VESSEL ACQUISITIONS | 5 - VESSEL ACQUISITIONS On November 13, 2013, Baltic Trading entered into agreements to purchase up to four 64,000 dwt Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels from Yangfan Group Co., Ltd. for a purchase price of $28,000 per vessel, or up to $112,000 in the aggregate. Baltic Trading agreed to purchase two such vessels, to be renamed the Baltic Hornet and Baltic Wasp, and obtained an option to purchase up to two additional such vessels for the same purchase price, which Baltic Trading exercised on January 8, 2014. These vessels are to be renamed the Baltic Mantis and the Baltic Scorpion. The purchases are subject to completion of customary additional documentation and closing conditions. The first of these vessels, the Baltic Hornet, was delivered to Baltic Trading on October 29, 2014. The Baltic Wasp was delivered to Baltic Trading on January 2, 2015. The Baltic Scorpion and the Baltic Mantis are expected to be delivered to Baltic Trading during the second and third quarters of 2015, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, deposits on vessels were $19,237 and $25,593, respectively. Baltic Trading intends to use a combination of cash on hand, future cash flow from operations as well as debt or equity financing, including the Baltic Trading $148 Million Credit Facility as described in Note 9 — Debt, to fully finance the acquisition of the remaining two Ultramax newbuilding drybulk vessels. On December 30, 2014, Baltic Trading paid $19,645 for the final payment due for the Baltic Wasp which was classified as noncurrent Restricted Cash in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 as the payment was held in an escrow account and was released to the seller when the vessel was delivered to Baltic Trading on January 2, 2015. Refer to Note 1 — General Information for a listing of the vessel delivery dates for the vessels in the Company’s fleet and the estimated delivery dates for vessels that Baltic Trading has entered into agreements to purchase. Below market time charters, including those acquired during previous periods, were amortized as an increase to voyage revenue in the amount of $49 by the Predecessor Company during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The remaining unamortized fair market value of Time charters acquired at December 31, 2014 was $0. As part of fresh-start reporting, the remaining liability for below market time charters was written-off during the re-valuation of our liabilities. Capitalized interest expense associated with the newbuilding contracts entered into by Baltic Trading recorded by the Successor Company and the Predecessor Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $124 and $98, respectively.
