Dorian LPG Ltd.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

1.  Basis of Presentation and General Information

Dorian LPG Ltd. (“Dorian”) was incorporated on July 1, 2013 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is headquartered in the United States and is engaged in the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”) worldwide. Specifically, Dorian and its subsidiaries (together “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) are focused on owning and operating very large gas carriers (“VLGCs”), each with a cargo carrying capacity of greater than 80,000 cbm, in the LPG shipping industry. As of June 30, 2019, our fleet consists of twenty-three VLGCs, including nineteen fuel-efficient 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGCs (“ECO-VLGCs”), three 82,000 cbm VLGCs and one time chartered-in ECO-VLGC.  Two of our technically-managed ECO-VLGCs are fitted with exhaust gas cleaning systems (commonly referred to as “scrubbers”) to reduce sulfur emissions. We have entered into contracts for an additional ten of our VLGCs to be fitted with scrubbers. 

On April 1, 2015, Dorian and Phoenix Tankers Pte. Ltd. (“Phoenix”) began operations of Helios LPG Pool LLC (the “Helios Pool”), which entered into pool participation agreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under variable rate time charters to be entered into with owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool of VLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared. Refer to Note 3 below for further description of the Helios Pool.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and related Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows have been included in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended March 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 30, 2019.

Our interim results are subject to seasonal and other fluctuations, and the operating results for any quarter are therefore not necessarily indicative of results that may be otherwise expected for the entire year.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the adoption of new guidance to update the requirements of financial accounting and reporting for lessees and lessors, which became effective April 1, 2019, the same accounting policies have been followed in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 (refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019), except as discussed herein.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to update the requirements of financial accounting and reporting for lessees and lessors. The updated guidance, for lease terms of more than 12 months, requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee accounts for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases under the updated guidance result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee recognizes interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee recognizes a straight-line total lease expense. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged

from previous guidance under U.S. GAAP. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In July 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to provide entities with relief from the cost of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing guidance. Entities may elect not to recast comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new leasing guidance and, furthermore, lessors may elect not to separate lease and nonlease components when certain conditions are met. We adopted the amended guidance effective April 1, 2019 and applied the modified retrospective approach. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for those periods. The adoption did not have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. We recognized operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities related to our office leases described below on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of approximately $1.1 million as of June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 11 for a description of our operating lease expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and commitments related to our leases as of June 30, 2019.We did not enter into any operating leases greater than 12 months during the three months ended June 30, 2019. In relation to our time chartered-in VLGC described below, the adoption of the new guidance had no impact on our financial statements since the length of the time charter is not more than 12 months. 

Time charter-out contracts

Our time charter revenues are generated from our vessels being hired by a third-party charterer for a specified period. The charterer has the full discretion over the ports subject to compliance with applicable sanction laws. In a time charter contract, we are responsible for all the costs incurred for running the vessel such as crew costs, vessel insurance, repairs and maintenance, and lubricants. The charterer bears the voyage related costs such as bunker expenses, port charges and canal tolls during the hire period. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over the term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to us. The charterer generally pays the charter hire in advance of the upcoming contract period. We determined that our time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of the amended guidance because (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset, (ii) we do not have substantive substitution rights, and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use. Under the amended guidance, we elected the practical expedients available to lessors to not separate the lease and non-lease components included in the time charter revenue because the pattern of revenue recognition for the lease and non-lease components is the same as it is earned by the passage of time. The adoption of the amended guidance did not impact our accounting for time charter out contracts. 

Time charter-in contracts

We elected the practical expedient of the amended guidance that allows for contracts with an initial lease term of 12 months or less to be excluded from the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The duration of our only time charter-in contract at the time of adoption of the amended guidance was 12 months.

Office leases

We currently have operating leases for our offices in Stamford, Connecticut, USA; London, United Kingdom; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Athens, Greece, which we determined to be operating leases and record the lease expense as part of general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We carried forward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classifications, and (3) initial direct costs. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related right-of-use asset and lease liability as the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. For leases that do not provide a readily determinable discount rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments to present value. The discount rate used ranged from 5.37% to 5.85%. The weighted average discount rate used to calculate the lease liability was 5.47%. The weighted average remaining lease term on our office leases as of June 30, 2019 is 38.2 months.

3.  Transactions with Related Parties

Dorian (Hellas), S.A.

Dorian (Hellas) S.A. (“DHSA”) formerly provided technical, crew, commercial management, insurance and accounting services to our vessels and had agreements to outsource certain of these services to Eagle Ocean Transport Inc. (“Eagle Ocean Transport”), which is 100% owned by Mr. John C. Hadjipateras, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with DHSA, retroactive to July 2014 and superseding an agreement between Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. and DHSA, for the provision by Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and its subsidiaries of certain chartering and marine operation services to DHSA, for which income was earned and included in “Other income-related parties” totaling $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019,  $1.2 million was due from DHSA and included in “Due from related parties” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets included herein. As of March 31, 2019,  $1.2 million was due from DHSA and included in “Due from related parties” in the audited consolidated balance sheets.

Eagle Ocean Transport incurs office-related costs on behalf of us, for which we reimbursed Eagle Ocean Transport less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Such expenses are reimbursed based on their actual cost.  

Helios LPG Pool LLC

On April 1, 2015, Dorian and Phoenix began operations of the Helios Pool, which entered into pool participation agreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under variable rate time charters to be entered into with owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool of VLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared. We hold a 50% interest in the Helios Pool as a joint venture with Phoenix and all significant rights and obligations are equally shared by both parties. All profits of the Helios Pool are distributed to the pool participants based on pool points assigned to each vessel as variable charter hire and, as a result, there are no profits available to the equity investors as a share of equity. We have determined that the Helios Pool is a variable interest entity as it does not have sufficient equity at risk. We do not consolidate the Helios Pool because we are not the primary beneficiary and do not have a controlling financial interest. In consideration of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-50-4e, the significant factors considered and judgments made in determining that the power to direct the activities of the Helios Pool that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance are shared, in that all significant performance activities which relate to approval of pool policies and strategies related to pool customers and the marketing of the pool for the procurement of customers for the pool vessels, addition of new pool vessels and the pool cost management, require unanimous board consent from a board consisting of two members from each joint venture investor. Further, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 810-10-25-38D, the Company and Phoenix are not related parties as defined in ASC 850 nor are they de facto agents pursuant to ASC 810-10, the power over the significant activities of the Helios Pool is shared, and no party is the

8

primary beneficiary in the Helios Pool, or has a controlling financial interest. As of June 30, 2019, the Helios Pool operated twenty-eight VLGCs, including nineteen vessels from our fleet (including one vessel time chartered-in from an unrelated party),  four Phoenix vessels, and five other vessels.

As of June 30, 2019, we had receivables from the Helios Pool of $83.5 million, including $20.9 million of working capital contributed for the operation of our vessels in the pool. As of March 31, 2019, we had receivables from the Helios Pool of $62.5 million (net of an amount due to Helios Pool of $0.5 million which is reflected under “Due to related Parties”), including $19.8 million of working capital contributed for the operation of our vessels in the pool. Our maximum exposure to losses from the pool as of June 30, 2019 is limited to the receivables from the pool. The Helios Pool does not have any third-party debt obligations. The Helios Pool has entered into commercial management agreements with each of Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. and Phoenix as commercial managers and has appointed both commercial managers as the exclusive commercial managers of pool vessels. Fees for commercial management services provided by Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. are included in “Other income-related parties” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations included herein and were $0.6 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Additionally, we receive a fixed reimbursement of expenses such as costs for security guards and war risk insurance for vessels operating in high risk areas from the Helios Pool, for which we earned $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, and are included in “Other revenues, net” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations included herein.

Through our vessel owning subsidiaries, we have chartered vessels to the Helios Pool during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The time charter revenue from the Helios Pool is variable depending upon the net results of the pool, operating days and pool points for each vessel. The Helios Pool enters into voyage and time charters with external parties and receives freight and related revenue and, where applicable, incurs voyage costs such as bunkers, port costs and commissions. At the end of each month, the Helios Pool calculates net pool revenues using gross revenues, less voyage expenses of all pool vessels, less fixed time charter hire for any chartered-in vessels, less the general and administrative expenses of the pool. Net pool revenues, less any amounts required for working capital of the Helios Pool, are distributed, to the extent they have been collected from third-party customers of the Helios Pool, as variable rate time charter hire for the relevant vessel to participants based on pool points (vessel attributes such as cargo carrying capacity, fuel consumption, and speed are taken into consideration) and number of days the vessel participated in the pool in the period. We recognize net pool revenues on a monthly basis, when each relevant vessel has participated in the pool during the period and the amount of net pool revenues for the month can be estimated reliably. Revenue earned from the Helios Pool is presented in Note 8.

Other revenues, net represent income from charterers relating to reimbursement of voyage expenses such as costs for security guards and war risk insurance.

9.  Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

Our principal financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash amounts due from related parties, trade accounts receivable and derivative instruments. Our principal financial liabilities consist of long-term debt, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and accrued liabilities.

(a) Concentration of credit risk:  Financial instruments, which may subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of amounts due from our charterers, including the receivables from Helios Pool, cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash. We limit our credit risk with amounts due from our charterers, including those through the Helios Pool, by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our charterers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral from our charterers. We limit our credit risk with our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by placing it with highly-rated financial institutions.

(b) Interest rate risk:  Our long‑term bank loans are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and hence we are exposed to movements thereto. We entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge a majority of our variable interest rate exposure related to our 2015 Debt Facility. Refer to Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 for information on our interest rate swap agreements related to the 2015 Debt Facility.  

12

(c) Fair value measurements: Interest rate swaps are stated at fair value, which is determined using a discounted cash flow approach based on market‑based LIBOR swap yield rates. LIBOR swap rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the swaps and, therefore, are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements approximates the amount that we would have to pay or receive for the early termination of the agreements. The following table summarizes the location on the balance sheet of the financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis, which comprise our financial derivatives all of which are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy:

		June 30, 2019				March 31, 2019
	Other non-current assets		Long-term liabilities		Other non-current assets		Long-term liabilities
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments	Derivative instruments		Derivative instruments		Derivative instruments		Derivative instruments
Interest rate swap agreements	$	1,687,524	$	1,309,815	$	6,448,498	$	—

The effect of derivative instruments within the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations included herein for the periods presented is as follows:

		Three months ended
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments	Location of gain/(loss) recognized	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Interest Rate Swap—Change in fair value	Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivatives	$	(6,070,789)	$	1,707,616
Interest Rate Swap—Realized gain/(loss)	Realized gain on derivatives		1,032,995		782,565
Gain/(loss) on derivatives, net		$	(5,037,794)	$	2,490,181

As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, no fair value measurements for assets or liabilities under Level 1 or Level 3 were recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and securities. We did not have any other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

(d) Book values and fair values of financial instruments:   In addition to the derivatives that we are required to record at fair value on our balance sheet (see (c) above) and securities that are included in other current assets in our balance sheet that we record at fair value, we have other financial instruments that are carried at historical cost. These financial instruments include trade accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and accrued liabilities for which the historical carrying value approximates the fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and securities are considered Level 1 items. We have long-term bank debt for which we believe the carrying value approximates their fair value as the loans bear interest at variable interest rates, being LIBOR, which is observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans, and hence are considered as Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. We also have long-term debt related to the Corsair Japanese Financing, Concorde Japanese Financing, Corvette Japanese Financing, CJNP Japanese Financing, CMNL Japanese Financing, and CNML Japanese Financing (collectively the “Japanese Financings”) that incur interest at a fixed-rate with the initial principal amount amortized to the purchase obligation price of each vessel. The Japanese Financings are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy and the fair value of each is based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current observable interest rates. The following table summarizes the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Japanese Financings as of:

13

	June 30, 2019				March 31, 2019
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Corsair Japanese Financing	$	46,583,333	$	46,284,958	$	47,395,833	$	45,901,900
Concorde Japanese Financing		51,153,846		50,761,370		51,961,538		50,176,288
Corvette Japanese Financing		51,692,308		51,289,452		52,500,000		50,671,689
CJNP Japanese Financing		20,144,375		20,892,845		20,506,250		20,918,881
CMNL Japanese Financing		19,103,720		19,876,285		19,446,131		19,862,056
CNML Japanese Financing		21,315,030		22,191,997		21,666,369		22,137,090

10.  Earnings/(Loss) Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS represents net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the measurement period. Our restricted stock shares include rights to receive dividends that are subject to the risk of forfeiture if service requirements are not satisfied, and as a result, these shares are not considered participating securities and are excluded from the basic weighted-average shares outstanding calculation. Diluted EPS represent net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the measurement period while also giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The calculations of basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented are as follows:

	Three months ended
(In U.S. dollars except share data)	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Numerator:
Net income/(loss)	$	6,075,059	$	(20,596,558)
Denominator:
Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding		54,552,994		54,237,237
Effect of dilutive restricted stock		328,332		—
Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding		54,881,326		54,237,237
EPS:
Basic	$	0.11	$	(0.38)
Diluted	$	0.11	$	(0.38)

For the three months ended June 30, 2018,  there were 725,685  shares of unvested restricted stock, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive shares of unvested restricted stock excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

11.  Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments under Contracts for Scrubber Purchases

As of June 30, 2019, we had the following contractual commitments to purchase scrubbers to reduce sulfur emissions on ten of our VLGCs:

Less than one year	$	23,993,113
One to three years		22,293,252
Total	$	46,286,365

Other

From time to time we expect to be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking in merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We are not aware of any claim that is reasonably possible and should be disclosed or probable and for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

12. Professional and Legal Fees Related to the BW Proposal

BW made an unsolicited proposal to acquire all of our outstanding common stock and, along with its affiliates, commenced a proxy contest to replace three members of our board of directors with nominees proposed by BW. BW’s unsolicited proposal and proxy contest were subsequently withdrawn on October 8, 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, significant costs for professional and legal services incurred in connection with BW’s unsolicited acquisition proposal and proxy contest totaled $0.5 million. No such costs were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

13. Subsequent Events

Amendment to the 2015 Debt Facility

On July 23, 2019, we entered into an agreement to amend the 2015 Debt Facility (the “Amendment”), whose key provisions include:

1) a  modification to the definition of consolidated EBITDA to exclude expenses incurred in connection with the BW Proposal; 

2) the following financial covenant modification:

· Minimum interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the 2015 Debt Facility, to consolidated net interest expense must be maintained greater than or equal to (i) 2.00 at all times from June 30, 2019 through March 31, 2020 and (ii) 2.50 from April 1, 2020 and at all times thereafter; and

3) the following modification to the definition of consolidated liquidity:

· if the minimum interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense is less than 2.50 at any time or times during the period beginning on and including June 30, 2019 and ending on and including March 31, 2020, consolidated liquidity shall at such time or times be maintained in an amount at least equal to $47,500,000.

Stock Repurchase Program

On August 5, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of our common stock through the period ended December 31, 2020.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards

On August 5, 2019, we granted an aggregate of 175,200 shares of restricted stock and 22,500 restricted stock units to certain of our officers and employees. One-fourth of the shares of restricted stock vested on the grant date and one-fourth will vest equally on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. One-third of restricted stock units will vest equally on the first,  second, and third anniversaries of the grant date. The shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units were valued at their grant date fair market value and expensed on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting periods.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains forward‑looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward‑looking statements. Please also see the section “Forward-Looking Statements” included in this quarterly report.

Overview

We are a Marshall Islands corporation headquartered in the United States and primarily focused on owning and operating VLGCs, each with a cargo‑carrying capacity of greater than 80,000 cbm, in the LPG shipping industry. Our fleet currently consists of twenty-two VLGC carriers, including nineteen fuel-efficient 84,000 cbm ECO-VLGCs, three 82,000 cbm VLGCs, and one time chartered-in VLGC.  Two of our ECO-VLGCs are fitted with scrubbers to reduce sulfur emissions and we have entered into contracts for an additional ten of our VLGCs to be fitted with scrubbers as of August 1, 2019.

Our nineteen ECO-VLGCs, which incorporate fuel efficiency, emission-reducing technologies, and certain custom features, were acquired by us for an aggregate purchase price of $1.4 billion and delivered to us between July 2014 and February 2016, seventeen of which were delivered during calendar year 2015 or later.

On April 1, 2015, Dorian and Phoenix began operations of the Helios Pool, which entered into pool participation agreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under a variable rate time charter to be entered into with owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool of VLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared. The vessels entered into the Helios Pool may operate either in the spot market, pursuant to contracts of affreightment, or COAs, or on time charters of two years' duration or less. As of August 1, 2019, nineteen of our twenty-three VLGCs were employed in the Helios Pool, including our time chartered-in VLGC.

Our customers, either directly or through the Helios Pool, include or have included global energy companies such as Exxon Mobil Corp., China International United Petroleum & Chemicals Co., Ltd., Royal Dutch Shell plc, Equinor ASA, Total S.A., and Sunoco LP, commodity traders such as Geogas Trading S.A., Glencore plc, Itochu Corporation and the Vitol Group and importers such as E1 Corp., Indian Oil Corporation, SK Gas Co. Ltd. Astomos Energy Corporation, and Oriental Energy Company Ltd.  

We continue to pursue a balanced chartering strategy by employing our vessels on a mix of multi-year time charters, some of which may include a profit-sharing component, shorter-term time charters, spot market voyages and COAs. Currently, four of our VLGCs are on fixed-rate time charters outside of the Helios Pool. See “Our Fleet” below for more information and the definition of Pool-TCO.

Recent Developments

On July 23, 2019, we entered into an agreement to amend the 2015 Debt Facility as further described in Note 13 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 5, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of our common stock through the period ended December 31, 2020.

On August 5, 2019, we granted an aggregate of 175,200 shares of restricted stock and 22,500 restricted stock units to certain of our officers and employeesas further described in Note 13 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA is an unaudited non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and represents net income/(loss) before interest and finance costs, unrealized (gain)/loss on derivatives, realized (gain)/loss on derivatives, gain on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, impairment, and depreciation and amortization and is used as a supplemental financial measure by management to assess our financial and operating performance. We believe that adjusted EBITDA assists our management and investors by increasing the comparability of our performance from period to period. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate effects between periods of derivatives, interest and finance costs, gain on early extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, impairment, and depreciation and amortization expense, which items are affected by various and possibly changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost basis and which items may significantly affect net income/(loss) between periods. We believe that including adjusted EBITDA as a financial and operating measure benefits investors in selecting between investing in us and other investment alternatives.

Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in use and should not be considered an alternative to net income/(loss), operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income/(loss). Adjusted EBITDA as presented

18

below may not be computed consistently with similarly titled measures of other companies and, therefore, might not be comparable with other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income/(loss) to Adjusted EBITDA (unaudited) for the periods presented:

(in U.S. dollars)	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Net income/(loss)	$	6,075,059	$	(20,596,558)
Interest and finance costs		9,697,282		10,374,281

(2) We define calendar days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was owned or operated pursuant to a bareboat charter. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that are recorded during that period.

(3) We define time chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which we time chartered-in vessels.

(4) We define available days as the sum of calendar days and time chartered-in days (collectively representing our commercially-managed vessels) less aggregate off hire days associated with scheduled maintenance, which include major repairs, drydockings, vessel upgrades or special or intermediate surveys. We use available days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period that our vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

(5) We define operating days as available days less the aggregate number of days that the commercially-managed vessels in our fleet are off‑hire for any reason other than scheduled maintenance. We use operating days to measure the number of days in a period that our operating vessels are on hire (refer to 8 below).

(6) We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during that period. An increase in non‑scheduled off‑hire days would reduce our operating days, and, therefore, our fleet utilization. We use fleet utilization to measure our ability to efficiently find suitable employment for our vessels.

(7) Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE rate, is a non-U.S. GAAP measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. TCE rate is a 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 (such as time charters, voyage charters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Our method of calculating TCE rate is to divide revenue net of voyage expenses by operating days for the relevant time period, which may not be calculated the same by other companies.

19

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of revenues to TCE rate (unaudited) for the periods presented:

(in U.S. dollars, except operating days)
Numerator:	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Revenues	$	61,165,546	$	27,644,282
Voyage expenses		(339,114)		(100,173)
Time charter equivalent	$	60,826,432	$	27,544,109
Denominator:
Operating days		2,050		1,664
TCE rate:
Time charter equivalent rate	$	29,671	$	16,553

(8) We determine operating days for each vessel based on the underlying vessel employment, including our vessels in the Helios Pool, or the Company Methodology. If we were to calculate operating days for each vessel within the Helios Pool as a variable rate time charter, or the Alternate Methodology, our operating days and fleet utilization would be increased with a corresponding reduction to our TCE rate. Operating data using both methodologies is as follows:

	Three months ended
Company Methodology:	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Operating Days		2,050			1,664
Fleet Utilization		98.4	%		83.6	%
Time charter equivalent	$	29,671		$	16,553
Alternate Methodology:
Operating Days		2,083			1,990
Fleet Utilization		100.0	%		99.9	%
Time charter equivalent	$	29,201		$	13,841

We believe that the Company Methodology using the underlying vessel employment provides more meaningful insight into market conditions and the performance of our vessels.

(9) Daily vessel operating expenses are calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by calendar days for the relevant time period.

(10) Long-term debt is net of deferred financing fees of $13.3 million and $14.0 million as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

Results of Operations – For the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 

Revenues

The following table compares our Revenues for the three months ended June 30:

					Increase /		Percent
	2019		2018		(Decrease)		Change
Net pool revenues—related party	$	50,092,137	$	16,106,401	$	33,985,736	211.0	%
Time charter revenues		10,982,031		11,467,881		(485,850)	(4.2)	%
Other revenues, net		91,378		70,000		21,378	30.5	%
Total	$	61,165,546	$	27,644,282	$	33,521,264	121.3	%

Revenues, which represent net pool revenues—related party, time charters, voyage charters and other revenues earned by our vessels, were $61.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $33.6 million, or 121.3%, from $27.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in average TCE rates and fleet utilization. Average TCE rates increased from $16,553 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $29,671 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of higher spot market rates during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 along with a reduction in bunker prices. The Baltic Exchange Liquid Petroleum Gas Index, an index published daily by the Baltic Exchange for the spot market rate for the benchmark Ras Tanura-Chiba route (expressed as U.S. dollars per metric ton), averaged $62.337 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to an average of $26.390 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The average price of heavy fuel oil (expressed as U.S. dollars per metric tonnes) from Singapore and Fujairah decreased from $433 during the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $414 during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our fleet utilization increased from 83.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 98.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Charter Hire Expenses

Charter hire expenses for the vessel that we charter in from a third party were $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. No such costs were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Vessel Operating Expenses

Vessel operating expenses were $16.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, or $8,052 per vessel per calendar day, which is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by calendar days for the relevant time-period for the vessels that were in our fleet. This was a decrease of $0.6 million, or 3.4%, from $16.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Vessel operating expenses per vessel per calendar day decreased by $282 from $8,334 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $8,052 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in vessel operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019, when compared with the three months ended June 30, 2018, was primarily the result of a $0.5 million, or $255 per vessel per calendar day, decrease in repairs and maintenance costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 15.0%, from $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.  The decrease was due to reductions of $0.8 million in cash bonuses to certain employees, $0.3 million in stock-based compensation, and $0.1 million in other general and administrative expenses. The reduction in cash bonuses to certain employees was due to a shift in the timing of approvals during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period.

22

Professional and Legal Fees Related to the BW Proposal

In 2018, BW made an unsolicited proposal to acquire all of our outstanding common stock and, along with its affiliates, commenced a proxy contest to replace three members of our board of directors with nominees proposed by BW. BW’s unsolicited proposal and proxy contest were subsequently withdrawn on October 8, 2018. Professional (including investment banking fees) and legal fees related to the BW Proposal were $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. No such costs were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest and Finance Costs

Interest and finance costs amounted to $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019,  a decrease of $0.7 million, or 6.5%, from $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease of $0.7 million during this period was due to a decrease of $0.6 million in interest incurred on our long-term debt, primarily resulting from a decrease in average indebtedness, and a reduction of $0.1 million in amortization of deferred financing fees. Average indebtedness, excluding deferred financing fees, decreased from $768.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $707.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance of our long-term debt, net of deferred financing fees of $13.3 million, was $680.8 million.

Unrealized Gain/(Loss) on Derivatives

Unrealized loss on derivatives was approximately $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to an unrealized gain of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The unfavorable $7.8 million change is attributable to changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps caused by changes in forward LIBOR yield curves and reductions in notional amounts.

Realized Gain on Derivatives

Realized gain on derivatives was approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The favorable $0.2 million change is attributable to increases in floating LIBOR resulting in realized gains on interest rate swaps related to the 2015 Debt Facility. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business is capital intensive, and our future success depends on our ability to maintain a high‑quality fleet. As of June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $21.7 million and restricted cash—non-current of $35.6 million.

Our primary sources of capital during the three months ended June 30, 2019  was $8.7 million in cash generated from operations. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance of our long-term debt, net of deferred financing fees of $13.3 million, was $680.8 million including $64.0 million of principal on our long-term debt scheduled to be repaid within the next twelve months.

On July 23, 2019, we entered into an agreement to amend the 2015 Debt Facility as further described in Note 13 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating expenses, including expenses to maintain the quality of our vessels in order to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, the funding of working capital requirements, long-term debt repayments, financing costs, and contractual commitments to purchase scrubbers on ten of our VLGCs represent our short‑term, medium‑term and long‑term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2019. We anticipate satisfying our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months with cash on hand and cash from operations. We may also seek additional liquidity through alternative sources of debt financings and/or through equity financings by way of private or public offerings. However, if these sources are insufficient to satisfy our short-term liquidity needs, or to satisfy our future medium-term or long-term liquidity needs, we may need to seek alternative sources of financing and/or modifications of our existing credit facility and financing arrangements. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing or modifications to our existing credit facility and financing arrangements on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

23

Our dividend policy will also impact our future liquidity position. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend.

As part of our growth strategy, we will continue to consider strategic opportunities, including the acquisition of additional vessels. We may choose to pursue such opportunities through internal growth or joint ventures or business acquisitions. We expect to finance the purchase price of any future acquisitions either through internally generated funds, public or private debt financings, public or private issuances of additional equity securities or a combination of these forms of financing.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents provided by/(used in) operating, financing and investing activities for the three months ended June 30:

	2019		2018
Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities	$	8,693,979	$	(10,559,285)
Net cash used in investing activities		(1,547,034)		(60,320)
Net cash used in financing activities		(16,261,490)		(17,713,359)
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	(9,121,638)	$	(28,440,096)

Operating Cash Flows.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $8.7 million, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The favorable change in cash generated from operations of $19.3 million is primarily related to an increase in operating income, partially offset by changes in working capital, mainly from amounts due from the Helios Pool as distributions from the Helios Pool are impacted by the timing of the completion of voyages and spot market rates.

Net cash flow from operating activities depends upon our overall profitability, market rates for vessels employed on voyage charters, charter rates agreed to for time charters, the timing and amount of payments for drydocking expenditures and unscheduled repairs and maintenance, fluctuations in working capital balances and bunker costs.

Investing Cash Flows.   Net cash used in investing activities was $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with net cash used in investing activities of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, net cash used in investing activities was primarily comprised of our capital expenditures of $1.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Financing Cash Flows.  Net cash used in financing activities was $16.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $17.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, net cash used in financing activities consisted of repayments of long-term debt of $16.0 million and payments for treasury stock repurchases of $0.3 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2018 consisted of repayments of long-term debt of $82.2 million, payments for treasury stock repurchases of $0.5 million, and payment of debt financing costs of $0.2 million, partially offset by long-term debt borrowings of $65.1 million related to the CJNP Japanese Financing, CMNL Japanese Financing, and CNML Japanese Financing.

Capital Expenditures.  LPG transportation is a capital‑intensive business, requiring significant investment to maintain an efficient fleet and to stay in regulatory compliance.

We are generally required to complete a special survey for a vessel once every five years unless an extension of the drydocking to seven and one-half years is granted by the classification society and the vessel is not older than 20 years of age. Intermediate surveys are performed every two and one-half years after the first special survey. Drydocking each vessel takes approximately 10 to 20 days, excluding any additional time for capital improvements. We spend significant amounts for scheduled drydocking (including the cost of classification society surveys) for each of our vessels.  

24

As our vessels age and our fleet expands, our drydocking expenses will increase. We estimate the current cash outlay for a VLGC special survey to be approximately $1.0 million per vessel (excluding any capital improvements, such as scrubbers and ballast water management systems, to the vessel that may be made during such drydockings) and the cost of an intermediate survey to be between $100,000 and $200,000 per vessel. Ongoing costs for compliance with environmental regulations are primarily included as part of our drydocking and classification society survey costs. Additionally, ballast water management systems are expected to be installed on six VLGCs between July 2019 and July 2023 for approximately $0.8 million per vessel. We have entered into contracts to purchase ballast water management systems on two of our VLGCs. Further, in October 2016, the International Maritime Organization (the “IMO”) set January 1, 2020 as the implementation date for vessels to comply with its low sulfur fuel oil requirement, which cuts sulfur levels from 3.5% to 0.5%. We may comply with this regulation by (i) consuming compliant fuels on board (0.5% sulfur), which is likely to be more readily available globally by 2020, but likely at a higher cost; (ii) continuing to consume high-sulfur fuel oil by installing scrubbers for cleaning of the exhaust gases to levels at or below compliance with regulations (0.5% sulfur); or (iii) by retrofitting vessels to be powered by liquefied natural gas or LPG, which may be a viable option subject to the relative pricing of compliant low-sulfur fuel (0.5% sulfur) and LPG. Such costs of compliance with the IMO’s low sulfur fuel oil requirement may be significant. Currently, two of our VLGCs are equipped with scrubbers and we have entered into contracts to purchase scrubbers on ten of our VLGCs, in which we have $10.0 million in remaining contractual commitments as of June 30, 2019. We are not aware of any other future regulatory changes or environmental laws that we expect to have a material impact on our current or future results of operations that we have not already considered. Please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Company—We are subject to regulation and liability, including environmental laws, which could require significant expenditures and adversely affect our financial conditions and results of operations” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Company—We may incur increasing costs for the drydocking, maintenance or replacement of our vessels as they age, and, as our vessels age, the risks associated with older vessels could adversely affect our ability to obtain profitable charters” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following is an update to the Critical Accounting Estimates set forth in “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Impairment of long-lived assets. We review our vessels and other fixed assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In addition, we compare independent appraisals to our carrying value for indicators of impairment to our vessels. When such indicators are present, an asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the estimate of future undiscounted net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition to its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying value is in excess of the estimated future undiscounted net operating cash flows. The impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair market value of the asset. The new lower cost basis would result in a lower annual depreciation than before the impairment.

25

Our estimates of fair market value assume that our vessels are all in good and seaworthy condition without need for repair and if inspected would be certified in class without notations of any kind. Our estimates are based on information available from various industry sources, including:

· reports by industry analysts and data providers that focus on our industry and related dynamics affecting vessel values;

· news and industry reports of similar vessel sales;

· approximate market values for our vessels or similar vessels that we have received from shipbrokers, whether solicited or unsolicited, or that shipbrokers have generally disseminated;

· offers that we may have received from potential purchasers of our vessels; and

· vessel sale prices and values of which we are aware through both formal and informal communications with shipowners, shipbrokers, industry analysts and various other shipping industry participants and observers.

As we obtain information from various industry and other sources, our estimates of fair market value are inherently uncertain. In addition, vessel values are highly volatile; as such, our estimates may not be indicative of the current or future fair market value of our vessels or prices that we could achieve if we were to sell them.

As of June 30, 2019, independent appraisals of our VLGC fleet had indicators of impairment on eighteen of our VLGCs in accordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment. We determined estimated net operating cash flows for our VLGCs by applying various assumptions regarding future time charter equivalent revenues net of commissions, operating expenses, scheduled drydockings, expected offhire and scrap values. These assumptions were based on historical data as well as future expectations. We estimated spot market rates by obtaining the trailing 10-year historical average spot market rates, as published by maritime industry researchers. Estimated outflows for operating expenses and drydocking expenses were based on historical and budgeted costs and were adjusted for assumed inflation. Utilization was based on our historical levels achieved in the spot market and estimates of a residual value consistent with scrap rates used in management's evaluation of scrap value. Such estimates and assumptions regarding expected net operating cash flows require considerable judgment and were based upon historical experience, financial forecasts and industry trends and conditions. Therefore, based on this analysis, we concluded that no impairment charge was necessary because we believe the vessel carrying values are recoverable. No impairment charges were recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

In addition, we performed a sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2019 to determine the effect on recoverability of changes in TCE rates. The sensitivity analysis suggests that we would not incur an impairment charge on any of our VLGCs if daily TCE rates based on the 10-year historical average spot market rates were reduced by 30%. An impairment charge of approximately $31.9 million on eighteen of our VLGCs would be triggered by a reduction of 40% in the 10-year historical average spot market rates. The amount, if any, and timing of any impairment charges we may recognize in the future will depend upon the then current and expected future charter rates and vessel values, which may differ materially from those used in our estimates as of June 30, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For additional discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.

Interest Rate Risk

The LPG shipping industry is capital intensive, requiring significant amounts of investment. Much of this investment is provided in the form of long-term debt. Our 2015 Debt Facility agreement contains interest rates that fluctuate with LIBOR. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge a majority of our exposure to fluctuations of interest rate risk associated with our 2015 Debt Facility. We have hedged $250 million of non-amortizing principal and $184.8 million of amortizing principal of the 2015 Debt Facility as of June 30, 2019 and thus increasing interest rates could adversely impact our future earnings due to additional interest expense on our unhedged debt. For the 12 months following June 30, 2019, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 20 basis points in the underlying LIBOR rates would result in an increase or decrease of our interest expense on all of our non-hedged interest-bearing debt by approximately $0.1 million assuming all other variables are held constant.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only a level of reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

27

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we expect to be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking in merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We are not aware of any claim that is reasonably possible and should be disclosed or probable and for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock. For risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 and the following update thereto.

Our operations outside the United States expose us to global risks, such as political conflict and terrorism, which may interfere with the operation of our vessels and could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, revenues and costs.

We are an international company and primarily conduct our operations outside the United States. Changing economic, political and governmental conditions in the countries where we are engaged in business or where our vessels are registered affect us. In the past, political conflicts have resulted in attacks on vessels, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt shipping. Continuing conflicts, instability and other recent developments in the Middle East and elsewhere, including recent attacks involving vessels and vessel seizures in the Strait of Hormuz and off the coast of Gibraltar, and the presence of U.S. or other armed forces in Afghanistan and Syria, may lead to additional acts of terrorism or armed conflict around the world, and our vessels may face higher risks of being attacked or detained, or shipping routes transited by our vessels, such as the Strait of Hormuz, may be otherwise disrupted. In addition, future hostilities or other political instability in regions where our vessels trade could affect our trade patterns and adversely affect our operations and performance. Further hostilities in or closure of major waterways in the Middle East or Black Sea region could adversely affect the availability of and demand for crude oil and petroleum products, as well as LPG, and negatively affect our investment and our customers' investment decisions over an extended period of time. In addition, sanctions against oil exporting countries such as Iran, Russia, Sudan and Syria may also impact the availability of crude oil, petroleum products and LPG and which would increase the availability of applicable vessels thereby impacting negatively charter rates.

Terrorist attacks, or the perception that LPG or natural gas facilities or oil refineries and LPG carriers are potential terrorist targets, could materially and adversely affect the continued supply of LPG. Concern that LPG and natural gas facilities may be targeted for attack by terrorists has contributed to a significant community and environmental resistance to the construction of a number of natural gas facilities, primarily in North America. If a terrorist incident involving a gas facility or gas carrier did occur, the incident may adversely affect necessary LPG facilities or natural gas facilities currently in operation. Furthermore, future terrorist attacks could result in increased volatility of the financial markets in the United States and globally and could result in an economic recession in the United States or the world. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, revenues and costs.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in United States Dollars)

1.  Basis of Presentation and General Information

Dorian LPG Ltd. (“Dorian”) was incorporated on July 1, 2013 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, is headquartered in the United States and is engaged in the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas (“LPG”) worldwide. Specifically, Dorian and its subsidiaries (together “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) are focused on owning and operating very large gas carriers (“VLGCs”), each with a cargo carrying capacity of greater than 80,000 cbm, in the LPG shipping industry. As of June 30, 2019, our fleet consists of twenty-three VLGCs, including nineteen fuel-efficient 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGCs (“ECO-VLGCs”), three 82,000 cbm VLGCs and one time chartered-in ECO-VLGC. Two of our technically-managed ECO-VLGCs are fitted with exhaust gas cleaning systems (commonly referred to as “scrubbers”) to reduce sulfur emissions. We have entered into contracts for an additional ten of our VLGCs to be fitted with scrubbers. 

On April 1, 2015, Dorian and Phoenix Tankers Pte. Ltd. (“Phoenix”) began operations of Helios LPG Pool LLC (the “Helios Pool”), which entered into pool participation agreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under variable rate time charters to be entered into with owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool of VLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared. Refer to Note 3 below for further description of the Helios Pool.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and related Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows have been included in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended March 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 30, 2019.

Our interim results are subject to seasonal and other fluctuations, and the operating results for any quarter are therefore not necessarily indicative of results that may be otherwise expected for the entire year.

Significant Accounting Policies

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the adoption of new guidance to update the requirements of financial accounting and reporting for lessees and lessors, which became effective April 1, 2019, the same accounting policies have been followed in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019 (refer to Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019), except as discussed herein.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to update the requirements of financial accounting and reporting for lessees and lessors. The updated guidance, for lease terms of more than 12 months, requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee accounts for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases under the updated guidance result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee recognizes interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee recognizes a straight-line total lease expense. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from previous guidance under U.S. GAAP. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In July 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to provide entities with relief from the cost of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing guidance. Entities may elect not to recast comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new leasing guidance and, furthermore, lessors may elect not to separate lease and nonlease components when certain conditions are met. We adopted the amended guidance effective April 1, 2019 and applied the modified retrospective approach. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for those periods. The adoption did not have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. We recognized operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities related to our office leases described below on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of approximately $1.1 million as of June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 11 for a description of our operating lease expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and commitments related to our leases as of June 30, 2019.We did not enter into any operating leases greater than 12 months during the three months ended June 30, 2019. In relation to our time chartered-in VLGC described below, the adoption of the new guidance had no impact on our financial statements since the length of the time charter is not more than 12 months. 

Time charter-out contracts

Our time charter revenues are generated from our vessels being hired by a third-party charterer for a specified period. The charterer has the full discretion over the ports subject to compliance with applicable sanction laws. In a time charter contract, we are responsible for all the costs incurred for running the vessel such as crew costs, vessel insurance, repairs and maintenance, and lubricants. The charterer bears the voyage related costs such as bunker expenses, port charges and canal tolls during the hire period. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over the term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to us. The charterer generally pays the charter hire in advance of the upcoming contract period. We determined that our time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of the amended guidance because (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset, (ii) we do not have substantive substitution rights, and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use. Under the amended guidance, we elected the practical expedients available to lessors to not separate the lease and non-lease components included in the time charter revenue because the pattern of revenue recognition for the lease and non-lease components is the same as it is earned by the passage of time. The adoption of the amended guidance did not impact our accounting for time charter out contracts. 

Time charter-in contracts

We elected the practical expedient of the amended guidance that allows for contracts with an initial lease term of 12 months or less to be excluded from the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The duration of our only time charter-in contract at the time of adoption of the amended guidance was 12 months.

Office leases

We currently have operating leases for our offices in Stamford, Connecticut, USA; London, United Kingdom; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Athens, Greece, which we determined to be operating leases and record the lease expense as part of general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We carried forward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classifications, and (3) initial direct costs. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related right-of-use asset and lease liability as the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. For leases that do not provide a readily determinable discount rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments to present value. The discount rate used ranged from 5.37% to 5.85%. The weighted average discount rate used to calculate the lease liability was 5.47%. The weighted average remaining lease term on our office leases as of June 30, 2019 is 38.2 months.

Our operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019 are as follows:

Description	Location on Balance Sheet	June 30, 2019
Assets:
Current
Office Leases	Other non-current assets	$	1,064,844
Liabilities:
Current
Office Leases	Current portion of long-term operating leases	$	309,813

Dorian (Hellas), S.A.

Dorian (Hellas) S.A. (“DHSA”) formerly provided technical, crew, commercial management, insurance and accounting services to our vessels and had agreements to outsource certain of these services to Eagle Ocean Transport Inc. (“Eagle Ocean Transport”), which is 100% owned by Mr. John C. Hadjipateras, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with DHSA, retroactive to July 2014 and superseding an agreement between Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. and DHSA, for the provision by Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and its subsidiaries of certain chartering and marine operation services to DHSA, for which income was earned and included in “Other income-related parties” totaling $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019,  $1.2 million was due from DHSA and included in “Due from related parties” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets included herein. As of March 31, 2019,  $1.2 million was due from DHSA and included in “Due from related parties” in the audited consolidated balance sheets.

Eagle Ocean Transport incurs office-related costs on behalf of us, for which we reimbursed Eagle Ocean Transport less than $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Such expenses are reimbursed based on their actual cost.  

Helios LPG Pool LLC

On April 1, 2015, Dorian and Phoenix began operations of the Helios Pool, which entered into pool participation agreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under variable rate time charters to be entered into with owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool of VLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared. We hold a 50% interest in the Helios Pool as a joint venture with Phoenix and all significant rights and obligations are equally shared by both parties. All profits of the Helios Pool are distributed to the pool participants based on pool points assigned to each vessel as variable charter hire and, as a result, there are no profits available to the equity investors as a share of equity. We have determined that the Helios Pool is a variable interest entity as it does not have sufficient equity at risk. We do not consolidate the Helios Pool because we are not the primary beneficiary and do not have a controlling financial interest. In consideration of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-50-4e, the significant factors considered and judgments made in determining that the power to direct the activities of the Helios Pool that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance are shared, in that all significant performance activities which relate to approval of pool policies and strategies related to pool customers and the marketing of the pool for the procurement of customers for the pool vessels, addition of new pool vessels and the pool cost management, require unanimous board consent from a board consisting of two members from each joint venture investor. Further, in accordance with the guidance in ASC 810-10-25-38D, the Company and Phoenix are not related parties as defined in ASC 850 nor are they de facto agents pursuant to ASC 810-10, the power over the significant activities of the Helios Pool is shared, and no party is the primary beneficiary in the Helios Pool, or has a controlling financial interest. As of June 30, 2019, the Helios Pool operated twenty-eight VLGCs, including nineteen vessels from our fleet (including one vessel time chartered-in from an unrelated party), four Phoenix vessels, and five other vessels.

As of June 30, 2019, we had receivables from the Helios Pool of $83.5 million, including $20.9 million of working capital contributed for the operation of our vessels in the pool. As of March 31, 2019, we had receivables from the Helios Pool of $62.5 million (net of an amount due to Helios Pool of $0.5 million which is reflected under “Due to related Parties”), including $19.8 million of working capital contributed for the operation of our vessels in the pool. Our maximum exposure to losses from the pool as of June 30, 2019 is limited to the receivables from the pool. The Helios Pool does not have any third-party debt obligations. The Helios Pool has entered into commercial management agreements with each of Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. and Phoenix as commercial managers and has appointed both commercial managers as the exclusive commercial managers of pool vessels. Fees for commercial management services provided by Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. are included in “Other income-related parties” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations included herein and were $0.6 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Additionally, we receive a fixed reimbursement of expenses such as costs for security guards and war risk insurance for vessels operating in high risk areas from the Helios Pool, for which we earned $0.1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, and are included in “Other revenues, net” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations included herein.

Through our vessel owning subsidiaries, we have chartered vessels to the Helios Pool during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The time charter revenue from the Helios Pool is variable depending upon the net results of the pool, operating days and pool points for each vessel. The Helios Pool enters into voyage and time charters with external parties and receives freight and related revenue and, where applicable, incurs voyage costs such as bunkers, port costs and commissions. At the end of each month, the Helios Pool calculates net pool revenues using gross revenues, less voyage expenses of all pool vessels, less fixed time charter hire for any chartered-in vessels, less the general and administrative expenses of the pool. Net pool revenues, less any amounts required for working capital of the Helios Pool, are distributed, to the extent they have been collected from third-party customers of the Helios Pool, as variable rate time charter hire for the relevant vessel to participants based on pool points (vessel attributes such as cargo carrying capacity, fuel consumption, and speed are taken into consideration) and number of days the vessel participated in the pool in the period. We recognize net pool revenues on a monthly basis, when each relevant vessel has participated in the pool during the period and the amount of net pool revenues for the month can be estimated reliably. Revenue earned from the Helios Pool is presented in Note 8.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

9.  Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

Our principal financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash amounts due from related parties, trade accounts receivable and derivative instruments. Our principal financial liabilities consist of long-term debt, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and accrued liabilities.

(a) Concentration of credit risk:  Financial instruments, which may subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of amounts due from our charterers, including the receivables from Helios Pool, cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash. We limit our credit risk with amounts due from our charterers, including those through the Helios Pool, by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our charterers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral from our charterers. We limit our credit risk with our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash by placing it with highly-rated financial institutions.

(b) Interest rate risk:  Our long‑term bank loans are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and hence we are exposed to movements thereto. We entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge a majority of our variable interest rate exposure related to our 2015 Debt Facility. Refer to Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 for information on our interest rate swap agreements related to the 2015 Debt Facility.  

(c) Fair value measurements: Interest rate swaps are stated at fair value, which is determined using a discounted cash flow approach based on market‑based LIBOR swap yield rates. LIBOR swap rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the swaps and, therefore, are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements approximates the amount that we would have to pay or receive for the early termination of the agreements. The following table summarizes the location on the balance sheet of the financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis, which comprise our financial derivatives all of which are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy:

		June 30, 2019				March 31, 2019
	Other non-current assets		Long-term liabilities		Other non-current assets		Long-term liabilities
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments	Derivative instruments		Derivative instruments		Derivative instruments		Derivative instruments
Interest rate swap agreements	$	1,687,524	$	1,309,815	$	6,448,498	$	—

Interest Rate Swap—Realized gain/(loss)	Realized gain on derivatives		1,032,995		782,565
Gain/(loss) on derivatives, net		$	(5,037,794)	$	2,490,181

As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019,  no fair value measurements for assets or liabilities under Level 1 or Level 3 were recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and securities. We did not have any other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

(d) Book values and fair values of financial instruments:   In addition to the derivatives that we are required to record at fair value on our balance sheet (see (c) above) and securities that are included in other current assets in our balance sheet that we record at fair value, we have other financial instruments that are carried at historical cost. These financial instruments include trade accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and accrued liabilities for which the historical carrying value approximates the fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and securities are considered Level 1 items. We have long-term bank debt for which we believe the carrying value approximates their fair value as the loans bear interest at variable interest rates, being LIBOR, which is observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans, and hence are considered as Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. We also have long-term debt related to the Corsair Japanese Financing, Concorde Japanese Financing, Corvette Japanese Financing, CJNP Japanese Financing, CMNL Japanese Financing, and CNML Japanese Financing (collectively the “Japanese Financings”) that incur interest at a fixed-rate with the initial principal amount amortized to the purchase obligation price of each vessel. The Japanese Financings are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy and the fair value of each is based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current observable interest rates.

10.  Earnings/(Loss) Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS represents net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the measurement period. Our restricted stock shares include rights to receive dividends that are subject to the risk of forfeiture if service requirements are not satisfied, and as a result, these shares are not considered participating securities and are excluded from the basic weighted-average shares outstanding calculation. Diluted EPS represent net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the measurement period while also giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The calculations of basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented are as follows:

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to update the requirements of financial accounting and reporting for lessees and lessors. The updated guidance, for lease terms of more than 12 months, requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee accounts for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases under the updated guidance result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee recognizes interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee recognizes a straight-line total lease expense. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from previous guidance under U.S. GAAP. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In July 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to provide entities with relief from the cost of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing guidance. Entities may elect not to recast comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new leasing guidance and, furthermore, lessors may elect not to separate lease and nonlease components when certain conditions are met. We adopted the amended guidance effective April 1, 2019 and applied the modified retrospective approach. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting guidance in effect for those periods. The adoption did not have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. We recognized operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities related to our office leases described below on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of approximately $1.1 million as of June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 11 for a description of our operating lease expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and commitments related to our leases as of June 30, 2019.We did not enter into any operating leases greater than 12 months during the three months ended June 30, 2019. In relation to our time chartered-in VLGC described below, the adoption of the new guidance had no impact on our financial statements since the length of the time charter is not more than 12 months. 

Time charter-out contracts

Our time charter revenues are generated from our vessels being hired by a third-party charterer for a specified period. The charterer has the full discretion over the ports subject to compliance with applicable sanction laws. In a time charter contract, we are responsible for all the costs incurred for running the vessel such as crew costs, vessel insurance, repairs and maintenance, and lubricants. The charterer bears the voyage related costs such as bunker expenses, port charges and canal tolls during the hire period. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over the term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to us. The charterer generally pays the charter hire in advance of the upcoming contract period. We determined that our time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of the amended guidance because (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset, (ii) we do not have substantive substitution rights, and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use. Under the amended guidance, we elected the practical expedients available to lessors to not separate the lease and non-lease components included in the time charter revenue because the pattern of revenue recognition for the lease and non-lease components is the same as it is earned by the passage of time. The adoption of the amended guidance did not impact our accounting for time charter out contracts. 

Time charter-in contracts

We elected the practical expedient of the amended guidance that allows for contracts with an initial lease term of 12 months or less to be excluded from the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The duration of our only time charter-in contract at the time of adoption of the amended guidance was 12 months.

Office leases

We currently have operating leases for our offices in Stamford, Connecticut, USA; London, United Kingdom; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Athens, Greece, which we determined to be operating leases and record the lease expense as part of general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. We carried forward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classifications, and (3) initial direct costs. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related right-of-use asset and lease liability as the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. For leases that do not provide a readily determinable discount rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments to present value. The discount rate used ranged from 5.37% to 5.85%. The weighted average discount rate used to calculate the lease liability was 5.47%. The weighted average remaining lease term on our office leases as of June 30, 2019 is 38.2 months.

Our operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019 are as follows:
