exchange dedicated to businesses and investors seeking to achieve a 
positive social and environmental impact through their activities.  The 
aim of the exchange is to help businesses that deliver a social or 
environmental impact to connect with investors and unlock capital at 
scale.  All issuer member companies must meet a rigorous set of criteria

   Deborah White, CEO of Milestone Group commented: 
 
   " I am very pleased to be able to report that we have passed the strict 
entry criteria laid down by the Social Stock Exchange. A listing on the 
Social Stock Exchange is not easy to come by or keep as more than 50% 
fail to reach the criteria of social/environmental impact performance, 
which is reviewed annually. Having a listing on this exchange affords us 
the opportunity to reach those investors who have a preference for 
investing in socially and environmentally conscious companies. "
