These valuations, which have been prepared in good faith by Aida, are based
principally on formal valuations supplied to Aida by the administrators of
Aida's underlying investments. In the case where no such formal valuation has
been received, an estimated valuation prepared by the manager or administrator
of the underlying investments has been used. Valuations or estimates are
unaudited and may not comply with generally accepted accounting or valuation
principles. Other risk factors which may be relevant to this valuation are set
out in Aida's prospectus dated 4th March 2008.
On 31st July 2009 side pockets accounted for 7.64% of the total assets of Aida
and 8.71% of invested assets.

eliminate leverage for investment purposes. As at the 30 June 2009 the Fund
ceased to employ leverage for investment purposes. The fund has been debt free
from the 17th July 2009 and has a net cash position.
A restructuring of Aida was outlined in a circular dated 4th August 2009. At an
EGM on the 24th August 2009 resolutions were passed to: (a) change Aida's
investment policy; (b) adopt revised articles of incorporation to provide,
amongst other things, for the conversion of Euro and Sterling denominated
Ordinary Shares into US Dollar denominated Ordinary Shares; (c) change the name
of Aida to the Aida Closed Ended Fund Limited; and (d) a capital
reorganisation of Aida to create side pocket shares for investments which did
not meet the investment policy criteria for new investments.
On 28th August 2009 Aida ceased hedging of currency classes and as part of the
restructuring of the fund Euro and Sterling share classes will be converted to
US Dollar shares at the exchange rate prevailing on 28th August 2009.
A prospectus for the open-ended fund and an application form to exchange shares
in Aida for shares in the open-ended fund will shortly be sent to shareholders
who have returned a completed Indication of Interest Form to Aida and who have
satisfied Aida that they are eligible to invest in the open-ended fund.
Aida Capital, the investment manager, remains available at all times to discuss
the fund and markets in general.
