The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements 4 MILLENIUM SEACARRIERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BUSINESS INFORMATION On March 10, 1998, Millenium Seacarriers, Inc. ("Millenium") was formed (the "Formation") to directly hold the capital stock of a group of subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") each of which owns one of Millenium's vessels. These consolidated financial statements give effect to the Formation pursuant to which all of Millenium subsidiaries became wholly owned subsidiaries of Millenium. Millenium owns and operates a fleet of dry-bulk carriers, primarily of Handy-size type. As of June 30, 2001, the Company's fleet consisted of 19 vessels. The Company is registered and incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Its principal business is the acquiring, upgrading and operating of vessels. Millenium conducts its operations through its subsidiaries whose principal activity is the operation and ownership of dry-bulk vessels that will be under the exclusive management of Millenium Management, Inc. ("MMI") and the sub-management of Millenium Maritime Services Ltd. and Millenium Maritime Services, Inc. The Company incurred losses of approximately $15.6 million and $18.8 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $43.5 million and a shareholder's deficit of approximately $19.4 million as of June 30, 2001. The Company has developed and is in the process of implementing a plan that includes the strategic sale of certain of its younger vessels, the proceeds from which will be used to purchase older vessels. Management believes it can operate the vessels acquired profitably over their remaining useful lives, enabling the Company to generate cash flows from its operations. In addition, the Company is in the process of securing a $7 million line of credit. Based on these facts and circumstances, management believes that the Company will have the financial resources to meet its obligations as they come due. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated interim financial statements of the Company are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. For a description of significant accounting policies, see the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2000 annual report on Form 20-F. 2. ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued liabilities primarily consist of accrued payroll, accrued interest and other accrued expenses. These liabilities at June 30, 2001 were, $1,609,414, $5,361,950 and $1,558,254 respectively, and at December 31, 2000 were $1,459,498, $5,350,840 and $963,851, respectively. Accrued liabilities at June 30, 2001 also includes notes payable of $1,075,000 due towards the purchase price of the Millenium Scorpio and Millenium Baltic (see Note 4). 3. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS 141"), "Business Combinations." SFAS 141 requires the purchase method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interests method. In addition, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", which is effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill amortization. In addition, the standard includes provisions for the reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill, reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles, reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill. SFAS 142 also requires the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 141 or 142 will have a significant impact on its financial statements. 5 4. FIXED ASSETS Fixed assets consists of the Company's fleet of dry bulk carriers and other assets. During the six month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company sold five vessels for an aggregate price of $13.7 million. Net cash proceeds are placed in the Collateral account (formerly Escrow). During the period, the Company also purchased three vessels for a gross purchase price of $10.6 million which was partly paid for out of cash in Collateral and by notes payable of $1,075,000. Vessels owned by the Company are stated at cost, which comprises the vessels' contract price, capital improvements, direct delivery and acquisition expenses. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT

Semiannual interest payments are made on the Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on January 15, 1999. Cash interest payments are made to holders of the Notes based on the Accreted Value of the Notes as defined in the Note Indenture. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the "Subsidiary Guarantees"), jointly and severally, on a senior basis by each of the subsidiaries of Millenium (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). The Notes are currently collateralized by First Priority Ship Mortgages on the Company's vessels. The Company's bonds are registered by the United States Securities & Exchange Commission pursuant to the United States Securities Act of 1933. The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes constitutes a general secured senior obligation of the Company and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries of the Company and will rank PARI PASSU in right of payment with all future senior indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors. The Indenture, pursuant to where the Notes were issued (the Notes Indenture), contains certain covenants that among other things, limit the type and amount of additional indebtedness that may be incurred by the Company and imposes certain limitations on investments, loans and advances, sales or transfers of assets, dividends and other payments, the ability of the Company to enter into sale-leaseback transactions, certain transactions with affiliates and certain mergers, consolidations and purchases of assets, and amendments to security agreements. The Company is currently in compliance with the terms of the Notes Indenture at June 30, 2001. 6.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company's fleet consisted of 19 vessels totalling 578,142 deadweight-tons. The Company was incorporated on March 10, 1998 in the Cayman Islands. The Company began operations on July 24, 1998, with five vessels and subsequently expanded its fleet to 21 vessels as of June 30, 1999, all of which were acquired from the net proceeds of an offering of Units ("Units") consisting of $100 million principal amount at maturity of Notes and $1.2 million of Warrants. The Company also received an equity contribution of $24 million from Millenium Management, Inc., MMI, the holder of 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The Company incurred losses of approximately $15.6 million and $18.8 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $43.5 million and a shareholder's deficit of approximately $19.4 million as of June 30, 2001. The Company has developed and is in the process of implementing a plan that includes the strategic sale of certain of its younger vessels, the proceeds from which will be used to purchase older vessels. Management believes it can operate the vessels acquired profitably over their remaining useful lives, enabling the Company to generate cash flows from its operations. In addition, the Company is in the process of securing a $7 million line of credit. The following benchmarks are used by the Company to measure revenues: (i) utilization as an index that indicates vessel earning days (on the basis that 350 calendar days per year equals 100% utilization), and (ii) the average daily time charter equivalent (TCE) rate to analyze net revenues after commissions on the basis of 350-days utilization. The following table sets forth certain statement of operations and other operating data for the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income prior to deductions for interest expense, income taxes, other income or expense net, depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs and loss on sale-disposal of vessels. Adjusted EBITDA is not required by United States generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity, nor is it comparable to similarly titled measurements of other companies. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 NET REVENUE Net revenue for the three-month period ended June 30,2001 was $9.9 million compared to $8.9 million in the 2000 period. During the period, 79% of the Company's gross revenues were earned from period time charters contracted with first class charterers, many of which continued from the previous year. The period consisted of 1,837 ship-operating days. The fleet averaged an utilization rate of 94.8% during the period. 8 During the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 eight of the vessels in the fleet remained on their long-term charters - the Millenium Osprey, Millenium Hawk, Millenium Raptor, Millenium Aleksander, Millenium Mexico, Millenium Leader, Millenium Amanda, and the Millenium Express.

