Exhibit 1
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 
Unless otherwise specified herein, references to “OceanFreight Inc.” or the “Company” or “we” shall include OceanFreight Inc. and its applicable subsidiaries. The following management’s discussion and analysis is intended to discuss our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and their notes included therein.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors among which are the following: (i) charter demand and/or charter rates, (ii) production or demand for the types of dry bulk and petroleum products that are transported by the Company’s vessels, or (iii) operating costs including but not limited to changes in crew salaries, insurance, provisions, repairs, maintenance and overhead expenses. For additional information on Company’s financial condition and results of operation please refer to our Annual Report filed on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2008.

Operating results
 
We generate revenues by charging customers for the transportation of drybulk and crude oil cargoes using our vessels. All our vessels are currently employed under time charters to well-established and reputable charterers except for M/T Olinda which is currently trading in the spot market and will enter into a two-year time charter in the third quarter of 2008. We may employ vessels under spot-market charters in the future. A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel for a specific period of time during which the charterer pays substantially all of the voyage expenses, including port and canal charges and the cost of bunkers (fuel oil), but the vessel owner pays the vessel operating expenses, including the cost of crewing, insuring, repairing and maintaining the vessel, the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes. Under a spot-market charter, the vessel owner pays both the voyage expenses (less specified amounts covered by the voyage charterer) and the vessel operating expenses. Under both types of charters we pay commissions to ship brokers and to in-house brokers associated with the charterer, depending on the number of brokers involved with arranging the charter. Vessels operating in the spot-charter market generate revenues that are less predictable than time charter revenues but may enable us to capture increased profit margins during periods of improvements in drybulk and crude oil rates. However, we will be exposed to the risk of declining drybulk and crude oil rates when operating in the spot market, which may have a materially adverse impact on our financial performance. As of March 31, 2008, our charters have remaining terms ranging between 3 months and 54 months.
 

Factors Affecting our Results of Operations
We believe that the important measures for analyzing future trends in our results of operations consist of the following:

    Calendar days. Calendar days are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period including off hire days.
 
    Voyage days. Total voyage days for fleet are the total days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period net of off hire days.
 
    Fleet utilization. Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.
 
    TCE rates. Time charter equivalent, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a Vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by
 

 
 

 

dividing gross revenues (net of voyage expenses) by voyage days for the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the charterer under a time charter contract, as well as commissions. TCE is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods.

• Spot Charter Rates. Spot charter hire rates are volatile and fluctuate on a seasonal and year to year basis. The fluctuations are caused by imbalances in the availability of cargoes for shipment and the number of vessels available at any given time to transport these cargoes.

• Voyage and Time Charter Revenue. Our revenues will be driven primarily by the number of vessels in our fleet, the number of days during which our vessels operate and the amount of daily charter hire rates that our vessels earn under charters, which, in turn, will be affected by a number of factors, including:
·  
the duration of our charters;
·  
our decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;
·  
the amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels;
·  
the amount of time that our vessels spend in drydock undergoing repairs;
·  
maintenance and upgrade work;
·  
the age, condition and specifications of our vessels;
·  
levels of supply and demand in the dry-bulk and crude oil shipping industries; and
·  
other factors affecting spot market charter hire rates for dry-bulk and tanker carriers.

With the time charter of M/T Olinda all of our vessels will be employed in time charterers, which, on March 31, 2008, have a remaining duration of minimum 1.9 and maximum 2.2 years. We believe that these long-term charters provide better stability of earnings and consequently increase our cash flow visibility to our shareholders.

Imputed Deferred Revenue
We record any identified assets or liabilities associated with the acquisition of a vessel at fair value, determined by reference to market data. We value any asset or liability arising from the market value of assumed time charters as a condition of the original purchase of a vessel at the date when such vessel is initially deployed on its charter. The value of the asset or liability is based on the difference between the current fair value of a charter with similar characteristics as the time charter assumed and the net present value of contractual cash flows of the time charter assumed, to the extent the vessel capitalized cost does not exceed its fair value without a time charter contract. When the present value of contractual cash flows of the time charter assumed is greater than its current fair value, the difference is recorded as imputed prepaid revenue. When the opposite situation occurs, the difference is recorded as imputed deferred revenue. Such assets and liabilities are amortized as a reduction of, or an increase in, revenue, respectively, during the period of the time charter assumed. Trenton, Austin, Pierre and Topeka were acquired with an existing time charter at a below market rate.

