Effective as of the opening of trading on August 5, 2016, the Company completed a 1 for 20 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as previously approved by our Board of Directors ( the "Board of Directors") and our shareholders. Proportional adjustments were made to the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and to its common stock underlying stock options and other common stock-based equity grants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split as well as the applicable exercise price. In addition, proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and to the exercise price of such warrants, pursuant to the terms thereof. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and shareholders who would have received a fractional share of common stock in connection with the Reverse Stock Split instead received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. All references to common stock and all per share data contained in this

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Qfor the period ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 (the "Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q")~~have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split unless explicitly stated otherwise.~~

~~CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS~~

~~This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q~~ contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provided for under these sections. These statements may include words such as “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and observations with respect to future events and financial performance.

Where we express an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, our forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected, or implied by those forward-looking statements. The principal factors that affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows include, charter market rates, which have declined significantly from historic highs, periods of charter hire, vessel operating expenses and voyage costs, which are incurred primarily in U.S. dollars, depreciation expenses, which are a function of the cost of our vessels, significant vessel improvement costs and our vessels' estimated useful lives, and financing costs related to our indebtedness. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors which could include the following: (i) changes in demand in the dry bulk market, including, without limitation, changes in production of, or demand for, commodities and bulk cargoes, generally or in particular regions; (ii) greater than anticipated levels of dry bulk vessel newbuilding orders or lower than anticipated rates of dry bulk vessel scrapping; (iii) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the dry bulk industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international bodies or organizations such as the International Maritime Organization and the European Union or by individual countries; (iv) actions taken by regulatory authorities including without limitation the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”); (v) changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall dry bulk tonnage requirements; (vi) changes in the typical seasonal variations in dry bulk charter rates; (vii) changes in the cost of other modes of bulk commodity transportation; (viii) changes in general domestic and international political conditions; (ix) changes in the condition of the Company’s vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking costs); (x) significant deteriorations in charter hire rates from current levels or the inability of the Company to achieve its cost-cutting measures; and (xi) the outcome of legal proceeding in which we are involved; and other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This discussion also includes statistical data regarding world dry bulk fleet and orderbook and fleet age. We generated some of this data internally, and some ~~was~~were obtained from independent industry publications and reports that we believe to be reliable sources. We have not independently verified this data nor sought the consent of any organizations to refer to their reports in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

EAGLE BULK SHIPPING INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or similar terms). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of dry bulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership, charter and operation of dry bulk vessels. The Company’s fleet is comprised of Supramax and Ultramax dry bulk carriers which are considered to be Handymax class of vessels and the Company operates its business in one business segment.

As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company owned and operated a modern fleet of 4647 oceangoing vessels, 38including 35 Supramax and 812 Ultramax vessels with a combined carrying capacity of ~~2,600,542 dwt~~2,693,430 deadweight tonnage ("dwt") and an average age of approximately ~~7.7 years~~ ~~excluding vessels held for sale~~.

8.6 years. Additionally, the Company chartered-in a 37,000 dwt newbuilding Japanese vessel that was delivered in October 2014 for seven years with an option for one additional year. On May 10, 2017, the Company signed an agreement to cancel this existing time charter contract. The Company agreed to pay a lump sum termination fee of $1.5 million relating to the cancellation. At the same time, the Company entered into an agreement with the same lessor, effective April 28, 2017, to charter incharters-in a 61,400 dwt, 2013 built ~~Japanese~~Ultramax vessel for a remaining period of approximately ~~four years (having~~three years. In addition, the same redelivery dates as the aforementioned canceled charter) with options for two additional years. The hire rate for the first four years is $12,800 per day and the hire rate for the first optional year is $13,800 per day and $14,300 per day for the second optional year. The $1.5 million early termination fee was accounted for asCompany charters-in third-party vessels on a ~~reduction of fair value below time charters acquired in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017.~~

short to medium term basis.

For the three and ~~six-month periods~~six months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, the Company’s charterers did not individually account for more than 10% of the Company’s gross charter revenue during those periods.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC which apply to interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s ~~2016~~2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March ~~31, 2017.~~

12, 2018.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to current period's presentation. Specifically, reclassifications were made in the prior year's condensed consolidated statement of operations for three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 to combine the captions loss on vessels held for sale of $115,000 and loss on sale of vessels of $286,210. The unrealized loss on derivatives on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 has been separately presented in the adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

We adopted ~~the provisions of Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”, issued by~~ the Financial Accounting Standards ~~Board (“FASB”~~Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09" or "ASC 606") as of January 1, ~~2017. Accordingly, we report our bunker inventory~~2018 utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition. ASC 606 impacted the timing of recognition of revenues from certain ongoing spot voyage charters as well as timing of recognition of certain voyage related expenses. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized beginning from the commencement of loading until the completion of discharge at ~~lower~~the discharge port instead of ~~cost~~recognizing revenue from the discharge of the previous voyage so long as an agreed non-cancellable charter between the Company and ~~net realizable value. There~~the charterer is ~~no impact on~~in existence, the ~~condensed consolidated financial statements because of~~charter rate is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

With the adoption of ASC 606, we recognize as an asset any costs incurred prior to commencement of loading because these costs are incurred to fulfill a contract and are directly related to a contract or an anticipated contract that we can specifically identify. These costs are amortized over the ~~new accounting standard.~~

term of the contract on a straight-line basis as the performance obligations are met.

