As a result, the receivable was reduced to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$16.7&lt;/div&gt; million. In accordance with the agreement, the Company applied the remaining &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$16.7&lt;/div&gt; million receivable, representing the shipyard instalments paid and cost of spares/supplies incorporated into Hull &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;DY161&lt;/div&gt; against the cost of Hull &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; DY &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;160,&lt;/div&gt; and paid the remaining amount in cash.

Hull &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;DY160&lt;/div&gt; was delivered to the Company on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 16, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;and was named M/V "Alexandros P".&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;Also, in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 2016, &lt;/div&gt;Kamsarmax Two Shipping Ltd. took an impairment charge on Hull &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;YZJ2013&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1153&lt;/div&gt; as it considered it likely at that time that it would exercise its option to terminate the shipbuilding contract without any additional penalty. The Company recognized an impairment of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$3.8&lt;/div&gt; million representing the deposit paid to the shipyard as well as legal and other costs related to the shipbuilding contract. In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the Company decided &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; to exercise the option to terminate the contract but to proceed with the construction of Hull &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;YZJ2013&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1153,&lt;/div&gt; which is expected to be delivered by &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 2018. &lt;/div&gt;The balance as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;represents advances made by Kamsarmax Two Shipping Ltd. during &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt; for the construction of Hull &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;YZJ2013&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1153&lt;/div&gt; (to be named "Ekaterini") amounting to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$5.1&lt;/div&gt; million.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" margin: 0pt 0"&gt;On &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 11, 2016, &lt;/div&gt;Areti Shipping Ltd. signed a memorandum of agreement to purchase M/V "Tasos" for approximately &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$4.4&lt;/div&gt; million. The deposit made under the memorandum of agreement and other capitalized costs amounted to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$0.7&lt;/div&gt; million as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2016. &lt;/div&gt;The balance of the amount payable under the memorandum of agreement and other capitalized costs paid during &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt; amounted to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$3.8&lt;/div&gt; million or a total of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$4.5&lt;/div&gt; million together with the amount paid in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016.&lt;/div&gt; M/V "Tasos" was delivered to the Company on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 9, 2017.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</esea:AdvancesForVesselsUnderConstructionTextBlock>

An amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$2.25&lt;/div&gt; million was paid on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 28, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;with the balance payable upon delivery of the vessel, which is expected in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; May 2018. &lt;/div&gt;The Company intends to fund its working capital requirements and capital commitments via cash at hand, cash flow from operations, new mortgage debt financing for the vessel under construction, debt balloon payment refinancing and other equity offerings. The Company has signed a term sheet to draw a loan up to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$18.4&lt;/div&gt; million for its newbuilding M/V "Ekaterini".

The Company believes it will have adequate funding through the sources described above and, accordingly, it believes it has the ability to continue as a going concern and finance its obligations as they come due over the next &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;twelve&lt;/div&gt; months following the date of the issuance of these financial statements. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;During the years ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2015, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017,&lt;/div&gt; the following charterers individually accounted for more than &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10%&lt;/div&gt; of the Company&amp;#x2019;s revenues as follows:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;table style="border-collapse: collapse; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;  &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-weight: bold"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td colspan="11" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center"&gt;Year ended December 31,&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt; &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;Charterer&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1pt; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td colspan="3" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: right; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;2015&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1pt; text-align: right; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td colspan="3" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: right; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;2016&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 1pt; text-align: right; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td colspan="3" style="font-weight: bold; text-align: right; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid"&gt;2017&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt; &lt;td style="width: 25%; font-weight: bold"&gt;CMA CGM, Marseille&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: right"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 22%; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;17&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: right"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: right"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 22%; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;14&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;%&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: right"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: right"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 22%; text-align: right"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;19&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 1%; text-align: right"&gt;%&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: White"&gt; &lt;td style="font-weight: bold"&gt;New Golden Sea Shipping Pte.

In the opinion of the management, the disposition of these lawsuits should &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;For the construction of M/V "Ekaterini" (Hull &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;YZJ2013&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1153&lt;/div&gt;), in accordance with the amended shipbuilding contract, Kamsarmax Two Shipping Ltd has contractual obligations of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$18.0&lt;/div&gt; million in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018,&lt;/div&gt; remaining to be paid from the total contract price of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$22.5&lt;/div&gt; million. An amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$2.25&lt;/div&gt; million has already been paid in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2018, &lt;/div&gt;with the balance payable upon delivery of the vessel, which is expected until &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 2018&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;future gross minimum revenues upon collection of hire under non-cancellable time charter agreements in excess of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt; year relate to the M/V &amp;#x201c;Xenia&amp;#x201d; and total &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$10.0&lt;/div&gt; million. In arriving at the future gross minimum revenues, the Company has deducted an estimated &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; off-hire day per quarter Such off-hire estimate &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; be reflective of the actual off-hire in the future. In addition the actual revenues could be affected by early delivery of the vessel by the charterers or any exercise of the charterers' options to extend the terms of the charters, which however cannot be estimated and hence &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; reflected above.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

