Tristan Fischer, CEO of Camco, commenting upon the Company's progress said: 'I am very pleased to announce that Camco has passed the 100 million tonne mark for projects that we are developing. This represents a 40% increase since our IPO in April and is in line with our expectations. Our strong performance is thanks to the business platform we have created and to the dedicated efforts of our people around the world. Since our last update, we have further strengthened our operational capacity and market position in our chosen territories. The Carbon market continues to evolve and we have been tracking market developments in the United States, Canada and Australia, which may result in a net increase in demand for Carbon Credits in the longer term.' PROGRESS IN EXISTING PORTFOLIO Camco has continued to focus on the execution of its existing project portfolio and has advanced its projects through the Kyoto approval process. Overall, there has been good progress in the implementation of existing projects resulting in increased certainty of successful Carbon Credit commercialisation. Camco has received a further 3 Host Country Letters of Approval from the Chinese authorities for projects totalling 21,600,000 tonnes, all in the Coal Mine Methane sector. As a result, after reclassifications, 38% of Camco's contracted project tonnes now have Host Country approval, further improving visibility on the estimated volume of Carbon Credits. NEW BUSINESS EXPANSION Camco has increased the number of projects contracted under carbon share arrangements and its reserve of Carbon in specie rights continues to grow. Since 7 August, Camco's gross portfolio has expanded to 125,300,000 million tonnes, of which 100,300,000 million are now under exclusive contract and 25,000,000 million are under late stage negotiation, demonstrating Camco's success in expanding its portfolio. These figures include a downward adjustment of projected Carbon Credits from the contracted portfolio during the 2008-12 Kyoto commitment period totalling 2,300,000 tonnes, where changes to the scope of the projects may lead to lower carbon credit generation than previously expected. OPERATIONS REPORT Camco's operational efforts have focused on building up a flexible and robust infrastructure on which we can grow our teams in China and in Russia, and to expand our presence in other markets. In China, Camco is a well-established and respected market leader and business there continues to expand, with new project wins and new staff in both business development and CDM process roles. Through the acquisition of MCF, Camco has again expanded its staff numbers in Russia. Camco continues to work on its project pipeline in Russia in preparation for the Russian government's finalisation of JI regulations. In Central and Eastern Europe, there remains good potential for renewable energy projects, especially in wind energy. Camco will utilise its existing European and Russian presence to develop this market further as warranted. In South Africa, Camco has retained a number of business developers to capitalise on the opportunities brought to it from its extensive network of contacts. A number of projects are in late stage negotiations and further developments in the Africa portfolio are expected.
