Overview
The address of the registered office of Globus Maritime Limited (“Globus”) is: Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro, Marshall Islands MH96960.
The principal business of the Company is the ownership and operation of a fleet of dry bulk motor vessels (“m/v”), providing maritime services for the transportation of dry cargo products on a worldwide basis. The Company conducts its operations through its vessel owning subsidiaries.
The operations of the vessels are managed by Globus Shipmanagement Corp. (the “Manager”), a wholly owned Marshall Islands corporation. The Manager has an office in Greece, located at 128 Vouliagmenis Avenue, 166 74 Glyfada, Greece and provides the commercial, technical, cash management and accounting services necessary for the operation of the fleet in exchange for a management fee. The management fee is eliminated on consolidation.

Results of Operations
Our revenues consist of earnings under the charters on which we employ our vessels. We believe that the important measures for analysing trends in the results of our operations consist of the following:
Revenues
The Company generates its revenues from charterers from the charter hire of its vessels. Vessels are chartered using time charters, where a contract is entered into for the use of a vessel for a specific period of time and a specified daily charter hire rate. If a time charter agreement exists and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured, revenue is recognised on a straight - line basis over the period of the time charter. Such revenues are treated in accordance with IFRS 16 as lease income while the portion of time charter revenues related to technical management services are recognized in accordance with IFRS 15. Associated broker commissions are recognised on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the period of the time charter. Deferred revenue relates to cash received prior to the financial position date and is related to revenue earned after such date.
For time charters that qualify as leases, the Company is required to disclose lease and non-lease components of voyage revenue. The revenue earned under time charters is not negotiated in its two separate components, but as a whole. For purposes of determining the standalone selling price of the vessel lease and technical management service components of the Company’s time charters, the Company concluded that the residual approach would be the most appropriate method to use given that vessel lease rates are highly variable depending on shipping market conditions, the duration of such charters and the age of the vessel. The Company believes that the standalone transaction price attributable to the technical management service component, including crewing services, is more readily determinable than the price of the lease component and, accordingly, the price of the service component is estimated using data provided by its technical department, which consist of the crew expenses, maintenance and consumable costs and was approximately $13,098 and $13,612 for the nine months periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The fleet decreased from an average of 9.0 vessels during the first nine months of 2022 to 8.4 vessels for the same period in 2023. The lease component that is disclosed then is calculated as the difference between total revenue and the non-lease component revenue and was $10,724 and $39,565 for the nine months periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company enters into consultancy agreements with other companies for the purpose of providing consultancy services. For these services the Company receives a fee. The total income from these fees is classified in the income statement component of the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income under management & consulting fee income.
Time Charters
A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel for a specific period of time during which the charterer pays substantially all of the voyage expenses, including port and canal charges and the cost of bunkers (fuel oil), but the vessel owner pays vessel operating expenses, including the cost of crewing, insuring, repairing and maintaining the vessel, the costs of spares and consumable stores and tonnage taxes. Time charter rates are usually set at fixed rates during the term of the charter. Prevailing time charter rates fluctuate on a seasonal and on a year-to-year basis and, as a result, when employment is being sought for a vessel with an expiring or terminated time charter, the prevailing time charter rates achievable in the time charter market may be substantially higher or lower than the expiring or terminated time charter rate. Fluctuation in time charter rates are influenced by changes in spot charter rates, which are in turn influenced by a number of factors, including vessel supply and demand. The main factors that could increase total vessel operating expenses are crew salaries, insurance premiums, spare parts, repairs that are not covered under insurance policies and lubricant prices.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and bunker expenses that are unique to a particular charter under time charter arrangements are paid by the charterers or by the Company under voyage charter arrangements. Furthermore, voyage expenses include brokerage commission on revenue paid by the Company.
Gain on sale of bunkers, net
In addition to voyage expenses, the Company may also record a gain from bunkers which results mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by the Company when the vessel is redelivered to the Company from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer.
Vessel Operating Expenses
Vessel operating expenses primarily consist of crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses necessary for the operation of the vessel and borne by the owner. All vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
General and Administrative Expenses
The primary components of general and administrative expenses consist of the services of our senior executive officers, and the expenses associated with being a public company. Such public company expenses include the costs of preparing public reporting documents, legal and accounting costs and costs related to compliance with the rules, regulations and requirements of the SEC, the rules of NASDAQ, board of directors’ compensation and investor relations.
Depreciation
We depreciate the cost of our vessels after deducting the estimated residual value, on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of each vessel, which is estimated to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. We estimated the residual values of our vessels to be $380 per lightweight ton until September 30, 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we adjusted the scrap rate from $380/ton to $440/ton due to the increased scrap rates worldwide.
Interest and Finance Costs
We have historically incurred interest expense and financing costs in connection with the debt incurred to partially finance the acquisition of our existing fleet. The interest rate was calculated until August 10, 2022 based on the three-month LIBOR rate and applicable margin and on SOFR rate and applicable margin thereafter.
Gain on derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to fluctuations of interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. Interest Rate Swaps are measured at fair value. The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The valuation technique used for the Interest Rate Swaps is the discounted cash flow. The Company has not designated these interest rate swaps for hedge accounting.
The fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps is classified under “Fair value of derivative financial instruments” either under assets or liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. In the event that the respective asset or liability is expected to be materialized within the next twelve months, it is classified as current asset or liability. Otherwise, the respective asset or liability is classified as non-current asset or liability.
The change in fair value deriving from the valuation of the Interest Rate Swap at the end of each reporting period is classified under “Gain on derivative financial instruments” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Realized gains or losses resulting from interest rate swaps are recognized in profit or loss under “Gain on derivative financial instruments” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to total comprehensive income/(loss) or cash generated from operations, as determined by IFRS, and our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under IFRS.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which we assess our financial performance and because we believe that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness and it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are:
» EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
» EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
» EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs; and
» other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business.

(3) | Operating days are the number of available days less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances but excluding days during which vessels are seeking employment. |
(4) | We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during the period. |
(5) | Average number of vessels is measured by the sum of the number of days each vessel was part of our fleet during a relevant period divided by the number of calendar days in such period. |
(6) | TCE rates are our voyage revenues plus any potential gain on sale of bunkers less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our available days during the period which is consistent with industry standards. TCE is a measure not in accordance with IFRS. |
(7) | We calculate daily vessel operating expenses by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant time period. |

Recent Developments
Contract for new building vessels
On August 18, 2023, the Company signed two contracts for the construction and purchase of two fuel efficient bulk carrier of about 64,000 dwt each. The two vessels will be built at a reputable shipyard in Japan and are scheduled to be delivered during the second half of 2026. The total consideration for the construction of both vessels is approximately $75.5 million, which the Company intends to finance with a combination of debt and equity. In August 2023 the Company paid the 1st instalment of $7.5 million for both vessels under construction.
Debt financing
In August 2023, the Company reached an agreement with First Citizens Bank & Trust Company (formerly known as CIT Bank N.A.) for a deed of accession, amendment and restatement of the CIT loan facility by the accession of an additional borrower in order to increase the loan facility from a total of $52.25 million to $77.25 million, by a top up loan amount of $25 million for the purpose of financing vessels Diamond Globe and Power Globe and for general corporate and working capital purposes of all the borrowers and Globus. The CIT loan facility (including the new top up loan amount) is now further secured by a first preferred mortgage over the vessels Diamond Globe and Power Globe. Furthermore, the applicable margin was amended from 3.35% to 2.70 % for the whole CIT loan facility. On August 10, 2023, the Company drew down $25 million.
The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary Daxos Maritime Limited, is currently negotiating a sale and leaseback financing transaction for a vessel under construction at Nantong Cosco KHI Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. that we previously disclosed have agreed to purchase. Daxos Maritime Ltd would sell the vessel for a purchase price of $28 million on or about September 30, 2024 (subject to delays during construction of the Vessel) to an unaffiliated third party. Daxos Maritime Ltd would bareboat charter the vessel from the new owner for period of 10 years, with hire payable monthly in advance at (A) a fixed rate of (i) $3,000 per day for the first 3 years, (ii) $3,200 per day for the 4th and 5th years, (iii) $3,300 per day for the 6th and 7th years, and (iv) $3,800 per days for the 8th, 9th and 10th years, and (B) a floating rate calculated on the amount of the outstanding lease obligation on the relevant hire payment date of (1) CME SOFR plus 2.1% per annum for the first 3 years, (2) CME SOFR plus 2.45% per annum for the next 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th years, and (3) CME SOFR plus 2.35% per annum for the remaining 8th, 9th and 10th years. Daxos Maritime Ltd will have the right under the Charter to purchase the Vessel during the charter period at various purchase prices, and an obligation to purchase the Vessel at the end of the Charter Period for a purchase price of $15.81 million. Globus maritime would guarantee the payments. The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including negotiating and agreeing and approval by all parties of the final documentation for the transaction.
Sale of vessels
On March 6, 2023, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell the 2007-built Sun Globe for a gross price of $14.1 million (absolute amount), before commissions, to an unaffiliated third party. The vessel was delivered to its new owners on June 5, 2023. The Company recognized a gain of $71 as a result of the sale, which was classified in the income statement component of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
On August 11, 2023, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell the 2009-built Sky Globe for a gross price of $10.7 million (absolute amount), before commissions, to an unaffiliated third party.

Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation
Clawback Policy. On November 8, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of a Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive Based Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”), with an effective date of October 2, 2023, in order to comply with the final clawback rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 10D and Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 10D-1”), and the listing standards, as set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608 (the “Final Clawback Rules”).
The Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers as defined in Rule 10D-1 (“Covered Officers”) of the Company in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, in accordance with the Final Clawback Rules. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether a Covered Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. Under the Clawback Policy, the Board of Directors may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded incentive compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.
Results of Operations
Conflicts
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which commenced in February 2022, has disrupted supply chains and caused instability and significant volatility in the global economy. Much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict in Ukraine, and it is possible that such instability, uncertainty and resulting volatility could significantly increase the costs of the Company and adversely affect its business, including the ability to secure charters and financing on attractive terms, and as a result, adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. Currently there is no direct effect on the Company’s operations.
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022

Voyage revenues
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, our Voyage revenues reached $23.8 million and $53.2 million, respectively. The 55% decrease in Voyage revenues was mainly attributed to the decrease in the average time charter rates achieved by our vessels during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The Company operated a fleet of 8.4 during the first nine months of 2023 compared to an average of 9 vessels for the same period in 2022. Daily Time Charter Equivalent rate (TCE) for the nine-month period of 2023 was $8,979 per vessel per day against $20,840 per vessel per day during the same period in 2022, corresponding to a decrease of 57%, which is attributed to the worse conditions throughout the bulk market for the first nine months of 2023.
Voyage expenses, net
Voyage expenses reached $3.8 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, compared to $2.9 million during the same period last year. Voyage expenses include commissions on revenues, port and other voyage expenses and bunker expenses. Bunker expenses mainly refer to the cost of bunkers consumed during periods that our vessels are travelling seeking employment. Voyage expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, are analyzed as follows:
In $000’s | | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
Commissions | | | 307 | | | | 811 | |
Bunkers | | | 3,163 | | | | 1,664 | |
Other voyage expenses | | | 370 | | | | 394 | |
Total | | | 3,840 | | | | 2,869 | |
Vessel operating expenses
Vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oils, insurance, maintenance, and repairs, reached $12.8 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, compared to $13.3 million during the same period last year. The breakdown of our operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:
| | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
Crew expenses | | | 52 | % | | | 51 | % |
Repairs and spares | | | 17 | % | | | 21 | % |
Insurance | | | 7 | % | | | 8 | % |
Stores | | | 15 | % | | | 12 | % |
Lubricants | | | 6 | % | | | 5 | % |
Other | | | 3 | % | | | 3 | % |
Average daily operating expenses during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $5,557 per vessel per day and $5,397 per vessel per day respectively, corresponding to an increase of 3%.
Depreciation
Depreciation charge during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, reached $3.7 million compared to $4.3 million during the same period in 2022. This is mainly attributed to the decrease of the fleet from an average of 9 vessels during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 to 8.4 vessels for the same period in 2023 and the increase of the scrap rate in our books from $380/ton to $440/ton during the fourth quarter of 2022, due to the increased scrap rates worldwide.
Total administrative expenses
Total administrative expenses, including administrative expenses to related parties and share based payments, amounted to $3.2 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Reversal of Impairment
On March 6, 2023, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell the 2007-built Sun Globe for a gross price of $14.1 million, before commissions, to an unaffiliated third party.
Following the agreement to sell Sun Globe and given the significant increase in the vessel’s market value, the Company assessed that there were indications that impairment losses recognized in the previous periods with respect to this vessel have decreased. Therefore, the carrying amount of the vessel was increased to its recoverable amount, determined based on selling price less cost to sell, and the Company recorded reversal of impairment amounting $4,400.
Gain from the sale of vessels
Gain from sale of vessels amounted to $3.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. As a result of the sale of Sky and Star Globe the Company recognized a gain of approximately $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Both vessels were delivered to their new owners in September 2023.
Interest Income
