NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are residual value of vessels, the useful lives of vessels, the percentage completion of spot voyages and estimated losses on our trade receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications of Voyage revenue and Charter revenue have been made to prior periods to conform to current period presentation.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term deposits with an original maturity of less than three months. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows:

Leases

Time charter in contracts

The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the charter hire payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is reflected as advance hire in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. As allowed by a practical expedient under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), the Company made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less, to forego recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on its balance sheet. For the quarter ending June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any time charter in contracts with terms greater than 12 months, as such charter hire expense presented on the consolidated statements of income are lease expenses for chartered in contracts less than 12 months.

Time charter out contracts

Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreed rate per day. The charterer has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The Company determined that all time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of ASC 842 because: (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset; (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights; and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had one vessel chartered to a customer under a time charter that contained a lease. This one lease's duration was 28 days. At June 30, 2022, lease payments due under this arrangement totaled approximately $125,000 and the time charter was due to be completed in 4 days.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had 15 vessels chartered to customers under time charters that contain leases. These 15 leases varied in original length from 24 days to 138 days. At June 30, 2021, lease payments due under these arrangements totaled

9

approximately $8,648,000 and each of the time charters were due to be completed in 65 days or less. The Company does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

Office leases

The Company has two non-cancelable office and office equipment leases. The resulting lease assets and liabilities are not material.

Revenue Recognition

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" or "despatch" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, with the amounts recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

The voyage contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers because the Company, as the shipowner, retains control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch.

During time charter agreements, the Company is paid to provide transportation services on a per day basis for a specified period of time. Revenues from time charters are earned and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter, the charterers have substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. As such, the Company has identified that time charter agreements contain a lease in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue is not earned when vessels are offhire.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Companies can apply the ASU immediately, however the guidance will only be available until December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. For most financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, loans and other instruments, this standard changes the current incurred loss model to a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard is effective for the Company at the beginning of 2023. Entities are required to apply the provisions of the standard through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the new guidance and its impact on its consolidated financial statements, and it intends to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2023.

Long-lived Assets Impairment Considerations

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. If indicators of impairment are present, we perform an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be derived from the related long-lived assets. Our assessment is made at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets. The asset groups established by the Company are defined by vessel size and major characteristic or trade.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred related to the sale of a vessel, as the carrying value exceeded its fair value. On April 20, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the m/v Bulk Pangaea for a total net consideration of $8.6 million after brokerage commissions. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company concluded that no triggering event had occurred during the during the second quarter of 2022 which would require impairment testing.

The Company determined there were no triggering events present during the six months ended June 30, 2021 which would require impairment testing.

NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Forward freight agreements

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and, when appropriate, hedges identified economic risk with appropriate derivative instruments, specifically forward freight agreements (FFAs). These economic hedges do not usually qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis.

Fuel swap contracts

The Company continuously monitors the market volatility associated with bunker prices and seeks to reduce the risk of such volatility through a bunker hedging program. The Company enters into fuel swap contracts that are not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis.

Interest rate cap

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s forward freight agreements and fuel swap contracts are based on market prices obtained from an independent third-party valuation specialist based on published indices. Such quotes represent the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. The interest rate caps contracts are valued using analysis obtained from independent third party valuation specialists based on market observable inputs, representing Level 2 assets.

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	Asset Derivative
Derivative instruments	Balance Sheet Location	06/30/2022		12/31/2021
Margin accounts (1)	Other current assets	$	(25,652)	$	5,464,379
Forward freight agreements (2)	Other current assets	$	3,181,161	$	2,119,581

Interest rate cap (2)	Other current assets	$	2,766,575	$	718,774

(1) The fair value measurements were all categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

(2) These fair value measurements were all categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in order of priority are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 fair value measurements include cash, money-market accounts and restricted cash accounts.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable.

Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bulk Destiny, Bulk Trident, Bulk Xaymaca, Bulk Spirit, Bulk Friendship, Bulk Courageous, Nordic Nuluujaak, Nordic Qinngua, Nordic Sanngiguq and Nordic Siku are classified as finance leases and the leases are secured by the assignment of earnings and insurances and by guarantees of the Company. Minimum lease payments under finance leases are recognized on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease and the Company will own these vessels at the end of lease term. Refer to the Company's annual report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2022 for additional information on these finance leases.

Bulk Concord Bareboat Charter Agreement dated January 27, 2022

In February 2022, the Company acquired the m/v Bulk Concord for $19.9 million, which is the estimated fair value, and simultaneously entered into a failed sale and leaseback of the vessel. The Company determined that the transfer of the vessel to the lessor was not a sale in accordance with ASC 606, because control of the vessel was not transferred to the lessor. The lease is classified as finance lease in accordance with ASC 842, because the lease includes a fixed price purchase option, which the Company expects to exercise at the end of the lease term. The minimum lease payments include imputed interest at 4.67%. The Company has the option to purchase the vessel at the end of the third year of the lease or thereafter, or in the case of default by the lessor, at any time during the lease term. In the event the Company has not exercised any of the purchase options during the term of the charter then the Company shall have a final purchase option to purchase the vessel at the end of the seventh year at a fixed price of $3.0 million. This lease is secured by the assignment of earnings and insurances and by a guarantee of the Company.

The following table provides details of the Company's future minimum lease payments under finance lease liabilities recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022.

NOTE 8 - OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

In September 2019, the Company entered into an LLC agreement for the formation of NBP, that, at inception is owned 75% by the Company and 25% by an independent third party. NBP was established for the purpose of constructing and owning four new-build ice class post panamax vessels. The third party contributed additional funding which increased their ownership of NBP to 50% at the time of delivery of the new-build ice class post panamax vessels. The agreement contains both put and call option provisions. Accordingly, the Company may be obligated, pursuant to the put option, or entitled to, pursuant to the call option, to purchase the third party's interest in NBP beginning anytime after September 2026. The put option and call option are at fixed prices which are not significantly different from each other, starting at $4.0 million per vessel on the fourth anniversary from completion and delivery of each vessel and declining to $3.7 million per vessel on or after the seventh anniversary from completion and delivery of each vessel. If neither put nor call option is exercised, the Company is obligated to purchase the vessels from NBP at a fixed price. Pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company has recorded the third party's interest in NBP as a Long term liabilities - Other. The Company took delivery of Nordic Nuluujaak, Nordic Qinngua, Nordic Sanngijuq and Nordic Siku in 2021. Earnings attributable to the third party’s interest in NBP are recorded in Income attributable to Non-controlling interest recorded as long-term liability.

On September 28, 2020, the Company acquired an additional one-third equity interest in its partially-owned consolidated subsidiary NBHC from its shareholders for $22.5 million, including a $15.0 million cash payment upon closing and $7.5 million of deferred consideration, at three-month LIBOR plus 3.5%, in three equal installments of $2.5 million due on the first, second, and third anniversaries of September 28, 2020. The Company expects to pay off the note payable in September of 2022. The deferred consideration is recorded in "Other current liabilities" for $5.0 million plus accrued interest on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022. NBHC will continue to be a consolidated entity in the Company’s consolidated financial statements pursuant to ASC 810-10. The portion of NBHC not owned by the Company will continue to be recognized as non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts

The Company uses a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts when analyzing its performance.

These include revenue recognition, deferred revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, vessels and depreciation and long-lived assets impairment considerations, as defined above as well as the following:

Voyage Revenue. Voyage revenue is derived from voyage charters which involve the carriage of cargo from a load port to a discharge port, which is predetermined in each voyage contract. Gross revenue is calculated by multiplying the agreed rate per ton of cargo by the number of tons loaded. The Company directs how and for what purpose the vessel is used and therefore, these voyage contracts do not contain leases.

Charter Revenue. Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreed rate per day. These time-charter arrangements contain leases because the lessee has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The operating lease component and the vessel operating expense non-lease component of a time-charter contract are reported as a single component.

Voyage Expenses. The Company incurs expenses for voyage charters, including bunkers (fuel), port charges, canal tolls, brokerage commissions and cargo handling operations, which are expensed as incurred.

Charter Expenses. The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the charter hire payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is reflected as advance hire in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. The Company does not record a right-of-use asset or lease liability for any arrangement less than one year.

20

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses represent the cost to operate the Company’s owned vessels. Vessel operating expenses include crew hire and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes, other miscellaneous expenses, and technical management fees. These expenses are recognized as incurred. Technical management services include day-to-day vessel operations, performing general vessel maintenance, ensuring regulatory and classification society compliance, arranging the hire of crew, and purchasing stores, supplies, and spare parts.

Fleet Data. The Company believes that the measures for analyzing future trends in its results of operations consist of the following:

Shipping days. The Company defines shipping days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which its owned or chartered-in vessels are performing either a voyage charter (voyage days) or a time charter (time charter days).

Daily vessel operating expenses. The Company defines daily vessel operating expenses as vessel operating expenses divided by ownership days for the period. Vessel operating expenses include crew hire and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes, other miscellaneous expenses, and technical management fees.

Chartered in days. The Company defines chartered in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which it chartered in vessels from third party vessel owners.

Time Charter Equivalent ‘‘TCE’’ rates. The Company defines TCE rates as total revenues less voyage expenses divided by the length of the voyage, which is consistent with industry standards. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in per-day amounts.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairment, loss on sale and leaseback of vessels, share-based compensation and other non-operating income and/or expense, if any. Adjusted EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors to measure operating performance and is also reviewed periodically as a measure of financial performance by Pangaea's Board of Directors. Adjusted EBITDA is not an item recognized by the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, or any other indicator of a company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. Pangaea’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may not be comparable to the definition of EBITDA used by other companies.

(2)Shipping days are defined as the aggregate number of days in a period during which its owned or chartered-in vessels are performing either a voyage charter (voyage days) or time charter (time charter days).

Business Overview

The dry bulk sector of the transportation and logistics industry is cyclical and can be volatile due to changes in supply of vessels and demand for transportation of dry bulk commodities. After reaching levels not seen in over a decade in 2021, the dry bulk freight market remained strong in historical terms in the first half of 2022. The Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”), a measure of dry bulk market performance, averaged 2,403 for the second quarter of 2022, compared to an average of 3,001 for the comparable quarter of 2021, and up approximately 24% from the first quarter of 2022. More specifically, and reflecting the composition of the Company's fleet, the average published market rates for Supramax and Panamax vessels increased approximately 8% from an average of $24,185 in the second quarter of 2021 to $26,075 in the same period of 2022. We have historically experienced fluctuations in our results of operations on a quarterly and annual basis due to the volatility of the dry bulk sector. We expect to experience continued fluctuations in our operating results in the foreseeable future due to a variety of factors, including cargo demand for vessels, supply of vessels, competition, and seasonality.

Quarterly TCE Performance

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's TCE rates were up 29% to $27,139 from $21,053 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company's achieved TCE rates continued to improve as the overall dry bulk market rates improved for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company's achieved TCE rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 outperformed the average of the Baltic panamax and supramax market indexes and exceeded the average market rates by approximately 4% due to its long-term contracts of affreightment, ("COAs"), its specialized fleet and its cargo-focused strategy.

2nd Quarter Highlights

•Net income attributable to Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. was approximately $25.0 million for three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to approximately $19.2 million for the same period of 2021.

•Diluted net income per share was $0.56 for three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $0.43 for the same period of 2021.

•Pangaea's TCE rates were $27,139 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $21,053 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

•Adjusted EBITDA was $44.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $21.4 million for the same period of 2021.

•At the end of the quarter, Pangaea had $102.2 million in cash, and cash equivalents.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenues

Pangaea’s revenues are derived predominately from voyage and time charters. Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $195.5 million, compared to $145.5 million for the same period in 2021, a 34% increase. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher average TCE rates earned as discussed above. The total number of shipping days were approximately the same for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Components of revenue are as follows:

Voyage revenues increased by 48% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $173.2 million compared to $117.4 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to higher average TCE rates earned and a greater number of voyage days which increased 16% to 3,963 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 3,431 for the same period in 2021.

Charter revenues decreased to $22.4 million from $28.1 million, or 21%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in charter revenues was due to a decrease in time charter days which were down 43% to 740 in the first quarter of 2022 from 1,292 for the same quarter in 2021 and offset by increased charter hire rates earned. The optionality of our chartering strategy allows the Company to selectively release excess ship days, if any, into the market under time charter arrangements.

25

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses were $67.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $46.1 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of approximately 47.3%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in bunker costs. Further voyage days increased by 16% to 3,963 days in the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 3,431 days for the same period in 2021. Total costs of bunkers consumed increased by 94.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to the increasing market price for bunkers. Port expenses increased by 9% compared to prior year as a result of the increase in voyage days.

Charter Hire Expenses

Charter hire expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $65.7 million, compared to $62.6 million for the same period in 2021, a 5% increase. The increase in charter hire expenses was primarily due to an increase in market rates to charter-in vessels. The average published market rates for Supramax and Panamax vessels increased approximately 8% from an average of $24,185 in the second quarter of 2021 to $26,075 in the same period of 2022. This was offset by a decrease in chartered-in days of 20% from 3,108 days in the three months ended June 30, 2021 to 2,501 days for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company's flexible charter-in strategy allows it to supplement its owned fleet with short term chartered-in tonnage at prevailing market prices, when needed, to meet cargo demand.

Vessel Operating Expenses 

Vessel operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $12.9 million, compared to $9.8 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of approximately 32%. The increase in vessel operating expenses was predominantly due to an increase in owned days resulting from the acquisition of vessels in 2021 and 2022. Excluding technical management fees, vessel operating expenses on a per day basis were $5,198 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $5,254 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Technical management fees were approximately $1.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $5.1 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in timing of recognition of incentive compensation.

Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative instruments

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and bunker prices, and when appropriate, actively hedges identified economic risk that may impact the operating income of long-term cargo contracts and forward bookings with forward freight agreements and bunkers swaps. The utilization of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company's reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis as the Company marks these positions to market at the balance sheet date while settlement of the position and execution of the physical transaction may occur at a future date. The Company recognized a mark to market loss on bunker swaps of approximately $2.1 million and unrealized loss on forward freight agreements (FFAs) of approximately $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The fair value gain on interest rate derivative was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. These gains and losses resulted from changes in the fair value of the derivatives at the respective balance sheet dates.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Revenues

Pangaea’s revenues are derived predominately from voyage and time charters. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $387.3 million, compared to $270.5 million for the same period in 2021, a 43% increase. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher average TCE rates earned as total shipping days remained relatively consistent, only increasing approximately 1% to 9,482 in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 9,391 for the same period in 2021.

Components of revenue are as follows:

Voyage revenues increased by 55% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $349.5 million compared to $225.6 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in voyage revenues was primarily due to higher average TCE rates and greater number of voyage days.

26

Charter revenues decreased to $37.8 million from $44.9 million, or 16%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in charter revenues was due to a decrease in time charter days, which were down 42% to 1,343 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 2,332 in the six months ended June 30, 2021, offset by increased time charter hire earned per day. The time charter revenue per day was $28,131 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $19,250 for the same period of 2021. The optionality of our chartering strategy allows the Company to selectively release excess ship days, if any, into the market under time charter arrangements.

