Unaudited Interim Management Statement - 3 months to 31 July 2007

To the members of Aberdeen New Dawn Investment Trust PLC

This unaudited interim management statement has been produced solely to provide
additional information to shareholders as a body to meet the relevant
requirements of the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. It
should not be relied upon by any other party or for any other purpose.

This interim management statement relates to the period from 1 May 2007 to 31
July 2007, and contains information that covers this period, and up to the date
of publication of this interim management statement, unless otherwise specified.

Investment objective

To provide shareholders with a high level of capital growth through equity
investment in the Asia Pacific countries excluding Japan.

Benchmark

MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan (Sterling adjusted).  This benchmark includes
Australia and New Zealand.

Material events

During the period and subsequently global markets have experienced a degree of
turmoil triggered by concerns over the quality of U.S. sub-prime mortgages and
various debt structures sold to investors throughout the world.  The Company's
strategy remains unchanged: it continues to invest in quality companies with
strong balance sheets, run by experienced and trustworthy management, and the
region still boasts very strong growth rates. In many ways the Manager regards
the correction in markets as fundamentally healthy after their prolonged rise.
Importantly the Manager has confirmed that the Company's holdings' exposure to
US sub-prime debt and CDOs is minimal.

On 29 August 2007 the Company held its Annual General Meeting at which all
resolutions were passed.  The special business included resolutions to allow the
Company to issue shares (up to 10% of the issued share capital without
pre-emption); to buy back shares (up to 14.99% of the issued share capital); to
adopt new Articles of Association which allow facilitate electronic
communications with shareholders and to authorise the Company to communicate
electronically with its shareholders.

The Company's final dividend of 5.55p per Ordinary share will be paid on 31
August 2007.
