On April 21, 2014 (the “Petition Date”), GS&T and its subsidiaries other than Baltic Trading Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors continued to operate their businesses in the ordinary course as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Through the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors implemented a Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Prepack Plan”) for which the Company solicited votes from certain classes of its creditors prior to commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement that the Debtors entered into with certain of its creditors on April 3, 2014. The Company subsequently emerged from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to each of the following agreements or instruments:

· the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2007 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, the banks and other financial institutions named therein as lenders, Wilmington Trust, N.A., as successor administrative and collateral agent, and the other parties thereto, relating to approximately $1,055,912 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “2007 Credit Facility”);

· the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Aquitaine Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG Filiale Deutschlandgeschaft, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as mandated lead arrangers, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as swap providers, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as agent for the lenders and the assignee, relating to approximately $175,718 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$253 Million Term Loan Facility”);

· the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Ocean Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as agent and security trustee, relating to approximately $73,561 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$100 Million Term Loan Facility”);

· the Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture relating to $125,000 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest outstanding of the Company’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2010 Notes”) due August 15, 2015 (the “Indenture”); and

· the outstanding interest rate swap with DnB NOR Bank, relating to a liability position of $5,622.

As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, all indebtedness outstanding under the 2007 Credit Facility and the Indenture was accelerated and became due and payable, and indebtedness under the other agreements and instruments described above were accelerated and become due and payable upon notice to the Company, subject to an automatic stay of any action to collect, assert, or recover a claim against the Company or the other Debtors and the application of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

On July 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”), confirming the First Amended Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used but not defined below shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan. On July 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Debtors completed their financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan, and the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms. References to “Successor Company” refer to the Company after July 9, 2014, after giving effect to the application of fresh-start reporting (see “Financial Statement Presentation” section below). References to “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to July 9, 2014.

Key components of the Plan included:

· The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2007 Credit Facility into 81.1% of the Successor Company Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2007 Credit Facility was terminated, and the liens and mortgages thereunder were released. Refer to Note 9 — Debt for further information.

· The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2010 Notes into 8.4% of the Successor Company Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged. Refer to Note 10 — Convertible Senior Notes for further information.

· A fully backstopped Rights Offering for approximately 8.7% of the Successor Company Common Stock, in which holders of 2007 Credit Facility Claims were entitled to subscribe for up to 80% of the Successor Company Common Stock offered, and holders of the 2010 Notes Claims were entitled to subscribe for up to 20% of the Successor Company Common Stock being offered under the Rights Offering for an aggregate subscription price of $100,000.

· The amendment and restatement of the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility as of the Effective Date, with extended maturities, a financial covenant holiday and certain other amendments, as discussed further in Note 9 - Debt.

· The cancellation of the common stock of the Predecessor Company as of the Effective Date, with the holders thereof receiving warrants to acquire shares of the Successor Company Common Stock. Each of the Successor Company’s Equity Warrants is exercisable for one share of the Successor Company’s Common Stock, and holders received an aggregate of 3,938,298 of the Successor Company’s Equity Warrants for the common stock of the Predecessor Company. The Successor Company’s Equity Warrants in the aggregate are exercisable for approximately 6% of the Successor Company Common Stock (subject to dilution).

· Reinstatement, non-impairment or payment in full in the ordinary course of business during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims, including Allowed Claims of trade vendors, suppliers, customers and charterers, per the approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

· The non-impairment of all other General Unsecured Claims under Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code.

· The establishment of the Genco Shipping & Trading Limited 2014 Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”), which provides for the distribution of the Successor Company’s MIP Primary Equity in the form of shares representing 1.8% of the Successor Company’s Common Stock and three tiers of the Successor Company’s MIP Warrants (“MIP Warrants”) with staggered strike prices based on increasing equity values to the participating officers, directors, and other management of the Successor Company. These awards were made on August 7, 2014. Refer to Note 22 — Stock-Based Compensation.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Successor Company and the Registration Rights Parties entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provided the Registration Rights Parties who receive 10% or more of the Successor Company’s Common Stock under the Plan with demand and piggyback registration rights. All other Registration Rights Parties have piggyback registration rights only.

Reorganization Value

The Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court estimated the reorganization value of the Debtors to be $1.23 billion. This reorganization value was determined by, among other things, vessel appraisals and other valuation methodologies as well as the Debtors’ equity interests in Baltic Trading and Jinhui Shipping, $100,000 of cash invested through the Rights Offering and approximately $250,000 of debt projected to be on the balance sheet of the Debtors. It also assumed that The Debtors would issue approximately 61.7 million primary shares of New Genco Common Stock valued at $20.00 per share (prior to dilution) in order to satisfy claims pursuant to the Plan.

The foregoing estimates of the post-confirmation equity value of the Debtors and the share price of New Genco Common Stock were based on a number of assumptions, including no material adverse changes in the spot rate market, no further ship arrests, the continuing employment of the Debtors’ vessels, the continuing service revenue from Baltic Trading and MEP, the Rights Offering, and other assumptions. Such valuation assumptions are not a prediction or reflection of postconfirmation trading prices of the Debtors’ common stock. Such securities may trade at substantially lower or higher prices because of a number of factors. The trading prices of securities issued under a plan of reorganization are subject to many unforeseen circumstances and therefore cannot be predicted.

Successor Company Equity Warrant Agreement

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Successor Company’s Equity Warrants totaling 3,938,298 were issued pursuant to the terms of the Successor Company’s Equity Warrant Agreement (the “Equity Warrants”). Each of the Equity Warrants has a 7-year term (commencing on the day following the Effective Date) and are exercisable for one share of the Successor Company’s Common Stock. The Equity Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $20.99 per share. The Successor Company’s Equity Warrant Agreement contains customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, dividend or other distributions (including, but not limited to, cash dividends), or business combination transaction.

The Equity Warrants were distributed to holders of the common stock of the Predecessor Company, which was cancelled as of the Effective Date. Shares of common stock of the Predecessor Company issued to directors, officers and employees of Genco under compensatory plans that were unvested as of the Effective Date were deemed vested automatically on the Effective Date, so that all Equity Warrants received in exchange were therefore deemed vested. Refer to Note 22 — Stock-Based Compensation for further information.

Financial Statement Presentation

Upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on July 9, 2014, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting in accordance with provisions of ASC 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”). Upon adoption of fresh-start accounting, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their value as of the fresh-start reporting date. The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities in conformance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, as of that date differed materially from the recorded values of its assets and liabilities as reflected in its historical consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company’s adoption of fresh-start accounting may materially affect its results of operations following the fresh-start reporting dates, as the Company will have a new basis in its assets and liabilities. Consequently, the Company’s historical financial statements may not be reliable indicators of its financial condition and results of operations for any period after it adopted fresh-start accounting. As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of operations subsequent to July 9, 2014 will not be comparable in many respects to our condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of operations prior to July 9, 2014.

Under ASC 852, fresh-start accounting is required upon emergence from Chapter 11 if (i) the value of the assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation is less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims; and (ii) holders of existing voting shares immediately before confirmation receive less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity. Accordingly, the Company qualified for and adopted fresh-start accounting as of the Effective Date. Adopting fresh-start accounting results in a new reporting entity with no beginning retained earnings or deficit. The cancellation of all existing shares outstanding on the Effective Date and issuance of new shares of the reorganized entity caused a related change of control of the Company under ASC 852.

The following fresh-start balance sheet illustrates the financial effects on the Company of the implementation of the Plan and the adoption of fresh-start reporting. This fresh-start balance sheet reflects the effect of the completion of the transactions included in the Plan, including the issuance of equity and the settlement of old indebtedness.

The effects of the Plan and fresh-start reporting on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

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 GS&T, 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 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, 2013 (the “2013 10-K”). The results of operations for the periods January 1, 2014 through July 9, 2014 for the Predecessor Company and July 9, 2014 through September 30, 2014 for the Successor Company are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

Vessels, net

Vessels, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. The Company also capitalizes interest costs for a vessel under construction as a cost which is directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel. Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation expense for vessels for the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014 for the Successor Company was $17,221. Depreciation expense for vessels for the period from July 1 to July 9, 2014 and from January 1 to July 9, 2014 for the Predecessor Company was $3,039 and $71,756, respectively. Depreciation expense for vessels for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 for the Predecessor Company was $33,591 and $99,432, respectively.

