GENERAL INFORMATION
	1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“GS&T”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its subsidiary, Baltic Trading Limited (collectively, the “Company”).  The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.  GS&T is incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands and as of December 31, 2014, is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries: Genco Ship Management LLC; Genco Investments LLC; Genco RE Investments LLC; and the ship-owning subsidiaries as set forth below.  As of December 31, 2014, Genco Ship Management LLC is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of Genco Management (USA) Limited.
	Bankruptcy Filing
	On April 21, 2014 (the “Petition Date”), GS&T and its subsidiaries other than Baltic Trading Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors continued to operate their businesses in the ordinary course as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Through the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors implemented a Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Prepack Plan”) for which the Company solicited votes from certain classes of its creditors prior to commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Restructuring Support Agreement that the Debtors entered into with certain of its creditors on April 3, 2014.  The Company subsequently emerged from bankruptcy on July 9, 2014.
	The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to each of the following agreements or instruments:
		·		the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 20, 2007 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, the banks and other financial institutions named therein as lenders, Wilmington Trust, N.A., as successor administrative and collateral agent, and the other parties thereto, relating to approximately $1,055,912 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “2007 Credit Facility”);
		·		the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Aquitaine Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG Filiale Deutschlandgeschaft, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as mandated lead arrangers, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, DVB Bank SE, Deutsche Bank AG, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) as swap providers, and Deutsche Bank Luxembourg S.A. as agent for the lenders and the assignee, relating to approximately $175,718 of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$253 Million Term Loan Facility”);
		·		the Loan Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2010 (as amended to date), by and among the Company as borrower, Genco Ocean Limited and the other subsidiaries of the Company named therein as guarantors, the banks and financial institutions named therein as lenders, and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as agent and security trustee, relating to approximately $73,561 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and other expenses (the “$100 Million Term Loan Facility”);
		·		the Indenture and First Supplemental Indenture relating to $125,000 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest outstanding of the Company’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes (the “2010 Notes”) due August 15, 2015 (the “Indenture”); and
		·		the outstanding interest rate swap with DNB Bank ASA, relating to a liability position of $5,622.
	As a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, all indebtedness outstanding under the 2007 Credit Facility and the Indenture was accelerated and became due and payable, and indebtedness under the other agreements and instruments described above were accelerated and become due and payable upon notice to the Company, subject to an automatic stay of any action to collect, assert, or recover a claim against the Company or the other Debtors and the application of the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
	On July 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”), confirming the First Amended Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined below shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan.  On the July 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Debtors completed their financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan, and the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms.  References to “Successor Company” refer to the Company after July 9, 2014, after giving effect to the application of fresh-start reporting (see “Financial Statement Presentation” section below).  References to “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to July 9, 2014.
	Key components of the Plan included:
		·		The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2007 Credit Facility into 81.1% of the Successor Company Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2007 Credit Facility was terminated, and the liens and mortgages thereunder were released.  Refer to Note 10 — Debt for further information.
		·		The conversion of 100% of the Claims under the 2010 Notes into 8.4% of the Successor Company Common Stock (subject to dilution by the warrants issued under the Plan). On the Effective Date, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged.  Refer to Note 11 — Convertible Senior Notes for further information.
		·		A fully backstopped Rights Offering for approximately 8.7% of the Successor Company Common Stock, in which holders of 2007 Credit Facility Claims were entitled to subscribe for up to 80% of the Successor Company Common Stock offered, and holders of the 2010 Notes Claims were entitled to subscribe for up to 20% of the Successor Company Common Stock being offered under the Rights Offering for an aggregate subscription price of $100,000.
		·		The amendment and restatement of the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility as of the Effective Date, with extended maturities, a financial covenant holiday and certain other amendments, as discussed further in Note 10 - Debt.
		·		The cancellation of the common stock of the Predecessor Company as of the Effective Date, with the holders thereof receiving warrants to acquire shares of the Successor Company Common Stock. Each of the Successor Company’s Equity Warrants is exercisable for one share of the Successor Company’s Common Stock, and holders received an aggregate of 3,938,298 of the Successor Company’s Equity Warrants for the common stock of the Predecessor Company. The Successor Company’s Equity Warrants in the aggregate are exercisable for approximately 6% of the Successor Company Common Stock (subject to dilution).
		·		Reinstatement, non-impairment or payment in full in the ordinary course of business during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims, including Allowed Claims of trade vendors, suppliers, customers and charterers, per the approval by the Bankruptcy Court.
		·		The non-impairment of all other General Unsecured Claims under Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code.
		·		The establishment of the Genco Shipping & Trading Limited 2014 Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”), which provides for the distribution of the Successor Company’s MIP Primary Equity in the form of shares representing 1.8% of the Successor Company’s Common Stock and three tiers of the Successor Company’s MIP Warrants (“MIP Warrants”) with staggered strike prices based on increasing equity values to the participating officers, directors, and other management of the Successor Company. These awards were made on August 7, 2014.  Refer to Note 24 — Stock-Based Compensation.
	Registration Rights Agreement
	On the Effective Date, the Successor Company and the Registration Rights Parties entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provided the Registration Rights Parties who receive 10% or more of the Successor Company’s Common Stock under the Plan with demand and piggyback registration rights. All other Registration Rights Parties have piggyback registration rights only.
	Reorganization Value
	The Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court estimated the reorganization value of the Debtors to be $1.23 billion. This reorganization value was determined by, among other things, vessel appraisals and other valuation methodologies as well as the Debtors’ equity interests in Baltic Trading and Jinhui Shipping, $100,000 of cash invested through the Rights Offering and approximately $250,000 of debt projected to be on the balance sheet of the Debtors. It also assumed that the Debtors would issue approximately 61.7 million primary shares of New Genco Common Stock valued at $20.00 per share (prior to dilution) in order to satisfy claims pursuant to the Plan.
	The foregoing estimates of the post-confirmation equity value of the Debtors and the share price of New Genco Common Stock were based on a number of assumptions, including no material adverse changes in the spot rate market, no further ship arrests, the continuing employment of the Debtors’ vessels, the continuing service revenue from Baltic Trading and MEP, the Rights Offering, and other assumptions. Such valuation assumptions are not a prediction or reflection of post-confirmation trading prices of the Debtors’ common stock. Such securities may trade at substantially lower or higher prices because of a number of factors. The trading prices of securities issued under a plan of reorganization are subject to many unforeseen circumstances and therefore cannot be predicted.
	Successor Company Equity Warrant Agreement
	On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Plan, the Successor Company’s Equity Warrants totaling 3,938,298 were issued pursuant to the terms of the Successor Company’s Equity Warrant Agreement (the “Equity Warrants”). Each of the Equity Warrants has a 7-year term (commencing on the day following the Effective Date) and are exercisable for one share of the Successor Company’s Common Stock. The Equity Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $20.99 per share. The Successor Company’s Equity Warrant Agreement contains customary anti-dilution adjustments in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, dividend or other distributions (including, but not limited to, cash dividends), or business combination transaction.
	The Equity Warrants were distributed to holders of the common stock of the Predecessor Company, which was cancelled as of the Effective Date. Shares of common stock of the Predecessor Company issued to directors, officers and employees of Genco under compensatory plans that were unvested as of the Effective Date were deemed vested automatically on the Effective Date, so that all Equity Warrants received in exchange were therefore deemed vested.  Refer to Note 24 — Stock-Based Compensation for further information.
	Financial Statement Presentation
	Upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases on July 9, 2014, the Company adopted fresh-start reporting in accordance with provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, “Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”).  Upon adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Company’s assets and liabilities were recorded at their value as of the fresh-start reporting date.  The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities in conformance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” as of that date differed materially from the recorded values of its assets and liabilities as reflected in its historical consolidated financial statements.  In addition, the Company’s adoption of fresh-start reporting may materially affect its results of operations following the fresh-start reporting dates, as the Company will have a new basis in its assets and liabilities.  Consequently, the Company’s historical financial statements may not be reliable indicators of its financial condition and results of operations for any period after it adopted fresh-start reporting.  As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations subsequent to July 9, 2014 will not be comparable in many respects to our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations prior to July 9, 2014.
	Under ASC 852, fresh-start reporting is required upon emergence from Chapter 11 if (i) the value of the assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation is less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims; and (ii) holders of existing voting shares immediately before confirmation receive less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity.  Accordingly, the Company qualified for and adopted fresh-start reporting as of the Effective Date. Adopting fresh-start reporting results in a new reporting entity with no beginning retained earnings or deficit. The cancellation of all existing shares outstanding on the Effective Date and issuance of new shares of the reorganized entity caused a related change of control of the Company under ASC 852.
	The following fresh-start balance sheet illustrates the financial effects on the Company of the implementation of the Plan and the adoption of fresh-start reporting.  This fresh-start balance sheet reflects the effect of the completion of the transactions included in the Plan, including the issuance of equity and the settlement of old indebtedness.
	The effects of the Plan and fresh-start reporting on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet are as follows:

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Principles of consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which include the accounts of GS&T, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Baltic Trading, a subsidiary in which the Company owns a majority of the voting interests and exercises control.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Basis of reporting
	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Company believes that internally generated cash flow and cash on hand will be sufficient to fund the operations of the Company’s fleet, including its working capital requirements, for the next twelve months, subject to the resolution of the foregoing issue related to the Company’s credit facilities, refer to Note 10 — Debt.  The Company’s current and future liquidity will greatly depend upon the Company’s operating results. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its liquidity needs is subject to, and will be affected by; cash utilized in operations; the economic or business environment in which the Company operates; weakness in shipping industry conditions; the financial condition of the Company’s customers, vendors and service providers; the Company’s ability to comply with the financial and other covenants of its post-restructuring indebtedness; and other factors. Additionally, the Chapter 11 Cases, including the fact that the Company has been subject to bankruptcy proceedings, and related matters could negatively impact the Company’s financial condition.
	Business geographics
	The Company’s vessels regularly move between countries in international waters, over hundreds of trade routes and, as a result, the disclosure of geographic information is impracticable.
	Vessel acquisitions
	When the Company enters into an acquisition transaction, it determines whether the acquisition transaction was the purchase of an asset or a business based on the facts and circumstances of the transaction.  As is customary in the shipping industry, the purchase of a vessel is normally treated as a purchase of an asset as the historical operating data for the vessel is not reviewed nor is it material to the Company’s decision to make such acquisition.
	When a vessel is acquired with an existing time charter, the Company allocates the purchase price to the vessel and the time charter based on, among other things, vessel market valuations and the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired charters) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the charter terms and (ii) management’s estimate of the fair market charter rate, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the charter.  The capitalized above-market (assets) and below-market (liabilities) charters are amortized as a reduction or increase, respectively, to revenues over the remaining term of the charter.
	Segment reporting
	The Company has two reportable segments, GS&T and Baltic Trading, which are both engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.  Refer to Note 3 — Segment Information for further information.
	Revenue and voyage expense recognition
	Since the Company’s inception, revenues have been generated from time charter agreements, pool agreements and spot market-related time charters.  A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterer’s disposal for a set period of time during which the charterer may use the vessel in return for the payment by the charterer of a specified daily hire rate, including any ballast bonus payments received pursuant to the time charter agreement.  Spot market-related time charters are the same as other time charter agreements, except the time charter rates are variable and are based on a percentage of the average daily rates as published by the Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”).  Voyage revenues also include the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.
	In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer.  There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company.  At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses.  These differences in bunkers resulted in a net (gain) loss of $852 during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company.  During the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Predecessor Company recorded net (gains) losses of ($252), ($567) and ($1,714), respectively.  Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.
	The Company records time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided.  Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the term of the respective time charter agreement.  The Company records spot market-related time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided based on the rate determined based on the BDI for each respective billing period.  As such, the revenue earned by the Company’s vessels that are on spot market-related time charters is subject to fluctuations of the spot market.  The Company recognizes voyage expenses when incurred.
	Four of the Company’s vessels, the Genco Ocean, Genco Bay, Genco Avra and Genco Spirit, were chartered under spot market-related time charters which include a profit-sharing element.  The time charters for the Genco Ocean and Genco Bay ended during August 2013 and March 2013, respectively.  The time charters for the Genco Avra and Genco Spirit ended during March 2014 and November 2014, respectively.  Under these charter agreements, the rate for the spot market-related time charter was linked with a floor of $9 and a ceiling of $14 daily with a 50% profit sharing arrangement to apply to any amount above the ceiling.  The rate was based on 115% of the average of the daily rates reflected in the daily reports of the Baltic Handysize Index.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, eight and five of GS&T’s vessels were in vessel pools, respectively.  Additionally, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, five and four of Baltic Trading’s vessels were in vessel pools, respectively.  At December 31, 2014, GS&T and Baltic Trading had five and two vessels, respectively, operating in the Clipper Logger Pool, a vessel pool trading in the spot market for which Clipper Group acts as the pool manager.  Additionally, at December 31, 2014, GS&T and Baltic Trading had two and three vessels, respectively, operating in the Bulkhandling Handymax A/S Pool, a vessel pool trading in the spot market for which Torvald Klaveness acts as pool manager.  Lastly, as of December 31, 2014, GS&T had one vessel operating in the Navig8 Bulk Pool, a vessel pool trading in the spot market for which Navig8 Inc. acts as the pool manager.  At December 31, 2013, GS&T and Baltic Trading had two and two vessels, respectively, operating in the Clipper Logger Pool.  Additionally, at December 31, 2013, Baltic Trading had two vessels operating in the Bulkhandling Handymax A/S Pool.  Lastly, at December 31, 2013, GS&T had three vessels operating in the LB/IVS Pool, a vessel pool trading in the spot market for which Lauritzen Bulkers A/S acts as the pool manager. Under pool arrangements, the vessels operate under a time charter agreement whereby the cost of bunkers and port expenses are borne by the pool and operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.  Since the members of the pool share in the revenue less voyage expenses generated by the entire group of vessels in the pool, and the pool operates in the spot market, the revenue earned by these vessels is subject to the fluctuations of the spot market.  The Company recognizes revenue from these pool arrangements based on its portion of the net distributions reported by the relevant pool, which represents the net voyage revenue of the pool after voyage expenses and pool manager fees.
	Other operating income
	During the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014, the Successor Company recorded other operating income of $530.  During the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Predecessor Company recorded other operating income of $0, $121 and $265 respectively.  Other operating income recorded by the Successor Company during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 and by the Predecessor Company during the year ended December 31, 2012 consists of $530 and  $263, respectively, related to installments due from Samsun Logix Corporation (“Samsun”) pursuant to the rehabilitation plan which was approved by the South Korean courts.  Other operating income recorded by the Predecessor Company during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 also included $21 and $2, respectively, related to the settlement due from Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”) pursuant to the rehabilitation plan which was approved by the South Korean courts.  Lastly, other operating income during the year ended December 31, 2013 included $100 related to the receipt of 3,355 shares of stock of KLC as part of the aforementioned rehabilitation plan.  This investment has been designated as Available for Sale (“AFS”). Refer to Note 22 — Commitments and Contingencies for further information regarding the bankruptcy settlements with Samsun and KLC and Note 7 — Investments for further information regarding the investment in KLC shares.
	Due from charterers, net
	Due from charterers, net includes accounts receivable from charters, net of the provision for doubtful accounts.  At each balance sheet date, the Company records the provision based on a review of all outstanding charter receivables.  Included in the standard time charter contracts with the Company’s customers are certain performance parameters which, if not met, can result in customer claims.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had a reserve of $1,588 and $632, respectively, against the due from charterers balance and an additional accrual of $662 and $536, respectively, in deferred revenue, each of which is primarily associated with estimated customer claims against the Company including vessel performance issues under time charter agreements.
	Revenue is based on contracted charterparties.  However, there is always the possibility of dispute over terms and payment of hires and freights.  In particular, disagreements may arise concerning the responsibility of lost time and revenue.  Accordingly, the Company periodically assesses the recoverability of amounts outstanding and estimates a provision if there is a possibility of non-recoverability.  The Company believes its provisions to be reasonable based on information available.
	Inventories
	Inventories consist of consumable bunkers, lubricants and victualling stores, which are stated at the lower of cost or market value and are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.  Cost is determined by the first in, first out method.
	Vessel operating expenses
	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 other miscellaneous expenses.  Vessel operating expenses are recognized when incurred.
	Vessels, net
	Vessels, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage.  The Company also capitalizes interest costs for a vessel under construction as a cost that is directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel.  Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard.  Depreciation expense for vessels for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company was $36,265.  Depreciation expense for vessels for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for the Predecessor Company was $71,756, $133,562, and $133,111, respectively.
	Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value.  The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment.  Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense.  Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight tons (lwt).  Effective July 9, 2014, on the Effective Date, the Company increased the estimated scrap value of the vessels from $245 per lwt to $310 per lwt prospectively based on the 15-year average scrap value of steel.  The change in the estimated scrap value will result in a decrease in depreciation expense over the remaining life of the vessel assets.  During the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $1,540 for the Successor Company. The decrease in depreciation expense resulted in a $0.03 change to the basic and diluted net loss per share during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014.  The basic and diluted net loss per share would have been ($3.05) per share if there was no change in the estimated scrap value.
	Fixed assets, net
	Fixed assets, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are based on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the specific asset placed in service.  The following table is used in determining the typical estimated useful lives:
	Description	Useful lives
	Leasehold improvements	Lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or life of the lease
	Furniture, fixtures & other equipment	5 years
	Vessel equipment	2-15 years
	Computer equipment	3 years
	Depreciation and amortization expense for fixed assets for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company was $119.  Depreciation and amortization expense for fixed assets for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014  and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for the Predecessor Company was $458, $1,481 and $888, respectively.
	Deferred drydocking costs
	The Company’s vessels are required to be drydocked approximately every 30 to 60 months for major repairs and maintenance that cannot be performed while the vessels are operating.  The Company defers the costs associated with the drydockings as they occur and amortizes these costs on a straight-line basis over the period between drydockings.  Costs deferred as part of a vessel’s drydocking include actual costs incurred at the drydocking yard; cost of travel, lodging and subsistence of personnel sent to the drydocking site to supervise; and the cost of hiring a third party to oversee the drydocking.  If the vessel is drydocked earlier than originally anticipated, any remaining deferred drydock costs that have not been amortized are expensed at the end of the next drydock.
	Amortization expense for drydocking for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company was $330.  Amortization expense for drydocking for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for the Predecessor Company was $3,738, $5,700, and $5,064, respectively.  All other costs incurred during drydocking are expensed as incurred.
	Goodwill
	The Company follows the provisions of ASC Subtopic 350-20, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350-20”).  This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested for impairment at least annually or when there is a triggering event and written down with a charge to operations when the carrying amount of the reporting unit that includes goodwill exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the reporting unit’s implied goodwill, such excess must be written off.
	The Company recorded Goodwill of $166,067 upon adoption of fresh-start reporting in accordance with provisions of ASC 852 as of the Effective Date.  Pursuant to the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing performed as of December 31, 2014, it was determined that the entire amount of this goodwill was impaired.  Refer to Note 5 — Goodwill Impairment.
	Impairment of long-lived assets
	The Company follows ASC Subtopic 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360-10”), 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 amounts.  If indicators of impairment are present, the Company performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived assets.  If the carrying value of the related asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to its fair value.  Various factors including anticipated future charter rates, estimated scrap values, future drydocking costs and estimated vessel operating costs are included in this analysis.
	For the periods from July 9 to December 31, 2014 and from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no impairment charges were recorded on the Company’s long-lived assets.
	As part of fresh-start reporting, the Company revalued its vessel assets at their fair values as of the Effective Date and the losses were recorded in Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operation.
	Deferred financing costs
	Deferred financing costs, included in other assets, consist of fees, commissions and legal expenses associated with securing loan facilities and other debt offerings and amending existing loan facilities.  These costs are amortized over the life of the related debt and are included in interest expense.
	Cash and cash equivalents
	The Company considers highly liquid investments such as money market funds and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Investments
	The Company holds an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (“Jinhui”) and in KLC.  Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping.  KLC is a marine transportation service company which operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products.  The investments in Jinhui and KLC have been designated as AFS and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).  The Company classifies the investments as current or noncurrent assets based on the Company’s intent to hold the investments at each reporting date.
	Investments are reviewed quarterly to identify possible other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with ASC Subtopic 320-10, “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC 320-10”).  When evaluating its investments, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below the cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, the underlying net asset value of the issuers assets and liabilities, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market value.  Should the decline in the value of any investment be deemed to be other-than-temporary, the investment basis would be written down to fair market value, and the write-down would be recorded to earnings as a loss.  Refer to Note 7 — Investments.
	Income taxes
	Pursuant to Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended) (the “Code”), qualified income derived from the international operations of ships is excluded from gross income and exempt from U.S. federal income tax if a company engaged in the international operation of ships meets certain requirements (the “Section 883 exemption”).  Among other things, in order to qualify, the Company must be incorporated in a country that grants an equivalent exemption to U.S. corporations and must satisfy certain qualified ownership requirements.
	GS&T is incorporated in the Marshall Islands.  Pursuant to the income tax laws of the Marshall Islands, GS&T is not subject to Marshall Islands income tax.  The Marshall Islands has been officially recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a qualified foreign country that currently grants the requisite equivalent exemption from tax.  GS&T is not taxable in any other jurisdiction, with the exception of Genco Management (USA) Limited as noted below.
	GS&T will qualify for the Section 883 exemption if, among other things, (i) GS&T stock is treated as primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States (the publicly traded test”), or (ii) GS&T satisfies one of two other ownership tests.  Under applicable Treasury Regulations, the publicly-traded test cannot be satisfied in any taxable year in which persons who actually or constructively own 5% or more of our stock (“5% shareholders”), together own 50% or more of GS&T’s stock for more than half the days in such year (the “five percent override rule”), unless an exception applies.
	Based on the ownership and trading of GS&T stock in 2014, management believes that GS&T satisfied the publicly traded test and qualified for the Section 883 exemption in 2014.  However, as a result of the restructuring of GS&T’s indebtedness pursuant to the Plan, 5% shareholders may beneficially own more than 50% of GS&T stock for more than half of 2015.  As a result, the five percent override rule may apply, and management believes that GS&T would have significant difficulty in satisfying an exception thereto. It is also not clear whether GS&T will satisfy one of the other two ownership tests.  Thus, GS&T may not qualify for the Section 883 exemption in 2015. Even if GS&T does qualify for the Section 883 exemption in 2015, there can be no assurance that changes and shifts in the ownership of GS&T stock by 5% shareholders will not preclude GS&T from qualifying for the Section 883 exemption in future taxable years.
	If GS&T does not qualify for the Section 883 exemption, GS&T’s U.S. source shipping income, i.e., 50% of its gross shipping income attributable to transportation beginning or ending in the U.S. (but not both beginning and ending in the U.S.) would be subject to a 4% tax without  allowance for deductions (the “U.S. gross transportation tax”).
	Baltic Trading is also incorporated in the Marshall Islands and its stock is primarily traded on an established securities market in the U.S.  However, GS&T has indirectly owned shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock which has provided GS&T with over 50% of the combined voting power of all classes of Baltic Trading’s voting stock since Baltic Trading’s IPO was completed on March 15, 2010.  As a result, Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock will not be treated as regularly traded and Baltic Trading will not satisfy the publicly traded test (and cannot satisfy one of the other two ownership tests).  Thus, Baltic Trading does not qualify for a Section 883 exemption. As such, Baltic Trading is subject to U.S. gross transportation income tax on its U.S. source shipping income.
	During the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014, Baltic Trading had U.S. source shipping income of $450.  Baltic Trading’s estimated U.S. gross transportation income tax expense for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 was $18.  During the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Baltic Trading had U.S. source shipping income of $965, $832 and $690, respectively.  Baltic Trading’s U.S. gross transportation income tax expense for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $39, $34 and $28, respectively.
In addition to GS&T’s shipping income and pursuant to certain agreements, GS&T technically and commercially manages vessels for Baltic Trading, and provides technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for fees.  These management services are performed by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), which has elected to be classified (and taxed) as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  As such, Genco (USA) is subject to U.S. federal net income tax (currently imposed at graduated rates of up to 35%) on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these management services.  Genco (USA) has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the Company and Genco Ship Management LLC, collectively “Manco,” pursuant to which Genco (USA) agrees to reimburse Manco for the costs incurred by Genco (USA) for the use of Manco’s personnel and services in connection with the provision of management services for both Baltic Trading and MEP’s vessels.
Total revenue earned by the Successor Company for management services during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 was $3,893, of which $2,309 was eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable net income of $2,178 associated with these activities for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014. This resulted in estimated U.S. federal net income tax expense of $978 for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014.
Total revenue earned by the Predecessor Company for management services during the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $3,857, $7,856 and $6,110, respectively, of which $2,156, $4,571 and $2,816, respectively, was eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable net income of $1,723 associated with these activities for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014.  This resulted in estimated U.S. federal net income tax expense of $776 for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable net income of $4,235 associated with these activities for the year ended December 31, 2013.  This resulted in estimated U.S. federal net income tax expense of $1,864 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable net income of $2,655 associated with these activities for the year ended December 31, 2012.  This resulted in estimated U.S. federal net income tax expense of $1,194 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned.  These amounts are recognized as income when earned.  Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues.  Refer to “Revenue and voyage expense recognition” above for description of the Company’s revenue recognition policy.
Comprehensive income
The Company follows ASC Subtopic 220-10, “Comprehensive Income” (“ASC 220-10”), which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.  Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and amounts related to the Company’s interest rate swaps accounted for as hedges, as well as unrealized gains or losses associated with the Company’s AFS investments.
Nonvested stock awards
The Company follows ASC Subtopic 718-10, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718-10”), for nonvested stock issued under its equity incentive plans.  Stock-based compensation costs from nonvested stock have been classified as a component of additional paid-in capital.
Accounting estimates
The preparation of 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates include vessel valuations, the valuation of amounts due from charterers, performance claims, residual value of vessels, useful life of vessels and the fair value of derivative instruments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are amounts due from charterers, cash and cash equivalents, deposits on vessels and interest rate swap agreements.  With respect to amounts due from charterers, the Company attempts to limit its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations and, when deemed necessary, requires letters of credit, guarantees or collateral.  The Successor Company earned 100% of revenues from 44 customers during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014.  The Predecessor Company earned 100% of revenues from 33 customers during the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014, 48 customers during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 43 customers during the year ended December 31, 2012.  Management does not believe significant risk exists in connection with the Company’s concentrations of credit at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
For the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company, there were two customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of voyage revenues; Cargill International S.A., including its subsidiaries (“Cargill”) and Swissmarine Services S.A., including its subsidiaries (“Swissmarine”), which represented 17.06% and 22.52% of voyage revenues, respectively. For the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 for the Predecessor Company, there were two customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of voyage revenues; Cargill and Swissmarine, which represented 19.37% and 20.67% of voyage revenues, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013 for the Predecessor Company, there were three customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of voyage revenues; Cargill, Swissmarine and Pacific Basin Chartering Ltd., which represented 21.45%, 18.73% and 10.30% of voyage revenues, respectively.  For the year ended December 31, 2012 for the Predecessor Company, there was one customer that individually accounted for more than 10% of voyage revenues, Cargill, which represented 31.27% of voyage revenues.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, deposits on vessels consist primarily of progress payments due by Baltic Trading to the shipyard as per the newbuilding contracts with Yangfan Group Co., Ltd.  These payments are not held in an escrow account; however, Baltic Trading has a refund guarantee with the Bank of China in the case that Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. does not perform as required by the newbuilding contracts.  Refer to Note 6 — Vessel Acquisitions for further information.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company maintains all of its cash and cash equivalents with three and four financial institutions, respectively.  None of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances is covered by insurance in the event of default by these financial institutions.
At December 31, 2013, the Company had four interest rate swap agreements with DnB Bank ASA to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates related to the 2007 Credit Facility.  None of the interest rate swap agreements were covered by insurance in the event of default by this financial institution.  On April 30, 2014, the remaining interest rate swap agreement was terminated by DNB Bank ASA and a secure claim was filed with the Bankruptcy Court.  Refer to Note 1 — General Information for additional information regarding defaults related to the interest rate swap.  There were no interest rate swaps held by the Company at December 31, 2014.
Fair value of financial instruments
The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, such as amounts due to / due from charterers, accounts payable and long-term debt, approximate their individual carrying amounts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 due to their short-term maturity or the variable-rate nature of the respective borrowings under the credit facilities.
The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount the Company would receive or have to pay in order to terminate these agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets and creditworthiness of the Company for liabilities.  See Note 14 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional disclosure on the fair values of long term debt, convertible senior notes, derivative instruments, and AFS securities.
Derivative financial instruments
Interest rate risk management
The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes.  The Company’s objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on its earnings and cash flow in relation to borrowings primarily for the purpose of acquiring drybulk vessels.  These borrowings are subject to a variable borrowing rate.  Up until the Effective Date, the Company used pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps to manage future interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rate obligations.  These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of future variable rate interest payments and were tested for effectiveness on a quarterly basis.  Refer to Note 12 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements for further information regarding the interest rate swaps that were held by the Company prior to the Effective Date.
The differential to be paid or received for the effectively hedged portion of any swap agreement was recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred.  Additionally, the changes in value for the portion of the swaps that were effectively hedging future interest payments were reflected as a component of AOCI.
For the interest rate swaps that are not designated as an effective hedge, the change in the value and the rate differential to be paid or received was recognized as other expense and is listed as a component of other (expense) income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 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 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”), to improve the transparency of changes in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and items reclassified out of accumulated other income (loss) (“AOCI”).  The amendments in ASU 2013-02 are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than separately disclosing in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements amounts reclassified out of AOCI and the individual line items in the  Consolidated Statement of Operations that are affected.  The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the impact of adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Refer to Note 13 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for additional disclosure.

	3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
	The Company determines its reportable segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make decisions about allocating the Company’s resources.  Based on this information, the Company has two reportable operating segments, GS&T and Baltic Trading.  Both GS&T and Baltic Trading are engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.  GS&T and Baltic Trading seek to deploy their vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market. Segment results are evaluated based on net (loss) income.  Additionally, the debt covenants for the credit facilities are measured separately for GS&T and Baltic Trading.  The accounting policies applied to the reportable segments are the same as those used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  As a result of the adoption of fresh-start reporting on the Effective Date, the cost basis for certain of Baltic Trading’s assets were revalued and are reflected in the Baltic Trading balances in the segment information reported below.
	The following table presents a reconciliation of total voyage revenue from external (third party) customers for the Company’s two operating segments to total consolidated voyage revenue from external customers for the Successor Company for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 and for the Predecessor Company for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Goodwill Impaired
Goodwill Impairment
	5 — GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT
	ASC 350-20 bases the accounting for goodwill on the reporting units of the combined entity. The Company has two reporting units as defined by criteria in ASC 350-20, GS&T and Baltic Trading.
	The Company recorded Goodwill of $166,067 in adopting fresh-start reporting in accordance with provisions of ASC 852 as of the Effective Date, which was allocated to its two reporting units based on their relative fair values as of that date.
	ASC 350-20 provides guidance for impairment testing of goodwill, which is not amortized. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. The first step is a screen for potential impairment and the second step measures the amount of impairment, if any. The first step involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered unimpaired. Conversely, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of its existing assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The unallocated portion of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss, equivalent to the difference, is recorded as a reduction of goodwill and a charge to operating expense.
	In the Company’s annual test of goodwill for impairment on December 31, 2014, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting units to which its goodwill had been allocated. For this purpose the Company used the trailing 10-year industry average rates for each vessel class, over the remaining useful life of each vessel, recognizing that the transportation drybulk products is cyclical in nature and is subject to wide fluctuation in rates, and management believes the use of a 10-year average is the best measure of future rates over the remaining useful life of the Company’s fleet. Also for this purpose, the Company uses a utilization rate based on the Company’s historic average.  In addition, the Company expects to incur the following costs over the remaining useful lives of the vessels in the Company’s fleet:
		·	Vessel operating costs based on historic and budgeted costs adjusted for inflation,
		·	Drydocking costs based on historic costs adjusted for inflation, and
		·	General and administrative costs adjusted for inflation.
	The more significant factors which could impact management’s assumptions regarding voyage revenues, drydocking costs and general and administrative expenses include, without limitation: (a) loss or reduction in business from the Company’s significant customers; (b) changes in demand; (c) material declines in rates in the tanker market; (d) changes in production of or demand for drybulk products, generally or in particular regions; (e) greater than anticipated levels of new building orders or lower than anticipated rates of scrapping; (f) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the drybulk industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international organizations such as the International Maritime Organization and the European Union or by individual countries; (g) actions taken by regulatory authorities; and (h) increases in costs including without limitation: crew wages, insurance, provisions, repairs and maintenance.
	Step 1 of impairment testing as of December 31, 2014 consisted of determining and comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, calculated by weighting discounted expected future cash flows, the fair value of the vessels and other assets owned by the reporting unit and the fair value of the reporting units based on the public trading price of each reporting unit, to the carrying value of each reporting unit. Based on performance of this test, it was determined that the goodwill allocated to each reporting unit may be impaired.
	The Company then undertook the second step of the goodwill impairment test which involves the procedures discussed above. For purposes of determining the fair value of each reporting unit, the Company ascribed a weight of 75% to a valuation method based on the fair value of the reporting unit’s net assets; and 25% to the valuation method that utilized the public trading price of each reporting unit.  There was no weight ascribed to a third valuation methodology considered by management, which was the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation method due to the significant volatility in the drybulk rate market and the values derived by applying the DCF valuation method were not consistent with the other values derived in applying the other two valuation methodologies considered.
	As a result of this testing, management determined that all of the goodwill allocated to the two reporting units was impaired, which resulted in a write-off at December 31, 2014 of $166,067.  This impairment is attributable to the progressive decline in vessel charter rates that occurred from the Effective Date to the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test date of December 31, 2014, which included significant declines during the fourth quarter of 2014, which affected both the reporting units vessel values and their publicly traded stock prices.
	Other than goodwill, the Company does not have any other intangible assets that are not amortized.

	The computation of basic net (loss) income per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  The computation of diluted net (loss) income per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards (refer to Note 24 — Stock-Based Compensation), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive.  Of the 1,110,600  and 0 nonvested shares outstanding at December 31, 2014 and July 9, 2014 for the Successor Company and Predecessor Company, respectively (refer to Note 24 — Stock-Based Compensation), all are anti-dilutive.  The Successor Company’s diluted net (loss) income per share will also reflect the assumed conversion of the Equity Warrants and MIP Warrants issued by the Successor Company if the impact is dilutive under the treasury stock method.  The Predecessor Company’s diluted net (loss) income per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Predecessor Company’s convertible debt if the impact is dilutive under the “if converted” method. The impact of the shares convertible under the Predecessor Company’s convertible notes is excluded from the computation of diluted income per share when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

	Bankruptcy Proceedings
	To allow discussions with the Company’s creditors concerning the Company’s restructuring to continue into April 2014 without the need to file for immediate bankruptcy relief, on March 31, 2014, the Company entered into agreements with certain of the lenders under our 2007 Credit Facility, our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, and our $253 Million Term Loan Facility (our “Credit Facilities”) to obtain waivers or forbearances with respect to certain potential or actual events of default as of March 31, 2014 as follows (the “Relief Agreements”):
		·		not making the scheduled amortization payment on March 31, 2014 under our 2007 Credit Facility;
		·		not meeting the consolidated interest ratio covenant for the period ended March 31, 2014;
		·		not meeting the maximum leverage ratio covenant for the period ending March 31, 2014;
		·		not meeting the collateral maintenance test under the 2007 Credit Facility;
		·		not meeting the minimum cash balance covenant under the 2007 Credit Facility;
		·		not furnishing audited financial statements to the lenders within 90 days after year end for the year ended December 31, 2013;
		·		a cross-default with respect to our outstanding interest rate swap with respect to the foregoing;
		·		cross-defaults among our credit facilities with respect to the foregoing; and
		·		any related defaults or events of default resulting from the failure to give notice with respect to any of the foregoing.
	The Relief Agreement for our 2007 Credit Facility provided that the agent and consenting lenders would forbear to exercise their rights and remedies through 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2014 with respect to the foregoing potential or actual events of default, subject to earlier termination if a subsequent event of default occurs under our credit agreements other than those described above or if we breach the terms of the Relief Agreement. The Relief Agreements for our other two Credit Facilities provided that the agent and lenders waived through 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2014 the foregoing potential or actual events of default, subject to earlier termination if a subsequent event of default occurs under our credit agreements or if we breach the terms of the Relief Agreements. Notwithstanding such waivers and forbearances, the fact that we did not make the scheduled amortization payment on March 31, 2014 constituted an event of default under our currently outstanding interest rate swap. In addition, under the indenture and supplemental indenture (the “Indenture”) governing our 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes issued on July 27, 2010 (the “2010 Notes”), the Company’s failure to make such payment would constitute an event of default under the Indenture if the Company failed to cure such default within 30 days after notice from the trustee under the Indenture.
	On April 1, 2014, the Company entered into new agreements with the other parties to the Relief Agreements that extended the expiration of the forbearances and waivers under the Relief Agreements from 11:59 p.m. on April 1, 2014 to 11:59 p.m. on April 21, 2014. Also, the forbearances and waivers would have terminated if a definitive agreement for the Company’s restructuring was not effective by 11:59 p.m. on April 4, 2014. The Company avoided this termination through our entry into the Support Agreement. Such new agreements are otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Relief Agreements.
	As of July 9, 2014, the Effective Date, the 2007 Credit Facility was terminated and the liens and mortgages related thereto were released as part of the Plan.  Refer to the “Bankruptcy Filing” section of Note 1 — General Information for further information regarding the Chapter 11 Cases.
	August 2012 Credit Facility Agreements
	On August 1, 2012, the Company entered into agreements (the “August 2012 Agreements”) to amend or waive certain provisions of the agreements for the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility (as defined below).  The agreements implemented, among other things, the following:
		·		The waiver of the Company’s compliance with its existing maximum leverage ratio covenant and minimum permitted consolidated interest ratio covenant that commenced on October 1, 2011 and ends on and includes March 31, 2013 was extended to end on and include December 31, 2013 (which we refer to as the extended waiver period).
		·		The gross interest-bearing debt to total capital covenant which originally ended on and included March 31, 2013 was extended to end on and include December 31, 2013.  This covenant limits the ratio of the Company’s interest-bearing indebtedness to the sum of its interest-bearing indebtedness and its consolidated net worth in accordance with GAAP to 62.5% on the last day of any fiscal quarter during the waiver period.
		·		Scheduled amortization payments through and including the quarter ending December 31, 2013 were deferred until the final payment at maturity under the 2007 Credit Facility and prepaid under the other two credit facilities.  The next scheduled amortization payments under these facilities will be due in the first quarter of 2014 in the aggregate principal amount of $55,193.
		·		Commencing September 30, 2012, the Company was to repay the 2007 Credit Facility on a quarterly basis using excess cash, defined as the balance over $100,000 in the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ accounts pledged under the 2007 Credit Facility.  Of such repayments, 25% would be allocated to the final payment at maturity, and 75% will be applied entirely against each successive scheduled mandatory principal repayment beginning with the payment due March 31, 2014.  Certain other mandatory repayments under the existing terms of this facility as well as voluntary prepayments will be applied in the same manner.  These obligations continued until the later of December 31, 2013 and the date on which the appraised value of certain mortgaged vessels is equal to at least 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s loans, letters of credit and certain hedge obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility.
		·		The Company and its subsidiaries (other than Baltic Trading and its subsidiaries) would not increase the amount of principal indebtedness currently outstanding under each of its three credit agreements or change their maturity dates.
		·		Indebtedness that the Company and its subsidiaries (other than Baltic Trading and its subsidiaries) may incur in connection with vessel acquisitions will be limited to 60% of the lesser of the vessel’s acquisition cost and fair market value.  Any newly acquired vessel will subject to a security interest under the 2007 Credit Facility.
		·		The Applicable Margin over LIBOR payable on the principal amount outstanding under the 2007 Credit Facility increased from 2.0% to 3.0% per annum.
		·		The minimum cash balance required under the 2007 Credit Facility increased from $500 to $750 per vessel mortgaged under the 2007 Credit Facility.
		·		The Company agreed to grant additional security for its obligations under the 2007 Credit Facility, consisting of a pledge of the Class B Stock of Baltic Trading held by Genco Investments LLC and a second priority security interest in vessels pledged under its other two credit facilities or in connection with any new indebtedness (excluding in each case vessels owned by Baltic Trading and its subsidiaries).
		·		Consenting lenders under each of the three credit facilities received an upfront fee of 0.25% on the amount of outstanding loans.
	As required under the August 2012 Agreements, the Company prepaid $57,893 under its 2007 Credit Facility, $30,450 under its $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and $11,538 under its $100 Million Term Loan Facility on August 1, 2012.  The prepayment under the 2007 Credit Facility was applied to the final payment due under the facility.  The prepayments under the other two facilities were applied in order of maturity and fulfilled all scheduled amortization payments through December 31, 2013 under these facilities.  In addition, lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility will receive a fee equal to 1.25% of the principal amount outstanding following such prepayment, or $13,199, on the earlier date of the maturity date of this facility or the date on which all obligations under this facility have been paid in full.  The $13,199 has been recorded as current interest payable in current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 which is consistent with the classification of the principal amount of the 2007 Credit Facility, see “2007 Credit Facility” section below for further information.
	December 2011 Credit Facility Agreements
	On December 21, 2011, the Company entered into agreements (the “December 2011 Agreements”) to amend or waive provisions of the 2007 Credit Facility, the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility.  The aforementioned credit facilities are explained in further detail below.  The agreements implemented, among other things, the following:
		·		The Company’s compliance with its existing maximum leverage ratio covenant was waived for a period starting on October 1, 2011 and ending on (and including) March 31, 2013, or the waiver period. This covenant governs the ratio of the Company’s net debt to EBITDA (as such term is defined in the credit agreements).
		·		The Company’s compliance with its existing minimum permitted consolidated interest ratio covenant is also waived for the waiver period. This covenant governs the ratio of the Company’s EBITDA to consolidated interest expense.
		·		A new gross interest-bearing debt to total capital covenant applies to the Company for the duration of the waiver period. This covenant limits the ratio of the Company’s interest-bearing indebtedness to the sum of its interest-bearing indebtedness and its consolidated net worth in accordance with GAAP to 62.5% on the last day of any fiscal quarter during the waiver period.
		·		Consenting lenders under the facilities received an upfront fee of 0.25% of the amount of outstanding loans.
	As contemplated under these agreements, the Company prepaid $52,500 under its 2007 Credit Facility, $7,000 under its $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and $3,000 under its $100 Million Term Loan Facility. All such prepayments were applied in inverse order of maturity under each credit facility.

		·		The total amount of the 2007 Credit Facility is subject to quarterly reductions of $12,500 beginning March 31, 2009 through March 31, 2012 and quarterly reductions of $48,195 beginning June 30, 2012 and thereafter until the maturity date.  After the prepayment of $52,500 and $57,893 made during December 2011 and August 2012 pursuant to the December 2011 Agreements and August 2012 Agreements, respectively, a final payment of $381,182 will be due on the maturity date.
		·		The Applicable Margin to be added to the London Interbank Offered Rate to calculate the rate at which the Company’s borrowings bear interest is 2.00% per annum.  This was increased to 3.00% per annum pursuant to the August 2012 Agreements as noted above.

	Amounts repaid under the 2007 Credit Facility may not be reborrowed.  The 2007 Credit Facility had a maturity date of July 20, 2017.
	Loans made under the 2007 Credit Facility may be and have been used for the following:

A commitment fee of 0.75% per annum was payable on the unused daily portion of the credit facility, which began accruing on December 3, 2013 and ended on December 23, 2013, the date on which the entire $44,000 was borrowed.  Borrowings are to be repaid in 23 quarterly installments of $688 each commencing three months after the last drawdown date, or March 24, 2014, and a final payment of $28,188 due on the maturity date.

Under a Guarantee and Indemnity entered into concurrently with the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, Baltic Trading agreed to guarantee the obligations of its subsidiaries under the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility.

2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities
On October 8, 2014, Baltic Trading and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Baltic Hornet Limited and Baltic Wasp Limited, each entered into a loan agreement and related documentation for a credit facility in a principal amount of up to $16,800 with ABN AMRO Capital USA LLC and its affiliates (the “2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities”) to partially finance the newbuilding Ultramax vessel that each subsidiary is to acquire, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, respectively.  Amounts borrowed under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities may not be reborrowed.  The 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities have a ten-year term, and the facility amount is to be the lowest of 60% of the delivered cost per vessel, $16,800 per vessel, and 60% of the fair market value of each vessel at delivery.  The 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities are insured by the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (Sinosure) in order to cover political and commercial risks for 95% of the outstanding principal plus interest, which will be recorded in deferred financing fees.  Borrowings under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities bear interest at the three or six-month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum.  Borrowings are to be repaid in 20 equal consecutive semi-annual installments of 1/24 of the facility amount plus a balloon payment of 1/6 of the facility amount at final maturity.  Principal repayments will commence six months after the actual delivery date for a vessel.
Borrowings under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities are to be secured by liens on the Baltic Trading’s vessels acquired with borrowings under these facilities, namely the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and other related assets. Baltic Trading guarantees the obligations of the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities.
The 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities require Baltic Trading, Baltic Hornet Limited and Baltic Wasp Limited to comply with covenants comparable to those of the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility, with the exception of the collateral maintenance covenant and minimum cash requirement for the encumbered vessels. For the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities, the collateral maintenance covenant requiring that the minimum fair market value of the vessels acquired be 135% of the amount outstanding under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities.  Additionally, for the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities, the Baltic Hornet Limited and Baltic Wasp Limit are required to maintain $750 each in their cash accounts.   Refer to “Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility” section above.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company believes Baltic Trading is in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities.

Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility
On December 31, 2014, Baltic Trading entered into a $148,000 senior secured credit facility with Nordea Bank Finland plc, New York Branch (“Nordea”), as Administrative and Security Agent, Nordea and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (Publ) (“SEB”), as Mandated Lead Arrangers, Nordea, as Bookrunner, and the lenders (including Nordea and SEB) party thereto (the “Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility”).  The Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility is comprised of an $115,000 revolving credit facility and $33,000 term loan facility.  Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will be used to refinance Baltic Trading’s outstanding indebtedness under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.  Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility may be re-borrowed.  Borrowings under the term loan facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility may be incurred pursuant to two single term loans in an amount of $16,500 each that will be used to finance, in part, the purchase of two newbuilding Ultramax vessels that Baltic Trading has agreed to acquire, namely the Baltic Scorpion and Baltic Mantis.  Amounts borrowed under the term loan facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility may not be re-borrowed.
The Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2019.  Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.00% per annum.  A commitment fee of 1.2% per annum is payable on the unused daily portion of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, which began accruing on December 31, 2014.  The commitment under the revolving credit facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility is subject to equal consecutive quarterly reductions of $2,447 each beginning June 30, 2015 through September 30, 2019.  Borrowings under the term loan facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility are subject to equal consecutive quarterly installment repayments commencing three months after delivery of the relevant newbuilding Ultramax vessel, each in the amount of 1/60 of the aggregate outstanding term loan.  All remaining amounts outstanding under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility must be repaid in full on the maturity date, December 31, 2019.
Borrowings under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility are secured by liens on nine of Baltic Trading’s existing vessels that have served as collateral under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the two newbuilding Ultramax vessels noted above, and other related assets, including existing or future time charter contracts in excess of 36 months related to the foregoing vessels.
The Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility requires Baltic Trading to comply with a number of customary covenants substantially similar to those in the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, including financial covenants related to liquidity, leverage, consolidated net worth and collateral maintenance.  Refer to the “2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility” section above for further information.
As of December 31, 2014, $148,000 remained available under the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility as there were no drawdowns during the year ended December 31, 2014.
On January 7, 2015, Baltic Trading drew down $104,500 from the revolving credit facility of the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.  Using these borrowings, Baltic Trading repaid the $102,250 outstanding under the 2010 Baltic Trading Facility.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had not drawn down on the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, and therefore no measurement of financial covenants was required for this facility.
Refer to “2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility” section above for the repayment schedule of the outstanding debt of $102,250 as of December 31, 2014 which was refinanced with the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility.
Change of Control
If the Company’s ownership in Baltic Trading were to decrease to less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock and Class B Stock of Baltic Trading, the outstanding Baltic Trading Class B Stock held by the Company would automatically convert into common stock, and the voting power held by the Company in Baltic Trading would likewise decrease to less than 30%. This would result in a change of control as defined under the Baltic Trading 2010 Credit Facility, the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility, the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities, and would therefore constitute an event of default. Additionally, a change of control constituting an event of default under Baltic Trading’s credit facilities would also occur if any party other than the Company or certain other permitted holders beneficially owns more than 30% of the Company’s outstanding voting or economic equity interests, which may occur if a party were deemed to control Genco. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for discussion of the Company’s current economic status.  The Prepack Plan did not result, and the Company does not expect the Prepack Plan to result, in a reduction of the Company’s ownership in Baltic Trading.  As of the date of this report, no change of control under either of the foregoing tests has occurred.  In addition, Baltic Trading has the right to terminate the Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including a Manager Change of Control (as defined in the Management Agreement), without making a termination payment.  Some of these have occurred as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Prepack Plan, including the consummation of any transaction that results in (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), other than Peter Georgiopoulos or any of his affiliates, becoming the beneficial owner of 25% of the Company’s voting securities or (ii) the Company’s stock ceasing to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange or any other internationally recognized stock exchange.  Therefore, Baltic Trading may have the right to terminate the Management Agreement, although Baltic Trading may be prevented or delayed from doing so because of the effect of applicable bankruptcy law, including the automatic stay provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and the provisions of the Prepack Plan and the Confirmation Order.  The Prepack Plan did not result in any changes to the Management Agreement.  In its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed on March 2, 2015, Baltic Trading stated that its Board of Directors had not made any determination as of the date of such report regarding any action in connection with the Management Agreement in light of the foregoing events.
Interest payable
As required under the August 2012 Agreements, lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility will receive a fee equal to 1.25% of the principal amount outstanding following such prepayment, or $13,199, on the earlier date of the maturity date of this facility or the date on which all obligations under this facility have been paid in full.  On the Effective Date, the 2007 Credit Facility was terminated, therefore this liability was discharged.  Refer to Note 1 — General Information for further information regarding the Chapter 11 Cases.
Interest rates
The following tables set forth the effective interest rate associated with the interest expense for the Company’s debt facilities noted above included the costs associated with unused commitment fees.  For the Predecessor Company for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the effective interest rate also included the rate differential between the pay fixed, receive variable rate on the interest rate swap agreements that were in effect (refer to Note 12 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements), combined, as well as the 1.0% facility fee for the 2007 Credit Facility as noted above. The following tables also include the range of interest rates on the debt, excluding the impact of swaps and unused commitment fees, if applicable:

Letter of credit
In conjunction with the Company entering into a long-term office space lease (See Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies), the Company was required to provide a letter of credit to the landlord in lieu of a security deposit.  As of September 21, 2005, the Company obtained an annually renewable unsecured letter of credit with DnB NOR Bank.  The letter of credit outstanding was $300 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 at a fee of 1% per annum.  The letter of credit is cancelable on each renewal date provided the landlord is given 150 days minimum notice.  This letter of credit has been securitized by $300 that was paid by the Company to DnB NOR Bank during the year ended December 31, 2012.  This has been recorded as restricted cash included in total noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
	11 — CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
	The Company issued $125,000 of the 2010 Notes on July 27, 2010. The 2010 Notes mature on August 15, 2015 and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of approximately 51.0204 shares of common stock per (in whole dollars) $1,000 principal amount of the 2010 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $19.60 per share, representing a 22.5% conversion premium over the concurrent offering price of $16.00 per share of the Company’s common stock on July 21, 2010), subject to adjustment, based on the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to, (i) the issuance of certain dividends on our common stock, (ii) the issuance of certain rights, options or warrants, (iii) the effectuation of share splits or combinations, (iv) certain distributions of property and (v) certain issuer tender or exchange offers as described in the Indenture, with the amount due on conversion payable in shares, cash, or a combination thereof at the Company’s discretion.  The total underlying shares of the 2010 Notes are 6,377,551 shares of common stock.  Since the Company can settle a conversion of the 2010 Notes with shares, cash, or a combination thereof at its discretion, the Company allocated the convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The liability component of the debt instrument is being accreted to par value using the effective interest method over the remaining life of the debt. This accretion is reported as a component of interest expense. The equity component is not subsequently revalued as long as it continues to qualify for equity treatment.
	Upon issuance, the Company estimated the fair value of the liability component of the 2010 Notes, assuming a 10% non-convertible borrowing rate, to be $100,625 and the fair value of the conversion option to be $24,375. This amount was recorded as a debt discount and as an increase to additional paid-in capital as of the issuance date and the Company proportionately allocated approximately $918 of issuance costs against this equity component. The issuance costs allocated to the liability component of $3,637 along with the debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the approximate 5-year period to the maturity of the 2010 Notes on August 15, 2015 resulting in additional interest expense in future periods.  The issuance cost allocated to the liability component has been recorded as deferred financing costs; refer to Note 16 — Deferred Financing Costs.
	The 2010 Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of July 27, 2010 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 27, 2010, by and between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).  The 2010 Notes were represented by a global security, executed by the Company, in the form attached to the Supplemental Indenture.  Interest was payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, which began on February 15, 2011. The 2010 Notes were to mature on August 15, 2015, subject to earlier repurchase or conversion upon the occurrence of certain events. Holders could have converted their 2010 Notes before February 15, 2015, only in certain circumstances determined by (i) the market price of the Company’s common stock, (ii) the trading price of the 2010 Notes, or (iii) the occurrence of specified corporate events.  The 2010 Notes were subject to repurchase by the Company at the option of the holders following a fundamental change, as defined in the Indenture, including, but not limited to, (i) certain ownership changes, (ii) certain recapitalizations, mergers and dispositions, (iii) approval of any plan or proposal for the liquidation, or dissolution of the Company, and (iv) the Company’s common stock ceasing to be listed on any of the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Select Market, any of their respective successors or any other U.S. national securities exchange, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2010 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the fundamental change repurchase date.  After February 15, 2015, holders could convert their 2010 Notes at any time thereafter until the second scheduled trading day preceding maturity.
	The Indenture included customary agreements and covenants by the Company, including with respect to events of default.
	As noted in Note 1 — General Information, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases by the Company on April 21, 2014 constituted an event of default with respect to the 2010 Notes.  On that date, the Company ceased recording interest expense related to the 2010 Notes.  During the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014, interest expense of $2,522, including the amortization of the discount of the liability components and the bond coupon interest expense, was not recorded by the Predecessor Company, which would have been incurred had the indebtedness not been reclassified as a Liability subject to compromise.  On the Effective Date, when the Company emerged from Chapter 11, the 2010 Notes and the Indenture were fully satisfied and discharged.

12 - INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in default under covenants of its 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on the scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for additional information regarding defaults relating to the swap.  The default under the 2007 Credit Facility required the Company to elect interest periods of only one-month, therefore the Company no longer qualified for hedge accounting under the original designation and hedge accounting was terminated effective March 31, 2014.  Additionally, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases by the Company on the Petition Date constituted an event of default with respect to the outstanding interest rate swap with DNB Bank ASA.  As a result, DNB Bank ASA terminated all transactions under the remaining swap agreement effective April 30, 2014 and filed a secured claim with the Bankruptcy Court of $5,622. The claim was paid to DNB Bank ASA by the Successor Company during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had four interest rate swap agreements outstanding with DnB Bank ASA to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates related to the Company’s 2007 Credit Facility.  The total notional principal amount of the swaps at December 31, 2013 is $306,233 and the swaps had specified rates and durations.  Three of the swaps that were outstanding as of December 31, 2013 expired during 2014 prior to the Petition Date.

The swap agreements held by the Predecessor Company synthetically converted variable rate debt to fixed rate debt at the fixed interest rate of the swap plus the Applicable Margin, as defined in the “2007 Credit Facility” section above in Note 10 — Debt.

The differentials to be paid or received for these swap agreements were recognized as an adjustment to Interest expense as incurred.  The Company utilized cash flow hedge accounting for these swaps through March 31, 2014, whereby the effective portion of the change in value of the swaps was reflected as a component of AOCI.  The ineffective portion is recognized as Other expense, which is a component of Other (expense) income.  On March 31, 2014, the cash flow hedge accounting on the remaining swap agreement was discontinued.  Once cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Interest expense and the remaining amounts included in AOCI were amortized to interest expense over the original term of the hedging relationship for the Predecessor Company.

The interest expense pertaining to the interest rate swaps for the Predecessor Company for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $2,580, $9,963 and $13,440, respectively.

