Klaveness Ship Holding AS ("KSH") was established 31 May 2005 and is fully owned by Rederiaksjeselskapet Torvald Klaveness. Klaveness Ship Holding AS is located in Oslo, Norway, and is the holding company of the ship owning activities in Torvald Klaveness. The consolidated interim financial statements of KSH as of 30.06.2018 comprises of KSH and its subsidiaries.

HIGHLIGHTS IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2018

Health, safety and environment are priority number one in Klaveness and to the Board's satisfaction there were no major incidents in the first half of 2018.

In April 2018, the existing investors in the single purpose combination carrier companies agreed to consolidate the ownership in a holding company, Klaveness Combination Carriers AS (KCC), which was established as a subsidiary of Klaveness Ship Holding AS (KSH). After the transfer, KCC owns all combination carriers directly or indirectly 100%. The non-controlling interests contributed with USD 12.0 million in capital as cash injection and will during 2018 and first half of 2019 contribute with additional capital. In relation to this transaction, the combination carrier pool company Cabu Chartering AS was purchased from Rederiaksjeselskapet Torvald Klaveness in order to consolidate all combination carrier activities under KCC. KSH owns approx. 77% of KCC. Following the transactions in 2018 and 2019, KSH will own approx. 70% of KCC.

Further two more options for the construction of combination carriers with Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd in China were declared during the first half of 2018. The delivery date is scheduled for 2020.

The markets where Klaveness Ship Holding AS and subsidiaries (the Group) operate have seen a positive development compared to 1H 2017. The earnings from the combination carriers have been stronger than the first half of 2017 due to a larger number of caustic soda cargoes and an improved dry bulk market. The container charter market continues the positive trend with strengthened TC rates due to the stabilisation of supply and higher demand.

The Group achieved an EBITDA of USD 20.0 million in 1H 2018 (1H 2017: USD 7.1 million). The increase from last year is explained by higher earnings from both the combination carrier fleet and container vessels. Gross revenues are positively impacted by the acquisition of Cabu Chartering AS, but the EBITDA is not affected. The Group made a profit before tax (EBT) of USD 6.2 million in 1H 2018 (1H 2017 loss of 8.4 million). Cash flow from operations was USD 21.2 million for the first half of 2018 (1H 2017: USD 9.4 million). The balance sheet remains solid with a book equity including minority interest of USD 220.7 million at 30 June 2018 corresponding to an equity ratio of 54 per cent. High solidity and good liquidity was maintained in first half of 2018.

Available capacity on the revolving credit facility is per 30 June 2018 USD 74.0 million, whereof USD 59.0 million was undrawn. The loan facilities for MV Banasol and MV Banastar were in March 2018 extended by one year.

NET RESULT AND FINANCIAL POSITION AT 30 JUNE 2018 2

The Group reported net operating revenue from operations of USD 40.2 million in the first half of 2018, compared to USD 28.0 million in 1H 2017. Earnings from the combination carriers strengthened, mainly due to a stronger dry bulk market and increased number of transported caustic cargoes. Earnings from the container segment increased mainly due to higher TC rates. Operating costs for the first half of 2018 amounted to USD 18.4 million, down from USD 19.5 million in first half of 2017.

EBITDA from continuing operations was USD 20.0 million in 1H 2018 (1H 2017: USD 7.1 million). Net result from financial items is in total negative by USD 3.2 million in 1H 2018, compared to negative USD 4.8 million in 1H 2017 positively impacted by mark-to-market effects from financial instruments in the first half of 2018.

Net profit after tax including discontinued operations was positive by USD 6.2 million in 1H 2018 (1H 2017: negative USD 8.4 million), whereof positive USD 1.0 million (1H 2017: negative 1.6 million) were attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Total assets increased by USD 4.6 million in the first half of 2018 from USD 401.7 million to USD 406.3 million. At 30 June 2018, the consolidated equity including minority interests was USD 220.7 million (31 December 2017: USD 213.2 million), corresponding to a book equity ratio of 54 per cent. Book equity excluding minority interests was USD 189.6 million. Interest-bearing debt has been reduced from USD 165.6 million at year end 2017 to USD 160.5 million at 30 June 2018.