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 July 9, 2014, on the Effective Date, the Company increased the estimated scrap value of the vessels from $245 per lwt to $310 per 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 period from July 9 to September 30, 2014, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $735 for the Successor Company. The decrease in depreciation expense resulted in a $0.02 change to the basic and diluted net loss per share during the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014. The basic and diluted net loss per share would have been ($0.32) per share if there was no change in the estimated scrap value.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue includes cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as voyage revenue when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had an accrual of $587 and $536, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

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 related in a net (gain) loss of ($36) during the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014 for the Successor Company. During the period from July 1 to July 9, 2014 and from January 1 to July 9, 2014, the Predecessor Company recorded net (gains) losses of ($3) and ($252), respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Predecessor Company recorded net (gains) losses of

$296 and ($47), respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Noncontrolling interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the periods from July 9 to September 30, 2014 for the Successor Company was $4,272. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the period from July 1 to July 9, 2014 and from January 1 to July 9, 2014 for the Predecessor Company was $568 and $8,734. Lastly, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 for the Predecessor Company was $1,942 and $9,300, respectively. The aforementioned amounts reflect 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, in vessel pools or on spot market-related time charters. The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages. At September 30, 2014, the noncontrolling interest held an 88.96% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 34.94% of the voting power. At December 31, 2013, the noncontrolling interest held an 88.95% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 34.92% of the voting power.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance. Based on this information, the Company has two reportable operating segments, GS&T and Baltic Trading. Both GS&T and Baltic Trading are engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. GS&T seeks to deploy its vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market and Baltic Trading seeks to deploy its vessel charters in the spot market, which represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages, or employing vessels on spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools. Segment results are evaluated based on net (loss) income. The accounting policies applied to the reportable segments are the same as those used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting on the Effective Date, the cost basis for certain of Baltic Trading’s assets were revalued and are reflected in the Baltic Trading balances in the segment information reported below.

As part of fresh-start reporting, the Company revised its cost basis for its investments in Jinhui and KLC based on their fair values on the Effective Date.

Refer to Note 12 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for a breakdown of the components of AOCI.

7 — NET (LOSS) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of basic net (loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted net (loss) earnings per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards (refer to Note 22 — Stock-Based Compensation), 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 1,110,600 and 0 nonvested shares outstanding at September 30, 2014 and July 9, 2014 for the Successor Company and Predecessor Company, respectively (refer to Note 22 — Stock-Based Compensation), all are anti-dilutive. The Successor Company’s diluted net (loss) earnings per share will also reflect the assumed conversion of the Equity Warrants and MIP Warrants issued by the Successor Company if the impact is dilutive under the treasury stock method. The Predecessor Company’s diluted net (loss) earnings per share will also reflect the assumed conversion of the Company’s convertible debt if the impact is dilutive under the “if converted” method. The impact of the shares convertible under the Predecessor Company’s convertible notes is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when the interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

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

2007 Credit Facility

On July 20, 2007, the Company entered into the 2007 Credit Facility with DnB NOR Bank ASA. The maximum amount that may be borrowed under the 2007 Credit Facility prior to its termination as part of the Plan was $1,055,912.

In 2009, the Company obtained a waiver of the collateral maintenance covenant under this facility until the Company can represent that it is in compliance with all of its financial covenants and is otherwise able to pay a dividend and purchase or redeem shares of common stock under the terms of the facility in effect before the waiver. The Company’s cash dividends and share repurchases were suspended until the collateral maintenance financial covenant could be satisfied.

The maximum leverage ratio covenant and minimum permitted consolidated interest ratio covenants were waived for the periods ending on and including December 31, 2013 pursuant to the August 1, 2012 agreements to amend or waive certain provisions of the agreements for the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility (as defined below) (the “August 2012 Agreements”).

The gross interest-bearing debt to total capital covenant ended during the period ending on and including December 31, 2013 pursuant to the August 2012 Agreements. This covenant limited the ratio of the Company’s interest-bearing indebtedness to the sum of its interest-bearing indebtedness and its consolidated net worth in accordance with U.S. GAAP to 62.5% on the last day of any fiscal quarter during the waiver period.

Additionally, pursuant to the August 2012 Agreements, the total applicable margin over LIBOR payable on the principal amount of debt outstanding increased from 2.0% to 3.0% per annum. The minimum cash balance required was also increased from $500 to $750 per vessel mortgaged under this facility pursuant to the August 2012 Agreements.

Pursuant to the amendment to the 2007 Credit Facility which was entered into on December 21, 2011, the Company was subject to a facility fee of 2.0% per annum on the average daily outstanding principal amount of the loans outstanding, payable quarterly in arrears, which was subject to a reduction to 1.0% if the Company consummated an equity offering resulting in an aggregate amount of $50,000 of gross proceeds. On February 28, 2012, the Company completed an equity offering of 7,500,000 shares which resulted in gross proceeds of $53,250. As such, effective February 28, 2012, the facility fee was reduced to 1.0%.

To allow discussions with our creditors concerning our restructuring to continue into April 2014 without the need to file for immediate bankruptcy relief, on March 31, 2014, we entered into agreements with certain of the lenders under our 2007 Credit Facility, our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, and our $253 Million Term Loan Facility (our “Credit Facilities”) to obtain waivers or forbearances with respect to certain potential or actual events of default as of March 31, 2014 as follows (the “Relief Agreements”):

· not making the scheduled amortization payment on March 31, 2014 under our 2007 Credit Facility;

· not meeting the consolidated interest ratio covenant for the period ended March 31, 2014;

· not meeting the maximum leverage ratio covenant for the period ending March 31, 2014;

· not meeting the collateral maintenance test under the 2007 Credit Facility;

· not meeting the minimum cash balance covenant under the 2007 Credit Facility;

· not furnishing audited financial statements to the lenders within 90 days after year end for the year ended December 31, 2013;

· a cross-default with respect to our outstanding interest rate swap with respect to the foregoing;

· cross-defaults among our credit facilities with respect to the foregoing; and

· any related defaults or events of default resulting from the failure to give notice with respect to any of the foregoing.

The Relief Agreement for our 2007 Credit Facility provided that the agent and consenting lenders would forbear to exercise their rights and remedies through 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2014 with respect to the foregoing potential or actual events of default, subject to earlier termination if a subsequent event of default occurs under our credit agreements other than those described above or if we breach the terms of the Relief Agreement. The Relief Agreements for our other two Credit Facilities provided that the agent and lenders waived through 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2014 the foregoing potential or actual events of default, subject to earlier termination if

a subsequent event of default occurs under our credit agreements or if we breach the terms of the Relief Agreements. Notwithstanding such waivers and forbearances, the fact that we did not make the scheduled amortization payment on March 31, 2014 constituted an event of default under our currently outstanding interest rate swap. In addition, under the indenture and supplemental indenture (the “Indenture”) governing our 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes issued on July 27, 2010 (the “2010 Notes”), our failure to make such payment would constitute an event of default under the Indenture if we fail to cure such default within 30 days after notice from the trustee under the Indenture.

On April 1, 2014, we entered into new agreements with the other parties to the Relief Agreements that extended the expiration of the forbearances and waivers under the Relief Agreements from 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2014 to 11:59 p.m. on April 21, 2014. Also, the forbearances and waivers would have terminated if a definitive agreement for our restructuring was not effective by 11:59 p.m. on April 4, 2014. We avoided this termination through our entry into the Support Agreement. Such new agreements are otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Relief Agreements.

As of July 9, 2014, the Effective Date, the 2007 Credit Facility was terminated and the liens and mortgages related thereto were released as part of the Plan. Refer to the “Bankruptcy Filing” section of Note 1 — General Information for further information regarding the Chapter 11 Cases.

· The total commitment under this facility was reduced to $110,000 and will be further reduced in three consecutive semi-annual reductions of $5,000 commencing on May 30, 2015.

2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities

Table of Contents

Capital USA LLC and its affiliates (the “2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities”) to partially finance the newbuilding Ultramax vessel that each subsidiary is to acquire, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, respectively. Amounts borrowed under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities may not be reborrowed. The 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities have a ten-year term, and the facility amount is to be the lowest of 60% of the delivered cost per vessel, $16,800 per vessel, and 60% of the fair market value of each vessel at delivery. The 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities are insured by the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure) in order to cover political and commercial risks for 95% of the outstanding principal plus interest, which will be recorded in deferred financing fees. Borrowings under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities bear interest at the three or six-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum. Borrowings are to be repaid in 20 equal consecutive semi-annual installments of 1/24 of the facility amount plus a balloon payment of 1/6 of the facility amount at final maturity. Principal repayments will commence six months after the actual delivery date for a vessel.

Borrowings under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities are to be secured by liens on the Baltic Trading’s vessels acquired with borrowings under these facilities, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and other related assets. Baltic Trading guarantees the obligations of the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities.

The 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities require Baltic Trading, Baltic Hornet Limited and Baltic Wasp Limited to comply with covenants comparable to those of the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, except for a collateral maintenance covenant requiring that the minimum fair market value of the vessel acquired be 135% of the amount outstanding under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities.

On October 24, 2014, Baltic Trading drew down $16,800 for the purchase of the Baltic Hornet, which was delivered on October 29, 2014.

Change of Control

If the Company’s ownership in Baltic Trading were to decrease to less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock and Class B Stock of Baltic Trading, the outstanding Baltic Trading Class B Stock held by the Company would automatically convert into common stock, and the voting power held by the Company in Baltic Trading would likewise decrease to less than 30%. This would result in a change of control as defined under the Baltic Trading 2010 Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities, and would therefore constitute an event of default. Additionally, a change of control constituting an event of default under Baltic Trading’s credit facilities would also occur if any party other than the Company or certain other permitted holders beneficially owns more than 30% of the Company’s outstanding voting or economic equity interests, which may occur if a party were deemed to control Genco. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for discussion of the Company’s current economic status. The Prepack Plan did not result, and the Company does not expect the Prepack Plan to result, in a reduction of the Company’s ownership in Baltic Trading. As of the date of this report, no change of control under either of the foregoing tests has occurred. In addition, Baltic Trading has the right to terminate the Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a Manager Change of Control (as defined in the Management Agreement), without making a termination payment. Some of these have occurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Prepack Plan, including the consummation of any transaction that results in (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than Peter Georgiopoulos or any of his affiliates, becoming the beneficial owner of 25% of the Company’s voting securities or (ii) the Company’s stock ceasing to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange or any other internationally recognized stock exchange. Therefore, Baltic Trading may have the right to terminate the Management Agreement, although Baltic Trading may be prevented or delayed from doing so because of the effect of applicable bankruptcy law, including the automatic stay provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and the provisions of the Prepack Plan and the Confirmation Order. The Prepack Plan did not result in any changes to the Management Agreement. In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 filed on November 10, 2014, Baltic Trading stated that its Board of Directors had not made any determination as of the date of such report regarding any action in connection with the Management Agreement in light of the foregoing events.

Interest payable

As required under the August 2012 Agreements, lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility will receive a fee equal to 1.25% of the principal amount outstanding following such prepayment, or $13,199, on the earlier date of the maturity date of this facility or the date on which all obligations under this facility have been paid in full. On the Effective Date, the 2007 Credit Facility was terminated, therefore this liability was discharged. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for further information regarding the Chapter 11 Cases.

10 — CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

The Company issued $125,000 of the 2010 Notes on July 27, 2010. The Indenture for the 2010 Notes includes customary agreements and covenants by the Company, including with respect to events of default. As noted in Note 1 — General Information, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases by the Company on April 21, 2014 constituted an event of default with respect to the 2010 Notes. On this date, the Company ceased recording interest expense related to the 2010 Notes. During the period from July 1 to July 9, 2014 and January 1 to July 9, 2014, interest expense of $255 and $2,522, including the amortization of the discount of the liability component and the bond coupon interest expense, was not recorded by the Predecessor Company, which would have been incurred had the indebtedness not been reclassified as a Liability subject to compromise. On the Effective Date, when the Company emerged from Chapter 11, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged.

The following tables provide additional information about the Company’s 2010 Notes:

11 - INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had four interest swap agreements outstanding with DNB Bank ASA to manage interest costs and the risk associated with variable interest rates related to the Company’s 2007 Credit Facility. The total notional principal amount of the swaps at December 31, 2013 was $306,233 and the swaps had specified rates and durations. Three of the swaps that were outstanding at December 31, 2013 expired during 2014 prior to the Petition Date.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in default under covenants of its 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on the scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for additional information regarding defaults relating to the swap. The default under the 2007 Credit Facility requires the Company to elect interest periods of only one-month, therefore the Company no longer qualified for hedge accounting under the original designation and hedge accounting was terminated effective March 31, 2014. Additionally, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases by the Company on the Petition Date constituted an event of default with respect to the outstanding interest rate swap with DNB Bank ASA. As a result, DNB Bank ASA terminated all transactions under the remaining swap agreement effective April 30, 2014 and filed a secured claim with the Bankruptcy Court of $5,622. The claim was paid to DNB Bank ASA by the Successor Company during the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014.

The following table summarizes the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges that were in place as of December 31, 2013 for the Predecessor Company:

The differentials to be paid or received for these swap agreements are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred. The Company utilized cash flow hedge accounting for these swaps through March 31, 2014, whereby the effective portion of the change in the value of the swaps is reflected as a component of AOCI. The ineffective portion is recognized as other expense, which is a component of other (expense) income. On March 31, 2014, the cash flow hedge accounting on the remaining swap agreement was discontinued. Once cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in interest expense and the remaining amounts included in AOCI are amortized to interest expense over the original term of the hedging relationship for the Predecessor Company.

The following tables present the impact of derivative instruments and their location within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Predecessor Company:

13 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values and carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 which are required to be disclosed at fair value, but not recorded at fair value, are noted below.

	Successor				Predecessor
	September 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	106,620	$	106,620	$	122,722	$	122,722
Restricted cash	10,150		10,150		10,150		10,150
Floating rate debt	405,045		405,045		1,480,064		See Below
2010 Notes	—		—		115,881		63,438

The fair value of the floating rate debt under the Amended and Restated $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the Amended and Restated $253 Million Term Loan Facility are based on rates obtained upon our emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date. The 2007 Credit Facility was terminated on the Effective Date; however, a portion of the floating rate debt of the 2007 Credit Facility which was outstanding as of December 31, 2013 was traded in a private transaction for an amount that is not determinable by the Company, which Management believed was lower than the debt’s current carrying value as of December 31, 2013. The fair value of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility is based on rates Baltic Trading has obtained pursuant to the amendment to the existing 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility on August 29, 2013. The fair value of the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility is based on rates that Baltic Trading recently obtained upon the effective dates of these facilities on August 30, 2013 and December 3, 2013, respectively. Refer to Note 9 — Debt for further information. 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, except for the 2007 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2013. The fair value of the convertible senior notes payable represents the market value based on recent transactions of the 2010 Notes at December 31, 2013 without bifurcating the value of the conversion option. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at December 31, 2013 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 carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (principally Due from charterers and Accounts payable and accrued expenses), approximate fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

ASC 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 fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the

Table of Contents

assumption (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

· Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

· Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

· Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

	Successor
	September 30, 2014
	Total		Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Investments	$	38,463	$	38,463	$	—

	Predecessor
	December 31, 2013
	Total		Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)

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. The Company also holds an investment in the stock of KLC, which is classified as a long-term investment. The stock of KLC is publicly traded on the Korea Stock Exchange and is considered a Level 1 item. The Company’s only interest rate derivative instrument is a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps based on LIBOR which was outstanding as of December 31, 2013. The Company has elected to use the income approach to value this derivative, 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 have also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments. This credit valuation adjustment did not have a material impact on the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments as of December 31, 2013. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for additional information regarding defaults relating to the swap. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. Floating rate debt is considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company considers the estimate of rates it could obtain for similar debt or based upon transaction amongst third parties. The 2010 Notes were publicly traded in the over-the-counter market; however, they were not considered to be actively traded. As such, the 2010 Notes are considered to be a Level 2 item as of December 31, 2013. The interest rate swap agreement and 2010 Notes were not outstanding as of September 30, 2014. The Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

21 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In September 2005, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for office space in New York, New York for which there was a free rental period from September 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006. On January 6, 2012, the Company ceased the use of this space. During the period from July 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Predecessor Company recorded net rent expense of ($13) and ($39), respectively. During the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Predecessor Company recorded net rent expense of ($41) and $92, representing the adjustment of the present value of the Company’s estimating remaining rent expense for the duration of the lease after taking into account estimated future sublease income based on the sublease agreement entered into effective November 1, 2013. The current and long-term lease obligations related to this lease agreement as of December 31, 2013 of $176 and $744, respectively, are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet in Current portion of lease obligations and Long-term lease obligation, respectively, for the Predecessor Company. Pursuant to the Plan that was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors rejected this lease agreement on the Effective Date and the Company believes that it will owe the lessor the remaining liability.

Effective April 4, 2011, the Company entered into a seven-year sub-sublease agreement for additional office space in New York, New York. The term of the sub-sublease commenced June 1, 2011, with a free base rental period until October 31, 2011. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments are $82 per month until May 31, 2015 and thereafter will be $90 per month until the end of the seven-year term. Pursuant to the sub-sublease agreement, the sublessor was obligated to contribute $472 toward the cost of the Company’s alterations to the sub-subleased office space. The Company has also entered into a direct lease with the over-landlord of such office space that will commence immediately upon the expiration of such sub-sublease agreement, for a term covering the period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2025; the direct lease provides for a free base rental period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments will be $186 per month from October 1, 2018 to April 30, 2023 and $204 per month from May 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. For accounting purposes, the sub-sublease agreement and direct lease agreement with the landlord constitutes one lease agreement. As a result of the straight-line rent calculation generated by the free rent period and the tenant work credit, the monthly straight-line rental expense for the term of the entire lease from June 1, 2011 to September 30, 2025 was $130 for the Predecessor Company. On the Effective Date, a revised straight-line rent calculation was completed as part of fresh-start reporting. The revised monthly straight-line rental expense for the term of the lease from the Effective Date to September 30, 2025 is $150. The Company had a long-term lease obligation at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $186 and $2,370, respectively. Rent expense pertaining to this lease recorded by the Successor Company for the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014 was $410. Rent expense pertaining to this lease recorded by the Predecessor Company for the period from July 1 to July 9, 2014, January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $34, $813, $389 and $1,168, respectively.

On December 30, 2012, a total payment was due from Samsun in the amount of $527 which represents 9.0% of the total $5,852 approved cash settlement. On December 30, 2013, a total payment was due from Samsun in the amount of $468 which represents 8.0% if the total $5,852 approved cash settlement.

Genco Shipping & Trading — Successor Company

2014 Management Incentive Plan

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan, the Company adopted the MIP (as defined in Note 1 — General Information). An aggregate of 9,668,061 shares of Common Stock were available for award under the MIP, which were awarded in the form of restricted stock grants and awards of three tiers of MIP Warrants with staggered strike prices based on increasing equity values. The number of shares of common stock available under the Plan represented approximately 1.8% of the shares of post-

Table of Contents

emergence Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date on a fully-diluted basis. Awards under the MIP were available to eligible employees, non-employee directors and/or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Eligible Individuals”). Under the MIP, a committee appointed by the Board from time to time (or, in the absence of such a committee, the Board) (in either case, the “Plan Committee”) may grant a variety of stock-based incentive awards, as the Plan Committee deems appropriate, to Eligible Individuals. The MIP Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and contain customary anti-dilution protection in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, dividend or other distributions (including, but not limited to, cash dividends), or business combination transaction.

On August 7, 2014, pursuant to the MIP, certain individuals were granted MIP Warrants whereby each warrant can be converted on a cashless basis for the amount in excess of the respective strike price. The MIP Warrants were issued in three tranches, which are exercisable for 2,380,664, 2,467,009, and 3,709,788 shares and have exercise prices of $25.91 (the “$25.91 Warrants”), $28.73 (the “$28.73 Warrants”) and $34.19 (the “$34.19 Warrants”), respectively. The fair value of each warrant upon emergence from bankruptcy was $7.22 for the $25.91 Warrants, $6.63 for the $28.73 Warrants and $5.63 for the $34.19 Warrants. The warrant values were based upon a calculation using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. This model uses inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued when the warrant is exercised, volatility, cost of capital interest rate and expected life of the instrument. The Company has determined that the warrants should be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy by evaluating each input for the Monte Carlo Model against the fair value hierarchy criteria and using the lowest level of input as the basis for the fair value classification. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula used a volatility of 43.91% (representing the six-year volatility of a peer group), a risk-free interest rate of 1.85% and a dividend rate of 0%. The aggregate fair value of these awards upon emergence from bankruptcy was $54,436. The warrants vest 33.33% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, with accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company.

For the period from August 7, 2012 to September 30, 2014, the Successor Company recognized amortization expense of the fair value of these warrants of $5,010 which is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of General, administrative, and management fees.

The following table summarizes all the warrant activity for the period July 9, 2014 to September 30, 2014:

24 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Refer to Note 1 — General Information for information concerning the Chapter 11 Cases.

On March 28, 2014, the Genco Auvergne was arrested due to a disputed claim with the charterer of one of the Company’s other vessels, namely the Genco Ardennes. In order for the Company to release the Genco Auvergne from its arrest, the Company entered into a cash collateralized $900 bank guarantee with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (the “SEB Bank Guarantee”) on April 3, 2014. The vessel has since been released from its arrest and the bank guarantee will remain in an escrow account until the arbitration related to this case is completed. The SEB Bank Guarantee resulted in additional indebtedness by the Company. As the Company was in default under the covenants of its 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on a scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014, on April 3, 2014 the Company received a consent from the lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility to incur this additional indebtedness. Also, under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility for which the Genco Auvergne is collateralized, the Company may not incur additional indebtedness related to its collateralized vessels under this facility. The Company also received a consent from the lenders under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility on April 3, 2014 in order to enter the SEB Bank Guarantee. The $900 to collateralize the bank guarantee has been recorded as Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2014.

From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows besides those noted above.

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 Cargill International S.A., Pacific Basin Chartering Ltd., Swissmarine Services S.A. and the Clipper Logger Pool, in which Clipper Group acts as the pool manager. The majority of the vessels in our current fleet are presently engaged under time charter and spot market-related time charter contracts that expire (assuming the option periods in the time charters are not exercised) between November 2014 and December 2015.

In addition, Baltic Trading’s fleet currently consists of four Capesize, one Ultramax, four Supramax and five Handysize drybulk carriers with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 1,159,000 dwt. After the expected delivery of the three

additional Ultramax newbuilding vessels that Baltic Trading has agreed to acquire, Baltic Trading will own a fleet of 17 drybulk vessels, consisting of four Capesize, four Ultramax, four Supramax and five Handysize drybulk carriers with a total carrying capacity of approximately 1,351,000 dwt.

See pages 51-55 for a table of all vessels that have been or are expected to be delivered to us, including Baltic Trading’s vessels.

On April 21, 2014, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Filing. On July 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order which approved and confirmed the Plan. On the Effective Date of July 9, 2014, the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan, and the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms. Refer to Note 1 in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report for a detailed description of the Plan.

Baltic Trading, formerly our wholly-owned subsidiary, completed its initial public offering, or IPO, on March 15, 2010. On May 28, 2013, Baltic Trading closed an equity offering of 6,419,217 shares of common stock at an offering price of $3.60 per share. Baltic Trading received net proceeds of approximately $21.6 million after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses. Additionally, on September 25, 2013, Baltic Trading closed an equity offering of 13,800,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $4.60 per share. Baltic Trading received net proceeds of approximately $59.5 million after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses. Lastly, on November 18, 2013, Baltic Trading closed an equity offering of 12,650,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $4.60 per share. Baltic Trading received net proceeds of approximately $55.1 million after deducting underwriters’ fees and expenses. As a result of Baltic Trading’s equity offerings completed on May 28, 2013, September 25, 2013 and November 18, 2013, we were issued 128,383, 276,000 and 253,000 shares, respectively, of Class B stock, which represents 2% of the number of common shares issued. As of September 30, 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiary Genco Investments LLC owned 6,356,471 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock, which represents an 11.04% ownership interest in Baltic Trading at September 30, 2014 and 65.06% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Trading’s outstanding shares of voting stock. Baltic Trading is consolidated as we control a majority of the voting interest in Baltic Trading. Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition 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 15 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 is eliminated for financial reporting purposes. Baltic Trading has the right to terminate the Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a Manager Change of Control (as defined in the Management Agreement), without making a termination payment. Some of these have occurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Plan, including the consummation of any transaction that results in (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than Peter Georgiopoulos or any of his affiliates, becoming the beneficial owner of 25% of the Company’s voting securities or (ii) the Company’s stock ceasing to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange or any other internationally recognized stock exchange. Therefore, Baltic Trading may have the right to terminate the Management Agreement, although Baltic Trading may be prevented or delayed from doing so because of the effect of applicable bankruptcy law, including the automatic stay provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and the provisions of the Prepack Plan and the Confirmation Order.

On November 13, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into agreements to purchase up to four 64,000 dwt Ultramax newbuilding drybulk carriers from Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. for a purchase of $28.0 million per vessel, or up to $112.0 million in the aggregate. Baltic Trading has agreed to purchase two such vessels, to be renamed the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and obtained an option to purchase up to two additional such vessels for the same purchase price, which Baltic Trading exercised on January 8, 2014. These vessels are to be renamed the Baltic Mantis and the Baltic Scorpion. The purchases are subject to completion of customary additional documentation and closing conditions. The first of these vessels, the Baltic Hornet, was delivered on October 29, 2014. The Baltic Wasp is expected to be delivered to Baltic Trading during the fourth quarter of 2014. The Baltic Scorpion and the Baltic Mantis are expected to be delivered to Baltic Trading during the second and third quarters of 2015, respectively. Baltic Trading intends to use a combination of cash on hand, future cash flow from operations as well as debt or equity financing, including the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities as described in Note 9 — Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements, to fully finance the acquisition of these four Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels. If Baltic Trading is unable to obtain such debt or equity financing to fund the vessels, it may pursue alternatives, including refinancing its existing indebtedness or dispositions of assets.

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, voyage charters and spot market-related time 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.

We hold an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (“Jinhui”) and Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”). Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping. KLC is a marine transportation service company which operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products.

We provide technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by Maritime Equity Partners LLC (“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 are 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 has the right to cancel provision of services on 60 days’ notice with payment of a one-year termination fee upon a change of our control. We may terminate provision of the services at any time on 60 days’ notice. Peter C. Georgiopoulos, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, controls and has a minority interest in MEP. This arrangement was approved by an independent committee of our Board of Directors.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that the following table reflects important measures for analyzing trends in our results of operations. The table reflects our ownership days, available days, operating days, fleet utilization, TCE rates and daily vessel operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 on a consolidated basis, which includes the operations of Baltic Trading. The period from July 9 to September 30, 2014 (Successor Company) and the period from July 1 to July 9, 2014 and January 1 to July 9, 2014 (Predecessor Company) are distinct reporting periods as a result of our emergence from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014. References in these results of operation and the percentage change combine the Successor Company and Predecessor Company results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 in order to provide comparability of such information to the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.

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.

Table of Contents

(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 between time charters. 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.

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

Voyage revenues (in thousands)	$	47,977	$	58,605	$	162,702	$	143,222
Voyage expenses (in thousands)	2,535		2,212		6,475		6,352
	$	45,442	$	56,393	$	156,227	$	136,870
Total available days	5,904.4		5,706.7		17,461.2		16,812.4
Total TCE rate	$	7,696	$	9,882	$	8,947	$	8,141

(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.

Operating Data

The following tables represent the operating data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 on a consolidated basis, which includes the operations of Baltic Trading. The period from July 9 to September 30, 2014 (Successor Company) and the period from July 1 to July 9, 2014 and January 1 to July 9, 2014 (Predecessor Company) are distinct reporting periods as a result of our emergence from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014. References in these results of operation and the percentage change combine the Successor Company and Predecessor Company results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 in order to provide comparability of such information to the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. We did not compare the share and per share amounts, since the change in our capital structure as a result of the bankruptcy renders these not comparable between the Successor Company and Predecessor Company.

(1) EBITDA represents net (loss) 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. The following table demonstrates our calculation of EBITDA and provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to net (loss) income attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited for each of the periods presented above:

Hire is paid every 15 days in advance net of a 5.00% third-party brokerage commission. This vessel was acquired with an existing time charter with a below-market rate. For the below-market time charter, Genco allocates the purchase price between the vessel and an intangible liability for the value assigned to the below-market charter-hire. This intangible liability is amortized as an increase to voyage revenues over the minimum remaining terms of the applicable charter, at which point the liability will be amortized to zero and the vessel will begin earning the ‘‘Cash Daily Rate.’’ For cash flow purposes, Genco will continue to receive the rate presented in the ‘‘Cash Daily Rate’’ column until the charter expires. Specifically, for the Genco Spirit, the daily amount of amortization associated with the below-market rate is approximately $200 per day over the actual cash rate earned.

Three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, voyage revenues decreased 18.1% to $48.0 million as compared to $58.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in voyage revenues was primarily due to lower spot market rates achieved by the majority of the vessels in our fleet. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenues earned by Baltic Trading’s vessels of $0.9 million due to the increase in the size of Baltic Trading’s fleet partially offset by lower spot market rates achieved by its other vessels.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet decreased 22.1% to $7,696 a day for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $9,882 a day for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in TCE rates was primarily due to lower spot market achieved by the vessels in our fleet partially offset by the operation of two additional Capesize vessels during the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013. During the third quarter of 2014, excess vessel supply continued to weigh on the drybulk market. Lower Brazilian iron ore fixtures than historically observed in the third quarter of each year, a decline in Chinese coal imports due to increased hydro power production, and an increase of Capesize deliveries in September of this year all contributed to a softer freight rate environment. More recently, a relative increase of Brazilian iron ore fixtures since the week of October 20, 2014 has helped support Capesize rates, and the onset of the North American grain season has positively impacted the Panamax sector.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we had 6,072.0 and 5,754.1 ownership days, respectively. The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2013. Fleet utilization decreased to 98.9% during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 99.3% during the same period during 2013 primarily due to additional offhire for our Handymax vessels during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

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 September 30, 2014 and 2013, total service revenue was $0.8 million during both periods.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

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 us. Voyage expenses include port and canal charges, fuel (bunker) expenses and brokerage commissions payable to unaffiliated third parties. Port and canal charges and bunker expenses primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters because these expenses are for the account of the vessel owner. At the inception of a time charter, we record 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 and the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Voyage expenses increased by $0.3 million from $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $2.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase in voyage expenses was primarily due to an increase in bunker consumption during the third quarter of 2014 as there were additional ballast legs of time charters during which we consumed bunkers during the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period last year, as well as an increase in bunkers consumed during drydocking. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters, as well as a decrease in third-party broker commissions as a result of the overall decrease in voyage revenue earned during the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the same period during 2013.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses increased by $2.6 million to $30.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $27.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet as a result of the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2013, as well as higher maintenance related expenses incurred during drydocking for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Daily vessel operating expenses increased to $4,965 per vessel per day for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $4,782 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in daily vessel operating expenses was primarily due to higher maintenance related expenses incurred during drydocking, as well as higher crew costs and purchases of stores. 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. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $325 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $5,290 per vessel per day.

Our vessel operating expenses, which generally represent fixed costs for each vessel, will increase if our fleet expands. 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 September 30, 2014 and 2013, general, administrative and management fees were $21.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher non-cash compensation expenses associated with restricted shares and warrants issued under the MIP. 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. Management fees increased marginally due to the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2014.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $14.7 million to $20.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared $35.2 million during to the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to the revaluation of our vessel assets on the Effective Date as part of fresh-start accounting which resulted in a decrease in vessel assets, vessel equipment recorded as part of other fixed assets and drydocking assets. Additionally, on the Effective Date, we increased the scrap value of our vessels from $245/lwt to $310/lwt which will result in an overall decrease in vessel depreciation expense over the remaining life of the vessels. These decreases were partially offset by the operation of a larger fleet during the third quarter of 2014, including the four Baltic Trading vessels delivered during the second half of 2013.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, other operating income was $0.3 million and $0, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we received the remaining 50%, including interest, of the cash settlement that was originally due from Samsun on December 30, 2012 as included in the rehabilitation plan approved by the South Korean courts during 2010. Refer to Note 21 — Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the settlement payments.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

NET INTEREST EXPENSE-

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, net interest expense was $5.1 million and $23.1 million, respectively. Net interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 consisted of interest expense under our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, Baltic Trading’s $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility”) and the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, which was entered into August 30, 2013. Additionally, interest income, unused commitment fees associated with the aforementioned credit facilities as well as the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the aforementioned credit facilities are included in net interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Net interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014 also includes interest expense related our 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2010 Notes”) up until the Petition Date and for the 2007 Credit Facility until the Effective Date. Lastly, net interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 also includes interest expense under the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, which was entered into on December 3, 2013.

The decrease in net interest expense for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense associated with the 2007 Credit Facility, which was terminated pursuant to the Plan on the Effective Date, and the interest rate swap agreements as three interest rate swap agreements expired during the first quarter of 2014. Additionally, there was a decrease in interest expense related to the 2010 Notes as we ceased accreting the liability related to the 2010 Notes and accruing for the related coupon payment on the Petition Date of April 21, 2014. Refer to Note 9 — Debt, Note 10 — Convertible Senior Notes and Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements in our condensed consolidated financial statements. These decreases were partially offset by the interest expense and the amortization of deferred financing costs recorded during the third quarter of 2014 associated with the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, which were entered into by Baltic Trading effective August 30, 2013 and December 3, 2013, respectively. Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the 2013 10-K for more information regarding the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility.

REORGANIZATION ITEMS, NET-

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, income tax expense was $0.4 million as compared to $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013. 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. Income tax expense decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period during the prior year primarily due to higher commercial service revenue due to Genco (USA) from Baltic Trading pursuant to the Management Agreement primarily as a result of sales and purchase fees for the two Baltic Trading vessels delivered during the third quarter of 2013. This decrease was partially offset by higher charter rates achieved by Baltic Trading’s fleet during the third quarter of 2014, as well as an increase in commercial service revenue and technical management fees earned for the four vessels delivered to Baltic Trading during the second half of 2013.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $4.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively. These amounts represent the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Baltic Trading.

Nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, voyage revenues increased 13.6% to $162.7 million versus $143.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Revenues increased by approximately $19.5 million primarily due to higher charter rates achieved by our Capesize vessels. Included in the increase in voyage revenues was an increase in revenues earned by Baltic Trading’s vessels of $12.4 million due to higher spot market rates achieved by a majority of it vessels, as well as the increase in the size of its fleet.

The average TCE rate of our fleet increased 9.9% to $8,947 a day for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $8,141 a day for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in the TCE rate was due to higher charter rates achieved by our Capesize vessels as well as the operation of the two additional Capesize vessels delivered to Baltic Trading during the fourth quarter of 2013, namely the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we had 18,018.0 and 16,976.1 ownership days, respectively. The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2013. Fleet utilization decreased to 98.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 99.4% during the same period during 2013 due to additional offhire days for our Handymax and Handysize vessels.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, total service revenue was $2.5 million during both periods.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, voyage expenses increased to $6.5 million from $6.4 million, respectively. The $0.1 million increase is primarily due to an increase in broker commissions as a result of an increase in voyage revenue earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period last year. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period last year.

Vessel operating expenses increased by $10.5 million to $91.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $81.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet as a result of the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2013, as well as an increase in crew costs and higher maintenance related expenses incurred during drydocking for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Daily vessel operating expenses increased to $5,101 per vessel per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $4,795 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase was primarily due to our pre-petition expenses related to our Chapter 11 Cases incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as well as an increase in non-cash compensation expense associated with restricted shares and warrants issued under the MIP. 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. Management fees increased marginally due to the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2014.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of funds are operating cash flows, equity financings, issuance of long-term debt securities, and long-term bank borrowings. Our principal use of funds is capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, fund working capital requirements and repayments on outstanding loan facilities. Historically, we had also used funds to pay dividends and to repurchase our common stock from time to time. We have not declared or paid any dividends since the third quarter of 2008 and currently do not plan to resume the payment of dividends. Moreover, pursuant to restrictions under our debt instruments, we are prohibited from paying dividends. Future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our cash flows, cash requirements, financial condition, results of operations, required capital expenditures or reserves, contractual restrictions, provisions of applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

Our historical practice has been to acquire vessels or newbuilding contracts using a combination of issuances of equity securities, bank debt secured by mortgages on our vessels and shares of the common stock of our shipowning subsidiaries, and long-term debt securities.

Our current liquidity needs arise primarily from drydocking for our vessels, and working capital requirements as may be needed to support our business and payments required under our indebtedness. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from

Table of Contents

operations, cash on hand, and the proceeds of the $100 million rights offering that was consummated in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. We believe that internally generated cash flow, cash on hand, and such rights offering proceeds will be sufficient to fund the operations of our fleet, including our working capital requirements, for the next twelve months. We expect that our liquidity needs will continue to arise primarily from capital expenditures for our vessels, working capital requirements as may be needed to support our business and payments required under our indebtedness. Notwithstanding our emergence from bankruptcy, our current and future liquidity will greatly depend upon our operating results. Our ability to continue to meet our liquidity needs is subject to and will be affected by cash utilized in operations, the economic or business environment in which we operate, weakness in shipping industry conditions, the financial condition of our customers, vendors and service providers, our ability to comply with the financial and other covenants of our post-restructuring indebtedness, and other factors. Additionally, the Chapter 11 Cases, including the fact that we have been subject to bankruptcy proceedings, and related matters could negatively impact our financial condition.

Under the collateral maintenance covenants of our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan 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 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the total amount we may borrow), which percentages currently are 135%, 130%, 140%, 130% and 125%, respectively.

On April 16, 2010, Baltic Trading entered into the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility with Nordea Bank Finland plc, acting through its New York branch. 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.

On November 13, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into agreements to purchase up to four 64,000 dwt Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels from Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. for a purchase price of $28.0 million per vessel, or up to $112.0 million in the aggregate. Baltic Trading agreed to purchase two such vessels, to be renamed the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and obtained an option to purchase up to two additional such vessels for the same price, which Baltic Trading exercised on January 8, 2014. These vessels are to be renamed the Baltic Mantis and the Baltic Scorpion. The purchases are subject to completion of customary additional documentation and closing conditions. The first of these vessels, the Baltic Hornet, was delivered on October 29, 2014. The Baltic Wasp is expected to be delivered to Baltic Trading during the fourth quarter of 2014. The Baltic Scorpion and the Baltic Mantis are expected to be delivered to Baltic Trading during the second and third quarters of 2015, respectively. Baltic Trading intends to use a combination of cash on hand, future cash flow from operations as well as debt or equity financing, including the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities as described below and in Note 9 — Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statement, to fully finance the acquisition of these four Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels. If Baltic Trading is unable to obtain such debt or equity financing to fund the vessels, it may pursue alternatives, including refinancing its existing indebtedness or disposition of assets.

On October 8, 2014, Baltic Trading and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Baltic Hornet Limited and Baltic Wasp Limited, each entered into a loan agreement and related documentation for a credit facility in a principal amount of up to $16,800 with ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC and its affiliates (the “2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities”)to partially finance the newbuilding Ultrama vessel that each subsidiary is to acquire, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, respectively. Amounts borrowed may not be reborrowed. The 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities have a ten-year term and is to be repaid in 20 equal consecutive semi-annual installments of 1/24 of the facility amount a balloon payment of 1/6 of the facility amount to be paid at final maturity. Principal repayments will comment six months after the actual delivery date for the vessel and borrowing bear interest at three or six-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regards the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities. On October 24, 2014, Baltic Trading drew down $16,800 for the purchase of the Baltic Hornet, which was delivered on October 29, 2014.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $57.6 million and $24.6 million, respectively. The increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to the loss of $155.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which represents the net of the net loss of $762.0 million and the $917.4 million of non-cash reorganization items and fresh-start accounting adjustments, compared to a net loss of $137.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which was primarily due to pre-petition and post-petition reorganization expenses incurred related to our Chapter 11 Cases during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Deprecation decreased by $11.0 million as a result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting on the Effective Date which required us to revalue our vessel assets at market partially offset by the increase in the size of our fleet due to the delivery of four Baltic Trading vessels during the second half of 2014. Additionally, there was an $8.8 million increase in the amortization of nonvested stock compensation due to the amortization of the MIP Warrants and restricted shares issued after the Effective Date by the Successor Company. Lastly, there was a $10.4 million increase in deferred drydocking costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a total of 21 vessels completed drydocking during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including six of Baltic Trading’s vessels.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $31.4 million and $41.5 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of $30.9 million of vessel asset purchases, including deposits. This consisted primarily of deposits made by Baltic Trading for its four newbuilding Ultramax vessels that it has agreed to acquire. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of the purchase of vessels assets of $41.1 million for the purchase of the Baltic Fox and Baltic Hare, which were delivered to Baltic Trading during the third quarter of 2014.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $72.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $103.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily a result of the $100,000 received from the Rights Offering pursuant to the Plan. This was partially offset by a $10.2 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, a $5.8 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, a $2.1 million repayment of debt under the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, $5.0 million for payments of deferred financing costs, a $1.1 million repayment of debt under the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility as well as a $0.1 million for payment of common stock issuance costs by Baltic Trading. Additionally, there was a $0.4 million settlement payment made to non-accredited 2010 Note holders. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily a result of $81.3 million of net proceeds from common stock issued by Baltic Trading, $22.0 million of proceeds from the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, as well as $1.0 million of proceeds from the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility. Cash dividends paid by our subsidiary, Baltic Trading, to its outside shareholders were $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $0.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Credit Facilities

Refer to the 2013 10-K for a summary and description of our outstanding credit facilities, including the underlying financial and non-financial covenants. On August 29, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into an amendment to the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility. Additionally, on August 30, 2013, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Baltic Trading entered into the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility to fund a portion of the purchase of the Baltic Fox and Baltic Hare and on December 3, 2013, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Baltic Trading entered into the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility to fund or refund a portion of the purchase of the Baltic Tiger and Baltic Lion. Lastly, on October 8, 2014, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Baltic Trading entered into the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities to fund a portion of the purchase of the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp. Refer to Note 9 —Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the terms and fees associated with these agreements.

On July 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order, confirming the Plan. On July 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), we completed our financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan, and the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms

Key components of the Plan regarding the credit facilities and 2010 Notes included:

· The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2007 Credit Facility into 81.1% of the New Genco Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2007 Credit Facility was terminated, and the liens and mortgages thereunder were released. Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheet for further information.

· The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2010 Notes into 8.4% of the New Genco Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged. Refer to Note 10 — Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

As of September 30, 2014, we believe we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Amended and Restated $253 Million Term Loan Facility; the Amended and Restated $100 Million Term Loan Facility; the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, as amended; the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility; and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility.

Convertible Notes Payable

Refer to Note 10 — Convertible Senior Notes of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a summary of the convertible notes payable. On the Effective Date when the Company emerged from Chapter 11, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged.

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

At December 31, 2013, we had four interest rate swap agreements with DnB NOR Bank to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The total notional principal amount of the swaps was $306.2 million and the swaps had specified rates and durations. Notwithstanding the forbearances under the Relief Agreements, the fact that we did not make the scheduled amortization payment under our 2007 Credit Facility on March 31, 2014 constituted an event of default under our currently outstanding interest rate swap.

As of March 31, 2014, we were in default under covenants of our 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on the scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014. The default under the 2007 Credit Facility required us to elect interest periods of only one month; therefore, we no longer qualified for hedge accounting under the original designation and hedge accounting was terminated effective March 31, 2014. Additionally, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Petition Date constituted an event of default with respect to the outstanding interest rate swap with DNB Bank ASA. As a result, DNB Bank ASA terminated all transactions under the remaining swap agreement effective April 30, 2014 and issued a secured claim with the Bankruptcy Court of $5,622. The interest rate swap was settled on the Effective Date upon our emergence from bankruptcy. This liability was paid by the Successor Company during the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014.

Table of Contents

Refer to the table in Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements of our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

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 contracts, 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and their maturity dates as of September 30, 2014. The table incorporates the employment agreement entered into in September 2007 with our Chief Financial Officer, John Wobensmith. The table reflects Baltic Trading’s agreements to acquire four newbuilding Ultramax drybulk vessels from Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. for an aggregate purchase price of $112.0 million. Baltic Trading plans to finance these vessel acquisitions with a combination of cash on hand, future cash flow from operations, as well as debt or equity financing, including the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities, as discussed above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” The interest and borrowing fees and credit agreement payments below reflect the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities, as well as other fees associated with these facilities. The following table also incorporates the future lease payments associated with the lease for our current space and excludes the lease from our former space as we have filed a motion to reject the lease for our former space in the bankruptcy proceedings which was accepted on the Effective Date upon our emergence from Chapter 11. Refer to Note 21 — Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the terms of our two lease agreements.

(2) On October 24, 2014, $16,800 was drawn down from the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities in order to fund the purchase of the Baltic Hornet, which was delivered to Baltic Trading on October 29, 2014.

(3) The timing of this obligation is based on the estimated delivery dates for the Baltic Wasp, Baltic Scorpion and Baltic Mantis. Upon the delivery of the Baltic Hornet on October 29, 2014, the remaining purchase price of $19,600 was paid by Baltic Trading to Yangfan Group Co., Ltd..

Interest expense has been estimated using 0.23% plus the applicable bank margin of 3.50% for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, as amended pursuant to the Plan, 3.00% for the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility and 2.50% for the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities. For the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, interest expense has been estimated using 0.23% plus the applicable margin of 3.35%.

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 13 Handysize drybulk carriers. Baltic Trading’s fleet currently consists of four Capesize drybulk carriers, one Ultramax drybulk carrier, four Supramax drybulk carriers and five Handysize drybulk carriers. After the expected delivery of the remaining three Ultramax vessels that Baltic Trading has agreed to acquire, Baltic Trading’s fleet will consists of four Capesize drybulk carriers, four Ultramax drybulk carriers, four Supramax drybulk carriers and five Handysize drybulk carriers. Baltic Trading intends to use a combination of cash on hand, future cash flow from operations as well as debt or equity financing, including the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities, to fully finance the acquisition of these four Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels.

As previously announced, we have initiated a fuel efficiency upgrade program for certain of our vessels. We believe this program will generate considerable fuel savings going forward and increase the future earnings potential for these vessels. The cost of the upgrades, which will be performed under the planned drydocking schedule, is expected to be approximately $0.3 million for a Supramax vessel and $0.5 million for a Capesize vessel and is included in GS&T and Baltic Trading’s estimated drydocking costs below. We expect these upgrades to be installed on one of GS&T’s Supramax vessels and one of GS&T’s Capesize vessels during the remainder of 2014. Additionally, during 2015, we expect these upgrades to be installed on four of GS&T’s Supramax vessels and two of Baltic Trading’s Capesize vessels. The updgrades have been successfully installed on two of our vessels, the Genco Aquitaine and Genco Ardennes, which completed their planned drydockings during the third quarter of 2014. Additionally, the upgrades have been successfully installed on five of Baltic Trading’s vessels, the Baltic Cougar, the Baltic Panther, the Baltic Leopard, the Baltic Jaguar and the Baltic Wind, which completed their planned drydockings during the first half of 2014.

Genco Shipping & Trading Limited

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, we will incur additional expenditures due to special surveys and drydockings for our fleet. We estimate our drydocking costs, including capitalized costs incurred during drydocking related to vessel assets and vessel equipment, and scheduled off-hire days for our fleet, excluding Baltic Trading’s vessels, through 2015 to be:

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

2014 (October 1- December 31, 2014)	$	4.2	100
2015	$	12.1	300

The costs reflected are estimates based on drydocking our vessels in China. Actual costs will vary based on various factors, including where the drydockings are actually performed. We expect to fund these costs with cash from operations. These costs do not include drydock expense items that are reflected in vessel operating expenses.

We estimate that each drydock will result in 20 days of off-hire. Actual length will vary based on the condition of the vessel, yard schedules and other factors.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred a total of $8.8 million and $1.9 million of drydocking costs, respectively.

Fifteen of our vessels completed their drydockings during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, including the Genco Acheron and Genco Loire, which entered the drydocking yard during the fourth quarter of 2013. We estimate that five of our vessels will be drydocked during the remainder of 2014 and an additional 15 of our vessels will be drydocked during 2015.

Baltic Trading Limited

In addition to acquisitions that Baltic Trading may undertake in future periods, Baltic Trading will incur additional capital expenditures due to special surveys and drydockings for its fleet. We estimate our drydocking costs, including capitalized costs incurred during drydocking related to vessel assets and vessel equipment, and scheduled off-hire days for Baltic Trading’s fleet through 2015 to be:

Table of Contents

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

2014 (October 1- December 31, 2014)	$	—	—
2015	$	4.6	100

We estimate that each drydock will result in 20 days of off-hire. Actual length will vary based on the condition of the vessel, yard schedules and other factors.

Baltic Trading incurred drydocking costs of $3.4 million and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Six of Baltic Trading’s vessels were drydocked during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We estimated that none of our vessels will be drydocked during the remainder of 2014 and five of our vessels will be drydocked during 2015.

Under U.S. Federal law and 33 CFR, Part 151, Subpart D, U.S. approved ballast water treatment systems will be required to be installed in all vessels at the first out of water drydocking after January 1, 2016 if these vessels are to discharge ballast water inside 12 nautical miles of the coast of the United States. Currently, we do not believe there are any ballast water treatment systems that are approved by U.S. authorities; however, an alternative management system (AMS) may be installed in lieu. An AMS is valid for five years from the date of required compliance with ballast water discharge standards, by which time it must be replaced by an approved system unless the AMS itself achieves approval. The cost of these systems will vary based on the size the vessel, and the Company estimates the cost of the systems to be $950 for Capesize, $800 for Panamax, $750 for Supramax, $700 for Handymax and $650 for Handysize vessels. Any newbuilding vessels that we acquire will have an AMS installed when the vessel is being built. The costs of ballast water treatment systems will be capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the life of the vessel, assuming the system the Company installs becomes approved.

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 2013 10-K, with the exception of the accounting policies noted below.

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 July 9, 2014, the Effective Date, we increased the estimated scrap value of the vessels from $245/lwt to $301/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 deprecation charge over the remaining useful life of the vessels. During the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $0.7 million for the Successor Company. 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 in the 2013 10-K. Excluding the three Bourbon vessels we resold immediately upon delivery to MEP

Table of Contents

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 the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, as amended; the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, as amended; the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility; the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility; and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility at September 30, 2014. The first such valuations to be submitted under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities are to be as of December 31, 2013. We obtained valuations for all of the vessels in our fleet, included Baltic Trading, as of July 9, 2014, the Effective Date, when we emerged from bankruptcy. These valuations were utilized when we adopted fresh-start accounting on the Effective Date. For purposes of comparing the carrying value of our vessels with the vessel valuations, we utilized the July 9, 2014 valuations. 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

At September 30, 2014, the vessel valuations of all of our vessels as of the Effective Date of July 9, 2014 were higher than their carrying values at September 30, 2014, as all of the vessels were revalued as of July 9, 2014 using those valuations and depreciated over the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014 for the Successor Company. At December 31, 2013, the vessel valuations of all of our vessels for covenant compliance purposes under our bank credit facilities as of the most recent compliance testing date, with the exception of the Baltic Fox, Baltic Hare and Baltic Lion, were lower than their carrying values at December 31, 2013. For the Genco Ocean, Genco Bay, Genco Avra, Genco Mare and Genco Spirit, the last compliance testing date prior to December 31, 2013 was August 17, 2013 in accordance with the terms of the $100 Million Term Loan Facility; for all other vessels, the compliance testing date used at December 31, 2013 was December 31, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the applicable credit facility.

The amount by which the carrying value at December 31, 2013 of all of the vessels in our fleet, with the exception of the Baltic Fox, Baltic Hare and Baltic Lion, exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $0.3 million to $64.3 million per vessel, and $1,171.3 million on an aggregate fleet basis. The average amount by which the carrying value of our vessels exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes was $18.6 million as of December 31, 2013. 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.

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 four interest rate swap agreements with DnB NOR Bank at December 31, 2013 to manage future interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The total notional principal amount of the swaps was $306.2 million and the swaps have specified rates and durations. Three swaps expired during the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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 December 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2014, we were in default under covenants of our 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on the scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014. The default under the 2007 Credit Facility required us to elect interest periods of only one-month, therefore we no longer qualified for hedge accounting under the original designation and hedge accounting was terminated effective March 31, 2014. Additionally, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Petition Date constituted an event of default with respect to the outstanding interest rate swap with DNB Bank ASA. As a result, DNB Bank ASA terminated all transactions under the remaining swap agreement effective April 30, 2014 and issued a secured claim with the Bankruptcy Court of $5,622. The interest rate swap was settled on the Effective Date upon our emergence from bankruptcy. This liability was paid by the Successor Company during the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014. Refer to Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements for additional information.

The swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2013 synthetically converted variable rate debt to fixed rate debt at the fixed interest rate of the swap plus the applicable margin of 3.00%.

The total liability associated with the swaps at December 31, 2013 was $7.0 million and is presented as Fair value of derivative instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2013, we had accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) of ($7.0) million. The interest rate swap that was terminated April 30, 2014 as mentioned above was not hedged as cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued beginning on March 31, 2013 as a result of the default under the 2007 Credit Facility (see above). Once cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in interest expense and the remaining amounts included in AOCI are amortized to interest expense over the original term of the hedging relationship. Hedge ineffectiveness associated with the interest rate swaps resulted in a minimal amount of other income (expense) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and there was no hedge ineffectiveness during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

We are subject to market risks relating to changes in LIBOR rates because we have significant amounts of floating rate debt outstanding. For the 2007 Credit Facility, which was terminated on the Effective Date pursuant to the Plan, we were subject to a facility fee of 1.0% per annum on the average daily outstanding principal amount of the outstanding loan under the 2007 Credit Facility, as well as LIBOR plus 3.00% on the outstanding debt until the termination date of the facility. Additionally, during the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014, the Effective Date, we paid LIBOR plus 3.00% on the outstanding debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and $253 Million Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to the amendments to these facilities which were effective on the Effective Date of the Plan, the margin was increased from 3.00% to 3.50% for the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014. Additionally, we paid LIBOR plus 3.00% on the outstanding debt under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility as well as three-month LIBOR plus 3.35% on the outstanding debt under the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility. A 1% increase in LIBOR would result in an increase of $7.8 million in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, considering the increase would be only on the unhedged portion of the debt. For any unpaid loan payments due under the $100 Million Term Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility during the bankruptcy period, the Company incurred an additional 2.00% default interest only on the unpaid loan amounts due during the bankruptcy period.

Derivative financial instruments

As of December 31, 2013, we held four interest rate swap agreements with DnB NOR Bank to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The total notional principal amount of the swaps was $306.2 million and the swaps had specified rates and durations. Three swaps expired during the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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 December 31, 2013.

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 September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $0.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The interest rate differential pertaining to the interest rate swaps for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $2.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The Company was 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 until March 31, 2014. The ineffective portion was 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.

As of March 31, 2014, we were in default under covenants of our 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on the scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014. The default under the 2007 Credit Facility required us to elect interest periods of only one-month, therefore we no longer qualified for hedge accounting under the original designation and hedge accounting was terminated effective March 31, 2014. Additionally, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Petition Date constituted an event of default with respect to the outstanding interest rate swap with DNB Bank ASA. As a result, DNB Bank ASA terminated all transactions under the remaining swap agreement effective April 30, 2014 and made a secured claim with the Bankruptcy Court of $5,622. The interest rate swap was settled on the Effective Date upon our emergence from bankruptcy. This liability was paid by the Successor Company during the period from July 9 to September 30, 2014. Refer to Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements for additional information.

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 the “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

At September 30, 2014, we hold investments in Jinhui with a carrying amount of $38.4 million and investments in KLC with a carrying amount of $0.1 million, both of which are classified as available for sale (“AFS”) under Accounting Standards Codification 320-10, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320-10”). These investments are classified as noncurrent assets based on our intent to hold the investment at each reporting date. The investments that are classified as AFS 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. We review 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 our investment in Jinhui and KLC on a quarterly basis to determine the likelihood of any significant adverse effects on the fair value and amount of any impairment. As a result of the adoption of fresh-start accounting on the Effective Date, we revalued these investments so that the new cost basis going forward is the fair market value on the Effective Date with revaluation adjustment being recorded in Reorganization items, net. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we have not deemed our investments to be impaired. In the event we determine that the Jinhui or KLC investment are 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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We commenced the Chapter 11 Cases to implement our restructuring. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of a bankruptcy petition automatically stays certain actions against us, including actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness or to exercise control over the property of our bankruptcy estates. The Plan provided for the treatment of allowed claims against our bankruptcy estates, including pre-petition liabilities. The treatment of such liabilities under the Plan resulted in a material adjustment to our financial statements and has been recorded in Reorganization items, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operation.

On March 28, 2014, the Genco Auvergne was arrested due to a disputed claim with the charterer of one of our other vessels, namely the Genco Ardennes. In order for us to release the Genco Auvergne from its arrest, we entered into a cash collateralized $0.9 million bank guarantee with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (the “SEB Bank Guarantee”) on April 3, 2014. The vessel has since been released from its arrest and the bank guarantee will remain in an escrow account until the arbitration related to this case is completed. The SEB Bank Guarantee resulted in additional indebtedness. As we were in default under the covenants of our 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on a scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014, on April 3, 2014 we received a consent from the lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility to incur this additional indebtedness. Also, under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility for which the Genco Auvergne is collateralized, we may not incur additional indebtedness related to its collateralized vessels under this facility. We also received a consent from the lenders under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility on April 3, 2014 in order to enter the SEB Bank Guarantee.

We have not been involved in any other legal proceedings which we believe are likely to have, or have had a significant effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows, nor are we aware of any proceedings that are pending or threatened which we believe are likely to have a significant effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. We expect that these claims would be covered by insurance, subject to customary deductibles. Those claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
