is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a
per voyage basis. Our method of calculating TCE is consistent with
industry standards and is determined by dividing voyage revenues (net
of voyage expenses) by voyage days for the relevant time period. Voyage
expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are
unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by the
charterer under a time charter contract, as well as commissions. TCE is
a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to
compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's
performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (i.e., spot
charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels
may be employed between the periods.</font></td>

carrier market is cyclical with attendant volatility in profitability,
charter rates and vessel values. Recent fluctuations attest to the
volatility in the gas carrier market. Because many factors influencing
the supply of, and demand for, vessel capacity are unpredictable, the
timing, direction and degree of changes in the international gas
carrier market are also not predictable.</p>

rate volatility among different types of gas carriers has varied
widely. To the extent we have vessels in the spot market, we are
exposed to changes in spot rates for gas carriers and such changes can
affect our earnings and the value of our gas carriers at any given
time. There is no assurance that as our period charters expire that
they will be extended or renewed on favorable terms.</p>

addition, when LPG vessel prices are considered to be low, companies
not usually involved in shipping may make speculative vessel orders,
thereby increasing the LPG shipping supply, satisfying demand sooner
and potentially suppressing charter rates. Any of the foregoing factors
could have an adverse effect on our revenues, profitability and
financial position.</p>

States Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, established an extensive
regulatory and liability regime for the protection and cleanup of the
environment from oil spills. OPA  90 applies to discharges of any
oil from a vessel, including discharges of fuel and lubricants from an
LPG carrier. OPA affects all owners and operators whose vessels trade
in the United States, its territories and possessions or whose vessels
operate in United States waters, which includes the United States'
territorial sea and its 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone. Our
gas carriers will not be carrying oil in bulk as cargo, and will
therefore not be subject to oil spill liability under the provisions of
OPA 90 (except in the case of a discharge of fuel oil or bunkers). Gas
carriers, however, are considered &lsquo;&lsquo;vessels&rsquo;&rsquo;
for purposes of OPA financial responsibility requirements. Under OPA,
vessel owners, operators and bareboat charterers are
&lsquo;&lsquo;responsible parties&rsquo;&rsquo; and are jointly,
severally and strictly liable (unless the discharge of pollutants
results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God
or an act of war) for all containment and clean-up costs and other
damages arising from discharges or threatened discharges of pollutants
from their vessels. See &lsquo;&lsquo;Environmental and Other
Regulation.&rsquo;&rsquo;</p>

Organization (the &lsquo;&lsquo;IMO&rsquo;&rsquo;), which is an agency
of the United Nations, has adopted final regulations that are designed
to reduce pollution in international waters, both from accidents and
from routine operations. These regulations address oil discharges,
ballasting and unloading operations, sewage, garbage, and air
emissions. In complying with OPA 90 and the IMO regulations and other
regulations that may be adopted, including regulations governing the
safety, construction, equipment, operation and liability of gas
carriers, shipowners and operators may be required to incur additional
costs in meeting new maintenance and inspection requirements, in

Code requires shipowners and bareboat
charterers to develop and maintain an extensive &lsquo;&lsquo;Safety
Management System&rsquo;&rsquo; that includes the adoption of a safety
and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and
procedures for safe operation and describing procedures for dealing
with emergencies. The failure of a shipowner or bareboat charterer to
comply with the ISM Code may subject the owner or charterer to
increased liability, may decrease available insurance coverage for the
affected vessels, and may result in a denial of access to, or detention
in, certain ports. Currently, each of the vessels in our fleet is ISM
Code-certified. Because these certifications are critical to our
business, we place a high priority on maintaining them. For this
reason, we believe it is highly unlikely that such certifications could
be discontinued. However, there can be no assurance that such
certifications will be maintained indefinitely.</p>

maintain, for each of our vessels, pollution liability coverage
insurance in the amount of $1.0  billion per incident. In
addition, we carry hull and machinery and protection and indemnity
insurance to cover the risks of fire and explosion. Given the
relatively small amount of bunkers our vessels carry, we believe that a
spill of oil from the vessels should not be catastrophic. However,
under certain circumstances, fire and explosion could result in a
catastrophic loss. While we believe that our present insurance coverage
is adequate, not all risks can be insured, and there can be no
guarantee that any specific claim will be paid, or that we will always
be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates. If
the damages from a catastrophic spill exceeded our insurance coverage,
it would have a severe effect on us and could possibly result in our
insolvency.</p>

to manage vessels that compete directly with ours. As long as Stealth
Maritime is our fleet manager, Stealth Maritime has granted us a right
of first refusal to acquire any LPG carrier, which Stealth Maritime,
its principals or any of their controlled affiliates may acquire in the
future. In addition, Stealth Maritime has agreed that it will not
charter-in any LPG carrier without first offering the opportunity to
charter-in such vessel to us. Were we, however, to decline any such
opportunity offered to us or if we do not have the resources or desire
to accept any such opportunity, Stealth Maritime could retain and
manage the vessel. Furthermore, this right of first refusal does not
prohibit Stealth Maritime from managing vessels owned by unaffiliated
third parties in competition with us. In such cases, they could compete
with our fleet and may face conflicts between their own interests and
their obligations to us. In addition, in the future, we may also

such vessels would be in competition with Stealth Maritime and

maintaining a vessel in good operating condition increase with its age.
The average age of the 24 LPG carriers in our fleet is approximately
10.8 years. Older vessels are typically less fuel efficient and more
costly to maintain than more recently constructed vessels due to
improvements in engine technology. Cargo insurance rates increase with
the age of a vessel, making older vessels less desirable to
charterers.</p>

standards related to the age of vessels may require expenditures for
alterations, or the addition of new equipment, to our vessels and may

cannot assure you that, as our vessels age, market conditions will
justify those expenditures or enable us to operate our vessels
profitably during the remainder of their useful lives. If we sell
vessels, we cannot be certain that the sales prices will equal at least
their carrying values at that time.</p>

from our time chartering activities does not constitute

and operate in connection with the production of that income do not
constitute passive assets. We intend to treat the income that we derive

can be given that the United States Internal Revenue Service, or IRS,
or a court of law will accept our position, and there is a risk that
the IRS or a court of law could determine that we have been, are or
will become a PFIC. Moreover, no assurance can be given that we would
not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if there were to be
changes in the nature and extent of our operations.</p>

expectation that we will not be treated as a PFIC is based in part upon
our beliefs and expectations regarding the value of the vessels that we

assets. Should our beliefs or expectations turn out to be incorrect,
then we could, in certain circumstances, be treated as a PFIC.</p>

cash we have available for distribution as dividends. Our loan
agreements, including the loan agreements with Fortis Bank and DnB NOR
Bank, or other financing arrangements, as well as Marshall Islands law,
may also restrict or prohibit our declaration and payment of dividends
under some circumstances. There can be no assurance that we will pay
regular quarterly dividends in the future. Such dividends as we do pay
may be in amounts less than the $0.1875 per share dividend we declared
and paid in January  2006.</p>

arrangements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the
payment of dividends and other factors. Marshall Islands law generally
prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus or while a
company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent upon the payment of
such dividends.</p>

principal executive offices are located at 331 Kiffissias Avenue,

oil and natural gas. We believe that we have established a reputation
as a safe, cost efficient operator of modern and well-maintained LPG
carriers. We also believe that these attributes, together with our
strategic focus on meeting our customers&rsquo; chartering needs, has
contributed to our ability to attract leading charterers as our
customers and to our success in obtaining charter renewals. We are
managed by Stealth Maritime, a privately owned company controlled by
the Vafias Group.</p>

Our Fleet</p>
<p style="font-family:serif;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-size:10pt;  width: 456pt; text-align: left; font-style: normal; line-height: 12pt; padding-top:6pt; padding-left:0pt; padding-right:0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 20pt; background-color: #ffffff">We have a five year management agreement with Stealth
Maritime which expires in December  2009 under which Stealth
Maritime will be responsible for the administration of our affairs and
the commercial and technical management of our fleet. Under the
agreement, we pay Stealth Maritime a management fee of $390 (based on
an exchange rate of &euro;1.00:US$1.25) per vessel operating
under a voyage or time charter per day on a monthly basis in advance,
pro rated for the calendar days we own the vessels. We pay a fee of
$125 (based on an exchange rate of &euro;1.00:US$1.25) per
vessel per day for each of our vessels operating on bareboat charter.
The management fee will be adjusted quarterly based on the United
States dollar/Euro exchange rate as published by Bloomberg LP two days
prior to the end of the previous calendar quarter. We are also
obligated to pay Stealth Maritime a fee equal to 1.25% of the
gross freight, demurrage and charter hire collected from the employment
of our vessels. Stealth Maritime will also earn a fee equal to
1.0% of the contract price of any vessel bought or sold by them
on our behalf. In addition, as long as Stealth Maritime is our fleet
manager, Stealth Maritime has granted us a right of first refusal to
acquire any LPG carrier, which Stealth Maritime may acquire in the
future. In addition, Stealth Maritime has agreed that it will not
charter-in any LPG carrier without first offering the opportunity to
charter-in such vessel to us. This right of first refusal does not
prohibit Stealth Maritime from managing vessels owned by unaffiliated
third parties in competition with us. Additional vessels that we may
acquire in the future may be managed by Stealth Maritime, which is an
affiliate of the Vafias Group, or by other unaffiliated management
companies. In addition, we reimburse Stealth Maritime for its payment
of the compensation to our CEO and Chief Financial Officer. During the
year ended December  31,  2005, such compensation was in
the aggregate amount of &euro;513,559 (US$608,156, based on the
exchange rate of &euro;1.00:US$1.1842 in effect on
December  29,  2005) on an annualized basis. Of this
amount, &euro;188,862 ($223,651, based on the exchange rate of
&euro;1.00:US$1.1842 in effect on December 29, 2005) was paid
to our CEO and Chief Financial Officer since our CEO was paid for only
four months of service and our Chief Financial Officer for only six
months of service provided to us during the year ended December 31,
2005.</p>

management of the vessels in our fleet, other than the <font style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic">Gas
Eternity</font>, which Stealth Maritime has technically managed as of
March 31, 2006, to either V.Ships, a ship management company based in
Cyprus, Tesma, a ship management company based in Singapore, Hanseatic
Shipping Co. Ltd., or Hanseatic Shipping, a privately owned ship
management company in Cyprus or Swan Shipping Corporation (Manila), or
Swan Shipping, a ship management company based in the Philippines.
These four technical managers, which Stealth Maritime will continue to
supervise, are responsible for the day-to-day activities of those
vessels including the operation, crewing, maintenance and repair of our
ships; they also must ensure that our vessels&rsquo; operations comply
with environmental and other regulatory requirements. V.Ships is an
international ship management company with offices in 26 countries. It
services a fleet of over 600 vessels of all major vessel types. Since
2001, V.Ships has been the largest provider of independent ship
management and related marine services to the shipping industry in the
world. Tesma (Singapore) is one of the technical competence centers of
Tesma Holding, a Danish alliance network of professional ship
management companies currently providing full technical service to over
70 vessels and providing crews to over 150 vessels. Hanseatic Shipping
has more than 230 ships in management including containerships, bulk
carriers, oil tankers, gas carriers, RoRos and multi-purpose ships.
Hanseatic Shipping was the first off-shore ship management company in
Cyprus and played an active role in establishing Cyprus as a leading
ship management center. Swan Shipping, originally a joint venture
company between Southwest Maritime Corporation of Manila and Navix
Marine (S) Pte. Ltd. of Singapore, has been involved in ship management
operations in the Philippines since 1995 and has provided full
technical management services to 17 LPG carriers. The technical
management agreements with V.Ships (Cyprus), Tesma (Singapore),
Hanseatic Shipping and Swan Shipping may be terminated at any time upon
three months' notice.</p>

our fleet. We deploy our fleet between period charters, including time
and bareboat charters which can last up to several years, and spot
market charters (through voyage charters and short-term time charters),
which generally last from one to six months, subject to market
conditions. Period charters and short-term time charters are for a
fixed period of time. A voyage charter is generally a contract to carry
a specific cargo from a loading port to a discharging port for an
agreed-upon total charge.</p>

provide more predictable cash flows, but can yield lower profit margins
than vessels operating in the spot market during periods characterized
by favorable market conditions. As a result, during the time our LPG
carriers are committed on period charters, we will be unable, during
periods of improving charter markets, to take advantage of improved
charter rates as we could if our LPG carriers were employed only on
spot charters. Vessels operating in the spot market generate revenues
that are less predictable but may enable us to capture increased profit
margins during periods of improvements in LPG charter rates although we
are then exposed to the risk of declining LPG carrier charter rates,
which may have a materially adverse impact on our financial
performance. If we commit vessels to period charters, future spot
market rates may be higher or lower than those rates at which we have
period chartered our vessels.</p>

industrial users of those products. Our largest customer is Petredec

States Coast Guard, harbor master or equivalent), classification
societies, flag state administration (country of registry) and

require us to obtain permits, licenses and certificates for the
operation of our vessels. Failure to maintain necessary permits or
approvals could require us to incur substantial costs or temporarily
suspend operation of one or more of our vessels.</p>

the heightened level of environmental and quality concerns among
insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers is leading to greater
inspection and safety requirements on all vessels and may accelerate
the scrapping of older vessels throughout the industry. Increasing
environmental concerns have created a demand for vessels that conform
to the stricter environmental standards. We are required to maintain
operating standards for all of our vessels that will emphasize
operational safety, quality maintenance, continuous training of our
officers and crews and compliance with United States and international
regulations. We believe that the operation of our vessels is in
substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations; however, because such laws and regulations are frequently
changed and may impose increasingly stricter requirements, such future
requirements may limit our ability to do business, increase our
operating costs, force the early retirement of our vessels, and/or
affect their resale value, all of which could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.</p>

product tanks must be cleaned. In September  1997, the IMO
adopted MARPOL Annex VI to address air pollution from ships. Annex VI
was ratified in May  2004, and became effective in May
2005. Annex VI sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions
from ship exhausts and prohibit deliberate emissions of ozone depleting
substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons. Annex VI also includes a
global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil and allows for special
areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur
emissions. Annex VI has been ratified by some, but not all IMO member
states. Vessels that are subject to Annex VI must, if built before the
effective date, obtain an International Air Pollution Prevention
Certificate evidencing compliance with Annex VI not later than either
the first dry docking after May 19, 2005, but no later than May 19,
2008. All vessels subject to Annex VI and built after May 19, 2005 must
also have this Certificate. Options for implementing the requirements
of Annex VI include use of low sulfur fuels, modifications to vessel
engines, or the addition of post combustion emission controls. We have
obtained International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificates for all of
our vessels, and believe that maintaining compliance with Annex VI will
not have an adverse financial impact on the operation of our

ISM Code requires shipowners and bareboat charterers to develop and
maintain an extensive &lsquo;&lsquo;Safety Management
System&rsquo;&rsquo; that includes the adoption of a safety and
environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and
procedures for safe operation and describing procedures for dealing
with emergencies. The failure of a shipowner or bareboat charterer to
comply with the ISM Code may subject such party to increased liability,
decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels and
result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports.
Currently, each of the vessels in our fleet is ISM code-certified.

maintained indefinitely.</p>

limitation on liability of $1,200 per gross ton and the United States
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
liability limit of $300 per gross ton. Under the United States Coast
Guard regulations implementing OPA, vessel owners and operators may
evidence their financial responsibility by showing proof of insurance,
surety bond, self-insurance, or guaranty. Under the OPA regulations, an

certificates of financial responsibility provide, in accordance with
OPA, that claimants may bring suit directly against an insurer or
guarantor that furnishes certificates of financial responsibility. In
the event that such insurer or guarantor is sued directly, it is
prohibited from asserting any contractual defense that it may have had
against the responsible party and is limited to asserting those
defenses available to the responsible party and the defense that the
incident was caused by the willful misconduct of the responsible party.
Certain organizations, which had typically provided certificates of
financial responsibility under pre-OPA 90 laws, including the major
protection and indemnity organizations, have declined to furnish
evidence of insurance for vessel owners and operators if they are
subject to direct actions or required to waive insurance policy
defenses.</p>

responsibility regulations may also be satisfied by evidence of surety
bond, guaranty or by self-insurance. Under the self-insurance
provisions, the ship owner or operator must have a net worth and
working capital, measured in assets located in the United States
against liabilities located anywhere in the world, that exceeds the
applicable amount of financial responsibility. We have complied with
the United States Coast Guard regulations by providing a financial
guaranty evidencing sufficient self-insurance.</p>

certifies that the vessel has been built and maintained in accordance
with the rules of such classification society and complies with
applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the
vessel and the international conventions of which that country is a
member. Each vessel is inspected by a surveyor of the classification
society every year, an annual survey, every two to three years, an
intermediate survey, and every four to five years, a special survey.
Vessels also may be required, as part of the intermediate survey
process, to be dry-docked every 30 to 36 months for inspection of the
underwater parts of the vessel and for necessary repair related to such
inspection.</p>

of our customers, including the major oil companies, regularly inspect

failure, physical damage, collision, property loss, cargo loss or
damage and business interruption due to political circumstances in
foreign countries, hostilities and labor strikes. In addition, there is
always an inherent possibility of marine disaster, including
environmental mishaps, and the liabilities arising from owning and
operating vessels in international trade. While we believe that our
present insurance coverage is adequate, not all risks can be insured,
and there can be no guarantee that any specific claim will be paid, or
that we will always be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at
reasonable rates.</p>

which includes the risk of actual or constructive total loss, for all
of our vessels. The vessels are each covered up to at least fair market
value, with deductibles of $75,000 per vessel.</p>

increased value insurance for most of the vessels. Under the increased
value insurance in case of total loss of the vessel we will be able to
recover the sum insured under the increased value policy in addition to
the sum insured under the Hull and Machinery policy. Increased value
insurance also covers excess liabilities which are not recoverable in
full by the Hull and Machinery policies by reason of under

third party liabilities in connection with our shipping activities.
This includes third-party liability and other related expenses of
injury or death of crew, passengers and other third parties, loss or
damage to cargo, claims arising from collisions with other vessels,
damage to other third-party property, pollution arising from oil or
other substances, and salvage, towing and other related costs,
including wreck removal. Protection and indemnity insurance is a form
of mutual indemnity insurance, extended by protection and indemnity
mutual associations, or &lsquo;&lsquo;clubs.&rsquo;&rsquo; Subject to
the &lsquo;&lsquo;capping&rsquo;&rsquo; discussed below, our coverage,
except for pollution, is unlimited.</p>

indemnity insurance coverage for pollution is $1.0  billion per
vessel per incident. The 14 P&amp;I Associations that comprise the
International Group insure approximately 90% of the world's
commercial tonnage and have entered into a pooling agreement to
reinsure each association's liabilities. Each P&amp;I Association
has capped its exposure to this pooling agreement at $4.5
billion. As a member of a P&amp;I Association, which is a member of the
International Group, we are subject to calls payable to the
associations based on its claim records as well as the claim records of
all other members of the individual associations, and members of the

are well positioned from a competitive standpoint in terms of our
vessels meeting the ongoing needs of increasingly discerning
charterers. Also we now have the largest single-owned fleet in our
sector which also in our view positions us well from the standpoint of
charterers and competitors alike. However we believe the LPG shipping
sector will continue to be highly competitive, and driven by both
energy production and consumption. However due to our rapid expansion
during 2005 we believe we have enhanced our competitive position within
the industry and that we have increasingly gained the respect of our
customer base.</p>

the Republic of the Marshall Islands in December  2004, we are
involved in providing international seaborne transportation services to
LPG producers and users. We carry various petroleum gas products in
liquefied form, including propane, butane, butadiene, isopropane,
propylene and vinyl chloride monomer, which are all byproducts of the
production of crude oil and natural gas. As of December
31,  2004, our fleet consisted of four LPG carriers, the first of
which was delivered in October  2004. As of December
31,  2005, our fleet consisted of 21 vessels and has since grown
to 24 vessels. We generated revenues from our LPG transportation
business only during the period from October  12 through
December  31 in 2004. As a result, comparisons of our results of
operations for the years ended December  31,  2005 with the
period ended December  31,  2004 are not meaningful or
indicative of our future operating results. We took delivery of 17 LPG
carriers in the year ended December  31,  2005. In
October  2005, we completed an initial public offering of our
shares of common stock in the United States and our shares of common
stock began trading on the Nasdaq National Market.</p>

or voyage charters, which generally last from one to six months, as
market conditions warrant. Period charters and short term time charters
are for a fixed period of time.</p>

on period charters provide more predictable cash flows, but can yield
lower profit margins than vessels operating in the spot charter market
during periods characterized by favorable market conditions. As a
result, during the time our LPG carriers are committed on period
charters we will be unable, during periods of improving charter
markets, to take advantage of improving charter rates as we could if
our LPG carriers were employed only on spot charters. Vessels operating
in the spot charter market generate revenues that are less predictable
but may enable us to capture increased profit margins during periods of
improving charter rates, although we are then exposed to the risk of
declining LPG carrier charter rates, which may have a materially
adverse impact on our financial performance. If we commit vessels to
time charters, future spot market rates may be higher or lower than
those rates at which we have time chartered our vessels.</p>

canal charges, bunker (fuel oil) expenses and commissions. These
charges and expenses increase in periods during which vessels are
employed on spot market or voyage charters because, under these
charters, these expenses are for the account of the vessel owner. Under
period charters, these charges and expenses are paid by the charterer.
In the remainder of 2006, port and canal charges and bunker expenses
will represent a relatively small portion of our vessels' overall
expenses because all but four of our vessels will be employed under
period charters, including time and bareboat charters, that require the
charterer to bear all of those expenses.</p>

used to evaluate performance is the daily time charter equivalent, or
daily TCE. Daily TCE revenues are voyage revenues minus voyage expenses
divided by the number of voyage days during the relevant time period.
Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that
are unique to a particular voyage, which would otherwise be paid by a
charterer under a time charter, as well as commissions. We believe that
the daily TCE neutralizes the variability created by unique costs
associated with particular voyages or the employment of LPG carriers on
time charter or on the spot market and presents a more accurate
representation of the revenues generated by our LPG carriers. Our
average daily TCE rate was $7,919 for the year ended December
31,  2005 and was $5,377 during the period ended December
31,  2004. The reasons for these changes are discussed below

in 2004. In March  2005, we entered into a $54.0  million
loan agreement with Fortis Bank. We have drawn down the full amount of
available credit under this facility in order to finance vessel
acquisitions and to provide working capital. In December  2005,
we entered into a $50.0  million loan agreement with DnB NOR
Bank. We have drawn down the full amount of available credit under this
facility in order to finance vessel acquisitions. The DnB NOR Bank loan
is repayable from June  2006 through December  2015. As a
result, we incurred interest expense of $2,685,207 for the year ended
December  31,  2005. In February  2006, we entered
into a $14.0  million supplemental agreement to the DnB NOR Bank
loan, increasing the full amount of available credit under that
facility to $64.0  million. We will incur additional interest
expense in the remainder of 2006 on those outstanding borrowings and
under any new credit facilities we may obtain to finance the purchase
price of additional vessels that have not yet been identified.</p>

$111,540 in the 2004 period, reflecting the increase in the average
number of vessels in our fleet compared to the 2004 period. We pay
Stealth Maritime, our fleet manager, a fee of $390 per vessel per day

non-cash executive services and lease expense of $31,200 and were
$35,100 in the 2004 period. This increase is due to the fact that there
was only one month of executive services provided in the 2004 period
and the office space was provided to us without charge by Stealth
Maritime during the same period.</p>

December  31,  2005, we incurred a non-cash loss on
derivative of $67,000 based on the estimated fair value of the interest
rate swap, which we agreed to enter into with Fortis Bank on
March  31,  2005 in connection with the Fortis Bank loan
agreement. The aforementioned interest rate swap was our only
derivative instrument during the year ended December  31,

December  31,  2005, we incurred a foreign exchange loss of
$18,091. We incurred a foreign exchange loss of $5,534 in the 2004

of long-lived assets, we review certain indicators of potential
impairment, such as undiscounted projected operating cash flows, vessel
sales and purchases, business plans and overall market conditions. We
determine undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each
vessel and compare it to the vessel carrying value. In the event that
impairment occurred, we would determine the fair value of the related

asset's carrying value to the estimated fair market value. We

their cost (which includes acquisition costs directly attributable to
the vessel and expenditures made to prepare the vessel for its initial
voyage) less accumulated depreciation. We depreciate our vessels on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, estimated to be
30 years from date of initial delivery from the shipyard. We believe
that a 30-year depreciable life is consistent with that of other gas
vessel owners. Depreciation is based on cost less the estimated
residual scrap value. An increase in the useful life of the vessel or
in the residual value would have the effect of decreasing the annual
depreciation charge and extending it into later periods. A decrease in
the useful life of the vessel or in the residual value would have the
effect of increasing the annual depreciation charge.</p>

drydock yard, cost of fuel consumed between the vessel's last
discharge port prior to the drydock and the time the vessel leaves the
drydock yard, cost of hiring riding crews to effect repairs on a ship
and parts used in making such repairs that are reasonably made in
anticipation of reducing the duration or cost of the drydock, cost of
travel, lodging and subsistence of our personnel sent to the drydock

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

No. 123R that will require compensation costs related to share-based
payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With
limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured
based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability
instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured
each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the
period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.
SFAS 123R replaces SFAS  No. 123, &lsquo;&lsquo;Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation&rsquo;&rsquo;, and supersedes APB 25. This
Statement will be effective as of the beginning of the first annual
reporting period that begins after June  15,  2005.</p>

recognition or disclosure under SFAS  No. 123 will apply this
revised Statement using a modified version of prospective application.
Under this transition method, for the portion of outstanding awards for
which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, compensation
cost is recognized on or after required effective date based on the
grant-date fair value of those awards calculated under SFAS  No.
123 for either recognition or pro forma disclosures. For periods before
the required effective date, those entities may elect to apply a
modified version of the retrospective application under which financial
statements for periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro
forma disclosures required for those periods by SFAS No. 123. We are
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R.</p>

May  2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, &lsquo;&lsquo;Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections&rsquo;&rsquo; which replaces Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 20 &lsquo;&lsquo;Accounting
Changes&rsquo;&rsquo; and SFAS No. 3, &lsquo;&lsquo;Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.&rsquo;&rsquo; This
statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and
changes resulting from adoption of a new accounting pronouncement that
does not specify transition requirements. SFAS 154 requires
retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements
for changes in accounting principle unless it is impracticable to
determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect
of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of
a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of
the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should
be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 is
effective for the accounting changes and corrections of errors made in
fiscal years beginning after December  15,  2005 with early
implementation permitted for accounting changes and corrections of
errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this statement was
issued. SFAS 154 is effective for us as of January  1,
2006 and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
statements.</p>

16,  2005 with Fortis Bank in which it agreed, subject to certain
funding conditions, to provide a credit facility of up to $54.0
million principally to partially finance or refinance the acquisition
of our vessels. The borrowers under this loan agreement included our
subsidiaries. The loan was fully drawn in May  2005. The interest
rate under the loan agreement is the sum of LIBOR and a margin. The
margin varies with the ratio of the outstanding balance of the loan to
the aggregate market value of the vessels subject to mortgage in that
period. If the ratio is equal to or lower than 60%, the interest
rate will be 0.9% over LIBOR. If the ratio is higher than
60% but lower or equal to 70%, the interest rate will be
0.975% over LIBOR. If the ratio is higher than 70%, the
interest rate will be 1.05% over LIBOR. We paid a non-refundable
fee of $162,000 upon the signing of the loan agreement.</p>

As of December  31,  2005, $47,706,000 was outstanding

Charterhire rates paid for LPG carriers are primarily a function of the
underlying balance between vessel supply and demand. The demand for LPG
carrier capacity is determined by the underlying demand for LPG,
ammonia and petrochemical gases, which are transported in LPG carriers,
which in turn is influenced by trends in the global economy. The recent
expansion of the supply of LPG commodities has been driven by the
increased production of LNG, of which LPG is a byproduct. Although
there can be no assurances, absent a major and sustained downturn in
market conditions or significant unforeseeable changes in supply and
demand of LPG vessels, charter rates are expected to remain relatively
strong for the remainder of 2006.</p>

additional three vessels in 2006, and based on the payment of a
management fee of $390 per vessel per day, we expect to pay at least

management agreement. We also will pay 1.25% of the gross
freight, demurrage and charter hire collected from employment of our
ships and 1% of the contract price of any vessels bought or sold
on our behalf. In addition, we will reimburse Stealth Maritime for its
payment of the compensation to our CEO and Chief Financial Officer.

