E.

During the third quarter, we commenced physical supply operations in Hong Kong, increasing Aegean's current global scale to 20 markets covering approximately 60 ports. We also announced plans to launch operations in Barcelona, Spain, further enhancing our ability to leverage Aegean's high-quality logistics infrastructure. Consistent with our objective to expand Aegean's worldwide marine fuel logistics chain, we commenced utilization of the onshore storage facility in Tanger Med during the third quarter. This new facility provides important strategic benefits that will enable Aegean to ensure the availability of product for credit quality customers, enhance its purchasing power for marine fuel and generate third-party leasing income. With an expanding global full-service platform we remain well positioned to strengthen Aegean's global brand recognition and drive future performance."

Net cash used in investing activities was $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, mainly due to the advances for other fixed assets under construction.

Net cash used in financing activities was $20.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily driven by the pay down of net borrowings.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $207.1 million in available liquidity, which includes unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $77.1 million and available undrawn amounts under the Company's working capital facilities of $130.0 million, to finance working capital requirements.

Spyros Gianniotis, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "During the third quarter, we continued to increase fleet utilization while growing sales volumes in a number of our core markets.  We also maintained our focus on executing transactions in a disciplined manner with creditworthy counterparties and improving our overall cost structure. While we continue to operate in a difficult macro environment, we believe our integrated services and financial strength bode well for management to further enhance Aegean's long-term earnings potential as we continue to leverage our global marine fuel platform."

Gross spread on marine petroleum products represents the margin the Company generates on sales of marine fuel and lubricants.  Gross spread on marine fuel represents the margin that the Company generates on sales of various classifications of marine fuel oil ("MFO") or marine gas oil ("MGO"). Gross spread on lubricants represents the margin that the Company generates on sales of lubricants. The Company calculates the above-mentioned gross spreads by subtracting from the sales of the respective marine petroleum product the cost of the respective marine petroleum product sold and cargo transportation costs. For arrangements in which the Company physically supplies the respective marine petroleum product using its bunkering tankers, costs of the respective marine petroleum products sold represents amounts paid by the Company for the respective marine petroleum product sold in the relevant reporting period. For arrangements in which the respective marine petroleum product is purchased from the Company's related company, Aegean Oil S.A., or Aegean Oil, cost of the respective marine petroleum products sold represents the total amount paid by the Company to the physical supplier for the respective marine petroleum product and its delivery to the custom arrangements in which the Company purchases cargos of marine fuel for its floating storage facilities, transportation costs may be included in the purchase price of marine fuels from the supplier or may be incurred separately from a transportation provider. Gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold represents the margin the Company generates per metric ton of marine fuel sold. The Company calculates gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold by dividing the gross spread on marine fuel by the sales volume of marine fuel. Marine fuel sales do not include sales of lubricants. The following table reflects the calculation of gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold for the periods presented:

3.
Sales volume of marine fuel is the volume of sales of various classifications of MFO and MGO for the relevant period and is denominated in metric tons. The Company does not use the sales volume of lubricants as an indicator.
 
The Company's markets include its physical supply operations in the United Arab Emirates, Gibraltar, Jamaica, Singapore, Northern Europe, Ghana, Vancouver, Montreal, Mexico, Portland (U.K.), Trinidad and Tobago (Southern Caribbean), Tangiers (Morocco), Las Palmas, Tenerife, Panama, Hong Kong and Greece, where the Company conducts operations through its related company, Aegean Oil.
 
 
4.
Bunkering fleet comprises both bunkering vessels and barges.
 
 
5.
Figure represents average bunkering fleet number for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days each bunkering tanker or barge was used as part of the fleet during the period divided by the cumulative number of calendar days in the period multiplied by the number of bunkering tankers at the end of the period.   This figure does not take into account non-operating days due to either scheduled or unscheduled maintenance.
 
 
6.
Special Purpose Vessels consists of the Orion, a 550 dwt tanker which is based in our Greek market.

7.
As of September 30, 2012 the Company owned one Panamax tanker, the Aeolos, and one Aframax tanker, the Leader as floating storage facilities in Gibraltar and United Arab Emirates. Additionally, the Company operates a barge, the Mediterranean, as a floating storage facility in Greece and a small tanker, the Tapuit, as a floating storage facility in Northern Europe.  The Company also has on-land storage facilities in Portland, Las Palmas and Panama.
 
