Genco Shipping & Trading Limited

(U.S. Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share and Share Data)

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“GS&T”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its subsidiary, Baltic Trading Limited (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. GS&T is incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands and as of June 30, 2015, is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries: Genco Ship Management LLC; Genco Investments LLC; Genco RE Investments LLC; and the ship-owning subsidiaries as set forth below.  As of June 30, 2015, Genco Ship Management LLC is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of Genco Management (USA) Limited.  Additionally, as of June 30, 2015, GS&T is the sole owner of Poseidon Merger Sub Limited, a Marshall Islands corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Genco.

 

Bankruptcy Filing

 

On April 21, 2014 (the “Petition Date”), GS&T and its subsidiaries other than Baltic Trading Limited (“Baltic Trading”) 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 “Effective Date”).  Refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended, for further detail regarding the bankruptcy filing.

 

Financial Statement Presentation

 

Upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on July 9, 2014, the Company adopted fresh-start reporting in accordance with provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, “Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”).  Upon adoption of fresh-start reporting, 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 reporting 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 reporting.  As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations subsequent to July 9, 2014 will not be comparable in many respects to our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations prior to July 9, 2014.  References to “Successor Company” refer to the Company after July 9, 2014, after giving effect to the application of fresh-start reporting.  References to “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to July 9, 2014.

 

Merger Agreement with Baltic Trading

 

On April 7, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading under which the Company acquired Baltic Trading in a stock-for-stock transaction (the “Merger”).  Under the terms of the agreement, Baltic Trading became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Baltic Trading shareholders (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) received 0.216 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Baltic Trading’s common stock they owned at closing, with fractional shares settled in cash.  Upon consummation of the transaction on July 17, 2015, the Company’s shareholders owned approximately 84.5% of the combined company, and former Baltic Trading’s shareholders (other than the Company and its subsidiaries) owned approximately 15.5% of the combined company.  Shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B stock (all of which were owned by the Company) were canceled in the Merger.  The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange after consummation of the transaction on July 20, 2015.

Table of Contents

 

The Boards of Directors of both the Company and Baltic Trading established independent special committees to review the transaction and negotiate the terms on behalf of their respective companies.  Both independent special committees unanimously approved the transaction.  The Boards of Directors of both companies approved the Merger by unanimous vote of directors present and voting, with Peter C. Georgiopoulos, Chairman of the Board of each company, recused for the vote.  The Merger was approved on July 17, 2015 at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

 

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the Company currently consolidates the operations of Baltic Trading. The Baltic Trading common shares that the Company will acquire in the Merger are currently recognized as a noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. Under U.S. GAAP, changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary are considered equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners) with any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid attributed to the equity of the parent. Accordingly, any difference between the fair value of the Company’s common shares issued in exchange for Baltic Trading common shares will be reflected as an adjustment to the equity in the Company. No gain or loss will be recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) upon completion of the transaction.

 

Acquisition of Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger

 

Additionally, on April 7, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement under which the Company acquired all of the shares of two single-purpose vessel owning entities that were wholly owned by Baltic Trading, each of which owns one Capesize drybulk vessel, specifically the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger, for an aggregate purchase price of $68,500, subject to reduction for $40,563 of outstanding first-mortgage debt of such single-purpose entities that is to be guaranteed by the Company.  For further details, refer to the “Impairment of vessel assets” Section in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.  These transactions, which closed on April 8, 2015, were accounted for pursuant to accounting guidance under ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, for transactions amongst entities under common control.  Accordingly, the difference between the cash paid to Baltic Trading and the Company’s carrying value of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger as of the closing date of $590 is reflected as an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity during the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The independent special committees of both companies’ Boards of Directors reviewed and approved these transactions.

2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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, 2014, as amended (the “2014 10-K”).  The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 for the Successor Company and Predecessor Company, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

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 Successor Company and the Predecessor Company for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $18,730 and $34,557, respectively.  Depreciation expense for vessels for the Successor Company and the Predecessor Company for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $37,697 and $68,717, 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, 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.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $796 and $1,583, respectively. The decrease in depreciation expense resulted in a $0.01 and $0.02 change to the basic and diluted net loss per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.  The basic and diluted net loss per share would have been ($0.68) and ($1.32) per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, if there were no change in the estimated scrap value.

 

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as income when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had an accrual of $829 and $662, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

Table of Contents

 

Voyage expense recognition

 

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. These differences in bunkers resulted in a net loss (gain) of $1,206 and ($184) during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 for the Successor Company and Predecessor Company, respectively, and $2,660 and ($249) during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 for the Successor Company and Predecessor Company, respectively.  Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement, as well as any adjustments to record fuel inventory at the lower of cost or market at the balance sheet date.

 

Impairment of vessel assets

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Successor Company recorded $0 and $35,396, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360 — “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”).  At March 31, 2015, the Company determined that the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger was more likely than not based on Baltic Trading’s expressed consideration to divest of those vessels.  Therefore, the time utilized to determine the recoverability of the carrying value of the vessel assets was significantly reduced, and after determining that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger would not exceed the carrying value of the respective vessels, the Company reduced the carrying value of each vessel to its estimated fair value, which was determined primarily based on appraisals and third-party broker quotes.  On April 8, 2015, the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger entities were sold to GS&T.  Refer to Note 1 — General Information for details pertaining to the sale of these entities.

 

Loss on disposal of vessels

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Successor Company recorded $1,210 related to the loss on sale of vessels related to the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger entities to GS&T from Baltic Trading on April 8, 2015.

 

Noncontrolling interest

 

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 reflects the noncontrolling interest’s share of the net loss of Baltic Trading, a subsidiary of the Company, which owns and employs drybulk vessels in the spot market, in vessel pools or on spot market-related time charters.  The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages.  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the noncontrolling interest held an 89.15% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 35.40% of the voting power.

 

Income taxes

 

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

 

Total revenue earned by the Successor Company for these services during the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $2,490 of which $1,671 eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,532 associated with these activities for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  This resulted in estimated tax expense of $711 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  Total revenue earned by the Predecessor Company for these services during the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $1,841 of which $1,022 eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $764 associated with these activities for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  This resulted in estimated tax expense of $339 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Total revenue earned by the Successor Company for these services during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $4,680 of which $3,051 eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $2,730 associated with these activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  This resulted in estimated tax expense of $1,229 for the six months ended

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”), which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability.  This guidance is not applicable to revolving debt arrangements. ASU 2015-03 will not change the amortization of debt issuance costs, which will continue to follow the existing accounting guidance. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-03 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 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.

 

On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date.  The FASB also permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016.  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 and make decisions about allocating the Company’s resources.  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 and Baltic Trading seek to deploy their vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market.  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 reporting 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.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of total voyage revenue from external (third party) customers for the Company’s two operating segments to total consolidated voyage revenue from external customers for the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

6 - INVESTMENTS

 

The Company holds 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 that operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products.  These investments are designated as Available For Sale (“AFS”) and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held 16,335,100 shares of Jinhui capital stock which is recorded at its fair value of $25,377 and $26,414, respectively, based on the last closing price during each respective quarter on June 30, 2015 and December 30, 2014, respectively.  At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held 3,355 shares of KLC stock which is recorded at its fair value of $66 and $72, respectively, based on the last closing price during each respective quarter on June 30, 2015 and December 30, 2014.

