Financial Highlights
From 1 January to 30 September 2012
Key highlights:

• High operational efficiency with 99.5% fleet utilisation in 3Q2012
• Gearing improved to 60% after paying down US$38.3 million in bank loans year-to-date • Distribution of 0.60 US cents per unit in 3Q2012, payable on 29 November 2012

Notes:
1) Total Outstanding Bank Loans above differs slightly from the Total Secured Bank Loans in the Financial Statements (US$583.6 million as at 30 September 2012 and US$621.9 million as at 31 December 2011) due to the accounting treatment for borrowings, which is initially recognised at fair value (net of transaction cost) and subsequently stated at amortised cost
2) Based on total issued units of 423,675,000

Outstanding Bank Loans
As at 30 September 2012
• The Group had obtained a waiver of the loan covenants for all loan facilities for a three year period, expiring on 15 May 2013. If the value-to-loan ratios are not met then, the Group may be required to furnish additional security, prepay part of the value-to-loans, or negotiate a further waiver to avoid a technical breach. We are currently exploring various options to address the expiry of the waiver next year.

• Dry-docking of merchant vessels is a regulatory requirement and is carried out in 5 year
intervals in order to allow maintenance of the vessels’ underwater areas
• By end of 2014, all of Rickmers Maritime’s vessels would have undergone their first
scheduled dry-docking
• After completing their first dry-docking, all of the 16 vessels are participating in an
extended dry-dock trial program in which the next scheduled dry-docking for vessel maintenance is extended from 5 years to 7.5 years

* Clarkson Research Services, September 2012
• Continued supply of new vessel capacity resulted in renewed downward pressure on freight rates during 3Q2012, with high bunker price having a continuing negative effect on the liner operators’ earnings.
• No material increase in time charter rates and vessel values is expected in the short term.
• For 2012, containership capacity growth is estimated at 6.6%* while expected trade growth to reach 4.9%*.
• Trade growth is subject to risks from global economic developments, with downside risks being high oil prices, sovereign credit risk, and continued uncertainty in the global economy.
• Our fleet of modern container vessels, except for one vessel, Kaethe C. Rickmers, is fully employed until early 2014. Kaethe C. Rickmers is fixed to MSC until March 2013, with the charterer having an option to extend for a further 12 months at a fixed net daily charter hire of US$23,750.
• Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we believe these existing long-term leases will continue to generate ongoing cash flow for the Trust.
