E. Nikolas Tavlarios, President, commented, "During the second quarter, we continued to achieve important progress executing our strategy to enhance Aegean's operational and financial performance in a challenging market environment. Based on the steady improvement in our results over the past year and a half, we increased adjusted EBITDA 34% compared to the year-earlier period while strengthening the Company's future prospects. Specifically, we further expanded our global reach by entering into a strategic alliance that enables Aegean to establish an initial footprint in mainland China. We also recently announced expansion plans in Barcelona, Spain. This new and attractive market provides significant growth potential as we seek to take advantage of our scalable and high quality logistics infrastructure following the completion of our fully funded newbuild program in the second quarter. Complementing the growth in our global full-service platform, we took proactive measures to improve our cost structure with the sale of additional non-core assets. With an expansive and more efficient integrated marine fuel logistics chain, combined with a strong financial foundation, we remain well positioned to strengthen Aegean's leading brand as a global independent supplier of marine fuel and expand the Company's future earnings power."
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $85.4 million and working capital of $77.4 million. Non-cash working capital, or working capital excluding cash and debt, was $470.6 million as of June 30, 2012.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $86.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Net income, as adjusted for non-cash items (as defined in Note 9) was $14.8 million for the period.
Net cash used in investing activities was $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, mainly due to the advances for other fixed assets under construction.
Net cash used in financing activities was $21.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, primarily driven by the pay down of net borrowings.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $295.8 million in available liquidity, which includes unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $85.4 million and available undrawn amounts under the Company's working capital facilities of $210.4 million, to finance working capital requirements.
Spyros Gianniotis, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Aegean's results for the second quarter of 2012 reflect enhanced fleet utilization and sales volume growth in our core markets located in Greece and the U.A.E. as well as contributions from our new market in Panama. Our considerable built-in delivery capacity combined with the strong demand for our comprehensive marine fuel services bodes well for Aegean to create significant operating leverage as we maintain our disciplined approach in extending credit to high-quality customers. In furthering our commitment to expand Aegean's earnings potential, we intend to utilize our balance sheet strength, a core differentiator for our Company, to enter additional markets that meet management's strict criteria and drive long-term value for shareholders."

EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and our calculation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. EBITDA is included herein because it is a basis upon which the Company assesses its operating performance and because the Company believes that it presents useful information to investors regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.

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:

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, Cape Verde, Tenerife, Panama and Greece, where the Company conducts operations through its related company, Aegean Oil.

Special Purpose Vessels consists of the Orion, a 550 dwt tanker which is based in our Greek market.

As of June 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.

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.

Adjusted Operating Income is a non-GAAP financial measure we use to evaluate our underlying results.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.
The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "forecast," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," "expect" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, our management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe 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, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include our ability to manage growth, our ability to maintain our business in light of our proposed business and location expansion, our ability to obtain double hull secondhand bunkering tankers, the outcome of legal, tax or regulatory proceedings to which we may become a party, adverse conditions in the shipping or the marine fuel supply industries, our ability to retain our key suppliers and key customers, material disruptions in the availability or supply of crude oil or refined petroleum products, changes in the market price of petroleum, including the volatility of spot pricing, increased levels of competition, compliance or lack of compliance with various environmental and other applicable laws and regulations, our ability to collect accounts receivable, changes in the political, economic or regulatory conditions in the markets in which we operate, and the world in general, our failure to hedge certain financial risks associated with our business, our ability to maintain our current tax treatments and our failure to comply with restrictions in our credit agreements and other factors. Please see our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.

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 six months ended June 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:
Except as updated below, the significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 2 of the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements" included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04, "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs", ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurements", ("ASC 820"), providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the ASC 820 disclosure requirements. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The impact on the Company's disclosures was not material.

3. Trade Accounts Receivables Factoring Agreement
In connection with the factoring agreement, signed on October 17, 2011 and valid for one year, 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 $397,999 of trade accounts receivable during the period ended June 30, 2012, which is net of servicing fees of $919.

6. Advances for Other Fixed Assets under Construction:
Fujairah in-land storage facility: In July 2010, the Company assumed a 25-year terminal lease agreement from a related party, which will be automatically renewed for an additional 25 years, with the Municipality of Fujairah, and to build an in-land storage facility in the United Arab Emirates with total estimated costs of $105,000. 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 June 30, 2012, the Company has paid advances for construction and related costs of the in-land storage facility amounting to $62,968. The contractual obligations arising from signed contracts relating to this project after June 30, 2012 are estimated as $13,831 for 2012 and $26,485 for 2013.

On April 10, 2012, the Company sold the vessel Vera to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser for an aggregate price of $605. The loss on sale of $697 was calculated as the sale price less the carrying value of the vessel of $952 and the carrying value of unamortized dry-docking costs of $350. 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. The gain on sale of $509 was calculated as the sale price less the carrying value of the vessel of $541 and the carrying value of unamortized dry-docking costs of $392. This loss is included under the loss on sale of vessels, net in the consolidated statements of income.

The amortization for dry-docking costs is included in cost of revenue and in selling and distribution cost in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, according to their function. The amortization of financing costs is included in interest and finance costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
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 June 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 6%, and the future price of marine fuel products. No impairment loss was recorded at June 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.

12. 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:
Interest Rate Swap
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 June 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:

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:

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 June 30, 2012, the Company entered into fuel pricing contracts for 1,155,518 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.
17. Capital Leases:
The Company leases Barge PT 22 under a capital lease, with a gross amount capitalized of $4,778 and accumulated depreciation of $612 as at June 30, 2012.
The annual future minimum lease payments under the capital lease, of Barge PT 22, together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments required to be made after June 30, 2012, are as follows:

18. 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.

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 June 30, 2012, no such events had occurred, and no rights have been exercised.

20. 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 June 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:

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

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:
On August 3, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Meroil, a petroleum operator who operates a terminal, with 32 storage tanks, for the storage of petroleum products, to secure onshore fuel storage capacity on an exclusive basis in the port of Barcelona. The onshore fuel storage capacity secured by the Company total approximately 50,000 cubic meters, while it also has an option to secure additional onshore storage capacity to ensure the ample supply of marine fuel.