 

The Company reviews the investment in Jinhui and KLC for impairment on a quarterly basis.  There were no impairment charges recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

The unrealized gain (losses) on the Jinhui capital stock and KLC stock are a component of AOCI since these investments are designated as AFS securities.  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 PER COMMON SHARE

 

The computation of basic net loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted net loss per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards (refer to Note 21 — 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 nonvested shares outstanding at June 30, 2015 (refer to Note 21 — Stock-Based Compensation), all are anti-dilutive.  The Successor Company’s diluted net loss per share will also reflect the assumed conversion of the equity warrants issued on the Effective Date and MIP Warrants issued by the Successor Company (refer to Note 21 — Stock-Based Compensation) if the impact is dilutive under the treasury stock method.  The Predecessor Company’s diluted net loss per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Predecessor 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 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 per share and diluted net loss per share are as follows:

10 — CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

 

The Company issued $125,000 of the 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes on July 27, 2010 (the “2010 Notes”). The Indenture for the 2010 Notes included 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.  On the Effective Date, when the Company emerged from Chapter 11, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged.

11 - INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

 

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement outstanding with DNB Bank ASA to manage interest costs and risk associated with variable interest rates related to the Company’s 2007 Credit Facility.  The notional amount of the swap was $106,233.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in default under covenants of its 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on the schedule debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014.  The default under the 2007 Credit Facility required 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.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the Company did not have any interest rate swap agreements.

 

The differentials to be paid or received for these swap agreements were 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 income (expense).  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 were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in Interest expense and the remaining amounts included in AOCI were 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:

The Company was required to provide collateral in the form of vessel assets to support the interest rate swap agreements, excluding vessel assets of Baltic Trading.  Prior to the termination of the 2007 Credit Facility on the Effective Date, the Company’s 35 vessels mortgaged under the 2007 Credit Facility served as collateral in the aggregate amount of $100,000.

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 and there were no changes to rates pursuant to the April 2015 Amendments.   The fair value of the floating rate debt under the $44 Million Term Loan Facility is based on rates that Baltic Trading initially obtained on the effective date of the facility, and there were no changes to rates pursuant to the Guarantee and Indemnity entered into by the Company during April 2015.  The fair value of the floating rate debt under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is based on rates the Company recently obtained upon the effective date of the facility on April 7, 2015.   The fair value of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities is based on rates that Baltic Trading initially obtained upon the effective dates of these facilities which did not change pursuant to the Amendment and Consent Agreements effective on July 14, 2015. 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.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (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 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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

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.  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 Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Predecessor Company recorded net rent expense of ($28) related to this lease agreement.  Pursuant to the Plan that was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors rejected the 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 remaining term of the lease from the Effective Date to September 30, 2025 is $150.  The Company had a long-term lease obligation at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 of $789 and $390, respectively.  Rent expense pertaining to this lease recorded by the Successor Company and the Predecessor Company for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $452 and $390, respectively, and $904 and $779 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $538 for the remainder of 2015, $1,076 annually for 2016 and 2017, $916 for 2018, $2,230 for 2019 and a total of $13,360 for the remaining term of the lease.

Genco Shipping & Trading — Successor Company

 

2014 Management Incentive Plan

 

On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan, the Company adopted the Genco Shipping & Trading Limited 2014 Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”). 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-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 Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Successor Company recognized amortization expense of the fair value of these warrants of $8,289 and $16,488, respectively, which is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of General, administrative and management fees. Amortization of the unamortized stock-based compensation balance of $24,558 as of June 30, 2015 is expected to be expensed $9,453, $11,496, and $3,609 during the remainder of 2015 and during the years ending December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.  The following table summarizes all the warrant activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

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 was released from escrow to the Company on June 22, 2015 after the arbitration related to this case was 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.

 

In April 2015, six class action complaints were filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, styled Erol Sarikaya v. Peter C. Georgiopoulos et al., Index No. 651244/2015, filed on April 15, 2015, voluntarily dismissed, and refiled as Joshua Bourne v. Peter C. Georgiopoulos et al., Index No. 651429/2015, filed on April 28, 2015, Justin Wilson v. Baltic Trading Ltd., et al., Index No. 651241/2015, filed on April 15, 2015, Sangeetha Ganesan v. Baltic Trading Limited et al., Index No. 651279/2015, filed on April 17, 2015, Edward Braunstein v. Peter C. Georgiopoulos et al., Index No. 651368/2015, filed on April 23, 2015, Larry Williams v. Baltic Trading Ltd., et al., Index No. 651371/2015, filed on April 23, 2015, and Larry Goldstein and Bernhard Stomporowski v. John C. Wobensmith et al., Index No. 651407/2015, filed on April 27, 2015. All six complaints purport to be brought by and on behalf of the Baltic Trading’s shareholders. The plaintiff in each action alleges the proposed merger does not fairly compensate Baltic Trading’s shareholders and undervalues Baltic Trading. Each lawsuit names as defendants some or all of the Company, Baltic Trading, the individual members of Baltic Trading’s board, the Company’s and Baltic Trading’s President, and the Company’s merger subsidiary. The claims generally allege (i) breaches of fiduciary duties of good faith, due care, disclosure to shareholders, and loyalty, including for failing to maximize shareholder value, and (ii) aiding and abetting those breaches. Among other relief, the complaints seek an injunction against the merger, declaratory judgments that the individual defendants breached fiduciary duties, rescission of the merger agreement, and unspecified damages.  On May 26, 2015, the six above described actions were consolidated under the caption In Re Baltic Trading Ltd. Stockholder Litigation, Index No. 651241/2015, and a consolidated class action complaint was filed on June 10, 2015 (the “Consolidated Complaint”).

 

On June 30, 2015, Defendants moved to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint in its entirety; that motion is pending.  On July 9, 2015, plaintiffs in that action moved to enjoin the merger vote, scheduled to take place on July 17, 2015.  The motion was thereafter fully briefed and argued on July 15, 2015.  The motion to enjoin the vote was denied.  Plaintiffs sought an emergency injunction and temporary restraining order from the New York State Appellate Division, First Department the following day, on July 16, 2015.  The Appellate Division denied the request, and the vote, and subsequent merger, proceeded as scheduled on July 17, 2015.  Plaintiffs thereafter withdrew the appeal.

 

Separately, on or around May 12, 2015, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, styled Todd J. Biederman v. Baltic Trading Limited et al., 15-cv-3711 (RJS), seeking relief pursuant to Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and also alleging breaches of fiduciary duties and aiding and abetting those breaches. That complaint alleges facts and seeks relief similar to that in the actions in the New York State Supreme Court, in addition to claims regarding the adequacy of the preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus and Form S-4 disclosures.

 

Based on currently available information, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the loss, if any, in the event of an unfavorable outcome in any of these matters.  However, the Company does not believe that it is probable that the resolution of these matters will have a material financial reporting consequence.

 

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.

ITEM 2.                        MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of potential future events, circumstances or future operating or financial performance.  These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and observations. Included among the factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this report are the following: (i) declines in demand or rates in the drybulk shipping industry; (ii) prolonged weakness in drybulk shipping rates; (iii) changes in the supply of or demand for drybulk products, generally or in particular regions; (iv) changes in the supply of drybulk carriers including newbuilding of vessels or lower than anticipated scrapping of older vessels; (v) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the cargo industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international organizations or by individual countries and actions taken by regulatory authorities; (vi) increases in costs and expenses including but not limited to: crew wages, insurance, provisions, repairs, maintenance and general, administrative and management fee expenses; (vii) whether our insurance arrangements are adequate; (viii) changes in general domestic and international political conditions; (ix) acts of war, terrorism, or piracy; (x) changes in the condition of the our vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking or maintenance and repair costs) and unanticipated drydock expenditures; (xi) our acquisition or disposition of vessels; (xii) the amount of offhire time needed to complete repairs on vessels and the timing and amount of any reimbursement by our insurance carriers for insurance claims, including offhire days; (xiii) the completion of definitive documentation with respect to time charters; (xiv) charterers’ compliance with the terms of their charters in the current market environment; (xv) the fulfillment of the closing conditions under, or the execution of additional documentation for, the Company’s agreements to acquire vessels; (xvi) obtaining, completion of definitive documentation for, and funding of financing for the vessel acquisitions on acceptable terms; (xvii) the ability to realize the expected benefits of the merger to the degree, in the amounts or in the timeframe anticipated; (xviii) the ability to integrate Baltic Trading’s businesses with those of Genco in a timely and cost-efficient manner; (xix) the extent to which our operating results continue to be affected by weakness in market conditions and charter rates; (xx) our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operation, to obtain and maintain acceptable terms with our vendors, customers and service providers and to retain key executives, managers and employees; (xxi) the timing and realization of the recoveries of assets and the payments of claims and the amount of expenses required to recognize such recoveries and reconcile such claims; (xxii) our ability to obtain sufficient and acceptable post-restructuring financing; and other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, our registration statement on Form S-4 filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on May 4, 2015 (as amended), our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (as amended), and our subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Forms 8-K.  Our ability to pay dividends in any period will depend upon various factors, including the limitations under any credit agreements to which we may be a party, applicable provisions of Marshall Islands law and the final determination by the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of our financial performance.  The timing and amount of dividends, if any, could also be affected by factors affecting cash flows, results of operations, required capital expenditures, or reserves.  As a result, the amount of dividends actually paid may vary.  We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Form 10-Q.

 

General

 

We are a Marshall Islands company that transports iron ore, coal, grain, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.  After the merger with Baltic Trading Limited (“Baltic Trading”), our fleet currently consists of 13 Capesize, eight Panamax, three Ultramax, 21 Supramax, six Handymax

 

33



Table of Contents

 

and 18 Handysize drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 5,095,000 dwt, and the average age of our fleet is currently approximately 8.9 years.  After the expected delivery of one additional Ultramax newbuilding vessel that we have agreed to acquire, we will own a fleet of 13 Capesize, eight Panamax, four Ultramax, 21 Supramax, six Handymax and 18 Handysize drybulk carriers with a total carrying capacity of approximately 5,159,000 dwt.  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, spot market-related time charter and vessel pool contracts that expire (assuming the option periods in the time charters are not exercised) between August 2015 and February 2017.

 

See pages 41 - 44 for a table of all vessels that have been or are expected to be delivered to us.

 

On April 7, 2015, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading under which we agreed to acquire Baltic Trading in a stock-for-stock transaction (the “Merger”).  Under the terms of the agreement, Baltic Trading became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and Baltic Trading shareholders (other than GS&T and its subsidiaries) received 0.216 shares of our common stock for each share of Baltic Trading’s common stock they owned at closing, with fractional shares that were settled in cash.  Upon consummation of the transaction on July 17, 2015, our shareholders owned approximately 84.5% of the combined company, and Baltic Trading’s shareholders (other than the GS&T and its subsidiaries) owned approximately 15.5% of the combined company.  Shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B stock (all of which we owned) were canceled in the Merger.  Our stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange after consummation of the transaction on July 20, 2015 under the symbol “GNK.”

 

Our Board of Directors and Baltic Trading’s Board of Directors established independent special committees to review the transaction and negotiate the terms on behalf of their respective companies.  Both independent special committees unanimously approved the transaction.  The Boards of Directors of both companies approved the merger by unanimous vote of directors present and voting, with Peter C. Georgiopoulos, Chairman of the Board of each company, recused for the vote.  The Merger was approved on July 17, 2015 at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

 

Prior to the Merger, as of June 30, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary Genco Investments LLC owned 6,356,471 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock, which represented a 10.85% ownership interest in Baltic Trading and 64.60% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Trading’s outstanding shares of voting stock at June 30, 2015.  Baltic Trading is consolidated as we also controlled a majority of the voting interest in Baltic Trading prior to the Merger. Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition includes the results of Baltic Trading.

 

On April 21, 2014, we 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, we emerged from Chapter 11 through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan, and the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms. Refer to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended, for a detailed description of the Plan.

 

Additionally, on April 7, 2015, we entered into an agreement under which we acquired all of the shares of two single-purpose entities that were wholly owned by Baltic Trading, each of which owns one Capesize drybulk vessel, for an aggregate purchase price of $68.5 million, subject to reduction for $40.6 million of outstanding first-mortgage debt of such single-purpose entities that is to be guaranteed by the Company and an adjustment for the difference between such single-purpose entities’ current assets and total liabilities as of the closing date.  At March 31, 2015, the Company determined that the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger were more likely than not based on Baltic Trading’s expressed consideration to divest of those vessels to increase its liquidity position and strengthen its balance sheet.  Through the transactions, which closed on April 8, 2015, we acquired the vessels known as the Baltic Lion and the Baltic Tiger. The independent special committees of both companies’ Boards of Directors reviewed and approved this transaction.

 

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 will be eliminated for financial reporting purposes.  The Management Agreement was terminated as of July 18, 2015.

 

On April 7, 2015, five of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Genco Commodus Limited, Genco Maximus Limited, Genco Claudius Limited, Genco Hunter Limited and Genco Warrior Limited (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) entered into a loan agreement by and among the Subsidiaries, as borrowers, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, as arranger, facility agent, security agent, and as

lender, providing for a $59.5 million revolving credit facility, with an uncommitted accordion feature that, if exercised, will upsize the facility up to $150.0 million (the “2015 Revolving Credit Facility”).  On April 7, 2015, we entered into a guarantee of the obligations of the Subsidiaries under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, in favor of ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC.  Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are to be secured by liens on each of the Subsidiaries’ respective vessels; specifically, the Genco Commodus, Genco Maximus, Genco Claudius, Genco Hunter and Genco Warrior and other related assets.  Should the accordion feature be exercised, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility will also be secured by up to six additional Capesize vessels and two additional Supramax vessels owned by other subsidiaries of the Company and other related assets.

 

Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility have been used for general corporate purposes including “working capital” (as defined in the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility) and to finance the purchase of drybulk vessels.  The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of April 7, 2020.  Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin based on a combination of utilization levels under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and a security maintenance cover ranging from 3.40% per annum to 4.25% per annum.  The commitment under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is subject to quarterly reductions of $1.6 million to $4.1 million depending on the total amount committed.  Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are subject to 20 equal consecutive quarterly installment repayments commencing three months after the date of the loan agreement, or July 7, 2015.  On April 8, 2015, we drew down $25.0 million on the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility for working capital purposes and to partially fund the purchase of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger from Baltic Trading.  Additionally, on July 10, 2015, we drew down $10.0 million for working capital purposes.

 

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 to Baltic Trading on October 29, 2014.  The Baltic Wasp was delivered to Baltic Trading on January 2, 2015. The Baltic Scorpion was delivered on August 6, 2015 and the Baltic Mantis is expected to be delivered to during the third quarter of 2015. We intend to use a combination of cash on hand, future cash flow from operations as well as debt or equity financing, including the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility as described in Note 9 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, to fully finance the acquisition of the remaining two Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels.

 

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.  Currently, MEP’s payments of management fees due to us under the agency agreement are in arrears in an amount of approximately $1.9 million. We have demanded payment of these fees from MEP, and we are assessing our rights. The matter has been referred to an independent committee of our board of directors, which is overseeing our handling of this matter.

Definitions

 

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

 

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

 

(2) Available days.  We define available days as the number of our ownership days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and the aggregate amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels 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.

