Cash Technologies Subsidiary Agrees to Supply Four of the Top Six U.S. Auto Parts Retailers

LOS ANGELES, CA--(MARKET WIRE)Jul 29, 2008 – Cash Technologies, Inc. (AMEX: TQ) (("Cash Tech") announced today that its CPI Holdings, LLC subsidiary ("CPI"), which completed its acquisition of certain assets of Champion Parts, Inc. on May 5, 2008, has continued to make progress in recovering former Champion customers, supplying or agreeing to supply four of the top six U.S. automotive parts retailers. This represents an estimated $3.4 million annual revenue run rate, which is expected to produce profitability for CPI.

Champion was the leading remanufacturer of automotive fuel system components in the U.S. before its bankruptcy in October 2007, supplying the largest auto parts retailers in the U.S., with combined distribution of more than 20,000 retail stores. CPI has agreed to supply two of the retailers on an exclusive basis and two others for portions of their business.

Jerry Bragiel, President of CPI, stated, "Our relationships with major retailers are continuing to build. Current shipments of about $100,000 per month are expected to triple over approximately the next 60 days as the recent commitments are implemented. We expect to continue to increase commitment levels with the retailers thereafter."

CPI has hired the former successful (pre-bankruptcy) management of Champion to operate the business. In addition, CPI intends to expand the Champion product line to include innovative fuel-efficiency products that will be marketed under the brand name Champion Performance and distributed through Champion's extensive retail network consisting of thousands of stores in the U.S.
