The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017, the consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared onin accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the same basis as the annual consolidatedinstructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairlyfor a fair presentation of the Company’sinterim period results. These unaudited consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The financial data and the other information disclosedstatements should be read in these notes toconjunction with the consolidated financial statements related to these three and nine month periods are unaudited. Certain information and disclosuresnotes thereto included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted for the interim periods pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 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 vessels, the percentage completion of spot voyages and estimated fair value usedlosses on our trade receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications of Voyage revenue and Charter revenue have been made to prior periods to conform to current period presentation.

Leases
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Time charter in contracts
In February 2016,
The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the FASB issuedcharter hire payments as an ASU 2016-02, Accounting Standards Update for Leases. The updateexpense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee should recognizereflected as advance hire in the statementaccompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. As allowed by a practical expedient under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), the Company made an accounting policy election by class of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, to forego recognizing a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlyingright-of-use asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities.liability on its balance sheet. For the quarter ending June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any time charter in contracts with terms greater than 12 months, as such charter hire expense presented on the consolidated statements of income are lease expenses for chartered in contracts less than 12 months.

Time charter out contracts

Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreed rate per day. The charterer has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The Company determined that all time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of ASC 842 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.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had 1 vessel chartered to a customer under a time charter that contained a lease. This 1 lease's duration was 28 days. At June 30, 2022, lease payments due under this arrangement totaled approximately $125,000 and the time charter was due to be completed in 4 days.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had 15 vessels chartered to customers under time charters that contain leases. These 15 leases varied in original length from 24 days to 138 days. At June 30, 2021, lease payments due under these arrangements totaled

approximately $8,648,000 and each of the time charters were due to be completed in 65 days or less. The Company does not typically enter into charters for terms exceeding six months. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

RevenueRecognition

In May 2014,a voyage charter contract, the FASB issued an ASU 2014-09, Accounting Standards Updatecharterer 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 delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, with the amounts recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of 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, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principleCustomers because the Company, as the shipowner, retains 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.

During time charter agreements, the Company is paid to provide transportation services on a per day basis for a specified period of time. Revenues from time charters are earned and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter, the charterers have substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. As such, the Company has identified that time charter agreements contain a lease in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue is not earned when vessels are offhire.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Companies can apply the ASU immediately, however the guidance will only be available until December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that an entity should recognize revenueadopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. For most financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, loans and other instruments, this standard changes the current incurred loss model to depicta forward-looking expected credit loss model, which generally will result in the transferearlier recognition of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchangeallowances for those goods or services.losses. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2017. Management has organized a working group and is currently analyzing contracts with our customers covering the significant streamsCompany at the beginning of the Company's annual revenues under2023. Entities are required to apply 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.
While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, the Company's preliminary expectation is that revenue from vessels operating on time charter will continue to be recognized under current revenue recognition policies because the services being provided to its customers currently reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services, and because these arrangements qualify as single performance obligations that meet the criteria to recognize revenue over time, as the customer is simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits of these services. The performance obligation in a voyage charter is also the transportation service provided and also meets the criteria to recognize revenue over time. However, under the new standard, our expectation is that revenue for these voyages will be recognized over the period between load port and discharge port in contrast to the current recognition policy to recognize revenue from discharge port to discharge port. The Company also believes that under the new standard, it will recognize an asset from certain costs incurred to fulfill contracts that have not begun to load if they meet the criteria outlined in this update. Such assets will be amortized pro rata over the period of the contract. Neither of these changes is expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements because the number of open voyages at any point in time are not a significant portion of the annual total and the difference in revenue is expected to be only a small percentage of such voyage revenue. The Company will apply the new revenue standard on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of

January 1, 2018. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. The Company is prepared to implement the new revenue standard on the effective date and will follow recently issued guidance on practical expedients as part of our transition.

In November 2016, the FASB issued an ASU 2016-18 Accounting Standards Update for Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, thereby reducing the diversity in practice. Specifically, this Update addresses how to classify and present changes in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents that occur when there are transfers between cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and when there are direct cash receipts into restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents or direct cash payments made from restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company does not expect adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU 2017-12 Accounting Standards Update for Derivatives and Hedging. The amendments in this Update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the Update. All transition requirements and elections should be applied to hedging relationships existing on the date of adoption. The effect of adoption should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, an entity should apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the amendments in this Update. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively.effective date. The Company does not expect adoption of thisis currently assessing the new guidance to have a materialand its impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Long-lived Assets Impairment Considerations.Considerations

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying valuesamounts. If indicators of impairment are present, we perform an analysis of the Company’s vessels may not represent their fair market value or the amount that could be obtained by selling the vessel at any point in time because the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the pricing of new vessels, which tendanticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be cyclical. The carrying value of each group of vessels classified as held and used are reviewed for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a particular group may not be fully recoverable. In such instances, an impairment charge would be recognized if the estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to resultderived from the use of the group and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying value. Thisrelated long-lived assets. Our assessment is made at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets. The asset groups established by the Company are defined by vessel size and major characteristic or trade.



The significant factors and assumptions used inDuring the undiscounted projected net operating cash flow analysis include the Company’s estimatefirst quarter of future time charter equivalent "TCE" rates based on current rates under existing charters and contracts. When existing contracts expire,2022, the Company uses an estimated TCE based on actual results and extends these rates outdetermined that a triggering event occurred related to the endsale of the vessel’s useful life. TCE rates can be highly volatile, may affect the fair value of the Company’s vessels and may have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying amount of its fleet. Accordingly, the volatility is contemplated in the undiscounted projected net operating cash flow by using a sensitivity analysis based on percent changes in the TCE rates. The Company prepares a series of scenarios in an attempt to capture the range of possible trends and outcomes. Projected net operating cash flows are net of brokerage and address commissions and assume no revenue on scheduled offhire days. The Company uses the current vessel, operating expense budget, estimated costs of drydocking and historical general and administrative expenses as the basis for its expected outflows, and applies an inflation factor it considers appropriate. The net of these inflows and outflows, plus an estimated salvage value, constitutes the projected undiscounted future cash flows. If these projected cash flows do not exceed the carrying value exceeded its fair value. On April 20, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the asset group,m/v Bulk Pangaea for a total net consideration of $8.6 million after brokerage commissions. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company concluded that no triggering event had occurred during the during the second quarter of 2022 which would be recognized.require impairment testing.

DuringThe Company determined there were no triggering events present during the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, the Company did not identify any potential triggering events. At December 31, 2016, testing for recoverability indicated that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were higher than the carrying amount of each long-lived asset group, therefore, the Company did not recognize any loss on impairment.    2021 which would require impairment testing.

Note 5. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value MeasurementsNOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Interest-Rate Swaps
From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations on its variable rate debt. The Company was party to one interest rate swap, which was entered into in February 2011, as required by the 109 Long Wharf Construction to Term Loan agreement. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the interest rate was fixed at 6.63%. The swap was cancelled in conjunction with, and the outstanding balance was financed by, the 109 Long Wharf Commercial Term Loan in May 2016, which is discussed in Note 4.
The Company did not elect to designate the swap as a hedge at inception, pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in current earnings in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The aggregate change in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was a loss of $104,000 which was reflected in the unrealized (loss) gain on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 

Forward freight agreements

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and, when appropriate, hedges identified economic risk with appropriate derivative instruments, specifically forward freight agreements (FFAs). SuchThese economic hedges do not alwaysusually qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis. Between November 2016 and September 30, 2017, the Company entered into FFAs that were not designated for hedge accounting. The aggregate fair value of these FFAs at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were assets of approximately $675,000, which are included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets, and liabilities of approximately $21,000, respectively, which are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The change in the aggregate fair value of the FFAs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are a loss of approximately $379,000 and a gain of approximately $696,225, respectively, which are included in unrealized (loss) gain on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There were no open positions, and therefore no gain or loss in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.


Fuel Swap Contractsswap contracts


The Company continuously monitors the market volatility associated with bunker prices and seeks to reduce the risk of such volatility through a bunker hedging program. During 2017 and 2016, theThe Company enteredenters into various fuel swap contracts that wereare not designated for hedge accounting. accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis.

Interest rate cap

The aggregateCompany’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s forward freight agreements and fuel swap contracts are based on market prices obtained from an independent third-party valuation specialist based on published indices. Such quotes represent the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. The interest rate caps contracts are valued using analysis obtained from independent third party valuation specialists based on market observable inputs, representing Level 2 assets.

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value of these fuel swapson a recurring basis at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016 are assets of approximately $38,000 and $304,000, respectively, which are included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.2021:

Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements as a result of the risk factors and other factors detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written or oral forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts

The Company uses a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts when analyzing its performance.


These include revenue recognition, deferred revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, vessels and depreciation and long-lived assets impairment considerations, as defined above as well as the following:


Voyage Revenue. Voyage revenue is derived from voyage charters which involve the carriage of cargo from a load port to a discharge port.port, which is predetermined in each voyage contract. Gross revenue is calculated by multiplying the agreed rate per ton of cargo by the number of tons loaded. The Company directs how and for what purpose the vessel is used and therefore, these voyage contracts do not contain leases.


