reduction in debt of $57.6 million combined with an increase in equity of $292.5 million. Equity increased in 2007 primarily as a result of
the generation of $148.6 million in income from continuing operations and $130.9 million of other comprehensive income.

The supplemental Net Debt (Cash) information is non-GAAP financial information that management believes is an important measure to
evaluate the Company’s financial leverage. This supplemental non-GAAP information should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s Net Debt (Cash) position at December 31, 2007, as compared to December 31, 2006, improved
primarily due to cash generated from operating activities.

Debt
The Company has an unsecured $400 million revolving bank credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. The
Revolving Facility’s interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin, prime rate, or competitive bid. The Revolving Facility allows the
Company to borrow (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over a five-year term ending August 2011. As of December 31,
2007, $381.0 million was available under the Revolving Facility.

The Company has an unsecured $150 million credit facility with a bank to provide letters of credit and other borrowing capacity over a five-
year term ending in December 2009 (the “Letter of Credit Facility”). As of December 31, 2007, $13.6 million was available for use under this
revolving credit facility. The Revolving Facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities described below are also used for the
issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.

The Company has three unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities totaling $93.8 million at December 31, 2007, of which $66.1
million was unused. In February 2008, the (cid:1)30 million multi-currency facility expired and was not renewed. When rates are favorable, the
Company also borrows from other banks under short-term uncommitted agreements. Various foreign subsidiaries maintain other secured and
unsecured lines of credit and overdraft facilities with a number of banks.

The Company’s Brink’s and BHS subsidiaries have guaranteed the Revolving Facility and the Letter of Credit Facility. The Revolving
Facility, the Letter of Credit Facility and the multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities contain various financial and other covenants. The
financial covenants, among other things, limit the Company’s total indebtedness, limit asset sales, limit the use of proceeds on asset sales, and
provide for minimum coverage of interest costs. The credit agreements do not provide for the acceleration of payments should the Company’s
credit rating be reduced. If the Company were not to comply with the terms of its various loan agreements, the repayment terms could be
accelerated and the commitments could be withdrawn. An acceleration of the repayment terms under one agreement could trigger the
acceleration of the repayment terms under the other loan agreements. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at
December 31, 2007.

The Company has guaranteed $43.2 million of bonds issued by the Peninsula Ports Authority of Virginia. The guarantee originated as part of
the Company’s former interest in Dominion Terminal Associates, a deep water coal terminal. The Company continues to pay interest on and
guarantee payment of the $43.2 million principal amount and ultimately will have to pay for the retirement of the bonds in accordance with the
terms of the guarantee. The bonds bear a fixed interest rate of 6.0% and mature in 2033. The bonds may mature prior to 2033 upon the
occurrence of specified events such as the determination that the bonds are taxable or the failure of the Company to abide by the terms of its
guarantee.

The Company believes it has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its near-term requirements.

Equity
At December 31, 2007, the Company had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 48.4 million shares issued and outstanding. As
further discussed below, between April 11, 2006 and February 22, 2008, the Company purchased approximately 12.4 million shares of its
common stock for $645.8 million. The shares purchased represented 21% of the 58.7 million shares outstanding on December 31, 2005.
Shares held by The Brink’s Company Employee Benefits Trust (the “Employee Benefits Trust”) that have not been allocated to participants
under various benefit plans (1.7 million at December 31, 2007) are excluded from earnings per share calculations since they are treated as
treasury shares for the calculation of earnings per share.

Dutch Auction
On March 8, 2006, the Company’s board of directors authorized a “Dutch auction” self-tender offer to purchase up to 10 million shares of the
Company’s common stock. Under certain circumstances up to an additional 2% of the outstanding common stock was authorized to be
purchased in the tender offer. The tender offer began on March 9, 2006, and expired on April 6, 2006, and was subject to the terms and
conditions described in the offering materials mailed to the Company’s shareholders and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On April 11, 2006, the Company purchased 10,355,263 shares in the tender offer at $51.20 per share for a total of approximately $530.2
million in cash. The Company incurred $0.7 million in costs associated with the purchase.

Share Purchase Programs
2006 Program. Following the self-tender offer, the board authorized additional Company common stock purchases of up to $100 million from
time to time as market conditions warranted and as covenants under existing agreements permitted (the “2006 Program”). The 2006 Program
did not require any specific number of shares be purchased. Under the 2006 Program, the Company used $100 million to purchase 1,823,118
shares of common stock between May 22 and October 5, 2006, at an average price of $54.85 per share. The Company has no remaining
authority under the 2006 Program.

2007 Program. On September 14, 2007, the Company’s board of directors authorized the purchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s
outstanding common shares (the “2007 Program”). The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and potential share
repurchases will depend on a variety of factors. Under the 2007 Program, the Company used $3.6 million to purchase 60,500 shares of
common stock between December 5, 2007, and December 31, 2007, at an average price of $60.30 per share. As of December 31, 2007, the
Company had $96.4 million under the 2007 Program available to purchase shares. In 2008, through February 22, 2008, another 206,800 shares
were purchased for $11.2 million at an average cost of $54.39 per share.

Preferred Stock
At December 31, 2007, the Company has the authority to issue up to 2.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $10 per share.

Series A Preferred Stock Rights Agreement
On September 25, 2007, the “Expiration Date” occurred under the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2003,
between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (successor to Equiserve Trust Company, N.A.), as amended by
Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated September 25, 2006, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Rights
Agreement”). As a result, the Rights Agreement and the rights issued thereunder expired by their own terms and each share of common stock,
par value $1.00 per share, of the Company no longer is accompanied by a right to purchase, under certain circumstances, one one-thousandth of
a share of Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company. Prior to expiration, the Rights Agreement gave holders of
common stock the right to purchase Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock if, among other things, a third-party accumulated more
than 15% of the voting rights of all outstanding common stock.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has operating leases that are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. See note 14 for operating leases that
have residual value guarantees or other terms that cause the agreement to be considered a variable interest. The Company uses operating leases
to lower its cost of financings. The Company believes operating leases are an important component of its capital structure.

(b) The Company has accrued for uncertain tax positions, pursuant to FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation
of SFAS 109, in the amount of $25.5 million in 2007. Included in the total is $10.8 million expected to be settled within one year. The expected timing of
the cash settlement for the remaining $14.7 million is currently not reasonably estimable.

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit

The Company is required by various state and federal laws to provide security with regard to its obligations to pay workers’ compensation
benefits, reclaim lands used for mining by the Company’s former coal operations and satisfy other obligations. As of December 31, 2007, the
Company had outstanding surety bonds with third parties totaling approximately $40.7 million that it has arranged in order to satisfy various
security requirements. Most of these bonds provide financial security for obligations which have already been recorded as liabilities. Surety
bonds are typically renewable on a yearly basis; however, there can be no assurance the bonds will be renewed or that premiums in the future
will not increase.

The Company believes that it has adequate available borrowing capacity under its Letter of Credit Facility and its Revolving Facility to provide
letters of credit or other collateral to secure its obligations if the remaining surety bonds are not renewed.

The Company has issued letters of credit of $136.4 million under its $150 million Letter of Credit Facility, described in “Debt” above. At
December 31, 2007, all of these issued letters of credit were being used to secure various obligations.

Contingent Matters

Income Tax
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to tax examinations in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has accrued
approximately $26 million for unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits has been
measured in accordance with FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of SFAS 109 (“FIN 48”).
The amount of tax benefits ultimately recognized for open tax periods at December 31, 2007, will depend on the final outcome of the various
issues that may arise during an examination, and the tax benefit recognized may be materially different from that amount as measured under
FIN 48.

Former Operations
The Company has recorded estimated liabilities for contingent obligations, including those for premiums to the Combined Fund, coal-related
workers’ compensation claims and reclamation obligations. These are discussed in more detail at “Results of Operations – Retained Liabilities
and Assets of Former Operations – Legacy Liabilities and Assets.”

BAX Global, a former business unit of the Company, is defending a claim related to the apparent diversion by a third party of goods being
transported for a customer. Although BAX Global is defending this claim vigorously and believes that its defenses have merit, it is possible
that this claim ultimately may be decided in favor of the claimant. If so, the Company expects that the ultimate amount of reasonably possible
unaccrued losses could range from $0 to $11 million. The Company has contractually indemnified the purchaser of BAX Global for this
contingency.

Value-added taxes (“VAT”) and customs duties
During 2004, the Company determined that one of its non-U.S. Brink’s business units had not paid customs duties and VAT with respect to the
importation of certain goods and services. The Company was advised that civil and criminal penalties could be asserted for the non-payment of
these customs duties and VAT. Although no penalties have been asserted to date, they could be asserted at any time. The business unit has
provided the appropriate government authorities with an accounting of unpaid customs duties and VAT and has made payments covering its
calculated unpaid VAT. The Company believes that the range of reasonably possible losses is between $0.4 million and $3.0 million for
potential penalties on unpaid VAT and has accrued $0.4 million. The Company believes that the range of possible losses for unpaid customs
duties and associated penalties, none of which has been accrued, is between $0 and $35 million. The Company believes that the assertion of
the penalties on unpaid customs duties would be excessive and would vigorously defend against any such assertion. The Company does not
expect to be assessed interest charges in connection with any penalties that may be asserted. The Company continues to diligently pursue the
timely resolution of this matter and, accordingly, the Company’s estimate of the potential losses could change materially in future periods. The
assertion of potential penalties may be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The application of accounting principles requires the use of assumptions, estimates and judgments which are the responsibility of management.
Management makes estimates and judgments based on, among other things, knowledge of operations, markets, historical trends and likely
future changes, similarly situated businesses and, when appropriate, the opinions of advisors with relevant knowledge and experience. Many
assumptions, estimates and judgments are straightforward; others are not. Reported results could have been materially different had
management used a different set of assumptions, estimates and judgments.

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance

It is common for companies to record expenses and accruals before the related payments are actually made. In the U.S., and most other
countries and tax jurisdictions, many deductions for tax return purposes cannot be taken until the expenses are paid. Similarly, some tax credits
and tax loss carry forwards cannot be used until future periods when sufficient taxable income is generated. In these circumstances, under
GAAP, companies accrue for the tax benefit expected to be received in future years if, in the judgment of management, it is “more likely than
not” that the company will receive the tax benefits. These benefits (deferred tax assets) are often offset, in whole or in part, by the effects of
deferred tax liabilities which relate primarily to deductions available for tax return purposes under existing tax laws and regulations before such
costs are reported as expenses under GAAP.

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $124 million of net deferred tax assets on its consolidated balance sheet. A
significant amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets relates to expected future tax deductions arising from retiree medical and other coal-
related expenses the Company has already recorded in its financial statements. For more details associated with this net balance, see note 5 to
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Since there is no absolute assurance that these assets will be ultimately realized, management reviews the Company’s deferred tax positions to
determine if it is more likely than not that the assets will be realized. Periodic reviews include, among other things, the nature and amount of
the taxable income and expense items, the expected timing when assets will be used or liabilities will be required to be reported and the
reliability of historical profitability of businesses expected to provide future earnings. Furthermore, management considers tax-planning
strategies it can use to increase the likelihood that the tax assets will be realized. If after conducting the periodic review, management
determines that the realization of the tax asset does not meet the “more-likely-than-not” criteria, an offsetting valuation allowance is recorded
thereby reducing net earnings and the deferred tax asset in that period. For these reasons and since changes in estimates can materially affect
net earnings, management believes the accounting estimate related to deferred tax asset valuation allowances is a critical accounting estimate.

Due to its expectation that the historical profitability of the Company’s U.S. portion of the Brink’s and BHS operations will continue and the
lengthy period over which coal-related liabilities will become available for deduction on tax returns, management has concluded that it is more
likely than not that these U.S. federal net deferred tax assets will be realized.

For U.S. state jurisdictions and non-U.S. jurisdictions, the Company has evaluated its ability to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets on an
individual jurisdiction basis. Due to a recent history of losses in some non-U.S. jurisdictions and doubts about whether future operating
performance will be sufficiently profitable to realize deferred tax assets, the Company has approximately $56 million of valuation allowances
at December 31, 2007.

Among other things, should tax statutes, the timing of deductibility of expenses or expectations for future performance change, the Company
could decide to adjust its valuation allowances, which would increase or decrease tax expense, possibly materially.

Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Property and Equipment Valuations

Accounting Policies
At December 31, 2007, the Company had property and equipment of $1,118.4 million, goodwill of $141.3 million and other intangible assets
of $25.5 million, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company reviews these assets for possible impairment using the
guidance in SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for goodwill and SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-lived Assets, for other intangible assets and property and equipment. The review for impairment requires the use of significant judgments
about the future performance of the Company’s operating subsidiaries and, as such, the Company believes they represent critical accounting
estimates.

Application of Accounting Policies
Goodwill
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually. The Company estimates the fair value of Brink’s, the only reporting unit that has
goodwill, primarily using estimates of future cash flows. The fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine if
an impairment is indicated. To date, no impairment has been identified. Due to a history of profitability and cash flow generation, the carrying
value of goodwill of Brink’s is believed to be appropriate.

Other Intangible Assets and Property and Equipment
To determine if an impairment exists related to long-lived assets besides goodwill, the Company compares estimates of the future undiscounted
net cash flows of groups of assets to their carrying value when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are
largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.

Prior to selling a portion of its United Kingdom operation, Brink’s recognized in 2007 a $7.5 million impairment charge. Besides this, Brink’s
has had no other significant impairments of property and equipment in the last three years.

Each quarter, when BHS customers disconnect their monitoring service, BHS records an impairment charge based on the carrying value of the
related security systems determined to be permanently disconnected which takes into account future expected reconnections. Future expected
reconnections are estimated using historical data. Should the estimate of future reconnection experience change, BHS’s impairment charges
would be affected.

Employee and Retiree Benefit Obligations

The Company provides its employees and retirees benefits through Company-sponsored plans, including defined benefit pension plans and
retiree medical benefit plans and under statutory requirements (e.g., black lung and workers’ compensation obligations).

The primary benefits which require the Company to make cash payments over an extended period of years are:

Pension obligation

•
• Retiree medical obligation
• Black Lung obligation
• Workers’ compensation obligation

Accounting Policy
The Company accounts for its pension plans under SFAS 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, as amended. The Company accounts for its
retiree medical obligations and Black Lung obligations under SFAS 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions, as amended. Following annual remeasurements, the Company records changes in liabilities and associated expenses as required
under these accounting standards.

As is normal for these benefits, cash payments will be made for periods ranging from the current year to over seventy years from now for some
of these benefits. The amount of the cash payments and related expenses will be affected over time by inflation, salary increases, investment
returns and market interest rates, changes in the numbers of plan participants and changes in the benefit obligations and/or laws and regulations
covering the benefit obligations. Because of the inherent volatility of these items and because the obligations are significant, the Company
believes these represent critical accounting estimates.

The critical accounting estimates that determine the carrying values of liabilities and the resulting annual expense are discussed below. The
plans that are affected by the assumptions discussed are identified parenthetically in the relevant title.

Application of Accounting Policy
Discount Rate (Pension, Retiree Medical and Black Lung)
A discount rate is used to determine the present value of future payments. The rate should reflect returns expected from high-quality bonds and
will fluctuate over time with market interest rates. In general, the Company’s liability changes in an inverse relationship to interest rates, i.e. the
lower the discount rate, the higher the associated plan obligation.

The Company changed its method of estimating its discount rate in 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the discount rate used to measure the
present value of the Company’s benefit obligations was derived using the cash flow matching method. Under this method, the Company
compares the plans’ projected payment obligations by year with the corresponding yields on the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve and the
Mercer Yield Curve. The cash flows are then discounted to their present value and a discount rate is determined for each curve; the average of
the two discount rates is selected and is rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point. As of December 31, 2007, the Company selected a
discount rate of 6.4% for the U.S. pension plans and retiree medical plans, and a discount rate of 6.1% for the Black Lung obligations.

Prior to 2007, the Company selected a discount rate for its plan obligations after reviewing published long-term yield information for a small
number of high-quality fixed-income securities (e.g. Moody’s Aa bond yields). The Company’s advisors also calculated yields for the broader
range of long-term high-quality securities with maturities in line with expected payments. After considering these factors, the Company
selected a discount rate of 5.75% as of December 31, 2006.

Sensitivity Analysis
The discount rate selected at year end affects the valuations of plan obligations at year end and calculations of net periodic expenses for the
following year.

The tables below compare hypothetical plan obligation valuations as of December 31, 2007, and estimated expenses for 2008 if the Company
had used discount rates that were 100 basis points lower or higher.

Return on Assets (Pension and Retiree Medical)
The Company’s primary U.S. defined benefit pension plan had assets at December 31, 2007, valued at approximately $709 million. This
pension plan’s assets are invested primarily using actively managed accounts with asset allocation targets of 47.5% domestic equities and
22.5% international equities, both of which include a broad array of market capitalization sizes and investment styles, and 30% fixed income
securities. The Company’s policy does not permit certain investments, including investments in The Brink’s Company common stock, unless
part of a commingled fund. Fixed-income investments must have an investment grade rating at the time of purchase. Assets are rebalanced on
a quarterly basis if actual allocations of assets are outside predetermined ranges. Among other factors, the performance of asset groups and
investment managers will affect the long-term rate of return.

The Company-sponsored retiree medical plan had assets in a VEBA at December 31, 2007, valued at approximately $460 million. The assets
in the VEBA are invested and managed on a similar basis to the pension plan. Accordingly, the same long-term rate of return assumption is
used for the VEBA.

Pension accounting principles require companies to use estimates of expected asset returns over long periods of time. The Company selects the
expected long-term rate of return assumption using advice from its investment advisor and its actuary considering the plan’s asset allocation
targets and expected overall investment manager performance and a review of its most recent ten-year and twenty year historical average
compounded rate of return. After following the above process, the Company selected 8.75% as its expected long-term rate of return as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006.