per day. &lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;The &lt;/div&gt;contracts are settled on a monthly basis using the average of the BPI for the days of the month the BPI is published.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The Company receives a payment if the average BPI for the month is below the contract rate equal to the difference of the contract rate less the average BPI for the month times the number of contract days sold; if the average BPI for the month is greater than the contract rate the Company makes a payment equal to the difference of the average BPI for the month less the contract rate times the number of contract days sold. If the Company buys contracts previously sold (or the opposite) the Company receives or pays the difference of the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;two&lt;/div&gt; rates for the period covered by the contracts.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The FFA contracts did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; qualify for hedge accounting. The Company follows guidance relating to &amp;#x201c;Fair value measurements&amp;#x201d; to calculate the fair value of the FFA contracts (see Note &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18&lt;/div&gt;).&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;table style="; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 10pt; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;  &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt; &lt;td style="width: 33%; border: Black 1pt solid; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;FFA contracts not designated as hedging instruments&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 34%; border-top: Black 1pt solid; border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Location of gain (loss) recognized&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 33%; border-top: Black 1pt solid; border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Year Ended December 31, 2017&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt; &lt;td style="border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; border-left: Black 1pt solid; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;FFA contracts &amp;#x2013; Fair value&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;(Loss)/gain on derivatives, net&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;(781)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: White"&gt; &lt;td style="border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; border-left: Black 1pt solid; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;FFA contracts &amp;#x2013; Realized gain/(loss)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;(Loss)/gain on derivatives, net&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;-&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt; &lt;td style="border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; border-left: Black 1pt solid; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Total loss on derivatives&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="border-right: Black 1pt solid; border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;(781)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:DerivativeInstrumentsAndHedgingActivitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

The carrying value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s investment in Euromar LLC as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2016 &lt;/div&gt;was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;zero&lt;/div&gt; and is presented in the &amp;#x201c;Investment in joint venture&amp;#x201d; in the &amp;#x201c;Consolidated balance sheets&amp;#x201d;. In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the Company acquired &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; of the vessels of Euromar with the consent of its lender by assuming debt equal to the market value of the vessel with any excess indebtedness to the lender written off and Euromar released from any guarantees to the lender. In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 2017, &lt;/div&gt;Euroseas acquired the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;85.714%&lt;/div&gt; interest in Euromar it did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; already own for nominal cost. As a result of the acquisition, Euromar, which was a joint venture among the Company and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;two&lt;/div&gt; private equity firms, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. However, Euromar vessels were substantially under the control of its lenders. The Company provided &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; guarantees to Euromar's lenders, and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;none&lt;/div&gt; of the lenders had any recourse against the Company. As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;all vessels of Euromar were sold with the consent of Euromar&amp;#x2019;s lenders; all proceeds from such sales and any funds in excess of other liabilities were applied towards the indebtedness of Euromar with any excess indebtedness written off; Euromar was released from all its corporate guarantees to its lenders. As a result of the above, Euromar has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; been consolidated in our results nor gain or loss from it has been recognized.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 47; Value: 1 --&gt;     &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;On &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; October 15, 2013 &lt;/div&gt;by and among the Company, Paros Ltd., All Seas Investors I Ltd., All Seas Investors II Ltd. and All Seas Investors III LP, a Contribution Agreement was signed. Under this agreement Euroseas agreed to deposit an amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$5,000,000&lt;/div&gt; into an escrow account (&amp;#x201c;Escrowed Funds&amp;#x201d;) controlled by Paros Ltd., All Seas Investors I Ltd., All Seas Investors II Ltd. and All Seas Investors III LP which can distribute part or all of the funds to Euromar LLC until &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2018. &lt;/div&gt;With the distribution of the Escrowed Funds, Euromar LLC will issue to the Company (or a subsidiary thereof) units representing a preferred membership interest in Euromar LLC (each, a &amp;#x201c;Preferred Unit&amp;#x201d;) in respect of the Escrowed Funds based on the following ratio: &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; Preferred Unit in exchange for each &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$1,000&lt;/div&gt; of the Escrowed Cash, or &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5,000&lt;/div&gt; Preferred Units in total (assuming &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$5&lt;/div&gt; million of Escrowed Cash).

Euromar LLC can return any undistributed Escrowed Funds to the Company after the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;second&lt;/div&gt; anniversary of the agreement while after the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;fifth&lt;/div&gt; anniversary any undistributed Escrowed Funds will be returned to the Company and Preferred Units will be issued by Euromar LLC for any accrued dividends at the time.

Where vessels are acquired with existing time charters, the Company determines the present value of the difference between: (i) the contractual charter rate and (ii) the prevailing market rate for a charter of equivalent duration. In discounting the charter rate differences in future periods, the Company uses its Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted to account for the credit quality of the charterer. The capitalized above-market (assets) and below-market (liabilities) charters are amortized as a reduction and increase, respectively, to voyage revenues over the remaining term of the charter.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:FairValueMeasurementPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

Under the terms of the interest rate swaps the Company and the bank agreed to exchange, at specified intervals the difference between a paying fixed rate and receiving floating rate interest amount calculated by reference to the agreed principal amounts and maturities. Interest rate swaps allow the Company to convert long-term borrowings issued at floating rates into equivalent fixed rates. Even though the interest rate swaps were entered into for economic hedging purposes, as noted in Note &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15&lt;/div&gt; they do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; qualify for hedge accounting, under the guidance relating to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Derivatives and Hedging&lt;/div&gt;, as the Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have currently written contemporaneous documentation identifying the risk being hedged and, both on a prospective and retrospective basis, performing an effectiveness test to support that the hedging relationship is highly effective. Consequently, the Company recognizes the change in fair value of these derivatives in the &amp;#x201c;(Loss)/ gain on derivatives, net&amp;#x201d; in the &amp;#x201c;Consolidated statements of operations.&amp;#x201d; As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the Company had &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;two&lt;/div&gt; open swap contracts for a notional amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$15.0&lt;/div&gt; million.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 42.55pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -42.55pt"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 42.55pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -42.55pt"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Concentration of credit risk&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 42.55pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -42.55pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluation of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions that are considered in the Company&amp;#x2019;s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with trade accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers&amp;#x2019; financial condition and generally does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; require collateral for its trade accounts receivable.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 51; Value: 1 --&gt;   &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 42.55pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -42.55pt"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Fair value of financial instruments&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 42.55pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -42.55pt"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company follows guidance relating to &amp;#x201c;Fair value measurements&amp;#x201d;, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This statement 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 impairment was due both to changes in the terms of its investment during the period as well as continuing less favorable market developments. The change in the terms of the Company&amp;#x2019;s investment resulted from the conclusion of loan restructuring agreements between Euromar and its lenders that provided the latter with increased payments before any capital is returned to Euromar&amp;#x2019;s partners, which include the Company, and, in addition, participation of the lenders in the profits of and any distributions made by Euromar. The fair value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s &amp;#x201c;Investment in joint venture&amp;#x201d; is considered a Level &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;3&lt;/div&gt; item (see Note &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;16&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x2013; &amp;#x201c;Investment in Joint Venture and Other Investment&amp;#x201d;).&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The key input that determines the fair value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s &amp;#x201c;Investment in joint venture&amp;#x201d; is the cost of capital for investments in containership vessels which is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; observable and hence is considered a level &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;3&lt;/div&gt; item. The Company estimated the cost of capital in the range of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;9&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10%&lt;/div&gt; p.a. based on its return threshold in considering investments in containerships which, in turn take into consideration the historical returns and volatility of such investments. Additional inputs required include earnings and operating cost assumptions for each vessel as well other expenses and liabilities of Euromar. As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the Company used the Discounted Cash Flow technique and a cost of capital of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;9.5%&lt;/div&gt; p.a. to calculate the fair value of its equity investment in Euromar.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.7pt; text-align: justify"&gt;Furthermore, as a result of the same analysis described above, the Company determined that the fair value of its &amp;#x201c;Other investment&amp;#x201d;, which consists of preferred units in Euromar was also impaired and recognized a &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$4,421,452&lt;/div&gt; impairment as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2016, &lt;/div&gt;which is shown under &amp;#x201c;Impairment in other investment&amp;#x201d;. The key input that determined the fair value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s &amp;#x201c;Other investment&amp;#x201d; was the required rate of return of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;19%&lt;/div&gt; p.a. for preferred equity investments in investment opportunities of similar risk which was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; observable and hence is considered a Level &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;3&lt;/div&gt; item. The Company considered the initial dividend rate of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;19%&lt;/div&gt; p.a. as the appropriate rate for its fair value calculation and monitored market conditions for similar investment and other possible developments specific to its investment that might provide indications for changes in the required rate of return it used in its fair value measurement. As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the Company did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; identify indications that would require changes in the required rate of return. The fair value of the Company&amp;#x2019;s other investment is calculated using the discounted cash flow technique.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.7pt;

This is a &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$14,500,000&lt;/div&gt; loan drawn by Saf-Concord Shipping Ltd, Eternity Shipping Company, Allendale Investments S.A., Manolis Shipping Limited, Alterwall Business Inc., Aggeliki Shipping Ltd and Jonathan John Shipping Ltd. (which was cross-collateralized as per supplemental agreement dated &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 27, 2016 &lt;/div&gt;replacing Eternity Shipping Company, the owner of M/V &amp;#x201c;Captain Costas&amp;#x201d; that was sold in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;) as Borrowers.

