<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking
statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements
in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements 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 Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor
legislation. The words &ldquo;believe&rdquo;, &ldquo;anticipate&rdquo;, &ldquo;intend,&rdquo; &ldquo;estimate&rdquo;, &ldquo;forecast&rdquo;,
&ldquo;plan&rdquo;, &ldquo;potential&rdquo;, &ldquo;should&rdquo;, &ldquo;may&rdquo;, &ldquo;will&rdquo;, &ldquo;expect&rdquo;
and similar expressions are among those that identify forward-looking statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various
assumptions, including, among others, the Company&rsquo;s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company&rsquo;s
records and other data available from third parties. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when
made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible
to predict and are beyond the Company&rsquo;s control, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations,
beliefs or projections.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">In addition to these important factors, other important factors
that, in the Company&rsquo;s 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 fluctuations in charter
rates and vessel values; changes in demand for and the supply of tanker vessel capacity; changes in the Company&rsquo;s operating
expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs; fluctuations in oil prices; the market for the Company&rsquo;s
vessels; competition in the tanker industry; availability of financing and refinancing; charter counterparty performance; ability
to obtain financing and comply with covenants in such financing arrangements; changes in governmental rules and regulations or
actions taken by regulatory authorities; general domestic and international political conditions; potential disruption of shipping
routes due to accidents, piracy or political events; vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hires; and other factors. Please see
the Company&rsquo;s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other
risks and uncertainties. The Company cautions readers of this report not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of their dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of the Company&rsquo;s future performance, and actual results and future developments
may vary materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Ardmore owns and operates a fleet of mid-size product and chemical
tankers ranging from approximately 25,000 to 50,000 deadweight tonnes (&ldquo;Dwt&rdquo;). Ardmore provides seaborne transportation
of petroleum products and chemicals worldwide to oil majors, national oil companies, oil and chemical traders, and chemical companies,
with its modern, fuel-efficient fleet of tankers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Ardmore&rsquo;s core strategy is to continue to develop a modern,
high-quality fleet of product and chemical tankers, build key long-term commercial relationships, and maintain a cost advantage
in assets, operations and overhead, while creating synergies and economies of scale as the company grows. Ardmore provides its
services to customers through voyage charters, commercial pools and time charters and has established close working relationships
with key commercial and technical management partners. Ardmore views the continued development of these relationships as crucial
to its long-term success.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">We are commercially independent, as we have no blanket employment
arrangements with third-party or related-party commercial managers. We market our services directly to our customers, including
a range of pooling service providers. As of March 31, 2017, our fleet consisted of 27 vessels, which are reflected in the following

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">In accordance
with U.S. GAAP, we report gross revenues in our income statement and include voyage expenses among our operating expenses. Ship-owners
base economic decisions regarding the deployment of their vessels upon actual and anticipated time charter equivalent, or &ldquo;TCE&rdquo;
rates, (which represent net revenues divided by revenue days) and industry analysts typically measure rates in terms of TCE rates.
This is because under time charters and pooling arrangements the customer typically pays the voyage expenses, while under voyage
charters, also known as spot market charters, the shipowner usually pays the voyage expenses. As a result, </FONT>for vessels employed
directly in the spot market, revenue is recognized on a gross freight basis, while under time chartering and pool arrangements,
the charterer typically pays voyage expenses and revenue is recognized on a net basis.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">
To normalize these differences, the discussion of revenue below focuses on TCE rates where applicable. </FONT></P>

ended March 31, 2017, as compared to 821 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in revenue days derived from spot
chartering arrangements resulted in an increase in revenue of $19.8 million, partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in spot

the three months ended March 31, 2017. Due to the nature of this expenditure, vessel operating expenses are prone to fluctuations
between periods. Fleet operating costs per day, including technical management fees of an average of $390 per day, were&nbsp;$6,361

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents,
cash flows provided by our operations, our undrawn credit facilities and capital raised through financing transactions. As at March
31, 2017, our total cash and cash equivalents were $45.2 million, a decrease of $10.8 million from $56.0 million as at December
31, 2016. We believe that our working capital, together with expected cash flows from operations and availability under credit
facilities, will be sufficient for our present requirements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Our short-term liquidity requirements include the payment of operating
expenses, drydocking expenditures, debt servicing costs, dividends on our shares of common stock, scheduled repayments of long-term
debt, as well as funding our other working capital requirements. Our short-term spot charters, including our participation in spot
charter pooling arrangements, contribute to the volatility of our net operating cash flow, and thus our ability to generate sufficient
cash flows to meet our short-term liquidity needs. Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing volatility
in profitability and asset values resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for, vessel capacity. In addition, tanker
spot markets historically have exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Tanker spot markets are typically stronger in the
winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere and unpredictable weather patterns that tend
to disrupt vessel scheduling. Time charters provide contracted revenue that reduces the volatility (as rates can fluctuate within
months) and seasonality from revenue generated by vessels that operate in the spot market. Commercial pools reduce revenue volatility
because they aggregate the revenues and expenses of all pool participants and distribute net earnings to the participants based
on an agreed upon formula. Spot charters preserve flexibility to take advantage of increasing rate environments, but also expose
the ship-owner to decreasing rate environments.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Our long-term capital needs are primarily for capital expenditures
and debt repayment. Generally, we expect that our long-term sources of funds will be cash balances, long-term bank borrowings,
capital leases and other debt or equity financings. We expect that we will rely upon internal and external financing sources, including
cash balances, bank borrowings and the issuance of debt and equity securities, to fund acquisitions and expansion capital expenditures.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Our credit facilities and capital leases are described in Notes
2 (&ldquo;Debt&rdquo;) and 3 (&ldquo;Capital Leases&rdquo;), respectively, to our condensed interim consolidated financial statements
included in this Report on Form 6-K. Our financing facilities contain covenants and other restrictions we believe are typical of
debt financing collateralized by vessels, including covenants that restrict the relevant subsidiaries from incurring or guaranteeing
additional indebtedness, granting certain liens, and selling, transferring, assigning or conveying assets. Our financing facilities
do not impose a restriction on dividends, distributions, or returns of capital unless an event of default has occurred, is continuing
or will result from such payment. Our financing facilities require us to maintain various financial covenants. Should we not meet
these financial covenants or other covenants, the lenders may declare our obligations under the applicable agreements immediately
due and payable, and terminate any further loan commitments, which would significantly affect our short-term liquidity requirements.
As at March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants relating to our financing facilities.</P>

which requires us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and
opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our
consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their
effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. Accounting
estimates and assumptions that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they
inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties are discussed in &ldquo;Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects&rdquo;

currencies (primarily the Euro, Singapore Dollar, Pounds Sterling, Hong Kong Dollar) and, as a result, there is a risk that currency
fluctuations may have a negative effect on the value of our cash flows. Such risk may have an adverse effect on our financial condition
and results of operations. We believe these adverse effects to be immaterial and we have not entered into any derivative contracts

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">We are exposed to the impact of interest rate
changes primarily through borrowings that require us to make interest payments based on LIBOR. Significant increases in interest
rates could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to repay debt.&nbsp;We regularly monitor interest rate exposure
and may enter into swap arrangements to hedge exposure where it is considered economically advantageous to do so.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The disclosure in the immediately following
paragraph about the potential effects of changes in interest rates are based on a sensitivity analysis, which models the effects
of hypothetical interest rate shifts. A sensitivity analysis is constrained by several factors, including the necessity to conduct
the analysis based on a single point in time and by the inability to include the extraordinarily complex market reactions that
normally would arise from the market shifts. Although the following results of a sensitivity analysis for changes in interest rates
may have some limited use as a benchmark, they should not be viewed as a forecast. This forward-looking disclosure also is selective
in nature and addresses only the potential impacts on our borrowings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&lsquo;&lsquo;FASB&rsquo;&rsquo;)
issued Accounting Standards Update (&lsquo;&lsquo;ASU&rsquo;&rsquo;) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASU
2014-09, a standard that will supersede virtually all of the existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The standard establishes
a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer. The standard&rsquo;s requirements will also
apply to the sale of some non-financial assets that are not part of the entity&rsquo;s ordinary activities (e.g., sales of property
or plant and equipment). Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue, information about performance
obligations, changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates. The FASB
has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification on accounting for licenses of intellectual property
and identifying performance obligations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to
each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying
the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We currently anticipate
adopting the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented. The new standard will
be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">We are undertaking a comprehensive approach to assess the impact
of the guidance on our business by reviewing our current accounting policies and practices to identify any potential differences
that may result from applying the new requirements to our consolidated financial statements. We do not anticipate that this standard
will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">We are liaising with other shipping companies on business assumptions,
processes, systems and controls to fully determine revenue recognition and disclosure under the new standard. We continue to make
significant progress on our review of the standard and at present are considering identification of certain performance obligations
and the timing of related revenue recognition on our charter arrangements. Our initial assessment may change as we continue to
refine these assumptions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, a standard
which will replace previous topics on lease accounting. The revised guidance will require lessees to recognize on their balance
sheet a right of use asset and corresponding liability in respect of all material lease contracts. Ardmore currently recognizes
on its balance sheet those leases classified as capital leases. Those leases that are currently accounted for as operating leases
will have to be reviewed and potentially included on Ardmore&rsquo;s balance sheet in accordance with the new guidance. This guidance
is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and a modified retrospective approach is required for leases that exist or are
entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Management anticipates that the
standard will be adopted at the same time as ASC 606 and that there will be no significant impact on its consolidated financial
statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to
Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The new update will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized
in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The update will also allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee&rsquo;s
shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to
account for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance
did not have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows
(Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF),
to address the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also
clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class
of cash flows. The standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption
permitted. Entities are required to apply the guidance retrospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact
of this standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.</P>

Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, to address classification of activity related to restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents
in the cash flows. The standard eliminates the presentation of transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash
equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet, a reconciliation of the totals in the cash flows to
the related captions in the balance sheet are required, either on the face of the cash flow or in the notes to the financial statements.
Additional disclosures are required for the nature of the restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The standard will be
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted.

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">As at March 31, 2017, ASC had granted 1,349,154 SARs (inclusive
of 5,779 forfeited SARs) to certain of its officers and directors under its 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Under a SAR award, the
grantee is entitled to receive the appreciation of a share of ASC&rsquo;s common stock following the grant of the award. Each SAR
provides for a payment of an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of ASC&rsquo;s common stock
at the time of exercise of the SAR over the per share exercise price of the SAR, multiplied by the number of shares for which the
SAR is then exercised. Payment under the SAR will be made in the form of shares of ASC&rsquo;s common stock, based on the fair
market value of a share of ASC&rsquo;s common stock at the time of exercise of the SAR.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The SAR awards provide that in no event will the appreciation per
share for any portion of the SAR award be deemed to exceed four times (i.e., 400%) the per share exercise price of the SAR. In
other words, the fair market value of a share of the Company&rsquo;s common stock for purposes of calculating the amount payable
under the SAR is not deemed to exceed five times (i.e. 500%) the per share exercise price of the SAR. Any appreciation in excess
of four times the per share exercise price of the SAR will be disregarded for purposes of calculating the amount payable under
the SAR. Vesting on all awards up to July 31, 2016 was subject to certain market conditions being met. On that date the vesting
reverted to being solely dependent on time of service. The grant date fair value was calculated by applying a model based on the
Monte Carlo simulation. The model inputs were the grant price, dividend yield based on the initial intended dividend set out by
the Company, a risk-free rate of return equal to the zero coupon U.S. Treasury bill commensurate with the contractual terms of
the units and expected volatility based on the average of the most recent historical volatilities in the Company&rsquo;s peer group.
A summary of awards, simulation inputs and outputs is as follows:</P>

The Company measures the cost of such awards using the grant date fair value of the award and recognizes that cost, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which generally equals the vesting period. If the award contains a market condition, such conditions are included in the determination of the fair value of the stock unit. Once the fair value has been determined, the associated expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Prior to the IPO, GA Holdings LLC, who was then ASC&amp;#8217;s sole shareholder, exchanged its &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; 100&lt;/font&gt;% interest in Ardmore Shipping LLC (&amp;#8216;&amp;#8216;ASLLC&amp;#8217;&amp;#8217;) for &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; 8,049,500&lt;/font&gt; shares of ASC, and ASLLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of ASC. Immediately following the IPO, GA Holdings LLC held &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; 44.6&lt;/font&gt;% of the outstanding common stock of ASC, with the remaining &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; 55.4&lt;/font&gt;% held by public investors.

In November 2015, GA Holdings LLC sold &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; 4,000,000&lt;/font&gt; shares of ASC common stock in an underwritten public offering. In June 2016, Ardmore completed a public offering of &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; 7,500,000&lt;/font&gt; shares of its common stock.

The standard establishes a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer. The standard&amp;#8217;s requirements will also apply to the sale of some non-financial assets that are not part of the entity&amp;#8217;s ordinary activities (e.g., sales of property or plant and equipment). Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue, information about performance obligations, changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification on accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented. The new standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; We are undertaking a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of the guidance on our business by reviewing our current accounting policies and practices to identify any potential differences that may result from applying the new requirements to our consolidated financial statements. We do not anticipate that this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; We are liaising with other shipping companies on business assumptions, processes, systems and controls to fully determine revenue recognition and disclosure under the new standard. We continue to make significant progress on our review of the standard and at present are considering identification of certain performance obligations and the timing of related revenue recognition on our charter arrangements. Our initial assessment may change as we continue to refine these assumptions.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, a standard which will replace previous topics on lease accounting. The revised guidance will require lessees to recognize on their balance sheet a right of use asset and corresponding liability in respect of all material lease contracts. Ardmore currently recognizes on its balance sheet those leases classified as capital leases. Those leases that are currently accounted for as operating leases will have to be reviewed and potentially included on Ardmore&amp;#8217;s balance sheet in accordance with the new guidance. This guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and a modified retrospective approach is required for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Management anticipates that the standard will be adopted at the same time as ASC 606 and that there will be no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The new update will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The update will also allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee&amp;#8217;s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), to address the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows.

The standard establishes a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer. The standard&amp;#8217;s requirements will also apply to the sale of some non-financial assets that are not part of the entity&amp;#8217;s ordinary activities (e.g., sales of property or plant and equipment). Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue, information about performance obligations, changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification on accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented. The new standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; We are undertaking a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of the guidance on our business by reviewing our current accounting policies and practices to identify any potential differences that may result from applying the new requirements to our consolidated financial statements. We do not anticipate that this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; We are liaising with other shipping companies on business assumptions, processes, systems and controls to fully determine revenue recognition and disclosure under the new standard. We continue to make significant progress on our review of the standard and at present are considering identification of certain performance obligations and the timing of related revenue recognition on our charter arrangements. Our initial assessment may change as we continue to refine these assumptions.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, a standard which will replace previous topics on lease accounting. The revised guidance will require lessees to recognize on their balance sheet a right of use asset and corresponding liability in respect of all material lease contracts. Ardmore currently recognizes on its balance sheet those leases classified as capital leases. Those leases that are currently accounted for as operating leases will have to be reviewed and potentially included on Ardmore&amp;#8217;s balance sheet in accordance with the new guidance. This guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and a modified retrospective approach is required for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Management anticipates that the standard will be adopted at the same time as ASC 606 and that there will be no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The new update will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The update will also allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee&amp;#8217;s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; &amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt; In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), to address the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows.

Under a SAR award, the grantee is entitled to receive the appreciation of a share of ASC&amp;#8217;s common stock following the grant of the award. Each SAR provides for a payment of an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of ASC&amp;#8217;s common stock at the time of exercise of the SAR over the per share exercise price of the SAR, multiplied by the number of shares for which the SAR is then exercised. Payment under the SAR will be made in the form of shares of ASC&amp;#8217;s common stock, based on the fair market value of a share of ASC&amp;#8217;s common stock at the time of exercise of the SAR.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt; &lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt; &lt;font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;The SAR awards provide that in no event will the appreciation per share for any portion of the SAR award be deemed to exceed four times (i.e., &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; 400&lt;/font&gt;%) the per share exercise price of the SAR. In other words, the fair market value of a share of the Company&amp;#8217;s&amp;#160; common stock for purposes of calculating the amount payable under the SAR is not deemed to exceed five times (i.e. &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt; 500&lt;/font&gt;%) the per share exercise price of the SAR. Any appreciation in excess of four times the per share exercise price of the SAR will be disregarded for purposes of calculating the amount payable under the SAR. Vesting on all awards up to July 31, 2016 was subject to certain market conditions being met. On that date the vesting&amp;#160;reverted to being solely dependent on time of service. The grant date fair value was calculated by applying a model based on the Monte Carlo simulation. The model inputs were the grant price, dividend yield based on the initial intended dividend set out by the Company, a risk-free rate of return equal to the zero coupon U.S. Treasury bill commensurate with the contractual terms of the units and expected volatility based on the average of the most recent historical volatilities in the Company&amp;#8217;s peer group. &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif';

The recognition of share-based compensation costs related to the tranches that vested before July 31, 2016 would have been accelerated if the market condition had been met and the requisite service period had been completed. The Company&amp;#8217;s policy for issuing shares upon the exercise, if any, of the SARs is to register and issue new common shares to the beneficiary.

The standard establishes a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer. The standard&#8217;s requirements will also apply to the sale of some non-financial assets that are not part of the entity&#8217;s ordinary activities (e.g., sales of property or plant and equipment). Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue, information about performance obligations, changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates.

Ardmore currently recognizes on its balance sheet those leases classified as capital leases. Those leases that are currently accounted for as operating leases will have to be reviewed and potentially included on Ardmore&#8217;s balance sheet in accordance with the new guidance. This guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and a modified retrospective approach is required for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements.

Under a SAR award, the grantee is entitled to receive the appreciation of a share of ASC&#8217;s common stock following the grant of the award. Each SAR provides for a payment of an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of ASC&#8217;s common stock at the time of exercise of the SAR over the per share exercise price of the SAR, multiplied by the number of shares for which the SAR is then exercised. Payment under the SAR will be made in the form of shares of ASC&#8217;s common stock, based on the fair market value of a share of ASC&#8217;s common stock at the time of exercise of the SAR.</font></div> <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">&#160;</font></div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></font> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The SAR awards provide that in no event will the appreciation per share for any portion of the SAR award be deemed to exceed four times (i.e., <font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> 400</font>%) the per share exercise price of the SAR. In other words, the fair market value of a share of the Company&#8217;s&#160; common stock for purposes of calculating the amount payable under the SAR is not deemed to exceed five times (i.e. <font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> 500</font>%) the per share exercise price of the SAR. Any appreciation in excess of four times the per share exercise price of the SAR will be disregarded for purposes of calculating the amount payable under the SAR. Vesting on all awards up to July 31, 2016 was subject to certain market conditions being met. On that date the vesting&#160;reverted to being solely dependent on time of service. The grant date fair value was calculated by applying a model based on the Monte Carlo simulation. The model inputs were the grant price, dividend yield based on the initial intended dividend set out by the Company, a risk-free rate of return equal to the zero coupon U.S. Treasury bill commensurate with the contractual terms of the units and expected volatility based on the average of the most recent historical volatilities in the Company&#8217;s peer group. <font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif';

The standard establishes a five-step model that will apply to revenue earned from a contract with a customer. The standard&#8217;s requirements will also apply to the sale of some non-financial assets that are not part of the entity&#8217;s ordinary activities (e.g., sales of property or plant and equipment). Extensive disclosures will be required, including disaggregation of total revenue, information about performance obligations, changes in contract asset and liability account balances between periods and key judgments and estimates. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including clarification on accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations.</div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> &#160;</div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). We currently anticipate adopting the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented. The new standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018.</div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> &#160;</div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> We are undertaking a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of the guidance on our business by reviewing our current accounting policies and practices to identify any potential differences that may result from applying the new requirements to our consolidated financial statements.

The revised guidance will require lessees to recognize on their balance sheet a right of use asset and corresponding liability in respect of all material lease contracts. Ardmore currently recognizes on its balance sheet those leases classified as capital leases. Those leases that are currently accounted for as operating leases will have to be reviewed and potentially included on Ardmore&#8217;s balance sheet in accordance with the new guidance. This guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and a modified retrospective approach is required for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Management anticipates that the standard will be adopted at the same time as ASC 606 and that there will be no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.&#160;</div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0pt 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> &#160;</div> <div style="CLEAR:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"> In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The new update will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The update will also allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee&#8217;s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017.

The new guidance also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The standard will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the guidance retrospectively.

The standard eliminates the presentation of transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet, a reconciliation of the totals in the cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet are required, either on the face of the cash flow or in the notes to the financial statements. Additional disclosures are required for the nature of the restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents.

The standard contains final guidance that clarifies the scope and application of ASC 610-20 on the sale or transfer of non-financial assets and in substance non-financial assets to non-customers, including partial sales. The standard applies to non-financial assets, including real estate, ships and intellectual property, and clarifies that the derecognition of all businesses is in the scope of ASC 810.
