17.06.2013  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/17/13 -- ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL INC. ("Aberdeen", or the"Company") (TSX: AAB) released its financial results for the first quarter of 2014, ended April 30, 2013. For more information please see the Company's Condensed Interim Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") posted on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.


As at April 30, 2013, Aberdeen's Shareholders' Equity (or Net Asset Value, "NAV") was $55.2 million, or $0.64 per share. Aberdeen's shareholders' equity decreased by $10.3 million from $65.5 million at the end of Q4 2013. The decrease in shareholders' equity was largely due to the performance of Aberdeen's equity investment portfolio in the first quarter, which had an unrealized loss of $8.7 million for the quarter. In the first quarter of 2014, the stock market performance for small capitalization mining and resource stocks continued to be weak. On a year-over-year basis, Aberdeen's shareholders' equity decreased by $24.0 million. Note that the reference to shareholders' equity is similar to previous references to Net Asset Value or "NAV" by Aberdeen.
