ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL INC. ("Aberdeen", or the "Company") (TSX:AAB) today
announces that the value of its investment portfolio as at April 30, 2014, the
end of its 2015 first fiscal quarter, was approximately $44.0 million including
a cash balance of $0.3 million. This equates to a value of $0.50 per basic share
outstanding based on Aberdeen's investment portfolio alone. This report of the
portfolio value is not equivalent to the net asset value that has been
previously reported by Aberdeen as it does not include assets and liabilities of
the Company that are not treated as investments. Rather, this report refers only
to the cash, equity investments (private and public), option-type investments
(for example, warrants) and corporate debt/loans receivable of the Company.
The value of the investment portfolio decreased from the value as at January 31,
2014 by approximately $1.6 million or 3.5 percent. First quarter financial
results are expected to be released on or before June 14, 2014, which include
the Company's other assets and liabilities.
