The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include
the accounts of Dryships Inc. (“Dryships”) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Dryships was formed on
September 9, 2004, under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall
Islands.
On October 18, 2004, all of the outstanding shares of the vessel
owning
companies listed under 1 through 6 in the table below (collectively,
the
“Contributed Companies”), were contributed to the Company through
Entrepreneurial Spirit Foundation (the “Foundation”), a family foundation
of Vaduz, Liechtenstein. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer,
Mr. George Economou and members of his immediate family (the “Family”)
control and are beneficiaries of the Foundation. The transaction
described
above constituted a reorganization of companies under common control,
and
has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests
and
the Contributed Companies are presented at historical cost as control
of
the Contributed Companies before and after the reorganization was
with the
Family. In February 2005 the Company completed its initial public
offering
in the United States under the United States Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended, the net proceeds of which amounted to $251,285. On February
14,
2006, the Foundation transferred its shares of the Company to its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Elios Investments Inc. (“Elios”), a corporation
organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall
Islands.
|
|
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial
information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information
and
notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements.
These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction
with our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31,
2006. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have
been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements
and, in
the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which
include normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative
of the
results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2007.
|
|
The
balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been derived from the
audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does
not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP
for
complete annual financial statements.
|
|
Certain
amounts in the 2006 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current period’s unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements. The reclassifications
had no
impact on the results of operations of the Company.

Basis
of Presentation and General
Information-(continued):
|
The
operations of the Company’s vessels are managed by Cardiff Marine Inc.
(the “Manager”), a related party entity incorporated in
Liberia. Furthermore, Drybulk S.A., a related party, Liberian
corporation acted as the charter and sales and purchase broker for
the
Company until September 30, 2006. Effective October 1, 2006 the Manager
acts as the Company’s charter and sales and purchase
broker. The majority shareholding (70%) of the Manager and
Drybulk S.A. is owned by the Foundation. The 30% shareholding of
the
Manager and Drybulk S.A. is held by Prestige Finance S.A., a Liberian
corporation, which is wholly owned by the sister of the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer.
|
|
During
the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, one charterer (Oldendorff
Carriers Gmbh), accounted for 20% of the Company’s voyage
revenues. No charterer accounted for 10% or more of
the Company’s voyage revenues for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2007.
|
|
In
addition, of the Company’s voyage revenues during the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, 24% and 17%, respectively, were derived
from
the participation of certain Company’s vessels in a drybulk
pool.
|
|
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) AUG AIR−1,
“Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities.” FSP AUG AIR−1
addresses the accounting for planned major maintenance activities.
Specifically, the FSP prohibits the practice of the accrue−in−advance
method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities, but
continues to permit the application of the other three alternative
methods
of accounting for planned major activities: direct expense, built−in
overhaul, and deferral. FSP AUG AIR−1 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company continued
applying deferral accounting method for dry−docking costs. As such,
FSPAUG AIR−1 did not have significant impact on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
|
|
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”), which permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other
items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of
an
entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Earlier
adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins
on
or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply
the
provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements.” The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of SFAS 159, but does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have
an
effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations
or
cash flows.

On
June 8, 2007 the Company concluded a Memorandum of Agreement with
an
unaffiliated third party for the acquisition of a second hand handymax
vessel Clipper Gemini for $50,162. The vessel is expected to be delivered
during the third quarter of 2007.
|
|
All
Company’s vessels, having total carrying value of $1,338,256 as of June
30, 2007, have been pledged as collateral to secure the bank loans
discussed in Note 8. As at June 30, 2007, three vessels were operating
under a drybulk pool (Note 1) while the remaining vessels were operating
under time charters, the last of which expires in December
2007.
|
|
When
the Company concludes a Memorandum of Agreement for the disposal
of a
vessel which has still to complete a time charter contract, it is
considered that the “held for sale” criteria discussed under SFAS 144
paragraph 30, is not met until the time charter contract has been
completed. As a result such vessels are not classified as held for
sale.

assets met these criteria to be classified as held for sale as at
June 30,
2007.

Advances
for vessels under construction and
acquisitions:

During
the year ended December 31, 2006 advances amounting to $27,380 were
made
for the vessels Ecola ($3,970), Primera ($3,800) and Samsara ($6,200)
and
for the Hulls 1518A and 1519A ($6,650), respectively and imputed
interest
($110). During the six months ended June 30, 2007 an advance was
made for
the Clipper Gemini ($5,016) while the vessels Samsara and Primera
were
delivered, and imputed interest for the six month period was calculated
($450).

Fair
value of acquired time charter:
|
During
the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company acquired two
dry
bulk carrier vessels for an aggregate consideration of $76,110,which
were
under existing time charter contracts which the Company agreed to
assume
through arrangements with the respective charterers. The Company
upon
delivery of each of the above vessels evaluated the charter contracts
assumed and recognized an asset of $5,517, representing the excess
of the
present value of the charters assumed over the then fair value of
such
charters at current market rates.
|
|
During
the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company acquired one
dry
bulk carrier vessel for $49,000, which was under an
existing bareboat time charter contract which the Company agreed
to assume
through arrangements with the respective charterers. The Company
upon
delivery of the above vessel evaluated the charter contracts assumed
and
recognized a liability of $ 3,325, representing the excess of the
then
fair value of such charters at current market rates over the then
excess
of the present value of the charters assumed.
|
|
These

agreements (“FFAs”) with the objective to utilize them as economic hedging
instruments in order to reduce its exposure to market price fluctuations

accounting and therefore changes in their fair value are reflected
in

loss on FFAs amounted to $12,863. As of December 31, 2006 the
fair value of the FFAs resulted in a liability of $2,625. As of June

Restatement
of Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period
ended June 30, 2006:
|
Subsequent
to the issuance of the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
for the period ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s management determined
that these financial statements were misstated for the items listed
below. As a result the Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2006 have been
restated
to correct these misstatements.
|
•
|
The
restatement to the Statement of Income for the period ended June
30, 2006,
relates to the inclusion of the loss on forward freight agreements
of
$12,863, which was previously shown directly in equity as it was
considered to meet the hedge accounting criteria according to Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS No. 133”), “Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This was
corrected in the Statement of Income for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2006.

|
•
|
A
vessel acquired in March 2006 was not correctly recorded at cost.
This was
corrected in the Statement of Stockholders’ equity for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2006.