It is unlikely that in any given year the actual rate of return will be the same as the assumed long-term rate of return. In general, if actual
returns exceed the expected long-term rate of return, future levels of expense will go down and vice-versa. Over the last ten years, the annual
returns of the Company’s primary pension plan have fluctuated from a high of a 27.5% gain (2003) to a low of a 9.3% loss (2002) and
averaged, on a compounded basis, 8.5%, net of fees, per annum over the period. During that time period, there were six years in which returns
exceeded the assumed long-term rate of return and four years, the three years ended December 31, 2002 and the year ended December 31,
2007, with returns below the assumed long-term rate of return.

If the Company were to use a different long-term rate of return assumption, it would affect annual pension expense but would have no
immediate effect on funding requirements. For every hypothetical change of 100 basis points in the assumed long-term rate of return on plan
assets, the Company’s U.S. annual pension plan expense in 2007 would have increased or decreased by approximately $6 million before tax.
Similarly, the 2007 benefit of investment income in the VEBA would have increased or decreased by approximately $4 million.

The reduction (or “credit”) to pension expense associated with the assumed investment return fluctuates based on the level of plan assets (over
time, the higher the level of assets, the higher the credit and vice versa) and the assumed rate of return (the higher the rate, the higher the credit
and vice versa).

For the pension plan, the Company calculates expected investment returns by applying the expected long-term rate of return to the market-
related value of plan assets. The market-related value of the plan assets is different from the actual or fair-market value of the assets. The
actual or fair-market value is the value of the assets at a point in time that is available to make payments to pensioners and to cover any
transaction costs. The market-related value recognizes changes in fair-value on a straight-line basis over five years. This recognition method
spreads the effects of year-over-year volatility in the financial markets over several years.

The Company has elected to calculate expected investment returns on assets in the VEBA by applying the expected long-term rate of return to
the fair market value of the assets at year end. This method is likely to cause the credit to earnings from the VEBA’s expected return to
fluctuate more than the similar credit in the pension plan.

Salary Inflation (Pension)
Historically, pension expense and liabilities varied with the expected rate of salary increases – the higher or lower the annual increase, the
higher or lower the liability and expense. Since the Company has frozen benefits under the U.S. defined benefit pension plan, this assumption
will no longer affect future pension expense and liability for that plan.

Medical Inflation (Retiree Medical)
Changes in medical inflation will affect liability and expense amounts differently for the Company’s plans. There is a direct link between
medical inflation and expected spending for postretirement medical benefits under the Company-sponsored plan for 2007 and for later years.

For the Company-sponsored retiree medical plan, the Company assumed an inflation rate of 8.2% for 2008, and projects this rate to decline to
5% by 2013. The average annual increase for medical inflation in the plan for the last five years has been below 8%. Because of the volatility
of medical inflation it is likely that there will be future adjustments to these estimates, although the direction and extent of these adjustments
cannot be predicted at the present time.

If the Company had assumed that the health care cost trend rates would be 100 basis points higher in each future year, the APBO for the coal-
related retiree medical benefit plan would have been approximately $57 million higher at December 31, 2007, and the expense for 2007 would
have been $3.5 million higher. If the Company had assumed that the future health care cost trend rate would be 100 basis points lower, the
APBO would have been approximately $48 million lower at December 31, 2007, and the related 2007 expenses would have been $3.0 million
lower.

Workers’ Compensation
Besides the effects of changes in medical costs, worker’s compensation costs are affected by the severity and types of injuries, changes in state
and federal regulations and their application and the quality of programs which assist an employee’s return to work. The Company’s liability
for future payments for workers’ compensation claims is evaluated annually with the assistance of its actuary.

Numbers of Participants (All Plans)
The valuations of all of these benefit plans are affected by the life expectancy of the participants. Accordingly, the Company relies on actuarial
information to predict the number and life expectancy of participants. The Company uses the following mortality table for its major plans.

Plan
Retiree medical
Black Lung
Primary U.S. pension

Mortality table
RP-2000 Employee, Annuitant and Combined Healthy Blue Collar
1983 Group Annuity Mortality
RP-2000 Combined Healthy Blue Collar

The 2007 number of participants by major plan is as follows:

Plan
Coal-related
All other
Total retiree medical
Black Lung
Primary U.S. pension

Number of participants
5,045
1,727
6,772
777
22,416

Since the Company is no longer operating in the coal industry, it anticipates that the number of participants in the coal-related postretirement
medical plan and the number of participants receiving benefits under black lung regulations will decline over time due to mortality. Since the
U.S. pension plan has been frozen, the number of its participants should also decline over time.

Changes in Laws (All Plans)
The Company’s valuations of its liabilities are determined under existing laws and regulations. Changes in laws and regulations which affect
the ultimate level of liabilities and expense are reflected once the changes are final and their impact can be reasonably estimated. Recent
changes in laws that provide government subsidies for amounts paid for pharmaceuticals for medicare-eligible medical plan participants have
reduced the Company’s liability.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted Standards
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of SFAS 109, effective January
1, 2007. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance
with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement
disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The adoption of this interpretation increased retained earnings at
January 1, 2007, by $7.0 million.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 123(R), Share-Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006. Prior
to adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for share-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method under Accounting Principles
Board Opinion 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB 25”) as permitted by SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, the predecessor to SFAS 123(R). Under the intrinsic-value method no share-based compensation cost was recognized as all
options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. SFAS 123(R) eliminates
the use of the intrinsic-value method of accounting and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for
awards of equity instruments based on the fair value of those awards. In addition, SFAS 123(R) requires additional accounting and disclosures
for the income tax and cash flow effects of share-based payment arrangements.

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the “modified prospective” transition method. Under the modified prospective transition method,
the Company began recognizing share-based compensation costs on January 1, 2006, but did not restate prior periods. The amount of
compensation cost recognized was computed based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for share-based awards granted, modified or settled in
2006, and based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for the unvested portion of awards granted prior to 2006. Under SFAS 123(R), cash flows
from the benefit of tax deductions for stock options in excess of compensation cost are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows
as a financing activity. Under SFAS 123, these cash flows were included in operating activities and the prior-year amounts have not been
reclassified. In addition, under SFAS 123(R), the Company no longer separately reports The Brink’s Company Employee Benefits Trust (the
“Employee Benefits Trust”) in its consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and consolidated balance sheet; it is now offset with capital in
excess of par value. See note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for more information and for the required pro forma disclosures under
SFAS 123 for periods prior to 2006.

The Company adopted SFAS 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of
FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), effective December 31, 2006. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 158, the Company accounted for
its pension plans under SFAS 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, as previously amended, and for its Company-sponsored retiree medical
plans and black lung obligations under SFAS 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, as previously
amended. SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multi-employer
plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in funded status through comprehensive income in the year in which
the changes occur. The adoption of SFAS 158 reduced the amount of consolidated equity reported by the Company as of December 31, 2006,
by $162.9 million. In addition, SFAS 158 requires current liability classification when the actuarial present value of benefits payable in the
next twelve months exceeds the fair value of plan assets. See note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for more information.

The Company adopted Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”), effective December 31, 2006, which
is codified as SAB Topic 1.N, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements. SAB 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach (“dual
method” approach) and to evaluate whether either approach results in an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative
factors. Prior to the adoption of SAB 108, the Company evaluated errors using only the income statement approach.

The Company had previously identified that it had been incorrectly applying its accounting policy for recording impairment charges upon
subscriber disconnects at BHS. Prior to the adoption of SAB 108, the Company determined this incorrect application was not material to the
financial statements using the income statement approach. The correction of this application was considered material using the dual method
approach due to the impact on the trend of segment operating profit of BHS. Upon adoption of SAB 108, to correctly apply its accounting
policy to subscriber disconnects, the Company recorded a $3.8 million ($2.4 million after tax) increase to retained earnings in 2006.

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations (“FIN 47”), an interpretation of SFAS 143, Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional
asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS 143 includes a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset in
which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. An entity
is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably
estimated, even if conditional on a future event. The Company has conditional asset retirement obligations primarily associated with leased
facilities. The Company adopted FIN 47 on December 31, 2005, and recognized the following:

Includes $1.0 million of cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax, related to BAX Global and $0.9 million related to Brink’s United
Kingdom domestic cash handling operations.

Standards Not Yet Adopted
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based
measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008,
however, in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 157, which would delay the effective
date of SFAS 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The Company does not
expect that the implementation of SFAS 157, as it relates to the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities, will have a material effect
on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, as it relates to
the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (the “fair value option”).
Unrealized gains and losses, arising subsequent to the election of the fair value option, are reported in earnings. The Company is required to
adopt SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company does not expect that the implementation SFAS 159 will have a material effect on
the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) establishes requirements for an acquirer to record
the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any related noncontrolling interest related to the acquisition of a controlled subsidiary, measured at
fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 141(R) in the first quarter of 2009. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 amends
Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, as
well as for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specificially, SFAS 160 clarifies that noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary should be reported
as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 160 in the first quarter of 2009. The Company has
$68.2 million at December 31, 2007, and $51.8 million at December 31, 2006, of minority interest classified as noncurrent liabilities; upon
adoption of SFAS 160, these amounts will be classified as part of shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, the adoption of this standard will increase
equity and decrease liabilities, however, the Company does not currently expect that the implementation of SFAS 160 will have a material
effect on the Company’s results of operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s operations have activities in approximately 50 countries. These operations expose the Company to a variety of market risks,
including the effects of changes in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. These financial and commodity
exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as an integral part of its overall risk management program.