We recorded an adjustment of approximately $0.8 million to increase our opening accumulated deficit and increase our unearned revenue and other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet on January 1, 2018. Please refer to Note 2 "Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements" for further information.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are residual value of vessels, the useful lives of ~~fixed assets,~~vessels, the value of stock-based compensation and the fair value of derivatives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

Our shipping revenues are principally generated from time charters and voyage charters. In a time charter contract, the vessel is hired by the charterer for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration which is based on a daily hire rate. The charterer has the full discretion over the ports visited, shipping routes and vessel speed. The contract/charter party generally provides typical warranties regarding the speed and performance of the vessel. The charter party generally has some owner protective restrictions such that the vessel is sent only to safe ports by the charterer, subject always to compliance with applicable sanction laws, and carry only lawful or non hazardous cargo. In a time charter contract, the Company is responsible for all the costs incurred for running the vessel such as crew costs, vessel insurance, repairs and maintenance and lubes. The charterer bears the voyage related costs such as bunker expenses, port charges, canal tolls during the hire period. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over the term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company. The charterer generally pays the charter hire in advance of the upcoming contract period. The time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore do not fall under the scope of ASC 606 because (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use.

Voyage charters

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" or "despatch" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any potential delays exceeding the allowed laytime as per the charter party clause at the ports visited which is recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime known as despatch resulting in a reduction in revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses. and the revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

The voyage contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606 because the Company as the shipowner retains the control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch. The amount of revenue earned as demurrage or despatch paid by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 is not material.

The following table shows the revenues earned from time charters and voyage charters for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018:



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2018		Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Time charters	$	37,355,472	$	66,678,691
Voyage charters	37,583,228		87,630,618
	$	74,938,700	$	154,309,309

Contract costs

In a voyage charter contract, the Company bears all voyage related costs such as fuel costs, port charges and canal tolls. These costs are considered contract fulfillment costs because the costs are direct costs related to the performance of the contract and are expected to be recovered. The costs incurred during the period prior to commencement of ~~amortization,~~loading the cargo, primarily bunkers, are deferred as they represent setup costs and recorded as a current asset ~~impairment,~~ and ~~stock-based compensation.~~

are amortized on a straight-line basis as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

~~Note 2. Equity Offerings~~

On December 13, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with certain investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue to the Investors in a private placement exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (the “December Private Placement”) approximately 22.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a purchase price of $4.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $100.0 million. On January 20, 2017, the Company closed the previously announced December Private Placement for aggregate net proceeds of $96.0 million. The Company principally used the proceeds to acquire two Ultramax vessels and for a portion of the payments required to acquire the Greenship Vessels (as defined in "Note 5 Debt - Ultraco Debt Facility" to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

~~Note 3. New Accounting Pronouncements~~

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~~Under ASC 606, an entity is ~~effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively~~required to ~~each period presented or as~~perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a ~~cumulative-effect adjustment as~~customer; (2) identify the performance obligations of the ~~date~~contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfied a performance obligation. Additionally, the guidance requires improved disclosures as to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of ~~adoption. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update provides further guidance on applying collectability criterion to assess whether the contract~~revenue that is valid and represents a substantive transaction on the basis whether a customer has the ability and intention to pay the promised consideration. The requirements of this standard include an increase in required disclosures. Management has assembled an internal project team andis currently analyzing contracts with our customers coveringthe significant streams of the Company's annual revenues underrecognized.

We adopted the provisions of ~~the new standard as well as changes necessary to information technology systems, processes and internal controls to capture new data and address changes in financial reporting. Managementwill apply~~ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective ~~transition method~~approach. As such, the comparative information has not been restated and ~~will recognize~~continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for periods prior to January 1, 2018. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of adopting this standard as an adjustment amounting to $0.8 million to increase the opening balance of ~~retained earnings~~Accumulated Deficit as of January 1, 2018. ~~Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted.~~ The Company ~~continues~~recognized $0.8 million of deferred costs which represents the costs such as bunker expenses and charter hire expenses on chartered-in vessels, incurred prior to ~~make progress~~commencement of loading are recorded in ~~its implementation~~other current assets and ~~assessment~~$1.6 million of unearned charter hire revenue which represents the ~~new revenue standard. While~~Company's obligation to satisfy performance obligations under the ~~assessment is still ongoing, based on the progress made to date,~~contract for which the Company ~~expects that thetiming~~has received consideration from the customer.

The adoption of ASC 606 impacted the timing of recognition of revenue for certain ongoing spot voyage charter contracts, ~~will be impacted~~related voyage expenses and charter hire expenses. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized from when the vessel commences loading through the completion of discharge at the discharge port instead of recognizing revenue from the discharge of the previous voyage provided an agreed non-cancellable charter between the Company and the charterer is in existence, the charter rate is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Any expenses incurred during the ballast portion of the voyage (time spent by the vessel traveling from discharge port of the previous voyage to the load port of the subsequent voyage) such as ~~well~~bunker expenses, canal tolls and charter hire expenses for chartered-in vessels are deferred and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the charter period as the ~~timing of recognition of certain voyage related costs. The~~ Company ~~is also evaluating~~satisfies the ~~presentation of revenue in its condensed consolidated statement of operations after~~performance obligations under the contract.

Further, the adoption of ~~ASU 2014-09.~~

ASC 606 impacted the accounts receivable and unearned revenue on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018. Under ASC 606, receivables represent an entity's unconditional right to consideration, billed or unbilled. The Company determined that the performance obligations on its spot voyage charters do not begin to be satisfied unless the vessel arrives at the load port and commences loading the cargo. This impacted the amount of accounts receivable and unearned revenue recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following table presents the impact of the adoption of ASC 606 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018:



	As of June 30, 2018

Accumulated deficit	(427,164,813		)	(787,110		)	(427,951,923		)

⁽¹⁾Under ASC 606, the contract fulfillment costs are deferred as a current asset and amortized as the related performance obligations are satisfied. The adjustment to other current assets includes bunker expenses of $0.6 million incurred to arrive at the load port for the voyages in progress as of January 1, 2018 and $0.2 million of charter hire expenses on third party chartered-in vessels which were chartered-in to fulfill the performance obligations under the voyage contract.