Charter Revenue. Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreeagreed rate per day. These time-charter arrangements contain leases because the lessee has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The operating lease component and the vessel operating expense non-lease component of a time-charter contract are reported as a single component.

Voyage Expenses. The Company incurs expenses for voyage charters, including bunkers (fuel), port charges, canal tolls, brokerage commissions and cargo handling operations, which are expensed as incurred.

Charter Expenses. The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the charter hire payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is reflected as advance hire in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. The Company does not record a right-of-use asset or lease liability for any arrangement less than one year.

20



Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses represent the cost to operate the Company’s owned vessels. Vessel operating expenses include crew hire and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes, other miscellaneous expenses, and technical management fees. These expenses are recognized as incurred. Technical management services include day-to-day vessel operations, performing general vessel maintenance, ensuring regulatory and classification society compliance, arranging the hire of crew, and purchasing stores, supplies, and spare parts.

Fleet Data. The Company believes that the measures for analyzing future trends in its results of operations consist of the following:

Shipping days. The Company defines shipping days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which its owned or chartered-in vessels are performing either a voyage charter (voyage days) or a time charter (time charter days).

Daily vessel operating expenses. The Company defines daily vessel operating expenses as vessel operating expenses divided by ownership days for the period. Vessel operating expenses include crew hire and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes, other miscellaneous expenses, and technical management fees.



Chartered in days. The Company defines chartered in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which it chartered in vessels from third party vessel owners.

Time Charter Equivalent ‘‘TCE’’ rates.rates. The Company defines TCE rates as total revenues less voyage expenses divided by the length of the voyage, which is consistent with industry standards. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in per-day amounts.

Business Overview

The dry bulk sector of the transportation and logistics industry is cyclical and volatile. Drybulkcan be volatile due to changes in supply of vessels and demand for transportation of dry bulk commodities. After reaching levels not seen in over a decade in 2021, the dry bulk freight market rates improved markedly from the fall of 2016 to March of this year, gave up some of the gainsremained strong in historical terms in the second quarter, then finished the third quarter at its highest in nearly three years. The increase in freight rates is due to various factors, including the improving global economy and increasing base metal and industrial commodity prices.first half of 2022. The Baltic Dry Index ("BDI"(“BDI”), a measure of dry bulk market performance, increasedaveraged 2,403 for the second quarter of 2022, compared to an average of 1,1623,001 for the thirdcomparable quarter of 2017,2021, and up approximately 24% from the first quarter of 2022.

We have historically experienced fluctuations in our results of operations on a quarterly and annual basis due to the volatility of the dry bulk sector. We expect to experience continued fluctuations in our operating results in the foreseeable future due to a variety of factors, including cargo demand for vessels, supply of vessels, competition, and seasonality.


TheQuarterly TCE Performance

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's strategy to charter in vessels to serve primarily contracted business means we limit our carried volume of chartered-in vessels, which shields us from losses we may incur under a long-term charter-in strategy, but will also have the effect of limiting upside in an increasing rate environment, when we charter-in vessels at higherTCE rates to meet the needs of this contracted business.

Unrealized (loss) gain on derivative instruments

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and bunker prices, and when appropriate, actively hedges identified economic risk that may impact the operating income of long-term cargo contracts and forward bookings with forward freight agreements and bunkers swaps. The utilization of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company's reported results from $9.2operations on a period-to-period basis as the Company marks these positions to market at the balance sheet date while settlement of the position and execution of the physical transaction may occur at a future date.

Loss on Sale and Leaseback of Vessels
The Company sold the m/v Bulk Destiny, one of two ultramax newbuildings delivered on January 7, 2017, and simultaneously chartered-back the vessel under a capital lease financing arrangement with the buyer. At inception of the lease, the Company recognized a loss of $4.3 million representing the difference between the delivered cost and the fair value of the vessel, as determined by independent ship brokers. The Company's joint venture partner absorbed 50% of this loss, which is allocated to non-controlling interests to arrivederivatives at net income attributable to Pangaea. The Company also sold the m/v Bulk Beothuk on June 6, 2017 and simultaneously chartered-back the vessel from the buyer under a capital lease. At inception of the lease, the Company recognized a loss of $4.9 million representing the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of the vessel.respective balance sheet dates.