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, interest income reached approximately $1.7 million compared to $14 thousand for the same period last year. This is mainly attributed to the increase of interest rates worldwide during 2023 and the fact that the Company has proceeded to secure short-term time deposits.
Interest expense and finance costs
Interest expense and finance costs reached $3.1 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1.4 million in the same period of 2022. Interest expense and finance costs for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, are analyzed as follows:
In $000’s | | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
Interest payable on long-term borrowings | | | 2,735 | | | | 1,241 | |
Bank charges | | | 37 | | | | 44 | |
Operating lease liability interest | | | 23 | | | | 45 | |
Gain from termination of previous operating lease | | | - | | | | (42 | ) |
Amortization of debt discount | | | 263 | | | | 114 | |
Other finance expenses | | | 19 | | | | 26 | |
Total | | | 3,077 | | | | 1,428 | |
As at September 30, 2023, and 2022 we and our vessel-owning subsidiaries had outstanding borrowings under our Loan agreements of an aggregate of $54.2 million and $46 million, respectively, gross of unamortized debt discount. The increase in interest payable is mainly attributed to the increase of the outstanding balance and the increase of the weighted average interest rate from 4.93% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 to 8.2% for the same period in 2023, which is mainly attributed to the increase of SOFR rates in 2023.
Gain on derivative financial instruments
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $0.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, net of interest for the period, according to the Interest Rate Swap valuations, which follows future interest rate variations and is included in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Liquidity and capital resources
As at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, our cash and bank balances and bank deposits (including restricted cash) were $82.5 and $58.8 million, respectively.
As at September 30, 2023, the Company reported a working capital surplus of $74.1 million and was in compliance with the covenants included in the CIT loan facility.
The Company performs on a regular basis an assessment to evaluate its ability to continue as a going concern.
In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The degree of consideration depends on the facts in each case and depends on the Company’s profitability and ready access to financial resources, In certain cases, management may need to consider a wide range of factors relating to current and expected profitability, debt repayment schedules, compliance with the financial and security collateral cover ratio covenants under its existing debt agreements and potential sources of replacement financing before it can satisfy itself that the going concern basis is appropriate. The Company may need to develop detailed cash flow projections as part of its assessment in such cases. In developing estimates of future cash flows, the Company makes assumptions about the vessels’ future performance, with the significant assumptions relating to time charter equivalent rates, vessels’ operating expenses, vessels’ capital expenditures, fleet utilization, Company’s general and administrative expenses and cash flow requirements for debt servicing. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations.
The above conditions indicate that the Company is expected to be able to operate as a going concern and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report were prepared under this assumption.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $5.5 million compared to net cash generated from operating activities of $27.9 million during the respective period in 2022. The decrease in our cash generated from operating activities was mainly attributed to the decrease in our Voyage revenues from $53.2 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 to $23.8 million during the nine-month period under consideration.
Net cash generated from investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $21.6 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $22.1 million during the respective period in 2022. The amount generated from investing activities for the first nine months of 2023 is mainly attributed to the cash received from the sale of m/v Sun Globe, Sky Globe and Star Globe during the second and third quarter of 2023, partially offset by instalments for the new building with Hull No: S-1885 paid in March and September 2023, amounting to $3.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and the advances for the Hulls with No: S-K192 and S-3012 paid in August 2023 amounting to $7.5 million. Respectively, the amount used in investing activities for the nine months of 2022 is mainly attributed to the cash advances paid for the three new buildings during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.
Net cash generated from financing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:
| | Nine months ended September 30, | |

| 1. | Basis of presentation and general information |
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Globus Maritime Limited (“Globus”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). Globus was formed on July 26, 2006, under the laws of Jersey. On June 1, 2007, Globus concluded its initial public offering in the United Kingdom and its shares were admitted for trading on the Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”). On November 24, 2010, Globus was redomiciled to the Marshall Islands and its shares were admitted for trading in the United States (NASDAQ Global Market) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On November 26, 2010, Globus shares were effectively delisted from AIM.
The address of the registered office of Globus is: Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro, Marshall Islands MH96960.

