Chairman's and Chief Executive's Report
During the year significant steps were taken to transform the
direction and strategy of the Company:
In October 2010, the Company disposed of its operating
businesses, allowing the Company to use the proceeds to clear
outstanding loans and to clean up its balance sheet. CAM
subsequently re-designated itself as an investing company, as
defined in the AIM Rules, and adopted an investment strategy to
acquire holdings in the natural resources sector, which, the Board
believes, are undervalued and where one or more such transactions
have the potential to create value for shareholders. Under the
investing strategy there is no limit to the number of projects in
which the Company may invest and the Board will consider possible
opportunities anywhere in the world with a particular focus on
Africa, South America, Australasia and central and eastern
Europe.
The Board is confident that CAM has obtained a number of
influential shareholders during, and after, the period under
review, who are supportive of the Company's new strategy:
-- In December 2010, ECK Partners Holdings Limited ("ECK")
acquired the 89.35 per cent shareholding in the Company held by our
previous parent company. ECK is an investment holding company owned
as to 88.86 per cent by TW Indus Limited ("TW Indus"), a company
wholly-owned by Ilyas Khan, and 11.14 per cent by CAM's Chairman,
Robert Owen, at the date of the transaction.
-- In January 2011, Old Church Street Holdings Limited acquired
a c.54 per cent shareholding in CAM via a strategic sale of shares
to it by ECK. Old Church Street Holdings Limited is a privately
owned investment holding company, which predominately invests in
the natural resources sector and counts John McKeon as its primary
discretionary beneficiary.
-- In April 2011, ECK and Old Church Street Holdings Limited
each sold part of their stakes to ARA Capital Limited ("ARA"), a
company beneficially owned by Arkadiy Abramovich, who, as a result
has become the Company's largest shareholder with 25.4 per cent.
Old Church Street Holdings Limited and ECK remain 24.4 per cent and
17.8 per cent shareholders today respectively.
In January and February 2011, the Company raised gross funds
GBP2.25 million, in support of its new strategy, from institutional
and professional investors. The Board believes that these funds
have provided CAM with sufficient resources to meet its working
capital requirements and pursue the investment strategy.
The Board has proposed a name change to Zoltav Resources Inc.
more appropriately to reflect the new direction of the Company. The
necessary resolutions to implement this name change will be
proposed for shareholder approval at the upcoming general meeting
of the Company to be held on 21 June 2011 at Le Meridien Beach
Plaza Hotel, 22 Avenue Princesse Grace, 98000 Monte Carlo, Monaco
at 2.00 p.m. (local time).
Outlook
The Company is focusing its investment activities on the natural
resources sector, leveraging the experience and relationships of
the Board and the Company's strategic investors, in order to focus
on creating maximum value for shareholders and look forward to
reporting progress on these activities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Information
1. Basis of preparation
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands, which does
not prescribe the adoption of any particular accounting framework.
The Board has therefore adopted International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRSs") issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board. The Company's shares are listed on the AIM of
London Stock Exchange.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared under
historical cost convention except for financial instruments
classified as available-for-sale and at fair value through profit
or loss, which are measured at fair value. The measurement bases
are fully described in the accounting policies detailed in the
Group's 2010 annual report and consolidated financial
statements.
It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions are
used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge
and judgement of current events and actions, actual results may
ultimately differ from those estimates. The areas involving a
higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated
financial statements, are set out in the Group's 2010 annual report
and consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries(together referred to
as "the Group") made up to 31 December each year. Material
intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains
arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated on
consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset
transferred.
The principal accounting policies are detailed in the Group's
2010annual report and consolidated financial statements.
2. Segmental Information
In identifying the Group's operating segments, the management
generally followed the Group's service lines which represented the
main service lines provided by the Group.
The Group identified the following reportable operating
segments:
i) Asset Management - provision of fund management, asset
management and wealth management services.
ii) Direct Investment - the remaining investments held which
arose from the discontinued merchant banking segment which was
disposed of in 2008 and were managed on a passive basis.
Upon the disposal of all the subsidiaries to its holding
company, both the Asset Management and Direct Investment businesses
have been shown as discontinued operations.
The revenues generated, losses incurred from operations and
total assets by each of the Group's operating segments are
summarised as follows:

The Group definedgeographical locations with reference to those
revenue producing assets and transactions that arise from customers
domiciled worldwide. Due to the nature of the business, precise
segregation of geographical activities would be arbitrary and
therefore considered not appropriate.

loss per share as the outstanding share options were
anti-dilutive.