Cash and bank deposits were USD 47.0 million at 30 June 2018. During first half of 2018, the Group had a positive cash flow from operating activities of USD 21.2 million (1H 2017: USD 9.4 million). Net cash flow from investments amounts to negative USD 19.8 million (1H 2017: negative USD 26.8 million), consisting of USD 15.8 million in payments for vessels under construction and USD 3.4 million in dry dock payments. Net cash flow from financing activities of negative USD 9.3 million (1H 2017: negative USD 18.4 million) is mainly group contribution paid (USD 10.2 million), offset by capital increase from non-controlling interests (USD 12.0 million), financing costs (USD 4.9 million and repayment of mortgage debt of USD 5.8 million.

The accounts are reported under the assumption of a going concern. The Board considers the financial position of the Group at 30 June 2018 to be solid and the liquidity to be good. Bank financing is secured for three out of five vessels under construction. The two latter vessels are scheduled to be delivered in 2020. The Group's current cash flow and liquidity position is considered sufficient to cover the equity portion of all approved investments.

There have been no major transactions or events subsequent to the closing date that would have a material impact on the evaluation of the financial position of Klaveness Ship Holding AS.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Combination carriers: The CABU vessels are combination carriers transporting both dry cargo and caustic soda in the Far East, the Middle East, Australia, Brazil and North America. At the end of June 30, 2018 the CABU fleet consisted of nine CABU vessels.

The Group has five combination carrier newbuildings (CLEANBUs) on order at Jiangsu New Yangzi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd in China with delivery scheduled in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The CLEANBU vessels can transport both dry bulk products, caustic soda and clean petroleum products.

The dry bulk market has in 2018 been volatile. Panamax rates (P4TC) ended in June at USD 10,738/d down from USD 11,182/d at year end 2017. During the first half of 2018, the Atlantic index increased, while the Pacific index increased which benefitted the Cabu earnings positively with most open dry capacity in the Pacific. The tanker market has been flat with MR rates at USD 9,365/d per end of June 2018. The transported caustic soda volumes increased in first half of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 resulting in higher rates for the CABU vessels.

One of the main contracts for shipment of caustic soda in the Pacific is up for renewal by the end of 2018. A new contract is under negotiation.

² Unless otherwise stated, this section describes continuing operations

The construction of the CLEANBU vessels are progressing in line with schedule. The first vessel is scheduled for delivery in November/December 2018 and will in a phase-in period trade dry bulk–caustic soda combination and pure tanker trades before starting to trade CPP–dry bulk in combination. Several potential customers have accepted the vessel concept and commercial discussions are on-going. A Group company has in addition to the five vessels under construction additional options for construction of CLEANBU vessels at the same yard, and is considering alternative funding sources related to the options program.

Container: The Group owns and operates a fleet of eight geared container vessels in the feeder segment (1,700 TEU - 3,100 TEU). All vessels are chartered out to liner operators on shorter time charter contracts of up to two years. The container vessels have experienced few idle days and continues to achieve rates above the general market due to the vessels' fuel efficiency. 85 per cent of the capacity for second half of 2018 has been fixed. Three vessels have dry docked in first half of 2018.

MAIN RISKS

The company's business is exposed to risks in many areas. The Board pays high attention to risk analysis and mitigating actions.

Market risks in the shipping markets relate primarily to changes in the freight rates, fuel prices, vessel values and counterparty credit risk. These risks are monitored and managed.

The Group is exposed to commercial risks, particularly related to phase-in of the five CLEANBU vessels on order. Klaveness work closely with customers to document that the new vessel concepts meet all their requirements both technically and commercially. There is risk associated with increased competition and dependency on key customers, which is mitigated with strong operational performance and service development.

Changes in the political, legislative, fiscal and/or regulatory framework governing the activities of the company could have material impact on the business. Procedures to comply with all applicable environmental regulation, sanctions legislation and due diligence checks of counterparties are carried out to lower this exposure.

Operational risks are mainly related to the operation of vessels. The Group's vessels are on technical management to Klaveness Ship Management AS (affiliated company) which ensures compliance with IMO, flag and port state regulations. Quality and safety audits are performed regularly and the crew and officers onboard are trained to ensure that regulatory requirements are met. The vessels sail in waters exposed to piracy. All vessels sailing through exposed areas take precautionary steps to mitigate the threat of such attacks. Operational risks are also covered by insurance where relevant to cover loss of assets, revenues and contract commitments. The vessels are insured for loss of hire, protection and indemnity (P&I) and total loss (hull and machinery). The latter is aligned with vessel values and loan agreement covenants. The financial impact of a total loss of a vessel will not be material for the Group.

