PSI Group - New launch from CashGuard expands the market opportunities



CashGuard AB, a wholly owned subsidiary of PSI Group ASA, is
introducing a new model in the CashGuard Blue series. The new model,
which is a result of a customer driven development project between
SQS, CashGuard and PSI Systems, is downsized to fit perfectly into
ordinary checkouts without compromising CashGuard Blue's unique
standards of safety and protection.  With an aggressive pricing, this
new model will increase market potential - both within existing
grocery segments, where storeowners want CashGuard Blue in all
checkouts, but also within the huge convenient store and gas station
segments, where secured and safe overnight cash storage at checkouts
is very lucrative for the owners.

-I am extremely satisfied with presenting a new and compact model of
the CashGuard Blue based on our unique SQS technology, enabling a
momentarily and comprehensive ink-staining of all bank notes, by any
trial of forced entry. We believe that our new featured model will
expand the areas of use for the CashGuard Blue concept considerably,
says Jørgen Waaler, CEO of PSI Group ASA.

The cash handling system will give further benefits and reduced costs
for CashGuard's customers. Through increased efficiency,
predictability, security and increased flexibility related to
attendance of the checkouts, the stores may reduce their staff and
thereby lower the payroll costs. Fewer resources will be needed for
emptying, registration, counting and transportation of money.

CashGuard Blue is the only cash handling system within grocery/ post/
bank that is approved by the Swedish Theft Prevention Association
(SSF). The SSF requires that the content always is inked in the case
of attempt of break-ins, irrespective of time, method or tools. In
the case of break in into a CashGuard Blue, all the notes will be
ink-stained momentarily. All bank notes are therefore safe for
storage at each checkout 24/7.

The new model is in production and the first deliveries will take
place during November.
