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 2014.

Key Points

v Shipping Revenue down 55% from US$ 7.2 million to US$ 3.2 million year-on-year. The decline in year-on-year revenue reflects the Company's exit from the bunker market and continued weak charter rates.

v Regional chemical tanker, MT Team Bee is on a spot contract and the other regional bitumen tanker, MT Arcturus is on a term contract.

v No revenue or contribution has been recorded for bunker tankers in 2014 due to the sale of the fleet of vessels.

v Yujin's subsidiary, JR Orion Services, managed 10 ships as at 30 June 2014 down from 13 ships at the same time last year.

v Unrealized foreign exchange loss of US$ 238,000 due to the weakening of the US Dollar.

v Reduction of operating expenses through a combination of reduced staff numbers and decreased employee compensation.

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

v As announced, the Company remains in discussions with potential strategic partners to explore other business opportunities in both related as well as unrelated industries.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The Board of Yujin is pleased to present its interim financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2014.

Shipping revenue is down 55% year-on-year to US$ 3.2 million after the sale of our Bunker Tankers and a drop in charter rates, resulting in an operating loss of US$ 0.9 million.

A summary of the Group's unaudited revenue, operating profit or loss before tax for the six months ended 30 June 2014, and comparative figures for the same period in 2013, is presented below:

REGIONAL TANKERS

One of Yujin's owned chemical tankers, MT Team Bee has been on a spot contract since November 2013. Yujin's other owned regional bitumen tanker, MT Arcturus is on a term contract. Inspite of tight operating cost controls, the drop in revenue flowed straight onto the bottom line and was compounded by an increase in repair and maintenance costs for Team Bee.

BUNKER TANKERS

All of Yujin's bunker tankers had been sold by October 2013 and as a result no revenue or contributions have been recorded in 2014.

SHIP MANAGEMENT AND RELATED ACTIVITIES

The ship management operation incurred major losses due to the loss of four third party owned ships as well as the four Yujin bunker tankers. As at 30(th) June 2014, the Group manages a total of 10 ships.

FINANCE COST

The finance cost was mainly due to unrealized foreign exchange loss of US$ 238,000 due to the weakening of the US Dollar.

CURRENT TRADING AND OUTLOOK

The Company is still in discussions with the potential strategic partner who had asked for the opportunity of a possible investment with the Company that would maintain our listing on AIM.

The Directors are of the opinion that, aside from the cash flows generated from ongoing operating activities, the Group will need to find other sources of funding to enable the Group to grow the current business. This is most likely to be through cash flows arising on investing or financing activities.

The shipping market is expected to continue to remain weak. Freight rates in many sectors have remained soft reflecting a continued demand/supply imbalance and fuel costs, which have been stable recently, remained high. If freight rates and fuel costs do 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 and decreased employee compensation.

   6.   Dividend 

No dividend has been declared or paid in this interim period.

   7.   Operating segment 

IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The primary format is based upon the Group's management and internal reporting structure which reflects the statutory subsidiaries of the Group. Segment results constitute items directly attributable to the business. Certain centrally funded costs are allocated to the business segments to arrive at operating profits or losses. The Group's reportable segments are as follows:

   1.   Bunker tanker chartering 
   2.   Regional tanker chartering 
   3.   Ship management and other related shipping activities. 

The Group occasionally trades in marine fuel oil. This activity does not have a significant impact on the Company's profitability as the trades are done on cost plus a thin margin to cover administrative costs associated with the trades. The aggregate amount of the marine fuel oil trade is disclosed in the financial statements. The Board does not consider this to be a core business segment activity. It is carried out as an additional service to support selected customers.

The segmented revenue and their corresponding operating profit and loss are presented below.
