CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation ReformAct 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 facts.

The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This report 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. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect,""intend," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this report 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 our records and other data available from third parties. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these assumptions and matters discussed elsewhere herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the following:

·
our ability to maintain or develop new and existing customer relationships with major refined product importers and exporters, major crude oil companies and major commodity traders, including our ability to enter into long-term charters for our vessels;

·
our future operating and financial results;

·
oil and chemical tanker industry trends, including charter rates and vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand;

·
our ability to integrate into our fleet any newbuildings we may order in the future and the ability of shipyards to deliver vessels on a timely basis;

·
the aging of our vessels and resultant increases in operation and drydocking costs;

·
the ability of our vessels to pass classification inspections and vetting inspections by oil majors and big chemical corporations;

·
significant changes in vessel performance, including increased vessel breakdowns;

·
the creditworthiness of our charterers and the ability of our contract counterparties to fulfill their obligations to us;

·
our ability to repay outstanding indebtedness, to obtain additional financing and to obtain replacement charters for our vessels, in each case, at commercially acceptable rates or at all;

·
changes to governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities and the expected costs thereof;
2



·
potential liability from litigation and our vessel operations, including discharge of pollutants;

·
changes in general economic and business conditions;

·
general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents,political events or acts by terrorists;

·
changes in production of or demand for oil and petroleum products and chemicals, either globally or in particular regions;

·
the strength of world economies and currencies, including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel values; and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by us with the U.S. Securities and ExchangeCommission.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OFFINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSFOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2018

The following management's discussion and analysis is intended to discuss our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, and should be read in conjunction with our historical unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this filing. For additional background information please see our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and ExchangeCommission, or the Commission, on March 29, 2018.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those set forth in the section "Risk Factors" included in the Company'sAnnual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Commission, on March 29, 2018.

Overview

We are an international owner and operator of modern, fuel efficient eco medium range, or MR, tanker vessels focusing on the transportation of crude oil, petroleum products (clean and dirty) and bulk liquid chemicals. As of June 30, 2018, our fleet consists of two bareboat chartered-in 50,000 dwt product/chemical tankers vessels, the M/T Stenaweco Energy and the M/T Stenaweco Evolution, two 39,000 dwt product/chemical tankers vessels, the M/T Eco Fleet and the M/T Eco Revolution, three 50,000 dwt product/chemical tankers, the M/T Stenaweco Excellence, the M/T Nord Valiant and the M/T Stenaweco Elegance.We also own 50% interests in two 50,000 dwt product/chemical tankers.
Finally we own five newbuilding vessels as per the below table:

We intend to continue to review the market in order to identify potential acquisition targets on accretive terms.
We believe we have established a reputation in the international ocean transport industry for operating and maintaining vessels with high standards of performance, reliability and safety. We have assembled a management team comprised of executives who have extensive experience operating large and diversified fleets of tankers and who have strong ties to a number of national, regional and international oil companies, charterers and traders.

Non-US GAAP Measures

This report describes adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), which is not a measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP (i.e., a "Non-US GAAP" measure). We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, vessel bareboat charter hire expenses (including amortization of prepaid hire), vessel impairments, and gains/losses on derivative financial instruments.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure that is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and external users of financial statements, such as investors, to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that this non-U.S. GAAP financial measure assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. This is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of interest, gain/loss on financial instruments, taxes, depreciation and amortization, vessel bareboat charter hire expenses (including amortization of prepaid hire and vessel impairments,) and which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect results of operations between periods.
This Non-U.S. GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as reported by other companies in the shipping industry or other industries. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or cash flow from operations, as determined by U.S. GAAP.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018,management fees to related parties increased by $1.1 million, or 36%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.This increase was mainly due to an increase of $1.0 million in the cash performance fee we granted to Central Shipping Monaco SAM ("CSM"), a related party affiliated with the family of Mr. Evangelos J. Pistiolis, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director and a $0.1 million increase in accounting and reporting fees charged by CSM.

2.          General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses include executive compensation paid to Central Mare for the provision of our executive officers and a number of administrative staff, office rent, legal and auditing costs, regulatory compliance costs, other miscellaneous office expenses, non-cash stock compensation, and corporate overhead. Central Mare provides the services of the individuals who serve as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Technical Officer, and other administrative employees. For further information, please see our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2017, "Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions - B.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018,our general and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 24%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase is mainly attributed to an increase in bonuses of $0.7 million and an increase of$0.3 million in legal and consulting fees and expenses. These increases were offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in other general and administrative expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018,interest and finance costs decreased by $4.1 million, or 55%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.This decrease is mainly attributed to:

a)
A decrease of $3.6 million in amortization of debt discount as in the six months ended June 30, 2017 we amortized $3.7 million of debt discount relating to the convertibility features of the Series C convertible preferred shares, absent in the same period of 2018, in which we only amortized $0.1 million of debt discount relating to the convertibility features of the Family Trading facility(please see the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 – "Note 7 -Debt" included elsewhere in this document).
b)
A decrease of $0.2 million in loan interest expense, mainly due to capitalization of imputed interest of our current vessels under construction.
c)
A decrease of $0.2 million in amortization of finance fees mainly due to the fact that in the six months ended June 30, 2017 we accelerated the amortization of arrangement fees of two of our short term notes due to their prepayment ($0.4 million) absent in the same period of 2018, offset by an increase of $0.2 million in amortization of finance fees of the Amsterdam Trade Bank pre-delivery facility in the six months ended June 30, 2018, absent in the same period of 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018,fair value gain on derivative financial instruments decreased by $0.9 million, or 88%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017,mainly due to the losses we recognized from the valuation of our outstanding warrants issued in connection with our follow-on offering that closed on June 11, 2014, when compared to the gains of the same that we recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2017 (the difference being $2.8 million). These losses were offset by a $1.7 million increase in the gains from the valuation of our interest rate swaps and a $0.2million decrease in realized losses on our interest rate swaps.

Recent Developments
On July 11, 2018, we entered into a credit facility with Alpha Bank for $10.1 million for the pre-delivery financing of M/T Eco Marina Del Ray. This facility can be drawn down in five tranches to finance in full the last five pre-delivery instalments of M/T Eco Marina Del Ray due for payment between July 2018 and February 2019 and is payable at the delivery of the vessel in March 2019.The facility contains restrictions on the subsidiary that owns the newbuilding contract from incurring further indebtedness or guarantees and from paying any dividends if the latter would result in an event of default.The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 4.25% and a commitment fee of 1% per annum is payable quarterly in arrears over the committed and undrawn portion of the facility, starting from the date of signing the commitment letter. We drew down $1.7 million under the facility in July 2018, to finance one shipyard installment of M/T Eco Marina Del Ray.

On July 23, 2018, we terminated the Equity distribution agreement we entered into on May 25, 2018.
On September 7, 2018 we took delivery of M/T Eco Palm Desert, a 50,000 dwt newbuilding product/chemical tanker constructed at the Hyundai Mipo Vinashin shipyard.
On September 11, 2018 we obtained non-binding credit committee approval from a major Chinese leasing company for up to $92.5 million via sale and leaseback agreements (the "Financing Agreements") for our Suezmax newbuilding vessels with hull numbers 874 and 875, currently under construction at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in South Korea. We are currently negotiating the final terms of the Financing Agreements. Under the proposed terms of the Financing Agreements, the vessels will be sold when they are delivered from the shipyard, which is currently planned for April and May of 2019, respectively. The proposed Financing Agreements include pre and post-delivery financing and have a term of seven years. We have continuous options to buy back the vessels after the three year anniversary of each vessel's delivery up until the expiry of the Financing Agreements.
On September 26, 2018 and on October 5, 2018 we received two additional subpoenas from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting certain documents and information in connection with the previous subpoena we received on August 1, 2017. We are providing the requested information to the SEC in response to that subpoena. The SEC investigation is ongoing and we continue to cooperate with the SEC in its investigation.
On September 27, 2018, we and Family Trading adopted an amended and restated version of the Amended Family Trading Credit Facility (the "Amended and Restated Family Trading Credit Facility") in order to, among other things, set the repayment date of the facility to December 31, 2019, increase the maximum borrowing capacity of the facility to $20 million, increase the interest rate to 12%, reduce the commitment fee to 2% and increase the arrangement fee to 5%.
B.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our formation, our principal source of funds have been equity provided by our shareholders through equity offerings or at the market sales, operating cash flow, long-term borrowing and, related party short-term borrowings. Our principal use of funds has been capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations and fund working capital requirements.

