(See Note 3).

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

The above term loans are secured by first priority mortgages over the vessels involved, plus the assignment of the vessels’ insurances, earnings and operating and retention accounts with the lenders, and the guarantee of ship-owning companies, as owners of the vessels. The term loans contain financial covenants requiring the Company to ensure that:

• the aggregate market value of the mortgaged vessels at all times exceeds a certain percentage of the amounts outstanding as defined in the term loans,

• the leverage of the Company defined as Total Debt net of Cash should not exceed 80% of total market value adjusted assets,

• the Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company defined as EBITDA to interest expense to be at all times greater than to 2.5:1,

• that at least 15% of the Company is to always be owned by members of the Vafias family,

• the Company should maintain on a monthly basis a cash balance of a proportionate amount of the next installment and relevant interest plus a minimum aggregate cash balance of $1,300,000 in the earnings account with the relevant banks,

• dividends paid by the borrower will not exceed 50% of the Company’s free cash flow in any rolling 12 month period.

The interest rates on the outstanding loans as of September 30, 2012 are based on Libor plus a margin which varies from 0.70% to 3.00%. The average interest rate (including the margin) on the outstanding loans for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was 2.43%.

Bank loan interest expense for the above loans for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 amounted to $5,768,807 and $6,873,954, respectively. Of these amounts, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, the amounts of $445,572 and $160,439, respectively, were capitalized to “Advances for vessels under construction and acquisitions”. Interest expense, net of interest capitalized, is included in interest and finance costs in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the original covenants or had waivers that supplemented the original covenants such that the Company was in compliance. With respect to one facility under which a total of $26,875,000 was outstanding as of September 30, 2012, the Company has obtained a waiver until June 30, 2013 reducing the required value-to-loan ratio from 125% to 110%. Value-to-loan ratio shortfalls do not constitute events of default that would automatically trigger the full repayment of the loan. Based on the loan agreements, upon receiving written notice of non-compliance from lenders, the Company can remedy value-to-loan shortfalls by providing additional collateral or repaying the amount of the shortfall. Management has the intention and the ability to cure the shortfall in the event that the Company is still not in compliance with this covenant upon the expiry of the existing waiver, and has not renegotiated the waiver, and therefore this loan, excluding the current portion of scheduled loan repayments, has not been classified as current liabilities on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

There was no available undrawn amount under the Company’s loan facilities at September 30, 2012.

The annual principal payments to be made, for the ten loans, after September 30, 2012 are as follows:

September 30,	Amount
2013		35,162,544
2014		68,127,676
2015		32,568,126
2016		78,380,387
2017& thereafter		139,031,250
Total		353,269,983

11. Derivatives and Fair Value Disclosures

The Company uses interest rate swaps for the management of interest rate risk exposure. The interest rate swaps effectively convert a portion of the Company’s debt from a floating to a fixed rate. The Company is a party to six floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with various major financial institutions covering notional amounts aggregating approximately $126,937,757 at September 30, 2012 pursuant to which it pays fixed rates ranging from 2.77% to 4.73% and receives floating rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (approximately 0.50% at September 30, 2012). These agreements contain no leverage features and have maturity dates ranging from February 2013 to March 2016.

The Company did not have any derivative instruments that qualified for hedge accounting as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2012.

The following tables present information on the location and amounts of derivatives’ fair values reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and with respect to gains and losses on derivative positions reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income or in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss).

Tabular disclosure of financial instruments is as follows:

		December 31, 2011		September 30, 2012
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments	Balance Sheet Location	Liability Derivatives		Liability Derivatives
Interest Rate Swap Agreements	Current liabilities - Fair value of derivatives		—		1,026,410
Interest Rate Swap Agreements	Non current liabilities - Fair value of derivatives		9,401,798		5,913,326
Total derivatives not designated as hedging instruments			9,401,798		6,939,736
Total derivatives			9,401,798		6,939,736

The effect of derivative instruments on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine- month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 is as follows:

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments		Nine-month periods ended September 30,
	Location of Gain / (Loss) Recognized	2011			2012
Interest Rate Swap - Reclassification from OCI	Loss on derivatives		(369,045	)		(11,830	)
Interest Rate Swap - Change in fair value	Loss on derivatives		931,949			2,462,062
Interest Rate Swap - Realized loss	Loss on derivatives		(4,318,849	)		(3,603,541	)
Foreign Currency Contract - Change in Fair Value	Loss on derivatives		(3,241,345	)		—
Foreign Currency Contract - Realized gain	Loss on derivatives		4,236,454			—
Total loss on derivatives			(2,760,836	)		(1,153,309	)

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2012, the losses transferred from other comprehensive income to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income were $369,045 and $11,830, respectively. The estimated net amount of existing gains at September 30, 2012, that will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months relating to previously designated cash flow hedges is $43,233.

11. Derivatives and Fair Value Disclosures – Continued

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and derivative instruments. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and other investments with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by its counterparties to derivative instruments; however, the Company limits its exposure by transacting with counterparties with high credit ratings. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of long term bank loans bearing interest at variable interest rates approximates the recorded values. Additionally, the Company considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty when determining the fair value of the credit facilities. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements are recorded at fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow method based on market-based LIBOR swap yield curves. LIBOR swap rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the swap and therefore are considered Level 2 items.

Fair Value Disclosures: The Company has categorized assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based upon the fair value hierarchy specified by the guidance. The levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

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

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

The following table presents the fair values for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis categorized into a Level based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations as of December 31, 2011:

			Fair Value Measurements Using
Description	Fair Value as of  December 31, 2011		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities
Interest Rate Swap Agreements		9,401,798		—		9,401,798
Total		9,401,798		—		9,401,798		—

The following table presents the fair values for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis categorized into a Level based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations as of September 30, 2012:

12. Equity Compensation Plan

During 2007, the Company’s board of directors adopted an Equity Compensation Plan (“the Plan”), under which the Company’s employees, directors or other persons or entities providing significant services to the Company or its subsidiaries are eligible to receive stock-based awards including restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, bonus stock, performance stock and stock appreciation rights. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors and the aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved under this plan cannot exceed 10% of the number of shares of Company’s common stock issued and outstanding at the time any award is granted. The Company’s Board of Directors may terminate the Plan at any time. As of September 30, 2012, a total of 250,005 restricted shares had been granted under the Plan since the first grant in the first quarter of 2007. As of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012, all of these shares had vested.

13. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share give effect to all potentially dilutive securities. All of the Company’s shares (including non-vested restricted stock issued under the Plan) participate equally in dividend distributions and in undistributed earnings.

The Company applies the two-class method of computing earnings per share (EPS) as the unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non forfeitable dividends are participating securities. Dividends declared during the period for non-vested restricted stock as well as undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested stock are deducted from net income for the purpose of the computation of basic earnings per share in accordance with the two-class method. The denominator of the basic earnings per common share excludes any non-vested shares as such they are not considered outstanding until the time-based vesting restriction has elapsed.

For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, dividends declared during the period for non-vested restricted stock and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested stock are not deducted from net income as reported since such calculation assumes non-vested restricted stock is fully vested from the grant date.

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share as follows:

	Nine-month periods ended September 30,
	2011		2012
Numerator
Net income attributable to common shareholders, basic		4,104,000		21,199,409
Denominator
Basic and Diluted Weighted average shares - outstanding		21,029,322		20,552,568
Basic and Diluted earnings per share		0.20		1.03

14. Commitments and Contingencies

• From time to time the Company expects to 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 such claims or contingent liabilities which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

• As described in Note 3 above, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 the Company entered into separate memoranda of agreement to acquire four vessels under construction. As of September 30, 2012, the unpaid balance of the purchase price for these vessels was $96,000,000, net of $19,200,000 already advanced to the sellers.

• Future minimum contractual charter revenue, based on vessels committed to non-cancellable, long-term time and bareboat charter contracts as of September 30, 2012, amount to $77,966,166 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2013, $54,449,200 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2014, $30,687,955 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2015, $14,602,350 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2016 and $3,867,250 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2017. These amounts do not include any assumed off-hire.

15. Subsequent Events

(a) On November 22, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved under the Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Plan the granting of 74,761 restricted shares to the Company’s CEO, CFO, Executive and Non-Executive members of Board of Directors vesting on September 30, 2014.
