                          INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

G4S,  the international security solutions group,  will be updating analysts and
investors  today  on  trading  for  the  year  to date, including an overview of
financial performance to 31 March 2010.

In  the first  quarter of  2010 overall revenues  grew 4%, at  constant exchange
rates,  compared to the same period last  year, and grew 2.1% at actual exchange
rates. The group operating margin was unchanged.

Management  will  be  indicating  that  there  have  been no material changes in
trading  performance, financial position or market conditions across the various
G4S  businesses since the 2009 year end, the  results of which were announced in
March.

An  overview of the financial performance for the three months to 31 March 2010
is as follows:

Organic Growth
Overall  organic  growth  was  2%. New  Markets  grew more than 7% and developed
markets were flat.
  * In  secure solutions,  organic growth  was 2.5% as  a strong  performance in
    government  and New  Markets was  partly offset  by lower  growth overall in
    Europe and North America commercial services.
  * Cash  solutions organic growth  was flat with  good underlying growth in New
    Markets being offset by a slight decline in developed markets.


Margins
Overall  margins held  up (on  both a  constant and  actual exchange rate basis)
compared to the same period last year.
  * Secure  solutions  margins  were  slightly  higher  helped by the UK and New
    Markets.
  * In  cash  solutions,  the  business  has  adjusted  well  to the current low
    interest rate environment.



Outlook
The  group  has  performed  robustly  in  the  first  quarter, in a market which
continues to be challenging.  Against this market backdrop, we are confident the
international  diversity of our  business mix, strength  of our management teams
and enhanced  ability to deliver innovative,  outsourced customer solutions will
enable the group to maintain its momentum.
