<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The ocean-going container shipping industry is both cyclical and volatile in terms of charter rates and profitability. Containership charter rates peaked in 2005 and generally stayed strong until the middle of 2008, when the effects of the recent economic crisis began to affect global container trade,
  driving rates to their 10-year lows.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Demand for containerships also declined significantly during 2008 and 2009. In late 2009 and 2010, there has been improvement on Far East-to-Europe and trans-Pacific container trade lanes, alongside improvements also witnessed on other, non-main lane, trade routes including certain intra-Asia and
  North-South trade routes. However, from the end of the second quarter through December&nbsp;31, 2011, container trade has weakened as the impact of the European sovereign debt crisis and economic slowdowns across the globe have affected international trade. Liner companies have experienced a
  substantial drop-off in container shipping activity, resulting in decreased average freight rates in the second half of 2011, and the continuation of such decreased freight rates or any further declines in freight rates would negatively affect the liner companies to which we seek to charter our containerships.
  The economics of our business have also been affected negatively by the large number of containership newbuild vessels ordered prior to the onset of the downturn. Accordingly, weak conditions in the containership sector may affect our ability to generate cash flows and maintain liquidity, as well as
  adversely affect our ability to obtain financing.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Consumer confidence and consumer spending recovered substantially from the low levels in 2008 and 2009 through the second quarter of 2011. Both indexes declined steeply during the second half of the year, reaching almost 2008-2009 levels, but have started to recover from these low levels during
  the first two months of 2012. Our ability to re-charter our containerships upon the expiration or termination of their current time charters and the charter rates payable under any renewal options or replacement time charters will depend upon, among other things, the prevailing state of the containership
  charter market, which can be affected by consumer demand for products shipped in containers. If the charter market is depressed when our containerships&#146; time charters expire, we may be forced to re-charter our containerships at reduced or even unprofitable rates, or we may not be able to re-charter
  them at all, which may reduce or eliminate our earnings or make our earnings volatile. The same issues will be faced if we acquire additional vessels and attempt to obtain multi-year time charters as part of our acquisition and financing plan.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The sharp decline in global economic activity in 2008 and 2009 resulted in a substantial decline in the demand for container shipping services. While demand for container shipping services has improved through the first half of 2011, resulting in increased cargo volumes and freight rates achieved by
  liner companies, demand softened again through the end of 2011. The current weakness in demand for container shipping services and any future declines in such demand could result in financial challenges faced by our liner company customers and may increase the likelihood of one or more of our
  customers being unable or unwilling to pay us contracted charter rates. We expect to generate most of our revenues from these charters and if our charterers fail to meet their obligations to us, we will sustain significant losses which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
  results of operations.</FONT></P>

Although order-book volume dropped in the first half of 2011 to relatively low levels, it has subsequently returned to historical average levels, and deliveries of vessels ordered at the
  peak period will significantly increase the size of the container fleet over the next two years. An oversupply of newbuild vessel and/or re-chartered containership capacity entering the market, combined with any future decline in the demand for containerships, may result in a reduction of charter rates and
  may decrease our ability to re-charter our containerships other than for reduced rates or unprofitable rates, or we may not be able to re-charter our containerships at all.</FONT></P>

The current global recovery is proceeding at varying speeds across regions and is still subject to downside risks stemming from
  factors like fiscal fragility in advanced economies, highly accommodative macroeconomic policies and persistent difficulties in access to credit. In particular, recent concerns regarding the possibility of sovereign debt defaults by European Union member countries, including Greece, disrupted financial
  markets throughout the world, and may lead to weaker consumer demand in the European Union, the United States, and other parts of the world. The deterioration in the global economy has caused, and may continue to cause, a decrease in worldwide demand for </FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We anticipate that a significant number of port calls made by our containerships will continue to involve the loading or unloading of container cargoes in ports in the Asia Pacific region. In recent years, China has been one of the world&#146;s fastest growing economies in terms of gross domestic product,
  which has had a significant impact on shipping demand. However, if China&#146;s growth in gross domestic product declines and other countries in the Asia Pacific region experience slowed or experience negative economic growth in the future, this may exacerbate the effect of the significant downturns in the
  economies of the United States and the European Union, and thus, may negatively impact container shipping demand. For example, the possibility of sovereign debt defaults by European Union member countries, including Greece, and the possibility of market reforms to float the Chinese renminbi,
  either of which development could weaken the Euro against the Chinese renminbi, could adversely affect consumer demand in the European Union. Moreover, the revaluation of the renminbi may negatively impact the United States&#146; demand for imported goods, many of which are shipped from China in
  containerized form. Such weak economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Global financial markets and economic conditions have been severely disrupted and volatile in recent years and remain subject to significant vulnerabilities, such as the deterioration of fiscal balances and the rapid accumulation of public debt, continued deleveraging in the banking sector and a limited
  supply of credit. Credit markets as well as the debt and equity capital markets were exceedingly distressed during 2008 and 2009 and have been extremely volatile in recent months. The current sovereign debt crisis in countries such as Greece, for example, and concerns over debt levels of certain other
  European Union member states and in other countries around the world, as well as concerns about international banks, have led to increased volatility in global credit and equity markets. These issues, along with the re-pricing of credit risk and the difficulties currently experienced by financial institutions
  have made, and will likely continue to make, it difficult to obtain financing. As a result of the disruptions in the credit markets, many lenders have increased margins on lending rates, enacted tighter lending standards, required more restrictive terms (including higher collateral ratios for advances, shorter
  maturities and smaller loan amounts), or have refused to refinance existing debt at all. Furthermore, certain banks that have historically been significant lenders to the shipping industry have reduced or ceased lending activities in the shipping industry. New banking regulations, including larger capital
  requirements and the resulting policies adopted by lenders, could further reduce lending activities. We may experience difficulties obtaining financing commitments or be unable to fully draw on the capacity under our committed term loans in the future if our lenders are unwilling to extend financing to us
  or unable to meet their funding obligations due to their own liquidity, capital or solvency issues. We cannot be certain that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If financing is not available when needed, or is available only on unfavorable terms, we may be unable to meet our future
  obligations as they come due. Our failure to obtain such funds could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as our cash flows, including cash available for dividends to our shareholders. In the absence of available financing, we also may be
  unable to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">In addition, as a result of the ongoing economic turmoil in Greece resulting from the sovereign debt crisis and the related austerity measures implemented by the Greek government, we face the risk that strikes, work stoppages, civil unrest and violence within Greece may disrupt our shoreside
  operations and those of our managers located in Greece.</FONT></P>

Payments to us under these time charters are and will be our sole source of operating cash flow. Many of our charterers finance their activities through cash from operations,
  the incurrence of debt or the issuance of equity. Since 2008, there has been a significant decline in the credit markets and the availability of credit, and the equity markets have been volatile. The combination of a reduction of cash flow resulting from declines in world trade, a reduction in borrowing
  bases under reserve-based credit facilities and the lack of availability of debt or equity financing may result in a significant reduction in the ability of our charterers to make charter payments to us. Additionally, we could lose a time charter if the charterer exercises certain specified, limited termination
  rights.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">If we lose a time charter because the charterer is unable to pay us or for any other reason, we may be unable to re-deploy the related vessel on similarly favorable terms or at all. Also, we will not receive any revenues from such a vessel while it is un-chartered, but we will be required to pay
  expenses necessary to maintain and insure the vessel and service any indebtedness on it. The combination of any surplus of containership capacity and the expected increase in the size of the world containership fleet over the next few years may make it difficult to secure substitute employment for any of
  our containerships if our counterparties fail to perform their obligations under the currently arranged time charters, and any new charter arrangements we are able to secure may be at lower rates. Furthermore, the surplus of containerships available at lower charter rates and lack of demand for our
  customers&#146; liner services could negatively affect our charterers&#146; willingness to perform their obligations under our time charters, which in many cases provide for charter rates significantly above current market rates. While we have agreed in certain cases to charter rate re-arrangements entailing reductions
  for specified periods, we have been compensated for these adjustments by, among other things, subsequent rate increases, so that the aggregate payments under the charters are not materially reduced, and in some cases we also have arranged for term extensions. However, there is no assurance that any
  future charter re-arrangements will be on similarly favorable terms.</FONT></P>

  to generate a substantial portion of our revenues. The cessation of business with these liner companies or their failure to fulfill their obligations under the time charters for our containerships could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, as well as our cash flows.

For instance, the government of China has recently implemented economic policies aimed at increasing domestic consumption of Chinese-made
  goods. This may have the effect of reducing the supply of goods available for export and may, in turn, result in a decrease of demand for container shipping. Additionally, though in China there is an increasing level of autonomy and a gradual shift in emphasis to a &#147;market economy&#148; and enterprise
  reform, many of the reforms, particularly some limited price reforms that result in the prices for certain commodities being principally determined by market forces, are unprecedented or experimental and may be subject to revision, change or abolition. The level of imports to and exports from China
  could be adversely affected by changes to these economic reforms by the Chinese government, as well as by changes in political, economic and social conditions or other relevant policies of the Chinese government.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Our operations expose us to the risk that increased trade protectionism will adversely affect our business. If the incipient global recovery is undermined by downside risks and the recent economic downturn is prolonged, governments may turn to trade barriers to protect their domestic industries
  against foreign imports, thereby depressing the demand for shipping. Specifically, increasing trade protectionism in the markets that our charterers serve has caused and may continue to cause an increase in (i) the cost of goods exported from China, (ii) the length of time required to deliver goods from
  China and (iii) the risks associated with exporting goods from China, as well as a decrease in the quantity of goods to be shipped.</FONT></P>

  comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because these laws and regulations are
  relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their non-binding nature, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. We do a substantial amount of business in China, including through one of our managers, Shanghai Costamare, a Chinese

In recent years, the limited supply of and increased demand for well-
  qualified crew, due to the increase in the size of the global shipping fleet, has created upward pressure on crewing costs, which we generally bear under our time charters. Increases in crew costs and other vessel operating costs such as insurance, repairs and maintenance, and lubricants may adversely
  affect our profitability. In addition, if we cannot retain sufficient numbers of quality on-board seafaring personnel, our fleet utilization will decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">In general, the cost of maintaining a vessel in good operating condition increases with the age of the vessel. As our fleet ages, we will incur increased costs. Older vessels may require longer and more expensive dry-dockings, resulting in more off-hire days and reduced revenue. Older vessels are
  typically less fuel efficient and more costly to maintain than more recently constructed vessels due to improvements in engine technology. In addition, older vessels are often less desirable to charterers. Governmental regulations and safety or other equipment standards related to the age of a vessel may
  also require expenditures for alterations or the addition of new equipment to our vessels and may restrict the type of activities in which our containerships may engage. Our current fleet of 57 containerships, including 10 newbuild vessels on order, as of February 15, 2012 had an average age (weighted by
  TEU capacity) of 9.3 years and included one containership over 30 years old. See &#147;Item 4. Information on the Company&#151;Business Overview&#151;Our Fleet and Newbuild Vessels&#148;.

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">One of our principal objectives is to acquire additional containerships in conjunction with entering into additional multi-year time charters for these vessels. The process of obtaining new multi-year time charters is highly competitive and generally involves an intensive screening process and
  competitive bids, and often extends for several months. Generally, we compete for charters based upon charter rate, customer relationships, operating expertise, professional reputation and containership specifications, including size, age and condition.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">In addition, as vessels age, it can be more difficult to employ them on profitable time charters, particularly during periods of decreased demand in the charter market. Accordingly, we may find it difficult to continue to find profitable employment for our older vessels, including the one vessel in our
  fleet over 30 years of age as of February 15, 2012.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We face substantial competition from a number of experienced companies, including state-sponsored entities. Some of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we do, and can therefore operate larger fleets and may be able to offer better charter rates. In the future, we may
  also face competition from reputable, experienced and well-capitalized marine transportation companies that do not currently own containerships, but may choose to do so. Any increased competition may cause greater price competition for time charters, as well as for the acquisition of high-quality
  secondhand vessels and newbuild vessels. Further, since the charter rate is generally considered to be one of the principal factors in a charterer&#146;s decision to charter a vessel, the rates offered by our competitors can place downward pressure on rates throughout the charter market. As a result of these
  factors, we may be unable to re-charter our containerships, expand our relationships with existing customers or to obtain new customers on a profitable basis, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends

If more containerships become available for the
  spot or short-term charter market, we may have difficulty entering into additional multi-year, fixed-rate time charters for our containerships due to the increased supply of containerships and the possibility of lower rates in the spot market. As a result, we will then have to charter more of our
  containerships for shorter periods and our revenues, cash flows and profitability could then reflect, to some degree, fluctuations in the short-term charter market.</FONT></P>

The vessel was determined to be a constructive total loss for insurance purposes. The proceedings regarding the grounding are at an early stage. Accordingly, while we
  anticipate that our insurance policies will cover most costs and losses associated with the incident, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all risks, including potential civil and criminal liabilities. As a result, claims against us or our subsidiaries as a result of the grounding of the <I>Rena</I> could have a
  material adverse effect on our business.</FONT></P>
<P style="margin:6.3mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B><I>Our insurance may be insufficient to cover losses that may occur to our property or result from our operations.</I></B></FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The operation of any vessel includes risks such as mechanical failure, collision, fire, contact with floating objects, property loss, cargo loss or damage and business interruption due to political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities and labor strikes. In addition, there is always an inherent
  possibility of a marine disaster, including oil spills and other environmental mishaps. There are also liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade. We procure insurance for our fleet of containerships in relation to risks commonly insured against by vessel owners and operators.
  Our current insurance includes (i) hull and machinery insurance covering damage to our and third-party vessels&#146; hulls and machinery from, among other things, collisions and contact with fixed and floating objects, (ii) war risks insurance covering losses associated with the outbreak or escalation of
  hostilities and (iii) protection and indemnity insurance (which includes environmental damage) covering, among other things, third-party and crew liabilities such as expenses resulting from the injury or death of crew members, passengers and other third parties, the loss or damage to cargo, third-party
  claims arising from collisions with other vessels, damage to other third-party property and pollution arising from oil or other substances.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We can give no assurance that we are adequately insured against all risks or that our insurers will pay a particular claim. Even if our insurance coverage is adequate to cover our losses, we may not be able to obtain a timely replacement containership in the event of a loss of a containership. Under
  the terms of our credit facilities, we are subject to restrictions on the use of any proceeds we may receive from claims under our insurance policies. Furthermore, in the future, we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates for our fleet. For example, more stringent
  environmental regulations have led to increased costs for, and in the future may result in the lack of availability of, insurance against risks of environmental damage or pollution. We may also be subject to calls, or premiums, in amounts based not only on our own claim records but also the claim records
  of all other members of the protection and indemnity associations through which we receive indemnity insurance coverage. There is no cap on our liability exposure for such calls or premiums payable to our protection and indemnity association; however, such calls or premiums have only been assessed by
  the protection and indemnity association in which our vessels are currently entered in two of the last fifteen years, in each case, for amounts that were immaterial. Based on the limited size and frequency of the calls or premiums historically, we do not believe these amounts to be material. Our insurance
  policies also contain deductibles, limitations and exclusions which, although we believe are standard in the shipping industry, may nevertheless increase our costs. A catastrophic oil spill or marine disaster could exceed our insurance coverage, which could harm our business, financial condition and
  operating results and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. Any uninsured or underinsured loss could harm our business and financial condition. In addition, the insurance may be voidable by the insurers as a result of certain actions, such as vessels failing to maintain required certification.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">In addition, we do not carry loss of hire insurance. Loss of hire insurance covers the loss of revenue during extended vessel off-hire periods, such as those that occur during an unscheduled dry-docking due to damage to the vessel from accidents. Accordingly, any loss of a vessel or any extended
  period of vessel off-hire, due to an accident or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders.</FONT></P>

The U.S.
  sanctions and embargo laws and regulations vary in their application, as they do not all apply to the same covered persons or proscribe the same activities, and such sanctions and embargo laws and regulations may be amended or strengthened over time. In 2010, the U.S. enacted the Comprehensive Iran
  Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act (&#147;CISADA&#148;), which expanded the scope of the former Iran Sanctions Act. Among other things, CISADA expands the application of the prohibitions to non-U.S. companies, such as the Company, and introduces limits on the ability of companies and persons
  to do business or trade with Iran when such activities relate to the investment, supply or export of refined petroleum or petroleum products. In addition, the U.S. Congress is currently considering the enactment of the Iran, North Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Reform and Modernization Act of 2011,
  which would, among other things, provide for the imposition of sanctions, including a prohibition on investments by U.S. persons and a 180-day prohibition on calling at any U.S. port, on companies or persons that provide certain shipping services to or from Iran, North Korea or Syria with respect to
  certain prohibited goods.</FONT></P>

While the BCA does specifically incorporate the non-statutory law, or judicial case law, of the State of Delaware and other states with substantially similar legislative provisions, our public stockholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests

Under the NYSE rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by another company or group is a &#147;controlled company&#148; and may elect not to comply with certain NYSE corporate governance requirements, including (1) the requirement that
  a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) the requirement that the nominating committee be composed entirely of independent directors and have a written charter addressing the committee&#146;s purpose and responsibilities, (3) the requirement that the compensation committee
  be composed entirely of independent directors and have a written charter addressing the committee&#146;s purpose and responsibilities and (4) the requirement of an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees. As permitted by these exemptions, as
  well as by our bylaws and the laws of the Marshall Islands, we currently have a board of directors with a majority of non-independent directors, an audit committee comprised solely of two independent directors and a combined corporate governance, nominating and compensation committee with one
  non-independent director serving as a committee chairman. As a result, non-independent directors, including members of our management who also serve on our board of directors, may, among other things, fix the compensation of our management, make stock and option awards and resolve governance
  issues regarding our company. Accordingly, in the future you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.</FONT></P>

For purposes of these tests, &#147;passive income&#148; includes dividends, interest, and gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties that are received from unrelated parties

  Accordingly, we believe that our income from our time chartering activities does not constitute &#147;passive income&#148;, and the assets that we own and operate in connection with the production of that income do not constitute passive assets. Our counsel, Cravath, Swaine &amp; Moore LLP, is of the opinion that we

  determine that we are a PFIC. Moreover, no assurance can be given that we would not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if there were to be changes in the nature and extent of our operations.</FONT></P>

  at the then prevailing income tax rates on ordinary income plus interest upon excess distributions and upon any gain from the disposition of our common stock, as if the excess distribution or gain had been recognized ratably over the stockholder&#146;s holding period.

  1992, we have focused exclusively on containerships. After assuming management of our company in 1998, Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos has concentrated on building a large, modern and reliable containership fleet run and supported by highly-skilled, experienced and loyal personnel. He founded the
  management companies CIEL and Shanghai Costamare in 2001 and 2005, respectively, and he founded the manning agency C-Man Maritime in 2006. Today, Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos remains focused on continuing to develop the scope and capabilities of our management companies and related

At that date, our fleet consisted of (i) 47 vessels in the water, aggregating approximately 238,000 TEU and (ii) ten newbuild vessels aggregating approximately 89,000 TEU that are scheduled to be delivered to us between October 2012 and January 2014. See &#147;&#151;Our Fleet,
  Acquisitions and Newbuild Vessels&#148;.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Our strategy is to time-charter our containerships to a geographically diverse, financially strong and loyal group of leading liner companies. Our containerships operate primarily under multi-year time charters and therefore are not subject to the effect of seasonal variations in demand. Our
  containerships have a record of low unscheduled off-hire days, with fleet utilization levels of 99.9%, 99.7% and 99.3% in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Over the last three years our largest customers by revenue were A.P. Moller-Maersk, MSC and COSCO. As of February 15, 2012, the average
  (weighted by TEU capacity) remaining time-charter duration for our fleet of 57 containerships was 5.7 years, based on the remaining fixed terms and assuming the exercise of any owner&#146;s options and the non-exercise of any charterer&#146;s options under our containerships&#146; charters. As of February 15, 2012,
  our fixed-term charters represented an aggregate of $3.0 billion of contracted revenue, assuming the earliest redelivery dates possible and 365 revenue days per annum per containership.</FONT></P>

  three management companies provides us with a deep pool of operational management in multiple locations with market-specific experience and relationships, as well as the geographic flexibility needed to manage and crew our large and diverse fleet so as to provide a high level of service, while
  remaining cost-effective.

  related insurance services and the services of our officers (but not for payment of such officer&#146;s compensation or benefits) and for providing the relevant containership-owning subsidiaries with technical, commercial, insurance, accounting, provisions, sale and purchase, crewing and bunkering services. In the
  event that Costamare Shipping decides to delegate certain or all of the services it has agreed to perform, either through subcontracting to CIEL or Shanghai Costamare or by directing CIEL or Shanghai Costamare to enter into a direct ship-management agreement with the relevant containership-owning
  subsidiary, then, in the case of subcontracting, Costamare Shipping will be responsible for paying the management fee charged by the relevant sub-manager for providing such services and, in the case of a direct ship-management agreement, the fee received by Costamare Shipping will be reduced by the
  fee payable to CIEL or, as the case may be, Shanghai Costamare, under the relevant direct ship-management agreement. As a result, these arrangements will not result in any increase in the aggregate management fees we pay. In addition to management fees, we pay for any capital expenditures, financial
  costs, operating expenses and any general and administrative expenses, including the salaries of our officers and employees and payments to third parties, including specialist providers, in accordance with the Group Management Agreement and the relevant separate ship-management agreements or
  supervision agreements. We also pay to Costamare Shipping a flat fee of $700,000 per newbuild vessel for the supervision of the construction of any newbuild vessel for which we may contract. Costamare Shipping also receives a fee of 0.75% on all gross freight, demurrage, charter hire and ballast bonus
  or other income earned with respect to each containership in our fleet. The initial term of the Group Management Agreement expires on December 31, 2015. The Group Management Agreement automatically renews for five consecutive one-year periods until December 31, 2020, at which point the
  Group Management Agreement will expire. The management fee of $850 per day for each containership is fixed until December 31, 2012 and will thereafter be annually adjusted upwards by 4%, with further annual increases permitted to reflect any strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar and/or
  material unforeseen cost increases. After the initial term expires on December 31, 2015, we will be able to terminate the Group Management Agreement, subject to a termination fee, by providing written notice to Costamare Shipping at least 12 months before the end of the subsequent one-year term.
  The termination fee is equal to (a) the lesser of (i) five and (ii) the number of full years remaining prior to December 31, 2020, times (b) the aggregate fees due and payable to Costamare Shipping during the 12-month period ending on the date of termination (without taking into account any reduction
  in fees to reflect that certain obligations have been delegated to a sub-manager),<I> provided</I> that the termination fee will always be at least two times the aggregate fees over the 12-month period described above. Information about other termination events under the Group Management Agreement is set
  forth in &#147;Our Managers and Management-Related Agreements&#151;Term and Termination Rights&#148;.

  seaborne movement of containerized goods. Historically, a significant share of the world&#146;s containership capacity has been owned by the liner companies, but since the 1990s there has been an increasing trend for the liner companies to charter-in a larger proportion of the capacity that they operate as a
  way of retaining some degree of flexibility with regard to capital spending levels over time given the significant costs associated with purchasing vessels.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We believe that the containership sector of the international shipping industry is characterized by the significant time required to develop the operating expertise and professional reputation necessary to obtain and retain customers. We believe that our development of a large fleet of containerships
  with varying TEU capacities has enhanced our relationship with our principal charterers by enabling them to serve the East-West, North-South and Intra-regional trade routes efficiently, while enabling us to operate in the different rate environments prevailing for those routes. We also believe that our
  focus on customer service and reliability enhances our relationships with our charterers. In the past decade, we have had successful chartering relationships with the majority of the top 20 liner companies by TEU capacity.</FONT></P>

  people served in a pool of personnel who rotate their service onboard the containerships in our fleet. Costamare Shipping, CIEL and Shanghai Costamare, our managers, each employed approximately 90, 40 and 30 people, respectively, all of whom were shore-based. In addition, our managers are
  responsible for recruiting, either directly or through a crewing agent, the senior officers and all other crew members for our containerships. Recruiting is arranged directly through our managers&#146; crewing offices in Athens, Greece and Shanghai, China, and indirectly through our related crewing agent, C-
  Man Maritime, in the Philippines, and independent manning agents in Romania and Bulgaria. We believe the streamlining of crewing arrangements through our managers ensures that all of our vessels will be crewed with experienced crews that have the qualifications and licenses required by international

  factors, including the commodity being transported, the waters in which the vessel operates, the nationality of the vessel&#146;s crew and the type and age of the vessel. All permits, licenses, certificates and financial assurances currently required to operate our vessels have been obtained (exclusive of cargo-

  vessel&#146;s country of registry and the international conventions of which that country is a member. In addition, where surveys are required by international conventions and corresponding laws and ordinances of a flag state, the classification society will undertake them on application or by official order,