	The fair value of the floating rate debt under the Amended and Restated $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the Amended and Restated $253 Million Term Loan Facility are based on rates obtained upon our emergence from Chapter 11 on the Effective Date.  The 2007 Credit Facility was terminated on the Effective Date; however, a portion of the floating rate debt of the 2007 Credit Facility which was outstanding as of December 31, 2013 was traded in a private transaction for an amount that is not determinable by the Company, which Management believed was lower than the debt’s current carrying value as of December 31, 2013.  The 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was refinanced by the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility which was entered into December 31, 2014.  On January 7, 2015, Baltic Trading settled the outstanding debt under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility with proceeds from the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility, therefore Management believes the floating debt outstanding under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility approximates its fair value as of December 31, 2014.  The fair value of the Baltic Trading $22 Million Term Loan Facility and the Baltic Trading $44 Million Term Loan Facility is based on rates that Baltic Trading recently obtained upon the effective dates of these facilities on August 30, 2013 and December 3, 2013, respectively.  Lastly, the fair value of the floating rate debt outstanding under the 2014 Baltic Trading Term Loan Facilities is based on rates that Baltic Trading recently obtained upon the effective date of these facilities on October 8, 2014.  Refer to Note 10 — Debt for further information.  Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of the floating rate debt under the credit facilities.  The carrying value approximates the fair market value for these floating rate loans, except for the 2007 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2013.  The fair value of the convertible senior notes payable represents the market value based on recent transactions of the 2010 Notes at December 31, 2013 without bifurcating the value of the conversion option.  The fair value of the interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2013 is the estimated amount the Company would pay to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of both the swap counterparty and the Company.  Refer to Note 11 — Convertible Senior Notes and Note 12 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements for further information regarding the effect of the Chapter 11 Cases.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments at December 31, 2014 and 2013 (principally Due from charterers and Accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
	ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis.  This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.  The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
		·		Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
		·		Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
		·		Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:
			Successor
			December 31, 2014
			Total		Quoted		Significant
					Market		Other

					Active		Inputs

	The Company holds an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui, which is classified as a long-term investment.  The stock of Jinhui is publicly traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange and is considered a Level 1 item.  The Company also holds an investment in the stock of KLC, which is classified as a long-term investment.  The stock of KLC is publicly traded on the Korea Stock Exchange and is considered a Level 1 item. The Company’s only interest rate derivative instruments is a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps based on LIBOR which was outstanding as of December 31, 2013.  The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives, using observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact.  Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts on LIBOR for the first two years) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR cash and swap rates and credit spreads at commonly quoted intervals).  Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements.  Refer to Note 12 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements for further information regarding the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.  ASC 820-10 states that the fair value measurement of an asset or liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty.  Therefore, the impact of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Company’s creditworthiness when in a liability position have also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments.  This credit valuation adjustment did not have a material impact on the fair value of these derivative instruments as of December 31, 2013.  Refer to Note 1 — General Information for additional information regarding defaults relating to the swap.  Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. Floating rate debt is considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company considers the estimate of rates it could obtain for similar debt or based upon transactions amongst third parties. The 2010 Notes are publicly traded in the over-the-counter market; however, they are not considered to be actively traded. As such, the 2010 Notes are considered to be a Level 2 item as of December 31, 2013.  The interest rate swap agreement and 2010 Notes were not outstanding as of December 31, 2014.  The Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

	In September 2005, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for office space in New York, New York for which there was a free rental period from September 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006.  On January 6, 2012, the Company ceased the use of this space.  During the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Predecessor Company recorded net rent expense of ($41), $1,264 and $92, respectively, representing the adjustment to and the present value of the Company’s estimated remaining rent expense for the duration of the lease after taking into account estimated future sublease income based on the sublease agreement entered into effective November 1, 2013 and deferred rent on the facility.  The current and long-term lease obligations related to this lease agreement as of December 31, 2013 of $176 and $744, respectively, are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in Current portion of lease obligations and Long-term lease obligations, respectively, for the Predecessor Company.  Pursuant to the Plan that was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors rejected the lease agreement on the Effective Date and the Company believes that it will owe the lessor the remaining liability.
	Effective April 4, 2011, the Company entered into a seven-year sub-sublease agreement for additional office space in New York, New York.  The term of the sub-sublease commenced June 1, 2011, with a free base rental period until October 31, 2011. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments are $82 per month until May 31, 2015 and thereafter will be $90 per month until the end of the seven-year term.  Pursuant to the sub-sublease agreement, the sublessor was obligated to contribute $472 toward the cost of the Company’s alterations to the sub-subleased office space.  The Company has also entered into a direct lease with the over-landlord of such office space that commences immediately upon the expiration of such sub-sublease agreements, for a term covering the period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2025; the direct lease provides for a free base rental period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018.  Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments will be $186 per month from October 1, 2018 to April 30, 2023 and $204 per month from May 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025.  For accounting purposes, the sub-sublease agreement and direct lease agreement with the landlord constitutes one lease agreement.  As a result of the straight-line rent calculation generated by the free rent period and the tenant work credit, the monthly straight-line rental expense for the term of the entire lease from June 1, 2011 to September 30, 2025 was $130 for the Predecessor Company.  On the Effective Date, a revised straight-line rent calculation was completed as part of fresh-start reporting.  The revised monthly straight-line rental expense for the remaining term of the lease from the Effective Date to September 30, 2025 is $150. The Company had a long-term lease obligation at December 31, 2014 and 2013 of $390 and $2,370, respectively.  Rent expense pertaining to this lease recorded by the Successor Company for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 was $865.  Rent expense pertaining to this lease recorded by the Predecessor Company for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $813 $1,558 and $1,558, respectively.
	Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:  $1,037 for 2015, $1,076 annually for 2016 and 2017, $916 for 2018, $2,230 for 2019 and a total of $13,360 for the remaining term of the lease.
	During the beginning of 2009, the Genco Cavalier, a 2007-built Supramax vessel, was on charter to Samsun when Samsun filed for the equivalent of bankruptcy protection in South Korea, otherwise referred to as a rehabilitation application.  On February 5, 2010, the rehabilitation plan submitted by Samsun was approved by the South Korean courts.  As part of the rehabilitation process, the Company’s claim of $17,212 will be settled in the following manner; 34.0%, or $5,852, will be paid in cash in annual installments on December 30th of each year from 2010 through 2019 ranging from 8.0% to 17.0%; the remaining 66.0%, or $11,360, was converted to Samsun shares at a specified value per share.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received $296 and $234 from Samsun for the remainder of the payment that was due on December 30, 2012, including interest, and 50% of the payment that was due on December 30, 2013, respectively.  During the year ended December 31, 2013, there were no payments remitted by Samsun.  Lastly, during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company received $263 from Samsun which represented 50% of the payment due on December 30, 2012.  As such, during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, $530, $0 and $263, respectively, have been recorded as other operating income.
	During January 2011, the Genco Success, a 1997-built Handymax vessel, was on charter to KLC when KLC filed for a rehabilitation application with South Korean courts.  The original rehabilitation plan submitted by KLC was approved by the South Korean courts on July 3, 2012.  However, on October 4, 2013, a final revised rehabilitation plan was approved by the South Korean courts which resulted in a settlement payment to be paid to the Company of $21 in addition to 3,355 shares of stock of KLC.  The Company valued the shares of KLC stock using the fair value on the date that the shares were received which resulted in other operating income of $100.  These shares of KLC stock have been classified as AFS, refer to Note 7 — Investments for further information.  As per the original rehabilitation plan, the Company received a payment of $2 from KLC on December 30, 2012. As such, during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, $0, $121 and $2, respectively, have been recorded as other operating income.

	2014 Management Incentive Plan
	On the Effective Date, pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan, the Company adopted the MIP (as defined in Note 1 — General Information). An aggregate of 9,668,061 shares of Common Stock were available for award under the MIP, which were awarded in the form of restricted stock grants and awards of three tiers of MIP Warrants with staggered strike prices based on increasing equity values.  The number of shares of common stock available under the Plan represented approximately 1.8% of the shares of post-emergence Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Date on a fully-diluted basis. Awards under the MIP were available to eligible employees, non-employee directors and/or officers of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Eligible Individuals”). Under the MIP, a committee appointed by the Board from time to time (or, in the absence of such a committee, the Board) (in either case, the “Plan Committee”) may grant a variety of stock-based incentive awards, as the Plan Committee deems appropriate, to Eligible Individuals. The MIP Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and contain customary anti-dilution protection in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, dividend or other distributions (including, but not limited to, cash dividends), or business combination transaction.
	On August 7, 2014, pursuant to the MIP, certain individuals were granted MIP Warrants whereby each warrant can be converted on a cashless basis for the amount in excess of the respective strike price. The MIP Warrants were issued in three tranches, which are exercisable for 2,380,664, 2,467,009, and 3,709,788 shares and have exercise prices of $25.91 (the “$25.91 Warrants”), $28.73 (the “$28.73 Warrants”) and $34.19 (the “$34.19 Warrants”), respectively. The fair value of each warrant upon emergence from bankruptcy was $7.22 for the $25.91 Warrants, $6.63 for the $28.73 Warrants and $5.63 for the $34.19 Warrants. The warrant values were based upon a calculation using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula. This model uses inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued when the warrant is exercised, volatility, cost of capital interest rate and expected life of the instrument. The Company has determined that the warrants should be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy by evaluating each input for the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula against the fair value hierarchy criteria and using the lowest level of input as the basis for the fair value classification. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula used a volatility of 43.91% (representing the six-year volatility of a peer group), a risk-free interest rate of 1.85% and a dividend rate of 0%.  The aggregate fair value of these awards upon emergence from bankruptcy was $54,436. The warrants vest 33.33% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, with accelerated vesting upon a change in control of the Company.
	For the period from August 7, 2014 to December 31, 2014, the Successor Company recognized amortization expense of the fair value of these warrants of $13,390 which is included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of General, administrative and management fees. Amortization of the unamortized stock-based compensation balance of $41,046 as of December 31, 2014 is expected to be expensed $25,941, $11,496, and $3,609 during the years ending December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.  The following table summarizes all the warrant activity for the period July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014:

	On February 13, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to a total of $50,000 of the Company’s common stock.  Share repurchases were to be made from time to time for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions.  The timing and amount of purchases under the program will be determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors.  Purchases may be made pursuant to a program adopted under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act.  The program does not require the Company to purchase any specific number or amount of shares and may be suspended or reinstated at any time in the Company’s discretion and without notice.  Prior to the termination of the 2007 Credit Facility pursuant to the Plan, repurchases were subject to restrictions under the 2007 Credit Facility.  The 2007 Credit Facility was amended as of February 13, 2008 to permit the share repurchase program and provide that the dollar amount of shares repurchased is counted toward the maximum dollar amount of dividends that may be paid in any fiscal quarter.  Subsequently, on January 26, 2009, the Company entered into the 2009 Amendment which amended the 2007 Credit Facility to require the Company to suspend all share repurchases until the Company can represent that it is in a position to again satisfy the collateral maintenance covenant.  Refer to Note 10 —Debt.

	On March 28, 2014, the Genco Auvergne was arrested due to a disputed claim with the charterer of one of the Company’s other vessels, namely the Genco Ardennes. In order for the Company to release the Genco Auvergne from its arrest, the Company entered into a cash collateralized $900 bank guarantee with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (the “SEB Bank Guarantee”) on April 3, 2014. The vessel has since been released from its arrest and the bank guarantee will remain in an escrow account until the arbitration related to this case is completed. The SEB Bank Guarantee resulted in additional indebtedness by the Company. As the Company was in default under the covenants of its 2007 Credit Facility due to the default on a scheduled debt amortization payment due on March 31, 2014, on April 3, 2014 the Company received a consent from the lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility to incur this additional indebtedness. Also, under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility for which the Genco Auvergne is collateralized, the Company may not incur additional indebtedness related to its collateralized vessels under this facility. The Company also received a consent from the lenders under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility on April 3, 2014 in order to enter the SEB Bank Guarantee.  The $900 to collateralize the bank guarantee has been recorded as Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014.
	From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims.  Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.  The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows besides those noted above.

	Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s 2014 consolidated financial statements, the Company became aware of an error in its allocation of goodwill impairment to noncontrolling interest recognized in December 2014 by the Company  associated with its consolidated subsidiary Baltic Trading (refer to Note 5 — Goodwill Impairment). As a result of this error, amounts allocated to the Company’s noncontrolling interest in the Company’s previously reported Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Successor Company for the period from July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014 and the Company’s previously reported Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Successor Company as of December 31, 2014 were incorrect.
	The error affected the Company’s previously reported Net loss allocable to GS&T and the noncontrolling interest and Net loss per share allocable to GS&T on the face of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Successor Company for the period from July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014; and the Company’s previously reported allocation of shareholders’ equity to the shareholders of the Company and the noncontrolling interest in the face of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Successor Company as of December 31, 2014. The error did not impact the Company’s previously reported consolidated revenues, operating expenses, net loss or cash flows for the Successor Company for the period from July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014; or the Company’s previously reported consolidated  assets, liabilities or total equity of the Successor Company as of December 31, 2014.
	The Company determined its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 should be restated to correct for this error. The effect of correcting for this error resulted in; 1) a decrease in previously reported net loss attributable to GS&T and an increase in previously reported Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the period from July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014 by the same amount; and 2) an increase in GS&T’s equity attributable to its shareholders and a decrease in the  Noncontrolling interest in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 by the same amount. The effect of correcting these errors is summarized as follows:
		·	For the period from July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014, the previously reported Net loss attributable to GS&T decreased by $21,823 to $182,294 from $204,117 as a result of the restatement.  This resulted in a change in Net loss per share from $3.38 to $3.02 as a result of the restatement. After the restatement, the Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the period from July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014 increased by $21,823 to $31,064 from $9,241. The Company’s consolidated Net loss for the period from July 9, 2014 to December 31, 2014 was unchanged at $213,358.
		·	As of December 31, 2014, the previously reported equity recorded by GS&T attributable to its shareholders increased by $21,823 to $1,044,201 from $1,022,378 as a result of the restatement. After restatement, as of December 31, 2014, the noncontrolling interest’s equity decreased by $21,823 to $248,573 from $270,396.  The Company’s consolidated total equity in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 was unchanged at $1,292,774.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
	Principles of consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which include the accounts of GS&T, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Baltic Trading, a subsidiary in which the Company owns a majority of the voting interests and exercises control.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of reporting
	Basis of reporting
	The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Company believes that internally generated cash flow and cash on hand will be sufficient to fund the operations of the Company’s fleet, including its working capital requirements, for the next twelve months, subject to the resolution of the foregoing issue related to the Company’s credit facilities, refer to Note 10 — Debt.  The Company’s current and future liquidity will greatly depend upon the Company’s operating results. The Company’s ability to continue to meet its liquidity needs is subject to, and will be affected by; cash utilized in operations; the economic or business environment in which the Company operates; weakness in shipping industry conditions; the financial condition of the Company’s customers, vendors and service providers; the Company’s ability to comply with the financial and other covenants of its post-restructuring indebtedness; and other factors. Additionally, the Chapter 11 Cases, including the fact that the Company has been subject to bankruptcy proceedings, and related matters could negatively impact the Company’s financial condition.
Business geographics
	Business geographics
	The Company’s vessels regularly move between countries in international waters, over hundreds of trade routes and, as a result, the disclosure of geographic information is impracticable.
Vessel acquisitions
	Vessel acquisitions
	When the Company enters into an acquisition transaction, it determines whether the acquisition transaction was the purchase of an asset or a business based on the facts and circumstances of the transaction.  As is customary in the shipping industry, the purchase of a vessel is normally treated as a purchase of an asset as the historical operating data for the vessel is not reviewed nor is it material to the Company’s decision to make such acquisition.
	When a vessel is acquired with an existing time charter, the Company allocates the purchase price to the vessel and the time charter based on, among other things, vessel market valuations and the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired charters) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the charter terms and (ii) management’s estimate of the fair market charter rate, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the charter.  The capitalized above-market (assets) and below-market (liabilities) charters are amortized as a reduction or increase, respectively, to revenues over the remaining term of the charter.
Segment reporting
	Segment reporting
	The Company has two reportable segments, GS&T and Baltic Trading, which are both engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels.  Refer to Note 3 — Segment Information for further information.
Revenue and voyage expense recognition
	Revenue and voyage expense recognition
	Since the Company’s inception, revenues have been generated from time charter agreements, pool agreements and spot market-related time charters.  A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterer’s disposal for a set period of time during which the charterer may use the vessel in return for the payment by the charterer of a specified daily hire rate, including any ballast bonus payments received pursuant to the time charter agreement.  Spot market-related time charters are the same as other time charter agreements, except the time charter rates are variable and are based on a percentage of the average daily rates as published by the Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”).  Voyage revenues also include the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.
	In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer.  There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company.  At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses.  These differences in bunkers resulted in a net (gain) loss of $852 during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company.  During the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Predecessor Company recorded net (gains) losses of ($252), ($567) and ($1,714), respectively.  Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.
	The Company records time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided.  Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the term of the respective time charter agreement.  The Company records spot market-related time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided based on the rate determined based on the BDI for each respective billing period.  As such, the revenue earned by the Company’s vessels that are on spot market-related time charters is subject to fluctuations of the spot market.  The Company recognizes voyage expenses when incurred.
	Four of the Company’s vessels, the Genco Ocean, Genco Bay, Genco Avra and Genco Spirit, were chartered under spot market-related time charters which include a profit-sharing element.  The time charters for the Genco Ocean and Genco Bay ended during August 2013 and March 2013, respectively.  The time charters for the Genco Avra and Genco Spirit ended during March 2014 and November 2014, respectively.  Under these charter agreements, the rate for the spot market-related time charter was linked with a floor of $9 and a ceiling of $14 daily with a 50% profit sharing arrangement to apply to any amount above the ceiling.  The rate was based on 115% of the average of the daily rates reflected in the daily reports of the Baltic Handysize Index.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, eight and five of GS&T’s vessels were in vessel pools, respectively.  Additionally, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, five and four of Baltic Trading’s vessels were in vessel pools, respectively.  At December 31, 2014, GS&T and Baltic Trading had five and two vessels, respectively, operating in the Clipper Logger Pool, a vessel pool trading in the spot market for which Clipper Group acts as the pool manager.  Additionally, at December 31, 2014, GS&T and Baltic Trading had two and three vessels, respectively, operating in the Bulkhandling Handymax A/S Pool, a vessel pool trading in the spot market for which Torvald Klaveness acts as pool manager.  Lastly, as of December 31, 2014, GS&T had one vessel operating in the Navig8 Bulk Pool, a vessel pool trading in the spot market for which Navig8 Inc. acts as the pool manager.  At December 31, 2013, GS&T and Baltic Trading had two and two vessels, respectively, operating in the Clipper Logger Pool.  Additionally, at December 31, 2013, Baltic Trading had two vessels operating in the Bulkhandling Handymax A/S Pool.  Lastly, at December 31, 2013, GS&T had three vessels operating in the LB/IVS Pool, a vessel pool trading in the spot market for which Lauritzen Bulkers A/S acts as the pool manager. Under pool arrangements, the vessels operate under a time charter agreement whereby the cost of bunkers and port expenses are borne by the pool and operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.  Since the members of the pool share in the revenue less voyage expenses generated by the entire group of vessels in the pool, and the pool operates in the spot market, the revenue earned by these vessels is subject to the fluctuations of the spot market.  The Company recognizes revenue from these pool arrangements based on its portion of the net distributions reported by the relevant pool, which represents the net voyage revenue of the pool after voyage expenses and pool manager fees.
Other operating income
	Other operating income
	During the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014, the Successor Company recorded other operating income of $530.  During the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Predecessor Company recorded other operating income of $0, $121 and $265 respectively.  Other operating income recorded by the Successor Company during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 and by the Predecessor Company during the year ended December 31, 2012 consists of $530 and  $263, respectively, related to installments due from Samsun Logix Corporation (“Samsun”) pursuant to the rehabilitation plan which was approved by the South Korean courts.  Other operating income recorded by the Predecessor Company during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 also included $21 and $2, respectively, related to the settlement due from Korea Line Corporation (“KLC”) pursuant to the rehabilitation plan which was approved by the South Korean courts.  Lastly, other operating income during the year ended December 31, 2013 included $100 related to the receipt of 3,355 shares of stock of KLC as part of the aforementioned rehabilitation plan.  This investment has been designated as Available for Sale (“AFS”). Refer to Note 22 — Commitments and Contingencies for further information regarding the bankruptcy settlements with Samsun and KLC and Note 7 — Investments for further information regarding the investment in KLC shares.
Due from charterers, net
	Due from charterers, net
	Due from charterers, net includes accounts receivable from charters, net of the provision for doubtful accounts.  At each balance sheet date, the Company records the provision based on a review of all outstanding charter receivables.  Included in the standard time charter contracts with the Company’s customers are certain performance parameters which, if not met, can result in customer claims.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had a reserve of $1,588 and $632, respectively, against the due from charterers balance and an additional accrual of $662 and $536, respectively, in deferred revenue, each of which is primarily associated with estimated customer claims against the Company including vessel performance issues under time charter agreements.
	Revenue is based on contracted charterparties.  However, there is always the possibility of dispute over terms and payment of hires and freights.  In particular, disagreements may arise concerning the responsibility of lost time and revenue.  Accordingly, the Company periodically assesses the recoverability of amounts outstanding and estimates a provision if there is a possibility of non-recoverability.  The Company believes its provisions to be reasonable based on information available.
Inventory
	Inventories
	Inventories consist of consumable bunkers, lubricants and victualling stores, which are stated at the lower of cost or market value and are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.  Cost is determined by the first in, first out method.
Vessel operating expenses
	Vessel operating expenses
	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 other miscellaneous expenses.  Vessel operating expenses are recognized when incurred.
Vessels, net
	Vessels, net
	Vessels, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage.  The Company also capitalizes interest costs for a vessel under construction as a cost that is directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel.  Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard.  Depreciation expense for vessels for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company was $36,265.  Depreciation expense for vessels for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for the Predecessor Company was $71,756, $133,562, and $133,111, respectively.
	Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value.  The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment.  Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense.  Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight tons (lwt).  Effective July 9, 2014, on the Effective Date, the Company increased the estimated scrap value of the vessels from $245 per lwt to $310 per lwt prospectively based on the 15-year average scrap value of steel.  The change in the estimated scrap value will result in a decrease in depreciation expense over the remaining life of the vessel assets.  During the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014, the increase in the estimated scrap value resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense of $1,540 for the Successor Company. The decrease in depreciation expense resulted in a $0.03 change to the basic and diluted net loss per share during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014.  The basic and diluted net loss per share would have been ($3.05) per share if there was no change in the estimated scrap value.
Fixed assets, net
	Fixed assets, net
	Fixed assets, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are based on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the specific asset placed in service.  The following table is used in determining the typical estimated useful lives:
	Description	Useful lives
	Leasehold improvements	Lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or life of the lease
	Furniture, fixtures & other equipment	5 years
	Vessel equipment	2-15 years
	Computer equipment	3 years
	Depreciation and amortization expense for fixed assets for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company was $119.  Depreciation and amortization expense for fixed assets for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014  and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for the Predecessor Company was $458, $1,481 and $888, respectively.
Deferred drydocking costs
	Deferred drydocking costs
	The Company’s vessels are required to be drydocked approximately every 30 to 60 months for major repairs and maintenance that cannot be performed while the vessels are operating.  The Company defers the costs associated with the drydockings as they occur and amortizes these costs on a straight-line basis over the period between drydockings.  Costs deferred as part of a vessel’s drydocking include actual costs incurred at the drydocking yard; cost of travel, lodging and subsistence of personnel sent to the drydocking site to supervise; and the cost of hiring a third party to oversee the drydocking.  If the vessel is drydocked earlier than originally anticipated, any remaining deferred drydock costs that have not been amortized are expensed at the end of the next drydock.
	Amortization expense for drydocking for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company was $330.  Amortization expense for drydocking for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for the Predecessor Company was $3,738, $5,700, and $5,064, respectively.  All other costs incurred during drydocking are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
	Goodwill
	The Company follows the provisions of ASC Subtopic 350-20, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350-20”).  This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested for impairment at least annually or when there is a triggering event and written down with a charge to operations when the carrying amount of the reporting unit that includes goodwill exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds the reporting unit’s implied goodwill, such excess must be written off.
	The Company recorded Goodwill of $166,067 upon adoption of fresh-start reporting in accordance with provisions of ASC 852 as of the Effective Date.  Pursuant to the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing performed as of December 31, 2014, it was determined that the entire amount of this goodwill was impaired.  Refer to Note 5 — Goodwill Impairment.
Impairment of long-lived assets
	Impairment of long-lived assets
	The Company follows ASC Subtopic 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360-10”), 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 amounts.  If indicators of impairment are present, the Company performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived assets.  If the carrying value of the related asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to its fair value.  Various factors including anticipated future charter rates, estimated scrap values, future drydocking costs and estimated vessel operating costs are included in this analysis.
	For the periods from July 9 to December 31, 2014 and from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no impairment charges were recorded on the Company’s long-lived assets.
	As part of fresh-start reporting, the Company revalued its vessel assets at their fair values as of the Effective Date and the losses were recorded in Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operation.
Deferred financing costs
	Deferred financing costs
	Deferred financing costs, included in other assets, consist of fees, commissions and legal expenses associated with securing loan facilities and other debt offerings and amending existing loan facilities.  These costs are amortized over the life of the related debt and are included in interest expense.
Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents
	The Company considers highly liquid investments such as money market funds and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments
	Investments
	The Company holds an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (“Jinhui”) and in KLC.  Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping.  KLC is a marine transportation service company which operates a fleet of carriers which includes carriers for iron ore, liquefied natural gas and tankers for oil and petroleum products.  The investments in Jinhui and KLC have been designated as AFS and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).  The Company classifies the investments as current or noncurrent assets based on the Company’s intent to hold the investments at each reporting date.
	Investments are reviewed quarterly to identify possible other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with ASC Subtopic 320-10, “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities” (“ASC 320-10”).  When evaluating its investments, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below the cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, the underlying net asset value of the issuers assets and liabilities, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time which may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in market value.  Should the decline in the value of any investment be deemed to be other-than-temporary, the investment basis would be written down to fair market value, and the write-down would be recorded to earnings as a loss.  Refer to Note 7 — Investments.
Income taxes
	Income taxes
	Pursuant to Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended) (the “Code”), qualified income derived from the international operations of ships is excluded from gross income and exempt from U.S. federal income tax if a company engaged in the international operation of ships meets certain requirements (the “Section 883 exemption”).  Among other things, in order to qualify, the Company must be incorporated in a country that grants an equivalent exemption to U.S. corporations and must satisfy certain qualified ownership requirements.
	GS&T is incorporated in the Marshall Islands.  Pursuant to the income tax laws of the Marshall Islands, GS&T is not subject to Marshall Islands income tax.  The Marshall Islands has been officially recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a qualified foreign country that currently grants the requisite equivalent exemption from tax.  GS&T is not taxable in any other jurisdiction, with the exception of Genco Management (USA) Limited as noted below.
	GS&T will qualify for the Section 883 exemption if, among other things, (i) GS&T stock is treated as primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States (the publicly traded test”), or (ii) GS&T satisfies one of two other ownership tests.  Under applicable Treasury Regulations, the publicly-traded test cannot be satisfied in any taxable year in which persons who actually or constructively own 5% or more of our stock (“5% shareholders”), together own 50% or more of GS&T’s stock for more than half the days in such year (the “five percent override rule”), unless an exception applies.
	Based on the ownership and trading of GS&T stock in 2014, management believes that GS&T satisfied the publicly traded test and qualified for the Section 883 exemption in 2014.  However, as a result of the restructuring of GS&T’s indebtedness pursuant to the Plan, 5% shareholders may beneficially own more than 50% of GS&T stock for more than half of 2015.  As a result, the five percent override rule may apply, and management believes that GS&T would have significant difficulty in satisfying an exception thereto. It is also not clear whether GS&T will satisfy one of the other two ownership tests.  Thus, GS&T may not qualify for the Section 883 exemption in 2015. Even if GS&T does qualify for the Section 883 exemption in 2015, there can be no assurance that changes and shifts in the ownership of GS&T stock by 5% shareholders will not preclude GS&T from qualifying for the Section 883 exemption in future taxable years.
	If GS&T does not qualify for the Section 883 exemption, GS&T’s U.S. source shipping income, i.e., 50% of its gross shipping income attributable to transportation beginning or ending in the U.S. (but not both beginning and ending in the U.S.) would be subject to a 4% tax without  allowance for deductions (the “U.S. gross transportation tax”).
	Baltic Trading is also incorporated in the Marshall Islands and its stock is primarily traded on an established securities market in the U.S.  However, GS&T has indirectly owned shares of Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock which has provided GS&T with over 50% of the combined voting power of all classes of Baltic Trading’s voting stock since Baltic Trading’s IPO was completed on March 15, 2010.  As a result, Baltic Trading’s Class B Stock will not be treated as regularly traded and Baltic Trading will not satisfy the publicly traded test (and cannot satisfy one of the other two ownership tests).  Thus, Baltic Trading does not qualify for a Section 883 exemption. As such, Baltic Trading is subject to U.S. gross transportation income tax on its U.S. source shipping income.
	During the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014, Baltic Trading had U.S. source shipping income of $450.  Baltic Trading’s estimated U.S. gross transportation income tax expense for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 was $18.  During the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Baltic Trading had U.S. source shipping income of $965, $832 and $690, respectively.  Baltic Trading’s U.S. gross transportation income tax expense for the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $39, $34 and $28, respectively.
	In addition to GS&T’s shipping income and pursuant to certain agreements, GS&T technically and commercially manages vessels for Baltic Trading, and provides technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for fees.  These management services are performed by Genco Management (USA) Limited (“Genco (USA)”), which has elected to be classified (and taxed) as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  As such, Genco (USA) is subject to U.S. federal net income tax (currently imposed at graduated rates of up to 35%) on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these management services.  Genco (USA) has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the Company and Genco Ship Management LLC, collectively “Manco,” pursuant to which Genco (USA) agrees to reimburse Manco for the costs incurred by Genco (USA) for the use of Manco’s personnel and services in connection with the provision of management services for both Baltic Trading and MEP’s vessels.
	Total revenue earned by the Successor Company for management services during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 was $3,893, of which $2,309 was eliminated upon consolidation.  After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable net income of $2,178 associated with these activities for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014. This resulted in estimated U.S. federal net income tax expense of $978 for the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014.

Deferred revenue
	Deferred revenue
	Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned.  These amounts are recognized as income when earned.  Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues.  Refer to “Revenue and voyage expense recognition” above for description of the Company’s revenue recognition policy.
Comprehensive income
	Comprehensive income
	The Company follows ASC Subtopic 220-10, “Comprehensive Income” (“ASC 220-10”), which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in financial statements.  Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and amounts related to the Company’s interest rate swaps accounted for as hedges, as well as unrealized gains or losses associated with the Company’s AFS investments.
Nonvested stock awards
	Nonvested stock awards
	The Company follows ASC Subtopic 718-10, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718-10”), for nonvested stock issued under its equity incentive plans.  Stock-based compensation costs from nonvested stock have been classified as a component of additional paid-in capital.
Accounting estimates
	Accounting estimates
	The preparation of 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates include vessel valuations, the valuation of amounts due from charterers, performance claims, residual value of vessels, useful life of vessels and the fair value of derivative instruments.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of credit risk
	Concentration of credit risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are amounts due from charterers, cash and cash equivalents, deposits on vessels and interest rate swap agreements.  With respect to amounts due from charterers, the Company attempts to limit its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations and, when deemed necessary, requires letters of credit, guarantees or collateral.  The Successor Company earned 100% of revenues from 44 customers during the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014.  The Predecessor Company earned 100% of revenues from 33 customers during the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014, 48 customers during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 43 customers during the year ended December 31, 2012.  Management does not believe significant risk exists in connection with the Company’s concentrations of credit at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	For the period from July 9 to December 31, 2014 for the Successor Company, there were two customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of voyage revenues; Cargill International S.A., including its subsidiaries (“Cargill”) and Swissmarine Services S.A., including its subsidiaries (“Swissmarine”), which represented 17.06% and 22.52% of voyage revenues, respectively. For the period from January 1 to July 9, 2014 for the Predecessor Company, there were two customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of voyage revenues; Cargill and Swissmarine, which represented 19.37% and 20.67% of voyage revenues, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013 for the Predecessor Company, there were three customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of voyage revenues; Cargill, Swissmarine and Pacific Basin Chartering Ltd., which represented 21.45%, 18.73% and 10.30% of voyage revenues, respectively.  For the year ended December 31, 2012 for the Predecessor Company, there was one customer that individually accounted for more than 10% of voyage revenues, Cargill, which represented 31.27% of voyage revenues.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, deposits on vessels consist primarily of progress payments due by Baltic Trading to the shipyard as per the newbuilding contracts with Yangfan Group Co., Ltd.  These payments are not held in an escrow account; however, Baltic Trading has a refund guarantee with the Bank of China in the case that Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. does not perform as required by the newbuilding contracts.  Refer to Note 6 — Vessel Acquisitions for further information.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company maintains all of its cash and cash equivalents with three and four financial institutions, respectively.  None of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances is covered by insurance in the event of default by these financial institutions.
	At December 31, 2013, the Company had four interest rate swap agreements with DnB Bank ASA to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates related to the 2007 Credit Facility.  None of the interest rate swap agreements were covered by insurance in the event of default by this financial institution.  On April 30, 2014, the remaining interest rate swap agreement was terminated by DNB Bank ASA and a secure claim was filed with the Bankruptcy Court.  Refer to Note 1 — General Information for additional information regarding defaults related to the interest rate swap.  There were no interest rate swaps held by the Company at December 31, 2014.
Fair value of financial instruments
	Fair value of financial instruments
	The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, such as amounts due to / due from charterers, accounts payable and long-term debt, approximate their individual carrying amounts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 due to their short-term maturity or the variable-rate nature of the respective borrowings under the credit facilities.
	The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount the Company would receive or have to pay in order to terminate these agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets and creditworthiness of the Company for liabilities.  See Note 14 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional disclosure on the fair values of long term debt, convertible senior notes, derivative instruments, and AFS securities.
Derivative financial instruments
	Derivative financial instruments
	Interest rate risk management
	The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes.  The Company’s objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on its earnings and cash flow in relation to borrowings primarily for the purpose of acquiring drybulk vessels.  These borrowings are subject to a variable borrowing rate.  Up until the Effective Date, the Company used pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps to manage future interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rate obligations.  These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of future variable rate interest payments and were tested for effectiveness on a quarterly basis.  Refer to Note 12 — Interest Rate Swap Agreements for further information regarding the interest rate swaps that were held by the Company prior to the Effective Date.
	The differential to be paid or received for the effectively hedged portion of any swap agreement was recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred.  Additionally, the changes in value for the portion of the swaps that were effectively hedging future interest payments were reflected as a component of AOCI.
	For the interest rate swaps that are not designated as an effective hedge, the change in the value and the rate differential to be paid or received was recognized as other expense and is listed as a component of other (expense) income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recent accounting pronouncements
	Recent accounting pronouncements
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 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 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”), to improve the transparency of changes in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and items reclassified out of accumulated other income (loss) (“AOCI”).  The amendments in ASU 2013-02 are required to be applied prospectively and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than separately disclosing in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements amounts reclassified out of AOCI and the individual line items in the  Consolidated Statement of Operations that are affected.  The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the impact of adoption was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  Refer to Note 13 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for additional disclosure.
