Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006(unaudited)

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (“GS&T”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we” or “us”). The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of drybulk cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. GS&T was incorporated on September 27, 2004 under the laws of the Marshall Islands and is the sole owner of all of the outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries: Genco Ship Management LLC; Genco Investments LLC; and the ship-owning subsidiaries as set forth below.

The Company began operations on December 6, 2004 with the delivery of its first vessel. The Company agreed to acquire a fleet of 16 drybulk carriers from an unaffiliated third party on November 19, 2004; these vessels were delivered during 2004 and 2005.

Additionally, on October 14, 2005, the Company acquired the Genco Muse with an existing time charter for $34,450, which was funded entirely by the Company’s credit facility entered into on July 29, 2005 (the “2005 Credit Facility”). The portion of the purchase price attributable to the vessel was $30,958 (see Note 4). On July 10, 2006, the Company acquired the Genco Acheron, the Genco Commander, and the Genco Surprise for a total purchase price of $81,250, all of which were delivered in the fourth quarter of 2006. During February 2007, the Company completed the sale of the Genco Glory to Cloud Maritime S.A. for $13,004, net of commission. On July 18, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire nine Capesize vessels from companies within the Metrostar Management Corporation group for an aggregate purchase price of $1,111,000 (See Subsequent Events Note 19). Upon completion of the acquisition, Genco's fleet will consist of nine Capesize, seven Panamax, seven Handymax, and five Handysize drybulk carriers, with a total carrying capacity of approximately 2,559,000 dwt and an average age of 8 years.

Below is the list of the Company’s wholly owned ship-owning subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007:

Prior to its initial public offering, GS&T was 100% owned by Fleet Acquisition LLC, a limited liability company organized on November 3, 2004 under the laws of the Marshall Islands. Fleet Acquisition LLC was owned approximately 65.65% by OCM Principal Opportunities III Fund, L.P. and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund IIIA, L.P., collectively, (“Oaktree”) of which Oaktree Management LLC is the General Partner, approximately 26.57% by Peter Georgiopoulos, and 7.78% by others. As of December 31, 2005, Fleet Acquisition LLC maintained a 53.08% ownership in the Company. On April 14, 2006, Fleet Acquisition LLC distributed 1,050,210 shares to certain of its members, and on December 15, 2006, Fleet Acquisition LLC distributed 3,587,361 shares to Peter Georgiopoulos, our Chairman. As a result, at December 31, 2006, Oaktree beneficially owned approximately 34.75% of the Company through Fleet Acquisition, LLC and Peter Georgiopoulos beneficially owned approximately 14.07%. In January 2007, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register possible future offerings, including possible resales by Fleet Acquisition LLC. That registration statement, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on February 7, 2007. Fleet Acquisition LLC utilized that registration statement to conduct an underwritten offering of 4,830,000 shares it owned, including an over-allotment option granted to underwriters for 630,000 shares which the underwriters exercised in full. Following completion of that offering, Fleet Acquisition LLC owns 15.80% of our common stock.

2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which include the accounts of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Reference is made to the December 31, 2006 consolidated financial statements of Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Business geographics

The Company’s vessels regularly move between countries in international waters, over hundreds of trade routes and, as a result, the disclosure of geographic information is impracticable.

Vessel acquisitions

When the Company enters into an acquisition transaction, it determines whether the acquisition transaction was the purchase of an asset or a business based on the facts and circumstances of the transaction. As is customary in the shipping industry, the purchase of a vessel is normally treated as a purchase of an asset as the historical operating data for the vessel is not reviewed nor is material to our decision to make such acquisition.

When a vessel is acquired with an existing time charter, the Company allocates the purchase price of the vessel and the time charter based on, among other things, vessel market valuations and the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired charters) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the charter terms and (ii) management's estimate of the fair market charter rate, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the charter. The capitalized above-market (assets) and below-market (liabilities) charters are amortized as a reduction or increase, respectively, to voyage revenues over the remaining term of the charter.

Segment reporting

The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues and not by the length of ship employment for its customers, i.e., spot or time charters. The Company does not use discrete financial information to evaluate the operating results for different types of charters. Although revenue can be identified for these types of charters, management cannot and does not separately 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 one reportable 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 geographic information is impracticable.

Revenue and voyage expense recognition

Since the Company’s inception, revenues have been generated from time charter agreements and pool agreements. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterer’s disposal for a set period of time during which the charterer may use the vessel in return for the payment by the charterer of a specified daily hire rate. In time charters, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses such as commissions which are borne by the Company.

The Company records time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided. Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the term of the respective time charter agreement. The Company recognizes vessel operating expenses when incurred.

In December 2005 and February 2006, respectively, the Genco Trader and the Genco Leader entered into the Baumarine Panamax Pool. Vessel pools, such as the Baumarine Panamax Pool, provide cost-effective commercial management activities for a group of similar class vessels. The pool arrangement provides the benefits of a large-scale operation, and chartering efficiencies that might not be available to smaller fleets. Under the pool arrangement, the vessels operate under a time charter agreement whereby the cost of bunkers and port expenses are borne by the charterer and operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel. Since the members of the pool share in the revenue generated by the entire group of vessels in the pool, and the pool operates in the spot market, the revenue earned by these two vessels was subject to the fluctuations of the spot market. Effective December 24, 2006 and January 15, 2007, respectively, the Genco Trader and Genco Leader exited the Baumarine Panamax Pool.

Included in the standard time charter contracts with our customers are certain performance parameters, which if not met can result in customer claims. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had a reserve of $166 against due from charterers balance and an additional reserve of $850, each of which is associated with estimated customer claims against the Company including time charter performance issues. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a reserve of $187 against due from charterers balance and an additional reserve of $571, each of which is associated with estimated customer claims against the Company, including time charter performance issues.

Vessel operating expenses

Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, and other miscellaneous expenses. Vessel operating expenses are recognized when incurred.

Vessels, net

Vessels, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard.

Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessel’s remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight ton (lwt). At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company estimated the residual value of vessels to be $175/lwt.

