(2) Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE rate, is determined by dividing voyage revenues less voyage expenses or time charter equivalent revenue, or TCE revenues, by the number of voyage days during the relevant time period. TCE revenues, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with shipping revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating the Company's financial performance. TCE revenues and TCE rate are also standard shipping industry performance measures used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods (see also Item 5A-Operating Results).

Reconciliation of TCE revenues as reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and calculation of TCE rate follow:

Six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to six months ended June 30, 2012.
 
Voyage revenues. Voyage revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $21.33 million, down 23.8% compared to the same period in 2012 during which voyage revenues amounted to $28.01 million. This decrease was due to the lower time-charter equivalent ("TCE") rate during the period as compared to the same period of 2012. TCE is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. An average of 14.98 vessels operated in the six months of 2013 for a total of 2,711 ownership days against an average of 15.42 vessels during the same period in 2012 or 2,806 ownership days, a 2.8% decrease.  The total number of days our vessels earned revenue decreased by 5.3% to 2,459 days in the first six months of 2013 from 2,596 days in the same period in 2012. While employed, our vessels generated a TCE rate of $8,256 per day per vessel in the first half of 2013 compared to $10,431 per day per vessel for the same period in 2012 (see calculation in table below).  The average TCE rate our vessels achieved is a combination of the time charter rate earned by our vessels under time charter contracts, which is not influenced by market developments during the duration of the charter and the TCE rate earned by our vessels employed in the spot market which is influenced by market developments.  Market charter rates in the six months of 2013 were lower for both our drybulk and containership vessels compared to the first six months of 2012 which was reflected in the average earnings our ships earned. We had 3.0 scheduled offhire days, including drydocking and laid-up time, 192.27 commercial offhire and 14.64 operational offhire days in the first six months of 2012 compared to 100.4 scheduled offhire days for drydocking, 132.5 commercial offhire days and 19.35 operational offhire days in the first six months of 2013.

 
 

 

 
Related party revenues. Related party revenues reflect $0.12 million received from Euromar LLC, a joint venture of Euroseas, for administration services for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 unchanged as compared to the same period of 2012.
 
Commissions. Commissions for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $0.96 million. At 4.5% of voyage revenues, commissions were lower than in the same period of 2012 during which they accounted for 5.0% of our revenues. The overall level of commissions also depends on the agreed commission for each charter contract.
 
Voyage expenses. Voyage expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $1.00 million and  related to expenses for certain voyage charters, compared to $0.94 million for the same period of 2012. Voyage expenses depend on the number of days our vessels are employed under voyage contracts (as opposed to time charter contracts) and the number of days they are sailing without a contract. Because our vessels are generally chartered under time charter contracts, voyage expenses represent a small percentage (4.6% and 3.3% during the first half of 2013 and 2012, respectively) of voyage revenues and are mainly incurred while our vessels are repositioned between time charter contracts.
 
Vessel operating expenses. Vessel operating expenses excluding management fees were $12.56 million during the first half of 2013 compared to $12.52 million for the same period of 2012.  Daily vessel operating expenses excluding management fees per vessel increased between the two periods to $4,632 per day per vessel in the first six months of 2013 compared to $4,460 per day during the same period of 2012, a 3.8% increase, reflecting mainly certain cost increases like higher crew wages costs.
 
Management fees. These are part of the fees we pay to Eurobulk under our Master Management Agreement. During the first six months of 2013, Eurobulk charged us 685 Euros per day per vessel totalling $2.47 million for the period, or $912.1 per day per vessel. In the same period of 2012, management fees amounted to $2.54 million, or $905.0 per day per vessel based on the daily rate per vessel of 685 Euros.  The decline in the total management fess during the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012 is due to the lower average number of vessels we operated during the period despite the higher USD/Euro exchange rate during the first six months of 2013.
 
Other general and administrative expenses. These are expenses we pay as part of our operation as a public company and include the fixed portion of our management agreement fees, legal and auditing fees, directors' and officers' liability insurance and other miscellaneous corporate expenses. In the first six months of 2013, we had a total of $1.75 million of general and administrative expenses as compared to $1.86 million in same period of 2012. The 2013 figure includes $0.01 million increase in costs for management services provided by Eurobulk management for the Company's needs as a public company.
 
Dry-docking expenses. These are expenses we pay for our vessels to complete a dry-docking as part of an intermediate or special survey. In the first half of 2013, we had five vessels completing their dry-docking for an expense of $2.88 million. During the first half of 2012, we had two vessels completing their dry-docking, for which we incurred $0.44 million of expenses.
 
Vessel depreciation. Vessel depreciation for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $8.5 million. Comparatively, vessel depreciation for the same period in 2012 amounted to $8.82 million. Vessel depreciation in the first six months of 2013 was lower compared to the same period of 2012 mainly due to the sale of M/V Jonathan P, during the first quarter of 2012; the sale of M/V Anking took place late in June 2013 reduced the depreciation for the period only marginally.
 
Net loss on sale of vessel. During the first six months of 2013, we sold M/V Anking incurring a loss on the sale of $3.19 million. During the first six months of 2012, we sold M/V Jonathan P incurring a loss on the sale of $8.57 million.
 
Interest and other financing costs. Interest and other financing costs for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $0.97 million. Comparatively, during the same period in 2012, interest and finance costs amounted to $1.02 million. The difference is primarily due to the lower amount of debt outstanding, on average, in the first half of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The average LIBOR rate on our debt as of June 30, 2013 was 0.28% and the average margin over LIBOR was 2.81% for a total interest rate of 3.11% as compared to an average LIBOR rate on June 30, 2012 of 0.34% and an average margin over LIBOR of 2.17% for a total interest rate of 2.50%.
 
Interest income. Interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $0.24 million compared to $0.16 million for the same period of 2012. The difference is primarily due to the higher average interest rates applied during the first half of 2013 as compared to the first half of 2012.
 
Derivatives gains (losses). In the first six months of 2012, we had a total derivative loss of $0.42 million from three interest rate swap contracts which consisted of a realized loss of $0.85 million and an unrealized gain of $0.43 million from the interest rate swap.  For the same period of 2013, we had a total derivative loss of $0.01 million from three interest rate swap contracts which consisted of a realized loss of $0.88 million and an unrealized gain of $0.88 million from the interest rate swap.
 
Loss in joint venture. Our share of the losses of our joint venture, Euromar LLC, was $897,459 in the first half of 2013 compared to a loss of $284,451 in the comparative period of 2012 as the revenues of Euromar LLC were influenced by the lower charter rates its vessels earned and higher interest expenses paid as compared to the same period of 2012.
 
Net income. As a result of the above, net loss for the six months ended on June 30, 2013 was $13.5 million compared to $10.35 million for the same period in 2012.

 
 

 
 
Cash Flows
 
As of June 30, 2013, we had a cash balance of $23.13 million, funds due from a related company of $0.74 million and cash in restricted retention accounts of $10.0 million. Amounts due from such related company represent net disbursements and collections made by our fleet manager, Eurobulk, on behalf of the ship-owning companies during the normal course of operations for which they have the right of offset. Amounts due from such related company mainly consist of advances to our fleet manager of funds to pay for all anticipated vessel expenses.  The amount of $0.74 million due from such related company as of June 30, 2013 therefore consists mainly of such deposits. Working capital is current assets minus current liabilities, including the current portion of long term debt. We had a working capital surplus of $6.98 million including the current portion of long term debt which was $17.61 million as of June 30, 2013.
 
Net cash from operating activities.
 
Our cash flow from operations represents the net amount of cash, after expenses, generated by chartering our vessels. Our net cash from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.9 million. Net loss for the period was $13.5 million, which was decreased by $8.50 million of depreciation, $3.19 million from a loss on the sale of a vessel and $4.22 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities amongst other adjustments. During the same period of 2012, net cash flow from operating activities was $6.17 million based on a net loss of $10.35 million decreased by $8.82 million of depreciation and $8.57 million from a loss on the sale of a vessel and increased by $1.14 million from changes in other assets and liabilities amongst other adjustments.
 
Net cash from investing activities.
 
In the first six months of 2013, we did not purchase any vessels. We had a $3.57 million contribution from the sale of a vessel, M/V Anking. We had approximately $1.00 million additional restricted funds and $6.25 million from contributions to a joint venture and $0.64 million for advances in vessel acquisitions, for total funds used in investment activities of $4.31 million. In the same period of 2012, we had a $4.25 million contribution from the sale of a vessel, M/V Jonathan P. We had approximately $3.16 million additional restricted funds and $3.75 million from contributions to a joint venture for total funds used in investment activities of $2.66 million.
 
Net cash used in financing activities.
 
In the first half of 2013, net cash used in by financing activities amounted to $8.81 million. These funds consisted primarily of $1.36 million of dividends paid and $7.46 million of loan repayments. In the same period of 2012, net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $4.66 million. These funds consisted primarily of $2.81 million of dividends paid, $7.78 million of loan repayments and $15.24 million of proceeds from shares issued.
 
Debt Financing
 
We operate in a capital intensive industry which requires significant amounts of investment, and we fund a portion of this investment through long term debt. We maintain debt levels we consider prudent based on our market expectations, cash flow, interest coverage and percentage of debt to capital.
 
As of June 30, 2013, our long term debt comprised of eight outstanding loans with a combined outstanding balance of $54.13 million. These loans have maturity dates between 2013 and 2017. A description of our loans as of June 30, 2013 is provided in Note 5 to our attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Over the next twelve months, we have scheduled repayments of approximately $17.61 million of the above debt.  We were in compliance with our loan agreement covenants as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013.
 
     We have partly hedged our interest rate exposure and entered into three interest rate swap agreements for a notional amount of $60 million which expire between July 14, 2013 and January 21, 2016.

Vessels, net
The decrease of approximately $15.3 million in the carrying value of our vessels to the amount of $191,672,016 is attributable to the depreciation charge for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $8,501,893 and  the sale of M/V Anking which had a carrying value at the date of the sale of approximately $6.8 million.  On June 18, 2013 the Company sold for scrap one of the oldest container vessels in its fleet, the M/V Anking, a 950 twenty-foot equivalent unit ("teu") multipurpose vessel built in 1990 for approximately $3.7 million and incurred a loss of approximately $3.2 million.

As of June 30, 2013, there was $324,321 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted.  The unvested compensation expense is based on the closing stock price of $1.04 on June 30, 2013 used for the valuation of the shares awarded to non-employees. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.82 year. The share based compensation recognized relating to the unvested shares was $367,429 for the six month periods ending June 30, 2013 (June 30, 2012: $326,496 )  and is included in general and administrative expenses.

9.           Financial Instruments

The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash on hand and at banks, trading securities, interest rate swaps and accounts receivable due from charterers. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long-term loans and accounts payable due to suppliers.

Interest rate risk

The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts as economic hedges to manage its exposure to variability in its floating rate long term debt. 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 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, the derivatives described below in this Note do not qualify for accounting purposes as fair value hedges, under guidance relating to  Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, as the Company does not 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 "Unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations." As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, the Company had three open swap contracts respectively.
 
Concentration of credit risk

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's investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.  As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, there were no customers with trade accounts receivable accounting for more than 10% of the customer's full year ended December 31, 2012 and six month period ended June 30, 2013 hire revenues, respectively.
 
Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company's long term borrowings approximates $52.6 million as of June 30 2013, or approximately $1.5 million less than its carrying value of $54.1 million. The fair value of the long term borrowing are estimated based on current interest rates offered to the Company for similar loans. LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans and hence fair value of the long-term bank loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy due to their variable interest rate, being the LIBOR. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps was the estimated amount the Company would pay to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the Company and its counter parties.

Fair value of financial instruments - continued

The Company follows guidance relating to "Fair value measurements", which establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  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 statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data;
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements is determined using a discounted cash flow approach based on market-based LIBOR swap rates.  LIBOR swap rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the swaps and therefore are considered Level 2 items. The fair values of the interest rate swap determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in guidance relating to "Fair value measurements" are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined. As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 no fair value measurements for assets or liabilities under Level 1 or Level 3 were recognized in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
