Fleet Development
Globus' fleet comprises a total of seven modern dry bulk carriers,
consisting of five Handymaxes and two Panamaxes, with a weighted average
age of approximately 12.1 years as at June 30, 2009 and a total carrying
capacity of 372,369 DWT.
On April 29, 2009 the Company agreed to sell the M/V "Island Globe" to a
third party for a contracted price of US$19.1 million. The Company expects
to deliver the vessel to the buyers during late August 2009.
On June 26, 2009 the Company agreed to sell the M/V "Gulf Globe" to a third
party for a contracted price of US$16.0 million. The Company expects to
deliver the vessel to the buyers during October 2009.
In connection with the two vessel sales mentioned above, the Company
recognized an impairment charge of US$18.8 million as the vessel book
values were written down to their fair values which approximate the sale
proceeds. The movement of the fleet's book value for the six months period
ended June 30, 2009 is outlined in the following table:

Fleet Deployment
During Q2-09 two vessels in Globus' fleet traded under time charters with
reputable charterers, while the remaining five vessels traded on the spot
market. The TCE for all seven vessels during the quarter came to US$22,065
per vessel per day.
Since December 2007 the M/V "Tiara Globe" is employed under a time charter
to Korea Lines Corp at the gross rate of US$66,000 per day for a minimum of
24 months.
Since July 2007 the M/V "Island Globe" is employed under a time charter to
DS Norden at the gross rate of US$30,000 per day for a minimum of 23
months.
On August 14, 2009 the Company chartered the M/V "Sea Globe" to COSCO at
the gross rate of US$14,000 per day which will begin in late August or
early September 2009 for a period between (minimum) nine and (maximum)
thirteen months.
Management Commentary
George Karageorgiou, Chief Executive Officer of Globus Maritime Limited,
said:
"Leaving aside the impact of the non-cash items, we are pleased to report
another quarter of profitable operating results which were achieved in a
challenging and volatile market, with charter rates that were significantly
below those of the same period in 2008.
"In today's market reality, our strategy has been to reinforce our
liquidity and reduce our debt thereby strengthening our balance sheet and
our ability to take advantage at the proper time of the continued weakness
in the dry bulk market. The sale of two vessels built in 1994 and 1995
respectively was conducted in this context.
"We remain vigilant for our future performance as we expect a difficult and
volatile market well into 2010. We are committed to utilizing our strong
liquidity at the proper time to grow our Company adhering to a strict set
of return criteria related to earnings and cash flow accretion, as well as
return on capital. We remain determined to continue delivering this value
to our shareholders."
Elias Deftereos, Chief Financial Officer, added:
"Our results for the first half of 2009 primarily reflect the negative
impact of the non-cash impairment charge. Excluding all non-cash items,
Globus realized a net income of US$ 7.2 million during the period. In
today's uncertain environment Globus is in a strong financial condition. At
June 30, 2009 our restricted and unrestricted cash balance stood at US$54.4
million, while total bank debt outstanding was US$128.7 million, with
another US$20 million available and undrawn under our existing bank
facilities. This translates into a net debt to book capitalization of
39.8%, a modest figure for our industry. Our total debt will be further
reduced by another US$33.7 million down to a total of US$95.0 million
following the delivery of the two vessels we sold, thereby further
strengthening our balance sheet."
Review of Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2009 - unaudited.
Revenue
Net revenues were US$13.8 million during Q2-09 compared to US$27.8 million
during Q2-08 mainly due to a decrease in prevailing time charter rates and
operating days. During Q2-09 seven vessels were in operation earning a TCE
of US$22,065 per vessel per day as opposed to eight vessels operating in
Q2-08 earning a TCE of US$40,088.
Operating expenses
Operating Expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine
stores, lubricating oils, insurance, maintenance, and repairs, came to
US$2.9 million for Q2-09 versus US$3.1 million a year ago, a decrease due
to the smaller fleet. Daily operating expenses were US$4,491 compared to
US$4,260 for the same period in 2008. The increase was in-line with
management's expectations.
Interest expense
Interest expenses amounted to US$0.8 million in Q2-09 versus US$1.6 million
in Q2-08, attributable primarily to the lower level of debt and to the
decrease in interest rates, as compared to the same period in 2008.
Review of Results for Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 - unaudited.
An average of seven vessels were owned and operated in the first six months
of 2009 versus an average of eight vessels in H1-08, resulting in 1,267
ownership days compared to 1,456 ownership days in H1-08.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, as a result of the decrease in
prevailing spot charter rates and the decrease in the number of vessels in
the Company's fleet due to the sale of M/V "Ocean Globe" in November 2008,
net revenues amounted to US$24.5 million compared to US$50.5 million a year
ago. The Company also incurred a non-cash impairment charge of US$18.8
million. The Net Loss for the first six months of 2009 thus came to US$11.6
million compared to Net Income of US$28.6 million for H1-08. Based on this
result the Directors do not recommend an interim dividend for H1-09.
The Globus vessels earned an average TCE of US$19,484 per vessel per day,
while fleet operating expenses were US$4,481 on average per vessel per day
compared to US$35,987 and US$4,391 respectively in H1-08.
On April 21, 2009 the CEO agreed with the Company and released the 171,052
unvested share incentive awards which had been granted to him under the
Globus Maritime LTIP on March 4, 2008. The lapse of this award accelerated
the charge and the Company recognised the amount of US$1.4 million (a
one-off non-cash item) that would have been expensed over the remaining
vesting period to March 5, 2011. General and Administrative expenses during
H1-09 thus came to US$3.0 million in total.
Financing Activities & cash management
In May 2009 the Company paid the regular instalment of US$5.0 million to
Credit Suisse. At June 30, 2009, total debt to this bank was US$70.0
million while another US$20.0 million remains undrawn and available. Total
debt to DSB was US$58.7 million.
Following the delivery of the M/V "Island Globe" to her buyers the Company
will repay US$18.5 million to Credit Suisse. Following the delivery of the
M/V "Gulf Globe" to her buyers the Company will repay US$15.2 million to
DSB. Total debt to the two banks will therefore drop to US$95 million,
while the repayment schedules will be adjusted proportionately.
Capital Expenditures
During the period under review, the Company incurred additional capital
expenditures due to the special survey of the "Gulf Globe" which spent a
total of 11 days in dry-dock during H1-09. The cost of this scheduled
repair was funded with cash from operations.
Two more vessels are scheduled to be dry-docked during the rest of 2009.
The total capital expenditure to be incurred for these two vessels is
estimated to be approximately US$1.0 million. One of the two vessels, the
M/V "Lake Globe", completed its dry-dock in July 2009 within budget.

Time charter equivalent

Notes:
(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted the
Company's fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the
number of days each vessel was a part of the fleet during the period
divided by the number of calendar days in the period.
(2) The average age of the fleet is calculated by aggregating the
individual age of each vessel in the fleet at the period end weighted by
each vessel's deadweight tonnage in proportion to the deadweight tonnage of
the whole fleet at the period end.
(3) Ownership days are the aggregate number of days in a period during
which each vessel in the fleet has been owned by the Company. Ownership
days are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a period and affect
both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that are recorded
during a period.
(4) Available days are the number of ownership days less the aggregate
number of days that vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or
repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and the
aggregate amount of time spent positioning vessels. The shipping industry
uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which
vessels should be capable of generating revenues.
(5) Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the
aggregate number of days that vessels are off-hire due to any reason,
including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating
days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which
vessels actually generate revenues.
(6) Fleet utilisation is measured by dividing the number of operating days
during a period by the number of available days during the same period. The
shipping industry uses fleet utilisation to measure a company's efficiency
in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimising the amount of
days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs
or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel
positioning.
(7) Average daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew wages and
related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and
maintenance, the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and
other miscellaneous expenses, are calculated by dividing vessel operating
expenses by ownership days for the relevant period.
(8) TCE rates are defined as time and voyage charter revenues less voyage
expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the
period, which is consistent with industry standards. Voyage expenses
include port charges, bunker (fuel oil and diesel oil) expenses, canal
charges and commissions. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry
performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by
vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage
charters, because charter hire rates for vessels on voyage charters are
generally not expressed in per day amounts while charter hire rates for
vessels on time charters are generally expressed in such amounts.

exercised, including taking into account expected off-hire days because of
scheduled dry-dockings.
