(1) Delivery dates for vessels being delivered in the future are estimates based on guidance received from the sellers.

The Company provides technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by Maritime Equity Partners LLC (“MEP”). Peter C. Georgiopoulos, Chairman of the Board of Directors of GS&T, controls and has a minority interest in 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.  MEP has the right to cancel provision of the services on 60 days’ notice with payment of a one-year termination fee upon a change in control of the Company.  The Company may terminate provision of the services at any time on 60 days’ notice.
 
Given the current drybulk rate environment, it is probable that the Company will be unable to make required payments under its credit facilities commencing during the quarter ending March 31, 2014 without modifications to or waivers of the terms of these facilities.  Moreover, once current waivers expire and are re-measured at March 31, 2014, the Company believes it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio covenants and the minimum permitted consolidated interest ratio covenants under its credit facilities.  The Company is also subject to minimum cash covenants for which compliance is measured at the end of every fiscal quarter.  These minimum cash covenants have not been waived, and the Company believes it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with such covenants at or after March 31, 2014, and the Company may not be in compliance earlier in the event of sustained weakness in the drybulk shipping sector.  The Company’s debt facilities are described further in Note 9 — Debt.

The Company is in discussions with its lenders and expects to seek waivers or modifications to its credit agreements, which, if available, may be subject to conditions, and may also seek to refinance indebtedness, raise additional capital through equity or debt offerings or selling assets (including vessels), reduce or delay capital expenditures, or pursue other restructuring options.  Absent such waivers or modifications, if the Company does not comply with such payment obligations or these covenants and fails to cure such non-compliance following applicable notice and expiration of applicable cure periods, the Company would be in default of one or more of its credit facilities. If such a default occurs, the Company may also be in default under the Indenture for the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes, or the 2010 Notes (discussed in Note 10 — Convertible Senior Notes). As a result, some or all of the Company’s indebtedness could be declared immediately due and payable, and alternative sources of financing would need to be sought on terms that may not be favorable to the Company.

In addition, notwithstanding the waiver of certain covenants as described above, for purposes of preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the Company is required to assess future compliance with the original covenants at all quarterly measurement dates within twelve months from the date of such financial statements. The Company believes it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with certain covenants at measurement dates within twelve months of March 31, 2013.  Accordingly, the outstanding debt under the 2007 Credit Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility (as defined in Note 9 — Debt) was reclassified as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet beginning March 31, 2013 and remained classified as a current liability as of September 30, 2013.  This reclassification does not affect the existing waivers, although there can be no assurance that the Company could obtain further waivers upon their expiration.  If the Company fails to comply with its covenants under its credit facilities, the Company may also be in default under the Indenture for the 2010 Notes and its interest rate swaps.  Accordingly, the 2010 Notes and one swap previously classified as a long-term liability were likewise reclassified as current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet beginning March 31, 2013 and remained classified as a current liability as of September 30, 2013.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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, 2012 (the “2012 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 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 three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $33,591 and $33,462, respectively.  Depreciation expense for vessels for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $99,432 and $99,646, 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 estimated scrap value of $245/lwt multiplied by the weight of the ship in lightweight tons (lwt).

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as revenue when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had an accrual of $323 and $407, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

Voyage expense recognition

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crew, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. These differences in bunkers resulted in net (losses) gains of ($296) and $242 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $47 and $1,665 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Noncontrolling interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 reflects the noncontrolling interest’s share of the net loss of Baltic Trading, a subsidiary of the Company, which owns and employs drybulk vessels in the spot market or on spot market-related time charters.  The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages.  At September 30, 2013, the noncontrolling interest held an 86.03% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 29.10% of the voting power.  At December 31, 2012, the noncontrolling interest held a 75.22% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 16.83% 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 revenues earned for these services during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $2,010 and $1,530, respectively, of which $772 and $703, respectively, was eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,045 associated with these activities for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This resulted in estimated income tax expense of $471 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $664 associated with these activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  This resulted in income tax expense of $299 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Total revenues earned for these services during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5,015 and $4,575, respectively, of which $2,148 and $2,109, respectively, was eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $2,262 associated with these activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  This resulted in estimated income tax expense of $975 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,985 associated with these activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This resulted in income tax expense of $892 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Baltic Trading is subject to income tax on its United States source income.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Baltic Trading had United States operations which resulted in United States source income of $420 and $200, respectively.  Baltic Trading’s United States income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $8 and $4, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Baltic Trading had United States operations which resulted in United States source income of $1,059 and $1,321, respectively.  Baltic Trading’s United States income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $22 and $26, respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”), to improve the transparency of changes in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and items reclassified out of accumulated other income (loss) (“AOCI”).  The amendments in ASU 2013-02 are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2013-02 will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than separately disclosing in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements amounts reclassified out of AOCI and the individual line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations that are affected.  The Company has adopted ASU 2013-02 and the impact of adoption is not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  Refer to Note 12 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for additional disclosure.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
SEGMENT INFORMATION
3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance.  Based on this information, the Company has two operating segments, GS&T and Baltic Trading.  Both GS&T and Baltic Trading are engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.  GS&T seeks to deploy its vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market and Baltic Trading seeks to deploy its vessel charters in the spot market, which represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages, or employing vessels on spot market-related time charters.  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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Refer to Note 12 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for a breakdown of the components of AOCI.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
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 20 — Nonvested Stock Awards), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.  Of the 1,217,896 nonvested shares outstanding at September 30, 2013 (refer to Note 20 — Nonvested Stock Awards), all are anti-dilutive.  The Company’s diluted net loss per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Company’s convertible debt if the impact is dilutive under the “if converted” method. The impact of the shares convertible under the Company’s convertible notes is excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

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

2007 Credit Facility

On July 20, 2007, the Company entered into a credit facility with DnB NOR Bank ASA (as amended, the “2007 Credit Facility”). The maximum amount that may be borrowed under the 2007 Credit Facility at September 30, 2013 is $1,055,912.  As of September 30, 2013, the Company has utilized its maximum borrowing capacity under the 2007 Credit Facility.
 
The maximum leverage ratio covenant and minimum permitted consolidated interest ratio covenants are currently waived for the periods ending on and including December 31, 2013 pursuant to the August 1, 2012 agreements to amend or waive certain provisions of the agreements for the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility (as defined below) (the “August 2012 Agreements”).  Additionally, the collateral maintenance financial covenant is currently waived until the Company can represent that it is in compliance with all of its financial covenants.  The Company’s cash dividends and share repurchases have been suspended until the collateral maintenance financial covenant can be satisfied.

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

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

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

As of September 30, 2013, the Company believes it is in compliance with all of the financial covenants under its 2007 Credit Facility, as amended.  However, as of September 30, 2013, the Company believes it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with certain covenants at measurement dates within the next twelve months.  As such, the debt outstanding under this facility of $1,055,912 was classified as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet beginning March 31, 2013 and remained classified as a current liability as of  September 30, 2013.

On April 16, 2010, Baltic Trading entered into a $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with Nordea Bank Finland plc, acting through its New York branch (as amended, the “2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility”).  An amendment to the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was entered into by Baltic Trading effective November 30, 2010.  Among other things, this amendment increased the commitment amount of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility from $100,000 to $150,000.  An additional amendment to the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was entered into by Baltic Trading effective August 29, 2013 (the “August 2013 Amendment”).  Among other things, the August 2013 Amendment implemented the following modifications to the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility:

·The requirement that certain additional vessels acquired by Baltic Trading be mortgages as collateral under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was eliminated.

·Restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness by Baltic Trading and its subsidiaries were amended to apply only to those subsidiaries acting as guarantors under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.

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

·Borrowings bear interest at an applicable margin over LIBOR of 3.00% per annum if the ratio of the maximum facility amount of the aggregate appraised value of vessels mortgaged under the facility is 55% or less, measured quarterly; otherwise, the applicable margin is 3.35% per annum.

·Financial covenants corresponding to the liquidity and leverage under the 2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility (as defined below) have been incorporated into the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.

As of September 30, 2013, $7,750 remained available under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility as the total commitment was reduced to $110,000 on August 29, 2013.  The total available working capital borrowings of $25,000 are subject to the total remaining availability under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility; therefore, only $7,750 is available for working capital purposes as of September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company believes Baltic Trading is in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, as amended.

