which will increase to
14%
thereafter (Note

). The Company intends to fund its working capital requirements via cash on hand and cash flows from operations. In the event that these are
not
sufficient the Company
may
also use funds from debt refinancing, debt balloon payment refinancing and equity offerings, sell vessels (where equity will be released) and drawdown funds under a commitment from a company controlled by the Pittas family and affiliated with our Chief Executive Officer, if required, among other options.   The Company believes it will have adequate funding through the sources described above and, accordingly, it believes it has the ability to continue as a going concern and finance its obligations as they come due over the next
twelve
months following the date of the issuance of these financial statements. Consequently, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
