TomCo Energy PLC

18 August 2016

This replaces the Company Update announcement made yesterday, 17 August 2016, at 16:19 BST under RNS number 4712H.

It was incorrectly stated that "The Company has reduced its annualised cost base to GBP155,000 per annum, compared with GBP457,000 per annum 18 months ago and continues to monitor its cost base." The sentence should have read "The Company has reduced its annualised cost base by approximately GBP300k per annum, compared with that 18 months ago and continues to monitor its overheads. As at 30 June 2016, the Company had GBP165,000 in cash."

All other details remain unchanged. The full amended text is shown below.

The Company has reduced its annualised cost base by c.GBP300k per annum, compared with that 18 months ago and continues to monitor its overheads. As at 30 June 2016, the Company had GBP165,000 in cash.

The Company continues to review debt and equity financing options to fund the Palm Oil project and its Fresh Fruit Bunches processing plant (expected to cost approximately US$500,000) and to provide it with additional working capital.
