Revenues

Revenues from drilling contracts increased by $190.5 million, or 80.8%, to $426.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $236.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the operation of the Ocean Rig Mykonos and the Ocean Rig Poseidon that commenced drilling activities during third quarter of 2011, which contributed $155.8 million in aggregate revenues during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. Further, the Ocean Rig Olympia and the Ocean Rig Corcovado, which commenced drilling activities during the first and second quarters of 2011, respectively, contributed an aggregate of $126.5 million in revenues during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $45.3 million in aggregate revenues during the same period in 2011, which is offset by decreased revenues amounting to an aggregate of $46.4 million for the Leiv Eiriksson and the Eirik Raude, due to lower rates and utilization during 2012. The maximum day rates for the contracts on which our drilling units were employed during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 ranged between approximately $449,000 and $648,000 per day. The maximum day rates for the contracts on which our drilling units were employed during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 ranged between approximately $415,000 and $665,000 per day. Revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 also include $24.6 million for loss of hire insurance recovery related to Ocean Rig Corcovado.

 
 

 
 
Operating expenses

Drilling rigs and drillships operating expenses increased by $126.3 million, or 121.2%, to $230.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $104.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase in operating expenses was mainly due to the commencement of drilling operations of the Ocean Rig Mykonos and the Ocean Rig Poseidon, resulting in operating expenses of $64.4 million in total. In addition, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, the operating expenses relating to the Leiv Eiriksson, the  Eirik Raude and the Ocean Rig Corcovado increased by $31.7 million,  mainly due to a more extensive maintenance program and upgrades performed during the six month period ended June 30, 2012. Furthermore, operating expenses related to  the Ocean Rig Olympia increased by $24.2 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 due to the fact that the drillship was fully operational during such period as compared to the same period in 2011, when the drillship was operating for less than a quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense for the drilling units increased by $46.6 million, or 71.8%, to $111.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $64.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase in depreciation and amortization was mainly attributable to the $35.6 million of depreciation related to the depreciation of the Ocean Rig Poseidon and the Ocean Rig Mykonos, which were delivered during the third quarter of 2011. In addition, the Ocean Rig Olympia contributed $8.9 million more depreciation in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011, due to ownership of the drillship for the entire six-month period in 2012.

Loss /(Gain) on disposals

Gain on asset sales amounted to $0.04 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, while for the relevant period in 2011, there was a loss on sale of assets amounting to $0.09 million, related to disposal of office equipment.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $16.7 million, or 95.8%, to $34.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $17.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. This increase is mainly due to increased costs related to the management of six drilling units during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to four drilling units during the corresponding six-month period ended June 30, 2011, as well as expenses related to the operation of the Company's office in Brazil that commenced operations in late 2011.

Legal Settlements

The amount of $6.4 million in legal settlements is mainly related to a claim settlement related to import/export taxes duties in Angola that was settled during the second quarter of 2012. No such charges were incurred during the relevant period in 2011.

Interest and finance costs

Interest and finance costs increased by $40.7 million, or 183.4%, to $63.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $22.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase is mainly associated with higher level of debt during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to the corresponding period of 2011.

Interest income

Interest income decreased by $10.1 million, or 96.9%, to $0.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $10.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was mainly due to lower interest rates on our deposits during 2012 as compared to 2011.

Loss on interest rate swaps

The Company recorded a loss related to interest rate swaps of $10.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $18.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 was mainly due to mark to market losses of outstanding swap positions as swap rates trended downwards.

 
 

 

Other, net

Other, net increased by $0.7 million, or 52.6% to a gain of $1.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to a gain of $1.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. The increase is mainly due to gains arising from foreign currency exchange rate differences.

Income taxes

Income taxes increased by $11.9 million, or 121.2%, to $21.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $9.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. Since our drilling units operate around the world, they may become subject to taxation in many different jurisdictions. The basis for such taxation depends on the relevant regulation in the countries in which we operate. Consequently, there is no expected relationship between the income tax expense or benefit for the period and the income or loss before taxes.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2012, we had $191.2 million and $173.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, respectively, related mainly to: (i) bank deposits which are blocked or pledged as cash collateral; and (ii) required minimum cash and cash equivalents or "minimum liquidity" clauses.

Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $59.7 million, or 23.8%, to $191.2 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to $250.9 million as of December 31, 2011, and our restricted cash decreased by $8.9 million, or 4.9%, to $173.2 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to $182.1 million as of December 31, 2011.  The decrease in our cash and cash equivalents relates mainly to net cash from operating activities of $115.8 million and the decrease in restricted cash, which is offset mainly by loan repayments amounting to $95.8 million, drillships' equipment and other improvements amounting to $61.7 million and advances for rigs under construction and other investments amounting to $25.5 million. Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities (including the current portion of long-term debt). Our working capital deficit amounted to $7.0 million as of June 30, 2012, compared to a working capital surplus of $68.9 million as of December 31, 2011.  We believe that we will be able to satisfy our liquidity needs for the next 12 months with the cash we generate from our operations and, if required, proceeds from future debt or equity issuances.

As of June 30, 2012, we had total indebtedness of $2.6 billion under our senior secured credit facilities and senior notes, excluding unamortized financing fees.  Please refer to the discussion on Long-term Debt as detailed in Note 9 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report Form 20-F (File No. 001-35298) for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Commission on March 14, 2012.

As of June 30, 2012, we had $1.1 billion of remaining installment payments under our drillship newbuilding contracts relating to our three newbuilding drillships. We have not obtained financing for these three contracted drillships. We plan to finance these capital expenditures with new debt or equity financing.

Cash flow

Net cash used in operating activities was $115.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, net loss was adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items including $122.7 million of depreciation and amortization. Moreover, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, net income was also adjusted for the effects of non-cash items, such as the gain in the change in fair value of derivatives of $7.9 million and amortization of discontinued cash flow hedges of $6.5 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $93.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

Net cash used in investing activities was $78.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $850.8 million used in for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. We made shipyard payments and expenditures related to the acquisition of drillships of approximately $25.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $1,187.7 million in the corresponding period of 2011. The decrease in restricted cash was $8.9 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to a decrease of $346.9 million in the corresponding period of 2011.

Net cash used in financing activities was $97.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, mainly consisting of repayments of credit facilities and financing costs. This compares to net cash provided by financing activities of $853.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, mainly consisting of $1,713.5 million of proceeds from long term credit facilities, which was partly offset by repayments of credit facilities amounting to an aggregate of $829.2 million.

 
 

 
 
Financing activities

Long-term debt

As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants in its credit facilities.

As of June 30, 2012, we had a total of $2.6 billion in debt outstanding (net of financing fees) under our credit facilities with various institutions.

Ocean Rig has three defined benefit plans for its employees managed and funded through Norwegian life insurance companies at June 30, 2012. The pension plans covered 50 employees as of June 30, 2012. Pension liabilities and pension costs are calculated based on the actuarial cost method as determined by an independent third party actuary.

(3)
Ocean Rig entered into two three year office lease agreements with an unrelated party, which commenced on September 1, 2011 and October 1, 2011. These leases include an option for an additional two- and three-year term, which must be exercised at least six months prior to the end of the term of the contracts which expire in September 2014 and October 2014, respectively. Ocean Rig also entered into a three-year office lease with a third party in Nicosia, Cyprus, which commenced on September 1, 2010 and expires in 2014. The lease agreements relating to office space are considered to be operational lease contracts.

Recent developments
·
On August 7, 2012, we entered into an amortizing interest rate swap agreement for an initial notional amount of $450 million maturing in July 2017. This agreement was entered into to hedge the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations by fixing the interest rate at 1.0425% from July 2013 until July 2017.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical or present facts or conditions.