(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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 on a consolidated basis for the Successor Company and Predecessor Company, respectively, which includes the operations of Baltic Trading. 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 the 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.  Pursuant to the amendments entered into on April 30, 2015 for our $100 Million Term Loan Facility and our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the definition of Consolidated EBITDA used in the financial covenants has been eliminated.  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:

Three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014

 

VOYAGE REVENUES-

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, voyage revenues decreased 34.5% to $33.8 million as compared to $51.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in voyage revenues was primarily due to lower rates achieved by our vessels.  Included in the decrease in voyage revenues was a decrease in revenues earned by Baltic Trading’s vessels of $3.9 million due to lower rates achieved by its vessels partially offset by the increase in the size of its fleet during the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014.

 

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet decreased 40.1% to $5,065 a day for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $8,452 a day for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in TCE rates resulted from lower spot rates achieved during the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year.  During the second quarter of 2015, excess vessel supply continued to weigh on the drybulk market. Several other factors also contributed towards a weakened rate environment across all vessel classes. Destocking of iron ore inventories at Chinese ports and coal inventories at Chinese power plants, along with seasonally reduced iron ore exports out of Brazil, adversely affected the earnings of Capesize vessels through the majority of the second quarter. Beginning in the middle of June, however, an increase in iron ore fixtures combined with a reduction of available Capesize vessels in the Atlantic has led to substantial increases in the Baltic Dry Index, which reached as high as 1,131 by the end of July.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had 6,118.0 and 6,006.0 ownership days, respectively.  The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, respectively.  Fleet utilization increased to 98.2% from 97.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to additional offhire of 91 days during the three months ended June 30, 2014 for the Genco Reliance.  Total offhire for this claim was 107 days and began on March 18, 2014.  We received

reimbursement from our insurance carrier net of the 14 day deductible during the second quarter of 2015 under our Loss of Hire Policy.

 

SERVICE REVENUES-

 

Service revenues consist of revenues earned from providing technical services to MEP pursuant to the agency agreement between us and MEP.  These services include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services.  The services are provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day.  During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 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, as well as any adjustments to record fuel inventory at the lower of cost or market at the balance sheet date.

 

Voyage expenses increased by $1.8 million from $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $3.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in net bunker losses recorded during the first quarter of 2015 based on the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a result of the decrease in bunker prices.  Additionally, there was an increase in voyage expenses as our bunker inventory was written down to its market value as of June 30, 2015 as well as an increase the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters during the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period last year.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in third-party broker commissions as a result of the decrease in voyage revenue earned during the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014.

 

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

 

Vessel operating expenses decreased by $0.6 million from $30.5 million during the second quarter of 2014 to $29.9 million during the second quarter of 2015.  This decrease was primarily due to lower maintenance related expenses, as well as lower expenses related to spares and stores.

 

Daily vessel operating expenses decreased to $4,836 per vessel per day for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $5,086 per day for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in daily vessel operating expenses was primarily due to lower maintenance related expenses as well as lower expenses related to spares and 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 June 30, 2015 were $484 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $5,320 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 June 30, 2015 and 2014, general, administrative and management fees were $26.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively.  The increase was primarily a result of higher non-cash compensation expenses in the amount of $11.2 million, mainly arising from awards under the MIP, and expenses related to the merger with Baltic Trading in the amount of $6.5 million.  The increase was partially offset by a decrease in expenses related to our restructuring which were incurred during 2014.  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 two Baltic Trading vessels during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

 

We depreciate the cost of our vessels on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of each vessel. Depreciation is based on the cost of the vessel less its estimated residual value. We estimate the useful life of our vessels to be 25 years. On the Effective Date, as part of fresh-start reporting, we revalued our vessels assets which resulted in a decrease in vessels assets, vessel equipment recorded as a component of other fixed assets and drydocking assets. On the Effective Date, we also increased the scrap value of our vessels from $245/lwt to $310/lwt which will result in an overall decrease in vessels depreciation expense over the remaining life of the vessels.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $17.1 million to $19.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $36.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014.  This decrease was due to a revaluation of the vessel assets as well as the change in the scrap value as mentioned above.  These decreases were partially offset by the operation of a larger fleet during the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 due to the delivery of the Baltic Hornet during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the Baltic Wasp during the first quarter of 2015.

 

LOSS ON SALE OF VESSELS -

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a $1.2 million Loss on sale of vessels.  On April 8, 2015, Baltic Trading sold two of its vessels, the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger, to us at a loss of $1.2 million. There was no vessel sales during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

 

NET INTEREST EXPENSE-

 

Net interest expense decreased by $13.8 million from $18.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $4.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015.  Net interest expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of interest expense under our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities and the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.  Net interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of interest expense under the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, as well as interest expense related to our 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2010 Notes”).  The 2007 Credit Facility and 2010 Notes were terminated upon our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date.  The outstanding indebtedness under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was refinanced with the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility on January 7, 2015.  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 June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

The decrease in net interest expense for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees 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 an increase in interest expense related to the Baltic Trading 2014 Term Loan Facilities, which were entered into by Baltic Trading on October 8, 2014, and an increase in interest expense related to the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility which we entered into on April 7, 2015.

 

REORGANIZATION ITEMS, NET

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, reorganization items, net were $0.3 million and $20.1 million, respectively. These reorganization items include trustee fees and professional fees incurred after the Petition Date in relation to the Chapter 11 Cases.  Refer to Note 19 — Reorganization items, net in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, income tax expense was $0.7 million as compared to $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014.  This income tax expense consists primarily of federal, state and local income taxes on net income

earned by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Pursuant to certain agreements, we technically and commercially manage vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provide technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided.  These services are provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.  As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services.  Refer to the “Income taxes” section of Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.  The increase in income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period during the prior year is primarily due to additional income earned by Genco (USA) during the three months ended June 30, 2015.  This was primarily due to the 1% sales fee earned by Genco (USA) from Baltic Trading pursuant to the Management Agreement related to the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger during the second quarter of 2015.  The sales and purchase fees eliminate upon consolidation; however, the fees are included in the net income earned by Genco (USA) and are taxable.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in commercial service revenue due to Genco (USA) from Baltic Trading pursuant to the Management Agreement as a result of lower charter rates achieved by Baltic Trading’s fleet.

 

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $11.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively.  These amounts represent the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Baltic Trading.

 

Six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014

 

VOYAGE REVENUES-

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, voyage revenues decreased 41.3% to $67.4 million as compared to $114.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in voyage revenues was primarily due to lower rates achieved by our vessels.  Included in the decrease in voyage revenues was a decrease in revenues earned by Baltic Trading’s vessels of $10.1 million due to lower rates achieved by its vessels partially offset by the increase in the size of its fleet during the first half of 2015 as compared to the first half of 2014.

 

The average Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate of our fleet decreased 47.6% to $5,021 a day for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $9,586 a day for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The decrease in TCE rates resulted from lower spot rates achieved during the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period last year.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we had 12,306.9 and 11,946.0 ownership days, respectively.  The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, respectively.  Fleet utilization increased marginally to 98.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 98.4% during the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, total service revenue was $1.6 million during both periods.

 

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

 

Voyage expenses increased by $4.2 million from $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $8.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in net bunker losses recorded during the first half of 2015 based on the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a result of the decrease in bunker prices.  Additionally, there was an increase in voyage expenses as our bunker inventory was written down to its market value as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, as well as an increase the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters during the first half of 2015 as compared to the same period last year.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in third-party broker commissions as a result of the decrease in voyage revenue earned during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

 

Vessel operating expenses decreased by $3.2 million from $61.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $58.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015.  This decrease was primarily due to lower maintenance related expenses , as well

as lower expenses related to spares and stores.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the size of Baltic Trading’s fleet due to the delivery of the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp during the fourth quarter of 2014 and first quarter of 2015, respectively.

