Revenues

Drybulk carrier segment

Voyage revenues increased by $5.5 million, or 36.2%, to $20.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $15.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. An increase of $10.5 million, or 68.8%, is attributable to higher hire rates during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the relevant period in 2016 which was offset by the decrease in total voyage days by 1,250, from 3,830 days to 2,580 days, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in voyage days is due to the decrease in the average number of vessels in our fleet by 7.2 vessels, due to the sale of ten vessels and vessel owning companies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, partly offset by the acquisition of six drybulk vessels during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Tanker segment

Voyage revenues amounted to $3.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, representing revenues from four tankers, which were acquired during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. No revenues were recorded for the tanker segment during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, when we had no tanker vessels.

Gas carrier segment

Voyage revenues amounted to $0.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, representing revenues from one Very Large Gas Carrier ("VLGC"), which was acquired during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. No revenues were recorded for the gas carrier segment during the respective period in 2016 when we had no VLGCs.

Offshore support segment

Voyage revenues decreased by $11.1 million, or 74.5%, to $3.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $14.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is mainly due to the termination of the contracts with Petrobras Brasileiro S.A. or Petrobras, for the vessels Crescendo, Jubilee, Indigo and Jacaranda, effective as of March 6, 2016, March 9, 2016, April 6, 2016 and May 3, 2017, respectively, as well as the expiration of the contracts with Petrobras for the vessels Colorado and Emblem on December 27, 2016 and June 21, 2017, respectively, in accordance with their terms.

Voyage expenses

Drybulk carrier segment

Voyage expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 38.7%, to $4.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $3.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase in voyage expenses relates to the respective increase in voyage revenues.

Tanker segment

Voyage expenses amounted to $1.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, representing expenses from the four tankers acquired during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Offshore support segment

Voyage expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 44.4%, to $0.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $0.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease relates to the respective decrease in voyage revenues.

Vessels operating expenses

Drybulk carrier segment

Vessels operating expenses decreased by $3.6 million, or 19.5%, to $14.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $18.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is mainly due to the sale of ten of our drybulk vessels and vessel owning companies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, partly offset by an increase resulting from the acquisition of six drybulk vessels during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Tanker segment

Operating expenses amounted to $3.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, representing expenses from four tankers that were acquired during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. No operating expenses were recorded for the tanker segment during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 when we had no tanker vessels.

Gas carrier segment

Operating expenses amounted to $0.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, representing expenses for our VLGC acquired during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. No operating expenses were recorded for the gas carrier segment during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 when we had no VLGCs.

Offshore support segment

Vessels operating expenses decreased by $4.6 million, or 51.1%, to $4.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $9.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease is mainly due to decreased operating expenses in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, for the vessels Crescendo, Jubilee and Indigo which were laid up during 2016 and the vessel Jacaranda, which was laid up during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Depreciation

Drybulk carrier segment

Depreciation expense amounted to $1.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $nil for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. No depreciation charge was recorded for our drybulk carriers for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, due to the classification of the vessels as held for sale. The vessels were reclassified as held and used, effective December 31, 2016.

Tanker segment

Depreciation expense amounted to $0.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 and is related to the four tankers acquired during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017.

The decrease is due to the decreased net book value of the vessels on January 1, 2017, as compared to their book values as of January 1, 2016, as a result of the impairment loss charged to the offshore support fleet as of December 31, 2016.

Impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessels owning companies and other

Drybulk carrier segment

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a charge of $40.8 million included in "Impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessels owning companies and other" due to the sale of vessel owning companies and the deterioration of the market values of the remaining vessels held for sale which resulted in the reduction of their carrying amounts to fair value less cost to sell. No such charges were recorded during the relevant period in 2017.

Tanker segment

The tanker segment did not incur any impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessels owning companies or other during the relevant periods.

Equity in net losses of affiliated company

From June 8, 2015 (the date of its deconsolidation) through April 4, 2016, Ocean Rig UDW Inc. ('Ocean Rig") was considered as an affiliated entity. On April 5, 2016, we sold all of our shares in Ocean Rig to a subsidiary of Ocean Rig and as of this date, we no longer hold any equity interest in Ocean Rig. As a result of the above transaction, our share of losses from Ocean Rig amounting to $41.5 million including $162.2 million of impairment in the Ocean Rig investment and $0.8 million of gain due to the sale of our shares in Ocean Rig on April 5, 2016, including $0.3 million related to other comprehensive income, as a single amount in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $104.2 million and $15.0 million of restricted cash. Our restricted cash relates to (i) bank deposits which are used to fund the loan installments coming due, (ii) bank deposits permanently blocked as cash collateral and (iii) required minimum cash and cash equivalents.

Our cash and cash equivalents increased by $27.8 million, or 36.4%, to $104.2 million as of June 30, 2017, compared to $76.4 million as of December 31, 2016 and our restricted cash increased to $15.0 million as of June 30, 2017, compared to $0.4 million as of December 31, 2016. The increase in our cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to proceeds from common stock issuances of $504.4 million and proceeds from long term debt of $37.5 million, partly offset by advances for vessels under construction and acquisitions of $435.0 million, outflows due to loan repayments of $15.8 million, the increase in restricted cash of $14.7 million, dividend payments of $5.0 million and cash used in operating activities of $39.0 million.

Our internally generated cash flow is directly related to our business and the market sectors in which we operate. Should the markets in which we operate deteriorate or worsen, or should we experience poor results in our operations, cash flow from operations may be reduced. Our access to debt and equity markets may be reduced or closed due to a variety of events, including a credit crisis, credit rating agency downgrades of our debt, industry conditions, general economic conditions, market conditions and market perceptions of us and our industry.

Since our formation, our principal source of funds has been equity provided by our shareholders through equity offerings, operating cash flows and long-term borrowings. Our principal use of funds has been capital expenditures to establish, grow and maintain the quality of our fleet, comply with international shipping standards, environmental laws and regulations, fund working capital requirements, make principal repayments and interest payments on outstanding loan facilities and pay dividends.

As of June 30, 2017, we had total indebtedness of $238.2 million under our credit facilities, excluding unamortized financing fees.

Please refer to the discussion on Long-term Debt as detailed in Note 11 of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Commission on March 13, 2017 and Note 9 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Cash flow

Net cash used in operating activities was $39.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. In determining net cash used in operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, net loss was adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items including $3.1 million of depreciation, $0.7 million of amortization and write offs of deferred financing costs, $1.5 million of amortization and write offs of above market value acquired time charter contracts and $0.9 million of non-cash stock based compensation expenses. The Company had net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $18.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. Net cash used in operating activities was $12.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

Net cash used in investing activities was $449.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, due to outflows regarding advances for vessels under construction and vessel acquisitions amounting to $15.7 million, outflows for vessel acquisitions of $419.3 million and the increase in our restricted cash of $14.7 million. Net cash provided by investing activities was $46.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $516.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, consisting of proceeds from common stock issuance of $504.4 million and proceeds from long-term debt of $37.5 million partly offset by repayments of $15.8 million of debt under our long-term credit facilities, dividend payments of $5.0 million and payments of financing fees of $4.6 million.

Recent Developments

On July 4, 2017, we announced that we and our chief executive officer and chairman of our board of directors, Mr. Economou, had been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in High Court of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (Civil Action No. 2017-131) by Michael Sammons alleging, in relevant part, breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and conflict of interest. The plaintiff sought, among other things, a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to suspend any further issuances of new common shares by the Company at a price per share below the price specified by the plaintiff in the complaint, as well as certain other compensatory and punitive damages specified in the complaint. On July 24, 2017, the High Court of the Marshall Islands (the "Court") issued an order denying plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction. On August 10, 2017, the plaintiff filed a first amended complaint which added new plaintiff, and was styled as a direct action only, alleging three new counts for breach of fiduciary duties and constructive fraud, and removing certain of the counts asserted in the original complaint. The plaintiffs requested to proceed pro se and on August 16, 2017, the Court granted a motion to withdraw filed by plaintiffs' counsel. On August 22, 2017, now acting pro se, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, making certain changes to the allegations of the first amended complaint and propounding an additional count for breach of fiduciary duties. The most recent complaint seeks compensatory damages of $1.56 million and treble punitive damages of $4.68 million against Mr. Economou, and requests injunctive and equitable relief against the Company. We and Mr. Economou believe the complaint, as amended, to be without merit and intend to file motions to dismiss or other appropriate responses to the second amended complaint once a deadline is set by the Court.

On July 5, 2017, July 6, 2017 and July 13, 2017, we took delivery of the vessels Morandi, Bacon, and Judd, respectively.

On July 7, 2017, our Board of Directors declared its third quarterly dividend of $2.5 million with respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2017 to the common shareholders of record as of July 20, 2017, which was paid on August 2, 2017.

On July 14, 2017, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (No. 1:17-cv-05368(JFK)) by Maxime Hodges on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated against the Company and two of its executive officers. The complaint alleges that the Company and two of its executive officers violated Sections 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. We will respond to the complaint by the appropriate deadline to be set in the future. We and our management believe that the complaint is without merit and plan to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations.

On July 18, 2017, our Board of Directors determined to effect a 1-for-7 reverse stock split of our common shares, which became effective on July 21, 2017.

On August 2, 2017, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (No. 17-cv-04547) by Herbert Silverberg on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated against, among others, the Company and two of its executive officers. The complaint alleges that the Company and two of its executive officers violated Sections 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. We will respond to the complaint by the appropriate deadline to be set in the future. We and our management believe that the complaint is without merit and plan to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations.

As of August 3, 2017, we have sold an aggregate of 31,349,650 common shares (219,447,550 before the 1-for-7 reverse stock split) to Kalani Investments Limited (the "Investor") under a common stock purchase agreement (the "April 2017 Purchase Agreement") for a gross price of $193.5 million. We terminated the April 2017 Purchase Agreement on August 11, 2017.

On August 11, 2017, our Audit Committee approved a binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") to sell our common shares to entities affiliated with Mr. Economou for aggregate consideration of $100 million at a price of $2.75 per share (the "Private Placement"). Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Audit Committee also approved a subsequent rights offering (the "Rights Offering") that would allow our shareholders to purchase their pro rata portion of up to $100 million of our common shares at a price of $2.75 per share. The Term Sheet, Private Placement and Rights Offering were approved by the Audit Committee, which is comprised of independent members of our board of directors, taking into account a fairness opinion from an independent third-party financial advisor.

On August 29, 2017, we announced the closing of the Private Placement. We did not receive any cash proceeds from the Private Placement. Mr. Economou has also agreed, either directly or through his affiliated entities, to refrain from re-selling for a six-month period any common shares of the Company acquired by him in the Private Placement and the Rights Offering; and we have agreed not to conduct any equity offerings until after December 31, 2017, without the prior approval of the majority of its unaffiliated shareholders.

As of August 29, 2017, following the closing of the Private Placement, (i) we own 49% of Heidmar Holdings LLC pursuant to a joint venture with Morgan Stanley; (ii) the Deed of Participation Rights with Mountain Investments Inc., an entity affiliated with Mr. Economou, has been terminated; (iii) the balance of our credit facility with Sierra Investments Inc. (the "Sierra Revolving Credit Facility"), an entity affiliated with Mr. Economou, stands at $173 million; and (iv) the Series D Preferred Shares held by Sifnos Shareholders Inc., an entity affiliated with Mr. Economou, have been retired.

On August 29, 2017, we announced our intention to launch our previously announced Rights Offering. The Rights Offering is expected to be made through the pro-rata distribution of non-transferrable subscription rights to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 36,363,636 shares of our common stock at a subscription price of $2.75 per share, to our shareholders on August 31, 2017, resulting in gross proceeds of up to $100.0 million. Following the outcome of the Rights Offering and determination of the number of shares to be purchased pursuant to the backstop agreement with Sierra relating to the Rights Offering, the Sierra Revolving Credit Facility will be refinanced with a new loan facility secured by assets, with a loan to value ratio of 50%, a tenor of 5 years, no amortization and the margin over LIBOR will be decreased to 4.5%. No arrangement fees or otherwise will be charged in connection with the refinancing.

On August 31, 2017, a lawsuit was filed in the High Court of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (Civil Action No. 2017-__) by certain Ocean Rig Creditors against, among others, the Company and two of its executive officers. The complaint alleges nine causes of action, including claims for avoidance and recovery of actual and/or constructive fraudulent conveyances under common law or 6 Del. Code §§ 1304(A)(1), 1305, 1307, and 1308; aiding and abetting fraudulent conveyances; and declaratory judgment under 30 MIRC § 202. We will respond to the complaint by the appropriate deadline to be set in the future. We and our management believe that the complaint is without merit and plan to vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations.

We received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting certain documents and information from the Company in connection with offerings made by the Company between June 2016 and July 2017. We are providing the requested information to the SEC.

Significant Accounting policies

A discussion of our significant accounting policies can be found in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Commission on March 13, 2017.

Changes in Accounting Policies

Other than those disclosed in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to these policies in the six-month period ended June 30, 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 facts.

We desire to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and we 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. This document includes assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events. These statements are intended as "forward-looking statements." We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events may and often do vary from actual results and the differences can be material. When used in this document, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "forecast," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," and "expect" reflect forward-looking statements.

All statements in this document that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, such matters as:

our future operating or financial results;

statements about planned, pending or recent acquisitions, business strategy and expected capital spending or operating expenses, including drydocking, surveys, upgrades and insurance costs;

our ability to procure or have access to financing, our liquidity and the adequacy of cash flow for our operations;

our continued borrowing availability under our debt agreements and compliance with the covenants contained therein;

our substantial leverage, including our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to service our existing debt and the incurrence of substantial indebtedness in the future;

our ability to successfully employ our existing and newbuild drybulk, tanker, liquefied petroleum gas and offshore support vessels, as applicable;

our offshore support contract backlog, contract commencements, offshore support contract terminations, offshore support contract option exercises, offshore support contract revenues, offshore support contract awards and platform and offshore support vessels mobilizations and performance provisions,

our capital expenditures and investments in the construction, acquisition and refurbishment of our vessels (including the amount and nature thereof and the timing of completion thereof, the delivery and commencement of operations dates, expected downtime and lost revenue);

statements about drybulk, tanker and liquefied petroleum gas shipping and offshore support market trends, charter rates and factors affecting supply and demand;

our expectations regarding the availability of vessel acquisitions; and

anticipated developments with respect to pending litigation.

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 our 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 described in the forward-looking statements contained in this report.

Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies; general market conditions, including changes in charter rates, utilization of vessels and vessel values; the failure of a seller or shipyard to deliver one or more vessels; the failure of a buyer to accept delivery of one or more vessels; inability to procure acquisition financing; repudiation, nullification, termination, modification or renegotiation of our contracts; default by one or more customers; changes in demand for drybulk or liquefied petroleum gas commodities, oil or petroleum products; changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers; scheduled and unscheduled drydocking; changes in our voyage and operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs; complications associated with repairing and replacing equipment in remote locations; limitations on insurance coverage, such as war risk coverage, in certain areas; foreign and U.S. monetary policy and foreign currency fluctuations and devaluations; changes in governmental rules and regulations, 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; domestic and international political conditions; potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents; international hostilities and political events or acts by terrorists; and other factors listed from time to time in reports, registration statements and other materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 20–F for the year ended December 31, 2016.

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information:

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DryShips Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "DryShips"). DryShips was formed on September 9, 2004, under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The Company is a diversified owner of ocean going cargo vessels.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") 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, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2017.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and include the accounts and operating results of Dryships, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its affiliate.

From June 8, 2015 (the date of its deconsolidation) through April 4, 2016, Ocean Rig UDW Inc. ("Ocean Rig") was considered as an affiliated entity and not as a controlled subsidiary of the Company. As a result, Ocean Rig was accounted for under the equity method and its assets and liabilities were not consolidated in the Company's balance sheet. On April 5, 2016, the Company sold all of its common shares in Ocean Rig, to a subsidiary of Ocean Rig and as of this date, the Company no longer holds any equity interest in Ocean Rig. Accordingly, additional disclosures for Ocean Rig have not been included, in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation including reclassifications between voyage revenues and impairment loss. (Note 7)

In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements 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, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

On March 11, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split seven fractional shares were cashed out. Furthermore, on August 15, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split five fractional shares were cashed out. On November 1, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split nine fractional shares were cashed out. On January 23, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split four fractional shares were cashed out. On April 11, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split two fractional shares were cashed out. On May 11, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-7 reverse stock split of its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split three fractional shares were cashed out. On June 22, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split two fractional shares were cashed out. Finally on July 21, 2017, the Company effected a 1-for-7 reverse stock split of its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split two fractional shares were cashed out. All share and per share amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes give effect to these reverse stock splits retroactively, for all periods presented.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

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 year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2017 (the "Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016"). There have been no material changes to these policies in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, other than that the Company, entered into two additional reportable segments by entering the tanker market through the acquisition of four tanker vessels (Note 6), the gas carrier market through the acquisition of four VLGCs (Note 5 and 6) and the adoption of the accounting standard update discussed below.

Recent Accounting pronouncements:

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-03 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)." The ASU amends the Codification for SEC staff announcements made at recent Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meetings. The SEC guidance that specifically relates to our Consolidate Financial Statement was from the September 2016 meeting, where the SEC staff expressed its expectations about the extent of disclosures registrants should make about the effects of the new FASB guidance as well as any amendments issued prior to adoption, on revenue (ASU 2014-09), leases (ASU 2016-02) and credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13) in accordance with SAB Topic 11.M. Registrants are required to disclose the effect that recently issued accounting standards will have on their financial statements when adopted in a future period. In cases where a registrant cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption, then additional qualitative disclosures should be considered. The ASU incorporates these SEC staff views into ASC 250 and adds references to that guidance in the transition paragraphs of each of the three new standards. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting" ("ASU 2017-09"), which clarifies and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after 15 December 2017, however early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the amendment of this Update on the Company's consolidated financial position and performance.

In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", clarifying the method used to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of income. Under the new standard, an entity must identify the performance obligations in a contract, the transaction price and allocate the price to specific performance obligations to recognize the revenue when the obligation is completed. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts. In August 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2015-14 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. The standard will be effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The Company will adopt the standard as of January 1, 2018 and is expecting that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 may result in a change in the method of recognizing revenue for voyage charters, whereby the Company's method of determining proportional performance might change from discharge-to-discharge to load-to-discharge. This will result in no revenue being recognized from discharge of the prior voyage to loading of the current voyage and all revenue being recognized from loading of the current voyage to discharge of the current voyage. This change will result in revenue being recognized later in the voyage which may cause additional volatility in revenue and earnings between periods. The Company is in the process of validating aspects of ASU 2014-09, quantifying the effect that the adoption of the ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial statements, determining the transitional impact and completing other items required for the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

TMS Bulkers Ltd.– TMS Offshore Services Ltd. - TMS Tankers Ltd.- TMS Cardiff Gas Ltd. : Effective January 1, 2017, the Company, entered into a new agreement (the "New TMS Agreement") with TMS Bulkers Ltd. ("TMS Bulkers") and TMS Offshore Services Ltd. ("TMS Offshore Services") (together "the Managers"), to streamline the services offered by TMS Bulkers under the management agreements with each of the Company's drybulk vessel-owning subsidiaries and by TMS Offshore Services, pursuant to the respective management agreements with the Company's offshore support vessel–owning subsidiaries. The Managers may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. George Economou, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

In connection with the New TMS Agreement that entails an increased scope of services, including executive management, commercial, accounting, reporting, financing, legal, manning, catering, IT, attendance, insurance, technical and operations services, the Company terminated the consulting agreements with Fabiana Services S.A. ("Fabiana"), Vivid Finance Limited ("Vivid") and Basset Holdings Inc. ("Basset"), entities controlled by the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. George Economou and President and Chief Financial Officer Mr. Anthony Kandylidis, effective as of December 31, 2016. The all-in base cost for providing the increased scope of services was reduced to $1,643/day per vessel which is a 33% reduction from prior levels, based on a minimum of 20 vessels, decreasing thereafter to $1,500/day per vessel. The New TMS Agreement entitles the Managers to an aggregate performance bonus for 2016 amounting to $6,000, as well as a one-time setup fee of $2,000.

10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements - continued:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, other current assets and liabilities and due to / due from related parties reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their respective fair values because of the short term nature of these accounts. Assets and liabilities held for sale are stated at fair value less cost to sell. The fair value of credit facilities is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt of the same remaining maturities. Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of the credit facilities. 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.

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.

An additional charge of $18,266 was also recognized as of June 30, 2016, and included in "Impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessel owning companies and other", due to the reduction of the vessels' held for sale carrying amount to their fair value less cost to sell. (Note 6)

13. Commitment and Contingencies:

13.1 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.

An investigation was carried out by Chinese authorities in relation with an alleged collision of the vessel Catalina with a fishing boat while enroute to Indonesia on May 7, 2016. The vessel remained detained in Ningbo, China and was released during July 2016. Following determination of the Chinese Maritime authorities on the apportionment of inter ship liability, the P&I Club is in the process of negotiating the settlement of the property damage claim of the owners of the fishing boat in order to cover owners' portion of such liability. Crew claims were separately settled by such club. The criminal proceedings in relation to such case are still ongoing.

HPOR Servicos De Consultaria Ltda ("HPOR") on September 1, 2016, commenced London arbitration references against the Company. seeking payment of certain commissions that HPOR is alleging were due by, amongst others, the Company for certain agency and marketing services provided for the Ocean Rig Mykonos and the Ocean Rig Corcovado drilling units. The Company is disputing such allegations and has counterclaimed repayment of the commission already paid to HPOR.

On July 4, 2017, the Company announced that it and its chief executive officer and chairman of the Company's board of directors, Mr. George Economou, had been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in High Court of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (Civil Action No. 2017-131) by Michael Sammons alleging, in relevant part, breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and conflict of interest. The plaintiff sought, among other things, a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to suspend any further issuances of new common shares by the Company at a price per share below the price specified by the plaintiff in the complaint, as well as certain other compensatory and punitive damages specified in the complaint. On July 24, 2017, the High Court of the Marshall Islands (the "Court") issued an order denying plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction. On August 10, 2017, the plaintiff filed a first amended complaint which added new plaintiff, and was styled as a direct action only, alleging three new counts for breach of fiduciary duties and constructive fraud, and removing certain of the counts asserted in the original complaint. The plaintiffs requested to proceed pro se and on August 16, 2017, the Court granted a motion to withdraw filed by plaintiffs' counsel. On August 22, 2017, now acting pro se, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, making certain changes to the allegations of the first amended complaint and propounding an additional count for breach of fiduciary duties. The most recent complaint seeks compensatory damages of $1.56 million and treble punitive damages of $4.68 million against Mr. Economou, and requests injunctive and equitable relief against the Company. The Company and Mr. Economou believe the complaint, as amended, to be without merit and intend to file motions to dismiss or other appropriate responses to the second amended complaint once a deadline is set by the Court.

On July 14, 2017, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (No. 1:17-cv-05368(JFK)) by Maxime Hodges on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated against the Company and two of its executive officers. The complaint alleges that the Company and two of its executive officers violated Sections 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Company will respond to the complaint by the appropriate deadline to be set in the future. The Company and its management believe that the complaint is without merit and plan to vigorously defend themselves against the allegations.

13.1 Legal proceedings – continued:

On August 2, 2017, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (No. 17-cv-04547) by Herbert Silverberg on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated against, among others, the Company and two of its executive officers. The complaint alleges that the Company and two of its executive officers violated Sections 10(b) and/or 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Company will respond to the complaint by the appropriate deadline to be set in the future. The Company and its management believe that the complaint is without merit and plan to vigorously defend themselves against the allegations.

On August 31, 2017, a lawsuit was filed in the High Court of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (Civil Action No. 2017-__) by certain Ocean Rig Creditors against, among others, the Company and two of its executive officers. The complaint alleges nine causes of action, including claims for avoidance and recovery of actual and/or constructive fraudulent conveyances under common law or 6 Del. Code §§ 1304(A)(1), 1305, 1307, and 1308; aiding and abetting fraudulent conveyances; and declaratory judgment under 30 MIRC § 202. The Company will respond to the complaint by the appropriate deadline to be set in the future. The Company and its management believe that the complaint is without merit and plan to vigorously defend ourselves 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.

15. Segment Information:

The Company has currently four reportable segments from which it derives its revenues: drybulk, offshore support, tanker and gas carrier segments. The Company, after selling its whole tanker fleet during 2015, re-entered the tanker market through the acquisition of four tanker vessels (Note 6) which were delivered during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. The Company also entered during 2017 the gas carrier market through the acquisition of four VLGCs (Note 5 and 6). Finally the Company received earnings or losses from its investment in Ocean Rig up to April 5, 2016 (Note 3 and 8). The reportable segments reflect the internal organization of the Company and are a strategic business that offers different products and services. The drybulk business segment consists of transportation and handling of drybulk cargoes through ownership and trading of vessels. The offshore support business segment consists of offshore support services to the global offshore energy industry through the operation of a diversified fleet of offshore support vessels. The tanker business segment consists of vessels for the transportation of crude and refined petroleum cargoes. The gas carrier segment consists of vessels for the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas.

The tables below present information about the Company's reportable segments as of and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2017. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of the reportable segments are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company allocates general and administrative expenses of the parent company to its subsidiaries on a pro rata basis.

The Company measures segment performance based on net loss. Summarized financial information concerning each of the Company's reportable segments is as follows:

	Drybulk Segment								Offshore support Segment							Tanker Segment								Gas Carrier Segment					Drilling Segment							Total

	Six-month period ended June 30,								Six-month period ended June 30,							Six-month period ended June 30,								Six-month period ended June 30,					Six-month period ended June 30,							Six-month period ended June 30,

Income tax expense			-				-				(19	)		(20	)			-				-			-		-				-				-			(19	)			(20	)
Net loss			(64,963	)			(15,401	)			(8,391	)		(7,340	)			(1,115	)			(2,847	)		-		(763	)			(41,454	)			-			(115,923	)			(26,351	)

The Company's tankers and VLGCs operate on many trade routes throughout the world, and, therefore, the provision of geographic information is considered impractical by management.

16. Losses per Share:

The Company calculates basic and diluted losses per share as follows:

	Six-month period ended June 30,
	2016									2017
	Loss (numerator)				Weighted-average number of outstanding shares (denominator)		Amount per share			Loss (numerator)			Weighted-average number of outstanding shares (denominator)		Amount per share
Net loss attributable to DryShips Inc			(115,923	)		-			-			(26,351)		-			-
Less: Series C Convertible Preferred Stock dividends			(56	)		-			-			-		-			-
Basic and diluted LPS
Loss attributable to common stockholders		$	(115,979	)		57		$	(2,038,822.14)		$	(26,351)		243,433		$	(108.25)

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2017 and given that the Company incurred losses, the effect of including any potential common shares in the denominator of diluted per-share computations would have been anti-dilutive and therefore, basic and diluted losses per share are the same.

