The board is extremely pleased that shareholders have voted in favour of
continuation  as an investment trust. Our major shareholders  have  been
very  supportive of the trust with almost 60% of shareholders voting  at
the  meeting.  For Resolution 7, the continuation of the Company  as  an
investment trust, 97.3% of shareholders voting at the meeting  voted  in

that  ties  between  the existing management team and Aberdeen's  highly
regarded  Far  Eastern team provide enhanced resources and will  benefit
the trust.
