17.12.2013  |  Marketwired

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 17, 2013) - Aberdeen International Inc. ("Aberdeen", or the "Company") (TSX:AAB) has released its financial results for the third quarter of 2014, ended October 31, 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 October 31, 2013, Aberdeen's Shareholders' Equity (or Net Asset Value, "NAV") was $49.5 million, or $0.58 per share. Aberdeen's shareholders' equity decreased by $2.3 million from $51.8 million at the end of Q2 2014. The decrease in shareholders' equity was largely due to the performance of Aberdeen's equity investment portfolio in the third quarter, which had a total investment loss of $2.3 million for the quarter. In the third 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 $24.4 million. Note that the reference to shareholders' equity is similar to previous references to Net Asset Value or "NAV" by Aberdeen.
