1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
StealthGas Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company")
which, as of September 30, 2005 owned a fleet of nine liquefied petroleum gas
carriers providing worldwide marine transportation services under long, medium
or short-term charters. StealthGas Inc. was formed under the laws of Marshall
Islands on December 22, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, under the direction of
Stealth Maritime Corporation S.A. the shareholders of the vessel owning
companies contributed all of their issued and outstanding shares of common stock
to StealthGas Inc. and StealthGas Inc. became the sole owner of all the
outstanding shares of all the subsidiaries mentioned in note 1a. below. The
transaction described above constitutes a reorganization of companies under
common control, and has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests, as each ship-owning company was, indirectly, wholly owned by and
under the common control of the Vafias Group prior to the transfer of ownership
of the companies to StealthGas Inc. Accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements of the Company have been presented as if the ship-owning companies
were consolidated subsidiaries of the Company as of the dates indicated and
using the combined historical carrying costs of the assets and the liabilities
of the ship-owning companies listed below:

2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States ("US GAAP") and include the accounts of the StealthGas Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiaries referred to in note 1a. above. All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION: The interim financial statements for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
interim period results. The results of operations for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: The Company follows the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Statement of Comprehensive Income" (SFAS
130) which requires separate presentation of certain transactions, which are
recorded directly as components of stockholders' equity. The Company has no
other comprehensive income and, accordingly, comprehensive income equals net
income for the periods presented.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The functional currency of the Company and each of
its subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar because the Company's vessels operate in
international shipping markets, which utilize the U.S. Dollar as the functional
currency. The accounting books of the Company are maintained in U.S. Dollars.
Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S.
Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At
the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated
in other currencies, are translated to reflect the current exchange rates.
Resulting gains or losses are separately reflected in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers highly liquid investments such
as time deposits and certificates of deposit with original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

TRADE RECEIVABLES: The amount shown as trade receivables includes estimated
recoveries from charterers for hire, freight and demurrage billings, net of
allowance for doubtful accounts. During 2004 and for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, all potentially un-collectible accounts are assessed
individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful
accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts is required at December 31, 2004
and September 30, 2005.

TRADE ACCOUNTS PAYABLE: The amount shown as trade accounts payable at the
balance sheet date includes payables to suppliers of port services, bunkers, and
other goods and services payable by the Company.

SEGMENTED REPORTING: The Company has determined that it operates in one
reportable segment, the sea transportation of liquefied gas.

INVENTORIES: Inventories consist of bunkers (for vessels under voyage charter)
and lubricants. The cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The
Company considers victualling and stores as being consumed and therefore no
inventories are taken at the balance sheet date.

VESSELS' COST: Vessels are stated at cost, which consists of the contract price
and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (initial repairs,
improvements, acquisition and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its
initial voyage). Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements
are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning
capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels, otherwise are
charged to expenses as incurred.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS: The Company adopts SFAS No.144 "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets" in 2004, which addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets. The standard requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles held and used or disposed of by an entity be reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss for an asset held for use
should be recognized when the estimate of undiscounted cash flows, excluding
interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the asset is less than
its carrying amount. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair
value of the asset as provided by third parties. In this respect, management
regularly reviews the carrying amount of the vessels in connection with the
estimated recoverable amount for each of the Company's vessels.

VESSELS' DEPRECIATION: The cost of each of the Company's vessels is depreciated
on a straight-line basis over the vessels' remaining economic useful life, after
considering the estimated residual value. Management estimates the useful life
of each of the Company's vessels to be 30 years from the date of their
construction.

ACCOUNTING FOR SPECIAL SURVEY AND DRY-DOCKING COSTS: Special survey and
dry-docking costs and all non-capitalizable repair and maintenance expenses are
expensed in the year incurred.

(EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

FINANCING COSTS: Fees incurred for obtaining new loans or refinancing existing
ones are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related
debt using the effective interest method. (The amortization of financing costs
amounted to $14,812 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 ($4,070
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005) is included in Interest and
finance costs, net in the accompanying consolidated income statements).
Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid or refinanced are expensed in the
period the repayment or refinancing is made.

PENSION AND RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS - CREW: The ship-owning companies
included in the consolidation employ the crew on board under short-term
contracts (usually up to seven months) and accordingly, they are not liable for
any pension or any post-retirement benefits.

ACCOUNTING FOR REVENUE AND EXPENSES: Revenue and expenses resulting from each
voyage or time charter are accounted for on an accrual basis. Time charter
revenues are recognized over the term of the charter as service is provided.
Time charter revenues received in advance are recorded as liabilities until
charter service is rendered. Under a voyage charter, the revenues and associated
voyage costs are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the voyage.
Voyage costs comprise commissions, bunkers and port expenses. The impact of this
method of recognizing voyage costs on a pro-rata basis is not materially
different from a method of recognizing such costs as incurred.

The operating results of voyages in progress at a reporting date are estimated
and recognized pro-rata on a per day basis. Probable losses on voyages are
provided for in full at the time such losses can be estimated.

Vessel operating expenses comprise all expenses relating to the operation of the
vessel, including crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores,
lubricants and miscellaneous expenses. Vessel operating expenses are accounted
for on an accrual basis.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. The Company
had no dilutive securities outstanding at December 31, 2004 and September 30,
2005.

INCOME TAXES: The Company is not liable for any income tax on its net income
derived from shipping operations because the countries in which the subsidiaries
ship-owning companies are incorporated do net levy tax on income, but rather a
tonnage tax on the vessel.
(Note 15)

DERIVATIVES: The SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" as amended establishes accounting and reporting standards
requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as
either an asset or liability measured at its fair value, with changes in the
derivatives' fair value recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. The Company had no derivatives as of December 31,
2004. At September 30, 2005, there was an interest rate swap outstanding with an
approximate fair value of $74,000 (liability). Changes in the estimated fair
value of that instrument are recognized in the statement of income.

2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: On January 17, 2003, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). Such Interpretation addresses the
consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs"), including special purpose
entities ("SPEs"), that are not controlled through voting interests or in which
the equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks and rewards. The
provisions of FIN 46 were effective immediately for transactions entered into by
the Company subsequent to January 31, 2003 and became effective for all other
transactions as of July 1, 2003. However, in October 2003, the FASB permitted
companies to defer the July 1, 2003 effective date to December 31, 2003, in
whole or in part. On December 24, 2003, the FASB issued a complete replacement
of FIN 46 ("FIN 46R"), which clarified certain complexities of FIN 46 and
generally requires adoption no later than December 31, 2003 for entities that
were considered SPEs under previous guidance, and no later than March 31, 2004
for all other entities. The adoption of FIN46R did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R that will require compensation
costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the
financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost
will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability
instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured each
reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an
employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB 25. This
Statement will be effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual
reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 123R did
not have an impact on the company's financial statement

Entities that used the fair-value-based method for either recognition or
disclosure under SFAS No. 123 will apply this revised Statement using a modified
version of prospective application. Under this transition method, for the
portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been
rendered, compensation cost is recognized on or after required effective date
based on the grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under SFAS No. 123
for either recognition or pro forma disclosures.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections" which replaces Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20
"Accounting Changes" and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim
Financial Statements." This statement applies to all voluntary changes in
accounting principle and changes resulting from adoption of a new accounting
pronouncement that does not specify transition requirements. SFAS 154 requires
retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements for changes in
accounting principle unless it is impracticable to determine either the
period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also
requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be
limited to the direct effects of the change.

Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the
period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 is effective for the accounting
changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2005 with early implementation permitted for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this
statement was issued. SFAS 154 is effective for us as of January 1, 2006 and is
not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

3.       TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTY

The Manager provides the vessels with a wide range of shipping services such as
chartering, technical support and maintenance, insurance, consulting, financial
and accounting services, for a fixed daily fee of $390 or $125 if the vessel is
on bareboat charter and a brokerage commission of 1.25% on freight, hire and
demurrage per vessel. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, a
total amount of $206,035 ($86,128 for the three-month period ended September 30,
2005) was included as voyage expenses and $638,395 ($249,780 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2005) as operating expenses.

The Manager also acts as a sales and purchase broker of the Company in exchange
for a commission fee equal to 1% of the gross sale or purchase price of vessels
or companies. For the period ended December 31, 2004, an amount of $292,750
($522,500 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005) was capitalized to
the cost of the vessels.

The Manager has subcontracted the technical management of the vessels to two
unaffiliated ship-management companies, V.Ships Limited ("V.Ships") and Tesma
Singapore Pte Ltd ("Tesma"). V.Ships and Tesma provide technical management to
the Company's vessels for a fixed annual fee per vessel. Such fees for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, amounted to $382,076 ($143,669 for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2005) and are included in the total
management fee of $638,395 ($249,780 for the three-month period ended September
30, 2005).

The Manager maintained and handled the cash generated from the vessels'
operations up to March 21, 2005. Subsequently, bank accounts were opened in the
name of StealthGas Inc. for all the vessels owned. The current account balance
with the Manager at December 31, 2004 was a receivable of $1,075,559 (a payable
of $1,101,158 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005) which
represents revenues collected less payments made by the Manager on behalf of the
ship-owning companies.

The Company has a balance payable of $752,597 at September 30, 2005 to Gaz De
Brazil Inc., a company under common control which is included in amounts due to
related party. The Company has collected cash from time charter, on behalf of

15.      INCOME TAXES

Under the laws of the countries of the companies' incorporation and/or vessels'
registration, the companies are not subject to tax on international shipping
income, however, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which have
been included in Vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated
statement of income.

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of the United States (the "Code"), U.S.
source income from the international operations of ships is generally exempt
from U.S. tax if the Company operating the ships meets certain requirements.
Among other things, in order to qualify for this exemption, the Company
operating the ships must be incorporated in a country, which grants an
equivalent exemption from income taxes to U.S. corporations. All the Company's
ship-operating subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria. In addition, these
companies must be more than 50% owned by individuals who are residents, as
defined, in the country of incorporation or another foreign country that grants
an equivalent exemption to U.S. corporations. These companies also currently
satisfy the more than 50% beneficial ownership requirement.

In addition, upon completion of the public offering of the Company's shares, the
management of the Company believes that by virtue of a special rule applicable
to situations where the ship-operating companies are beneficiary owned by a
publicly traded company like the Company, the more than 50% beneficial ownership
requirement can also be satisfied based on the trading volume and the
anticipated widely-held ownership of the Company's shares, but no assurance can
be given that this will remain so in the future, since continued compliance with
this rule is subject to factors outside the Company's control.


16.      FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The principal financial assets of the Company consist of accounts receivable due
from charterers and related party. The principal financial liabilities of the
Company consist of accounts payable due to suppliers, related party and the loan
repayable to the bank. The recorded value of all of the Company's financial
assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term
nature and the variable interest rate of the loan.

17.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     o   From time to time the Company expects to be subject to legal
         proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business,

         current legal proceedings or claims.

     o   In January 2005, the Company entered into a three-year cancelable

     The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in

     As of September 30, 2005, our fleet consisted of nine liquefied petroleum
 gas carriers. The average number of vessels in our fleet was 9.0 and 7.3,
 respectively, during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005.

NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005.


         VOYAGE REVENUES -- Voyage revenues for the nine-month period ended

1,986 days and under spot charters for a total of nine days for a total of 1,995
voyage days and a fleet utilization of 100%.

         During the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, the

which generally are for lower monthly amounts but in connection with which we
are not responsible for voyage or operating expenses, since our acquisition of
those vessels in April 2005.

30, 2005, the Gas Arctic, the Gas Ice and the Birgit Kosan were employed on
bareboat charters, in connection with which we pay Stealth Maritime, our fleet
manager, a fee of $125 per day rather than the fee of $390 per day that we pay
to Stealth Maritime for vessels in our fleet which are not on bareboat charters,
since our acquisition of those vessels in April 2005. Management fees were
$249,780 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005.

agreement.

         We had a non-cash gain on derivatives for the three-month period ended

foreign exchange loss of $6,854.

         NET INCOME -- As a result of the above factors, net income was
$7,673,032 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 and $3,623,533 for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2005.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Since our inception, our principal source of funds has been equity
provided by our affiliates and cash generated by our operations, bank borrowings
and the net proceeds of our initial public offering which was completed in
October 2005. Our principal use of funds has been to acquire our vessels, to
maintain the quality of our LPG carriers, to comply with international
standards, laws and regulations and to fund working capital requirements. We
will rely upon operating cash flows, bank borrowings, as well as future equity
financing to implement our growth plan.


         On January 6, 2006 our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of
$0.1875 cents per common share, payable on January 25, 2006 to stockholders of
record on January 17, 2006.

         We entered into a $54.0 million loan agreement dated March 16, 2005
with Fortis Bank (Nederland) N.V. During the nine-month period ended September
30, 2005, we acquired the Gas Emperor for $11.5 million, the Gas Arctic and the
Gas Ice, each for $9.5 million, the Birgit Kosan for $12.5 million and the Gas
Amazon for $9.25 million. Of the total purchase price of $52.25 million,





$25.625 million was financed with borrowings under the Fortis Bank loan
facility. The balance of the total purchase price was funded with capital
contributions from our sole stockholder. With these borrowings, and the
prepayment of the $3,580,500 portion of the loan attributable to the Gas
Prodigy, the credit facility under the Fortis Bank loan agreement was fully
drawn. As of September 30, 2005, $49.1 million principal amount was outstanding
under the Fortis Bank loan agreement. As of September 30, 2005, we had cash and
cash equivalents of $15.3 million.

         In addition, on December 5, 2005 we entered into a $50.0 million 10
year term loan facility with DNB Nordbank secured by liens on the Gas Oracle,
the Sweet Dream, the Gas Legacy, the Gas Cathar, the Gas Marathon and the Gas
Sincerity. The proceeds of the loan were used to acquire the Sweet Dream and the
Gas Oracle from the Vafias Group for an aggregate of $19.0 million and to
acquire the Feisty Gas and the Gas Spirit, which were delivered on December 16,
2005 for $15.0 million and $15.5 million, respectively. We have reached an
agreement in principle with DNB Nordbank to amend the $50.0 million loan
facility to increase the amount available for borrowing by $14.0 million, to an
aggregate of $64.0 million, to finance the acquisition of the Gas Czar and the
Gas Eternity. In connection with this amendment, liens on each of the Gas Czar
and the Gas Eternity, in addition to the liens on six vessels securing the
existing facility, will be put in place. The purchase price for each of these
vessels is payable upon delivery. The Gas Czar and the Gas Eternity are each
expected to be delivered during February 2006, subject to customary conditions.

CASH FLOWS

     NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES -- was $13,690,451 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. This represents the net amount of
cash, after expenses, generated by chartering our vessels. Stealth Maritime, on
our behalf, collects our chartering revenues and pays our expenses.

     NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES -- was $50,938,376 for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2005, reflecting the acquisition of the nine vessels
on our fleet as of September 30, 2005.

     NET CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES -- was $52,528,822 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, reflecting drawings under the Fortis
Bank loan agreement to provide working capital and to fund, together with
additional contributions of capital from our sole stockholder prior to our
initial public offering, the acquisition of the nine vessels in our fleet as of
September 30, 2005.

DRYDOCKING AND SPECIAL SURVEY COSTS

     None of our vessels was drydocked or underwent special survey during the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, other than the Gas Oracle which was
drydocked and underwent a special survey in September 2005. We incurred an
expense of $212,616 for the drydocking and special survey of the Gas Oracle, as
reflected in our vessel operating expenses for the nine-month and three-month
periods ended September 30, 2005. In addition, the Gas Ice underwent an
underwater inspection in July 2005. In 2006, four of our vessels, including the
special survey in respect of the Gas Ice, are scheduled for drydocking or
special surveys, or both. With respect to the Gas Ice, the expenses for the
underwater inspection were and the expenses for the special survey will be borne
by its bareboat charterer, which is obligated to continue paying us charterhire
during the period of the vessel's offhire. We will bear the expenses of
drydocking and special surveys for the other three vessels, during which period
the vessels will be offhire, thereby affecting our fleet utilization. We expense
the cost of drydocking and special surveys as they are incurred. We expect to
pay these costs out of our cash from operations.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISK

     Our policy is to continuously monitor our exposure to business risks,
including the impact of changes in interest rates, currency rates, and bunker
prices on earnings and cash flows. We intend to assess these risks and, when
appropriate, enter into derivative contracts with credit-worthy counter parties
to minimize our exposure to the risks.





INTEREST RATES

     We are subject to market risks relating to changes in interest rates,
because we have floating rate debt outstanding under the loan with Fortis Bank.
We pay interest on this debt based on LIBOR plus a margin. On March 31, 2005, we
entered into an agreement with Fortis Bank to enter into an interest rate swap
commencing May 30, 2007 in connection with the Fortis Bank loan agreement. We
have agreed to enter into this interest rate swap to partially hedge our
interest rate exposure with respect to the loan with Fortis Bank. Our use of
this interest rate swap will involve certain risks, including the risk that
losses on the hedged position could exceed the nominal amount invested in the
instrument and the risk that the counter party to the derivative transaction may
be unable or unwilling to satisfy its contractual obligations, which would have
an adverse effect on our results. In addition, the swap will not fully hedge our
risk if LIBOR equals or exceeds 7.5%. We do not intend to enter into interest
rate swaps for speculative purposes.

