THE BRINK'S COMPANY
and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
The Brink's Company (along with its subsidiaries, the "Company") has two
operating segments:
o Brink's, Incorporated ("Brink's")
o Brink's Home Security, Inc. ("BHS")
In January 2006, the Company sold BAX Global Inc. ("BAX Global"), a wholly owned
freight transportation subsidiary of the Company, for approximately $1.1 billion
in cash. Accordingly, BAX Global's results of operations have been reported as
discontinued operations for all periods presented. BAX Global's assets and
liabilities at December 31, 2005, have been classified as held for sale.
The Company also has significant liabilities associated with its former coal
operations and expects to have significant ongoing expenses and cash outflows
related to these operations.
The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for
interim financial reporting and applicable quarterly reporting regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated
financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by
GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Certain prior-period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current period's financial statement
presentation. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further
information, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005.
In accordance with 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 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." 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.
6
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 in 2006,
and based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for unvested awards granted prior to
2006. Under SFAS 123(R), cash flows from the tax benefit of tax deductions in
excess of the compensation cost recognized 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. See note 6 for more information.
Accounting standards not yet adopted In July 2006, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the "FASB") issued FASB Interpretation 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes--an interpretation of SFAS 109." 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. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will be required to adopt this
interpretation in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Management is currently
evaluating the requirements of this interpretation and has not yet determined
the impact on the consolidated financial statements.

As described in note 1, on January 31, 2006, the Company sold BAX Global for
approximately $1.1 billion in cash. In the six months ended June 30, 2006, the
Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $588 million ($377 million after
tax) on the sale, including $3.7 million ($2.4 million after tax) in the second
quarter of 2006. The Company has either retained or indemnified the purchaser
for certain costs and contingencies including those for taxes and for a matter
currently in litigation as discussed in note 13. 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. The following table shows selected financial
information included in discontinued operations for the month ended January 31,
2006 and the three and six months ended June 30, 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
in January 2006 would have been $3.7 million.
Interest expense included in discontinued operations was $0.2 million in January
2006, and $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 and $0.9 million in the
first six months of 2005. Interest expense recorded in discontinued operations
includes only interest on third-party borrowings made directly by BAX Global.
The Company has not allocated other consolidated interest expense to
discontinued operations.
Note 3 - Capital stock
Dutch Auction
On March 8, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a "Dutch Auction"
self-tender offer to purchase up to 10,000,000 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 SEC. 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 $0.6 million in
costs associated with the repurchase.
Other repurchases
The Company has been authorized by the Board to make repurchases of up to $100
million of additional common stock from time to time as market conditions
warrant and as covenants under existing agreements permit. The repurchase
program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares
and may be terminated at any time. Through June 30, 2006, the Company
repurchased 648,000 shares at an average $54.16 per share for a total of $35.1
million under this program. From July 1, 2006, to July 31, 2006, the Company
purchased 369,300 shares at an average price of $55.19 per share for a total of
$20.4 million under this program. The Company has $44.5 million remaining
authority under the program as of July 31, 2006.
Note 4 - Long-term debt
The Company made scheduled payments of $18.3 million in January 2006 related to
its Senior Notes. On March 31, 2006, the Company prepaid in full the outstanding
$58.4 million balance of its Senior Notes and made a make-whole payment of $1.6
million. The Senior Notes were cancelled upon prepayment.
Note 5 - Marketable securities
At June 30, 2006, the Company had marketable securities of $99.2 million
including $75.9 million of variable-rate demand notes issued by government
agencies. The interest rates on the variable-rate demand notes adjust
periodically, usually every 7 days, based on market conditions. The Company
generally can redeem the notes for face value on each interest rate adjustment
date. The Company accounts for the marketable securities in accordance with SFAS
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." These
marketable securities have been classified as available-for-sale securities and
are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, if any, are recognized
in other comprehensive income (loss) and realized gains and losses are
recognized in earnings. Unrealized gains and losses reclassified from
accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings were not significant for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Note 6 - Share-based compensation plans
In May 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2005 Equity Incentive
Plan (the "2005 Plan") as the successor plan to the 1988 Stock Option Plan (the
"1988 Plan"). As a result, options will no longer be granted under the 1988
Plan. The 2005 Plan permits grants of options and also allows for grants of
restricted stock and restricted stock units as well as performance units and
other share-based awards. No share-based awards other than stock options have
been granted under the 2005 Plan. The Company also has a Non-Employee Directors'
Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan").
Options are granted at a price not less than the average quoted market price on
the date of grant. All grants in the last three years under the 2005 Plan and
the 1988 Plan have a maximum term of six years and generally either vest over
three years from the date of grant or vest 100% at the end of the third year.
Directors' Plan options are granted with a maximum term of ten years and vest in
full at the end of six months. There are 4.6 million shares underlying options
that are authorized, but not yet granted. The Company uses shares from The
Brink's Company Employee Benefits Trust ("Employee Benefits Trust") for stock
option exercises. Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
has the right to amend, suspend, or terminate the 1988 Plan or 2005 Plan at any
time by action of the Company's Board of Directors.