At the end of June 30, 2018, the company had five newbuildings on order. Klaveness has dedicated on-site personnel who supervise the building processes. There is performance risk associated with the newbuildings. Tier one Chinese banks provide refund guarantees.

The Group's revenue and costs are denominated primarily in US Dollar (USD) which is the functional currency of most entities in the Group. No direct currency hedge has been made towards the small portion of costs incurred in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in USD against NOK may affect the company's tax payable, which will be calculated and paid in NOK. This effect is considered to be limited. To reduce currency and interest rate risk, the company has entered into interest rate swaps converting floating interest payments to fixed rate and the bonds issued in NOK are partly secured with cross currency interest rate swaps.

There were no major unforeseen events of a financial nature during first half of 2018. The liquidity risk of the company is considered to be acceptable. Financing is in place for three of the five newbuildings. Current cash, and projected operating cash flow are considered sufficient to cover the Group's commitments.

Hedging reserve

The reserve contains total net changes in the fair value of financial instruments recognized to fair value with changes through OCI.

Klaveness Combination Carriers AS was established March 23, 2018 as a 100 % subsidiary of Klaveness Ship Holding AS. The establishment was carried out by contribution in kind of the shares in T Klaveness Shipping AS and Klaveness Bulk AS. At the same date of the establishment, Cabu Chartering AS was sold from Rederiaksjeselskapet Torvald Klaveness to Klaveness Combination Carriers AS to fair value. Refer note 2.

On April 25, 2018 the subsidiary T Klaveness Shipping AS bought 50 shares in Cabu V from Babar Shipping I and II AS, resulting in 100 % ownership of Cabu V Investment, Inc. On April 30, 2018 the subsidiary T Klaveness Shipping AS bought the remaining shares in Baffin Shipping AS, Ballard Shipping AS, Cabu VI Investment, Inc, Banasol Inc and Banastar Inc from Hundred Roses Company (HRC) and EGD Ship Holding AS (EGD),resulting in 100 % ownership in the said companies. The shares were bought by a promissory note (debt to the external partners). The promissory note was used as an injection of capital from HRC and EGD in Klaveness Combination Carriers AS, in addition to cash injection of USD 12 million. Following these transactions, HRC and EGD combined hold 22.5 % of the shares in Klaveness Combination Carriers AS. This is recorded as non-controlling interests.

*The capital increase was based on fair value, which resulted in a reallocation from non-controlling interests to majority, according to IFRS 10.B96.

Note 1 - Accounting Policies

Corporate Information

Klaveness Ship Holding AS ("parent company") is a private limited company domiciled and incorporated in Norway. The parent company has headquarter and is registered in Drammensveien 260, 0212 Oslo. Klaveness Ship Holding's consolidated interim financial statements for the first half of 2018 include the parent company and its subsidiaries (referred to collectively as the Group).

Accounting policies

The interim condensed financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as endorsed by the Europen Union and are based on IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim condensed financial statements of the Group should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union.

The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the interim condendsed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of Klaveness Ship Holding's annual consolidated financial statements of the year ended 31 December 2017 except for the adoption of new accounting standards described below. .

New acconting standards

The following describes the significant changes for the Group resulting from the first-time adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers in the financial year 2018. The standard was implemented using the modified retrospective method.

The adoption of IFRS 15 has resulted in a change of method in recognising revenue from voyage charters, whereby the method of determining the proportional performance has changed from discharge-todischarge to load-to-discharge in Cabu Chartering AS (subsidiary). The Group has concluded that the performance obligation under a voyage charter is satisfied over time, and begins from the point at which cargo is loaded until the point at which a cargo is discharged at the destination port. While this represents a change in the period over which revenue is recognised, the total voyage result recognised over all periods would not change.

As Cabu Chartering AS was purchased as a subsidiary during 1H 2018 (and no other revenue has been impacted by the standard), the cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings is zero. The change in revenue recognition further resulted in USD 0.6million less in revenue recognised in the period compared to what would have been recognized for the period if the old recognition principle had been applied.

