Our Operations
We
charter
our
vessels,
owned
and
bareboat
chartered-in,
to
customers
primarily
pursuant
to
short-,
medium-
and
long-term
time
charters.
Under
our
time
charters,
the
charterer
typically
pays
us
a
fixed
daily charter hire rate and bears all voyage expenses, including the cost of bunkers (fuel oil) and port and
canal
charges.
We
remain
responsible
for
paying
the
chartered
vessel's
operating
expenses,
including
the cost
of crewing,
insuring, repairing, and
maintaining the vessel,
the costs
of spares and
consumable
stores, tonnage taxes
and other miscellaneous
expenses, and we
also pay
commissions to one
or more
unaffiliated ship brokers and to
in-house brokers associated with the charterer for
the arrangement of the
relevant charter.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
We believe that our results of operations are affected by the following factors:
(1)
Average
number
of
vessels
is
the
number
of
vessels
that
constituted
our
fleet
for
the
relevant
period,
as
measured by
the
sum
of
the
number
of
days
each
vessel
was
a
part
of
our
fleet
during
the
period divided by the number of calendar days in the period.
(2)
Ownership
days
are
the
aggregate
number of
days in
a
period
during
which each
vessel
in
our
fleet has
been owned
by us.
Ownership days
are an
indicator of
the size
of our
fleet over
a period
and
affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during
a period.
(3)
Available days are the
number of our ownership days less
the aggregate number of days that
our
vessels
are
off-hire
due
to
scheduled
repairs
or
repairs
under
guarantee,
vessel
upgrades
or
special
surveys
and the
aggregate amount
of
time
that we
spend
positioning our
vessels for
such events.
The
shipping industry
uses available
days to
measure the
number of
days in
a period
during which
vessels
should be capable of
generating revenues. Our method of
computing available days may not necessarily
be comparable to available days of other companies.
(4)
Operating days
are the
number of
available days
in a
period less
the aggregate
number of
days
that
our
vessels
are
off-hire
due
to
any
reason,
including
unforeseen
circumstances.
The
shipping
industry uses operating days
to measure the aggregate number
of days in a
period during which vessels
actually generate revenues.
(5)
We calculate
fleet utilization
by dividing
the number
of our
operating days
during a
period by
the
number of
our available days
during the period.
The shipping
industry uses fleet
utilization to measure
a
company's
efficiency
in
finding
suitable
employment
for
its
vessels
and minimizing
the
number of
days
that its
vessels are
off-hire for
reasons other
than scheduled
repairs or
repairs under
guarantee, vessel
upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning for such events.
(6)
Time
charter
equivalent
rate,
or
TCE,
is
defined
as
our
time
charter
revenues
less
voyage
expenses during
a period
divided by
the number
of our
available days
during the
period. Our
method of
computing
TCE
rate
may
not
necessarily
be
comparable
to
TCE
rates
of
other
companies
due
to
differences
in
methods
of
calculation.
TCE
is
a
non-GAAP
measure,
and
management
believes
it
is
useful
to
investors
because
it
is
a
standard
shipping
industry
performance
measure
used
primarily
to
compare daily
earnings generated
by vessels
on time
charters with
daily earnings
generated by
vessels
on
voyage
charters,
because
charter
hire
rates
for
vessels
on
voyage
charters
are
generally
not
expressed
in
per
day
amounts
while
charter
hire
rates
for
vessels
on
time
charters
are
generally
expressed
in
such
amounts.
TCE
is
used
by
management
to
assess
and
compare
the
vessels’
profitability.
(7)
Daily
vessel
operating
expenses,
which
include
crew
wages
and
related
costs,
the
cost
of
insurance,
expenses
relating
to
repairs
and
maintenance,
the
costs
of
spares
and
consumable
stores,
tonnage taxes
and other
miscellaneous expenses,
are calculated
by dividing
vessel operating
expenses
by ownership days for the relevant period.

Time Charter Revenues
Our revenues are driven primarily by
the number of vessels in our
fleet, the number of days during which
our
vessels
operate
and
the
amount
of
daily
charter
hire
rates
that
our
vessels
earn
under
charters,
which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:
●
the duration of our charters;
●
our decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;
●
the amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels;
●
the amount of time that our vessels spend in drydock undergoing
repairs;
●
maintenance and upgrade work;
●
the age, condition and specifications of our vessels;
●
levels of supply and demand in the dry bulk shipping industry.
Vessels
operating on time
charters for a
certain period of
time provide more
predictable cash flows
over
that
period
of
time
but
can
yield
lower
profit
margins than
vessels
operating in
the
spot
charter market
during periods characterized by favorable market conditions. Vessels operating in the spot charter market
generate
revenues
that
are
less
predictable
but
may
enable
their
owners
to
capture
increased
profit
margins during
periods of
improvements in
charter rates
although their owners
would be
exposed to the
r
isk of
declining charter rates,
which may have
a materially adverse
impact on financial
performance. As
8
we employ vessels
on period charters,
future spot charter
rates may be
higher or lower
than the rates
at
which
we
have
employed
our
vessels
on
period
charters.
Our
time
charter
agreements
subject
us
to
counterparty risk.
In depressed
market conditions,
charterers may
seek to
renegotiate the
terms of
their
existing
charter
parties
or
avoid
their
obligations
under
those
contracts.
Should
a
counterparty
fail
to
honor their obligations under agreements with
us, we could sustain significant losses
which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
Voyage Expenses
We
incur
voyage
expenses
that
mainly
include
commissions
because
all
of
our
vessels
are
employed
under
time
charters that
require the
charterer to
bear voyage
expenses such
as
bunkers (fuel
oil),
port
and canal
charges. Although
the charterer
bears the
cost of
bunkers, we
also have
bunker gain
or loss
deriving
from
the
price
differences
of
bunkers.
When
a
vessel
is
delivered
to
a
charterer,
bunkers
are
purchased
by
the
charterer
and
sold
back
to
us
on
the
redelivery
of
the
vessel.
Bunker
gain,
or
loss,
results
when
a
vessel
is
redelivered
by
her
charterer
and
delivered
to
the
next
charterer
at
different
bunker prices, or quantities.
We
currently pay
commissions ranging
from
4.75% to
5.00% of
the
total
daily charter
hire rate
of
each
charter to unaffiliated ship brokers and in-house brokers associated with the charterers,
depending on the
number of brokers
involved with arranging the
charter. In
addition, we pay
a commission to
DWM and to
DSS for
those vessels
for which
they provide
commercial management services.
The commissions
paid
to
DSS
are
eliminated
from
our
consolidated
financial
statements
as
intercompany
transactions.
The
effect
of
bunker
prices
cannot
be
determined,
as
a
gain
or
loss
from
bunkers
results
mainly
from
the
difference in
the value
of bunkers
paid by
the Company
when the
vessel is
redelivered to
the Company
from the
charterer under
the vessel’s
previous time
charter agreement
and the
value of
bunkers sold
by
the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer.

include
crew
wages
and
related
costs,
the
cost
of
insurance,
expenses
relating
to
repairs
and
maintenance,
the
cost
of
spares
and
consumable
stores,
tonnage
taxes,
environmental plan costs and
HSQ and vetting. Our
vessel operating expenses generally represent fixed
costs.
Vessel Depreciation
The
cost
of
our
vessels
is
depreciated
on
a
straight-line
basis
over
the
estimated
useful
life
of
each
vessel. Depreciation is based on the
cost of the vessel less
its estimated salvage value. We
estimate the
useful life of
our dry bulk
vessels to be
25 years from the
date of initial
delivery from the
shipyard, which
we believe
is common
in the
dry bulk
shipping industry.
Furthermore, we estimate
the salvage
values of
our
vessels
based
on
historical
average
prices
of
the
cost
of
the
light-weight
ton
of
vessels
being
scrapped.
General and Administrative Expenses
We
incur
general
and
administrative
expenses
which
include
our
onshore
related
expenses
such
as
payroll
expenses
of
employees,
executive
officers,
directors
and
consultants,
compensation
cost
of
restricted stock
awarded to
senior management
and non-executive
directors, traveling,
promotional and
other
expenses
of
the
public
company,
such
as
legal
and
professional
expenses
and
other
general
e
xpenses. General
and administrative
expenses are
not affected
by the
size of
the fleet.
However,
they
9
are affected by the exchange rate of the Euro to US Dollars,
as about half of our administrative expenses
are in Euro.
Interest and Finance Costs
We incur interest expenses and financing costs in
connection with vessel-specific debt, senior unsecured
bond
and
finance
liabilities.
As
of
June
30,
2025,
total
long-term
debt
amounted
to
$499.0
million
and
finance liabilities amounted to $119.1 million.
We
manage
our
exposure
to
interest
rates
by
maintaining
a
mix
of
floating
and
fixed
interest
rate
financing agreements. Floating rate agreements include secured loan facilities and fixed rate agreements
include
leases
and
our
senior
unsecured
bond.
Also,
in
2023,
we
entered
into
an
interest
rate
swap
for 30% of our $100 million loan facility with DNB, dated June 26, 2023, under which
we pay fixed interest
and receive floating.
Inflation
Since
2022
there
have been
significant
global
inflationary pressures
which have
affected
our
operating
and drydocking costs.
Results of Operations
Six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2024
Time
charter revenues.
Time
charter revenues
decreased by
$4.0 million,
or 4%,
to $109.6
million for
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2025,
compared
to
$113.6
million
for
the
same
period
of
2024.
The
decrease
in
time
charter
revenues
was
due
to
the
decreased
operating
days
in
the
six
months
ended
June 30, 2025, compared to the same period last year,
resulting from the decrease in the size of the fleet
compared to
the
same period
last year.
Operating days
for the
six months
ended June
30, 2025,
were
6,602 compared
to 7,078
for the
same period
of 2024.
This decrease
was partly
offset by
the increased
average
time
charter
equivalent
rate
of
$15,615
per
vessel
per
day
that
the
Company
achieved
for
its
vessels
in
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2025,
compared
to
$15,078
in
the
same
period
of
2024,
representing a 4% increase.
Voyage expenses.
Voyage
expenses decreased by
$0.3 million, or
5%, to
$6.1 million in
the six
months
ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $6.4 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease
was mainly
due to
commissions, for
which voyage
expenses is
primarily comprised
of and
which in
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2025
decreased
by
5%
to
$5.5
million
compared
to
$5.8
million
in
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024,
due
to
the
decrease
in
revenues.
A
further
decrease
derived
from
the
decrease
in
miscellaneous
expenses
to
$0.3
million
compared
to
$0.5
million
in
the
six
months
ended
June 30, 2024.
This decrease was partly offset by a loss on bunkers amounting to $0.3 million compared
to $0.1
million in
the same
period of
- The
loss on
bunkers was
mainly due
to the
difference in
the
price
of
bunkers
paid
by
the
Company
to
the
charterers
on
the
redelivery
of
the
vessels
from
the
charterers under the previous charter party agreements and the price of bunkers paid by
charterers to the
Company on the delivery of the same vessels to their charterers
under new charter party agreements.
Vessel
operating
expenses.
Vessel
operating
expenses
decreased
by
$2.1
million,
or
5%,
to
$40.0
million in
the six
months ended
June 30,
2025, compared to
$42.1 million in
the six
months ended
June
30, 2024. The decrease in operating expenses is mainly attributable to the decrease in ownership days in
the six months ended June 30,
2025 by 394 days, which was
due to the decrease in the
size of the fleet.
T
he
decrease
in
operating
expenses
was
partly
offset
by
increased
crew
cost,
mainly
due
to
the
10
fluctuation in
the exchange
rates (USD/EUR),
crew travelling
expenses and
training for
crew.
Total
daily
operating expenses
were $5,905
in the
six months
ended June
30, 2025,
compared to
$5,883 in the
six
months ended June 30, 2024.
Depreciation
and
amortization
of
deferred
charges.
Depreciation
and
amortization
of
deferred
charges
increased by
$0.7 million, or
3%,
to
$22.8 million in
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2025, compared
to
$22.1
million
in
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2024.
This
fluctuation was
attributed to
the
increased
amortization
of
deferred cost,
due to
the
increased
number
of
vessels
that
underwent
scheduled
drydock
and special surveys in
the first half of
2025 compared to the
same period in 2024.
This was partly offset
by
decreased depreciation due to the decrease in the size of the fleet.
General and
administrative expenses
. General and
administrative expenses
increased by
$0.4 million,
or
2%, to
$17.1 million
in the
six months
ended June
30, 2025,
compared to
$16.7 million
in the
six months
ended
June
30,
2024.
The
increase
was
mainly
due
to
increased
cost
on
restricted
stock
resulting
from
increased
number
of
vested
shares,
including
the
accelerated
vesting
of
restricted
shares
of
two
board
members
who resigned in May
2025 and the compensation
cost of these shares
was recorded on the
date
of their resignation. A further increase was attributed due to increased payroll costs.
Management fees to related
party.
Management fees to a related
party amounted to $0.6
million in the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2025,
compared to
$0.7
million in
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
- The
decrease is attributable
to the decreased
average number of
vessels managed by
DWM due to the
sale of
vessel Alcmene.
Gain on sale
of vessels
. Gain on
sale of
vessels amounted to
$1.5 million in
the six
months ended June
30, 2025,
which is attributed
to the sale
of vessel Alcmene
during the first
quarter of 2025,
as compared
to
$1.6 million
in the
six months
ended June
30, 2024,
which is
attributed to
the sale
of vessel
Artemis
during the first quarter of 2024.
Interest expense and
finance costs.
Interest and finance
costs decreased by
$1.8 million or
8% to $21.9
million in
the six
months ended
June 30,
2025, compared to
$23.7 million in
the six
months ended
June
30, 2024. The decrease is attributed to the decreased outstanding balance
of debt and finance liabilities.
Gain(loss)
on
derivative instruments.
Loss on
derivative instruments amounted to
$0.2
million
in
the
six
months ended June 30, 2025,
as compared to a gain of
$0.4 million in the same
period of 2024, which is
attributable to the gain/(loss) from the interest rate swap with DNB which the Company entered on July 6,
2023.
Gain/(loss) on related party investments.
Gain on related
party investments
amounted
to $2.5 million
in the
six months
ended June
30, 2025,
compared to
a loss
of $1.4
million for
the same
period of
2024 which
derives from the fair value measurement of the investment in OceanPal.
Loss on equity
securities.
Loss on equity securities
amounted to $0.4 million
both in the six
months ended
June 30,
2025 and
2024.
In 2023,
the Company
acquired equity
securities of
an entity
listed in
the NYSE
which
were
sold
during
the
first
quarter
of
2024
and
recorded
a
realized
loss
of
$0.4
million.
During
the
second
quarter
of
2025,
the
Company
acquired
equity
securities
of
an
entity
listed
in
the
NYSE,
which
resulted in an unrealized loss of $0.4
million.
Gain/(loss)
on
warrants.
Gain
on
warrants
amounted
to
$0.5
million
in
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2025, compared to
a loss
of $6.8
million for the
same period of
2024, which
is mainly
attributable to
the
remeasurement
of
warrant
liability
and
the
gain
or
loss
from
the
settlement
of
the
warrants
that
were
e
xercised.
11
Loss from
equity method
investments.
Loss from
equity method
investments amounted to $0.7 million in
the
six months
ended June
30,
2025, compared to
$0.2
million in the
six
months ended
June 30,
2024,
which is mainly attributed to the loss from the investment in Windward and DWM.
B.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically,
we
finance
our
short-term
and
long-term
capital
requirements
with
cash
from
operations,
cash at
banks, equity contributions
from shareholders, long-term
bank debt, finance
liabilities and senior
unsecured
bonds.
Our
main
uses
of
funds
have
been
capital
expenditures
for
the
acquisition
and
construction of
new vessels,
expenditures incurred
in connection
with ensuring
that our
vessels comply
with international and
regulatory standards, repayments
of bank
loans, repurchase of
our common stock
and
payment
of
dividends.
We
believe
that
these
sources
of
funds
will
be
sufficient
to
meet
our
short-
term and long-term liquidity needs.
Our
short-term
liquidity requirements
include capital
expenditures in
connection with
our
equity method
investments,
expenditures
relating
to
drydocking
of
vessels
to
comply
with
international
and
regulatory
standards, repayments
of
bank
loans, repurchase
of
our
common stock,
payment
of
dividends and
our
bareboat
charters.
Our
primary
sources
of
short-term
liquidity
include
cash
generated
from
operating
activities and sale of vessels, available cash balances and proceeds from
the exercise of warrants, if any.
Our
long-term
liquidity
requirements
include
funding
our
newbuilding
vessel
installments,
interest
and
principal
payments
on
outstanding
debt,
payment
of
dividends,
expenditures
for
vessel
efficiency
upgrades
and
drydock
costs.
Sources
of
funding
for
our
long-term
liquidity
requirements
include
cash
flows from operations, bank borrowings, issuance of debt and equity
securities, and vessel sales.
As
of
June
30,
2025,
and
December
31,
2024,
working
capital,
which
is
current
assets
minus
current
liabilities, including
the current
portion of
long-term debt,
amounted to
$103.9 million
and $126.4
million,
respectively.
Cash
and
cash
equivalents,
including restricted
cash,
was
$83.6 million
on
June
30,
2025, and
$143.7
million on December
31, 2024. Restricted cash
consists of the
minimum liquidity requirements under
our
loan
facilities.
As
of
June
30,
2025,
and
December
31,
2024,
restricted
cash,
current
and
non-current,
amounted to
$18.5 million and
$19.0 million, respectively.
Also, as of
June 30,
2025, and December
31,
2024,
time
deposits
with
maturities
above
three
months
amounted
to
$66.0
million
and
$63.5
million,
respectively.
Our
cash
and
cash
equivalents,
restricted
cash
and
time
deposits
represent
our
unused
sources of liquidity to meet our short-
and long-term obligations.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

operating activities
decreased by
$23.4 million, or
48%. For
the six
months ended
June
30,
2025,
net

provided
by
operating
activities
was
$25.8 million
compared
to
net
cash
provided by operating activities of
$49.2 million in the six
months ended June 30,
- This decrease in
cash from operating activities was mainly due to the sale of the equity securities during the first quarter of
2024, the
increase in
drydock costs
and the
decreased revenues
due to
the decrease
in the
size of
the
fleet.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

of
the
Company’s
vessels.
The
Company
accrues for
the
cost
of
environmental and
other
liabilities
when management becomes
aware that
a liability is
probable and is
able to
reasonably estimate the
probable exposure.
The Company’s
vessels are
covered for
pollution in
the amount
of $
1
billion per
vessel per incident, by the P&I Association in which the Company’s vessels
are entered.
b)
Pursuant
to
the
sale
and
lease
back
agreements
signed
between
the
Company
and
its
counterparties, the Company has purchase obligations
amounting to $

c)
On March
30, 2023,
the Company
entered into
a
corporate guarantee
with Nordea
under which
the
Company
guarantees
the
performance
by
Bergen
of
all
of
its
obligations
under
the
loan
until
the
maturity of the
loan on March 30,
2028 (Note 3 (b)).
The Company considers the
likelihood of having
to make any
payments under the
guarantee to be
remote, as the
loan is also
secured by an
account
pledge
by
Bergen,
first
preferred
mortgage
on
the
vessel,
a
first
priority
general
assignment
of
the
earnings,
insurances
and
requisition
compensation
of
the
vessel,
a
charter
party
assignment,
a
partnership interests
security deed,
and a
manager’s undertaking. Accordingly,
as of
June 30,
2025,
the Company did not record a provision for losses under the guarantee of Bergen’s loan amounting to
$
12,910
on that date.
d)

the
Company
distributed
22,613,070
warrants
to
its
shareholders
of
record

Holders
received
one warrant for every five shares
of
issued and outstanding shares of common stock held as of the record date (rounded down to the
nearest
whole
number
for
any
fractional
warrant.
Each
Warrant
entitles

holder’s
sole
and
exclusive
election,
at
the
exercise
price
of
$
4
per
warrant,
1.10346
shares
of
common
stock
plus
a
bonus
share
fraction.
A
bonus
share
fraction
entitles
a
holder
to
receive
an
additional
part
of
a
share of common stock for each warrant exercised without payment
of any additional exercise price.
During
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2025,
the
Company
issued
12,802
shares
of
common
stock,
having a value of $

, net of expenses, or $
1.24
per share, upon the exercise of
7,825
warrants issued in
2023
and
distributed
as
dividend
to
the
Company’s
shareholders.
The
Company received
$
69
in
proceeds, net
of fees,
from the
exercise of warrants.
If all
warrants were exercised
as of
June 30,
2025,
the
Company would
have issued
36,685,379
shares of
common stock
with
a
fair
value
of
$
67,242
and
would have received $
90,452
of gross proceeds. The warrants were measured on the
date of distribution
at fair
value, determined
through Level
1 account
hierarchy,
being the
opening price
of the
warrants on
the NYSE on the date
of distribution as they are listed
under the ticker DSX_W.
As of June 30, 2025 and
December
31,
2024,
the
warrant
liability,
measured
at
fair
value,
amounted
to
$
1,297

Earnings/(loss) per Share
All common
shares issued
(including the
restricted shares
issued under
the Company’s
incentive plans)
are
the
Company’s
common
stock
and
have
equal
rights
to
vote
and
participate
in
dividends.
The
calculation of basic earnings per share does not treat the non-vested shares (not considered participating
securities)
as
outstanding
until
the
time/service-based
vesting
restriction
has
lapsed.
The
dilutive effect
on
unexercised
warrants
that
are
in-the-money,
is
computed
using
the
treasury
stock
method
which
assumes that the proceeds upon exercise of these warrants are
used to purchase common shares at the
average market price for the period. Incremental shares are the number of shares assumed issued under
the treasury
stock method
weighted for
the periods
the non-vested
shares were
outstanding. During
the
six
months
ended
June
30,
2025
and
2024,
there
were
no
incremental
shares
included
in
the
denominator
of
the
diluted
earnings
per
share
calculation.
Securities
that
could
potentially
dilute
basic
earnings per share in
the future but were
not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share—
because
their
inclusion
would
have
been
anti-dilutive—consist
of
any
incremental
shares
from
unexercised warrants that were out
of the money during the
reporting period and any incremental shares
resulting from the non-vested restricted share awards.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures
Interest rate risk and concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments,
which potentially
subject the
Company to
significant concentrations
of credit
risk,
consist
principally
of
cash
and
trade
accounts
receivable.
The
ability
and
willingness
of
each
of
the
Company’s counterparties to perform their
obligations under a contract depend upon a
number of factors
that
are
beyond
the
Company’s
control
and
may
include,
among
other
things,
general
economic
conditions,
the
state
of
the
capital
markets,
the
condition
of
the
shipping
industry
and
charter
hire
rates. The Company’s credit risk with financial institutions is limited as it has temporary cash investments,
consisting
mostly
of
deposits,
placed
with
various
qualified
financial
institutions
and
performs
periodic
evaluations of the relative credit
standing of those financial institutions.
The Company limits its credit
risk
with
accounts
receivable
by
performing
ongoing
credit
evaluations
of
its
customers’
financial
condition
and by receiving payments of hire in
advance. The Company, generally,
does not require collateral for its
accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate
credit risk.
During the
six months
ended June
30, 2025
and 2024
charterers that
individually accounted
for
10
% or
more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:

*Less than 10%
The
Company
is
exposed
to
interest
rate
fluctuations
associated
with
its
variable
rate
of
borrowings.
Such
exposure
is
managed
by
fixed
interest
indebtedness
such
as
a
bond,
an
interest
rate
swap
with
DNB (Note 7) and finance liabilities at fixed rates (Note 8).
Fair value of assets and liabilities
The
carrying
values
of
financial
assets
reflected
in
the
accompanying
consolidated
balance
sheet
approximate their respective fair values
due to the short-term nature
of these financial instruments.
Cash
and
cash
equivalents
and
restricted
cash
are
considered
Level 1 items
as
they
represent
liquid
assets
with
short-term
maturities.
The
fair
value
of
long-term
bank
loans
with
variable
interest
rates
approximates the recorded values, generally due to their variable
interest rates.
Fair value measurements disclosed
As of June 30, 2025,
the Bond having a fixed interest
rate and a carrying value of
$
175,000
