ACCOLADE ENTERPRISE INVESTMENT SCHEME

Accolade shares are currently valued at five pounds each.

£5000 is our minimum investment; the current maximum is £50,000.

Each £5,000 invested produces immediate income tax relief of £1000.

These shares can be sold free of capital gains tax when held for
3 years, provided that Accolade continues to qualify under the EIS scheme.

People who have made capital gains elsewhere can use an investment in
Accolade EIS shares to defer taxation of their gain until disposal of these shares.

As an employee owned partnership, there is a strong incentive for Accolade
staff to work efficiently, thereby earning dividends for payment to all shareholders.

£50 per £1,000 share value is a target dividend for 2010 = 5% annual return on investment.

Employee Incentive Schemes encourage Accolade staff to buy shares that become
available when investors choose to realise their EIS assets after qualifying for tax incentives.
Shares are also purchased by Accolade Franchisees as a condition of their license agreement.