Fixed assets, net

Fixed assets, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are based on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the specific asset placed in service. The following table is used in determining the estimated useful lives:

Description Useful lives

Leasehold improvements 15 years

Furniture, fixtures & other equipment 5 years

Vessel equipment 2-5 years

Computer equipment 3 years

Deferred drydocking costs

The Company’s vessels are required to be drydocked approximately every 30 to 60 months for major repairs and maintenance that cannot be performed while the vessels are operating. The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the drydockings as they occur and depreciates these costs on a straight-line basis over the period between drydockings. Costs capitalized as part of a vessel’s drydocking include actual costs incurred at the drydocking yard; cost of parts that are reasonably made in anticipation of reducing the duration or cost of the drydocking; cost of travel, lodging and subsistence of personnel sent to the drydocking site to supervise; and the cost of hiring a third party to oversee the drydocking.

Inventory

Inventory consists of lubricants and bunkers (fuel) which are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. In the evaluation of the fair value and future benefits of long-lived assets, the Company performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived assets. If the carrying value of the related asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to its fair value. Various factors including anticipated future charter rates, estimated scrap values, future drydocking costs and estimated vessel operating costs, are included in this analysis.

For three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, no impairment charges were recorded, based on the analysis described above.

Deferred financing costs

Deferred financing costs, included in other assets, consist of fees, commissions and legal expenses associated with obtaining loan facilities. These costs are amortized over the life of the related debt, which is included in interest expense. See Subsequent Event Note 19 for discussion on the refinance of the Company’s existing facilities and the associated write-off in July 2007 of the unamortized deferred financing cost of $3,568.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Short-term investments

The Company holds an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui Shipping and Transportation Limited (“Jinhui”). Jinhui is a drybulk shipping owner and operator focused on the Supramax segment of drybulk shipping. This investment is designated as available-for-sale and is reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The cost of securities when sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses on the sale of these securities will be reflected in the consolidated statement of operations in other (expense) income.

Should the decline in the value of any investment be deemed to be other-than-temporary, the investment basis would be written down to fair market value, and the write-down would be recorded to earnings as a loss.

Income taxes

Pursuant to Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Code”), qualified income derived from the international operations of ships is excluded from gross income and exempt from U.S. federal income tax if a company engaged in the international operation of ships meets certain requirements. Among other things, in order to qualify, the company must be incorporated in a country which grants an equivalent exemption to U.S. corporations and must satisfy certain qualified ownership requirements.

The Company is incorporated in the Marshall Islands. Pursuant to the income tax laws of the Marshall Islands, the Company is not subject to Marshall Islands income tax. The Marshall Islands has been officially recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a qualified foreign country that currently grants the requisite equivalent exemption from tax.

Based on the publicly traded requirement of the Section 883 regulations as described in the next paragraph, we believe that the Company qualified for exemption from income tax for 2006.

In order to meet the publicly traded requirement for 2006 and future years, our stock must be treated as being primarily and regularly traded for more than half the days of any such year. Under the Section 883 regulations, our qualification for the publicly traded requirement may be jeopardized if shareholders of our common stock that own five percent or more of our stock (“5% shareholders”) own, in the aggregate, 50% or more of our common stock for more than half the days of the year. We believe that during 2006, the combined ownership of our 5% shareholders did not equal 50% or more of our common stock for more than half the days of 2006. However if our 5% shareholders were to increase their ownership to 50% or more of our common stock for more than half the days of 2007 or any future taxable year, we would not be eligible to claim exemption from tax under Section 883 for that taxable year. We can therefore give no assurance that changes and shifts in the ownership of our stock by 5% shareholders will not preclude us from qualifying for exemption from tax in 2007 or in future years.

If the Company does not qualify for the exemption from tax under Section 883, it would be subject to a 4% tax on the gross “shipping income” (without the allowance for any deductions) that is treated as derived from sources within the United States or “United States source shipping income.” For these purposes, “shipping income” means any income that is derived from the use of vessels, from the hiring or leasing of vessels for use, or from the performance of services directly related to those uses; and “United States source shipping income” includes 50% of shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as income when earned.

Comprehensive income

The Company follows SFAS No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and amounts related to the adoption of SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

Nonvested stock awards

In 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, for nonvested stock issued under its equity incentive plan. Adoption of this new accounting policy did not change the method of accounting for nonvested stock awards. However, deferred compensation costs from nonvested stock have been classified as a component of paid-in capital as required by SFAS No. 123R.

Accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include vessel and drydock valuations and the valuation of amounts due from charterers. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are amounts due from charterers. With respect to amounts due from charterers, the Company attempts to limit its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations and, when deemed necessary, requiring letters of credit, guarantees or collateral. Although the Company earned 100% of revenues from thirteen and eleven customers, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 100% of revenues from sixteen and eleven customers, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, management does not believe significant risk exists in connection with the Company’s concentrations of credit at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 there are four customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue, which represented 16.31%, 11.67%, 10.97% and 10.09% of revenue, respectively. For the three months ended June, 2006 there were two customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue, which represented 24.11% and 16.21% of revenue, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007 there are three customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue, which represented 16.04%, 11.97%, and 10.41% of revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June, 2006 there were two customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of revenue, which represented 23.67% and 15.95% of revenue, respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments such as amounts due from charterers, accounts payable and long term debt approximate their individual carrying amounts as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 due to their short-term maturity or the variable-rate nature of the respective borrowings.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps and currency swaps (used for purposes other than trading) is the estimated amount the Company would receive to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the swaps’ counterparty for assets and creditworthiness of the Company for liabilities.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”) in the first quarter of 2007.

Interest rate risk management

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. The Company’s objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on its earnings and cash flow in relation to its borrowings. The Company held three interest rate risk management instruments at June 30, 2007 and at December 31, 2006, in order to manage future interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates.

The differential to be paid or received for the effectively hedged portion of any swap agreement is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred. Additionally, the change in value for the portion of the swaps that are effectively hedged is reflected as a component of OCI.

