The following unaudited pro forma results present consolidated information as if the United and K-Sea acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 2010.

The pro forma results should not be considered indicative of the results of operations or financial position of the combined companies had the acquisitions been consummated as of January 1, 2010, and are not necessarily indicative of results of future operations of the Company.