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><I>Class Renewal Surveys.</I> Class renewal surveys, also known as special surveys, are carried out on the ship&#146;s hull and machinery, including the electrical plant, and on any special equipment classed at the intervals indicated by the character of classification for the hull. During the special survey, the
  vessel is thoroughly examined, including audio-gauging to determine the thickness of the steel structures. Should the thickness be found to be less than class requirements, the classification society would prescribe steel renewals. The classification society may grant a one-year grace period for completion of
  the special survey. Substantial amounts of funds may have to be spent for steel renewals to pass a special survey if the vessel experiences excessive wear and tear. In lieu of the special survey every four or five years, depending on whether a grace period is granted, a ship-owner has the option of
  arranging with the classification society for the vessel&#146;s hull or machinery to be on a continuous survey cycle, in which every part of the vessel would be surveyed within a five-year cycle. At a ship-owner&#146;s application, the surveys required for class renewal may be split according to an agreed schedule to

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We believe that the heightened level of environmental and quality concerns among insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers is leading to greater inspection and safety requirements for all vessels and may accelerate the scrapping of older vessels throughout the container shipping industry.
  Increasing environmental concerns have created a demand for vessels that conform to the strictest environmental standards. We will be required to maintain operating standards for all of our vessels that emphasize operational safety, quality maintenance, continuous training of our officers and crews and

The IMO has adopted regulations that are designed to reduce pollution in international waters, both from accidents and from routine operations,
  and has negotiated international conventions that impose liability for oil pollution in international waters and a signatory&#146;s territorial waters. For example, Annex III of MARPOL regulates the transportation of marine pollutants and imposes standards on packing, marking, labeling, documentation,
  stowage, quantity limitations and pollution prevention. These requirements have been expanded by the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, which imposes additional standards for all aspects of the transportation of dangerous goods and marine pollutants by sea. Annex VI to MARPOL, which

Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur
  emissions. In addition, amendments to Annex VI that entered into force in July 2010 seek to reduce air pollution from vessels by, among other things, establishing a series of progressive requirements to further limit the sulfur content of fuel oil that will be phased in through 2020 and by establishing new
  tiers of nitrogen oxide emission standards for new marine diesel engines, depending on their date of installation. Additionally, more stringent emission standards could apply in the coastal areas currently designated as Emission Control Areas, such as the Baltic Sea, North Sea and United States and
  Canadian coastal areas, and any such areas designated in the future. All our existing containerships are generally compliant with current Annex VI requirements, except that for those built before 2000, we may incur costs under these or other requirements in the future, such as the installation of control
  equipment on our containership engines to comply with nitrogen oxide emission requirements.</FONT></P>

The
  Bunker Convention also requires registered owners of vessels over 1,000 gross tons to maintain insurance in specified amounts to cover liability for bunker fuel pollution damage. Each of our containerships has been issued a certificate attesting that insurance is in force in accordance with the Bunker
  Convention. In 2004, the IMO also adopted an International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships&#146; Ballast Water and Sediments (the &#147;BWM Convention&#148;). The BWM Convention&#146;s implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements,
  to be replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits. The BWM Convention will not enter into force until 12 months after it has been ratified by 30 states, the combined merchant fleets of which represent not less than 35% of the gross tonnage of the world&#146;s merchant shipping.

The ISM Code requires vessel owners, bareboat charterers and management companies to develop and maintain an
  extensive Safety Management System (&#147;SMS&#148;) that includes the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy, sets forth instructions and procedures for safe operation and describes procedures for dealing with emergencies. The ISM Code requires that vessel operators obtain a &#147;Safety
  Management Certificate&#148; for each vessel they operate from the government of the vessel&#146;s flag state. The certificate verifies that the vessel operates in compliance with its approved SMS. Noncompliance by a vessel owner, manager or bareboat charterer with the ISM Code may subject such party to
  increased liability, invalidate existing insurance or decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels and result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. Our managers and each of our containerships is ISM Code-certified.</FONT></P>

  may evidence their financial responsibility by showing proof of insurance, surety bond, guarantee, letter of credit or self-insurance. An owner or operator of a fleet of vessels is required only to demonstrate evidence of financial responsibility in an amount sufficient to cover the vessel in the fleet having
  the greatest maximum liability under OPA 90 and CERCLA. Under the self-insurance provisions, the vessel owner or operator must have a net worth and working capital, measured in assets located in the United States against liabilities located anywhere in the world, that exceeds the applicable amount

In the event that such insurer or guarantor is sued

  response plan for each vessel. These vessel response plans include detailed information on actions to be taken by vessel personnel to prevent or mitigate any discharge or substantial threat of such a discharge of oil from the vessel due to operational activities or casualties.

It also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages and complements the remedies available under the
  more recently enacted OPA 90 and CERCLA, discussed above. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the &#147;EPA&#148;) regulates the discharge of ballast water and other substances under the CWA. EPA regulations require vessels 79 feet in length or longer (other than commercial fishing vessels) to
  obtain coverage under a Vessel General Permit (&#147;VGP&#148;) authorizing discharges of ballast waters and other wastewaters incidental to the operation of vessels when operating within the three-mile territorial waters or inland waters of the United States. The VGP requires vessel owners and operators to
  comply with a range of best management practices and reporting and other requirements for a number of incidental discharge types. The EPA has proposed a new VGP to become effective in 2013 that, if finalized, will impose, among other things, numerical ballast water discharge limits. We have
  obtained coverage under the current version of the VGP for all of our containerships that operate in U.S. waters. We do not believe that any costs associated with meeting the requirements under the VGP will be material.</FONT></P>

The U.S. Coast Guard adopted regulations under NISA in July 2004 that impose
  mandatory ballast water management practices for all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks entering U.S. waters. These requirements can be met by performing mid-ocean ballast exchange, by retaining ballast water on board the vessel or by using environmentally sound alternative ballast water
  management methods approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. However, mid-ocean ballast exchange is mandatory for vessels heading to the Great Lakes or Hudson Bay. Mid-ocean ballast exchange is the primary method for compliance with the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, since holding ballast water can
  prevent vessels from performing cargo operations upon arrival in the United States and alternative methods are still under development. Vessels that are unable to conduct mid-ocean ballast exchange due to voyage or safety concerns may discharge minimum amounts of ballast water (in areas other than
  the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay), provided that they comply with record keeping requirements and document the reasons they could not follow the required ballast water management requirements. The U.S. Coast Guard is proposing new ballast water management standards and practices that could
  ultimately lead to the establishment of maximum acceptable discharge limits for various invasive species and/or requirements for active treatment of ballast water.

Several states also regulate emissions from vapor control and
  recovery under authority of State Implementation Plans adopted under the CAA. On April 30, 2010, the EPA promulgated regulations that impose more stringent standards for emissions of particulate matter, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides from new Category 3 marine diesel engines on vessels
  constructed on or after January 1, 2016 and registered or flagged in the U.S. and implement the new MARPOL Annex VI requirements for U.S. and foreign flagged ships entering U.S. ports or operating in U.S. internal waters. The EPA is also considering a petition from a number of environmental
  groups that requests the EPA to impose more stringent emissions limits on foreign-flagged vessels operating in U.S. waters. In addition, California has adopted emission limits for auxiliary diesel engines of ocean-going vessels operating within 24 miles of the California coast and require operators to use
  low content fuel. If new or more stringent regulations relating to emissions from marine diesel engines or port operations by ocean-going vessels are adopted by the EPA or states, these requirements could require significant capital expenditures or otherwise increase the costs of our operations.</FONT></P>

This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a
  result of many factors, such as those set forth under &#147;Item 3. Key Information&#151;D. Risk Factors&#148; and elsewhere in this annual report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We are an international owner of containerships, chartering our vessels to many of the world&#146;s largest liner companies. As of February 15, 2012, we had a fleet of 57 containerships aggregating approximately 327,000 TEU, making us one of the largest public containership companies in the world,
  based on total TEU capacity. At that date, our fleet consisted of (i) 47 vessels in the water, aggregating approximately 238,000 TEU and (ii) ten newbuild vessels aggregating approximately 89,000 TEU that are scheduled to be delivered to us between October 2012 and January 2014. See &#147;Item 4.
  Information on the Company&#151;Business Overview&#151;Our Fleet, Acquisitions and Newbuild Vessels&#148;.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We principally deploy our containerships on multi-year, fixed-rate time charters to take advantage of the stable cash flows and high utilization rates typically associated with multi-year time charters. Time-chartered containerships are generally employed on multi-year charters to liner companies that
  charter-in vessels on a multi-year basis as part of their business strategies.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">As of February 15, 2012, the average (weighted by TEU capacity) remaining time-charter duration for our fleet of 57 containerships was 5.7 years, based on the remaining fixed terms and assuming the exercise of any owner&#146;s options and the non-exercise of any charterer&#146;s options under our
  containerships&#146; charters. As of December 31, 2011, our fixed-term charters represented an aggregate of $3.0 billion of contracted revenue, assuming the earliest redelivery dates possible and 365 revenue days per annum per containership. See the table entitled &#147;Contracted Revenue and Days From Time
  Charters as of December 31, 2011&#148; in &#147;Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects&#151;Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations&#151;Voyage Revenue&#148;. As of February 15, 2012, our fixed-term charters represented an aggregate of $3.0 billion of contracted revenue, assuming the earliest redelivery
  dates possible and 365 revenue days per annum per containership.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The table below provides additional information about the charter coverage for our fleet of containerships as of December 31, 2011. Except as indicated in the footnotes, it does not reflect events occurring after that date, including any charter contract we entered into after that date. It does reflect
  our contracts to acquire newbuild vessels. The table assumes the earliest redelivery dates possible under our containerships&#146; charters. See &#147;Item 4. Information on the Company&#151;Business Overview&#151;Our Fleet and Newbuild Vessels&#148;.</FONT></P>

      Number of Vessels in Our Fleet.</I> The number of vessels in our fleet is a key factor in determining the level of our revenues. Aggregate expenses also increase as the size of our fleet increases. Vessel acquisitions and dispositions give rise to gains and losses and other one-time items. During 2007 and
      2008, we increased the number of vessels in our fleet so that on October 31, 2008 our fleet consisted of 53 containerships. Thereafter, from 2009 through the first half of 2010, in response to the global economic recession, we reduced our fleet through dispositions to 41 vessels. Beginning in the
      second half of 2010, when the market started to recover and vessel prices were at an attractive point, we have substantially grown our fleet to a total of 57 vessels as of February 15, 2012, including ten newbuild vessels on order.</FONT></P></TD>

Charter rates are based primarily on demand and supply of containership capacity at the time we enter into the charters for our vessels. Demand and supply can fluctuate significantly over time as a result of changing
      economic conditions affecting trade flow between ports served by liner companies and the industries which use liner shipping services. Although our multi-year charters make us less susceptible to cyclical containership charter rates than vessels operated on shorter-term charters, such as spot charters,
      we are exposed to varying charter rate environments when our chartering arrangements expire and we seek to deploy our containerships under new charters. As illustrated in the table above under &#147;&#151;Overview&#148;, the staggered maturities of our containership charters reduce our exposure to any one
      particular rate environment and point in the shipping cycle. See &#147;&#151;Voyage Revenue&#148;.</FONT></P></TD>

Nevertheless, the amount of time our vessels spend dry-docked undergoing repairs, maintenance or upgrade work affects our results
      of operations. Historically, our fleet has had a limited number of unscheduled off-hire days. In 2009, 2010 and 2011 our fleet utilization based on unscheduled off-hire days as a percentage of total operating days for each year was 99.9%, 99.7% and 99.3%, respectively. However, an increase in
      annual off-hire days could reduce our utilization. The efficiency with which suitable employment is secured, the ability to minimize off-hire days and the amount of time spent positioning vessels also affects our results of operations.

For purposes of determining the straight line revenue amount, we exclude these periods and treat the charter as expiring at the end of the last fixed rate period.
  Our revenues will be affected by the acquisition of any additional vessels in the future subject to time charters, as well as by the disposition of any existing vessel in our fleet. Our revenues will also be affected if any of our charterers cancel a time charter or if we agree to renegotiate charter terms during
  the term of a charter resulting in aggregate revenue reduction. Our time charter arrangements have been contracted in varying rate environments and expire at different times. Generally, we do not employ our vessels under voyage charters under which a ship-owner, in return for a fixed sum, agrees to
  transport cargo from one or more loading ports to one or more destinations and assumes all vessel operating costs and voyage expenses.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">After rising during 2007 and the first half of 2008, charter rates for containerships fell dramatically to 10-year lows during the second half of 2008 and 2009. While rates improved in 2010, they have not recovered to rate levels similar to those seen in late 2005. 2011 has seen increasing charter rates
  and asset prices during the first 6 months of the year, followed by steep declines during the latter half, due to reduced transportation demand triggered by the unfolding global sovereign debt crisis and overall volatile financial conditions. While charter rates and the level of demand for containerships are
  historically volatile, and there can be no assurance that either will improve, we believe that any continued improvement in the global economy and demand for containerships will lead to an improvement in charter rates over time.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The table below provides additional information about our expected revenues based on contracted charter rates as of December 31, 2011. Although these expected revenues are based on contracted charter rates, any contract is subject to various risks, including performance by the counterparties or an
  early termination of the contract pursuant to its terms. If the charterers are unable to make charter payments to us, if we agree to renegotiate charter terms at the request of a charterer or if contracts are prematurely terminated for any reason, our results of operations and financial condition may be
  materially adversely affected. Historically, we have had no defaults or early terminations by charterers, although in certain cases we have agreed to changes in charter terms.</FONT></P>

Factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general&#151;for instance, developments relating to market premiums for insurance and changes in the market
  price of lubricants due to increases in oil prices&#151;may also cause vessel operating expenses to increase. In addition, a substantial portion of our vessel operating expenses, primarily crew wages, are in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (mainly in Euro), and any gain or loss we incur as a result of the U.S.
  dollar fluctuating in value against these currencies is included in vessel operating expenses. As of December 31, 2011, approximately 42% of our outstanding accounts payable were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (mainly in Euro). We fund our managers with the amounts they will

For years prior to January 1, 2007, we estimated this to be 25 years. As of January 1, 2007, we determined the estimated useful lives of our containerships to be 30 years from their initial
  delivery from the shipyard. This change was made to reflect our experience, market conditions and the current practice in the containership industry. Depreciation is based on cost, less the estimated scrap value of the vessels. As of December 31, 2011, one of our vessels with 3,876 TEU capacity, was fully
  depreciated.</FONT></P>

Our books of accounts are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the
  exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. The gain or loss derives from the different foreign currency exchange rates between the time that a cost is recorded in our books and the time that the cost is paid. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in
  other currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected as foreign exchange gains / (losses) in our consolidated statement of income.</FONT></P>

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the
  forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow and are then reported in earnings. Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in earnings in the period in which those fair value changes have occurred.
  As at December 31, 2011, we were engaged in 27 interest rate derivative instruments in order to partially hedge the exposure of interest rate fluctuations associated with our variable rate borrowings and at this date 27 out of 28 of these agreements met hedge accounting criteria and the effective portion
  in change in their fair value is recognized in &#147;Other Comprehensive Loss&#148; in stockholders&#146; equity on our balance sheet.

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of these financial measures additional meaningful
  comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain
  items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company&#146;s performance. The table below sets out our Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis and the corresponding
  reconciliation to Voyage revenue for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company&#146;s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.</FONT></P>

Ten of the 11 interest rate derivative instruments that were outstanding, as at December 31, 2010, qualified for hedge accounting and the effective portion in the change of their fair value is recorded in &#147;Other comprehensive loss&#148; in stockholders&#146; equity. For the year ended
  December 31, 2010, a loss of $21.9 million has been included in &#147;Other comprehensive loss&#148; in stockholders&#146; equity and a loss of $4.9 million has been included in &#147;Gain (loss) on derivative instruments&#148; in the consolidated statement of income, resulting from the fair market value change of the interest
  rate swaps during the year ended December 31, 2010.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">In the past, our principal sources of funds have been operating cash flows and long-term bank borrowings. Our principal uses of funds have been capital expenditures to establish, grow and maintain our fleet, comply with international shipping standards, environmental laws and regulations, fund
  working capital requirements and pay dividends. In monitoring our working capital needs, we project our charter hire income and vessels&#146; maintenance and running expenses, as well as debt service obligations, and seek to maintain adequate cash reserves in order to address any budget overruns.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Our primary short-term liquidity need is to fund our vessel operating expenses. Our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to additional vessel acquisitions in the containership sectors and debt repayment. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds will be cash from operations and undrawn
  borrowing capacity under our committed credit facilities, along with borrowings under new credit facilities that we intend to obtain from time to time in connection with vessel acquisitions. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs,
  including our agreements, subject to certain conditions, to acquire newbuild vessels, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain future debt financing on terms acceptable to us. In addition, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 with the SEC on January 30, 2012, which
  became effective on February 14, 2012. We may use this registration statement to issue up to $300.0 million in aggregate public offering price of additional common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, rights or units.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">As at December 31, 2011, we had total cash liquidity of $144.1 million, consisting of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.</FONT></P>

As at the same date, we had $153.2 million of undrawn borrowing capacity comprising from $113.7 million under a loan facility concluded on October 6, 2011 and $39.5 million
  under a term facility we concluded on November 19, 2010, which amount excludes $660.4 million of available borrowing capacity under four facilities committed to finance part of the pre-delivery and delivery installments of the construction of our ten newbuild vessels on order. See &#147;&#151;Credit Facilities&#148;. As
  at February 15, 2012, we had $132.2 million of undrawn borrowing capacity comprising from $113.7 million under a loan facility concluded on October 6, 2011 and $18.5 million under a term facility we concluded on November 19, 2010, which amount excludes up to $647.0 million of available borrowing
  capacity under four facilities committed to finance part of the pre-delivery and delivery installments of the construction of our ten newbuild vessels on order. Furthermore, as of February 15, 2012, the vessels shown in the table below were free of debt. Several of these vessels have been identified to be

As discussed under &#147;2008 Reorganization&#148;, the $400.0 million in distributions were paid
  pursuant to the MSA in connection with the sale by the Konstantakopoulos family of the shares or assets of 53 ship-owning companies to the Company or newly formed subsidiaries of the Company. No distributions were paid in the year ended December 31, 2010 or 2011.</FONT></P>

We will require capital to fund ongoing operations, the construction of our new vessels, the acquisition cost of any secondhand vessels we agree to acquire in the future and debt service.
  Working capital, which is current assets minus current liabilities, including the current portion of long-term debt, was negative of $87.7 million at December 31, 2011 and positive of $26.4 million at December 31, 2010.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The economic and market conditions as at December 31, 2010 and 2011, including the significant disruptions in the global credit markets in the prior years, had broad effects on participants in a wide variety of industries. 2011 saw increasing charter rates and asset prices during the first six months of
  the year, along with further growth in vessel supply, followed by steep declines in both charter rates and vessel values during the latter half of the year, due to reduced transportation demand triggered by the unfolding sovereign debt crisis and overall financial volatility, conditions that we consider
  indicators of impairment.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">In developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, we make assumptions and estimates about the vessels&#146; future performance, with the significant assumptions being related to time charter rates, vessels&#146; operating expenses, vessels&#146; capital expenditures, vessels&#146; residual value, fleet utilization,
  and the estimated remaining useful life of each vessel. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are based on historical trends as well as future expectations and taking into consideration growth rates.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We determine undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each vessel and compare it to the vessel&#146;s carrying value. Consistent with prior years and to the extent impairment indicators were present, the projected net operating cash flows are determined by considering the charter revenues
  from existing time charters for the fixed fleet days and an estimated daily time charter rate for the unfixed days (based on the most recent ten year historical average rates, inflated annually by a 4.0% growth rate being the historical and forecasted average world GDP nominal growth rate) over the
  remaining estimated life of the vessel assumed to be 30 years from the delivery of the vessel from the shipyard, expected outflows for vessels&#146; operating expenses assuming an annual inflation rate of 2.93% (in line with the average world Consumer Price Index forecasted), planned dry-docking and special
  survey expenditures, management fees expenditures which are adjusted every year, after December 31, 2012 as provided under the Group Management Agreement, by an inflation rate of 4.0% and fleet utilization of 99.3% (excluding the scheduled off-hire days for planned dry-dockings and special surveys
  which are determined separately ranging from 14 to 25 days depending on size and age of each vessel) based on historical experience. The salvage value used in the impairment test is estimated to be in the range from $150 to $250 per light weight ton in accordance with our vessels&#146; depreciation policy.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Based on our analysis, the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each vessel were in excess compared to each vessel&#146;s carrying value, and accordingly, step two of the impairment analysis was not required and no impairment of vessels existed as of December 31, 2010 and 2011.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">An internal analysis, which used a discounted cash flow model utilizing inputs and assumptions based on market observations as of December 31, 2011, suggests that seven of our 46 vessels in the water may have current market values below their carrying values. However, we believe that, with
  respect to these seven vessels, each of which is currently under time charter, we will recover their carrying values through the end of their useful lives, based on their undiscounted cash flows. We currently do not expect to sell any of these vessels, or otherwise dispose of them, significantly before the end
  of their estimated useful life.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Although we believe that the assumptions used to evaluate potential impairment are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective. There can be no assurance as to how long charter rates and vessel values will remain at their current low levels or whether they will improve by
  any significant degree. Charter rates may remain at depressed levels for some time which could adversely affect our revenue and profitability, and future assessments of vessel impairment.</FONT></P>

The carrying value of each of the Company&#146;s vessels does not necessarily represent its fair market value or the amount that could be obtained if the vessel were sold.

In addition, because vessel values are highly volatile, these estimates may not be indicative of either the current or future prices that the Company could achieve if it were to sell any of the vessels. The Company would not record an impairment for any of the
  vessels for which the fair market value is below its carrying value unless and until the Company either determines to sell the vessel for a loss or determines that the vessel&#146;s carrying amount is not recoverable. The Company believes that the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows over the
  estimated remaining useful lives for those vessels that have experienced declines in estimated market values below their carrying values exceed such vessels&#146; carrying values as of December 31, 2011, and accordingly has not recorded an impairment charge.</FONT></P>

The impairment loss is determined by the difference between the carrying amount of the vessel and the fair value of the

Revenues from time charters providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight line basis as the average revenue over the rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed.

  voyage is deemed to commence upon the completion of discharge of the vessel&#146;s previous cargo and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo, provided an agreed non-cancelable time charter between the Company and the charterer is in existence, the charter rate is fixed or
  determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Unearned revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met, including any unearned revenue resulting from time charters providing for varying annual rates, which are
  accounted for on a straight line basis. Unearned revenue also includes the unamortized balance of the liability associated with the acquisition of secondhand vessels with time charters attached that were acquired at values below fair market value at the date the acquisition agreement is consummated.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">We record identified assets or liabilities associated with the acquisition of a vessel at fair value, determined by reference to market data. The Company values any asset or liability arising from the market value of the time charters assumed when a vessel is acquired from entities that are not under
  common control. This policy does not apply when a vessel is acquired from entities that are under common control. The amount to be recorded as an asset or liability at the date of vessel delivery is based on the difference between the current fair market value of the charter and the net present value of
  future contractual cash flows. When the present value of the contractual cash flows of the time charter assumed is greater than its current fair value, the difference is recorded as accrued prepaid charter revenue. When the opposite situation occurs, any difference, capped to the vessel&#146;s fair value on a
  charter free basis, is recorded as deferred revenue. Such assets and liabilities, respectively, are amortized as a reduction of, or an increase in, revenue over the period of the time charter assumed. In developing estimates of the net present value of contractual cash flows of the time charters assumed, we
  must make assumptions about the discount rate that reflect the risks associated with the assumed time charter and the fair value of the assumed time charter at the time the vessel is acquired. Although management believes that the assumptions used to evaluate present and fair values discussed above will
  be reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective.</FONT></P>

In such circumstances, we will assess the recoverability of amounts outstanding and a provision will be estimated if there
  is a possibility of non-recoverability. Although we may believe that our provisions are based on fair judgment at the time of their creation, it is possible that an amount under dispute will not be recovered and the estimated provision of doubtful accounts would be inadequate.

Interest rate differentials paid or received under these swap agreements are recognized as part of interest expense related to the hedged debt. All derivatives are
  recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair value. On the inception date of the derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow to be paid (&#147;cash flow&#148; hedge). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified,
  designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow and are then reported in earnings. Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective
  portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in earnings in the period in which those fair value changes have occurred. Realized gains or losses on early termination of the derivative instruments are also classified in earnings in the period of termination of the respective derivative instrument.
  We may re-designate an undesignated hedge after its inception as a hedge but then will consider its non-zero value at re-designation in its assessment of effectiveness of the cash flow hedge.</FONT></P>

We consider a hedge to be highly effective if the change in fair value of the derivative
  hedging instrument is within 80% to 125% of the opposite change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, we discontinue hedge accounting

  until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, except in the event of death, resignation or removal. A vacancy on the board created by death, resignation, removal (which may only be for cause), or failure of the stockholders to elect the entire class of directors to be elected at any

  share on February 8, 2012. We intend to continue to pay our stockholders quarterly dividends of $0.27 per share, or $1.08 per share per year. There can be no assurance, however, that we will pay regular quarterly dividends in the future.</FONT></P>

  of directors. Declaration and payment of any dividend is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and the requirements of Marshall Islands law. The timing and amount of dividend payments will be dependent upon our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, fleet renewal
  and expansion, restrictions in our credit facilities, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to stockholders and other factors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay regular quarterly dividends in the amounts stated above or elsewhere in this annual report,
  and dividends may be discontinued at any time at the discretion of our board of directors. Our ability to pay dividends may be limited by the amount of cash we can generate from operations following the payment of fees and expenses and the establishment of any reserves, as well as additional factors
  unrelated to our profitability. We are a holding company, and we depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy our financial obligations and to make dividend payments.</FONT></P>

These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, lessen our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of our board
  of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us. However, these anti-takeover provisions could also delay, defer or prevent (a) the merger or acquisition of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise that a stockholder might

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The Republic of Liberia enacted a new income tax act effective as of January 1, 2001 (the &#147;New Act&#148;). In contrast to the income tax law previously in effect since 1977, the New Act does not distinguish between the taxation of &#147;non-resident&#148; Liberian corporations, such as our Liberian subsidiaries,
  which conduct no business in Liberia and were wholly exempt from taxation under the prior law, and &#147;resident&#148; Liberian corporations, which conduct business in Liberia and are (and were under the prior law) subject to taxation.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The New Act was amended by the Consolidated Tax Amendments Act of 2011, which was published and became effective on November 1, 2011 (the &#147;Amended Act&#148;). The Amended Act specifically exempts from taxation non-resident Liberian corporations such as our Liberian subsidiaries that
  engage in international shipping (and are not engaged in shipping exclusively within Liberia) and that do not engage in other business or activities in Liberia other than those specifically enumerated in the Amended Act. In addition, the Amended Act made such exemption from taxation retroactive to the
  effective date of the New Act.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">If, however, our Liberian subsidiaries were subject to Liberian income tax under the Amended Act, they would be subject to tax at a rate of 35% on their worldwide income. As a result, their, and subsequently our, net income and cash flow would be materially reduced. In addition, as the ultimate
  stockholder of the Liberian subsidiaries, we would be subject to Liberian withholding tax on dividends paid by our Liberian subsidiaries at rates ranging from 15% to 20%.</FONT></P>

Such income inclusions would not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to &#147;qualified dividend income.&#148; Your adjusted tax basis in our common stock would be increased to reflect such taxed but undistributed earnings

Distributions of earnings and profits that had previously been taxed would result in a corresponding reduction in your adjusted tax basis in our common stock and would not be taxed again once distributed. You would generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">In connection with certain of our credit facilities under which we pay a floating base rate of interest, we entered into interest rate swap agreements designed to decrease the fluctuation in our financing cash outflows by taking advantage of the relatively lower interest rate environment in recent years.
  We have recognized these derivative instruments on the balance sheet at their fair value. Pursuant to the adoption of our Risk Management Accounting Policy, and after putting in place the formal documentation required by ASC 815 (formerly SFAS 133) in order to designate these swaps, as of and after
  January 1, 2008, as hedging instruments, 10 of the 11 interest rate swaps to which we were a party as at December 31, 2010 and 27 of the 28 interest rate swaps to which we were a party as at December 31, 2011, qualified for hedge accounting, and, accordingly, since that time, 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 our earnings. Assessment and measurement of prospective and retrospective effectiveness for these interest rate swaps is performed on a quarterly basis, on the financial
  statement and earnings reporting dates. Prior to January 1, 2008, we recognized changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps in current period earnings as these interest rate swap agreements did not qualify as hedging instruments under the requirements in the accounting literature described below
  because we had not adopted a hedging policy. These changes would occur due to changes in market interest rates for debt with substantially similar credit risk, payment profile and terms. We have not held or issued derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.</FONT></P>

A company&#146;s internal
  control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
  necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable

(&#147;Costamare&#148;) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the &#147;Company&#148;). Costamare was formed on April 21, 2008, under the laws of the Republic of Marshall Islands.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Costamare was incorporated as part of a reorganization to acquire the ownership interest in 53 ship-owning companies (the &#147;predecessor companies&#148;) owned by the Konstantakopoulos family (Vasileios Konstantakopoulos and his three sons Messrs. Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos, Achillefs
  Konstantakopoulos and Christos Konstantakopoulos, together the &#147;Family&#148;). The reorganization was completed in November 2008. On November 4, 2010, Costamare completed its initial public offering in the United States under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In this respect,
  13,300,000 common shares at par value US$0.0001 were issued for US$12.00 per share. The net proceeds of the initial public offering were $145,543. At December 31, 2011, members of the Family owned, directly or indirectly, approximately 77.9% of the outstanding common shares, in the aggregate.</FONT></P>

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Costamare and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
  intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Costamare as the holding company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity. Under Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) 810 &#147;Consolidation,&#148; a voting interest entity is an
  entity in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance itself independently and provides the equity holders with the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make financial and operating decisions. Costamare consolidates voting
  interest entities in which it owns all, or at least a majority (generally, greater than 50%) of the voting interest.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">Variable interest entities (&#147;VIE&#148;) are entities as defined under ASC 810-10, that in general either do not have equity investors with voting rights or that have equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A controlling financial interest in a
  VIE is present when a company absorbs a majority of an entity&#146;s expected losses, receives a majority of an entity&#146;s expected residual returns, or both. The company with a controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate the VIE. The Company evaluates all
  arrangements that may include a variable interest in an entity to determine if it may be the primary beneficiary, and would be required to include assets, liabilities and operations </FONT></P>

  financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</FONT></P>

In
  the statement of comprehensive income, the Company presents the change in equity (net assets) during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by shareholders and
  distributions to shareholders. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 220 &#147;Comprehensive Income&#148;, and presents items of net income, items of other comprehensive income (&#147;OCI&#148;) and total comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements. Reclassification adjustments between OCI

The Company&#146;s books of accounts are maintained in U.S. dollars.
  Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in other currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end
  exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.</FONT></P>

Those investments with maturities of less than one year from the balance sheet
  date are considered short-term investments. Investments with maturities greater than one year from the balance sheet date are considered long-term investments. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in the statement of comprehensive income, with realized gains and losses recognized upon sale of the

Subsequent expenditures for
  conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to expense as incurred.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The cost of each of the Company&#146;s vessels is depreciated from the date of acquisition on a straight-line basis over the vessel&#146;s remaining estimated economic useful life, after considering the estimated residual value which is equal to the product of vessels&#146; lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate
  (in the range of $0.150 to $0.250 per light weight ton). Management estimates the useful life of the Company&#146;s vessels to be 30 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Secondhand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life.
  When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B><I>(l) Accrued Charter Revenue/Unearned Revenue: </I></B>The Company records identified assets or liabilities associated with the acquisition of a vessel at fair value, determined by reference to market data. The Company values any asset or liability arising from the market value of the time charters assumed
  when a vessel is acquired from entities that are not under common control. This policy does not apply when a vessel is acquired from entities that are under common control. The amount to be recorded as an asset or liability at the date of vessel delivery is based on the difference between the current
  fair market value of the charter and the net present value of future contractual cash flows. When the present value of the contractual cash flows of the time charter assumed is greater than its current fair value, the difference is recorded as accrued charter revenue. When the opposite situation occurs, any
  difference, capped to the vessel&#146;s fair value on a charter free basis, is recorded as unearned revenue. Such assets and liabilities, respectively, are amortized as a reduction of, or an increase in, revenue over the period of the time charter assumed.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B><I>(m) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: </I></B>The Company uses ASC 360 &#147;Property plant and equipment&#148;, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The standard requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by
  an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the Company concluded that, as conditions in the worldwide shipping industry remain highly volatile, indicators existed which triggered the existence of potential impairment of its long-lived assets. These indicators included deterioration in the spot market, vessels&#146;
  market values and the potential impact the current marketplace may have on its future operations. As a result, the Company performed an impairment assessment of the Company&#146;s long-lived assets by comparing the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each vessel to their respective
  carrying value. The Company&#146;s strategy is mainly to charter its vessels under long term, fixed or variable rate time charters, providing the Company with contracted future cash flows.</FONT></P>

Consistent with prior years and to the extent impairment indicators were present, the projected net operating cash flows are determined by considering the charter
  revenues from existing time charters for the fixed fleet days and an estimated daily time charter rate for the unfixed days (based on the most recent ten year historical average rates, inflated annually by a 4.0% growth rate being the historical and forecasted average world GDP nominal growth rate) over
  the remaining estimated life of the vessel assumed to be 30 years from the delivery of the vessel from the shipyard, expected outflows for vessels&#146; operating expenses assuming an annual inflation rate of 2.93% (in line with the average world Consumer Price Index forecasted), planned drydocking and
  special survey expenditures, management fees expenditures which are adjusted every year, after December 31, 2012 as provided under the Company&#146;s management agreements, by an inflation rate of 4.0% and fleet utilization of 99.3% (excluding the scheduled off-hire days for planned drydockings and
  special surveys which are determined separately ranging from 14 to 25 days depending on size and age of each vessel) based on historical experience. The salvage value used in the impairment test is estimated to be in the range from $0.150 to $0.250 per light weight ton in accordance with our vessels&#146;
  depreciation policy.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">The Company&#146;s assessment concluded that step two of the impairment analysis was not required and no impairment of vessels existed as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, as the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows per vessel exceeded the carrying value of each vessel. No impairment loss
  was recorded in 2009, 2010 or 2011.</FONT></P>

  scheduled to become due. Costs deferred are limited to actual costs incurred at the yard and parts used in the drydocking or special survey. If a survey is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. Unamortized balances of vessels that are sold
  are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the period of the vessel&#146;s sale. Furthermore, unamortized drydocking and special survey balances of vessels that are classified as Assets held for sale and are not recoverable as of the date of such classification are immediately
  written off to the income statement.</FONT></P>

Time charter agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to the terms and conditions of each agreement. Time charter revenues
  over the term of the charter are recorded as service is provided, when they become fixed and determinable. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight line basis as the average revenue over the rental
  periods of such agreements, as service is performed. A voyage is deemed to commence upon the completion of discharge of the vessel&#146;s previous cargo and the sea passage for the next fixed cargo and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo, provided an agreed non-
  cancelable charter agreement between the Company and the charterer is in existence, the charter rate is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Unearned revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met,
  including any unearned revenue resulting from charter agreements providing for varying annual rates, which are accounted for on a straight line basis. Unearned revenue also includes the unamortized balance of the liability associated with the acquisition of second-hand vessels with time charters attached
  which were acquired at values below fair market value at the date the acquisition agreement is consummated, as well as revenue recognized based on the average hire rate as derived from the entire duration of the charter party, rather than being recognized on the per year hire rates provided in the

Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income until earnings are affected

Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in earnings in the period in which those fair value changes have
  occurred. Realized gains or losses on early termination of the derivative instruments are also classified in earnings in the period of termination of the respective derivative instrument.

This standard creates a hierarchy of measurement and indicates that, when possible, fair
  value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority (Level 3) to unobservable data, for example,
  the reporting entity&#146;s own data. Under the standard, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company does not use discrete financial information to evaluate the operating results for
  each such type of charter. Although revenue can be identified for these types of charters, management cannot and does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial information for these charters. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results
  solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus the Company has determined that it operates under one reportable segment.</FONT></P>

The ASU is the result of joint efforts by
  the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. While the ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands ASC 820&#146;s existing
  disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. Many of these amendments are being made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. However, some could change how the fair value measurement guidance in ASC 820 is applied.
  The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Earlier application is not permitted. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial

  The Facility is comprised of (a) a revolving credit facility of an amount of up to $300,000 and (b) a term loan facility of an amount of up to $700,000. The Facility bears interest at the 3, 6, 9 or 12 months (at the Company&#146;s option) LIBOR plus margin. Upon the sale of MSC Antwerp in May 2009, the
  Company repaid $10,655 of the Facility. On April 4, 2011, the Company, following the sale of vessel MSC Namibia, repaid $6,610 of the Facility. Furthermore, on April 11, 2011, the Company drew down the amount of $80,853 under the Facility, which equaled the undrawn balance of the Facility as of

  consolidated statements of income.</FONT></P>

Applicable Tax is 50% of 4% of United States related gross transportation income unless an exemption applies.
  Management believes that based on current legislation the relevant vessel owning companies are entitled to an exemption as they satisfy the relevant requirements because (i) the related vessel owning companies are incorporated in a jurisdiction granting an equivalent exemption to US corporations and
  (ii) over 50% of the ultimate shareholders of the vessel owning companies are residents of a country granting an equivalent exemption to US persons.</FONT></P>

<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; "><B><I>(a) Interest rate swaps that meet the criteria for hedge accounting:</I></B> The Company, according to its long-term strategic plan to maintain stability in its interest rate exposure, has decided to minimize exposure to floating interest rates by entering into interest rate swap agreements. To this effect, the
  Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions with varying start and maturity dates, in order to proactively and efficiently manage its floating rate exposure.</FONT></P>
<P style="text-indent:7mm; margin:2.1mm 0 0; "><FONT style="font-family:serif; font-size:3.8mm; ">These interest rate swaps are designed to hedge the variability of interest cash flows arising from floating rate debt, attributable to movements in three-month or six-month USD LIBOR. According to the Company&#146;s Risk Management Accounting Policy, after putting in place the formal
  documentation required by ASC 815 in order to designate these swaps as hedging instruments, as from their inception, these interest rate swaps qualified for hedge accounting. Accordingly, since that time, 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&#146;s earnings. Assessment and measurement of prospective and retrospective effectiveness for these interest rate swaps are being performed on a quarterly basis. 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 stockholders&#146; equity and recognized to the 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 Statement of Income
  immediately.</FONT></P>

The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, primarily with high credit rated financial institutions. The Company performs
  periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company&#146;s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers&#146; financial condition and generally does not
  require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk. The Company limits the exposure of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings, and performing periodic evaluations of the
  relative credit standing of the counterparties.</FONT></P>

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 investments discussed in Note 4, determined through Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, equates to the amounts that would be received by the Company in the event of sale of these investments. The fair
  value of the interest rate swap agreements discussed in Note 15 above are determined through Level 2 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.</FONT></P>

(which consent shall not unreasonably withheld and the request for which shall
be promptly responded to), any Bank (the &#147;<B>Transferor Bank</B>&#148;) may at
any time, cause all or any part of its rights, benefits and/or obligations

effective in relation to, the Borrowers or the Agent or the other Creditors
unless (i) it is effected or evidenced by a Transfer Certificate which
complies with the provisions of this clause 15.3 and is signed by or on
behalf of the Transferor Bank, the Transferee Bank and the Agent (on behalf
of itself, the Borrowers and the other Creditors) and (ii) such transfer of

the satisfaction of the Agent. The Borrowers&#146; consent referred to above shall
not be required in respect of a transfer if (1) the relevant Transferee Bank
is a Related Company of the Transferor Bank and provided that the Borrowers
would not pay additional amounts under clause 6.6 or clause 12.2 compared to
the amounts payable by the Borrowers under such clauses immediately before
such transfer or (2) an Event of Default has occurred which is continuing at
the time of the relevant transfer. Upon signature of any such Transfer
Certificate by the Agent, which signature shall be effected as promptly as is
practicable after such Transfer Certificate has been delivered to the Agent,
and subject to the terms of such Transfer Certificate, such Transfer

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2 FACE=ARIAL>The Borrowers jointly and severally agree, for the benefit of each
Creditor, that any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement (including any non-contractual obligations
connected with this Agreement) against the Borrowers or any of them or any of
their assets may be brought in the English courts. Each of the Borrowers
irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts
and irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers Mr Richard Coleman c/o H.
Clarkson and Co. Ltd. at present of 3 Lower Thames Street, London EC3R 6HE,
England to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process issued out
of the courts of England in any such legal action or proceedings and, in the
event that such individual passes away or cannot be found, each of the
Borrowers hereby undertakes (and each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally authorises the Agent (for and on behalf of each Creditor) to
do so) to designate, appoint and empower on its behalf, Messrs Saville &amp;
Co. at their then principal place of business in London as substitute process
agents of Mr Richard Coleman for the purposes of this clause. The submission
to such jurisdiction shall not (and shall not be construed so as to) limit
the right of a Creditor to take proceedings against the Borrowers or any of
them in the courts of any other competent jurisdiction nor shall the taking
of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of
proceedings in any other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not. </FONT></P>