We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this cautionary statement in connection therewith. This document and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," and "expect" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these important factors and matters discussed elsewhere in this document, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include factors related to:

 
·
future operating or financial results;
 
·
the offshore drilling market, including supply and demand, utilization rates, dayrates, customer drilling programs, commodity prices, effects of new rigs on the market and effects of declines in commodity prices and downturn in global economy on market outlook for our various geographical operating sectors and classes of rigs;
 
·
hazards inherent in the drilling industry and marine operations causing personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage, claims by third parties or customers and suspension of operations;
 
·
customer contracts, including contract backlog, contract commencements, contract terminations, contract option exercises, contract revenues, contract awards and rig mobilizations, newbuildings, upgrades, shipyard and other capital projects, including completion, delivery and commencement of operations dates, expected downtime and lost revenue;
 
·
political and other uncertainties, including political unrest, risks of terrorist acts, war and civil disturbances, piracy, significant governmental influence over many aspects of local economies, seizure, nationalization or expropriation of property or equipment;
 
·
repudiation, nullification, modification or renegotiation of contracts;
 
·
limitations on insurance coverage, such as war risk coverage, in certain areas;
 
·
foreign and U.S. monetary policy and foreign currency fluctuations and devaluations;
 
·
the inability to repatriate income or capital;
 
·
complications associated with repairing and replacing equipment in remote locations;
 
·
import-export quotas, wage and price controls imposition of trade barriers; regulatory or financial requirements to comply with foreign bureaucratic actions;
 
·
changing taxation policies and other forms of government regulation and economic conditions that are beyond our control;
 
·
the level of expected capital expenditures and the timing and cost of completion of capital projects;
 
·
our ability to successfully employ our drilling units, procure or have access to financing, ability to comply with loan covenants, liquidity and adequacy of cash flow for our obligations;
 
·
factors affecting our results of operations and cash flow from operations, including revenues and expenses, uses of excess cash, including debt retirement, timing and proceeds of asset sales, tax matters, changes in tax laws, treaties and regulations, tax assessments and liabilities for tax issues, legal and regulatory matters, including results and effects of legal proceedings, customs and environmental matters, insurance matters, debt levels, including impacts of the financial and credit crisis;

OCEAN RIG UDW INC.
Notes to unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2012
(Expressed in thousands of United States Dollars – except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1.       Basis of Presentation and General Information:

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ocean Rig UDW Inc and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company," "Ocean Rig" or "Group"). Ocean Rig was formed under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on December 10, 2007, under the name Primelead Shareholders Inc. The Company is controlled by DryShips Inc. ("DryShips"), a publicly company listed on the NASDAQ exchange listed under the symbol "DRYS".

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 from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("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, 2011, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2012.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation including: a) the reclassification of part of deferred mobilization expenses and deferred revenue from current assets and current liabilities, respectively, to non-current assets and non-current liabilities and b) the reclassification of foreign exchange gains/losses in the Statement of operations from "General and administrative expenses" to "Other, net".

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company's annual consolidated 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.


2.       Significant Accounting policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

A discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2012 (the "Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2011"). There have been no material changes to these policies in the six-month period ended June 30, 2012.

3.       Working capital:

At June 30, 2012, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $7,011. However, cash expected to be generated from operations assuming that current market drilling rates would prevail in the twelve months ending June 30, 2013 will be sufficient to cover the Company's ongoing working capital requirements.

4.       Transactions with Related Parties:

Global Services Agreement: On December 1, 2010, DryShips entered into a Global Services Agreement with Cardiff Marine Inc. ("Cardiff"), effective December 21, 2010, pursuant to which the Company has engaged Cardiff to act as consultant on matters of chartering and sale and purchase transactions for the offshore drilling units operated by the Company. Under the Global Services Agreement, Cardiff, or its subcontractor, (i) provides consulting services related to identifying, sourcing, negotiating and arranging new employment for offshore assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's drilling units; and (ii) identifies, sources, negotiates and arranges the sale or purchase of the offshore assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company's drilling units. In consideration of such services, DryShips pays Cardiff a fee of 1.0% in connection with employment arrangements and 0.75% in connection with sale and purchase activities. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred costs of $2,815 and $5,694, respectively, as fees related to the Global Services Agreement, of which $2,815 and $801, respectively, were related to employment arrangements and $0 and $4,893 were related to sale and purchase activities. The Company does not pay for services provided in accordance with this agreement since equal equity contributions are made by its parent company DryShips. Costs from the Global Services Agreement are expensed in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations or capitalized as a component of "Advances for rigs and drillships under construction", as applicable and as a shareholders contribution to capital.

Vivid Finance Limited: Under the consultancy agreement effective from September 1, 2010, between DryShips and Vivid Finance Limited ("Vivid"), a related party entity incorporated in Cyprus, Vivid provides the Company and its parent, DryShips, with financing-related services such as (i) negotiating and arranging new loans and credit facilities, interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency contracts and forward exchange contracts; (ii) renegotiating existing loan facilities and other debt instruments; and (iii) the raising of equity or debt in the capital markets. In exchange for its services, Vivid is entitled to a fee equal to 0.20% on the total transaction amount. The consultancy agreement has a term of five years and may be terminated (i) at the end of its term unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties; (ii) at any time by the mutual agreement of the parties; and (iii) by DryShips after providing written notice to Vivid at least 30 days prior to the actual termination date. The Company does not pay for services provided in accordance with this agreement; DryShips pays for the services. Accordingly, these expenses are recorded in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and as a shareholders contribution to capital. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, total charges from Vivid were $5,802 and $4,240, respectively and were recorded in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed statements of operations and as a shareholders' contribution to capital.

9.       Long-term Debt-continued:

The Senior Notes are not guaranteed by any of the Company's subsidiaries. The Company may redeem some or all of the notes as follows: (i) at any time and from time to time from April 27, 2014 to April 26, 2015, at a redemption price equal to 104.5% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; or (ii) at any time and from time to time from April 27, 2015, at a redemption price equal to 102.5% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The total interest expense and debt amortization cost related to the notes in the Company's unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, was $24,595 and $8,312, respectively.

Term bank loans/ Credit facilities
 
On May 9, 2012, the Company signed an amendment under its $800,000 secured term loan agreement with Nordea Finland Plc. to, among other things, terminate the guarantee by DryShips and remove the related covenants and cross-acceleration provisions relating to DryShips's indebtedness for its drybulk carrier and tanker fleet and the Company's indebtedness under its other credit facilities. As a result of the amendment, a default by DryShips under one of its loan agreements for its drybulk carrier and tanker fleet or a default by the Company under one of its other credit facilities and the acceleration of the related debt will no longer result in a cross-default under the Company's $800,000 secured term loan agreement that would provide the Company's lenders with the right to accelerate the outstanding debt under the loan agreement. In addition, under the terms of the loan agreement, as amended, (i) the Company is permitted to buy back its own common shares; (ii) Drillships Holdings Inc. is able to pay dividends to Ocean Rig UDW Inc. as its shareholder; and (iii) the Company is permitted to pay dividends, make distributions and effect redemptions or returns of share capital in an amount of up to 50% of net income, provided it maintains minimum liquidity in an aggregate amount of not less than $200,000 in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and provide evidence to the lenders through cash flow forecasts that Ocean Rig will maintain such level for the next 12 months following the date of the dividend, distribution or redemption or return of share capital. The amendment also provides for a reduction in the amount of minimum free cash required to be maintained by Drillships Holdings Inc. from $75,000 to $50,000. Under the original agreement, the Company is also required to maintain minimum free cash of $100,000.

