Revenues

Drybulk Carrier segment

Voyage revenues decreased by $48.4 million, or 26.0%, to $138.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $186.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. A decrease of $58.1 million, or 31.2%, is attributable to lower hire rates during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in 2012, which was partially offset by an increase of $6.4 million or 3.4% attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels by 1.3 vessels, with total voyage days increasing by 315 from 9,715 days to 10,030 days, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. Amortization of above-market acquired time charters decreased by $3.3 million, or 1.8%, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in 2012, due to a smaller number of time charters being amortized during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in 2012.
 
Tanker segment

Voyage revenues increased by $59.2 million, or 206.3%, to $87.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $28.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase is attributable to a larger fleet in the first nine months of 2013 comprised of ten vessels (Saga, Vilamoura, Daytona, Belmar, Calida, Petalidi, Lipari, Alicante, Mareta and Bordeira), as compared to a fleet comprised of seven vessels (Saga, Vilamoura, Daytona, Belmar, Calida, Petalidi and Lipari) in the first nine months of 2012.
 
Offshore Drilling segment

Revenues from drilling contracts increased by $122.6 million, or 17.2%, to $834.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $712.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to the revenue from equipment testing of the Ocean Rig Mylos which was added to the current fleet of the Company, amounting to $1.8 million and the Ocean Rig Athena which contributed $0.4 million due to recharges while under construction as agreed under contract terms. Moreover, there was an increase in operation days of the Ocean Rig Mykonos, the Ocean Rig Olympia and the Ocean Rig Corcovado within the period, as a result of the decrease in mobilization days due to the mobilization of the respective drillships to their drilling locations offshore Brazil in 2012, which contributed, in aggregate, $390.3 million of revenues during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $286.5 million during the same period in 2012. This increase was partly offset by the decreased revenues earned by the Ocean Rig Poseidon, which contributed $153.7 million in  revenues during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $168.8 million revenues during the same period in 2012. The Eirik Raude contributed an additional $54.3 million in revenues during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, which increase was offset by decreased revenues earned by the Leiv Eiriksson, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, amounting to $22.6 million less than the same period in 2012, due to  the Leiv Eiriksson's  mobilization and upgrade period. The maximum day rates for the contracts on which our drilling units were employed during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, ranged approximately between $431,000 and $670,000 per day. The maximum day rates for the contracts on which our drilling units were employed during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, ranged approximately between $441,000 and $675,000. Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, include $24.6 million for loss of hire insurance recovery related to the Ocean Rig Corcovado.

Voyage expenses

Drybulk Carrier segment

Voyage expenses increased by $7.1 million, or 50.0%, to $21.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $14.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase in voyage expenses is due to the significant increase in bunkers expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as a result of the increase in the number of ballast trips performed within the period, which was partly offset by the lower hire rates as compared to the relevant period in 2012 that resulted in lower brokerage and address commissions.
 
Tanker segment

Voyage expenses increased by $49.3 million, or 1,202.4%, to $53.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $4.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase is attributable to a larger fleet in the first nine months of 2013 comprising of ten vessels (Saga, Vilamoura, Daytona, Belmar, Calida, Petalidi, Lipari, Alicante, Mareta and Bordeira), which operated mainly under voyage charters, as compared to a fleet comprising of seven vessels (Saga, Vilamoura, Daytona, Belmar, Calida, Lipari and Petalidi) in the first nine months of 2012, which operated in commercial pools.

The decrease in operating expenses was mainly due to the significant decrease of operating expenses of the Eirik Raude, the Leiv Eiriksson and the Ocean Rig Poseidon amounting to $35.4 million in aggregate  due to their mobilization and upgrades that took place during the first nine months of 2013. The total decrease was partly offset by the increase in the operation days of the Ocean Rig Mykonos, the Ocean Rig Olympia and the Ocean Rig Corcovado, resulting in operating expenses of $179.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $165.5 million during the same period in 2012 due to the mobilization of the respective drillships to their drilling locations offshore Brazil in 2012 and the additional operating expenses relating to the Ocean Rig Mylos which was added to the Company's fleet amounting to $0.3 million.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense

Drybulk Carrier segment

Depreciation and amortization expense increased slightly by $1.0 million, or 1.4%, to $71.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $70.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

The increase is attributable to a larger fleet of depreciable vessels for the first nine months of 2013, as compared to the same period of 2012.
 
Offshore Drilling segment

Depreciation and amortization expense for the drilling units increased by $2.2 million, or 1.3%, to $171.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to $168.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was mainly attributable to the depreciation expense of Ocean Rig Mylos which was added to the current fleet, amounting to $3.6 million as well as the increased depreciation of the Ocean Rig Mykonos and the Leiv Eiriksson amounting to $4.5 million in aggregate and the increase in the office depreciation expense by $0.1 million. This increase was partly offset by the decrease in depreciation expense of $6.2 million in aggregate related to the depreciation of the Ocean Rig Corcovado and the Eirik Raude. The depreciation expense charged for the Ocean Rig Poseidon and the Ocean Rig Olympia remained approximately the same for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in 2012.

Income taxes
 
Drybulk Carrier segment
 
We did not incur any income taxes on international shipping income in our Drybulk Carrier segment for the relevant periods.
 
Tanker segment
 
We did not incur any income taxes on international shipping income in our Tanker segment for the relevant periods.
 
Offshore Drilling segment
 
Income taxes increased by $2.5 million, or 7.7%, to $35.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to $32.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. As our drilling units operate around the world, they may become subject to taxation in many different jurisdictions. The basis for such taxation depends on the relevant regulation in the countries in which we operate. Consequently, there is no expected relationship between the income tax expense or benefit for the period and the income or loss before taxes.

As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $506.2 million and $172.3 million of restricted cash related to (i) bank deposits which are used to fund the loan installments coming due, (or "retention accounts"); (ii) bank deposits permanently blocked as cash collateral; and (iii) required minimum cash and cash equivalents, (or "minimum liquidity").

Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $164.2  million, or 48.0%, to $506.2 million as of September 30, 2013, compared to $342.0 million as of December 31, 2012 and our restricted cash decreased by $206.2 million, or 54.5%, to $172.3 million as of September 30, 2013, compared to $378.5 million as of December 31, 2012. The increase in our cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to the net proceeds of borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities amounting to $2,532.6 million in the aggregate, proceeds of $123.0 million, in connection with the sale of common shares of Ocean Rig UDW Inc., our majority-owned subsidiary ("Ocean Rig"), owned by us, the release of $206.2 million from restricted cash and cash generated from operations of $53.2 million, which were partly offset by loan repayments of $1,707.1 million and net payments of financing fees of $81.0 million, advances for vessels and drilling units under construction amounting to $255.2 million and $706.6 million, respectively, paid in connection with vessel and drilling rig acquisitions and improvements. Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities (including the current portion of long-term debt). As of September 30, 2013, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $393.9 million, compared to a working capital deficit of $670.0 million as of December 31, 2012. The decrease in our working capital deficit by $276.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, is primarily due to the increase in the cash and cash equivalents and receivables and the decrease in the current portion of long term debt. We believe that we will be able to satisfy our liquidity needs for the next 12 months with the cash we generate from our operations and proceeds from future debt or equity issuances.

Since our formation, our principal source of funds has been equity provided by our shareholders through equity offerings or at-the-market sales, operating cash flows and long-term borrowings. Our principal use of funds has been capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, the maintenance of the quality of our vessels, compliance with international shipping standards, environmental laws and regulations, the funding of working capital requirements, principal repayments on outstanding loan facilities and the payment of dividends.

As of September 30, 2013, we had total indebtedness of $5.4 billion under our senior secured credit facilities and senior secured and unsecured notes, excluding unamortized financing fees.

Please refer to the discussion on Long-term Debt as detailed in Note 11 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report Form 20-F (File No. 001-33922) for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Commission on March 22, 2013 and Note 9 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Cash flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $53.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, net loss was adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items including $260.9 million of depreciation and amortization, $41.3 million of amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs, $32.2 million of amortization of deferred convertible senior debt costs and $8.1 million of non-cash stock based compensation expenses. In addition, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, net loss was also adjusted for the effects of non-cash items, such as the gain in the change in the fair value of derivatives of $76.9 million and amortization of above market value acquired time charters of $8.0 million. Net loss was also adjusted for the impairment loss amounting to $43.5 million. The Company had net cash outflows from the changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $74.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities was $213.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

Net cash used in investing activities was $756.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013. The Company made payments of $255.2 million for advances for vessels and drilling units under construction, $706.6 million for vessels and drilling rig acquisitions and improvements and 0.7 million for short term investments. These cash outflows were offset by the decrease of $206.2 million in the amount of cash deposits required by our lenders. Net cash used in investing activities was $177.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $867.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, consisting mainly of the borrowings of $2,532.6 million under our long-term credit facilities, the net proceeds of $123.0 million in connection with the sale of common shares of Ocean Rig owned by us and the refund of financing costs of $5.9 million, which were offset by $86.9 million in payments for financing costs and repayments of debt totaling $1,707.1 million under our long-term credit facilities. Net cash provided in financing activities was $330.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

Financing activities

Long-term debt

As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our debt agreements relating to our offshore drilling fleet, but were in breach of certain financial covenants, mainly the interest coverage ratio, contained in our loan agreements relating to our drybulk and tanker fleets, referred to collectively as our shipping segment, under which a total of $710.7 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2013. Even though to date none of the lenders has declared an event of default under the loan agreements for which we were not in compliance as of September 30, 2013, these breaches constitute events of default and may result in the lenders requiring immediate repayment of the loans. As a result of the aforementioned non-compliance and the cross-acceleration and cross-default provisions contained in our bank facilities relating to our shipping segment, we have classified the indebtedness under our bank facilities relating to our shipping segment, amounting to $1.0 billion in the aggregate as of September 30, 2013, as current liabilities. For more information, see "Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Breach of Financial Covenants under Secured Credit Facilities" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Commission on March 22, 2013.

We are currently in negotiations with our lenders to obtain waivers of our covenant breaches and extend our existing waivers of covenant breaches, or to restructure the affected debt. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain our lenders' waiver or consent, or extensions of existing waivers, with respect to the aforementioned noncompliance under our credit facilities relating to our shipping segment, or any non-compliance with specified financial ratios or financial covenants under future financial obligations we may enter into, or that we will be able to refinance or restructure any such indebtedness. If we fail to remedy, or obtain a waiver of the breaches of the covenants discussed above, our lenders may accelerate our indebtedness under the relevant credit facilities, which could trigger the cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions contained in our other credit facilities relating to our shipping segment, under which a total of $710.7 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2013. If our indebtedness is accelerated, it will be very difficult in the current financing environment for us to refinance our debt or obtain additional financing and we could lose our vessels if our lenders foreclose their liens. In addition, if the value of our adjustment to our financial statements, which would adversely affect our financial results and further hinder our ability to raise capital.
 
 
Management expects that the lenders will not demand payment of the loans relating to our shipping segment under which we were in breach as of September 30, 2013, before their maturity, provided that we pay scheduled loan installments and accumulated or accrued interest as they fall due under the existing credit facilities. Management plans to settle the loan interest and scheduled loan repayments with cash expected to be generated from operations and from financing activities. In addition, if conditions in the drybulk charter, tanker and offshore drilling markets decline from current levels and the market value of our vessels decline even further, we may seek to restructure our outstanding indebtedness.  For more information, see Note 9 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.

On February 28, 2013, Ocean Rig entered into a secured term loan facilities agreement with a syndicate of lenders and DNB Bank ASA in the amount of $1.35 billion to partially finance the construction costs of the Ocean Rig Mylos, our seventh generation drillship delivered on August 19, 2013 and the Ocean Rig Skyros and the Ocean Rig Athena, two of our seventh generation drillships scheduled for delivery during the first quarter of 2014. In addition, during the nine months period ended September 30, 2013, the Company concluded two Memoranda of Agreement for the sale of its two Capesize newbuildings, H1241 and H1242, which were delivered to their new owners during May and June 2013, respectively and reduced its capital commitments by $71.0 million. In addition, during the nine-month ended September 30, 2013, the Company sold via novation its two Very Large Ore Carrier newbuildings scheduled for delivery during the fourth quarter 2013 and the first quarter 2014 and reduced its capital commitments by $95.0 million.

On August 30, 2013, Ocean Rig, signed a contract to construct a 7th generation ultra deepwater drillship at Samsung Heavy Industries. This 7th generation drillship is a sister ship to the three drillships currently under construction at Samsung (Ocean Rig Skyros, Ocean Rig Athena and Ocean Rig Apollo), and is scheduled to be delivered to Ocean Rig in December of 2015. The project value price is estimated to be approximately $600 million. Ocean Rig is currently the beneficiary of a fixed price option of $550.0 million, exercisable at no extra cost and prior to November 30, 2013, for an additional drillship to be delivered in the first quarter of 2016.

As of September 30, 2013, we had $1.7 billion of remaining installment payments under our drybulk, tanker and drillship newbuilding contracts. We have not obtained financing for our four newbuilding Panamax and two newbuilding drillship. We plan to finance these capital expenditures, amounting to $986.5 million in the aggregate, with new debt or equity financing.

The annual principal payments required to be made after September 30, 2013, including balloon payments, totaling $5,374,266 due through May 2025 are as follows:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.

The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection therewith. This document and any other written or oral statements made by the Company or on its behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect its current views with respect to future events and financial performance. This document includes assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events. These statements are intended as "forward-looking statements." The Company cautions that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events may and often do vary from actual results and the differences can be material. When used in this document, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "forecast," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," and "expect" reflect forward-looking statements.

All statements in this document that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, such matters as:

·
future operating or financial results;

·
statements about planned, pending or recent acquisitions, business strategy and expected capital spending or operating expenses, including drydocking and insurance costs;

·
the Company's ability to enter into new contracts for drilling rigs and drillships and future utilization rates and contract rates for drilling rigs and drillships;

·
future capital expenditures and investments in the construction, acquisition and refurbishment of drilling rigs and drillships (including the amount and nature thereof and the timing of completion thereof);

·
statements about drybulk and tanker shipping market trends, including charter rates and factors affecting supply and demand;

·
the Company's ability to obtain additional financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements;

·
expectations regarding the availability of vessel acquisitions; and

·
anticipated developments with respect to pending litigation.

The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although DryShips believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company's control, DryShips cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections described in the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

Important factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter rates and drybulk vessel, drilling unit and tanker values, failure of a seller to deliver one or more drilling units, tankers or drybulk vessels, failure of a buyer to accept delivery of a drilling unit, tanker or vessel, inability to procure acquisition financing, default by one or more charterers of the Company's ships, changes in demand for drybulk commodities or oil, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers, scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in DryShips' voyage and operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hires, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, international hostilities and political events or acts by terrorists and other factors.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
(Expressed in thousands of United States Dollars – except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)


1. Basis of Presentation and General Information:
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DryShips Inc. its subsidiaries and consolidated Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") (collectively, the "Company" or "DryShips"). DryShips was formed on September 9, 2004, under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The Company is a provider of international seaborne drycargo and oil transportation services and deepwater drilling rig services.
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2013.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only 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, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
 
2. Significant Accounting policies:
 
Described below are the accounting standards that were adopted in the first nine months of 2013. A discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2013 (the "Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012"). There have been no material changes to these policies in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.

Comprehensive Income - Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Within the period the Company adopted the requirements of ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income". The objective of this Update is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. However, the amendments require an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.

 3. Going concern

As of September 30, 2013, the drilling segment was in compliance with its financial covenants while the shipping segment was in breach of certain financial covenants, mainly the interest coverage ratio, contained in the Company's loan agreements relating to $710,688 of the Company's debt, excluding deferred financing fees. Even though as of to date none of the lenders have declared an event of default under the loan agreements, these breaches constitute events of default and may result in the lenders requiring immediate repayment of the loans. As a result of this non-compliance and of the cross default provisions contained in all bank loan agreements of the shipping segment, the Company has classified the respective bank loans amounting to $1,024,266 as current liabilities (Note 9). As a result, the Company reported a working capital deficit of $393,851 at September 30, 2013.
 
In addition and as further discussed in Note 13, the Company's expected short term capital commitments to fund the construction installments under the shipbuilding contracts in the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2014, amount to $883,858. Cash expected to be generated from operations assuming that current market charter hire rates would prevail in the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2014, may not be sufficient to cover the Company's capital commitments. The Company expects to finance its capital commitments with cash on hand, operational cash flow and debt or equity issuances.

On February 28, 2013, the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Ocean Rig UDW Inc. ("Ocean Rig") completed a $1.35 billion syndicated secured term loan facility to partially finance the construction costs of the Ocean Rig Mylos, the Ocean Rig Skyros and the Ocean Rig Athena (Note 9). In addition, on February 14, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of an aggregate of 7,500,000 common shares of Ocean Rig owned by DryShips and received approximately $123,084 of net proceeds from the public offering (Note 11).

On July 12, 2013, Ocean Rig, entered into a $1.8 billion senior secured term loan facility and repaid in full amounts outstanding under Ocean Rig's $800.0 million secured term loan agreement and two $495.0 million senior secured credit facilities, amounting to approximately $1.6 billion in the aggregate (Note 9).

On October 4, 2013, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the universal shelf registration statement on Form F-3 filed on August 30, 2013, pursuant to an at-the-market offering for up to $200,000 of the Company's common shares. During October 2013, 5,891,234 common shares were issued and sold pursuant to the at-the-market offering, resulting in net proceeds of $20,245, after deducting commissions.

The Company is currently in negotiations with its lenders to obtain waivers, waiver extensions or to restructure the affected debt. Management expects that the lenders will not demand payment of the loans before their maturity, provided that the Company pays scheduled loan installments and accumulated or accrued interest as they fall due under the existing credit facilities. Management plans to settle the loan interest and scheduled loan repayments with cash expected to be generated from operations and from financing activities.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, the amounts and classification of liabilities, or any other adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

4. Transactions with Related Parties - continued:

TMS Bulkers Ltd. - TMS Tankers Ltd.:
 
Effective January 1, 2011, each of the Company's drybulk vessel-owning subsidiaries entered into new management agreements with TMS Bulkers Ltd. ("TMS Bulkers"), which replaced the Company's management agreements with Cardiff Marine Inc. ("Cardiff" or the "Manager"), a related technical and commercial management company incorporated in Liberia, that were effective as of September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 and each of the Company's tanker ship-owning subsidiaries entered into new management agreements with TMS Tankers Ltd. ("TMS Tankers" and together with TMS Bulkers, the "Managers" ). The Managers are beneficially owned by George Economou.
 
TMS Bulkers provides comprehensive drybulk ship management services, including technical supervision, such as repairs, maintenance and inspections, safety and quality, crewing and training as well as supply provisioning. TMS Bulkers' commercial management services include operations, chartering, sale and purchase, post-fixture administration, accounting, freight invoicing and insurance. Each new vessel management agreement provides for a fixed management fee, in the same amount as the fee that was charged by Cardiff under the Company's previous management agreements effective from September 1, 2010, of Euro 1,500 ($2,028 based on the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate at September 30, 2013) per vessel per day, which is payable in equal monthly installments in advance and is automatically adjusted each year to the Greek Consumer Price Index for the previous year by not less than 3% and not more than 5%. Effective January 1, 2012, the fixed management fee was adjusted by 3% to Euro 1,545 ($2,089 based on the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate at September 30, 2013).
 
If TMS Bulkers is requested to supervise the construction of a newbuilding vessel, in lieu of the management fee, the Company will pay TMS Bulkers an upfront fee equal to 10% of the budgeted supervision cost. For any additional attendance above the budgeted superintendent expenses, the Company will be charged extra at a standard rate of Euro 500 (or $676 based on the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate at September 30, 2013) per day.
 
TMS Tankers provides comprehensive tanker ship management services, including technical supervision, such as repairs, maintenance and inspections, safety and quality, crewing and training as well as supply provisioning. TMS Tankers' commercial management services include operations, chartering, sale and purchase, post-fixture administration, accounting, freight invoicing and insurance. Under the management agreements, TMS Tankers is entitled to a construction supervisory fee of 10% of the budget for the vessels under construction, payable up front in lieu of the fixed management fee. Once the vessel is operating, TMS Tankers is entitled to a daily management fee per vessel of Euro 1,700 ($2,299 based on the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate at September 30, 2013), payable in equal monthly installments in advance and automatically adjusted each year to the Greek Consumer Price Index for the previous year by not less than 3% and not more than 5%. Effective January 1, 2012, the fixed management fee was adjusted by 3% to Euro 1,751 ($2,368 based on the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate at September 30, 2013).
 
Under their respective agreements, the Managers are also entitled to (i) a discretionary incentive fee, (ii) a commission of 1.25% on charter hire agreements that are arranged by the Managers; and (iii) a commission of 1% of the purchase price on sales or purchases of vessels in the Company's fleet that are arranged by the Managers.
 
In the event that the management agreements are terminated for any reason other than a default by the Managers or change of control of the Company's ownership, the Company will be required to pay the management fee for a further period of three calendar months as from the date of termination.
 
In the event of a change of control of the Company's ownership the Company will be required to pay the Managers a termination payment, representing an amount equal to the estimated remaining fees payable to the Managers under the then current term of the agreement which such payment shall not be less than the fees for a period of 36 months and not more than a period of 48 months.

4. Transactions with Related Parties - continued:

TMS Bulkers Ltd. - TMS Tankers Ltd. - continued:
 
 
Each management agreement has an initial term of five years and will be automatically renewed for a five-year period and thereafter extended in five-year increments, unless the Company provides notice of termination in the fourth quarter of the year immediately preceding the end of the respective term.
 
Transactions with TMS Bulkers and TMS Tankers in Euros are settled on the basis of the average U.S. Dollar rate on the invoice date.
 
