Item 1 – Reports to Stockholders

 



 

 


 

 

Closed-end funds are traded on the secondary market through one of the stock exchanges. The Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s 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 fund’s 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.

 

Aberdeen Asset Management (AAM) is the marketing name in the U.S. for the following affiliated, registered investment advisers: Aberdeen Asset Management Inc., Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited, Aberdeen Asset Management Limited and Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited, each of which is wholly owned by Aberdeen Asset Management PLC. “Aberdeen” is a U.S. registered service trademark of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC.

Dear Shareholder,

 

We present this Semi-Annual Report which covers the activities of Aberdeen Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.

Total Return Performance

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the total return to shareholders of the Fund based on the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund, net of fees, was 2.22%, assuming reinvestment of dividends and distributions, versus a return of 6.05% for the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Indonesia Index.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, based on market price, the Fund’s total return was 1.29%, assuming reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

Report of the Investment Adviser   (unaudited)

 

 

 


Market Review

 

The Indonesian stock market rose for the six–month period ended June 30, 2013, despite increasing volatility towards period-end. Initially, equities rose amid still-healthy gross domestic product (GDP) growth, underpinned by robust foreign buying that propelled the market benchmark to successive highs. (1)  Market sentiment was then roiled by worries that the U.S. Federal Reserve could curtail its bond-buying program in view of the recovering U.S. economy, triggering a major correction in June. Also, depressing equity prices were concerns over a prolonged credit crunch in China as Beijing grappled with “shadow banking.” (2)  Foreign investors pulled out, causing the Indonesian stock market and the rupiah to fall sharply. Subsequent backpedalling by central banks in both China and the U.S. aided a late rebound, and the MSCI Indonesia Index, (3)  the market benchmark, managed to hang on to its early gains in spite of the sell-off. Looking ahead, investor sentiment is likely to stay vulnerable to many of the same concerns from the past six-month period. Debt issues in the US are still unresolved, and the International Monetary Fund recently cut global growth estimates on continued weakness in the Eurozone. Domestically, though, Indonesia’s fundamentals remain relatively attractive. Jakarta’s minimum wage hike and the corresponding increase in disposable incomes should bode well for domestic demand. On the other hand, we believe the current account deficit is likely to persist into 2013 and continue to put pressure on the local currency.

 

Fund Performance Review

 

The Fund underperformed versus its benchmark, the MSCI Indonesia Index, for the reporting period, as overall negative stock selection outweighed the positive contribution of asset allocation.

 

Among the individual stock detractors was the Fund’s holding in Bank OCBC NISP, as the lender’s share price weakened despite its good fundamentals, with loan growth and asset quality still robust, in our view. The position in Holcim Indonesia also had a negative impact, as

the cement company’s first-quarter 2013 earnings slipped amid falling sales and rising costs. Additionally, Jardine Cycle and Carriage detracted from Fund performance as the company’s profits were hurt by intense competition and wage pressures, while weak demand and rising costs weighed on the heavy equipment, agriculture and infrastructure segments. Despite the cyclical weakness, we maintain our view that the company, through its interest in Indonesian conglomerate Astra International, is poised to benefit from the nation’s long-term growth potential.

 

Conversely, Multi Bintang Indonesia contributed to performance as the brewer’s shares were lifted by double-digit growth in its core beer business and good progress in the soft drinks segment. Also benefiting Fund performance was the holding in Astra International as its shares rallied in tandem with the market earlier in the year. Bank Permata’s shares also performed well, buoyed by continued growth in loans and net interest income, while its asset quality remained solid, in our view.

 

Outlook

 

Looking ahead, we believe that the Indonesian stock market will continue to be buffeted by concerns over the slowing economy. In particular, the government, which faces elections next year, may potentially need to balance both appeasing voters disgruntled by higher fuel prices and keeping the economy on its growth trajectory. In our opinion, doing neither raises the specter of widespread social unrest that has already affected other emerging markets, such as Brazil and Turkey. However, we feel there is room for some optimism. The Asian Development Bank believes that the country’s prospects remain intact and that it will emerge from its travails unscathed. (4)  In the longer term, we believe that the cut in the fuel subsidy is a good thing: government revenue can be redeployed to improve the country’s creaky infrastructure, which is causing bottlenecks and hampering growth.

Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited may waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, but has made no determination to do so. Returns represent past performance. Total investment return at net asset value is based on changes in the net asset value of Fund shares and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at market prices pursuant to the dividend reinvestment program sponsored by the Fund’s transfer agent. Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the 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 Fund’s transfer agent. The Fund’s annual total return is based on the reported NAV on June 30, 2013. Because the Fund’s 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.  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 Fund’s yield, return, market price and NAV will fluctuate. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available by calling 866-839-5205.

 

The annualized gross and net expense ratios are 1.40%.

Aberdeen Indonesia Fund, Inc.

 

 


 

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

June 30, 2013

 


1. Organization

 

Aberdeen Indonesia Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on January 8, 1990 and commenced investment operations on March 9, 1990. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund trades on the NYSE MKT under the ticker symbol “IF”.

 

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation as a primary objective and income as a secondary objective by investing primarily in Indonesian equity and debt securities.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements of the Fund are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The U.S. Dollar is used as both the functional and reporting currency.

 

(a) Security Valuation:

 

The Fund is required to value its securities at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

Equity securities that are traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded at the “Valuation Time”, subject to application, when appropriate, of the valuation factors described in the paragraph below. The Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). In the absence of a sale price, the security is valued at the mean of the bid/ask price quoted at the close on the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) are valued at the market price of the security at the Valuation Time. A security using any of these pricing methodologies is determined as a Level 1 investment.

 

Foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges that close prior to the Valuation Time are valued by applying valuation factors to the last sale price or the mean price as noted above. Valuation factors are provided by an independent pricing service provider. These valuation factors are used when pricing the Fund’s

portfolio holdings to estimate market movements between the time markets close and the time the Fund values such foreign securities. When the prices with the application of valuation factors are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. These valuation factors are based on inputs, such as depositary receipts, S&P 500 Index/S&P 500 Futures, Nikkei 225 Futures, sector indices/ETFs, exchange rates, and historical opening and closing prices of each security. If the pricing service is unable to provide a valuation factor, or if the valuation factor falls below a predetermined threshold, the security is valued at the last sale price. A security that applies a valuation factor is determined as a Level 2 investment. When no valuation factor is applied, the security is determined as a Level 1 investment.

 

In the event that a security’s market quotation is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, the fair value of a security is determined by the Fund’s Pricing Committee (which is appointed by the Board of Directors), taking into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. A security that has been fair valued may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the nature of the inputs.

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy assigns Level 1 measurements to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 measurements to valuations based upon adjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and Level 3 measurements to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;

 

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk,etc); or

 

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has adopted a policy of recognizing transfers at the end of each period. As described above, certain foreign securities are valued utilizing an independent pricing service to reflect any significant market movements between the time the Fund values such foreign securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. For some securities, if the pricing service is unable to provide a valuation factor, the utilization of these procedures may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, securities issued by PT Bank Permata Tbk and PT Wintermar Offshore Marine Tbk, in the amount of $12,799,980 and $2,262,088 respectively, transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 because there was not a fair value factor applied at June 30, 2013. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the securities issued by PT Sepatu Bata Tbk, in the amount of $3,665,491, remained Level 3 as the security was not being actively priced and was fair valued by the Fund’s Pricing Committee using the last available mean price with no adjustment.

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the securities issued by MP Evans Group PLC and Multi Bintang Indonesia, in the amount of $5,307,944 and $6,167,425, respectively, transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 because there was a fair value factor applied at June 30, 2013. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, there have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies.

(b) Short-Term Investment:

 

The Fund sweeps available cash into a short-term time deposit available through Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH & Co.”), the Fund’s custodian. The short-term time deposit is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.

 

(c) Foreign Currency Transactions:

 

Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. Dollars on the following basis:

 

(I)            market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange at the Valuation Time; and

 

(II)         purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

The Fund does not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Accordingly, realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses with respect to such securities are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment transactions balances.

 

The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions and foreign taxes withheld on security transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such foreign currency related transactions are treated as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at period-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation/depreciation in value of investments, and translation of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

 

Net realized foreign currency transactions represent foreign exchange gains and losses from transactions in foreign currencies and forward foreign currency contracts, exchange gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date on security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin, including unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar. Generally, when the U.S. Dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Fund’s investments

denominated in that a currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer U.S. Dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the U.S. Dollar falls in relative value.

 

(d) Security Transactions and Investment Income:

 

Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends on foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

 

(e) Distributions:

 

On an annual basis, the Fund intends to distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, by way of a final distribution to be declared during the calendar quarter ending December 31. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for foreign currencies.

 

(f) Federal Income Taxes:

 

The Fund intends to qualify or continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”), and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns for each of the prior four years up to the year ended December 31, 2012 are subject to such review.

 

3. Agreements and Transactions With Affiliates

 

(a) Investment Adviser:

 

Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited (“AAMAL”) serves as the Fund’s investment adviser with respect to all investments. AAMAL is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC. AAMAL receives as compensation for its advisory services from the Fund an annual fee, calculated weekly and paid quarterly, equal to

1.00% of the first $50 million of the Fund’s average weekly net assets, 0.95% of the next $50 million and 0.90% of amounts above $100 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, AAMAL earned $610,304 for advisory services to the Fund.

 

(b) Fund Administration:

 

BBH & Co. is the Administrator for the Fund and certain other funds advised by AAMAL and its affiliates (collectively the “Funds”). The Funds pay BBH & Co. a monthly administration and fund accounting service fee at an annual rate of 0.02% of the Funds’ aggregate assets up to $250 million, 0.015% for the next $250 million and 0.01% in excess of $500 million.

 

Each Fund pays its pro rata portion of the fee based on its level of assets, with a monthly minimum of $2,500. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, BBH & Co. earned $14,875 from the Fund for administrative and fund accounting services.

 

(c) Investor Relations:

 

Under the terms of an Investor Relations Services Agreement, Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (“AAMI”), an affiliate of AAMAL, provides investor relations services to the Fund and certain other funds advised by AAMAL or its affiliates.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Relations Services Agreement, AAMI, among other things, provides objective and timely information to shareholders based on publicly-available information; provides information efficiently through the use of technology while offering shareholders immediate access to knowledgeable investor relations representatives; develops and maintains effective communications with investment professionals from a wide variety of firms; creates and maintains investor relations communication materials such as fund manager interviews, films and webcasts, published white papers, magazine and articles and other relevant materials discussing the Fund’s investment results, portfolio positioning and outlook; develops and maintains effective communications with large institutional shareholders; responds to specific shareholder questions; and reports activities and results to the Board and management detailing insight into general shareholder sentiment.

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Fund paid fees of approximately $28,574 investor relations services. Investor relations fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations include certain out-of pocket expenses.

 

(d) Director Purchase Plan:

 

Fifty percent (50%) of the annual retainer of the Independent Directors is invested in Fund shares and, at the option of each Independent Director, 100% of the annual retainer can be invested in shares of the Fund. During

the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, there was no retainer paid to the Directors and therefore were no shares purchased pursuant to the Directors compensation plan. As of June 30, 2013, the Directors as a group owned less than 1% of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

 

4. Investment Transactions

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, Fund purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, were $8,190,710 and $12,665,350, respectively.

 

5. Capital

 

The authorized capital stock of the Fund is 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. As of June 30, 2013, the Fund had 9,485,247 shares issued and outstanding.