The operations of the vessels are managed by Globus Shipmanagement Corp. (the “Manager”), a wholly owned Marshall Islands corporation. The Manager has an office in Greece, located at 128 Vouliagmenis Avenue, 166 74 Glyfada, Greece and provides the commercial, technical, cash management and accounting services necessary for the operation of the fleet in exchange for a management fee.

GLOBUS MARITIME LIMITED
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousands of U.S. Dollars - except for share, per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)
1. Basis of presentation and general information (continued)
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”).
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized words and expressions used herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the 2022 Annual Report.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2023 and for the nine months then ended, were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 14, 2023.
Going Concern basis of accounting:
The Company performs on a regular basis an assessment to evaluate its ability to continue as a going concern.
In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The degree of consideration depends on the facts in each case and depends on the Company’s profitability and ready access to financial resources, In certain cases, management may need to consider a wide range of factors relating to current and expected profitability, debt repayment schedules, compliance with the financial and security collateral cover ratio covenants under its existing debt agreements and potential sources of replacement financing before it can satisfy itself that the going concern basis is appropriate. The Company may need to develop detailed cash flow projections as part of its assessment in such cases. In developing estimates of future cash flows, the Company makes assumptions about the vessels’ future performance, with the significant assumptions relating to time charter equivalent rates, vessels’ operating expenses, vessels’ capital expenditures, fleet utilization, Company’s general and administrative expenses and cash flow requirements for debt servicing. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations.
As at September 30, 2023, the Company reported a total comprehensive income of $4,894 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, Cash and cash equivalents of $78,318, a working capital surplus of $74.1 million (absolute amount) and was in compliance with its debt covenants.
The above conditions indicate that the Company is expected to be able to operate as a going concern and these consolidated financial statements were prepared under this assumption.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which commenced in February 2022, has disrupted supply chains and caused instability and significant volatility in the global economy. Much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict in Ukraine, and it is possible that such instability, uncertainty and resulting volatility could significantly increase the costs of the Company and adversely affect its business, including the ability to secure charters and financing on attractive terms, and as a result, adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. Currently there is no effect on the Company’s operations.
2. Changes in Accounting policies and Recent accounting pronouncements
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, as included in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Annual Report. There have been no changes to the Company’s accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 other than the following IFRS amendments which have been adopted by the Company as of 1 January 2023:
| · | IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (Amendments). The amendments replace the requirement to disclose ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material’ accounting policies. The amendments to IAS 1 and Practice Statement 2 relate to disclosures of accounting policies in complete financial statements. |
| · | IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments). The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty, if they do not result from a correction of prior period error. |

(Amounts presented in thousands of U.S. Dollars - except for share, per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)
2. Changes in Accounting policies and Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)
| · | IAS 12 Income taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments). The amendments narrow the scope of and provide further clarity on the initial recognition exception under IAS 12 and specify how companies should account for deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction, such as leases and decommissioning obligations. |
| · | Amendment to IAS 12 Income taxes: International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules. The amendments issued in May 2023, give temporary relief from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) international tax reform. The amendments introduce: (i) a temporary exception, to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from jurisdictions implementing the global tax rules, and (ii) targeted disclosure requirements, to help investors better understand a company’s exposure to income taxes arising from the reform, particularly before legislation implementing the rules is in effect. Companies can benefit from the temporary exception immediately but are required to provide the disclosures to investors for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. |
The amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
In addition to the recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective and not adopted by the Company, as disclosed in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Annual Report, there are the following accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective and not early adopted by the Company:
| · | Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements. The amendments introduce supplemental disclosure requirements for the entities’ supplier finance arrangements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. |
IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments). The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025, with earlier application permitted. The amendments will require companies to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged into another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide.
The Company has not early adopted the above amendments and is in process of assessing the potential impact on the financial statements.

