TIDMRCAP RNS Number : 2453O Ricmore Capital PLC 25 June 2010 For immediate release 25 June 2010 Ricmore Capital Plc ("Ricmore" or "the Company") (formerly Energy Asset Management Plc) Report and Accounts for the nine month period ended 31 December 2009 Change of Broker The Company is pleased to announce that the Report and Accounts for the nine month period ended 31 December 2009, extracts from which are set out below, have been posted to shareholders and are available on the website: www.ricmorecapital.co.uk In addition, the Company announces the appointment of Daniel Stewart & Company Plc as broker to Ricmore who replace Religare Capital Markets plc with immediate effect. Chairman's Statement Financial Results In the nine months to 31 December 2009 the Company made a loss after taxation of GBP31,636 (15 months ended 31 March 2009 - loss GBP3,289,636) representing a loss per share of 0.01p (2009 - loss 0.99p per share). The Company received the second tranche of deferred consideration arising out of the sale of Energy Assets Limited. The amount received was greater than that accrued for at 31 March 2009 and thus the extra funds received amounting to GBP75,714 are reported as a gain in these nine month financial statements to 31 December 2009. Following receipt of the initial and deferred consideration arising from the sale of Energy Assets Limited in January 2009, and after subsequent operating costs paid, cash balances amounted to some GBP943,000 at the end of December 2009. Suspension from trading on AIM As an investing company under the AIM Rules, Ricmore needed to have either substantially implemented its investment strategy or concluded a reverse takeover on or before 9 January 2010 or otherwise its shares would be suspended from trading on AIM. As the Company had not yet done so, the Company's shares were suspended on 11 January 2010. Should the Company have not substantially implemented its investment strategy or concluded a reverse takeover on or before 9 July 2010 it will be de-listed. Intended acquisition On 11 January 2010, the Board reported that it was actively considering a particular transaction and would report further to shareholders as and when appropriate. Since that date that transaction, a reverse acquisition, has been and is still being actively pursued. Accounting reference date In order to align the Company's accounting reference date to the accounting calendar of the intended acquisition, the Company has changed its accounting reference date to 31 December from 31 March and accordingly these financial statements present the results from 31 March 2009 to 31 December 2009. The Future The board continues to work towards the completion of the aforementioned acquisition and will in due course be writing to shareholders.

Segmental information Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers, who are responsible for allocating resource, assessing performance and making strategic decisions. All of the Company's activity is located in the UK. In the period the Company was seeking a suitable acquisition and did not have any active trade. Therefore it is considered that the Company does not have any reportable segments for the period. 3.

Taxation Income tax Tax charge for the period No taxation arises on the result for the period because of the trading loss. Factors affecting the tax charge for the period The total charge for the period can be reconciled to the accounting loss as follows: +------------+--+---------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | | | | | Period to | Period | | | | | | 31 | to | | | | | | December | 31 March | | | | | | 2009 | 2009 | +------------+--+---------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | | | | | GBP | GBP | +------------+--+---------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | Loss for the period before taxation | | (31,636) | (3,289,636) | +-------------------------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | | | | | | | +------------+--+---------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | Loss for the period before tax multiplied | | (8,858) | (657,927) | | by the UK standard corporation tax rate | | | | | of 28% (March 2009: 20%) | | | | +-------------------------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | Expenses not deductible for tax | | 138 | 22,702 | +-------------------------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | Capital (gains)/losses (utilised)/carried | | (21,200) | 583,419 | | forward | | | | +-------------------------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | Marginal relief | | 2,215 | - | +-------------------------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | Tax losses for the period not relieved | | 27,705 | 51,806 | +-------------------------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ | | | | | - | - | +------------+--+---------------------------+-+------------+-------------+ Factors affecting the tax charge of future periods Tax losses available to be carried forward by the Company at 31 December 2009 against future profits are estimated to comprise trading losses of approximately GBP695,000 and capital losses of approximately GBP2,825,000. A deferred tax asset amounting to approximately GBP195,000 (31 March 2009: GBP118,000) has not been recognised in respect of accumulated losses, as there is insufficient evidence that the asset will be recovered in the foreseeable future. There were no factors that may affect future tax charges. 7. Loss per share The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, as split between continuing and discontinued activities, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue being 332,768,383 (March 2009: 330,869,482) during the period. No option or warrant is potentially dilutive, and hence basic and diluted loss per share are the same. As at 31 December 2009, there were warrants in issue over 11,403,051 ordinary shares which if exercised could potentially dilute future earnings per share. 8.
