(1) As a result of our bankruptcy we adopted fresh start reporting on July 9, 2014 in accordance with provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, “Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”). The period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 (“Genco Successor Company”) and the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 (“Genco Predecessor Company”) are distinct reporting periods as a result of our emergence from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014 as reported in our consolidated financial statements. Our financial condition and results of operations from and after July 9, 2014 are not comparable to the financial condition or results of operations reflected in its other historical financial statements shown due to the application of fresh start reporting.
(2) The net effect of all fresh start accounting adjustments and other reorganization items resulted in a loss of $1,013,250, which is reflected in the statement of operations fot the period January 1, 2014 to July 9, 2014.
(3)The statement of Operations includes a charge of $166,067 for impairment of goodwill, which is reflected in the statement of operations fot the period July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
(4) Amortization of capitalized interest incurred by the Predecessor for any ship that was revalued to fair market value upon emergence from Bankruptcy was eliminated.
(5) The ratio of earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, for the years ended December 31, 2017, December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, December 31, 2013, the Period from July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014 and the Period from Janaury 1, 2014 to July 9, 2014 were inadequate to cover fixed charges. The deficiancy of earnings indicated for each period would have been necessary to bring the ratio of earnings to fixed charges to 1.0.
