Revenues

Drybulk Carrier segment

Voyage revenues decreased by $31.5 million, or 78.8%, to $8.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $40.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. A decrease of $16.4 million, or 41.0%, is attributable to lower hire rates during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the relevant period in 2015 and a decrease of $15.6 million or 39.0%, is attributable to the decrease in total voyage days by 1,313, from 3,406 days to 2,093 days, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, due to the sale of 16 vessel and vessel owning companies during 2015. The decrease was partly offset by the amortization of above market acquired time charters which decreased by $0.5 million, or 1.2%, during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the relevant period in 2015.

Tanker segment

Voyage revenues decreased to $0 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $50.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. The decrease is due to the sale of our tanker fleet during 2015.

Offshore support segment

From October 21, 2015, we entered into the offshore support business segment through the acquisition of Nautilus Offshore Services Inc. which owns six Offshore Supply Vessels of which four are oil spill recovery vessels (OSRVs) and two are platform supply vessels (PSVs).

Equity in net losses of affiliated company

On June 8, 2015, following an equity offering of Ocean Rig, we lost our controlling financial interest and deconsolidated Ocean Rig from our financial statements. As a result of the above transaction, we present our share of losses from Ocean Rig amounting to $45.7 million including $162.2 million of impairment in Ocean Rig investment as a single amount in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $5.7 million. Our restricted cash relates to (i) bank deposits which are used to fund the loan installments coming due, (or "retention accounts"); (ii) bank deposits permanently blocked as cash collateral; and (iii) required minimum cash and cash equivalents, (or "minimum liquidity").

Our cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) decreased by $9.3 million, or 62.0%, to $5.7 million as of March 31, 2016, compared to $15.0 million as of December 31, 2015. The following movements of our cash and cash equivalents took place during the three month period ended March 31, 2016; outflows due to loan repayments of $19.5 million, outflows due to sale of vessel owning companies of $12.3 million and cash used in operating transactions of $5.5 million, partly offset by loan proceeds of $28.0 million and the decrease in our restricted cash amounting to $9.3 million. Given the prolonged market downturn in the drybulk segment and the continued depressed outlook on freight rates and vessels' market values, cash expected to be generated from operations or proceeds from the sale of vessels, assuming that current market charter hire rates would prevail in the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2017, will not be sufficient to cover our working capital deficit. 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 and grow our fleet, the maintenance of the quality of our vessels, compliance with international shipping standards, environmental laws and regulations, the funding of working capital requirements, principal repayments on outstanding loan facilities and the payment of dividends.

As of March 31, 2016, we had total indebtedness of $213.7 million under our senior secured credit facilities, excluding unamortized financing fees.

Please refer to the discussion on Long-term Debt as detailed in Note 11 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F (File No. 001-33922) for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Commission on April 27, 2016 and Note 10 of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

Cash flow

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. In determining net cash used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, net loss was adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items including $0.9 million of depreciation and amortization, $40.3 million of impairment loss and loss of sale of vessel owning companies, $0.3 million of amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs and $0.9 million of non-cash stock based compensation expenses. Moreover for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, net loss was also adjusted for the effects of non-cash items such as the gain in the change in fair value of derivatives of $0.9 million, the amortization and write offs of above market value acquired time charters of $6.9 million and the equity in net losses of Ocean Rig amounting to $45.7 million. The Company had net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $7.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. Net cash provided by operating activities was $32.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, due to outflows regarding the sale of vessel owning companies amounting to $12.3 million, partly offset by the decrease in our restricted cash amounting to $9.3 million. Net cash used in investing activities was $549.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, consisting mainly of the loan proceeds of $28.0 million, which were partly offset by repayments of $19.5 million of debt under our long-term credit facilities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $387.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015.

Financing activities

Long-term debt

As of March 31, 2016, we were in breach of certain financial covenants contained in our loan agreements, while three bank facilities have matured and we have not made the final balloon installments nor any other payments to date. Accordingly these three lenders have declared an event of default. For the remaining bank facilities, we have elected to suspend principal repayments and interest payments. These events of default may result in the lenders requiring immediate repayment of the loans. As a result of the aforementioned non-compliance and the cross-default provisions contained in all bank loan agreements, we have classified the bank loans, amounting to $213.7 million, as current liabilities. For more information, see "Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources – Breach of Covenants under Secured Credit Facilities" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Commission on April 27, 2016.

