(1) | Profit sharing refers to an arrangement between vessel-owning companies and charterers to share a predetermined percentage voyage profit in excess of the basic rate. |
(2) | On November 14, 2012, OSG made a voluntary filing for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. After discussions between the Partnership and OSG, it was agreed to enter into new charters contracts on substantially the same terms as the prior charters but at a bareboat rate of $6,250 per day. OSG has the option of extending the employment of each vessel following the completion of the bareboat charters for an additional two years on a time chartered basis at a rate of $16,500 per day. OSG has an option to purchase each of the three STX vessels at the end of the eighth, ninth or tenth year of the charter, for $38.0 million, $35.5 million and $33.0 million respectively, which option is exercisable six months before the date of completion of the eighth, ninth or tenth year of the charter. The expiration date above may therefore change depending on whether the charterer exercises its purchase option. |
(3) | 50/50 profit share for breaching IWL (Institute Warranty Limits applies to voyages to certain ports at certain periods of the year). |
(4) | M/V Archimidis and the M/V Agamemnon are employed on time charters with PIL for one year at a gross rate of $8,950 per day. Charters have the option to extend the time charters for an additional one year +/-60 days at a gross rate of $20,000 per day. |
(5) | The M/T British Ensign is continuing its bareboat charter with BP at a bareboat rate of $7,250 per day with earliest redelivery in October 2016. |
The M/T British Envoy is continuing its bareboat charter with BP at a bareboat rate of $7,250 per day with earliest redelivery in January 2017.
The M/T British Emissary is continuing its bareboat charter with BP at a bareboat rate of $7,000 per day with earliest redelivery in March 2017. BP has the option to extend the duration of the charter for up to a further 12 months either as bareboat charter at a bareboat rate of $7,250 per day for the optional period if declared or as time charter at a time charter rate of $14,250 per day if declared.
(6) | Each of the vessel owning companies of the M/V Hyundai Prestige, the M/V Hyundai Paramount, the M/V Hyundai Premium, the M/V Hyundai Privilege and the M/V Hyundai Platinum entered into a charter restructuring agreement with HMM on July 15, 2016. This agreement provides for the reduction of the charter rate payable under the respective charter parties by 20% to a gross rate of $23,480 per day (from $29,350 per day) for a three and a half year period starting on July 18, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2019 (the Charter Reduction Period). The charter restructuring agreement further provides that at the end of the Charter Reduction Period, the charter rate under the respective charter parties will be restored to the original gross daily rate of $29,350 until the expiry of each charter. |
(7) | On July 2, 2016, the M/T Agisilaos has replaced the M/T Arionas under the charter party to Flopec at a gross rate of $19,000 per day, as the M/T Arionas will undergo its scheduled special survey. For the duration of the replacement, Carnation Shipping Company, the vessel owning company of M/T Arionas under the charter party to Flopec, will act as disponent owner to M/T Agisilaos. The M/T Arionas is trading on voyage charters until its scheduled special survey, which is expected to take place no later than November 2016. |
Recent Developments
We generally rely on external financing sources to refinance our external debt, as well as fund our capital expenditures and expand our asset base.
In April 2016, in the face of severely depressed trading prices for master limited partnerships, including us, a significant deterioration in our cost of capital and potential loss of revenue, the Board of Directors (the Board) took the decision to protect our liquidity position by creating a capital reserve, provisioning further reserves and setting distributions at a level that the Board believes to be sustainable and consistent with the proper conduct of our business.
The capital reserve, set by the Board at approximately $14.6 million per quarter, is intended to address amortization requirements under our credit facilities until the end of 2018. As previously announced, we started repaying one of our credit facilities in the first quarter of 2016, while our other credit facilities will commence amortization in the fourth quarter of 2017, for a total of approximately $177.1 million in scheduled debt amortization until the end of 2018.
In addition, certain shipping markets, in particular the container and dry cargo markets, have been affected by a prolonged downturn. HMM, a charterer of container vessels and one of our largest counterparties in terms of revenues, pursued a restructuring process that completed in July 2016. Our vessel owning subsidiaries which have charter agreements with HMM agreed to a 20% reduction to the applicable gross daily charter rates for a three and half year period expected to end in December 2019 (for a total amount of approximately $37.0 million) in exchange for HMM common shares. See Note 12 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein for further information.
The Board seeks to maintain a balance between the level of reserves it takes to protect our financial position and liquidity against the desirability of maintaining distributions on the limited partnership interests. As previously announced, we intend to review our distributions from time to time in the light of a range of factors, including, among other things, our access to the capital markets, the refinancing of our external debt, the level of our capital expenditures and our ability to pursue accretive transactions. For further information on risks affecting the level of distributions, see Item 3. Key InformationD. Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Business and OperationsWe cannot assure you that we will pay any distributions in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Factors Affecting Our Future Results of Operations
Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed on February 17, 2016, regarding the factors affecting our future results of operations.
5
Results of Operations
Six month Period Ended June 30, 2016 Compared to the Six month Period Ended June 30, 2015
Our results of operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 differ primarily due to the expansion of our fleet and the resulting increase in the average number of vessels during the period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2015.
On March 31, June 10, June 30 and September 18, 2015, the Partnership acquired the shares of the companies owning the M/T Active, the M/V Akadimos (renamed to CMA CGM Amazon), the M/T Amadeus and the M/V Adonis (renamed to CMA CGM Uruguay), respectively, and on February 26, 2016 the Partnership took delivery of the M/V Anaxagoras (renamed to CMA CGM Magdalena).
Revenues
Time, voyage and bareboat charter revenues amounted to approximately $119.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, compared to $103.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $15.6 million was primarily attributable to the expansion of our fleet. For the six month period ended June 30, 2016, related party revenues decreased to $19.2 million, compared to $36.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to the decrease in the number of vessels chartered by Capital Maritime. Time, voyage and bareboat charter revenues are mainly comprised of the charter hire received from unaffiliated third-party charterers and Capital Maritime and are affected by the number of days our vessels operate, the average number of vessels in our fleet and the charter rates.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2016, HMM, Petrobras, CMTC and CMA CGM accounted for 19%, 17%, 16% and 16% of the Partnerships total revenue, respectively. For information on the risks arising from a concentration of counterparties, see Item 3. Key InformationD. Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our Business and OperationsWe currently derive all of our revenue from a limited number of customers and the loss of any customer or charter or vessel could result in significant loss of revenues and cash flow in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Voyage Expenses
Total voyage expenses amounted to $4.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, compared to $2.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The increase in voyage expenses of $1.6 million is primarily due to the expansion of our fleet and the increase in bunkers consumption during the period, mainly due to the idle period of two of our container vessels and the ballast voyages of four of our vessels that underwent special survey. Voyage expenses primarily consist of bunkers, port expenses and commissions. Voyage expenses are paid for by the charterer under time and bareboat charters, except for commissions, which are paid for by us. Voyage expenses under voyage charters are paid for by us.
Vessel Operating Expenses
For the six month period ended June 30, 2016, our total vessel operating expenses amounted to approximately $38.0 million, of which $5.3 million were incurred under our management agreements with Capital Ship Management Corp. (our Manager) and included $0.1 million in additional fees and certain costs associated with the vetting of our vessels, repairs related to unforeseen extraordinary events (as defined in our fixed fee management agreement) and insurance deductibles.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2015, our vessel operating expenses amounted to approximately $33.5 million, of which $5.9 million were incurred under our management agreements with our Manager and included $0.3 million in additional fees and certain costs associated with the vetting of our vessels, repairs related to unforeseen extraordinary events (as defined in our fixed fee management agreement) and insurance deductibles.
The increase in our total vessel operating expenses was primarily due to the expansion of our fleet.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses amounted to $2.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, compared to $3.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease resulted mainly from expenses relating to a proposed offering of debt securities in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, during which there were no such expenses incurred. General and administrative expenses include board of directors fees and expenses, audit and legal fees, and other fees related to the requirements of being a publicly traded partnership.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization amounted to $35.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, compared to $29.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due to the expansion of our fleet.
Total Other Expense, Net
Total other expense, net for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $11.7 million, compared to $8.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $3.3 million reflects the higher interest costs of $12.1 million incurred during the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to $9.5 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2015, driven by an increase in the weighted average interest rate and principal amounts outstanding under our credit facilities.
The weighted average interest rate on the loans outstanding under our credit facilities was 3.71% as of June 30, 2016 (as of June 30, 2015: 3.34%). Our total borrowing was $597.9 million as of June 30, 2016 (as of June 30, 2015: $531.7 million). See Note 6 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Partnerships Net Income
Partnerships net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $27.0 million, compared to $26.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2016, total cash and cash equivalents amounted to $55.2 million and restricted cash (under our credit facilities) amounted to $17.5 million. As of June 30, 2016, there were no undrawn amounts under the terms of our credit facilities.
Generally, our primary sources of funds have been cash from operations, bank borrowings and securities offerings. As our vessels come up for re-chartering, depending on the prevailing market rates, we may not be able to re-charter them at levels similar to their current charters, which may affect our future cash flows from operations. Cash flow from operations may further be affected by other factors. Because we distribute all of our available cash (a contractually defined term, generally referring to cash on hand at the end of each quarter after provision for reserves), we generally rely upon external financing sources, including bank borrowings and securities offerings, to fund acquisitions and expansion and investment capital expenditures, such as opportunities we may pursue under the amended and restated omnibus agreement with Capital Maritime or acquisitions from third parties, and to refinance or repay outstanding indebtedness under our credit facilities. Our ability to grow through further dropdown opportunities from Capital Maritime, our sponsor, or third parties, and to pay or increase our distributions as well as to maintain a strong balance sheet will depend on, among other things, our continuous access to the financial markets.
In April 2016, in the face of severely depressed trading prices for master limited partnerships, including us, a significant increase in our cost of capital and potential loss of revenue, the Board took the decision to protect our liquidity position by creating a capital reserve, provisioning further reserves and setting distributions at a level that the Board believes to be sustainable and consistent with the proper conduct of our business. See above Recent Developments.
Subject to financial markets developments and our cash position among other factors, we expect to continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire vessels and businesses. As a result, the size and composition of our fleet may change over time. In connection with evaluating and pursuing these opportunities and as we seek to optimize our capital structure, we may also evaluate and, depending on market conditions, pursue financing opportunities. We currently have no capital commitments to purchase or build additional vessels. For the twelve month period ending June 30, 2017, we anticipate that one of our vessels will undergo special survey.
Total Partners Capital as of June 30, 2016 amounted to $921.2 million compared to $937.8 million as of June 30, 2015, corresponding to a decrease of $16.6 million. The decrease primarily reflects $44.1 million of distributions declared and paid during the six month period ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by net income of $27.0 million and equity compensation expense of $0.5 million.
Notwithstanding the continuing economic downturn, the duration and long-term effects of which are not possible to predict, and subject to shipping, charter and financial market developments, we believe that our working capital will be sufficient to meet our existing liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents provided by / (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the periods, presented in millions:
For the six month periods | ||||||||
ended June 30, | ||||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities |
$ | 57.5 | $ | 62.3 | ||||
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities |
$ | (74.5 | ) | $ | (135.6 | ) | ||
Net Cash (Used in) / Provided by Financing Activities |
$ | (17.9 | ) | $ | 25.7 |
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $57.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to $62.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease of $4.8 million was attributable to the $1.4 million increase in dry-docking costs paid and the negative effect from the change in our operating assets and liabilities between the two periods of $10.4 million, mainly due to the increase in the amounts reimbursed by us to our Manager for expenses paid by our Manager on our behalf. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by a $7.0 million increase in cash from operations before changes to our operating assets and liabilities during the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2015, mainly due to the increase in the size of our fleet.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities refer primarily to cash used for vessel acquisitions. Net cash used in investing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $74.5 million compared to $135.6 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease of $61.1 million in net cash flows used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the lower number of vessels acquired in the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding period in 2015. We paid $134.1 million for the acquisition of the shares of three vessel owning companies during the six month period ended June 30, 2015, compared to $73.6 million for the acquisition of the shares of one vessel owning company during the six month period ended June 30, 2016. Following the acquisition of lower number of vessels during the six month period ended June 30, 2016, restricted cash increased by $0.5 million compared to $1.5 million during the corresponding period in 2015. Cash consideration paid for vessels improvements for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $0.4 million compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2015 where there were no such improvements paid.
7
Net Cash (Used in) / Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, amounted to $17.9 million compared to $25.7 million provided by financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease of $43.6 million was mainly attributable to the absence of issuance of common units in the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to $132.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common units in the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and a decrease of $37.4 million in drawdowns under our credit facilities in the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding period in 2015, as we acquired the shares of three vessel owning companies in the first six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to one vessel owning company in the first six months ended June 30, 2016. This was partially offset by a decrease of $109.9 million in debt principal payments in the first six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2015, during which we used part of the net proceeds from the issuance of common units to prepay debt of $115.9 million, a decrease of $15.0 million in distributions to our unit holders (see Recent Developments above) and a decrease of $1.7 million in deferred financing costs paid during the six month period ended June 30, 2016 compared with the six month period ended June 30, 2015.
Borrowings
Our long-term borrowings are reflected in our balance sheet as Long-term debt, net and as current liabilities in Current portion of long-term debt, net. As of June 30, 2016, total borrowings were $597.9 million, consisting of: (i) $186.0 million outstanding under our $370.0 million credit facility (the 2007 credit facility); (ii) $181.6 million outstanding under our $350.0 million credit facility (the 2008 credit facility); (iii) $14.0 million outstanding under our $25.0 million credit facility (the 2011 credit facility) and (iv) $216.3 million under our $225,000 credit facility (the 2013 credit facility). As of December 31, 2015, total borrowings were $571.6 million consisting of: (i) $186.0 million outstanding under the 2007 credit facility; (ii) $181.6 million outstanding under the 2008 credit facility; (iii) $14.0 million outstanding under the 2011 credit facility and (iv) $190.0 million under the 2013 credit facility. As of June 30, 2016, long-term debt, net of current portion was $580.6 million, compared to $558.6 million as of December 31, 2015. The current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2016 was $17.4 million, compared to $13.0 million as of December 31, 2015.
Credit Facilities
For information relating to our credit facilities, please refer to Note 7 to our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Note 6 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2016 we drew down an amount of $35.0 million from our 2013 credit facility in order to partly finance the acquisition of the shares of the vessel owning company of M/V CMA CGM Magdalena.
As at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $0.0 million and $35.0 million, respectively, in undrawn amounts under our credit facilities, and were in compliance with all financial debt covenants. Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our credit facilities and any other debt instruments we may issue or enter into in the future may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions, such as interest rate developments, changes in the funding costs offered by our banks and changes in asset valuations. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. If we are in breach of any of the restrictions, covenants, ratios or tests in our credit facilities, we are unlikely to be able to make any distributions to our unitholders, a significant portion of our obligations may become immediately due and payable and, in the future, our lenders commitment to make further loans to us (to the extent applicable) may terminate. We may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments. In addition, obligations under our credit facilities are secured by our vessels, and if we are unable to repay debt under the credit facilities, the lenders could seek to foreclose on those assets.
Furthermore, any contemplated vessel acquisitions will have to be at levels that do not impair the required ratios set out above. Any reduction or adverse change in the global economic activity or shipping markets may result in a deterioration of vessel values. If the estimated asset values of the vessels in our fleet decrease, we may be obligated to pre-pay part of our outstanding debt in order to remain in compliance with the relevant covenants in our credit facilities. A decline in the market value of our vessels could also lead to a default under any prospective credit facility to which we become a party, affect our ability to refinance our credit facilities and/or limit our ability to obtain additional financing. An increase/decrease of 10% of the aggregate fair market values of our vessels would not cause any breach of the total indebtedness to aggregate market value covenants contained in our credit facilities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
A discussion of the Partnerships critical accounting policies can be found in the Partnerships Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Changes in Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our accounting policies during the six month period ended June 30, 2016.

Capital Product Partners L.P.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands of United States Dollars)
1. Basis of Presentation and General Information
Capital Product Partners L.P. (the Partnership) was formed on January 16, 2007, under the laws of the Marshall Islands. The Partnership is an international shipping company. Its fleet of thirty five high specification vessels consists of four suezmax crude oil tankers, twenty modern medium range tankers all of which are classed as IMO II/III vessels, ten post panamax container carrier vessels, and one capesize bulk carrier. Its vessels are capable of carrying a wide range of cargoes, including crude oil, refined oil products, such as gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and jet fuel, edible oils and certain chemicals such as ethanol as well as dry cargo and containerized goods under short-term voyage charters and medium to long-term time and bareboat charters.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnerships Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 17, 2016.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnerships financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
A discussion of the Partnerships significant accounting policies can be found in the Partnerships Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No 2016-09, Stock Compensation, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The guidance will be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued the ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The main provision of this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The FASB decided to not fundamentally change lessor accounting. However, some changes have been made to lessor accounting to conform and align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within U.S. GAAP. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, to simplify the measurement of inventory using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method. According to this ASU an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership believes that the implementation of this update will not have any material impact on its financial statements and has not elected the early adoption.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No 2014-09 as amended by ASU 2016-08 which was issued in March 2016, ASU 2016-10 which was issued in April 2016 and ASU 2016-12 which was issued in May 2016, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This standard is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard.

(the Manager or CSM) arising from certain terms of the following three different types of management agreements.
1. | Fixed fee management agreement: At the time of the completion of the Initial Public Offering (IPO) the Partnership entered into an agreement with its Manager, according to which the Manager provides the Partnership with certain commercial and technical management services for a fixed daily fee per managed vessel which covers the commercial and technical management services, the respective vessels operating costs such as crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, and lubricants as well as the cost of the first special survey or next scheduled dry-docking, of each vessel. In addition to the fixed daily fees payable under the management agreement, the Manager is entitled to supplementary compensation for additional fees and costs (as defined in the agreement) of any direct and indirect additional expenses it reasonably incurs in providing these services, which may vary from time to time. The Partnership also pays a fixed daily fee per bareboat chartered vessel in its fleet, mainly to cover compliance and commercial costs, which include those costs incurred by the Manager to remain in compliance with the oil majors requirements, including vetting requirements; |
2. | Floating fee management agreement: On June 9, 2011, the Partnership entered into an agreement with its Manager based on actual expenses with an initial term of five years. Under the terms of this agreement the Partnership compensates its Manager for expenses and liabilities incurred on the Partnerships behalf while providing the agreed services, including, but not limited to, crew, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, lubricants and other operating costs. Costs and expenses associated with a managed vessels next scheduled dry docking are borne by the Partnership and not by the Manager. The Partnership also pays its Manager a daily technical management fee per managed vessel that is revised annually based on the United States Consumer Price Index; and |
3. | Crude management agreement: On September 30, 2011, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Crude Carriers Corp. and its subsidiaries (Crude). Three of the five crude tanker vessels that the Partnership acquired at the time of the completion of the merger with Crude, continue to be managed under a management agreement entered into in March 2010 with the Manager, whose initial term expires on December 31, 2020. Under the terms of this agreement, the Partnership compensates the Manager for all expenses and liabilities incurred on the Partnerships behalf while providing the agreed services, including, but not limited to, crew, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, lubricants and other operating and administrative costs. The Partnership also pays its Manager the following fees: |
(a) a daily technical management fee per managed vessel that is revised annually based on the United States Consumer Price Index;
(b) a sale and purchase fee equal to 1% of the gross purchase or sale price upon the consummation of any purchase or sale of a vessel acquired by Crude ; and
(c) a commercial services fee equal to 1.25% of all gross charter revenues generated by each vessel for commercial services rendered.
The Manager has the right to terminate the Crude management agreement and, under certain circumstances, could receive substantial sums in connection with such termination. As of March 2016 this termination fee was adjusted to $9,858 from $9,760.
All the above three agreements constitute the Management Agreements and the related management fees are included in Vessel operating expenses related party in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Under the terms of the fixed fee management agreement, the Manager charges the Partnership for additional fees and costs, relating to insurances deductibles, vetting, and repairs and spares that related to unforeseen events. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 such fees amounted to $99 and $268 respectively and are included in Vessel operating expenses related party in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

All of the Partnerships vessels as of June 30, 2016 have been provided as collateral to secure the Partnerships credit facilities.
On February 26, 2016, the Partnership acquired the shares of the vessel-owning company of the M/V CMA CGM Magdalena for a total consideration of $81,500 which was funded by loan drawdown of $35,000 from the Partnerships 2013 credit facility (Note 6) and the remaining balance of $46,500 through the Partnerships available cash. The Partnership accounted for this acquisition as acquisition of asset based on the absence of processes attached to the inputs. Other than the new building and the attached time charter, no other inputs and no processes were acquired. The Partnership considered whether any value should be assigned to the attached charter party agreement acquired and concluded that the contracted daily charter rate was above the market rates on the transaction completion date and therefore, the total consideration was allocated to the vessel cost and the above market acquired charter. Thus the vessel was recorded in the Partnerships financial statements at a cost of $88,544 and the above market acquired charter at a cost of $3,206 (Note 5). As of December 31, 2015 the Partnership had paid advances of $7,922 to CMTC for the acquisition of the shares of this vessel-owning company. The difference of $10,250 between the cost of the vessel and the above market acquired charter of $91,750 and the total consideration of $81,500 was part of the excess of $36,417 that the Partnership had recorded in its financial statements in August 2014 upon the approval of the Master Agreement and the IDRs reset at the Partnerships annual meeting.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2016, the M/T Alkiviadis, the M/T Anemos I, the M/T Amore Mio II and the M/T Miltiadis M II underwent improvements during their scheduled special survey. The costs of these improvements for these vessels amounted to $303 and were capitalized as part of the vessels cost.

5. Above-market acquired charters
On February 26, 2016 the Partnership acquired the shares of the vessel owning company of the M/V CMA CGM Magdalena from CMTC with outstanding time charter to CMA-CGM S.A., which was above the market rate for equivalent time charters prevailing at the time of acquisition. The present value of the above market acquired time charter was estimated by the Partnership at $3,206 and recorded as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, revenues included a reduction of $7,060 and $7,631 as amortization of the above market acquired charters, respectively.

Details of the Partnerships credit facilities are discussed in Note 7 of the Partnerships Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015.
On February 23, 2016, the Partnership drew the amount of $35,000 from the Tranche B of its existing 2013 credit facility in order to partly finance the acquisition of the shares of the vessel-owning company of the M/V CMA CGM Magdalena (Note 4). During the six month period ended June 30, 2016 the Partnership repaid the amount of $8,677, in line with the amortization schedule of its 2013 credit facility. As of June 30, 2016 there were no undrawn amounts under the Partnerships credit facilities.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the Partnership was in compliance with all financial debt covenants.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 interest expense amounted to $11,055 and $8,230, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 and 2015 the weighted average interest rate of the Partnerships loan facilities was 3.71% and 3.34% respectively.
7. Financial Instruments
The Partnership follows the accounting guidance for financial instruments that establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

7. Financial Instruments continued
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities, trade receivables, due from related parties, due to related parties, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value. The fair values of long-term variable rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, due to their variable interest being the LIBOR and due to the fact the lenders have the ability to pass on their funding cost to the Partnership under certain circumstances, which reflects their current assessed risk. We believe the terms of our loans are similar to those that could be procured as of June 30, 2016. LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans and hence bank loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Partnership to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Partnership places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits with creditworthy financial institutions rated by qualified rating agencies. A limited number of financial institutions hold the Partnerships cash. Most of the Partnerships revenues were derived from a few charterers. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 there were four and two customers, respectively, that accounted for more than 10% of the Partnerships revenues. The Partnership does not obtain rights of collateral from its charterers to reduce its credit risk.

9. Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
On April 29, 2008, the board of directors approved the Partnerships Plan according to which the Partnership may issue a limited number of awards, not to exceed 500,000 units. The Plan was amended on July 22, 2010 increasing the aggregate number of restricted units issuable under the Plan to 800,000 which was then increased to 1,650,000 common units on August 21, 2014, at the annual general meeting of the Partnerships unit holders. The Plan is administered by the general partner as authorized by the board of directors. The persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan are officers, directors, and executive, managerial, administrative and professional employees of the Manager, or CMTC, or other eligible persons (collectively, key persons) as the general partner, in its sole discretion, shall select based upon such factors as it deems relevant. Members of the board of directors and officers of the general partner are considered to be employees of the Partnership (Employees) for the purposes of recognition of equity compensation expense, while employees of the Manager, CMTC and other eligible persons under the plan are not considered to be employees of the Partnership (Non-Employees). Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares.
On December 23, 2015 the Partnership awarded 240,000 and 610,000 unvested units to Employees and Non-Employees, respectively. Awards granted to certain Employees and Non-Employees will vest in three equal annual instalments. The remaining awards will vest on December 31, 2018.
All unvested units are conditional upon the grantees continued service as Employee and/or Non-Employee until the applicable vesting date.
The unvested units accrued distributions as declared and paid which are retained by the custodian of the Plan until the vesting date at which they were payable to the grantee. As unvested unit grantees accrued distributions on awards that are expected to vest, such distributions are charged to Partners capital. As of June 30, 2016 the unvested units accrued $266 of distributions.

For the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 the equity compensation expense that has been charged in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income was $219, $0 for the Employee awards and $306, $0 for the Non-Employee awards, respectively. This expense has been included in general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
As of June 30, 2016 the total compensation cost related to non vested awards is $2,584 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. The Partnership uses the straight-line method to recognize the cost of the awards.
10. Net Income Per Unit
The general partners and common unit holders interests in net income are calculated as if all net income for periods subsequent to April 4, 2007, were distributed according to the terms of the partnerships agreement, regardless of whether those earnings would or could be distributed. The Partnership Agreement does not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of available cash, which is a contractually-defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the end of each quarter after establishment of cash reserves determined by the Partnerships board of directors to provide for the proper resources for the Partnerships business. Unlike available cash, net income is affected by non-cash items. The Partnership follows the guidance relating to the Application of the Two-Class Method and its application to Master Limited Partnerships, which considers whether the incentive distributions of a master limited partnership represent a participating security when considered in the calculation of earnings per unit under the Two-Class Method.
This guidance also considers whether the partnership agreement contains any contractual limitations concerning distributions to the incentive distribution rights that would impact the amount of earnings to allocate to the incentive distribution rights for each reporting period.

10. Net Income Per Unit Continued
Under the Partnership Agreement, the holder of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership, which is currently CGP, assuming that there are no cumulative arrearages on common unit distributions, has the right to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributions after the minimum quarterly distribution.
The Partnerships net income for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 did not exceed the First Target Distribution Level, and as a result, the assumed distribution of net income did not result in the use of increasing percentages to calculate CGPs interest in net income.
As of June 30, 2016, the Partnership excluded the effect of 850,000 non-vested unit awards in calculating dilutive EPU for its common unitholders as they were anti-dilutive.
The Partnership excluded the effect of 12,983,333 Class B Convertible Preferred Units in calculating dilutive EPU as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 respectively as they were anti-dilutive.
The Two Class Method was used to calculate Earnings Per Unit (EPU) as follows:

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Various claims, suits and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Partnerships vessels. The Partnership is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Partnership accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. Currently, the Partnership is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

12. Subsequent events
a) | Dividends: On July 21, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.0750 per common unit for the second quarter of 2016, which will be paid on August 12, 2016, to unit holders of record on August 5, 2016. |
In addition, on July 21, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.21375 per Class B Unit for the second quarter of 2016. The cash distribution was paid on August 10, 2016, to Class B Unit holders of record on August 3, 2016.
b) | HMM charters restructuring: Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. Ltd (HMM) , the charterer of five of the Partnerships vessels, namely Hyundai Prestige, Hyundai Premium, Hyundai Paramount, Hyundai Privilege and Hyundai Platinum (the HMM Vessels), each under time charter expiring in 2024 and 2025, has experienced financial difficulties and has pursued a restructuring involving various creditors and vessel owners. As part of the various agreements that HMM reached with its creditors and vessel owners under its voluntary debt restructuring, the owning companies of the HMM Vessels entered into a charter restructuring agreement on July 15, 2016. This agreement provides for the reduction of the charter rate payable under the respective charter parties by 20% to $23.5 per day (from $29.4 gross per day) for a three and a half year period starting in July 2016 and ending in December 2019 (the Charter Reduction Period) in exchange for HMM common shares. The total charter rate reduction for the Charter Reduction Period for the HMM Vessels aggregates to approximately $37,000 (the Charter Reduction Amount). The charter restructuring agreement further provides that at the end of the Charter Reduction Period, the charter rate under the respective charter parties will be restored to the original daily rate of $29.4 until the expiry of each charter in 2024 and 2025. |