For the portion of the forward interest rate swaps that are not effectively hedged, the change in the value and the rate differential to be paid or received is recognized as income or (expense) from derivative instruments and is listed as a component of other (expense) income until such time the Company has obligations against which the swap is designated and is an effective hedge.

Currency risk management

The Company is exposed to the impact of exchange rate changes. The Company’s objective is to manage the impact of exchange rate changes on its earnings and cash flow in relation to its short-term investments. The Company held two exchange rate risk management instruments at June 30, 2007, in order to manage future risk associated with changing exchange rates.

The change in the value in the currency swaps is recognized as income or (expense) from derivative instruments and is listed as a component of other (expense) income.

Derivative financial instruments

To manage its exposure to fluctuating interest rates, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate differentials to be paid or received under these agreements for any portion of designated debt that is effectively hedged is accrued and recognized as an adjustment of interest expense. The interest rate differential on the swaps that do not have designated debt or are not effectively hedged will be reflected as income or (expense) from derivative instruments and is listed as a component of other (expense) income. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is recognized in the financial statements as a non-current asset or liability.

Amounts receivable or payable arising at the settlement of hedged interest rate swaps are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the period of interest rate exposure provided the designated liability continues to exist. Amounts receivable or payable arising at the settlement of unhedged interest rate swaps are reflected as income or (expense) from derivative instruments and are included as a component of other (expense) income.

The Company has entered into a number of short term currency swaps to hedge the Company’s exposure to the Norwegian Kroner related to the purchase of Jinhui stock as described above under the sub heading Short-term investments. The Company had currency swaps in place for a notional amount of 617.4 million NOK (Norwegian Kroner) or $101,641, which all matured on July 16, 2007. The Company entered into another currency swap expiring August 16, 2007 for the same notional amount of 617.4 million NOK for $107,369. Realized gains of $1,316 arising at the settlement of the currency swaps are reflected as income from derivative instruments and are included as a component of other (expense) income. The short-term liability associated with the currency swaps at June 30, 2007 is $2,910 and is presented as the fair value of derivatives on the balance sheet and also is reflected as an unrealized loss from derivative instruments and are included as a component of other (expense) income.

New accounting pronouncements

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No.157 which enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. Previously, guidance for applying fair value was incorporated in several accounting pronouncements. The new statement provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. While

the statement does not add any new fair value measurements, it does change current practice. One such change is a requirement to adjust the value of nonvested stock for the effect of the restriction even if the restriction lapses within one year. The early adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2007, did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes–an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has adopted FIN 48, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). Under this statement, the Company may elect to report financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis with changes in value reported in earnings. This election is irrevocable. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company commencing in 2008. Early adoption within 120 days of the beginning of the year is permissible, provided the Company has adopted SFAS No. 157. The adoption of SFAS 159 on January 1, 2008, is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

3 - CASH FLOW INFORMATION

The Company entered into the 4.485% Swap during 2005 and the 5.075% Swap and 5.25% Swap during March 2006. These swaps are described and discussed in Note 8. The fair value of the 4.485% Swap, 5.075% Swap and 5.25% Swap are in an asset position of $8,490 as of June 30, 2007 and the fair value of the 4.485% Swap at December 31, 2006 is $4,462. The fair values of the 5.075% Swap and 5.25% Swap at December 31, 2006 are in a liability position of $807.

The Company had non-cash operating and investing activities not included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for items included in accounts payable and accrued expenses for the purchase of fixed assets of approximately $14 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

On February 8, 2007 the Company granted nonvested stock to certain directors and employees. The fair value of such nonvested stock was $494 on the grant date and was recorded in equity. Additionally, during January 2007, nonvested stock forfeited amounted to $54 for shares granted in 2005 and is recorded in equity. Lastly during May 2007, nonvested stock forfeited amounted to $88 for shares granted in 2006 and 2005 and is recorded in equity.

During 2006, the Company granted nonvested stock to its employees. The fair value of such nonvested stock was $2,018 on the grant date and was recorded in equity. Additionally, during 2006, nonvested stock forfeited amounted to $12 for shares granted in 2005 and is recorded in equity.

4 - VESSEL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

In July 2007 the Company entered into an agreement to acquire nine Capesize vessels from companies within the Metrostar Management Corporation group for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,100,000. Upon completion of the acquisition, Genco's fleet will consist of nine Capesize, seven Panamax, seven Handymax, and five Handysize drybulk carriers, with a total carrying capacity of approximately 2,559,000 dwt and an average age of 8 years. Two of the nine Capesize vessels were built in the first quarter of 2007 and are expected to be delivered to Genco during the third quarter of 2007. The remaining seven Capesize vessels are expected to be built, and subsequently delivered to Genco, between the fourth quarter of 2007 and the third quarter of 2009. See Subsequent Events Note 19 for description of the acquisition.

On February 21, 2007, the Genco Glory was sold to Cloud Maritime S.A. for $13,004 net of a brokerage commission paid to WeberCompass (Hellas) S.A. Based on the selling price and the net book value of the vessel, the Company recorded a gain of $3,575 during the first quarter of 2007.

On July 10, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with affiliates of Franco Compania Naviera S.A. under which the Company purchased three drybulk vessels for an aggregate price of $81,250. These vessels were delivered in the fourth quarter of 2006. The acquisition consisted of a 1999 Japanese-built Panamax vessel, the Genco Acheron, a 1998 Japanese-built Panamax vessel, the Genco Surprise, and a 1994 Japanese-built Handymax vessel, the Genco Commander.

On October 14, 2005, the Company took delivery of the Genco Muse, a 48,913 dwt Handymax drybulk carrier and the results of its operations is included in the consolidated results of the Company after that date. The vessel is a 2001 Japanese-built vessel. The total purchase price of the vessel was $34,450. The purchase price included the assumption of an existing time charter with Qatar Navigation QSC at a rate of $26.5 per day. Due to the above market rate of the existing time charter at the time of the acquisition, the Company has capitalized $3,492 of the purchase price as an asset which is being amortized as a reduction of voyage revenues through September 2007 (the remaining term of the charter). For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, $461 was amortized for each respective period and for the six months ended June, 2007 and 2006, $917 was amortized for each respective period. The remaining unamortized balance at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 $326 and $1,244, respectively, will be reflected as a reduction of voyage revenue during 2007.