The Company paid loan arrangement fees of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$247,500&lt;/div&gt; for this loan. In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the Company applied &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$1&lt;/div&gt; million from the pledged amount against the loan and prepaid an amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$540,000&lt;/div&gt; deducted from the balloon payment and made a prepayment of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$460,000&lt;/div&gt; that referred to the installment of the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;fourth&lt;/div&gt; quarter of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017.&lt;/div&gt; In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the Company agreed with the lender to release M/V &amp;#x201c;Monica P.&amp;#x201d; from the mortgage and substitute it with M/V &amp;#x201c;Joanna&amp;#x201d;. In connection with this substitution, the Company prepaid an amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$460,000&lt;/div&gt; referring to the installment due in the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; quarter of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; and another &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$280,000&lt;/div&gt; deducted from the balloon payment.

An amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$2,100,000&lt;/div&gt; from the sale of the vessel was prepaid, from which an amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$1,840,000&lt;/div&gt; was applied against the final &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;four&lt;/div&gt; instalments and an amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$260,000&lt;/div&gt; was deducted from the balloon payment of the loan..

The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2014&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;09&lt;/div&gt; defines a &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt;-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The FASB also permitted early adoption of the standard, but &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; before the original effective date of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2016. &lt;/div&gt;Subsequent to the issuance of ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2014&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;09,&lt;/div&gt; the FASB issued the following ASU's which amend or provide additional guidance on topics addressed in ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2014&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;09.&lt;/div&gt; In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;08,&lt;/div&gt; "Revenue Recognition - Principal versus Agent" (reporting revenue gross versus net). In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; April 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10,&lt;/div&gt; "Revenue Recognition - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licenses." Lastly, in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; May 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;12,&lt;/div&gt; "Revenue Recognition - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients." The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption of the standard, but &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; before &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2016 &lt;/div&gt;is permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;and elected to use the modified retrospective transition method for the implementation of this standard. As a result of the adoption of this standard revenues generated under voyage charter agreements will be recognized on a pro-rata basis from the date of loading to discharge of cargo. Prior to the adoption of this standard, revenues generated under voyage charter agreements were recognized on a pro-rata basis over the period of the voyage which was deemed to commence upon the later of the completion of discharge of the vessel&amp;#x2019;s previous cargo or the time it receives a contract that is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; cancelable, and was deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo. The financial impact on the Company&amp;#x2019;s financial statements will derive from voyage charters which do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; commence and end in the same reporting period due to the timing of recognition of revenue, as well as the timing of recognition of certain voyage related costs. As &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; vessels of the Company had voyage charters that were in progress as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;management believes that the implementation of this standard will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have any material impact on its financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; July 2015, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2015&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;11,&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x201c;Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory&amp;#x201d; to simplify the measurement of inventory using &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt;-in, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; out (FIFO) or average cost method. According to this ASU an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2016. &lt;/div&gt;Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU for the fiscal year ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;with &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; material impact on its financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02,&lt;/div&gt; Leases (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;). The main provision of this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP but require the lessors to separate lease and non-lease components. The requirements of this standard include an increase in required disclosures. The Company expects that its time charter arrangements will be subject to the requirements of the new Leases standard as the Company will be regarded as the lessor. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard and will evaluate any amendments that &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;be issued.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;09,&lt;/div&gt; Stock Compensation. The new guidance is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2016 &lt;/div&gt;and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this ASU for the fiscal year ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;with &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; material impact on its financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;13,&lt;/div&gt; Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The main objective of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2019, &lt;/div&gt;including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This Update addresses &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;eight&lt;/div&gt; specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has elected early adoption of this update. The Company evaluated the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and determined that there is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; impact as the classification of the related cash payments and cash receipts has always been reported as described in the ASU.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 2016 &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued the ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#x2013; Restricted cash. This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017,&lt;/div&gt; including interim periods within those years. Early adoption of this update as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;and the statements of cash flows for the years ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2016 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt; explain the change during the respective periods in the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. This presentation was applied retrospectively to all periods presented as required under the guidance.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01,&lt;/div&gt; Business Combinations (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;805&lt;/div&gt;): Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01"&lt;/div&gt;). ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&lt;/div&gt; provides greater clarity on the definition of a business to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as an acquisition or disposal of assets or businesses. ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&lt;/div&gt; is effective for us on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;with early adoption permitted. Because all of the Company&amp;#x2019;s acquisitions have been asset acquisitions, the Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; expect the adoption of this new standard to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

&lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;On &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 27, 2014, &lt;/div&gt;the Company entered into an agreement to sell &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;25,000&lt;/div&gt; shares of its Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred Shares") to a fund managed by Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC ("TCP") and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5,700&lt;/div&gt; shares to Preferred Friends Investment Company Inc, an affiliate of the Company, for total net proceeds of approximately &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$29&lt;/div&gt; million. The redemption amount of the Company&amp;#x2019;s Series B Preferred Shares is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$1,000&lt;/div&gt; per share. The Company used the proceeds for the acquisition of vessels and general corporate purposes. The Series B Preferred Shares will pay dividends (in cash or in-kind at the option of the Company, subject to certain exceptions) during the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt; years at a rate of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;0%&lt;/div&gt; or &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5%,&lt;/div&gt; depending on the trading price of the Company's common stock. In addition, if a cash dividend is paid on the Company's common stock during such time, then if the dividend paid on the Series B Preferred Shares is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5%,&lt;/div&gt; the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall receive such dividend in cash and shall also receive an additional cash dividend in an amount equal to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;40%&lt;/div&gt; of the common stock dividend it would have received on an as-converted basis. If, however, the dividend on the Series B Preferred Shares is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;0%,&lt;/div&gt; then the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall receive a cash dividend equal to the greater of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;100%&lt;/div&gt; of the common stock dividend it would have received on an as-converted basis and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5%.&lt;/div&gt; If a cash dividend is paid on the Company's common stock after the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt; years, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares shall receive an additional cash dividend in an amount equal to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;40%&lt;/div&gt; of the common stock dividend it would have received on an as-converted basis.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The dividend rate will increase to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;12%&lt;/div&gt; in years &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;seven&lt;/div&gt; and to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;14%&lt;/div&gt; thereafter. The Series B Preferred Shares can be converted at the option of their holders at any time, and at the option of the Company only if certain share price and liquidity milestones are met. Each Series B Preferred Share is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$12.25&lt;/div&gt; (as adjusted in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; September 2015 &lt;/div&gt;following the shareholders&amp;#x2019; rights offering of the Company) subject to further adjustment for certain events. The Series B Preferred Shares are redeemable in cash by the Company at any time after the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;fifth&lt;/div&gt; anniversary of the original issue date. Holders of the Series B Preferred Shares &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;require the Company to redeem their shares only upon the occurrence of certain corporate events.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;For the year ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the Company declared &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;four&lt;/div&gt; consecutive dividends totaling &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$1.8&lt;/div&gt; million, all of which were paid in kind. The redemption liability as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$37,306,766.&lt;/div&gt; If all the subsequent dividend payments are made in-kind, the Series B Preferred Shares will increase by &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$1,900,607&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$152,473&lt;/div&gt; for the years &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2019,&lt;/div&gt; respectively. The redemption liability will be &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$39,207,373&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$39,359,846&lt;/div&gt; as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;and end-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 2019, &lt;/div&gt;respectively. After &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 2019, &lt;/div&gt;the dividend will be payable only in cash as described above.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Subject to certain ownership thresholds, holders of Series B Preferred Shares have the right to appoint &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; director to the Company's board of directors and TCP also has consent rights over certain corporate actions. In addition, the holders of Series B Preferred Shares will vote as &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; class with the Company's common stock on all matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote, with each Series B Preferred Share having a number of votes equal to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;50%&lt;/div&gt; of the numbers of shares of common stock of the Company into which such Series B Preferred Share would be convertible on the applicable record date.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:PreferredStockTextBlock>

An additional fixed management fee (see below) is paid to the Manager for the provision of various management services. Vessel management fees paid to the Managers amounted to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$4,151,335,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$3,179,596&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$4,042,353&lt;/div&gt; in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2015,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017,&lt;/div&gt; respectively.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The management agreement provides for an annual adjustment of the daily management fee due to inflation to take effect &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1 &lt;/div&gt;of each year. The vessel management fee for laid-up vessels is half of the daily fee for the period they are laid-up. In the case of newbuilding vessel contracts, the same management fee of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;685&lt;/div&gt; Euros becomes effective when construction of the vessels actually begins. The Company&amp;#x2019;s Master Management Agreement (&amp;#x201c;MMA&amp;#x201d;) with Eurobulk was originally effective as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2011 &lt;/div&gt;and with an initial term of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt; years until &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2016. &lt;/div&gt;The Master Management Agreement, as periodically amended and restated, will automatically be extended after the initial &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt;-year period for an additional &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt;-year period unless terminated on or before the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;90th&lt;/div&gt; day preceding the initial termination date. Pursuant to the Master Management Agreement, each ship owning company has signed &amp;#x2013; and each future ship owning company when a vessel is acquired will sign - with the Managers a management agreement with the rate and term of these agreements set in the Master Management Agreement effective at such time.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The MMA was amended and restated as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2012 &lt;/div&gt;to reflect a &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5%&lt;/div&gt; discount of the daily vessel management fee for the period during which the number of the Euroseas owned vessels (including vessels in which Euroseas is a part owner) managed by the Manager is greater than &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;20&lt;/div&gt; (&amp;#x201c;volume discount&amp;#x201d;); it was further renewed as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2014 &lt;/div&gt;for a new &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt; year term until &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2019.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Starting &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2013, &lt;/div&gt;the daily vessel management fee was adjusted to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;720&lt;/div&gt; Euros per day per vessel in operation and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;360&lt;/div&gt; Euros per day per vessel in lay-up before the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5%&lt;/div&gt; discount. The fee remained unchanged for the subsequent years starting &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2015, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The MMA was further renewed on &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;for an additional &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt; year term until &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2023 &lt;/div&gt;with the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5%&lt;/div&gt; volume discount permanently incorporated in the daily management fee. The daily management fee remained unchanged at Euros &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;685&lt;/div&gt; for the year &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt; and will be adjusted annually for inflation in the Eurozone. The terms and daily fee of the vessels managed by Eurobulk FE were similarly adjusted. These fees are recorded under &amp;#x201c;Related party management fees&amp;#x201d; in the &amp;#x201c;Consolidated statements of operations&amp;#x201d;.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In addition to the vessel management services, the Manager provides management services for the Company&amp;#x2019;s needs as a public company. In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2015,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt; compensation for such services to the Company as a public company was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$2,000,000&lt;/div&gt; remaining unchanged and it remains unchanged for &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018.&lt;/div&gt; These amounts are recorded in &amp;#x201c;Other general and administrative expenses&amp;#x201d; in the &amp;#x201c;Consolidated statements of operations.&amp;#x201d;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;table style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;    &lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;  &lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/table&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Amounts due to or from related companies represent net disbursements and collections made on behalf of the vessel-owning companies by the Management Company during the normal course of operations for which a right of off-set exists.