As discussed in note 1, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. The
effect of adopting SFAS 123(R) on the consolidated statements of operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, is as follows:

(a) 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 ($4.8 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. As of June 30,
2006, all of the accelerated options had been exercised.
The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings
per share if the fair value based method under SFAS 123 had been applied in the

=============================================================================================================
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.
10
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 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 generally amortized on a straight-line basis over each separate
vesting period. Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), compensation cost related to new
stock option grants that vest upon a participant reaching retirement eligibility
is recognized over the period from the grant date up to the retirement-eligible
date. If the Company had applied this provision prior to the adoption of 123(R),
compensation cost would have been $0.6 million lower in the second quarter of
2006 and $1.1 million lower in the first six months of 2006.
There were no options granted or modified in the first six months of 2005 or in
the second quarter of 2006. In the first quarter of 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
granted and the fair value of options accelerated during the first quarter of
2006 were calculated using the following estimated weighted-average assumptions.
Options Options

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of shares underlying options, in thousands 10 328
Weighted-average exercise price per share $ 49.02 25.67

Forfeiture rate 8% -
Weighted-average fair value estimates at grant date and modification
date, respectively:
In millions $ 0.2 6.6
Fair value per share $ 15.27 20.11
=======================================================================================================
The expected dividend yield was calculated by annualizing the cash dividend
declared by the Company for the most recent period equal to the expected term
and dividing that result by the closing stock price on the date of declaration.
Dividends are not paid on options.
The expected volatility was estimated after reviewing the historical volatility
of the Company's stock using daily close prices.
The risk-free interest rate was based on yields on U.S. Treasury debt at the
time of the grant.
The expected term of the options was based on the Company's historical option
exercise data and historical post-vesting exercise behavior.

A summary of option activity under the plans for the six months ended June 30,
2006, is presented below:
Weighted-Average Aggregate

Outstanding at June 30, 2006 1,762 $ 29.68 4.1 $ 47.1
=================================================================================================================
Of the above, as of June 30, 2006:
Exercisable 567 $ 23.63 3.4 $ 18.6
Expected to vest in future periods (a) 1,126 $ 32.37 4.4 $ 27.1
=================================================================================================================
(a) The number of options expected to vest takes into account an estimate of
expected forfeitures.
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. During the
six months ended June 30, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options
exercised was $15.4 million.
As of June 30, 2006, $3.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost
related to previously granted stock options is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 0.9 years.
Pursuant to the terms of the Director's Plan, the directors were automatically
granted options to purchase 40,000 common shares on July 3, 2006, with an
exercise price of $56.52 per share. The Company granted employees options to
purchase 550,000 common shares on July 13, 2006, with an exercise price of
$55.09 per share under the 2005 Plan. As mentioned previously, options are
granted at a price not less than the average quoted market price on the date of
grant.
Note 7 - Earnings per share
Basic and diluted weighted-average share information used to compute the
Company's earnings per common share was as follows:
Three Months Six Months
Ended June 30, Ended June 30,
(In millions) 2006 2005 2006 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average shares outstanding:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diluted 49.8 56.6 54.0 56.5
================================================================================
Shares of the Company's common stock held by the Employee Benefits Trust that
have not been allocated to employees 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 Trust held 0.5
million unallocated shares at June 30, 2006, and 2.5 million unallocated shares
at June 30, 2005. In July 2006, the Company's board of directors approved the
issuance of 2.0 million shares to the Trust.
There were no significant antidilutive stock options excluded from the
calculation of diluted shares in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005.
12
Under Virginia law, shares of common stock purchased by the Company are treated
as authorized but unissued shares instead of being held as treasury shares.
Note 8 - Segment information
The Company conducts business in two operating segments: Brink's and BHS. These
reportable 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 offers services globally including armored car transportation, automated
teller machine ("ATM") replenishment and servicing, currency and deposit
processing, including its "Cash Logistics" operations, coin sorting and
wrapping, arranging the secure air transportation of valuables ("Global
Services"), the deploying and servicing of safes and safe control devices,
including its patented CompuSafe(R) service, and transporting, sorting, and
destroying sensitive information ("Secure Data Solutions"). Brink's operates in
approximately 50 countries.
BHS offers monitored security services in North America primarily for
owner-occupied, single-family residences. To a lesser extent, BHS offers
security services for commercial properties. BHS typically installs and owns the
on-site security systems, and charges fees to monitor and service the systems.

Note 9 - Pension and other postretirement benefits
Pension
The Company has various defined benefit plans for eligible employees.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company froze benefit levels for its U.S. defined
benefit pension plans. As a result, participants in The Brink's Company Pension
Retirement Plan and The Brink's Company Pension Equalization Plan ceased to earn
additional benefits. However, participants who had earned benefits through
December 31, 2005, but had not met requirements for vesting will continue to
accrue vesting service in accordance with terms of the plans. In addition, on
January 1, 2006, the Company increased the matching contribution under The
Brink's Company 401(k) plan from 75% to 125% of the first 5% of compensation
saved.
13
With the sale of BAX Global, the Company has retained the obligations and assets
related to the participation of BAX Global's employees in the Company's U.S.
pension plans. Pension obligations and assets of BAX Global's non-U.S.
subsidiaries have been assumed by the purchaser. Pension expenses for BAX Global
employees for 2005 and January 2006 have been included in discontinued
operations. After January 31, 2006, the date of sale, pension expense related to
participation by BAX Global employees in U.S. pension plans has been included in
continuing operations within costs of former operations.
The net pension cost for the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans was as

Based on December 31, 2005, assumptions and funding regulations, the Company is
not required to make a contribution to the primary U.S. plan in 2006. No
decision has been made as to whether or not a voluntary contribution will be
made to the primary U.S. pension plan during 2006. The Company made
contributions to its non-U.S. pension plans of $1.9 million in the second
quarter of 2006 and $3.0 million in the first six months of 2006. The Company
expects to contribute approximately $5.8 million in total to its non-U.S.
pension plans in 2006.

Other postretirement benefits
Company-Sponsored Plans
The Company provides certain postretirement benefits (the "Company-sponsored
plans") for eligible active and retired employees in the U.S. and Canada of the
Company's current and former businesses, including eligible participants of
former coal operations (the "coal-related" plans). The U.S. postretirement
obligations related to BAX Global were assumed by the purchaser in January 2006.
BAX Global's postretirement expenses prior to February 2006 have been included
in discontinued operations. The components of net periodic postretirement costs
related to Company-sponsored plans were as follows:

sale of BAX Global. This VEBA has been restricted to pay benefits associated
with coal-related plans. The balance of the VEBA is now in excess of the
liability previously recorded under GAAP. The excess, amounting to $106.7
million as of June 30, 2006, is recorded as a noncurrent asset - prepaid
postretirement benefits other than pensions.

