1                                        Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The reporting and functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar.

Danaos Corporation (“Danaos”), formerly Danaos Holdings Limited, was formed on December 7, 1998 under the laws of Liberia and is presently the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the companies listed below. Danaos Holdings Limited was redomiciled in the Marshall Islands on October 7, 2005. In connection with the redomiciliation, the Company changed its name to Danaos Corporation. On October 14, 2005, the Company filed and the Marshall Islands accepted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. The authorized capital stock of Danaos Corporation is 750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01. Refer to Note 12, Stockholders’ Equity.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) of Danaos and subsidiaries contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2013, the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Danaos’ Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and operation of vessels. Danaos conducts its operations through the vessel owning companies whose principal activity is the ownership and operation of containerships that are under the exclusive management of a related party of the Company.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) represent the consolidation of the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Inter-company transaction balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the companies are eliminated.

The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities as defined in the authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

The condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) have been prepared to reflect the consolidation of the companies listed below. The historical balance sheets and results of operations of the companies listed below have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income, cash flows and stockholders’ equity at and for each period since their respective incorporation dates.

The consolidated companies are referred to as “Danaos,” or “the Company.”

As of June 30, 2013, Danaos included the vessel owning companies (the “Danaos Subsidiaries”) listed below. All vessels are container vessels:

(1)   Vessel subject to charterer’s option to purchase vessel after first eight years of time charter term for $78.0 million.

2                 Significant Accounting Policies

All accounting policies are as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance for reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendment requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods presented, including interim periods. The amended guidance was effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of the new guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3                 Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is comprised of the following (in thousands):

The Company was required to maintain cash of $2.8 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, in a retention bank account as collateral for the upcoming scheduled debt payments of its KEXIM and KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facilities, which were recorded under current assets in the Company’s Balance Sheets.

On March 27, 2013, the Company has entered into an agreement with the lenders under the HSH Nordbank AG-Aegean Baltic Bank-Piraeus Bank credit facility. The agreement provides the Company the option to sell, for cash, up to 9 mortgaged vessels (the Henry, the Pride, the Independence, the Honour, the Elbe, the Hope, the Lotus, the Kalamata and the Komodo) with the sale proceeds less sale commissions from such vessels’ sales to be deposited in a restricted cash account and used to finance the acquisition of new containership vessels no later than December 31, 2013. Any funds remaining in this restricted cash account after that date will be applied towards prepayment of the respective credit facility. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had concluded the sales of the Henry, the Pride, the Independence, the Honour and the Elbe and has acquired a 2,452 TEU containership, the Amalia C, built in 1998 for a contract price of $6.6 million and a 2,602 TEU containership, the Niledutch Zebra, built in 2001 for a contract price of $10.1 million. As of June 30, 2013, an amount of $15.6 million was recorded as non-current restricted cash with respect to this agreement.

Furthermore, the Company recorded non-current restricted cash of $0.4 million as cash collateral for one of its outstanding swaps as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

4                 Fixed assets, net

Fixed assets consist of vessels. Vessels’ cost, accumulated depreciation and changes thereto were as follows (in thousands):

i.                                          On February 13, 2013, the Company sold and delivered the Independence. The gross sale consideration was $7.0 million. The Independence was 26 years old.

ii.                                       On February 28, 2013, the Company sold and delivered the Henry. The gross sale consideration was $6.1 million. The Henry was 27 years old.

iii.                                    On March 25, 2013, the Company sold and delivered the Pride. The gross sale consideration was $6.5 million. The Pride was 25 years old.

iv.                                   On May 14, 2013, the Company sold and delivered the Honour. The gross sale consideration was $9.1 million. The Honour was 24 years old.

iv.                                   On May 14, 2013, the Company acquired a 2,452 TEU containership, the Amalia C, built in 1998 for a contract price of $6.6 million.

v.                                      On June 13, 2013, the Company sold and delivered the Elbe. The gross sale consideration was $5.6 million. The Elbe was 22 years old.

vi.                                   On June 25, 2013, the Company acquired a 2,602 TEU containership, the Niledutch Zebra, built in 2001 for a contract price of $10.1 million.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $129.6 million in relation to thirteen of its older vessels (including vessels sold in 2013), which were laid up or on short-term charters in the spot market. Fair value of each vessel was determined with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers. There was no impairment loss recognized for the three or six months ended June 30, 2013.