Based on the MMA between Euroseas Ltd. and Euroseas&amp;#x2019; ship owning subsidiaries and the Manager an estimate of the quarter&amp;#x2019;s operating expenses, expected dry-dock expenses, vessel management fee and fee for management executive services are to be advanced in the beginning of the quarter to the Manager.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 2016 &lt;/div&gt;reached an agreement with a related party, COLBY Trading Ltd a company controlled by the Pittas family and affiliated to its CEO, to draw a &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$2&lt;/div&gt; million loan to finance working capital needs with an interest rate of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10%&lt;/div&gt; per annum. Interest on the loan was payable quarterly, there were &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; principal repayments until &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 2018 &lt;/div&gt;when the loan would mature and there would be &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; prepayment penalty. The Company fully repaid this loan along with the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; interest payment of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$50,556&lt;/div&gt; earlier than scheduled at the end of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2017.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company uses brokers for various services, as is industry practice.

If a charter agreement exists, the price is fixed, service is provided and the collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured, revenues are recorded over the term of the charter as service is provided and recognized on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the voyage or time charter adjusted for the off-hire days that a vessel spends undergoing repairs, maintenance or upgrade work. A voyage is deemed to commence upon the later of the completion of discharge of the vessel&amp;#x2019;s previous cargo or the time it receives a contract that is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; cancelable and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo. A time charter contract is deemed to commence from the time of the delivery of the vessel to an agreed port and is deemed to end upon the re-delivery of the vessel at an agreed port. Demurrage income, which is included in voyage revenues, represents revenue earned from the charterer when loading or discharging time exceeded the stipulated time in the voyage charter and is recognized when earned.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; letter-spacing: -0.1pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Charter fees received in advance are recorded as a liability (deferred revenue) until charter services are rendered.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: -35.45pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Vessel operating expenses are comprised of all expenses relating to the operation of the vessels, including crewing, insurance, repairs and maintenance, stores, lubricants, spares and consumables, professional and legal fees and miscellaneous expenses. Vessel operating expenses are recognized as incurred; payments in advance of services or use are recorded as prepaid expenses. Voyage expenses relate to bunkers, port charges, canal tolls, and agency fees which are incurred when the vessel is chartered under a voyage charter or during off-hire or idle periods. Voyage expenses are expensed as incurred.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Revenue is recognized when a charter agreement exists, the vessel is made available to the charterer and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. &amp;nbsp;Commissions (address and brokerage), regardless of charter type, are always paid by the Company, are deferred and amortized over the related charter period and are presented as a separate line item in revenues to arrive at net revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:RevenueRecognitionPolicyTextBlock>

The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; use discrete financial information to evaluate the operating results for each such type of charter. Although revenue can be identified for these types of charters, management cannot and does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; identify expenses, profitability or other financial information for these charters. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus the Company has determined that it operates under &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; operating segment. Furthermore, when the Company charters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, the disclosure of geographical information is impracticable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:SegmentReportingPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to expense as incurred. Vessels under construction are presented at cost, which includes shipyard installment payments and other vessel costs incurred during the construction period that are directly attributable to the construction of the vessels, including interest costs incurred during the construction period.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Expenditures for vessel repair and maintenance are charged against income in the period incurred.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Assets Held for Sale&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;dispose of certain of its vessels when suitable opportunities occur, including prior to the end of their useful lives. The Company classifies assets as being held for sale when the following&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;criteria are met: (i) management is committed to sell the asset; (ii) the&amp;nbsp;asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; year; (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;cost to sell&amp;nbsp;the asset. These assets are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; longer depreciated once they meet the criteria of being held for sale.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 15; Value: 1 --&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Depreciation&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of the vessel with reference to the cost of the vessel, and estimated scrap value. Remaining useful lives of vessels are periodically reviewed and revised to recognize changes in conditions and such revisions, if any, are recognized over current and future periods. The Company estimates that its vessels have a useful life of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;25&lt;/div&gt; years from the completion of its construction.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Insurance claims and insurance proceeds&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Claims receivable are recorded on the accrual basis and represent the amounts to be received, net of deductibles, incurred through each balance sheet date, for which recovery from insurance companies is probable and the claim is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; subject to litigation. Any remaining costs to complete the claims are included in accrued liabilities. Insurance proceeds are recorded according to type of claim that gives rise to the proceeds in the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flow.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Revenue and expense recognition&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Revenues are generated from voyage charters and time charters. If a charter agreement exists, the price is fixed, service is provided and the collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured, revenues are recorded over the term of the charter as service is provided and recognized on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the voyage or time charter adjusted for the off-hire days that a vessel spends undergoing repairs, maintenance or upgrade work. A voyage is deemed to commence upon the later of the completion of discharge of the vessel&amp;#x2019;s previous cargo or the time it receives a contract that is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; cancelable and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo. A time charter contract is deemed to commence from the time of the delivery of the vessel to an agreed port and is deemed to end upon the re-delivery of the vessel at an agreed port. Demurrage income, which is included in voyage revenues, represents revenue earned from the charterer when loading or discharging time exceeded the stipulated time in the voyage charter and is recognized when earned.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; letter-spacing: -0.1pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Charter fees received in advance are recorded as a liability (deferred revenue) until charter services are rendered.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: -35.45pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Vessel operating expenses are comprised of all expenses relating to the operation of the vessels, including crewing, insurance, repairs and maintenance, stores, lubricants, spares and consumables, professional and legal fees and miscellaneous expenses. Vessel operating expenses are recognized as incurred; payments in advance of services or use are recorded as prepaid expenses. Voyage expenses relate to bunkers, port charges, canal tolls, and agency fees which are incurred when the vessel is chartered under a voyage charter or during off-hire or idle periods. Voyage expenses are expensed as incurred.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Revenue is recognized when a charter agreement exists, the vessel is made available to the charterer and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. &amp;nbsp;Commissions (address and brokerage), regardless of charter type, are always paid by the Company, are deferred and amortized over the related charter period and are presented as a separate line item in revenues to arrive at net revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 35.45pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -35.45pt"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/table&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Dry-docking and special survey expenses&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Dry-docking and special survey expenses are expensed as incurred.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Pension and retirement benefit obligations &amp;#x2013; crew &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The ship-owning companies contract the crews on board the vessels under short-term contracts (usually up to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;9&lt;/div&gt; months). Accordingly, they are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; liable for any pension or post-retirement benefits.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Financing costs&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Loan arrangement fees are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the duration of the underlying loan using the effective interest method. Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid or refinanced are expensed in the period the repayment or refinancing occurs. Deferred offering expenses are charged against paid-in capital when financing is completed or expensed to other general and administrative expenses when financing efforts are terminated.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Fair value of time charter acquired&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company records all identified tangible and intangible assets or any liabilities associated with the acquisition of a vessel at fair value. Where vessels are acquired with existing time charters, the Company determines the present value of the difference between: (i) the contractual charter rate and (ii) the prevailing market rate for a charter of equivalent duration. In discounting the charter rate differences in future periods, the Company uses its Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted to account for the credit quality of the charterer. The capitalized above-market (assets) and below-market (liabilities) charters are amortized as a reduction and increase, respectively, to voyage revenues over the remaining term of the charter.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Stock incentive plan awards&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Share-based compensation represents vested and non-vested restricted shares granted to officers and directors as well as to non-employees and are included in &amp;#x201c;Other general and administrative expenses&amp;#x201d; in the &amp;#x201c;Consolidated statements of operations.&amp;#x201d; The shares to employees and directors are measured at their fair value equal to the market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. The shares that do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; contain any future service vesting conditions are considered vested shares and the total fair value of such shares is expensed on the grant date. The shares that contain a time-based service vesting condition are considered non-vested shares on the grant date and the total fair value of such shares is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In addition, non-vested awards granted to non-employees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining period service is provided. The fair value of the awards granted to non-employees are measured at the fair value at each reporting period until the non-vested shares vest and performance is complete.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/table&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Investment in Joint Venture &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Investments in companies over which the Company believes it exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method the investment is carried at cost, and is adjusted to recognize the investor&amp;#x2019;s share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition and is adjusted for impairment whenever facts and circumstances determine that a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other than temporary. The amount of the adjustment is included in the determination of net income / (loss). The investment is also adjusted to reflect the Company&amp;#x2019;s share of changes in the investee&amp;#x2019;s capital.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Impairment of long-lived assets&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company reviews its long-lived assets &amp;#x201c;held and used&amp;#x201d; for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; be recoverable. When the estimate of future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for an impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset. In this respect, management regularly reviews the carrying amount of the vessels in connection with the estimated recoverable amount for each of the Company&amp;#x2019;s vessels.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Other investments &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Investments over which the Company believes it does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; exercise any influence are carried at the book value and are adjusted to recognize accrued income and are adjusted for impairment whenever facts and circumstances determine that they are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; recoverable. The amount of the adjustment is included in the determination of net income / (loss) (Note &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;17&lt;/div&gt;).&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Derivative financial instruments&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Derivative instruments are recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value with changes in the instruments' fair value recognized as either a component in other comprehensive income if specific hedge accounting criteria are met in accordance with guidance relating to &amp;#x201c;Derivatives and Hedging&amp;#x201d; or in earnings if hedging criteria are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; met.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Preferred shares&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Preferred shares are recorded at the initial consideration received less offering expenses and adjusted by including the redemption value of dividends paid in-kind.

The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; include any potentially dilutive securities or any non-vested restricted shares of common stock. These non-vested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2016 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017,&lt;/div&gt; are considered contingently returnable until the restrictions lapse and will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; be included in the basic net income per share calculation until the shares are vested.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Diluted earnings / (loss) per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities to the extent that they are dilutive, using the treasury stock method. The Company uses the treasury stock method for non-vested restricted shares, while for the preferred shares issued the Company uses the if-converted method to assess the dilutive effect.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Segment reporting&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenue and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; by the type of ship employment for its customers, i.e. voyage or time charters. The Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; use discrete financial information to evaluate the operating results for each such type of charter. Although revenue can be identified for these types of charters, management cannot and does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; identify expenses, profitability or other financial information for these charters. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus the Company has determined that it operates under &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;one&lt;/div&gt; operating segment. Furthermore, when the Company charters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, the disclosure of geographical information is impracticable.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/table&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;Recent accounting pronouncements&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; May 2014, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2014&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;09,&lt;/div&gt; "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2014&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;09"&lt;/div&gt;), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services.

Lastly, in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; May 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;12,&lt;/div&gt; "Revenue Recognition - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients." The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption of the standard, but &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; before &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2016 &lt;/div&gt;is permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;and elected to use the modified retrospective transition method for the implementation of this standard. As a result of the adoption of this standard revenues generated under voyage charter agreements will be recognized on a pro-rata basis from the date of loading to discharge of cargo. Prior to the adoption of this standard, revenues generated under voyage charter agreements were recognized on a pro-rata basis over the period of the voyage which was deemed to commence upon the later of the completion of discharge of the vessel&amp;#x2019;s previous cargo or the time it receives a contract that is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; cancelable, and was deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo. The financial impact on the Company&amp;#x2019;s financial statements will derive from voyage charters which do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; commence and end in the same reporting period due to the timing of recognition of revenue, as well as the timing of recognition of certain voyage related costs. As &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; vessels of the Company had voyage charters that were in progress as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;management believes that the implementation of this standard will &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have any material impact on its financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/table&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; July 2015, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2015&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;11,&lt;/div&gt; &amp;#x201c;Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory&amp;#x201d; to simplify the measurement of inventory using &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt;-in, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; out (FIFO) or average cost method. According to this ASU an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2016. &lt;/div&gt;Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU for the fiscal year ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;with &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; material impact on its financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02,&lt;/div&gt; Leases (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;). The main provision of this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Accounting by lessors will remain largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP but require the lessors to separate lease and non-lease components. The requirements of this standard include an increase in required disclosures. The Company expects that its time charter arrangements will be subject to the requirements of the new Leases standard as the Company will be regarded as the lessor. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard and will evaluate any amendments that &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;be issued.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;09,&lt;/div&gt; Stock Compensation. The new guidance is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2016 &lt;/div&gt;and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this ASU for the fiscal year ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;with &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; material impact on its financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; min-width: 700px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;  &lt;/table&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-transform: uppercase; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; text-transform: none"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;13,&lt;/div&gt; Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The main objective of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The ASU requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2019, &lt;/div&gt;including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This Update addresses &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;eight&lt;/div&gt; specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has elected early adoption of this update. The Company evaluated the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and determined that there is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; impact as the classification of the related cash payments and cash receipts has always been reported as described in the ASU.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; November 2016 &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued the ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;#x2013; Restricted cash. This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017,&lt;/div&gt; including interim periods within those years. Early adoption of this update as of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;and the statements of cash flows for the years ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2016 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt; explain the change during the respective periods in the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. This presentation was applied retrospectively to all periods presented as required under the guidance.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01,&lt;/div&gt; Business Combinations (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;805&lt;/div&gt;): Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01"&lt;/div&gt;).

Because all of the Company&amp;#x2019;s acquisitions have been asset acquisitions, the Company does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; expect the adoption of this new standard to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:SignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>