We are currently in negotiations with our lenders to obtain debt maturity extensions or restructuring of our debt facilities. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain our lenders' consent with respect to the aforementioned noncompliance under our credit facilities, or any non-compliance with specified financial ratios or financial covenants under future financial obligations we may enter into, or that we will be able to refinance or restructure any such indebtedness. If we fail to remedy, or obtain a waiver of, the breaches of the covenants or suspension of principal and interest payments discussed above, our lenders may accelerate our indebtedness under the relevant credit facilities, which could trigger the cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions contained in our other credit facilities. If our indebtedness is accelerated, it will be very difficult in the current financing environment for us to refinance our debt or obtain additional financing and we could lose our vessels if our lenders foreclose their liens. In addition, if the value of our vessels deteriorates significantly from their currently depressed levels, we may have to record further impairment adjustments to our financial statements, which would adversely affect our financial results and further hinder our ability to raise capital.

We expect that the lenders could demand payment of the loans under which we were in breach of certain financial and loan-to-value ratio covenants before their maturity, especially those loans where we are not paying scheduled loan installments as they fall due. We do not expect that cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from operations will be sufficient to repay our loans relating to our drybulk and offshore support fleet with cross-default provisions which amounted to $213.7 million, as at March 31, 2016, if such debt is accelerated by our lenders, as discussed above. For more information, see Note 10 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

The annual principal payments required to be made after March 31, 2016, including balloon payments, totaling $213.7 million, are as follows:

Twelve months ending	Total (in thousands)
due through March 31, 2017	$	213,667

Less: Financing fees		(347	)
Total debt	$	213,320

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Developments

On April 5, 2016, we sold all of our shares in Ocean Rig, to a subsidiary of Ocean Rig for total cash consideration of approximately $49.9 million. The sale proceeds were used to partly reduce the outstanding amount under the Revolving Credit Facility provided to us by an entity controlled by our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Mr. George Economou and for general corporate purposes. Further to the above, the outstanding balance under this facility was $11.8 million, as of that date. In addition, we reached an agreement under the Revolving Credit Facility whereby the lender agreed to, among other things (i) release its lien over the Ocean Rig shares and (ii) waive any events of default, subject to a similar agreement being reached with the rest of the lenders to us, in exchange for a 40% loan to value maximum loan limit, being introduced under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the interest rate under the loan was reduced to 4% plus LIBOR. This transaction was approved by the disinterested members of our Board of Directors on the basis of a fairness opinion and is subject to standard closing conditions. As of April 5, 2016, we no longer hold any equity interest in Ocean Rig.

On April 11, 2016, we announced that Petrobras has given notice of termination of the contract for the oil spill recovery vessel Indigo effective as of April 6, 2016. The contract of the Indigo was to expire on August 30, 2017.

An investigation is being 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 remains detained in Ningo, China since then.

On May 31, 2016, the Company's $628.8 million senior and junior secured loan facilities dated March 31, 2006, with a total outstanding balance of $97.2 million, became due and payable in full.

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 (File No. 001-33922) for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Commission on April 27, 2016.

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 three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

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:

·	the Company's 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;

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

·	the Company's continued borrowing availability under our debt agreements and compliance with the covenants contained therein;

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

·	the Company's ability to successfully employ both our existing drybulk and offshore support vessels;

the Company's 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,

·	the Company's future 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 shipping and offshore support market trends, charter rates and factors affecting supply and demand;

·	the Company's 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 the Company's 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 and vessel values; the failure of a seller 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 commodities, oil or petroleum products; changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers; scheduled and unscheduled drydocking; changes in the Company's 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 the Company's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 20–F.

DRYSHIPS INC.
Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2016
(Expressed in thousands of United States Dollars – except for daily fees, share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1.	Basis of Presentation and General Information:

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of 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 provider of international seaborne dry cargo and offshore support services and until June 8, 2015, also provided drilling services through Ocean Rig UDW Inc. (''Ocean Rig'').

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("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, 2015, filed with the SEC on April 27, 2016.

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, Ocean Rig has been considered as an affiliated entity and not as a controlled subsidiary of the Company. As a result, Ocean Rig has been accounted for under the equity method and its assets and liabilities are not consolidated in the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, and consequently, additional disclosures for Ocean Rig have not been included. On April 5, 2016, the Company sold all of its shares in Ocean Rig, to a subsidiary of Ocean Rig. As of April 5, 2016, the Company no longer holds any equity in Ocean Rig.

