The intangible liabilities are being amortized for each vessel over the remaining life of the associated charter. The fair value was estimated by management based on its experience with regard to availability of similar vessels, costs to build new vessels and current market demand. The contracted lease rates were compared to the estimated market lease rates for similar vessels. The intangible liabilities were determined by discounting the difference in the projected lease cash flows using a discount rate of 8.0% and the length of the charter as the relevant time period. Amortization of the intangible liabilities for the 12 initial vessels began on the date following the merger and for the remaining five vessels delivered to the Company after the merger, amortization commenced upon delivery. These intangible liabilities are amortized as an increase of time charter revenue over the remaining term of the relevant charter.</div> </div> 26000 92000 712000 726000 -13122000 -16727000 -19393000 48000000 48000000 13121000 16727000 19393000 -13121000 -16727000 -19393000 148708000 158837000 156268000 17928000 -15322000 -881000 <div> <div> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">5.</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Vessel Deposits </td></tr></table>   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" align="center"> <tr><td width="78%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="7%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr><td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">December 31, 2011</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td style="border-bottom: #000000 1px solid;" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center">December 31, 2010</td> <td valign="bottom"> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Opening balance</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">16,243</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Capitalized interest</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">525</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Release of original deposit</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(15,477</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td></tr> <tr><td valign="top"> Impairment of capitalized interest</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">(1,291</td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">) </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"><td valign="top"> Closing balance</td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">—  </td> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap">  </td></tr> <tr style="font-size: 1px;"><td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td> </td></tr></table> The Company agreed in September 2008 to purchase two 4,250 TEU newbuildings from German interests in the fourth quarter of 2010 for approximately $77,400 each.

anniversary of the merger, one third on the second anniversary and one third on the third anniversary. The vesting dates were amended and a total of 260,000 vested in September and October 2009, a further 260,000 vested in September and October 2010 and the final tranche of 260,000 vested in September and October 2011. The restricted stock units granted to one member of management on November 12, 2008 were to vest over a period of two years; half on the first anniversary of the merger and half on the second anniversary. The vesting date of both tranches was amended and a total of 40,000 vested in September and October 2009 and the remaining 40,000 vested in September and October 2010. The restricted stock units granted to Directors on November 12, 2008, May 18, 2009, March 1, 2010 and March 17, 2011 vested in January 2009, January 2010, January 2011 and January 2012 respectively.   Restricted stock units totalling 15,000 were granted to one member of management on March 17, 2011. 11,250 units vested during September 2011 and the balance of 3,750 units vested during October 2011. The restricted stock units granted to four members of management on September 2, 2011 are to vest over two years; half during September and October 2012 and the remaining half during September and October 2013. In March 2012, the grants made in September 2011 were amended and restated to provide that vesting would occur only when the individual leaves employment, for whatever reason, provided that this is after September 30, 2012 in respect of half of the grant and September 30, 2013 for the other half of the grant. Using the graded vesting method of expensing the restricted stock unit grants, the weighted average fair value of the stock units is recognized as compensation costs in the consolidated statement of income over the vesting period. The fair value of the restricted stock units for this purpose is calculated by multiplying the number of stock units by the fair value of the shares at the grant date, which is discounted for dividends forfeited over the vesting period. The Company has not factored any anticipated forfeiture into these calculations based on the limited number of participants. For the grants issued on August 14, 2008 and November 12, 2008, the share value at the grant date was $7.37 and $2.80 respectively, both of which were the average closing prices for the common stock surrounding those dates. These share values were then discounted by 10.75% (the same rate used to discount the Class C shares in the purchase price allocation) and for the estimated $0.23 quarterly dividend over the relevant vesting periods, to give a fair value at the grant date of $5.50 and $1.76 respectively. For the grant issued on May 18, 2009, the fair value at the grant date was $1.83, which was the closing price for the common stock on that date. The share value has not been discounted. For the grant issued on March 1, 2010, the fair value at the grant date was $1.88, which was the closing price for the common stock on that date. The share value has not been discounted. For the grants issued on March 17, 2011, the fair value at the grant date was $6.15, which was the closing price for the common stock on that date. The share value has not been discounted. For the grants issued on September 2, 2011, the share value at the grant date $3.07, which was the closing price for the common stock on that date. The share value has not been discounted as no dividends were expected to be paid on the common stock at that time. During the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company recognized a total of $565 (2010: $980, 2009: $2,513) in respect of share based compensation costs. As at December 31, 2011, there was a total of $352 (2010: $255) unrecognized compensation costs relating to the above share based awards. The remaining costs are expected to be recognized over a period of 22 months.</div></div> </div>

Under the two class method, net income, if any, is first reduced by the amount of dividends declared in respect of common shares for the current period, if any, and the remaining earnings are allocated to common shares and participating securities to the extent that each security can share the earnings assuming all earnings for the period are distributed. For the years ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 no dividend was declared on income for those years. The dividends paid in the year ended December 31, 2009 related to 2008 net income. The Class B common shareholders' dividend rights are subordinated to those of holders of Class A common shares. Net income for the relevant period is allocated based on the contractual rights of each class of security and as there was insufficient net income to allow any dividend on the Class B common shares no earnings were allocated to Class B common shares. Losses are only allocated to participating securities in a period of net loss if, based on the contractual terms, the relevant common shareholders have an obligation to participate in such losses. No such obligation exists for Class B common shareholders and, accordingly, any losses would only be allocated to the Class A common shareholders. On August 24, 2010 39,531,348 Public Warrants exercisable at $6.00 to purchase Class A common shares and 5,500,000 Sponsor Warrants, exercisable on a cashless basis, expired. At December 31, 2011, there were 6,188,088 Class A Warrants to purchase Class A common shares at an exercise price of $9.25 outstanding which are due to expire on September 1, 2013. In addition, there were 167,886 restricted stock units granted and unvested as part of management's equity incentive plan and as part of the Directors' compensation for 2011. As of December 31, 2011 only Class A and B common shares are participating securities. For the year ended December 31, 2010 the diluted weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding is the same as the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding. The diluted weighted average number of shares excludes the outstanding restricted stock units and the outstanding warrants as these would have an antidilutive effect. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009, the diluted weighted average number of shares includes the incremental effect of outstanding stock based incentive awards but excludes the effect of outstanding warrants as these were antidilutive.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="92%" align="center"> <tr><td width="65%"> </td>

The Company is consequently highly dependent on the performance by CMA CGM of its obligations under the charters. The container shipping industry is volatile and is currently experiencing a cyclical downturn and many container shipping companies are reporting losses. CMA CGM is discussing with its lenders the rescheduling of certain repayments and the adjustment of certain covenants to take account of the cyclical nature of the container shipping industry. The Company has experienced continued and from time to time, increased delays in receiving charterhire from CMA CGM, where between one and four instalments have been outstanding. Under the charter contracts, charterhire is due to be paid every 15 days in advance on the 1st and 16th of each month. As at December 31, 2011, two periods of charterhire, due on December 1 and December 16, 2011, were outstanding amounting to $13,314. This was received in January 2012. As at close of business on April 12, 2012, the latest practicable date prior to the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, two periods of charterhire, due on March 16 and April 1, 2012, were outstanding amounting to $13,314. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, nor to the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If CMA CGM is unable to reach agreements with its lenders and ceases doing business or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under the Company's charters, Global Ship Lease's business, financial position and results of operations would be materially adversely affected as it is probable that, should the Company be able to find replacement charters, these would be at significantly lower daily rates and for shorter durations than currently in place. In this situation there would be significant uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(ii)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Credit Facility </td></tr></table> A further consequence of the current cyclical downturn is that there have been declines in charter free market values of containerships. Under the terms of the Company's credit facility, the Leverage Ratio, being the ratio of outstanding drawings under the credit facility and the aggregate charter free market value of the secured vessels which are under charter, cannot exceed 75%. On November 30, 2011, due to the downturn in market values, the Company announced a waiver from its lenders of the requirement to perform the Leverage Ratio test until November 30, 2012. Should charter free market values not improve, a further waiver or other relief may be required in respect of the test as at November 30, 2012. If relief in respect of the test due as at November 30, 2012 is required and is not obtained and the Leverage Ratio is above 75%, the lenders may declare an event of default and accelerate some or all of the debt or require the Company to provide additional security which would raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company was compliant with all of its financial covenants at December 30, 2011 and at the date of issuance of these financial statements. As a result of the waiver, the relevant debt is classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities, or any other adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.</div> </div>

Actual results could differ from those estimates.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(c)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Cash and cash equivalents </td></tr></table> Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(d)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Restricted cash </td></tr></table> Cash and cash equivalents subject to restrictions are excluded from cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet and are presented as restricted cash.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(e)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Accounts receivable </td></tr></table> The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on a history of past write-offs, collections and current credit conditions. The Company does not generally charge interest on past-due accounts unless the accounts are subject to legal action, and accounts are written off as uncollectible when all reasonable collection efforts have failed. Accounts are deemed as past-due based on contractual terms. Allowances for doubtful accounts amount to $ nil as of December 31, 2011 (2010: $ nil).   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(f)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Vessels </td></tr></table> Up to the date of the merger described in note 1, vessels were recorded at their acquisition cost, less an amount allocated to dry dock component, less accumulated depreciation. From the date of the merger, the vessels have been recorded at their fair value at the date of the merger, less a proportion of the negative goodwill arising at the time of the merger allocated to these vessels, less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. In connection with the merger, the Company recognised an intangible asset arising from the comparison of the acquisition prices in the asset purchase agreement between the Company as buyer and CMA CGM as seller and the estimated fair values at the merger date of the vessels yet to be purchased. This intangible asset was transferred to the cost of the appropriate vessel on delivery and as all such vessels have now been delivered, no intangible asset remains in respect of these vessels. Subsequent expenditures for major improvements and upgrading are capitalized, provided they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction of vessels or as part of the prefinancing of the acquisition of vessels are capitalized. Interest capitalized in the year ended December 31, 2011 was $ nil (2010: $525 and 2009: $523). Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred.   Vessels are depreciated to their estimated residual value using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which are reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure they reflect current technology, service potential and vessel structure. The useful lives are estimated to be 30 years from first delivery from the shipyard. Prepayments and costs directly related to the future acquisition of vessels are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as vessel deposits.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(g)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Drydocking costs </td></tr></table> Vessels are drydocked approximately every five years for major repairs and maintenance that cannot be performed while the vessels are operating. Costs directly associated with the required regulatory inspection of the vessel, its hull and its machinery and for the defouling and repainting of the hull are capitalized as they are incurred and depreciated on a straight line basis over the period between drydocks. Upon initial purchase, an element of the cost of a vessel is allocated to a drydock component which is amortized on a straight line basis to the anticipated next dry docking date.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(h)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Intangible assets </td></tr></table> Vessel purchase options Cash consideration paid or transferred for the acquisition of purchase options to acquire vessels at a fixed purchase price are recognized as intangible assets in an amount up to the difference, as at the transaction date, between (i) the amount paid for the options plus the purchase price of the vessels and (ii) the fair value of the vessels plus the fair value of attached charters. The fair value of the vessel is assessed based on independent broker valuations. The fair value of a charter attached to the vessel is assessed based on market rates compared to the contracted attached charter rates for the life of the charter. Vessel purchase agreements In connection with the merger (see note 1), the Company recognised an intangible asset arising from the comparison of the contracted acquisition prices and the estimated fair value at the date of the merger of the vessels to be purchased. This intangible asset was not amortized and was transferred to the cost of each appropriate vessel on its purchase. Impairment Intangible assets are reviewed individually for impairment annually or more frequently due to events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the asset might be impaired. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset's net book value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(i)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Intangible liabilities – charter agreements </td></tr></table> In connection with the merger (see note 1), the Company recognised an intangible liability using the market approach wherein the Company's actual charter rates were compared to market rates at the merger date. These intangible liabilities, recognizing the below market rates as at the date of merger, are amortized as an increase of time charter revenue over the remaining term of the relevant charters.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(j)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Long-lived assets </td></tr></table> Fixed assets such as vessels are reviewed individually for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows from the asset over its estimated remaining useful life is less than its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recorded equal to the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is the net present value of future cash flows discounted by an appropriate discount rate. The decline in charter free vessel values referred to in note 2(b)(ii) was seen as an indicator of potential impairment of the carrying value of the Company's vessels. Accordingly, an impairment test, based on expected undiscounted cash flows by vessel, was performed as at September 30, 2011 and a further review as at December 31, 2011. A test of impairment was also undertaken as at December 31, 2010. The assumptions used involve a considerable degree of estimation. Actual conditions may differ significantly from the assumptions and thus actual cash flows may be significantly different to those expected with a material effect on the recoverability of each vessel's carrying amount. The most significant assumptions made for the determination of expected cash flows are (i) charter rates on expiry of existing charters, which are based on a reversion to the historical mean for each category of vessel, adjusted to reflect current and expected market conditions (ii) off-hire days, which are based on actual off-hire statistics for the Company's fleet (iii) operating costs, based on current levels escalated over time based on long term trends (iv) dry docking frequency, duration and cost and (v) estimated useful life which is assessed as a total of 30 years from first delivery from the shipyard. In the case of an indication of impairment, the results of a recoverability test would also be sensitive to the discount rate applied. Based on the assumptions made, the expected undiscounted future cash flows exceed the vessels' carrying amounts as of September 30, 2011, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and accordingly no impairment has been recognised.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(k)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Derivative instruments </td></tr></table> Interest rate hedges The Company has entered into certain hedging agreements in connection with its borrowings. Interest rate derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated and qualifies as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company's interest rate derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Income within "Unrealized (loss) gain on interest rate derivatives". Cash settlements of interest rate derivative instruments are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Income within "Realized loss on interest rate derivatives". Cash flows related to interest rate derivatives (including payments and periodic cash settlements) are included within "Net cash (used in) investing activities". The fair value of derivatives is presented on the face of the consolidated balance sheet under the line item "Derivative instruments" and is split into current and non-current portions based on the net cash flows expected within one year.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(l)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Deferred finance costs </td></tr></table> Costs incurred in connection with obtaining long term debt and in obtaining amendments to existing facilities are recorded as deferred financing costs and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the estimated duration of the related debt.

Holders of these mandatorily redeemable preferred shares are entitled to receive a dividend equal to 3-month U.S. dollar Libor plus 2% on the original issue price and rank senior to the Class A and Class B common shares with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(n)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Classification of long term debt </td></tr></table> Long term debt is classified within current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(o)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Other comprehensive income (loss) </td></tr></table> Other comprehensive income (loss), which is reported in the consolidated statement of equity, consists of net income (loss) and other gains and losses affecting equity that, under U.S. GAAP, are excluded from net income (loss).   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(p)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Revenue recognition and related operating expense </td></tr></table> The Company charters out its vessels on time charters which involves placing a vessel at a charterer's disposal for a period of time during which the charterer uses the vessel in return for the payment of a specified daily hire rate. Such charters are accounted for as operating leases and therefore revenue is recognized on a straight line basis as the average revenues over the rental periods of such charter agreements, as service is performed, except for loss generating time charters, in which case the loss is recognized in the period when such accumulated loss is determined. The Company has no loss generating time charters. Under time charter arrangements the Company, as owner, is responsible for all the operating expenses of the vessels, such as crew costs, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and such costs are expensed as incurred.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(q)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Foreign currency transactions </td></tr></table> The Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar as substantially all revenues and a majority of expenditures are denominated in U.S. dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet dates. Expenses paid in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the transaction date.

The Company's vessels are flagged in Bahamas, Cyprus and Panama and are liable for tax based on the tonnage of the vessel. The cost, which is included within operating expenses, amounted to $124, $130 and $109 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Cyprus subsidiaries are liable for income tax payable on any interest income earned from non-shipping activity. The Company has one subsidiary in the United Kingdom, where the principal rate of corporate income tax is 26% (2010: 28%, 2009: 28%). This subsidiary earns management and other fees from fellow group companies. The Company accounts for deferred income taxes using the liability method which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, based upon temporary timing differences that arise between the financial statement and tax bases of recording assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. The net deferred tax asset is adjusted by a valuation allowance where appropriate, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. At December 31, 2011 a deferred tax asset of $29 (2010: $265) was recognized relating to stock based compensation costs charged to the consolidated statement of income in respect of unvested shares. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based solely on the technical merits of the position.   <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr><td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">(v)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Dividends </td></tr></table> Dividends are recorded in the period in which they are declared by the Company's Board of Directors.

This amendment does not affect valuation practices used by the Company. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an effect on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company other than minor disclosure amendments. In June 2011, FASB issued an amendment on the presentation and disclosure of comprehensive income (Topic 220). An entity will have the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The pronouncement eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendment is effective for annual periods, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have an effect on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company. Management do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.</div> </div>