Global Services Agreement: On December 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Global Services Agreement with Cardiff, effective December 21, 2010, pursuant to which the Company engaged Cardiff to act as consultant on matters of chartering and sale and purchase transactions for the offshore drilling units operated by the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Ocean Rig. Under the Global Services Agreement, Cardiff, or its subcontractor, (i) provided consulting services related to the identification, sourcing, negotiation and arrangement of new employment for offshore assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's drilling units; and (ii) identified, sourced, negotiated and arranged the sale or purchase of the offshore assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's drilling units. In consideration of such services, the Company paid Cardiff a fee of 1.0% in connection with employment arrangements and 0.75% in connection with sale and purchase activities.
 
Effective January 1, 2013, the Company terminated the Global Services Agreement with Cardiff. The Global Services Agreement has been replaced by the New Global Services Agreement, effective January 1, 2013, between Ocean Rig Management Inc. ("Ocean Rig Management"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ocean Rig and Cardiff Drilling Inc. ("Cardiff Drilling" formerly known as Cardiff Oil & Gas Management), a company controlled by the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. George Economou, on the same terms and conditions as in the previous Global Services Agreement between the Company and Cardiff, except that under the New Global Services Agreement, Ocean Rig is obligated to pay directly the fees of 1.0% in consideration of employment arrangements under the agreement and $0.75% in consideration of purchase and sale activities under the agreement, whereas under the Global Services Agreement, those fees were paid by DryShips Inc.
 
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred a cost of $4,143 and $56, as fees relating to the Global Services Agreement regarding employment arrangements and sale and purchase activities, respectively. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred a cost of $7,209 and $3,927, as fees relating to the New Global Services Agreement regarding employment arrangements and sale and purchase activities respectively.

Transactions with Cardiff in Euros were settled on the basis of the average USD rate on the invoice date.
 
George Economou: As the Company's Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and principal shareholder, with a 14.8% shareholding, George Economou has the ability to exert influence over the operations of the Company. In April 2012, companies affiliated with the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer purchased a total of 2,185,000 common shares of Ocean Rig in the public offering by Ocean Rig of common shares of Ocean Rig owned by DryShips that was completed on April 17, 2012 (Note 11).

Convertible Senior Notes and Related Borrow Facility
 
In conjunction with the Company's public offering of an aggregate of $460,000 and $240,000 aggregate principal amount of 5% Convertible unsecured Senior Notes (the "Notes") in November 2009 and April 2010, respectively (collectively, the "Convertible Senior Notes" or the "Notes"), the Company entered into share lending agreements with an affiliate of the underwriter of the offering, or the share borrower, pursuant to which the Company loaned the share borrower approximately 36,100,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Under the share lending agreements, the share borrower is required to return the borrowed shares when the Notes are no longer outstanding.

9. Long-term Debt - continued:

The fair value of the outstanding loaned shares as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013, was $40,160 and $53,454, respectively. On the day of the Notes issuance the fair value of the share lending agreements was determined to be $14,476, based on a 5.5% interest rate of the Notes without the share lending agreement and was recorded as debt issuance cost. Amortization of the issuance costs associated with the share lending agreement during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, was $2,233 and $2,225, respectively, and is included in "Interest and finance costs." The unamortized balance as of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013, was $5,707 and $3,482, respectively.

Effective September 19, 2011, the applicable conversion price of the Notes changed to $6.9 per share. The previous conversion price of $7.19 per share was adjusted downward in connection with the Company's partial spin off of Ocean Rig common stock held by the Company. Since the Company's stock price was below the Notes conversion price of $6.9 as of September 30, 2013, the if-converted value did not exceed the principal amount of the Notes.

The total interest expense related to the Notes in the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, was $54,885 and $58,458, respectively, of which $28,635 and $32,208, respectively, are non-cash amortization of the discount on the liability component and $26,250 and $26,250, respectively, are the contractual interest paid semi-annually at a coupon rate of 5% per year. At December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013, the net carrying amount of the liability component and unamortized discount were $610,969 and $643,178, respectively, and $89,031 and $56,822, respectively.
 
The Company's interest expense associated with the $460,000 aggregate principal amount and $240,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes is accretive based on an effective interest rate of 12% and 14%, respectively.
 
Ocean Rig's 9.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016

On April 27, 2011, Ocean Rig issued $500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9.5% senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the "OCR UDW Notes") offered in a private placement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $487.5 million. The OCR UDW Notes are unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness and equally in right of payment to all of Ocean Rig's existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.
 
The OCR UDW Notes are not guaranteed by any of the Company's subsidiaries. Upon a change of control, which occurs if 50% or more of Ocean Rig's shares are acquired by any person or group other than DryShips or its affiliates, the noteholders will have an option to require Ocean Rig to purchase all outstanding notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The contractual semi-annual coupon interest rate is 9.5% per year.
 
On April 26, 2011, DryShips agreed to purchase from three unaffiliated companies OCR UDW Notes in the total aggregate principal amount of $75,000. During the period from May 19, 2011 to July 27, 2011, the Company sold to third parties these senior unsecured notes with notional amount of $57,000 resulting in a gain of $1,406. During the period from March 15, 2012 to March 30, 2012, the remaining $18,000 of senior unsecured notes were also sold to third parties with a notional amount of $18,000 resulting in a gain of $709.

9. Long-term Debt - continued:

The above loans and secured notes are secured by a first priority mortgage over the Company's vessels, rigs and drillships, corporate guarantees, a first priority assignment of all freights, earnings, insurances and requisition compensation and pledges of the shares of capital stock of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company's secured loan agreements contain certain operating and negative covenants, which may limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, without the lender's prior consent, change the flag, class, management or ownership of the vessels and drillships mortgaged under such facilities, incur additional indebtedness, create or permit to exist liens on the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries, make loans, make investments or capital expenditures, change the general nature of the Company's business and undergo a change in ownership or control.

In addition, some of the vessels' owning companies are not permitted to pay any dividends to DryShips, nor is DryShips permitted to pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of its common shares to its shareholders, without the lender's prior consent. The loans also contain certain financial covenants relating to the Company's financial position, operating performance and liquidity, including minimum working capital requirements.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with certain loan-to-value ratios contained in certain of its loan agreements relating to its shipping segment. These loan-to-value ratio shortfalls do not constitute events of default that would automatically trigger the full repayment of the loan. Based on the loan agreements, loan-to-value shortfalls may be remedied by the Company by providing additional collateral or repaying the amount of the shortfall. In addition, as of September 30, 2013, the Company was in breach of certain financial covenants, mainly the interest coverage ratio, contained in the Company's loan agreements relating to its shipping segment, under which a total of $693,188was outstanding as of September 30, 2013 (Note 3). As a result of this non-compliance and of the cross default provisions contained in all of the Company's bank loan agreements relating to its shipping segment and in accordance with guidance related to the classification of obligations that are callable by the creditor, the Company has classified all of the amounts outstanding under its bank loans relating to its shipping segment that were in breach as of September 30, 2013, amounting to $1,024,266, as current at September 30, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all the financial covenants contained in its debt agreements relating to its drilling segment.
 
Total interest incurred on long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs, including capitalized interest, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, amounted to $162,949 and $217,489, respectively. These amounts net of capitalized interest of $41,791 and $53,010, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively, are included in "Interest and finance costs" in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The annual principal payments required to be made after September 30, 2013, including balloon payments, totaling $5,374,266 due through May 2025 are as follows:

10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements:

ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company removed the designation of the cash flow hedges and discontinued hedge accounting for the associated interest rate swaps.
 
The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheets.
 
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that have not been designated as hedging instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Company enters into interest rate swap transactions to manage interest costs and risk associated with changing interest rates with respect to its variable interest rate loans and credit facilities. All of the Company's derivative transactions are entered into for risk management purposes.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding 33 interest rate swap agreements of $3.4 billion notional amount, maturing from September 2014 through November 2017.

As of December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013, security deposits of $8,000 and $3,000 respectively were provided as security by the Company (Note 5). These amounts are expected to be released upon the delivery of Ocean Rig Skyros which is expected to be delivered during the first quarter of 2014.

Tabular disclosure of financial instruments is as follows:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable and other current liabilities reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their respective fair values because of the short term nature of these accounts. The fair value of credit facilities is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt of the same remaining maturities. Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of the credit facilities. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for the floating rate loans. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on market-based LIBOR swap yield curves, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of both the financial instrument counterparty and the Company. The Convertible Senior Notes, the OCR UDW Notes and the Drill Rigs Notes, have a fixed rate and their estimated fair values were determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy (quoted price in the over-the counter-market). The fair value of the

outstanding loan balance which have a fixed rate is estimated through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.The estimated fair value of the above Convertible Senior Notes, OCR UDW Notes, Drill Rigs Notes and loan at September 30, 2013, are approximately $685,951, $530,000, $825,664 and $1,962,980, respectively, compared to a carrying amount net of financing fees of $637,095, $493,339 $783,583 and $1,841,207, respectively.
 
The guidance for fair value measurements 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 statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
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 summarizes the valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the valuation date.

13. Commitment and contingencies:
 
13.1 Legal proceedings

Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping and drilling business.

The Company has obtained hull and machinery insurance for the assessed market value of the Company's fleet and protection and indemnity insurance. However, such insurance coverage may not provide sufficient funds to protect the Company from all liabilities that could result from its operations in all situations. Risks against which the Company may not be fully insured or insurable include environmental liabilities, which may result from a blow-out or similar accident, or liabilities resulting from reservoir damage alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the Company.
 
As part of the normal course of operations, the Company's customers may disagree on amounts due to the Company under the provision of the contracts which are normally settled though negotiations with the customer. Disputed amounts are normally reflected in revenues at such time as the Company reaches agreement with the customer on the amounts due.
 
On July 17, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the vessel Toro, a 1995-built 73,034 dwt Panamax drybulk carrier, to Samsun Logix Corporation ("Samsun") for the price of approximately $63.4 million. On January 29, 2009, the Company reached an agreement with the buyers whereby the price was reduced to $36.0 million. As part of the agreement, the buyers released the deposit of $6.3 million to the Company immediately and were required to make a new deposit of $1.5 million towards the revised purchase price. On February 13, 2009, the Company proceeded with the cancellation of the sale agreement due to the buyers' failure to pay the new deposit of $1.5 million. In February 2009, Samsun was placed in corporate rehabilitation. In February 2010, Samsun's plan of reorganization was approved by its creditors. As part of this plan, the Company will recover a certain percentage of the agreed-upon purchase price.

As this is contingent on the successful implementation of the plan of reorganization, the Company is unable to estimate the impact on the Company's financial statements.
 
On March 5, 2009, a complaint against certain of the Company's current and former directors was filed in the High Court of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, captioned Rosenquist v. Economou, et al. (Case No. 2009-056). The Rosenquist complaint, which was amended on August 14, 2009, sought an unspecified amount of damages and alleged that the defendants had breached certain fiduciary duties owed to the Company in connection with the termination of the acquisition of four Panamax drybulk carriers and nine Capesize drybulk carriers. The complaint also sought the disgorgement of all payments made in connection with the termination of these acquisitions. The High Court dismissed the case in February 2010. The Plaintiff appealed and on October 5, 2011 the Supreme Court affirmed dismissal. On December 7, 2011, the Plaintiff sent a letter requesting the Company's board to take certain action with respect to the allegations in his former complaint. On January 5, 2012, the board established a Special Committee consisting of five disinterested directors to investigate the Plaintiff's request. The relevant investigation has been completed and the Special Committee unanimously recommended to the board that the Plaintiff's demand letter be rejected.

16. Losses per share:
 
The Company calculates basic and diluted losses per share as follows:

(198,737)
     
382,708,526
 
 
$
(0.52)
 
 
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 and given that the Company incurred losses, the effect of including any potential common shares in the denominator of diluted per-share computations would have been anti-dilutive and therefore basic and diluted losses per share are the same.

18. Income Taxes:

Neither the Marshall Islands nor Malta imposes a tax on international shipping income earned by a "non-resident" corporation thereof. Under the laws of the Marshall Islands and Malta, the countries in which the Company and the vessels owned by subsidiaries of the Company are registered and the Company's subsidiaries (and their vessels) are subject to registration fees and tonnage taxes, as applicable, which have been included in Vessels' operating expenses in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Marshall Islands and Malta, the jurisdictions where the Company and its ship-owning subsidiaries are incorporated, each grants an "equivalent exemption" to United States corporations with respect to each type of shipping income earned by the Company's ship-owning subsidiaries. Therefore, the ship-owning subsidiaries will be exempt from United States federal income taxation with respect to U.S.-source shipping income if they satisfy the 50% Ownership Test. The Company believes that each of the Company's Marshall Islands and Malta ship-owning subsidiaries will be entitled to exemption from U.S. federal income tax in respect of their U.S. source shipping income

Ocean Rig operates through its various subsidiaries in a number of countries throughout the world. Income taxes have been provided based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned. The countries in which Ocean Rig operates have taxation regimes with varying rates, as well different deductions, credits and other tax attributes. Consequently, there is no expected relationship between the provision for/or benefit from income taxes and income or loss before income taxes.