See Note 1 for discussion on the acquisition of our initial 16 drybulk carriers.

The purchase and sale of the aforementioned vessels is consistent with the Company's strategy of selectively expanding the number and maintaining the high-quality vessels in the fleet.

5 – SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

The Company holds an investment of 14,180,400 shares of Jinhui capital stock and is recorded at the fair value of $132,307 based on the closing price of 55 NOK at June 29, 2007. The unrealized gain due to the appreciation of stock and currency translation gain of $26,489 and $1,910, respectively for these securities is recorded as a component of OCI since this investment is designated as available-for-sale. Realized gains and losses on the sale of these securities will be reflected in the consolidated statement of operations in other (expense) income once sold.

6 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards (see Note 17), for which the assumed proceeds upon grant are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the restricted stock grants are dilutive.

The components of the denominator for the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2007	2006	2007	2006

Common shares outstanding, basic:
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic	25,312,593	25,263,481	25,310,783	25,261,750

Common shares outstanding, diluted:
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic	25,312,593	25,263,481	25,310,783	25,261,750

Weighted average restricted stock awards	143,820	73,543	128,260	59,076

Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted	25,456,413	25,337,024	25,439,043	25,320,826

7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following are related party transactions not disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements:

In June 2006, the Company made an employee performing internal audit services available to General Maritime Corporation (“GMC”), where the Company’s Chairman, Peter C. Georgiopoulos, also serves as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Stephen A. Kaplan, one of the Company’s directors, also serves as a director. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company invoiced $64 and $7, respectively, to GMC for the time associated with such internal audit services. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the amount due the Company from GMC is $0 and $25, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred travel and other sundry related expenditures totaling $69 and $139, respectively, reimbursable to GMC or its service provider, where the Company Chairman, Peter C. Georgiopoulos also serves as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Stephen A. Kaplan also serves as a director. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 approximately, $49 of these travel expenditures were paid from the gross proceeds received from the initial public offering and as such were included in the determination of net proceeds. The amount due GMC or its service provider is $69 at June 30, 2007 and no amounts were due at December 31, 2006.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company incurred legal services aggregating $29 and $27 from Constantine Georgiopoulos, father of Peter C. Georgiopoulos, Chairman of the Board. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $0 and $54, respectively, was outstanding to Constantine Georgiopoulos.

In December 2006, the Company engaged the services of WeberCompass (Hellas) S.A. (“WC”), a shipbroker, to facilitate the sale of the Genco Glory. One of our directors, Basil G. Mavroleon, is a Managing Director of WC and a Managing Director and shareholder of Charles R. Weber Company, Inc., which is 50% shareholder of WC. WC was paid a commission of $132, or 1% of the gross selling price of the Genco Glory. No amounts were due to WC at June 30, 2007 or at December 31, 2006.

During 2007, the Company utilized the services of North Star Maritime, Inc. (“NSM”) which is owned and operated by one of our directors, Rear Admiral Robert C. North, USCG (ret.). NSM, a marine industry consulting firm, specializes in international and domestic maritime safety, security and environmental protection issues. NSM billed $12 for services rendered. The amount due NSM is $5 at June 30, 2007 and no amounts were due at December 31, 2006.

8 - LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt consists of the following:

	June 30, 2007		December 31, 2006

Outstanding total debt (2005 Credit Facility and Short-Term Line)	$	283,233	$	211,933
Less: Current portion		18,750		4,322

Long-term debt	$	264,483	$	207,611

2007 Credit Facility

On July 20, 2007, the Company entered into a new credit facility with DnB Nor Bank ASA (the “2007 Credit Facility”) for the purpose of acquiring the nine new Capesize vessels and refinancing the Company’s existing 2005 Credit Facility and Short-Term Line. The Company has used borrowings under the 2007 Credit Facility to repay amounts outstanding under the 2005 Credit Facility and the Short-Term Line, and these two facilities have accordingly been terminated. The maximum amount that may be borrowed under the 2007 Credit Facility is $1,377,000. See Note 19 for a description of the 2007 Credit Facility and the associated write-off of the unamortized deferred financing cost in the amount of $3,568 associated with the Company’s existing facilities. This non-cash write-off occurred in the third quarter of 2007. In addition, subject to certain capital tests, the Company

must pay up to $6,250 or such lesser amount as is available from Net Cash Flow (as defined in the credit agreement for the 2007 Credit Facility) each fiscal quarter to reduce borrowings under the new credit facility. Such requirement begins with the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007. Management estimates the entire $6,250 quarterly payment will be available for repayment and therefore these payments are reflected as a current liability under current portion of long-term debt.

Short-Term Line

On May 3, 2007, the Company entered into a short-term line of credit facility under which DnB NOR Bank ASA, Grand Cayman Branch and Nordea Bank Norge ASA, Grand Cayman Branch servedas lenders (the “Short-Term Line”). The Short-Term Line was entered into to fund a portion of acquisitions we may make of shares of capital stock of Jinhui. The Short-Term Line, allowed us to borrow up to $155,000 for such acquisitions, and as of June 30, 2007, we borrowed $77,000 under the Short-Term Line. The term of the Short-Term Line was for 364 days, and the interest on amounts drawn was payable at the rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 0.85% per annum for the first six month period and LIBOR plus a margin of 1.00% for the remaining term. We were also obligated to pay certain commitment and administrative fees in connection with the Short-Term Line. The Company as required pledged all of the Jinhui shares it has purchased as collateral against the Short-Term Line. The Short-Term Line incorporated by reference certain covenants from our 2005 Credit Facility described below.

The Short-Term Line has been reclassed to long-term debt, as this line has been refinanced under the 2007 Credit Facility, which is a long-term obligation.

Interest rates on Short-Term Line

The effective interest rates, including the cost associated with unused commitment fees for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was 6.92%. The interest rate on the debt, excluding the unused commitment fees, was 6.225% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 The Short-Term Line was put in place during the second quarter of 2007, and therefore effective interest information is not presented for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and no information is presented for 2006 comparative periods.

