COSTAMARE INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2013 and 2014

(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 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 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 (“Initial Public Offering”) in the United States under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). On March 27, 2012 and on October 19, 2012, the Company completed two follow-on public offerings in the United States under the Securities Act and issued 7,500,000 shares and 7,000,000 shares, respectively, par value $0.0001, at a public offering price of $14.10 per share and $14.00 per share, respectively, increasing the issued share capital to 74,800,000 shares. At September 30, 2014, members of the Family owned, directly or indirectly, approximately 64.8% of the outstanding common shares, in the aggregate. Furthermore, 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 and 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.

As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the Company owned and/or operated a fleet of 52 and 54 container vessels, respectively, with a total carrying capacity of approximately 295,872 TEU and 317,821 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 September 30, 2014, Costamare had 91 wholly-owned subsidiaries, all incorporated in the Republic of Liberia, except for five incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, out of which 54 operate vessels, 31 have sold or disposed their vessels and are dormant, one was established to be used for future vessel acquisitions, one was established to participate in investments (Note 10) and four to participate in future investments (Note 22(a)).

Revenues for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, derived from significant charterers individually accounting for 10% or more of revenues (in percentages of total revenues) were as follows:

	2013	2014
A	31%	26%
B	24%	29%
C	17%	14%
D	11%	18%
Total	83%	87%

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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, 2013, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2014.

These unaudited interim condensed 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

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, 2013. There have been no material changes to these policies in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, however the Company adopted the accounting policies relating to (i) sale and leaseback transactions and finance leases and (ii) investments in equity and debt securities.

Finance leases: Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840 classifies leases as finance or operating. Finance leases are accounted for as the acquisition of an asset and the incurrence of an obligation by the lessee and as a sale or financing by the lessor. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases. The determination of whether an arrangement is (or contains) a capital lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at the inception date and is assessed in accordance with the criteria set in ASC 840-10-25-1.

Finance leases are capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the lower between the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease liability. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the consolidated statement of income. The lease payments are allocated between liability and finance costs to achieve a constant rate on the capital balance outstanding.  If the lease agreement transfers the ownership of the leased asset to the lessee, then the asset is depreciated over its useful economic life (estimated at 30 years), else it is depreciated over the lease term.

For sale and lease back transactions, whereas the fair value of the asset sold is more than its carrying amount, any indicated loss on the sale is in substance a prepayment of rent and thus, in accordance with ASC 840-40-35-4, the Company defers this prepaid rental and amortizes it over the lease term. In case the fair value of the asset sold is less than its carrying amount, any indicated loss on the sale is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as incurred.

Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Investments in Equity and Debt Securities: The Company classifies debt securities and equity securities pursuant to the provisions of ASC 320-10-25-1 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, into one of the following three categories:

a. Trading securities. If the Company acquires a security with the intent of selling it in the near term, the security is classified as trading.

b. Available-for-sale securities. Investments in debt securities and equity securities that have readily determinable fair values not classified as trading securities or as held-to-maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale securities.

c. Held-to-maturity securities. Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity only if the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.

In order to determine the applicable category, the Company considers the following: (i) if the Company intends to sell the security, (ii) whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its (entire) cost, and (iii) whether the security has a readily determinable fair value or not.

Debt and equity securities which are decided on inception to be accounted for as trading securities or available-for-sale securities are initially recognized at cost and subsequently are measured at fair value. Declines in the fair value of trading securities are recognized in earnings, while declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income and affect earnings when the securities are disposed. Held-to-maturity debt securities are initially recognized at cost and subsequently are measured at amortized cost, less impairment. The amortized cost is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity.  Management evaluates debt securities held-to-maturity for other than temporary impairment at each reporting date. In evaluating whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company considers several factors including, but not limited, to the following: (i) the extent of the duration of the decline; (ii) the reasons for the decline in value and, (iii) the financial condition of and near-term prospects of the issuer. An investment in debt or equity securities is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, in which case, the Company recognizes in earnings an impairment loss equal to the difference between their carrying value and their fair value.

Equity securities with no readily determinable fair value, which relate to an entity in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for pursuant to the provisions of ASC 325-20 “Investments – Other – Cost Method Investments”. The Company initially recognizes such equity securities at cost. Subsequently, any dividends distributed by the investee to the Company are recognized as income when received, but only to the extent they represent net accumulated earnings of the investee since the Company’s initial recognition of the investment. Net accumulated earnings are recognized as income by the Company only if they are distributed to the investor as dividends. Any dividends received in excess of net accumulated earnings are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Management evaluates the equity securities for other-than-temporary-impairment at each reporting date. An investment in cost method equity securities is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, in which case the Company recognizes in earnings an impairment loss equal to the difference between their carrying value and their fair value. Consideration is given to significant deterioration in the earnings performance, or business prospects of the investee, significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, significant adverse change in the general market condition in which the investee operates, as well as factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern.

New accounting pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: The FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (collectively, the Boards) jointly issued a standard that will supersede virtually all of the existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards and  is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. The standard establishes a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer (with limited exceptions), regardless of the type of revenue transaction or the industry. The standard’s requirements will also apply to the recognition and measurement of gains and losses on the sale of some non-financial assets that are not an output of the entity’s ordinary activities (e.g., sales of property, plant and equipment or intangibles). Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue; information about performance obligations; changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates. Management is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on Company’s financial position and performance.

 3. 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. Costamare Shipping provides the Company with general administrative services, certain commercial services, director and officer related insurance services and the services of the Company’s officers. Costamare Shipping receives $1,000 annually on a prorated basis for the services of the Company’s officers in aggregate.

Costamare Shipping, itself or through Shanghai Costamare Ship Management Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Costamare”), which is also controlled by Mr. Konstantakopoulos, or through or together with a third party sub-manager, provides technical, crewing, commercial, provisioning, bunkering, sale and purchase, chartering, accounting, insurance and administrative services in exchange for a daily fee for each containership. Up to April 2013, Costamare Shipping also provided such services through Ciel Shipmanagement S.A. (“CIEL”), another company controlled by Mr. Konstantakopoulos. We refer to Costamare Shipping and Shanghai Costamare and, up to April 2013, CIEL as our “affiliated managers”.

Pursuant to the management agreement, Costamare Shipping receives a daily fee for each containership as follows: (i) for each containership (subject to any charter other than a bareboat charter) it receives a daily fee of $0.919 since January 1, 2014 ($0.884 for 2013), prorated for the calendar days the Company owns each containership and for the three-month period following the date of the sale of a vessel and (ii) for each containership subject to a bareboat charter it receives a daily fee of $0.460 since January 1, 2014 ($0.442 for 2013), prorated for the calendar days the Company owns each containership and for the three-month period following the date of the sale of a vessel.

i.   A term loan, in order to refinance the loans discussed in Notes 11.2.4, 11.2.8 and 11.2.10, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $126,600, and (ii) an amount which when aggregated with the amount drawn under the revolving credit facility as of the drawdown date of the term loan facility, does not exceed 50% of the market value of the relevant vessels securing the facility. The term loan is available for a single drawdown through November 30, 2014 and is repayable in 20 equal consecutive quarterly installments in the amount of approximately $2,221 plus a balloon payment at the final maturity date, which will be the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the drawdown date or November 19, 2019 (the “Final Maturity Date”).

The newbuild vessels MSC Azov, MSC Ajaccio and MSC Amalfi were delivered to the Company on January 14, 2014, March 14, 2014 and April 28, 2014, respectively (Note 6). At the same time, the Company agreed with a financial institution to refinance the then outstanding balance of the loans relating to MSC Azov, MSC Ajaccio and MSC Amalfi, by entering into a ten-year sale and leaseback transaction for each vessel upon their respective deliveries. These vessels were sold for an amount of $85,572 each and leased back for a period of ten years.

The sale and leaseback transactions were classified as finance leases. Furthermore, as the fair value of each vessel sold was in excess of its carrying amount, the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount was considered as prepaid lease rentals. In this respect, an aggregate amount of $49,817 (including the net settlements on interest rate swaps qualifying for hedge accounting of $6,604) was transferred to prepaid lease rentals.

The total value of the three vessels at the inception of the Finance lease transactions amounted to $256,716. The depreciation charged during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, amounted to $4,258 and is included in Depreciation in the accompanying 2014 consolidated statement of income. As of September 30, 2014, the net book value of the three vessels amounted to $252,458 and is separately reflected as Finance leased assets, in the accompanying 2014 consolidated balance sheet.

The balance of prepaid lease rentals, as of September 30, 2014, is analyzed as follows:

18. Taxes:

Under the laws of the countries of the companies’ incorporation and/or vessels’ registration, 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 because they satisfy the relevant requirements, namely that (i) the related vessel owning companies are incorporated in a jurisdiction granting an equivalent exemption to U.S. corporations and (ii) over 50% of the ultimate stockholders of the vessel owning companies are residents of a country granting an equivalent exemption to U.S. persons.

19. 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 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.

(b) Interest rate swaps that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting: As of both December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the Company had one interest rate swap agreement outstanding 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 its fair value are reflected in earnings. More specifically, the swap has a notional amount of $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. At December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the fair value of this swap was a liability of $15,406 and $9,809, respectively and is included in Fair value of derivatives in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 (c) Foreign currency agreements: As of September 30, 2014 the Company was engaged in nine Euro/U.S. dollar forward agreements totaling $22,500 at an average forward rate of Euro/U.S. dollar 1.300 expiring in monthly intervals up to June 2015.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding Euro/USD foreign currency agreements.

20. Financial Instruments:

(a) Interest rate risk: The Company’s interest rates and loan repayment terms are described in Note 11.

(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 interest rate swap agreements and the foreign currency agreements discussed in Note 19 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 19(a) and (b) equates to the amount that would be paid by the Company to cancel the agreements. As at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the fair value of these interest rate swaps in aggregate amounted to a liability of $103,212 and $69,922, 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.
