The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021 (the “2020 Annual Report”).

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

A discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report. Apart from the below, there have been no material changes to these policies in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021.

When and where the Company identifies any assets or liabilities associated with the acquisition of a vessel, the Company records all such identified assets or liabilities at fair value. Fair value is determined by reference to market data obtained by independent broker’s valuations. The valuations include the fair value of the vessel with and without the attached time

Revenue and expenses recognition

Revenues related to voyage charter contracts

The Company accounts for its voyage charter contracts following the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers. The Company has determined that its voyage charter agreements do not contain a lease because the charterer under such contracts does not have the right to control the use of the vessel since the Company retains control over the operations of the vessel, provided also that the terms of the voyage charter are predetermined, and any change requires the Company’s consent and are therefore considered service contracts.

As from the second quarter of 2021, we began operation for certain of our tanker vessels on pools. Pool revenue for each vessel is determined in accordance with the profit-sharing mechanism specified within each pool agreement. In particular, our pool managers aggregate the revenues and expenses of all of the pool participants and distribute the net earnings to participants, as applicable:

• (1) based on the pool points attributed to each vessel (which are determined by vessel attributes such as cargo carrying capacity, fuel consumption, and construction and other characteristics); or

• (2) by making adjustments to account for the cost performance, the bunkering fees and the trading capabilities of each vessel; and

• the number of days the vessel participated in the pool in the period (excluding off-hire days).

We record revenue generated from the pools in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, since we assess that a vessel pool arrangement is a variable time charter with the variable lease payments recorded as income in profit or loss in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

There are no recent accounting pronouncements the adoption of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements in the current period.

As of December 31, 2020, and September 30, 2021, balances with related parties consisted of the following:

Each of the Company’s ship-owning subsidiaries have entered into separate vessel management agreements with Pavimar, a company controlled by Ismini Panagiotidis, the sister of Petros Panagiotidis (see Note 1). Pursuant to the terms of the management agreements, Pavimar provides the Company with a wide range of shipping services, including crew management, technical management, operational employment management, insurance arrangements, provisioning, bunkering, vessel accounting and audit support services, in exchange for a daily fee. During the eight-month period ended August 31, 2020, the Company’s vessels then comprising its fleet were charged with a daily management fee of $500 per day per vessel. On September 1, 2020, the Company’s then shipowning subsidiaries entered into revised ship management agreements with Pavimar which replaced the then existing ship management agreements in their entirety (the “Technical Management Agreements”). Pursuant to the Technical Management Agreements, effective September 1, 2020, Pavimar provides the Company’s shipowning subsidiaries with the range of technical, crewing, insurance and operational services stipulated in the previous agreements in exchange for which Pavimar is now paid a daily fee of $600 per vessel, which may be also subject to an annual review on their anniversary date. The Technical Management Agreements have a term of five years, and such term automatically renews for a successive five-year term on each anniversary of their effective date, unless the agreements are terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions contained therein. In the event that the Technical Management Agreements are terminated by the ship-owning subsidiaries other than by reason of default by Pavimar, a termination fee equal to four times the total amount of the daily management fee calculated on an annual basis shall be payable from the ship-owning subsidiaries to Pavimar.

As of September 30, 2021, Pavimar has subcontracted the technical management of three of the Company’s dry bulk vessels and eight of its tanker vessels to third-party ship-management companies. These third-party management companies provide technical management to the respective vessels for a fixed annual fee which is paid by Pavimar at its own expense. In connection with the subcontracting services rendered by the third-party ship-management companies, the Company has as of September 30, 2021, paid Pavimar working capital guarantee deposits aggregating the amount of $1,362,646, of which $258,252 are included in Due to related party, current and $1,104,394 are presented in Due from related party, non-current in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.

(c)  Castor Ships:

On September 1, 2020, the Company and its shipowning subsidiaries entered into a master management agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with Castor Ships. Pursuant to the terms of the Master Agreement each of the Company’s shipowning subsidiaries also entered into separate commercial ship management agreements with Castor Ships (the “Commercial Shipmanagement Agreements” and together with the Master Agreement, the “Castor Ships Management Agreements”). Under the terms of the Castor Ships Management Agreements, Castor Ships manages overall the Company’s business and provides commercial ship management, chartering and administrative services, including, but not limited to, securing employment for the Company’s fleet, arranging and supervising the vessels’ commercial operations, handling all the Company’s vessel sale and purchase transactions, undertaking related shipping project and management advisory and support services, as well as other associated services requested from time to time by the Company and its shipowning subsidiaries. In exchange for these services, the Company and its subsidiaries pay Castor Ships (i) a flat quarterly management fee in the amount of $0.3 million for the management and administration of the Company’s business, (ii) a daily fee of $250 per vessel for the provision of the services under the Commercial Shipmanagement Agreements, (iii) a commission rate of 1.25% on all charter agreements arranged by Castor Ships and (iv) a commission of 1% on each vessel sale and purchase transaction.

The exercise price of the 2021 Third Private Placement Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Company’s common shares and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to existing shareholders.

Between their issuance date and September 30, 2021, there were no exercises of the Third Private Placement Warrants and, as a result, as of September 30, 2021, 19,230,770 Third Private Placement Warrants remained unexercised and potentially issuable into common stock of the Company.

On initial recognition the fair value of the 2021 Third Private Placement Warrants was $106.6 million and was determined using the Black-Scholes methodology. The fair value was considered by the Company to be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy since it was derived by unobservable inputs. The major unobservable input in connection with the valuation of the 2021 Third Private Placement Warrants was the volatility used in the valuation model, which was approximated by using historical observations of the Company’s share price. The annualized historical volatility that has been applied in the 2021 Third Private Placement Warrants valuation was 201.7%. A 5% increase in the volatility applied would have led to an increase of 0.7% in the fair value of the 2021 Third Private Placement Warrants.

At-the-market (“ATM”) common stock offering program 

On June 14, 2021, the Company, entered into an equity distribution agreement, or as commonly referred to, an at-the-market offering, with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), under which the Company may sell an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million of its common stock with Maxim acting as a sales agent over a minimum period of 12 months (the “ATM Program”). No warrants, derivatives, or other share classes were associated with this transaction. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had received gross proceeds of $12.9 million under the ATM Program by issuing 4,654,240 common shares, whereas the net proceeds under the ATM Program, after deducting sales commissions and other transaction fees and expenses, amounted to $12.4 million.

Issuance of common stock in connection with the Class A Warrants and the July 2020 equity offering warrants

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued 5,546,705 common shares upon the exercise of an equivalent number of Class A Warrants issued in the June 2020 follow-on offering and 5,707,135 common shares upon the exercise of an equivalent number of warrants issued in the July 2020 follow-on equity offering. As of September 30, 2021, the Company raised $39.4 million in proceeds from the partial exercise of warrants issued in the respective equity offerings.

8.	Equity Capital Structure (continued):

Reverse Stock Split

On May 28, 2021, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock without any change in the number of authorized common shares. All share and per share amounts, as well as warrant shares eligible for purchase under the Company's effective warrant schemes in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares as of May 28, 2021, was decreased to 89,955,848 while the par value of the Company's common shares remained unchanged at $0.001 per share.

◾

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, amounts due from/to related party/(ies) and trade accounts payable: The carrying values reported in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets for those financial instruments are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to their short-term maturity nature. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, current are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short term maturities. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for interest bearing cash classified as restricted cash, non-current and is considered Level 1 item of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of these instruments is separately reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.

◾

Long-term debt: The secured credit facilities discussed in Note 7, have a recorded value which is a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to their variable interest rate and are thus considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy as LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans.

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions in which it places its deposits. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition.

(a)	Commitments under Contracts for BWMS Installation

The Company has entered into a contract to purchase and install BWMS on four of its dry bulk carriers. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had completed and put into use the BWMS installation on one of these four dry bulk carrriers, the Magic Sun, whereas the contracted BWMS system installations on the Magic P, Magic Rainbow and the Magic Moon are expected to take place during 2022. It is estimated that the contractual obligations related to these purchases, excluding installation costs, will be on aggregate approximately €0.6 million (or $0.7 million on the basis of a Euro/US Dollar exchange rate of €1.0000/$1.1642 as of September 30, 2021), of which $0.01 million are due in 2021 and $0.68 million are due in 2022. These costs will be capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the life of each vessel.

11.	Earnings/ (Loss) Per Share:

The Company calculates earnings/(loss) per share by dividing net income/(loss) available to common shareholders in each period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during that period, after adjusting for the effect of cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, whether or not earned, and only at periods when dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are contractually allowed to accumulate. As further disclosed under Note 7 of the audited financial statements included in the 2020 Annual Report, dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares neither accrue nor accumulate during the period from July 1, 2019 until December 31, 2021 and the Company does not have any dividend priority restrictions to holders of its common shares during this period.

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share, if applicable, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive instruments were exercised, resulting in the issuance of additional shares that would then share in the Company’s net income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the denominator of diluted earnings per common share calculation includes the incremental shares assumed issued under the treasury stock method weighted for the period the shares were outstanding with respect to warrants that were outstanding during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021. Securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive, were the unexercised, as of September 30, 2021, Third Private Placement Warrants, calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred losses and the effect of the warrants outstanding during that period and as of that date, would be anti-dilutive. Hence, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 “Basic loss per share” equaled “Diluted loss per share”.

The components of the calculation of basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per common share in each of the periods comprising the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) are as follows:

The following table includes the voyage revenues earned by the Company from time charters, voyage charters and pool agreements for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, and 2021, as presented in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss):
