(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

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 was formed on April 21, 2008, under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Costamare was incorporated as part of a reorganization to acquire the ownership interest in 53 ship-owning companies (the “predecessor companies”) owned by the Konstantakopoulos Family (Vasileios Konstantakopoulos and his three sons Messrs. Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos, Achillefs Konstantakopoulos and Christos Konstantakopoulos, together the “Family”). The reorganization was completed in November 2008. On November 4, 2010, Costamare completed its initial public offering in the United States under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In this respect, 13,300,000 common shares at par value $0.0001 were issued for $12.00 per share. The net proceeds of the initial public offering were $145,543.

The accompanying interim consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. These interim consolidated unaudited 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-month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the Company owned and operated a fleet of 43 and 51 container vessels with a total carrying capacity of approximately 218,584 TEU and 236,033 TEU, respectively, through wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated in the Republic of Liberia, providing 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. As of March 31, 2011, three of the above vessels were held for sale (Note 7).

At March 31, 2011, Costamare had 79 wholly owned subsidiaries, all incorporated in the Republic of Liberia out of which, 51 operate vessels, 14 sold their vessels in 2009 and 2010 and became dormant, ten were established in 2010 and 2011 to be used for the acquisition of ten newbuilds (Note 6 and Note 17) and four were established to be used for future vessel acquisitions.

Revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 derived from significant charterers (in percentages of total revenues) were as follows:


	2010	2011

A	36%	37%
B	19%	17%
C	18%	16%
D	9%	11%
Total	82%	81%

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, 2010.

Transactions with Related Parties:

(a)

Costamare Shipping Company S.A. (the “Manager” or “Costamare Shipping”): Costamare Shipping is a ship management company wholly-owned by Mr. Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and as such is not part of the consolidated group of the Company, but is a related party. With effect from the consummation of the Company’s Initial Public Offering on November 4, 2010 (Note 1), Costamare Shipping receives a daily fee of $0.850 for each containership that is subject to any charter other than a bareboat charter ($0.700 prior to November 4, 2010,) and $0.425 in the case of a containership subject to a bareboat charter, prorated for the calendar days the Company owns each containership, for providing the Company with general administrative services, certain commercial services, director and officer related insurance services and the services of officers (but not for payment of such officer’s compensation). With effect from the consummation of the Company’s Initial Public Offering on November 4, 2010 (Note 1), Costamare Shipping receives $1,000 annually on a prorated basis for the services of the Company’s officers in aggregate. Furthermore, Costamare Shipping is providing the Company’s vessels flying the Greek and the Hong Kong flags, with technical, commercial, insurance, accounting, provisions, sale and purchase, crewing and bunkering services, subcontracting the technical management of the latter to Shanghai Costamare Ship Management Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Costamare”), also a related party, under separate management agreements executed between Costamare Shipping and Shanghai Costamare for each vessel in exchange for a daily fixed fee. The Company also pays to Costamare Shipping (i) a flat fee of $700 for the supervision of the construction of any newbuild vessel contracted by the Company and (ii) 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. Costamare Shipping has also undertaken the commercial management of the Company’s vessels flying flags other than Greek and Hong Kong under separate commercial management agreements with each respective ship-owning company. The technical management of such vessels is performed by CIEL Shipmanagement S.A. (“CIEL”), a related party, pursuant to separate agreements signed between each ship-owning company and CIEL in exchange for a daily fixed fee.

The initial term of the management agreement expires on December 31, 2015, automatically renews for a one-year period and will be extended in additional one-year increments until December 31, 2020, at which point it will expire. The management fee per day for each containership is fixed until December 31, 2012 and will thereafter be annually adjusted upwards by 4%, with further annual increases permitted to reflect the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar and/or material unforeseen cost increases. After the initial term expires on December 31, 2015, the Company will be able to terminate the management agreement, subject to a termination fee, by providing written notice to Costamare Shipping at least 12 months before the end of the subsequent one-year term. The termination fee is equal to (a) the lesser of (i) five and (ii) the number of full years remaining prior to December 31, 2020, times (b) the aggregate fees due and payable to Costamare Shipping during the 12-month period ending on the date of termination; provided that the termination fee will always be at least two times the aggregate fees over the 12-month period described above.

Management fees charged by the Manager in the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 were $2,223 and $2,815, respectively and are included in management fees–related parties in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The balance due to the Manager at March 31, 2011 amounted to $1,871 and is separately reflected in Due to related parties in the accompanying 2011 consolidated balance sheet.

Furthermore, on September 5, 2008, the Company assumed from Costamare Shipping the interest rate collar swap agreement discussed in Note 15 (b) at its then fair value, which was a liability of $7,887. The amount was payable by Costamare Shipping within 30 months from September 5, 2008. The amount was paid by the Manager on December 1, 2010.

During the period from January 1 to March 31, 2011, the Company acquired eight secondhand containerships: Prosper, MSC Pylos, Zagora, Marina, Konstantina, MSC Sudan II, MSC Sierra II and MSC Namibia II.

These three newbuilds are scheduled to be delivered between November 2013 and January 2014, and the Company entered into ten-year charter party agreements from their delivery from the shipyard at a daily rate of $43 each.

15.

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 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 proactively and efficiently 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, since that time, 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 prospective and retrospective effectiveness for these interest rate swaps are being performed on a quarterly basis. 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 stockholders’ equity and recognized to the 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 Statement of Income immediately.

The interest rate swap agreements designed as hedging instruments, as of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, were as follows:


Effective date	Termination date	Notional amount on effective date	Fixed rate (Costamare pays)	Floating rate (Costamare receives)	Fair value Dec. 31, 2010	Fair value Mar. 31, 2011

Notional amount $85,000 amortizing zero-cost collar (2.23% – 6.00%) with knock-in floor sold at 2.23% and struck at 6.00%, as a 10-year forward hedge, covering the period from February 2007 to February 2017. The agreement guarantees that the interest rate payable on the Company’s loans throughout the 10-year period will always remain between 2.23% and 6.00% excluding margin.

The interest rate swaps included in the table above are for the Credit Facility discussed in Note 9 and the term loans discussed in Note 9.2.1, 9.2.2, 9.2.3 and 9.2.6.

(b)

Interest Rate Swaps that Do Not Meet the Criteria for Hedge Accounting: As of both December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding one interest rate swap agreement for the purpose of managing risks associated with the variability of changing LIBOR-related interest rates. Such agreement did not meet hedge accounting criteria and therefore changes in their fair value are reflected in earnings. More specifically, the swap has a Notional amount $100,000 non-amortizing zero-cost collar (1.37% – 6.00%) with a knock-in floor sold at 1.37% and struck at 6.00%, as a nine-year forward hedge, covering the period from September 2008 to March 2017. The fair value of this swap when acquired from Costamare Shipping was a liability of $7,887 (2008: liability of $11,460) (Note 3 (a)). At December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the fair value of this swap was a liability of $12,987 and $10,175, respectively and is included in Fair value of derivative in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In the three months period ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the realized ineffectiveness of the interest rate swaps discussed under (a) and (b) above was $nil and $nil, respectively.

(c)

Foreign Currency Agreements: As of March 31, 2011, the Company was engaged in nine Euro/U.S. dollar contracts totaling $27,000 at an average forward rate of Euro/U.S. dollar 1.2983 expiring in monthly intervals in 2011.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company was engaged in 16 Euro/U.S. dollar contracts totaling $36,000 at an average forward rate of Euro/U.S. dollar 1.3269 expiring in monthly intervals in 2011.

At December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the fair market value of these foreign currency agreements was an asset of $458 and $2,377, respectively, which is included in Fair value of derivatives in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Financial Instruments:

(a)

Interest Rate Risk: The Company’s interest rates and loan repayment terms are described in Note 9.

(b)

Concentration of credit risk: Financial Instruments consist principally of cash, trade accounts receivable, investments and derivatives. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, primarily with high credit rated financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk. The Company limits the exposure of non performance by counterparties to derivative instruments by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings, and performing periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the counterparties.

(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 investments discussed in Note 4, determined through Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, equates to the amounts that would be received by the Company in the event of sale of these investments. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements discussed in Note 15 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 15(a) and (b) equates to the amount that would be paid by the Company to cancel the agreements. As at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, the fair value of these interest rate swaps in aggregate amounted to a liability of $107,942 and $95,747, respectively.

The fair market value of the forward contracts discussed in Note 15(c) determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, amounted to an asset of $458 and $2,377, 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.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2011
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)

17.

Subsequent Events:

(a)

Declaration and Payment of Dividends: In April 2011, the Company declared a dividend for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011, of $15,075 or $0.25 per share paid on May 12, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of trading of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on April 28, 2011.

(b)

New Credit Facility: On April 7, 2011, Costamare Inc., as borrower, concluded a credit facility with a bank, for an amount of $140,000 to finance part of the acquisition and construction cost of hulls S4010 and S4011 (Note 6). The credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread and is repayable in 16 consecutive quarterly installments, the first 15 (1-15) in the amount of 1/30 of the loan outstanding commencing at the time of delivery of hulls S4010 and S4011, and final installment in an amount equal to the 50% of the loan outstanding at the time of delivery of hulls S4010 and S4011. On April 18, 2011 the Company drew the amount of $26,740 in order to partly refinance the first pre-delivery installment of hulls S4010 and S4011 (Note 6).

(c)

Credit Facility Repayment and Draw Down: On April, 4 2011, the Company, following the sale of vessel MSC Namibia, repaid the amount of $6,610 under the Facility (Note 9.1) and the mortgage on the vessel MSC Namibia was released. Furthermore, on April 11, 2011, the Company drew down the amount of $80,853 under the Facility, which equaled the undrawn balance of the Facility as of March 31, 2011 of $74,242 (Note 9.1) and the amount of $6,610 discussed above. The draw down was secured by a first priority mortgage on vessel Cosco Hellas.

(d)

Newbuilding Contracts: In April 2011, the Company, through its five wholly-owned subsidiaries Undine Shipping Co., Terance Shipping Co., Quentin Shipping Co., Raymond Shipping Co., and Sander Shipping Co., contracted with a shipyard for the construction and purchase of five newbuild containerships, each of approximately 8,800 TEU capacity. The five newbuild vessels are scheduled for delivery in the first three quarters of 2013 and the Company entered into long-term time charter agreements for the employment of each of the above newbuild vessels immediately upon delivery from the shipyard. Both the contract price and the daily charter rate are similar to those agreed on September 21, 2010 for the three approximately 9,000 TEU vessels discussed in Note 6.

(e)

Sale of Vessels: On April 15, 2011, the Company delivered to their scrap buyers the vessels MSC Namibia and MSC Sudan (Note 7) and on May 4 2011, the vessel MSC Sierra (Note 7) at an aggregate price of $20,387 and recognized an aggregate gain of $10,771.

(f)

New Swap Agreements: In April and May 2011, the Company concluded four interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposure, as follows:
