Managed Distribution Policy (unaudited)
The Board of Directors of the Fund has authorized a managed distribution policy (MDP) of paying monthly distributions at an annual rate set once a year. It is the Boards intention that a monthly distribution of $0.07 per share be maintained for 12 months beginning with the June 30, 2015 distribution payment. With each distribution, the Fund will issue a notice to shareholders and an accompanying press release which will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other information required by the Funds MDP exemptive order. The Funds Board of Directors may amend or terminate the MDP at any time without prior notice to shareholders; however, at this time, there are no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause the termination of the MDP. You should not draw any conclusions about the Funds investment performance from the amount of distributions or from the terms of the Funds MDP.
Distribution Disclosure Classification (unaudited)
The Funds policy is to provide investors with a stable monthly distribution out of current income, supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital.
The Fund is subject to U.S. corporate, tax and securities laws. Under U.S. tax rules, the amount applicable to the Fund and character of distributable income for each fiscal period depends on the actual exchange rates during the entire year between the U.S. Dollar and the currencies in which Fund assets are denominated and on the aggregate gains and losses realized by the Fund during the entire year.
Therefore, the exact amount of distributable income for each fiscal year can only be determined as of the end of the Funds fiscal year, October 31. Under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), the Fund is required to indicate the sources of certain distributions to shareholders. The estimated distribution composition may vary from month to month because it may be materially impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses on securities and fluctuations in the value of the currencies in which the Funds assets are denominated.
Based on generally accepted accounting principles, the Fund estimates that distributions for the fiscal year commenced November 1, 2014, through the distributions declared on May 11, 2015 and June 9, 2015, consisted of 53% net investment income and 47% Return of Capital.
In January 2016, a Form 1099-DIV will be sent to shareholders, which will state the amount and composition of distributions and provide information with respect to their appropriate tax treatment for the 2015 calendar year.
Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (unaudited)
Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (Computershare), the Funds transfer agent, sponsors and administers a Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan), which is available to shareholders.
The Plan allows registered stockholders and first time investors to buy and sell shares and automatically reinvest dividends and capital gains through the transfer agent. This is a cost-effective way to invest in the Fund.
Please note that for both purchases and reinvestment purposes, shares will be purchased in the open market at the current share price and cannot be issued directly by the Fund.
For more information about the Plan and a brochure that includes the terms and conditions of the Plan, please call Computershare at 1-800-647-0584 or visit www.computershare.com/buyaberdeen.

Total Investment Returns (unaudited)
The following table summarizes the average annual Fund performance compared to the Funds blended benchmark consisting of 20% of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofA ML) All Maturity Australia Government Index1, 20% of the BofA ML UK Gilt Index2, 15% of the BofA ML Canadian Government Index3, 15% of the BofA ML New Zealand Government Index4 and 30% of the BofA ML Global Emerging Markets Sovereign & Credit Index5 for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods as of April 30, 2015. It is not expected that the Funds performance will mirror that of the benchmark. The Funds principal investment objective is to provide high current income by investing primarily in fixed income securities. As a secondary investment objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation, but only when consistent with its principal investment objective.

Returns represent past performance. Total investment return at net asset value (NAV) is based on changes in the NAV of Fund shares and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at market prices pursuant to the dividend reinvestment program sponsored by the Funds transfer agent. All return data at NAV includes investment management fees, administrative fees (such as Director and legal fees) and custodial charges. Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the Funds shares traded on the NYSE MKT during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at market prices pursuant to the dividend reinvestment program sponsored by the Funds transfer agent. Because the Funds shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the Fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on both market price and NAV. The Funds total return is based on the reported NAV on each annual period end. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions received from the Fund. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. The Funds yield, return, market price and NAV will fluctuate. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available at www.aberdeenfco.com or by calling 800-522-5465.
The net operating expense ratio based on the six months ended April 30, 2015 is 2.78%. The net operating expense ratio, excluding interest expense, based on the six months ended April 30, 2015 is 2.33%. These ratios include a one-time expense associated with the January 2011 shelf offering costs attributed to the registered but unsold shares that expired in January 2015.

Financial Highlights (concluded)
(a) | Based on average shares outstanding. |
(b) | Total investment return based on market value is calculated assuming that shares of the Funds common stock were purchased at the closing market price as of the beginning of the period, dividends, capital gains, and other distributions were reinvested as provided for in the Funds dividend reinvestment plan and then sold at the closing market price per share on the last day of the period. The computation does not reflect any sales commission investors may incur in purchasing or selling shares of the Fund. The total investment return based on the net asset value is similarly computed except that the Funds net asset value is substituted for the closing market value. |
(c) | The total return shown above includes the impact of financial statement rounding of the NAV per share and/or financial statement adjustments. |
(d) | Annualized. |
(e) | Asset coverage ratio is calculated by dividing net assets plus the amount of any borrowings, including Series A Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares, for investment purposes by the amount of any long-term debt obligations, which includes the senior secured notes, revolving credit facility and term loans. |
(f) | The expense ratio includes a one-time expense associated with the January 2011 shelf offering costs attributable to the registered but unsold shares that expired in January 2015. Please see Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements for further information. |
Amounts listed as are $0 or round to $0.

Closed-end funds are traded on the secondary market through one of the stock exchanges. The Funds investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investors shares may be worth more or less than the original cost. Shares of closed-end funds may trade above (a premium) or below (a discount) the net asset value (NAV) of the funds portfolio. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Foreign securities are more volatile, harder to price and less liquid than U.S. securities. They are subject to different accounting and regulatory standards, and political and economic risks. These risks may be enhanced in emerging market countries. Concentrating investments in the Asia-Pacific region subjects the fund to more volatility and greater risk of loss than geographically diverse funds.