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses were $133.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $94.0 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of 42%. The increase was mainly attributable to increased bunker costs, port expenses and canal fees. Bunkers, port charges, and canal fees primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters. The number of voyage days increased by 15% to 8,139 days in the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 7,059 days for the same period in 2021. Total costs of bunkers consumed increased by 80% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to increasing market prices for bunkers. Port expenses increased 11% compared to prior year as a result of increased canal fees incurred in the current year.

Charter Hire Expenses

Charter hire expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $143.4 million, compared to $116.2 million for the same period in 2021, a 23% increase. The increase in charter hire expenses was primarily due to an increase in market rates to charter-in vessels, offset by a decrease in the number of chartered-in days from 6,404 days in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 5,165 days for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company's flexible charter-in strategy allows it to supplement its owned fleet with short term chartered-in tonnage at prevailing market prices, when needed, to meet cargo demand.

Vessel Operating Expenses 

Vessel operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $26.1 million, compared to $18.3 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of approximately 43%. The increase in vessel operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in owned days resulting from the acquisition of vessels over the period. Excluding technical management fees, vessel operating expenses on a per day basis were $5,270 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $5,140 for the same period in 2021. Technical management fees were approximately $2.5 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $10.4 million and $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Unrealized (loss) gain on derivative instruments

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and bunker prices, and when appropriate, actively hedges identified economic risk that may impact the operating income of long-term cargo contracts and forward bookings with forward freight agreements and bunkers swaps. The utilization of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company's reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis as the Company marks these positions to market at the balance sheet date while settlement of the position and execution of the physical transaction may occur at a future date. The Company recognized mark to market gains on bunker swaps of approximately $0.9 million and gains on forward freight agreements (FFAs) of approximately $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The fair value gain on interest rate derivatives was approximately $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These gains resulted from changes in the fair value of the derivatives at the respective balance sheet dates.

27

Significant accounting estimates

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are the estimated fair value used in determining the estimated future cash flows used in its impairment analysis, the estimated salvage value used in determining depreciation expense, the estimated on the percentage completion of spot voyages and the allowances for doubtful accounts.

Long-lived Assets Impairment Considerations

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. If indicators of impairment are present, we perform an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be derived from the related long-lived assets. Our assessment is made at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets. The asset groups established by the Company are defined by vessel size and major characteristic or trade.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred related to the sale of a vessel, as the carrying value exceeded its fair value. On April 20, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the m/v Bulk Pangaea for a total net consideration of $8.6 million after brokerage commissions. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company performed an impairment analysis on each asset group and concluded the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were higher than their carrying amount and as such, no additional loss on impairment was recognized. The Company concluded that no triggering event had occurred during the during the second quarter of 2022 which would require impairment testing.

The Company determined there were no triggering events present during the six months ended June 30, 2021 which would require impairment testing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has historically financed its capital requirements with cash flow from operations, the issuance of common stock, proceeds from non-controlling interests, and proceeds from long-term debt and finance lease financing arrangements. The Company has used its capital primarily to fund operations, vessel acquisitions, and the repayment of debt and the associated interest expense. The Company may consider debt or additional equity financing alternatives from time to time. However, if market conditions deteriorate, the Company may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms or at all. As a result, the Company may be unable to pursue opportunities to expand its business.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $115.3 million and $72.2 million, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $69.2 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The cash flows from operating activities increased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in income from operations as well as the impact of changes in working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $10.2 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $108.7 million for the same period in 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company purchased four vessels for $105.4 million and paid $2.7 million as advances for the purchase of one additional vessel which was delivered on July 12, 2021. Additionally, the Company paid $0.3 million as advances towards two newbuildings delivered in the third and fourth quarter of 2021.

28

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $13.1 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $81.3 million for the same period of 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company received $15.0 million in proceeds from finance leases. The Company repaid $9.0 million of long term debt and $7.8 million of finance leases. The Company also paid $5.6 million of cash dividends.

The Company has demonstrated its unique ability to adapt to changing market conditions by maintaining a nimble chartered-in profile to meet its cargo commitments. We believe, given our current cash holdings, if drybulk shipping rates do not decline significantly from current levels, our capital resources, including cash anticipated to be generated within the year, are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s capital expenditures relate to the purchase of vessels and interests in vessels, and to capital improvements to its vessels which are expected to enhance the revenue earning capabilities and safety of these vessels. The Company’s owned or partially owned and controlled fleet at June 30, 2022 includes: ten Panamax drybulk carriers (six of which are Ice-Class 1A); eight Supramax drybulk carriers, three Ultramax drybulk carriers (Two of which are Ice-Class IC), and four Post Panamax Ice Class 1A drybulk vessels.

In addition to vessel acquisitions that the Company may undertake in future periods, its other major capital expenditures include funding its program of regularly scheduled drydockings necessary to make improvements to its vessels, as well as to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations. This includes installation of ballast water treatment systems required under new regulations, the cost of which will be approximately $0.5 million to $0.7 million per vessel. The Company has some flexibility regarding the timing of dry docking, but the total cost is unpredictable. Funding expenses associated with these requirements will be met with cash from operations. The Company anticipates that this process of recertification will require it to reposition these vessels from a discharge port to shipyard facilities, which will reduce the Company’s available days and operating days during that period. The Company capitalized drydocking costs totaling approximately $4.9 million and $5.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company expensed drydocking costs of approximately $4,000 and $122,000, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates and assumptions of the Company are residual value of vessels, the useful lives of vessels, the percentage completion of spot voyages and estimated losses on our trade receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications of Voyage revenue and Charter revenue have been made to prior periods to conform to current period presentation.

Leases

Time charter in contracts

The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the charter hire payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is reflected as advance hire in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. As allowed by a practical expedient under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), the Company made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less, to forego recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on its balance sheet. For the quarter ending June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any time charter in contracts with terms greater than 12 months, as such charter hire expense presented on the consolidated statements of income are lease expenses for chartered in contracts less than 12 months.

Time charter out contracts

Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreed rate per day. The charterer has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The Company determined that all time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of ASC 842 because: (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset; (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights; and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had one vessel chartered to a customer under a time charter that contained a lease. This one lease's duration was 28 days. At June 30, 2022, lease payments due under this arrangement totaled approximately $125,000 and the time charter was due to be completed in 4 days.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had 15 vessels chartered to customers under time charters that contain leases. These 15 leases varied in original length from 24 days to 138 days. At June 30, 2021, lease payments due under these arrangements totaled

approximately $8,648,000 and each of the time charters were due to be completed in 65 days or less. The Company does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

Office leases

The Company has two non-cancelable office and office equipment leases. The resulting lease assets and liabilities are not material.

Revenue Recognition

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" or "despatch" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, with the amounts recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

The voyage contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers because the Company, as the shipowner, retains control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch.

During time charter agreements, the Company is paid to provide transportation services on a per day basis for a specified period of time. Revenues from time charters are earned and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter, the charterers have substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. As such, the Company has identified that time charter agreements contain a lease in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue is not earned when vessels are offhire.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Companies can apply the ASU immediately, however the guidance will only be available until December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. For most financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, loans and other instruments, this standard changes the current incurred loss model to a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard is effective for the Company at the beginning of 2023. Entities are required to apply the provisions of the standard through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the new guidance and its impact on its consolidated financial statements, and it intends to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2023.

(3) On April 20, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the m/v Bulk Pangaea for $8.6 million after brokerage commissions. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million and a loss on sale of vessel of 0.3 million, and the vessel was delivered to the buyer on June 23, 2022.

(4) Barge is owned by a 50% owned consolidated subsidiary.

(5) Refer to Note 7, "Commitments and Contingencies," of our Financial Statements for additional information related to the vessels under finance lease.

Long-lived Assets Impairment Considerations

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. If indicators of impairment are present, we perform an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be derived from the related long-lived assets. Our assessment is made at the asset group level, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of other groups of assets. The asset groups established by the Company are defined by vessel size and major characteristic or trade.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred related to the sale of a vessel, as the carrying value exceeded its fair value. On April 20, 2022, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement to sell the m/v Bulk Pangaea for a total net consideration of $8.6 million after brokerage commissions. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Company concluded that no triggering event had occurred during the during the second quarter of 2022 which would require impairment testing.

The Company determined there were no triggering events present during the six months ended June 30, 2021 which would require impairment testing.

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Forward freight agreements

The Company assesses risk associated with fluctuating future freight rates and, when appropriate, hedges identified economic risk with appropriate derivative instruments, specifically forward freight agreements (FFAs). These economic hedges do not usually qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis.

Fuel swap contracts

The Company continuously monitors the market volatility associated with bunker prices and seeks to reduce the risk of such volatility through a bunker hedging program. The Company enters into fuel swap contracts that are not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and as such, the usage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-period basis.

Interest rate cap

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s forward freight agreements and fuel swap contracts are based on market prices obtained from an independent third-party valuation specialist based on published indices. Such quotes represent the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. The interest rate caps contracts are valued using analysis obtained from independent third party valuation specialists based on market observable inputs, representing Level 2 assets.

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

	Asset Derivative
Derivative instruments	Balance Sheet Location	06/30/2022		12/31/2021

Bulk Concord Bareboat Charter Agreement dated January 27, 2022

In February 2022, the Company acquired the m/v Bulk Concord for $19.9 million, which is the estimated fair value, and simultaneously entered into a failed sale and leaseback of the vessel. The Company determined that the transfer of the vessel to the lessor was not a sale in accordance with ASC 606, because control of the vessel was not transferred to the lessor. The lease is classified as finance lease in accordance with ASC 842, because the lease includes a fixed price purchase option, which the Company expects to exercise at the end of the lease term. The minimum lease payments include imputed interest at 4.67%. The Company has the option to purchase the vessel at the end of the third year of the lease or thereafter, or in the case of default by the lessor, at any time during the lease term. In the event the Company has not exercised any of the purchase options during the term of the charter then the Company shall have a final purchase option to purchase the vessel at the end of the seventh year at a fixed price of $3.0 million. This lease is secured by the assignment of earnings and insurances and by a guarantee of the Company.

The following table provides details of the Company's future minimum lease payments under finance lease liabilities recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022.

OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

In September 2019, the Company entered into an LLC agreement for the formation of NBP, that, at inception is owned 75% by the Company and 25% by an independent third party. NBP was established for the purpose of constructing and owning four new-build ice class post panamax vessels. The third party contributed additional funding which increased their ownership of NBP to 50% at the time of delivery of the new-build ice class post panamax vessels. The agreement contains both put and call option provisions. Accordingly, the Company may be obligated, pursuant to the put option, or entitled to, pursuant to the call option, to purchase the third party's interest in NBP beginning anytime after September 2026. The put option and call option are at fixed prices which are not significantly different from each other, starting at $4.0 million per vessel on the fourth anniversary from completion and delivery of each vessel and declining to $3.7 million per vessel on or after the seventh anniversary from completion and delivery of each vessel. If neither put nor call option is exercised, the Company is obligated to purchase the vessels from NBP at a fixed price. Pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company has recorded the third party's interest in NBP as a Long term liabilities - Other. The Company took delivery of Nordic Nuluujaak, Nordic Qinngua, Nordic Sanngijuq and Nordic Siku in 2021. Earnings attributable to the third party’s interest in NBP are recorded in Income attributable to Non-controlling interest recorded as long-term liability.

On September 28, 2020, the Company acquired an additional one-third equity interest in its partially-owned consolidated subsidiary NBHC from its shareholders for $22.5 million, including a $15.0 million cash payment upon closing and $7.5 million of deferred consideration, at three-month LIBOR plus 3.5%, in three equal installments of $2.5 million due on the first, second, and third anniversaries of September 28, 2020. The Company expects to pay off the note payable in September of 2022. The deferred consideration is recorded in "Other current liabilities" for $5.0 million plus accrued interest on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022. NBHC will continue to be a consolidated entity in the Company’s consolidated financial statements pursuant to ASC 810-10.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Time charter in contracts

The Company charters in vessels to supplement its owned fleet to support its voyage charter operations. The Company hires vessels under time charters with third party vessel owners, and recognizes the charter hire payments as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter. Charter hire payments are typically made in advance, and the unrecognized portion is reflected as advance hire in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Under the time charters, the vessel owner is responsible for the vessel operating costs such as crews, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and stores. As allowed by a practical expedient under ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), the Company made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset for leases with a term of 12 months or less, to forego recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability on its balance sheet. For the quarter ending June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any time charter in contracts with terms greater than 12 months, as such charter hire expense presented on the consolidated statements of income are lease expenses for chartered in contracts less than 12 months.

Time charter out contracts

Charter revenue is earned when the Company lets a vessel it owns or operates to a charterer for a specified period of time. Charter revenue is based on the agreed rate per day. The charterer has the power to direct the use and receives substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the vessel. The Company determined that all time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of ASC 842 because: (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset; (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights; and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had one vessel chartered to a customer under a time charter that contained a lease. This one lease's duration was 28 days. At June 30, 2022, lease payments due under this arrangement totaled approximately $125,000 and the time charter was due to be completed in 4 days.

At June 30, 2021, the Company had 15 vessels chartered to customers under time charters that contain leases. These 15 leases varied in original length from 24 days to 138 days. At June 30, 2021, lease payments due under these arrangements totaled

approximately $8,648,000 and each of the time charters were due to be completed in 65 days or less. The Company does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

Office leases

The Company has two non-cancelable office and office equipment leases. The resulting lease assets and liabilities are not material.

Revenue Recognition

In a voyage charter contract, the charterer hires the vessel to transport a specific agreed-upon cargo for a single voyage, which may contain multiple load ports and discharge ports. The consideration in such a contract is determined on the basis of a freight rate per metric ton of cargo carried or occasionally on a lump sum basis. The charter party generally has a minimum amount of cargo. The charterer is liable for any short loading of cargo or "dead" freight. The voyage contract generally has standard payment terms of 95% freight paid within three days after completion of loading. The voyage charter party generally has a "demurrage" or "despatch" clause. As per this clause, the charterer reimburses the Company for any delays that exceed the agreed to laytime at the ports visited, with the amounts recorded as demurrage revenue. Conversely, the charterer is given credit if the loading/discharging activities happen within the allowed laytime which is known as despatch and results in a reduction of revenue. In a voyage charter contract, the performance obligations begin to be satisfied once the vessel begins loading the cargo. The Company determined that its voyage charter contracts consist of a single performance obligation of transporting the cargo within a specified time period. Therefore, the performance obligation is met evenly as the voyage progresses, and the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the voyage days from the commencement of the loading of cargo to completion of discharge.

The voyage contracts are considered service contracts which fall under the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers because the Company, as the shipowner, retains control over the operations of the vessel such as directing the routes taken or the vessel speed. The voyage contracts generally have variable consideration in the form of demurrage or despatch.

During time charter agreements, the Company is paid to provide transportation services on a per day basis for a specified period of time. Revenues from time charters are earned and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the charter, the charterers have substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. As such, the Company has identified that time charter agreements contain a lease in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue is not earned when vessels are offhire.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Companies can apply the ASU immediately, however the guidance will only be available until December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. For most financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, loans and other instruments, this standard changes the current incurred loss model to a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard is effective for the Company at the beginning of 2023. Entities are required to apply the provisions of the standard through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the new guidance and its impact on its consolidated financial statements, and it intends to adopt the guidance when it becomes effective in the first quarter of 2023.
