EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does 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 may not be comparable to that recorded 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. The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA for the periods presented:

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. Gross spread on marine petroleum products, gross spread of MFO and gross spread on lubricants are not items recognized by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit or any other indicator of a Company's operating performance required by U.S. GAAP. The Company's definition of gross spread may not be the same as that used by other companies in the same or other industries.  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:
 
 
   
For the Three Months Ended March 31,
 
   
2013
   
2014
 
             
Sales of marine petroleum products
    1,558,389       1,673,738  
Less: Cost of marine petroleum products sold
    (1,495,205 )     (1,600,470 )
Gross spread on marine petroleum products
    63,184       73,268  
Less: Gross spread on lubricants
    (1,059 )     (902 )
Gross spread on marine fuel
    62,125       72,366  
                 
Sales volume of marine fuel (metric tons)
    2,367,077       2,705,823  
                 
Gross spread per metric ton of marine fuel sold (U.S. dollars)
    26.2       26.7  
 
 
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, Vancouver, Portland (U.K.), Trinidad and Tobago (Southern Caribbean), Tangiers (Morocco), Las Palmas, Tenerife, Panama, Hong Kong, Barcelona, Algeciras, US East Coast  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.
 

 
5

 
 
 
6.
Special Purpose Vessels consists of the Orion, a 550 dwt tanker which is based in our Greek market.
 
 
7.
The Company owns one Aframax tanker, the Leader as a floating storage facility in the United Arab Emirates, 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 operates on-land storage facilities in Portland, Las Palmas, Tangiers, Panama, U.S.A. and Barcelona.
 
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, impairment losses, unrealized loss/(gain) on derivatives and unrealized foreign exchange loss/(gain), net, is used to assist in evaluating our  ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Net income as adjusted for non-cash items is not recognized 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)
 
 (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 three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.
 
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, 2013.
 
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. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for the floating rate loans due to their variable interest rate, being EURIBOR or LIBOR. LIBOR and EURIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans and hence floating rate loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.


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, 2013. There have been no material changes to these policies in the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, except for an additional accounting policy, which is as follows:
 
Assets Held for Sale: It is the Company's policy to dispose of vessels when suitable     opportunities occur and not necessarily to keep them until the end of their useful life. The Company classifies vessels as being held for sale when the following criteria are met: (i) management possessing the necessary authority has committed to a plan to sell the vessels, (ii) the vessels are available for immediate sale in their present condition, (iii) an active program to find a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the vessels have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the vessels is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year and (v) the vessels are being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to their current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Vessels classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These vessels are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Furthermore, in the period a vessel meets the held for sale criteria in accordance with ASC 360-10, a loss is recognized for any reduction of the vessel's carrying amount to its fair value less cost to sell. A loss of $4,062 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014. No such losses were identified for the three months ended March 31, 2013 (Note 7).

Advances for Other Fixed Assets under Construction:

Fujairah in-land storage facility: In July 2010, the Company assumed a 25-year terminal lease agreement, as a result of the transfer of all the shares of Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation from a related party. The agreement, signed by the Company's subsidiary, Aegean Oil Terminal Corporation, and the Municipality of Fujairah will be automatically renewed for an additional 25 years and was assumed to build an in-land storage facility in the United Arab Emirates. The Company is expected to complete the construction of the new facility in the second half of 2014 and the payments of the contractual amounts are made with the progress of the construction.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company has paid advances for construction of the in-land storage facility amounting to $158,711 and we capitalized interest of amount $9,000. The contractual obligations arising from signed contracts relating to this project after March 31, 2014 are approximately $10,000 for 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the movement of the account vessels was as follows:
     
Vessel Cost
   
Accumulated Depreciation

Balance, December 31, 2013
  $ 517,225       (95,696 )   $ 421,529

Balance, March 31, 2014
  $ 511,755       (93,739 )   $ 418,016  
 
On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to sell Aegean Flower, a 6,523 dwt double hull bunkering tanker, to a third-party purchaser, for a contracted sales price of $2,000. The vessel was delivered to its new owners on April 1, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the vessel Aegean Flower was classified as asset held for sale and was recorded at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.  The resulting impairment loss of $4,062 is included under "Vessel impairment charge" in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
 
On March 25, 2014, the Company's subsidiary, Aegean Barges NV, took delivery of a Belgian-flagged 4,100 dwt (built in 2006) in-land waterway double hull bunkering tanker, the Elveba (renamed "New Jersey"), to deploy in the A.R.A. region. The vessel was purchased from a third-party purchaser for $7,587 (€5,500,000).
 