The Company periodically uses various derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, as discussed below, to hedge its interest rate,
commodity prices and foreign currency exposures when appropriate. The risk that counterparties to these instruments may be unable to perform
is minimized by limiting the counterparties used to major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The Company does not
expect to incur a loss from the failure of any counterparty to perform under the agreements. The Company does not use derivative financial
instruments for purposes other than hedging underlying financial or commercial exposures.

The sensitivity analyses discussed below for the market risk exposures were based on the facts and circumstances in effect at December 31,
2007. Actual results will be determined by a number of factors that are not under management’s control and could vary materially from those
disclosed.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses both fixed and floating rate debt and leases to finance its operations. Floating rate obligations, including the Company’s
Revolving Facility, expose the Company to fluctuations in cash flows due to changes in the general level of interest rates. Fixed rate
obligations, including the Company’s Dominion Terminal Associates debt, are subject to fluctuations in fair values as a result of changes in
interest rates.

Based on the contractual interest rates on the floating rate debt at December 31, 2007, a hypothetical 10% increase in rates would increase cash
outflows by approximately $0.3 million over a twelve-month period. In other words, the Company’s weighted average interest rate on its
floating rate instruments was 6.5% per annum at December 31, 2007. If that average rate were to increase by 0.6 percentage points to 7.1%,
the cash outflows associated with these instruments would increase by $0.3 million annually. The effect on the fair value of the Company’s
Dominion Terminal Associates debt for a hypothetical 10% decrease in the yield curve from year-end 2007 levels would result in a $3.6
million increase in the fair value of this debt.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company, primarily through its Brink’s operations, has exposure to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the results
of all of its foreign operations. The Company’s foreign operations generally use local currencies to conduct business but their results are
reported in U.S. dollars.

The Company is exposed periodically to the foreign currency rate fluctuations that affect transactions not denominated in the functional
currency of domestic and foreign operations. To mitigate these exposures, the Company, from time to time, enters into foreign currency
forward contracts. At December 31, 2007, no foreign currency forward contracts were outstanding. The Company does not use derivative
financial instruments to hedge investments in foreign subsidiaries since such investments are long-term in nature.

The effects of a hypothetical simultaneous 10% appreciation in the U.S. dollar from year-end 2007 levels against all other currencies of
countries in which the Company has continuing operations are as follows:

(In millions)

Hypothetical Effects
Increase/ (decrease)

Translation of 2007 earnings into U.S. dollars
Transactional exposures
Translation of net assets of foreign subsidiaries

(6.3)
0.5
(51.6)

The hypothetical foreign currency effects above detail the consolidated impact of a simultaneous change in the value of a large number of
foreign currencies relative to the U. S. dollar. The foreign currency exposure impact related to a change in an individual currency could be
significantly different.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published
financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in
“Internal Control – Integrated Framework”. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm which audits the Company’s consolidated financial statements, has issued an
attestation report of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. KPMG’s attestation report appears on page 74.

REPORT of INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Brink’s Company:

We have audited The Brink’s Company’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO). The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.
Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, The Brink’s Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated
balance sheets of The Brink’s Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2007, and our report dated February 27, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT of INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Brink’s Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Brink’s Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December
31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Brink’s Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As disclosed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, effective January 1, 2007, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, effective December 31, 2006, and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements, effective December 31, 2006.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), The Brink’s
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 27,
2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

THE BRINK’S COMPANY
and subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The Brink’s Company (along with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) conducts business in the security industry, through two wholly owned
subsidiaries:

• Brink’s, Incorporated (“Brink’s”)
• Brink’s Home Security, Inc. (“BHS”)

The Company expects to distribute its interest in BHS to the shareholders of The Brink’s Company in the fourth quarter of 2008, as further
discussed in note 23. After the distribution, the Company will report BHS’ results of operations, including previously reported results, within
discontinued operations.

On January 31, 2006, the Company sold BAX Global Inc. (“BAX Global”), a wholly owned freight transportation subsidiary, for
approximately $1 billion in cash and recorded a pretax gain of approximately $587 million. On August 5, 2007, the Company sold Brink’s
United Kingdom domestic cash handling operations. Both of these operations have been reported within discontinued operations for all
periods presented. In prior years, the Company sold its natural resource businesses and interests, and adjustments to contingent liabilities of
these former operations have also been reported within discontinued operations. The Company has significant liabilities associated with its
former coal operations and expects to have ongoing expenses and cash outflows related to these obligations. See notes 4, 17 and 21.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Brink’s Company and the subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined
based on ownership rights or, when applicable, based on whether the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable
interest entity. The Company’s interest in 20%- to 50%-owned companies that are not controlled are accounted for using the equity method
(“equity affiliates”), unless the Company does not sufficiently influence the management of the investee. Other investments are accounted
for as cost-method investments or as available-for-sale marketable securities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition
Brink’s. Revenue is recognized when services are performed. Services related to armored car transportation, ATM servicing, cash logistics
and coin sorting and wrapping are performed in accordance with the terms of customer contracts, which have prices that are fixed and
determinable. Brink’s assesses the customer’s ability to meet the contractual terms, including payment terms, before entering into contracts.
Customer contracts generally are automatically extended after the initial contract period until either party terminates the agreement.

BHS. Monitoring revenues are recognized monthly as services are provided pursuant to the terms of subscriber contracts, which have
contract prices that are fixed and determinable. BHS assesses the subscriber’s ability to meet the contract terms, including payment terms,
before entering into the contract. Generally, nonrefundable installation revenues and a portion of the related direct costs of acquiring new
subscribers (primarily sales commissions) are deferred and recognized over an estimated 15 year subscriber relationship period. When an
installation is identified for disconnection, any unamortized deferred revenues and deferred costs related to that installation are recognized at
that time.

BAX Global (discontinued operation). Revenues related to transportation services were recognized, together with related variable
transportation costs, on the date shipments depart from facilities en route to destination locations. BAX Global and its customers agreed to
the terms of the shipments, including pricing, prior to shipment. Pricing terms were fixed and determinable, and BAX Global only agreed to
shipments when it believed that the collectibility of related billings was reasonably assured. Export freight service revenues were shared
among the origin and destination countries.

Taxes collected from customers. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues in the
consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the
Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses on the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines
the allowance based on historical write-off experience. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered
remote.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated principally on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful
lives of individual assets or classes of assets.

Leased property and equipment meeting capital lease criteria are capitalized at the lower of the present value of the related lease payments or
the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Amortization is calculated on the straight-line method based on the lease term.

Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Amortization is calculated principally on the straight-line method over the lesser of the
estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement or lease term. Renewal periods are included in the lease term when the renewal is
determined to be reasonably assured.

Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs on property and equipment are charged to expense. Major renewals, betterments and
modifications are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the asset or, if applicable, the lease term. Major
maintenance of aircraft used by BAX Global (discontinued operation) was capitalized when incurred and amortized over flying time to the
next scheduled maintenance date.

BHS retains ownership of most security systems installed at subscriber locations. Costs for those systems are capitalized and depreciated over
the estimated lives of the assets. Costs capitalized as part of security systems include equipment and materials used in the installation process,
direct labor required to install the equipment at subscriber sites, and other costs associated with the installation process. These other costs
include the cost of vehicles used for installation purposes and the portion of telecommunication, facilities and administrative costs incurred
primarily at BHS’ branches that are associated with the installation process. In 2007, direct labor and other costs represented approximately
69% of the amounts capitalized, while equipment and materials represented approximately 31% of amounts capitalized. In addition to regular
straight-line depreciation expense each period, the Company charges to expense the carrying value of security systems estimated to be
permanently disconnected based on each period’s actual disconnects and historical reconnection experience.

Part of the costs related to the development or purchase of internal-use software is capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of
the software. Costs that are capitalized include external direct costs of materials and services to develop or obtain the software, and internal
costs, including compensation and employee benefits for employees directly associated with a software development project.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses
acquired. Intangible assets arising from business acquisitions include covenants not to compete, customer lists and other identifiable
intangibles. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization have, at December 31, 2007, average remaining useful lives ranging from 1 to 8
years and are amortized primarily on a straight-line basis.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually by comparing the carrying value of each reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The
Company bases its estimates of fair value on projected future cash flows. The Company completed goodwill impairment tests during each of
the last three years with no impairment charges required.

Long-lived assets other than goodwill are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an
asset may not be recoverable.

For long-lived assets other than goodwill that are to be held and used in operations, an impairment is indicated when the estimated total
undiscounted cash flow associated with the asset or group of assets is less than carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to
write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value.

Long-lived assets held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Fair values are determined based on
quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Company accounts for its pension plans under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 87, Employers’ Accounting for
Pensions, as amended. The Company accounts for other postretirement benefit plans under SFAS 106, Employers’ Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, as amended. See “New Accounting Standards – Adopted Standards,” below for an amendment
to SFAS 87 and 106 that was effective December 31, 2006.

