To that end, Cash Technologies, Inc. has adopted a Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics applies to Cash Technologies, Inc. directors, officers and employees alike. However,certain of our officers and employees – our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer – provide services and perform functions that merit a more detailed expression of their duties, because they are singularly responsible for theintegrity, accuracy and timeliness of our periodic financial reports to regulators and the investing public. Thus, Cash Technologies, Inc.’s Board of Directors has adopted this Code of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and Chief FinancialOfficer. 

 

This Code of Ethics is intended to supplement our company-wide Codeof Ethics. Along with our Code of Ethics, Employee Handbook and other policies, procedures and guidelines adopted from time to time, this Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and promote: 

 

—Honest and ethical conduct, including ethical handling of actual orapparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; 

 

—Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that Cash Technologies, Inc. files with, or submits to, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and in otherpublic communications made by Cash Technologies, Inc.; 

 

—Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; 

 

—The prompt internal reporting of violations of this Code; and 

 

—Accountability for adherence to this Code. 

 

Each one of the individuals covered by this Code of Ethics must abide by its terms. Any waiver of this Code of Ethics must be approved in writing by the Audit Committeeof Cash Technologies, Inc.’s Board of Directors. Adherence to this Code of Ethics by those covered by it is a condition of employment. Violators are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from Cash Technologies, Inc. andcriminal prosecution.

If you become aware or suspect that a violation of this Code of Ethics or the principles itembodies has occurred, you should immediately report the incident to the General Counsel. You may make a good faith report of a suspected violation secure in the knowledge that Cash Technologies, Inc. will not allow retaliation for reporting 

your concerns. Cash Technologies, Inc. will make appropriate efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your report. However, confidentiality cannot beassured in every instance. For example, there may be circumstances that require us to report illegal conduct to appropriate law enforcement authorities. 

 

Enforcement 

 

Outside Counsel will be appointed by the Audit Committee and/or the full Board of Directors will oversee any investigation into a suspected violation of this Code of Ethics. When appropriate, the Counsel will takestatements, interview witnesses and prepare a written report of facts and findings.

Responsibilities to Cash Technologies, Inc. 

 

Conflicts of Interest 

 

The business decisions and actions of our principal executive, financial and accounting personnel must never be influenced by personalconsiderations or personal relationships. These individuals should avoid any relationship or activity that might impair—or even appear to impair—their ability to make objective and fair decisions while performing their jobs. For example, aconflict of interest may occur when family members or close personal friends are involved in business relationships with you, either inside or outside the company. Other examples of potential conflicts of interest include: 

 

—employment by a competitor or potential competitor while you areemployed by Cash Technologies, Inc.; 

 

—acceptance ofgifts, payments, services or anything of value from anyone seeking to do business with Cash Technologies, Inc.; 

 

—placement of Cash Technologies, Inc. business with an entity in which you or a family member has a financial interest; and 

 

—a significant ownership interest in a Cash Technologies, Inc.competitor. 

 

Where even the appearance of a conflict of interest may exist,share the facts with and seek guidance from your manager or notify the General Counsel. If you believe that a conflict of interest exists or if you believe that there is a material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected togive rise to a conflict of interests, you must report it to the General Counsel immediately upon its discovery. 

 

Acceptance of Gifts 

 

Gifts, meals and business entertainment are common in business. They can help us build better relationships with our clients and vendors. Although the types of gifts, meals and entertainment that are appropriate in abusiness environment depends on many factors, generally, Cash Technologies, Inc. employees may accept gifts, meals and business entertainment of a nominal value from clients and vendors. It is often difficult to define “nominal” – and$50.00 may well be an appropriate limit – but common sense and good business ethics should be your guide. If the gift, meal or entertainment seems too lavish, it probably is. A gift, meal or other form of entertainment that is too

lavish may give rise to an actual or apparent conflict of interest. Remember, you hold a special position of trust at Cash Technologies, Inc. You should notbe influenced in any way by gifts or other offers – from internal or external sources.
