Interim Management Statement

9 November 2009
                               G4S PLC
                    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 30 September 2009.

There have been no material changes in trading performance, financial
position or market conditions across the various G4S businesses since
the half yearly results announcement for the six months to June 2009.
Trends  from  the  first  half  continued  into  the  third  quarter,
including slightly  slower growth  in developed  markets'  commercial
security  services,  offset  by  continued  strong  performances   in
government and new markets. The  improvement in the operating  margin
achieved at the half year was maintained.

An overview of the  financial performance for the  nine months to  30
September 2009 is as follows:

In the first  nine months  of 2009 overall  revenues grew  by 23%  at
actual exchange rates compared to the same period last year and by 9%
at constant exchange rates. Operating  profits were up 25% at  actual
rates and  up  12% at  constant  rates. The  group  operating  margin
improved by 0.1% at actual rates and by 0.2% at constant rates.

Organic Growth
Overall  organic  growth   was  4.2%,  despite   a  lower   inflation
environment, with around 1.6% in  developed markets and 12.3% in  new
markets.
§         In secure solutions, organic growth was 3.8% as a result of
lower growth in Europe and North America commercial services,  offset
by a continued strong performance in government and new markets.
§         Cash solutions continued  to deliver strong organic  growth
at around 5.9%.

Margins
Overall margins were ahead  by 0.2% (at  constant exchange rates)  on
the same period last year.
§         Secure solutions margins were  up by 0.1%.  Margins in  new
markets were up 0.3% with strong performances in the Middle East  and
Africa.
§         In  cash solutions,  trading continued  to be  strong  with
margins up 0.7% on the prior year helped by improved profitability in
Europe and North America.
Acquisitions & Divestments
No significant acquisitions have been  made since the half year.  G4S
invested a total of approximately  £54.8m on acquisitions during  the
first half of the year.  Of  this, £19.7m was invested in  capability
building acquisitions such as a  juvenile justice business in the  US
and SecuraMonde, a  global cash management  consultancy based in  the
UK.  G4S also purchased minority interests for a total of £33.5m  and
paid  a  further  £1.6m  in  deferred  consideration  from   previous
acquisitions.  The disposal of the French security business was  also
completed in the first half of 2009.

Financial position
Our financial position  continues to  be strong and  we have  current
headroom from committed funds of  more than £550 million.  Cash  flow
also remains strong and  we are on track  to hit our cash  conversion
target of 85% of PBITA for the full year.

Outlook
Our  businesses  have  continued  to  perform  well  despite   facing
challenging market conditions. In the  first nine months of 2009  the
group has achieved robust organic  growth and margin improvement  and
we remain confident that we can deliver a strong performance in  2009
and into 2010.