The Company changed its method of estimating its discount rate in 2007. As of December 31, 2007, the discount rate used to measure the
present value of the Company’s benefit obligations was derived using the cash flow matching method. Under this method, the Company
compares the plans’ projected payment obligations by year with the corresponding yields on the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve and the
Mercer Yield Curve. The cash flows are then discounted to their present value and a discount rate is determined for each curve; the average
of the two discount rates is selected and is rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point. The effect of the change in estimate was to
increase other comprehensive income in 2007 by $46.3 million.

Prior to 2007, the Company selected a discount rate for its plan obligations after reviewing published long-term yield information for a small
number of high-quality fixed-income securities (e.g. Moody’s Aa bond yields) and yields for the broader range of long-term high-quality
securities with maturities in line with expected payments.

Assets of pension and other postretirement benefit plans are invested primarily using actively managed accounts of equities, which include a
broad array of market capitalization sizes and investment styles, and fixed income securities. The Company’s policy does not permit certain
investments, including investments in The Brink’s Company common stock, unless part of a commingled fund. Fixed-income investments
must have an investment grade rating at the time of purchase. Assets are rebalanced on a quarterly basis if actual allocations of assets are
outside predetermined ranges. Among other factors, the performance of asset groups and investment managers will affect the long-term rate
of return.

The Company selects the expected long-term rate of return assumption for its U.S. pension plan and retiree medical plans using advice from
its investment advisor and its actuary considering the plan’s asset allocation targets and expected overall investment manager performance
and a review of its most recent ten-year and twenty-year historical average compounded rate of return.

Benefit plan experience gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Accumulated net benefit plan experience gains and
losses that exceed 10% of the greater of a plan’s benefit obligation or plan assets at the beginning of the year are amortized into earnings from
other comprehensive income on a straight-line basis. The amortization period for pension plans is the average remaining service period of
employees expected to receive benefits under the plans. The amortization period for other postretirement plans is primarily the average
remaining life expectancy of inactive participants.

Health Benefit Act Liabilities
The Company is obligated to pay premiums to the United Mine Workers Association Combined Benefit Fund pursuant to rules established by
the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992, as amended (the “Health Benefit Act”). Health Benefit Act liabilities are recorded
when they are probable and estimable in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 92-13, Accounting for Estimated Payments
in Connection with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (the “2006 Act”)
substantially reduced the Health Benefit Act obligations of the Company and provided elective mechanisms to reduce the impact of joint and
several liability on the Company and its assets. The Company recorded a $148.3 million pretax gain within discontinued operations during
2006 primarily due to the effects of the 2006 Act.

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to recognize the expected future tax benefits or costs of events that have been reported in
different years for financial statement purposes than tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which these items are
expected to reverse. Management periodically reviews recorded deferred tax assets to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that they will be
realized. If management determines it is not more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, an offsetting valuation allowance
is recorded, reducing earnings and the deferred tax asset in that period. See “New Accounting Standards-Adopted Standards” below for more
information.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are reported in U.S. dollars. A substantial amount of the Company’s business is transacted
in other currencies due to the large number of countries in which the Company operates. In addition, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries
maintain their records primarily in the currency of the country in which they operate. Accordingly, income, expense and balance sheet values
must be translated into U.S. dollars. The value of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using rates of
exchange at the balance sheet date and translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Revenues and expenses
are translated at rates of exchange in effect during the year. Transaction gains and losses, and translation adjustments relating to subsidiaries
in countries with highly inflationary economies, are included in net income. No subsidiaries operated in highly inflationary economies during
the three years ended December 31, 2007.

Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks are principally cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivables. Cash and cash equivalents are held by major financial institutions. The Company routinely assesses the financial
strength of significant customers and this assessment, combined with the large number and geographic diversity of its customers, limits the
Company’s concentration of risk with respect to accounts receivable.

Use of Estimates
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management of the Company has made a number of estimates
and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these
consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The most significant estimates used by
management are related to goodwill and other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, and deferred tax assets.

New Accounting Standards
Adopted Standards
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of SFAS 109 (“FIN 48”),
effective January 1, 2007. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial
statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The adoption of this interpretation increased
retained earnings at January 1, 2007, by $7.0 million.

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006. Prior to adopting SFAS 123(R), the Company
accounted for share-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB 25”) as permitted by SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the predecessor to SFAS
123(R). Under the intrinsic-value method no share-based compensation cost was recognized as all options granted had an exercise price
equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. SFAS 123(R) eliminates the use of the intrinsic-value method
of accounting and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based
on the fair value of those awards. In addition, SFAS 123(R) requires additional accounting and disclosures for the income tax and cash flow
effects of share-based payment arrangements.

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the “modified prospective” transition method. Under the modified prospective transition method,
the Company began recognizing share-based compensation costs on January 1, 2006, but did not restate prior periods. The amount of
compensation cost recognized was computed based on the requirements of SFAS 123(R) for share-based awards granted, modified or settled
in 2006, and based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for the unvested portion of awards granted prior to 2006. Under SFAS 123(R), cash
flows from the benefit of tax deductions for stock options in excess of compensation cost are classified in the consolidated statements of cash
flows as a financing activity. Under SFAS 123, these cash flows were included in operating activities and the prior-year amounts have not
been reclassified. In addition, under SFAS 123(R), the Company no longer separately reports The Brink’s Company Employee Benefits
Trust (the “Employee Benefits Trust”) in its consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and consolidated balance sheet; it is now offset
with capital in excess of par value. See note 15 for more information and for the required pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123 for periods
prior to 2006.

The Company adopted SFAS 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of
FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), effective December 31, 2006. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 158, the Company accounted for
its pension plans under SFAS 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, as previously amended, and for its Company-sponsored retiree
medical plans and black lung obligations under SFAS 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, as
previously amended. SFAS 158 requires companies to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a
multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in funded status through comprehensive income in
the year in which the changes occur. The adoption of SFAS 158 reduced the amount of consolidated equity reported by the Company as of
December 31, 2006, by $162.9 million. In addition, SFAS 158 requires current liability classification when the actuarial present value of
benefits payable in the next twelve months exceeds the fair value of plan assets. See note 4 for more information.

The changes in the balance sheet at December 31, 2006, arising from the adoption of SFAS 158 are included below:

The Company adopted Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”), effective December 31,
2006, which is codified as SAB Topic 1.N, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current
Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income statement
approach (“dual method” approach) and to evaluate whether either approach results in an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative
and qualitative factors. Prior to the adoption of SAB 108, the Company evaluated errors using only the income statement approach.

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations (“FIN 47”), an interpretation of SFAS 143, Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional
asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS 143 includes a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset in
which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. An
entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be
reasonably estimated, even if conditional on a future event. The Company has conditional asset retirement obligations primarily associated
with leased facilities. The Company adopted FIN 47 on December 31, 2005, and recognized the following:

If the Company had adopted FIN 47 on January 1, 2003, the adoption date of SFAS 143, net income and earnings per share in 2005 would
have been the following on a pro forma basis:

The pro forma amounts were measured using the same information, assumptions and interest rates used to measure the liability for
conditional asset retirement obligations recognized upon adoption of FIN 47.

Standards Not Yet Adopted
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-
based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and states that a fair value measurement should be determined based on assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008,
however, in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, Partial Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 157, which would delay the effective
date of SFAS 157 for all nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The Company does not
expect that the implementation of SFAS 157, as it relates to the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities, will have a material effect
on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, as it relates to
the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities – Including an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (the “fair value
option”). Unrealized gains and losses, arising subsequent to the election of the fair value option, are reported in earnings. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS 159 in the first quarter of 2008. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS 159 will have a
material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) establishes requirements for an acquirer to record
the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any related noncontrolling interest related to the acquisition of a controlled subsidiary, measured
at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 141(R) in the first quarter of 2009. The Company is
currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 141(R) on the Company’s results of operations and financial
position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 amends
Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, as
well as for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specificially, SFAS 160 clarifies that noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 160 in the first quarter of 2009. The
Company has $68.2 million at December 31, 2007, and $51.8 million at December 31, 2006, of minority interest classified as noncurrent
liabilities; upon adoption of SFAS 160, these amounts will be classified as part of shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, the adoption of this
standard will increase equity and decrease liabilities, however, the Company does not currently expect that the implementation of SFAS 160
will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Note 2 – Segment Information

The Company conducts business in two operating segments: Brink’s and BHS. These segments are identified by the Company based on how
resources are allocated and operating decisions are made. Management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating
profit or loss, excluding corporate allocations.

Brink’s primary services include:

• Cash-in-transit (“CIT”) armored car transportation
• Automated teller machine (“ATM”) replenishment and servicing
• Money processing
• Global Services - arranging secure long-distance transportation of valuables
• Cash Logistics – supply chain management of cash; from point-of-sale through transport, vaulting and bank deposit
• Guarding services, including airport security
•

Secure Data Solutions - transporting, storing and destroying sensitive information

Brink’s operates in approximately 50 countries.

