                                         ("Allocate" or "the Company")

                                 Completion of the Acquisition of Time Care AB

The  Board  of Allocate (the "Board") is pleased to announce that, further to its announcement of  27  November
2009,  the  Company  has completed the acquisition of Time Care AB ("Time Care"), a Swedish-based  provider  of
workforce management software, with a strong focus on the healthcare market, for a Net Consideration of SEK 100
million (approximately £8.7 million)1.

The Company successfully raised approximately £8.3 million (approximately £8.0 million net of expenses) through
a  cash  placing of 15,100,000 new ordinary shares ("New Shares") at 55.0 pence per New Share to help fund  the
Acquisition (the "Placing"), with the balance being satisfied from the Company's existing cash resources.
As  at  Completion, all Vendors had signed the Acquisition Agreement.  Consequently, Allocate has now  acquired
the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Time Care.

The Acquisition is currently expected by the Directors to be significantly earnings enhancing in the first full
financial year of ownership by Allocate.

Terms  defined  in  the  Circular  sent to Shareholders on 27 November 2009 have  the  same  meanings  in  this
announcement.
