GAIL is a Business Angel Syndicate focused on investment in:

I. Small-scale hydro projects which provide high yielding, asset backed investment opportunities accompanied by attractive tax reliefs; and

II. Interesting new small-scale technology opportunities which have significant potential in the renewable energy sector.

Page 4: Gail presentation

Deal Flow One of the keys to successful Angel investing is to gain access to good quality deal flow. GAIL accomplishes this through a close relationship with Sustainable Heat & Power Limited (SHPL).

SHPL is a ‘prospecting’ and project management company whose role is to:

  Identify sites which may be suitable for small-scale hydro schemes;  Undertake preliminary due diligence to determine whether sites are

suitable both from a technical and commercial perspective;  Negotiate Option/ lease agreements with landowners;   Establish Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) for each project which goes

ahead;  Undertake the project management and commissioning of each project;

and  Undertake the ongoing management of each ESCO.

Page 5: Gail presentation

Track Record SHPL shareholders have extensive renewable energy experience and expertise at every stage of a deal covering planning, design, engineering, procurement, project management, financing and commissioning. Combined, they have more than:

  100 staff   75 completed projects (multiple technologies)   20 years of industry experience

Page 6: Gail presentation

Insight In addition to small-scale hydro projects, the Directors of SHPL are very well-connected into the networks of scientists and technologists who are working on new technologies which have the potential to form the basis of new businesses. Such opportunities will be carefully screened and SHPL will not consider opportunities unless they believe that they have real potential to be turned into businesses of scale.

Page 7: Gail presentation

Access SHPL is based at the Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation (ECCI), which gives it access both to interesting new investment opportunities and a ‘rich seam’ of detailed technical knowledge and experience which it may access for due diligence purposes.

Members of GAIL will be given the opportunity to evaluate and consider investing in all potential opportunities identified by SHPL.

Hydro Projects – A Typical Example Using the example of a typical estate scheme with an 88kW hydro project, the following indicative costs and ROIs are anticipated:

Estimated cost of pre-planning (Phase I) = £25,000 (6%) Estimated cost of post-planning (Phase II) = £390,000 (94.6%)

SHPL retained share = 6% Phase I investors receive £25,000 * 1.5 (uplift of 50%) = £37,500 (8.3% equity) Phase II investors receive £390,000 * 1 (no uplift) = £390,000 (85.7% equity)

Therefore, should the project be awarded planning permission, Phase I investors will receive a better return on investment and will have the first option to invest in Phase II.

Note: Phase I investors will typically obtain Seed EIS Relief and Phase II investors will invest at one-and-a-half times the price of Phase I investors to compensate for the higher risk which they take by investing in Phase I.

Page 10: Gail presentation

Tax Reliefs ‘Qualifying Investors’ may be able to benefit from a wide range of tax reliefs in respect of their investments under the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (‘SEIS) or the Enterprise Investment Scheme (‘EIS’):

  SEIS Relief: Income Tax Relief at 50% for investments up to £150,000 in qualifying Companies (£100,000 per Investor);   EIS Relief: Income Tax Relief at 30% for investments of up to £5 million per Company (£1 million per Investor).  If the proceeds from the disposal of an asset which would give rise to a chargeable gain in 2013/14 are reinvested in shares which qualify for SEIS Relief, the amount that remains chargeable is half the reinvested gain in 2013/14; for EIS relief the tax on the gain can instead be deferred until the Company’s shares are sold.

In addition to the foregoing, Investors may also qualify for Business Property Relief (BPR), which may enable investors to claim relief from Inheritance Tax after a holding period of two years. NB: Gains arising from the sale of shares in a qualifying SEIS or EIS company should be exempt from CGT if held for the qualifying period, which is usually three years.

Page 11: Gail presentation

Tariffs Small-scale hydro projects (up to 5MW) still qualify for SEIS/EIS Relief and Feed-In Tariffs as well as an Export Tariff:

Feed-In Tariffs (FITs): Offer a guaranteed price for electricity generated from a small-scale hydro scheme which is fed into the grid. Currently, this price is guaranteed for 20 years and amounts to 15.5-19.6 pence per kilowatt hour (p/kWh).

Export Tariff: In addition to FITs, small-scale hydro schemes qualify for an Export Tariff of 4.5 p/kWh simply for producing renewable electricity which is connected to the grid.

Party Equity Stake Indicative Return Other benefits

Phase I investors 8.3% 22.2% SEIS relief (50%) + capital gains shelter + first option on Phase II investment

Phase II investors 85.7% 14.7% SEIS/EIS relief (50/30%) + Capital gains shelter

SHPL 6% n/a Basic pre-tax project yield – 16%

Indicative Returns Should a project receive planning permission and connect to the grid successfully, the indicative returns to GAIL investors would be as follows:

Indicative return is based on detailed assumptions which will vary from case to case. Investors will be given a detailed information memorandum for each project and will make their own investment decision in each case. This will enable investors to build up their own portfolio of investments over time.
