Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Dry Bulk Cape Holding Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Dry Bulk Cape Holding Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Group's internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating t he overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2004, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2004

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

The Group

Dry Bulk Cape Holding Inc. (the “Company”) was founded on September 16, 2003 and is incorporated in the Republic of Panama. The registered shareholders of the Company are DryLog Bulkcarriers Ltd. and Cape Shipholding Inc. (collectively, the “Shareholders”) each owning 50% of the Company’s outstanding common shares.

In January 2005, the Group granted each Shareholder the option of to purchase fifty additional common shares. In connection with this option, the authorized capital of the Company was increased to 600 common shares. Concurrently, the shares were divided into 300 shares each of Class A and Class B common shares. All shares confer the same rights and are subject to the same obligations and restrictions. This subsequent division of shares has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the period presented.

The Company has two subsidiaries; Dry Bulk Africa Ltd. (“Bulk Africa”) and Dry Bulk Australia Ltd (“Bulk Australia”). Collectively the Company and these entities are referred to as the “Group” herein. The subsidiaries were initially incorporated in Liberia, but are now incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). Each of the subsidiaries owns a bulk carrier capesize vessel; the “M.V. Africa” and the “M.V. Australia”, respectively.

The Group is engaged in international bulk carrier shipping operations. Both vessels participate in the Coeclerici Transport Cape Size Ltd. Shipping Pool (the “Shipping Pool”). Contractual participation through time charter in the Shipping Pool is through November 24, 2006, subject to mutual renewal. Approximately thirty other vessels also participate in the Shipping Pool, some these vessels being owned by related parties. Since September 2004, the Shipping Pool has been ultimately owned and managed by one of the Group’s shareholders (the “DryLog Group”).

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

The Group also prepares its consolidated financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The primary differences between US GAAP and IFRS as it relates to the Group’s published reporting for the year ended December 31, 2004 relates to its accounting for derivative financial instruments.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries (Bulk Africa and Bulk Australia). Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in full upon consolidation.

Foreign Currencies

The functional currency of the Group is the United States dollar (“USD”) because the majority of its revenues, costs, vessels purchased, and debt and trade liabilities are either priced, incurred, payable or otherwise measured in USD. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into USD using the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated into foreign currencies are translated into USD, at year end rates. All resulting exchange differences are dealt with in the consolidated statement of income.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

Revenue Recognition

The Group’s revenue under its Shipping Pool time charter arrangements are based on an allocation of the Shipping Pool’s annual distributed income. Shipping Pool annual distributable income is initially attributed to each member vessel on the basis of a key figure, expressing the relative theoretical earnings capacity of the member vessel, based on the cargo carrying capacity, capability and efficiency of operation in and between respective trades in which the member vessels are employed, and on any deficiency attributable to any member vessel including the consequence of such member vessel’s age, flag or crewing. The Shipping Pool’s annual distributable income is then allocated giving weighting to each vessel and the number of days the vessel was available for charter excluding off-hire periods. The off-hire periods for each vessel consist of dry-docking, laid-up periods, extended perio ds of break-down and other mutually agreed periods.

The Shipping Pool’s annual distributed income is computed based on the Shipping Pool Manager’s interpretation of the terms of the underlying Shipping Pool Agreement, and as ultimately agreed on an annual basis by the Shipping Pool’s Committee. The Shipping Pool periodically enters into freight forward and bunker hedging contracts in an attempt to hedge the availability of the pool fleet and stabilize the amount of the Shipping Pool’s income to be allocated to Shipping Pool participants. These derivative contracts are accounted for by the Shipping Pool on a cash basis when determining the amount of income that it will distribute annually. Each Shipping Pool participant’s proportionate share of Shipping Pool derivative contract settlements (contingent rental income) is treated as a component of the annual distributed income when ultimately realized.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Group does not maintain cash accounts in its own name. Rather, Shipping Pool distributions are received by the DryLog Group on the Group’s behalf. Then, the operating, financing and investing activities of the Group are paid by the DryLog Group on the Group’s behalf. These amounts are then settled with the Group through related party reimbursement (due to / from) accounts. The Group has a receivable from DryLog Bulkcarriers Ltd. of $170,231 as of December 31, 2004. Interest income during the year ended December 31, 2004 related to these settlements was $19,504.

Voyage and Dry-Docking Costs

Voyage expenses are direct costs incurred to operate the Group’s two vessels. These costs are recognized as incurred.

The Group defers certain costs related to the dry-docking of vessels. Deferred dry-docking costs are capitalized as incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period between dry-dockings (generally 5 years).

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include accounts and other receivables, trade and other payables as well as long term debt. The Group is also party to financial instruments that reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These interest rate swap arrangements are initially recorded at cost and are remeasured to fair value at subsequent reporting dates. The fair value of all financial instruments approximates their carrying values.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated as effective cash flow hedges are recognized directly as a component of shareholders’ equity. Amounts presented as a component of shareholders’ equity are recognized in the income statement in the same period in which the hedged firm commitment or forecasted transaction affects net income (loss). Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as they arise.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. All inventories, other than maintenance and operating supplies are stated at first-in, first-out.

As of December 31, 2004, inventories consisted of vessel lubricants in the amount of $204,203.

Vessels, net

The Group’s two vessels are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Vessels are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Each vessel's life was estimated at 25 years from the date of construction and its residual value is based on its scrap value.

Major renovation costs and modifications are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life. Ordinary maintenance and repair costs that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged to operations as incurred.

The carrying values of vessels are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are written down to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of vessels is the greater of net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized immediately in the consolida ted statement of income.

Income Taxes

Although the Company is incorporated in the Republic of Panama it has no business activities in Panama. Earnings from transactions that are completed, consummated or take effects outside Panama, are not considered to taxable in Panama. Dividends received by Panamanian companies are only taxed when derived from taxable income. Consequently, dividends received from the Company’s BVI subsidiaries are not subject to taxation. Revenues arising from international shipping commerce of national merchant ships legally registered in Panama, even if the shipping contract have been entered into Panama, are also specifically exempt from taxation.

Bulk Africa Ltd. and Bulk Australia Ltd. are currently incorporated in the BVI. Based on their activities, they are categorized as International Business Companies (“IBC”) and thus not subject to taxation in the BVI. There are no withholding taxes on the distribution of IBC profits as dividends to the Company.

The Group provides for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109,“Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under Statement No. 109, the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to reflect the uncertainty associated with their ultimate realization.

Due to the nature of the Group’s operations, no income taxes have been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FIN 46

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”). Under FIN 46, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity in which the equity investment holders have not contributed sufficient capital to finance its activities or the equity investment holders lack adequate decision making ability. FIN 46 requires consolidation of a VIE by the enterprise that has the majority of the risks and rewards of ownership, referred to as the primary beneficiary.

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003)” (“FIN 46(R)”), clarifying FIN 46 and exempting certain entities from the provisions of FIN 46. Generally, application of FIN 46(R) is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in structures commonly referred to as special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003, and, for other types of VIEs, for periods ending after March 15, 2004.

The adoption of FIN 46 and FIN 46(R) did not have any impact on the Group’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

FAS 123R

In December of 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Statement No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows." Statement No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosures are no longer an alternative. Statement No. 123(R) is effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2005.

The Group does not expect Statement No. 123(R) to have an effect on the consolidated financial statements as it currently does not have any stock-based compensation arrangements.

FAS 151

In November 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs”, an amendment of the Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4. The amendments made by Statement 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.

The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. The Group believes that the adoption of the provisions of Statement No.151 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

FAS 153

In December 2004, the FASB published FASB Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Non Monetary Assets an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. This statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of non monetary assets. It eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for non monetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion 29, and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. This statement specifies that a non monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Statement No. 153 is effective for non monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, however early adoption is possible.
