Moneybox Group - notes to editors

The Moneybox Group deploys, manages and maintains cash machines (ATMs) in the
UK, Netherlands and Germany. The Group also operates cashless payment and access
control systems in the UK through its G2 subsidiary, which was acquired in March
2004.

Moneybox launched its first convenience ATM in June 1999 and now operates a
network of nearly 2500 ATMs in the UK; the company also has an estate of more
than 150 machines in the Netherlands and more than 175 in Germany. In the UK,
Moneybox's cashless payment and access control systems are used by over 400
customers at more than 1,700 sites.

Moneybox deploys ATMs at points of convenience, with consumers paying a
convenience fee per cash transaction. This enables the ATM to be located in
places that do not attract enough cardholders to support a traditional cash
machine, promoting consumer choice and wider accessibility to their cash.
Virtually every bankcard and credit card is acceptable through Moneybox ATMs as
a result of Moneybox's membership of the LINK network.

The Moneybox ATM estate comprises owned and operated Fully Managed ATMs,
merchant replenished ATMs and ATMs that are managed on behalf of financial
institutions - a sector in which Moneybox is the market leader.

The G2 Group (formerly known as Airtime) was established in 1991. In August
2002, G2 acquired a majority holding in Transacsys plc (a company then listed on
London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (AIM)). Transacsys
(formerly known as Girovend) introduced its cashless payment systems in 1984 and
has supplied access control systems since 1994.

G2 processes ATM, credit and debit card, direct debit, internet and stored value
card transactions. G2 also develops, sells and maintains cashless payment and
access control systems and in 2003 supplied approximately 300,000 smart cards
and 300,000 magnetic stripe cards to the workplace market.