2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility

On August 30, 2013, Baltic Hare Limited and Baltic Fox Limited, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Baltic Trading, entered into a secured loan agreement with DVB Bank SE for a term loan facility of up to $22,000 (the “2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility”).  Amounts borrowed and repaid under the 2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility may not be reborrowed.  This facility has a maturity date of the sixth anniversary of the drawdown date for borrowings for the second vessel to be purchased, or September 4, 2019.  Borrowings under the 2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 3.35% per annum.  A commitment fee of 1.00% is payable on the unused daily portion of the credit facility, which began accruing on August 30, 2013 and ended on September 4, 2013, the date which the entire $22,000 was borrowed.  Borrowings are to be repaid in 23 quarterly installments of $375 each commencing three months after the last vessel delivery date, or December 4, 2013, and a final payment of $13,375 due on the maturity date.  Amounts repaid under the 2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility may not be reborrowed.
 
Borrowings under the 2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility are secured by liens on Baltic Trading’s vessels purchased with borrowings under the facility, namely the Baltic Fox and the Baltic Hare, and other related assets.  Under a Guarantee and Indemnity entered into concurrently with the 2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, Baltic Trading agreed to guarantee the obligations of its subsidiaries under the 2013 Credit Facility.

The 2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility also requires Baltic Trading, Baltic Hare Limited and Baltic Fox Limited to comply with a number of covenants, including financial covenants related to liquidity, leverage, consolidated net worth, and collateral maintenance; delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and annual projections; maintaining adequate insurances; compliance with laws (including environmental); maintenance of flag and class of the initial vessels; restrictions on consolidations, mergers or sales of assets; limitations on changes in the manager of Baltic Trading’s vessels; limitations on changes to the Management Agreement; limitations on liens and additional indebtedness; prohibitions on paying dividends if an event of default has occurred or would occur as a result of payment of a dividend; restrictions on transactions with affiliates; and other customary covenants. The liquidity covenants under the facility require Baltic Hare Limited and Baltic Fox Limited to maintain $500 in its earnings account and Baltic Trading to maintain $750 per vessel in its fleet in cash or cash equivalents plus undrawn working capital lines of credit. The facility’s leverage covenant requires that the ratio of Baltic Trading’s total financial indebtedness to the value of its total assets as adjusted based on vessel appraisals not exceed 70%. The facility also requires that Baltic Trading maintains a minimum consolidated net worth of $232,796 plus fifty percent of the value of Baltic Trading’s equity offering completed on or after May 28, 2013. The facility’s collateral maintenance covenant requires that the minimum fair market value of vessels mortgaged under the facility be 130% of the amount outstanding under the facility through August 30, 2016 and 135% of such amount thereafter.

The fair value of the floating rate debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and $253 Million Term Loan Facility are based on management’s estimate utilizing rates the Company believes it would be able to obtain for these credit facilities.  However, a portion of the floating rate debt in the 2007 Credit Facility was traded in a private transaction for an amount that is not determinable by the Company, which management believes was lower than the debt’s current carrying value.  The fair value of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility and the 2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility is based on management’s estimates of rates it has recently obtained pursuant to the amendment to the existing 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility on August 29, 2013, as well as per the debt agreement for the 2013 Baltic Trading Credit Facility that was effective on August 30, 2013.  Refer to Note 9 – Debt for further information.  Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of floating rate debt under the credit facilities.  The carrying value approximates the fair market value for these floating rate loans except for the 2007 Credit Facility.  The fair value of the convertible senior notes payable represents the market value based on recent transactions of the 2010 Notes at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 without bifurcating the value of the conversion option.  The fair value of the interest rate swaps shown below is the estimated amount the Company would receive to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of both the swap counterparty and the Company.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (principally Due from charterers and Accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis.  This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The 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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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’s interest rate derivative instruments are pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps based on LIBOR.  The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives, using observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact.  Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts on LIBOR for the first two years) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR cash and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals).  Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements.  Refer to Note 11 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements for further information regarding the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.  ASC 820-10 states that the fair value measurement of an asset or liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the impact of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position have also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments.  This credit valuation adjustment did not have a material impact on the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments.  As of September 30, 2013, both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual terms of the instruments. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. Floating rate debt is considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company considers the estimate of rates it could obtain for similar debt or based upon transaction amongst third parties. The 2010 Notes are publicly traded in the over-the-counter market; however, they are not considered to be actively traded. As such, the 2010 Notes are considered to be a Level 2 item.  The Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