Income from Operations
27




The Company has income from operations of $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is due to losses on sale and leaseback transactions totaling $9.3 million, without which there would be adjusted income from operations of $17.8 million. Total revenue increased 65% from $171.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $282.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which is due to improvement in the drybulk shipping market and a resulting increase in total shipping days. However, the increase in market rates was met with increasing bunker prices and increasing charter hire rates, as noted above, which lowered operating margins to a limited extent.

Interest Expense

The increase in interest expense is due to the lease of the m/v Bulk Destiny and the acquisition of the m/v Bulk Endurance, both in January 2017. In addition, the interest rates on certain loans were fixed at higher levels during 2016 and 2017 in order to mitigate the risk of further increases in LIBOR.

Unrealized (Loss) Gain on Derivative Instruments, Net

The Company entered into numerous freight forward agreements, or FFAs, between November 2016 and the June 2017, in order to manage the risk associated with increasing charter-hire rates due to improvement in the drybulk market. The total gain on these FFAs was approximately $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. There were no open positions and therefore no gain or loss on FFAs in nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company also enters into fuel swaps to manage the risk associated with fluctuating bunker prices. The loss on these swaps was approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to a gain of approximately $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income represents the $0.9 million settlement of a non-performance claim that had not previously been reserved, to the recovery of $0.5 million of expenses incurred in a litigation action that was indemnified by third parties, to other reductions in the reserve for uncollectible accounts, and to income from an unconsolidated subsidiary of $0.3 million.



Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

The decrease in income attributable to noncontrolling interests resulted predominantly from the $4.3 million loss on the sale and leaseback of the m/v Bulk Destiny, of which the former joint venture partner in this entity absorbed 50%. This was offset by an increase in net income of NBHC.

Significant accounting estimates


The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“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 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 the estimated fair value used in determining the estimated future cash flows used in its impairment analysis, the estimated salvage value used in determining depreciation expense, the estimated on the percentage completion of spot voyages and the allowances for doubtful accounts.

Long-lived Assets Impairment Considerations


The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying valuesamounts. If indicators of impairment are present, we perform an analysis of the Company’s vessels may not represent their fair market value or the amount that could be obtained by selling the vessel at any point in time because the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the pricing of new vessels. Historically, both charter rates and vessel values tendanticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be cyclical. The carrying value of each group of vessels (allocated by size, age and major characteristic or trade), which are classified as held and used by the Company, are reviewed for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a particular group may not be fully recoverable. In such instances, an impairment charge would be recognized if the estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to resultderived from the use of the group and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying value. Thisrelated long-lived assets. Our assessment is made at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets. The asset groups established by the Company are defined by vessel size and major characteristic or trade.


The significant factors and assumptions used inDuring the undiscounted projected net operating cash flow analysis include the Company’s estimatefirst quarter of future TCE rates based on current rates under existing charters and contracts. When existing contracts expire,2022, the Company uses an estimated TCE based on actual results and extends these rates outdetermined that a triggering event occurred related to the endsale of the vessel’s useful life. TCE rates can be highly volatile, may affect the fair value of the Company’s vessels and may have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to recovervessel, as the carrying amountvalue exceeded its fair value. On April 20, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of its fleet. Accordingly,agreement to sell the volatility is contemplated in the undiscounted projectedm/v Bulk Pangaea for a total net operating cash flow by usingconsideration of $8.6 million after brokerage commissions. As a sensitivity analysis based on percent changes in the TCE rates. The Company prepares a series of scenarios in an attempt to capture the range of possible trends and outcomes. Projected net operating cash flows are net of brokerage and address commissions and assume no revenue on scheduled offhire days. The Company uses the current vessel operating expense budget, estimated costs of drydocking and historical general and administrative expenses as the basis for its expected outflows, and applies an inflation factor it considers appropriate. The net of these inflows and outflows, plus an estimated salvage value, constitutes the projected undiscounted future cash flows. If these projected cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount of the asset group,result, we recorded an impairment charge equal toof $3.0 million in the difference between the carrying amountfirst quarter of 2022. The Company performed an impairment analysis on each asset group and the fair value of the group would be recognized.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company did not identify any potential triggering events. At December 31, 2016, testing for recoverability indicated thatconcluded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were higher than thetheir carrying amount of each long-lived asset group, therefore, the Company did not recognize anyand as such, no additional loss on impairment.    impairment was recognized. The Company concluded that no triggering event had occurred during the during the second quarter of 2022 which would require impairment testing.