Voyage Expenses
By employing our vessels on spot market voyage charters we incur voyage expenses that include port and canal charges and bunker expenses, unlike under time charter employment, where such expenses are assumed by the charterers.

As is common in the dry-bulk and crude oil shipping industries, we pay commissions ranging from 2.03% to 6.25% of the total daily charter hire rate of each charter to ship brokers associated with the charterers.

Vessel Operating Expenses
Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses. They additionally include management fees for the technical management of our fleet, which includes managing day-to-day vessel operations, performing general vessel maintenance, ensuring regulatory and classification society compliance, supervising the maintenance and general efficiency of vessels, arranging the employment and transportation of officers and crew, arranging and supervising dry docking and repairs, purchasing of spares and other consumable stores and other duties related to the operation of our vessels.

Our total vessel operating expenses will increase in the future with the enlargement of our fleet and the operation of our existing fleet for the full year. Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, including, for instance, developments relating to market prices for insurance, may also cause these expenses to increase.

General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses include the salaries and other related costs of the executive officers and other employees, our office rents, legal and auditing costs, regulatory compliance costs, other miscellaneous office expenses, long-term compensation costs, and corporate overhead.

Depreciation
We depreciate our vessels based on a straight line basis over the expected useful life of each vessel, which is 25 years from the date of their initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation is based on the cost of the vessel less its estimated residual value at the date of the vessel’s acquisition, which is estimated at U.S. dollars 200 per lightweight ton, which we believe is common in the dry-bulk and tanker shipping industries. Secondhand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its useful life is adjusted to end at the date such regulations become effective.

Drydocking
We expense the total costs associated with drydocking and special surveys in the period that they are incurred. Regulations or incidents may change the estimated dates of the next drydocking for our vessels.

Interest and finance costs
We have historically incurred interest expense and financing costs in connection with debt incurred to partially finance the acquisition of our vessels. As of March 31, 2008, we had $324 million of indebtedness outstanding under our $325 million Senior Secured Credit Facility. In addition, fees incurred for obtaining new loans or refinancing existing ones, including related legal and other professional fees, are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related debt. Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid or refinanced are expensed in the period the repayment or refinancing occurs.

Loss on derivative instruments
On January 29, 2008, the Company entered into two interest swap agreements with Nordea Bank Finland Plc to partially hedge its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on $316.5 million of its long term debt discussed in Notes 5 and 6 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, by converting the Company’s variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. Under the terms of the interest swap agreement the Company and the bank agreed to exchange at specified intervals, the difference between paying fixed rate at 3.55% and floating rate interest amount calculated by reference to the agreed principal amounts and maturities. The gain/loss derived from the derivative valuation movement is included in the consolidated income statement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We began operations in early June 2007 and therefore we cannot present a meaningful comparison of our results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 with the same period in 2007. During the same period in 2007 the Company had not yet commenced operations and, therefore, it was a development stage enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Companies”.

As discussed in our consolidated financial statements we have two reportable segments, the drybulk carriers segment and the tankers segment.

Three Month Period ended March 31, 2008

Voyage Revenues
Voyage revenue for 2008 was $38.4 million. For the first quarter of 2008 $29.2 million of our revenues were earned from our dry bulk carriers and $9.2 million from our tanker vessels.

 
4

 

Imputed Deferred Revenue
This resulted in a daily TCE rate of approximately $34,931. For cash flow purposes the Company received a TCE rate of $32,324 per day. The amortization for the first quarter of 2008 amounted to $2.6 million.

Voyage Expenses
In the first quarter of 2008 bunker expenses amounted to $1.7 million and port, canal and other charges to $0.5 million. In the first quarter of 2008, commissions totaled $1.7 million.

Vessel Operating Expenses
For the first quarter of 2008, our vessels’ operating expenses on a fleet basis were $6.2 million of which $4.7 million relates to the drybulk carriers and $1.5 million to the tanker vessels. The average operating cost on a fleet basis was $6,284 per day per vessel ($5,738 per day per drybulk carrier and $8,976 per day per tanker vessel).

General and Administrative Expenses
For the first quarter of 2008, we incurred $2.5 million of general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation
In the first quarter of 2008, we recorded $10.2 million of vessel depreciation charges on a fleet basis of which $8.2 million relate to the drybulk carriers and $2.0 million to the tanker vessels. We expect depreciation to remain stable on a period-by-period basis assuming that we do not acquire additional vessels, which would cause depreciation charges to increase.

Drydocking
In the first quarter of 2008 there were no drydocking costs.

Interest and finance costs
In the first quarter of 2008, interest expenses under our senior secured credit facility amounted to $3.8 million and the interest paid amounted to $3.9 million. Effective April 1, 2008, we have fixed the rates applicable to our outstanding borrowings to 4.85% inclusive of margin (see “Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures about market risk-Interest Rate Risk” below). The total amortization cost for the first quarter of 2008 amounted to $0.1 million.
 
Loss on derivative instruments
The fair value of the derivative instruments as of March 31, 2008 amounted to $5.3 million and is reflected in Loss on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statement of income and included in Derivative liability, current and non-current portion, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of the derivative instruments is determined in accordance with SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements”.  As of March 31, 2008, no fair value measurements for assets or liabilities under Level 1 or Level 3 were recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  See Note 6 to our Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of funds are equity provided by our shareholders, operating cash flows and long-term borrowings. Our principal use of funds has been capital expenditures to establish and grow our fleet, maintain the quality of our fleet, comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, fund working capital requirements, make principal repayments on outstanding loan facilities, and pay dividends. We expect to rely upon operating cash flows, long-term borrowings, as well as future equity financings to implement our growth plan.
 
We have financed our capital requirements with the issuance of equity in connection with our initial public offering, cash from operations, and borrowings under our long-term arrangements.

Our practice has been to acquire drybulk and tanker carriers using a combination of funds received from equity investors and bank debt secured by mortgages on our vessels. Our business is capital intensive and its future success will depend on our ability to maintain a high-quality fleet through the acquisition of newer vessels and the selective

sale of older vessels. These acquisitions will be principally subject to management’s expectation of future market conditions as well as our ability to acquire drybulk carriers or tankers on favorable terms.

Cash Flows

The following table presents cash flow information for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The information was derived from the consolidated statements of cash flows of OceanFreight and is expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.0 million. Substantially all our cash from operating activities is from revenues generated under our charter agreements.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $65.7 million, which represents the amounts we paid to acquire M/T Olinda.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $52.2 million. During the first quarter of 2008, (a) we drew down $63.4 million under our long-term debt arrangements that partially financed the acquisition of M/T Olinda and (b) we paid dividends and financing costs of $11.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

EBITDA:

EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items. OceanFreight uses EBITDA because it believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and because OceanFreight believes that EBITDA presents useful information to investors regarding OceanFreight’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. OceanFreight also uses EBITDA in its credit agreement to measure compliance with covenants.

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of OceanFreight’s results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs, and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets that are depreciated and amortized may need to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirement for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of OceanFreight’s performance.

The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to EBITDA:

Working Capital Position

On March 31, 2008, OceanFreight’s current assets totaled $28.6 million while current liabilities totaled $46.7 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $18.1 million. We believe that our existing fleet employment under fixed-rate charters will generate sufficient cash during 2008 to fund the required principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness and provide for the normal working capital requirements for at least one year after March 31, 2008.

Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures about market risk
 
Foreign Currency Risk  
 
We generate all of our revenues in U.S. dollars, but incur approximately 5.35% our expenses in currencies other than U.S. dollars. For accounting purposes, expenses incurred in Euros are converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of each transaction. At March 31, 2008, the outstanding accounts payable balance denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar was not material.
 
Inflation Risk
 
We do not consider inflation to be a significant risk to operating or voyage costs in the current economic environment. However, in the event that inflation becomes a significant factor in the global economy, inflationary pressures would result in increased operating, voyage and financing costs.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
The shipping industry is a capital intensive industry, requiring significant amounts of investment. Much of this investment is provided in the form of long-term debt. Our debt usually contains interest rates that fluctuate with the financial markets. Increasing interest rates could adversely impact future earnings.

The table below provides information about our long term debt and derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments at March 31, 2008 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.  See notes 5 and 6 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, which provide additional information with respect to our existing debt agreements and derivative financial instruments.  For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For derivative financial instruments, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contracts. Weighted average interest rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date.

(2) On January 29, 2008, the Company entered into two interest swap agreements with Nordea, the Company’s lending bank, to partially hedge its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on an aggregate notional amount of $316.5 million, decreasing in accordance with the debt repayments, by converting the variable rate of its debt to fixed rate for a period for five years, effective April 1, 2008.  Under the terms of the interest swap agreement the Company and the bank agreed to exchange at specified intervals, the difference between paying fixed rate at 3.55% and floating rate interest amount calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts and maturities. These

instruments have not been designated as cash flow hedges, under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and consequently, the changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded through earnings.  The swap agreement expires in April 2013.

Research and development, patents and licenses

We incur from time to time expenditures relating to inspections for acquiring new vessels that meet our standards. Such expenditures are insignificant and they are expensed as they incur.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in thousands of United States Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1.     Basis of Presentation and General Information:
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanFreight Inc. (“OceanFreight”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). OceanFreight was incorporated on September 11, 2006 under the laws of the Marshall Islands. In late April 2007, OceanFreight completed its Initial Public Offering in the United States under the United States Securities Act of 1993, as amended, the net proceeds of which amounted to $216,794. The Company’s common shares are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company started generating revenue from its planned principal operations of seaborne transportation of commodities in early June 2007 when it took delivery of four drybulk carriers. Accordingly, during the period from its inception to the date it commenced operations, the Company was a development stage enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Companies”.

The Company is engaged in the marine transportation of drybulk and crude oil cargoes through the ownership and operation of drybulk and tanker vessels.

The Company has contracted the day-to-day technical management of its fleet to two managers who have been engaged under separate management agreements. The eight Panamax drybulk carriers are managed by Wallem Ship Management Ltd. (“Wallem”), a technical and commercial management company and the Capesize dry-bulk and the Aframax and Suezmax tanker vessels are managed by a related party, Cardiff Marine Inc. (“Cardiff”) (Note 3).

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form F-20 filed with the Securities Exchange and Commission on March 7, 2008.  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, 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, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.

2.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines and provides guidance as to the measurement of fair value. This statement creates a hierarchy of measurement and indicates that, when possible, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. SFAS No. 157 applies when assets or liabilities in the financial statements are to be measured at fair value, but does not require additional use of fair value beyond the requirements in other accounting principles. The statement was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008, excluding certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, for which the statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and its adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  See Note 6 Financial Instruments.
 
 In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which permits companies to report certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value.  SFAS 159 was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008 at which time the Company could elect to apply the standard prospectively and measure certain financial instruments at fair value.  The Company has evaluated the guidance contained in SFAS 159, and has elected not to report any existing financial assets or liabilities at fair value that are not already reported; therefore, the adoption of the statement had no impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.  The Company retains the ability to elect the fair value option for certain future assets and liabilities acquired under this new pronouncement.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company acquired and took delivery of eight Panamax drybulk carriers the Austin, Pierre, Trenton, Helena, Lansing, Topeka, Richmond and Augusta, a Capesize drybulk carrier the Juneau, and an Aframax tanker the Pink Sands, for a total consideration of $467,143. The acquisition of the Company’s vessels was financed from the proceeds of the bank loans discussed in Note 5, the net proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering discussed in Note 1 and initial capital. The Memoranda of Agreement associated with the acquisition of four of the above vessels, Austin, Pierre, Trenton and Topeka stipulated that the vessels were to be delivered to the Company with their existing charter parties, expiring in 2010. The assumed charters were below market charter rates at the time of the delivery and, accordingly, a portion of the consideration paid for the vessels was allocated to the assumed charters to the extent the vessel capitalized cost would not exceed its fair value without a time charter contract.