In September 2005, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for office space in New York, New York for which there was a free rental period from September 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006.  On January 6, 2012, the Company ceased the use of this space and has recorded net rent (income) expense of ($39) and $255 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $92 and $826 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing the present value of the Company’s estimated remaining rent expense for the duration of the lease after taking into account future sublease income based on the sublease agreement entered into effective November 1, 2013 and deferred rent on the facility.  The current lease obligations related to this lease agreement as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $284 and $682, respectively, are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in Current portion of lease obligations.  The long-term lease obligations related to this lease agreement as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $790 and $672, respectively, are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets in Long-term lease obligations.
 
Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $129 for the remainder of 2013, $518 annually for 2014 through 2015, $529 for 2016, $550 for 2017 and a total of $1,972 for the remaining term of the lease.
 
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 will be $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 is 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 will be $130.  The Company had a long-term lease obligation at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $2,225 and $1,793, respectively.  Rent expense pertaining to this lease for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $389.  Rent expense pertaining to this lease for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1,168.

Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $245 for the remainder of 2013, $982 annually for 2014, $1,037 annually for 2015, $1,076 annually for 2016 and 2017 and a total of $16,506 for the remaining term of the lease.

On October 31, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into agreements to purchase a 2012 built 179,185 dwt Capesize drybulk vessel and a 2011 built 179,185 dwt Capesize drybulk vessel from affiliates of SK Shipping Co. Ltd. for an aggregate purchase price of $103,000. These vessels are to be renamed the Baltic Lion and the Baltic Tiger, respectively. The purchases are subject to completion of customary additional documentation and closing conditions. The vessels are expected to be delivered to Baltic Trading by the end of the fourth quarter of 2013.

Baltic Trading is in negotiations to obtain a commitment for commercial bank financing from a global lending institution.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (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, 2012 (the “2012 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 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 three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $33,591 and $33,462, respectively.  Depreciation expense for vessels for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $99,432 and $99,646, 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 estimated scrap value of $245/lwt multiplied by the weight of the ship in lightweight tons (lwt).
Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as revenue when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had an accrual of $323 and $407, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.
Voyage expense recognition

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crew, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. These differences in bunkers resulted in net (losses) gains of ($296) and $242 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $47 and $1,665 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.
Noncontrolling interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 reflects the noncontrolling interest’s share of the net loss of Baltic Trading, a subsidiary of the Company, which owns and employs drybulk vessels in the spot market or on spot market-related time charters.  The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages.  At September 30, 2013, the noncontrolling interest held an 86.03% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 29.10% of the voting power.  At December 31, 2012, the noncontrolling interest held a 75.22% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 16.83% 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 revenues earned for these services during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $2,010 and $1,530, respectively, of which $772 and $703, respectively, was eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,045 associated with these activities for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This resulted in estimated income tax expense of $471 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $664 associated with these activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  This resulted in income tax expense of $299 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Total revenues earned for these services during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5,015 and $4,575, respectively, of which $2,148 and $2,109, respectively, was eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $2,262 associated with these activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  This resulted in estimated income tax expense of $975 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,985 associated with these activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  This resulted in income tax expense of $892 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Baltic Trading is subject to income tax on its United States source income.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Baltic Trading had United States operations which resulted in United States source income of $420 and $200, respectively.  Baltic Trading’s United States income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $8 and $4, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Baltic Trading had United States operations which resulted in United States source income of $1,059 and $1,321, respectively.  Baltic Trading’s United States income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $22 and $26, respectively.
Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”), to improve the transparency of changes in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and items reclassified out of accumulated other income (loss) (“AOCI”).  The amendments in ASU 2013-02 are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2013-02 will not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than separately disclosing in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements amounts reclassified out of AOCI and the individual line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations that are affected.  The Company has adopted ASU 2013-02 and the impact of adoption is not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  Refer to Note 12 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for additional disclosure.