On March 28, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the vessel Aegean X to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser for an aggregate price of $1,700. The gain on sale of $493 was calculated as the net sales price less the carrying value of the vessel of $460 and the carrying value of unamortized dry-docking costs of $747. This gain is included under the gain on sale of vessels in the consolidated statements of income.

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 calculated the fair value of the reporting unit using the discounted cash flow method, and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its book value including the goodwill. 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 March 31, 2014.

Derivatives and fair value measurements:

The Company uses derivatives in accordance with its overall risk management strategy.  The changes in the fair value of these derivatives are 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 December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, 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 enters into derivative transactions with counterparties that are rated AAA or at least A at the time of the transactions.
 
The Company uses fuel pricing contracts to hedge exposure to changes in the net cost of marine fuel purchases. The Company has the right of offset with the counterparty of the fuel pricing contracts, and settles outstanding balances on a monthly basis.  Therefore, these amounts are presented on a net basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (on a gross basis: an asset of $61 and a liability of $900, as of December 31, 2013 and an asset of $861 and a liability of $2,627 as of March 31, 2014).

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. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs.
 
The Company uses observable inputs to calculate the mark-to-market valuation of the fuel pricing derivatives. Fuel pricing contracts are valued using quoted market prices of the underlying commodity. During the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, the Company entered into fuel pricing contracts for 299,400 metric tons and 581,000 metric tons, respectively.
 
The Company's derivatives trade in over the counter markets, and as such, model inputs are generally observable 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 $0.01 per metric ton of marine fuel over the term of the contract. In December 2008, the First Instance Court of Piraeus dismissed the plaintiff's action as vague and inadmissible, however the Company appealed that decision on the grounds that there was no contract between the Company and the plaintiff and that the court lacked jurisdiction. While the 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. The plaintiff's appeal of the dismissal was denied by the Paris Court of Appeal in February 2010. In January 2012, the plaintiff commenced a new action relating to the same allegations before the Commercial Court of Paris, which was dismissed on June 27, 2012 in favor of the competence and jurisdiction of the Greek courts. In July 2012, the plaintiff filed a "contredit," an appeal procedure under French law. On November 2013, the Court held that the matter is not pending in Greece that would allow the French courts to decline jurisdiction to the benefit of the Greek proceedings. As a consequence the case is to return to the Commercial Court of Paris which should have to examine the admissibility of Mr Varouxis' claim in France. The Company believes that this matter fails for lack of jurisdiction and is unwarranted and lacking in merit.  The Company believes that the outcome of this lawsuit will not have a material effect on its operations and financial position.
 
In May, 2013, on the order of STX Corporation ("STX Corp.")., the Company supplied bunkers to the vessel UNICO SIENNA in the Port of Singapore.  The invoice for those bunkers totaled approximately $323.  STX Corp. has filed for reorganization in Korea, and has filed for protection under Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company believes that has maritime liens against this vessel, and has arrested the UNICO SIENNA in Panama to enforce its maritime lien against it. The Company intends to exercise its remedies for recovery of the unpaid amounts and believes that it will recover the full amount due.
 
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 $1,000,000 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 requisite service 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 nonvested 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 three months ended March 31, 2014:

Total compensation cost of $881 was recognized and included in the general and administrative expenses under accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
 
As of March 31, 2014, there was $3,522 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation awards. This unrecognized compensation at March 31, 2014, is expected to be recognized as compensation expense over a weighted average period of 1.6 years as follows:

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 using the two class method. 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.
 
As of March 31, 2013 and 2014, the Company excluded 939,881 and 1,044,166 non vested shares, respectively, 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 treasury stock method is used in calculating diluted earnings per share for the Notes as the Company expects to settle the principal in cash.
 
The components of the calculation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:

21.
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.
 
22.
Sale of Subsidiary:

On February 25, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party to sell its ownership interest (55.5%) in Aegean Oil Terminals (Panama). The remaining interest had been previously presented as a non-controlling interest on the consolidated financial statements. Under the terms of the agreement, an amount of $6,318 was paid to the Company. Also, an amount of $3,384 was distributed from Aegean Oil Terminals as dividends to Aegean and an amount of $2,713 to the non-controlling interest in accordance with the ownership interests. The Company's gain from the sale of its ownership interest in Aegean Oil Terminals is included in Gain on sale of subsidiary on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income. The net effect of the cash received from the sale and the transfer of cash balances to the owners is reflected in Proceeds from Sale of subsidiary, net of cash surrendered in the investing activities of the consolidated statement of cash flows.
 
Under a separate agreement with the purchaser, the Company simultaneously agreed to lease from the purchaser fuel storage facilities at the ports of Panama.
