Ownership days are an indicator of the size of the Company's fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that the Company records during a period. (2) Available days are the number of the Company's ownership days less the aggregate number of days that the Company's vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. (3) Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the Company's vessels are off-hire due to unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues. (4) The Company calculates fleet utilization by dividing the number of the Company's fleet's operating days during a period by the number of its available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning. (5) Time charter equivalent, 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 voyage revenues (net of voyage expenses) by available 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. (6) Daily vessel operating expenses, which include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance (excluding drydocking), the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, but excludes any pre-delivery expenses incurred at or prior to the delivery of the product tankers, are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by ownership days for the relevant period. The six month period ended June 30, 2010 excludes an amount of $0.3 million relating to the predelivery expenses of Megacore Honami. (7) The three month period ended June 30, 2009, excludes $0.7 million of profit sharing revenue related to profit sharing on charters of the vessels, the Omega Lady Sarah, the Omega Lady Miriam, the Omega Emmanuel and the Omega Theodore. The six month period ended June 30, 2009 excludes $2.4 million of profit sharing revenue related to profit sharing on charters of the vessels the Omega Lady Sarah, the Omega Lady Miriam, the Omega Emmanuel and the Omega Theodore.
