Based on this agreement, the Company received equity securities representing &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1.2%&lt;/div&gt; of Zim&amp;#x2019;s equity and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$8,229&lt;/div&gt; aggregate principal amount of unsecured interest-bearing Zim notes maturing in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2023&lt;/div&gt; consisting of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$1,452&lt;/div&gt; of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;3.0%&lt;/div&gt; Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt; Notes due &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2023&lt;/div&gt; amortizing subject to available cash flows in accordance with a corporate mechanism and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$6,777&lt;/div&gt; of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5.0%&lt;/div&gt; Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt; Notes due &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2023&lt;/div&gt; non-amortizing (of the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5%&lt;/div&gt; interest, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;3%&lt;/div&gt; is payable quarterly in cash and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2%&lt;/div&gt; interest is accrued quarterly with deferred cash payment on maturity) in exchange for amounts owed by Zim to the Company under their charter agreements. The Company calculated the fair value of the instruments received by Zim based on the agreement discussed above, available information on Zim and other similar contracts with similar terms, maturities and interest rates, and recorded at fair value of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$676&lt;/div&gt; in relation to the Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt; Notes, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$3,567&lt;/div&gt; in relation to the Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt; Notes and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$7,802&lt;/div&gt; in relation to its equity participation in Zim. The difference between the aggregate fair value of the debt and equity securities received from Zim and the then net carrying value of the amounts due from Zim of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$2,888&lt;/div&gt; was written-off in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2014.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company accounts on a quarterly basis, for the fair value unwinding of the Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt; and Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt; Notes, until the book value of the instruments equals their face value on maturity. During the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt;-month period ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 30, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the Company recorded &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$379&lt;/div&gt; in relation to their fair value unwinding (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$348&lt;/div&gt; for the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt;-month period ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 30, 2017), &lt;/div&gt;which is included in &amp;#x201c;Interest income&amp;#x201d; in the consolidated statement of income. The Company has classified such debt and equity securities under other non-current assets, since it has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; intention to sell the securities in the near term. During the year ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the Company received &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$46&lt;/div&gt; capital redemption of the Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt; Notes, reducing the principal to &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$1,406.&lt;/div&gt; The Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt; and Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt; Zim Notes are carried at amortized cost in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as at &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 30, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;which approximates their fair value as of such date. These financial instruments are &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 30, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the Company has assessed for other than temporary impairment of its investment in Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt; and Series &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt; Notes and has concluded that &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; impairment should be recorded.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Zim equity securities are carried at cost less impairment. &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No&lt;/div&gt; dividends have been received from Zim since &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; July 16, 2014. &lt;/div&gt;As of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 30, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the Company has qualitatively assessed for impairment of its investment in equity securities in Zim and has concluded that &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; impairment should be recorded.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</cmre:OtherNoncurrentAssetsTextBlock>

To this effect, the Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions with varying start and maturity dates, in order to manage its floating rate exposure.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;These interest rate swaps are designed to hedge the variability of interest cash flows arising from floating rate debt, attributable to movements in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;three&lt;/div&gt;-month or &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt;-month USD LIBOR. According to the Company&amp;#x2019;s Risk Management Accounting Policy, after putting in place the formal documentation required by ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;815&lt;/div&gt; in order to designate these swaps as hedging instruments as from their inception, these interest rate swaps qualified for hedge accounting. Accordingly, only hedge ineffectiveness amounts arising from the differences in the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item are recognized in the Company&amp;#x2019;s earnings. Assessment and measurement of the effectiveness of these interest rate swaps are performed at each reporting period. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the fair value gain or loss associated with the effective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized initially in &amp;#x201c;Other comprehensive income&amp;#x201d; and recognized to the consolidated statement of income in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in the consolidated statement of income immediately.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 23 --&gt;   &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;At &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 30, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the Company had interest rate swap agreements with an outstanding notional amount of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$656,096&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$328,440,&lt;/div&gt; respectively.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with financial institutions of high credit ratings. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative instruments; however, the Company limits its exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable, equity method investments and equity and debt securities by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers&amp;#x2019; and investees&amp;#x2019; financial condition, receives charter hire in advance and generally does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; require collateral for its accounts receivable.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;(c) Fair value:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of financial assets and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and the foreign currency agreements discussed in Note &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18&lt;/div&gt; above are determined through Level &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt; of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements discussed in Note &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;18&lt;/div&gt;(a) and (b) equates to the amount that would be paid or received by the Company to cancel the agreements. As at &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 31, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit;