Directors is elected annually on a staggered basis, and each director
elected holds office for a three-year term. All of our current
directors, other than Mr.  Vafias, are independent since none of
them have any relationship or had any transaction with the Company
which the Board believes would compromise their independence. Officers
are elected from time to time by vote of our Board of Directors and
hold office until a successor is elected. At December  31,
2005 we had four directors on our Board. On February  10,
2006 by the unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors, we
expanded the size of our Board to five directors and elected Mr.
Markos as a Class III director and Chairman of our Audit Committee.</p>

plan, which we refer to as the Plan. As of April 17, 2006, we have not
made any grants under the Plan. The Plan is generally administered by
the Compensation Committee of our board of directors, except that the
full board may act at any time to administer the Plan, and authority to
administer any aspect of the Plan may be delegated by our board of
directors or by the Compensation Committee to an executive officer or
any other person. The Plan allows the plan administrator to grant
awards of shares of our common stock or the right to receive or
purchase shares of our common stock (including options to purchase
common stock, restricted stock and stock units, bonus stock,
performance stock, and stock appreciation rights) to our employees,
directors or other persons or entities providing significant services
to us or our subsidiaries, and further provides the plan administrator
the authority to reprice outstanding stock options or other awards. The
actual terms of an award, including the number of shares of common
stock relating to the award, any exercise or purchase price, any
vesting, forfeiture or transfer restrictions, the time or times of
exercisability for, or delivery of, shares of common stock, are to be
determined by the plan administrator and set forth in a written award
agreement with the participant.</p>

of our common stock for which awards may be granted under the Plan
cannot exceed 10% of the number of shares of our common stock
issued and outstanding at the time any award is granted. Awards made
under the Plan that have been forfeited (including our repurchase of
shares of common stock subject to an award for the price, if any, paid
to us for such shares of common stock, or for their par value),
cancelled or have expired, will not be treated as having been granted
for purposes of the preceding sentence.</p>

plan administrator to make an equitable adjustment to the number, kind
and exercise price per share of awards in the event of our
recapitalization, reorganization, merger, spin-off, share exchange,
dividend of common stock, liquidation, dissolution or other similar
transaction or events. In addition, the plan administrator may make
adjustments in the terms and conditions of any awards in recognition of
any unusual or nonrecurring events. Our board of directors may, at any
time, alter, amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan. The Plan will
automatically terminate ten years after it has been most recently
approved by our stockholders.</p>

Stealth Maritime a management fee of $390 (based on an exchange rate of
&euro;1.00:US$1.25) per vessel operating under a voyage or time
charter per day on a monthly basis in advance, pro rated for the
calendar days we own the vessels. We pay a fee of $125 (based on an
exchange rate of &euro;1.00:US$1.25) per vessel per day for each
of our vessels operating on bareboat charter. The management fee is
adjusted quarterly based on the United States Dollar/Euro exchange rate
as published by Bloomberg LP two days prior to the end of the previous
calendar quarter. We are also obligated to pay Stealth Maritime a fee
equal to 1.25% of the gross freight, demurrage and charter hire
collected from the employment of our vessels. Stealth Maritime also
earns a fee equal to 1.0% calculated on the price as stated in
the relevant memorandum of agreement for any vessel bought or sold by
them on our behalf. We believe that the amounts we pay to Stealth
Maritime are no more than amounts that we would pay to an unaffiliated
ship manager. In addition, we reimburse Stealth Maritime for its
payment of the compensation to our CEO and Chief Financial Officer.
During the year ended December  31,  2005, such
compensation was in the aggregate amount of &euro;513,559
(US$608,156, based on the exchange rate of &euro;1.00:US$1.1842
in effect on December  29,  2005) on an annualized basis.
Of this amount, &euro;188,862 ($223,651, based on the exchange
rate of &euro;1.00:US$1.1842 in effect on December 29, 2005)
was paid to our CEO and Chief Financial Officer since our CEO was paid
for only four months of service and our Chief Financial Officer for
only six months of service provided to us during the year ended
December 31, 2005. For the year ended December  31,  2005,
aggregate payments made to Stealth Maritime amounted to $1,473,080.</p>

Stealth Maritime has granted us a right of first refusal to acquire any
LPG carrier, which Stealth Maritime may acquire in the future. In
addition, Stealth Maritime has agreed that it will not charter-in any
LPG carrier without first offering the opportunity to charter-in such
vessel to us. This right of first refusal does not prohibit Stealth
Maritime from managing vessels owned by unaffiliated third parties in
competition with us. Additional vessels that we may acquire in the
future may be managed by Stealth Maritime or other unaffiliated
management companies.</p>

agreement with Stealth Maritime expires in 2009 but may be extended on

would pay to an unaffiliated ship manager.</p>

our shares of common stock and our shares of common stock began trading
on the Nasdaq National Market in October  2005. Accordingly,
certain of our principal shareholders acquired their shares of common
stock either at or subsequent to this time. Our major shareholders have
the same voting rights as our other shareholders. As of April 12, 2006,
we had approximately seven shareholders of record. Six of the
shareholders of record were located in the United States and held in
the aggregate 8,000,000 shares of common stock representing
approximately 57.1% of our outstanding shares of common stock.
However, the six United States shareholders of record include CEDEFAST,
which, as nominee for the Depository Trust Company, is the record
holder of 7,998,557 shares of common stock. Accordingly, we believe
that the shares held by CEDEFAST include shares of common stock
beneficially owned by both holders in the United States and non-United
States beneficial owners. As a result, these numbers may not accurately
represent the number of beneficial owners in the United States. We are
not aware of any arrangements the operation of which may at a
subsequent date result in a change of control of the company.</p>

Policy.</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While we cannot assure you that we will do so, and
subject to the limitations discussed below, we currently intend to
declare and pay quarterly dividends from our net profits to
stockholders each February, May, August and November in amounts the
Board of Directors determines are appropriate.</p>

payment of any dividend is subject to the discretion of our Board of
Directors. The timing and amount of dividend payments will be dependent
upon our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and
availability, fleet renewal and expansion, restrictions in our loan
agreements, including the loan agreements with Fortis Bank and DnB NOR
Bank, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of
distributions to stockholders and other factors. The payment of
dividends is not guaranteed or assured, and may be discontinued at any
time at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Because we are a
holding company with no material assets other than the stock of our
subsidiaries, our ability to pay dividends depends on the earnings and
cash flow of our subsidiaries and their ability to pay dividends to us.
If there is a substantial decline in the LPG carrier market, our
earnings would be adversely affected thus limiting our ability to pay
dividends. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of
dividends other than from surplus or while a company is insolvent or
would be rendered insolvent upon the payment of such dividend.</p>

to declare or pay a cash dividend in any year as long as the amount of
the dividend does not exceed 50% of our net income for that
year. See Item 3. &lsquo;&lsquo;Key Information &mdash; Risks related
to our Shares of Common Stock &mdash; We may not be able to pay cash

dividends on a quarterly basis from our net profits, in amounts the
Board of Directors may from time to time determine are appropriate.
However, we may have to make provisions for vessel acquisitions and
other liabilities that would reduce or eliminate the cash available for
distribution as dividends. We declared and paid a dividend per share of
$0.1875 in January  2006. There can be no assurance that we will
pay regular quarterly dividends in the future. Such dividends as we do
pay may be in amounts less than the $0.1875 per share dividend we
declared and paid in January  2006.</p>

arrangements, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the

payment of dividends is not guaranteed or
assured, and may be discontinued at any time at the discretion of our
Board of Directors. Because we are a holding company with no material
assets other than the stock of our subsidiaries, our ability to pay
dividends will depend on the earnings and cash flow of our subsidiaries
and their ability to pay dividends to us. If there is a substantial
decline in the LPG carrier market, our earnings would be negatively
affected thus limiting our ability to pay dividends. Marshall Islands
law generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from
surplus or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent
upon the payment thereof.</p>

the right to dissent from various corporate actions, including any
merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets not made in
the usual course of our business, and receive payment of the fair value
of their shares. In the event of any further amendment of our articles
of incorporation, a stockholder also has the right to dissent and
receive payment for his or her shares if the amendment alters certain
rights in respect of those shares. The dissenting stockholder must
follow the procedures set forth in the BCA to receive payment. In the
event that we and any dissenting stockholder fail to agree on a price
for the shares, the BCA procedures involve, among other things, the
institution of proceedings in the circuit court in the judicial circuit
in the Marshall Islands in which our Marshall Islands office is
situated. The value of the shares of the dissenting stockholder is
fixed by the court after reference, if the court so elects, to the
recommendations of a court-appointed appraiser.</p>

Provisions of our Charter Documents.</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Several provisions of

these anti-takeover provisions, which are summarized below, could also

Agreement dated as of June  20,  2005 between the Company
and Stealth Maritime S.A. for an initial term of five years. Pursuant
to our management agreement with Stealth Maritime, Stealth Maritime is
responsible for the administration of our affairs and the commercial
and technical management of our fleet. Under the agreement, we pay
Stealth Maritime a management fee of $390 per day (based on an exchange
rate of &euro;1.00:US$1.25) per vessel operating under a voyage
or time charter (and $125 per vessel per day for any vessel on bareboat
charter) in advance on a monthly basis, pro rated for the calendar days
we own the vessels. The management fee is adjusted quarterly based on
the United States Dollar/Euro exchange rate as published by Bloomberg
LP two days prior to the end of the previous calendar quarter. We are
also obligated to pay Stealth Maritime a fee equal to 1.25% of
the gross freight, demurrage and charter hire collected from the
employment of our vessels. Stealth Maritime will also earn a fee equal
to 1.0% calculated on the price as stated in the relevant
memorandum of agreement for any vessel bought or sold by them on our
behalf. We currently reimburse Stealth Maritime for its payment of the
compensation to our CEO and Chief Financial Officer. During the year
ended December  31,  2005, such compensation was in the
aggregate amount of &euro;513,559 (US$608,156, based on the
exchange rate of &euro;1.00:US$1.1842 in effect on
December  29,  2005) on an annualized basis. Of this
amount, &euro;188,862 ($223,651, based on the exchange rate of
&euro;1.00:US$1.1842 in effect on December 29, 2005) was paid
to our CEO and Chief Financial Officer since our CEO was paid for only
four months of service and our Chief Financial Officer for only six
months of service provided to us during the year ended December 31,
2005.</td>

the facility to $64.0  million. As amended by the supplemental
agreement, we are obligated to repay the principal and interest under
the credit facility beginning in June  2006 through
December  2015 in two semi-annual payments of $4,608,000 each,
four semi-annual payments of $3,072,000 each, and 14 semi-annual
payments of $2,304,000 each, plus a balloon payment of $10,240,000

NOR Bank loan, as supplemented, the interest rate is the sum of LIBOR
and a margin. The margin varies with the ratio of the outstanding
balance of the loan to the aggregate market value of the vessels
subject to mortgage in that period. If the ratio is equal to or lower
than 130%, the interest rate will be 0.85% over LIBOR. If
the ratio is between 130% and 150%, the interest rate
will be 0.75% over LIBOR. If the ratio is equal to or higher
than 150%, the interest rate will be 0.70% over LIBOR. We
paid a non-refundable fee of $95,000 upon the signing of the DnB NOR
Bank ASA loan agreement and a non-refundable fee of $28,000 upon the

received from Marshall Islands counsel, we believe that the Marshall
Islands continues to honor the Exchange of Notes and that, since the
date the Exchange of Notes was entered into, the tax law of the
Marshall Islands has not changed so as to be inconsistent with the
Exchange of Notes with the United States. Therefore, we believe that we
will be exempt from United States federal income taxation with respect
to our United States-source shipping income if either the 50%

subsequent to our initial public offering it may be difficult to
satisfy the 50% Ownership Test due to the widely-held ownership

means a beneficial owner of common stock that is a United States
citizen or resident, United States corporation or other United States
entity taxable as a corporation, an estate the income of which is
subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its

below, any distributions made by us with respect to our common stock to
a United States Holder will generally constitute dividends, which may
be taxable as ordinary income or &lsquo;&lsquo;qualified dividend
income&rsquo;&rsquo; as described in more detail below, to the extent
of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under
United States federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of
our earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return
of capital to the extent of the United States Holder's tax basis
in his common stock on a dollar for dollar basis and thereafter as
capital gain. Because we are not a United States corporation, United
States Holders that are corporations will not be entitled to claim a
dividends received deduction with respect to any distributions they
receive from us. Dividends paid with respect to our common stock will
generally be treated as &lsquo;&lsquo;passive income&rsquo;&rsquo; (or
&lsquo;&lsquo;passive category income&rsquo;&rsquo; for taxable years
beginning after December  31,  2006) or, in the case of
certain types of United States Holders, &lsquo;&lsquo;financial
services income&rsquo;&rsquo; (which will be treated as
&lsquo;&lsquo;general category income&rsquo;&rsquo; income for taxable
years beginning after December  31,  2006) for purposes of
computing allowable foreign tax credits for United States foreign tax
credit purposes.</p>

States Holder who is an individual, trust or estate (a
&lsquo;&lsquo;United States Individual Holder&rsquo;&rsquo;) should be
treated as &lsquo;&lsquo;qualified dividend income&rsquo;&rsquo; that
is taxable to such United States Individual Holders at preferential tax
rates (through 2008) provided that (1) the common stock is readily
tradable on an established securities market in the United States (such
as the Nasdaq National Market); (2) we are not a passive foreign
investment company, or PFIC, for the taxable year during which the
dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (we
do not believe we are, have been or will be a PFIC); and (3) the United
States Individual Holder owns the common stock for more than 60 days in
the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which the
common stock becomes ex-dividend. Special rules may apply to any
&lsquo;&lsquo;extraordinary dividend&rsquo;&rsquo;. Generally, an
extraordinary dividend is a dividend in an amount which is equal to or
in excess of ten percent of a stockholder's adjusted basis (or
fair market value in certain circumstances) in a share of common stock
paid by us. If we pay an &lsquo;&lsquo;extraordinary
dividend&rsquo;&rsquo; on our common stock that is treated as
&lsquo;&lsquo;qualified dividend income,&rsquo;&rsquo; then any loss
derived by a United States Individual Holder from the sale or exchange
of such common stock will be treated as long-term capital loss to the
extent of such dividend. There is no assurance that any dividends paid
on our common stock will be eligible for these preferential rates in
the hands of a United States Individual Holder. Any dividends paid by
us which are not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed to
a United States Individual Holder at the standard ordinary income
rates. Legislation has proposed which, if enacted into law in its
present form, would likely preclude, prospectively from the date of
enactment, our dividends from being treated as &lsquo;&lsquo;qualified
dividend income&rsquo;&rsquo; eligible for the preferential tax rates
described above.</p>

operations and future projections, we do not believe that we have been
or are, and we do not expect to become, a PFIC with respect to any

our belief is based principally on the position that, for purposes of
determining whether we are a PFIC, the gross income we derive or are
deemed to derive from the time chartering and voyage chartering
activities of our wholly-owned subsidiaries should constitute services
income, rather than rental income. Correspondingly, such income should
not constitute passive income, and the assets that we or our
wholly-owned subsidiaries own and operate in connection with the
production of such income, in particular, the vessels, should not
constitute passive assets for purposes of determining whether we are a
PFIC. We believe there is substantial legal authority supporting our
position consisting of case law and Internal Revenue Service
pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from
time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax
purposes. However, in the absence of any legal authority specifically
relating to the statutory provisions governing PFIC status, the
Internal Revenue Service or a court could disagree with our position.
In addition, although we currently intend to conduct our affairs in a
manner to avoid being classified as a PFIC with respect to any taxable
year, we cannot assure you that the nature of our operations will not
change in the future.</p>

treated as a PFIC is based in part upon our beliefs and expectations
regarding the value of the vessels that we will lease on a bareboat
basis relative to the value of our other assets. Should our beliefs or
expectations turn out to be incorrect, then we could, in certain
circumstances, be treated as a PFIC.</p>

report each year for United States federal income tax purposes his
pro-rata share of our ordinary earnings and our net capital gain, if
any, for our taxable year that ends with or within the taxable year of
the Electing Holder, regardless of whether or not distributions were
received from us by the Electing Holder. The Electing Holder's
adjusted tax basis in the common stock will be increased to reflect
taxed but undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions of earnings
and profits that had been previously taxed will result in a
corresponding reduction in the adjusted tax basis in the common stock
and will not be taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder would
generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other
disposition of our common stock. A United States Holder would make a
QEF election with respect to any year that our company is a PFIC by
filing one copy of IRS Form 8621 with his United States federal income
tax return and a second copy in accordance with the instructions to
such form. If we were aware that we were to be treated as a PFIC for
any taxable year, we would provide each United States Holder with all
necessary information in order to make the qualified electing fund
election described above.</p>

would be allowed to make a &lsquo;&lsquo;mark-to-market&rsquo;&rsquo;
election with respect to our common stock, provided the United States
Holder completes and files IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the
relevant instructions and related Treasury Regulations. If that
election is made, the United States Holder generally would include as
ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair
market value of the common stock at the end of the taxable year over
such holder's adjusted tax basis in the common stock. The United
States Holder would also be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of
the excess, if any, of the United States Holder's adjusted tax
basis in the common stock over its fair market value at the end of the
taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously
included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. A United
States Holder's tax basis in his common stock would be adjusted to
reflect any such income or loss amount. Gain realized on the sale,
exchange or other disposition of our common stock would be treated as
ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other
disposition of the common stock would be treated as ordinary loss to
the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains

regulations, if a United States Holder held our stock during a period
when we were treated as a PFIC but the United States Holder did not
have a QEF election in effect with respect to us, then in the event
that we failed to qualify as a PFIC for a subsequent taxable year, the
United States Holder could elect to cease to be subject to the rules
described above with respect to those shares by making a
&lsquo;&lsquo;deemed sale&rsquo;&rsquo; or, in certain circumstances, a
&lsquo;&lsquo;deemed dividend&rsquo;&rsquo; election with respect to
our stock. If the United States Holder makes a deemed sale election,
the United States Holder will be treated, for purposes of applying the
rules described above under the heading &lsquo;&lsquo;Taxation of
United States Holders Not Making a Timely QEF or Mark-to-Market
Election&rsquo;&rsquo;, as having disposed of our stock for its fair
market value on the last day of the last taxable year for which we
qualified as a PFIC (the &lsquo;&lsquo;termination date&rsquo;&rsquo;).
The United States Holder would increase his, her or its basis in such
common stock by the amount of the gain on the deemed sale described in
the preceding sentence. Following a deemed sale election, the United
States Holder would not be treated, for purposes of the PFIC rules, as
having owned the common stock during a period prior to the termination
date when we qualified as a PFIC.</p>

&lsquo;&lsquo;controlled foreign corporation&rsquo;&rsquo; for United
States federal income tax purposes for the taxable year that included
the termination date, then a United States Holder could make a
&lsquo;&lsquo;deemed dividend&rsquo;&rsquo; election with respect to
our common stock. If a deemed dividend election is made, the United
States Holder is required to include in income as a dividend his, her
or its pro rata share (based on all of our stock held by the United
States Holder, directly or under applicable attribution rules, on the
termination date) of our post-1986 earnings and profits as of the close
of the taxable year that includes the termination date (taking only
earnings and profits accumulated in taxable years in which we were a
PFIC into account). The deemed dividend described in the preceding
sentence is treated as an excess distribution for purposes of the rules
described above under the heading &lsquo;&lsquo;Taxation of United
States Holders Not making a Timely QEF or Mark-to-Market
Election&rsquo;&rsquo;. The United States Holder would increase his,
her or its basis in our stock by the amount of the deemed dividend.
Following a deemed dividend election, the United States Holder would
not be treated, for purposes of the PFIC rules, as having owned the
stock during a period prior to the termination date when we qualified
as a PFIC. For purposes of determining whether the deemed dividend
election is available, we generally will be treated as a controlled
foreign corporation for a taxable year when, at any time during that
year, United States persons, each of whom owns, directly or under
applicable attribution rules, shares having 10% or more of the
total voting power of our stock, in the aggregate own, directly or
under applicable attribution rules, shares representing more than
50% of the voting power or value of our stock.</p>

date that is three years after the due date of the original return for
such taxable year. Special rules apply where a person is treated, for

The initial amount of the swamp will be $22.5  million amortizing

30,  2007. The swap will hedge our risk of increases in three
month LIBOR over 4.55% and up to 7.5%, but will not hedge
our risk if three month LIBOR equals or exceeds 7.5%. We do not

the SEC on October  5,  2005 and the offering commenced on
that date. Cantor Fitzgerald &amp; Co., Morgan Keegan &amp; Company,
Inc., Johnson Rice &amp; Company L.L.C., Hibernia Southcoast Capital,
Inc. and Harris<font style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic">direct, </font>LLC served as managing underwriters for

discount to the underwriters was $0.87  per common share for a
total underwriting discount of $6,960,000 and we incurred other
expenses (including filing, legal and accounting fees) of approximately
$1.65  million, none of which were paid to our directors,

any class of our capital stock. The total net proceeds to us from the

Report, the Company carried out, under the supervision of the

design and operation of the Company&rsquo;s disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and
chief financial officer concluded that the Company&rsquo;s disclosure
controls and procedures have been designed and are being operated in a
manner that provides reasonable assurance that the information required
to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC&rsquo;s rules and forms.

cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls
system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within a company have been detected.</p>

services:</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 identifies

prohibition into our own policy regarding services from the external

by the Audit Committee.</p>

to undertake some non-audit services, for example due diligence
activities associated with potential acquisitions or disposals of
businesses by the Company, but these services and their associated
fees, must be approved in advance by the Committee. Where such services
are considered recurring in nature, approval may be sought for the full
financial year at the beginning of that year. Approval for other
permitted non-audit services has to be sought on an ad hoc basis. Where
no Committee meeting is scheduled within an appropriate time frame, the
approval is sought from the Chairman of the Committee subject to
confirmation at the next meeting.</p>

accompanying consolidated balance sheets of StealthGas Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company') as of
December 31, 2004 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of
income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period from
October 12, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the year ended December 31,

conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.</p>

statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of StealthGas Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and
2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
period from October 12, 2004 to December 31, 2004 and the year ended
December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.</p>

Note 2 to the financial statements, the historical consolidated

consolidated financial statements include the accounts of StealthGas
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
&lsquo;&lsquo;Company&rsquo;&rsquo;) which, as of December
31,  2005 owned a fleet of twenty-one liquefied petroleum gas
carriers providing worldwide marine transportation services under long,
medium or short-term charters. StealthGas Inc. was formed under the
laws of Marshall Islands on December  22,  2004.</p>

Stealth Maritime Corporation S.A., the shareholders of the vessel
owning companies contributed all of their issued and outstanding shares
of common stock to StealthGas Inc. and StealthGas Inc. became the sole
owner of all the outstanding shares of all the subsidiaries mentioned
in note 1a. below. The transaction described above constitutes a
reorganization of companies under common control, and has been
accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, as each
ship-owning company was, indirectly, wholly owned by and under the
common control of the Vafias Group prior to the transfer of ownership
of the companies to StealthGas Inc. Accordingly, the consolidated
financial statements of the Company have been presented as if the
ship-owning companies were consolidated subsidiaries of the Company as
of the dates indicated and using the combined historical carrying costs
of the assets and the liabilities of the ship-owning companies listed
in note 1a below.</p>

&lsquo;&lsquo;Vafias Group of LPG Carriers&rsquo;&rsquo; were acquired
by affiliates of the Vafias Group from unrelated parties. The
&lsquo;&lsquo;Vafias Group of LPG Carriers&rsquo;&rsquo; were acquired
by the Company with a portion of the proceeds of the offering. The
Company and the Vafias Group of LPG Carriers are entities that are
commonly controlled by the Vafias Group. Due to these relationships and
the common control therein, the acquisition of the Vafias Group of LPG
Carriers by the Company was accounted for as a combination of entities
under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
Such accounting resulted in the retroactive restatement of the
historical financial statements of the Company as if the Vafias Group
of LPG Carriers were consolidated subsidiaries of the Company for all
periods presented.</p>

generally accepted in the United States (&lsquo;&lsquo;US
GAAP&rsquo;&rsquo;) and include the accounts of the StealthGas Inc. and
its wholly owned subsidiaries referred to in note 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c)
above. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have

<font style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic">Use of
Estimates:</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preparation of consolidated financial
statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.</p>

<font style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic">Other
Comprehensive Income:</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company follows the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130
&lsquo;&lsquo;Statement of Comprehensive Income&rsquo;&rsquo; (SFAS
130) which requires separate presentation of certain transactions,
which are recorded directly as components of stockholders' equity.
The Company has no other comprehensive income and, accordingly,
comprehensive income equals net income for the periods presented.</p>

<font style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic">Foreign Currency Translation:</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The functional
currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar
because the Company's vessels operate in international shipping
markets, which utilize the U.S. Dollar as the functional currency. The
accounting books of the Company are maintained in U.S. Dollars.
Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted
into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the
transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and
liabilities, which are denominated in other currencies, are translated
to reflect the current exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are
separately reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of
income.</p>

freight and demurrage billings, net of allowance for doubtful accounts.
During 2004 and for the year ended December  31,  2005, all
potentially un-collectible accounts are assessed individually for
purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful
accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts is required at
December  31,  2004 and 2005.</p>

cost, which consists of the contract price less discounts and any
material expenses incurred upon acquisition (initial repairs,
improvements, acquisition and expenditures made to prepare the vessel
for its initial voyage). Subsequent expenditures for conversions and
major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend
the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or

time charters, the Company allocates the purchase price to the time
charters based on the present value (using an interest rate which
reflects the risks associated with the acquired charters) of the
difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to
the charter terms and (ii) management&rsquo;s estimate of the fair
market charter rate, measured over a period equal to the remaining term
of the charter. The capitalized above-market (assets) and below-market
(liabilities) charters are amortized as a reduction and increase,
respectively, to voyage revenues over the remaining term of the
charter.</p>

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

received in advance are recorded as liabilities until charter service
is rendered. Under a voyage charter, the revenues and associated voyage
costs are recognized on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the
voyage. Voyage costs comprise commissions, bunkers and port expenses.
The impact of this method of recognizing voyage costs on a pro-rata

Accounting Pronouncements:</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On January  17,
2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(&lsquo;&lsquo;FASB&rsquo;&rsquo;) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46,
&lsquo;&lsquo;Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities&rsquo;&rsquo;
(&lsquo;&lsquo;FIN 46&rsquo;&rsquo;). Such Interpretation addresses the
consolidation of variable interest entities
(&lsquo;&lsquo;VIEs&rsquo;&rsquo;), including special purpose entities
(&lsquo;&lsquo;SPEs&rsquo;&rsquo;), that are not controlled through
voting interests or in which the equity investors do not bear the
residual economic risks and rewards. The provisions of FIN 46 were
effective immediately for transactions entered into by the Company
subsequent to January  31,  2003 </p>

transactions as of July  1,  2003. However, in
October  2003, the FASB permitted companies to defer the
July  1,  2003 effective date to December  31,
2003, in whole or in part. On December  24,  2003, the FASB
issued a complete replacement of FIN 46 (&lsquo;&lsquo;FIN
46R&rsquo;&rsquo;), which clarified certain complexities of FIN 46 and
generally requires adoption no later than December  31,
2003 for entities that were considered SPEs under previous guidance and
no later than March  31,  2004 for all other entities. The
adoption of FIN46R did not have a material impact on the Company's

issued SFAS No. 123R that will require compensation costs related to
share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial
statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost
will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or
liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be
remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized
over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the
award. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, &lsquo;&lsquo;Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation&rsquo;&rsquo;, and supersedes APB 25.</p>

recognition or disclosure under SFAS No. 123 will apply this revised
Statement using a modified version of prospective application. Under
this transition method, for the portion of outstanding awards for which
the requisite service has not yet been rendered, compensation cost is
recognized on or after required effective date based on the grant-date
fair value of those awards calculated under SFAS No. 123 for either
recognition or pro forma disclosures. SFAS No. 123R will be effective
as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period
that begins after June  15,  2005. The adoption of SFAS
123R did not have an impact on the company&rsquo;s financial