During the third quarter of 2007, Brink’s recorded a $2.0 million impairment charge to write down long-lived assets to estimated fair value.
The charge was recorded as part of other operating income, net, due to expected future operating losses and negative operating cash flows
associated with these assets.

BHS offers monitored security services in North America for owner-occupied, single-family residences and, to a lesser extent, commercial
properties. BHS typically installs and owns the on-site security systems and charges fees to monitor and service the systems.

Shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Employee Benefits Trust that have not been allocated to participants under the
Company’s various benefit plans are excluded from earnings per share calculations since they are treated as treasury shares for the calculation
of earnings per share. The Employee Benefits Trust held 1.7 million unallocated shares at December 31, 2007, 2.3 million unallocated shares
at December 31, 2006, and 1.2 million unallocated shares at December 31, 2005.

Note 4 – Employee and Retiree Benefits

The employee benefit plans and other liabilities described below cover eligible employees and retirees. The measurement date for all plans is
December 31.

Pension Plans
The Company has various defined-benefit pension plans covering eligible current and former employees. Benefits under most plans are
based on salary and years of service. Effective December 31, 2005, the Company froze benefit levels for its U.S. defined benefit pension
plans. As a result, participants in the U.S. defined benefit pension plans ceased to earn additional benefits after 2005, although participants
who had not met requirements for vesting continue to accrue vesting service in accordance with the terms of the plans.

The Company’s policy is to fund at least the minimum actuarially determined amounts required by applicable regulations. On September 7,
2007, the Company made a voluntary contribution to its primary U.S. pension plan of $13 million.

The weighted-average assumptions used in determining the net pension cost and benefit obligations for the Company’s pension plans were as

The Company estimates that $2.8 million of experience loss and $1.6 million of prior service cost will be amortized from accumulated other
comprehensive income into net pension cost during 2008.

The actuarial gain in 2007 was primarily due to higher discount rates. The actuarial gain in 2006 is primarily due to an increase in the
discount rate and changes to employee census data.

Information comparing plan assets to plan obligations as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are aggregated below. The ABO differs from the

Based on December 31, 2007, data, assumptions and funding regulations, the Company does not currently plan to make a contribution to the
primary U.S. plan for the plan year 2007. A $13 million contribution was made during the third quarter of 2007 for plan year 2006. There
are limits to the amount of benefits which can be paid to participants from a U.S. qualified pension plan. The Company maintains a
nonqualified U.S. plan to pay benefits for those eligible current and former employees in the U.S. whose benefits exceed the regulatory limits.

The Company expects to contribute approximately $0.9 million to its supplemental U.S. pension plan and $12.5 million to its non-U.S.
pension plans in 2008.

The Company’s projected benefit payments at December 31, 2007, for each of the next five years and the aggregate five years thereafter are

Termination Benefits
The Company periodically restructures operations and is required to pay termination benefits pursuant to contractual or legal requirements.
These termination benefits are recorded pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlement and Curtailments of
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Termination Benefits.

During 2007, one of the Company’s Brink’s European subsidiaries resized its operations and accrued $2.4 million in termination benefits.

During 2006, the Company’s Brink’s Australian subsidiary lost its largest customer. The Company took actions to restructure the subsidiary
in the second and third quarters, and recorded charges of $2.6 million for termination benefits.

During 2005, one of the Company’s Brink’s European subsidiaries resized its operations and accrued $6.1 million in termination benefits.
During 2006, the Company reduced this estimate by $0.4 million.

Multi-employer Pension Plans
The Company contributes to multi-employer pension plans in a few of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. Multi-employer pension expense for
continuing operations was $2.0 million in 2007, $1.8 million in 2006 and $2.9 million in 2005.

In 2006, the Company settled its multi-employer pension withdrawal liabilities related to the Company’s former coal operations and made
final payments to the plans of $20.4 million, resulting in a $9.9 million pretax gain recognized in discontinued operations. During 2005, the
Company reduced its estimated withdrawal liability by $6.1 million and recognized a gain in discontinued operations.

Savings Plans
The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans to help eligible employees provide for retirement. Employees’ eligible
contributions to the primary U.S. 401(k) plan were matched at 125% during 2007 and 2006 and 75% in 2005. Participants were formerly
allowed to invest in common stock of the Company, but during January 2008, all Company stock investments have been reallocated to other
investments. The Company’s matching contribution expense is as follows:

The Company estimates that $8.1 million of experience loss and $0.2 million of prior service credit will be amortized from accumulated other
comprehensive income into net periodic postretirement cost during 2008.

The APBO for each of the plans was determined using the unit credit method and an assumed discount rate as follows:

For Company-sponsored coal-related plans, the assumed health care cost trend rate used to compute the 2007 APBO is 8.2% for 2008,
declining ratably to 5% in 2013 and thereafter (in 2006: 9% for 2007 declining ratably to 5% in 2012 and thereafter). Other plans in the U.S.
provide for fixed-dollar value coverage for eligible participants and, accordingly, are not adjusted for inflation.

The RP-2000 Employee, Annuitant and Combined Healthy Blue Collar mortality tables are primarily used to estimate expected lives of
participants.

The table below shows the estimated effects of a one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates for each future year.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Medicare Act”) provides for a prescription drug benefit
under Medicare as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially
equivalent to Medicare prescription drug benefits. Because of the broadness of coverage provided under the Company’s plan, the Company
believes that the plan benefits are at least actuarially equivalent to the Medicare benefits. The estimated effect of the legislation has been
recorded as a reduction to the APBO, as permitted by FSP 106-1, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. The estimated value of the projected federal subsidy assumes no changes in
participation rates and assumes that the subsidy is received in the year after claims are paid. The estimated reduction in per capita claim costs
for participants over 65 years old was 12%.

The Company’s net periodic postretirement costs were approximately $5.7 million lower in 2007, $6.2 million lower in 2006 and $6.1
million lower in 2005 due to the Medicare Act as a result of lower amortization of losses. The estimated net present value of the subsidy,
reflected as a reduction to the APBO, was approximately $51 million at December 31, 2007, and $61 million at December 31, 2006.

The coal-related plans had an actuarial gain in 2007 primarily related to the increase in the discount rate.

The coal-related plans had an actuarial gain in 2006 primarily related to changes in assumptions for the participation rate for retirees and the
increase in discount rate.

Valuation Allowances
Valuation allowances relate to deferred tax assets in various state and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Based on the Company’s historical and
expected future taxable earnings, and a consideration of available tax-planning strategies, management believes it is more likely than not that
the Company will realize the benefit of the existing deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, at December 31, 2007.

Undistributed Foreign Earnings
As of December 31, 2007, the Company has not recorded U.S. federal deferred income taxes on the majority of the undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 23, Accounting for Income Taxes – Special Areas, as amended.
It is expected that these earnings will be permanently reinvested in operations outside the U.S. It is not practical to compute the estimated
deferred tax liability on these earnings.

The Company repatriated cash of $71.2 million in 2005, including $22.4 million related to BAX Gobal’s non-U.S. subsidiaries, under the
repatriation provision of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“AJCA”). The Company recognized $3.6 million of additional income tax
expense in 2005, including $0.7 million included as a component of discontinued operations, related to the repatriation.

Net Operating Losses
The gross amount of the net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2007, was $193.8 million. The tax benefit of net operating loss
carryforwards, before valuation allowances, as of December 31, 2007 was $51.2 million, and expires as follows:

Uncertain Tax Positions
As described in note 1, effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $7.0 million,
reducing the amount of unrecognized tax benefits, interest, and penalties and increasing the balance of retained earnings. A reconciliation of
the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007, are potential benefits of approximately $23.5 million that, if
recognized, would impact the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. Also included in the balance of unrecognized tax
benefits at December 31, 2007, are benefits of approximately $2.0 million that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate on income
from discontinued operations.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. Interest and penalties
included in income tax expense amounted to $1.0 million in 2007 and $1.4 million in 2006. Income of $0.3 million was recorded in 2005.
The Company had accrued penalties and interest of $2.4 million at December 31, 2007, and $2.6 million at December 31, 2006.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few
exceptions, as of December 31, 2007, the Company was no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax
examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. However, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits for previously
amended tax returns in the amount of $7.2 million will be recognized by the end of 2008. Additionally, due to statute of limitations
expirations and audit settlements, it is reasonably possible that approximately $3.6 million of currently remaining unrecognized tax positions,
each of which are individually insignificant, may be recognized by the end of 2008.

These acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and
liabilities assumed from these operations are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. The consolidated statements of operations
include the results of operations for each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The results of the acquired operations were not material
to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented.

The purchase prices of recent acquisitions have been preliminarily allocated based on estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. The final valuation of net assets is expected to be completed as soon as possible, but not later than one year from the acquisition
date.

The Company has an unsecured $400 million revolving bank credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with a syndicate of banks. The
Revolving Facility’s interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin, prime rate, or competitive bid. The Revolving Facility allows the
Company to borrow (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over a five-year term ending August 2011. As of December 31,
2007, $381.0 million was available under the Revolving Facility. Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility were denominated in
Canadian dollars as of December 31, 2007, and primarily in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2006.