MANAGEMENT FEES Management fees incurred to MMI for contracted technical and commercial management services for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 were $1.3 million compared to $1.3 million in the corresponding period ended June 30, 2000. Each of the Company's vessels receives management services from its equity shareholder MMI pursuant to a Management Agreement among the Company's vessel owning subsidiaries (the "Vessel Owning Subsidiaries) and MMI.

As remuneration for its services, MMI receives a fixed management fee (payable monthly in advance) ranging from $350 to $600 per day per vessel. The Company treats the management fee paid to MMI as an operating expense. Under commercial management services, MMI, on behalf of the Vessel Owning Subsidiaries, primarily maintains and negotiates vessel charters, vessel sale-and-purchase brokering, and places insurance covers for vessels. As remuneration for its services, MMI receives a commission of 1.25% on all gross time charter revenue and 1.75% on all gross spot charter revenue earned by each vessel managed, 1% on the gross sale or purchase price of a vessel for brokerage services, and 2% of all insurance covers placed per vessel managed.

The fleet averaged an utilization rate of 96% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to an utilization rate of 95.3% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. The six-months ended June 30, 2001, began with the early annual redelivery of the Laker-type vessels, which are vessels which ply in the Great Lakes trade, from Fednav International ("Fednav"). As per terms of the charter contract, Fednav redelivers the five Laker-type vessels, the Millenium Osprey, Millenium Condor, Millenium Falcon, Millenium Hawk and Millenium Eagle, for three months during the Winter when the Great Lakes freeze. These vessels performed a substantial number of spot market voyages during this period in 2000. Fednav retook delivery of two of the Laker-type vessels once again in Spring. Fednav's charters on the other three vessels, Millenium Condor, Millenium Falcon and Millenium Eagle ended and these vessels were placed on charters with other charterers.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company is a holding company. As of June 30, 2001, it owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of 19 Vessel Owning Subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2001, the Company's cash position consisted of $1.1 million in unrestricted cash 11 and cash equivalents. Restricted cash of $6.4 million includes net proceeds in the collateral account (formerly Escrow) realized from vessel sale and purchase transactions Restricted cash also includes other deposits made toward contingencies and vessel upgrades. OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net cash flows used in operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001were $440,992 compared to cash used in operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 of $2.5 million. As is common in the shipping industry, the Company collects its hire for all time charters 15 days in advance. The Company also continues to have well established long-term relationships with many suppliers resulting in the Company receiving favorable credit terms. INVESTING ACTIVITIES During the six month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company sold five vessels for an aggregate price of $13.7 million consisting of cash received of $12.77 million and a note receivable of $913,000. Net cash proceeds are placed in the Collateral account (formerly Escrow). During the period, the Company also purchased three vessels for a gross purchase price of $10.6 million which was partly paid for out of cash in Collateral and by notes payable of $1.1 million. The Company believes that based upon the current level of operation, cash flow from operations, together with other readily available sources of funds, it has adequate liquidity to fund its working capital requirements, meet capital expenditures for repairs and maintenance and make required payments of interest on the Company's debt. The Company continues to change the fleet profile through sale and purchase of vessels and this will be partly assisted by its ability to raise capital through either borrowing activities or from cash generated from operations, or both. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS All of the Company's revenue, and most of its expenses, are denominated in United States dollars. For the period ended June 30, 2001, approximately 5% of the Company's expenses were denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Greek drachmae. The Company does not hedge its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. INFLATION The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its operations during the periods presented, although certain of the Company's operating expenses (e.g. crewing, insurance and drydocking costs) are subject to fluctuations as a result of market forces. Inflationary pressures on bunker costs are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results from operations and cash flows since such costs are paid by the charterers and the majority of the Company's vessels are on period time charters. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's outstanding debt bears a fixed interest rate and therefore the Company is not susceptible to interest rate fluctuations. In addition, all of the Company's revenues and expenses are denominated in United States dollars, except for 5% of its expenses which are denominated primarily in Greek drachmae, and therefore the Company believes it is not susceptible to foreign exchange fluctuations. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ------- ----------------- ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ------- ----------------- From time to time the Company has been, and expects to continue to be, subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property claims. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
