2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited, its wholly owned subsidiaries and Baltic Trading, a subsidiary in which the Company owns a majority of the voting interests and exercises control. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 10-K”). The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Vessels, net

Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life

or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight tons (lwt). Effective January 1, 2011, the Company increased the estimated scrap value of the vessels from $175/lwt to $245/lwt prospectively based on the 15-year average scrap value of steel. The change in the estimated scrap value will result in a decrease in depreciation expense over the remaining life of the vessel assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $618 and $1,229, respectively.

Noncontrolling interest

Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 reflects the noncontrolling interest’s share of the net loss of Baltic Trading, a subsidiary of the Company, which owns and employs drybulk vessels in the spot market or on spot market-related time charters. The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages. At June 30, 2011, the noncontrolling interest held a 74.78% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 16.50% of voting power.

Income taxes

Pursuant to certain agreements, GS&T technically and commercially manages vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provides technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are performed by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Genco (USA) has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the Company and Genco Ship Management LLC, collectively Manco, pursuant to which Genco (USA) agrees to reimburse Manco for the costs incurred by Genco (USA) for the use of Manco’s personnel and services in connection with the provision of the services for both Baltic Trading and MEP’s vessels.

Total revenue earned for these services during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1,562 and $2,429, respectively, of which $743 and $2,429, respectively, eliminated upon consolidation. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $749 associated with these activities for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This resulted in estimated tax expense of $327 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,598 associated with these activities for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This resulted in income tax expense of $719 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Total revenue earned for these services during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $3,101 and $2,429, respectively, of which $1,472 and $2,429, respectively, eliminated upon consolidation. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,446 associated with these activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This resulted in estimated tax expense of $691 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,598 associated with these activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This resulted in income tax expense of $719 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Baltic Trading is subject to income tax on its United States source income. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Baltic Trading had United States operations which resulted in United States source income of $1,394 and $0, respectively. Baltic Trading’s United States income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $28 and $0, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Baltic Trading had United States operations which resulted in United States source income of $2,457 and $0, respectively. Baltic Trading’s United States income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $23 and $0, respectively.

Voyage expense recognition

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses such as commissions which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. These differences in bunkers resulted in net gains of $1,294 and $459 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1,653 and $1,016 during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

7 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards (refer to Note 17 — Nonvested Stock Awards), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. Of the 807,987 nonvested shares outstanding at June 30, 2011 (refer to Note 17 — Nonvested Stock Awards), 664,738 shares are anti-dilutive. The Company’s diluted earnings per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Company’s convertible debt if the impact is dilutive under the “if converted” method. The impact of the shares convertible under the Company’s convertible notes is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

Table of Contents

The components of the denominator for the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

13 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are noted below. All carrying values approximate the instrument’s fair values with the exception of the 2010 Notes.

	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Cash and cash equivalents	$	286,230	$	270,877
Restricted cash	9,750		9,000
Investments	42,450		54,714
Floating rate debt	1,648,910		1,643,939
2010 Notes	106,789		129,531
Derivative instruments — liability position	35,362		43,297

The fair value of the investments is based on quoted market rates. The fair value of the floating rate debt under the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility are estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt of the same remaining maturities. Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of floating rate debt under the credit facilities. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for these floating rate loans. The fair value of the convertible senior notes payable represents the market value of the 2010 Notes at June 30, 2011 without bifurcating the value of the conversion option. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount the Company would receive to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of both the swap counterparty and the Company.

The Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The guidance requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investments and financial instruments by the above pricing levels as of the valuation dates listed:

	June 30, 2011
	Total		Quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Investments	$	42,450	$	42,450	$	—
Derivative instruments — liability position	35,362		—		35,362

	December 31, 2010
	Total		Quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Investments	$	54,714	$	54,714	$	—
Derivative instruments — liability position	43,297		—		43,297

The Company holds an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui, which is classified as a long-term investment. The stock of Jinhui is publicly traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange and is considered a Level 1 item.

Table of Contents

The Company’s interest rate derivative instruments are pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps based on LIBOR. The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives, using observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts on LIBOR for the first two years) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR cash and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. Refer to Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements for further information regarding the Company’s interest rate swap agreements. ASC 820-10 states that the fair value measurement of an asset or liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the impact of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position has also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments in an asset or liability position and did not have a material impact on the fair value of these derivative instruments. As of June 30, 2011, both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual terms of the instruments.

14 - OTHER ASSETS, NET

Other assets consist of deferred financing costs, which include fees, commissions and legal expenses associated with securing loan facilities and other debt offerings. Total net deferred financing costs consist of the following as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

$100 Million Term Loan Facility	1,318		1,318
$253 Million Term Loan Facility	3,567		3,529
2010 Notes	3,637		3,637
2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility	3,027		2,940
Total deferred financing costs	21,623		21,498
Less: accumulated amortization	6,133		4,561

General

We are a Marshall Islands company that transports iron ore, coal, grain, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. Excluding vessels of Baltic Trading Limited (“Baltic Trading”), as of July 26, 2011, our fleet consisted of nine Capesize, eight Panamax, 17 Supramax, six Handymax and 12 Handysize drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 3,776,000 dwt, and the average age of our fleet was approximately 6.4 years, as compared to the average age for the world fleet of approximately 13 years for the drybulk shipping segments in which we compete. After the expected delivery of one Handysize vessels that we have agreed to acquire and retain, we will own a fleet of 53 drybulk vessels, consisting of nine Capesize, eight Panamax, 17 Supramax, six Handymax and 13 Handysize vessels, excluding the vessels of Baltic Trading. We seek to deploy our vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market, to reputable charterers, including Lauritzen Bulkers A/S or LB/IVS Pool, in which Lauritzen Bulkers A/S acts as the pool manager (collectively, “Lauritzen Bulkers”), Cargill International S.A., Pacific Basin Chartering Ltd., COSCO Bulk Carriers Co., Ltd., and Oldendorff GMBH and Co. KG. Lubeck. The majority of the vessels in our current fleet are presently engaged under time charter contracts that expire (assuming the option periods in the time charters are not exercised) between August 2011 and June 2013.

In addition, as of July 26, 2011, Baltic Trading’s fleet consisted of two Capesize, four Supramax and three Handysize drybulk carriers with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 672,000 dwt.

See pages 31 - 35 for a table of all vessels that have been delivered or are expected to be delivered to us, including Baltic Trading’s vessels.

We intend to acquire additional modern, high-quality drybulk carriers through timely and selective acquisitions of vessels in a manner that is accretive to our cash flow. We expect to fund acquisitions of additional vessels using cash reserves set aside for this purpose, additional borrowings and may consider additional debt and equity financing alternatives from time to time.

On June 3, 2010, we entered into an agreement to purchase a total of eight Handysize drybulk vessels, including five newbuildings, from companies within the Metrostar group of companies for an aggregate purchase price of $266.0 million. Five of these vessels will be owned by us and three are owned by Baltic Trading. Additionally, on June 24, 2010, we entered into a Master Agreement with Bourbon SA (“Bourbon”) to purchase 16 drybulk vessels, including two newbuildings, for an aggregate purchase price of $545.0 million. We have retained 13 of the 16 vessels, including one newbuilding, and the remaining three vessels were immediately resold to Maritime Equity Partners LLC (“MEP”), a company managed by a company owned by our Chairman, Peter C.

Georgiopoulos. A total of seven vessels have been delivered from companies within the Metrostar group of companies and all 16 vessels have been delivered from Bourbon, three of which were sold to MEP. The remaining Metrostar vessel is planned to be delivered during November 2011.

In order to fund the acquisition of these vessels, we entered into two senior secured term loan facilities. On August 20, 2010, we entered into a $253 million senior secured term loan facility to be utilized to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of 13 vessels from affiliate of Bourbon SA. On August 12, 2010, we entered into a $100 million senior secured term loan facility to be utilized to fund or refund to us a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of five vessels from companies within the Metrostar group of companies. The Baltic Trading vessels have been funded utilizing its $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility for bridge financing.

Our management team and our other employees are responsible for the commercial and strategic management of our fleet. Commercial management includes the negotiation of charters for vessels, managing the mix of various types of charters, such as time charters and voyage charters, and monitoring the performance of our vessels under their charters. Strategic management includes locating, purchasing, financing and selling vessels. We currently contract with three independent technical managers to provide technical management of our fleet at a lower cost than we believe would be possible in-house. Technical management involves the day-to-day management of vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. Members of our New York City-based management team oversee the activities of our independent technical managers.

From time to time in the current global economic environment, our charterers with long-term time charters may request to renegotiate the terms of our charters with them. As a general matter, we do not agree to make changes to the terms of our charters in response to such requests. The failure of any charterer to meet its obligations under our long-term time charters could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Baltic Trading, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its IPO on March 15, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Genco Investments LLC owned 5,699,088 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock, which represents a 25.22% ownership interest in Baltic Trading at June 30, 2011 and 83.50% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Trading’s outstanding shares of voting stock. Baltic Trading is consolidated with the Company, as we control a majority of the voting interest in Baltic Trading. Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition in this section includes the results of Baltic Trading.

We entered into a long-term management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Baltic Trading pursuant to which we apply our expertise and experience in the drybulk industry to provide Baltic Trading with commercial, technical, administrative and strategic services. The Management Agreement is for an initial term of approximately fifteen years and will automatically renew for additional five-year periods unless terminated in accordance with its terms. Baltic Trading will pay us for the services we provide it as well as reimburse us for our costs and expenses incurred in providing certain of these services. Management fee income we earn from the Management Agreement net of any allocated shared expenses, such as salary, office expenses and other general and administrative fees, will be taxable to us. Upon consolidation with Baltic Trading, any management fee income earned will be eliminated for financial reporting purposes.

We provide technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by MEP under an agency agreement between us and MEP. These services include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services will be provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs and will be provided for an initial term of one year. MEP will have the right to cancel provision of services on 60 days notice with payment of a one-year termination fee or without fee upon a Company change of control. The Company may terminate provision of the services at any time on 60 days notice. Mr. Georgiopoulos is a minority investor, and affiliates of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., of which Stephen A. Kaplan is a principal, are majority investors in MEP. This arrangement was approved by an independent committee of our Board of Directors.

During January 2011, the Genco Success, a 1997-built Handymax vessel, was on charter to Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”) when KLC filed for a rehabilitation application. We estimate that we have a claim of approximately $1.1 million against KLC related primarily to unpaid revenue earned prior to re-delivery of the vessel. If a rehabilitation plan is approved by the South Korean courts and it is determined that we will receive a cash settlement for our outstanding claim, any amounts due from KLC will be recorded once the collectibility of the receivable has been assessed and the amount has been deemed collectible.

Definitions

In order to understand our discussion of our results of operations, it is important to understand the meaning of the following terms used in our analysis and the factors that influence our results of operations.

(1) Ownership days. We define ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during a period.

(2) Available days. We define available days as the number of our ownership days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and the aggregate amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels. Companies in the shipping industry generally use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

(3) Operating days. We define operating days as the number of our available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

(4) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the number 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.

(5) TCE rates. We define TCE rates as net voyage revenue (voyage revenues less voyage expenses) divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. TCE rate is a common 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 charterhire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charterhire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts.

Total TCE rate	$	18,299		$	30,405	$	18,720	$	30,326

(6) Daily vessel operating expenses. We define daily vessel operating expenses as vessel operating expenses divided by ownership days for the period. Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance (excluding drydocking), the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses.

(1) EBITDA represents net income attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited plus net interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as a common performance measure to compare results across peers. Our management uses EBITDA as a performance measure in our consolidated internal financial statements, and it is presented for review at our board meetings. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors as the shipping industry is capital intensive which often results in significant depreciation and cost of financing. EBITDA presents investors with a measure in addition to net income to evaluate our performance prior to these costs. EBITDA is not an item recognized by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator of a company’s operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or cash flows as shown in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies. The foregoing definition of EBITDA differs from the definition of Consolidated EBITDA used in the financial covenants of our 2007 Credit Facility, our $253 Million Term Loan Credit Facility, and our $100 Million Term Loan Credit Facility. Specifically, Consolidated EBITDA substitutes gross interest expense (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs) for net interest expense used in our definition of EBITDA, includes adjustments for restricted stock amortization and non-

cash charges for deferred financing costs related to the refinancing of other credit facilities or any non-cash losses from our investment in Jinhui, and excludes extraordinary gains or losses and gains or losses from derivative instruments used for hedging purposes or sales of assets other than inventory sold in the ordinary course of business.

(1) The charter expiration dates presented represent the earliest dates that our charters may be terminated in the ordinary course. Except for the Genco Titus, Genco Constantine, and Genco Hadrian under the terms of each contract, the charterer is entitled to extend the time charters from two to four months in order to complete the vessel’s final voyage plus any time the vessel has been off-hire. The charterer of the Genco Titus and Genco Hadrian has the option to extend the charter for a period of one year. The Genco Constantine has the option to extend the charter for a period of eight months.