⁽²⁾Under ASC 606, unearned charter hire revenue represents the consideration received for undelivered performance obligations. The Company recorded $1.5 million as the unearned revenue on voyages in progress as of January 1, 2018. The Company recognized this revenue in the first quarter of 2018 as the performance obligations are met.

The adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on net cash provided by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

After giving effect to an original issue discount of approximately 1% and deducting offering expenses of $3.1 million, the net proceeds from the issuance of the Bonds were approximately $195.0 million. These net proceeds from the Bonds, together with the proceeds from the New First Lien Facility and cash on hand, were used to repay all amounts outstanding including accrued interest under various debt facilities outstanding at that time and to pay expenses associated with the refinancing transactions. Shipco incurred $1.3 million in other financing costs in connection with the transaction.

The Norwegian Bond Debt is guaranteed by the limited liability companies that are subsidiaries of the Issuer and the legal and beneficial owners of 28 security vessels (the "Shipco Vessels") in the Company’s fleet, and are secured by mortgages over such security vessels, a pledge granted by the Company over all of the shares of the Issuer, a pledge granted by the Issuer over all the shares in the Vessel Owners, certain charter contract assignments, certain assignments of earnings, a pledge over certain accounts, an assignment of insurances covering security vessels, and assignments of intra-group debt between the Company and the Issuer or its subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the Bond Terms, interest on the Bonds will accrue at a rate of 8.250% per annum on the nominal amount of each of the Bonds from November 28, 2017, payable semi-annually on May 29 and November 29 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing May 29, 2018. The Bonds will mature on November 28, 2022. On each Interest Payment Date from and including November 29, 2018, the Issuer must repay an amount of $4,000,000, plus accrued interest thereon. Any outstanding Bonds must be repaid in full on the Maturity Date at a price equal to 100% of the nominal amount, plus accrued interest thereon.

The Issuer may redeem some or all of the outstanding Bonds at any time on or after the Interest Payment Date in May 2020 (the “First Call Date”), at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the nominal amount), plus accrued interest on the redeemed amount, on any business day from and including:





Period		Redemption Price
First Call Date to, but not including, the Interest Payment Date in November 2020		104.125%
Interest Payment Date in November 2020 to but not including, the Interest Payment Date in May 2021		103.3%
Interest Payment Date in May 2021 to, but not including, the Interest Payment Date in November 2021		102.475%
Interest Payment Date in November 2021 to, but not including, the Interest Payment Date in May 2022		101.65%
Interest Payment Date in May 2022 to, but not including, the Maturity Date		100%

Prior to the First Call Date, the Issuer may redeem some or all of the outstanding Bonds at a price equal to 100% of the nominal amount of the Bonds plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

If the Company experiences a change of control, each holder of the Bonds will have the right to require that the Issuer purchase all or some of the Bonds held by such holder at a price equal to 101% of the nominal amount, plus accrued interest.

The Bond Terms contain certain financial covenants that the Issuer’s leverage ratio defined as the ratio of outstanding bond amount and any drawn amounts under the Super Senior Facility less consolidated cash balance to the aggregate book value of the Shipco Vessels must not exceed 75% and its and its subsidiaries’ free liquidity must at all times be at least $12,500,000. Shipco is in compliance with its financial covenants as of June 30, ~~2016,~~2018.

The Bond Terms also contain certain events of default customary for transactions of this type, including, but not limited to, those relating to: a failure to pay principal or interest; a breach of covenants, representation or warranty; a cross default to other indebtedness; the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and insolvency events; and the impossibility or unlawfulness of performance of the finance documents.

The Bond Terms also contain certain exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limit the Company’s and the Issuer’s ability and the ability of the Issuer’s subsidiaries to do the following: make distributions; carry out any merger, other business combination, demerger or corporate reorganization; make substantial changes to the general nature of their respective businesses; incur certain indebtedness; incur liens; make loans or guarantees; make certain investments; transact with affiliates; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in certain chartering-in of vessels; dispose of shares of Vessel Owners; or acquire the Bonds.

The Bonds were listed for trading on the Oslo Stock Exchange on May 15, 2018.

Cash Collateral Disclosures

The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivatives by the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral. The amount of collateral to be posted is defined in the terms of respective master agreement executed with counterparties or exchanges and is required when agreed upon threshold limits are exceeded. As of June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, the Company posted cash collateral related to derivative instruments under its collateral security arrangements of ~~$994,204~~$891,344 and ~~zero,~~$178,836, respectively, which is recorded within other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash—the carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for interest-bearing deposits approximate their fair value due to ~~their~~the short-term nature thereof.

Debt—the carrying amounts of borrowings under the ~~revolving credit agreement~~Norwegian Bond Debt, the New First Lien Facility and the Ultraco Debt Facility (prior to application of the discount and debt issuance costs) including the Revolving Loan approximate their fair value, due to the variable interest rate nature thereof.

The Company defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 non-derivatives include cash, money-market accounts, certain short-term investments and restricted cash accounts.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. Our Level 2 non-derivatives include our short-term investments and debt balances under the Norwegian Bond Debt, the New First Lien Facility and the Ultraco Debt Facility.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Note 7.6. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and may become involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company evaluates these legal matters on a case-by-case basis to make a determination as to the impact, if any, on its business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In November 2015, the Company filed a voluntary self-disclosure report with OFAC regarding certain apparent violations of U.S. sanctions regulations in the provision of shipping services for third party charterers with respect to the transportation of cargo to or from Myanmar (formerly Burma) (the “OFAC Disclosure”). At the time of such apparent violations, the Company had a different senior operational management team. Notwithstanding the fact that the apparent violations took place under a different senior operational management team and although the Company’s new Board of Directors and management have implemented robust remedial measures and significantly enhanced its compliance safeguards, there can be no assurance that OFAC will not conclude that these past actions warrant the imposition of civil penalties and/or referral for further investigation by the U.S. Department of

Justice. The report was provided to OFAC for the agency’s review, consideration and determination regarding what action, if any, may be taken in resolution of this matter. The Company will continue to cooperate with the agency regarding this matter and cannot estimate when such review will be concluded. While the ultimate impact of these matters cannot be determined, there can be no assurance that the impact will not be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of ~~operations~~

operations.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of ~~operation~~operations for the three and ~~six-month periods~~six months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016.~~2017. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and the notes to those financial statements and the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, which were included in our Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March ~~31, 2017.~~12, 2018. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. Please see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation incorporated on March 23, 2005 and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut. We own one of the largest fleets of Supramax/Ultramax dry bulk vessels in the world. Supramax dry bulk ~~are~~ vessels ~~which are constructed with on-board cranes, ranging~~range in size from approximately 50,000 to 59,000 dwt and Ultramax dry bulk vessels range in size from 60,000 to 65,000 dwt. Supramax and Ultramax vessels are equipped with cranes and grabs, which are used to load and discharge cargo. They are considered a sub-category of the Handymax segment typically defined as 40,000 to 65,000 dwt. We transport a broad range of major and minor bulk cargoes, including but not limited to coal, grain, ore, petcoke, cement and fertilizer, along worldwide shipping routes. As of June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we owned and operated a modern fleet of 4647 Supramax/Ultramax dry bulk vessels. We chartered-in a 37,000 dwt newbuilding Japanese vessel that was delivered in October 2014 for seven years with an option for one additional year. On April 3, 2017, we signed an agreement to cancel this existing time chartered-in contract, and, at the same time, we entered into an agreement to charter in a 61,400 dwt, 2013 built Japanese vessel for approximately ~~four~~three years ~~(having the same redelivery dates as the aforementioned canceled charter)~~ with options for two additional years.

In addition, the Company charters-in third-party vessels on a short to medium term basis.

We are focused on maintaining a high quality fleet that is concentrated primarily in Supramax/Ultramax dry bulk carriers. These vessels have the cargo loading and unloading flexibility of on-board cranes while offering cargo carrying capacities approaching that of Panamax dry bulk vessels, which range in size from 72,000 to 83,000 dwt and rely on port facilities to load and offload their cargoes. We believe that the cargo handling flexibility and cargo carrying capacity of the ~~Supramax~~Supramax/Ultramax class vessels make them attractive to cargo interests and vessel charterers. The Company’s owned operating fleet consisted of 4647 dry bulk vessels, with an aggregate carrying capacity of ~~2,600,542~~2,693,430 dwt with an average age of ~~7.7~~approximately 8.6 years ~~excluding vessels held for sale~~ as of June 30, ~~2017.~~

2018.

We carry out the commercial and strategic management of our fleet through our indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Eagle ~~Shipping International (USA)~~Bulk Management LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company, which maintains its principal executive offices in Stamford, Connecticut. We own each of our vessels through a separate wholly-owned Marshall Islands limited liability company.

On February 28, 2017, Ultraco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Greenship Purchase Agreement with Greenship Sellers for the purchase of nine Greenship Vessels. The aggregate purchase price for the nine Greenship Vessels is $153.0 million. The allocated purchase price for each Greenship Vessel is $17.0 million. The Company took delivery of six of the nine Greenship Vessels during the second quarter and is expected to take delivery of the remaining Greenship Vessels in the third quarter of 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the Company paid a deposit of $20.8 million towards the delivery of the remaining three Greenship Vessels.

On June 28, 2017, Ultraco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Ultraco Debt Facility, by and among Ultraco, as borrower, the Ultraco Guarantors, the Ultraco Lenders, the swap banks party thereto, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, as facility agent and security trustee for the Ultraco Lenders, ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, DVB Bank SE and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ), as mandated lead arrangers, and ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC, as arranger and bookrunner. The Ultraco Debt Facility provides for a multi-draw senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to the lesser of (i) $61,200,000 and (ii) 40% of the lesser of (1) the purchase price of the Greenship Vessels to be acquired by Ultraco and the Ultraco Guarantors pursuant to a previously disclosed framework agreement, dated as of February 28, 2017, with Greenship Sellers, and (2) the fair market value of the Greenship Vessels. The proceeds of the Ultraco Debt Facility may be used for the purpose of financing, refinancing or reimbursing a part of the acquisition cost of the Greenship Vessels. The outstanding borrowings under the Ultraco Debt Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.95% per annum. The Ultraco Debt Facility also provides for the payment of certain other fees and expenses by Ultraco. Please refer to "Note 5 Debt" to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Corporate Information

We maintain our principal executive offices at 300 First Stamford Place, 5^th Floor, Stamford, Connecticut 06902. Our telephone number at that address is (203) 276-8100. Our website address is www.eagleships.com. Information contained on or accessible through our website does not constitute part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Strategy

Our financial performance is based on the following key elements of our business strategy:


(1)	concentration in one vessel category: Supramax/Ultramax dry bulk vessels, which we believe offer certain size, operational and geographical advantages relative to other classes of dry bulk vessels, such as Handy, Panamax and Capesize vessels,

(2)

an active owner-operator model where we seek to operate our own fleet and develop contractual relationships directly with cargo interests. These relationships and the related cargo contracts have the dual benefit of providing greater operational efficiencies and act as a balance to the Company’s naturally long position to the market. Notwithstanding the focus on voyage chartering, we consistently monitor the dry bulk shipping market and, based on market conditions, will consider taking advantage of long-term time charters at higher rates when appropriate, and


(3)	maintain high quality vessels and improve standards of operation through improved standards and procedures, crew training and repair and maintenance procedures.

