        <footnote id="F1">This balance reflects an estimation of Units representing shares of The Brink's Company Common Stock (&quot;BCO&quot;) to be credited to the Reporting Person's account under the Key Employees' Deferred Compensation Program (the &quot;Program&quot;).  Under the terms of the Program, the Reporting Person has chosen to make bi-weekly salary deferrals to an incentive account.  As of the end of each fiscal year, the amount of salary deferred to the account is converted into Units representing shares of BCO and credited to the Reporting Person's account in accordance with the terms of the Program.  The balance listed above is an estimate of the value of these Units based upon trading prices of BCO for the two-week period ended June 4, 2004.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Total beneficial ownership has been adjusted to reflect actual allocations to the Reporting Person?s account for the year ended December 31, 2003 (as reported on the Report on Form 5 filed on behalf of the Reporting Person with the Commission on February 17, 2004), and includes all bi-weekly estimated deferrals to date.  The bi-weekly acquisitions of such Units have been timely reported on Form 4s.</footnote>