(2) Time charter rates presented are the gross daily charterhire rates before third-party commissions generally ranging from 1.25% to 6.25%. In a time charter, the charterer is responsible for voyage expenses such as bunkers, port expenses, agents’ fees and canal dues.

(3) For the vessels acquired with a below-market time charter rate, the approximate amount of revenue on a daily basis to be recognized as revenues is displayed in the column named ‘‘Net Revenue Daily Rate’’ and is net of any third-party commissions. Since these vessels were acquired with existing time charters with below-market rates, we allocated the purchase price between the respective vessels and an intangible liability for the value assigned to the below-market charterhire. This intangible liability is amortized as an increase to voyage revenues over the minimum remaining terms of the applicable charters. The minimum remaining term for the Genco Titus is on September 16, 2011, at which point the respective liabilities were or will be amortized to zero and the vessels began or will begin earning the ‘‘Cash Daily Rate.’’ For cash flow purposes, we will continue to receive the rate presented in the ‘‘Cash Daily Rate’’ column until the charter expires.

(4) These charters include a 50% index-based profit sharing component above the respective base rates listed in the table. The profit sharing between the charterer and us for each 15-day period is calculated by taking the average over that period of the published Baltic Cape Index of the four time charter routes, as reflected in daily reports. If such average is more than the base rate payable under the charter, the excess amount is allocable 50% to each of the charterer and us. A third-party brokerage commission of 3.75% based on the profit sharing amount due to us is payable out of our share.

(5) We have reached an agreement with Swissmarine Services S.A. on a spot market-related time charter for 10.5 to 13.5 months based on 99% of the average of the daily rates of the Baltic Capesize Index, or BCI, as reflected in daily reports. Hire is paid every 15 days in arrears net of a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. We maintain the option to convert to a fixed rate based on Capesize FFA values at 99%. The vessel delivered to its new charterer on June 28, 2011.

(6) We have reached an agreement with U-Sea Bulk A/S, Copenhagen on a spot market-related time charter for the Genco Beauty based on 100% of the Baltic Panamax Index, or BPI, as reflected in daily reports, except for the initial 30 days after delivery in which hire is based on 100% of the Baltic Panamax P3A. The charter commenced on April 24, 2011. For the Genco Knight, we have reached an agreement with Swissmarine Services S.A. for 10.5 to 13.5 months that commenced on March 23, 2011 at a rate based on 100% of the BPI as reflected in daily reports. For both vessels, hire is paid every 15 days in arrears net of a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. We maintain the option to convert to a fixed rate based on Panamax FFA values at 100%.

(7) We have reached an agreement with Cargill International S.A. on a time charter for 65 to 75 days at a rate of $24,000 per day less a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. Hire payment is made every 15 days in advance. The vessel delivered to charterers on July 18, 2011.

(8) We have reached an agreement with Pacific Basin Chartering Ltd. on two spot market-related time charters for 11 to 13.5 months with rates based on 103% and 106% of the average of the Baltic Supramax Index, or BSI, as reflected in daily reports for the Genco Predator and Genco Hunter, respectively. Hire is paid every 15 days in arrears net of a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. Genco maintains the option to convert the balance of any period to a fixed rate based on Supramax FFA values at 103% for the Genco Predator and after the initial 45 days at 106% for the Genco Hunter. The Genco Predator began on its new rate on June 16, 2011 while the Genco Hunter began on its new rate on July 5, 2011.

(9) We have reached an agreement with Klaveness Chartering on a spot market-related time charter based on 102% of the BSI, as reflected in daily reports. Hire is paid every 15 days in arrears less a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. We maintain the option to convert the balance of any period to a fixed rate based on Supramax FFA values at 102%. The duration of the charter is 11 to 13.5 months commencing on April 26, 2011.

(10) We have reached an agreement with Louis Dreyfus Commodities Suisse S.A. on a time charter at a rate of $12,000 per day less a 5.00% third party brokerage commission for 3 to 5.5 months. Hire payment is made every 15 days in advance. The vessel will deliver to its new charterer on or about July 31, 2011.

(11) We have reached an agreement with Setaf-Saget SAS on a time charter for 6 to 8.5 months at a rate of $15,250 per day. Hire is paid every 15 days in advance less a 3.75% third party brokerage commission. The vessel was delivered in direct continuation from its previous time charter with Setaf-Saget SAS, which ended on June 10, 2011.

(12) We have reached an agreement with ED & F MAN Shipping Ltd. and Pacific Basin Chartering Ltd. on spot market-related time charters for the Genco Marine and Prosperity, respectively for 11 to 13.5 months at a rate based on 92% of the average of the daily rates of the BSI, as reflected in daily reports. Hire payment is made every 15 days in arrears less a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. We maintain the option to convert the balance period to a fixed rate based on Supramax FFA values at 92%, however, for the Genco Prosperity cannot do so until 45 days after delivery. The Genco Marine went into drydock for scheduled repairs on May 19, 2011 and came out of the yard on June 5, 2011 then delivered to its new charterer. The Genco Prosperity began on its new rate on June 9, 2011.

(13) We have reached an agreement with Trafigura Beheer B.V. on a spot market-related time charter based on 95% of the average of the daily rates of the BSI, as reflected in daily reports. The duration of the charter is 11 to 14.5 months with payment being made every 15 days in arrears less a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. We maintain the option to convert to a fixed rate based on Supramax FFA values at 95%. The charter began on May 23, 2011. The vessel went into drydock for scheduled repairs on April 17, 2011 and came out of the yard on April 28, 2011.

(14) We have reached an agreement to enter these vessels into the LB/IVS Pool whereby Lauritzen Bulkers A/S acts as the pool manager. We can withdraw up to two vessels with three months’ notice and the remaining three vessels with 12 months’ notice.

(15) We have reached an agreement with Pacific Basin Chartering Ltd. on a spot market-related time charter based on 100% of the average of the daily rates of the Baltic Handysize Index, or BHSI, as reflected in daily reports. The duration of the charter is 11 to 13.5 months with hire paid every 15 days in arrears net of a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. We maintain the option to convert the balance of any period to a fixed rate based on Handysize FFA values at 100%. The vessel began its new rate on April 21, 2011.

(16) The rate for the spot market-related time charter will be linked with a floor of $8,500 and a ceiling of $13,500 daily with a 50% profit sharing arrangement to apply to any amount above the ceiling. The rate will be based on 115% of the average of the daily rates of the BHSI, as reflected in daily reports. Hire will be paid every 15 days in advance net of a 5.00% third party brokerage commission.

