PROFIT WARNING FOR THE FIRST QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2012

The Board of Directors of Otto Marine Limited (the "Company") wishes to issue a profit warning regarding the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the first quarter ended 31 March
2012.
The Group is expected to report a loss for first quarter ended 31 March 2012, largely due to, amongst others, the following:
i. the volatility in foreign exchange rates of Euro dollar against the US dollar and US dollar against the SGD dollar; and
ii. Reflect Geophysical Pte Ltd going through operational consolidation and re organization and thus resulting in loss mainly attributable to the lower utilization of one of the seismic vessels "Reflect Scorpio" and demobilizing two chartered seismic vessels back to owners thus resulting in one off demobilization cost.
This profit warning is based on a preliminary review of the unaudited financial results of the Group. Further details of the Group's performance will be disclosed when the Company announces its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2012 in due course.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD
