COSTAMARE INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 and 2017

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

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Costamare Inc. (“Costamare”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Costamare is organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

On November 4, 2010, Costamare completed its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) in the United States under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). On March 27, 2012, October 19, 2012, December 5, 2016 and May 31, 2017, the Company completed four follow-on public offerings in the United States under the Securities Act and issued 7,500,000 shares, 7,000,000 shares, 12,000,000 shares and 13,500,000 shares, respectively, par value $0.0001, at a public offering price of $14.10 per share, $14.00 per share, $6.00 per share and $7.10 per share, respectively. During 2015, the Company issued 448,800 shares to Costamare Shipping Company S.A. and 149,600 to Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. (Note 3). During 2016, the Company issued 598,400 shares, in aggregate, to Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. (Note 3). Additionally, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 299,200 shares to Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. On July 6, 2016, the Company implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (the “Plan”) (Note 14). Under the plan, the Company has issued to its common stockholders 4,194,448 shares, in aggregate. As at June 30, 2017, the aggregate issued share capital was 105,990,448 common shares. At June 30, 2017, members of the Konstantakopoulos Family owned, directly or indirectly, approximately 53.8% of the outstanding common shares, in the aggregate. Furthermore, (i) on August 7, 2013, the Company completed a public offering of 2,000,000 shares of its 7.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), par value $0.0001, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share, (ii) on January 21, 2014, the Company completed a public offering of 4,000,000 shares of its 8.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), par value $0.0001, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share and (iii) on May 13, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of 4,000,000 shares of its 8.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), par value $0.0001, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share.

As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the Company owned and/or operated a fleet of 53 and 54 container vessels, respectively, with a total carrying capacity of approximately 314,423 and 323,407 twenty-foot equivalent units (“TEU”), respectively, through wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated in the Republic of Liberia. The Company provides worldwide marine transportation services by chartering its container vessels to some of the world’s leading liner operators under long-, medium- and short-term time charters.

At June 30, 2017, Costamare had 67 wholly-owned subsidiaries, all incorporated in the Republic of Liberia, except five incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, derived from significant charterers individually accounting for 10% or more of revenues (in percentages of total revenues) were as follows:

	2016			2017
A		27	%		29	%
B		30	%		29	%
C		13	%		16	%
D		18	%		20	%
Total		88	%		94	%

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2017.

COSTAMARE INC.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2016 and 2017

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

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of 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-month period ended June 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

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, 2016. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, except as discussed below.

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11 - Inventory (Topic 330) effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 and interim periods within this fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance has had no impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and net assets for any period.

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-07 - Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 and interim periods within this fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance has had no impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and net assets for any period.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” clarifying the method used to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of income. Under the new standard, an entity must identify the performance obligations in a contract, the transaction price and allocate the price to specific performance obligations to recognize the revenue when the obligation is completed. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts. The standard will be effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The Company will adopt the standard as of January 1, 2018 and is in the process of validating aspects of its preliminary assessment of ASU 2014-09, determining the transitional impact and completing other items required for the adoption of ASU 2014-09.  The Company is considering the business assumptions, processes, systems and controls to fully determine revenue recognition and disclosure under the new standard. The Company’s initial assessment may change as the Company continues to review the new guidance.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 - Business Combinations (Topic 805) to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisition (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under current implementation guidance, the existence of an integrated set of acquired activities (inputs and processes that generate outputs) constitutes an acquisition of business. This ASU provides a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities does not constitute a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. The amendments of this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period (i) for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the ASU, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance and (ii) for transactions in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03 - Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The ASU amends the Codification for SEC staff announcements made at recent Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meetings. The SEC guidance that specifically relates to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements was from the September 2016 meeting, where the SEC staff expressed their expectations about the extent of disclosures registrants should make about the effects of the new FASB guidance as well as any amendments issued prior to adoption, on revenue (ASU 2014-09), leases (ASU 2016-02) and credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13) in accordance with SAB Topic 11.M. Registrants are required to disclose the effect that recently issued accounting standards will have on their financial statements when adopted in a future period. In cases where a registrant cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption, then additional qualitative disclosures should be considered. The ASU incorporates these SEC staff views into ASC 250 and adds references to that guidance in the transition paragraphs of each of the three new standards. The adoption of this new accounting guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Transactions with Related Parties:

(a) Costamare Shipping Company S.A. (“Costamare Shipping”) and Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. (“Costamare Services”): Costamare Shipping is a ship management company wholly-owned by Mr. Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and, as such, is not part of the consolidated group of the Company, but is a related party. Costamare Shipping provides the Company with general administrative services and certain commercial services.

Costamare Shipping, itself or through Shanghai Costamare Ship Management Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Costamare”), or through or together with third party sub-managers, provides technical, crewing, commercial, provisioning, bunkering, sale and purchase, chartering, accounting, insurance and administrative services in respect of the Company’s containerships in exchange for a daily fee for each containership.

On March 3, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated management agreement with Costamare Shipping (the “Group Management Agreement”) which, among other things, extended the term of the agreement such that it automatically renewed for 10 consecutive one-year periods until December 31, 2025 (rather than five consecutive periods until December 31, 2020), removed the annual 4% increase of the fee payable in respect of each containership managed by Costamare Shipping, and in respect of the flat fee for the supervision of each newbuild ordered by the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2015, provided for an annual fee to Costamare Shipping of $2,500 and 598,400 shares payable quarterly in arrears. No separate payment is made for the services of the Company’s executive officers (prior to 2015, the Company paid Costamare Shipping $1,000 annually for such services). The Group Management Agreement has been terminated on November 2, 2015.

On November 27, 2015, the Company amended and restated the Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering, to extend registration rights to Costamare Shipping and Costamare Services each of which have received or may receive shares of its common stock as fee compensation under the Group Management Agreement (until November 2, 2015) or the Services Agreement.

Pursuant to the Group Management Agreement (which was effective until November 2, 2015), the Framework Agreement and the Services Agreement (each of which became effective on November 2, 2015), Costamare Shipping and Costamare Services received (i) for each containership which is not subject to a bareboat charter a daily fee of $0.956 since January 1, 2015, and for each containership subject to a bareboat charter a daily fee of $0.478 since January 1, 2015, in each case prorated for the calendar days the Company owned each containership and for the three-month period following the date of the sale of a vessel, (ii) a flat fee of $787.4 for the supervision of the construction of any newbuild vessel contracted by the Company, (iii) a fee of 0.75% on all gross freight, demurrage, charter hire, ballast bonus or other income earned with respect to each containership in the Company’s fleet and (iv) an annual fee of $2,500 and 598,400 shares as noted above. Fees under (i) and (ii) may be annually adjusted upwards to reflect any strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar and/or material unforeseen cost increases.

After the initial term of the Framework Agreement and the Services Agreement, which expired on December 31, 2015, the Company is able to terminate both agreements, subject to a termination fee, by providing written notice to Costamare Shipping or Costamare Services, as applicable, at least 12 months before the end of the subsequent one-year term. The termination fee is equal to (a) the number of full years remaining prior to December 31, 2025, times (b) the aggregate fees due and payable to Costamare Shipping or Costamare Services, as applicable, during the 12-month period ending on the date of termination (without taking into account any reduction in fees under the Framework Agreement to reflect that certain obligations have been delegated to a sub-manager or a sub-provider, as applicable); provided that the termination fee will always be at least two times the aggregate fees over the 12-month period described above.

On January 7, 2013, Costamare Shipping entered into a co-operation agreement (the “Co-operation Agreement”) with third-party ship managers V.Ships Greece Ltd. (“V.Ships Greece”), pursuant to which the two companies established a ship management cell (the “Cell”) under V.Ships Greece.

The Cell also offers ship management services to third-party owners. Costamare Shipping passes to the Company the net profit, if any, it receives pursuant to the Co-operation Agreement as a refund or reduction of the management fees payable by the Company to Costamare Shipping (i) prior to November 2, 2015, under the Group Management Agreement, and (ii) since November 2, 2015, under the Framework Agreement.

17. Taxes:

Under the laws of the countries of incorporation for the vessel-owning companies and/or of the countries of registration of the vessels, the companies are not subject to tax on international shipping income; however, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which are included in Vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The vessel-owning companies with vessels that have called on the United States during the relevant year of operation are obliged to file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service. The applicable tax is 50% of 4% of U.S.-related gross transportation income unless an exemption applies. Management believes that, based on current legislation the relevant vessel-owning companies are entitled to an exemption under Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

18. Derivatives:

(a) Interest rate swaps that meet the criteria for hedge accounting: The Company, according to its long-term strategic plan to maintain stability in its interest rate exposure, has decided to minimize its exposure to floating interest rates by entering into interest rate swap agreements. To this effect, the Company has entered into interest rate swap transactions with varying start and maturity dates, in order to manage its floating rate exposure.

These interest rate swaps are designed to hedge the variability of interest cash flows arising from floating rate debt, attributable to movements in three-month or six-month USD LIBOR. According to the Company’s Risk Management Accounting Policy, after putting in place the formal documentation required by ASC 815 in order to designate these swaps as hedging instruments as from their inception, these interest rate swaps qualified for hedge accounting. Accordingly, only hedge ineffectiveness amounts arising from the differences in the change in fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item are recognized in the Company’s earnings. Assessment and measurement of the effectiveness of these interest rate swaps are performed at each reporting period. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the fair value gain or loss associated with the effective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized initially in “Other comprehensive income” and recognized to the consolidated statement of income in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in the consolidated statement of income immediately.

At December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with an outstanding notional amount of $783,403 and $719,750, respectively. The fair value of these interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 amounted to a liability of $10,459 and a liability of $5,745, respectively, and these are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The maturity of these interest rate swaps range between June 2018 and May 2023.

The estimated net amount that is expected to be reclassified within the next 12 months from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to earnings in respect of the settlements on interest rate swaps amounts to $8,601.

(b) Interest rate swaps that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting: As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with an outstanding notional amount of $199,846 and $94,799, respectively, for the purpose of managing risks associated with the variability of changing LIBOR-related interest rates. Such agreements did not meet hedge accounting criteria and, therefore, changes in its fair value are reflected in earnings. The fair value of these interest rate swaps at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, was a liability of $4,855 and a liability of $1,996, respectively, and these are included in Fair value of derivatives in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

19. Financial Instruments:

(a) Interest rate risk: The Company’s interest rates and loan repayment terms are described in Note 10.

(b) Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (included in current and non-current assets), equity method investments, equity securities, debt securities and derivative contracts (interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts). The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with financial institutions of high credit ratings. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative instruments; however, the Company limits its exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable, equity method investments and equity and debt securities by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ and investees’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.

(c) Fair value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of financial assets and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and the foreign currency agreements discussed in Note 18 above are determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined.

The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements discussed in Note 18(a) and (b) equates to the amount that would be paid by the Company to cancel the agreements. As at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the fair value of these interest rate swaps in aggregate amounted to a liability of $15,314 and $7,741, respectively.

The fair market value of the forward contracts discussed in Note 18(c) determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, amounted to a liability of $85 and an asset of $416, respectively.

The following tables summarize the hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of assets and liabilities by valuation technique on a recurring basis as of the valuation date.