(17) These vessels were acquired with existing time charters with below-market rates. As described in footnote 20, intangible liabilities will be amortized as an increase to voyage revenues over the minimum remaining terms of the applicable charters. Specifically, for the Genco Avra,

Table of Contents

Genco Ocean and Genco Bay, the daily amount of amortization associated with them will be approximately $350, $700 and $750 per day over the actual cash rate earned, respectively.

(18) Built & delivery date for vessel being delivered in the future is an estimate based on guidance received from the sellers and shipyard.

(19) The rate for the spot market-related time charter will be based on 115% of the average of the daily rates of the BHSI, as reflected in daily reports. Hire will be paid every 15 days in advance net of a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. The time charter commenced on July 21, 2011 following delivery of the vessel to us.

(20) This vessel was acquired with an existing time charter with a below-market rate. For the time charters that are below-market, Genco allocates the purchase price between the respective vessels and an intangible liability for the value assigned to the below-market charter-hire. This intangible liability will be amortized as an increase to voyage revenues over the minimum remaining terms of the applicable charters, at which point the respective liabilities will be amortized to zero and the vessels will begin earning the ‘‘Cash Daily Rate.’’ For cash flow purposes, we will continue to receive the rate presented in the ‘‘Cash Daily Rate’’ column until the charter expires.

Three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, voyage revenues decreased 6.5% to $98.5 million versus $105.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Revenues decreased by approximately $6.8 million primarily as a result of lower charter rates achieved by some of our vessels partially offset by the increase in the size of our fleet and an increase in revenues earned by Baltic Trading’s vessels of $2.9 million.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet decreased 39.8% to $18,299 a day for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $30,405 a day for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in TCE rates resulted from lower charter rates achieved in the second quarter of 2011 versus the same period last year for the majority of the vessels in our fleet. Reduced cargo availability in April and May due to weather related events that occurred in the first quarter of 2011, coupled with continued deliveries of newbuilding vessels were the main contributors of reduced rates which affected the earnings of our vessels trading on spot market-related charters. These effects were slightly offset by increased scrapping of older tonnage and the return of iron ore and coal cargoes in June of this year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we had 5,418.6 and 3,459.8 ownership days, respectively. The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of 14 vessels during the third quarter of 2010 and two vessels during the first and second quarter of 2011, as well as a full quarter of ownership for Baltic Trading’s fleet of nine vessels, which were acquired after March 31, 2010. Fleet utilization was stable at 99.4% during both periods.

During 2010, the Baltic Dry Index (a drybulk index) went from a high on May 26, 2010 of 4,209 and fell to a low of 1,700 on July 15, 2010. At December 31, 2010, the index was 1,773. The index subsequently decreased to a low of 1,043 on February 4, 2011 and as of July 21, 2011 was at 1,325. The lower index was mainly driven by a deteriorating freight rate environment in the Capesize sector. Supramax and Panamax vessels experienced less volatility through the cycle as a result of the broader cargo versatility of the vessels and demand strength of minor bulks. Reduced cargo availability in April and May due to weather related events that occurred in the first quarter of 2011, coupled with continued deliveries of newbuilding vessels were the main contributors of reduced rates, which affected the earnings of our vessels trading on spot market-related charters. The effect of these contributors was slightly offset by increased scrapping of older tonnage and the return of iron ore and coal cargoes in June of this year.

SERVICE REVENUES-

Service revenues consist of revenues earned from providing technical services to MEP pursuant to the agency agreement between us and MEP. These services include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services are provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, total service revenue was $0.8 million and $0, respectively.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not incur significant port and canal charges or any significant expenses related to the consumption of bunkers (fuel) as part of our vessels’ overall expenses because all of our vessels were employed under time charters, spot market-related time charters, or in pools that require the charterer or pool to bear all of those expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, voyage expenses were ($0.1) million and $1.0 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of brokerage commissions paid to third parties. Additionally, we recognized net gains relative to bunker fuel for vessels coming off time charters amounting to $1,294 and $459 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Table of Contents

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses increased by $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily a result of the operation of a larger fleet. Additionally, the increase was due to a full quarter of operation of nine Baltic Trading vessels which were delivered during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2010, which accounted for $2.5 million of additional vessel operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2011 over the comparative prior year period. The increase was also related to higher crew expenses, partially offset by lower insurance and lube expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Daily vessel operating expenses increased to $4,700 per vessel per day for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $4,671 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in daily vessel operating expenses was due to higher crew costs on certain of our vessels. We believe daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year of operation. For the first half of 2011, we budgeted daily vessel operating expenses at a weighted average rate of $5,200 per vessel per day. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $500 below the budgeted rate. Based on our expenses to date for the year, we expect DVOE for the second half of 2011 to be $5,000.

Our vessel operating expenses, which generally represent fixed costs for each vessel, will increase as a result of the expansion of our fleet. Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, including, for instance, developments relating to market prices for crewing, lubes, and insurance, may also cause these expenses to increase.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT FEES-

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, general, administrative and management fees were $8.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The increase in general, administrative and management fees was primarily due to the addition of personnel as the fleet expanded. We incur management fees to third-party technical management companies for the day-to-day management of our vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. The increase in general, administrative and management fees was also a result of higher management fees related to the operation of a larger fleet.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

Depreciation and amortization charges increased by $7.8 million during the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010 primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet, including the 14 vessels delivered during the third quarter of 2010 and two vessels delivered during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as well as the nine Baltic Trading vessels delivered during 2010, which accounted for $2.4 million of the increase. This increase was slightly offset by a decrease in depreciation due to the change in estimated salvage value from $175 per lightweight ton to $245 per lightweight ton of $0.6 million. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding this change.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

NET INTEREST EXPENSE-

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net interest expense was $21.4 million and $15.6 million, respectively. Net interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2011 consisted of interest expense under our 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and Baltic Trading’s $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility as well as interest expense related to our 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2010 Notes”). Additionally, interest income, unused commitment fees associated with the credit facilities noted above as well as amortization of deferred financing costs related to the credit facilities noted above are included in net interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net interest expense for the second quarter of 2011 versus the second quarter of 2010 was primarily a result of borrowing under the additional credit facilities entered into by the Company during 2010 due to the acquisition of additional vessels during 2010 and 2011, as well as net interest expense incurred by Baltic Trading, which increased by $0.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year. Net interest expense during the second quarter of 2010 consisted primarily of interest expense under our 2007 Credit Facility and Baltic Trading’s $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility as well as unused commitment fees and deferred financing costs related to these facilities.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, income tax expense was $0.4 million as compared to $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Income tax expense consists primarily of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to certain agreements, we technically and commercially manage vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provide technical management of vessels for MEP in

exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Refer to the “Income taxes” section of Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. The decrease in income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period during the prior year is a result of additional income earned by Genco (USA) during the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was due to the 1% purchase fee due to Genco (USA) from Baltic Trading pursuant to the Management Agreement related to the delivery of five vessels during the three months ended June 30, 2010. There were no similar transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

NET (LOSS) INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest was ($0.3) million and $1.9 million, respectively. These amounts represent the net (loss) income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Baltic Trading, which completed its IPO on March 15, 2010.

Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, voyage revenues decreased 0.4% to $199.1 million versus $200.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Revenues decreased by approximately $0.9 million primarily as a result of lower charter rates achieved by the majority of our vessels substantially offset by the increase in the size of our fleet and an increase in revenues earned by Baltic Trading’s vessels of $12.5 million.

The average TCE rate of our fleet decreased 38.3% to $18,720 a day for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $30,326 a day for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in TCE rates resulted from lower charter rates achieved during the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the same period last year for the majority of the vessels in our fleet.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we had 10,641.2 and 6,609.8 ownership days, respectively. The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of 14 vessels during the third quarter of 2010 and two vessels during the first and second quarter of 2011 as well as a full quarter of ownership for Baltic Trading’s fleet of nine vessels which were acquired after March 31, 2010. Fleet utilization was stable at 99.4% and 99.5% for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

SERVICE REVENUES-

Service revenues consist of revenues earned from providing technical services to MEP pursuant to the agency agreement between us and MEP. These services include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services are provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, total service revenue was $1.6 million and $0, respectively.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we did not incur significant port and canal charges or any significant expenses related to the consumption of bunkers (fuel) as part of our vessels’ overall expenses because all of our vessels were employed under time charters, spot market-related time charters, or in pools that require the charterer or pool to bear all of those expenses.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, voyage expenses were $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of brokerage commissions paid to third parties. Additionally, we recognized net gains relative to bunker fuel for vessels coming off time charters amounting to $1,653 and $1,016 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses increased by $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily a result of the operation of a larger fleet. Additionally, the increase was due to the operation of nine Baltic Trading vessels which were delivered during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2010, which accounted for $6.4 million of additional vessel operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2011 over the comparative prior year period. The increase

Table of Contents

was also related to higher crew expenses offset by lower insurance and lube expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Daily vessel operating expenses increased to $4,723 per vessel per day for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $4,697 per day for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in daily vessel operating expenses was due to higher crew costs on certain of our vessels. We believe daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year of operation. For the first half of 2011, we budgeted daily vessel operating expenses at a weighted average rate of $5,200 per vessel per day. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $477 below the budgeted rate. Based on our expenses to date for the year, we expect DVOE for the second half of 2011 to be $5,000.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT FEES-

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, general, administrative and management fees were $17.1 million and $13.0 million, respectively. The increase in general, administrative and management fees was primarily due to the increase in expenses associated with the operation of Baltic Trading, which resulted in $1.0 million of additional expenses, as well as the addition of personnel as the fleet expanded. We incur management fees to third-party technical management companies for the day-to-day management of our vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. The increase in general, administrative and management fees was also a result of higher management fees related to the operation of a larger fleet.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

Depreciation and amortization charges increased by $16.0 million during the six months ended June 2011 as compared to the same period during 2010 primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet, including the 14 vessels delivered during the third quarter of 2010 and two vessels delivered during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as well as the nine Baltic Trading vessels delivered during 2010, which accounted for $6.0 million of the increase. This increase was slightly offset by a decrease in depreciation due to the change in estimated salvage value from $175 per lightweight ton to $245 per lightweight ton of $1.2 million. Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding this change.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

NET INTEREST EXPENSE-

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net interest expense was $42.5 million and $30.9 million, respectively. Net interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011 consisted of interest expense under our 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and Baltic Trading’s $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility as well as interest expense related to the 2010 Notes. Additionally, interest income, unused commitment fees and amortization of deferred financing costs related to the credit facilities noted above are included in net interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 versus the same period during 2010 was primarily a result of borrowing under the additional credit facilities entered into by the Company during 2010 due to the acquisition of additional vessels during 2010 and 2011, as well as net interest expense incurred by Baltic Trading, which increased by $1.9 million. Net interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011 consisted primarily of interest expense under our 2007 Credit Facility and Baltic Trading’s $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility as well as unused commitment fees and deferred financing costs related to these facilities.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, income tax expense was $0.7 million. This income tax expense consists primarily of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to certain agreements, we technically and commercially manage vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provide technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Refer to the “Income taxes” section of Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Table of Contents

NET (LOSS) INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest was ($1.5) million and $1.6 million, respectively. These amounts represent the net (loss) income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Baltic Trading, which completed its IPO on March 15, 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To date, we have financed our capital requirements with cash flow from operations, equity offerings, convertible notes and bank debt. We have used our funds primarily to fund vessel acquisitions, regulatory compliance expenditures, the repayment of bank debt and the associated interest expense and the payment of dividends. We will require capital to fund ongoing operations, acquisitions and debt service. Please refer to the discussion under the subheading “Dividend Policy” below for additional information regarding dividends. We also may consider debt and additional equity financing alternatives from time to time. However, if market conditions become negative, we may be unable to raise additional equity capital or debt financing on acceptable terms or at all.

Currently, our wholly-owned subsidiary Genco Investments LLC owns 5,699,088 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock, which represents a 25.22% ownership interest in Baltic Trading and 83.5% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Trading’s outstanding shares of voting stock. On April 16, 2010, Baltic Trading entered into a $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility with Nordea Bank Finland plc, acting through its New York branch (the “2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility”). The 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was subsequently amended effective November 30, 2010 which increased the borrowing capacity from $100 million to $150 million. The amended 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility matures on November 30, 2016. Refer to the 2010 10-K for a description of this facility as well as a description of the amendment entered into effective November 30, 2010. To remain in compliance with a net worth covenant in the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, Baltic Trading would need to maintain a net worth of $232.8 million after the payment of any dividends. We do not believe these restrictions have a significant impact on our liquidity.

We have entered into two secured term loan facilities during August 2010 in order to fund future vessel acquisitions. On August 12, 2010, we entered into a $100 million secured term loan facility to fund or refund to us a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of five vessels from companies within the Metrostar group of companies. Additionally, on August 20, 2010, we entered into a $253 million senior secured term loan facility to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of 13 vessels from Bourbon. Refer to the 2010 10-K for further information regarding these loan facilities.

