TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 7, 2013) - ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL INC. ("Aberdeen", or the "Company") (TSX:AAB) today announces that the value of its investment portfolio as at October 31, 2013, the end of its 2014 third fiscal quarter, was approximately $47.8 million including a cash balance of $1.2 million. This equates to a value of $0.56 per basic share outstanding based on Aberdeen's investment portfolio alone.

The value of the investment portfolio decreased from the value as at July 31, 2013 by approximately $2.9 million or 5.7 percent. Third quarter financial results are expected to be released on or before December 15, 2013, which include the Company's other assets and liabilities.