The ownership of storage facilities allows the Company to mitigate its risk of supply shortages. Generally, storage costs are included in the price of refined marine fuel quoted by local suppliers. The Company expects that the ownership of storage facilities will allow it to convert the variable costs of this storage fee mark-up per metric ton quoted by suppliers into fixed costs of operating its owned storage facilities, thus enabling the Company to spread larger sales volumes over a fixed cost base and to decrease its refined fuel costs.
 
 
8.
Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities. Working capital excluding cash and debt is defined as current assets minus cash and cash equivalents minus restricted cash minus current liabilities plus short-term borrowings plus current portion of long-term debt.
 
 
9.
Net income as adjusted for non-cash items, such as depreciation, provision for doubtful accounts, restricted stock, amortization, deferred income taxes, loss on sale of vessels, net, unrealized loss/(gain) on derivatives and unrealized foreign exchange loss/(gain), net, is a quantitative standard used to assist in evaluating a company's ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Net income as adjusted for non-cash items is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of the Company's performance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

AEGEAN MARINE PETROLEUM NETWORK INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) (Continued)

 (Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars –
except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)


1. 
Basis of Presentation and General Information:
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. ("Aegean" or "AMPNI") and its subsidiaries (Aegean and its subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company") and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their respective fair values because of the short term nature of these accounts. The fair value of revolving credit facilities is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt of the same remaining maturities. Additionally, the Company considers its creditworthiness in determining the fair value of the revolving credit facilities.  The carrying value approximates the fair market value for the floating rate loans because interest rates are based on the market rates.
 
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, 2011. There have been no material changes to these policies in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

3.   
Trade Accounts Receivables Factoring Agreement

In connection with the factoring agreement, renewed on November 14, 2012 and valid until October 17, 2013, the Company transfers ownership of eligible trade accounts receivable to a third party purchaser without recourse in exchange of cash. Proceeds from the transfer reflect the face value of the account less a discount. The receivables sold pursuant to this factoring agreement are excluded from trade receivables on the consolidated balance sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The third party purchaser has no recourse to our assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. We sold $583,721 of trade accounts receivable during the period ended September 30, 2012, which is net of servicing fees of $1,333.

The Company is expected to complete the construction of the new facility until the end of year 2013 and the payment of the contractual amounts will be made with the progress of the construction.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company has paid advances for construction and related costs of the in-land storage facility amounting to $72,964.

This loss is included under the loss on sale of vessels, net in the consolidated statements of income.

On April 19, 2012, the Company sold the floating storage facility Fos to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser for an aggregate price of $5,103. The loss on sale of $4,030 was calculated as the sale price less the carrying value of the vessel of $8,762 and the carrying value of unamortized dry-docking costs of $371. This loss is included under the loss on sale of vessels, net in the consolidated statements of income.

On May 23, 2012, the newly-constructed bunkering tanker, Symi (ex-QHS-228), with a total cost of $13,855, became operational in the Company's service center in Ghana.

On June 14, 2012, the Company sold the vessel Hope to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser for an aggregate price of $1,442.

10. 
 Goodwill and intangible assets:

Goodwill: Goodwill identified represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired business at the date of acquisition. The Company tests for impairment at least annually (as of December 31), or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, using a two step process. The first step identifies potential impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its book value including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired and the second step is not necessary. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the second step calculates the possible impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying amount, a write-down is recorded.

The decline in our stock price such that the market capitalization was lower than the consolidated net book value as of September 30, 2012 indicated the need for an interim impairment assessment. The Company calculated the fair value of the reporting unit using the discounted cash flow method, and determined that the implied fair value of goodwill exceeded the book value. The discounted cash flows calculation is subject to management judgment related to revenue growth, capacity utilization, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), of approximately 7%, and the future price of marine fuel products. No impairment loss was recorded at September 30, 2012.


Intangible assets: The Company has identified finite-lived intangible assets associated with concession agreements acquired with the purchase of the Portland subsidiary, the Las Palmas and Panama sites and a non-compete covenant acquired with the Verbeke business. The values recorded have been recognized at the date of the acquisition and are amortized on a straight line basis over their useful life.

As at September 30, 2012, the Company was marginally not in compliance with the current ratio covenant contained in two of its short-term borrowings (required to maintain a minimum of 1.10-to-one and maintained 1.09-to-one) and with the working capital covenant contained  in one of its short-term borrowings (required to maintain a minimum of $75.0 million  and maintained $74.5 million). On November 5, 2012, the Company obtained waivers for these covenant breaches. Management has the intention and the ability to cure these breaches in the event that the Company is still not in compliance with these covenants upon the expiry of the existing waivers in February 2013, and has not renegotiated the waivers.

Derivatives and fair value measurements:
   
    The Company uses derivative instruments in accordance with its overall risk management strategy.  The change in the fair value of these instruments measured at the mark-to-market prices is recognized immediately through earnings.

    The following describes the Company's derivative classifications:

    The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to economically hedge its exposure to variability in its floating rate long-term debt.  Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company and the bank agreed to exchange at specified intervals the difference between paying fixed rate and floating rate interest amount calculated by reference to the agreed principal amount and maturity.  Interest rate swaps allow the Company to convert long-term borrowings issued at floating rates to equivalent fixed rates.

    As of September 30, 2012, the Company was committed to the following 15 year interest rate swap arrangement with a call option for the bank to terminate it after 5 years duration, on March 31, 2016:
 
 
Interest Rate Index
 
Principal Amount
   
Fair Value/Carrying Amount of Liability
   
Weighted-average remaining term
   
Fixed Interest Rate
 
                           
U.S. Dollar-denominated Interest Rate Swap
Euribor
  $ 6,573     $ 593       13.51       2.35 %

The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the interest rate swap agreement.  In order to minimize counterparty risk, the Company only enters into derivative transactions with counterparties that are rated A or better by AAA at the time of the transactions.

The following table presents information about our derivative instruments measured at fair value and their locations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

The Company has the right of offset with the counterparty of the fuel pricing contracts, and settles outstanding balances on a quarterly basis.  Therefore, these amounts are presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (on a gross basis: an asset of $1,617 and a liability of $554).
 
The following table presents the effect and financial statement location of our derivative instruments on our condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012:

Interest rate swaps are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments.  Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices.  The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using the discounted cash flow method based on market-based Euribor rates swap yield curves, taking into account current interest rates and the credit worthiness of both the financial institution counterparty and the company. Valuation models require a variety of  inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs.  Fuel pricing contracts are valued using quoted market prices of the underlying commodity.

The Company evaluates the prices provided through the forward curves to calculate the mark-to-market valuation of the fuel pricing derivatives. During the period ended September 30, 2012, the Company entered into fuel pricing contracts for 2,233,968 metric tons.

The Company's derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not require significant management judgment.  Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Legal Matters:  In November, 2005 an unrelated party filed a declaratory action against one of the Company's subsidiaries before the First Instance Court of Piraeus, Greece. The plaintiff asserted that he was instrumental in the negotiation of the Company's eight-year Fuel Purchase Agreement with a government refinery in Jamaica and sought a judicial affirmation of his alleged contractual right to receive a commission of $1.00 per metric ton over the term of the contract. In December 2008, the First Instance Court of Piraeus dismissed the plaintiff's action. While the plaintiff's action was pending in Greece, the plaintiff commenced a new action involving the same cause of action before the Commercial Court of Paris, France, which dismissed that action in June 2009.  Plaintiff's appeal of the dismissal was denied by the Paris Court of Appeal in February 2010. In January, 2012, the unrelated party issued new proceedings before the Paris Commercial Court. These proceedings, after further adjournments, were heard on May 7, 2012. Judgment was issued on June 27, 2012 and the Paris Commercial Court dismissed Mr Varouxis' claims holding in favour of the competence and jurisdiction of the Greek Courts. In July 2012 Mr Varouxis filed a "contredit", a procedure under the French Law where a party appeals to the Court of Appeal seeking leave to refer certain well-defined questions to the European Court of Justice. The Company's position is that this matter remains pending before the Greek Courts and that this new action falls for lack of jurisdiction both actual and territorial of the Paris Court, is unwarranted and lacking in merit. The outcome of this lawsuit, according to the Company, will not have a material effect on its operations and financial position.

In January 2010, a former director of the Company's Ghanaian subsidiary and a company controlled by him, commenced an action in Ghana against two of the Company's subsidiaries for alleged wrongful termination of such director's directorship and deprivation of an opportunity to hold 70% shares in an oil trading company and 30% shares in a shipping agency allegedly agreed to be formed by the parties. The plaintiffs are seeking a payment of approximately 17 months and damages for breach of trust, extreme mental anguish, pain and suffering, and loss of earnings.  Subsequently the Plaintiff filed a modified claim seeking to join the Company as a 3rd Defendant. In November 2011, the High Court of Justice of Commercial Division in Accra, Ghana, issued its Plaintiff's motion and dismissed same. The Company believes that the plaintiffs' claims are unwarranted and that the outcome of this litigation will have no material effect on the Company. Various claims, suits, and complains, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers and agents and insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company's vessels.  Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Environmental and Other Liabilities: The Company accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the Company's exposure. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities for which a provision should be established in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company's Protection and Indemnity ("P&I") insurance policies cover third-party liability and other expenses related to injury or death of crew, passengers and other third parties, loss or damage of cargo, claims arising from collisions with other vessels, damage to other third-party property, and pollution arising from oil or other substances.  The Company's coverage under the P&I insurance policies, except for pollution, are unlimited. Coverage for pollution is $1 billion per vessel per incident.

Equity Incentive Plan:
 
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award which is determined by the closing price of the Company's common stock traded on the NYSE on the grant date, and recognizes the cost as expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the vesting period. The expense is recorded in the general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Aegean is incorporated in a non-taxable jurisdiction and accordingly, no deferred tax assets are recognized for these stock-based incentive awards.
 
All grants of non-vested stock issued under the 2006 Plan are subject to accelerated vesting upon certain circumstances set forth in the 2006 Plan.
 
The following table summarizes the status of the Company's non-vested shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

Common Stock, Treasury Stock and Additional Paid-In Capital:
 
    Aegean was formed on June 6, 2005, under the laws of Marshall Islands. The Company's authorized common and preferred stock since inception consisted of 100,000,000 common shares (all in registered form), par value $0.01 per share and 25,000,000 preferred shares (all in registered form), par value $0.01 per share. The holders of the common shares are entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and to receive all dividends, if any. The Company's board of directors shall have the authority to establish such series of preferred stock and with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions as shall be stated in the resolutions providing for the issue of such preferred stock.
 
    As of September 30, 2012, the Company had no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding and had 48,553,038 and 46,585,399 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.01, issued and outstanding, respectively.
 
    During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company declared and paid dividends of $0.01 per share totaling to $1,394.
 
    In August 2009, the Company authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right") on each outstanding share of its common stock.  The dividend distribution was made to shareholders of record as of August 14, 2009.  The rights will separate from the common stock and become exercisable upon the earlier of (i) ten days following the public announcement or disclosure that a person or group (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired beneficial ownership, or obtained the right to acquire, 15 percent or more of the outstanding common stock or (ii) ten business days following the commencement of, or the announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which would result in such a group or person becoming an Acquiring Person (the "Distribution Date").  On the Distribution Date, each Right holder will be entitled to purchase for $100 (the "Exercise Price") one one-thousandth of a share of a new series of junior participating preferred stock.  In the event that an Acquiring Person acquires more than 15 percent of the outstanding common stock, each Right holder (except the Acquiring Person) will be entitled to purchase at the Exercise Price, shares of common stock having a market value equal to twice the Exercise Price. Any time after the date an Acquiring Person obtains more than 15 percent of the outstanding common shares and before that Acquiring Person acquires more than 50 percent of the outstanding common shares, the Company may exchange each Right owned by all other Rights holders, in whole or in part, for one common share.  The Rights expire on the earliest of (i) August 14, 2019 or (ii) the redemption of the Rights by the Company or (iii) the exchange of the Rights as described above. The Company can redeem the Rights at any time on or prior to the earlier of the tenth business day following the public announcement that a person has acquired ownership of 15 percent or more of the outstanding common shares, or August 14, 2019. The Rights do not have any voting rights. The Rights have the benefit of certain customary anti-dilution protections.  As of September 30, 2012, no such events had occurred, and no rights have been exercised.
 
    On January 27, 2010, the Company completed a public offering in the United States under the United States Securities Act of 1993. In this respect, 4,491,900 shares of common stock at par value $0.01 were issued for $32.75 per share. The proceeds of the public offering, net of underwriting commissions of $7,355 and net of issuance cost of $707 amounted to $139,047.
 
    On May 17, 2010, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to purchase 1,000,000 shares from Mr. Dimitris Melisanidis, the Company's Founder and Director of Corporate Development.  These shares were purchased on May 21, 2010, for an aggregate purchase price of $24,680, which has been recorded as Treasury Stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012.

    On July 20, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

The Company repurchased 967,639 shares under this program for an aggregate purchase price of $4,628 which has been recorded as Treasury Stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2012.

Earnings per Common Share:
 
    The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the granting of non-vested share-based compensation awards (refer to Note 18), for which the assumed proceeds upon grant are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. At September 30, 2012 the Company excluded 1,097,552 non vested share awards as anti-dilutive.
 
    Non-vested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) and participate equally in undistributed earnings are participating securities, and thus, are included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share.
 
    The components of the calculation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:
 
   
Nine Months Ended September 30,
 
   
2011
   
2012

Income Taxes:
 
The Company operates through its subsidiaries, which are subject to several tax jurisdictions. The income tax (expense) / benefit for the periods presented and the respective effective tax rates for such periods are as follows:
 
   
Nine Months Ended September 30,
 
   
2011
   
2012

    (3,303 )     (2,783 )
Effective tax rate
Reconciliation
    25.63 %     31.56 %

Our provision for income taxes for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 was calculated for our Belgian and Canadian companies that are subject to federal and state income taxes.

The reconciliation between the statutory tax expense on income from continuing operations to the income tax benefit/ (expense) recorded in the financial statements is as follows:
 
   
Nine Months Ended September 30,
 
   
2011
   
2012
 
Income tax expense on profit before tax at statutory rates
    (4,181 )     (2,853 )
Effect of permanent differences
    878       70  
Total tax expense
    (3,303 )     (2,783 )

 
Deferred income taxes that derive from our Belgian subsidiaries, are the result of provisions of the tax laws that either require or permit certain items of income or expense to be reported for tax purposes in different periods than they are reported for financial reporting.
 
22. 
Business Segments and Geographical Information:

The Company is primarily a physical supplier in the downstream marine petroleum products industry. Marine petroleum products mainly consist of different classifications of marine fuel oil, marine gas oil and lubricants.
 
      The Company cannot and does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial performance measures by type of marine petroleum product supplied, geographical area served, nature of services performed or on anything other than on a consolidated basis (although the Company is able to segregate revenues on these various bases). As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results on a consolidated basis only. Therefore, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment.
 
The Company is domiciled in the Marshall Islands but provides no services in that location.  It is impracticable to disclose revenues from external customers attributable to individual foreign countries because where the customer is invoiced is not necessarily the country of domicile.  In addition, due to the nature of the shipping industry, where services are provided on a worldwide basis, the country of domicile of the customer does not provide useful information regarding the risk that this disclosure is intended to address.
 
The Company's long-lived assets mainly consist of bunkering tankers which are positioned across the Company's existing territories and which management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews on a periodic basis and reposition among the Company's existing or new territories to optimize the vessel per geographical territory ratio.
 
The Company's vessels operate within or outside the territorial waters of each geographical location and, under international law; shipping vessels usually fall under the jurisdiction of the country of the flag they sail. The Company's vessels are not permanently located within particular territorial waters and the Company is free to mobilize all its vessels worldwide at its own discretion.
 
23. 
Subsequent Events:
 
Sale of vessel: On October 23, 2012, the Company completed the sale and delivered the vessel Aegean Star, a 11,520 dwt double-hull bunkering tanker, to a third-party purchaser. The vessel was sold for $1,836, resulting in a book loss of approximately $1,700.
 
Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement: On November 14, 2012, the Company renewed the Trade Receivables Purchase Agreement with the international bank for a period up to October 17, 2013.