The residual value (estimated scrap value at the end of the vessels’ useful lives) of the fleet was estimated at $415.1 million as of June 30, 2013 and $431.9 million as of December 31, 2012. The Company has calculated the residual value of the vessels taking into consideration the 10 year average and the 5 year average of the scrap. The Company has applied uniformly the scrap value of $300 per ton for all vessels. The Company believes that $300 per ton is a reasonable estimate of future scrap prices, taking into consideration the cyclicality of the nature of future demand for scrap steel. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to determine the scrap rate are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective, in part, because of the cyclical nature of future demand for scrap steel.

5                 Deferred Charges, net

Deferred charges, net consisted of the following (in thousands):

The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for drydocking and special survey costs in accordance with accounting for planned major maintenance activities, whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled survey, which is two and a half years.  If special survey or drydocking is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. Furthermore, when a vessel is drydocked for more than one reporting period, the respective costs are identified and recorded in the period in which they were incurred and not at the conclusion of the drydocking.

6                 Other Non-current Assets

Other non-current assets consisted of the following (in thousands):

On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed with one of its charterers, Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (“ZIM”), revisions to charterparties for six of its vessels in operation, which kept the original charter terms in place, reducing the cash settlement of each charter hire by 17.5%, for a period ending on December 31, 2012, which would become a subsequent payment. Each subsequent payment, which accumulates in any financial quarter, is satisfied by callable exchange notes (the “CENs”). CENs were issued by ZIM once per financial quarter at a face value equal to the aggregate amount of such subsequent payments from that financial quarter plus a premium amount (being an amount calculated as if each such subsequent payment had accrued interest at the rate of 6% p.a. from the date when it would have been due under the original charter party until the relevant issue date for the CENs). Unless previously converted at the holder’s option into ZIM’s common stock (only upon ZIM becoming a publicly listed company) or redeemed partially prior to or in full in cash, on July 1, 2016, ZIM is obliged to redeem the CENs at their remaining nominal amount together with the 6% interest accrued up to that date in cash only. In this respect, the Company recorded notes receivable from ZIM in “Other non-current assets” of $34.8 million and $33.9 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Furthermore, following ZIM’s request the Company has agreed to extend the 17.5% charter hire payment deferral until December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the amount outstanding related to the new charter hire deferral was $4.4 million and was reported under Accounts Receivable in the Company’s Balance Sheet. As part of the announced reorganization of its parent company Israel Corporation, Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. is expected to restructure certain of its obligations.  We do not know whether this restructuring will affect ZIM’s time charters, expiring in 2020 and 2021, for six of our vessels, or the $39.2 million aggregate outstanding receivable as of June 30, 2013.  We will continue to monitor the situation on an ongoing basis and the impact, if any, this would have on the Company’s metrics.

In respect of the fair value of swaps, refer to Note 10a, Financial Instruments — Cash Flow Interest Rate Swap Hedges and Note 10b, Financial Instruments — Fair Value Interest Rate Swap Hedges.

7                 Accrued Liabilities

Accrued liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

Accrued expenses mainly consisted of accrued realized losses on cash flow interest rate swaps of $15.0 million and $15.2 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, as well as other accruals related to the operation of the Company’s fleet of $4.5 million and $4.3 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

8                 Other Current and Long-term Liabilities

Other current liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

Other long-term liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

Other long-term liabilities mainly consist of $4.9 million and $4.8 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, in relation to a deferred fee accrued pursuant to the Bank Agreement (refer to Note 9, Long-Term Debt), which will be cash settled on December 31, 2014 and is recorded at amortized cost.

In respect of the fair value of swaps, refer to Note 10a, Financial Instruments — Cash Flow Interest Rate Swap Hedges.

9                 Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

All floating rate loans discussed above are collateralized by first and second preferred mortgages over the vessels financed, general assignment of all hire freights, income and earnings, the assignment of their insurance policies, as well as any proceeds from the sale of mortgaged vessels and the corporate guarantee of Danaos Corporation.

Maturities of long-term debt for the next five years and thereafter subsequent to June 30, 2013, are as follows (in thousands):

* The last payment due on December 31, 2018, includes the unamortized remaining principal debt balances under the restructuring agreement, as such amount will be determinable following the fixed and variable amortization.

The maturities of long-term debt for the twelve month periods subsequent to June 30, 2013 are based on the terms of the Bank Agreement, under which the Company was not required to repay any outstanding principal amounts under its existing credit facilities, other than the KEXIM and KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facilities which are not covered by the Bank Agreement, until May 15, 2013; thereafter until December 31, 2018 it is required to make quarterly principal payments in fixed amounts. In addition, the Company is required to make an additional payment in such amount that, together with the fixed principal payment, equals a certain percentage of its Actual Free Cash Flow of the preceding financial quarter. The table above includes both the fixed payments for which the Company has a contractual obligation, as well as the Company’s estimate of the future Actual Free Cash Flows and resulting variable amortization. The last payment due on December 31, 2018, will also include the unamortized remaining principal debt balances, as such amount will be determinable following the fixed and variable amortization.

Maturities of Hyundai Samho vendor financing for the next periods subsequent to June 30, 2013, are as follows (in thousands):

As of February 9, 2012, the Company signed a supplemental letter extending the terms of the August 12, 2010 supplemental letter through June 30, 2014, which amended the interest rate margin and the financial covenants of its KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facility. More specifically, the financial covenants were aligned with those set forth in the Bank Agreement (see below), and the interest rate margin was increased by 0.5 percentage points for the same period.

Bank Agreement

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement, which became effective on March 4, 2011, referred to as the Bank Agreement, that superseded, amended and supplemented the terms of each of the Company’s then-existing credit facilities (other than its credit facilities with KEXIM and KEXIM-ABN Amro which are not covered thereby), and provided for, among other things, revised amortization schedules, maturities, interest rates, financial covenants, events of defaults, guarantee and security packages and approximately $425 million of new debt financing. Subject to the terms of the Bank Agreement and the intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), which the Company entered into with each of the lenders participating under the Bank Agreement to govern the relationships between the lenders thereunder, under the New Credit Facilities (as described and defined below) and under the Hyundai Samho Vendor Financing described below, the lenders participating thereunder continue to provide the Company’s then-existing credit facilities and amended the covenants under the existing credit facilities in accordance with the terms of the Bank Agreement.

Under the terms of the Bank Agreement, borrowings under each of the Company’s existing credit facilities, other than the KEXIM and KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facilities which are not covered by the Bank Agreement, bear interest at an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 1.85%.

The Company is required to pay an amendment fee of $5.0 million on December 31, 2014. This amendment fee was accrued under the “Other long-term liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet and is deferred and amortized over the life of the respective credit facilities with the effective interest method. In addition, the Company is required to pay exit fees, which are discussed in detail below.

Principal Payments

Under the terms of the Bank Agreement, the Company was not required to repay any outstanding principal amounts under its existing credit facilities, other than the KEXIM and KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facilities which are not covered by the Bank Agreement, until May 15, 2013; thereafter until December 31, 2018, the Company is required to make quarterly principal payments in fixed amounts, in relation to the Company’s total debt commitments from the Company’s lenders under the Bank Agreement and New Credit Facilities, as specified in the table below:

*                      The Company may elect to make the scheduled payments shown in the above table three months earlier.

Furthermore, an additional variable payment in such amount that, together with the fixed principal payment (as disclosed above), equals 92.5% of Actual Free Cash Flow of the preceding financial quarter until the earlier of (x) the date on which the Company’s consolidated net leverage is below 6:1 and (y) May 15, 2015; and thereafter through maturity, which will be December 31, 2018 for each covered credit facility, it will be required to make fixed quarterly principal payments in fixed amounts as specified in the Bank Agreement and described above plus an additional payment in such amount that, together with the fixed principal payment, equals 89.5% of Actual Free Cash Flow of the preceding financial quarter. In addition, any additional amounts of cash and cash equivalents, but during the final principal payment period described above only such additional amounts in excess of the greater of (1) $50 million of accumulated unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and (2) 2% of the Company’s consolidated debt, would be applied first to the prepayment of the New Credit Facilities and after the New Credit Facilities are repaid, to the existing credit facilities. The last payment due on December 31, 2018 will also include the unamortized remaining principal debt balances, as such amount will be determinable following the fixed and variable amortization.

Under the Bank Agreement, “Actual Free Cash Flow” with respect to each credit facility covered thereby is equal to revenue from the vessels collateralizing such facility, less the sum of (a) interest expense under such credit facility, (b) pro-rata portion of payments under its interest rate swap arrangements, (c) interest expense and scheduled amortization under the Hyundai Samho Vendor Financing and (d) per vessel operating expenses and pro rata per vessel allocation of general and administrative expenses (which are not permitted to exceed the relevant budget by more than 20%), plus (e) the pro-rata share of operating cash flow of any Applicable Second Lien Vessel (which means, with respect to an existing facility, a vessel with respect to which the participating lenders under such facility have a second lien security interest and the first lien credit facility has been repaid in full).

Under the terms of the Bank Agreement, the Company continues to be required to make any mandatory prepayments provided for under the terms of its existing credit facilities and is required to make additional prepayments as follows

·                                         50% of the first $300 million of net equity proceeds (including convertible debt and hybrid instruments), excluding the $200 million of net equity proceeds which was a condition to the Bank Agreement and were received in August 2010 for which there are no specified required uses, after entering into the Bank Agreement and 25% of any additional net equity proceeds thereafter until December 31, 2018; and

·                                         any debt proceeds (after repayment of any underlying secured debt covered by vessels collateralizing the new borrowings) (excluding the New Credit Facilities, the Sinosure-CEXIM Credit Facility and the Hyundai Samho Vendor Financing),

which amounts would first be applied to repayment of amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facilities and then to the existing credit facilities. Any equity proceeds retained by the Company and not used within 12 months for certain specified purposes would be applied for prepayment of the New Credit Facilities and then to the existing credit facilities. The Company would also be required to prepay the portion of a credit facility attributable to a particular vessel upon the sale or total loss of such vessel; the termination or loss of an existing charter for a vessel, unless replaced within a specified period by a similar charter acceptable to the lenders; or the termination of a newbuilding contract. The Company’s respective lenders under its existing credit facilities covered by the Bank Agreement and the New Credit Facilities may, at their option, require the Company to repay in full amounts outstanding under such respective credit facilities, upon a “Change of Control” of the Company, which for these purposes is defined as (i) Dr. Coustas ceasing to be its Chief Executive Officer, (ii) its common stock ceasing to be listed on the NYSE (or Nasdaq or other recognized stock exchange), (iii) a change in the ultimate beneficial ownership of the capital stock of any of its subsidiaries or ultimate control of the voting rights of those shares, (iv) Dr. Coustas and members of his family ceasing to collectively own over one-third of the voting interest in its outstanding capital stock or (v) any other person or group controlling more than 20% of the voting power of its outstanding capital stock.

Covenants and Events of Default

Under the Bank Agreement, the financial covenants under each of the Company’s existing credit facilities (other than under the KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facility which is not covered thereby, but which has been aligned with those covenants below through June 30, 2014 under the supplemental letter dated August 12, 2010 and amendment thereto dated February 9, 2012 and our KEXIM credit facility, which contains only a collateral coverage covenant of 130%), have been reset to require the Company to:

·                                         maintain a ratio of (i) the market value of all of the vessels in the Company’s fleet, on a charter-inclusive basis, plus the net realizable value of any additional collateral, to (ii) the Company’s consolidated total debt above specified minimum levels gradually increasing from 90% through December 31, 2011 to 130% from September 30, 2017 through September 30, 2018;

·                                         maintain a minimum ratio of (i) the market value of the nine vessels (Hyundai Smart, Hyundai Speed, Hyundai Ambition, Hyundai Together, Hyundai Tenacity, Hanjin Greece, Hanjin Italy, Hanjin Germany and CMA CGM Rabelais) collateralizing the New Credit Facilities, calculated on a charter-free basis, plus the net realizable value of any additional collateral, to (ii) the Company’s aggregate debt outstanding under the New Credit Facilities of 100% from September 30, 2012 through September 30, 2018;

·                                         maintain minimum free consolidated unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, less the amount of the aggregate variable principal amortization amounts, described above, of $30.0 million at the end of each calendar quarter, other than during 2012 when the Company will be required to maintain a minimum amount of $20.0 million;

·                                         ensure that the Company’s (i) consolidated total debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to (ii) consolidated EBITDA (defined as net income before interest, gains or losses under any hedging arrangements, tax, depreciation, amortization and any other non-cash item, capital gains or losses realized from the sale of any vessel, finance charges and capital losses on vessel cancellations and before any non-recurring items and excluding any accrued interest due to us but not received on or before the end of the relevant period; provided that non-recurring items excluded from this calculation shall not exceed 5% of EBITDA calculated in this manner) for the last twelve months does not exceed a maximum ratio gradually decreasing from 12:1 on December 31, 2010 to 4.75:1 on September 30, 2018;

·                                         ensure that the ratio of the Company’s (i) consolidated EBITDA for the last twelve months to (ii) net interest expense (defined as interest expense (excluding capitalized interest), less interest income, less realized gains on interest rate swaps (excluding capitalized gains) and plus realized losses on interest rate swaps (excluding capitalized losses)) exceeds a minimum level of 1.50:1 through September 30, 2013 and thereafter gradually increasing to 2.80:1 by September 30, 2018; and

·                                         maintain a consolidated market value adjusted net worth (defined as the amount by which the Company’s total consolidated assets adjusted for the market value of the Company’s vessels in the water less cash and cash equivalents in excess of the Company’s debt service requirements exceeds the Company’s total consolidated liabilities after excluding the net asset or liability relating to the fair value of derivatives as reflected in the Company’s financial statements for the relevant period) of at least $400 million.

For the purpose of these covenants, the market value of the Company’s vessels will be calculated, except as otherwise indicated above, on a charter-inclusive basis (using the present value of the “bareboat-equivalent” time charter income from such charter) so long as a vessel’s charter has a remaining duration at the time of valuation of more than 12 months plus the present value of the residual value of the relevant vessel (generally equivalent to the charter free value of such a vessel at the age such vessel would be at the expiration of the existing time charter). The market value for newbuilding vessels, all of which currently have multi-year charters, would equal the lesser of such amount and the newbuilding vessel’s book value.

Under the terms of the Bank Agreement, the existing credit facilities also contain customary events of default, including those relating to cross-defaults to other indebtedness, defaults under its swap agreements, non-compliance with security documents, material adverse changes to its business, a Change of Control as described above, a change in its Chief Executive Officer, its common stock ceasing to be listed on the NYSE (or Nasdaq or another recognized stock exchange), a change in, or breach of the management agreement by the manager for the vessels securing the respective credit facilities and cancellation or amendment of the time charters (unless replaced with a similar time charter with a charterer acceptable to the lenders) for the vessels securing the respective credit facilities.