2005 Credit Facility

The Company entered into the 2005 Credit Facility as of July 29, 2005. The 2005 Credit Facility was with a syndicate of commercial lenders including Nordea Bank Finland plc, New York Branch, DnB NOR Bank ASA, New York Branch and Citibank, N.A. The 2005 Credit Facility has been used to refinance our indebtedness under our original credit facility entered into on December 3, 2004 (the “Original Credit Facility”). Under the terms of our 2005 Credit Facility, borrowings in the amount of $106,233 were used to repay indebtedness under our Original Credit Facility and additional net borrowings of $24,450 were obtained to fund the acquisition of the Genco Muse. In July 2006, the Company increased the line of credit by $100,000 and during the second and third quarters of 2006 borrowed $81,250 for the acquisition of three vessels. At June 30, 2007, $443,767 remained available to fund future vessel acquisitions. The Company may borrow up to $20,000 of the $443,767 for working capital purposes.

The 2005 Credit Facility had a term of ten years and would have matured on July 29, 2015. The facility permitted borrowings up to 65% of the value of the vessels that secure our obligations under the 2005 Credit Facility up to the facility limit, provided that conditions to drawdown are satisfied. Certain of these conditions required the Company, among other things, to provide to the lenders acceptable valuations of the vessels in our fleet confirming that the aggregate amount outstanding under the facility (determined on a pro forma basis giving effect to the amount proposed to be drawn down) will not exceed 65% of the value of the vessels pledged as collateral. The facility limit is reduced by an amount equal to 8.125% of the total $550,000, commitment, semi-annually over a period of four years and is reduced to $0 on the tenth anniversary.

On February 7, 2007, the Company reached an agreement with its syndicate of commercial lenders to allow the Company to increase the amount of the 2005 Credit Facility by $100,000, for a total maximum availability of $650,000. The Company had the option to increase the facility amount by $25,000 increments up to the additional $100,000, so long as at least one bank within the syndicate agrees to fund such increase. Any increase associated with this agreement was generally governed by the existing terms of the 2005 Credit Facility, although we and any

banks providing the increase could have agreed to vary the upfront fees, unutilized commitment fees, or other fees payable by us in connection with the increase.

The obligations under the 2005 Credit Facility were secured by a first-priority mortgage on each of the vessels in our fleet as well as any future vessel acquisitions pledged as collateral and funded by the 2005 Credit Facility. The 2005 Credit Facility was also secured by a first-priority security interest in our earnings and insurance proceeds related to the collateral vessels.

All of our vessel-owning subsidiaries were full and unconditional joint and several guarantors of our 2005 Credit Facility. Each of these subsidiaries is wholly owned by Genco Shipping & Trading Limited. Genco Shipping & Trading Limited has no independent assets or operations.

Interest on the amounts drawn was payable at the rate of 0.95% per annum over LIBOR until the fifth anniversary of the closing of the 2005 Credit Facility and 1.00% per annum over LIBOR thereafter. We were also obligated to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.375% per annum on any undrawn amounts available under the facility. On July 29, 2005, the Company paid an arrangement fee to the lenders of $2.7 million on the original commitment of $450,000 and an additional $600 for the $100,000 commitment increase which equates to 0.6% of the total commitment of $550,000 as of July 12, 2006. These arrangement fees along with other costs have been capitalized as deferred financing costs.

Under the terms of our 2005 Credit Facility, we were permitted to pay or declare dividends in accordance with our dividend policy so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such declaration or payment.

The 2005 Credit Facility had certain financial covenants that require the Company, among other things, to: ensure that the fair market value of the collateral vessels maintains a certain multiple as compared to the outstanding indebtedness; maintain a specified ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization; maintain a specified ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to interest expense; maintain a net worth of approximately $263,000; and maintain working capital liquidity in an amount of not less than $500 per vessel securing the borrowings. Additionally, there were certain non-financial covenants that required the Company, among other things, to provide the lenders with certain legal documentation, such as the mortgage on a newly acquired vessel using funds from the 2005 Credit Facility, and other periodic communications with the lenders that include certain compliance certificates at the time of borrowing and on a quarterly basis. For the period since facility inception through June 30, 2007, the Company has been in compliance with these covenants, except for an age covenant in conjunction with the acquisition of the Genco Commander, a 1994 vessel, for which the Company obtained a waiver for the term of the agreement.

The 2005 Credit Facility permitted the issuance of letters of credit up to a maximum amount of $50,000. The conditions under which letters of credit can be issued were substantially the same as the conditions for borrowing funds under the facility. Each letter of credit must terminate within twelve months, but can be extended for successive periods also not exceeding twelve months. The Company would pay a fee of 1/8 of 1% per annum on the amount of letters of credit outstanding. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were no letters of credit issued under the 2005 Credit Facility.

Due to the agreement related to the sale of the Genco Glory, the 2005 Credit Facility required a certain portion of the debt be repaid based on a pro-rata basis. The repayment amount is calculated by dividing the value of the vessel being sold by the value of the entire fleet and multiplying such percentage by the total debt outstanding. Therefore, the Company reflected $4,322 as current portion of long-term debt as of December 31, 2006. The Company repaid $5,700 during the first quarter of 2007 to comply with the repayment requirement from the sale of the Genco Glory.

The following table sets forth our maturity dates of the outstanding debt of $283,233 at June 30, 2007 under both the 2005 Credit Facility and the Short-Term Line and management’s estimated repayment under the requirements of the 2007 Credit Facility which refinanced the outstanding debt at June 30, 2007:

Letter of credit

In conjunction with the Company entering into a new long-term office space lease (See Note 15 - Lease Payments), the Company was required to provide a letter of credit to the landlord in lieu of a security deposit. As of September 21, 2005, the Company obtained an annually renewable unsecured letter of credit with DnB NOR Bank in the amount of $650 at a fee of 1% per annum. The letter of credit was reduced to $520 on August 1, 2007 and is cancelable on each renewal date provided the landlord is given 150 days minimum notice.

