Factors to Consider When Evaluating Our Results

The results of operations and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 reflect the operations of the M/T Miltiadis M II for the period from January 1, 2010 to March 30, 2010 when the vessel was operated as part of Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. (the “Capital Maritime” or “CMTC”) fleet and include voyage and operating expenses and the repayment of the loan that Capital Maritime had entered into on behalf of the vessel-owning company of the M/T Miltiadis M II. Prior to the completion of the initial public offering of Crude Carriers on March 17, 2010 Capital Maritime and the vessel owning company of the M/T Miltiadis M II were under common control.

Our Fleet

The current employment of our fleet is summarized as follows:



		Commencement of
Vessel Name	Employment (1)	Charter	Expiry (2)	Charterer

Alexander the Great	Spot	-	-	—
Miltiadis M II	Spot	-	-	—
Achilleas	Shell TD3 +PS	Sep 2010	Aug 2011	Shell International Trading & Shipping Co. Ltd
Amoureux	Shell TD5 +PS	Aug 2010	Aug 2011	Shell International Trading & Shipping Co. Ltd
Aias	Shell TD5 +PS	Aug 2010	Aug 2011	Shell International Trading & Shipping Co. Ltd

TD3: Baltic Dirty Tanker Route 3 (Arabian Gulf —Japan) index. TD5: Baltic Dirty Tanker Route 5 (West Africa-US East Coast) index. PS: Profit Sharing. All charters with Shell are subject to a profit sharing arrangement, settled quarterly, allowing the Company to receive 50 percent of any additional revenues earned by the vessels in excess of the index

related minimum base rate over the period that the actual voyage took place. All charters with Shell are also subject to 1.25% brokerage commissions on gross revenues including profit share.

Earliest possible redelivery date. For M/T Achilleas the redelivery date is +/- 30 days at the charterer’s option and for the M/T Amoureux and the M/T Aias the redelivery date is +/- 15 days at the charterer’s option. In July 2011 the index based time charter of the M/T Amoureux was extended for one month.

Factors Affecting Our Future Results of Operations

Please refer to our Form 20-F for 2010 filed on April 18, 2011 regarding the factors affecting our future results of operations.

Results of Operations

Six-month Period Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to the Six-month Period Ended June 30, 2010

Results for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, and June 2010 differ primarily due to the increase in the number of vessels in our fleet and the additional costs we incurred in general and administrative expenses related to the definitive merger agreement with Capital Product Partners L.P. (“CPLP”) and the proxy statement on Form F-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commissions. The average number of vessels under operation for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were 5.0 and 2.01 respectively.

In addition results of operations and cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, reflect the operations of the M/T Miltiadis M II for the period from January 1, 2010 through March 30, 2010 when the vessel was operated as part of Capital Maritime’s fleet and include voyage and operating expenses and repayment of the loan Capital Maritime had entered into on behalf of the respective vessel-owning company.

Revenues

Time and voyage charter revenues amounted to approximately $22.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $28.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in revenues of $5.7 million is due to the weaker crude tanker spot market when compared to a year ago, as charter rates remained close to historical lows, due to high vessel supply. During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, three of our vessels were operated under index based time charters for the whole period, one for a part of this period and the fifth vessel was operated under voyage charters. During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, one vessel operated under voyage charters for the whole period and three for a part of this period. The fifth vessel, M/T Alexander the Great, commenced its index based time charter on June 20, 2010. Time and voyage charter revenues are mainly comprised of the charter hire received and are affected by the average number of vessels in our fleet and the charter rates.

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, amounted to $7.3 million, as compared to $12.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. For both periods the Company commissions resulting from the commercial management agreement with our manager stood at $0.3 million. The decrease in voyage expenses during the six month period ended period June 30, 2011 is primarily due to the increase of the number of our vessels operated under time charters.

Voyage expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 consisted primarily of bunker consumption, port and canal costs and commissions payable under our voyage and time charter agreements. Voyage costs, except for commissions, are paid for by the charterer under time charters and by the owner under voyage charters.

Vessel Operating Expenses

For the six month period ended June 30, 2011, our vessel operating expenses amounted to approximately $8.0 million, of which $0.8 million was incurred under the management agreement with our manager. For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, our vessel operating expenses amounted to approximately $3.5 million of which $0.3 million was incurred under the management agreement with our manager. The increase of $4.5 million to the vessel operating expenses during the six month period ended June 30, 2011, is attributable to the higher average number of vessels in operation as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2010.

Vessel operating expenses are all expenses relating to the operation of the vessel, including crewing, insurance, repairs and maintenance, stores, lubricants, spares and consumables, professional and legal fees and other miscellaneous expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses amounted to $4.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, and include board of directors and officers’ fees and expenses, audit fees, other fees related to the expenses of the publicly traded company, a $1.1 million non-cash allocation related to the equity incentive plan and a $1.9 million related to the definitive merger agreement with Capital Product Partners L.P. (“CPLP”) and the proxy statement on Form F-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, general and administrative expenses were $0.6 million. This increase of $4.0 million to the general and administrative expenses reflects the longer period we operated as publicly traded company during the six month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2010, the expenses we incurred in connection with the definitive merger agreement with CPLP, and the non cash expense we incurred related to the equity incentive plan.

Depreciation

Vessel depreciation of fixed assets amounted to $8.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $3.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, due to the increase of the average number of vessels.

The amount of depreciation for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, represents depreciation on five vessels for the whole period. The amount of depreciation for the six month period ended June 30, 2010, represents depreciation on one vessel for the whole period and on four vessels for part of the period.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, was approximately $2.6 million representing interest expense under our revolving credit facility, amortization of financing charges and bank charges as compared to $0.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 which mainly represents interest expense, amortization of financing charges net of interest income. The increase of $1.9 million to other expense net is mainly due to the higher interest expense incurred during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2010 as we drew down the amount of $134.6 million from our credit facility in June 2010.

Net (Loss) / Income

Net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, amounted to $8.0 million as compared to net income of $8.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at June 30, 2011, total cash and cash equivalents were $7.6 million, restricted cash was $5.0 million, and total liquidity including cash and undrawn long-term borrowings was $78.0 million.

As at December 31, 2010, total cash and cash equivalents were $10.9 million, restricted cash was $5.0 million, and total liquidity including cash and undrawn long-term borrowings was $81.3 million.

We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations and working capital borrowings. As our vessels come up for rechartering, depending on the prevailing market rates, we may not be able to recharter them at levels similar to their current charters which may affect our future cash flows from operations. Generally, our long-term sources of funds will be from cash from operations, long-term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings. We expect that we will rely upon internal and external financing sources, including bank borrowings and the issuance of debt and equity securities, to fund any acquisitions and expansion and investment capital expenditures, including opportunities we may pursue under the Business Opportunities Agreement or acquisitions from third parties.

As at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had $65.4 million in undrawn amounts under our revolving credit facility.

Total Stockholders’ Equity as of June 30, 2011, amounted to $261.9 million as compared to $277.6 as at December 31, 2010. The decrease in Stockholders’ equity is due to:

•

the Company’s net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, of $8.0 million;

•

the distributions paid to shareholders during the same period amounting to $8.8 million; and

•

the allocation of the equity incentive plan amounting to $1.1 million.

Notwithstanding the recent global economic downturn and the recent recovery, the likely strength and duration of which it is not possible to predict and subject to shipping, charter and financial market developments, we believe that our working capital will be sufficient to meet our existing liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows

Our cash flow statements reflect the operations of the Company and include proceeds from our IPO, proceeds from our revolving credit facility, payment of dividends to our shareholders, payments made to our Manager according to our management agreement, expenses incurred by us while operating the vessels currently in our fleet, including expenses associated with voyage and operating expenses and interest repayment of our revolving credit facility, as well as certain payments made by us to shipyards prior to the delivery of the relevant vessels.

Our cash flow statement for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 reflects the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Our cash flow statement for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 reflects the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as the operations of the vessel-owning company of the M/T Miltiadis M II for the period from January 1, 2010 to March 30, 2010 when the vessel was operated as part of Capital Maritime’s fleet and include voyage and operating expenses and repayment of the loan Capital Maritime had entered into on behalf of the respective vessel-owning company.

