Sufficient conditions are given for the Poincare recurrence system y(m + 1) = (A + P(m)) y(m) to have a solution y such that y(m) = lambda(m)(1 + o(1))v as m --> infinity, where lambda is an eigenvalue of the constant matrix A and v is an associated eigenvector. The summability conditions on P permit conditional convergence and the o(1) terms are specified precisely.