Note 12 - Income taxes
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first six months
of 2006 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to $5.9
million of state tax expense and a net increase in the valuation allowance. The
Company establishes or reverses valuation allowances for non-U.S. deferred tax
assets depending on all available information including historical and expected
future operating performance of its subsidiaries. During the second quarter of
2006, the Company established a $2.2 million valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets related to the Brink's Australia operations. Pretax losses in other
non-U.S. jurisdictions where the Company had previously concluded that valuation
allowances were necessary also increased the effective income tax rate since no
tax benefits for these losses were recognized.
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the second quarter and
first half of 2005 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due
to the establishment of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets related to
certain Brink's European operations and state taxes.
Note 13 - Contingencies
Value-added taxes 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.
Health Benefit Act
The Company is obligated to pay premiums to the United Mine Workers of America
("UMWA") Combined Benefit Fund, as described in the Company's 2005 Annual Report
on Form 10-K. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $172.3 million recorded for the
obligation, reflecting the recorded liability at December 31, 2005, less
payments made in 2006 and $1.1 million of expense recorded in the first six
months of 2006 to reflect a slight increase in the number of beneficiaries.
17
Indemnification of claim against BAX Global
BAX Global 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 $9 million. The Company has
contractually indemnified the purchaser of BAX Global for this contingency.
Withdrawal liabilities
The Company settled its withdrawal liabilities with two coal industry
multi-employer pension plans and made final payments to the plans of $20.4
million in July 2006. A pretax benefit of $9.9 million related to this
settlement was recorded within discontinued operations during the second quarter
of 2006.
Other loss contingencies
The Company recorded expense of $4.8 million in the first six months of 2005 to
reflect an increase in the estimated cost of reclamation at its former coal
mines. The estimate of the cost of reclamation may change in the future. The
Company also has other contingent liabilities, primarily related to former
operations, including those for expected settlement of coal-related workers'
compensation claims.
Gain contingency - insurance claims
The Company expects to file insurance claims of $7.5 million to $9.0 million
related to property damage and business interruption insurance coverage for
losses sustained from Hurricane Katrina for Brink's and BHS. As of June 30,
2006, the Company has recorded a receivable of $1.8 million for claims to be
filed, which equals the amount of hurricane-related property losses recognized
to date. Because the Company's property damage insurance coverage provides for
replacement value, the Company expects to record proceeds in excess of realized
losses when the claims are ultimately settled. Payment for lost revenues under
business interruption coverage will be recognized as operating income when the
claims are settled.

THE BRINK'S COMPANY
and Subsidiaries
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
================================================================================
OPERATIONS
================================================================================
The Brink's Company (along with its subsidiaries, the "Company") has two
operating segments:
o Brink's, Incorporated ("Brink's") Brink's offers services globally
including armored car transportation,
automated teller machine ("ATM")
replenishment and servicing, currency
and deposit processing, including its
"Cash Logistics" operations, coin
sorting and wrapping, arranging the
secure air transportation of valuables
("Global Services"), deploying and
servicing of safes and safe control
devices, including its patented
CompuSafe(R) service, and
transporting, sorting, and destroying
sensitive information ("Secure Data
Solutions").
o Brink's Home Security, Inc. ("BHS") BHS offers monitored security services
in North America primarily for
owner-occupied, single-family
residences. To a lesser extent, BHS
offers security services for
commercial properties. BHS typically
` installs and owns the on-site home
security systems and charges fees to
monitor and service the systems.
19
On January 31, 2006, the Company sold BAX Global Inc. ("BAX Global"), a wholly
owned freight transportation subsidiary, for approximately $1.1 billion in cash
and has recorded a pretax gain of approximately $588 million. The Company
initially retained ownership of Air Transport International, LLC ("ATI"), BAX
Global's former airline subsidiary, pending receipt of required regulatory
approvals. Regulatory approval was obtained and ATI was sold for nominal
consideration plus the assumption of certain liabilities on February 28, 2006.
The Company used the after-tax proceeds as follows:
o On January 31, 2006, the Company contributed $225 million to a Voluntary
Employees' Beneficiary Association trust ("VEBA") designated to pay retiree
medical obligations to former coal operations employees;
o On March 31, 2006, the Company paid $60 million to settle outstanding
Senior Notes including a make-whole payment of $1.6 million;
o During the first half of 2006, the Company reduced other debt by
approximately $73 million;
o On April 11, 2006, the Company repurchased approximately 10.4 million
shares of the Company's common stock at $51.20 per share for approximately
$530 million.
o Through July 31, 2006, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million
additional shares of the Company's common stock at an average $54.53 per
share in open-market transactions for $55.5 million.
o In June 2006, the Company paid $32 million of its estimated $59 million
2006 U.S. income tax liability. The Company has not owed U.S. income taxes
in the past several years primarily due to deductions generated by retiree
benefit payments related to the former coal operations. The Company expects
to recognize a large gain on its 2006 U.S. income tax return as a result of
the sale of BAX Global.
o In July 2006, the Company paid $20.4 million to settle obligations
related to the withdrawal from two multi-employer pension plans.
In the future, the Company currently expects to:
o Pay additional U.S. income taxes related to the sale of BAX Global
o Repurchase additional common stock
o Support future growth and other activities of the Company
BAX Global's results of operations have been reported within discontinued
operations for all periods reported. The Company has either retained or
indemnified the purchaser for certain liabilities and contingencies.
The Company has significant obligations associated with its former coal
operations and expects to have significant ongoing expenses and cash outflows
related to these obligations. The Company has funded a significant portion of
the postretirement medical benefit obligation related to its former coal
operations through its VEBA. The value of the VEBA's assets at June 30, 2006,
was approximately $418 million, including the previously mentioned January 31,
2006, contribution of $225 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview
Three Months Six Months