 

On December 7, 2012 the Board of Directors announced that it declared the payment of an elective cash distribution to be paid in the amount of $2.27950 per share of common stock on January 31, 2013 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 21, 2012. As announced, the distribution was payable in the Fund’s common stock. However, shareholders had the option to request that their distributions be paid in cash in lieu of common stock. The aggregate amount of cash distributions to all stockholders was limited to 20% of the aggregate dollar amount of the total distribution. Because cash distribution requests exceeded this limit, the Fund prorated the cash distribution among all stockholders who made such requests. Shareholders who requested cash distributions received $0.67042 per share or 29.41% of the distribution in cash and received the balance in the Fund’s common stock. For purposes of computing the stock portion of the dividend, the common stock distributed was valued at $12.43 per share, which equaled the average closing price of the Fund’s common shares on the NYSE MKT on January 23, 2013 and the two preceding trading days. Following the closing of the elective cash distribution, the Fund’s number of outstanding shares was 9,485,247.

 

6. Open Market Repurchase Program

 

The Board authorized, but does not require, management to make open market purchases from time to time in an amount up to 10% of the Fund’s outstanding shares, in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and other applicable federal securities laws. Such purchases may be made when, in the reasonable judgment of management, such repurchases may enhance shareholder value and when the Fund’s shares are trading at a discount to net asset value of 12% or more, subject to intraday fluctuations that may result in repurchases at discounts below 12%. The Board has instructed management to report repurchase activity to it regularly, and to post the number of shares repurchased on the Fund’s website

on a monthly basis. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Fund did not repurchase any shares through this program.

 

7. Portfolio Investment Risks

 

(a) Risks Associated with Foreign Securities and Currencies:

 

Investments in securities of foreign issuers carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, among others, currency risk, information risk and political risk. Currency risk results from securities denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars that are subject to changes in value due to fluctuations in exchange rates. Information risk arises with respect to foreign securities when key information about foreign issuers may be inaccurate or unavailable. Political risk includes future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments, which could adversely affect investments in those countries. Other risks of investing in foreign securities include liquidity and valuation risks.

 

Certain countries also may impose substantial restrictions on investments in their capital markets by foreign entities, including restrictions on investments in issuers of industries deemed sensitive to relevant national interests. These factors may limit the investment opportunities available and result in a lack of liquidity and high price volatility with respect to securities of issuers from developing countries.

 

Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad. Amounts repatriated prior to the end of specified periods may be subject to taxes as imposed by a foreign country.

 

(b) Risks Associated with Indonesian Markets:

 

The limited liquidity of the Indonesian and other foreign securities markets may also affect the Fund’s ability to acquire or dispose of securities at a price and time that it wishes to do so. Accordingly, in periods of rising market prices, the Fund may be unable to participate in such price increases fully to the extent that it is unable to acquire desired portfolio positions quickly; conversely the Fund’s inability to dispose fully and promptly of positions in declining markets will cause its net asset value to decline as the value of unsold positions is marked to lower prices.

 

The Indonesian securities market is an emerging market characterized by a small number of company listings, high price volatility and a

relatively illiquid secondary trading environment. These factors, coupled with restrictions on investment by foreigners and other factors, limit the supply of securities available for investment by the Fund. This will affect the rate at which the Fund is able to invest in Indonesian and other foreign securities, the purchase and sale prices for such securities and the timing of purchases and sales.

 

(c) Risks Associated with European Markets:

 

A number of countries in Europe have experienced severe economic and financial difficulties. Many non-governmental issuers, and even certain governments, have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts; many other issuers have faced difficulties obtaining credit or refinancing existing obligations; financial institutions have in many cases required government or central bank support, have needed to raise capital, and/or have been impaired in their ability to extend credit; and financial markets in Europe and elsewhere have experienced extreme volatility and declines in asset values and liquidity. These difficulties may continue, worsen or spread within and without Europe whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries. These events could negatively affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments.

 

8. Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

9. Tax Information

 

At June 30, 2013, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized appreciation from investments were $72,900,443, $60,725,124, $(7,268,610) and $53,456,514, respectively.

 

10. Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financials statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments were required to the financial statements as of June 30, 2013.
