Disclosures and Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains certain statements that may be deemed to be “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act. All statements, other than statements of
historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, projects,
believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including, without limitation, the outlook for fleet
utilization and shipping rates, general industry conditions including bidding activity, future operating
results of the Company’s vessels, capital expenditures, asset sales, expansion and growth
opportunities, bank borrowings, financing activities and other such matters, are forward-looking
statements. Although the Company believes that its expectations stated in this presentation are based
on reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of the world economies and
currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values,
changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled
drydockings, changes in our vessel operating expenses, including drydocking, crewing and insurance
costs, or actions taken by regulatory authorities, ability of our counterparties to perform these
obligations under sales agreements and charter contracts on a timely basis, potential liability from
future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes
due to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists. Risks and uncertainties are further
described in reports filed by Box Ships Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes:
1. When vessels are acquired with time charters attached and the charter rate on such charters is above or below the
then current market rates, the Company allocates the purchase price of the vessel and the attached time charter on
a relative fair value basis. The asset or liability recorded is amortized over the remaining period of the time charter
as a reduction or addition, respectively, to time charter revenue.