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 three-month period ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

F-6

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, 2015, filed with the SEC on April 27, 2016 (the "Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015"). There have been no material changes to these policies in the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

Consolidation: In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02 (ASU 2015-02): Consolidation - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the guidance as to whether an entity is a variable interest entity (VIE) or a voting interest entity and how related parties are considered in the VIE model. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-02, which did not impact the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting pronouncements :

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ("ASU 2016-08"), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The Amendments in ASU 2016-8 affect the guidance in the ASU 2014-09, which is not yet effective. ASU 2016-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early application is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on its consolidated financial statements and notes disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic718)" ("ASU 2016-09"), which involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the new standard, all excess income tax benefits and deficiencies are to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. An entity should also recognize excess tax benefits regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period. Excess Tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. In regards to forfeitures, the entity may make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within that reporting period, however early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact on its consolidated financial statements and notes disclosures.

F-7

3.	Going Concern:

As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in breach of certain financial covenants, while three bank facilities have matured and the Company has not made the final balloon installments nor any other payments to date. Accordingly these three lenders have declared an event of default. For the remaining bank facilities, the Company has elected to suspend principal repayments and interest payments. These events of default may result in the lenders requiring immediate repayment of the loans. As a result of this and of the cross default provisions contained in all bank loan agreements, the Company has classified the bank loans amounting to $213,667 as current liabilities (Note 10). As of March 31, 2016, the Company reported a working capital deficit of $146,340.

Given the prolonged market downturn in the drybulk segment and the continued depressed outlook on freight rates and vessels' market values, cash expected to be generated from operations or proceeds from the sale of vessels, assuming that current market charter hire rates would prevail in the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2017, will not be sufficient to cover the Company's working capital deficit. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, for a reasonable period of time.

In this respect, the Company, in an effort to deleverage its balance sheet and improve its liquidity position, sold all its tankers and 19 bulkers or bulker owning entities, while the remaining vessels, are classified as held for sale and are carried at fair value (Notes 6). In addition, in October 2015, the Company acquired Nautilus Offshore Services Inc., owner of six modern offshore support vessels to diversify the Company's asset base and enhance its cash flow generating ability (Note 7). The Company expects to finance its working capital deficit either with cash on hand, cash generated from operations, proceeds from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies and bank debt, or a combination thereof. In this context the Company has suspended principal repayment and interest payments to preserve cash liquidity and is currently engaged in discussions with its lenders for the restructuring of its debt facilities.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, the amounts and classification of liabilities, or any other adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

TMS Tankers' commercial management services included operations, sale and purchase, post-fixture administration, accounting, freight invoicing and insurance. Under the management agreements, TMS Tankers was entitled to a daily management fee per vessel of Euro 1,700 ($1,925 based on the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate at March 31, 2016), payable in equal monthly installments in advance and could automatically be adjusted each year to the Greek Consumer Price Index for the previous year by not less than 3% and not more than 5%. Effective January 1, 2012, the fixed management fee was adjusted by 3% to Euro 1,751 ($1,982 based on the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate at March 31, 2016). Effective January 1, 2015, the fixed management fee was adjusted by 3% to Euro 1,804 ($2,042 based on the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate at March 31, 2016).

In addition, on November 24, 2015, Mezzanine, entered into an agreement with VRG AS, which owned the remaining 2.56% issued and outstanding share capital of Nautilus, and acquired its equity stake.

Nautilus indirectly through its subsidiaries owns six Offshore Supply Vessels of which four are Oil Spill Recovery Vessels (OSRVs) and two are Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), all of which were on time charter to Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) until certain dates through 2017, at the day of acquisition. The vessels are managed by TMS Offshore Services, an entity controlled by the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. George Economou. (Note 4) The acquisition of Nautilus will allow the Company to expand and diversify its fleet.

The acquisition of the common shares of Nautilus was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company began consolidating Nautilus from October 21, 2015 (the date of acquisition), as of which date the results of operations of Nautilus were included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and on which the fair value of the non-controlling interest amounted to $1,500.

The purchase price allocation is as follows:

7.	Acquisition of Nautilus Offshore Services Inc.:

Goodwill included in the offshore support segment constitutes a premium paid by the Company over the fair value of the net assets of Nautilus, which is attributable to anticipated benefits from Nautilus's position to take advantage of the fundamentals of the offshore support market.

The carrying amounts of all receivables and payables acquired approximated their fair values at the acquisition date. The carrying amount of vessels of $99,370 was reduced by a fair value adjustment of $2,270 as of the acquisition date. In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired time charter contracts with Petrobras for the future time-chartered services of Nautilus, until certain dates through 2017. These contracts include fixed day rates that are above day rates available as of the acquisition date. After determining the aggregate fair values of these time-chartered contracts as of the acquisition date, the Company recorded the respective contract fair values on the consolidated balance sheet as non-current assets under "Fair value of above market acquired time charters". These will be amortized into revenues using the straight-line method over the respective contract periods (based on the respective contracts). On February 15, 2016, March 3, 2016 and April 11, 2016, the Company announced that Petrobras has given notice of termination of the contracts for the vessels Crescendo, Jubilee and Indigo , respectively, effective as of March 6, 2016, March 9, 2016 and April 6, 2016. The contracts of the vessels Crescendo, Jubilee and Indigo were to expire on January 8, 2017, April 25, 2017 and August 30, 2017. The termination of the acquired time charters from Petrobras, resulted in an amortization and write-off charge under "Fair value of above market acquired time charters" for the above vessels, of $6,102.

All above fair values were based upon available market data using management estimates and assumptions. The respective fairness opinion was prepared by a third party expert, based on management estimates and assumptions, making use of available market data and taking into consideration third party valuations of fleet acquired, performed on a charter free basis.

The amount amortized and written off as of March 31, 2016, amounted to $6,948.

Therefore the investment in Ocean Rig was written down to its fair value and a loss of $162,191 was recognized and included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

The Company's equity in the losses and capital transactions of Ocean Rig is 40.4% for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 and is shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, as "Equity in net losses of affiliated company" and amounted to a loss of $45,714.

10.	Long-term Debt - continued:

Term bank loans and credit facilities

The bank loans are payable in U.S. Dollars in quarterly and semi-annual installments with balloon payments due at maturity until March 2020. Interest rates on the outstanding loans as at March 31, 2016, are based on LIBOR plus a margin.

On March 31, 2016, the shares of the shareholders of the vessel owning companies of the vessels Rangiroa, Fakarava and Negonego were delivered to their new owners who also assumed the respective outstanding amount of the loan associated with the vessels, which had a balance of $102,070, as of that date.

The aggregate available undrawn amounts under the Company's facilities at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, were $30,000 and $13,250, respectively.

The weighted-average interest rates on the above outstanding debt were 6.00% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 and 3.27% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

The above loans are secured by a first priority mortgage over the Company's vessels, corporate guarantees, first priority assignments of all freights, earnings, insurances and requisition compensation and pledges of the shares of capital stock of certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The loans contain covenants that restrict, without the bank's prior consent, changes in management and ownership of the vessels, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and mortgages of vessels and changes in the general nature of the Company's business. The loans also contain certain financial covenants relating to the Company's financial position, operating performance and liquidity, including maintaining working capital above a certain level. The Company's secured credit facilities impose operating and negative covenants on the Company and its subsidiaries. These covenants may limit DryShips' subsidiaries' ability to, among other things, without the relevant lenders' prior consent (i) incur additional indebtedness, (ii) change the flag, class or management of the vessel mortgaged under such facility, (iii) create or permit to exist liens on their assets, (iv) make loans, (v) make investments or capital expenditures, and (vi) undergo a change in ownership or control.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in breach of certain financial covenants while three bank facilities have matured and the Company has not made the final balloon installments nor any other payments to date. Accordingly, these three lenders have declared an event of default. For the remaining bank facilities, the Company has elected to suspend principal repayments and interest payments. These events of default may result in the lenders requiring immediate repayment of the loans. As a result of this and of the cross default provisions contained in all of the Company's bank loan agreements, and in accordance with guidance related to the classification of obligations that are callable by the creditor, the Company has classified all of the amounts outstanding under its bank loans that were in breach as of March 31, 2016, amounting to $213,667, as current at March 31, 2016.

Total interest incurred on long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs, including capitalized interest, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, amounted to $84,336, and $3,158, respectively. These amounts net of capitalized interest are included in "Interest and finance costs" in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

11.	Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements:

ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position.

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheets.

