For purposes of comparison, the Company reported net income of $12.0 million, or $0.25 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were 46,297,185 and 46,056,474 respectively. The weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were 47,009,059 and 47,365,777 respectively.

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011, increased by 32.8% to $1,774.9 million compared to $1,336.6 million for the same period in 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, sales of marine petroleum products increased by 32.6% to $1,766.3 million compared to $1,331.8 million for the year-earlier period. Net revenue, which equals total revenue less cost of goods sold and cargo transportation expenses, increased 2.5% to $70.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $68.3 million in the year-earlier period.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $8.3 million, or 43.2%, to $10.9 million as compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2010. Operating expenses, excluding the cost of fuel and cargo transportation costs, increased by $9.4 million, or 19.1%, to $58.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $49.1 million for the same period in 2010. This increase was principally due to an expanded logistics infrastructure during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010.

E. Nikolas Tavlarios, President, commented, "Our results for the second quarter reflect an improved gross spread as management remains focused on strengthening Aegean's geographical sales mix and increasing operating efficiencies. While overall market conditions across the global marine fuel supply industry remain challenging, we continue to achieve notable progress implementing our strategy to enhance future performance. Specifically, we solidified our presence in the Canary Islands by establishing operations in Tenerife in the second quarter. This new and attractive market complements our presence in Las Palmas and provides our customers with greater flexibility in fulfilling their marine fuel needs. We also commenced physical supply and onshore storage operations in Panama as we intend to take advantage of the Panama Canal's projected expansion, which will significantly increase ship capacity. Complementing the growth in Aegean's integrated marine fuel logistics chain, we continue to take proactive measures to improve our cost structure, including the sale of non-core assets. During the second quarter, management continued to redeploy bunkering vessels from their existing locations to other markets within Aegean's global network to optimize performance and execute more profitable transactions with top counterparties."

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $42.6 million and working capital of $212.0 million. Non-cash working capital, or working capital excluding cash and debt, was $481.1 million as of June 30, 2011.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  Net income, as adjusted for non-cash items, was $12.6 million for the period.

Net cash used in investing activities was $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, mainly due to the construction of the new-building vessels and the storage facility in Fujairah.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $23.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily driven by the increase in short-term borrowings.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $274.3 million in available liquidity, which includes unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and available undrawn amounts under the Company's short-term working capital facilities, to finance working capital requirements.  Furthermore, as of June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $8.0 million available under its secured term loans to finance the construction of its new double-hull bunkering tankers.

Spyros Gianniotis, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "Our strong financial foundation continues to provide a distinct competitive advantage, particularly in a challenging market environment. With substantial liquidity highlighted by total working capital credit facilities of approximately $880 million and a net-debt-to-capital ratio of 56.2% at the end of the quarter, we remain well positioned to meet the intensive working capital requirements inherent in our industry as we further expand our global marine fuel platform for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders."

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 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. 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. 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 customer. For 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, Cape Verde, Panama 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.
The Company operates three Panamax tankers, the Ouranos, the Fos II and the Aeolos, and one Aframax tanker, the Leader as floating storage facilities in the United Arab Emirates, Ghana and Gibraltar. 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 and Las Palmas.
 
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.

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") 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 for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

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, 2010.

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.
 
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, 2010.

Reclassification

Our statements of income for the period ended June 30, 2011 and the comparative periods have been reclassified to conform to the analysis and presentation required for the implementation of a new reporting system for the Company. This reclassification provides a better representation of our consolidated results of operations according to the industry practice and has no effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in fuel and the interest rate risk deriving from its loan agreements.  The derivative instruments are classified according to the accounting guidance provided by US GAAP for derivative instruments and hedging activities.   The Company currently does not apply hedge accounting to its derivative instruments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) (Continued)

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




Interest Rate Swap: Changes in the estimated fair value of the interest rate swap are recognized as components of interest and finance costs in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The fair value of the contract is recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheet in non-current liabilities.

Fuel Pricing Contracts: Changes in the estimated fair value of the fuel pricing contracts are recognized as components of cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statement of income.  The fair value of the outstanding derivative asset/liability is separately presented in the Company's consolidated balance sheet in current assets/liabilities.
The Company classifies cash flows related to derivative financial instruments within cash used in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

For more information on our derivatives, see Note 11.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

In May 2011, a new guidance was issued to provide a fair value framework. Some amendments to the fair value measurement of nonfinancial assets by best use and valuation premise, the financial assets and liabilities by offsetting the risk positions, the premiums and discounts applied, the instruments classified in the reporting entity's shareholder's equity and new disclosure requirements were addressed. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The management is currently evaluating the impact on the Company's financial statements.

  In December 2010, new guidance addressed questions about performing the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount.  For those entities with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test must be performed if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists.  The guidance was effective for the interim reporting period in 2011.  This guidance did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements as of June 30, 2011.

The amortization for drydocking costs is included under selling and distribution expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. The amortization of financing costs is included in interest and finance costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

9.       Goodwill and intangible assets:

Goodwill indentified represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the 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 became lower than the consolidated net book value as of June 30, 2011 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, and the future price of marine fuel products. No impairment loss was recorded at June 30, 2011.

11. 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 are recognized immediately through earnings.  For additional information on our derivatives accounting policy, see Note 2.

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, 2011, the Company was committed to the following interest rate swap arrangement:
 
 
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
  $ 7,858     $ 11       14.76       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:

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.  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.

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.

Rent expense under operating leases was $859 and $1,732 for the period ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

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. The Company does not believe that the outcome of this lawsuit will have a material effect on the Company.

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 $7,000 and damages for breach of trust, extreme mental anguish, pain and suffering, and loss of earnings.  The Company believes that the plaintiffs's claims are unwarranted and that the outcome of this litigation will have no material effect on the Company.

Various claims, suits, and complaints, 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 these condensed 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.       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 salaries, wages and related costs in the accompanying 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 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 unvested restricted stock outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

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 June 30, 2011, the Company had no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding and had 46,746,920 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.01, issued and outstanding.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company declared and paid dividends of $0.01 per share totaling to $934.
 
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 become exercisable and trade separately from the common stock 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.  In such circumstances, each right entitles shareholders to buy one one-thousandth of a share of a new series of junior participating preferred stock at a purchase price of $100 per share.  In the event that the rights are triggered, shareholders of record will be able to exercise each right to receive, upon payment of the exercise price, shares of common stock having a market value equal to twice the exercise price.  An Acquiring Person will not be entitled to exercise any rights.  As of June 30, 2011, 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. 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.

Concurrently with the public offering, 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 sheet as of June 30, 2011.
 
 
19.   Earnings per Common Share:

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the granting of non-vested share-based compensation awards (refer to Note 17), 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.
 
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:

20.   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:

 
   
Six Months Ended June 30,
 
   
2010
   
2011
 
Current tax expense
    (2,940 )     (1,073 )
Net deferred tax benefit/ (expense)
    (711 )     (346 )
Income tax expense
    (3,651 )     (1,419 )
                 
Effective tax rate
    32.02 %     33.55 %

 
Our provision for income taxes for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 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:

   
Six Months Ended June, 30,
 
   
2010
   
2011
 
Income tax expense on profit before tax at statutory rates
    (3,798 )     (1,389 )
Effect of permanent differences
    147       (30 )
Total tax benefit/ (expense)
    (3,651 )     (1,419 )
 
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.
 
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, review 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.  Subsequent Events:
