Corporate highlights
The Company is currently in advanced restructuring discussions
with its lenders under its syndicated credit facility, dated as of
April 14, 2008 (the "Syndicate Lenders"), which include amended
amortization schedules and extension of the facility's maturity.
While such discussions continue, the Syndicate Lenders have agreed
to forbear from exercising their rights in connection with the
principal installments that have become due in the current fiscal
year, through April 30, 2013. The Company's access to the escrowed
funds to fund its equity raising commitment has been similarly
extended to April 30, 2013. The Company is in similar discussions
with its lenders under its bilateral credit facilities. To date,
the Company has not obtained a forbearance from its lenders with
respect to other, non-payment related, defaults under its
syndicated and bilateral credit facilities. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to reach an agreement with
its lenders and other creditors on such restructuring. Also, the
ultimate accounting impact of the restructuring is unknown and will
be determined once an agreement on the final terms of such
restructuring has been reached.
In addition, three of the vessels that were employed on bareboat
charter have been redelivered to their respective owners for an
amount of up to $6.0 million payable in cash or in stock up to
December 2017, in the latter case at the market price on the date
of the stock's issuance in 2017. The remaining four vessels that
were employed on bareboat charter have been redelivered to their
respective owners, with the claims of the parties being the subject
of arbitration.

Glossary of Terms
Average number of vessels: This is the
number of vessels that constituted our fleet for the relevant
period, as measured by the sum of the number of calendar days each
vessel formed part of our fleet during that period divided by the
number of calendar days in that period.
Total calendar days: We define these as
the total days we possessed the vessels in our fleet for the
relevant period including off hire days associated with major
repairs, dry dockings or special or intermediate surveys. Calendar
days are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a specific
period of time and affect both the amount of revenues and the
amount of expenses that are recorded during that period.
Available days: These are the calendar
days less the aggregate number of off-hire days associated with
major repairs, dry dockings or special or intermediate surveys. The
shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days
in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating
revenue.
Time charter equivalent rate ("TCE"): This is a measure of the average daily revenue
performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of
calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is
determined by dividing revenue generated from voyage charters (net
of voyage expenses) by available days for the relevant time period.
Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs
that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be
paid by the charterer under a time charter contract, as well as
commissions. Time charter equivalent revenue and TCE rate are not
measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of financial performance
used by other companies. However, TCE is a standard shipping
industry performance measure used primarily to compare
period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance
despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot voyage
charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the
vessels may be employed between the periods.