17. Income Taxes:

None of the countries of incorporation of the Company and its subsidiaries impose a tax on international shipping income earned by a "non-resident" corporation thereof. Under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Malta and Norway, the countries in which the Company and the drybulk, offshore support, tanker and gas carrier vessels owned by subsidiaries of the Company are registered, the Company's subsidiaries (and their vessels) are subject to registration fees and tonnage taxes, as applicable, which have been included in Vessels' operating expenses in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Republic of the Marshall Islands, Malta and Norway, the jurisdictions where the Company and its ship-owning subsidiaries are incorporated, each grants an "equivalent exemption" to United States corporations with respect to each type of shipping income earned by the Company's ship-owning subsidiaries. Therefore, the ship-owning subsidiaries may be eligible to qualify for exemption from United States federal income taxation with respect to U.S. source shipping income if such companies satisfy certain ownership and documentation requirements under applicable U.S. federal income tax law and regulations. The ship-owning subsidiaries will be deemed to satisfy these certain requirements if the Company is able to satisfy such requirements. The Company does not believe that it can satisfy the ownership requirements to qualify for an exemption from United States taxation on its U.S. source shipping income for the taxable year ending December 31, 2017. Therefore, each of the Company's Republic of the Marshall Islands, Malta and Norway ship-owning subsidiaries will be subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of their U.S. source shipping income. The Company is in the process of estimating what its tax exposure will be.

18. Subsequent Events:

18.1 On July 5, 2017, July 6, 2017 and July 13, 2017, the vessels Morandi, Bacon, and Judd, respectively were delivered to the Company. (Note 5)

18.2 On July 7, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared its third quarterly dividend of $2,500, with respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, to the common shareholders of record as of July 20, 2017, which was paid on August 2, 2017. (Note 11)

18.3 On July 18, 2017, the Company's Board of Directors has determined to effect a 1-for-7 reverse stock split of the Company's common shares, which became effective on July 21, 2017.

F-28

18. Subsequent Events – continued:

18.4 As of August 3, 2017, the Company has sold an aggregate of 31,349,650 common shares (219,447,550 before the 1-for-7 reverse stock split) to the Investor under the April 2017 Purchase Agreement for a gross price of $193,538. The Company terminated the April 2017 Purchase Agreement on August 11, 2017.

18.5 On August 11, 2017, the Company's Audit Committee approved a binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") pursuant to which the Company will sell the Company's common shares to entities affiliated with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. George Economou, for aggregate consideration of $100 million at a price of $2.75 per share (the "Private Placement"). Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the Audit Committee has also approved a subsequent rights offering (the "Rights Offering") that would allow the Company's shareholders to purchase their pro rata portion of up to $100 million of the Company's common shares at a price of $2.75 per share. The Term Sheet, Private Placement and Rights Offering were approved by the Audit Committee, which is comprised of independent members of our board of directors, taking into account a fairness opinion from an independent third-party financial advisor.

18.6 On August 29, 2017, the Company announced the closing of the Private Placement. The Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the Private Placement. Mr. Economou has also agreed, either directly or through his affiliated entities, to refrain from re-selling for a six-month period any common shares of the Company acquired by him in the Private Placement and the Rights Offering; and the Company has agreed not to conduct any equity offerings until after December 31, 2017, without the prior approval of the majority of its unaffiliated shareholders.

As of August 29, 2017, following the closing of the Private Placement, (i) the Company owns 49% of Heidmar Holdings LLC pursuant to a joint venture with Morgan Stanley; (ii) the Deed of Participation Rights with Mountain Investments Inc., an entity affiliated with Mr. Economou, has been terminated; (iii) the balance of the Revolving Sierra Credit Facility stands at $173 million; and (iv) the Series D Preferred Shares held by Sifnos Shareholders Inc., an entity affiliated with Mr. Economou, have been retired.

18.7 On August 29, 2017, the Company announced its intention to launch its previously announced Rights Offering. The Rights Offering is expected to be made through the pro-rata distribution of non-transferrable subscription rights to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 36,363,636 shares of Common Stock at a subscription price of $2.75 per share, to shareholders of the Company on August 31, 2017, resulting in gross proceeds of up to $100,000. Following the outcome of the Rights Offering and determination of the number of shares to be purchased pursuant to the backstop agreement with Sierra relating to the Rights Offering, the Sierra Revolving Credit Facility will be refinanced with a new loan facility secured by assets, with a loan to value ratio of 50%, a tenor of 5 years, no amortization and the margin over LIBOR will be decreased to 4.5%. No arrangement fees or otherwise will be charged in connection with the refinancing.

18.8 The Company received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting certain documents and information from the Company in connection with offerings made by the Company between June 2016 and July 2017. The Company is providing the requested information to the SEC.