Discontinued operations 9.5 13.1 388.7 16.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income $ 30.7 15.3 434.1 28.9
================================================================================
The income items in the above table are reported after tax.
Income from continuing operations improved in the second quarter and first half
of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 primarily due to higher operating
profit for Brink's and a lower effective income tax rate in 2006. Brink's
operating profit was higher in the 2006 periods in North America and
International operations. The lower effective income tax rate in 2006 resulted
from lower tax expense associated with changes in judgments about valuation
allowances for deferred tax assets. BHS's operating profit continued to improve
in the 2006 periods over 2005 primarily due to subscriber growth.
Former operations expense and interest expense were lower in the second quarter
and first half of 2006 compared to the prior year periods. Former operations
expense was lower as a result of the contribution made in the first quarter of
2006 to the VEBA with proceeds from the sale of BAX Global. Interest expense
decreased in the 2006 periods as a result of lower debt levels.
Corporate expense and, to a lesser extent, operating profit at Brink's and BHS
each include charges for stock-based compensation in the 2006 periods as a
result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. No charges for stock options
were recorded in 2005.
Income from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2006 includes a
$9.9 million pretax benefit on the settlement of withdrawal liabilities related
to two coal industry multi-employer pension plans. It also includes a $3.7
million favorable adjustment to the pretax gain on the sale of BAX Global as a
result of subsequent adjustments to the purchase price. Including the
adjustments to the purchase price recorded in the second quarter of 2006, income
from discontinued operations in the first half of 2006 included a $588.3 million
pretax gain on the sale of BAX Global.

Revenues
Brink's revenues in both quarters of 2006 increased over the prior-year periods
primarily due to growth in existing operations. Brink's revenues were also
bolstered in the first quarter of 2006 by acquisitions made in Europe during the
second quarter of 2005. BHS' revenues grew year-over-year primarily as a result
of the larger subscriber base.
Operating Profit
The Company's operating profit in the second quarter and first half of 2006
improved over 2005 primarily as a result of better performance by Brink's and
lower former operations expense.
Brink's regional operating profit in the 2006 periods compared to 2005 was
higher in North America, Europe and South America, but was lower in
Asia-Pacific. North America's operating profit improved on lower employee
benefit costs, partially due to freezing the U.S. pension plan, as described
more fully below. Brink's favorable operating profit comparisons in Europe
partially stemmed from restructuring charges taken last year, principally in the
second quarter. The prior-year charges were associated with scaling back
operations in Belgium and the Netherlands to reflect reductions in business
volume levels. Operating profit in South America improved from the prior-year
periods as a result of strong growth in business volumes. Operating profit in
the Asia-Pacific region included $3.4 million of restructuring charges taken in
the second quarter of 2006 associated with scaling back operations in Australia
after the loss of a locally significant customer. Approximately $1.5 million of
additional charges are expected to be recorded in the third quarter of 2006 as
leased facilities are vacated. Brink's operations around the world benefited
from lower safety and security expenses in the 2006 periods.
22
BHS' operating profit improved in the 2006 periods due to incremental revenues
and cost efficiencies generated from the larger subscriber base, partially
offset by higher costs for a new monitoring facility in Tennessee.
Expenses related to former operations were $4.7 million lower in the second
quarter of 2006 compared to the same period last year ($11.0 million lower in
the first half of 2006) primarily due to lower postretirement medical expenses,
which benefited from projected earnings on the $225 million contribution to the
VEBA on January 31, 2006.
The following items also had an impact on the comparability of operating profit
for the second quarter and the first half of 2006 compared to 2005.
o As mentioned in note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company froze pension benefit levels for its U.S. defined benefit pension
plans effective January 1, 2006, and concurrently enhanced benefits for its
U.S. defined contribution plan participants. The Company's net expense was
$3.6 million lower in the second quarter of 2006 ($8.5 million in the first
half of 2006) compared to 2005 as a result of these changes. These changes
will continue to impact year-over-year comparisons for the balance of the
year.
o On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified
prospective transition method and recognized share-based compensation
expense in continuing operations before income taxes of $1.5 million ($0.02
per diluted share after tax) in the second quarter of 2006 and $3.0 million
($0.03 per diluted share after tax) in the first half of 2006. Share-based
compensation expenses were $0.5 million at Brink's, $0.2 million at BHS and
$0.8 million at Corporate in the second quarter of 2006 and $0.9 million at
Brink's, $0.5 million at BHS and $1.6 million at Corporate in the first
half of 2006. The Company expects share-based compensation expense in
continuing operations before income taxes for 2006 to be approximately $11
million including approximately $6 million expected in the third quarter of
2006. Under the modified prospective transition method, prior periods were
not restated. See notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements
for further information regarding the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

Supplemental Consolidated Revenue Analysis
The following table provides 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 above 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 to
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 and
volume of a unit's 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.
24
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 changing 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 did
not materially affect period-to-period comparisons of segment operating profit
for the periods presented herein. Relative to the Canadian dollar, the U.S.
dollar weakened in the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in
2005. Relative to most European currencies relevant to the Company, the U.S.
dollar strengthened in the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period
in 2005, and was relatively unchanged in the second quarter versus the
prior-year period. The U.S. dollar also weakened relative to most South American
currencies, except for Venezuela's, in the second quarter and first six months
of 2006 versus the same periods last year. The U.S. dollar strengthened relative
to most Asia-Pacific currencies, except Hong-Kong, in the second quarter and
first six months of 2006 versus the same periods last year.

Overview
Revenues at Brink's were higher in the second quarter of 2006 and first half of
2006 compared to the prior-year periods primarily as a result of the effects of
core business growth. Operating profit in the second quarter and first half of
2006 was higher than the same periods in 2005 largely as a result of strong
performance in North America and South America, lower employee benefit expenses
in the U.S. and lower global safety and security expenses. Operating profit in
Europe exceeded the prior-year periods, which included significant restructuring
charges.
Brink's fuel costs increased significantly during 2006 due to market conditions,
however, operating profit has not been significantly affected as fuel surcharges
to customers have recovered the majority of these cost increases. Brink's
believes fuel cost may continue to increase during the second half of 2006
depending on the market for fuel. Brink's ability to recover further increases
in fuel costs through fuel surcharges could affect future operating profit
levels.
25
The Company expects Brink's to generate operating profit margins approaching 7%
in 2006.
North America
Revenues increased to $205.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to
$192.2 million from the same period last year, an increase of 7% (5% on a
constant currency basis). Revenues in the first half of 2006 increased to $406.8
million from $378.2 million in the first half of 2005, an increase of 8% (6% on
a constant currency basis). North America revenues increased in the second
quarter and first half of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 with
improvements in the armored transportation line of business, Global Services and
Cash Logistics, each as a result of higher volumes. Operating profit in the
second quarter and first half of 2006 improved compared to the same periods last
year partially as a result of the higher revenues, but primarily as a result of
lower expenses related to pensions, other employee benefits, and safety and
security costs. In addition, operating profit in the second quarter of 2005 was
reduced by $1.7 million related to an adjustment to record lease expense on a
straight-line basis for certain leases with fixed rent escalation clauses.
Compared to prior-year periods, pension expense was $4.3 million lower in the
second quarter of 2006 and $8.7 lower in the first half of 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 $1.4 million increase
in the expense associated with the U.S. defined contribution plans in the second
quarter of 2006 and $2.5 million in the first half of 2006 as these benefits
were enhanced. Net expenses at Brink's are expected to be between $12 million
and $13 million lower for the full year of 2006 compared to 2005.
International
Revenues increased in the second quarter and first half of 2006 over the
prior-year periods in all international regions. Higher revenues in South
America and Asia-Pacific were primarily due to organic revenue growth. Higher
revenues in Europe in the first half of 2006 were primarily the result of
acquisitions. International operating profit in the second quarter and first
half of 2006 was higher than the 2005 periods primarily due to the effects of
strong volumes in South America, globally lower safety and security costs and
lower restructuring charges.
Europe. Revenues increased to $255.4 million in the second quarter of 2006
compared to $243.5 million from the same period last year, an increase of 5% (5%
on a constant currency basis). Revenues in the first half of 2006 increased to
$493.9 million from $467.4 million in the first half of 2006, an increase of 6%
(11% on a constant currency basis). Revenues in the first half of 2006 were
higher primarily as a result of reporting revenues of newly acquired companies
beginning at the date the businesses were acquired. Brink's acquired operations
in Luxembourg, Scotland and Ireland in the first quarter of 2005, and Poland,
Hungary, and the Czech Republic in the second quarter of 2005. These
acquisitions increased revenues by $24.8 million in the first half of 2006
compared to the same period last year but did not have a significant impact on
operating profit.
Operating profit was higher in the second quarter and first half of 2006
compared to prior-year periods primarily due to restructuring charges recorded
in the second quarter of 2005. Most of these charges related to the Company's
Belgian operations. Such charges have not been needed in Europe in 2006 and the
actions leading to such charges in 2005 have improved operational performance.
26
South America. Revenues increased to $107.3 million in the second quarter of
2006 from $83.0 million in the second quarter of 2005, an increase of 29% (26%
on a constant currency basis). Revenues in the first half of 2006 increased to
$208.0 million from $165.1 million in the first half of 2005, a 26% increase
(22% on a constant currency basis). Revenues increased primarily due to higher
volumes across the region. Operating profit in the second quarter and first half
of 2006 was more than double that of the same periods for 2005 primarily due to
the above-mentioned volume increases, particularly in Venezuela, Colombia and
Chile, and pricing improvement and volume increases in Brazil.
The Company expects operating profit margins in South America in the second half
to moderate as a result of increased costs.
Asia-Pacific. Revenues increased to $19.6 million in the second quarter of 2006
from $18.0 million in the second quarter of 2005, an increase of 9% (11% on a
constant currency basis). Revenues in the first six months of 2006 increased to
$38.0 million from $35.2 million in the first six months of 2005, an increase of
8% (11% on a constant currency basis). Revenues increased primarily due to
stronger performance of the Global Service operations in Hong Kong and Japan.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company's Australian operation lost its
largest customer. The Company began to restructure the operation and recorded
charges of $3.4 million in the second quarter. The charges principally related
to paying or accruing for severance payments to employees no longer needed as a
result of the lower business levels. The Company expects to vacate certain
leased branches in the third quarter as the restructuring process is completed.
As a result, approximately $1.5 million of additional restructuring charges are
expected in the second half of 2006.
Excluding the restructuring charges recorded in the second quarter of 2006,
Asia-Pacific operating profit in the second quarter and first half of 2006 was
about the same as 2005, reflecting improved performance, offset by higher
regional expenses.

months of 2006). Capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2005 included
$10.2 million for the purchase of BHS's headquarters in Irving, Texas. The
facility was formerly leased.
Revenues
The increase in BHS' revenues in the second quarter and first half of 2006 over
the comparable 2005 periods was primarily due to a larger subscriber base and
slightly higher average monitoring rates. These factors also contributed to a
13% increase in monthly recurring revenues measured in June 2006 as compared to
June 2005. The Company intends to selectively raise monitoring prices in the
future.
Operating profit
Operating profit increased $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2006 and $2.1
million in the first half of 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 as higher
profit from recurring services was partially offset by increased investment in
new subscribers. Higher profit from recurring services in the first half of 2006
was primarily due to increased revenues and cost efficiencies generated from the
larger subscriber base partially offset by incremental operating costs for the
new Knoxville facility and loss of revenue from subscribers who disconnected as
a result of Hurricane Katrina. Higher investment in new subscribers was
primarily due to slightly higher unit expenses, which included fuel and copper
costs, partially offset by selective price increases.
28
BHS continues to increase its presence in commercial alarm installation and
monitoring and increase the volume of its installation business in new homes
through its expanding relationships with major home builders. As a result, the
cost of investment in new subscribers may continue to grow faster than
installations as BHS develops the resources needed to achieve its business
objectives.
The construction of a second monitoring center in Knoxville, Tennessee, is
complete and the facility began operations on February 28, 2006. Operating the
new facility has resulted in additional administrative expense. The Knoxville
center provides additional service capacity for the existing subscriber base,
increased capacity to sustain BHS' continued growth and enhanced security and
disaster recovery capabilities. These initiatives are expected to have a
positive impact on future growth and productivity.
Rising fuel costs and copper prices during 2006 have not significantly affected
operating profit primarily because a large portion of these costs are
capitalized as part of the cost of installing new monitoring sites. If fuel and
copper costs remain high, and BHS is not able to increase prices, margins in the
future could be affected.

===========================================================================================
(a) Customers who move from one location and then initiate a new monitoring
agreement at a new location are not included in either installations or
disconnects. Dealer accounts cancelled and charged back to the dealer
during the specified contract term are also excluded from installations and
disconnects. Inactive sites that are returned to service reduce
disconnects. No additional disconnects were recorded for the first six
months of 2006 as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
(b) 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 subscribers 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.
Installations were 2% higher in the second quarter of 2006 and up 6% in the
first six months of 2006 as compared to the same periods of 2005, primarily due
to growth in installations obtained through the growing dealer network and home
builder activity. The year-over-year increase in the second quarter is less than
in recent quarters due to several factors, including a cooling off of the U.S.
real estate market and changes in BHS' marketing programs. The Company is
adjusting its marketing program and expects to see improvement in the rate of
installations.
Disconnect rates are typically higher in the second and third calendar quarters
of the year because of an increase in residential moves during summer months.
The annualized disconnect rate for the second quarter of 2006 was 6.9% compared
to 6.8% for the same period of 2005.
29
BHS observed a slowing in the rate of household moves in many regions of the
country during the first half of 2006. On the other hand, household moves are
the largest reason for monitoring contract cancellations. Therefore, for the
next several quarters the growth rate of new installations may slow somewhat,
and disconnect rates may improve, when compared to the same quarters in 2005.
Approximately 4,700 disconnects were caused by Hurricane Katrina, all of which
were recorded in 2005. BHS anticipates filing an insurance claim related to
Hurricane Katrina for property damage insurance coverage for losses sustained in
2005 and 2006 and claims under its business interruption policy for lost
operating profits. BHS believes its claim will range from approximately $5
million to $7.5 million. The Company expects property losses of $1.8 million to
be fully covered by insurance and, as such, recognized insurance recoveries in
2005 to the extent of recorded property losses. Because the Company's insurance
coverage provides for replacement value, it may record proceeds in excess of
realized losses when its claim is ultimately settled. Insurance proceeds for
business interruption insurance will be recognized as a gain when claims are
settled.

======================================================================================================
Former operations expenses decreased by 43% in the second quarter of 2006 and
46% in the first half of 2006 compared to the same periods last year primarily
due to lower postretirement medical expenses. Postretirement benefit expenses
were lower due to higher estimated returns related to the significant increase
in plan assets as a result of the $225 million contribution to the VEBA made in
January 2006.
Foreign Operations
The Company operates in approximately 50 countries, each with a local currency
other than the U.S. dollar. Because the financial results of the Company are
reported in U.S. dollars, results are affected by changes in the value of the
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 of the affected subsidiary. 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 Company's consolidated
results. The Company, from time to time, may use foreign currency forward
contracts to hedge transactional risks associated with foreign currencies. No
material forward currency forward contracts were outstanding at June 30, 2006.
Translation adjustments of net monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
the local currency relating to operations in countries with highly inflationary
economies are included in net income, along with all transaction gains or losses
for the period.
Brink's Venezuelan subsidiaries were considered to be operating in a highly
inflationary economy during 2002. However, effective January 1, 2003, the
economy in Venezuela was no longer considered to be highly inflationary. It is
possible that Venezuela may be considered highly inflationary again at some time
in the future. No subsidiaries operated in highly inflationary economies for the
six months ending June 30, 2006 and 2005.
The Company is exposed to certain risks when it operates in highly inflationary
economies, including the risk that
o the rate of price increases for services will not keep pace with the cost
of inflation;
o adverse economic conditions in the highly inflationary country may
discourage business growth which could affect the demand for the
Company's services; and
o the devaluation of the currency may exceed the rate of inflation and
reported U.S. dollar revenues and profits may decline.
31
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 such risks on the Company cannot be
predicted.

Company expects interest expense to continue to be less than prior-year periods
in the second half of 2006 as a result of lower debt levels.

Interest income was higher in the 2006 periods compared to the prior year due to
income from higher levels of marketable securities. In addition, the Company
received dividends of $2.8 million in the first half of 2006 from a real estate
investment compared to $2.0 million in the first half of 2005. The Company made

================================================================================
Continuing Operations
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the first six months
of 2006 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to $5.9
million of state tax expense and a net increase in the valuation allowance. The
Company establishes or reverses valuation allowances for non-U.S. deferred tax
assets depending on all available information including historical and expected
future operating performance of its subsidiaries. During the second quarter of
2006, the Company established a $2.2 million valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets for the Brink's Australia operations. Pretax losses in other non-U.S.
jurisdictions where the Company had previously concluded that valuation
allowances were necessary also increased the effective income tax rate since no
tax benefits for these losses were recognized.
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations in the second quarter and
first half of 2005 was higher than the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due
to the establishment of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets related to
certain Brink's European operations and state taxes.
The Company's effective tax rate may fluctuate materially from period to period
due to changes in the expected geographical mix of earnings, changes in
valuation allowances or accruals for contingencies and other factors. Subject to
the above factors, the Company currently expects that the effective tax rate on
continuing operations for the full year 2006 will approximate 41% - 43%.
33
Discontinued Operations
The tax provision for discontinued operations in the first half of 2006 was
higher than the first half of 2005 primarily due to the gain on the sale of BAX
Global.
Discontinued Operations
BAX Global's results of operations have been reported as discontinued operations
for all periods presented. The following table shows selected financial
information included in discontinued operations for the month ended January 31,
2006, and the three and six months ended June 30, 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 recording depreciation and amortization, its
pretax income in January 2006 would have been $3.7 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
================================================================================
Overview
Cash flows before financing activities increased $726.0 million in the first six
months of 2006 as compared to the first six months of 2005. The increase was
primarily due to the proceeds from the sale of BAX Global, partially offset by
the purchase of short-term marketable securities and contributions to the VEBA.
In addition, the first half of 2006 included lower cash outflows for
acquisitions and capital expenditures.
On January 31, 2006, the Company received approximately $1.1 billion in cash
from the sale of BAX Global. The Company immediately used the proceeds to
contribute $225 million to the VEBA. On March 31, 2006, the Company prepaid its
Senior Notes for $60.0 million (including a $1.6 million make whole payment).
During the first half of 2006, the Company paid down approximately $72.5 million
of other debt. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company repurchased
11,003,263 shares of its common stock at an average price of $51.43 per share
for a total of approximately $564 million, including the purchase of 10,355,263
shares at $51.20 per share for a total of $530 million in a Dutch Auction
self-tender offer.

Operating Activities
Operating cash flows from continuing operations declined by $226.5 million in
the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 as a result of
the $225 million contribution to the VEBA.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company funds its U.S. defined contribution plan
matching expense in cash rather than Company stock. The Company made cash
matching contributions of $8.0 million to its U.S. 401(k) plan for the first
half of 2006.
Operating cashflows from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2006
includes $15.1 million of Federal Black Lung Excise Tax ("FBLET") refunds. The
Company paid $20.4 million in July 2006 to settle its withdrawal liabilities for
two coal industry multi-employer pension plans.
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities increased by $994.6 million in the first
half of 2006 versus the first half of 2005 primarily due to approximately $1.1
billion in proceeds from the sale of BAX Global received in the first quarter of
2006. The Company also purchased marketable securities with a portion of the
proceeds. In addition, cash flows in the first half of 2006 improved due to
lower cash outflows of $38.9 million for acquisitions.
Capital expenditures were as follows:

Capital expenditures for the first half of 2006 were $1.3 million lower than for
the same period in 2005. Brink's capital expenditures in 2006 were primarily for
new facilities, cash processing and security equipment, armored vehicles, and
information technology. Brink's capital expenditures in 2005 included $2.3
million to purchase a branch facility which was formerly leased. BHS capital
expenditures were slightly higher in 2006. BHS capital expenditures in the first
half of 2005 included $10.2 million for the purchase of BHS headquarters in
Irving, Texas, which was previously leased. BHS capital expenditures in the
first half of 2006 included $5.5 million for the development of the second
monitoring facility in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Capital expenditures of continuing operations for the full-year 2006 are
currently expected to range from $260 million to $270 million versus $272
million in 2005.

(a) Net of $90.3 million cash held by BAX Global at the date of sale.
Brink's
Cash flows before financing activities in the first half of 2006 at Brink's
increased by $58.8 million primarily due to a year-over-year $38.9 million
decrease in cash used for acquisitions. In addition, higher operating profit
contributed to the increase.
BHS
The increase in BHS' cash flows before financing activities is primarily due to
higher cash flows from operations as a result of higher earnings partially
offset by $1.3 million more cash used for capital expenditures in 2006 compared
to 2005. In the first half of 2005, BHS purchased its headquarter facilities for
$10.2 million. In the first half of 2006, BHS invested $5.5 million in the
development of the second monitoring facility in Knoxville.
Corporate and Former Operations
The Company received approximately $1.1 billion in net proceeds from the sale of
BAX Global during the first half of 2006 ($1.0 billion net of the cash held by
BAX Global at the date of sale). The Company immediately contributed $225
million to the VEBA. The Company also purchased marketable securities with a
portion of the proceeds. The Company paid $32 million in the second quarter of
2006 of its estimated $59 million 2006 U.S. income tax liability.
Discontinued Operations
Cash flows before financing activities at BAX Global in 2006 included one month
of operations compared to the six months of operations in the 2005 period.
The Company received approximately $15.1 million in FBLET refunds in the first
quarter of 2006. The Company paid $20.4 million in July 2006 to settle two
multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liabilities.

approximately $564 million, including the purchase of 10,355,263 shares at
$51.20 per share for a total of $530 million in a Dutch Auction self-tender
offer.
The Company made scheduled payments of $18.3 million in January 2006 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.
The Company's operating liquidity needs are typically financed by short-term
debt and the Revolving Facility, described below.
On May 5, 2006, the board of directors authorized an increase in the Company's
regular dividend to an annual rate of $0.25 per share, up from an annual rate of
$0.10 per share. The Company paid $0.0625 in the second quarter and $0.025 per
share regular dividend on its common stock in the first quarter of 2006. In the
first half of 2005, the Company paid two $0.025 per share regular quarterly
dividends on its common stock. On July 13, 2006, the board declared a regular
quarterly dividend of $0.0625 per share payable on September 1, 2006. Future
dividends are dependent on the earnings, financial condition, cash flow and
business requirements of the Company, as determined by the board of directors.