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents provided by / (used in) operating, financing and investing activities for the years presented in millions:


	For the six month period
	ended June 30,
	2011			2010
Net Cash Provided by / (Used in) Operating Activities	$	5.5		$	(3.6	)
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities	$	(0.02	)	$	(403.9	)
Net Cash (Used in) / Provided by Financing Activities	$	(8.8	)		409.4

Net Cash Provided by / (Used in) Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $5.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 from $(3.6) million used in operating activities for the same period in 2010 primarily due to the increase in the number of vessels operated in 2011 and the different charter arrangements as for the six months period ended June 30, 2011 the majority of our vessels operated under time charters compared to the six months period ended June 30, 2010 where our vessels operated under voyage charters. During the six month period ended June 30, 2011 the five vessels comprising our fleet were under operation for the whole period whereas in the same period of 2010 only one vessel was operated for the whole period and the other four vessels for a part of this period. In addition, the working capital of the vessel owning company of the M/T Miltiadis M II for the period from January 1, 2010 through March 30, 2010 when the vessel was operated as part of Capital Maritime fleet was retained by Capital Maritime.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash is used primarily for vessel acquisitions and changes in net cash used in investing activities are primarily due to the number of vessels acquired in the relevant period. We expect to rely primarily upon external and internal financing sources, including bank borrowings and the issuance of debt and equity securities as well as cash in order to fund any future vessels acquisitions or expansion and investment capital expenditures.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities of $0.02 million reflecting payments for the capitalized expenses of our fleet.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in investing activities of $403.9 was comprised of:

Vessel acquisitions of 398.9 which is analyzed as follows:

•

$193.9 million, representing the construction cost plus initial expenses of the M/T Alexander the Great and the M/T Achilleas; and

•

$205.0 million, representing the acquisition cost of the M/T Miltiadis M II, the M/T Amoureux and the M/T Aias. This amount also includes the 1% sales and purchase commission of $1.3 million on the acquisition price of the M/T Aias and the M/T Amoureux which was paid to Capital Maritime under the terms of our management agreement; and

$5.0 million representing the increase to our restricted cash which is the minimum amount of free cash we were required to maintain under our revolving credit facility on June 30, 2011.

Net Cash (Used in) / Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $8.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $409.4 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2010.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, we paid dividends of $8.8 million to our shareholders.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010 there was no dividends payment.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2010 we received proceeds of $134.6 million from the issuance of long-term debt offset by the payment of loan issuance costs of $1.4 million reflecting the issuance costs of our revolving credit facility.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, we successfully completed our IPO receiving proceeds of $278.5 million after the deduction of the underwriters’ commissions and including proceeds of $40.0 million from the capital contribution made by Crude Carriers Investment Corp. During the same period we paid $0.6 million for expenses relating to our IPO.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010 we paid to Capital Maritime under the terms of our management a sales and purchase commission of $1.0 million on the acquisition price of the M/T Alexander the Great.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010 we paid $0.8 million reflecting principal repayments of the related party debt of the M/T Miltiadis M II made by Capital Maritime at the time that the vessel was operated as part of its fleet.

Borrowings

Our long-term third party borrowings are reflected in our balance sheet as “Long-term debt” and as current liabilities in “Current portion of long-term debt”. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, long term debt amounted to $115.3 and $124.9 million respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the current portion of long term debt was $19.3 and $9.7 million, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On March 31, 2010, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Nordea Bank Finland PLC, London branch, for a $100 million revolving credit facility. On April 22, 2010, the Company replaced the $100 million facility with a facility of $150 million, by increasing the commitment amount by $50.0 million. Of the $150 million, it was agreed that an amount of up to $140 million (the “Acquisition facility”) could be used to finance the acquisition of crude oil carriers and an amount of up to $10 million (the “Working Capital facility”) could be used for general corporate purposes. On June 2 and June 22, 2010 the Company drew the amounts of $59.58 million and $75 million from the Acquisition facility in order to partially finance the acquisition of the M/T Aias and the M/T Achilleas, respectively. On September 30, 2010, the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility to increase its borrowing capacity from $150 million to $200 million. The Company also had the option to convert the revolving credit facility into a term loan facility twelve months following any drawdown. The revolving credit facility could be converted into a term loan, until the loan is repaid and for the amounts drawn. The repayment schedule is based on a nine-year amortization profile (for the calculation of the quarterly installments) but with the final payment due in March 2015. The amortization of any outstanding amounts under our revolving credit facility is expected to start in September 2011. On May 17, 2011 the Company exercised this option and converted the two advances of its revolving credit facility into a term loan. As a result of this conversion the margin of the credit facility increased to 3.25%

from 3% upon the one year anniversary of the advances drawdown. The loan commitment fees are calculated at 1% per annum on any undrawn amount and are paid quarterly.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had for both periods $65.4 million in available amounts under our revolving credit facility, subject to its loan terms.

Loan interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.2 and $0.2 million. The interest rates as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were 3.44% and 3.29%, respectively.

Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are jointly and severally secured by the vessel-owning companies of the collateral vessels. The credit facility also contains customary ship finance covenants, including restrictions as to changes in management and ownership of the mortgaged vessels, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the mortgaging of vessels. We also may not be able to pay dividends to our shareholders if we are not in compliance with certain financial covenants and ratios described below or upon the occurrence of an event of default or if the aggregate market value of our collateralized vessels is less than 160% of the aggregate amount outstanding under the facility. This percentage was increased to 180% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount upon the conversion of the two advances of the facility to a term loan.

In addition to the above, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain minimum free consolidated liquidity of at least $1.0 million per collateralized vessel, maintain a ratio of EBITDA to net interest expense of at least 3.00 to 1.00 on a trailing four-quarter basis and maintain a ratio of Stockholders’ Equity to market adjusted total assets of no less than 30:100.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants.

As a result of the conversion of the two advances of the company’s credit facility, the repayments to be made under this revolving credit facility subsequent to June 30, 2011 are as follows:



	Bank loans repayment schedule
For the twelve month period		I	ii		Total
ended June 30,
2012		9,930		9,375		19,305
2013		9,930		9,375		19,305
2014		9,930		9,375		19,305
2015		29,790		46,875		76,665
Total	$	59,580	$	75,000	$	134,580

Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our revolving credit facility and any other debt instruments we may enter into in the future may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions, including interest rate developments, changes in the funding costs of our banks and changes in asset valuations. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. If we are in breach of any of the restrictions, covenants, ratios or tests in our revolving credit facility, a significant portion of our obligations may become immediately due and payable, and our lenders’ commitment to make further loans to us may terminate. We may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments. In addition, obligations under our revolving credit facility are secured by our vessels, and if we are unable to repay debt under the credit facilities, the lenders could seek to foreclose on those assets.

Furthermore, any contemplated vessel acquisitions will have to be at levels that do not impair the required ratios set out above. The recent global economic downturn has had an adverse effect on tanker asset values which is likely to persist if the economic slowdown resumes. If the estimated asset values of the vessels in our fleet continue to decrease, such decreases may limit the amounts we can drawdown under our credit facilities to purchase additional vessels and our ability to expand our fleet. In addition, we may be obligated to pre-pay part of our outstanding debt in order to remain in compliance with the relevant covenants in our credit facilities. A decline in the market value of our vessels could also lead to a default under any prospective credit facility to which we become a party, affect our ability to refinance our credit facilities and/or limit our ability to obtain additional financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

A discussion of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010. During the six month period the company amended its significant accounting policies in order to include a new policy for deferred dry docking costs.

Changes in Accounting Policies

Deferred dry docking costs: The Company’s vessels are required to be dry docked every 30 to 60 months for major repairs and maintenance that cannot be performed while the vessels are under operation. The Company has adopted the deferral method of accounting for dry-dock activities whereby costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled dry-dock activity. Deferred dry-docking costs consists of actual costs incurred at the dry-dock yard; cost of travel, lodging and subsistence of our personnel sent to the dry-docking site to supervise; and the cost of hiring a third party to oversee the dry-docking.

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information

Crude Carriers Corp. (the “Company” or “CRU”) was formed on October 29, 2009, under the laws of the Republic of The Marshall Islands, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crude Carriers Investments Corp. (“CCI”).

The Company’s purpose is to acquire and operate a fleet of crude tankers that transport mainly crude oil and fuel oil along worldwide shipping routes. The Company focuses on the spot market, including all types of spot market-related engagements such as single voyage or short-term time charters, but retains the ability to evaluate and enter into longer-term period charters, including time and bareboat charters.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 18, 2011.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

On May 5, 2011 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Capital Product Partners L.P. (“CPP”), a limited partnership which was organized in 2007, under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, in a unit for share transaction. CPP’s common units are trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange since March 29, 2007. The exchange ratio is 1.56 CPP common units for each CRU share. Each of CPP and CRU established Special Committees, consisting entirely of independent directors, to negotiate the terms of the merger agreement, and each of the Special Committees has approved the transaction and recommended it to their respective boards of directors, which unanimously approved the transaction. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including a class vote by the holders of common stock of CRU. Each of the CRU management team, Evangelos Marinakis, Chairman of the Board and CEO, Ioannis Lazaridis, President, Gerasimos Kalogiratos, CFO, and Crude Carriers Investments Corp., holder of all of the CRU’s Class B Common Stock, have entered into a support agreement pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the transaction. CPP will be the surviving entity in the merger and will continue to be structured as a master limited partnership.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010”). The company amended its significant accounting policies in order to include a new policy for deferred dry docking costs.

3. Transactions with Related Parties

Since March 17, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries have related-party transactions with Capital Ship Management Corp. (the “Manager”), that provides management services to the Company such as commercial, technical, administrative, investor relations and strategic services.

Commercial services primarily involve vessel chartering and vessel sale and purchase. For the commercial services the Company pays to the Manager a fee equal to 1.25% of all gross revenues and 1% sale and purchase fee of the gross purchase or sale price of each vessel. Total management fee charged by the Manager in relation to the commercial fee of 1.25% for the six months periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $284 and $267, respectively and is included in “Voyage expenses — related party” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2010 the sales and purchase fee of 1% payable to the Manager on gross acquisition price of the M/T Alexander the Great, the M/T Achilleas, the M/T Amourex and the M/T Aias amounting to $3,254 was recorded in the case of the M/T Aias and the M/T Amoureux as vessels’ cost ($662 for each vessel) and in the case of the M/T Alexander the Great and the M/T Achilleas as a reduction to the Company’s Stockholders’ Equity ($965 for each vessel) (Note 7). As of June 30, 2010 the sales and purchase fee of 1% on gross acquisition price of the M/T Achilleas amounted to $965 and was due to the Manager and included in “Due to related parties” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Technical services primarily include vessel operation, maintenance, obtaining appropriate insurance, regulatory, vetting and classification society compliance, purchasing and crewing. For the technical services the Company pays to the Manager a fee of $0.9 per day per vessel. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 total management fee charged by the Manager for technical services amounted to $779 and $304, respectively and is included in “Vessel operating expenses — related party” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

3. Transactions with Related Parties — Continued:

For the period from January 1, 2010 through March 30, 2010, the line item “Vessel operating expenses — related party” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations reflect management fees of $134 which were paid to Capital Maritime and Trading Corp. (“CMTC”) by the vessel owning company of the M/T Miltiadis M II while it was operated as part of CMTC’s fleet. During this period prior to the successful closing of the Company’s initial public offering, both CMTC and the vessel owning company of the M/T Miltiadis M II were under common control.

Pursuant to the management agreement the Company reimburses the Manager for all of its direct and indirect costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in providing services to the Company, including, but not limited to, employment costs for any personnel of the Manager for time spent on matters related to providing services to the Company. The Company also reimburses the Manager all the payments that the Manager makes on behalf of the Company. Total fees charged by the Manager in relation to the administrative services agreement for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 were $179 respectively and are included in “General and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three month period ended June 30, 2010 and for the period from March 17, 2010 to June 30, 2010 the Manager did not charge the Company for such services.

The vessel owning company of the M/T Miltiadis M II had related party transactions with CMTC and its subsidiaries including the Manager before its acquisition by the Company on March 30, 2010 mainly for the following reasons:

•

Capital contribution from CMTC;

•

Loan agreements that CMTC entered into, acting as the borrower, for the financing of the acquisition of the M/T Miltiadis M II;

•

Manager payments on behalf of the vessel owning company and hire receipts from charterers;

•

Management agreement for providing services such as chartering, technical support and maintenance, insurance, consulting, financial and accounting services with different terms and conditions than the management agreement that CRU entered into with CMTC upon the closing of the Offering; and

•

Funds advanced to and received from entities with common ownership.

On March 31, 2010 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Nordea Bank Finland PLC, London branch for a $100,000 revolving credit facility. On April 22, 2010 the Company replaced the loan agreement of $100,000 with a revolving credit facility of $150,000 by increasing the commitment amount by $50,000. Of the $150,000 an amount of up to $140,000 (the “Acquisition facility”) can be used to finance the acquisition of crude oil carriers and an amount of up to $10,000 (the “Working Capital facility”) can be used for general corporate services. On June 2, 2010 and June 22, 2010 the Company drew from the Acquisition facility the amounts of $59,580 and $75,000 in order to partially finance the acquisition of the M/T Aias and the M/T Achilleas, respectively. On September 30, 2010 the Company amended and restated its revolving credit facility to increase its borrowing capacity from $150,000 to $200,000 of which the amount which can be used for general corporate services remained unchanged at $10,000. Furthermore in accordance with the amendment dated September 30, 2010, the Company has the option to convert the revolving credit facility into a term loan facility twelve months following any drawn down. On May 17, 2011 the Company exercised its option to convert the revolving credit facility into a term loan facility and converted the two advances of the revolving credit facility into a term loan. The repayment schedule of this term loan is based on a nine year amortization profile from the delivery date of the respective vessel from the shipyard with final payment due in March 2015, the termination date. The amortization of any outstanding amount under this credit facility is expected to start in September 2011. As a result of this

conversion the margin of the credit facility has increased to 3.25% from 3%. The loan commitment fees are calculated at 1% per annum on any undrawn amount and are paid quarterly.

The plan provides for the award of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and other stock or cash-based awards. On August 31, 2010 and March 16, 2011 the Board awarded 200,000 and 5,000 unvested shares, respectively to the Company’s Employees. On August 31, 2010 the Board also awarded 194,400 unvested shares to the Company’s Non-Employees. Awards granted to independent directors and the chairman of the board of the Company are considered to be awards to Company’s Employees and will vest in three equal annual installments. The awards to the Non Employees will vest on August 31, 2013.

As of June 30, 2011 all of the awards granted were unvested. There were no forfeitures of awards during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 or for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company estimates the forfeitures of unvested shares to be immaterial. The Company will, however, re-evaluate the reasonableness of its assumption at each reporting period. As of June 30, 2011, 600 shares remained unissued under the current equity incentive plan.

All unvested shares are conditional upon the grantee’s continued service as a director or employee of the Company’s affiliates’ until the applicable vesting date. The unvested shares accrue dividends as declared and paid which are retained by the custodian of the Plan until the shares vest at which time they are payable to the grantee. As of June 30, 2011 the unvested shares accrued dividends of $297. As unvested share grantees accrue dividends on awards that are expected to vest, such dividends are charged to the Stockholder’s Equity.

As of June 30, 2011, there was $2,680 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to Employees unvested share based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan based on the grant date share price of $18.1 on August 31, 2010 used for the valuation of the unvested shares awarded to Employees. That cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.2 years.

8. Equity Incentive Plan — Continued

As of June 30, 2011, there was $1,804 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to Non-Employees unvested share based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan based on the closing share price of $13.45 on June 30, 2011 used for the valuation of the shares awarded to Non-Employees. That cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.2 years.

The Company has used the straight-line method to recognize the cost of the awards.

9. Net (loss) / income per share

The Company excluded the 399,400 unvested share awards in calculating diluted EPS for its shareholders as of June 30, 2011, as they were anti-dilutive. The unvested shares are participating securities because they receive distributions from the Company and these distributions do not have to be returned to the Company if the unvested shares are forfeited by the grantee. However, nonvested, participating common shares do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses and were, therefore, excluded from the basic loss per share calculation for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 due to the net loss.

The Company calculates basic and diluted net income or loss per share as follows:


	For the six month period
	ended June 30,
Numerators	2011			2010
Net (loss) / income available to common and class B shareholders	$	(7,973	)	$	8,044

Denominators
Weighted average number of common and class B shares outstanding — basic and diluted		15,605,263			10,011,340
Net (loss) / income per share:
Basic and diluted	$	(0.51	)	$	0.80

The Company considers the issuance of Class B shares (Note 7) as an equity recapitalization and used the number of Class B shares of 2,105,263 to calculate net income per share for the period from January 1, 2010 to March 16, 2010.