On May 14, 2012, the Company signed amendments to its two $495,000 credit facilities with Deutsche Bank Luxembourg SA as agent (the "Deutsche Bank Credit Facilities") to, among other things, remove the payment guarantee of DryShips, subject to reinstatement as discussed below and remove the financial covenants for DryShips and the cross-default provision relating to DryShips' outstanding indebtedness for its drybulk carrier and tanker fleet. As a result of the amendments, a default by DryShips under one of its loan agreements for its drybulk carrier and tanker fleet will no longer result in a cross-default under the Deutsche Bank Credit Facilities that would provide the lenders thereunder with the right to accelerate the Company's outstanding debt. In addition, the amendments removed the automatic prepayment mechanism under the facilities. The Company is also required to increase its debt service reserve account by $57,000 beginning September 2014. Furthermore, under the amended Deutsche Bank Credit Facilities, the Company is permitted to pay dividends, make distributions and effect redemptions or returns of share capital in an amount of up to 50% of net income, provided it maintains minimum liquidity in an aggregate amount of not less than $200,000 in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and provides evidence to the lenders through cash flow forecasts that it will maintain such level for the next 12 months following the date of the dividend, distribution or redemption or return of share capital. Under the terms of the amended Deutsche Bank Credit Facilities, in the event of a breach by the Company of the financial covenants contained in the guarantees, the unconditional and irrevocable payment guarantees of DryShips will be reinstated; pursuant to which DryShips will be obligated to pay, upon demand by the lenders, any amount outstanding under the loans upon a failure by the Company to pay such amount. In addition, DryShips will be required to indemnify the lenders in respect of any losses they incur in respect of any amounts due under the loans that are not recoverable from DryShips under the guarantees and that the Company fails to pay. The amount payable by DryShips under the guarantees will be limited to $214,000 with respect to the facility for the Ocean Rig Poseidon and $225,000 with respect to the facility for the Ocean Rig Mykonos, in each case plus any other amounts that become payable in connection with the payment of such amount. The guarantees do not include any financial covenants applicable to DryShips or cross-default provisions in relation to DryShips' indebtedness for its drybulk carrier and tanker fleet.

9.       Long-term Debt-continued:
 
On May 18, 2012, the Company signed an amendment under its $1,040,000 credit facility with DNB Bank ASA as agent, to amend the facility to among other things, remove the cross-acceleration clause relating to DryShips' indebtedness for its drybulk carrier and tanker fleet. As a result of the amendment, a default by DryShips under one of its loan agreements for its drybulk carrier and tanker fleet and the acceleration of the related debt will not result in a cross-default under the $1,040,000 credit facility that would provide the lenders with the right to accelerate the outstanding debt under the facility. Under the terms of the facility, as amended, the cross acceleration relating to the DryShips' outstanding indebtedness for its drybulk carrier and tanker fleet. is replaced with a cross acceleration relating to the outstanding indebtedness of Ocean Rig UDW Inc., which now provides a guarantee under the facility. Furthermore, under the amended credit facility, Drill Rigs Holdings Inc. is restricted from paying or declaring a dividend without the prior written consent of the lenders if the employment contract for the Leiv Eiriksson with the consortium coordinated by Rig Management Norway has expired or been terminated, cancelled or rescinded until it has been replaced to the satisfaction of the majority of the lenders.

The Company's weighted average interest rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, were 4.73% and 4.62%, respectively.

The Company's outstanding bank loans are secured by first priority mortgages over the Company's drilling units, corporate guarantees, and first assignments of all freights, earnings, insurances and requisition compensation. The loans contain covenants including restrictions, without the bank's prior consent, as to the payment of dividends, changes in management and ownership of the drilling units, additional indebtedness and mortgaging of drilling units and change in the general nature of the Company's business.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in its credit facilities.
 
Total interest cost and amortization of debt issuance costs incurred on long-term debt (including the Senior Notes discussed above) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, amounted to $48,269 and $80,747, respectively, of which $30,939 and $19,614, respectively, were capitalized as part of the cost of the drillships under construction. Total interest incurred and amortization of debt issuance cost on long-term debt, net of capitalized interest, are included in "Interest and finance costs" in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The annual principal payments required to be made after June 30, 2012, including balloon payments, totaling $2,683,333 due through December 2020, are as follows:

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2012, the losses transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the statement of operations were $3,479 and $7,061, respectively. The estimated net amount of existing losses at June 30, 2012, that will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months relating to previously designated cash flow hedges is $14,122.

ASC 815, 'Derivatives and Hedging' requires companies to recognize all derivatives instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company removed the designation of the cash flow hedges and discontinued hedge accounting for the associated interest rate swaps.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that have not been designated as hedging instruments are reported in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company enters into interest rate swap transactions to manage interest costs and risk associated with changing interest rates with respect to its variable interest rate loans and credit facilities.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate their respective fair values because of the short term nature of these accounts. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for the floating rate loans. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on market-based LIBOR swap yield curves, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of both the financial instrument counterparty and the Company.