The Company determined there were no triggering events present during the six months ended June 30, 2021 which would require impairment testing.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Cash Needs


The Company has historically financed its capital requirements with cash flow from operations, the issuance of common stock, proceeds from related party debt,non-controlling interests, and proceeds from long-term debt and finance lease financing arrangements. The Company has used its capital leases,primarily to fund operations, vessel acquisitions, and in June 2017, through a private placementthe repayment of common stock.debt and the associated interest expense. The Company may consider additional debt andor additional equity financing alternatives in the future.from time to time. However, if market conditions are negative,deteriorate, the Company may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms or at all. As a result, the Company may be unable to pursue opportunities to expand its business.

At SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016,2021, the Company had working capital of $22.4$115.3 million and a working capital deficit$72.2 million, respectively.

The improvement in working capital is duecash flows from operating activities increased compared to the acquisition of noncontrolling interestsame period in a consolidated joint venture in January 2017 and the resulting reduction in related party debt,prior year primarily due to the increase in cash from proceeds of common stock issuance, to the sale of the m/v Bulk Beothuk, and to cash generated from operations.


Considerations made by management in assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are its ability to consistently generate positive cash flowsincome from operations which were approximately $13.7as well as the impact of changes in working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $10.2 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $108.7 million for the same period in 2021.

Capital Expenditures
 
The Company’s capital expenditures relate to the purchase of vessels and lease of interests in vessels, and to capital improvements to its vessels which are expected to enhance the revenue earning capabilities and safety of these vessels. The Company’s owned or partially owned and leasedcontrolled fleet includes twoat June 30, 2022 includes: ten Panamax drybulk carriers four Supramax drybulk carriers, two Ultramax Ice-Class 1C and two Handymax drybulk carriers (both(six of which are Ice-Class 1A). The Company also has a one-third interest in a consolidated joint venture; eight Supramax drybulk carriers, three Ultramax drybulk carriers (Two of which owns sixare Ice-Class IC), and four Post Panamax Ice-ClassIce Class 1A drybulk carriers.vessels.
 
In addition to vessel acquisitions that the Company may undertake in future periods, its other major capital expenditures include funding its program of regularly scheduled drydockings necessary to make improvements to its vessels, as well as to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. This includes installation of ballast water treatment systems required under new regulations, the cost of which will be approximately $0.5 million to $0.7 million per vessel. The Company has some flexibility regarding the timing of dry docking, but the total cost is unpredictable. Funding expenses associated with these requirements will be met with cash from operations. The Company anticipates that this process of recertification will require it to reposition these vessels from a discharge port to shipyard facilities, which will reduce the Company’s available days and operating days during that period. The Company capitalized drydocking costs totaling approximately $4.9 million and $5.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company expensed drydocking costs of approximately $4,000 and $122,000, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 or December 31, 2016.2021.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
 
Interest Rate Risk    
The international shipping industry is capital intensive, requiringNo significant amountschanges to our market risk have occurred since December 31, 2021. For a discussion of investment providedmarket risks affecting us, refer to Part II, Item 7A—"Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" included in the form of long-term debt. Certain of the Company’s outstanding debt contain floating interest rates that fluctuate with changes in the financial markets and in particular changes in LIBOR. Increasing interest rates could increase the Company’s interest expense and adversely impact its future earnings. In the past, the Company has managed this risk by entering into interest rate swap agreements in which the Company exchanged fixed and variable interest rates basedAnnual Report on agreed upon notional amounts. The Company has used such derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and notForm 10-K for speculative or trading purposes. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any open interest rate swap agreements. The Company’s net effective exposure to floating interest rate fluctuations on its outstanding debt was $52.7 million and $46.8 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
The Company’s interest expense is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates, particularly LIBOR. As an indication of the extent of the Company’s sensitivity to interest rate changes, an increase in LIBOR of 1% would have decreased the Company’s net income and cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 by approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, based on the debt levels at the beginning of each period. The Company expects its sensitivity to interest rate changes to increase in the future if the Company enters into additional floating rate debt agreements in connection with its acquisition of additional vessels.
Forward Freight Agreements
The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and, when appropriate, hedges identified economic risk with appropriate derivative instruments, specifically forward freight agreements (FFAs). Such economic hedges do not always qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis. The aggregate fair value of FFAs at September 30, 2017 was an asset of $0.7 million and the aggregate fair value of FFAs at December 31, 2016 was a liability of approximately $21,000.
Fuel Swap Contracts

The Company continuously monitors the market volatility associated with bunker prices and seeks to reduce the risk of such volatility through a bunker hedging program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company entered into various fuel swap contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting. The aggregate fair value of these fuel swaps at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were assets of approximately $38,000 and $0.3 million, respectively.2021.
