Third Quarter 2008 Highlights Q3 2008 Net Income of $23.5 million EPS of $0.81 basic and $0.79 diluted EPS of $0.76 basic and $0.74 diluted excluding Other Income T/C coverage currently at 68% 16 vessels or vessel equivalents fixed on time charter 15 vessels under time charter 1 synthetic time charter contracted revenue for 2009 expected to be $184 million EBITDA represents net income plus net interest expense and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is included because it is used by management and certain investors as a measure of operating performance. EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as a common performance measure to compare results across peers. Management of the Company uses EBITDA as a performance measure in consolidating monthly internal financial statements and is presented for review at our board meetings. The Company believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as the shipping industry is capital intensive which often brings significant cost of financing. EBITDA is not an item recognized by GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other indicator of a company's operating performance required by GAAP. The definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies.

Industry Outlook Q3 2008 Market Performance Spot Crude transportation rates maintained strength in Q3 Positive factors included hurricanes Gustav and Igor, and decreased fleet size due to conversions to offshore applications and dry bulk Negative factors were continued softness in demand in the US from weaker economic conditions and high gasoline prices, as well as low refining margins Outlook for Remainder of 2008 The IEA has gradually revised downward its global oil demand growth forecast to 0.5% from 2.3% at the beginning of the year. OPEC announced 1.5 MMB/D of cuts going into effect on November 1 which could affect tanker demand and rates later in Q4 2008 and going forward into 2009 However, not withstanding lower demand forecasts, the tanker market has been balanced in 2008 to date and management expects it is likely to remain so in the fourth quarter with normal seasonal increases in demand.

Industry Outlook Continued Outlook for 2009 Demand growth in 2009 is expected by most forecasts to be below 1% On the supply side 2009 is the peak of the delivery cycle for the tanker orderbook, and fleet growth is expected to increase significantly The combination of the above factors indicates that a base case 2009 rate environment is expected to be lower than in 2008 Wild card will be scrapping as owners of single hull vessels prepare for a looming 2010 deadline Source: PIRA