10.     Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements-(continued):

The Senior Notes have a fixed rate and their estimated fair values are determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy (quoted price in the over-the counter-market). The fair value of the outstanding balance of the Deutsche Bank credit facilities which have a fixed rate, is estimated through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the above Senior Notes and loans at June 30, 2012, is approximately $485,000 and $542,650, respectively compared to a carrying value net of finance fees of $490,677 and $477,688, respectively.

The guidance for fair value measurements applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This guidance 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 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 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the valuation date.

13.     Income Tax
 
Ocean Rig operates through its various subsidiaries in a number of countries throughout the world. Income taxes have been provided based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which operations are conducted and income is earned. The countries in which Ocean Rig operates have taxation regimes with varying nominal rates or no system of corporate taxation, as well different deductions, credits and other tax attributes. Consequently, there is not an expected relationship between the provision for/or benefit from income taxes and income or loss before income taxes.
 
14.     Commitments and Contingencies

14.1   Legal proceedings
 
Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the offshore drilling business.

The Company has obtained insurance for the assessed market value of the rigs. However, such insurance coverage may not provide sufficient funds to protect the Company from all liabilities that could result from its operations in all situations. Risks against which the Company may not be fully insured or insurable for include environmental liabilities, which may result from a blow-out or similar accident, or liabilities resulting from reservoir damage alleged to have been caused by the negligence of the Company.

The Company's loss of hire insurance coverage does not protect against loss of income from day one, but will be effective after 45 days' off-hire. The occurrence of casualty or loss, against which the Company is not fully insured, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
 
The insurance covers approximately one year for the loss of hire. In the first half of 2012, the Ocean Rig Corcovado incurred off-hire which was a covered event under the Company's loss of hire policy that resulted in $24.6 million being recognized as revenue during the six month period ended June 30, 2012.

As part of the Company's normal course of operations, the Company's customer may disagree on amounts due to the Company under the provision of the contracts which are normally settled through negotiations with the customer. Disputed amounts are normally reflected in revenues at such time as the Company reaches agreement with the customer on the amounts due.

14.     Commitments and Contingencies- (continued):

14.1   Legal proceedings- (continued):

The Leiv Eiriksson operated in Angola during the period from 2002 to 2007. Ocean Rig's manager in Angola during this period made a legal claim for reimbursement of import/export duties for two export/importation events in the period 2002 to 2007 retroactively levied by the Angolan government. Agreement was reached between the parties to this claim for an amount of $6.1 million which was paid by the Company's relevant subsidiary on May 24, 2012, to the claimant, in full and final settlement of the London Court Proceedings. The Company recorded a charge of $6.1 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, which is included under "Legal settlements" in the consolidated statement of operations.

Except for the matters discussed above, the Company is not a party to any material litigation where claims or counterclaims have been filed against the Company other than routine legal proceedings incidental to its business.

14.2
Contractual revenue

Future minimum contractual revenue, based on rigs committed to non-cancelable, long-term contracts as of June 30, 2012, amounted to $1,019,670 for twelve months ending June 30, 2013, $737,057 for twelve months ending June 30, 2014, $670,175 for twelve months ending June 30, 2015 and $124,963 for twelve months ending June 30, 2016. These amounts do not include any assumed off-hire.

14.4   Rental payments
 
Ocean Rig entered into two three-year office lease agreements with an unrelated third party which commenced on September 1, 2011 and October 1, 2011, respectively. These leases include an option for an additional two and three-year term, respectively, which must be exercised at least six months prior to the end of the term of the contract which expires in September 2014 and October 2014, respectively. Ocean Rig also entered into a three-year office lease with a third party in Nicosia, Cyprus which commenced on September 1, 2010 and expires in 2014. The lease agreements relating to office space are considered to be operating lease contracts. As of June 30, 2012, the future obligations amount to $1,232 for the twelve months ending June 30, 2013, and 2014, and $272 for the twelve months ending June 30, 2015. The contracts expire in 2014.