Net Debt is used by management as a measure of the Company's financial leverage
and the Company believes that investors also may find it to be helpful in
understanding the financial leverage of the Company. The Company's Net Debt
position at June 30, 2006, as compared to December 31, 2005, improved primarily
due to approximately $1.1 billion in cash received from the sale of BAX Global.
This supplemental non-GAAP information should be viewed in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Debt
The Company has an unsecured $400 million revolving bank credit facility with a
syndicate of banks (the "Revolving Facility"). The facility allows the Company
to borrow (or otherwise satisfy credit needs) on a revolving basis over a
five-year term ending in October 2009. As of June 30, 2006, $332.1 million was
available under the revolving credit facility.
The Company also 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"). The Company has used
the Letter of Credit Facility to replace surety bonds and other letters of
credit needed to support its activities. As of June 30, 2006, $9.3 million was
available under this Letter of 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
with a total of $122 million in available credit, of which approximately $82.8
million was available at June 30, 2006. When rates are favorable, the Company
also borrows from other U.S. 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. Amounts outstanding
under these agreements are included in short-term borrowings.
On March 31, 2006, the Company prepaid the outstanding balance of its Senior
Notes for $60 million including a make-whole payment of $1.6 million. The Senior
Notes were terminated upon prepayment.
39
A number of the Company's subsidiaries, including Brink's and BHS, guaranteed
the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility and the multi-currency revolving
bank credit facilities each contain various financial and other covenants. The
financial covenants, among other things, limit the Company's total indebtedness,
provide for minimum coverage of interest costs, and require the Company to
maintain a minimum level of net worth. If the Company were not to comply with
the terms of its various loan agreements, the repayment terms could be
accelerated. 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 June 30, 2006.
The Company believes it has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its near-term
requirements.
Operating leases
The Company has residual value guarantees of $65.5 million at June 30, 2006,
related to operating leases, principally for trucks and other vehicles.
Equity
At June 30, 2006, the Company had 100 million shares of common stock authorized
and 47.7 million shares issued and outstanding. Of the outstanding shares, 0.5
million shares were held by The Brink's Company Employee Benefits Trust (the
"Trust") at June 30, 2006, and have been accounted for similarly to treasury
stock for earnings per share purposes. In July 2006, the Company's board of
directors approved the issuance of 2.0 million additional shares to the Trust.
On March 8, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a "Dutch Auction"
self-tender offer to purchase up to 10,000,000 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 SEC. 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 million in cash.
The Company has been authorized by the Board to make repurchases of up to $100
million of additional common stock from time to time as market conditions
warrant and as covenants under existing agreements permit. The repurchase
program does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares
and may be terminated at any time. Through June 30, 2006, the Company
repurchased 648,000 shares at an average $54.16 per share for a total of $35.1
million under this program. From July 1, 2006, to July 31, 2006, the Company
purchased another 369,300 shares at an average price of $55.19 per share for a
total of $20.4 million under this program, and the Company has $44.5 million
remaining authority under the program as of July 31, 2006.
Through July 2006, the Company has repurchased 19% of its shares that were
outstanding at December 31, 2005. The Company has the authority to issue up to
2.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $10 per share.
40
Other Contingencies
Value-added taxes 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.
Health Benefit Act
The Company is obligated to pay premiums to the United Mine Workers of America
("UMWA") Combined Benefit Fund, as described in the Company's 2005 Annual Report
on Form 10-K. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $172.3 million recorded for the
obligation, reflecting the recorded liability at December 31, 2005, less
payments made in 2006 and $1.1 million of expense recorded in the first six
months of 2006 to reflect a slight increase in the number of beneficiaries.
Indemnification of claim against BAX Global
BAX Global 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 $9 million. The Company has
contractually indemnified the purchaser of BAX Global for this contingency.
Other loss contingencies
The Company recorded expense of $4.8 million in the first six months of 2005 to
reflect an increase in the estimated cost of reclamation at its former coal
mines. The estimate of the cost of reclamation may change materially in the
future. The Company also has other contingent liabilities, primarily related to
former operations, including those for expected settlement of coal-related
workers' compensation claims.
Gain contingency - insurance claims
The Company expects to file insurance claims of $7.5 million to $9.0 million
related to property damage and business interruption insurance coverage for
losses sustained from Hurricane Katrina for Brink's and BHS. As of June 30, 2006
the Company has recorded a receivable of $1.8 million for claims to be filed,
which equals the amount of hurricane-related property losses recognized to date.
Because the Company's property damage insurance coverage provides for
replacement value, the Company expects to record proceeds in excess of realized
losses when the claims are ultimately settled. Payments for lost revenues under
business interruption coverage will be recognized as operating income when the
claims are settled.

Market Risks and Hedging and Derivative Activities
The Company has activities in more than 50 countries and a number of different
industries. These operations expose the Company to a variety of market risks,
including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates. In addition, the Company consumes certain commodities in its businesses,
exposing it to the effects of changes in the prices of such commodities. These
financial and commodity exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as an
integral part of its overall risk management program. The diversity of foreign
operations helps to mitigate a portion of the impact that foreign currency rate
fluctuations in any one country may have on the Company's consolidated results.
The Company's risk management program considers this favorable diversification
effect as it measures the Company's exposure to financial markets and, as
appropriate, seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility
of certain markets may have on its operating results. The Company has not had
any material change in its market risk exposures in the six months ended June
30, 2006.
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 June 30, 2006, that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control
over financial reporting.
