released its financial results for the first quarter of 2015, ended April 30,
2014. 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, 2014, Aberdeen's Shareholders' Equity (or Net Asset Value,
"NAV") was $46.5 million, or $0.53 per share. Aberdeen's shareholders' equity
decreased by $1.0 million from $47.5 million at the end of Q4 2014. The decrease
in shareholders' equity was largely due to the performance of Aberdeen's equity
investment portfolio, which had a total investment loss of $0.4 million for the
quarter and general and administrative expenses offset by an income tax recovery
of $0.6 million. On a year-over-year basis, Aberdeen's shareholders' equity
decreased by $8.7 million. Note that the reference to shareholders' equity is
similar to previous references to Net Asset Value or "NAV" by Aberdeen.
