(**) On July 25, 2006, we signed a memorandum of agreement to purchase m/v Torm Tekla. The vessel was delivered to us on September 4, 2006 and was renamed m/v Aristides N.P.

The loan is payable in 23 consecutive quarterly installments of $265,000 each commencing three months from drawdown, with a final balloon payment of $2,155,000 payable with the final installment. The loan has similar covenants to the rest of the Company's loans.

RISK FACTORS Any investment in our stock involves a high degree of risk. We have identified a number of risk factors which you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. These risk factors are incorporated by reference into this registration statement from our annual report on Form 20-F filed on June 30, 2006. Some of these risk factors contained in our annual report on Form 20-F relate principally to the industry in which we operate and our business in general. Other risks relate to the securities market for and ownership of our common stock. Any of these risk factors could significantly and negatively affect our business, financial condition, operating results and common stock price. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our operations or our performance. Words such as "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. These statements involve known and unknown risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding: o our future operating or financial results; o future, pending or recent acquisitions, business strategy, areas of possible expansion, and expected capital spending or operating expenses; and o drybulk and containership market trends, including charter rates and factors affecting vessel supply and demand. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, or the documents to which we refer you in this prospectus, to reflect any change in our expectations with respect to such statements or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds from sales of shares of our common stock by the selling shareholders. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are registering shares of our common stock under the Securities Act for sale by the selling shareholders. As used in this prospectus, "selling shareholders" include certain entities identified in the footnotes to the table in the section captioned "Selling Shareholders" as the holders of record of the indicated securities and include the respective pledgees, assignees, successors-in-interest, donees, transferees or others who may later hold the selling shareholders' Euroseas common stock and would be identified in an amendment to this prospectus at the appropriate time. We have agreed to pay the costs and fees of registering the shares, but the selling shareholders will pay any brokerage commissions, discounts or other expenses relating to the sale of the shares. The selling shareholders will sell their shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares: o ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; o block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; o an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; o privately negotiated transactions; o settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; o broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; o a combination of any such methods of sale; o through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or o any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440. In connection with the sale of Euroseas common stock or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%). We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Because Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by a prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under a prospectus. Each Selling Shareholder has advised us that it has not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the common stock. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders. We have agreed to keep a prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The common stock will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the common stock may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person. Euroseas will make copies of any prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of a prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale. In addition, BTG Investments, LLC ("BTG"), a wholly owned affiliate of Roth Capital LLC ("Roth Capital"), purchased shares and warrants in our Private Placement on August 25, 2005 (the "BTG Shares"). Under NASD rules, neither BTG nor Roth Capital will be permitted to re-sell the BTG Shares until 180 days after the date of the first sale of common stock registered pursuant to our registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-129145). ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES We are a Marshall Islands company and our executive offices are located outside of the United States of America in Maroussi, Greece. Some of our directors and officers and some of the experts named herein reside outside the United States of America. In addition, a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of our directors, officers and experts are located outside of the United States of America. As a result, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States of America upon us or any of these persons. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States of America, judgments you may obtain in United States of America courts against us or these persons in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of United States of America federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is substantial doubt that the courts of the Marshall Islands or Greece would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on United States of America federal or state securities laws. EXPERTS The financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and 2005 and for each of the years in the period ended December 31, 2005 incorporated in this prospectus by reference from the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005 have been audited by Deloitte, Hadjipavlou, Sofianos & Cambanis S.A., an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is incorporated herein by reference and has been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
