Table of Contents

Vessels, net

Vessels, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Included in vessel costs are acquisition costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. The Company also capitalizes interest costs for a vessel under construction as a cost that is directly attributable to the acquisition of a vessel. Vessels are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, determined to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation expense for vessels for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $33,462 and $33,054, respectively. Depreciation expense for vessels for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $99,646 and $96,773, respectively.

Depreciation expense is calculated based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. The costs of significant replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the vessels remaining estimated useful life or the estimated life of the renewal or betterment. Undepreciated cost of any asset component being replaced that was acquired after the initial vessel purchase is written off as a component of vessel operating expense. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Scrap value is estimated by the Company by taking the estimated scrap value of $245/lwt multiplied by the weight of the ship in lightweight tons (lwt).

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as revenue when earned. Additionally, deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had an accrual of $563 and $762, respectively, related to these estimated customer claims.

Voyage revenues

Since the Companys inception, revenues have been generated from time charter agreements, pool agreements and spot market-related time charters. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterers disposal for a set period of time during which the charterer may use the vessel in return for the payment by the charterer of a specified daily hire rate, including any ballast bonus payments received pursuant to the time charter agreement. Spot market-related time charters are the same as other time charter agreements, except the time charter rates are variable and are based on a percentage of the average daily rates as published by the Baltic Dry Index (BDI). Voyage revenues also include sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Voyage expense recognition

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. These differences in bunkers resulted in net gains of $242 and $666 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1,665 and $2,319 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.

Noncontrolling interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 reflects the noncontrolling interests share of the net loss of Baltic Trading, a subsidiary of the Company, which owns and employs drybulk vessels in the spot market or on spot market-related time charters. The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages. At September 30, 2012, the noncontrolling interest held a 74.91% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 16.60% of voting power. At December 31, 2011, the noncontrolling interest held a 74.89% economic interest in Baltic Trading while only holding 16.59% of voting power.

Income taxes

Pursuant to certain agreements, GS&T technically and commercially manages vessels for Baltic Trading as well as provides technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are performed by Genco Management (USA) Limited (Genco (USA)), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net

income derived from providing these services. Genco (USA) has entered into a cost-sharing agreement with the Company and Genco Ship Management LLC, collectively Manco, pursuant to which Genco (USA) agrees to reimburse Manco for the costs incurred by Genco (USA) for the use of Mancos personnel and services in connection with the provision of the services for both Baltic Trading and MEPs vessels.

Total revenue earned for these services during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1,530 and $1,588, respectively, of which $703 and $760, respectively, eliminated upon consolidation. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $664 associated with these activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This resulted in estimated tax expense of $299 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $668 associated with these activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This resulted in income tax expense of $319 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Total revenue earned for these services during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $4,575 and $4,689, respectively, of which $2,109 and $2,232, respectively, eliminated upon consolidation. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $1,985 associated with these activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This resulted in estimated tax expense of $892 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. After allocation of certain expenses, there was taxable income of $2,113 associated with these activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This resulted in income tax expense of $1,010 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Baltic Trading is subject to income tax on its United States source income. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, Baltic Trading had United States source income of $200 and $452, respectively. Baltic Tradings United States income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $4 and $9, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, Baltic Trading had United States source income of $1,321 and $2,909, respectively. Baltic Tradings United States income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $26 and $31, respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (Topic 820) Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2011-04), to provide a consistent definition of fair value and ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This standard was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied on a prospective basis. The Company has adopted ASU 2011-04 and the impact of adoption is not material to the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The standard does not change the items that must be reported for other comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to net income. This standard was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and was to be applied retrospectively. The FASB has deferred the requirement to present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulate other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income. Companies are required to either present amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or disclose those amounts in the notes to the financial statements. During the deferral period, there is no requirement to separately present or disclose the reclassification adjustments into net income. The effective date of this deferral will be consistent with the effective date of ASU 2011-05. The Company has adopted ASU 2011-05 and disclosed comprehensive income in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. This guidance only affects financial statement presentation and has no impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

3 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company determines its operating segments based on the information utilized by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance. Based on this information, the Company has two operating segments, GS&T and Baltic Trading.

drybulk carrier vessels. GS&T seeks to deploy its vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market and Baltic Trading seeks to deploy its vessel charters in the spot market, which represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages, or employing vessels on spot market-related time charters. Segment results are evaluated based on net income (loss). The accounting policies applied to the reportable segments are the same as those used in the preparation of the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.

7 NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

The computation of basic net (loss) income per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted net loss (income) per share assumes the vesting of nonvested stock awards (refer to Note 20 Nonvested Stock Awards), for which the assumed proceeds upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and are not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. Of the 935,287 nonvested shares outstanding at September 30, 2012 (refer to Note 20 Nonvested Stock Awards), all are anti-dilutive. The Companys diluted net (loss) income per share will also reflect the assumed conversion under the Companys convertible debt if the impact is dilutive under the if converted method. The impact of the shares convertible under the Companys convertible notes is excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per share when interest expense per common share obtainable upon conversion is greater than basic earnings per share.

13 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values and carrying values of the Companys financial instruments at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 which are required to be disclosed at fair value, but not recorded at fair value, are noted below.

	September 30, 2012 — Carrying Value	Fair Value	December 31, 2011 — Carrying Value	Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$ 87,778	$ 87,778	$ 227,968	$ 227,968
Restricted cash	10,150	10,150	9,750	9,750
Floating rate debt	1,413,439	1,413,439	1,588,012	1,588,012
2010 Notes	109,726	48,750	106,381	80,000

The fair value of the floating rate debt under the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility are based on managements estimate of rates the Company has recently obtained on August 1, 2012 when the Company entered into agreements to amend or waive certain provisions of the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility. Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of floating rate debt under the credit facilities. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for these floating rate loans. The fair value of the convertible senior notes payable represents the market value based on recent transactions of the 2010 Notes at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 without bifurcating the value of the conversion option. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount the Company would receive to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the creditworthiness of both the swap counterparty and the Company. The carrying amounts of the Companys other financial instruments at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (principally Due from charterers and Accounts payable and accrued expenses), approximate fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures (ASC 820-10), 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 fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumption (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

· Level 1Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

· Level 2Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

· Level 3Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair values of the Companys financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

The Companys interest rate derivative instruments are pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps based on LIBOR. The Company has elected to use the income approach to value the derivatives, using observable Level 2 market inputs at measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (specifically futures contracts on LIBOR for the first two years) and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR cash and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). Mid-market pricing is used as a practical expedient for fair value measurements. Refer to Note 11 Interest Rate Swap Agreements for further information regarding the Companys interest rate swap agreements. ASC 820-10 states that the fair value measurement of an asset or liability must reflect the nonperformance risk of the entity and the counterparty. Therefore, the impact of the counterpartys creditworthiness when in an asset position and the Companys creditworthiness when in a liability position has also been factored into the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments in an asset or liability position and did not have a material impact on the fair value of these derivative instruments. As of September 30, 2012, both the counterparty and the Company are expected to continue to perform under the contractual terms of the instruments. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. Floating rate debt is considered to be a Level 2 item as the Company considers the estimate of rates it could obtain for similar debt. The 2010 Notes are publicly traded in the over-the-counter market; however they are not considered to be actively traded. As such, the 2010 Notes are considered to be a Level 2 item.