IFRS 15 also requires the Group for each contract with a customer, to identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to performance obligations to the extent that the contract covers more than one performance obligation, determine whether revenue should be recognised over time or at a point in time and recognise revenue when or as performance obligations are recognised. The Groups' voyage charters and TC contracts qualify for recognition over time. The nature of the Group's revenues from TC contracts with its customers is categorised in two groups, the leasing element of the vessel and the service element related to the leased vessel. See Note 2 for further information and also annual financial statement 2017.

There was no material impact on other new accounting standards adopted by the period, and further reference is given to the annual report for 2017.

Note 2 - Business combinations

Acquisition of Cabu Chartering AS

Cabu Chartering AS was purchased from Rederiaskjeselskapet Torvald Klaveness by Klaveness Combination Carriers on March 23, 2018. The purchase price was USD 30 543, which is equal to book equity at the time of transaction. Cabu Chartering AS is a pool company with the cabu vessels owned by the Group as the only pool participants. All results in the pool is distributed to the vessel owners as pool hire, and the company's balance sheet are mainly working capital. The acquisition has been accounted for using the aquisition method. In the acquisition evaluation, there was not identified any material difference between fair value and book value, and thus allocated value is equal to book value. Refer table below.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Klaveness Ship Holding AS include the results of Cabu Chartering AS from March 23, 2018. This represent a material change in the operating revenues, voyage expenses, inventories, trade receivables and trade payables, although with limited impact on net result.

Note 3 - Segment reporting

The operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial reporting provided to the executive management (chief operating decision-maker).

The financial reporting is divided into the following operating segments:

• Combination carriers
• Container vessels
• Other/administration

All segments have worldwide activities. The Group operates in an open international market where the various geographical areas are connected. The fleet has the flexibility to operate in all markets and are employed in a comprehensive pattern inside and between the regions in order to optimize income. Consequently, the Group's operating shipping activities are not attributed to specific geographical markets.

Eliminations and intra group transactions are shown in the "other/administration" column. The Group's administration costs and other shared costs have been allocated to segments. Transfer prices between operating segments are on arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Information regarding the Group's reportable segments is presented below. Interest income and interest expense have not been allocated to segments, as the financing is managed on a group basis.

The following tables present revenue and profit information for the Group's operating segments for the six months ended 30 June 2018 and 2017, respectively:

The ultimate owner of the Group is Rederiaksjeselskapet Torvald Klaveness (RASTK), which owns 100 % of the shares in Klaveness Ship Holding AS.

The Group has undertaken several agreements and transactions with related parties in the RASTK Group. The level of fees are based on market terms and are in accordance with the arm's length principle.

Refer Statement of Changes in Equity and Note 3 for further information regarding the restructuring and purchase of Cabu Chartering AS in the first half of 2018.

Note 9 - Taxes

The Group mainly operates in the Norwegian tonnage tax regime which exempts ordinary tax on shipping income, instead a tonnage tax fee is payable based on the size of the vessel. The fee is recognized as an operating expense. Financial income is taxable according to the Norwegian tonnage tax regime based on the company tax rate in Norway of 23 %.

Tax expense for H1-2018 is estimated based on 23% of taxable/deductible items in the parent company (ordinary taxation) and currency adjustment of the deferred tax asset per 30 June 2018. If tax payable will occur in the parent company, this will be offset by group contribution. No tax payable or changes in tax positions are expected in the companies under tonnage taxation.

As of 30 June 2018, estimated net tax income amounts to zero. The increase of deferred tax assets per 30.06 due to estimated tax income in the period is written down as future utilization within the KSH Group has not been justified.

At 30 June 2018 the Group has recorded a deferred tax asset of USD 3.2 million (2017: USD 3.2 million). Deferred tax assets are only recognized if it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized. If the Group has loss carried forward in any subsidiaries, these deferred tax assets are not recognized if it is not possible to predict with reasonable certainty whether adequate taxable profit will be available in the future against which losses can be utilized.

Note 10 - Events after the balance sheet date

There are no events after the balance sheet date that have material effect on the financial statement as of 30 June 2018.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