7 Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income for the period attributable to Globus shareholders by the weighted average number of shares issued, paid and outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common equity holders of the parent by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential common shares into common shares. The incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) are included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation unless such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

7 Earnings per Share (continued)
As for the three-month ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future are any incremental shares of unexercised warrants (Note 6). As the warrants were out-of-the money during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, these were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, because to do so would have anti-dilutive effect.
As for the nine-month ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future are any incremental shares of unexercised warrants (Note 6). As the warrants were out-of-the money during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, these were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, because to do so would have anti-dilutive effect.

8 Long-Term Debt, net (continued)
Following the agreement reached in August 2022 the benchmark rate was amended from LIBOR to SOFR and the applicable margin was decreased from 3.75% to 3.35%. This amendment to the loan agreement falls within the scope of Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (“Amendments”), which have been published by IASB in August 2020 and adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2021. In particular, the Company applied the practical expedient available under the Amendments and adjusted the effective interest rate when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows under CIT loan facility. No adjustment to the carrying amount of the loan was necessary. The Company has also amended its interest rate swap agreement with First Citizens Bank & Trust Company (formerly known as CIT Bank N.A.) and replaced the respective benchmark rate from LIBOR to SOFR in order to depict the change of base rate of the CIT loan facility.
In August 2023, the Company reached an agreement with First Citizens Bank & Trust Company (formerly known as CIT Bank N.A.) for a deed of accession, amendment and restatement of the CIT loan facility by the accession of an additional borrower in order to increase the loan facility from a total of $52.25 million to $77.25 million, by a top up loan amount of $25 million for the purpose of financing vessels Diamond Globe and Power Globe and for general corporate and working capital purposes of all the borrowers and Globus.

Voyage revenue
The Company enters into time charter arrangements on its vessels. These non-cancellable arrangements had remaining terms between nil days to approximately nine months as at September 30, 2023, assuming redelivery at the earliest possible date. As at December 31, 2022, the non-cancellable arrangements had remaining terms between nil days to eight and a half months, assuming redelivery at the earliest possible date. Future net minimum revenues receivable under non-cancellable operating leases as at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were as follows (vessel off-hires and dry-docking days that could occur but are not currently known are not taken into consideration; in addition early delivery of the vessels by the charterers is not accounted for):
| | September 30, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
Within one year | | | 5,049 | | | | 6,675 | |
Total | | | 5,049 | | | | 6,675 | |
These amounts include consideration for other elements of the arrangement apart from the right to use the vessel such as maintenance and crewing and its related costs.
For time charters that qualify as leases, the Company is required to disclose lease and non-lease components of lease revenue. The revenue earned under time charters is not negotiated in its two separate components, but as a whole. For purposes of determining the standalone selling price of the vessel lease and technical management service components of the Company’s time charters, the Company concluded that the residual approach would be the most appropriate method to use given that vessel lease rates are highly variable depending on shipping market conditions, the duration of such charters and the age of the vessel. The Company believes that the standalone transaction price attributable to the technical management service component, including crewing services, is more readily determinable than the price of the lease component and, accordingly, the price of the service component is estimated using data provided by its technical department, which consist of the crew expenses, maintenance and consumable costs and was approximately $4,036 and $4,900 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $13,098 and $13,612 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The lease component that is disclosed then is calculated as the difference between total revenue and the non-lease component revenue and was $3,553 and $10,876 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and $10,724 and $39,565 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Office lease contract
As further discussed in Note 4 of the 2022 Annual Report the Company has recognised a right of use asset and a corresponding liability with respect to the rental agreement of office space for its operations within a building leased by FG Europe (an affiliate of Globus’s chairman).
The depreciation charge for right-of-use assets for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was approximately $78 for both periods and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was approximately $234 and $249, respectively, and the interest expense on lease liability for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was approximately $6 and $12, respectively and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was approximately $23 and $45, respectively, and recognised in the income statement component of the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income under depreciation and interest expense and finance costs, respectively.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the current lease liabilities amounted to $270 and $321, respectively, and the non-current lease liabilities amounted to nil and $188, respectively, and are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial position.