Interest rate swap agreements

Effective September 14, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with DnB NOR Bank to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The notional principal amount of the swap is $106,233 and has a fixed interest rate on the notional amount of 4.485% through July 29, 2015 (the “4.485% Swap”). The swap's expiration date coincides with the expiration of the 2005 Credit Facility on July 29, 2015. The differential to be paid or received for this swap agreement is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred. The change in value on this swap is reflected as a component of OCI.

The Company has determined that the 4.485% Swap continues to effectively hedge the debt. Interest income pertaining to this interest rate swap for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $234 and $135, respectively. Interest income pertaining to this interest rate swap for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $468 and $146, respectively.

On March 24, 2006, the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $50,000, and has a fixed interest rate on the notional amount of 5.075% from January 2, 2008 through January 2, 2013 (the “5.075% Swap”) The change in the value of this swap was recognized as income from derivative instruments and was listed as a component of other (expense) income until the Company had obligations against which the swap was designated and was an effective hedge. In November 2006, the Company designated $50,000 of the swap’s notional amount against the Company’s debt and utilized hedge accounting whereby the change in value for the portion of the swap that was effectively hedged was recorded as a component of OCI.

On March 29, 2006, the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $50,000 and has a fixed interest rate on the notional amount of 5.25% from January 2, 2007 through January 2, 2014 (the“5.25% Swap”). The change in the value of this swap for this swap agreement was recognized as income from derivative instruments and was listed as a component of other (expense) income until the Company had obligations against which the swap was designated and was an effective hedge. Effective July 2006, the Company designated $32,575 and in October 2006 designated the remaining $17,425 of the swap’s notional amount against the Company’s debt and utilized hedge accounting whereby the change in value for the portion of the swap that was effectively hedged was recorded as a component of OCI.

Interest income pertaining to the 5.25% Swap for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $13 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $26. The rate differential was not in effect through out 2006.

For the swap agreements for which there is designated debt associated with it, and the rate differential is in effect, the total interest rate is fixed at the fixed interest rate of swap plus the applicable margin on the debt of 0.95% in the first 5 years of the 2005 Credit Facility and 1.0% in the last five years.

The 5.075% Swap does not have any interest income or expense as the swap is not effective until, January 2, 2008. The rate differential on any portion of the swap that effectively hedges our debt will be recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred and the ineffective portion, if any, will be recognized as income or expense from derivative instruments.

The asset associated with the 4.485% Swap, the 5.075% Swap and the 5.25% Swap at June 30, 2007 is $8,490 and the asset associated with the 4.485% Swap at December 31, 2006 is $4,462, and are presented as the fair value of derivatives on the balance sheet. The liability associated with the 5.075% Swap and the 5.25% Swap at December 31, 2006 is $807, and is presented as the fair value of derivatives on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company has accumulated OCI of $8,381 and $3,546, respectively, related to the 4.485% Swap and a portion of the 5.25% Swap and 5.075% Swap that are effectively hedged. The portion of the 5.075% Swap and the 5.25% Swap that have not been effectively hedged resulted in income from derivative instruments of $1,721 and $2,197, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, due to the increase in the value of these instruments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 the Swaps had no ineffectiveness resulting in any income or expense from derivative instruments.

On July 31, 2007 the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $100,000, and has a fixed interest rate on the notional amount of 5.115% from November 30, 2007 through November 30, 2011 (the “5.115% Swap”). See Subsequent Event Note 19 for further information.

Interest rates on 2005 Credit Facility

The effective interest rates, including the cost associated with unused commitment fees, and the rate differential on the 4.485% Swap and the 5.25% Swap, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, were 6.48% and 6.52%, respectively. The interest rates on the debt, excluding the unused commitment fees, ranged from 6.26% to 6.39% and from 5.64% to 6.33% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The effective interest rates, including the cost associated with unused commitment fees, and the rate differential on the 4.485% Swap and the 5.25% Swap, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, were 6.48% and 6.46%, respectively. The interest rates on the debt, excluding the unused commitment fees, ranged from 6.26% to 6.39% and from 5.20% to 6.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated carrying and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

	June 30, 2007				December 31, 2006
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Cash	$	67,798	$	67,798	$	73,554	$	73,554
Short-term investments		132,307		132,307		-		-
Floating rate debt		283,233		283,233		211,933		211,933
Derivative instruments – asset position		8,490		8,490		4,462		4,462
Derivative instruments – liability position		2,910		2,910		807		807

The fair value of the short-term investments is based on quoted market rates. The fair value of the revolving credit facility is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt of the same remaining maturities and additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of the revolving credit facility. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for the floating rate loans. The fair value of the interest rate and currency swaps (used for purposes other than trading) is the estimated amount the

Company would receive to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of the swap counterparty.

The Company elected to early adopt SFAS No. 157 beginning in our 2007 fiscal year and there was no material impact to our first quarter financial statements. SFAS No. 157 applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 157 requires new disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, 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 following table summarizes the valuation of our short-term investments and financial instruments by the above SFAS No. 157 pricing levels as of the valuation dates listed:

	June 30, 2007
	Total		Quoted market prices in active markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Short-term investments	$	132,307	$	132,307
Derivative instruments – asset position		8,490				8,490
Derivative instruments – liability position		2,910				2,910

The Company holds an investment in the capital stock of Jinhui and is classified as a short-term investment. The stock of Jinhui is publicly traded on the Norwegian stock exchange and is considered a Level 1 item. The Company’s derivative instruments are pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps based on LIBOR swap rate. The LIBOR swap rate is observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swaps and therefore is considered a level 2 item. In addition, the Company’s derivative instruments include currency swap agreements based on the Norwegian Krona, which is observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the swaps and therefore is considered a Level 2 item. For the derivative instruments in an asset position, the credit standing of the counterparty is analyzed and factored into the fair value measurement of the asset. SFAS No. 157 states that the fair value measurement of a liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity. Therefore, the impact of the Company’s creditworthiness has also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments in a liability position.

