      are a
      provider of international seaborne transportation services, carrying refined
      petroleum products and crude oil.&#160;&#160;As of March 31, 2007, our fleet
      size was 24 vessels, or 2.5 million dwt (including 18 vessels sold and leased
      back for a period of 5 to 7 years) as compared to 27 vessels, or 2.6 million
      dwt
      on March 31, 2006.</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. A spot market voyage charter is generally
      a
      contract to carry a specific cargo from a load port to a discharge port for
      an
      agreed upon total amount. Under spot market voyage charters, we pay voyage
      expenses such as port, canal and fuel costs. A time charter is generally a
      contract to charter a vessel for a fixed period of time at a specified daily
      rate. Under time charters, the charterer pays voyage expenses such as port,
      canal and fuel costs. Under both types of charters, we pay for vessel operating
      expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores,
      lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance and repairs, as well as for commissions
      on gross charter rates. We are also responsible for the vessel's intermediate
      and special survey costs.</font></div>

      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 capture
      increased profit margins during periods of improvements in vessel rates although
      we are exposed to the risk of declining vessel rates, which may have a
      materially adverse impact on our financial performance. We are constantly
      evaluating opportunities to increase the number of our vessels deployed on
      time
      charters, but only expect to enter into additional time charters if we can
      obtain contract terms that satisfy our charter rate criteria.</font></div>

        discussion and analysis purposes only, we evaluate performance using time
        charter equivalent, or TCE<sup><a href="#ref.id2636102">1</a></sup>, revenues.
        TCE revenues are voyage revenues minus voyage expenses. Voyage expenses
        primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular
        voyage, which would otherwise be paid by a charterer under a time charter,
        as
        well as commissions. We believe that presenting voyage revenues net of voyage
        expenses neutralizes the variability created by unique costs associated with
        particular voyages or the deployment of vessels on the spot market and presents
        a more accurate representation of the revenues generated by our
        vessels.</font></div>

          We calculate daily TCE rates by dividing TCE revenues by voyage days for
          the
          relevant time period. TCE revenues include demurrage revenue, which represents
          fees charged to charterers associated with our spot market voyages when
          the
          charterer exceeds the agreed upon time required to load or discharge a
          cargo. We
          calculate daily direct vessel operating expenses and daily general and
          administrative expenses for the relevant period by dividing the total expenses
          by the aggregate number of calendar days that we owned each tanker for
          the
          period.</font></div><br>

          Consistent with
          general practice in the tanker shipping industry, time charter equivalent,
          or
          TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel
          on a per
          voyage basis. Our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry
          standards and is determined by dividing net voyage revenue by voyage days
          for
          the relevant time period. Net voyage revenues are voyage revenues minus
          voyage
          expenses. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs
          that
          are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the
          charterer under a time charter contract, as well as third party charter
          commissions.</font></div>

      depreciate our tankers on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
      lives determined to be 25&#160;years from the date of their initial delivery
      from the shipyard. Depreciation is based on cost less the estimated residual
      value. We capitalize the total costs associated with a dry-docking, as deferred
      charges, and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the period
      when
      the next dry-docking becomes due, which is typically 30 months. Regulations
      and/or incidents may change the estimated dates of next dry
      dockings.</font></div>

      March
      2006, we sold the <em>M/T Faithful, M/T Spotless, M/T Vanguard, M/T Doubtless,
      M/T Flawless, M/T Timeless, M/T Priceless </em>and<em> M/T Stopless</em> and
      entered into bareboat charter agreements to leaseback the vessels, for a period
      of five years.</font></div>

      charter back agreements are accounted for as operating leases and the gains
      on
      each sale were deferred and are being amortized to income over the lease
      periods; lease payments relating to the bareboat charters of the vessels are
      separately reflected in the consolidated statements of income. According to
      the
      terms of the 2006 sale and leaseback transactions, 10% of the gross aggregate
      sales price, $55.0 million, has been withheld by the purchaser and will be
      paid
      to us not later than three months after the end of bareboat charter period
      or
      upon the resale of the vessels by the purchaser, if earlier. Consequently,
      we
      recognized this receivable from the purchaser at a discounted amount upon the
      sale of the vessels, classified as a non-current asset, and will accrete the
      balance of the receivable to the full $55.0 million, through deferred gain
      on
      sale and leaseback of vessels over the period of the bareboat charter or upon
      the resale of the vessels by the purchaser, if earlier. The purpose of the
      hold-back is to serve as security for the due and punctual performance and
      observance of all the terms and conditions from our behalf under the
      agreements.</font></div>

      purpose of the sale and leaseback transactions that were completed in 2006
      was
      to take advantage of the high asset price environment prevailing in the market
      at the time while maintaining commercial and operational control of the vessels
      for a period of five to seven years. The majority of the net proceeds of the
      transaction, after debt repayment, were distributed as a special dividend to
      the

      2007 compared to $55.6&#160;million for the first quarter of 2006. This decrease
      is due to the decrease of voyage revenues to $74 million in 2007 from $101.7

      EBITDA
      represents earnings before interest and finance costs, interest income, taxes,

      expense, interest income, amortization of deferred financing fees, other
      financial costs, gain or loss from termination of swaps and swap fair value
      changes. Adjusted EBITDA is included in this report because we believe it
      provides investors with an understanding of operating performance over
      comparative periods. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute
      for operating income or net income (all as determined in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles) for the purpose of analyzing our
      operating performance, as Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by generally accepted
      accounting principles. We presented Adjusted EBITDA, however, because it is
      commonly used by certain investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies
      on the basis of operating performance.</font></div>

      operating days for 2007 to spot rates, which may be potentially

      of
      March 31, 2007, the Company has three interest rate swap agreements with RBS
      for
      the notional amounts of $31.7 million, $10 million and $10 million for a period
      of four, seven and seven years, respectively. Under these agreements the
      interest rate is fixed at an effective annual rate of 4.66% (in addition to
      the
      applicable margin), 4.23% and 4.11%, respectively. The Company also has one
      interest rate swap agreement with HSH for the notional amount of $40.2 million
      for a period of five years, at a fixed interest rate of 4.80% in addition to
      the
      applicable margin. In addition, the Company has two interest rate swap
      agreements with Deutsche Bank and Egnatia Bank for the notional amounts of
      $50
      million and $10 million for a period of seven and seven years, respectively.
      Under these agreements the interest rate is fixed at an effective annual rate
      of
      4.45% and 4.76%, respectively. The two swaps with RBS for notional amounts
      of
      $10 million and $10 million, the swap with Deutsche Bank for a notional amount
      of $50 million and the swap with Egnatia Bank for a notional amount of $10
      million, include steepening terms based on the 2 and 10 year swap difference,
      which is calculated quarterly in arrears. The interest rate for the remaining
      balance of the loans is LIBOR, plus the margin.&#160;&#160;On March 31, 2007,
      the Company&#8217;s ratio of indebtedness to total capital was approximately

      REVENUES--Voyage revenues decreased by $27.7&#160;million, or 27.2%, to
      $74.0&#160;million for 2007 compared to $101.7&#160;million for 2006. This
      decrease is due to the decrease of operating days to 1,995 days in 2007 from
      2,348 days in 2006 as a result of the decrease in the average number of vessels
      and the decrease in the utilization rate of vessels as a result of the
      dry-dockings of M/T Stopless and M/T Vanguard and the ballast tanks cleaning
      process of M/T Faultless. Specifically, during the first quarter of 2007 the
      average number of vessels operating was 24.0, down from 27.0 for the respective
      period in 2006. Also, during the first quarter of 2007 the average TCE rate
      was
      lower by 18.7% or $29,597 from $36,419 in the respective period in
      2006.</font></div>

      EXPENSES--Voyage expenses primarily consist of port charges, including canal
      dues, bunkers (fuel costs) and commissions that are unique to a particular
      voyage. These expenses, which are paid by the charterer under a time charter
      contract, as well as commissions, decreased by $1.3&#160;million, or 8.0%, to
      $14.9&#160;million for 2007 compared to $16.2&#160;million for the respective
      period in 2006. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease of our average
      number of vessels to 24.0 from 27.0 in the first quarter of 2006, as well as
      a
      decrease in the average market price for bunkers from the respective period

      VOYAGE REVENUES--Net voyage revenues, which are voyage revenues minus voyage
      expenses, decreased by $26.5&#160;million, or 31.0%, to $59.0&#160;million for
      the first quarter of 2007 compared to $85.5&#160;million the first quarter of
      the prior year. This decrease is the result of the decrease of our total voyage
      days for the fleet to 1,995 days in the first quarter of 2007 from 2,348 days
      in
      the respective period of 2006, due to the decrease of our average number of
      vessels to 24.0 in 2007 from 27.0 in 2006 as well as the lower charter rates
      realized on our vessels during the first quarter of 2007.</font></div>

      expense. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.6 million in

      of operating days to 1,995 days in 2007 from 2,348 days in 2006 as a result
      of
      the decrease in the average number of vessels. Additionally, operating expenses
      increased mainly due to the 13 sale and leaseback transactions concluded in
      2006, which resulted in the increase of charter hire expense by
      $21.9&#160;million, or 288.1%, to $29.5&#160;million for the first quarter of
      2007 compared to $7.6&#160;million for the respective period of the prior year.
      This increase was partly set off by the decrease in the depreciation
      expense.</font></div>

      installment for the 2 new-buildings, and a principal repayment of $4.3 million

      Interpretation No. 48:</strong> In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No.
      48, &#8220;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes&#8221; (FIN 48), which supplements
      SFAS No. 109, &#8220;Accounting for Income Taxes&#8221;, by defining the confidence level
      that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial
      statements. The Interpretation requires that the tax effects of a position
      be
      recognized only if it is &#8220;more-likely-than-not&#8221; to be sustained based solely on
      its technical merits as of the reporting date. The more-likely-than-not
      threshold represents a positive assertion by management that a company is
      entitled to the economic benefits of a tax position. If a tax position is not
      considered more-likely-than-not to be sustained based solely on its technical
      merits, no benefits of the position are to be recognized. Moreover, the
      more-likely-than-not threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period
      to support continued recognition of a benefit. At adoption, companies must
      adjust their financial statements to reflect only those tax positions that
      are
      more-likely-than-not to be sustained as of the adoption date. Any necessary
      adjustment would be recorded directly to retained earnings in the period of
      adoption and reported as a change in accounting principle. This Interpretation
      is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after
      December 15, 2006. In 2007, the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material
      impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
      Company.</font></div>

      financial reporting periods, if no liability is required to be recorded for
      an
      asset retirement obligation based on a legal obligation for which the event
      obligating the entity has occurred. FSP No. AUG AIR-1 also requires disclosures
      regarding the method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities
      and
      the effects of implementing the FSP. The guidance in FSP No. AUG AIR-1 is

                Technical Co. S.A.:</em></strong> On July 9, 2004, the Company entered
                into an agreement to lease office space in Athens, Greece from Pyramis
                Technical Co. SA, which is wholly owned by the father of the Company&#8217;s
                Chief Executive Officer. The agreement was for duration of six years
                beginning July 2004 with a lessee&#8217;s option for an extension of four years.
                The monthly rental was Euro 39,000 and effective January 1, 2006
                was
                adjusted for inflation to Euro 40,365. Other general and administrative
                expenses for the three months period ended March 31, 2006 include
                $ 144 of
                rentals paid to Pyramis Technical Co. S.A. In January 2006 the Company
                entered into an agreement to lease office space in Athens, Greece,
                with an
                unrelated party. The change in office location, due to necessary
                refurbishments, took place in October 2006; therefore, the Company
                paid to
                Pyramis Technical Co. S.A the October rent plus four rentals as
                termination compensation. In April and August 2006, the Company entered
                into an agreement with Pyramis Technical Co. S.A. for the renovation
                of
                the new premises. The total contracted cost totaled Euro 1,844,360,
                of
                which Euro 1,935,680.52 ($2,496) were paid up to March 31, 2007.
                The
                amount of $2,699 related to renovation works, discussed above, is
                included
                in Other fixed assets, net, in the accompanying 2007 consolidated
                balance
                sheet and is depreciated over the lease period, which is 12
                years.</font></div>

        Covenants:</em></strong> The loans contain financial covenants, calculated on a
        consolidated basis, requiring the Company to ensure that the aggregate market
        value of the mortgaged vessels at all times exceed 140% of the aggregate
        outstanding principal amounts under the loans, to ensure that total assets
        minus
        total debt will not at any time be less than $250,000 and to maintain liquid
        funds which at any time be not less than the higher of $10,000 or $500 per
        vessel. As a result, the minimum liquid funds required under the loan covenants
        of $12,000 on a consolidated basis, as of December 31, 2006 and March 31,
        2007,

        The Company is permitted to pay dividends under the loans so long as they

        in a default of a loan covenant. The Company&#8217;s management believes that as of

      after the expiry of the individual bareboat charter agreements or upon
      termination of the said agreements, if earlier. The collection of the unpaid

      bareboat charter agreements are accounted for as operating leases and the gain
      on the sale of $17,580 was deferred and is being amortized to income over the
      seven-year lease period. The deferred gain was calculated by deducting from
      the
      sales price the carrying amount of the vessels, the expenses related to the
      sale
      and the unpaid sales price (which is treated as a residual value guarantee
      and
      will be recognized in income upon collection). The amortization of the deferred
      gain amounted to $628 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 and is
      included in Amortization of deferred gain on sale and leaseback of vessels
      in
      the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The total lease payments
      for
      the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 related to the foregoing leases
      were

      charter agreements) at all times exceed $125,000 and book equity at all times

      2006 and $25,000 thereafter and until the final date of the bareboat charters,
      shall be maintained on deposit by the Company. The Company during the bareboat

      earnings per share, such non-vested shares are not considered outstanding until
      the time-based vesting restriction has lapsed. Furthermore, dividends declared

      February 2007, a ballast tanks cleaning process was effected on the M/T
      Faultless. The vessel resumed operations in March 2007. The Company incurred
      approximately $1,857 in expenses associated with the cleaning process, which
      are
      included in repairs and maintenance expense for the three months ended March
      31,
      2007. These expenses have been partially offset by $1,469 of probable insurance
      recoveries, which are expected to be received under our insurance policies
      during the second quarter of 2007. We have recorded a receivable due from the
      insurance company and is included in the balance sheet at March 31, 2007. The
      Company is in the process of seeking additional insurance related recoveries
      for
      loss of hire during the repairs period, however, due to the uncertainty
      regarding the claims no additional amounts have been recorded.</font></div>

      discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements.
      Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future
      events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans,
      objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying
      assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical

      forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions,
      many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without
      limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data
      contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although
      TOP Tankers believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because
      these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
      contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our
      control, TOP Tankers cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these
      expectations, beliefs or projections.</font></div>

      factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially
      from
      those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world
      economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in
      charter hire rates and vessel values, failure of a seller to deliver one or
      more
      vessels, failure of a buyer to accept delivery of a vessel, inability to procure
      acquisition financing, changes in demand for oil and petroleum products, the
      effect of changes in OPEC&#8217;s petroleum production levels and worldwide oil
      consumption and storage, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time
      charterers, scheduled and unscheduled dry-docking, changes in our voyage and
      operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry- docking and insurance costs,
      changes in governmental rules and regulations including requirements for
      double-hull tankers or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential
      liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international
      political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents
      and political events or acts by terrorists.</font></div>

        in the Prospectus, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained
        all
        environmental permits, licenses and other authorizations required by United

        the
        protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic
        substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (&#8220;Environmental Laws&#8221;), in
        order to conduct their businesses as described in the Prospectus except where
        the failure to obtain a particular environmental permit, license, or
        authorization, has not or could not reasonably be expected to, either
        individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect; the
        Company and each of its Subsidiaries are conducting their businesses in
        compliance with such permits, licenses and authorizations and with applicable
        environmental laws, except where the failure to be in compliance would not
        have
        a Material Adverse Effect; and, except as described in the Prospectus, the
        Company is not in violation of any federal, state, foreign or local law or
        regulation relating to the storage, handling, disposal, release or
        transportation of hazardous or toxic materials except for such violations
        or
        noncompliance which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material
        Adverse Effect.</font></div>

        In
        the ordinary course of its business, the Company conducts a periodic review
        of
        the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties
        of
        the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and
        evaluates associated costs and liabilities (including, without limitation,
        any
        capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or compliance with
        Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints
        on operating activities and any potential liabilities to third parties).
        On the
        basis of such review, the Company has reasonably concluded that such associated
        costs and liabilities which, individually or in the aggregate, would not
        have a
        Material Adverse Effect.</font></div>