Under the terms of the Bank Agreement, the Company generally will not be permitted to incur any further financial indebtedness or provide any new liens or security interests, unless such security is provided for the equal and ratable benefit of each of the lenders party to the Intercreditor Agreement, other than security arising by operation of law or in connection with the refinancing of outstanding indebtedness, with the consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, of all lenders with a lien on the security pledged against such outstanding indebtedness. In addition, the Company would not be permitted to pay cash dividends or repurchase shares of its capital stock unless (i) its consolidated net leverage is below 6:1 for four consecutive quarters and (ii) the ratio of the aggregate market value of its vessels to its outstanding indebtedness exceeds 125% for four consecutive quarters and provided that an event of default has not occurred and the Company is not, and after giving effect to the payment of the dividend, in breach of any covenant.

Collateral and Guarantees

Each of the Company’s existing credit facilities and swap arrangements, to the extent applicable, continue to be secured by their previous collateral on the same basis, and received, to the extent not previously provided, pledges of the shares of the Company’s subsidiaries owning the vessels collateralizing the applicable facilities, cross-guarantees from each subsidiary owning the vessels collateralizing such facilities, assignment of the refund guarantees in relation to any newbuildings funded by such facilities and other customary shipping industry collateral.

New Credit Facilities (Aegean Baltic Bank—HSH Nordbank—Piraeus Bank, RBS, ABN Amro Club facility, Club Facility and Citi-Eurobank)

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into agreements for the following new term loan credit facilities (“New Credit Facilities”):

(i)                                    a $123.8 million credit facility provided by HSH, which is secured by Hyundai Speed, Hanjin Italy and CMA CGM Rabelais and customary shipping industry collateral related thereto;

(ii)                                 a $100.0 million credit facility provided by RBS, which is secured by Hyundai Smart and Hanjin Greece and customary shipping industry collateral related thereto;

(iii)                              a $37.1 million credit facility with ABN Amro and lenders participating under the Bank Agreement which is secured by Hanjin Germany and customary shipping industry collateral related thereto;

(iv)                             a $83.9 million new club credit facility to be provided, on a pro rata basis, by the other existing lenders participating under the Bank Agreement, which is secured by Hyundai Together and Hyundai Tenacity and customary shipping industry collateral related thereto; and

(v)                                a $80 million credit facility with Citibank and Eurobank, which is secured by Hyundai Ambition and customary shipping industry collateral related thereto ((i)-(v), collectively, the “New Credit Facilities”).

As of June 30, 2013, $411.1 million was outstanding under the above New Credit Facilities and there were nil undrawn funds available.

Borrowings under each of the New Credit Facilities above bear interest at an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin of 1.85%, subject, on and after January 1, 2013, to increases in the applicable margin to: (i) 2.50% if the aggregate outstanding indebtedness thereunder exceeds $276 million, (ii) 3.00% if the aggregate outstanding indebtedness thereunder exceeds $326 million and (iii) 3.50% if the aggregate outstanding indebtedness thereunder exceeds $376 million.

Principal Payments

Under the Bank Agreement, the Company was not required to repay any outstanding principal amounts under its New Credit Facilities until May 15, 2013 and thereafter it is required to make quarterly principal payments in fixed amounts as specified in the Bank Agreement plus an additional quarterly variable amortization payment, all as described above under “—Bank Agreement—Principal Payments.”

Covenants, Events of Default and Other Terms

The New Credit Facilities contain substantially the same financial and operating covenants, events of default, dividend restrictions and other terms and conditions as applicable to the Company’s existing credit facilities as revised under the Bank Agreement described above.

Collateral and Guarantees

The collateral described above relating to the newbuildings financed by the respective credit facilities, will be (other than in respect of the CMA CGM Rabelais) subject to a limited participation by Hyundai Samho in any enforcement thereof until repayment of the related Hyundai Samho Vendor financing (described below) for such vessels. In addition lenders who participate in the new $83.9 million club credit facility described above received a lien on Hyundai Together and Hyundai Tenacity as additional security in respect of the existing credit facilities the Company has with such lenders. The lenders under the other New Credit Facilities also received a lien on the respective vessels securing such New Credit Facilities as additional collateral in respect of its existing credit facilities and interest rate swap arrangements with such lenders and Citibank and Eurobank also received a second lien on Hyundai Ambition as collateral in respect of its previously unsecured interest rate arrangements with them.

10                    Financial Instruments

The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other assets. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long-term bank loans, accounts payable and derivatives.

Derivative Financial Instruments:  The Company only uses derivatives for economic hedging purposes. The following is a summary of the Company’s risk management strategies and the effect of these strategies on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk:  Interest rate risk arises on bank borrowings. The Company monitors the interest rate on borrowings closely to ensure that the borrowings are maintained at favorable rates.

Concentration of Credit Risk:  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable and derivatives. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with established financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments, however, the Company limits this exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings. The Company depends upon a limited number of customers for a large part of its revenues. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally managed by the selection of customers among the major liner companies in the world and their dispersion across many geographic areas. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is mainly limited to the carrying value of its derivative instruments. The Company is not a party to master netting arrangements.

Fair Value:  The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities excluding long-term bank loans approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term floating rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of the swap agreements equals the amount that would be paid by the Company to cancel the swaps.

Interest Rate Swaps:  The off-balance sheet risk in outstanding swap agreements involves both the risk of a counter-party not performing under the terms of the contract and the risk associated with changes in market value. The Company monitors its positions, the credit ratings of counterparties and the level of contracts it enters into with any one party. The counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company has a policy of entering into contracts with parties that meet stringent qualifications and, given the high level of credit quality of its derivative counter-parties, the Company does not believe it is necessary to obtain collateral arrangements.

a.  Cash Flow Interest Rate Swap Hedges

The Company, according to its long-term strategic plan to maintain relative stability in its interest rate exposure, has decided to swap part of its interest expense from floating to fixed. To this effect, the Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions with varying start and maturity dates, in order to pro-actively and efficiently manage its floating rate exposure.

These interest rate swaps are designed to economically hedge the variability of interest cash flows arising from floating rate debt, attributable to movements in three-month USD$ LIBOR. According to the Company’s Risk Management Accounting Policy, and after putting in place the formal documentation required by hedge accounting in order to designate these swaps as hedging instruments, as from their inception, these interest rate swaps qualified for hedge accounting, and, accordingly, from that time until June 30, 2012, only hedge ineffectiveness amounts arising from the differences in the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item were recognized in the Company’s earnings. Assessment and measurement of prospective and retrospective effectiveness for these interest rate swaps were performed on a quarterly basis. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the fair value gain or loss associated with the effective portion of the cash flow hedge was recognized initially in stockholders’ equity, and recognized to the Statement of Income in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

On July 1, 2012, the Company elected to prospectively de-designate cash flow interest rate swaps for which it was obtaining hedge accounting treatment due to the compliance burden associated with this accounting policy. As a result, all changes in the fair value of the Company’s cash flow interest rate swap agreements are recorded in earnings under “Unrealized and Realized Losses on Derivatives” from the de-designation date forward. The Company evaluated whether it is probable that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments are probable to not occur in the originally specified time period. The Company has concluded that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments are probable of occurring. Therefore, unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the previously designated cash flow interest rate swaps will remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings when the interest payments will be recognized. If such interest payments were to be identified as being probable of not occurring, the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance pertaining to these amounts would be reversed through earnings immediately.

The interest rate swap agreements converting floating interest rate exposure into fixed were as follows (in thousands):
