Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons have acquired their Common Shares of the Issuer for investment.  The Reporting Persons evaluate their investment in the Common Shares on a continual basis.

Aristides J. Pittas, who serves as the Vice President and a director of Friends Investment Company, and who also serves as the President an a director of Preferred Friends Investment Company, is the Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and a Class A Director of the Issuer.  Aristides P. Pittas, who serves as the President and a director of Friends Investment Company and as the Secretary and a director of Family United Navigation, is the Vice Chairman and a Class A Director of the Issuer.  George Skarvelis, who serves as a director of Friends Investment Company, is a Class B Director of the Issuer.

On January 29, 2014, Preferred Friends Investment Company participated in a private investment in public equity transaction with the Issuer (the "PIPE Transaction").  Pursuant to the PIPE Transaction, the Issuer issued 50,000 shares of Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred Shares"), of which Preferred Friends Investment Company agreed in the Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase 5,700 of such Series B Preferred Shares.  As a holder of Series B Preferred Shares, Preferred Friends Investment Company, among other things,: (a) is entitled to receive either cash dividends from the Issuer for each Series B Preferred Share for which it owns or additional Series B Preferred Shares in lieu of cash dividends ("PIK Shares"); (b) has the right, along with the other holders of Series B Preferred Shares, to nominate and elect one member to the Issuer's board of directors; (c) may at any time elect to convert its Series B Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, into Common Shares at an amount initially equal to $1,000 per share (subject to adjustment pursuant to certain agreed upon terms) divided by the current conversion price of $1.45 (subject to reduction to $1.25 in the event of a dividend payment default, and a further reduction to $1.05 if the dividend payment default exists for more than 6 months); and (d) may vote as one class with the holders of Common Shares on all matters of which such shareholders are entitled to vote, with each Series B Preferred Share having a number of votes equal to 50% of the number of Common Shares into which Series B Shares could be converted pursuant to the Statement of Designation of the Rights, Preferences and Privileges of Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares of Euroseas Ltd., an agreement entered into as part of the PIPE Transaction.  On March 31, 2014, Preferred Friends Investment Company received 49.083 PIK Shares from the Issuer.  At the current conversion price of $1.45 per share, Preferred Friends Investment Company, in its sole discretion and at any time, can currently convert its 5,749.083 Series B Preferred Shares into approximately 3,964,885 Common Shares.  Because it has the right to acquire such Common Shares such within 60 days, Preferred Friends Investment Company is deemed to beneficially own such Common Shares.