15 - LEASE PAYMENTS

In September 2005, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for office space in New York, New York. The monthly rental is as follows: Free rent from September 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006, $40 per month from August 1, 2006 to August 31, 2010, $43 per month from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2015, and $46 per month from September 1, 2015 to August 31, 2020. The Company obtained a tenant work credit of $324. The monthly straight-line rental expense from September 1, 2005 to August 31, 2020 is $39. As a result of the straight-line rent calculation generated by the free rent period and the tenant work credit, the Company has a deferred rent credit at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 of $734 and $743, respectively. The Company has the option to extend the lease for a period of 5 years from September 1, 2020 to August 31, 2025. The rent for the renewal period will be based on prevailing market rate for the six months prior to the commencement date of the extension term.

17- NONVESTED STOCK AWARDS

On July 12, 2005, the Company’s board of directors approved the Genco Shipping and Trading Limited 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under this plan, the Company’s board of directors, the compensation committee, or another designated committee of the board of directors may grant a variety of stock-based incentive awards to employees, directors and consultants whom the compensation committee (or other committee or the board of directors) believes are key to the Company’s success.

18 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

19 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 26, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.66 per share to be paid on or about August 31, 2007 to shareholders of record as of August 17, 2007. The aggregate amount of the dividend is expected to be $16,840, which the Company anticipates will be funded from cash on hand at the time payment is to be made.

On July 18, 2007, we agreed to acquire nine Capesize vessels from companies within the Metrostar Management Corporation group for an aggregate purchase price of $1,111,000, inclusive of commissions. Two of the nine Capesize vessels were built in the first quarter of 2007 and are expected to be delivered to Genco during the third quarter of 2007. The remaining seven Capesize vessels are expected to be built, and subsequently delivered to Genco, between the fourth quarter of 2007 and the third quarter of 2009. Upon completion of the acquisition, Genco's fleet will consist of nine Capesize, seven Panamax, seven Handymax, and five Handysize drybulk carriers, with a total carrying capacity of approximately 2,559,000 dwt and an average age of 8 years. Four of the vessels to be acquired have existing time charters which are all below market value resulting in an intangible liability that will be amortized as an increase to revenue over the contract period. See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies under the sub-caption “Vessel acquisitions” for our policy on the accounting of acquiring a vessel with an existing time charter.

On July 31, 2007, the Company entered into the 5.115% Swap with a notional amount of $100,000, and has a fixed interest rate on the notional amount of 5.115% from November 30, 2007 through November 30, 2011.

2007 Credit Facility

On July 20, 2007, Genco executed the credit agreement and other definitive documentation for this new $1,377,000 credit facility, which the Company had previously announced in a press release on July 18, 2007. The 2007 Credit Facility is underwritten by DnB NOR Bank ASA, which is also Mandated Lead Arranger, Bookrunner, and Administrative Agent.

Under the 2007 Credit Facility, subject to the conditions set forth in the credit agreement, the Company may borrow an amount up to $1,377,000. Sixty percent of this amount became available upon the signing of the credit agreement. The balance of this amount will become available upon the earlier of secondary syndication of the credit facility or September 30, 2007. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the new credit facility may be reborrowed. The 2007 Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 20, 2017, or ten years from the signing date of the 2007 Credit Agreement.

Loans made under the 2007 Credit Facility may be used for the following:

·	up to 100% of the en bloc purchase price of $1,111,000 for nine modern drybulk Capesize vessels, which the Company plans to purchase from companies within the Metrostar Management Corporation group;

·	repayment of amounts outstanding under the Company’s 2005 Credit Facility, which currently totals $206,000;

·	the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Company’s Short-Term Line, which currently totals $77,000;

·	possible acquisitions of additional dry bulk carriers between 25,000 and 180,000 dwt that are up to ten years of age at the time of delivery and not more than 18 years of age at the time of maturity of the new credit facility;

·	up to $50,000 of working capital; and

·	the issuance of up to $50,000 of standby letters of credit.

All amounts owing under the 2007 Credit Facility will be secured by the following:

·	cross-collateralized first priority mortgages of each of the Company’s existing vessels and any new vessels financed with the new credit facility;

·	an assignment of any and all earnings of the mortgaged vessels;

·	an assignment of all insurances of the mortgaged vessels;

·	a first priority perfected security interest in all of the shares of Jinhui owned by the Company;

·	an assignment of the shipbuilding contracts and an assignment of the shipbuilder’s refund guarantees meeting the Administrative Agent’s criteria for any additional newbuildings financed under the new credit facility; and

·	a first priority pledge of the Company’s ownership interests in each subsidiary guarantor.

The Company has completed a pledge of its ownership interests in the subsidiary guarantors that own the nine Capesize vessels to be acquired. The other collateral described above must be pledged within thirty days of the effective date of the 2007 Credit Facility.

The Company’s borrowings under the 2007 Credit Facility will bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for an interest period elected by the Company of one, three, or six months, or longer if available, plus the Applicable Margin (which is 0.80% per annum for the first five years of the new credit facility and 0.85% thereafter). If the Company’s ratio of Total Debt to Total Capitalization (each as defined in the credit agreement for the 2007 Credit Facility) is less than 70%, the Applicable Margin decreases to 0.75% and 0.80%, respectively. In addition to other fees payable by the Company in connection with the 2007 Credit Facility, the Company will pay a commitment fee at a rate of 0.20% per annum of the daily average unutilized commitment of each lender under the facility until the earlier of secondary syndication or September 30, 2007, and 0.25% thereafter

The 2007 Credit Facility will be subject to ten consecutive semi-annual reductions of 7.0% of the total amount of credit granted under the new facility, with the first reduction occurring on the fifth anniversary of the signing date and a balloon payment reduction of 30% on the maturity date. In addition, subject to certain capital tests, the Company must pay up to $6,250 or such lesser amount as is available from Net Cash Flow (as defined in the credit agreement for the 2007 Credit Facility) each fiscal quarter to reduce borrowings under the new credit facility. The Company may prepay the 2007 Credit Facility, without penalty, with two days notice for LIBOR rate advances, in minimum amounts of $10 million together with accrued interest on the amount prepaid.

The 2007 Credit Facility includes the following financial covenants which will apply to the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and will be measured at the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with June 30, 2007:

The leverage covenant requires the maximum average net debt to EBITDA to be ratio of at least 5.5:1.0. This replaces the leverage covenant under the Company’s existing credit facilities, which required a ratio of maximum total indebtedness to total capitalization ratio of 0.7:1.0 before the fifth anniversary of the initial borrowing date and 0.6:1.0 thereafter.

·	Cash and cash equivalents must not be less than $500 per mortgaged vessel.

·	The ratio of EBITDA to interest expense, on a rolling last four-quarter basis, must be no less than 2.0:1.0.

·	After July 20, 2007, consolidated net worth must be no less than $263,300 plus 80% of the value of the any new equity issuances of the Company from June 30, 2007.

·	The aggregate fair market value of the mortgaged vessels must at all times be at least 130% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount under the new credit facility plus all letters of credit outstanding; the Company

has a 30 day remedy period to post additional collateral or reduce the amount of the revolving loans and/or letters of credit outstanding. Other covenants in the 2007 Credit Facility are substantially similar to the covenants in the Company’s two other existing credit facilities.

The Company can continue to pay cash dividends in accordance with its dividend policy and certain terms of the credit agreement so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing and that no event of default will occur as a result of the payment of such dividend. The 2007 Credit Facility also establishes a basket to accrue for dividends permitted but not actually distributed under the permitted dividend calculation since July 29, 2005. In addition to Genco’s regular quarterly dividend, Genco can pay up to $150,000 in dividends from this basket.

The foregoing description of the 2007 Credit Facility contained herein does not purport to be complete, and therefore the reader should refer to the Company’s report on 8-K filed on July 25, 2007 for more detailed information.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of potential future events, circumstances or future operating or financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and observations. Included among the factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this report are the following (i) changes in demand or rates in the drybulk shipping industry; (ii) changes in the supply of or demand for drybulk products, generally or in particular regions; (iii) changes in the supply of drybulk carriers including newbuilding of vessels or lower than anticipated scrapping of older vessels; (iv) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the cargo industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international organizations or by individual countries and actions taken by regulatory authorities; (v) increases in costs and expenses including but not limited to: crew wages, insurance, provisions, repairs, maintenance and general and administrative expenses; (vi) the adequacy of our insurance arrangements; (vii) changes in general domestic and international political conditions; (viii) changes in the condition of the Company’s vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking or maintenance and repair costs) and unanticipated drydock expenditures; (ix) the number of offhire time needed to complete repairs on vessels and the timing and amount of any reimbursement by our insurance carriers for insurance claims including offhire days; (x) our acquisition or disposition of vessels; (xi) the fulfillment of the closing conditions under the Company's agreement to acquire the nine drybulk vessels; and (xii) other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and our reports on Form 8-K. Our ability to pay dividends in any period will depend upon factors including the limitations under our loan agreements, applicable provisions of Marshall Islands law and the final determination by the Board of Directors each quarter after its review of our financial performance. The timing and amount of dividends, if any, could also be affected by factors affecting cash flows, results of operations, required capital expenditures, or reserves. As a result, the amount of dividends actually paid may vary.

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Form 10-Q.

General

We are a Marshall Islands company incorporated in September 2004 to transport iron ore, coal, grain, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. As of June 30, 2007, our fleet consisted of seven Panamax, seven Handymax and five Handysize drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 988,000 dwt, and the average age

of our fleet was approximately 9.3 years as of June 30, 2007, as compared to the average age for the world fleet of approximately 15.6 years for the drybulk shipping segments in which we compete. All of the vessels in our fleet are on time charters to reputable charterers, including Lauritzen Bulkers, Cargill, HMMC, BHP, A/S Klaveness, Cosco Bulk Carrier Co., Ltd., and NYK Europe. All of the vessels in our fleet are presently engaged under time charter contracts that expire (assuming the option periods in the time charters are not exercised) between September 2007 and August 2009. Upon completion of the acquisition of the nine Capesize vessels, Genco's fleet will consist of nine Capesize, seven Panamax, seven Handymax, and five Handysize drybulk carriers, with a total carrying capacity of approximately 2,559,000 dwt.

Each vessel in our fleet was delivered to us or is expected to be delivered to us on the date specified in the following chart:

We intend to grow our fleet through timely and selective acquisitions of vessels in a manner that is accretive to our cash flow. In connection with this growth strategy, we negotiated the 2007 Credit Facility, which has been used to refinance the outstanding indebtedness under our previous credit facility. See Note 19 in our financial statements for a description of the 2007 Credit Facility that refinances our other two existing credit facilities.

Our management team and our other employees are responsible for the commercial and strategic management of our fleet. Commercial management includes the negotiation of charters for vessels, managing the mix of various types of charters, such as time charters and voyage charters, and monitoring the performance of our vessels under their charters. Strategic management includes locating, purchasing, financing and selling vessels. We

currently contract with three independent technical managers to provide technical management of our fleet at a lower cost than we believe would be possible in-house. Technical management involves the day-to-day management of vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. Members of our New York City-based management team oversee the activities of our independent technical managers.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe that the following table reflects important measures for analyzing trends in our results of operations. The table reflects our ownership days, available days, operating days, fleet utilization, TCE rates and daily vessel operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Because predominantly all of our vessels have operated on time charters, our TCE rates equal our time charter rates less voyage expenses consisting primarily of brokerage commissions paid by us to third parties.

Definitions

In order to understand our discussion of our results of operations, it is important to understand the meaning of the following terms used in our analysis and the factors that influence our results of operations.

(1) Ownership days. We define ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during a period.

(2) Available days. We define available days as the number of our ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and the aggregate amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels. Companies in the shipping industry generally use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

(3) Operating days. We define operating days as the number of our available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

(4) Fleet utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning.

(5) TCE rates. We define TCE rates as net voyage revenue (voyage revenues less voyage expenses) divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings genera