Opinion No. 20 &lsquo;&lsquo;Accounting Changes&rsquo;&rsquo; and SFAS
No. 3, &lsquo;&lsquo;Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements.&rsquo;&rsquo; This statement applies to all voluntary
changes in accounting principle and changes resulting from adoption of
a new accounting pronouncement that does not specify transition
requirements. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior
periods' financial statements for changes in accounting principle
unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific
effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires
that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be
limited to the direct effects of the change.</p>

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

exemption from income taxes to U.S. corporations. All the
Company&rsquo;s ship-operating subsidiaries satisfy these initial
criteria. In addition, these companies must be more than 50%
owned by individuals who are residents, as defined, in the country of
incorporation or another foreign country that grants an equivalent
exemption to U.S. corporations. These companies also currently satisfy
the more than 50% beneficial ownership requirement.</p>

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

       which would be incurred in connection with the sale,

       PROVIDED THAT if such two valuations differ by more than 15 per cent.
       then the Lender will obtain a third independent valuation from a third

       value of the relevant Ship shall be the arithmetic mean of such 3
       valuations.

       any shipbroker or expert instructed by the Lender under this Clause and

               Lender, is similar to any of the foregoing; or

(h)    any Borrower ceases or suspends carrying on its business or a part of its
       business which, in the opinion of the Lender, is material in the context
       of this Agreement; or

       (i)   for any Borrower or any Security Party to discharge any liability
             under a Finance Document or to comply with any other obligation
             which the Lender considers material under a Finance Document; or

       (ii)  for the Lender to exercise or enforce any right under, or to
             enforce any Security Interest created by, a Finance Document; or

(j)    any consent necessary to enable any Borrower or either Bareboat Charterer
       to own, operate or charter the Ship owned or chartered by it (as the case
       may be) or to enable any Borrower or any Security Party to comply with
       any provision which the Lender considers material of a Finance Document,
       a Bareboat Charter is not granted, expires without being renewed, is
       revoked or becomes liable to revocation or any condition of such a
       consent is not fulfilled; or

(k)    any provision which the Lender considers, in its reasonable opinion,
       material of a Finance Document proves to have been or becomes invalid or
       unenforceable, or a Security Interest created by a Finance Document
       proves to have been or becomes invalid or unenforceable or such a
       Security Interest proves to have ranked after, or loses its priority to,
       another Security Interest or any other third party claim or interest; or

(l)    the security constituted by a Finance Document is in any way imperilled
       or in jeopardy; or

(m)    an Event of Default (as defined in Section 14 of the Master Agreement)
       occurs;

(n)    the Master Agreement is terminated, cancelled, suspended, rescinded or
       revoked or otherwise ceases to remain in full force and effect for any
       reason except with the consent of the Lender; or

(o)    any other event occurs or any other circumstances arise or develop
       including, without limitation:

       (i)   a change in the financial position, state of affairs or prospects
             of any Borrower, the ultimate beneficial shareholder of each
             Borrower or the Corporate Guarantor; or

       (ii)  any accident or other event involving any Ship or another vessel
             owned, chartered or operated by a Relevant Person,

       in the light of which the Lender reasonably considers that there is a
       significant risk that the Borrowers or the Corporate Guarantor are, or
       will later become, unable to discharge their liabilities under the
       Finance Documents as they fall due.

18.2   ACTIONS FOLLOWING AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. On, or at any time after, the
       occurrence of an Event of Default the Lender may:


                                       44

<PAGE>

(a)    serve on the Borrowers a notice stating that all obligations of the
       Lender to the Borrowers under this Agreement are terminated; and/or

(b)    serve on the Borrowers a notice stating that the Loan, all accrued
       interest and all other amounts accrued or owing under this Agreement are
       immediately due and payable or are due and payable on demand; and/or

(c)    take any other action which, as a result of the Event of Default or any
       notice served under paragraph (a) or (b), the Lender is entitled to take
       under any Finance Document or any applicable law.

18.3   TERMINATION OF COMMITMENT. On the service of a notice under Clause
       18.2(a) the Commitment, and all other obligations of the Lender to the
       Borrowers under this Agreement, shall terminate.

18.4   ACCELERATION OF LOAN. On the service of a notice under Clause 18.2(b),
       the Loan, all accrued interest and all other amounts accrued or owing
       from the Borrowers or any Security Party under this Agreement and every
       other Finance Document shall become immediately due and payable or, as
       the case may be, payable on demand.

18.5   MULTIPLE NOTICES; ACTION WITHOUT NOTICE. The Lender may serve notices
       Clauses 18.2(a) and (b) simultaneously or on different dates and it may
       take any action referred to in Clause 18.2 if no such notice is served or
       simultaneously with or at any time after the service of both or either of
       such notices.

18.6   EXCLUSION OF LENDER LIABILITY. Neither the Lender nor any receiver or
       manager appointed by the Lender, shall have any liability to a Borrower
       or a Security Party:

(a)    for any loss caused by an exercise of rights under, or enforcement of a
       Security Interest created by, a Finance Document or by any failure or
       delay to exercise such a right or to enforce such a Security Interest; or

(b)    as mortgagee in possession or otherwise, for any income or principal
       amount which might have been produced by or realised from any asset
       comprised in such a Security Interest or for any reduction (however
       caused) in the value of such an asset,

       except that this does not exempt the Lender or a receiver or manager from
       liability for losses shown to have been caused directly and mainly by the
       dishonesty or the wilful misconduct of the Lender's own officers and
       employees or (as the case may be) such receiver's or manager's own
       partners or employees.

18.7   RELEVANT PERSONS. In this Clause 18 a "RELEVANT PERSON" means a Borrower,
       a Security Party, and any company which is a subsidiary of the Corporate
       Guarantor or a Borrower.

18.8   INTERPRETATION. In Clause 18.1(f) references to an event of default or a
       termination event include any event, howsoever described, which is
       similar to an event of default in a facility agreement or a termination
       event in a finance lease; and in Clause 18.1(g) "PETITION" includes an
       application.

19     FEES AND EXPENSES

                                       45

<PAGE>

19.2   COSTS OF NEGOTIATION, PREPARATION ETC. The Borrowers shall pay to the
       Lender in a timely manner the amount of all expenses incurred by the

       enforcement of any right or Security Interest created by a Finance
       Document or for any similar purpose.

       There shall be recoverable under paragraph (d) the full amount of all
       legal expenses, whether or not such as would be allowed under rules of
       court or any taxation or other procedure carried out under such rules.

       losses resulting from any failure or delay by the Borrowers to pay such a
       tax.

       Lender, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due
       to the Lender under this Clause 19 and which indicates (without
       necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of
       which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie
       evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due.

20     INDEMNITIES

20.1   INDEMNITIES REGARDING BORROWING AND REPAYMENT OF LOAN. The Borrowers
       shall fully indemnify made or brought against the Lender on its demand in
       respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are
       incurred by the Lender, or which the Lender reasonably and with due
       diligence estimates that it will incur, as a result of or in connection
       with:

(a)    a Tranche or an Advance not being borrowed on the date specified in the
       Drawdown Notice for any reason other than a default by the Lender;

(b)    the receipt or recovery of all or any part of the Loan or an overdue sum
       otherwise than on the last day of an Interest Period or other relevant
       period;

(c)    any failure (for whatever reason) by the Borrowers to make payment of any
       amount due under a Finance Document on the due date or, if so payable, on
       demand (after giving


                                       46

<PAGE>

       credit for any default interest paid by the Borrowers on the amount
       concerned under Clause 6);

(d)    the occurrence and/or continuance of an Event of Default or a Potential
       Event of Default and/or the acceleration of repayment of the Loan under
       Clause 18,

       and in respect of any tax (other than tax on its overall net income) for
       which the Lender is liable in connection with any amount paid or payable
       to the Lender (whether for its own account or otherwise) under any
       Finance Document.

20.2   BREAKAGE COSTS. Without limiting its generality, Clause 20.1 covers any
       claim, expense, liability or loss, including a loss of a prospective
       profit, incurred by the Lender:

(a)    in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired or
       arranged to fund or maintain all or any part of the Loan and/or any
       overdue amount (or an aggregate amount which includes the Loan or any
       overdue amount); and

(b)    in terminating, or otherwise in connection with, any interest and/or
       currency swap or any other transaction entered into (whether with another
       legal entity or with another office or department of the Lender) to hedge
       any exposure arising under this Agreement or a number of transactions of
       which this Agreement is one.

20.3   MISCELLANEOUS INDEMNITIES. The Borrowers shall fully indemnify the Lender
       on its demand in respect of all claims, expenses, liabilities and losses
       which may be made or brought against or incurred by the Lender, in any
       country, as a result of or in connection with:

(a)    any action taken, or omitted or neglected to be taken, under or in
       connection with any Finance Document by the Lender or by any receiver
       appointed under a Finance Document;

(b)    any other Pertinent Matter,

       other than claims, expenses, liabilities and losses which are shown to
       have been directly and mainly caused by the dishonesty or wilful
       misconduct of the officers or employees of the Lender.

       Without prejudice to its generality, this Clause 20.3 covers any claims,
       expenses, liabilities and losses which arise, or are asserted, under or
       in connection with any law relating to safety at sea, the ISM Code or any
       Environmental Law.

20.4   CURRENCY INDEMNITY. If any sum due from any Borrower or any Security
       Party to the Lender under a Finance Document or under any order or
       judgment relating to a Finance Document has to be converted from the
       currency in which the Finance Document provided for the sum to be paid
       (the "CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY") into another currency (the "PAYMENT
       CURRENCY") for the purpose of:

(a)    making or lodging any claim or proof against any Borrower or any Security
       Party, whether in its liquidation, any arrangement involving it or
       otherwise; or

(b)    obtaining an order or judgment from any court or other tribunal; or

(c)    enforcing any such order or judgment,


                                       47

<PAGE>

       the Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender against the loss arising when
       the amount of the payment actually received by the Lender is converted at
       the available rate of exchange into the Contractual Currency.

       In this Clause 20.4, the "AVAILABLE RATE OF EXCHANGE" means the rate at
       which the Lender is able at the opening of business (London time) on the
       Business Day after it receives the sum concerned to purchase the
       Contractual Currency with the Payment Currency.

       This Clause 20.4 creates a separate liability of the Borrowers which is
       distinct from their other liabilities under the Finance Documents and
       which shall not be merged in any judgment or order relating to those
       other liabilities.

20.5   APPLICATION OF MASTER AGREEMENT. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 20.4
       does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrowers to the Lender
       under or in connection with the Master Agreement as to which sums the
       provisions of Section 8 (Contractual Currency) of the Master Agreement
       shall apply.

20.6   CERTIFICATION OF AMOUNTS. A notice which is signed by 2 officers of the
       Lender, which states that a specified amount, or aggregate amount, is due
       to the Lender under this Clause 20 and which indicates (without
       necessarily specifying a detailed breakdown) the matters in respect of
       which the amount, or aggregate amount, is due shall be prima facie
       evidence that the amount, or aggregate amount, is due.

21     NO SET-OFF OR TAX DEDUCTION

21.1   NO DEDUCTIONS. All amounts due from the Borrowers under a Finance
       Document shall be paid:

(a)    without any form of set-off, cross-claim or condition; and

(b)    free and clear of any tax deduction except a tax deduction which a
       Borrower is required by law to make.

21.2   GROSSING-UP FOR TAXES. If a Borrower is required by law to make a tax
       deduction from any payment:

(a)    that Borrower shall notify the Lender as soon as it becomes aware of the
       requirement;

(b)    that Borrower shall pay the tax deducted to the appropriate taxation
       authority promptly, and in any event before any fine or penalty arises;
       and

(c)    the amount due in respect of the payment shall be increased by the amount
       necessary to ensure that the Lender receives and retains (free from any
       liability relating to the tax deduction) a net amount which, after the
       tax deduction, is equal to the full amount which it would otherwise have
       received.

21.3   EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT OF TAXES. Within one month after making any tax
       deduction, the Borrower concerned shall deliver to the Lender documentary
       evidence satisfactory to the Lender that the tax had been paid to the
       appropriate taxation authority.

21.4   EXCLUSION OF TAX ON OVERALL NET INCOME. In this Clause 21 "TAX DEDUCTION"
       means any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or
       future tax except tax on the Lender's overall net income.


                                       48

<PAGE>

21.5   APPLICATION OF MASTER AGREEMENT. For the avoidance of doubt, Clause 21
       does not apply in respect of sums due from the Borrowers to the Lender
       under or in connection with the Master Agreement as to which sums the
       provisions of Section 2(d) (Deduction or Withholding for Tax) of the
       Master Agreement shall apply.

22     ILLEGALITY, ETC

22.1   ILLEGALITY. This Clause 22 applies if the Lender notifies the Borrowers
       that it has become, or will with effect from a specified date, become:

(a)    unlawful or prohibited as a result of the introduction of a new law, an
       amendment to an existing law or a change in the manner in which an
       existing law is or will be interpreted or applied; or

(b)    contrary to, or inconsistent with, any regulation,

       for the Lender to maintain or give effect to any of its obligations under
       this Agreement in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

22.2   NOTIFICATION AND EFFECT OF ILLEGALITY. On the Lender notifying the
       Borrowers under Clause 22.1, the Commitment shall terminate; and
       thereupon or, if later, on the date specified in the Lender's notice
       under Clause 22.1 as the date on which the notified event would become
       effective the Borrowers shall prepay the Loan in full in accordance with
       Clause 7.

22.3   MITIGATION. If circumstances arise which would result in a notification
       under Clause 22.1 then, without in any way limiting the rights of the
       Lender under Clause 22.3, the Lender shall use reasonable endeavours to
       transfer its obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement and
       the Finance Documents to another office or financial institution not
       affected by the circumstances but the Lender shall not be under any
       obligation to take any such action if, in its opinion, to do would or
       might:

(a)    have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial
       condition; or

(b)    involve it in any activity which is unlawful or prohibited or any
       activity that is contrary to, or inconsistent with, any regulation; or

23.1   INCREASED COSTS. This Clause 23 applies if the Lender notifies the
       Borrowers that it considers that as a result of:

(a)    the introduction or alteration after the date of this Agreement of a law
       or an alteration after the date of this Agreement in the manner in which
       a law is interpreted or applied (disregarding any effect which relates to
       the application to payments under this Agreement of a tax on the Lender's
       overall net income); or

(b)    complying with any regulation (including any which relates to capital
       adequacy or liquidity controls or which affects the manner in which the
       Lender allocates capital resources to its obligations under this
       Agreement) which is introduced, or altered, or the interpretation or
       application of which is altered, after the date of this Agreement,


                                       49

<PAGE>

       the Lender (or a parent company of it) has incurred or will incur an
       "INCREASED COST".

23.2   MEANING OF "INCREASED COST". In this Clause 23, "INCREASED COST" means:

(a)    an additional or increased cost incurred as a result of, or in connection
       with, the Lender having entered into, or being a party to, this Agreement
       or having taken an assignment of rights under this Agreement, of funding
       or maintaining the Commitment or performing its obligations under this
       Agreement, or of having outstanding all or any part of the Loan or other
       unpaid sums; or

(b)    a reduction in the amount of any payment to the Lender under this
       Agreement or in the effective return which such a payment represents to
       the Lender or on its capital;

(c)    an additional or increased cost of funding all or maintaining all or any
       of the advances comprised in a class of advances formed by or including
       the Loan or (as the case may require) the proportion of that cost
       attributable to the Loan; or

(d)    a liability to make a payment, or a return foregone, which is calculated
       by reference to any amounts received or receivable by the Lender under
       this Agreement,

       but not an item attributable to a change in the rate of tax on the
       overall net income of the Lender (or a parent company of it) or an item
       covered by the indemnity for tax in Clause 20.1 or by Clause 21.

       For the purposes of this Clause 23.2 the Lender may in good faith
       allocate or spread costs and/or losses among its assets and liabilities
       (or any class of its assets and liabilities) on such basis as it
       considers appropriate.

23.3   PAYMENT OF INCREASED COSTS. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, on its
       demand, the amounts which the Lender from time to time notifies the
       Borrowers that it has specified to be necessary to compensate it for the
       increased cost.

23.4   NOTICE OF PREPAYMENT. If the Borrowers are not willing to continue to
       compensate the Lender for the increased cost under Clause 23.3, the
       Borrowers may give the Lender not less than 14 days' notice of their
       intention to prepay the Loan at the end of an Interest Period.

23.5   PREPAYMENT. A notice under Clause 23.4 shall be irrevocable; and on the
       date specified in the Borrowers' notice of intended prepayment, the
       Commitment shall terminate and the Borrowers shall prepay (without
       premium or penalty) the Loan, together with accrued interest thereon at
       the applicable rate plus the applicable Margin.

23.6   APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENT. Clause 7 shall apply in relation to the
       prepayment.

24     SET-OFF

24.1   APPLICATION OF CREDIT BALANCES. The Lender may without prior notice:

(a)    apply any balance (whether or not then due) which at any time stands to
       the credit of any account in the name of a Borrower at any office in any
       country of the Lender in or towards satisfaction of any sum then due from
       that Borrower to the Lender under any of the Finance Documents; and

(b)    for that purpose:


                                       50

              that Borrower;

              balance into Dollars; and

       (iii)  enter into any other transaction or make any entry with regard to
              the credit balance which the Lender considers appropriate.

24.2   EXISTING RIGHTS UNAFFECTED. The Lender shall not be obliged to exercise
       any of its rights under Clause 24.1; and those rights shall be without
       prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of
       accounts, charge, lien or other right or remedy to which the Lender is
       entitled (whether under the general law or any document).

24.3   NO SECURITY INTEREST. This Clause 24 gives the Lender a contractual right
       of set-off only, and does not create any equitable charge or other
       Security Interest over any credit balance of the Borrower.

25     TRANSFERS AND CHANGES IN LENDING OFFICE

25.1   TRANSFER BY BORROWERS. No Borrower may, without the consent of the Lender
       transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Finance Document.

       interests which it has under or by virtue of the Finance Documents

       direct or indirect assignee of any of the Lender's rights or interests
       under or by virtue of the Finance Documents shall be entitled to recover
       damages by reference to the loss incurred by that assignee as a result of
       the breach or misrepresentation irrespective of whether the Lender would
       have incurred a loss of that kind or amount.

25.4   SUB-PARTICIPATION; SUBROGATION ASSIGNMENT. The Lender may sub-participate
       all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under or in connection
       with the Finance Documents without the consent of, or any notice to, any
       Borrower; and the Lender may assign, in any manner and terms agreed by
       it, all or any part of those rights to an insurer or surety who has
       become subrogated to them.

25.5   DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. The Lender may disclose to a potential
       assignee or sub-participant any information which the Lender has received
       in relation to any Borrower, any Security Party or their affairs under or
       in connection with any Finance Document, unless the information is
       clearly of a confidential nature.

25.6   CHANGE OF LENDING OFFICE. The Lender may change its lending office by
       giving notice to the Borrowers and the change shall become effective on
       the later of:
