INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Compensation and Benefits Committee of
the Board of Directors
The Pittston Company:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Savings-Investment Plan of The Pittston Company and its
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the
Savings-Investment Plan of the Pittston Company and its Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in
Schedules 1 and 2 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not
a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The fund information in the statements of net assets available for plan
benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net
assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SAVINGS-INVESTMENT PLAN
OF THE PITTSTON COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996 and 1995
(1) Plan Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Plan
The Savings-Investment Plan of The Pittston Company and its
Subsidiaries (the "Plan") is a voluntary defined contribution plan
sponsored by The Pittston Company and participating subsidiaries (the
"Company"). Employees of the Company who are not members of a
collective bargaining unit (unless the agreement provides specifically
for participation) are eligible to participate after six months of full
time service in which they have at least 1,000 hours of service or at
least 1,000 hours of service in any 12 month period.
A participant may withdraw at anytime without being suspended from the
Plan:
(a) Company contributions made prior to January 1, 1985.
(b) all or a portion of after-tax contributions made prior to
January 1, 1987.
(c) any rollover contributions.
Any withdrawals of Company matched contributions made after January 1,
1985 require the employer to suspend making any contributions on behalf
of the participant for a period of six months.
Because of the Plan's special income tax advantages, the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") generally requires that pretax savings remain
in the Plan while the participant is actively employed. However, there
are currently two exceptions to this rule:
(a) If the participant is age 59 1/2 or older, he or she may withdraw
all or a portion of his or her pretax contributions, or
(b) If the participant has a "financial hardship" (as that term is
defined by IRS guidelines) it is possible to withdraw all or a
portion of his or her pretax contributions in the Plan up to
the amount needed to satisfy the hardship, regardless of age.
The first exception results in a suspension of Company contributions
for a period of six months. A hardship withdrawal results in a
suspension of employee pretax contributions for twelve months.
From time to time, some of the available monies in each of the funds is
invested in short-term investments to increase liquidity for making
loans and distributing funds to participants. Additionally, loans to
participating employees are shown as an asset in the fund in which the
employee had invested contributions.

SAVINGS-INVESTMENT PLAN
OF THE PITTSTON COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting and present net assets available for plan benefits
and changes in those net assets at fair values. The fair value of
Company stocks and mutual fund investments was determined by using
quoted market prices. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which
approximates fair value. Participant loan balances are valued at cost
which approximates fair value. The cost of securities sold is
determined principally on the basis of specific identification.
Trust Fund Management
During the first three months of 1996 and all of 1995, trustee and
recordkeeping services, as well as investment manager responsibilities,
were provided through IDS Trust Company. Effective April 1, 1996, all
trustee, recordkeeping and investment manager responsibilities were
transferred to T. Rowe Price & Company (the "Trustee").
Under the Trust Agreement between the Company and the Trustee, the
Trustee is responsible for the safekeeping of assets in the Trust Fund
and the maintenance of records relating to receipts and disbursements
from the Trust Fund. The Trustee invests funds and makes payments from
the Trust Fund as directed by participants and the Company.
Vesting Policy
The individual is 100% vested in the market value of his or her pretax
contributions and vesting in the Company matched contributions is based
on years of service as follows:
Less than 3 years...................................None
3 but less than 4 years.............................50%
4 but less than 5 years.............................75%
5 or more years.....................................100%
If a participant ends his or her employment with the Company and is
subsequently rehired, their prior service with the Company is counted
for vesting purposes. Once a participant reaches normal retirement age,
he or she is 100% vested in Company matching contributions regardless
of years of service.
Forfeitures, the nonvested portion of a participant's account upon
withdrawal from the Plan, are used to offset future contributions of
the Company to the Plan. Participants should refer to the Plan document
for more complete information.

SAVINGS-INVESTMENT PLAN
OF THE PITTSTON COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Financial Statements
Plan Merger
Effective April 1, 1996, the Production Incentive Plan of Paramont Coal
Corporation, a non-contributory defined contribution plan covering
substantially all salaried and hourly employees of Paramont Coal
Corporation, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of The Pittston
Company, was merged with the Plan. As a result, net assets of
approximately $9,141,000 were transferred into the Plan.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and
to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act. In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management
of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating
to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(2) Participant Loans
Participants can borrow up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their
aggregate vested account balance in the Plan, including rollovers,
subject to certain maximum limits designated by the IRS. Each loan is
secured by a pledge of the participant account balance in the Plan to
the extent of the unpaid balance. Negative loan balances in the Plan
may occur within a particular investment option if a participant has
changed his or her allocation method from the method used at the time
the loan was distributed. The interest rate charged is generally equal
to the prime interest rate plus 1%. Repayments are made through level
monthly payroll deductions and cannot exceed 4 1/2 years for general
purpose loans and 15 years for principal residence loans.
(3) Contributions
Each participant could designate a basic contribution of up to the
lesser of $9,500 or 15% of pretax earnings during 1996 and $9,240 or
15% of pretax earnings during 1995, subject to limitations under IRS
non-discrimination tests. For purposes of determining Plan
contributions, earnings are defined as regular pay including
commissions and bonuses,

Notes to Financial Statements
excluding overtime, premium pay and allowances. Employee contributions
may be divided among investment funds, in multiples of 1%, based upon
the participant's election. Participants have the option to change
their contribution percentages on a monthly basis.
Effective April 1, 1996, T. Rowe Price & Company assumed trustee,
recordkeeping and investment management services of the Plan. In
conjunction with the transfer of these functions, participant
contributions maintained by the prior Trustee were transferred to the
following funds:
o T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund - consisting primarily of
guaranteed investment contracts, bank investment contracts and
structured investment contracts.
o T. Rowe Price Spectrum Income Fund - consisting primarily of a
diversified group of T. Rowe Price mutual funds which invest
principally in fixed-income securities.
o T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund - consisting of investments
in dividend paying common stocks, and fixed income and
convertible securities.
o T. Rowe Price Equity Index Fund - consisting of investments in
some or all of the stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
o T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund - consisting of
investments in established non-U.S. equities.
o T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Value Fund - consisting of investments
in common stocks of companies with market capitalizations
which are generally $500 million or less.
o T. Rowe Price New America Growth Fund - consisting of
investments in common stock of U.S. companies which operate in
the service sector of the economy and which generally have
lower fixed costs, are less capital intensive and maintain
smaller inventories.
o T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund - consisting of investments in
common stocks of young, emerging growth companies in a broad
range of industries.
o T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Fund - Income - consisting of
investments with a primary emphasis on income and a secondary
emphasis on capital appreciation and typically consists of
approximately 40% in stocks, 40% in bonds and 20% in money
market securities.

o T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Fund - Balanced - consisting
of investments with an emphasis on both capital appreciation
and income and typically consists of approximately 60% in
stocks, 30% in bonds and 10% in money market securities.
o T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Fund - Growth - consisting of
investments with a primary emphasis on capital appreciation
and typically consists of approximately 80% in stocks and 20%
in bonds and money market securities.
Additionally, on April 1, 1996, the Plan was amended to permit
participants to invest their own contributions in the Company's three
classes of Common Stock.
During 1995, participant contributions to the Plan could be invested in
the following funds:
o SIP Income Account - consisted primarily of guaranteed
investment contracts, bank investment contracts and short-term
instruments.
o IDS Mutual Fund - consisted primarily of securities of medium
to large, well established companies that offer long term
capital appreciation and reasonable income from dividends and
interest.
o IDS New Dimensions Fund - consisted primarily of common equity
in companies focused on long-term capital appreciation.
o American Express Trust Equity Index Fund II - consisted
primarily of some or all of the stocks in the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index.
o American Express Trust Collective Income Fund II - consisted
primarily of investments in guaranteed investment contracts,
bank investment contracts and structured investment contracts.
o Templeton Foreign Fund - consisted of investments in equity
securities of companies and fixed income instruments of
governments outside the United States.
During 1995, the SIP Income Account was closed and participant
contributions were transferred to the American Express Trust Collective
Income Fund II. The other funds, indicated above, remained available
for participant contributions throughout 1995 and the first three
months of 1996.
Participant contributions up to 5% were matched by the Company at rates
ranging from 50% to 100% and 50% to 125% in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Participants who were employees of Brink's, Incorporated
and Pittston Minerals Ventures, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Company, Pittston Administrative Services and corporate office
employees were matched at a
-6-

Notes to Financial Statements
rate of 100% in 1996 and 1995. Participants who were employees of
Burlington Air Express Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
were matched at a rate of 75% in 1996 and 87.5% in 1995. Participants
who were employees of Brink's Home Security, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, were matched at a rate of 75% in 1996 and
125% in 1995. During 1995, the matched contribution for Brink's Home
Security, Inc. was composed of a base rate of 75% plus an additional
amount based on performance. This additional allocation to the base
rate did not occur during 1996. Participants who were employees of
Pittston Coal Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, were
matched at a rate of 50% in 1996 and 1995. The Company may adjust the
rate at which contributions are matched.
During 1995, all Company contributions were invested in the Company
Stock Fund and were used to purchase Pittston Services Group Common
Stock ("Services Stock") and Pittston Minerals Group Common Stock
("Minerals Stock"). Additionally, Company matching contributions were
used to purchase Services Stock or Minerals Stock depending on whether
a participant was employed by one of the companies in the Services
Group or Minerals Group, respectively. On January 18, 1996, the
shareholders of the Company approved the Brink's Stock Proposal,
resulting in the modification, effective as of January 19, 1996, of the
capital structure of the Company to include an additional class of
common stock. The outstanding shares of Services Stock were
redesignated as Pittston Brink's Group Common Stock ("Brink's Stock")
on a share-for-share basis, and a new class of common stock, designated
as Pittston Burlington Group Common Stock ("Burlington Stock"), was
distributed on the basis of one-half share of Burlington Stock for each
share of Services Stock held by shareholders of record on January 19,
1996. Accordingly, on the effective date, 1,755,550 shares of Services
Stock were converted to 1,755,550 shares of Brink's Stock and 877,775
shares of Burlington Stock. All participant portions of Company
matching contributions held in Services Stock prior to the
redesignation were replaced with shares of Brink's Stock and Burlington
Stock. During 1996, Company matching contributions were used to
purchase Brink's Stock, Burlington Stock or Minerals Stock depending on
whether a participant was employed by one of the companies in the
Brink's Group, Burlington Group or Minerals Group, respectively.
Company matching contributions for those participants not employed by a
specific subsidiary of the Company were allocated between Brink's
Stock, Burlington Stock and Minerals Stock based upon the proportion
that the total fair value of each stock at the previous year end bears
to the total combined fair value of the stocks.
(4) Distributions
Upon leaving the Company for any reason and after a formal disbursement
request is made by the participant, the full fair value of the
employee's contributions and related investment income and all vested
Company matching contributions and related investment income will be
-7-

Notes to Financial Statements
distributed in cash except payouts from the Company stock funds which
will be made in shares of the Company's stock unless cash payment is
specifically requested. The value of any fractional shares is
distributed in cash. Additionally, if a participant's employment with
the Company terminates and he or she has an account balance more than
$3,500, he or she may (1) elect to leave all of his or her
contributions and related investment income and the vested portion of
Company contributions and related investment income in the Plan for an
unlimited period of time, or (2) make an irrevocable election to
receive the payout in installments for a period of up to five years.
Participants who retire on their normal retirement date may elect to
defer distribution until age 70.
(5) Administration
Substantially all costs incurred in the administration of the Plan are
paid by the Company. The balance of such costs, if any, is paid by the
Plan.
(6) Federal Income Taxes
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on February 9, 1995,
in which the IRS stated that the Plan, as designed, was in compliance
with Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and accordingly, the
Plan is exempt from income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code. The Plan was amended and restated since the receipt of
the determination letter. The Company is in the process of completing a
determination letter request which is intended to be filed with the IRS
prior to December 31, 1997. The Company believes the amended Plan
continues to satisfy the applicable requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code.
