Interim Management Statement
16 August 2007

The board is pleased  to report on  events, transactions and  trading
since last year end.  Over the period, a number of key contracts have
been  renewed  and  good  progress  made  on  a  number  of  business
initiatives to expand our product offering.

Material events and transactions

As noted in our  annual report, since the  end of our last  financial
year on 25 March 2007 PayPoint acquired Pay Store SRL.  Pay Store  is
a leading  Romanian mobile  top-up supplier  selling both  electronic
top-ups and scratch cards through over 6,000 retail outlets, 4,000 of
which have electronic terminals.   The consideration for the  company
was ¤16 million with the potential  for a further ¤1 million  payable
or recoverable subject to performance post-acquisition.

Terminal sites (excluding Romania) have increased by over 1,000 since
the year end.  We have  renewed contracts with Spar and extended  our
retail coverage  with new  contracts  for multiples  and  independent
retailers.

Five regional transport companies signed contracts with PayPoint, all
of which are exclusive.  Contracts have been concluded with the Light
Agency (Shop Scan Save electronic  vouchers), with Coinstar for  gift
cards and with several  prepay debit card  providers.  Western  Union
money transfer volumes have  continued to grow and  we now have  more
than 500 agents.

Performance[1] for the  period from  26 March to  29 July  2007[2]and
financial position1 as at 29 July 2007[3]

Bill and general payment transaction volume was 95 million (up  28%).
The BBC TV Licence contract, which was exclusive from 1 August  2006,
contributed strongly to this growth.

Mobile volume was 48  million (up 12  %), mainly as  a result of  the
increase in terminals sites.

ATM volume  was 5  million  (up 20  %), mainly  as  a result  of  the
increase in ATMs to 1,979 at 29 July 2007.

The reorganisation and restructuring  of the newly acquired  internet
payment and Romanian businesses are proceeding according to plan.

Earnings to date are in line with market expectations.

After the payment of the consideration  for Pay Store of £10  million
and the final dividend  of £6 million,  net cash at  29 July was  £15
million (including client cash of £7 million).