The &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt;-steps consist of: (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt;) determination of whether a contract, an agreement between &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;two&lt;/div&gt; or more parties that creates legally enforceable rights and obligations, exists; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt;) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;3&lt;/div&gt;) determination of the transaction price; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;4&lt;/div&gt;) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5&lt;/div&gt;) recognition of revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. As a result of the adoption, there was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; cumulative impact to the Company&amp;#x2019;s retained earnings at &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;since the Company has chartered its vessels under time charter agreements, and in this respect, revenue is accounted for under the leases standard. The comparative information has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;03,&lt;/div&gt; Technical Corrections and improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;825&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;), &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;which relates to technical corrections and improvements related to Update &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&lt;/div&gt; to increase stakeholders&amp;#x2019; awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvements. The amendments in this Update include items brought to the Board&amp;#x2019;s attention by stakeholders and clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in Update &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01.&lt;/div&gt; The amendment clarifies, among others, that an entity measuring an equity security using the measurement alternative in paragraph &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;321&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;35&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;change its measurement approach to a fair value method in accordance with Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;820,&lt;/div&gt; Fair Value Measurement, through an irrevocable election that would apply to that security and all identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Once an entity makes this election, the entity should measure all future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer using a fair value method in accordance with Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;820.&lt;/div&gt; In addition the amendment clarifies that when an observable transaction occurs for a similar security, the adjustments made under the measurement alternative are intended to reflect the fair value of the security as of the date that the observable transaction for a similar security took place. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have a material effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&amp;#x2014;Financial&lt;/div&gt; Instruments&amp;#x2014;Overall (Subtopic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;825&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;,&lt;/div&gt; which includes the requirement for all equity investments (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, those that result in consolidation of the investee or those without readily determinable fair value for which qualitative assessment does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; indicate impairment) to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The Update simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. This Update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; permitted. &lt;/div&gt;The adoption of this new accounting guidance did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have a material effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 7 --&gt; &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15&amp;#x2014;Statement&lt;/div&gt; of Cash Flows (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;230&lt;/div&gt;)&amp;#x2014;Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;which addresses the following &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;eight&lt;/div&gt; specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;zero&lt;/div&gt;-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of any corporate-owned life insurance policy (&amp;#x201c;COLI&amp;#x201d;) (including any bank-owned life insurance policy (&amp;#x201c;BOLI&amp;#x201d;)); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.

In order to conform with the current period presentation, the Company presented comparatives as required by the new ASU. During the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;six&lt;/div&gt;-month period ended &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 30, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018,&lt;/div&gt; the amounts of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$600&lt;/div&gt; and &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;$170,&lt;/div&gt; respectively, represent proceeds &lt;/div&gt;from settlements of insurance claims &lt;div style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;regarding hull and machinery and thus have been reclassified from Cash flows from operating activities to Cash flows from investing activities.

Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.

font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&lt;/div&gt; - Business Combinations (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;805&lt;/div&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisition (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under current implementation guidance, the existence of an integrated set of acquired activities (inputs and processes that generate outputs) constitutes an acquisition of business. This ASU provides a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; constitute a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; a business. This Update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;including interim periods within those years. The amendments of this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period (i) for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the ASU, only when the transaction has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance and (ii) for transactions in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. &lt;/div&gt;The adoption of this new accounting guidance did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have a material effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 8 --&gt; &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;04&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; to supersede SEC paragraphs in ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;320,&lt;/div&gt; Investments &amp;#x2013; Debt Securities, as a result of the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;117.&lt;/div&gt; The adoption of this amendment (which follows the adoption of ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&lt;/div&gt;) did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have a material effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;New Accounting Pronouncements - &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;Not&lt;/div&gt; Yet Adopted&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02&amp;#x2014;Leases&lt;/div&gt; (ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;, which &lt;/div&gt;requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This is expected to increase both reported assets and liabilities. The new lease standard does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; substantially change lessor accounting. For public companies, the standard will be effective for the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; interim reporting period within annual periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;although early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. In addition, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; July 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;11&amp;#x2014;Leases&lt;/div&gt; (ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;, which approved targeted improvements to the accounting standards and provides for (a)&amp;nbsp;an optional new transition method for adoption that results in initial recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption and (b)&amp;nbsp;a practical expedient for lessors, under certain circumstances, to combine the lease and non-lease components of revenues for presentation purposes.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The Company intends to apply the alternative transition method and intends to elect the practical expedient for lessors for presentation purposes, upon adoption of ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;-Leases.&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;The Company is analyzing the impact of the adoption of these new pronouncements on its consolidated financial statements, including assessing changes that might be necessary to information technology systems, processes and internal controls to capture new data and address changes in financial reporting.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;13&amp;#x2014;Financial&lt;/div&gt; Instruments&amp;#x2014;Credit Losses (Topic&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;326&lt;/div&gt;)&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;.&amp;nbsp;ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;13&lt;/div&gt; amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities.

Part I of this Update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option.

This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. The amendments in Part II of this Update do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018.&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;12,&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Derivatives and Hedging (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;815&lt;/div&gt;):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities&amp;nbsp;(ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;12&lt;/div&gt;),&amp;nbsp;which amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; color: #231F20"&gt;This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018.&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;07,&lt;/div&gt; Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;718&lt;/div&gt;):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;07&lt;/div&gt; simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions.

Under the new guidance, there is a &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt;-step model to apply to revenue recognition. The &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;five&lt;/div&gt;-steps consist of: (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt;) determination of whether a contract, an agreement between &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;two&lt;/div&gt; or more parties that creates legally enforceable rights and obligations, exists; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt;) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;3&lt;/div&gt;) determination of the transaction price; (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;4&lt;/div&gt;) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;5&lt;/div&gt;) recognition of revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. As a result of the adoption, there was &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;no&lt;/div&gt; cumulative impact to the Company&amp;#x2019;s retained earnings at &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 1, 2018 &lt;/div&gt;since the Company has chartered its vessels under time charter agreements, and in this respect, revenue is accounted for under the leases standard. The comparative information has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;03,&lt;/div&gt; Technical Corrections and improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;825&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;), &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;which relates to technical corrections and improvements related to Update &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&lt;/div&gt; to increase stakeholders&amp;#x2019; awareness of the amendments and to expedite the improvements. The amendments in this Update include items brought to the Board&amp;#x2019;s attention by stakeholders and clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in Update &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01.&lt;/div&gt; The amendment clarifies, among others, that an entity measuring an equity security using the measurement alternative in paragraph &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;321&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;35&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; may &lt;/div&gt;change its measurement approach to a fair value method in accordance with Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;820,&lt;/div&gt; Fair Value Measurement, through an irrevocable election that would apply to that security and all identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Once an entity makes this election, the entity should measure all future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer using a fair value method in accordance with Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;820.&lt;/div&gt; In addition the amendment clarifies that when an observable transaction occurs for a similar security, the adjustments made under the measurement alternative are intended to reflect the fair value of the security as of the date that the observable transaction for a similar security took place. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have a material effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; January 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&amp;#x2014;Financial&lt;/div&gt; Instruments&amp;#x2014;Overall (Subtopic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;825&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;10&lt;/div&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;,&lt;/div&gt; which includes the requirement for all equity investments (other than those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, those that result in consolidation of the investee or those without readily determinable fair value for which qualitative assessment does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; indicate impairment) to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The Update simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. This Update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017 &lt;/div&gt;and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; permitted. &lt;/div&gt;The adoption of this new accounting guidance did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have a material effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 7 --&gt;   &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15&amp;#x2014;Statement&lt;/div&gt; of Cash Flows (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;230&lt;/div&gt;)&amp;#x2014;Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;which addresses the following &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;eight&lt;/div&gt; specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice: Debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;zero&lt;/div&gt;-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of any corporate-owned life insurance policy (&amp;#x201c;COLI&amp;#x201d;) (including any bank-owned life insurance policy (&amp;#x201c;BOLI&amp;#x201d;)); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.

In order to conform with the current period presentation, the Company presented comparatives as required by the new ASU.

Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.

font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&lt;/div&gt; - Business Combinations (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;805&lt;/div&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisition (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under current implementation guidance, the existence of an integrated set of acquired activities (inputs and processes that generate outputs) constitutes an acquisition of business. This ASU provides a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; constitute a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; a business. This Update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2017, &lt;/div&gt;including interim periods within those years. The amendments of this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period (i) for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the ASU, only when the transaction has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance and (ii) for transactions in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. &lt;/div&gt;The adoption of this new accounting guidance did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have a material effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Field: Page; Sequence: 8 --&gt;   &lt;!-- Field: /Page --&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; March 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;04&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; to supersede SEC paragraphs in ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;320,&lt;/div&gt; Investments &amp;#x2013; Debt Securities, as a result of the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;117.&lt;/div&gt; The adoption of this amendment (which follows the adoption of ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;01&lt;/div&gt;) did &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have a material effect on the Company&amp;#x2019;s consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;New Accounting Pronouncements - &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;Not&lt;/div&gt; Yet Adopted&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; February 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;02&amp;#x2014;Leases&lt;/div&gt; (ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;, which &lt;/div&gt;requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This is expected to increase both reported assets and liabilities. The new lease standard does &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; substantially change lessor accounting. For public companies, the standard will be effective for the &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; interim reporting period within annual periods beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December 15, 2018, &lt;/div&gt;although early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;first&lt;/div&gt; apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. In addition, &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;in &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; July 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;11&amp;#x2014;Leases&lt;/div&gt; (ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;, which approved targeted improvements to the accounting standards and provides for (a)&amp;nbsp;an optional new transition method for adoption that results in initial recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption and (b)&amp;nbsp;a practical expedient for lessors, under certain circumstances, to combine the lease and non-lease components of revenues for presentation purposes.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The Company intends to apply the alternative transition method and intends to elect the practical expedient for lessors for presentation purposes, upon adoption of ASC &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;842&lt;/div&gt;-Leases.&lt;div style="display: inline; font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;The Company is analyzing the impact of the adoption of these new pronouncements on its consolidated financial statements, including assessing changes that might be necessary to information technology systems, processes and internal controls to capture new data and address changes in financial reporting.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 2016, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;13&amp;#x2014;Financial&lt;/div&gt; Instruments&amp;#x2014;Credit Losses (Topic&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;326&lt;/div&gt;)&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;.&amp;nbsp;ASU &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2016&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;13&lt;/div&gt; amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities.

Part I of this Update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part&amp;nbsp;II of this Update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;480,&lt;/div&gt; Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. The amendments in Part II of this Update do &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/div&gt; have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018.&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; August 2017, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;No.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;12,&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Derivatives and Hedging (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;815&lt;/div&gt;):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities&amp;nbsp;(ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2017&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;12&lt;/div&gt;),&amp;nbsp;which amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; color: #231F20"&gt;This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; December&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;15,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018.&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style=" font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic;"&gt;In &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt; June 2018, &lt;/div&gt;the FASB issued ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;07,&lt;/div&gt; Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic &lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;718&lt;/div&gt;):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; ASU&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;2018&lt;/div&gt;-&lt;div style="display: inline; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; font-style: normal;"&gt;07&lt;/div&gt; simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions.
