Interim Results

Yujin International Ltd, the owner and charterer of a fleet of tankers operating in the Asia Pacific region is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30(th) June 2015.

Key Points

v Shipping Revenue decreased by 4% from US$ 3.2 million to US$ 3.1 million year-on-year. The decline in year-on-year revenue reflects the Company's continued weak charter rates and reduction in ship management activities.

v Regional chemical tanker, MT Team Bee is on a spot contract until her scheduled dry docking in mid-October 2015. The other regional bitumen tanker, MT Arcturus is on a term contract which is due for renewal in November 2015.

v Yujin's subsidiary, JR Orion Services, managed nine (9) ships as of 30 June 2015. This reflects the sale of one (1) managed ship by its third party owner in February 2015.

v Reduction of operating expenses through a combination of reduced staff numbers, freezing of all staff salaries and closure of non-operating companies.

v Yujin expects business to remain difficult due to the challenging shipping environment which currently exists in the Asia Pacific region.

v The Company remains in discussions to develop and grow the business with potential strategic partners and to maintain its AIM listing.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The Board of Yujin is pleased to present its interim financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

Shipping revenue has decreased by four per cent 4% year-on-year to US$ 3.10 million due to weaker charter rates and reduced in ship management, resulting in an operating loss of US$ 0.56 million.

A summary of the Group's unaudited revenue, operating profit or loss before tax for the six months ended 30 June 2015, and comparative figures for the same period in 2014, is presented below:

REGIONAL TANKERS

Yujin owned 4772 DWT chemical tanker, MT Team Bee, has been continuously on spot charter contract in 2015 until her scheduled dry docking in mid-October 2015. Yujin's other owned 4999 DWT bitumen tanker, MT Arcturus, has been on a term contract and her next renewal will be due in November 2015.

BUNKER TANKERS

There has been no activity in 2015 due to the sale of the Group's bunker tankers in 2013. The Company is in the process of closing the non-operating ship owning companies with the completion of 2014 audit.

SHIP MANAGEMENT AND RELATED ACTIVITIES

Yujin, through its wholly owned subsidiary, JR Orion Services Pte Ltd, managed nine (9) ships as of 30 June 2015 following the sale of one managed ship by its third party owner in February 2015.

FINANCE INCOME

Finance income is mainly attributable to foreign exchange gain of US$ 62,000 and offset by interest expense on bank loan of US$ 31,000.

CURRENT TRADING AND OUTLOOK

The Company continues to review opportunities to develop and grow the business with potential strategic partners, with a view to maintaining its AIM listing.

The regional shipping market is expected to continue to remain weak. Demand for regional tankers is marginally strong as the number of similar small range size vessels has shrunk while regional cargo movement has eased for the past six (6) months. Hence, freight rates in many sectors have remained soft reflecting a continued demand/supply imbalance while fuel costs have remained low.

If freight rates and cargo demand does not improve, the environment in which the Group operates will remain challenging with potential negative effects on its financial performance.

In response to this challenging operating environment and decline in the Group's financial performance, the Board has implemented plans to reduce operating expenses through a combination of reduced staff numbers, freezing of all staff salaries and closure of non-operating companies.