The margin on LIBOR borrowings, which can range from 0.140% to 0.575% depending on the Company’s credit rating, was 0.270% at
December 31, 2007. When borrowings and letters of credit under the Revolving Facility are in excess of $200 million, the applicable interest
rate is increased by 0.100% or 0.125%. The Company also pays an annual facility fee on the Revolving Facility based on the Company's
credit rating. The facility fee, which can range from 0.060% to 0.175%, was 0.080% as of December 31, 2007.

The Company has an unsecured $150 million credit facility with a bank to provide letters of credit and other borrowing capacity over a five-
year term ending in December 2009 (the “Letter of Credit Facility”). As of December 31, 2007, $13.6 million was available for use under
this revolving credit facility. The Revolving Facility and the multi-currency revolving credit facilities described below are also used for the
issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees.

The Company has three unsecured multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities totaling $93.8 million in available credit at December 31,
2007, of which $66.1 million was unused. In February 2008, the (cid:1)30 million multi-currency facility expired and was not renewed. When
rates are favorable, the Company also borrows from other banks under short-term uncommitted agreements. Various foreign subsidiaries
maintain other secured and unsecured lines of credit and overdraft facilities with a number of banks.

The Company’s Brink’s and BHS subsidiaries have guaranteed the Revolving Facility and the Letter of Credit Facility. The Revolving
Facility, the Letter of Credit Facility and the multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities contain various financial and other covenants.
The financial covenants, among other things, limit the Company’s total indebtedness, limit asset sales, limit the use of proceeds on asset
sales, and provide for minimum coverage of interest costs. The credit agreements do not provide for the acceleration of payments should the
Company’s credit rating be reduced. If the Company were not to comply with the terms of its various loan agreements, the repayment terms
could be accelerated and the commitments could be withdrawn. An acceleration of the repayment terms under one agreement could trigger
the acceleration of the repayment terms under the other loan agreements. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants at
December 31, 2007.

The Company has guaranteed $43.2 million of bonds issued by the Peninsula Ports Authority of Virginia. The guarantee originated as part of
the Company’s former interest in Dominion Terminal Associates, a deep water coal terminal. The Company continues to pay interest on and
guarantee payment of the $43.2 million principal amount and ultimately will have to pay for the retirement of the bonds in accordance with
the terms of the guarantee. The bonds bear a fixed interest rate of 6.0% and mature in 2033. The bonds may mature prior to 2033 upon the
occurrence of specified events such as the determination that the bonds are taxable or the failure of the Company to abide by the terms of its
guarantee.

At December 31, 2007, the Company had undrawn unsecured letters of credit and guarantees totaling $179.4 million, including $136.4
million issued under the Letter of Credit Facility, and $23.0 million issued under the multi-currency revolving bank credit facilities. These
letters of credit primarily support the Company’s obligations under various self-insurance programs and credit facilities.

Fair Value
The fair value of the Company’s floating-rate short-term and long-term debt approximates the carrying amount. The fair value of the
Company’s significant fixed rate long-term debt is described below. Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates
for similar debt instruments at the valuation date.

Note 14 – Operating Leases

The Company leases facilities, vehicles, computers and other equipment under long-term operating and capital leases with varying terms.
Most of the operating leases contain renewal and/or purchase options. The Company expects that in the normal course of business, the
majority of operating leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

As of December 31, 2007, future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases with initial or remaining lease terms in
excess of one year are included below.

The table above includes lease payments for the initial accounting lease term and all renewal periods for most vehicles under operating leases
used in Brink’s and BHS’ U.S. operations. If the Company were to not renew these leases, it would be subject to a residual value guarantee.
The Company’s maximum residual value guarantee was $67.6 million at December 31, 2007. If the Company continues to renew the leases
and pays all of the lease payments for the vehicles that have been included in the above table, this residual value guarantee will reduce to zero
at the end of the final renewal period. In addition, the Company has $4.9 million of maximum guaranteed residuals on another operating
lease.

Net rent expense included in continuing operations amounted to $98.5 million in 2007, $86.8 million in 2006 and $82.0 million in 2005.

Note 15 – Share-Based Compensation Plans

Stock Option Plans
The Company has stock incentive plans to encourage employees and nonemployee directors to remain with the Company and to more closely
align their interests with those of the Company’s shareholders.

The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) permits grants of stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance
stock and other share-based awards. Through December 31, 2007, only stock options have been granted under the 2005 Plan.

The Company has outstanding stock options granted to employees under a prior stock incentive plan, the 1988 Stock Option Plan (the “1988
Plan”). The Company provides stock incentive awards to directors through the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’
Plan”).

General Terms
Options are granted at a price not less than the average quoted market price on the date of grant. All grants to employees in the last three
years under the 2005 Plan have a maximum term of six years and either vest over three years from the date of grant or vest 100% at the end
of the third year. Options granted under the 2005 Plan continue to vest if an employee retires under one of the Company’s pension plans.
Directors’ Plan options are granted with a maximum term of ten years and vest in full at the end of six months.

If a change in control were to occur (as defined in the plan documents), certain options may become immediately vested.

The intrinsic value of a stock option is the difference between the market price of the shares underlying the option and exercise price of the
option. The market price at December 31, 2007, was $59.74 per share. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $17.8 million
($36.42 per share) in 2007, $20.5 million ($27.37 per share) in 2006, and $33.1 million ($22.07 per share) in 2005. Excluding the 2006
modified options, the total fair value of options vested was $7.9 million for 2007, $4.8 million for 2006 and $5.7 million for 2005.

There were 0.9 million shares of exercisable options with a weighted-average exercise price of $26.31 per share at December 31, 2006, and
0.8 million shares of exercisable options with a weighted-average exercise price of $22.77 per share at December 31, 2005.

There are 3.5 million shares underlying options that are authorized, but not yet granted.

109

Method and Assumptions Used to Estimate Fair Value of Options
The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated at the time of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. If a different option-
pricing model had been used, results may have been different.

The fair value of options that vest entirely at the end of a fixed period, generally three years, is estimated using a single option approach and,
except for those granted to employees eligible to retire under one of the Company’s pension plans, is generally amortized on a straight-line
basis over the vesting period. The fair value of options that vest ratably over three years is estimated using a multiple-option approach and,
except for those granted to employees eligible to retire under one of the Company’s pension plans, is generally amortized on a straight-line
basis over each separate vesting period. Options granted under the plans generally provide for continued vesting if the participants were to
elect retirement under one of the Company’s pension plans. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), compensation cost related to new stock option
grants that continue to vest upon retirement is recognized over the period from the grant date to the retirement-eligible date. If the Company
had applied this provision prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), compensation cost would have been $0.9 million lower in 2007 and $1.8
million lower in 2006. A forfeiture rate of 8% was used in 2007 and in 2006 to estimate the number of options for which vesting is not
expected to occur.

The fair value of options granted and modified during the three years ended December 31, 2007, was calculated using the following estimated
weighted-average assumptions. In 2006, the Company recognized compensation expense related to all options held by employees of BAX
Global that were modified to accelerate vesting provisions. The fair value of options accelerated during 2006 was calculated using the noted
estimated weighted-average assumptions.

In conjunction with the sale of BAX Global in the first quarter of 2006, 328,247 options held by BAX Global employees were modified to become
immediately vested. This modification resulted in additional pretax compensation expense of $6.6 million ($4.7 million after tax) and is included in the
calculation of the gain on sale of BAX Global. The weighted-average exercise price of these options was $25.67. All of the accelerated options were
exercised in 2006.

As of December 31, 2007, $4.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to previously granted stock options is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

Other Share-Based Compensation
The Company has a deferred compensation plan that allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation into common stock units.
The plan held 953,953 common stock units at December 31, 2007, and 881,400 common stock units at December 31, 2006. During February
2008, the Company distributed 513,503 shares of common stock to participants who had elected to withdraw vested units from the plan.

Note 16 – Capital Stock

Common Stock
At December 31, 2007, the Company had 100 million shares of common stock authorized and 48.4 million shares issued and outstanding. As
further discussed below, between April 11, 2006 and February 22, 2008, the Company purchased approximately 12.4 million shares of its
common stock for $645.8 million. The shares purchased represented 21% of the 58.7 million shares outstanding on December 31, 2005.

Share Purchase Programs
2006 Program. Following the self-tender offer, the board authorized additional Company common stock purchases of up to $100 million
from time to time as market conditions warranted and as covenants under existing agreements permitted (the “2006 Program”). The 2006
Program did not require any specific number of shares be purchased. Under the 2006 Program, the Company used $100 million to purchase
1,823,118 shares of common stock between May 22 and October 5, 2006, at an average price of $54.85 per share. The Company has no
remaining authority under the 2006 Program.