INTEREST RATE SWAP

     On March 31, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Fortis Bank to enter
into an interest rate swap in connection with the Fortis Bank loan agreement.
The initial nominal amount of the swap will be $22.5 million amortizing to $4.8
million over its six-year life commencing May 30, 2007. The swap hedges our risk
of increases in three month LIBOR over 4.55% and up to 7.5%, but does not hedge
our risk if three month LIBOR equals or exceeds 7.5%. As of September 30, 2005,
the fair value of the instrument represented a loss of $74,000. The interest
rate swap does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and, consequently, the
interest rate swap is recorded on our balance sheet at its fair value, with
changes in the fair value recognized in our statement of income.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

     We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE RISK

     We generate all of our revenues in United States dollars and incur less
than 10% of our expenses in currencies other than United States dollars. For
accounting purposes, expenses incurred in Euros are converted into United States
dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of each transaction. At
September 30, 2005, less than 10% of our outstanding accounts payable was
denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar (mainly in Euros).
We have not hedged currency exchange risks and our operating results could be
adversely affected as a result.

GEOGRAPHIC MARKETS

     We operate our LPG carriers in the following geographic regions: the Far
East, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and South America. We operated nine
vessels in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, completely on time
charters under which our charter customers direct the routes taken by our
vessels.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING; NASDAQ LISTING

     On October 12, 2005, we completed our initial public offering, issuing 8.0
million shares at a price per share of $14.50 and thus raising gross proceeds of
$116.0 million, and proceeds after related expenses of $107.3 million. Our
common stock was accepted for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market in New
York, United States of America and trades under the symbol GASS.

NEW CREDIT FACILITY

     On December 5, 2005 we entered into a $50.0 million 10 year term loan
facility with DNB Nordbank secured by liens on the Gas Oracle, the Sweet Dream,
the Gas Legacy, the Gas Cathar, the Gas Marathon and the Gas Sincerity. The
proceeds of the loan were used to acquire the Sweet Dream and the Gas Oracle
from the Vafias Group for an aggregate of $19.0 million and to acquire the
Feisty Gas and the Gas Spirit, which were delivered on December 16, 2005 for
$15.0 million and $15.5 million, respectively. We have reached an agreement in
principle with DNB Nordbank to





amend the $50.0 million facility to increase the amount available for borrowing
by $14.0 million, to an aggregate of $64.0 million, to finance the acquisition
of the Gas Czar and the Gas Eternity. In connection with this amendment, liens
on each of the Gas Czar and the Gas Eternity, in addition to the liens on six
vessels securing the existing facility, will be put in place. The purchase price
for each of these vessels is payable upon delivery. The Gas Czar and the Gas
Eternity are each expected to be delivered during February 2006, subject to
customary conditions.

VESSEL ACQUISITIONS

         On October 3, 2005, we terminated the memorandum of agreement with
respect to the Gas Cathar and entered into a stock purchase agreement with
Jungle Investment Inc., the owner of the Gas Cathar, for a purchase price of
$19.98 million, the same purchase price that was to be paid under the terminated
memorandum of agreement.

         In October and November 2005, we took delivery of the Gas Chios, the
Gas Prodigy, Gas Cathar, the Gas Legacy, the Gas Crystal and the Gas Sincerity,
each a vessel we had agreed to acquire during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, for $11.0 million, $9.50 million, $19.98 million, $13.0
million, $9.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively, which we financed with a
portion of the net proceeds of our initial public offering. The Gas Chios, the
Gas Prodigy, Gas Cathar and the Gas Legacy are each currently employed on time
charters until, respectively, February 2006, March 2006, February 2006, April
2007 and July 2006 at monthly rates of $300,000, $125,000, $335,000, $250,000
and $285,000, respectively. The Gas Crystal is currently employed on the spot
market.

         In November and December 2005, we also took delivery of the Catterick,
the Feisty Gas, the Gas Spirit and the Gas Marathon for $12.8 million, $15.0
million, $15.5 million and $15.0 million, respectively. We financed the
acquisition of these vessels with a portion of the net proceeds of our initial
public offering. The Catterick, the Feisty Gas and the Gas Spirit are each

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 report 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
we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these
assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and

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 charterhire rates
and vessel values, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time
charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in our 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 us
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