19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In September 2005, the Company entered into a 15-year lease for office space in New York, New York for which there was a free rental period from September 1, 2005 to July 31, 2006. On January 6, 2012, the Company ceased the use of this space and as such has recorded, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, net rent expense of $255 and $826, respectively, representing the present value of the Companys estimated remaining rent expense for the duration of the lease after taking into account estimated future sublease income and deferred rent on the facility. The current and long-term lease obligations related to this lease agreement are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2012 in Current portion of lease obligations and Long-term lease obligations, respectively. Rent expense under this lease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $117 and $350, respectively.

Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $129 for the remainder of 2012, $518 annually for 2013 through 2015, $529 for 2016, and a total of $2,522 for the remaining term of the lease.

Effective April 4, 2011, the Company entered into a seven-year sub-sublease agreement for additional office space in New York, New York. The term of the sub-sublease commenced June 1, 2011, with a free base rental period until October 31, 2011. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments will be $82 per month until May 31, 2015 and thereafter will be $90 per month until the end of the seven-year term. Pursuant to the sub-sublease agreement, the sublessor is obligated to contribute $472 toward the cost of the Companys alterations to the sub-subleased office space. The Company has also entered into a direct lease with the over-landlord of such office space that will commence immediately upon the expiration of such sub-sublease agreement, for a term covering the period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2025; the direct lease provides for a free base rental period from May 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018. Following the expiration of the free base rental period, the monthly base rental payments will be $186 per month from October 1, 2018 to April 30, 2023 and $204 per month from May 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. For accounting purposes, the sub-sublease agreement and direct lease agreement with the landlord constitutes one lease agreement. As a result of the straight-line rent calculation generated by the free rent period and the tenant work credit, the monthly straight-line rental expense for the term of the entire lease from June 1, 2011 to September 30, 2025 will be $130. The Company had a long-term lease obligation at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of $1,649 and $1,217, respectively. Rent expense pertaining to this new lease for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $389 during both periods. Rent expense pertaining to this new lease for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $1,168 and $519, respectively.

Future minimum rental payments on the above lease for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: $245 for the remainder of 2012, $982 annually for 2013 through 2014, $1,037 for 2015, $1,076 for 2016 and a total of $17,582 for the remaining term of the lease.

ITEM 2 . MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements use words such as anticipate, estimate, expect, project, intend, plan, believe, and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of potential future events, circumstances or future operating or financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on managements current expectations and observations. Included among the factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements contained in this report are the following: (i) declines in demand or rates in the drybulk shipping industry; (ii) prolonged weakness in drybulk shipping rates; (iii) changes in the supply of or demand for drybulk products, generally or in particular regions; (iv) changes in the supply of drybulk carriers including newbuilding of vessels or lower than anticipated scrapping of older vessels; (v) changes in rules and regulations applicable to the cargo industry, including, without limitation, legislation adopted by international organizations or by individual countries and actions taken by regulatory authorities; (vi) increases in costs and expenses including but not limited to: crew wages, insurance, provisions, lube oil, bunkers, repairs, maintenance and general, administrative and management fee expenses; (vii) whether our insurance arrangements are adequate; (viii) changes in general domestic and international political conditions; (ix) acts of war, terrorism, or piracy; (x) changes in the condition of our vessels or applicable maintenance or regulatory standards (which may affect, among other things, our anticipated drydocking or maintenance and repair costs) and unanticipated drydock expenditures; (xi) our acquisition or disposition of vessels; (xii) the amount of offhire time needed to complete repairs on vessels and the timing and amount of any reimbursement by our insurance carriers for insurance claims, including offhire days; (xiii) the completion of definitive documentation with respect to charters; (xiv) charterers compliance with the terms of their charters in the current market environment; and other factors listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and subsequent reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q .

The following managements discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Form 10-Q.

General

We are a Marshall Islands company that transports iron ore, coal, grain, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes through the ownership and operation of drybulk carrier vessels. Excluding vessels of Baltic Trading Limited (Baltic Trading), as of November 9, 2012, our fleet consisted of nine Capesize, eight Panamax, 17 Supramax, six Handymax and 13 Handysize drybulk carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 3,810,000 dwt, and the average age of our fleet is approximately 7.5 years, as compared to the average age for the world fleet of approximately 10 years for the drybulk shipping segments in which we compete. We seek to deploy our vessels on time charters, spot market-related time charters or in vessel pools trading in the spot market, to reputable charterers, including Cargill International S.A., Pacific Basin Chartering Ltd., Trafigura Beheer B.V., Swissmarine Services S.A., Klaveness Chartering and LB/IVS Pool, in which Lauritzen Bulkers A/S acts as the pool manager. The majority of the vessels in our current fleet are presently engaged under time charter and spot market-related time charter contracts that expire (assuming the option periods in the time charters are not exercised) between November 2012 and May 2015.

In addition, as of November 9, 2012, Baltic Tradings fleet consisted of two Capesize, four Supramax and three Handysize drybulk carriers with an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 672,000 dwt.

See pages 34 - 37 for a table of all vessels that have been delivered to us, including Baltic Tradings vessels.

Depending on market conditions, we intend to acquire additional modern, high-quality drybulk carriers through timely and selective acquisitions of vessels in a manner that is accretive to our cash flow. We expect to fund acquisitions of additional vessels using cash reserves set aside for this purpose or additional borrowings and may consider additional debt or equity financing alternatives from time to time.

Our management team and our other employees are responsible for the commercial and strategic management of our fleet. Commercial management includes the negotiation of charters for vessels, managing the mix of various types of charters, such as time charters, voyage charters and spot market-related time charters, and monitoring the performance of our vessels under their charters. Strategic management includes locating, purchasing, financing and selling vessels. We currently contract with three independent technical managers to provide technical management of our fleet at a lower cost than we believe would be possible in-house. Technical management involves the day-to-day management of vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. Members of our New York City-based management team oversee the activities of our independent technical managers.

From time to time in the current global economic environment, our charterers with long-term time charters may request to renegotiate the terms of our charters with them. As a general matter, we do not agree to make changes to the terms of our charters in response to such requests. The failure of any charterer to meet its obligations under our long-term time charters could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Baltic Trading, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its IPO on March 15, 2010. As of September 30, 2012, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary Genco Investments LLC owned 5,699,088 shares of Baltic Tradings Class B Stock, which represents a 25.09% ownership interest in Baltic Trading at September 30, 2012 and 83.40% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Tradings outstanding shares of voting stock. Baltic Trading is consolidated with the Company, as we control a majority of the voting interest in Baltic Trading. Managements discussion and analysis of the Companys results of operations and financial condition in this section includes the results of Baltic Trading.

We entered into a long-term management agreement (the Management Agreement) with Baltic Trading pursuant to which we apply our expertise and experience in the drybulk industry to provide Baltic Trading with commercial, technical, administrative and strategic services. The Management Agreement is for an initial term of approximately 15 years and will automatically renew for additional five-year periods unless terminated in accordance with its terms. Baltic Trading will pay us for the services we provide it as well as reimburse us for our costs and expenses incurred in providing certain of these services. Management fee income we earn from the Management Agreement net of any allocated shared expenses, such as salary, office expenses and other general and administrative fees, will be taxable to us. Upon consolidation with Baltic Trading, any management fee income earned will be eliminated for financial reporting purposes.

We provide technical services for drybulk vessels purchased by Maritime Equity Partners LLC (MEP) under an agency agreement between us and MEP. These services include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services are provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket costs and will be provided for an initial term of one year. MEP has the right to cancel provision of services on 60 days notice with payment of a one-year termination fee upon a change of our control. We may terminate provision of the services at any time on 60 days notice. Peter C. Georgiopoulos, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, is a minority investor in MEP, and affiliates of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., of which Stephen A. Kaplan, one of our directors, is a principal, are majority investors in MEP. This arrangement was approved by an independent committee of our Board of Directors.

During January 2011, the Genco Success, a 1997-built Handymax vessel, was on charter to Korea Line Corporation (KLC) when KLC filed for a rehabilitation application. We estimate that we have a claim of approximately $0.8 million against KLC related primarily to unpaid revenue earned prior to re-delivery of the vessel. If a rehabilitation plan is approved by the South Korean courts and it is determined that we will receive a cash settlement for our outstanding claim, any amounts due from KLC will be recorded once the collectibility of the receivable has been assessed and the amount has been deemed collectible.

*Definitions*

In order to understand our discussion of our results of operations, it is important to understand the meaning of the following terms used in our analysis and the factors that influence our results of operations.

(1) Ownership days . We define ownership days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during a period.

(2) Available days . We define available days as the number of our ownership days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and the aggregate amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels between time charters. Companies in the shipping industry generally use available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

(3) Operating days . We define operating days as the number of our available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

(4) Fleet utilization . We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a companys efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning.

(5) TCE rates . We define TCE rates as net voyage revenue (voyage revenues less voyage expenses) divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charterhire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per-day amounts while charterhire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts.

(6) Daily vessel operating expenses . We define daily vessel operating expenses as vessel operating expenses divided by ownership days for the period. Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance (excluding drydocking), the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses.

(1) EBITDA represents net (loss) income attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited plus net interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as a common performance measure to compare results across peers. Our management uses EBITDA as a performance measure in our consolidated internal financial statements, and it is presented for review at our board meetings. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors as the shipping industry is capital intensive which often results in significant depreciation and cost of financing. EBITDA presents investors with a measure in addition to net income to evaluate our performance prior to these costs. EBITDA is not an item recognized by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator of a companys operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity or cash flows as shown in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies. The foregoing definition of EBITDA differs from the definition of Consolidated EBITDA used in the financial covenants of our 2007 Credit Facility, our $253 Million Term Loan Credit Facility, and our $100 Million Term Loan Credit Facility. Specifically, Consolidated EBITDA substitutes gross interest expense (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs) for net interest expense used in our definition of EBITDA, includes adjustments for restricted stock amortization and non-cash charges for deferred financing costs related to the refinancing of other credit facilities or any non-cash losses from our investment in Jinhui, and excludes extraordinary gains or losses and gains or losses from derivative instruments used for hedging purposes or sales of assets other than inventory sold in the ordinary course of business. The following table demonstrates our calculation of EBITDA and provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to net (loss) income attributable to Genco Shipping & Trading Limited for each of the periods presented above:

The rate is based on 115% of the average of the daily rates of the BHSI, as reflected in daily reports. Hire is paid every 15 days in advance net of a 5.00% third party brokerage commission. These vessels were acquired with existing time charters with below-market rates. For these below-market time charters, Genco allocates the purchase price between the respective vessels and an intangible liability for the value assigned to the below-market charter-hire. This intangible liability is amortized as an increase to voyage revenues over the minimum remaining terms of the applicable charters, at which point the respective liabilities will be amortized to zero and the vessels will begin earning the Cash Daily Rate. For cash flow purposes, Genco will continue to receive the rate presented in the Cash Daily Rate column until the charter expires. Specifically, for the Genco Spirit, Genco Avra, Genco Ocean and Genco Bay, the daily amount of amortization associated with the below-market rates are approximately $200, $350, $700 and $750 per day over the actual cash rate earned, respectively.

*Three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011*

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, voyage revenues decreased 42.7% to $53.6 million as compared to $93.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in revenue s was due to lower charter rates achieved by substantially all of our vessels as well as a higher number of days that our vessels were on planned offhire to complete drydockings during the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011. Additionally, there was a decrease in revenues earned by Baltic Tradings vessels of $4.6 million, due to lower spot ma r ket rates achieved.

The average Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rate of our fleet decreased 44.6% to $9,119 a day for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $16,447 a day for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in TCE rates resulted from lower charter rates achieved during the third quarter of 2012 versus the same period last year for substantially all of the vessels in our fleet. We believe that increased vessel supply coupled with negative sentiment on the rate of growth in emerging economies were the main contributors to reduced rates during the third quarter. The effect of these contributors was partially offset by record scrapping of older tonnage. We believe that Chinese iron ore restocking commencing at the end of September 2012 along with improvement in sentiment appears to have led to a relative rate improvement with the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) at 916 as of November 8, 2012.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had 5,704.0 and 5,592.7 ownership days, respectively. The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of two vessels during the third and fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2011. Fleet utilization was relatively stable at 99.2% and 99.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

SERVICE REVENUES-

Service revenues consist of revenues earned from providing technical services to MEP pursuant to the agency agreement between us and MEP. These services include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services are provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, total service revenue was $0.8 million during both periods.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses such as commissions, which are typically borne by us. Voyage expenses include port and canal charges, fuel (bunker) expenses and brokerage commissions payable to unaffiliated third parties. Port and canal charges and bunker expenses primarily increase in periods during which vessels are employed on voyage charters because these expenses are for the account of the vessel owner. At the inception of a time charter, we record the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses and the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters.

Voyage expenses increased by $1.0 million from $1.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to bunker consumption during short-term time charters that was billed back to the charterer pursuant to the terms of the respective time charter agreements. Refer to Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our condensed consolidated financial statements. This increase was also due to an increase in bunker consumption for deviation to perform drydockings as well as during the repositioning of vessels. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in broker commissions as a result of a decrease in voyage revenue earned during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period last year.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses increased by $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily as a result of the operation of a larger fleet, including the two vessels delivered during the third and fourth quarter s of 2011. The increase was also related to higher expenses related to crewing and maintenance during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The $2.1 million increase includes a $0.2 million increase related to Baltic Tradings vessels.

SEQ.=1,FOLIO='38',FILE='C:\JMS\107202\12-19925-1\task5659545\19925-1-bk.htm',USER='107202',CD='Nov 9 07:05 2012'

Table of Contents

Daily vessel operating expenses increased to $4,956 per vessel per day for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $4,673 per day for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in daily vessel operating expenses was mainly due to higher expenses related to crewing and maintenance. We believe daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year of operation. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $259 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $5,215 per vessel per day, which includes Baltic Tradings vessels.

Our vessel operating expenses, which generally represent fixed costs for each vessel, will increase if our fleet expands. Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, including, for instance, developments relating to market prices for crewing, lubes, and insurance, may also cause these expenses to increase.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT FEES-

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, general, administrative and management fees were $8.6 million and $8.8 million, respectively. The decrease in general, administrative and management fees was primarily due to lower non-cash compensation offset by an increase in office-related expenses. We incur management fees to third-party technical management companies for the day-to-day management of our vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. The decrease in general, administrative and management fees was partially offset by slightly higher management fees related to the operation of a larger fleet, including the delivery of two vessels during the third and fourth quarter of 2011.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.7 million during the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011 primarily due to the operation of a larger fleet, including the two vessels delivered during the third and fourth quarter of 2011.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

NET INTEREST EXPENSE-

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net interest expense was $21.5 million and $21.6 million, respectively. Net interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 consisted of interest expense under our 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and Baltic Tradings $150 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility) as well as interest expense related to our 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes (the 2010 Notes). Additionally, interest income, unused commitment fees associated with the aforementioned credit facilities as well as the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the aforementioned credit facilities are included in net interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

The decrease in net interest expense for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011 was primarily due to the expiration of four interest rate swap agreements during the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in net interest expense due to the facility fee for the 2007 Credit Facility of 1.0% per annum, which is based on the average daily outstanding principal loan amount which was effective December 21, 2011 as per an amendment to the 2007 Credit Facility. Additionally, the decrease was partially offset by an increase in the applicable margin for the 2007 Credit Facility which was increased from 2.0% to 3.0% effective August 1, 2012 pursuant to an amendment to the 2007 Credit Facility. Refer to Note 9 Long-Term Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the facility fee and the increase in the applicable margin.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, income tax expense was $0.3 million during both periods. This income tax expense consists primarily of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco Management (USA) Limited (Genco (USA)), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to certain agreements, we technically and commercially manage vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provide technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Refer to the Income taxes section of Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $3.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. These amounts represent the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Baltic Trading.

*Nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011*

VOYAGE REVENUES-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, voyage revenues decreased 40.3% to $174.7 million versus $292.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Revenues decreased by approximately $117.9 million primarily due to lower charter rates achieved by substantially all of our vessels as well as a higher number of days that our vessels were on planned off-hire to complete drydockings during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in charter rates was partially offset by the increase in the size of our fleet. Additionally, there was a decrease in revenues earned by Baltic Tradings vessels of $10.2 million due to lower spot market rates achieved.

The average TCE rate of our fleet decreased 43.0% to $10,218 a day for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $17,935 a day for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in TCE rates resulted from lower charter rates achieved during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 versus the same period last year for substantially all of the vessels in our fleet. We believe that increased vessel supply coupled with negative sentiment on the rate of growth in emerging economies were the main contributors to reduced rates during the third quarter. The effect of these contributors was partially offset by record scrapping of older tonnage. We believe that Chinese iron ore restocking commencing at the end of September 2012 along with improvement in sentiment appears to have led to a relative rate improvement with the BDI at 916 as of November 8, 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had 16,988.0 and 16,233.9 ownership days, respectively. The increase in ownership days is a result of the delivery of four vessels during the year ended December 31, 2011. Fleet utilization was stable at 99.3% and 99.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

SERVICE REVENUES-

Service revenues consist of revenues earned from providing technical services to MEP pursuant to the agency agreement between us and MEP. These services include oversight of crew management, insurance, drydocking, ship operations and financial statement preparation, but do not include chartering services. The services are provided for a fee of $750 per ship per day. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, total service revenue was $2.5 million during both periods.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, voyage expenses were $5.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The $2.5 million increase is primarily due to bunker consumption during short-term time charters that was billed back to the charterer pursuant to the terms of the respective time charter agreements. The increase was also due to larger net gains recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which represented the difference between the costs of the bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Additionally, the increase was due to an increase in bunker consumption for deviation to perform drydockings as well as during the repositioning of the vessels for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period last year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in broker commissions as a result of a decrease in voyage revenue earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period last year. Included in this variance is a $0.8 million increase for Baltic Tradings vessels.

VESSEL OPERATING EXPENSES-

Vessel operating expenses increased by $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily a result of the operation of a larger fleet, including the four vessels delivered during the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was also related to higher maintenance and crew related expenses, as well as the timing of purchases of stores and spare parts for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The $9.2 million increase includes a $0.7 million increase related to Baltic Tradings vessels.

Daily vessel operating expenses increased to $5,040 per vessel per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $4,706 per day for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in daily vessel operating expenses was mainly due to higher maintenance and crew related expenses. We believe daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur over a full year

of operation. Our actual daily vessel operating expenses per vessel for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $175 below the weighted-average budgeted rate of $5,215 per vessel per day, which includes Baltic Tradings vessels.

GENERAL, ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT FEES-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, general, administrative and management fees remained relatively stable at $25.7 million and $25.9 million, respectively, with a decrease in non-cash compensation offset by higher office-related expenses. We incur management fees to third-party technical management companies for the day-to-day management of our vessels, including performing routine maintenance, attending to vessel operations and arranging for crews and supplies. The decrease in general, administrative and management fees was partially offset by slightly higher management fees related to the operation of a larger fleet, including the delivery of four vessels during 2011.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION-

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period last year due to the operation of a larger fleet, including the four vessels delivered during 2011.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME-

NET INTEREST EXPENSE-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net interest expense was $64.8 million and $64.2 million, respectively. Net interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 consisted of interest expense under our 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility as well as interest expense related to our 2010 Notes. Additionally, interest income, unused commitment fees associated with the aforementioned credit facilities as well as the amortization of deferred financing costs related to the aforementioned credit facilities are included in net interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

The increase in net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily a result of the facility fee for the 2007 Credit Facility of 2.0% per annum on the average daily outstanding principal loan amount which was effective December 21, 2011 as per an amendment to the 2007 Credit Facility as well as an increase in the applicable margin for the 2007 Credit Facility which was increased from 2.0% to 3.0% effective August 1, 2012 pursuant to an amendment to the 2007 Credit Facility. These increases were partially offset by the impact of the expiring of interest rate swap agreements during the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012 and the prepayment of $99.9 million of outstanding debt during August 2012. Refer to Note 9 Long-Term Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the facility fee, increase in the applicable margin and the prepayment of outstanding debt. The facility fee of 2.0% was reduced to 1.0% on February 28, 2012 upon the completion of an equity offering of 7,500,000 shares. The increase in interest expense was also due to interest expense incurred on additional borrowings under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and $253 Million Term Loan Facility due to the acquisition of four vessels during the year ended December 31, 2011.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, income tax expense was $0.9 million as compared to $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This income tax expense consists primarily of federal, state and local income taxes on net income earned by Genco (USA). Pursuant to certain agreements, we technically and commercially manage vessels for Baltic Trading, as well as provide technical management of vessels for MEP in exchange for specified fees for these services provided. These services are provided by Genco (USA), which has elected to be taxed as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. As such, Genco (USA) is subject to United States federal income tax on its worldwide net income, including the net income derived from providing these services. Refer to the Income taxes section of Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information. The decrease in income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period during the prior year is primarily due to lower commercial service revenue due to Genco (USA) from Baltic Trading pursuant to the Management Agreement as a result of lower charter rates achieved by Baltic Tradings fleet.

NET LOSS ATTRIBUTABLE TO NONCONTROLLING INTEREST-

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $9.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. These amounts represent the net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Baltic Trading.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To date, we have financed our capital requirements with cash flow from operations, equity offerings, convertible notes and bank debt. We have used our funds primarily to fund vessel acquisitions, regulatory compliance expenditures, the repayment of bank debt and the associated interest expense and the payment of dividends. We will require capital to fund ongoing operations, acquisitions and debt service. Please refer to the discussion under the subheading Dividend Policy below for additional information regarding dividends. We also may consider debt and additional equity financing alternatives from time to time. However, if market conditions become negative, we may be unable to raise additional equity capital or debt financing on acceptable terms or at all. As a result, we may be unable to pursue acquisition opportunities to expand our business. We anticipate that internally generated cash flow will be sufficient to fund the operations of our fleet, including our working capital requirements, for the next twelve months.

Currently, our wholly-owned subsidiary Genco Investments LLC owns 5,699 ,088 shares of Baltic Tradings Class B Stock, which represents a 25.09% ownership interest in Baltic Trading and 83.40% of the aggregate voting power of Baltic Tradings outstanding shares of voting stock. On April 16, 2010, Baltic Trading entered into the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility with Nordea Bank Finland plc, acting through its New York branch. The 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility was subsequently amended effective November 30, 2010, which increased the borrowing capacity from $100 million to $150 million. The amended 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility matures on November 30, 2016. Refer to the 2011 10-K for a description of this facility as well as a description of the amendment entered into effective November 30, 2010. To remain in compliance with a net worth covenant in the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, Baltic Trading would need to maintain a net worth of $232.8 million after the payment of any dividends. We do not believe these restrictions have a significant impact on our liquidity.

We entered into two secured term loan facilities during August 2010 in order to fund vessel acquisitions. On August 12, 2010, we entered into a $100 million secured term loan facility (the $100 Million Term Loan Facility) to fund or refund to us a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of five vessels from companies within the Metrostar group of companies. Additionally, on August 20, 2010, we entered into a $253 million senior secured term loan facility (the $253 Million Term Loan Facility) to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of 13 vessels from Bourbon.

On February 28, 2012, we completed an equity offering of 7,500,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $7.10 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $49.9 million after deducting underwriters fees and expenses.

The 2007 Credit Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility each include a maximum leverage ratio covenant limiting the ratio of our net debt to EBITDA to a maximum of 5.5 to 1. We calculate the leverage ratio under our 2007 Credit Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility, and $100 Million Term Loan Facility by dividing our Average Consolidated Net Indebtedness by our Consolidated EBITDA as defined under these facilities. There is no leverage ratio covenant under the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility. Average Consolidated Net Indebtedness is the monthly average of our indebtedness as defined under the facilities, which at September 30, 2012 consisted of long-term debt, the 2010 Notes, cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) and the letter of credit issued related to leases. On December 21, 2011, we entered agreements which waived the existing maximum leverage ratio covenant, as well as the consolidated interest ratio, for the three aforementioned credit facilities for a period beginning on October 1, 2011 and ending on (and including) March 31, 2013. On August 1, 2012, we entered into agreements which extended these waivers through December 31, 2013 (the August 2012 Agreements). Refer to Note 9 Long-Term Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the terms and fees associated with these agreements. The August 2012 Agreements required us to utilize $99.9 million of cash to repay outstanding debt under these facilities and beginning with September 30, 2012, we have implemented a quarterly cash sweep whereby excess cash over $100.0 million will be used to repay debt under the under the 2007 Credit Facility, The debt repayment of $99.9 million and the future cash sweep may limit the amount of available cash for future growth and other working capital needs of the Company.

If the current prolonged weakness in drybulk shipping rates does not abate, we may not be in compliance with covenants under our three credit facilities following the expiration of the waivers that were extended in the August 2012 Agreements. If such an event appears likely, we expect to seek further waivers or modifications to our credit agreements, which may be subject to certain conditions, and may also seek to raise additional capital through equity or debt offerings or selling assets (including vessels). We cannot be certain that we will accomplish any such actions.

Pursuant to the current terms of the 2007 Credit Facility, the existing collateral maintenance financial covenant is waived, which required us to maintain pledged vessels with a value equal to at least 130% of our current borrowings, and accelerated the reductions of the total facility which began on March 31, 2009. Please read the 2011 10-K for further details. The collateral maintenance covenant is waived until we can represent that we are in compliance with all of our financial covenants. Under the collateral maintenance covenants of our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, our $100 Million Term Loan Facility, and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the aggregate valuations of our vessels pledged under each facility must at least be a certain percentage of loans outstanding (or, in the case of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the total amount we may borrow), which percentages are

SEQ.=1,FOLIO='42',FILE='C:\JMS\jkeene\12-19925-1\task5654154\19925-1-bm.htm',USER='jkeene',CD='Nov 7 13:01 2012'

Table of Contents

135%, 130%, and 140%, respectively. Under our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, the amount payable upon early termination of any interest rate swaps under the facility is added to outstanding loans for purposes of this covenant. If our valuations fall below the applicable percentage, we must provide additional acceptable collateral, repay a portion of our borrowings, or (in the case of the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility) permanently reduce the amount we may borrow under the facility to the extent required to restore our compliance with the applicable covenant. The Company estimates that it would not be in compliance if the valuation of its collateral under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility as of August 17, 2012 were to decline approximately 6%. If it is likely that we would not be in compliance with this covenant, we expect to pay down sufficient outstanding debt on the facility to meet the covenant requirement utilizing cash and cash equivalents on hand.

*Dividend Policy*

Historically, our dividend policy, which commenced in November 2005, has been to declare quarterly distributions to shareholders by each February, May, August and November, substantially equal to our available cash from operations during the previous quarter, less cash expenses for that quarter (principally vessel operating expenses and debt service) and any reserves our Board of Directors determines we should maintain. These reserves covered, among other things, drydocking, repairs, claims, liabilities and other obligations, interest expense and debt amortization, acquisitions of additional assets and working capital. In the future, we may incur other expenses or liabilities that would reduce or eliminate the cash available for distribution as dividends. Under the current terms of the 2007 Credit Facility, we are required to suspend the payment of cash dividends until we can represent that we are in a position to satisfy the collateral maintenance covenant. Refer to the 2011 10-K for further information regarding the current terms of the 2007 Credit Facility. As such, a dividend has not been declared during 2009, 2010, 2011 or the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

As a result of the 2009 Amendment to the 2007 Credit Facility, we have suspended the payment of cash dividends effective for the fourth quarter of 2008, and payment of cash dividends will remain suspended until we can meet the collateral maintenance covenant contained in the 2007 Credit Facility. In addition, under the terms of the August 2012 Agreements, we are prohibited from paying dividends through December 31, 2013.

The declaration and payment of any dividend is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and our compliance with the collateral maintenance covenant, which is currently waived. The timing and amount of dividend payments will depend on our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, fleet renewal and expansion, restrictions in our loan agreements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to shareholders and other factors. Our board of directors may review and amend our dividend policy from time to time in light of our plans for future growth and other factors.

We believe that, under current law, our dividend payments from earnings and profits will constitute qualified dividend income and, as such, will generally be subject to a 15% U.S. federal income tax rate with respect to non-corporate U.S. shareholders that meet certain holding period and other requirements (through 2012). Distributions in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a U.S. shareholders tax basis in its common stock on a dollar-for-dollar basis and, thereafter, as capital gain.

*Cash Flow*

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $4.0 million versus $121.3 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a net loss of $108.9 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to net income of $23.4 million for the same period of 2011, which resulted from lower charter rates achieved in the first nine months of 2012 versus the prior year period for the majority of the vessels in our fleet.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $3.2 million and $100.4 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to fewer funds used for purchases of vessels during the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, cash used in investing activities primarily related to the purchase of fixed assets in the amount of $1.9 million and vessel related equipment totaling $0.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, cash used in investing activities predominantly related to purchases of vessels in the amount of $98.9 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $132.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to thirty-nine thousand dollars during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the Company prepaying an aggregate of $99.9 million under its agreements to amend the 2007 Credit Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility in August 2012 as well as making a scheduled debt repayment under the 2007 Credit Facility of $48.2 million in July 2012. This was offset by $49.9 million of net proceeds provided by our follow-on offering in

SEQ.=1,FOLIO='43',FILE='C:\JMS\jkeene\12-19925-1\task5654154\19925-1-bm.htm',USER='jkeene',CD='Nov 7 13:01 2012'

Table of Contents

February 2012. Cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2012 consisted of $118.6 million repayment of debt under the 2007 Credit Facility, $40.6 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $15.4 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $4.3 million of deferred financing costs and the $3.9 million dividend payment of our subsidiary, Baltic Trading, to its outside shareholders. Cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of 2011 mainly consisted of $21.5 million of proceeds from the $253 Million Term Loan Facility related to the Bourbon vessels acquired and $40.0 million of proceeds from the $100 Million Term Loan Facility related to the Metrostar vessels acquired offset by the following uses of cash: $37.5 million repayment of debt under the 2007 Credit Facility, $14.8 million repayment of debt under the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, $3.2 million repayment of debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $5.6 million dividend payment of our subsidiary, Baltic Trading, to its outside shareholders.

*Credit Facilities*

Refer to the 2011 10-K for a summary and description of our outstanding credit facilities, including the underlying financial and non-financial covenants. On August 1, 2012 we entered into the August 2012 Agreements, which amended or waived certain provision of the agreements for the 2007 Credit Facility, the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 9 Long-Term Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the terms and fees associated with these agreements.

As of September 30, 2012, we believe we are in compliance with all of the financial covenants under our 2007 Credit Facility, as amended; the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, as amended; the $253 Million Term Loan Facility, as amended and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility.

*Interest Rate Swap Agreements, Forward Freight Agreements and Currency Swap Agreements*

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had five and eight interest rate swap agreements with DnB NOR Bank, respectively, to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The total notional principal amount of the swaps is $356.2 million and $606.2 million, respectively, and the swaps have specified rates and durations.

Refer to the table in Note 11 Interest Rate Swap Agreements of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which summarizes the interest rate swaps in place as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

We have considered the creditworthiness of both ourselves and the counterparty in determining the fair value of the interest rate derivatives, and such consideration resulted in an immaterial adjustment to the fair value of derivatives on the balance sheet. Valuations prior to any adjustments for credit risk are validated by comparison with counterparty valuations. Amounts are not and should not be identical due to the different modeling assumptions. Any material differences are investigated.

As part of our business strategy, we may enter into arrangements commonly known as forward freight agreements, or FFAs, to hedge and manage market risks relating to the deployment of our existing fleet of vessels. These arrangements may include future contract, or commitments to perform in the future a shipping service between ship owners, charterers and traders. Generally, these arrangements would bind us and each counterparty in the arrangement to buy or sell a specified tonnage freighting commitment forward at an agreed time and price and for a particular route. Although FFAs can be entered into for a variety of purposes, including for hedging, as an option, for trading or for arbitrage, if we decided to enter into FFAs, our objective would be to hedge and manage market risks as part of our commercial management. It is not currently our intention to enter into FFAs to generate a stream of income independent of the revenues we derive from the operation of our fleet of vessels. If we determine to enter into FFAs, we may reduce our exposure to any declines in our results from operations due to weak market conditions or downturns, but may also limit our ability to benefit economically during periods of strong demand in the market. We have not entered into any FFAs as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

*Contractual Obligations*

The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and their maturity dates as of September 30, 2012. The table incorporates the employment agreement entered into in September 2007 with our Chief Financial Officer, John Wobensmith. The interest and borrowing fees reflect the 2007 Credit Facility, the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, the $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2010 Notes utilizing the coupon rate of 5% which were issued on July 27, 2010 and the interest rate swap agreements as discussed above under the section Interest Rate Swap Agreements, Forward Freight Agreements and Currency Swap Agreements. On August 1, 2012, we entered into the August 2012 agreements which amended or waived certain provisions of the 2007 Credit Facility, the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and the $253 Million Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 9 Long-Term Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the fees and debt prepayments required as part of the agreements. We have included these amounts in the credit agreement payments and interest

and borrowing fees below. The following table also incorporates the future lease payments associated with our two lease agreements. Refer to Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the terms of our two lease agreements.

(1) Represents the three-month period ending December 31, 2012.

(2) Includes the 1.25% fee payable to lenders under the 2007 Credit Facility due upon the maturity of the facility.

Interest expense has been estimated using the fixed hedge rate for the effective period and notional amount of the debt which is effectively hedged and 0.25% for the portion of the debt that has no designated swap against it, plus the applicable bank margin of 3.00% for the 2007 Credit Facility, $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility. We are obligated to pay certain commitment fees in connection with all of our credit facilities, which have been reflected within interest and borrowing fees. These commitment fees include the facility fee for the 2007 Credit Facility which represents 1.0% per annum on the average daily outstanding principal amount of the outstanding loans under the facility.

*Capital Expenditures*

We make capital expenditures from time to time in connection with our vessel acquisitions. Excluding Baltic Tradings vessels, our fleet currently consists of nine Capesize drybulk carriers, eight Panamax drybulk carriers, 17 Supramax drybulk carriers, six Handymax drybulk carriers and 13 Handysize drybulk carriers. Baltic Tradings fleet currently consists of two Capesize drybulk carriers, four Supramax drybulk carriers and three Handysize drybulk carriers.

In addition to acquisitions that we may undertake in future periods, we will incur additional expenditures due to special surveys and drydockings. We estimate our drydocking costs and scheduled off-hire days for our fleet through 2013 to be:

Year	Estimated Drydocking Cost	Estimated Off-hire Days
	(U.S. dollars in millions)
2012 (October 1- December 31, 2012)	$	2
2013	$ 7.8	200

The costs reflected are estimates based on drydocking our vessels in China. Actual costs will vary based on various factors, including where the drydockings are actually performed. We expect to fund these costs with cash from operations. The Genco Hunter drydock concluded on October 2, 2012. The majority of the costs associated with this drydock were incurred during the third quarter of 2012.

We estimate that each drydock will result in 20 days of off-hire. Actual length will vary based on the condition of the vessel, yard schedules and other factors. Included in the total estimated offhire days during the fourth quarter of 2012 is a portion of the Genco Hunter drydock which amounted to two days.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we incurred a total of $10.4 million and $2.7 million of drydocking costs, respectively.

We estimate that none of our vessels will be drydocked in the remainder of 2012. An additional 10 of our vessels will be drydocked in 2013.

*Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements*

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

*Inflation*

Inflation has only a moderate effect on our expenses given current economic conditions. In the event that significant global inflationary pressures appear, these pressures would increase our operating, voyage, general and administrative, and financing costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes or updates to the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the 2011 10-K.

Vessels and Depreciation

We record the value of our vessels at their cost (which includes acquisition costs directly attributable to the vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage) less accumulated depreciation. We depreciate our drybulk vessels on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, estimated to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation is based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value of $245/lwt. We estimate residual scrap value based on the 15-year average scrap value of steel. An increase in the residual value of the vessels would decrease the annual depreciation charge over the remaining useful life of the vessel. Similarly, an increase in the useful life of a drybulk vessel would also decrease the annual depreciation charge. Comparatively, a decrease in the useful life of a drybulk vessel or in its residual value would have the effect of increasing the annual depreciation charge. However, when regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, we will adjust the vessels useful life to end at the date such regulations preclude such vessels further commercial use.

The carrying value of each of our vessels does not represent the fair market value of such vessel or the amount we could obtain if we were to sell any of our vessels, which could be more or less. U nder U.S. GAAP, we would not record a loss if the fair market value of a vessel (excluding its charter) is below our carrying value unless and until we determine to sell that vessel or the vessel is impaired as discussed in the 2011 10-K. Excluding the three Bourbon vessels we resold immediately upon delivery to MEP at our cost, we have sold three of our vessels since our inception and realized a profit in each instance. However, we did determine to cancel an acquisition of six drybulk newbuildings in November 2008, incurring a $53.8 million loss from the forfeiture of our deposit and related interest.

Pursuant to our bank credit facilities, we regularly submit to the lenders valuations of our vessels on an individual charter free basis in order to evidence our compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants under our bank credit facilities. Such a valuation is not necessarily the same as the amount any vessel may bring upon sale, which may be more or less, and should not be relied upon as such. We were in compliance with the collateral maintenance covenants under our $100 Million Term Loan Facility and our $253 Million Term Loan Facility, as well as the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility, at September 30, 2012, and the collateral maintenance covenant under our 2007 Credit Facility was waived at September 30, 2012, as discussed in Note 9 Long-Term Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements. In the chart below, we list each of our vessels that represent the collateral for the aforementioned credit facilities, the year it was built, the year we acquired it, and its carrying value at September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, the vessel valuations of all of our vessels for covenant compliance purposes under our bank credit facilities as of the most recent compliance testing date were lower than their carrying values at September 30, 2012. For the Genco Ocean, Genco Bay, Genco Avra, Genco Mare and Genco Spirit, the last compliance testing date was August 17, 2012, in accordance with the terms of the $100 Million Term Loan Facility; and for all other vessels, the compliance testing date was June 30, 2012, in accordance with the terms of the applicable credit facility.

The amount by which the carrying value at September 30, 2012 of all of the vessels in our fleet exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes ranged, on an individual vessel basis, from $3.7 million to $75.8 million per vessel, compared to $2.2 million to $73.8 million per vessel as of December 31, 2011. The average amount by which the carrying value of our vessels exceeded the valuation of such vessels for covenant compliance purposes was $22.3 million as of September 30, 2012 and $19.6 million as of December 31, 2011. However, neither such valuation nor the carrying value in the table below reflects the value of long-term time charters related to some of our vessels.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

*Interest rate risk*

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on our earnings and cash flow in relation to our borrowings. We held five and eight interest rate swap agreements with DnB Bank ASA at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, to manage future interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The total notional principal amount of the swaps is $356.2 million and $606.2 million, respectively, and the swaps have specified rates and durations. Refer to the table in Note 11 Interest Rate Swap Agreements of our condensed consolidated financial statements which summarizes the interest rate swaps in place as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The swap agreements with effective dates prior to September 30, 2012 synthetically convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt at the fixed interest rate of the swap plus the applicable margin of 2.00% until August 1, 2012 and 3.00% thereafter during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. E ffective August 1, 2012, the applicable margin over LIBOR for the 2007 Credit Facility increased from 2.00% to 3.00% pursuant to the August 2012 Agreements. Refer to Note 9 Long-Term Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding this amendment.

The total liability associated with the swaps at September 30, 2012 is $18.9 million, of which $0.6 million is current, and $25.3 million at December 31, 2011, of which $1.7 million is current, and is presented as the fair value of derivatives on the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCI) of ($18.9) million and ($25.2) million, respectively, related to the effectively hedged portion of the swaps. Hedge ineffectiveness associated with the interest rate swaps resulted in a minimal amount of other income (expense) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. At September 30, 2012, ($10.1) million of AOCI is expected to be reclassified into income over the next 12 months associated with interest rate derivatives.

We are subject to market risks relating to changes in LIBOR rates because we have significant amounts of floating rate debt outstanding. For the nine month period ending September 30, 2011, we paid LIBOR plus 2.00% on the 2007 Credit Facility for the debt in excess of any designated swaps notional amount for such swaps effective period. Effective December 21, 2011, we were also subject to a facility fee of 2.00% per annum on the average daily outstanding principal amount of the outstanding loan under the 2007 Credit Facility pursuant to the amendment entered into with our lenders under this facility which was reduced to 1.0% on February 28, 2012 when we consummated an equity offering resulting in gross proceeds of $53.3 million . Additionally, e ffective August 1, 2012, the applicable margin over LIBOR for the 2007 Credit Facility increased from 2.00% to 3.00% pursuant to the August 2012 Agreements. Refer to Note 9 Long-Term Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding these amendments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we also paid LIBOR plus 3.00% on the outstanding debt under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, $253 Million Term Loan Facility and the 2010 Baltic Trading Credit Facility. A 1% increase in LIBOR would result in an increase of $8.6 million in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, considering the increase would be only on the unhedged portion of the debt.

*Derivative financial instruments*

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we held five and eight interest rate swap agreements, respectively, with DnB Bank ASA to manage interest costs and the risk associated with changing interest rates. The total notional principal amount of the swaps is $356.2 million and $606.2 million, respectively, and the swaps have specified rates and durations. Refer to the table in

Note 11 Interest Rate Swap Agreements of our condensed consolidated financial statements which summarizes the interest rate swaps in place as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The differential to be paid or received for these swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense as incurred. The interest rate differential pertaining to the interest rate swaps for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $3.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The interest rate differential pertaining to the interest rate swaps for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $10.4 million and $22.0 million, respectively. The Company is currently utilizing cash flow hedge accounting for the swaps whereby the effective portion of the change in value of the swaps is reflected as a component of AOCI. The ineffective portion is recognized as other (expense) income, which is a component of other (expense) income. If for any period of time we did not designate the swaps for hedge accounting, the change in the value of the swap agreements prior to designation would be recognized as other (expense) income.

Amounts receivable or payable arising at the settlement of hedged interest rate swaps are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the period of interest rate exposure provided the designated liability continues to exist. Amounts receivable or payable arising at the settlement of unhedged interest rate swaps are reflected as other (expense) income and is listed as a component of other (expense) income.

Refer to Interest rate risk section above for further information regarding the interest rate swap agreements.

*Currency and exchange rates risk*

The international shipping industrys functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. Virtually all of our revenues and most of our operating costs are in U.S. Dollars. We incur certain operating expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and the foreign exchange risk associated with these operating expenses is immaterial.

As part of our business strategy, we may enter into short-term forward currency contracts to protect ourselves from the risk arising from the fluctuation in the exchange rate associated with the cost basis of the Jinhui shares.

*Investments*

We hold an investment in Jinhui of $23.8 million at September 30, 2012, which is classified as available for sale under Accounting Standards Codification 320-10, Investments Debt and Equity Securities (ASC 320-10). The investment is classified as a noncurrent asset based on our intent to hold the investment at each reporting date. The investments that are classified as available for sale are subject to risk of changes in market value, which if determined to be impaired (other than temporarily impaired), could result in realized impairment losses. The Company reviews the carrying value of such investments on a quarterly basis to determine if any valuation adjustments are appropriate under ASC 320-10. We will continue to evaluate the investment on a quarterly basis to determine the likelihood of any further significant adverse effects on the fair value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we have not deemed our investment to be impaired. In the event we determine that the Jinhui investment is subject to any impairment, the amount of the impairment would be reclassified from AOCI and recorded as a loss in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the amount of the impairment.

ITEM 4 . CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

*EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES*

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

*CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING*

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
