Kubera Cross-Border Fund Limited
Net Asset Value
Kubera Cross-Border Fund Limited (the "Fund") (LSE/AIM: KUBC) announces that as at close of business on 31 March 2010, its un-audited net asset value per share ("NAV") was US$ 1.17, a 9% increase from the prior quarter. The increase in NAV reflects the improved operating performance of the portfolio and the rebound in global and Indian public equity market valuations.
Valuation Methodology
The Fund's investments in securities are measured and reported at estimated fair value under US GAAP, in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.157, Fair Value Measurement.
If a security is listed on several stock exchanges or markets, the last closing price on the stock exchange or market which constitutes the main market for such security is used.
In the event that a listed security has no such price or the market price is not representative of the fair market value, the security has limited marketability, or the security is unlisted, its fair value is determined by the Investment Manager, taking into account forward market comparable multiples, trailing market comparable multiples, transaction multiples, and discounted cash flow models. Inputs include trading values on public exchanges for comparable securities, historic, current and projected operating performance, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. A discount of up to 10% is taken for holdings in securities where there is a risk associated with a lack of liquidity or marketability. A revaluation of these securities is accepted by the Fund only upon majority approval of the independent directors of the Fund.