8



Our business is capital intensive and its future success will depend on our ability to maintain a high-quality fleet through the acquisition of newer vessels and the selective sale of older vessels. Our practice has been to acquire vessels using a combination of funds received from equity investors and bank debt secured by mortgages on our vessels.  Future acquisitions are subject to management's expectation of future market conditions, our ability to acquire vessels on favorable terms and our liquidity and capital resources.
As of June 30, 2018, we had a total indebtedness of $105.9million, which after excluding unamortized financing fees and debt discounts amounts to $112.6million.
As of June 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalent balances amounted to $7.3 million, held in U.S. Dollar accounts, $6.7 million of which are classified as restricted cash.
Working Capital Requirements and Sources of Capital
As of June 30, 2018, we had a working capital deficit (current assets less current liabilities) of $30.2 million, commitments for operating leases of $6.3 million and commitments for capital expenditures amounting to $46.3 million payable in 2018 and $143.1 million payable by June 30, 2019.
Our operating cash flow for the remainder of 2018 is expected to increase compared to the same period in 2017, as we expect to generate more revenue from employing M/T Eco Palm Desert, due to be delivered from the shipyard in September 2018.
We expect to finance our capital requirements, commitments under operating leases and working capital deficit through the following:
As of June 30, 2018, we had available committed financing of $61.9 million, which increased to $72.1 million in July 2018 when we entered into a senior facility with Alpha Bank for $10.1 million and further increased to $80.5 million in September 2018 when we entered into an amendment of the Amended Family Trading Credit Facility. Out of these $80.5 million, $18.6 million refer to pre-delivery facilities and have to be repaid in the first quarter of 2019. We expect to finance our unfinanced capital commitments with cash on hand, operational cash flow, debt or equity issuances, or a combination thereof and other sources such as funds from the our controlling shareholder and CEO, Mr. Pistiolis, if required. If we are unable to arrange debt or equity financing for our newbuilding vessels, we will sell one or more of our vessels or newbuilding contracts.
Cash Flow Information
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $1.6 million and $0.6 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2018 respectively.
Net Cash from Operating Activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.8 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to a net inflow of $0.6 million, compared to a net outflow of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Net Cash from Investing Activities.
Net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $25.6 million, consisting of $20.6 million cash paid for advances for vessels under construction, $1.2 million for the purchase of 10% of M/T Stenaweco Elegance and$3.8 million cash paid for investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Net Cash from Financing Activities.
Net cash provided from financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.7 million, consisting of $11.8 million of proceeds from short term notes, $9.2 million from the pre-delivery facilities we entered into with Amsterdam Trade Bank,$5.3 million of proceeds from related party debt (Family Trading Facility) and $2.5 million of proceeds from equity offerings.
These inflows were partially offset by $21.4million consideration paid in excess of purchase price over book value of vessels acquired, $5.0 million of scheduled debt repayments,$0.6million payments of financing costs and $0.1 million of equity offering related costs.

2.          Significant Accounting Policies:

A discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in the Company's annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 which have been filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 20-F on March29, 2018. There have been no changes to these policies in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company adopted the following Accounting Standard Updates ("ASU"):

ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued the ASU No 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09, as amended, outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The Company elected to use the modified retrospective transition method for the implementation of this standard. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial statements since the Company's revenues are generated from long term charters which are subject to ASU 2016-02.

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires that lessees recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months in the statement of financial position and also requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has preliminarily evaluated the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements on a modified retrospective basis, and currently expects that all of its operating lease commitments relating to bareboat chartered-in vessels will be subject to the new standard and will be recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon its adoption, which will increase the Company's total assets and total liabilities that the Company reports relative to such amounts prior to adoption. As of June 30, 2018, the contractual obligations for the Company's bareboat chartered-in vessels were $23,064.

ASU 2016-15 Classification of certain cash payments and cash receipts: There was no impact from the adoption of this update as the classification of the related cash payments and cash receipts has always been reported as described in the ASU.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods and services. Currently, nonemployee awards are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be more reliably measured. Under ASU 2018-07, equity-classified nonemployee awards within the scope of Topic 718 will be measured at grant-date fair value. The ASU simplified the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services, therefore guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be mostly aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company doesn't believe this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

3.          Going Concern:

At June 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $30,224 and cash and cash equivalents of $584. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has remaining contractual commitments for the acquisition of its fleet totaling $189,337. Of this amount, $46,269 is payable in 2018 and $143,068by June30, 2019. Of the amount payable in 2018, an amount of $34,025 has been settled as of the date of issuance of these financial statements. As of June 30, 2018 the Company also has commitments under operating leases for the following twelve months amounting to $6,308.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had available committed financing of $61,929 (Note 6 and 7), which increased to $72,069 in July 2018 when the Company entered into a senior facility with Alpha Bank for $10,140 and further increased to $80,517 in September 2018 when the Company entered into an amendment of the Amended Family Trading Credit Facility (see Note 13). Out of the $80,517, $18,590 refers to pre-delivery facilities and have to be repaid in the first quarter of 2019. The Company expects to finance its unfinanced capital commitments with cash on hand, operational cash flow, debt or equity issuances, or a combination thereof and other sources such as funds from the Company's controlling shareholder and CEO, Mr. Pistiolis, if required. If the Company is unable to arrange debt or equity financing for its newbuilding vessels, it will sell one or more of its vessels or newbuilding contracts. Hence the Company believes that it has the ability to continue as a going concern and finance its obligations as they come due over the next twelve months following the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities, or any other adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Commitments and Contingencies:

Legal proceedings:

Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. As part of the normal course of operations, the Company's customers 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.

On August 1, 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting certain documents and information in connection with offerings made by the Company between February 2017 and August 2017. The Company provided the requested information to the SECin response to that subpoena. On September 26, 2018 and on October 5, 2018 the Company received two additional subpoenas from the SEC requesting certain documents and information in connection with the previous subpoena the Company received on August 1, 2017. The Company is providing the requested information to the SEC in response to that subpoena. The SEC investigation is ongoing and the Company continues to cooperate with the SEC in its investigation. The Company is unable to predict what action, if any, might be taken by the SEC or its staff as a result of this investigation or what impact, if any, the cost of responding to the SEC's investigation or its ultimate outcome might have on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Hence the Company has not established any provision for losses relating to this matter.

On August 23, 2017, a purported securities class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (No. 2:17-cv-04987(JFB)(SIL)) by Christopher Brady on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated against (among other defendants) the Company and two of its executive officers. The complaint is brought on behalf of an alleged class of those who purchased common stock of the Company between January 17, 2017 and August 22, 2017, and alleges that the Company and two of its executive officers violated Sections 9, 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On August 24, 2017, a second purported securities class action complaint was filed in the same court against the same defendants (No. 2:17-cv-05016 (JFB)(SIL)) which makes similar allegations and purports to allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.  By order dated July 20, 2018, the court consolidated the two actions under docket no. 2:17-cv-04987 and appointed lead plaintiffs for the consolidated action. On August 3, 2018, one group of unsuccessful lead plaintiff movants filed a motion to reconsider the Court's July 20, 2018 order. That motion is pending. On September 18, 2018 the court-appointed plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint . The amended complaint purports to be brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased the common stock of the Company between November 23, 2016 and April 3, 2018, makes allegations similar to those made in the original complaints, seeks similar reliefs as the original actions, and alleges that some or all the defendants violated sections 9, 10(b), 20(a), and/or 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The court has stayed the deadline for defendants to respond to the consolidated amended complaints pending resolution of the motion to reconsider the court's July 20, 2018 lead plaintiff order.  The Company and its management believe that the allegations in the complaints are without merit and plan to vigorously defend themselves against the allegations.
Other than the cases mentioned 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.

Financial Instruments:

The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash on hand and at banks, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other receivables. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of short and long termloans,Unsecured Notes, related party loan, accounts payable due to suppliers, amounts due from/to related parties, accrued liabilities,interest rate swaps and warrants granted to third parties.

a)
Interest rate risk: The Company is subject to market risks relating to changes in interest rates relating to debt outstanding under the bank loans on which it pays interest based on LIBOR plus a margin. In order to manage part or whole of its exposure to changes in interest rates due to the floating rate indebtedness, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements with ABN Amro Bank,NORD/LB Bank and Alpha Bank and might enter into more interest rate swap agreements in the future.

b)
Credit risk:Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions with which it places its temporary cash investments.

c)
Fair value:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short term maturities.The Company considers its creditworthiness when determining the fair value of its liquid assets.

The fair value of bank debt approximates the recorded value due to its variable interest rate, being the LIBOR. LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the loans and, hence, bank loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow method taking into account current and future interest rates and the creditworthinessof both the financial instrument counterparty and the Company and, hence, they are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of warrants is determined using the Cox, Ross and Rubinstein Binomial methodology and hence are considered Level 3 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

The Company follows the accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements. 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 guidance requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to 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.

Interest rate swap agreements
The Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates with respect to its variable interest rate credit facilities. These interest rate swap transactions fixed the interest rates based on predetermined ranges in LIBOR rates. The Company has entered into the following agreements with ABN Amro Bank, Nord/LB Bank and Alpha Bank relating to interest rate swaps, the details of which were as follows:

The fair value of the swaps was considered by the Company to be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy since their value was derived from observable market based inputs. The Company pays a fixed rate and receives a floating rate for these interest rate swaps. The fair values of these derivatives determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy were derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Inputs included quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allowed values to be determined.

Derivative Financial Instruments not designated as hedging instruments:
The Company's interest rate swaps did not qualify for hedge accounting. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative financial instruments at the end of every period and reflects the resulting unrealized gain or loss during the period in Gain/(loss) on derivative financial instruments in the statement of comprehensive loss as well as presenting the fair value at the end of each period in the balance sheet.
The major unobservable input in connection with the valuation of the Company's warrants is the volatility used in the valuation model, which is approximated by yearly historical observations of the Company's share price. The yearly historical volatility that has been applied in the warrant valuation as of June 30, 2018 was 246%. A 5% increase in the volatility applied would lead to an increase of 2.9% in the fair value of the warrants. The fair value of the Company's warrants is considered by the Company to be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy since it is derived by unobservable inputs.