The Company enters into interest rate swap transactions to manage interest costs and risk associated with changing interest rates with respect to its variable interest rate loans and credit facilities. The Company has entered in the past into forward freight agreements and foreign currency forward contracts in order to manage risks associated with fluctuations in charter rates and foreign currencies, respectively. All of the Company's derivative transactions are entered into for risk management purposes.

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had nine interest rate swap agreements outstanding, of $276,019 notional amount, maturing from May 2016 through July 2017.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments in the Balance Sheets:

		Asset Derivatives							Liability Derivatives
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments	Balance Sheet Location	December 31, 2015 Fair value			March 31, 2016 Fair value			Balance Sheet Location	December 31, 2015 Fair value			March 31, 2016 Fair value

11.	Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements - continued:

During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, the losses transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations were $137 and $104, respectively.

		Amount of Loss
		Three-month period ended March 31,
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments	Location of Loss Recognized	2015				2016
Interest rate swaps	Loss on interest rate swaps		$	(9,680	)		$	(557	)
Total			$	(9,680	)		$	(557	)

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.

In accordance with the provisions of relevant guidance, ten tanker vessels held for sale with a carrying amount of $587,271, were written down to their fair value as determined based on the agreed sale prices, resulting in a charge of $56,631, which was included in "Impairment loss and loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies" in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 (Note 6).

During 2016, the sale of the vessel owning companies of the Capesize vessels Fakarava, Rangiroa and Negonego resulted into a charge of $23,018 included in "Impairment loss and loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies" for the three month period ended March 31, 2016. (Note 6) An additional charge of $18,266 was also recognized as "Impairment loss and loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies", due to the reduction of the vessels' held for sale carrying amount to their fair value less cost to sell.

14.1	Legal proceedings

Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping and drilling 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.

The Company is not a party to any material litigation where claims or counterclaims have been filed against the Company other than routine legal proceedings incidental to its business.

14.2	Contractual charter revenue

16.	Segment Information:

The Company has currently two reportable segments from which it derives its revenues: Drybulk and Offshore support segments. The Company had also a Drilling segment until the deconsolidation of Ocean Rig on June 8, 2015 (Note 9) and a tanker segment until the sale of the whole tanker fleet during 2015 (Note 6). 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 Drilling business segment consisted of the deepwater drilling rig services of the drilling units through ownership of drilling units. The Tanker business segment consisted of vessels for the transportation of crude and refined petroleum cargoes.

The tables below present information about the Company's reportable segments as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2016. 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								Drilling Segment							Total

17.	Losses per Share:

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

	Three-month period ended March 31,
	2015								2016
	Loss (numerator)			Weighted- average number of outstanding shares (denominator)		Amount per share			Gain (numerator)			Weighted- average number of outstanding shares (denominator)		Amount per share
Net loss attributable to DryShips Inc		(59,157	)		-		-			(106,815	)		-		-
Less: Allocation of undistributed earnings to non-vested stock		(74	)		-		-			(337	)		-		-
Basic and diluted LPS
Loss attributable to common stockholders	$	(59,231	)		26,593,240	$	(2.23	)	$	(107,152	)		26,689,846	$	(4.01	)

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 amd 2016, 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.

18.	Non-controlling Interests:

The following table represents the changes in DryShips non-controlling interests:

	Three-month period ended March 31,

19.	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 and offshore support 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 will be exempt from United States federal income taxation with respect to U.S.-source shipping income if they satisfy the 50% Ownership Test. The Company believes that each of the Company's Republic of the Marshall Islands, Malta and Norway ship-owning subsidiaries will be entitled to exemption from U.S. federal income tax in respect of their U.S. source shipping income.

20.	Subsequent Events:

20.1 On April 5, 2016, the Company sold all of its shares in Ocean Rig, to a subsidiary of Ocean Rig for total cash consideration of approximately $49,911. The sale proceeds were used to partly reduce the outstanding amount under the Revolving Credit Facility provided to the Company by an entity controlled by the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. George Economou and for general corporate purposes. Further to the above, the outstanding balance under this facility was $11,750, as of that date. In addition, the Company reached an agreement under the Revolving Credit Facility whereby the lender agreed to, among other things (i) release its lien over the Ocean Rig shares and, (ii) waive any events of default, subject to a similar agreement being reached with the rest of the lenders to the Company, in exchange for a 40% loan to value maximum loan limit, being introduced under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, the interest rate under the loan was reduced to 4% plus LIBOR.
