Fixed Assets - Vessel acquisitions (Table)

The Company accounted for these acquisitions as acquisitions of assets since the fair value of the vessels and the time and bareboat charters attached are concentrated in a single identifiable asset. The Company considered whether any value should be assigned to the attached charter party agreements acquired and concluded that (i) for the LNG/C Axios II, the LNG/C Apostolos and the LNG/C Aktoras, the contracted daily charter rate was above the market rate on the acquisition date and therefore the total consideration was allocated to the vessel’s cost and the above market acquired charter (Note 7) and (ii) for the LNG/C Assos the contracted daily charter rate was below the market rate on the acquisition date and therefore the total consideration was allocated to the vessel’s cost and the below market acquired charter (Note 7). The Company allocated the cost of the vessels and the time and bareboat charters acquired on the basis of their relative fair values.

The total acquisition cost of $1,204,000 was recorded in the Company’s financial statements as follows:
