2004, the estimated scrap value of the vessels was increased from $170 to $300
per light ton to better reflect market price developments in the scrap metal
market. The effect of this change in estimate was to reduce 2004 depreciation
expense by $1,400,010 and increase 2004 net income by the same amount. In
addition, in 2004, the estimated useful life of the vessel m/v <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">Ariel</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">&#160;</font>was extended from 28
years to 30 years since the vessel performed drydocking and it was not expected
to be sold until year - 2007 (m/v <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">Ariel</font> was sold in February
2007. The m/v <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">Widar</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">&#160;</font>was sold in April 2004.

amount reflects a dividend in the amount of $30,175,223 ($2.99 per share) and a
return of capital in the amount of $16,700,000 ($1.68 per share). The total
payment to shareholders made in 2005 is in excess of previously retained
earnings because the Company decided to distribute to its original shareholders
in advance of going public most of the profits relating to the Company&#8217;s
operations up to that time and to recapitalize the Company. This one-time
dividend cannot be considered indicative of future dividend payments and the
Company refers you to the other sections in this annual report for a clearer
understanding of the Company&#8217;s dividend policy.</font></div>

charter equivalent rate, or, &#8220;TCE rate&#8221;, is determined by dividing voyage
revenues less voyage expenses or time charter equivalent revenue or &#8220;TCE
revenues&#8221; by the number of voyage days during the relevant time period. TCE
revenues, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in
conjunction with shipping revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure,
because it assists Company management in making decisions regarding the
deployment and use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance.
TCE revenues and TCE rate is also a standard shipping industry performance
measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping
company&#8217;s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot
charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be
employed between the periods.&#160;&#160;&#160;(see also Item 5A-Operating

independent shipping company that operates in the drybulk and container shipping
industry. Our profitability is dependent upon the freight rates we are able to
charge. The supply of and demand for shipping capacity strongly influences
freight rates. The demand for shipping capacity is determined primarily by the
demand for the type of commodities carried and the distance that those
commodities must be moved by sea. The demand for commodities is affected by,
among other things, world and regional economic and political conditions
(including developments in international trade, fluctuations in industrial and
agricultural production and armed conflicts), environmental concerns, weather
patterns, and changes in seaborne and other transportation costs. The size of
the existing fleet in a particular market, the number of new vessel deliveries,
the scrapping of older vessels and the number of vessels out of active service
(i.e., laid-up, drydocked, awaiting repairs or otherwise not available for
hire), determines the supply of shipping capacity, which is measured by the
amount of suitable tonnage available to carry cargo. The cyclical nature of the
shipping industry may lead to volatile changes in freight rates which may reduce
our revenues and net income.</font></div>

vessels grow older, they generally decline in value. Due to the cyclical nature

addition, we periodically re-evaluate the carrying amount and period over which
long-lived assets are depreciated to determine if events have occurred which
would require modification to their carrying values or their useful lives. A
determination that a vessel&#8217;s estimated remaining useful life or fair value has
declined below its carrying amount could result in an impairment charge against
our earnings and a reduction in our shareholders&#8217; equity. Any change in the
assessed market value of any of our vessels might also cause a violation of the
covenants of each secured credit agreement which in turn might restrict our cash
and affect our liquidity. All of our credit agreements provide for a minimum
security maintenance ratio. If the assessed market value of our vessels declines
below certain thresholds, we will be deemed to have violated these covenants and
may incur penalties for breach of our credit agreements. For example, these
penalties could require us to prepay the shortfall between the assessed market
value of our vessels and the value of such vessels required to be maintained
pursuant to the secured credit agreement, or to provide additional security
acceptable to the lenders in an amount at least equal to the amount of any
shortfall. Further, we may agree on future loans to may include various other
covenants, in addition to the vessel-related ones, that may ultimately depend on
the assessed values of our <font size="+0">vessels</font>. Such covenants could
include, but are not limited to, maximum fleet leverage covenants and minimum
fair net worth covenants.</font></div>

anticipate that the future demand for our drybulk, container and multipurpose
vessels and the charter rates of the corresponding markets will be dependent
upon continued economic growth in China, India and the overall world economy,
seasonal and regional changes in demand, and changes to the capacity of the
world fleet. The capacity of the world fleet seems likely to increase and
economic growth may not continue. Adverse economic, political, social or other
developments could also have a material adverse effect on our business and
results of operations. If the number of new ships delivered exceeds the number
of vessels being scrapped and lost, vessel capacity will increase. For instance,
given that as of April 1, 2008 the capacity of the fully cellular worldwide
container vessel fleet was approximately 11.1 million teu, with approximately
6.4 million teu of additional capacity on order, the growing supply of container
vessels may exceed future demand, particularly in the short term. If the supply
of vessel capacity increases but the demand for vessel capacity does not
increase correspondingly, charter rates and vessel values could materially
decline.</font></div>

Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, in such respects
as structure, government involvement, level of development, growth rate, capital
reinvestment, allocation of resources, rate of inflation and balance of payments
position. Prior to 1978, the Chinese economy was a planned economy. Since 1978,
increasing emphasis has been placed on the utilization of market forces in the
development of the Chinese economy. Annual and five year State Plans are adopted
by the Chinese government in connection with the development of the economy.
Although state-owned enterprises still account for a substantial portion of the
Chinese industrial output, in general, the Chinese government is reducing the
level of direct control that it exercises over the economy through State Plans
and other measures. There is an increasing level of freedom and autonomy in
areas such as allocation of resources, production, pricing and management and a
gradual shift in emphasis to a &#8220;market economy&#8221; and enterprise reform. Limited
price reforms were undertaken, with the result that prices for certain
commodities are principally determined by market forces. Many of the reforms are
unprecedented or experimental and may be subject to revision, change or
abolition based upon the outcome of such experiments. The Chinese government may
not continue to pursue a policy of economic reform. The level of imports to and
exports from China could be adversely affected by the nature of the economic
reforms pursued by the Chinese government, as well as by changes in political,
economic and social conditions or other relevant policies of the Chinese
government, such as changes in laws, regulations or export and import
restrictions, all of which could, adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.</font></div>

short-term markets or that future spot rates will be sufficient to enable our

the United States of America is not a party, many countries have ratified and

Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969, as amended (the

Oil Pollution of 1971, as amended and the Regulations for the Prevention of Air
Pollution from Ships to the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships (as modified in 1978 and 1997), including Annex VI thereto.
Under these conventions, a vessel&#8217;s registered owner is strictly liable for
pollution damage, including air pollution, caused on the territorial waters of a
contracting state by discharge of persistent oil, subject to certain complete
defenses. Many of the countries that have ratified the CLC have increased the
liability limits through a 1992 Protocol to the CLC. The right to limit
liability is also forfeited under the CLC where the spill is caused by the
owner&#8217;s actual fault or privity and, under the 1992 Protocol, where the spill is
caused by the owner&#8217;s intentional or reckless conduct. Vessels trading to
contracting states must provide evidence of insurance covering the limited
liability of the owner. In jurisdictions where the CLC has not been adopted,
various legislative schemes or common law govern, and liability is imposed
either on the basis of fault or in a manner similar to the CLC.</font></div>

trade in the United States of America or any of its territories and possessions
or whose vessels operate in waters of the United States of America, which
includes the territorial sea of the United States of America and its 200
nautical mile exclusive economic zone. OPA allows for potentially unlimited
liability without regard to fault of vessel owners, operators and bareboat
charterers for all containment and clean-up costs and other damages arising from
discharges or threatened discharges of oil from their vessels, including bunkers
(fuel), in the U.S. waters. OPA also expressly permits individual states to
impose their own liability regimes with regard to hazardous materials and oil

flow from operations to pay the principal and interest on our debt. These
payments limit funds otherwise available for working capital expenditures and
other purposes. As of December 31, 2007, we had total bank debt of approximately
$81.6 million. As of March 31, 2008, we had repaid $5.9 million of our total
bank debt, leaving us with total bank debt of $75.7 million. Our debt repayment
schedule as of December 31, 2007 requires us to repay $38.0 million over the
next two years. If we were unable to service our debt, it could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.</font></div>

operation of certain ship types, such as drybulk carriers, has certain unique
risks. With a drybulk carrier, the cargo itself and its interaction with the
ship can be a risk factor. By their nature, drybulk cargoes are often heavy,
dense, easily shifted, and react badly to water exposure. In addition, drybulk
carriers are often subjected to battering treatment during unloading operations
with grabs, jackhammers (to pry encrusted cargoes out of the hold), and small
bulldozers. This treatment may cause damage to the vessel. Vessels damaged due
to treatment during unloading procedures may be more susceptible to breach to
the sea. Hull breaches in drybulk carriers may lead to the flooding of the
vessels holds. If a drybulk carrier suffers flooding in its forward holds, the
bulk cargo may become so dense and waterlogged that its pressure may buckle the
vessels bulkheads leading to the loss of a vessel. If we are unable to
adequately maintain our vessels we may be unable to prevent these events. Any of
these circumstances or events could negatively impact our business, financial
condition, results of operations and ability to pay dividends. In addition, the
loss of any of our vessels could harm our reputation as a safe and reliable
vessel owner and operator.</font></div>

be lost overboard if an accident does occur. Furthermore, with the highly varied
cargo that can be carried on a single containership, there can be additional
difficulties with any clean-up operation following an accident. Also, we may not
be able to correctly control the contents and condition of cargoes within the

our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and by the Marshall Islands Business
Corporations Act (the &#8220;BCA&#8221;). The provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of
the corporation laws of a number of states in the United States. However, there
have been few judicial cases in the Republic of the Marshall Islands
interpreting the BCA. The rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors
under the law of the Republic of the Marshall Islands are not as clearly
established as the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under
statutes or judicial precedent in existence in certain U.S. jurisdictions.
Stockholder rights may differ as well. For example, under Marshall Islands law,
a copy of the notice of any meeting of the shareholders must be given not less
than 15 days before the meeting, whereas in Delaware such notice must be given
not less than 10 days before the meeting. Therefore, if immediate shareholder
action is required, a meeting may not be able to be convened as quickly as it
can be convened under Delaware law. Also, under Marshall Islands law, any action
required to be taken by a meeting of shareholders may only be taken without a
meeting if consent is in writing and is signed by all of the shareholders
entitled to vote, whereas under Delaware law action may be taken by consent if
approved by the number of shareholders that would be required to approve such
action at a meeting. Therefore, under Marshall Islands law, it may be more
difficult for a company to take certain actions without a meeting even if a
majority of the shareholders approve of such action. 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, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their
interests in the face of actions by the management, directors or controlling
shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S.
jurisdiction.</font></div>

Euroseas Ltd., a Marshall Islands company incorporated in May 2005. We are a
provider of worldwide ocean-going transportation services. We own and operate
drybulk carriers that transport major bulks such as iron ore, coal and grains,
and minor bulks such as bauxite, phosphate and fertilizers. We also own and
operate containerships and multipurpose vessels that transport dry and
refrigerated containerized cargoes, mainly including manufactured products and
perishables. As of April 30, 2008, our fleet consisted of five drybulk carriers,
comprised of three Panamax drybulk carriers and two Handysize drybulk carriers,
nine containerships and one multipurpose vessel. The total cargo carrying
capacity of the four bulk carriers is 277,316 deadweight tons, or dwt, and of
the nine containerships is 239,010 dwt and 15,321 twenty-foot equivalent units,
or teu.&#160;&#160;Our multipurpose vessel can carry 22,568 dwt and/or 950 teu.
Four of our vessels were acquired before January 1, 2004 and were controlled by
the Pittas family interests. On June 29, 2005, the shareholders of the four
vessels (and of three additional vessels that have since been sold) transferred
their shares in each of the vessels to Euroseas in exchange for shares in
Friends, a 100% owner of Euroseas at that time.&#160;&#160;We have purchased
eleven additional vessels since June 2005.</font></div>

      operating expenses, management fees, general and administrative expenses,
      interest expense and drydocking costs for the upcoming 12-month period. We

      protection, while allowing us to participate in the potential upside of
      the spot market during periods of rising charter rates. On the basis of
      our fixed spot and existing period contracts, approximately 80% of our

      drybulk fleet profile will allow us to better serve our customers in both
      major and minor bulk trades, as well as to reduce any dependency on any
      one cargo, trade route or customer. We will remain focused on the smaller
      size ship segment of the container market, which has not experienced the
      same level of expansion in vessel supply that has occurred with larger
      containerships. A diversified fleet, in addition to enhancing the
      stability of our cash flows, will also help us to reduce our exposure to
      unfavorable developments in any one shipping sector and to benefit from
      upswings in any one shipping sector experiencing rising charter
      rates.</font></div>

      more than 46% of our then outstanding debt by the end of 2009. We expect

dwt. Vessels over 80,000 dwt are called Capesize vessels.</font></div>

chartered either through a voyage charter or a time charter, under a longer term
contract of affreightment or in pools. Under a voyage charter, the owner agrees
to provide a vessel for the transport of cargo between specific ports in return
for the payment of an agreed freight rate per ton of cargo or an agreed dollar
lump sum amount. Voyage costs, such as canal and port charges and bunker
expenses, are the responsibility of the owner. Under a time charter, the ship
owner places the vessel at the disposal of a charterer for a given period of
time in return for a specified rate (either hire per day or a specified rate per
dwt capacity per month) with the voyage costs being the responsibility of the
charterer. In both voyage charters and time charters, operating costs (such as
repairs and maintenance, crew wages and insurance premiums), as well as
drydockings and special surveys, are the responsibility of the ship owner. The
duration of time charters varies, depending on the evaluation of market trends
by the ship owner and by charterers. Occasionally, drybulk vessels are chartered
on a bareboat basis. Under a bareboat charter, operations of the vessels and all
operating costs are the responsibility of the charterer, while the owner only
pays the financing costs of the vessel.</font></div>

relationship where a charterer and a ship owner enter into a written agreement
pursuant to which identified cargo will be carried over a specified period of
time. COA&#8217;s benefit charterers by providing them with fixed transport costs for
a commodity over an identified period of </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">time.
COA&#8217;s benefit ship owners by offering ascertainable revenue over that same
period of time and eliminating the uncertainty that would otherwise be caused by
the volatility of the charter market. A shipping pool is a collection of similar
vessel types under various ownerships, placed under the care of a single
commercial manager. The manager markets the vessels as a single fleet and
collects the earnings which are distributed to individual owners under a
pre-arranged weighing system by which each entered vessel receives its share.
Pools have the size and scope to combine voyage charters, time charters and
contracts of affreightment with freight forward agreements for hedging purposes,
to perform more efficient vessel scheduling thereby increasing fleet
utilization.</font></div>

transport of containerized trade which encompasses mainly the carriage of
finished goods, but an increasing number of other cargoes in container boxes.
Containerized trade is the fastest growing sector of seaborne trade.
Containerships are further categorized by their size measured in twenty-foot
equivalent units (teu) and whether they have their own gearing. The different
categories of containerships are as follows. Post-panamax vessels are vessels
with carrying capacity of more than 4,000 teu. Panamax vessels are vessels with
carrying capacity from 3,000 to 4,000 teu. Intermediate containerships are
vessels with carrying capacity from 2,000 to 3,000 teu. Handysize containerships
are vessels with carrying capacity from 1,300 to 2,000 teu and are sometimes
equipped with cargo loading and unloading gear. Finally, Feeder containerships
are vessels with carrying capacity from 500 to 1,300 teu and are usually
equipped with cargo loading and unloading gear. Containerships are primarily
employed in time charter contracts with liner companies, which in turn employ
them as part of the scheduled liner operations. Feeder containership are put in
liner schedules feeding containers to and from central regional ports (hubs)
where larger containerships provide cross ocean or longer haul service. The
length of the time charter contract can range from several months to
years.</font></div>

operate in markets that are highly competitive and based primarily on supply and
demand. We compete for charters on the basis of price, vessel location, size,
age and condition of the vessel, as well as on our reputation. Eurobulk arranges
our charters (whether spot charters, time charters or shipping pools) through
the use of Eurochart, an affiliated brokering company who negotiates the terms
of the charters based on market conditions. We compete primarily with other
shipowners of drybulk carriers in the Handysize, Handymax and Panamax drybulk
carrier sectors and the containership sector. Ownership of drybulk carriers and
containerships is highly fragmented and is divided among state controlled and
independent shipowners. Some of our publicly listed competitors include Diana
Shipping Inc. (NYSE: DSX), DryShips Inc. (NASDAQ: DRYS), Excel Maritime Carriers
Ltd. (NYSE: EXM), Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ: EGLE), Genco Shipping and

the major bulks of the drybulk shipping industry, are somewhat seasonal in
nature. The energy markets primarily affect the demand for coal, with increases
during hot summer periods when air conditioning and refrigeration require more
electricity and towards the end of the calendar year in anticipation of the
forthcoming winter period. The demand for iron ore tends to decline in the
summer months because many of the major steel users, such as automobile makers,
reduce their level of production significantly during the summer holidays.
Grains are completely seasonal as they are driven by the harvest within a
climate zone. Because three of the five largest grain producers (the United
States of America, Canada and the European Union) are located in the northern
hemisphere and the other two (Argentina and Australia) are located in the
southern hemisphere, harvests occur throughout the year and grains require
drybulk shipping accordingly.</font></div>

trends are driven by the import patterns of manufactured goods and refrigerated
cargoes by the major importers, such as the United States, Europe, Japan and
others. The volume of containerized trade is usually higher in the fall in
preparation for the holiday season. During this period of time, container
shipping rates are higher and, as a result, the charter rates for containerships
are higher. However, fluctuations due to seasonality in the container shipping
industry are much less pronounced than in the drybulk shipping
industry.</font></div>

National Invasive Species Act, or NISA, was enacted in 1996 in response to
growing reports of harmful organisms being released into U.S. ports through
ballast water taken on by ships in foreign ports. Under NISA, the U.S. Coast
Guard adopted regulations in July 2004 imposing 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 ship, or by using
environmentally sound alternative ballast water management methods approved by
the U.S. Coast Guard. (However, mid-ocean </font>ballast exchange is mandatory
for ships heading to the Great Lakes or Hudson Bay, or vessels engaged in the
foreign export of Alaskan North Slope crude oil.) Mid-ocean ballast exchange is
the primary method for compliance with the Coast Guard regulations, since
holding ballast water can prevent ships 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 the Hudson River), provided that they
comply with recordkeeping requirements and document the reasons they could not
follow the required ballast water management requirements. The Coast Guard is
developing a proposal to establish ballast water discharge standards, which
could set maximum acceptable discharge limits for various invasive species,
and/or lead to requirements for active treatment of ballast water.</font></div>

terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, there have been a variety of
initiatives intended to enhance vessel security. On November 25, 2002, the
Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (&#8220;MTSA&#8221;), came into effect. To
implement certain portions of the MTSA, in July 2003, the U.S. Coast Guard
issued regulations requiring the implementation of certain security requirements
aboard vessels operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States of America. Similarly, in December 2002, amendments to the International
Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (&#8220;SOLAS&#8221;) created a new chapter of the
convention dealing specifically with maritime security. The new chapter went
into effect in July 2004, and imposes various detailed security obligations on
vessels and port authorities, most of which are contained in the newly created
ISPS Code. Among the various requirements are:</font></div>

operation of any cargo vessel includes risks such as mechanical failure,
physical damage, collision, 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
marine disaster, including oil spills and other environmental mishaps, and the
liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade.
OPA, which imposes virtually unlimited liability upon shipowners, operators and
bareboat charterers of any vessel trading in the exclusive economic zone of the
United States of America for certain oil pollution accidents in the United
States of America, has made liability insurance more expensive for shipowners
and operators trading in the United States of America market. While we believe
that our present insurance coverage is adequate, not all risks can be insured,
and there can be no guarantee that any specific claim will be paid, or that we
will always be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable
rates.</font></div>

Marshall Islands company incorporated in May 2005. We are a provider of
worldwide ocean-going transportation services. We own and operate drybulk
carriers that transport major bulks such as iron ore, coal and grains, and minor
bulks such as bauxite, phosphate and fertilizers. We also own and operate
containerships and multipurpose vessels that transport dry and refrigerated
containerized cargoes, mainly including manufactured products and perishables.
As of April 30, 2008, our fleet consisted of five drybulk carriers, comprised of
three Panamax drybulk carriers and two Handysize drybulk carriers, nine
containerships and one multipurpose vessel. The total cargo carrying capacity of
the four bulk carriers is 277,316 deadweight tons, or dwt, and of the nine
containerships is 239,010 dwt and 15,321 twenty-foot equivalent units, or
teu.&#160;&#160;Our multipurpose vessel can carry 22,568 dwt and/or 950
teu.</font></div>

actively manage the deployment of our fleet between spot market voyage charters,
which generally last from several days to several weeks, and time charters,
which can last up to several years.&#160;&#160;Some of our vessels may
participate in shipping pools, or, in some cases participate in contracts of
affreightment (please refer to the section &#8220;The Dry Cargo and Containership
Industries&#8221; under Item 4B for a description of the above mentioned types of
vessel employment).&#160;&#160;As of April 30, 2008, one of our vessels

operating on time charters provide more predictable cash flows but can yield
lower profit margins than vessels operating in the spot market during periods
characterized by favorable market conditions. Vessels operating in the spot
market generate revenues that are less predictable but may enable us to achieve
increased profit margins during periods of high vessel rates although we are
exposed to the risk of declining vessel rates, which may have a materially
adverse impact on our financial performance.&#160;&#160;Vessels operating in
pools benefit from better scheduling, and thus increased utilization, and better
access to contracts of affreightment due to the larger commercial operation. We
are constantly evaluating opportunities to increase the number of our vessels
deployed on time charters or to participate in shipping pools (if available for
our vessels), however we only expect to enter into additional time charters or
shipping pools if we can obtain contract terms that satisfy our
criteria.&#160;&#160;Containerships are employed almost exclusively on time
charter contracts.&#160;&#160;We carefully evaluate the length and the rate of
the time charter contract at the time of fixing or renewing a contract
considering market conditions, trends and expectations.</font></div>

approximately every 30 to 60 months for major repairs and maintenance that
cannot be performed while the vessels are trading. We capitalize the costs
associated with drydockings as they occur and amortize these costs on a
straight-line basis over the period between drydockings. Costs capitalized as
part of the drydocking include actual costs incurred at the drydock yard; cost
of travel, lodging and subsistence of our personnel sent to the drydocking site
to supervise; and the cost of hiring a third party to oversee a drydocking. We
believe that these criteria are consistent with industry practice and that our
policy of capitalization reflects the economics and market values of the
vessels. Commencing January 1, 2006, we revised our policy to exclude the cost
of hiring riding crews and the cost of parts used by riding crews from amounts
capitalized as drydocking cost. We have not restated any historical financial
statements because we determined that the impact of such a revision is not
material to our operating income and net income for any periods
presented.</font></div>

revenues for the period were $86.10 million, up 104.3% compared to the same
period in 2006 during which voyage revenues amounted to $42.14 million. This
increase was primarily due to the significantly higher charter rates our vessels
achieved in 2007 as compared to 2006, especially in the drybulk market, and to
the larger fleet we operated. In 2007, we operated an average of 11.48 vessels,
a 41.9% increase over the average of 8.09 vessels we operated during 2006. Our
fleet of 11.48 vessels had throughout the period 11 unscheduled off-hire days
and 210 days of scheduled off-hire for the drydocking of seven vessels,
generating an average TCE rate per vessel of&#160;&#160;$21,468 per day compared
to $14,313 per day per vessel for the same period in 2006.&#160;&#160;The
average TCE rate our vessels achieve is a combination of the time charter rate
earned by our vessels under time charter contracts, which is not influenced by
market developments, and the TCE rate earned by our vessels employed in the spot
market which is influenced by market developments.&#160;&#160;Shipping markets
in 2007 were on average stronger compared to 2006, especially in the second half
of 2007 when the drybulk market reached all time high levels. The higher average

Vessel operating expenses were $17.24 million for the period compared to $10.37
million for the same period in 2006.&#160;&#160;This difference was due to the
higher average number of vessels we operated in 2007, specifically an average of
11.48 vessels in 2007 compared to 8.09 vessels in 2006. Daily vessel operating
expenses per vessel increased between the two periods to $4,115 per day in 2007
compared to $3,524 per day in 2006, a 16.8% increase, reflecting primarily
higher crew and lubricant costs and higher exchange rate of the euro and other
currencies with respect to the U.S. dollar.</font></div>

the value of our vessels at their cost (which includes acquisition costs
directly attributable to the vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel
for its initial voyage) less accumulated depreciation. We depreciate our vessels
on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, estimated to range
from 25 to 30 years from date of initial delivery from the shipyard. We believe
that the 25 to 30 year range of depreciable life is consistent with that of
other ship owners. As of December 31, 2006, one of our vessels had already
reached an age of 29 years and continued to be employed (this vessel, m/v <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">Ariel</font>, was sold for further
trading in February 2007). Depreciation is based on cost less the estimated
residual scrap value. In 2004, the estimated scrap value of the vessels was
increased from $170 to $300 per LWT to better reflect market price developments
in the scrap metal market (see Item 3A Selected Consolidated Financial Data). An
increase in the useful life of the vessel or in the residual value would have
the effect of decreasing the annual depreciation charge and extending it into
later periods. A decrease in the useful life of the vessel or in the residual
value would have the effect of increasing the annual depreciation
charge.</font></div>

results of operations depend primarily on the charter hire rates that we are

demand for drybulk carrier, containership and multipurpose vessel capacity is
determined by the underlying demand for commodities transported in these
vessels, which in turn is influenced by trends in the global economy. One of the
main reasons for the resurgence in drybulk and containerized trade has been the
growth in imports by China of iron ore, coal and steel products during the last
five years and exports of finished goods. Demand for drybulk carrier and
containership capacity is also affected by the operating efficiency of the
global fleet, with port congestion, which has been a feature of the market in
2004, the first half of 2005 and again in late 2006 and 2007, absorbing
additional tonnage especially in the drybulk market.</font></div>

supply of drybulk carriers, containerships and multipurpose vessels is dependent
on the delivery of new vessels and the removal of vessels from the global fleet,
either through scrapping or loss.&#160;&#160;As of April 1, 2008, the global
drybulk carrier orderbook amounted to approximately 236.1 million dwt, or about
59.5% of the existing fleet, with more than half of the vessels on the orderbook
expected to be delivered within 30 months.&#160;&#160;Containership orderbook
(including multipurpose vessels) amounted to approximately 6.8 million teu, or
about 55.5% of the existing fleet with most vessels, again, expected to be
delivered within 30 months.&#160;&#160;The level of scrapping activity is
generally a function of scrapping prices in relation to current and prospective
charter market conditions, as well as operating, repair and survey costs. The
average age at which a vessel is scrapped over the last ten years has been
between 26 and 27 years, with smaller vessels scrapped at later age. However,
due to recent strength in the drybulk and container shipping industry, the
average age at which the vessels are scrapped has increased; during 2004, 2005,
2006 and 2007,&#160;&#160;the majority of the handysize and handymax bulkers and
feedership, handysize and intermediate size containerships that were scrapped
were in excess of 30 years of age.&#160;&#160;Panamax drybulk carriers were
scrapped at an average age of 29 years over 2004, 2005, 2006 and
2007.</font></div>

policy is to declare regular quarterly dividends to shareholders from our net

Directors may from time to time determine are appropriate. Our intention is to
pay a minimum quarterly dividend of $0.30 per common share for 2008. The exact

condition, cash requirement and availability, restrictions in its loan
agreements, growth strategy, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting
the payment of distributions to shareholders and other factors, such as the
acquisition of additional vessels. However, we do not believe that the
acquisition of vessels to our fleet will impact our dividend policy of paying
quarterly dividends to our shareholders out of our net profits. We believe that
the addition of vessels to our fleet in the future should enable us to pay a
higher dividend per share than we would otherwise be able to pay without
additional vessels since such additional vessels should increase our earnings.
However, we cannot give any current estimate of what dividends may be in the
future since any such dividend amounts will depend upon the amount of revenues
those vessels are able to generate and the costs incurred in operating such
vessels.</font></div>

payment of dividends is not guaranteed or assured, and may be discontinued at
any time at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Because we are a holding
company with no material assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries, our
ability to pay dividends will depend on the earnings and cash flow of its
subsidiaries and their ability to pay dividends to us. If there is a substantial
decline in the drybulk, containership or multipurpose charter market, our
earnings would be negatively affected, thus limiting its ability to pay
dividends. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends
other than from surplus or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered
insolvent upon the payment of such dividends. Dividends may be declared in
conformity with applicable law by, and at the discretion of, our Board of
Directors at any regular or special meeting. Dividends may be declared and paid
in cash, stock or other property of Euroseas.</font></div>

our current operations and future projections, we do not believe that we are,
nor do we expect to become, a passive foreign investment company with respect to
any taxable year. Although there is no legal authority directly on point, and we
are not relying upon an opinion of counsel on this issue, our belief is based
principally on the position that, for purposes of determining whether we are a
passive foreign investment company, the gross income we derive or are deemed to
derive from the time chartering and voyage chartering activities of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries should constitute services income, rather than rental
income. Correspondingly, such income should not constitute passive income, and
the assets that we or our wholly-owned subsidiaries own and operate in
connection with the production of such income, in particular, the vessels,
should not constitute passive assets for purposes of determining whether we are
a passive foreign investment company. We believe there is substantial legal
authority supporting our position consisting of case law and Internal Revenue
Service pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from
time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax purposes.
However, in the absence of any legal authority specifically relating to the
statutory provisions governing passive foreign investment companies, the
Internal Revenue Service or a court could disagree with our position. In
addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner to avoid being
classified as a passive foreign investment company with respect to any taxable
year, we cannot assure you that the nature of our operations will not change in
the future.</font></div>

international drybulk industry is a capital intensive industry, requiring
significant amounts of investment. Much of this investment is financed by long
term debt. Our debt usually contains interest rates that fluctuate with LIBOR.

as interest rate swaps to manage the impact of interest rate changes on earnings
and cash flows and increasing interest rates could adversely impact future
earnings.</font></div>

extent of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, an increase of 100 basis

disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007. The term disclosure
controls and procedures are defined under SEC rules as controls and other
procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Commission&#8217;s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the
issuer&#8217;s management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations
to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures,
including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of
the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and
procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control
objectives.</font></div>

internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other

reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the

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 assurance regarding prevention or timely

management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over
financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control
system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the control system&#8217;s objectives will be met. Our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance
of achieving their objectives. The design of a control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations
in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple
error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of
some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of
the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to
future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance
with policies or procedures.</font></div>

Ltd. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) was formed on May 5, 2005 under the laws of the Republic of
the Marshall Islands to consolidate the beneficial owners of the ship owning
companies in existence at that time (see list below). On June 28, 2005, the
beneficial owners exchanged all their shares in the ship-owning companies for
shares in Friends Investment Company Inc., a newly formed Marshall Islands
company.&#160;&#160;On June 29, 2005, Friends Investment Company Inc. then
exchanged all the shares in the ship-owning companies for shares in Euroseas
Ltd., thus, becoming the sole shareholder of Euroseas Ltd.&#160;&#160;The
transaction described above constitutes a reorganization of companies under
common control, and has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests, as each ship-owning company was under the common control of the
Pittas family prior to the transfer of ownership of the companies to Euroseas
Ltd.&#160;&#160;Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been presented as if the ship-owning companies were consolidated
subsidiaries of the Company for all periods presented and using the historical

Company changed its accounting policy for the valuation of the inventories of
lubricants to the FIFO method to more accurately value its inventories and
better match revenues and expenses. Until December 31, 2006, inventories of
lubricants were valued on an average cost basis; victualling inventories have
always been valued using the FIFO method. The net cumulative effect of this
change amounted to ($13,568) which was recorded in the vessel operating
expenses. The effect on the years 2005 and 2006 is immaterial and, therefore,
the Company has not retrospective applied the new accounting
principle.</font></div>

assets and liabilities at fair value, with the intent to mitigate volatility in
financial reporting that can occur when related assets and liabilities are
recorded on different bases. SFAS No. 159 amends FASB Statement No. 95,
&#8220;Statement of Cash Flows&#8221; (&#8220;SFAS No. 95&#8221;) and FASB Statement No. 115,
&#8220;Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities&#8221; (&#8220;SFAS No.
115&#8221;). SFAS No. 159 specifies that cash flows from trading securities, including
securities for which an entity has elected the fair value option, should be
classified in the statement of cash flows based on the nature of and purpose for
which the securities were acquired. Before this amendment, SFAS No. 95 and SFAS
No. 115 specified that cash flows from trading securities must be classified as
cash flows from operating activities. This statement is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2008. Upon adoption, the Company will be
classifying proceeds from sales of trading securities within the statement of
cash flows as an operating or investing activity based on the intention for
which any securities are acquired. The Company does not expect any of the other
provisions of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated

things, in order to qualify for this exemption, the company operating the ships
must be incorporated in a country, which<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-WEIGHT: bold">&#160;</font>grants an equivalent

long-term borrowings issued at floating rates into equivalent fixed rates. Even
