Cashbox supplies ATMs to places like petrol stations and pubs, nightclubs, etc. It has recently been pointed out by Shares Mag as looking likely to break even in 2007.

EDIT: Currently the company is the subject of a potential takeover approach. No terms have yet been disclosed, but this indicates the company's attractiveness in a sector which has seen a fair degree of takeover activity already.

Cashbox's business model involves placing most of the machines with retailers and providing technical support but having the site owners take care of keeping the machines filled with cash, thus reducing the costs to Cashbox.

The machines are watched closely by Cashbox to ensure that they are both profitable and operational as near to 100% of the time as possible.

CBOX has had a number of good contract wins recently (see RNS releases) and currently has an estate potential of 29,000 sites amongst its customers.






EDIT: There are 61.4 million shaes in issue, of which 55% is in the hands of directors and another 3.32% by a "major shareholder". So the free float is about 25.1 million shares.


PDYOR, etc.

CBOX Bid: 24p Offer: 25p Change: 0.25 49K traded

have added a new chart as below ...... can't make a great deal from it, though sp holds nicely above 25 dma and rpi is now fairly neutral after being overbought.



red = 25 dma
green = 50 dma

Thanks, Cynic - nice of you to come and keep me company over here :o)

can't see a reason to buy though ...... if rpi falls to about 45, may look again

by the way, have just taken my (very nice) profit on SOLA for a second time ...... not saying it isn't good medium or even long term, but feel some profit taking is well overdue, and 500 looks as though it may have been a step too far ...... am sure i shall be back in

you may be right, Cynic. As it is, I'm in a small profit on CBOX since late December and am hopeful that the rate of contract wins and ATM roll-out will be both maintained and increased. When they'll hit break-even is another thing.


Regarding SOLA, there may well be time for another punt before the next results. Clearly you did the right thing today as right now everyone appears to be tkaing home their profits.

I have somehow got right down to a fairly small holding of SOLA by the end of December, all of which is free carry; regretting it slightly as I got too nervous, too soon, but am comfortable with where things are heading..

Up nicely this morning: CBOX Bid: 25p Offer: 27p Change: 1.5

590,000 traded so far.

nice climb today, reversing some of the post-Christmas slippage: CBOX Bid: 21p Offer: 22.5p Change: 3.5

276k traded.

And another climb today, because more good news has been announced (this comapny seems to keep winning new business at a cracking rate; just review its recent RNS releases!)

Only 98K traded so far - news like this should surely attract a bit more interest, but what the hey - if it stays cheap, the early birds will be able to buy more!!

Cashbox PLC - Contract Win
RNS Number:0948Q
Cashbox PLC
25 January 2007


Cashbox PLC ('Cashbox' or 'the Company')

ACE Members to get first 3,700 ATMs as part of a strategic contract win between
Cashbox PLC and Palmer & Harvey McLane (P&H)

Cashbox PLC (AIM:CBOX), the independent ATM deployer and operator, announces
that following a competitive selection process, it has been chosen as the
recommended supplier of ATMs for Palmer & Harvey McLane (P&H), the UK's number
one nationwide delivered wholesaler for both the independent and multiple retail
trade with over 61,000 customers.

Cashbox will initially focus on providing the free ATM placement offer to P&H's
3,700 members of the ACE buying group.

Through its partnership agreements Cashbox now has over 29,000 sites where it
can assess the viability of installing an ATM machine, many of those on an
exclusive basis. The Company, which is purely focused on the UK market, carries
out detailed research on each site before committing to installation to ensure
that it meets the relevant criteria to achieve profitability.

The ATMs will be placed using Cashbox's Placement Model, whereby a
convenience-fee ATM is placed with a retailer free of charge and replenished by
them, eliminating the need for third party cash-handling costs. Each ATM is then
treated as an individual entity, with Cashbox monitoring performance and
ensuring that the retailer is fully trained and supported in its use.

Carl Thomas, Chief Executive of Cashbox plc, said:
'We are delighted to be working with such a prestigious and successful
organisation as Palmer & Harvey McLane. In particular, I am very excited about
the pace that P&H want to see the ACE members benefit from our programme. This
contract win is further evidence that Cashbox is fast becoming the UK's leading
Independent ATM provider of choice.'

Clive Hildyard, Trading Manager, of ACE, commented:
'Throughout the negotiation process, we have been extremely impressed with
Cashbox's professionalism. The level of marketing and technical support that
they offer, and the fact that this deal involves absolutely no financial risk to
ACE members made Cashbox the obvious choice. We look forward to what I am sure
will prove to be a successful relationship.'

Notes to editors

Cashbox is a leading independent ATM deployer (IAD) with an estate of more than
1,200 ATMs in locations around the UK. Cashbox installs and operates an estate
of ATMs, typically on five to seven year contracts, at sites throughout the UK
where there is a demand for cash withdrawal services and where customers are
willing to pay a convenience fee.

The Company differentiates itself from other UK ATM suppliers by offering the
Placement Model, whereby the ATM is purchased by Cashbox under lease hire. The
ATM is FREE to the merchant. The machines are replenished by the merchant,
eliminating the need for third party cash handling costs. The Company also
focuses heavily on post placement marketing backing as well as technical support
and service via its in-house 24/7 helpdesk that is supported by a team of
Cashbox trained and certified personnel.

Cashbox was granted membership of LINK in March 2004, allowing Cashbox to
incorporate its ATMs in the LINK network. Cashbox also has a Bank of England
settlement account and became the first IAD in the UK to become completely
compliant with the Triple DES security standard in June 2004.
