OceanFreight Inc. (NASDAQ: OCNF), a global provider of marine

Financial Highlights
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 the Company
reported a Net Loss of $1 million or $0.16 basic and diluted loss
per share. Included in these results is a loss of $2.0 million
associated with the sale of M/T Olinda.
Excluding this item, Net Income for the second quarter of 2011
would amount to $1 million or $0.16 cents basic and diluted

Recent Developments
On July 20, 2011, we received notice from the Nasdaq Stock
market that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum
bid price of $1.00 per share and the noncompliance matter is now
closed.
On July 26, 2011, we entered into a definitive agreement for
DryShips Inc. to acquire the outstanding shares of the Company for
a consideration per share of $19.85, consisting of $11.25 in cash
and 0.52326 of a share of common stock of Ocean Rig UDW Inc. or
$8.6 based on the last traded price as of July 25, 2011 of $16.44.
Ocean Rig UDW Inc. is a global provider of offshore ultra deepwater
drilling services that is 78% owned by DryShips. Under the terms of
the transaction, the Ocean Rig shares are to be listed on the
Nasdaq Global Select Market upon the closing of the merger.
Prof. John Liveris, the Chairman of the
Company's Board of Directors, commented:
"The highlight of the most recent developments is OceanFreight's
merger with DryShips. This merger enables our shareholders to
realize the value created from the significant repositioning of the
company's fleet and employment profile. This value unfortunately
was not reflected in our stock price. Additionally, we are pleased
to provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in
Ocean Rig, a growing company in the ultra deep water drilling
sector. We believe that OceanFreight's four-year journey in the
public markets has reached a worthy homeport."

(1) Average number of vessels is the number of vessels that constituted our
fleet for the relevant period, as measured by the sum of the number of days
each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number
of calendar days in that period.
(2) Total voyage days for fleet are the total days the vessels were in our
possession for the relevant period net of off hire.
(3) Calendar days are the total days the vessels were in our possession for
the relevant period including off hire days.
(4) Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily
revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis. Our method of
calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by
dividing gross revenues (net of voyage expenses) by voyage days for the
relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and
fuel costs that are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be
paid by the charterer under a time charter contract, as well as commissions.
TCE is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to
compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance despite
changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and
bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the
periods.
(5) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that our vessels were
available for revenue generating voyage days, and is determined by dividing
voyage days by fleet calendar days for the relevant period.
The following table reflects the calculation of our TCE daily
rates for the periods then ended:

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
OceanFreight Inc. considers EBITDA to represent net income
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted
EBITDA excludes loss on sale of vessels and impairment on vessels.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from
operations, as determined by U.S. GAAP and our calculation of
EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is included in this earnings release because it is
a basis upon which we assess our liquidity position, because it is
used by our lenders as a measure of our compliance with certain
loan covenants and because we believe that it presents useful
information to investors regarding our ability to service and/or
incur indebtedness.
The following table reconciles Net cash provided by operating
activities to EBITDA as adjusted for the effect of the loss from
the sale of vessels and impairment loss:

Forward-Looking Statement
Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views
with respect to future events and financial performance and may
include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies,
future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other
statements, which are other than statements of historical
facts.
The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon
various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further
assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination
of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and
other data available from third parties. Although OceanFreight Inc.
believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because
these assumptions are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible
to predict and are beyond our control, OceanFreight Inc. cannot
assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations,
beliefs or projections.
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 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 drydocking, changes in
OceanFreight Inc.'s operating expenses, including bunker prices,
dry-docking and insurance costs, or actions taken by regulatory
authorities, potential liability from pending or 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 OceanFreight Inc. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.
