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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
2. 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.

6. 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 |

+-------------------------------------------+-+------------+-------------+
| | | | | - | - |
+------------+--+---------------------------+-+------------+-------------+
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.

deposit accounts which provide a modest return on the Company's resources whilst
ensuring there is limited risk of loss to the Company. The deposit accounts are
held at Adam & Company Plc and the Company earns interest at rates that depend
on the amount of money deposited at any one time.