We believe that this structure provides significant visibility to our future financial results and allows us to take advantage of the relatively stable cash flows and high utilization rates that are associated with medium-term time charters, while at the same time providing us with the revenue upside potential from the ~~index-linked or~~ short-term time charters or voyage ~~charters or pool~~ charters. We regularly monitor the dry bulk shipping market and based on market conditions we may consider taking advantage of long-term charter rates.

We have employed all of our vessels in our operating fleet on time and voyage charters. The following table represents certain information about our revenue earning charters with respect to our operating fleet as of June 30, ~~2017:~~

Commercial management. We obtain employment for our vessels and manage our relationships with charterers.

Technical management. We have established an in-house technical management function to perform day-to-day operations and maintenance of our vessels.

Commercial and Strategic Management

We carry out the commercial and strategic management of our fleet through our indirectly wholly-owned ~~subsidiaries of~~subsidiary, Eagle ~~Shipping, Eagle Shipping International (USA)~~Bulk Management LLC, a Marshall Islands limited liability company, ~~Eagle Bulk Pte. Ltd, a~~which maintains its principal executive offices in Stamford, Connecticut. We have offices in Singapore ~~company~~ and ~~Eagle Bulk Europe GmbH, a German Company.~~Hamburg, Germany, through which we provide round the clock management services to our owned and chartered-in fleet. We currently have ~~seventy-seven~~88 shore based personnel, including our senior management team and our office staff, who either directly or through these subsidiaries, provide the following services:

commercial operations and technical supervision;

Value of Assets and Cash Requirements

The replacement costs of comparable new vessels may be above or below the book value of our fleet. The market value of our fleet may be below book value when market conditions are weak and exceed book value when markets conditions are strong. Customary with industry practice, we may consider asset redeployment, which at times may include the sale of vessels at less than their book value. The Company’s results of operations and cash flow may be significantly affected by future charter markets.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC which apply to interim financial statements. The preparation of those financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues, expenses and warrants and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments of uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. As the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations isare based upon our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, they do not include all of the information on critical accounting policies normally included in consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, a detailed description of these critical accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, filed with the SEC on March ~~31, 2017.~~12, 2018. There have been no material changes from the “Critical Accounting Policies” previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, filed with the SEC on March ~~31, 2017.~~

12, 2018 except for the new accounting pronouncements adopted as of January 1, 2018. Please refer to Note 2 "Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are residual value of vessels, the useful lives of ~~fixed assets,~~vessels, the ~~period~~value of ~~amortization, asset impairment,~~stock-based compensation and ~~stock-based compensation.~~the fair value of derivatives. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

•

~~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.

•

~~Chartered-in under operating lease days:~~ We define chartered-in under operating lease days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which we chartered-in vessels. Periodically, the Company charters in vessels on a single trip basis.

•

~~Available days:~~ We define available days, which the Company has recently updated and reflected in the above table to better reflect the way management views the business, as the number of our ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to vessel familiarization upon acquisition, repairs, vessel upgrades or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company drydocked one vessel. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company completed drydocking of six vessels.

•

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

•

~~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 amount 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. Our fleet continues to perform at high utilization rates.

The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company completed drydock for six vessels and two vessels was still in drydock as of June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company drydocked one vessel.

Time Charter and Voyage Revenue

Shipping revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by a company and the trades in which those vessels operate. In the dry bulk sector of the shipping industry, rates for the transportation of dry bulk cargoes such as ores, grains, steel, fertilizers, and similar commodities, are determined by market forces such as the supply and demand for such commodities, the distance that cargoes must be transported, and the number of vessels expected to be available at the time such cargoes need to be transported. The demand for shipments is significantly affected by the state of the global economy and in discrete geographical areas. The number of vessels is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally because of scrapping.

The mix of charters between spot or voyage charters and mid-term time charters also affects revenues. Because the mix between voyage charters and time charters significantly affects shipping revenues and voyage expenses, vessel revenues are benchmarked based on ~~time~~net charter ~~equivalent (“TCE”). TCE~~hire income. Net charter hire income comprises revenue from vessels operating on time charters, and voyage revenue less voyage expenses from vessels operating on voyage charters in the spot ~~market. TCE~~market and charter hire expenses. Net charter hire serves as a measure of analyzing fluctuations between financial periods and as a method of equating revenue generated from a voyage charter to time charter revenue. ~~TCE also serves as an industry standard for measuring revenue and comparing results between geographical regions and among competitors.~~

The following table represents ~~the reconciliation of TCE~~Net charter hire income for the three and ~~six-months~~six months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016:~~

Revenues

Our revenues are derived from time and voyage charters. As is common in the shipping industry, we pay commissions ranging from 1.25% to 5.50% of the total daily charter hire rate of each charter to unaffiliated ship brokers associated with the charterers, depending on the number of brokers involved with arranging the charter.

Net time and voyage charter revenues infor the ~~quarter~~three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018, were ~~$53,631,224~~$74,938,700 compared with ~~$25,590,434~~$53,631,224 recorded in the comparable quarter in ~~2016.~~2017. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to the improving dry bulk market resulting in higher ~~number of freight voyages performed and higher time~~ charter ~~hire~~ rates ~~in the second quarter of 2017~~ as well as ~~anincrease~~an increase in available days due to an increase in our owned fleet and chartered in vessels. ~~Our fleet utilization increased from 99.1% to 99.6% due to better vessel performance~~

Net time and ~~lower off hire days.~~

~~Net~~voyage charter revenues ~~during~~for the ~~six-month periods~~six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $154,309,309 and ~~2016 were~~ $99,486,281, ~~and $46,868,722,~~ respectively. The increase in revenue was ~~attributable~~primarily due to ~~ahigher number~~an increase in the owned fleet with the purchase of ~~freight voyages performed and higher time charter rates~~11 Ultramax vessels partially offset by the sale of five vessels since the second quarter of 2017, along with an increase in chartered in vessels as well as ~~anincrease in the available days~~higher charter rates due to ~~anincrease in ourowned fleet as well as chartered in vessels.~~

an improving dry bulk market.

Voyage Expenses

To the extent that we employ our vessels on voyage charters, we will incur expenses that include bunkers, port charges, canal tolls and cargo handling operations, as these expenses are borne by the vessel owner on voyage charters. Bunkers, port charges, and canal ~~toll expenses~~tolls primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters because these expenses are for the vessel's account. Voyage expenses for the ~~three-month period~~three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 were ~~$13,379,664,~~$17,204,964, compared to ~~$7,450,149~~$13,379,664 in the comparable quarter in ~~2016.~~2017. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in the fleet size, an increase in the number of ~~freight voyages~~voyage charters performed in the current quarter compared to the comparable quarter in the prior year as ~~reflected in the table above as~~ well as increased bunker prices year over year.

Voyage expenses for the ~~six-month periods~~six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $39,719,556 and ~~2016 were~~ $26,733,011, ~~and $16,694,196,~~ respectively. The increase ~~in voyage expenses~~ was ~~mainly attributable~~primarily due to an increase in the fleet size as well as the number of ~~freight voyages~~voyage charters performed in the current ~~year~~period compared to the comparable period in the prior year.

The increase in bunker prices year over year contributed to the increase in voyage expenses as well.

Vessel Expenses

Vessel expenses for the ~~three-month period~~three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 were ~~$19,308,802~~$20,577,116 compared to ~~$18,594,587~~$19,308,802 in the comparable quarter in ~~2016.~~2017. The increase in vessel expenses is attributable to the increase in ~~purchase~~the owned fleet after the acquisition of ~~stores~~11 Ultramax vessels during 2017 and ~~spares, lubes and repair expenses~~2018 which was partially offset by ~~a decrease~~vessel sales in ~~ownership days compared to the prior year.~~2017 and 2018. The Company sold the ~~vessels Falcon, Harrier, Peregrine and Kittiwake during 2016, and~~vessel Redwing in the first quarter of 2017, ~~and~~the Sparrow in the second quarter of 2017, ~~which was offset by~~ the ~~purchase~~Woodstar in the third quarter of ~~eight Ultramax vessels that were delivered between~~2017 and the Wren in the fourth quarter of ~~2016 and~~2017. The vessel Avocet was sold in the second quarter of ~~2017.~~2018. The ownership days for the ~~three-month periods~~three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 4,294 and ~~June 30, 2016 were~~ 3,878, ~~and 3,924,~~ respectively.

Vessel expenses for the ~~six-month periods~~six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $41,655,773 and ~~June 30, 2016 were~~ $37,264,321, ~~and $39,075,222,~~ respectively. The ~~decrease~~increase in vessel expenses is primarily attributable to ~~a decrease~~an increase in ~~ownership days due to vessel sales offset by~~the owned fleet after the acquisition of ~~eight~~11 Ultramax vessels ~~in the current year.~~during 2017 and 2018 which was partially offset by vessel sales. The ownership days for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 8,606 and 7,564, ~~compared to 7,928 in the comparable period in the prior year.~~

respectively.

We believe daily vessel operating expenses are a good measure 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.

Average daily vessel operating expenses for our fleet for the ~~three-month periods~~three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $4,792 and ~~June 30, 2016 were~~ $4,979, ~~and $4,739,~~ respectively. The ~~increase~~decrease in daily average vessel operating expenses is ~~mainly attributable~~primarily due to ~~an increase~~savings in ~~expenses relating to lubes, stores and spares.~~

repairs expense incurred on vessels sold.

Average daily vessel operating expenses for our fleet for the ~~six-month periods~~six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $4,840 and ~~June 30, 2016 were~~ $4,927, ~~and $4,929,~~ respectively.

Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores and related inventory, tonnage taxes, pre-operating costs associated with the delivery of acquired vessels including providing the newly acquired vessels with initial provisions and stores, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Under United States Federal law and 33 CFR, Part 151, Subpart D (the "BWMS Law"), United States approved BWMS 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. An Alternative Management System (“AMS”) may be installed in lieu of a USCG approved BWMS. 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 Company has two vessels with AMS compliance dates in 2021 and 2022. The BWMS Law allows the USCG to grant compliance date extensions to an owner/operator who has documented, despite all efforts, that compliance with one of the approved BWMS is not possible. The Company has requested and the USCG has granted extensions for our vessels with 2016, 2017, and 2018 drydocking deadlines, including the relevant Greenship Vessels. A majority of these extensions were received prior to June 30, 2017 and extensions on six of the Greenship Vessels were received subsequent to the June 30, 2017 quarter end. We will apply for the extensions as we complete taking delivery of the remaining three Greenship Vessels. The USCG extensions enables us to defer installation to early 2019 and up to 2022. The Company estimates the cost of the systems to be $0.8 million for each Supramax/Ultramax vessel.

Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, may cause vessel operating expenses to increase, including, for instance, developments relating to market prices for crew, insurance and petroleum-based lubricants and supplies.

Charter hire expenses

The charter hire expenses for the ~~three-month period~~three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 were ~~$6,445,580~~$10,108,258 compared to ~~$1,668,239~~$6,445,580 in the comparable quarter in ~~2016.~~2017. The increase in charter hire ~~expense~~expenses was principally due to an increase in the number of chartered in vessels. The Company chartered in a 63,000 dwt newbuilding vessel in May 2016 for a period of nine to fourteen months and a 61,000 dwt newbuilding vessel that was delivered in July 2016 for a period of eleven to thirteen months. The Company chartered in a 63,000 dwt Ultramax vessel in March 2017 for a period of nine to fourteen months. In addition, the Company chartered in vessels on a short-term basis as ~~needed.~~we expand on our owner-operator platform as well as an increase in the average charter hire expense per day. The total chartered in days for the ~~three-month period~~three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 were ~~744~~867 compared to ~~200~~744 for the comparable quarter in the prior year.

The Company currently charters in one Ultramax vessel on a long term basis.

The charter hire expenses for the ~~six-month period~~six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $20,376,322 and $10,318,912 ~~compared to $3,156,757 in the comparable period in the prior year.~~, respectively. The increase in charter hire expenses ~~is mainly~~was primarily due to an increase in the number of chartered in ~~vessels.~~vessels as well as an increase in the average charter hire expense per day due to improvement in the drybulk market. The total chartered in days for the ~~six-month period~~six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 1,811 and 1,258, ~~compared to 351 in the prior year comparable period.~~

respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

For the ~~three-month periods~~three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, total depreciation and amortization expense was ~~$8,020,597~~$9,272,460 and ~~$9,654,129,~~$8,020,597, respectively. Total depreciation and amortization expense for the ~~three-month period~~three months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 includes ~~$7,027,531~~$7,975,981 of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and ~~$993,066~~$1,296,479 relating to the amortization of deferred drydocking costs. Comparable amounts for the ~~three-month period~~three months ended June 30, ~~2016~~2017 were ~~$8,758,221~~$7,027,531 of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and ~~$895,908~~$993,066 of amortization of deferred drydocking costs. The ~~decrease~~increase in depreciation ~~expense is attributable~~was primarily due to the purchase of 10 Ultramax vessels during 2017 and one in January 2018 offset by the sale of ~~six~~two vessels during ~~2016~~the second half of 2017, one vessel in the second quarter of 2018 and one vessel classified as held for sale since the first ~~and second quarters~~quarter of 2018. The amortization of drydock expense increased in the current quarter compared to the comparable quarter in the prior year primarily due to the completion of three drydockings in 2017 and ~~lower book value of vessels subsequent to the impairment charges aggregating $129,027,862 recorded~~six in the first ~~and fourth quarters~~half of 2016 offset by the purchase of eight new Ultramax vessels in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first and second quarters of 2017. The decrease in depreciation expense was offset by an increase in drydock amortization.

2018.

For the ~~six-month periods~~six months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, total depreciation and amortization expense was ~~$15,513,405~~$18,548,875 and ~~$19,050,830,~~$15,513,405, respectively. Total depreciation and amortization expense for the ~~six-month period~~six months ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 includes ~~$13,538,266~~$16,049,334 of vessel and other fixed ~~assets~~asset depreciation and ~~$1,975,139~~$2,499,541 relating to the amortization of deferred drydocking costs. Comparable amounts for the ~~six-month period~~six months ended June 30, ~~2016~~2017 were ~~$17,661,150~~$13,538,266 of vessel and other fixed asset depreciation and ~~$1,389,680~~$1,975,139 of amortization of deferred drydocking costs.

The increase in depreciation was primarily due to the purchase of 10 Ultramax vessels during 2017 and one in January 2018 offset by the sale of two vessels in the second half of 2017 and one vessel in the second quarter of 2018 and one vessel classified as held for sale since the first quarter of 2018. The amortization of drydock expense increased in the current period compared to the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to the completion of three drydockings in 2017 and six in the first half of the 2018.

The cost of all vessels is depreciated 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 from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard to the original owner. Furthermore, we estimate the residual values of our vessels to be $300 per lightweight ton, which we believe is common in the dry bulk shipping industry. Drydocking relates to our regularly scheduled maintenance program necessary to preserve the quality of our vessels as well as to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Management anticipates that vessels are to be drydocked every two and a half years for vessels older than 15 years and every five years for vessels younger than 15 years, accordingly, these expenses are deferred and amortized over that period.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses include onshore vessel administration related expenses such as legal and professional expenses and administrative and other expenses including payroll and expenses relating to our executive officers and office staff, office rent and expenses, directors’ fees, and directors and officers insurance. General and administrative expenses also include non-cash compensation expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the ~~three-month periods~~three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $8,895,505 and ~~2016 were~~ $8,589,979, ~~and $4,874,719,~~ respectively. These general and administrative expenses include a ~~non-cash~~stock-based compensation component of $2,409,599 and $2,478,051 for 2018 and ~~$841,933 for~~ 2017, ~~and 2016,~~ respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to increases in compensation expense ~~advisers’ fees and non-cash compensation expense. The increases are reflective of~~relating to incremental staff hired in connection with the ~~expansion of~~increased fleet size under our owner-operator ~~platform and the opening of Eagle Bulk Europe GmbH in the third quarter of 2016.~~

business model.

General and administrative expenses for the ~~six-month periods~~six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $18,809,469 and ~~2016 were~~ $16,368,800, ~~and $10,206,062,~~ respectively. These general and administrative expenses include a ~~non-cash~~stock-based compensation ~~component~~expense of $5,920,510 and $4,648,751 for 2018 and ~~$1,668,546 for~~ 2017, ~~and 2016,~~ respectively. The increase ~~in general and administrative expenses was~~is primarily ~~due~~attributable to ~~an increase in~~higher stock-based compensation expense ~~advisers' fees~~ and ~~non-cash~~ compensation ~~expense.~~

expense offset by savings in advisors' fees.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the ~~three-month periods ending~~three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $6,387,011 and ~~2016 was~~ $6,858,716, ~~and $4,902,857,~~ respectively. The ~~increase~~decrease in interest expense is ~~primarily~~mainly due to ~~higher~~the decrease in amortization of ~~deferred financing costs~~debt discount and debt ~~discount on~~issuance costs by $1.0 million resulting from the debt refinancing in December 2017 where the high interest bearing Second Lien Facility ~~and compounding~~was repaid in full, offset by an increase in the interest expense of ~~payment-in-kind interest~~$0.9 million on the ~~Second Lien Facility.~~

~~Our~~Ultraco Debt Facility, which was used for the acquisition of 10 Ultramax vessels.

The interest expense for the ~~six-month periods ending~~six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $12,648,080 and ~~2016 was~~ $13,303,747, ~~and $7,720,503,~~ respectively. The ~~increase~~decrease in interest expense is ~~primarily~~mainly due to the ~~payment-in-kind interest on our Second Lien Facility and higher~~decrease in amortization of ~~deferred financing costs~~debt discount and debt ~~discount.The~~issuance costs by $1.9 million resulting from the debt refinancing in December 2017 where the high interest ~~expense for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016 included only three months of payment-in-kindinterest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs because the~~bearing Second Lien Facility was ~~closed~~repaid in full offset by increase in the interest expense of $1.7 million on ~~March 30, 2016.~~

Athe Ultraco Debt Facility and $0.4 million due to increase in the LIBOR rate year over year. ~~mortization~~

Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense. These financing costs relate to costs associated with the ~~First Lien Facility,~~Norwegian Bond Debt, the ~~Second Lien Facility, Ultraco Debt Facility and Exit Financing Facility. The Company paid $3,086,947 ($2,936,009 paid in the six months ended June 30, 2016) during 2016 in connection with the~~New First Lien Facility and the ~~Second~~Ultraco Debt Facility.

We believe that our current financial resources, together with the undrawn revolving credit facility and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our ongoing business needs and other obligations over the next twelve months. Our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on many factors beyond our control including, among other things, continuing to improve the profitability of its operations and future cash flows, which contemplates an improvement in charter rates.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures relate to the purchase of vessels and capital improvements to our vessels, which are expected to enhance the revenue earning capabilities and safety of these vessels.

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, the other major capital expenditures include funding the Company’s program of regularly scheduled drydocking necessary to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. Although the Company has some flexibility regarding the timing of its drydocking, the costs are relatively predictable. The Company anticipates that vessels are to be drydocked every five years for vessels younger than 15 years and every two and a half years for vessels older than 15 years, accordingly, these expenses will be deferred and amortized over that period. Funding of these requirements is anticipated to be met with cash from operations. We anticipate that this process of recertification will require us to reposition these vessels from a discharge port to shipyard facilities, which will reduce our available days and operating days during that period.

Drydocking costs incurred are deferred and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the period through the date of the next scheduled drydocking for those vessels. In the ~~six-month period~~six months ended June 30, ~~2017, one~~2018, six of our vessels ~~was in~~completed drydock ~~(and remained~~and two vessels are still in drydock as of June 30, ~~2017)~~2018 and we incurred expenditures of ~~$341,350.~~$4,632,000. In the ~~six-month period~~six months ended June 30, ~~2016, six of our vessels were drydocked, and we incurred expenditures of $2,037,821 in drydocking related costs.~~2017, one vessel was drydocked. The following table represents certain information about the estimated costs for anticipated vessel drydockings in the next four quarters, along with the anticipated off-hire days:

~~Quarter Ending~~				~~Off-hire Days~~⁽¹⁾		~~Projected Costs~~⁽²⁾

Quarter Ending	Off-hire Days⁽¹⁾		Projected Costs⁽²⁾
September 30, ~~2017~~ 2018 (3)	57		56		$~~1.7~~3.2 million
December 31, ~~2017~~		2018	—		—
March 31, ~~2018~~ 2019	84		44		$~~1.3~~2.8 million
June 30, ~~2018~~ 2019	25		66		$~~1.9~~1.0 million

(1) Actual duration of drydocking will vary based on the condition of the vessel, yard schedules and other factors.

(2) Actual costs will vary based on various factors, including where the drydockings are actually performed.

(3)During the third quarter of 2018, the vessel Westport Eagle is undergoing repairs at a yard in China. The main engine crankshaft failed in service and is being replaced by the engine manufacturer. The cost of the repair is covered by hull and machinery insurance less the deductible of $100,000. The cause of the failure is unknown at this time and is being investigated by technical and scientific experts in the fields of strength of materials, metal fatigue and torsional analysis. The vessel is expected to be out of service for an estimated 70 days, and to return to service around September 15, 2018.
