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

 

Basis of presentation

 

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

 

Vessels, net

 

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

 

Noncontrolling interest

 

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

 

Income taxes

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Voyage expense recognition

 

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

 

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 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 revenue from external (third party) customers for the Company’s two operating segments to total consolidated revenue from external customers for the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

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

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

7 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

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

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

The 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 has also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments in an asset or liability position and did not have a material impact on the fair value of these derivative instruments.  As of June 30, 2011, both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual terms of the instruments.