 

Daily vessel operating expenses decreased to $4,762 per vessel per day for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $5,171 per day for the six months ended June 30 2014.  The decrease in daily vessel operating expenses was primarily due to lower maintenance related expenses, as well as lower expenses related to spares and 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 were $558 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $5,320 per vessel per day.

 

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT FEES-

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, general, administrative and management fees were $46.8 million and $25.2 million, respectively.  The increase was primarily a result of higher non-cash compensation expense in the amount of $22.1 million, mainly arising from awards under the MIP, and expenses related to the merger with Baltic Trading in the amount of $6.5 million.  The increase was partially offset by a decrease in expenses related to our restructuring which were incurred in 2014.  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 two Baltic Trading vessels during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015.

 

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

 

We depreciate the cost of our vessels on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of each vessel. Depreciation is based on the cost of the vessel less its estimated residual value. We estimate the useful life of our vessels to be 25 years. On the Effective Date, as part of fresh-start reporting, we revalued our vessels assets which resulted in a decrease in vessels assets, vessel equipment recorded as a component of other fixed assets and drydocking assets. On the Effective Date, we also increased the scrap value of our vessels from $245/lwt to $310/lwt which will result in an overall decrease in vessels depreciation expense over the remaining life of the vessels.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $33.9 million to $38.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $72.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  This decrease was due to a revaluation of the vessel assets as well as the change in the scrap value as mentioned above.  These decreases were partially offset by the operation of a larger fleet during the first half of 2015 as compared to the first half of 2014 due to the delivery of the Baltic Hornet during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the Baltic Wasp during the first quarter of 2015.

 

IMPAIRMENT OF VESSEL ASSETS -

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded $35.4 million of Impairment of vessel assets.  As of March 31, 2015, the Company determined that the sale of two of Baltic Trading’s vessels, the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger, was more likely than not based on Baltic Trading’s expressed consideration to divest of those vessels.  Therefore, the time utilized to determine the recoverability of the carrying value of the vessel assets was significantly reduced, and after determining that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger would not exceed the carrying value of the respective vessels, the Company reduced the carrying value of each vessel to its fair market value.  For this reason, the Company recorded an impairment charge for these vessels during the first quarter of 2015.  Refer to Note 1 — General information in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. There was no Impairment of vessel assets during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

LOSS ON SALE OF VESSELS -

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a $1.2 million loss on sale of vessels.  On April 8, 2015, Baltic Trading sold two of its vessels, the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger, to us at a loss of $1.2 million. There were no vessel sales during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities.  Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded interest expense for the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility until January 7, 2015 when Baltic Trading refinanced the outstanding indebtedness under this facility with the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility for which we recorded interest expense for the remainder of the six months ended June 30, 2015.  Net interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of interest expense under the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, as well as interest expense related to our 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2010 Notes”).  The 2007 Credit Facility and 2010 Notes were terminated upon our emergence from bankruptcy on the Effective Date.  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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

The decrease in net interest expense for the first half of 2015 as compared to the first half of 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees 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 an increase in interest expense related to the Baltic Trading 2014 Term Loan Facilities, which were entered into by Baltic Trading on October 8, 2014, and an increase in interest expense related to the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility which we entered into on April 7, 2015.  Additionally, there was an increase in unused commitment fees related to the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.

 

REORGANIZATION ITEMS, NET

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, reorganization items, net were $0.8 million and $20.1 million, respectively. These reorganization items include trustee fees and professional fees incurred after the Petition Date in relation to the Chapter 11 Cases.  Refer to Note 19 — Reorganization items, net in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, income tax expense was $1.3 million as compared to $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  This income tax expense consists primarily of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Pursuant to certain agreements, we technically and commercially manage vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provide technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided.  These services are provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.  As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services.  Refer to the “Income taxes” section of Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.  The increase in income tax expense during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period during the prior year is primarily due to additional income earned by Genco (USA) during the six months ended June 30, 2015.  This was primarily due to the 1% sales fee earned by Genco (USA) from Baltic Trading pursuant to the Management Agreement related to the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger during the second quarter of 2015 as well as the 1% purchase fee earned by Genco (USA) from Baltic Trading pursuant to the Management Agreement related to the purchase of the Baltic Wasp during the first quarter of 2015.  The sales and purchase fees eliminate upon consolidation; however, the fees are included in the net income earned by Genco (USA) and are taxable.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in commercial service revenue due to Genco (USA) from Baltic Trading pursuant to the Management Agreement as a result of lower charter rates achieved by Baltic Trading’s fleet.

 

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $52.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively.  These amounts represent the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Baltic Trading.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our principal sources of funds are currently operating cash flows and long-term bank borrowings.  We have also historically used issuances of equity and long-term debt securities as sources of financing and may do so in the future.  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, and fund working capital requirements and repayments on outstanding loan facilities.

 

Our current liquidity needs arise primarily from drydocking for our vessels, the purchase of newbuilding 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 operations, cash on hand (including the proceeds of the $100 million rights offering that was consummated in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases), and credit facility borrowings. Subject to the resolution of the below issues related to our credit facilities, we believe that internally generated cash flow and cash on hand 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. 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.

 

Historically, we have 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 credit facilities, we are currently 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.

 

Given the negative impact of the current weak drybulk rate environment on our earnings, we face potential liquidity and covenant compliance issues. Our credit facilities subsequent to the Merger require us to maintain a minimum cash balance of $51.8 million certain portions of which can be satisfied by undrawn working capital lines. In light of our requirements to fund our ongoing operations and make payments under our credit facilities, our current cash reserves, and current drybulk shipping rates, we believe that without taking measures that are available to us, we may not remain in compliance with our minimum cash covenants under our credit facilities during 2015. To address our compliance, Genco may seek waivers or modifications to our credit agreements, seek to refinance our indebtedness or raise additional capital through debt or equity offerings, sell assets (including vessels), reduce or delay capital expenditures, or pursue other options available to us.

 

In addition, under the collateral maintenance covenants, as amended, of our 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the $44 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities, the aggregate valuations of our vessels pledged under each facility must at least be a certain percentage of loans outstanding , which percentages are currently 140%, 135%, 130%, 140%, 110%, 125% and 125%, respectively.  If this test is not met, we may be required to take certain actions to remedy the shortfall, including pledging of other unencumbered vessels.  See “Critical Accounting Policies — Vessels and Depreciation” below for further details of our vessel valuations.

 

Following the procurement of vessel valuations in February 2015, we did not meet the 130% collateral maintenance test under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility. The actual percentage measured by us was 122.4%, representing an approximate shortfall of approximately $5.2 million.  Under the terms of the credit facility, we must remedy such shortfall within 30 days from the time we are notified by the agent.  We were not notified by the agent to take any actions to remedy this shortfall.  On April 24, 2015, we added one of our unencumbered Handysize vessels, the Genco Sugar, as additional collateral to cover the shortfall and satisfy the collateral maintenance test.  The next date that valuations under this credit facility will be required is on or around August 17, 2015.

 

At June 30, 2015, we did not meet the 135% collateral maintenance test under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility.  The actual percentage measured by us was 129.2% at June 30, 2015, including the additional collateral as described below, and 133.5% on July 9, 2015 following our schedule amortization payment of $5.1 million.  Under the terms of the credit facility, we must remedy such shortfall within 30 days from the time we are requested by the agent.  During July 2015, we added five of our unencumbered vessels, the Genco Thunder, Genco Raptor, Genco Challenger, Genco Reliance and Genco Explorer, as additional collateral under this facility.  We have been in communication with the facility’s agent and prepaid $1.7 million of the outstanding indebtedness on July 29, 2015, which the lenders have agreed will reduce the scheduled amortization payment of $5.1 million that will be due in October 2015.

 

At June 30, 2015, we did not meet the 140% collateral maintenance test under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.  The actual percentage measured by us was 132.0% at June 30, 2015.  Under the credit facility terms then in effect, we were required to remedy such a shortfall within 60 days; however, the collateral maintenance requirement was amended prior to the

expiration of such period such that were in compliance.  See “Amendment and Consent Agreements Related to the Merger” section in Note 9 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  Additionally, during August 2015, we added two of our unencumbered Handysize vessels, the Genco Pioneer and Genco Progress, as additional collateral under this facility.

 

Given the recent downward trend in vessel values, we believe we may not meet the minimum threshold under the collateral maintenance covenant in one or more of our credit facilities when new vessel valuations are required.  To remedy this, we may pledge additional collateral (including vessels), prepay a portion of our indebtedness, seek waivers or modifications to our credit agreements (which may be unavailable or subject to conditions), or take other actions available to us.  If we fail to remedy any shortfall under our collateral maintenance covenants and are found to be in default, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends.

 

As of June 30, 2015, Genco Investments LLC owned 6,356,471 shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock, which represented an 10.85% ownership interest in Baltic Trading and 64.60% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Trading’s outstanding shares of voting stock.  On April 7, 2015, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Baltic Trading (the “Merger”) under which we acquired Baltic Trading in a stock-for-stock transaction.  The Merger was approved on July 17, 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, Baltic Trading became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, and Baltic Trading shareholders (other than GS&T and its subsidiaries) received 0.216 shares of our common stock for each share of Baltic Trading’s common stock they own at closing, with fractional shares to be settled in cash.  Upon consummation of the transaction on July 17, 2015, our shareholders owned approximately 84.5% of the combined company, and Baltic Trading’s shareholders (other than the GS&T and its subsidiaries) own approximately 15.5% of the combined company.  Shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B stock (all of which are owned by us) were canceled in the Merger.  Our stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange after consummation of the transaction on July 20, 2015 under the symbol “GNK.”

 

Our Board of Directors and Baltic Trading’s Board of Directors established independent special committees to review the transaction and negotiate the terms on behalf of their respective companies.  Both independent special committees unanimously approved the transaction.  The Boards of Directors of both companies approved the merger by unanimous vote of directors present and voting, with Peter C. Georgiopoulos, Chairman of the Board of each company, recused for the vote.  The Merger was approved on July 17, 2015 at the Annual Meeting.

 

Additionally, on April 7, 2015, we entered into an agreement under which we acquired all of the shares of two single-purpose entities that were wholly owned by Baltic Trading, each of which owns one Capesize drybulk vessel, for an aggregate purchase price of $68.5 million, subject to reduction for $40.6 million of outstanding first-mortgage debt of such single-purpose entities that is to be guaranteed by us and an adjustment for the difference between such single-purpose entities’ current assets and total liabilities as of the closing date. At March 31, 2015, we determined that the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger were more likely than not based on Baltic Trading’s expressed consideration to divest of those vessels to increase its liquidity position and strengthen its balance sheet.  Through the transactions, which closed on April 8, 2015, we acquired the vessels known as the Baltic Lion and the Baltic Tiger. The independent special committees of both companies’ Boards of Directors reviewed and approved this transaction.

 

On April 7, 2015, five of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Genco Commodus Limited, Genco Maximus Limited, Genco Claudius Limited, Genco Hunter Limited and Genco Warrior Limited (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) entered into a loan agreement by and among the Subsidiaries, as borrowers, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, as arranger, facility agent, security agent, and as lender, providing for a $59.5 million revolving credit facility, with an uncommitted accordion feature that, if exercised, will upsize the facility up to $150.0 million (the “2015 Revolving Credit Facility”).  On April 7, 2015, we entered into a guarantee of the obligations of the Subsidiaries under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, in favor of ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC.  Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are to be secured by liens on each of the Subsidiaries’ respective vessels; specifically, the Genco Commodus, Genco Maximus, Genco Claudius, Genco Hunter and Genco Warrior and other related assets.  Should the accordion feature be exercised, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility will also be secured by up to six additional Capesize vessels and two additional Supramax vessels owned by other subsidiaries of the Company and other related assets.

 

Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility have been used for general corporate purposes including “working capital” (as defined in the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility) and to finance the purchase of drybulk vessels.  The 2015 Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of March 31, 2020.  Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin based on a combination of utilization levels under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility and a security maintenance cover ranging from 3.40% per annum to 4.25% per annum.  The commitment under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility is subject to quarterly reductions of $1.6 million to $4.1 million depending on the total amount committed.  Borrowings under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility are subject to 20 equal consecutive quarterly installment repayments commencing three months after the date of the loan agreement, or July 7, 2015.  On April 8, 2015, we drew down $25.0 million on the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility for working capital purposes and to partially fund the purchase of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger from Baltic Trading.  Additionally, on July 10,

2015, we drew down $10.0 million for working capital purposes.  A commitment fee of 1.5% per annum is payable on the undrawn amount of the maximum loan amount.

 

On April 30, 2015, we entered into agreements to amend or waive certain provisions of the $100 Million Term Loan Agreement and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility.  Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

 

On July 14, 2015, Baltic Trading and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into agreements to amend, provide consents under, or waive certain provisions of the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities and the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.

 

On December 31, 2014, Baltic Trading entered into a $148.0 million senior secured credit facility with Nordea Bank Finland plc, New York Branch (“Nordea”), as Administrative and Security Agent, Nordea and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (Publ) (“SEB”), as Mandated Lead Arrangers, Nordea, as Bookrunner, and the lenders (including Nordea and SEB) party thereto (the “Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility”).  The Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility is comprised of a $115.0 million revolving credit facility and $33.0 million term loan facility.  Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will be used to refinance Baltic Trading’s outstanding indebtedness under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.  Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility may be re-borrowed.  Borrowings under the term loan facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility may be incurred pursuant to two single term loans in an amount of $16.5 million each that will be used to finance, in part, the purchase of two newbuilding Ultramax vessels that Baltic Trading has agreed to acquire, namely the Baltic Scorpion and Baltic Mantis.  Amounts borrowed under the term loan facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Term Loan Facility may not be re-borrowed.

 

The Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2019.  Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.00% per annum.  A commitment fee of 1.2% per annum is payable on the unused daily portion of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, which began accruing on December 31, 2014.  The commitment under the revolving credit facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Term Loan Facility is subject to equal consecutive quarterly reductions of approximately $2.5 million each beginning June 30, 2015 through September 30, 2019.  Borrowings under the term loan facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Term Loan Facility are subject to equal consecutive quarterly installment repayments commencing three months after delivery of the relevant newbuilding Ultramax vessel, each in the amount of 1/60th of the aggregate outstanding term loan.  All remaining amounts outstanding under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Term Loan Facility must be repaid in full on the maturity date, December 31, 2019.  Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.

 

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 $16.8 million with ABN AMRO 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 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 commence 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 regarding the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities. On October 24, 2014, Baltic Trading drew down $16.8 million for the purchase of the Baltic Hornet, which was delivered on October 29, 2014.  On December 30, 2014, Baltic Trading drew down $16.4 million for the purchase of the Baltic Wasp, which was delivered on January 2, 2015.

 

Dividends

 

We are currently prohibited from paying dividends under certain of our facilities, the longest restriction of which is in effect until March 31, 2017.  Following March 31, 2017, the amount of dividends we may pay is limited based on the amount of the loan outstanding under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility. Moreover, we would make dividend payments to our shareholders only if our Board of Directors, acting in its sole discretion, determines that such payments would be in our best interest and in compliance with relevant legal and contractual requirements. The principal business factors that our Board of Directors would consider when determining the timing and amount of dividend payments would be our earnings, financial condition and cash requirements at the time. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends other than from surplus. Marshall Islands law also prohibits the declaration and payment of dividends while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend.

 

Cash Flow

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $29.8 million and $23.1 million, respectively. Excluding the non-cash impairment of vessel assets of $35.4 million and non-cash loss on the disposal of vessels of $0.9 million, we recorded a net loss in the amount of $94.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to a net loss of $107.8

million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.  The increase in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $33.9 million as a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting 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 two Baltic Trading vessels during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. Additionally, the fluctuation in accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $7.0 million due to restructuring related expenses incurred during the first half of 2014.  There was also a decrease in the amortization of deferred financing costs of $3.2 million and a decrease in the amortization of the discount on the Convertible Senior Notes of $1.6 million due to the termination of the 2007 Credit Facility and the 2010 Notes on the Effective Date. These decreases in net cash used in operating activities were partially offset by a $22.1 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.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $5.4 million and $30.3 million, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted primarily of $24.7 million of vessel asset purchases, including deposits. This consisted primarily of deposits made by Baltic Trading for its three remaining newbuilding vessels that it has agreed to acquire, one of which was delivered during the first quarter of 2015.  Additionally, there was a $19.8 million fluctuation of the change in deposits of restricted cash primarily related to the $19.6 million of restricted cash that was held in an escrow account as of December 31, 2014 for the purchase of the Baltic Wasp which was released to the shipyard upon the vessel delivery on January 2, 2015.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of $29.8 million of vessel asset purchases, including deposits which consisted primarily of deposits made by Baltic Trading for the four newbuilding vessels that it has agreed to acquire which were not yet delivered as of June 30, 2014.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $11.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted primarily of $115.0 million of proceeds from the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility and $25.0 million of proceeds from the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility partially offset by the following: $102.3 million repayment of debt under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, $10.2 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $3.8 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $1.4 million repayment of debt under the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, $2.4 million repayment of debt under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, $0.8 million repayment of debt under the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, $0.7 million repayment of debt under the Baltic Trading 2014 Term Loan Facilities, $4.3 million payment of deferred financing costs and $0.7 million cash settlement paid to non-accredited 2010 Note holders.

There were no dividends paid by Baltic Trading during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Credit Facilities

 

Refer to the 2014 10-K, as amended, for a summary and description of our outstanding credit facilities, including the underlying financial and non-financial covenants.  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. Additionally, on December 31, 2014, Baltic Trading entered into the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility which is comprised of a $115.0 million revolving credit facility and $33.0 million term loan facility to fund or refund a portion of the purchase of the Baltic Scorpion and Baltic Mantis. Borrowings under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility were used to refinance Baltic Trading’s indebtedness under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.  On April 7, 2015, five of our wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into 2015 Revolving Credit Facility which provides for a $59.5 million revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that, if exercised, will upsize the facility up to $150.0 million. On April 30, 2015, we entered into agreements to amend or waive certain provisions of the $100 Million Term Loan Agreement and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility. Lastly, on July 14, 2015, Baltic Trading and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries entered into agreements to amend, provide consents under, or waive certain provisions of the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities and the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.  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 the 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.

 

·                  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 in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

As of June 30, 2015, we believe we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility; the $100 Million Term Loan Facility; the $44 Million Term Loan Facility; the2015 Revolving Credit Facility; the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility; the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities.

 

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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not have any interest rate swap agreements.  As part of our business strategy, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates.  In determining the fair value of interest rate derivatives, we would consider the creditworthiness of both the counterparty and ourselves immaterial. Valuations prior to any adjustments for credit risk would be validated by comparison with counterparty valuations.  Amounts would not and should not be identical due to the different modeling assumptions.  Any material differences would be investigated.

 

Refer to Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which discusses the interest rate swap agreement that were in place prior to the Effective Date.

 

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 June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and their maturity dates as of June 30, 2015.  The table incorporates the employment agreement entered into in September 2007 with our President, John Wobensmith.  The table reflects the agreements to acquire the remaining newbuilding Ultramax drybulk vessel from Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. for an aggregate purchase price of $28.0 million.  We plan to finance the remaining vessel acquisition with a combination of cash on hand, future cash flow from operations, as well as debt or equity financing, including the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility 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, the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities and the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, as well as other fees associated with the facilities.  The interest and borrowing fees below also include the $0.2 million of

(1)         Represents the six-month period ending December 31, 2015.

(2)         On August 3, 2015, $16.5 million was drawn down on the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility in order to fund the purchase of the Baltic Scorpion, which was delivered on August 6, 2015.  As such, it is included in the total contractual obligation for credit agreement payments.

(3)         The timing of this obligation is based on the estimated delivery dates for the Baltic Mantis.  Upon the delivery of the Baltic Scorpion on August 6, 2015, the remaining purchase price of $19.6 million was paid to Yangfan Group Co., Ltd., of which $3.1 million has been included in the table above as the $16.5 million draw down is included in the total contractual obligation for credit agreement payments.

 

Interest expense has been estimated using 0.30% plus the applicable margin of 3.50% for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and 3.40% for the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility.  For the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the $44 Million Term Loan Facility, interest expense has been estimated using 0.30% plus the applicable margin of 3.35%.  Interest expense has been estimated using 0.30% plus the applicable margin for the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility and for the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities of 3.00% and 2.50%, respectively.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with our vessel acquisitions.  Including Baltic Trading’s vessels after the Merger, our fleet currently consists of 13 Capesize drybulk carriers, eight Panamax drybulk carriers, three Ultramax drybulk carriers, 21 Supramax drybulk carriers, six Handymax drybulk carriers and 18 Handysize drybulk carriers.  After the expected delivery of the remaining one Ultramax vessels that we have agreed to acquire, our fleet will consists of 13 Capesize drybulk carriers, eight Panamax drybulk carriers, four Ultramax drybulk carriers, 21 Supramax drybulk carriers, six Handymax drybulk carriers and 18 Handysize drybulk carriers. We intend to use a combination of cash on hand, future cash flow from operations as well as debt or equity financing, including the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, to fully finance the acquisition of the remaining Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessel.

 

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 our estimated drydocking costs below. Additionally, during the remainder of 2015, we expect these upgrades to be installed on two of our Supramax vessels and one of our Capesize vessels. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the upgrades have been successfully installed on four of our vessels, the Genco Bourgogne, Genco Brittany, Genco Languedoc and Baltic Bear.  Additionally, the upgrades have been successfully installed on four of our vessels, the Genco Aquitaine, Genco Ardennes, Genco Auvergne and Genco Titus, which completed their planned drydockings during the third and fourth quarter of 2014. Lastly, the upgrades have been successfully installed on five of our 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.

 

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.  For example, in

 

55



Table of Contents

 

February 2015, the USCG added Bawat to the list of ballast water treatment systems that received AMS acceptance.  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 of the vessel, and the Company estimates the cost of the systems to be $1.0 million for Capesize, $0.8 million for Panamax, $0.8 million for Supramax, $0.7 million for Handymax and $0.7 million 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. These amounts would be in addition to the amounts budgeted for drydocking below.

 

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 through 2016 to be:

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, including the write-off of any steel that is replaced during drydocking.  Additionally, these costs do not include the cost of ballast water treatment systems as noted above.

 

Actual length of drydocking will vary based on the condition of the vessel, yard schedules and other factors.  Higher repairs and maintenance expense during drydocking for vessels which are over 15 years old typically result in a higher number of off-hire days depending on the condition of the vessel.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we incurred a total of $7.3 million and $9.3 million of drydocking costs, respectively, excluding costs incurred during drydocking that were capitalized to vessel assets or vessel equipment.

 

Eleven of our vessels completed their drydockings during the six months ended June 30, 2015, including the Genco Bourgogne, which entered the drydocking yard during the fourth quarter of 2014.  Additionally, the Genco Success, Genco Surprise and Genco Pyrenees entered the drydocking yard during the second quarter of 2015, but did not complete its drydocking until the third quarter of 2015. We estimate that 12 of our vessels will be drydocked during the remainder of 2015 (including the Genco Success, Genco Surprise and Genco Pyrenees) and an additional 10 of our vessels will be drydocked during 2016.

 

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 2014 10-K, as amended.

 

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 $310/lwt prospectively based on the 15-year average scrap value of steel.  This increase in the residual value of the vessels will decrease the annual depreciation charge over the remaining useful life of the vessels.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation

 

56



Table of Contents

 

expense of approximately $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, 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 2014 10-K, as amended.  Excluding the three Bourbon vessels we resold immediately upon delivery to MEP at our cost, we have sold three of our vessels since our inception and realized a profit in each instance.  However, we did determine to cancel an acquisition of six drybulk newbuildings in November 2008, incurring a $53.8 million loss from the forfeiture of our deposit and related interest.  At March 31, 2015, we determined that the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger was probable based on Baltic Trading’s expressed consideration to divest of those vessels to increase its liquidity position and strengthen our balance sheet.  Therefore, the time utilized to determine the recoverability of the carrying value of the vessel assets was significantly reduced, and after determining that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger would not exceed the carrying value of the respective vessels, the Company reduced the carrying value of each vessel to its fair market value.  On April 7, 2015, we entered into an agreement with Baltic Trading to purchase the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger for an aggregate purchase price of $68.5 million, not including commission, which closed on April 8, 2015.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we have recorded an impairment loss related to these vessel assets of $35.4 million as it was determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to these vessels would not exceed the carrying value and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we have recorded a loss on disposal of vessels of $1.2 million.  Refer to Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

 

Pursuant to our bank credit facilities, we regularly submit to the lenders valuations of our vessels on an individual charter free basis in order to evidence our compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants under our bank credit facilities.  Such a valuation is not necessarily the same as the amount any vessel may bring upon sale, which may be more or less, and should not be relied upon as such.  We were in compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants under our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, as amended; the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, as amended; the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility; the $44 Million Term Loan Facility; the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility; the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility; and the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities at June 30, 2015.  Refer to Note 9 — Debt in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of any remedies that were taken to resolve any collateral maintenance requirements that were originally not met as of June 30, 2015.  We obtained valuations for all of the vessels in our fleet, including Baltic Trading, on or around June 30, 2015 pursuant to the terms of the credit facilities, with the exception of the $100 Million Term Loan Facility which we utilized the February 4, 2015 valuations pursuant to the terms of the credit facility.  In the chart below, we list each of our vessels, the year it was built, the year we acquired it, and its carrying value at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

At June 30, 2015, 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 Lion and Genco Tiger, were lower than their carrying values at June 30, 2015.  At December 31, 2014, 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 Genco Avra, Genco Mare and Genco Spirit, were lower than their carrying values at December 31, 2014.  For the Genco Ocean, Genco Bay, Genco Avra, Genco Mare, Genco Spirit and Genco Sugar (which was added as additional collateral under this facility effective April 24, 2015), the last compliance testing date prior to June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was February 4, 2015 and August 18, 2014, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the $100 Million Term Loan Facility; for all other vessels, the compliance testing date was June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the applicable credit facility.

 

The amount by which the carrying value at June 30, 2015 of all of the vessels in our fleet, with the exception of the Baltic Lion and Genco Tiger, exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $2.1 million to $17.6 million per vessel, and $532.2 million on an aggregate fleet basis.  The amount by which the carrying value at December 31, 2014 of all of the vessels in our fleet, with the exception of the Genco Avra, Genco Mare and Genco Spirit, exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $0.1 million to $8.2 million per vessel, and $246.6 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 $8.1 million at June 30, 2015 and $3.9 million as of December 31, 2014.  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.

If we were to sell a vessel or hold a vessel for sale, and the carrying value of the vessel were to exceed its fair market value, we would record a loss in the amount of the difference.  Refer above for information regarding the sale of the Baltic Lion and Baltic Tiger.

 

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.  Prior to the filing of our Chapter 11 cases on the Petition Date, on March 31, 2014, we held one interest rate swap agreement with DnB Bank ASA to manage future interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates.  The swap agreement 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 notional principal amount of the remaining swap was $106.2 million and the swap had a specified rate and duration.  As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no interest rate swap agreements in place.  Refer to the table in Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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 $5.6 million. 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 December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

 

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, 2014 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 were amortized to interest expense over the original term of the hedging relationship. There was no hedge ineffectiveness associated with the interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 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 1.00% per annum on the average daily outstanding principal amount of the outstanding loan under the 2007 Credit Facility and we paid LIBOR plus 3.00% on the outstanding debt under this facility prior to its termination.  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% effective July 9, 2014.  We paid LIBOR plus 3.40% on the outstanding debt under the 2015 Revolving Credit Facility.  We also paid LIBOR plus 3.00% on the outstanding debt under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility until January 7, 2015 when the facility was refinanced with the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.  Beginning on July 7, 2015, we paid LIBOR plus 3.00% on the outstanding debt under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility as well.  Additionally, we paid the three-month LIBOR plus 3.35% on the outstanding debt under the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the $44 Million Term Loan Facility. Lastly, we paid three-month LIBOR plus 2.50% on the outstanding debt under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities. A 1% increase in LIBOR would result in an increase of $2.1 million in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015. For any unpaid loan payments due under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility during the bankruptcy period in 2014, we incurred an additional 2.00% default interest only on the unpaid loan amounts due during the bankruptcy period.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

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 $5.6 million. 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 December 31, 2014. Refer to Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we did not have any interest rate swap agreements to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates.

 

The differential to be paid or received for the swap agreements that we previously had were recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred.  The interest rate differential pertaining to the interest rate swaps for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.4 million and $1.8 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.  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.

 

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

 

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

 

Currency and exchange rates risk

 

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

Table of Contents

 

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

 

Investments

 

We hold investments in equity securities of Jinhui, which are classified as available for sale (“AFS”) under Accounting Standards Codification 320-10, “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC 320-10”).  Pursuant to guidance in ASC 320-10, changes between our cost basis in these securities and their market value are recognized as an adjustment to their carrying values with an offsetting adjustment to AOCI at each reporting date.  As of June 30, 2015, our cost basis in these equity securities of Jinhui was $51.7 million and their carrying value was $25.4 million, which we believe did not constitute an other-than-temporary impairment as of this date.  Accordingly, the difference between our cost basis in these securities and their carrying value is classified within AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2015.  In the event we determine that the Jinhui investment is subject to an other-than-temporary impairment or upon any sale of Jinhui shares, a loss corresponding to the amount of the impairment or the amount of any gain or loss from a sale would be reclassified from AOCI and recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

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

 

The information set forth in Note 22 — Legal Proceedings in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above is incorporated herein by reference.

 

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.
