Source: Aberdeen Asset Management, Lipper, BNP Paribas Basis: Total Return, NAV to NAV, net of annual charges, gross income reinvested, CAD Market review Over the quarter The Bank of Canada kept rates unchanged at 1%. As the year has progressed the language did change somewhat in the interest rate statement, inflation risks were no longer roughly balanced as both headline and core CPI inflation figures have firmed up. Fund review Having been relatively short, we have been seeking out better names to push the overall maturity of the fund longer preferring the 3 month maturity term where rates have been relatively stable. We have added some quality 1-year fixed and floating rate notes which offer attractive yields relative to the curve. Outlook Provided the US recovery remains on track, the Bank of Canada will need to keep an eye on growth prospects domestically when looking at their interest rate policy over the coming months. We expect better US data to continue to filter into the Canadian data but due to the cited global uncertainty, the Bank of Canada is likely to be in wait-and-see mode for the time being. Economic data for the quarter was slightly disappointing, unemployment was up to 7.6% and GDP came down from 2.7% to 2.0%. Core CPI increased to 2.3% from 2.1% year on year and headline CPI was up from 2.5% to 2.6%, this was due to economic slack and higher oil prices. Libor rates rose significantly over the quarter as the market went from pricing out any cut in rates to moving towards guessing when a rise might now be due. The 1-year rate rose by 10 basis points to 1.92% during the period. www.aberdeen-asset.com 07

Euro Fund 1 January 2012 to 31 March 2012 Performance For the period ended 31 March 2012, the Aberdeen Liquidity Fund (Lux) Euro Fund (A2 share class) returned 0.13% compared to a return of 0.06% for the benchmark, 100% 7 day EUR Libid. Source: Aberdeen Asset Management, Lipper, BNP Paribas Basis: Total Return, NAV to NAV, net of annual charges, gross income reinvest, EUR Market review The European Central Bank (ECB) left the main refinancing rate unchanged throughout the period, there have been no changes made to its non-standard measures. They did note that there were signs of stabilisation in the economy but at very low levels. The injection of liquidity by way of their 3 year long term refining operation (LTRO) programme in December and again in February has alleviated much of the funding stress for the European banks. Fund review With funding markets more liquid we have extended maturities, away from European banking names which we are keeping in the 1 month area due to market volatility. We have been also buying at issue and in the secondary market good quality floating rate notes which have offered attractive yields relative to the curve. Other maturities have been rolled, keeping quality issuers, in the 3 month maturity area. Outlook The interest rate cuts by the ECB last year have shown a degree of willingness on their part to support peripheral nations. There were calls earlier in the quarter for further cuts, however inflation is a worry for the ECB and as such market expectations are for rates to remain on hold. Greece continued to hold the headlines. The agreement between the International Monetary Fund (IMF), ECB and European Commission on the terms of the Greek bailout package was received positively by markets. Greece avoided a hard default after private investors suffered at 70+% NPV loss on their bonds. With parliamentary elections coming up in April and further support in the polls for the extreme left and right of the political spectrum, all eyes are focused on the upcoming months. Economic data disappointed throughout with fourth quarter GDP pointing to contraction. Manufacturing, Services and Composite PMIs all ticked down lower than expectations coming in at 47.7, 48.7, and 48.7 respectively. Following better funding conditions and an agreement between politicians to increase the firewall fund, rates have continued to ease.

Sterling Fund 1 January 2012 to 31 March 2012 Performance For the period ended 31 March 2012, the Aberdeen Liquidity Fund (Lux) Sterling Fund (A2 share class) returned 0.14% compared to a return of 0.12% for the benchmark, 100% 7 day GBP Libid. Source: Aberdeen Asset Management, Lipper, BNP Paribas Basis: Total Return, NAV to NAV, net of annual charges, gross income reinvest, GBP Market review The Monetary Policy committee (MPC) voted in favour of increasing quantitative easing (QE) measures by 50 billion, a figure widely in line with expectations. This will take the Bank of England s total Asset Purchase Facility (APF) to 325 billion. It remains to be seen whether the MPC will sanction any further QE, although the economic recovery is far from on track, inflation continues to remain a problem. Inflation data consistently fell over the quarter, with headline CPI falling from 3.6% to 3.4%. The February inflation report was less dovish than anticipated with upward revisions to inflation and growth. However, better growth depends on the situation with Europe as to whether the UK can indeed avoid a technical recession following the poor GDP data in the fourth quarter and what looks to be a poor start to the first quarter. March s budget set out a broad range of changes that, overall, were fiscally neutral but underlined the tough austerity measures the UK had to face. Fund review Markets were more liquid at the outset of the quarter and with rates in the 1 year at elevated levels we extended the maturity term by adding some 1 year paper in quality names only. We have continued to push longer on our view that yields could still soften further, although it is difficult to find quality issuers at the longer end. We have also been adding some floating rates notes at attractive yields relative to the curve. Our strategy has been to add yield and look to diversify whilst maintaining overall quality. Outlook The MPC is likely to remain cautious over the overall level of inflation, although it is higher than where they expected the level to be, they still see it falling over the longer term. This does not suggest that rates are likely to rise, the UK still faces a number of headwinds and with the situation in Europe deteriorating, any sign of economic recovery will lack any traction for now. Rates are likely to be on hold until at least 2014. The additional liquidity measures introduced by the European Central Bank (ECB) in December 2011 and again in February have seen the heightened stress levels amongst banks start to ease, although remaining elevated. Libor rates under 9 months fell 4-5 basis points, whereas the longer dates to 1 year remained underpinned by higher inflation expectations and were just 2 basis points lower with the 1 year at 1.86%. www.aberdeen-asset.com 13

US Dollar Fund 1 January 2012 to 31 March 2012 Performance For the period ended 31 March 2012, the Aberdeen Liquidity Fund (Lux) US Dollar Fund (A2 share class) returned 0.08% compared to a return of 0.02% for the benchmark, 100% 7 day USD Libid. Source: Aberdeen Asset Management, Lipper, BNP Paribas Basis: Total Return, NAV to NAV, net of annual charges, gross income reinvest, USD Market review The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) squashed any hopes of additional quantitative easing (QE) citing a softer labour market given the recent declines in the unemployment rate during the quarter. The strong GDP data surprised the markets as well, belying the suggestions from the Federal Reserve in February that growth was frustratingly slow. The FOMC remain committed to keeping the federal funds rate at historic lows, it remains to be seen though whether this will be through until 2014 or whether an earlier move is warranted. Following much improved liquidity conditions provided by the European Central Bank (ECB) in the form of 3 year loans in December last year and a second tranche in February, short term funding rates have eased from their heightened levels during the fourth quarter. Libor levels as such have fallen circa 8 basis points which has taken the 1 year level to 1.05%. Fund review With much improved funding conditions, investors have been looking to extend the maturity term of assets. We have increased the maturity profile of the fund by buying 6 month and 1 year paper in decent names only, on our view and in line with the market that yields would ease from the recent highs. We continue to diversify where possible away from European names, or restrict investment there in the 1-month area. There have also been opportunities to buy some short dated high quality floating rate notes which have been at attractive levels relative to the curve. Outlook Although having acknowledged that the outlook has improved, the Federal Reserve, are likely to be cautious whilst unemployment still remains high.

The Unitholders shall have equal undivided co-ownership rights to all of the Fund s assets in proportion to the number of Units held by them and the corresponding Net Asset value of such Units. The Fund is established with UCITS status (an Undertaking for Collective Investment in transferable securities) as defined in the UCITS Directive. The Fund is authorised as an undertaking for collective investment in transferable securities under part 1 of the law dated 17 December 2010 on undertakings for collective investment. On 19 March 2012, the Board of Directors of the Management Company resolved to change the financial year end to 31 March going forward.

The financial statements of each individual Sub-Fund are expressed in the currency designated in the prospectus for that particular Sub-Fund and the financial statements of the Fund are expressed in US Dollars ( USD ). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the format prescribed by the Luxembourg authorities for Luxembourg investment companies. As the financial statements include certain accounting adjustments relating to the period ended 31 March 2012, the Net Asset Values shown throughout the report may differ from those advertised on 31 March 2012 for dealing in these Funds. 2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2.1 Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of investments. 2.2 Assets and portfolio securities valuation The valuation price of an investment is progressively adjusted to the redemption price, based on the net acquisition price and keeping the resultant yield to maturity constant (linear amortised cost basis). In the event of a significant change in market conditions, the basis for the valuation of different investments is adjusted based on the new market yields. If a valuation in accordance with the above rules is rendered impossible or incorrect due to special or changed circumstances, the Management Company is entitled to use other generally recognised valuation principles in order to value the sub-fund s assets. Security Acronyms EMTN Euro Medium Term Note FRN Floating Rate Note MTN Medium Term Note Starting from September 2007, daily comparisons were carried out between the amortized cost price and the last available market price. Based on these comparisons, the Management Company decided to create provisions within the respective sub-fund as protection against possible losses in the event of redemption-related sales.