2007 Program. On September 14, 2007, the Company’s board of directors authorized the purchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s
outstanding common shares (the “2007 Program”). The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and potential share
repurchases will depend on a variety of factors. Under the 2007 Program, the Company used $3.6 million to purchase 60,500 shares of
common stock between December 5, 2007, and December 31, 2007, at an average price of $60.30 per share. As of December 31, 2007, the
Company had $96.4 million under the 2007 Program available to purchase shares. In 2008, through February 22, 2008, another 206,800
shares were purchased for $11.2 million at an average cost of $54.39 per share.

Dividends
The Company paid regular quarterly dividends on its Common Stock during the last three years. On January 25, 2008, the board declared a
regular quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share payable on March 3, 2008. Future dividends are dependent on the earnings, financial
condition, cash flow and business requirements of the Company, as determined by the board of directors. At December 31, 2007,
approximately $120 million of shareholders’ equity was not available for dividends to shareholders due to limitations imposed by the
Company’s Revolving Facility and other lending arrangements (see note 12).

112

Employee Benefits Trust
The Employee Benefits Trust holds shares of the Company’s common stock to fund obligations under compensation and employee benefit
programs that provide for the issuance of stock. The Company issued 2.0 million shares in 2006 and 2.1 million shares in 2005 of common
stock to the Employee Benefits Trust. Prior to 2006, shares held by the Employee Benefits Trust that have not been allocated to employees
were accounted for at fair value as a reduction of shareholders’ equity similar to treasury stock. Beginning in 2006, under SFAS 123(R), the
Company no longer separately reports the Employee Benefits Trust in its consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity and consolidated
balance sheet; it is now offset with capital in excess of par value. Through 2007, shares of common stock were voted by the trustee in the
same proportion as the shares of common stock voted by the Company’s employees participating in the Company’s 401(k) plan. The
Company’s 401(k) plan divested all shares of Company common stock in January 2008. The Company expects to amend the trust in 2008 to
adopt a new method of voting shares held by the trust. Until the trust is amended, shares of the trust will not be voted in matters voted on by
shareholders.

Preferred Stock
At December 31, 2007, the Company has the authority to issue up to 2.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $10 per share.

Series A Preferred Stock Rights Agreement
On September 25, 2007, the “Expiration Date” occurred under the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2003,
between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (successor to Equiserve Trust Company, N.A.), as amended by
Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated September 25, 2006, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Rights
Agreement”). As a result, the Rights Agreement and the rights issued thereunder expired by their own terms and each share of common
stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company no longer is accompanied by a right to purchase, under certain circumstances, one one-
thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company. Prior to expiration, the Rights Agreement gave
holders of common stock the right to purchase Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock if, among other things, a third-party
accumulated more than 15% of the voting rights of all outstanding common stock.

million in 2005.

(b) Revenues of BAX Global were $230.0 million in 2006 (partial year) and $2,899.4 million in 2005. In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, BAX Global ceased depreciating and amortizing long-lived assets after November 2005, the date that
BAX Global was classified as held for sale. Had BAX Global not ceased depreciation and amortization, its pretax income would have been $3.3 million
lower in 2006 and $4.9 million lower in 2005.

BAX Global
On January 31, 2006, the Company sold BAX Global, a wholly owned freight transportation subsidiary, for approximately $1 billion in cash,
resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $587 million ($375 million after tax). The Company has either retained or indemnified the
purchaser for some pre-sale liabilities including those for income taxes and for existing litigation as discussed in note 21. The resolution of
these matters is expected to take several years. BAX Global’s results of operations have been reported as discontinued operations for all
periods presented.

Interest Expense
Interest expense included in discontinued operations was $0.6 million in 2007, $1.3 million in 2006 and $3.1 million in 2005. Interest
expense recorded in discontinued operations includes only interest on third-party borrowings made directly by BAX Global and Brink’s
United Kingdom domestic cash handling operations. The Company has not allocated other consolidated interest expense to discontinued
operations. Discounts and other fees of BAX Global’s accounts receivable securitization program were $2.7 million in 2005.

114

Adjustments to Contingent Assets and Liabilities of Former Operations
Ongoing expenses related to former operations, including expenses related to Company-sponsored postretirement benefit obligations, black
lung obligations, pension obligations and expenditures for legal fees and other administrative activities, are classified within continuing
operations. Adjustments to contingent assets and liabilities related to former operations, including those related to reclamation matters,
worker’s compensation claims, multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liabilities, the Health Benefit Act liabilities and remaining legal
contingencies are reported within discontinued operations.

Federal Black Lung Excise Tax
In 1999, the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia entered a final judgment in favor of the Company, ruling that the Federal
Black Lung Excise Tax (“FBLET”) is unconstitutional as applied to export coal sales. In December 2005, the Company reached a final
settlement agreement related to all remaining claims for FBLET refunds and recorded a pretax gain of $15.1 million.

Other
The Company recorded expenses of $1.7 million in 2007 and $6.2 million in 2005 to reflect an increase in the estimated cost of reclamation
at its former coal mines. Income of $0.6 million was recorded during 2006 to reflect a decrease in estimated costs. The estimate of the cost
of reclamation may change in the future.

Income Taxes Related to Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations include the tax provision or benefit associated with the Company’s BAX Global and other former businesses, and
the resolution of associated contingent tax matters.

The income tax benefit on the pretax loss from discontinued operations in 2007 was lower than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate due to tax
benefits not recognized related to losses at Brink’s United Kingdom domestic cash handling operations.

The effective tax rate in 2006 approximated the U.S. statutory tax rate.

The effective tax rate in 2005 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily as a result of an income tax benefit of $27.4 million
recorded upon the resolution of income tax matters with the Internal Revenue Service related to the former natural resource business. In
addition, the Company recognized a $7.0 million net deferred tax benefit for the excess of the tax basis over the carrying value of the
Company’s investment in BAX Global as a result of its decision to sell BAX Global’s stock.

Note 21 – Other Commitments and Contingencies

Surety Bonds and Letters of Credit
The Company is required by various state and federal laws to provide security with regard to its obligations to pay workers’ compensation
benefits, reclaim lands used for mining by the Company’s former coal operations and satisfy other obligations. As of December 31, 2007, the
Company had outstanding surety bonds with third parties totaling approximately $40.7 million that it has arranged in order to satisfy various
security requirements. Most of these bonds provide financial security for obligations which have already been recorded as liabilities. Surety
bonds are typically renewable on a yearly basis; however, there can be no assurance the bonds will be renewed or that premiums in the future
will not increase.

The Company believes that it has adequate available borrowing capacity under its Letter of Credit Facility and its Revolving Facility to
provide letters of credit or other collateral to secure its obligations if the remaining surety bonds are not renewed.

The Company has issued letters of credit of $136.4 million under its $150 million Letter of Credit Facility, described in “Long-Term Debt”
above. At December 31, 2007, all of these issued letters of credit were being used to secure various obligations.

Former Operations
At December 31, 2007, the Company had obligations of $8.2 million (at net present value) under mineral lease agreements that give it the
right to access and mine coal properties in exchange for required minimum annual payments. These agreements require that the Company
pay royalties to lessors based on production of coal or minimum amounts if coal is not produced.

BAX Global, a former business unit of the Company, is defending a claim related to the apparent diversion by a third party of goods being
transported for a customer. Although BAX Global is defending this claim vigorously and believes that its defenses have merit, it is possible
that this claim ultimately may be decided in favor of the claimant. If so, the Company expects that the ultimate amount of reasonably
possible unaccrued losses could range from $0 to $11 million. The Company has contractually indemnified the purchaser of BAX Global for
this contingency.

Value-added taxes (“VAT”) and customs duties
During 2004, the Company determined that one of its non-U.S. Brink’s business units had not paid customs duties and VAT with respect to
the importation of certain goods and services. The Company was advised that civil and criminal penalties could be asserted for the non-
payment of these customs duties and VAT. Although no penalties have been asserted to date, they could be asserted at any time. The
business unit has provided the appropriate government authorities with an accounting of unpaid customs duties and VAT and has made
payments covering its calculated unpaid VAT. The Company believes that the range of reasonably possible losses is between $0.4 million
and $3.0 million for potential penalties on unpaid VAT and has accrued $0.4 million. The Company believes that the range of possible losses
for unpaid customs duties and associated penalties, none of which has been accrued, is between $0 and $35 million. The Company believes
that the assertion of the penalties on unpaid customs duties would be excessive and would vigorously defend against any such assertion. The
Company does not expect to be assessed interest charges in connection with any penalties that may be asserted. The Company continues to
diligently pursue the timely resolution of this matter and, accordingly, the Company’s estimate of the potential losses could change materially
in future periods. The assertion of potential penalties may be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Purchase Obligations
At December 31, 2007, the Company had noncancelable commitments for $54.2 million in equipment purchases, and information technology
and other services.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the
Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Reference is made to pages 73 and 74 for Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and the Attestation
Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Exhibits – see exhibit index.

Undertaking
For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules governing Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of
1933, the undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall be incorporated by reference into Registrant’s
Registration Statements on Form S-8 Nos. 2-64258, 33-2039, 33-21393, 33-23333, 33-69040, 33-53565, 333-02219, 333-78631, 333-78633,
333-70758, 333-70772, 333-70766, 333-70762 and 333-146673. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

121

Signatures

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, on February 27, 2008.
