Revenues
Drybulk Carrier segment
Voyage revenues decreased by $78.0 million, or 78.0%, to $22.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $100.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. A decrease of $29.4 million, or 29.4%, is attributable to lower hire rates during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the relevant period in 2015 and a decrease of $50.0 million or 50.0%, is attributable to the decrease in total voyage days by 5,038, from 10,221 days to 5,183 days, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, due to the sale of 16 vessel and vessel owning companies during 2015 and five vessels and vessel owning companies during 2016. The decrease was partly offset by the amortization of above market acquired time charters which decreased by $1.4 million, or 1.4%, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the relevant period in 2015.
Tanker segment
Voyage revenues decreased to $0 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, as compared to $120.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 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).

As a result, Ocean Rig was accounted for under the equity method as of June 8, 2015.

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 $41.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, including $162.2 million of impairment in Ocean Rig investment and $0.8 million of gain due to the sale of our shares in Ocean Rig on April 5, 2016, including $0.3 million related to other comprehensive income, as a single amount in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.  Our share of earnings from Ocean Rig for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, amounting to $37.4 million.
Liquidity
As of September 30, 2016, we had cash (all of it restricted) of $5.6 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 (including restricted cash) decreased by $9.4 million, or 62.7%, to $5.6 million as of September 30, 2016, compared to $15.0 million as of December 31, 2015. The following movements of our cash and cash equivalents took place during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016; outflows due to loan repayments of $70.4 million , outflows due to the sale of vessel owning companies of $8.6 million and cash used in operating transactions of $18.1 million, partly offset by proceeds of $49.9 million from the sale of Ocean Rig shares, loan proceeds of $28.0 million, proceeds from the sale of preferred stock of $9.9 million and the decrease in our restricted cash amounting to $9.4 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2016, we had total indebtedness of $200.4 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 $18.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. In determining net cash used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, net loss was adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items including $2.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $41.8 million of impairment loss and gain/loss of sale of vessels and vessel owning companies and other, $0.7 million of amortization of deferred financing costs and $2.7 million of non-cash stock based compensation expenses. Moreover for the   nine-month period ended September 30, 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 $2.2 million, the amortization of above market value acquired time charters of $3.5 million and the equity in net losses of Ocean Rig amounting to $41.5 million. The Company had net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $12.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. Net cash provided by operating activities was $229.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $50.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, due to the proceeds of $49.9 million from the sale of our shares in Ocean Rig and the decrease in our restricted cash amounting to $9.4 million, partly offset by outflows regarding the sale of vessel owning companies amounting to $8.6 million . Net cash used in investing activities was $500.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015.
Net cash used in financing activities   was $32.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, due to repayments of $70.4 million of debt under our long-term credit facilities which were partly offset by the loan proceeds of $28.0 million and proceeds from the sale of preferred stock amounted to $9.9 million . Net cash used in financing activities was $188.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015.
Financing activities
Long-term debt
As of September 30, 2016, we were in breach of certain financial covenants contained in our loan agreements, while five bank facilities have matured and we have not made the final balloon installments nor any other payments to date. Accordingly the respective 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 $200.4 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.
9


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 $200.4 million , as at September 30, 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.
The annual principal payments required to be made after September 30, 2016, including balloon payments, totaling $200.4 million, are as follows:

Recent Developments

On October 5, 2016 and November 7, 2016, we issued 2,627 common shares (39,405 before the 1-for-15 reverse stock split) and 2,715 common shares (40,719 before the 1-for-15 reverse stock split), respectively, as dividends to our Series C Convertible Preferred stock.
-
On October 5, 2016 and October 18, 2016, we entered into sales agreements for our two Panamax vessels, the Sonoma and Sorrento , respectively, to unaffiliated buyers for an aggregate price of $10.9 million. All of the gross proceeds from the sales will be used to pay down the associated loan facilities. The vessels are scheduled to be delivered to their new owners during November 2016.
 
 
 
 
 
-
On October 31, 2016, we sold the shares of the owning companies of two Panamax vessels the Amalfi and Samatan , along with the associated bank debt, for an aggregate price of $15.0 million, to entities controlled by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. George Economou. As part of the transaction, we entered into an agreement to increase the Revolving Credit Facility with Sifnos Shareholders Inc. The Revolving Credit Facility was amended to increase the maximum available amount by $5.0 million to $75.0 million and to give us an option within 365 days to convert $7.5 million of the outstanding loan into our common shares. Following the above transaction, the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility was $69.4 million. This transaction was approved by the independent members of our Board of Directors on the basis of vessel valuations and a fairness opinion.
-
On November 7, 2016, our previously sold to unaffiliated buyer Panamax vessel Ocean Crystal was delivered to its new owners. All of the gross proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the associated loan facility.

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.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 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 through April 4, 2016, Ocean Rig was considered as an affiliated entity and not as a controlled subsidiary of the Company. As a result, Ocean Rig was accounted for under the equity method and its assets and liabilities were not consolidated in the Company's balance sheet. On April 5, 2016, the Company sold all of its shares in Ocean Rig, to a subsidiary of Ocean Rig and as of this date, the Company no longer holds any equity interest in Ocean Rig. Accordingly, additional disclosures for Ocean Rig have not been included, in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.
On March 11, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split on its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split seven fractional shares were cashed out. Furthermore, on August 15, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split on its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split five fractional shares were cashed out. Finally, on November 1, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split on its issued common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split nine fractional shares were cashed out. All share and per share amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes give effect to these reverse stock splits retroactively, for all periods presented.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies:
A discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies can be found in the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, other than the adoption of the accounting standard update discussed below.
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 September 30, 2016, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-02, which did not impact the interim condensed 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 (Topic 718)" ("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.
Other accounting pronouncements recently issued but not yet adopted include ASU 2016 – 01 "Financial Instruments – Overall", ASU 2016 – 02 "Leases (Topic 842)", ASU 2016 – 03 "Intangibles – Goodwill and other", ASU 2016 – 07 "Investments – Equity method and Joint Ventures", ASU 2016 -10 "Revenue from contracts with customers", ASU 2016 – 12 "Revenue from contracts with customers", ASU 2016-13 —"Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments",   ASU 2016-15 —"Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" and ASU 2016-17 —"Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control".
The Company is evaluating the above pronouncements. The adoption of these pronouncements is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3.   Going Concern:
As of September 30, 2016, the Company was in breach of certain financial covenants, while five bank facilities have matured and the Company has not made the final balloon installments nor any other payments to date. Accordingly the respective 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 $200,367 as current liabilities (Note 10). As of September 30, 2016, the Company reported a working capital deficit of $90,182.
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 September 30, 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 21 bulkers or bulker owning entities, while the remaining drybulk vessels, are classified as held for sale and are carried at fair value (Note 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). Furthermore, on June 8, 2016, the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor for the sale of 5,000 newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Shares, warrants to purchase 5,000 Series C Convertible Preferred Shares and 2,483 (148,998 before the 1-for-4 and 1-for-15 reverse stock splits) common shares. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting offering fees and expenses, were approximately $5,000 . On August 10, 2016 , the Company further received $5,000 from the exercise of all of the warrants, therefore, the total proceeds from the transaction amounted to $10,000. 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, bank debt and equity offerings, 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.

Under this agreement, the lender had the right to convert a portion of the outstanding Revolving Credit Facility into shares of the Company's common stock or into shares of common stock of Ocean Rig held by the Company. The conversion will be based on the volume weighted average price of either stock plus a premium. Furthermore, the Company, as the borrower under this agreement, had the right to convert $10,000 of the outstanding Revolving Credit Facility into 66,667 (4,000,000 before the 1-for-4 and 1-for-15 reverse stock splits) preferred shares of the Company.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock had the right to vote with the common shares on all matters on which the common shares were entitled to vote as a single class and the shares of Series B Preferred Stock had five votes per share. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock were to be mandatorily converted into common shares of DryShips on a one to one basis within three months after the issuance thereof or any earlier date selected by the Company in its sole discretion.

7.   Acquisition of Nautilus Offshore Services Inc.:
On October 21, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Mezzanine Financing Investment III Ltd. ("Mezzanine") and Oil and Gas Ships Investor Limited (Oil and Gas), which owned in aggregate, directly or indirectly, 97.44% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Nautilus Offshore Services Inc. ("Nautilus"), for a purchase price of $87,000 plus the assumption of approximately $33 million of net debt. As part of the acquisition cost, the Company also paid $3,568 for the working capital of Nautilus as at September 30, 2015, as agreed between the parties. 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 consolidated statement of operations and on which the fair value of the non-controlling interest amounted to $1,500.

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 had 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, respectively. The termination of the related acquired time charters from Petrobras, resulted in an amortization and write-off charge, 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 amortization and write offs of the fair value of the above market acquired time charter contracts as of September 30, 2016, amounted to $3,491 and $5,161 and are included to "Voyage and time charter revenue" and "Impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies and other", respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

10.   Long-term Debt - continued:
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 September 30, 2016, the Company was in breach of certain financial covenants while five bank facilities have matured and the Company has not made the final balloon installments nor any other payments to date. Accordingly , the respective 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 September 30, 2016, amounting to $200,367, including $3,449 of overdue interest, as current at September 30, 2016.
Total interest incurred on long-term debt and amortization of debt issuance costs, including capitalized interest, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, amounted to $175,776, and $6,615, respectively . These amounts net of capitalized interest are   included in "Interest and finance costs" in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The annual principal payments required to be made after September 30, 2016, including balloon payments, totaling $200,367, are as follows:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (all of which is restricted at the balance sheet dates), 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, gain/loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies and other" in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 (Note 6).
Furthermore, the impairment review performed for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, indicated that one of the Company's vessels, with a carrying amount of $95,937 should be written down to its fair value as determined based on the valuations of the independent valuators, resulting in an impairment charge of $83,937, which was included in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 (Note 6).
Following the sale agreements for the sale of 14 vessel owning companies and three vessels, (Note 6)  the associated 17 vessels held for sale with carrying amount of $748,320, were written down to their fair values as determined based on the agreed sale prices resulting in a charge of $375,090, included in " Impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies and other"  in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.
Furthermore due to their classification as held for sale (Note 7), 22 vessels, were written down to their fair value as determined based on the valuations of the independent valuators, resulting in a charge of $422,404, which was included in "Impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies and other" in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.
During 2016, the sale of the owning companies of the Capesize vessels' Fakarava, Rangiroa and Negonego   resulted into a charge of $23,018 and the sale of the vessel Coronado resulted into a gain of $1,089, included in "Impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies and other " for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 (Note 6). An additional charge of $18,266 was also recognized as "Impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies and other", due to the reduction of the vessels' held for sale carrying amount to their fair value less cost to sell, as of March 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the market indications for the vessels' held for sale values were not altered significantly from March 31, 2016, therefore no further impairment charge was recognized. However, due to the sale of the vessels, Ocean Crystal , Sonoma and Sorrento, (Note 6), the company revalued the above vessels with reference to the purchase prices as concluded in the respective Memoranda of Agreement and recognized a gain amounted to $3,020 and included in "Impairment loss, gain/loss from sale of vessels and vessel owning companies and other".

14.2   Contractual charter revenue
Future minimum contractual charter revenue, based on vessels committed to non-cancelable, long-term time contracts as of September 30, 2016, amount to $17,033 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2017. This amount does not include any assumed off-hire.
Under seven of the Company's charter agreements, the charterer had the option to (i) acquire the vessels at fair market value as determined by two independent brokers, at the date that the options were exercised, less $5,000 per vessel or, (ii) to require a cash payout of $5,000 per charter agreement in which case the charter agreement would automatically be terminated on the date of completion of the current voyage. These options were exercisable beginning late March 2015 and throughout the term of the charter agreements which expired through 2020. On June 25, 2015, the Company concluded an agreement with the charterer under which, the charterer agreed to forgo the exercise of the purchase option under the seven charter agreements in exchange for a reduction of $35,000 in overdue receivables, $5,000 cash payment to the Company and write off the remaining $16,471 in overdue receivables as of May 31, 2015, against to "Voyage revenues". Out of the $35,000, the $6,759 has been amortized, while the remaining $28,241 were written off as "Loss on contract cancellation".

On June 8, 2016, the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor for the sale of 5,000 newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Shares warrants to purchase 5,000 Series C Convertible Preferred Shares and 2,483 common shares (148,998 before the 1-for-4 and 1-for-15 reverse stock splits). The securities were issued to the investor through a registered direct offering. The total net proceeds from the offering, after deducting offering fees and expenses, were approximately $5,000. On August 10, 2016, the Company further received $5,000 from the exercise of all of the warrants, therefore the total proceeds from the transaction amounted to $10,000. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock accrues cumulative dividends on a monthly basis at an annual rate of 8%. Such accrued dividends are payable in shares of common stock or in cash at the Company's option, or in a combination of cash and common shares.
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 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.

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 October 5, 2016 and November 7, 2016,  the Company issued 2,627 common shares (39,405 before the 1-for-15 reverse stock split) and 2,715 common shares (40,719 common shares before the 1-for-15 reverse stock split), respectively, as dividends to its Series C Convertible Preferred stock.
20.2 On October 5, 2016 and October 18, 2016, the Company entered into sales agreements for its two Panamax vessels, the Sonoma and Sorrento , respectively, to unaffiliated buyers for an aggregate price of $10,850 . All of the gross proceeds from the sales will be used to pay down the associated loan facilities. The vessels are scheduled to be delivered to their new owners during November 2016.
20.3 On October 31, 2016, the Company sold the shares of the owning companies of two Panamax vessels the Amalfi and Samatan, along with the associated bank debt, for an aggregate price of $15,000, to entities controlled by the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. George Economou. As part of the transaction, the Company entered into an agreement to increase the Revolving Credit Facility with Sifnos Shareholders Inc . The Revolving Credit Facility was amended to increase the maximum available amount by $5,000 to $75,000 and to give the Company an option within 365 days to convert $7,500 of the outstanding loan into the Company's common shares. Following the above transaction, the outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility was $69,444. This transaction was approved by the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors on the basis of vessel valuations and a fairness opinion.
20.4 On November 7, 2016, the previously sold to unaffiliated buyer Panamax vessel Ocean Crystal was delivered to its new owners. All of the gross proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the associated loan facility.
20.5 As of November 9, 2016, 2,813 of the Company's 5,000 Series C Convertible Preferred stock, were converted to 433,552 common shares (6,503,278 before 1-for-15 reverse stock split), including the respective dividends.