On July 21, 2010, in two concurrent public offerings, we sold $125 million aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Notes and 3,593,750 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $15.28 per share, which reflected a price to the public of $16.00 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions of $0.72 per share. Such amounts reflected the exercise in full of the underwriters’ overallotment options.

The 2007 Credit Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility each include a maximum leverage ratio covenant limiting the ratio of our net debt to EBITDA to a maximum of 5.5 to 1. We calculate the leverage ratio under our 2007 Credit Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and $100 Million Term Loan Facility by dividing our Average Consolidated Net Indebtedness by our Consolidated EBITDA as defined under these facilities. There is no leverage ratio covenant under the Baltic Trading 2010 Credit Facility. Average Consolidated Net Indebtedness is the monthly average of our indebtedness as defined under the facilities, which at June 30, 2011 consisted of long-term debt, the 2010 Notes, cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) and the letter of credit issued related to leases.

Pursuant to the current terms of the 2007 Credit Facility, the existing collateral maintenance financial covenant is waived, which required us to maintain pledged vessels with a value equal to at least 130% of our current borrowings, and accelerated the reductions of the total facility which began on March 31, 2009. Please read the 2010 10-K for further details. The collateral maintenance covenant is waived until we can represent that we are in compliance with all of our financial covenants. Under the collateral maintenance covenants of our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the aggregate valuations of our vessels pledged under each facility must at least be a certain percentage of loans outstanding (or, in the case of the Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the total amount we may borrow), which percentages are 135%, 130%, and 140%, respectively. Under our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the amount payable upon early termination of any interest rate swaps under the facility is added to outstanding loans for purposes of this covenant. If our valuations fall below the applicable percentage, we must provide additional acceptable collateral, repay a portion of our borrowings, or (in the case of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility) permanently reduce the amount we may borrow under the facility to the extent required to restore our compliance with the applicable covenant.

We were in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio covenant under our credit facilities at June 30, 2011 and would have remained in compliance at that date with a 10% reduction in our EBITDA. However, due to the current prolonged weakness in drybulk shipping rates and borrowings we expect to make under our $100 Million Term Loan Facility for our remaining vessel acquisition, we may not meet this ratio at some point during 2011 if these market conditions continue. While we are seeking waivers

Table of Contents

or modifications to our credit agreements, which may be subject to certain conditions, and may also seek to raise additional capital through equity or debt offerings or selling assets (including vessels), we cannot be certain that we will accomplish any such actions. Absent such waivers or modifications, if we do not comply with these covenants, it would be an event of default under our credit agreements if we do not remedy our noncompliance within the applicable period following notice from our lenders. Upon an event of default under any of these three credit facilities, our lenders under each of these facilities may declare the indebtedness under our credit facilities to be immediately due and payable, and they may also terminate our ability to borrow further amounts under these facilities. In addition, if payment of any of our credit facility indebtedness were accelerated and such acceleration remained uncured within 30 days after we receive notice under the Indenture for our 2010 Notes, we would be in default under the Indenture, and our indebtedness under the 2010 Notes could be declared immediately due and payable unless we obtain a waiver. We can make no assurances that we could obtain additional or substitute financing if payment of any our indebtedness is accelerated. As a result, we may experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Dividend Policy

Historically, our dividend policy, which commenced in November 2005, has been to declare quarterly distributions to shareholders by each February, May, August and November, substantially equal to our available cash from operations during the previous quarter, less cash expenses for that quarter (principally vessel operating expenses and debt service) and any reserves our Board of Directors determines we should maintain. These reserves covered, among other things, drydocking, repairs, claims, liabilities and other obligations, interest expense and debt amortization, acquisitions of additional assets and working capital. In the future, we may incur other expenses or liabilities that would reduce or eliminate the cash available for distribution as dividends. Under the current terms of the 2007 Credit Facility, we are required to suspend the payment of cash dividends until we can represent that we are in a position to satisfy the collateral maintenance covenant. Refer to the 2010 10-K for further information regarding the current terms of the 2007 Credit Facility. As such, a dividend has not been declared during 2009, 2010 or the six months ended June 30, 2011.

As a result of the 2009 Amendment to the 2007 Credit Facility, we have suspended the payment of cash dividends effective for the fourth quarter of 2008, and payment of cash dividends will remain suspended until we can meet the collateral maintenance covenant contained in the 2007 Credit Facility.

The declaration and payment of any dividend is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and our compliance with the collateral maintenance covenant, which is currently waived. The timing and amount of dividend payments will depend on our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, fleet renewal and expansion, restrictions in our loan agreements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to shareholders and other factors. Our board of directors may review and amend our dividend policy from time to time in light of our plans for future growth and other factors.

We believe that, under current law, our dividend payments from earnings and profits will constitute “qualified dividend income” and, as such, will generally be subject to a 15% U.S. federal income tax rate with respect to non-corporate U.S. shareholders that meet certain holding period and other requirements (through 2012). Distributions in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a U.S. shareholder’s tax basis in its common stock on a dollar-for-dollar basis and, thereafter, as capital gain.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 13, 2008, our board of directors approved our share repurchase program for up to a total of $50.0 million of our common stock. Share repurchases will be made from time to time for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of purchases under the program were determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors. Purchases may be made pursuant to a program adopted under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act. The program does not require us to purchase any specific number or amount of shares and may be suspended or reinstated at any time in our discretion and without notice. Repurchases under the program are subject to restrictions under the 2007 Credit Facility. Currently, the terms of the 2007 Credit Facility require us to suspend all share repurchases until we can represent that we are in a position to again satisfy the collateral maintenance covenant. Refer to the 2010 10-K for further information. There were no share repurchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 or 2010.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $83.0 million and $118.0 million, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower net income for the first half of 2011, which resulted primarily from lower charter rates achieved in the 2011 period versus the same period last year for the majority of the vessels in our fleet. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to June 30, 2010, the lower net income was offset by

Table of Contents

significantly higher depreciation and amortization due to the operation of a larger fleet as well as a lower impact of the amortization of time charters acquired.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $68.3 million and $304.6 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to fewer funds used for deposits and purchases of vessels during the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010. Five of the initial six vessels in Baltic Trading’s fleet were acquired during the first half of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, cash used in investing activities primarily related to the purchase of vessels in the amount of $67.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash used in investing activities primarily related to purchases of vessels in the amount of $214.4 million and deposits on vessels in the amount of $84.9 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $194.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Cash provided by financing activities in 2011 mainly consisted of $21.5 million of proceeds from the $253 Million Term Loan Facility related to the Bourbon vessels acquired offset by the following uses of cash: a $25.0 million repayment of debt under the 2007 Credit Facility, $9.8 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $1.8 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $3.9 million dividend payments of our subsidiary, Baltic Trading, to its outside shareholders. For the same period last year, cash provided by financing activities consisted of $214.5 million of proceeds from the initial public offering of Baltic Trading Limited offset by repayments on the 2007 Credit Facility of $25.0 million, $3.7 million for payments of common stock issuance costs and offset by $10.0 million of proceeds from the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.

Credit Facilities

Refer to the 2010 10-K for a summary and description of our outstanding credit facilities, including the underlying financial and non-financial covenants.

As of June 30, 2011, we believe we are in compliance with all of the financial covenants under our 2007 Credit Facility (with the exception of the collateral maintenance financial covenant, which has been waived as discussed in Note 9 — Long-Term Debt of our condensed consolidated financial statements), the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements, Forward Freight Agreements and Currency Swap Agreements

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had nine and ten interest rate swap agreements with DnB NOR Bank, respectively, to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The total notional principal amount of the swaps is $706.2 million and $756.2 million, respectively, and the swaps have specified rates and durations.

Refer to the table in Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which summarizes the interest rate swaps in place as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

We have considered the creditworthiness of both ourselves and the counterparty in determining the fair value of the interest rate derivatives, and such consideration resulted in an immaterial adjustment to the fair value of derivatives on the balance sheet. Valuations prior to any adjustments for credit risk are validated by comparison with counterparty valuations. Amounts are not and should not be identical due to the different modeling assumptions. Any material differences are investigated.

As part of our business strategy, we may enter into arrangements commonly known as forward freight agreements, or FFAs, to hedge and manage market risks relating to the deployment of our existing fleet of vessels. These arrangements may include future contract, or commitments to perform in the future a shipping service between ship owners, charterers and traders. Generally, these arrangements would bind us and each counterparty in the arrangement to buy or sell a specified tonnage freighting commitment “forward” at an agreed time and price and for a particular route. Although FFAs can be entered into for a variety of purposes, including for hedging, as an option, for trading or for arbitrage, if we decided to enter into FFAs, our objective would be to hedge and manage market risks as part of our commercial management. It is not currently our intention to enter into FFAs to generate a stream of income independent of the revenues we derive from the operation of our fleet of vessels. If we determine to enter into FFAs, we may reduce our exposure to any declines in our results from operations due to weak market conditions or downturns, but may also limit our ability to benefit economically during periods of strong demand in the market. We have not entered into any FFAs as of June 30, 2011.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and their maturity dates as of June 30, 2011. The table incorporates our agreement with Metrostar to acquire two remaining Handysize vessels for an aggregate remaining purchase price of $59.9 million. Additionally, the table incorporates the employment agreement entered into in September 2007 with our Chief Financial Officer, John Wobensmith. The interest and borrowing fees reflect the 2007 Credit Facility, the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, as amended, the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2010 Notes utilizing the coupon rate of 5% which were issued on July 27, 2010 and the interest rate swap agreements as discussed above under the section “Interest Rate Swap Agreements, Forward Freight Agreements and Currency Swap Agreements.” The following table also incorporates the future lease payments associated with the current lease agreement as well at the new lease agreement entered into effective April 4, 2011. Refer to Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies for further information regarding the terms of the current and new lease agreements.

(1)	Represents the six-month period ending December 31, 2011.
(2)	The timing of this obligation is based on the actual or estimated delivery dates for the anticipated delivery of vessels as provided by the seller of the respective vessels. Upon the delivery of the Genco Mare on July 20, 2011, the remaining aggregate purchase price of $29.9 million was paid to the seller of the vessels.
(3)	On July 15, 2011, $20.0 million was drawn down by GS&T in order to fund the purchase of the Genco Mare, which was delivered on July 20, 2011.

Interest expense has been estimated using the fixed hedge rate for the effective period and notional amount of the debt which is effectively hedged and 0.25% for the portion of the debt that has no designated swap against it, plus the applicable bank margin of 2.00% for the 2007 Credit Facility and 3.00% for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the amended 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility. We are obligated to pay certain commitment fees in connection with all of our credit facilities, which have been reflected within interest and borrowing fees.

Capital Expenditures

We make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with our vessel acquisitions. Excluding Baltic Trading’s vessels, our fleet currently consists of nine Capesize drybulk carriers, eight Panamax drybulk carriers, 17 Supramax drybulk carriers, six Handymax drybulk carriers and 12 Handysize drybulk carriers. Baltic Trading’s fleet currently consists of two Capesize drybulk carriers, four Supramax drybulk carriers and three Handysize drybulk carriers.

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, we will incur additional expenditures due to special surveys and drydockings. We estimate our drydocking costs and scheduled off-hire days for our fleet through 2012 to be:

Year	Estimated Drydocking Cost		Estimated Off-hire Days
	(U.S. dollars in millions)

2011 (July 1- December 31, 2011)	$	5.6	180
2012	$	11.9	385

The costs reflected are estimates based on drydocking our vessels in China. We estimate that each drydock will result in 20 days of off-hire. Actual costs will vary based on various factors, including where the drydockings are actually performed. Three of Baltic Trading’s Supramax drybulk carriers that are drydocking during 2012 are anticipated to complete the required maintenance in only fifteen days. We expect to fund these costs with cash from operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred a total of $1.8 million and $2.6 million of drydocking costs, respectively.

Table of Contents

We estimate that nine of our vessels will be drydocked in the remainder of 2011. An additional 20 of our vessels, including three of Baltic Trading’s vessels, will be drydocked in 2012.

Refer to “Contractual Obligations” above for the remaining purchase price of vessels that we have agreed to purchase from Metrostar.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Inflation

Inflation has only a moderate effect on our expenses given current economic conditions. In the event that significant global inflationary pressures appear, these pressures would increase our operating, voyage, general and administrative, and financing costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes or updates to the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the 2010 10-K, with the exception of the accounting policies noted below or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011.

Vessels and Depreciation

We record the value of our vessels at their cost (which includes acquisition costs directly attributable to the vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage) less accumulated depreciation. We depreciate our drybulk vessels on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, estimated to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation is based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. Effective January 1, 2011, we increased the estimated scrap value of the vessels from $175/lwt to $245/lwt prospectively based on the 15-year average scrap value of steel. This increase in the residual value of the vessels will decrease the annual depreciation charge over the remaining useful life of the vessel. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Similarly, an increase in the useful life of a drybulk vessel would also decrease the annual depreciation charge. Comparatively, a decrease in the useful life of a drybulk vessel or in its residual value would have the effect of increasing the annual depreciation charge. However, when regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, we will adjust the vessel’s useful life to end at the date such regulations preclude such vessel’s further commercial use.

The carrying value of each of our vessels does not represent the fair market value of such vessel or the amount we could obtain if we were to sell any of our vessels, which could be more or less. Under U.S. GAAP, we would not record a loss if the fair market value of a vessel (excluding its charter) is below our carrying value unless and until we determine to sell that vessel or the vessel is impaired as discussed below under “Impairment of long-lived assets.” Excluding the three Bourbon vessels we resold immediately upon delivery to MEP at our cost, we have sold three of our vessels since our inception and realized a profit in each instance. However, we did determine to cancel an acquisition of six drybulk newbuildings in November 2008, incurring a $53.8 million loss from the forfeiture of our deposit and related interest.

Pursuant to our bank credit facilities, we regularly submit to the lenders valuations of our vessels on an individual charter free basis in order to evidence our compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants under our bank credit facilities. Such a valuation is not necessarily the same as the amount any vessel may bring upon sale, which may be more or less, and should not be relied upon as such. We were in compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants under our $100 Million Term Loan Facility and our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, as well as the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, at June 30, 2011, and the collateral maintenance covenant under our 2007 Credit Facility was waived at June 30, 2011, as discussed in Note 9 — Long-Term Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In the chart below, we list each of our vessels that represent the collateral for the aforementioned credit facilities, the year it was built, the year we acquired it, and its carrying value at June 30, 2011. We have indicated by an asterisk those vessels for which the vessel valuations for covenant compliance purposes under our bank credit facilities as of the most recent compliance testing date were lower than their carrying values at June 30, 2011. For the Genco Ocean and the Genco Bay, the last compliance testing date was February 17, 2011, in accordance with the terms of the $100 Million Term Loan Facility; for the Genco Avra, the valuation was obtained as of the date the vessel was delivered on May 12, 2011; and for all other vessels, the compliance testing date was June 30, 2011, in accordance with the terms of the applicable credit facility.

Table of Contents

The amount by which the carrying value at June 30, 2011 of vessels marked with an asterisk exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $0.1 million to $70.8 million. The average amount by which the carrying value of the vessels marked with an asterisk exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes was $22.6 million. However, neither such valuation nor the carrying value in the table below reflects the value of long-term time charters related to some of our vessels, which can be significant.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on our earnings and cash flow in relation to our borrowings. We held nine and ten interest rate swap agreements with DnB NOR Bank at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to manage future interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The total notional principal amount of the swaps is $706.2 million and $756.2 million, respectively, and the swaps have specified rates and durations. Refer to the table in Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements of our condensed consolidated financial statements which summarizes the interest rate swaps in place as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The swap agreements with effective dates prior to June 30, 2011 synthetically convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt at the fixed interest rate of the swap plus the applicable margin of 2.00% as discussed as discussed in the “2007 Credit Facility” section of Note 9 — Long-Term Debt of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

The total liability associated with the swaps at June 30, 2011 is $35.4 million, of which $9.8 million is current, and $43.3 million at December 31, 2010, of which $4.4 million is current, and is presented as the fair value of derivatives on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has accumulated other comprehensive (deficit) income (“AOCI”) of ($35.2) million and ($43.2) million, respectively, related to the effectively hedged portion of the swaps. Hedge ineffectiveness associated with the interest rate swaps resulted in a minimal amount of other (expense) income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. At June 30, 2011, ($21.5) million of AOCI is expected to be reclassified into income over the next 12 months associated with interest rate derivatives.

We are subject to market risks relating to changes in LIBOR rates because we have significant amounts of floating rate debt outstanding. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we paid LIBOR plus 2.00% on the 2007 Credit Facility for the debt in excess of any designated swap’s notional amount for such swap’s effective period. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we also paid LIBOR plus 3.00% on the outstanding debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility. There was no interest expense incurred on outstanding debt related to the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility as these credit facilities were not entered into until the third quarter of

Table of Contents

2010. A 1% increase in LIBOR would result in an increase of $4.6 million in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011, considering the increase would be only on the unhedged portion of the debt.

Derivative financial instruments

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we held nine and ten interest rate swap agreements, respectively, with DnB NOR Bank to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The total notional principal amount of the swaps is $706.2 million and $756.2 million, respectively, and the swaps have specified rates and durations. Refer to the table in Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which summarizes the interest rate swaps in place as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The differential to be paid or received for these swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred. The interest rate differential pertaining to the interest rate swaps for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $7.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively. The interest rate differential pertaining to the interest rate swaps for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $14.6 million and $15.2 million, respectively. The Company is currently utilizing cash flow hedge accounting for the swaps whereby the effective portion of the change in value of the swaps is reflected as a component of AOCI. The ineffective portion is recognized as other (expense) income, which is a component of other (expense) income. If for any period of time we did not designate the swaps for hedge accounting, the change in the value of the swap agreements prior to designation would be recognized as other (expense) income.

Amounts receivable or payable arising at the settlement of hedged interest rate swaps are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the period of interest rate exposure provided the designated liability continues to exist. Amounts receivable or payable arising at the settlement of unhedged interest rate swaps are reflected as other (expense) income and is listed as a component of other (expense) income.

Refer to “Interest rate risk” section above for further information regarding the interest rate swap agreements.

Currency and exchange rates risk

The international shipping industry’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. Virtually all of our revenues and most of our operating costs are in U.S. Dollars. We incur certain operating expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and the foreign exchange risk associated with these operating expenses is immaterial.

As part of our business strategy, we may enter into short-term forward currency contracts to protect ourselves from the risk arising from the fluctuation in the exchange rate associated with the cost basis of the Jinhui shares.

Investments

We hold an investment in Jinhui of $42.5 million, which is classified as available for sale under Accounting Standards Codification 320-10, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320-10”). The investment is classified as a noncurrent asset based on our intent to hold the investment at each reporting date. The investments that are classified as available for sale are subject to risk of changes in market value, which if determined to be impaired (other than temporarily impaired), could result in realized impairment losses. The Company reviews the carrying value of such investments on a quarterly basis to determine if any valuation adjustments are appropriate under ASC 320-10. We will continue to evaluate the investment on a quarterly basis to determine the likelihood of any further significant adverse effects on the fair value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we have not deemed our investment to be impaired. In the event we determine that the Jinhui investment is subject to any impairment, the amount of the impairment would be reclassified from AOCI and recorded as a loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the amount of the impairment.