The Company recorded imputed deferred revenue totaling $31,346, with a corresponding increase in the vessels’ purchase price, which is being amortized to revenue on a straight-line basis during the remaining duration of the corresponding charter. The amortization of imputed deferred revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 amounted to $2,565 and is separately reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company acquired and took delivery of a Suezmax tanker vessel the Olinda for a total consideration of $65,665.

The Company’s vessels have been pledged as collateral to secure the bank loan discussed in Note 5.

The Company and Nordea Bank completed the syndication of the Credit Facility on February 15, 2008 which resulted in certain amendments to repayment terms and financial covenants, increased interest margins and commitment fees on the undrawn portion of the Credit Facility.
 
The amended Credit Facility is comprised of the following two Tranches and bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin.
 
Tranche A is a reducing revolving credit facility in a maximum amount of $200,000. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Company had utilized $199,000 (i) for the repayment of the existing loan of $118,000; (ii) to partially finance the acquisition of M/V Richmond in the amount of $47,000; (iii) to partially finance the M/T Pink Sands in the amount of $30,000; and (iv) for working capital in the amount of $4,000.  Tranche A is repayable in 16 consecutive semi-annual installments, the first of which was due on April 1, 2008 in an amount of $7,500, the second in an amount of $8,500, the following 13 in the amount of $11,000 each and the 16th installment in an amount of $40,000.
 
Tranche B is a Term Loan Facility in a maximum amount of $125,000 to be used for the financing of up to 100% of the purchase price of additional vessels. As of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the Company had utilized $125,000 and $61,600, respectively, to partially finance the acquisition of M/V Augusta and M/T Olinda, respectively. Tranche B is repayable in 14 equal consecutive semi annual installments in the amount of $6,944 each plus a 15th installment in the amount of $27,778. The first installment is due on January 1, 2009.
 
The Credit Facility is secured with first priority mortgages over the vessels, first priority assignment of vessels’ insurances and earnings, specific assignment of the time-charters, first priority pledges over the operating and retention accounts, corporate guarantee and pledge of shares. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.45% per annum payable quarterly in arrears on the un-drawn portion of the Credit Facility.
 
The loan agreement includes among other covenants,  financial covenants requiring (i) the ratio of funded debt to the sum of funded debt plus shareholders’ equity not to be greater than 0.70 to 1.00; (ii) effective July 1, 2008, the liquidity not to be less than $500 multiplied by the number of vessels owned; (iii) effective December 31, 2007, the ratio of EBITDA to net interest expense at each quarter end be less than 2.50 to 1 and (iv) the aggregate fair market value of the vessels be not less than 140% of the aggregate outstanding balance under the loan plus any unutilized commitment under Tranche A. The Company is permitted to pay dividends under the loan so long as an event of default has not occurred and will not occur upon the payment of such dividends. The Company is prohibited from drawing down on either Tranche if leverage as a result of the incurrence of the additional debt exceeds 60%.

6.     Financial instruments:
 
On January 29, 2008, the Company entered into two interest swap agreements with Nordea, the Company’s lending bank, to partially hedge its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on a notional amount of $316,500, decreasing in accordance with the debt repayments, by converting the variable rate of its debt to fixed rate for a period for 5 years, effective April 1, 2008.  Under the terms of the interest swap agreement the Company and the bank agreed to exchange at specified intervals, the difference between paying fixed rate at 3.55% and floating rate interest amount calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts and maturities. These instruments have not been designated as cash flow hedges under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and consequently, changes in their fair value are recorded through earnings.  The fair values of the derivative instruments, determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements”, are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined. The fair value of these instruments at March 31, 2008 amounted to $5,296 and is reflected in Loss on derivative instruments in the accompanying consolidated statement of income and included in Derivative liability current and non-current portion in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  As of March 31, 2008, no fair value measurements for assets or liabilities under Level 1 or Level 3 were recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
