                          ('Cashbox' or the 'Company')

                                 Share Placing

Following the announcement of the Interim Results when the Company noted that
arrangements to raise further operating capital were being finalised, the
Company is today announcing that it has arranged a placing of 9,520,000 new
ordinary shares in the Company at 5p per share raising gross proceeds of
£476,000.

The placing is being done in two tranches at the request of investors. The first
tranche of 3,700,000 shares was allotted on Friday 4 April 2008 and the Company
has received binding commitments for the second tranche of 5,820,000 shares
which it expects to allot this week.

This placing raises a further £476,000 of operating capital to supplement the
facility from Bank of Scotland to finance the installation of ATMs under the
placement model where ownership is retained by Cashbox.

Application has been made to AIM for 3,700,000 new ordinary shares of the
Company to be admitted to trading and dealings are expected to commence on 15
April 2008 and a further application will be made in relation to the remaining
5,820,000 new ordinary shares and dealings are expected to commence on 18 April
2008.

Following the admission of the new ordinary shares, the total number of ordinary
shares of the Company in issue and therefore the total voting rights will be
104,367,525.
