Bilby Plc ("Bilby" or the "Company")

Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements

Further to the trading update released by the Company on November 1(st) 2016, the Board of Bilby Plc (AIM: BILB.L) today announces that as part of its preparation of its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2016, the audit committee of the Company has concluded that a proportion of the additional costs, referred to in the trading update, should be applied to the profits for the year ended 31 March 2016 (the "2016 Financial Statements"). The Board believes that these costs, as well as an amount of disputed revenue, amount to approximately GBP655,000. Consequently, the Board of the Company expects reported profit before tax for the 2016 Financial Statements to be restated reducing profit before tax to GBP718,000 from GBP1,373,000 as previously reported.

The identified restatements relate to a reduction in revenue for the 2016 Financial Statements totalling approximately GBP99,000 related to disputed revenue, and an increase in cost of sales totalling approximately GBP556,000 related to delayed sub-contractor costs and changes in the terms of trade with sub-contractors. The Company also expects a corresponding tax credit adjustment of approximately GBP131,000.

The interim results for the 6 months ended 30 September 2016, which will contain further details of the restatement to be applied to the 2016 Financial Statements, will be published during December 2016.
