Independent Auditors' Report
The Participants of the 1994 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan of The Pittston Company:
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the 1994
Employee Stock Purchase Plan of The Pittston Company (the "Plan") as of December
31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of income and changes in plan
equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the 1994 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan of The Pittston Company as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
income and changes in plan equity for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

1994 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN OF THE PITTSTON COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF PLAN AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following description of the 1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan of The
Pittston Company (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants
should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions. The Plan is an "employee stock purchase plan" within the meaning of
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code")
covering all eligible employees of The Pittston Company and its subsidiaries.
The Plan years begin on January 1 and end on December 31.
Amendment of the Plan
The Plan was amended on July 1, 2000 so that shares of Pittston Common Stock
purchased by participants pursuant to the Plan are directly transferred from the
The Pittston Company Employee Benefits Trust to accounts maintained for each of
the Plan participants by a recordkeeper selected by The Pittston Company.
Transferred shares are not deemed to be assets of the Plan.
Purchase Price and Transfers of Common Stock The purchase price (the "Purchase
Price") for each share of common stock to be purchased under the Plan is 85% of
the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of such share on either (a) the
first day of each six-month period commencing on July 1 or January 1 (the
"Offering Date") or (b) the last day of each six-month period from an Offering
Date (the "Purchase Date"), whichever is less. The Fair Market Value with
respect to shares of common stock is generally defined as the average of the
high and low quoted sales price of a share of such stock on the applicable date
as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Tape.
As of the Purchase Date, with respect to each six-month period from an Offering
Date to and including the Purchase Date (the "Offering Period"), the amount then
in a participant's account is applied to the purchase of the number of whole
shares of common stock determined by dividing such amount by the applicable
Purchase Price. Any amounts remaining at the end of an offering period are
accumulated and used to purchase shares during the next offering period.
The maximum number of shares of Pittston Common Stock which may be issued or
allocated pursuant to the Plan is 984,905 of which 628,911 shares had been
issued as of December 31, 2001.
Eligibility
Generally, any employee of The Pittston Company or a designated subsidiary (a
"Subsidiary") is eligible to participate in the Plan if he or she is customarily
employed for at least 20 hours per week; provided, however, that in the case of
an employee who is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, he or she shall
not be considered an eligible employee unless and until the labor organization
representing such individual has accepted the Plan on behalf of the employees in
the collective bargaining unit. Any such employee shall continue to be an
eligible employee during an approved leave of absence provided such employee's
right to continue employment with The Pittston Company or a Subsidiary upon
expiration of such employee's leave of absence is guaranteed either by statute
or by contract with or a policy of The Pittston Company or a Subsidiary. At
December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Plan had a total of 952 and 685 participants,
respectively.
Participant Contributions
Participants can elect to contribute any whole percentage from 1% up to and
including 10% of their annual base rate of pay, including commissions, but
generally excluding overtime or premium pay ("Compensation"), up to a maximum of
$12,750 per calendar year, provided that the amount withheld by a participant
during the Offering Period does not exceed 50% of such participant's
Compensation
7
determined on the Offering Date. A participant may reduce (but not
increase) the rate of payroll withholding during an Offering Period at any time
prior to the end of such Offering Period for which such reduction is to be
effective. Not more than one reduction may be made in any Offering Period unless
otherwise determined by nondiscriminatory rules. A participant may elect to
cease active participation in the Plan at any time up to the end of an Offering
Period by filing the appropriate form with the committee that administers the
Plan. A participant who elects to cease participation in the Plan may not resume
participation in the Plan until after the expiration of the then current
Offering Period.
No participant shall have a right to purchase shares of common stock if (a) such
participant, immediately after electing to purchase such shares, would own
common stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value
of the stock of The Pittston Company or of any Subsidiary, or (b) the rights of
such participant to purchase common stock under the Plan would accrue at a rate
that exceeds $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such common stock (determined at
the time or times such rights are granted) for each calendar year for which such
rights are outstanding at any time.
Refund to Participants if Terminated
In the event of the termination of a participant's employment for any reason,
including retirement or death, or the failure of a participant to remain
eligible under the terms of the Plan, any amounts credited to such participant's
account will be refunded, without interest, to such individual or, in the event
of his or her death, to his or her legal representative.
Termination or Amendment of the Plan
The Plan will remain in effect until June 30, 2007, unless extended pursuant to
shareholder approval.
The Board of Directors of The Pittston Company may, at any time and from time to
time, amend (including, but not limited to, amendments to the Plan to increase
the Purchase Price), modify or terminate the Plan, but no such amendment or
modification without the approval of the shareholders shall: (a) increase the
maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to the
Plan; (b) permit the issuance of any shares of common stock at a purchase price
less than that provided in the Plan as approved by the shareholders; (c) extend
the term of the Plan; or (d) cause the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of
an "employee stock purchase plan" under the Code.
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Prior to July 1, 2000, the investments in Pittston Common Stock, Brink's Stock,
BAX Stock and Minerals Stock were valued at their quoted market price. Purchases
and sales of stock until July 1, 2000 were recorded on a trade-date basis.
Dividends were recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Distributions
Prior to July 2000, distributions were recognized when payable and were recorded
at the fair market value of shares dispersed.
Income Taxes
The Plan, and the rights of participants to make purchases thereunder, is
intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of
the Code. The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. Pursuant
to Section 423 of the Code, no income (other than dividends) will be taxable to
a participant until disposition of the shares purchased under the Plan. Upon the
disposition of the shares, the participant will generally be subject to tax and
the amount and character of the tax will depend upon the holding period.
Dividends received on shares held by the Plan on behalf of a participant are
8
taxable to the participant as ordinary income. Therefore, the Plan does not
provide for income taxes.
Administrative Costs
All administrative costs incurred by the Plan are paid by The Pittston Company.
NOTE 2. COMMON STOCK
After the July 1, 2000 amendment of the Plan, shares of Pittston Common Stock
purchased by participants pursuant to the Plan are directly transferred from the
Pittston Employee Benefits Trust of The Pittston Company to accounts maintained
for each of the Plan participants and are not deemed to be assets of the Plan.
The cost values of investments under the Plan are calculated using an average
cost methodology.
NOTE 3. UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) ON COMMON STOCK
After the July 1, 2000 amendment of the Plan, shares of Pittston Common Stock
are not deemed to be assets of the Plan.
Changes in unrealized appreciation and depreciation during 2000 (through June
30, 2000) and 1999 on common stock of the Plan were as follows:

NOTE 5. THE 2000 EXCHANGE
On December 6, 1999, The Pittston Company announced that its Board of Directors
approved the elimination of the tracking stock capital structure by an exchange
(the "Exchange") of all outstanding shares of BAX Group Common Stock ("BAX
Stock") and Minerals Group Common Stock ("Minerals Stock") for Brink's Group
Common Stock ("Brink's Stock"). The Exchange took place on January 14, 2000 (the
"Exchange Date"). On the Exchange Date, holders of BAX Stock received 0.4848
shares of Brink's Stock for each share of their BAX Stock; and holders of
Minerals Stock received 0.0817 shares of Brink's Stock for each share of their
Minerals Stock. The exchange ratios for the BAX Stock and the Minerals Stock
were calculated pursuant to the formula fixed and approved by shareholders of
The Pittston Company at the time of the creation of the three classes of
tracking stock in 1993 and 1996. The formula provides that shareholders of BAX
Stock and Minerals Stock are entitled to receive Brink's Stock with a Fair
Market Value equal to 115% of the Fair Market Value of BAX Stock and Minerals
Stock, as applicable. The "Fair Market Value" of each class of common stock was
determined by taking the average of the closing prices of that class of common
stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days beginning 30
business days prior to the first public announcement of the exchange proposal,
which occurred on December 6, 1999. From and after the Exchange Date, Brink's
Stock is the only outstanding class of common stock of The Pittston Company and
continues to trade under the symbol "PZB". Shares of Brink's Stock after the
Exchange are referred to as "Pittston Common Stock."
Pursuant to the Exchange, the Plan was amended to provide that all future issues
or allocations to the Plan would be made solely in Pittston Common Stock and
that all stock held in the Plan would be converted to shares of Pittston Common
Stock. On the Exchange Date, a total of 102,479 shares of BAX
10
Stock and a total of 211,409 shares of Minerals Stock, were converted to 49,681
and 17,272, shares, respectively, of Pittston Common Stock.
NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In February 2002, 48,210 shares of Pittston Common Stock were transferred from
the The Pittston Company Employee Benefits Trust to participants' accounts,
reflecting a price of $18.60. The transfer was for whole shares purchased with
participant contributions made during the last six months of the Plan year ended
December 31, 2001.
