Commentary 
 
These results reflect the Company's strategy to constrain costs and preserve 
cash. 
 
As previously announced on 4 October 2010, CAM completed the disposal of all its 
operating businesses and, accordingly, became an investing company, as defined 
by the AIM Rules. 
 
The Company's investing strategy will be to acquire holdings in natural 
resources, minerals, metals and/or oil & gas companies which the Directors 
believe are undervalued and where one or more such transactions have the 
potential to create value for the Company's shareholders. 
 
The Company expects to be an active investor, but decisions as to whether to 
invest will be governed by the terms of each transaction. Under the investing 
strategy, there is no limit on the number of projects into which the Company may 
invest, and the Company will consider possible opportunities anywhere in the 
world, although the Company has a particular focus on Africa, South America, 
Australasia and central and Eastern Europe.
