    Historically, the international LPG carrier market has been
    cyclical with attendant volatility in profitability, charter
    rates and vessel values. The degree of charter rate volatility
    among different types of gas carriers has varied widely. 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. After increasing throughout 2007 and into 2008,
    charter rates for Handy size LPG carriers declined in the second
    half of 2008 and in 2009 as a result of slowdown in the world
    economy. Although there was slight improvement in late 2010 and
    the beginning of 2011, rates remain well below levels reached in
    2007 and 2008 and could again decline. If charter rates remain
    depressed or decline further, our earnings may decrease,
    particularly with respect to our vessels deployed in the spot
    market or those vessels whose charters will be subject to
    renewal during 2011, as they may not be extended or renewed on
    favorable terms when compared to the terms of the expiring
    charters. As of June&#160;1, 2011, 10 of our 34 LPG carrier
    vessels were deployed in the spot market while 11 and 17 were
    under bareboat and time period charters, respectively. Of these
    time and bareboat chartered vessels, six have charters that are
    scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2011. Any of the
    foregoing factors could have an adverse effect on our revenues,
    profitability, liquidity, cash flow and financial position.

    Future growth in the demand for LPG carriers and charter rates
    will depend on economic growth in the world economy and demand
    for LPG product transportation that exceeds the capacity of the
    growing worldwide LPG carrier fleet&#146;s ability to match it.
    We believe that the future growth in demand for LPG carriers and
    the charter rate levels for LPG carriers will depend primarily
    upon the supply and demand for LPG particularly in the economies
    of China, India and Southeast Asia, and upon seasonal and
    regional changes in demand and changes to the capacity of the
    world fleet. The capacity of the world shipping fleet appears
    likely to increase in the near term, although growth in our core
    sector of 3,000 to 8,000 cbm Handy size LPG Carriers is expected
    to be limited in 2011. Economic growth may be limited in the
    near term, and possibly for an extended period, as a result of
    the current global economic conditions, which could have an
    adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

    The global economy and the volume of world trade sharply
    declined in the latter part of 2008 and in 2009. Although the
    global economy has shown signs of a recovery, the global economy
    remains relatively weak. Recovery of the global economy is
    proceeding at varying speeds across regions and remains subject
    to downside risks, including fragility of advanced economies and
    concerns over sovereign debt defaults by European Union member
    countries such as Greece. More specifically, some LPG products
    we carry are used in cyclical businesses, such as the
    manufacturing of plastics and in the chemical industry, that
    have been adversely affected by the recent economic downturn
    and, accordingly, a further slackening of demand in those
    industries could further adversely affect the LPG carrier
    industry. In particular, an adverse change in economic
    conditions affecting China, Japan, India or Southeast Asia
    generally could have a negative effect on the demand for LPG
    products, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial
    position and results of operations, as well as our future
    prospects. In particular, in recent years China and India have
    been among the world&#146;s fastest growing economies in terms
    of gross domestic product. Moreover, any deterioration in the
    economy of the United States or the European Union, including
    due to the European sovereign debt crisis, may further adversely
    affect economic growth in Asia. Our business, financial position
    and results of operations, as well as our future prospects,
    could likely be materially and adversely affected by adverse
    economic conditions in any of these countries or regions.

    before we have recorded an impairment adjustment to our

    vessel values experience significant further declines, we may
    have to record an impairment adjustment in our financial

    For instance, in 2009, we recorded an impairment charge of

    regulations include, but are not limited to the U.S.&#160;Oil
    Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, that establishes an extensive

    of the environment from oil spills and applies to any discharges

    International Convention for the Prevention of Marine Pollution
    of 1973, and the International Convention for the Safety of Life
    at Sea of 1974. To comply with these and other regulations we
    may be required to incur additional costs to meet new
    maintenance and inspection requirements, develop contingency
    plans for potential spills, and obtain insurance coverage.
    Because those laws and regulations are often revised, we cannot

    The operation of our vessels is affected by the requirements set
    forth in the International Management Code for the Safe
    Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention (&#147;ISM

    Management System&#148; (&#147;SMS&#148;) that includes the
    adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting

    certain ports or may result in breach of our bank covenants.
    Currently, each of the vessels in our fleet is ISM

    piracy incidents increased significantly, particularly in the
    Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia. For example, in October
    2010, Somalian pirates captured the <I>York</I>, an LPG carrier,
    which is not affiliated with us, off the coast of Kenya. The
    vessel was released after a ransom was paid in March 2011. If
    these piracy attacks occur in regions in which our vessels are
    deployed and are characterized by insurers as &#147;war
    risk&#148; zones, as the Gulf of Aden continues to be, or Joint
    War Committee (JWC) &#147;war and strikes&#148; listed areas,
    premiums payable for such coverage, for which we are responsible
    with respect to vessels employed on spot charters, but not
    vessels employed on bareboat or time charters, could increase
    significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult
    to obtain. In addition, crew costs, including due to employing
    onboard security guards, could increase in such circumstances.
    We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these
    incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on us. In
    addition, detention hijacking as a result of an act of piracy

    political and governmental conditions in the countries where we
    are engaged in business or where our vessels are registered

    example, in October 2002, the vessel <I>Limburg</I> (which is
    not affiliated with our Company) was attacked by terrorists in

    We derive all our revenues from the payment of charter hire by
    charterers. The ability and willingness of each of our
    counterparties to perform their obligations under charter
    agreements with us will depend on a number of factors that are
    beyond our control and may include, among other things, general
    economic conditions, the condition of the LPG carrier and
    refined petroleum product carrier sectors of the shipping
    industry and the overall financial condition of the
    counterparties. In addition, in depressed market conditions,
    there have been reports of charterers, including some of our
    charter counterparties, renegotiating their charters or
    defaulting on their obligations under charters and our
    charterers may fail to pay charter hire or attempt to
    renegotiate charter rates. For instance, in the second quarter
    of 2011 we agreed to a 10% reduction in the daily charter rate
    payable under the bareboat charter for one of our product
    carriers. The bareboat and time charters on which we deployed 28
    of the 38&#160;vessels in our fleet as of June&#160;1, 2011,
    generally provide for charter rates that are above current spot
    market rates. Should a counterparty fail to honor its
    obligations under agreements with us, it may be difficult to
    secure substitute employment for such vessel, and any new
    charter arrangements we secure in the spot market or on bareboat
    or time charters could be at lower rates. If we lose a charter,
    we may be unable to re-deploy the related vessel on terms as
    favorable to us. We would not receive any revenues from such a
    vessel while it remained unchartered, but we may be required to
    pay expenses necessary to maintain the vessel in proper
    operating condition, insure it and service any indebtedness
    secured by such vessel. The failure by charterers to meet their
    obligations to us or an attempt by charterers to renegotiate our
    charter agreements could have a material adverse effect on our

    Our loan agreements for our borrowings, which are secured by
    liens on our vessels, contain various financial covenants,
    including requirements that relate to our financial condition,
    operating performance and liquidity. For example, we are
    required to maintain a minimum equity ratio that is based, in
    part, upon the market value of the vessels securing the
    applicable loan, as well as a minimum ratio of the market value
    of vessels securing a loan to the principal amount outstanding
    under such loan. The market value of LPG carriers, product
    carriers and crude oil tankers is sensitive to, among other
    things, changes in the LPG carrier, product carrier and crude
    oil tanker charter markets, with vessel values deteriorating in
    times when LPG carrier and product carrier charter rates are
    falling and improving when charter rates are anticipated to
    rise. Lower charter rates in the LPG carrier, product carrier
    and crude oil tanker markets coupled with the difficulty in
    obtaining financing for vessel purchases have adversely affected
    LPG carrier and, to a greater extent, product carrier and
    Aframax tanker values. A continuation of these conditions would
    lead to a significant decline in the fair market values of our
    vessels, which may result in our not being in compliance with
    these loan covenants. For instance, as of December&#160;31,
    2010, we were not in compliance with the security cover
    covenants in our Deutsche Bank credit facility and obtained a
    waiver from the bank up to March&#160;31, 2012 with a minimum
    security cover of 110%. In the event we are not in compliance
    with our loan covenants, unless our lenders are willing to
    provide similar waivers of covenant compliance, as we have
    obtained from Deutsche Bank in 2011, or modifications to our
    covenants, or would be willing to refinance, we may have to sell
    vessels in our fleet
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">and/or</FONT> seek

    if the value of our vessels deteriorates significantly, we may

    and further hinder our ability to raise capital.

    indebtedness, which would impair our ability to continue to
    conduct our business. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we
    might not be able to refinance our debt or obtain additional
    financing and could lose our vessels if our lenders foreclose
    their liens. In addition, if we find it necessary to sell our

    Global financial markets and economic conditions were severely
    disrupted and volatile in 2008 and 2009 and, while generally
    stabilizing in 2010, remain subject to significant
    vulnerabilities in the
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">year-to-date,</FONT>
    such as the deterioration of fiscal balances and the rapid
    accumulation of public debt, continued deleveraging in the
    banking sector and limited supply of credit. Credit markets and
    the debt and equity capital markets were exceedingly distressed
    in 2008 and 2009, and only marginally rebounded in 2010. The
    credit crisis in Greece, for example, and concerns over debt
    levels of certain other European Union member states, has
    increased volatility in global credit and equity markets. These
    issues, along with the re-pricing of credit risk and the
    difficulties currently experienced by financial institutions
    have made, and will likely continue to make, it difficult to
    obtain financing. As a result of the disruptions in the credit
    markets, many lenders have increased interest rates, enacted
    tighter lending standards, required more restrictive terms
    (including higher collateral ratios for advances, shorter
    maturities and smaller loan amounts), or refused to refinance
    existing debt at all or on terms similar to our current debt.
    Furthermore, certain banks that have historically been
    significant lenders to the shipping industry have announced an
    intention to reduce or cease lending activities in the shipping
    industry. New banking regulations, including larger capital
    requirements and the resulting policies adopted by lenders,
    could reduce lending activities. We may experience difficulties
    obtaining financing commitments or be unable to fully draw on
    the capacity under our committed credit facilities in the future
    if our lenders are unwilling to extend financing to us or unable
    to meet their funding obligations due to their own liquidity,
    capital or solvency issues. We cannot be certain that financing
    will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If financing is
    not available when needed, or is available only on unfavorable
    terms, we may be unable to meet our future obligations as they
    come due. Our failure to obtain the funds for these capital
    expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our
    business, results of operations and financial condition, as well
    as our cash flows. In the absence of available financing, we
    also may be unable to take advantage of business opportunities
    or respond to competitive pressures.

    It is possible that Stealth Maritime or companies affiliated
    with Stealth Maritime could, in the future, agree 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. This right of first refusal does not cover product
    carriers or crude oil tankers. In addition, these restrictions,
    including the right of first refusal, do not apply to Brave
    Maritime. 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 the
    future, we may also consider further diversifying into wet, dry
    or other gas shipping sectors, which, like product carriers and
    crude oil tankers is not covered by the right of first refusal
    agreement with Stealth Maritime. Any such vessels would be in
    competition with Stealth Maritime and companies affiliated with
    Stealth Maritime. Stealth Maritime might be faced with conflicts
    of interest with respect to their own interests and their

    has invested considerable sums in upgrading its operating and
    financial systems, as well as hiring additional well-qualified

    personnel. Stealth Maritime and those technical managers may not
    be able to continue to hire suitable employees to the extent we

    our three remaining newbuilding LPG vessels may be affected by

    vessels are typically less fuel efficient and more costly to

    2010, we had a fleet of 34 LPG carriers, three product carriers,
    and one Aframax crude oil tanker. In 2011, we have taken
    delivery of two newbuilding LPG carriers, one on
    February&#160;28, 2011 and one on April&#160;20, 2011, and sold
    two LPG carriers, on May&#160;9, 2011 and June&#160;1, 2011. As

    We own a fleet of LPG carriers providing international seaborne
    transportation services to LPG producers and users, as well as
    crude oil and product carriers chartered to oil producers and
    refiners. In our core LPG sector, 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. The three medium range product carriers in our
    fleet are capable of carrying refined petroleum products such as
    gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and jet fuel, as well as edible oils
    and chemicals, while our Aframax tanker is used for carrying
    crude oil. 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&#146; 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.

    We have a management agreement with Stealth Maritime, pursuant
    to which Stealth Maritime provides us with technical,
    administrative, commercial and certain other services. In
    relation to the technical services, Stealth Maritime is
    responsible for arranging for the crewing of the vessels, the
    day to day operations, inspections and vetting, maintenance,
    repairs, drydocking and insurance. Administrative functions
    include but are not limited to accounting, back-office,
    reporting, legal and secretarial services. In addition, Stealth
    Maritime provides services for the chartering of our vessels and
    monitoring thereof, freight collection, and sale and purchase.
    In providing most of these services, Stealth Maritime pays third
    parties and receives reimbursement from us.

    Under the November 2006 agreement, which was amended effective
    January&#160;1, 2007, as approved by our Board of Directors,
    including all of our independent directors, we pay Stealth
    Maritime a fixed management fee of $440 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 fixed fee of $125 per vessel per day for each of our
    vessels operating on bareboat charter. 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 vessels 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

    We, through Stealth Maritime, manage the employment of our
    fleet. We deploy our LPG carriers on period charters, including
    time and bareboat charters that 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. Currently, we deploy each of our
    medium range product carriers and our Aframax oil tanker on
    multi-year bareboat charters. Time and bareboat 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
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">agreed-upon</FONT>
    total charge. Under voyage charters we pay for voyage expenses
    such as port, canal and fuel costs. Under a time charter the
    charterer pays for voyage expenses while under a bareboat
    charter the charterer pays for voyage expenses and operating
    expenses such as crewing, supplies, maintenance and repairs
    including special survey and dry-docking costs.

    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 could then be exposed to the risk of declining LPG
    carrier charter rates. 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.

    In formulating our chartering strategy we evaluate past, present
    and future performance of the freight markets and balance the
    mix of our chartering arrangements in order to achieve optimal
    results for the fleet. As of June&#160;1, 2011, we had 10 LPG

    International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from
    Ships (&#147;MARPOL&#148;), which has been periodically updated
    with relevant amendments. MARPOL addresses pollution from ships
    by oil, by noxious liquid substances carried in bulk, harmful

    In September 1997, the IMO adopted MARPOL Annex&#160;VI to
    address air pollution from ships. Effective in May 2005,
    Annex&#160;VI sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide
    emissions from ship exhausts and prohibits deliberate emissions
    of ozone depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons.
    Annex&#160;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. Options for
    implementing the requirements of Annex&#160;VI include use of
    low sulfur fuels, modifications to vessel engines, or the
    addition of post combustion emission controls. Annex&#160;VI has
    been ratified by some, but not all IMO member states. Vessels
    that are subject to Annex&#160;VI must, if built before the
    effective date, obtain an International Air Pollution Prevention
    Certificate evidencing compliance with Annex&#160;VI not later
    than either the first dry docking after May&#160;19, 2005, but
    no later than May&#160;19, 2008. All vessels subject to

    In October 2008 the IMO adopted amendments to Annex&#160;VI, and
    United States ratified the Annex&#160;VI amendments in October
    2008. Beginning in 2011 the amendments will require a
    progressive reduction of sulfur dioxide levels in bunker fuels
    and impose more stringent nitrogen oxide emission standards on
    marine diesel engines, depending on their date of installation.
    More stringent emission standards will apply in coastal areas
    designated as Emission Control Areas, such as the United States

    Many countries have ratified and follow the liability plan
    adopted by the IMO and set out in the International Convention
    on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969 (the CLC)
    (the United States, with its separate OPA 90 regime described
    below, is not a party to the CLC). This convention generally
    applies to vessels that carry oil in bulk as cargo. Under this
    convention and, depending on whether the country in which the
    damage results is a party to the 1992 Protocol to the CLC, the
    registered owner of a regulated vessel is strictly liable for
    pollution damage in the territorial waters or exclusive economic
    zone of a contracting state caused by the discharge of any oil
    from the ship, subject to certain defenses. Under an amendment
    to the 1992 Protocol that became effective on November&#160;1,
    2003, for vessels of 5,000 to 140,000&#160;gross tons, liability
    per incident is limited to 4.51&#160;million Special Drawing
    Rights (SDR) plus 631 SDR for each additional gross ton over
    5,000. The SDR is an International Monetary Fund unit pegged to
    a basket of currencies. The exchange rate between SDRs and
    U.S.&#160;dollars was 1.54 U.S dollars per SDR unit on

    In 2001, the IMO adopted the International Convention on Civil
    Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, or the Bunker
    Convention, which imposes strict liability on ship owners for
    pollution damage caused by discharges of bunker oil in
    jurisdictional waters of ratifying states. The Bunker Convention
    also requires registered owners of ships over 1,000&#160;gross
    tons to maintain insurance for pollution damage in an amount
    equal to the limits of liability under the applicable national
    or international limitation regime (but not exceeding the amount
    calculated in accordance with the Convention on Limitation of
    Liability for Maritime Claims of 1976, as amended). Because the
    Bunker Convention does not apply to pollution damage governed by
    the CLC, it applies only to discharges from any of our vessels
    that are not transporting oil. The Bunker Convention entered
    into force on November&#160;21, 2008 and as of February&#160;28,
    2011 has been ratified by 58&#160;states. In other

    ship&#146;s bunkers typically is determined by national or other
    domestic laws in the jurisdiction where the events occur.

    The operation of our vessels is also affected by the
    requirements set forth in the ISM Code of the IMO. The ISM Code
    requires shipowners and bareboat charterers to develop and
    maintain an extensive SMS 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. Vessel operators must obtain a
    &#147;Safety Management Certificate&#148; from the government of
    the vessel&#146;s flag state to verify that it is being operated
    in compliance with its approved SMS. 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

    Effective July&#160;31, 2009, the United States Coast Guard
    adjusted the limits of OPA liability to the greater of $2,000
    per gross ton or $17,088,000 for double-hulled tank vessels and
    established a procedure for adjusting the limits every three
    years..These limits of liability do not apply if an incident was

    responsible party&#146;s gross negligence or willful misconduct,
    or if the responsible party fails or refuses to report the

    OPA requires owners and operators of vessels over 300&#160;gross

    Although the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework
    Convention on Climate Change requires adopting countries to
    implement national programs to reduce emissions of greenhouse
    gases, emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping
    are not currently subject to the Kyoto Protocol. There were some
    expectations that a new climate change treaty would be adopted
    at the December 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference,
    but the participating countries merely adopted the so-called
    Copenhagen Accord, a framework for future negotiations that
    includes emission reduction targets for developed countries and
    goals for limiting increases in atmospheric temperature. The
    implementation of the Copenhagen Accord could lead to
    restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions from shipping.
    International or multi-national bodies or individual countries
    may adopt their own climate change regulatory initiatives. The
    EU intends to expand its existing emissions trading scheme to
    vessels, and IMO&#146;s Marine Environment Protection Committee
    is developing technical and operational measures, including
    energy efficiency standards and market-based instruments, to
    limit emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping.
    The United States EPA has issued a finding that greenhouse gas
    emissions endanger the public health and safety and has adopted
    regulations under the Clean Air Act to limit emissions of
    greenhouse gases from certain mobile sources and large
    stationary sources. Although the mobile source regulations do
    not apply to greenhouse gas emissions from vessels, EPA is
    considering a petition from the California Attorney General and
    environmental groups to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from
    ocean-going vessels. Any passage of climate control initiatives
    by the IMO, the EU or the individual countries in which we
    operate that limit greenhouse gas emissions from vessels could
    require us to make significant financial expenditures or
    otherwise limit our operations.

    All our vessels are certified as being &#147;in class&#148; by
    Lloyds Register of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, NKK, the American
    Bureau of Shipping, RINA SpA and C.C.S. All new and secondhand
    vessels that we purchase must be certified prior to their
    delivery under our standard contracts and memoranda of
    agreement. If the vessel is not certified on the date of
    closing, we have no obligation to take delivery of the vessel.
    Most insurance underwriters make it a condition for insurance
    coverage that a vessel be certified as &#147;in class&#148; by a
    classification society that is a member of the International
    Association of Classification Societies. Every vessel&#146;s
    hull and machinery is &#147;classed&#148; by a classification
    society authorized by its country of registry. The
    classification society 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&#160;&#151; an annual survey, every two to
    three years&#160;&#151; an intermediate survey, and every four
    to five years&#160;&#151; a special survey. Vessels also may be
    required, as part of the intermediate survey process, to be
    dry-docked every 30 to 36&#160;months for inspection of the
    underwater parts of the vessel and for necessary repairs related
    to such inspection.

    In addition to the classification inspections, many of our
    customers, including the major oil companies, regularly inspect

    The LPG carrier market is typically stronger in the fall and
    winter months in anticipation of increased consumption of
    propane and butane for heating during the winter months. In
    addition, unpredictable weather patterns in these months tend to
    disrupt vessel scheduling and supplies of certain commodities.
    As a result, our revenues may be stronger in fiscal quarters
    ended December 31 and March 31 and relatively weaker during the

    international seaborne transportation services to LPG producers
    and users and, with our acquisition of three product carriers
    and one Aframax tanker, beginning in the first quarter of 2008,
    we also provide vessels capable of transporting refined
    petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, fuel oil. jet fuel
    and crude oil. Our LPG carriers 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. We primarily operate in and have an approximate
    13.5% market share of vessels of 20&#160;years old or less in
    the Handy size sector of the liquefied petroleum gases
    (&#147;LPG&#148;) shipping market, which is made up of
    approximately 297&#160;vessels that are 20&#160;years old or
    less. In comparison to other sectors of the shipping industry,
    the LPG Handy size sector is characterized by relative stability
    and a high proportion of established operators, including
    significant participation by the &#147;oil majors.&#148;

    As of December&#160;31, 2010, our fleet consisted of 34 LPG
    carriers, three product carriers and an Aframax tanker and, as
    of June&#160;1, 2011, after having sold two older LPG carriers
    and taken delivery of two newbuilding LPG carriers, we had a
    fleet of 34 LPG carriers, three product carriers and one Aframax
    tanker. While our focus remains on the LPG sector, where we
    continue to be the largest owner of such vessels in our
    Handysize sector, we made an investment in medium range product
    carriers in 2008, acquiring two medium range product carriers in
    the first quarter of 2008 and an additional medium range product
    carrier in July 2009, and in a crude oil tanker in June 2010 to
    partially diversify the company&#146;s operations away from
    being solely reliant on one specific sector. As of June&#160;1,
    2011, we also had agreements to acquire three newbuilding LPG
    carriers with expected delivery from July 2011 through May 2012
    and to sell two additional vessels LPG carriers. Once these

    <I>Cyclicality.</I>&#160;&#160;The international gas carrier
    market, including the transport of LPG, is cyclical with
    attendant volatility in profitability, charter rates and vessel
    values, resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for,
    LPG carrier capacity. During 2009 and 2010 there was a downturn
    in market conditions that resulted in a decrease in the number
    of vessels being contracted under time or bareboat charters as
    charterers sought to keep their commitments on a shorter term
    basis. Since the last quarter of 2010, LPG carrier market
    conditions have improved modestly, and as of June&#160;1, 2011,
    we had ten vessels trading in the spot market. The improvement
    in market conditions is evident when comparing the level of
    prevailing one year time charter rate at June&#160;1, 2011
    against the prevailing one year time charter rate at
    June&#160;1, 2010, rates, as well as vessel values, which
    continue to remain relatively stable in the LPG sector of the
    shipping industry. The average one-year time charter market rate
    per day per vessel for a modern 3,500 cbm vessel in the second
    quarter of 2011 was $8,092 compared to $7,236 for the same
    quarter of 2010. Rates remain below highs reached in 2007 and
    2008 however, and remain subject to downside risks, including,
    in the event of increased weakness in the global economy and
    lower demand for the transport of LPG.

    With regard to the vessels in the spot market, we are exposed to
    changes in spot rates for LPG carriers and such changes affect

    satisfying demand sooner and potentially suppressing charter
    rates. Each of the three product carriers in our fleet as of

    Vessels operating on period charters, principally time and
    bareboat 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 vessels 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 vessels 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, product carrier or crude oil tanker
    charter rates, which may have a materially adverse impact on our

    Voyage expenses include port and canal charges, bunkers (fuel
    oil) expenses and commissions. These charges and expenses
    increase in periods during which vessels are employed on the
    spot market, because under these charters, these expenses are
    for the account of the vessel owner. Under period charters,
    these charges and expenses, including bunkers (fuel oil) are
    paid by the charterer. Bunkers (fuel oil) accounted for 57.5% of
    total voyage expenses for the year ended December&#160;31, 2010
    and 48.1% for the year ended December&#160;31, 2009. In 2010,
    port and canal charges and bunker expenses represented a
    relatively small portion of our vessels&#146; overall expenses
    because the majority of our vessels were employed under period
    charters, including time and bareboat charters, that require the
    charterer to bear all of those expenses. As of June&#160;1,
    2011, 24 of our 34 LPG carriers and each of our three product
    carriers and Aframax tanker were deployed on either time charter
    or bareboat charter. We currently expect a generally similar

    A standard maritime industry performance measure used to

    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 vessels on time charter or on the
    spot market and presents a more accurate representation of the
    revenues generated by our vessels. Our average daily TCE rate
    was $7,064 for the year ended December&#160;31, 2010, $6,727 for
    year ended December&#160;31, 2009, and $7,588 for the year ended

    Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs,
    the cost of insurance, expenses for repairs and maintenance, the
    cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other
    miscellaneous expenses. These expenses on an overall basis
    increased during the year ended December&#160;31, 2010 and will

    During 2010 we paid Stealth Maritime, our fleet manager, a fixed
    rate management fee of $440 per day for each vessel in our fleet
    under spot or time charter and a fixed rate fee of $125 per day
    for each of the vessels operating on bareboat charter. These
    rates have been in effect since January&#160;1, 2007. Stealth
    Maritime also receives a brokerage commission of 1.25% on
    freight, hire and demurrage for each vessel and a fee equal to
    1.0% calculated on the price stated in the relevant memorandum

    to be 30&#160;years from the date of their initial delivery from

    Depreciation is based on cost less the estimated scrap value of

    special and intermediate surveys as incurred. During 2010 we dry
    docked six vessels, at a total cost of $2.7&#160;million. We

    The carrying value of our vessels includes the original cost of
    the vessels plus capitalized expenses since acquisition relating
    to improvements and upgrading of the vessel, less accumulated
    depreciation. We review for impairment the carrying value of the
    vessels whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
    that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable,
    as well as performing an annual review on December&#160;31. The
    carrying values of our vessels may not represent their fair
    market value at any point in time since the market prices of
    second-hand vessels tend to fluctuate with changes in charter
    rates and the cost of newbuildings. 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. In evaluating useful lives and carrying values of
    vessels, 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 compares it to the vessel&#146;s
    carrying value. In developing estimates of future cash flows, we
    must make assumptions about future charter rates, vessel
    operating expenses, fleet utilization, and the estimated
    remaining useful lives of the vessels. These assumptions are
    based on historical trends as well as future expectations.

    FORFEITURE OF VESSEL DEPOSIT AND CONTRACT TERMINATION
    FEES&#160;&#151; On June&#160;25, 2008 we signed a Memorandum of
    Agreement to acquire a resale medium range product carrier to be
    named, upon her delivery, the <I>Stealth Argentina</I>. A
    deposit of $5.75&#160;million was placed upon the signing of
    this agreement. During the year ended December&#160;31, 2009
    certain technical defects in the specifications of the vessel
    became apparent to the Company and it sought to renegotiate the
    Memorandum of Agreement with the seller of the vessel. These
    negotiations were conducted during the course of 2009 and in
    December 2009 an agreement was reached whereby the Memorandum of
    Agreement to purchase the vessel would be cancelled and we would
    pay, along with the forfeiture of the $5.75&#160;million paid in
    June 2008, a further fee of $10.75&#160;million to the sellers.
    The total amount paid by us was $16.5&#160;million made up of
    the deposit of $5.75&#160;million and four further payments paid
    at the end of April 2010, July 2010, October 2010 and January
    2011 in the amount of $2.7&#160;million each and was recorded as
    a loss in 2009. As of June&#160;1, 2011, all payments related to
    this agreement had been made.

    CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES&#160;&#151; For the years

    $6.1&#160;million on interest rate swaps, a non-cash loss of
    $1.8&#160;million due to the change in fair value of our
    interest rate swaps and a non-cash gain on the change in fair
    value of our foreign currency forward contracts denominated in
    Japanese Yen totaling $1.8&#160;million. The non-cash gain of
    our Japanese Yen denominated foreign currency forward contracts
    was due to an overall weakening of the U.S.&#160;dollar against

    Generally, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements
    increased as of December&#160;31, 2010 compared to

    or 9.0%, despite the net increase in bank indebtedness of
    $62.2&#160;million incurred in connection with vessel
    acquisitions. This resulted primarily from prevailing lower
    interest rates on our bank debt, which averaged 2.59% for the
    year ended December&#160;31, 2009 compared to 4.09% for the year
    ended December&#160;31, 2008.

    CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES&#160;&#151; For the years
    ended December&#160;31, 2009 and December&#160;31, 2008, we
    incurred a non-cash loss on derivatives of $5.5&#160;million and
    $2.7&#160;million, respectively. The loss on derivatives for the
    year ended December&#160;31, 2009 is made up of a cash loss of
    $4.0&#160;million on interest rate swaps, a non-cash loss of
    $5.5&#160;million due to the change in fair value of our
    interest rate swaps and a non-cash gain on the change in fair
    value of our foreign currency forward contracts denominated in
    Japanese Yen totaling $4.0&#160;million. The non-cash gain of
    our Japanese Yen denominated foreign currency forward contracts
    was due to an overall weakening of the U.S.&#160;dollar against
    the Japanese Yen during the year ended December&#160;31, 2009.
    Generally, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements
    decreased as of December&#160;31, 2009 compared to
    December&#160;31, 2008 as a result of extremely low interest
    rate environment, with the floating rates we pay under our loan
    agreements decreasing to a level below the fixed rates we pay
    under our interest rate swap agreements.

    Our liquidity needs, as of December&#160;31, 2010 through the
    end of 2012, primarily relate to the purchase of the five LPG
    newbuilding carriers for which we have scheduled future payments
    through the delivery of the final contracted vessel during 2012
    aggregating $89.7&#160;million, based on the USD/JPY exchange
    rate as of March&#160;31, 2011, and installment payments on our
    outstanding indebtedness. We paid the remaining purchase price
    for one of these newbuilding LPG carriers, which was delivered
    to us in February 2011, with $16.5&#160;million of borrowings
    under our DVB Bank S.E. Nordic Branch credit facility, and one
    newbuilding LPG carrier, which was delivered to us in April
    2011, with $16.4&#160;million in borrowings under our DVB Bank
    S.E. Nordic Branch credit facility. As of June&#160;1, 2011, for

    $59&#160;million in scheduled installment payments on three
    newbuilding LPG carriers remaining to be delivered to us between
    2011 and 2012. We expect to fund the remaining acquisition cost
    of the three LPG carriers with bank debt and cash generated from
    operations. As of June&#160;1, 2011, we had $357&#160;million of

    In 2009, we entered into a cash conservation approach, which
    included our cost containment strategy and our Board of
    Directors&#146; decision to suspend the payment of cash
    dividends as a result of market conditions in the international
    shipping industry and the general uncertainties in the global
    economy. Along with the cessation of dividend payments, we also
    decided as of December&#160;31, 2009 and as of December&#160;31,
    2010 not to pay any bonuses to management and no accrual was
    made for bonuses for the three months ended March&#160;31, 2011.
    On March&#160;22, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a stock
    repurchase program of up to $15.0&#160;million. The program does
    not require any minimum purchase or any specific number or
    amount of shares and may be suspended or reinstated at any at
    our discretion and without notice As of December&#160;31, 2010,
    1.2&#160;million common shares had been repurchased at an

    Net cash provided by operating activities&#160;&#151; was
    $27.8&#160;million for the year ended December&#160;31, 2010,
    $48.3&#160;million for the year ended December&#160;31, 2009 and
    $48.1&#160;million for the year ended December&#160;31, 2008.
    This represents the net amount of cash, after expenses,
    generated by chartering our vessels. Stealth Maritime, on our
    behalf, pays for the operating expenses of our vessels and gets
    reimbursed by us. The decrease in net cash provided by operating
    activities was mainly due to the decrease in revenue generated
    by operations and higher expenses, mainly voyage expenses due to
    the higher number of vessels operating in the spot market, as
    well as higher dry dock expenses, as more vessels were dry
    docked during the year. During 2010 we also paid
    $8.1&#160;million related to the cancellation of the purchase of
    the Stealth Argentina that was agreed upon during 2009. Although
    net cash provided by operating activities changed little on an
    overall basis between the year ended December&#160;31, 2009 and
    the year ended December&#160;31, 2008, a significant source of
    cash was a $10.3&#160;million increase in cash related payables
    to a related party. This was as a consequence of a longer
    payment period being granted by the related party, Stealth
    Maritime Corp., in regard to the settlement of related payables.
    Other factors effecting the cash generation from operations were
    broadly neutral between 2009 and 2008 hence the small increase
    of $0.2&#160;million in cash generated from operations for the
    year ended December&#160;31, 2009 compared to the year ended
    December&#160;31, 2008.

    for a specified charter rate, or time and bareboat charters,
    where a contract is entered into for the use of a vessel for a

    discharge of the vessel&#146;s previous cargo and is deemed to
    end upon the completion of discharge of the current cargo.
    Demurrage income represents payments by a charterer to a vessel
    owner when loading or discharging time exceeds the stipulated
    time in the voyage charter and is recognized ratably as earned
    during the related voyage charter&#146;s duration period.

    <I>Impairment of long-lived assets:</I>&#160;&#160;We follow the

    The standard requires that long-lived assets and certain
    identifiable intangible assets 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. In this respect, management reviews the carrying
    amount of the vessels when events or changes in circumstances
    indicate that the carrying amount of the vessels may not be

    Despite the apparent steadiness in the values of our core fleet,
    the decline in global economy was considered to be an indicator
    of potential impairment. Therefore, as of December&#160;31,
    2009, we performed the step one, undiscounted cash flow test as
    required by the standard. We determined undiscounted projected
    net operating cash flows for each vessel and compared it to the
    vessel&#146;s carrying value. This assessment was made at the
    individual vessel level since separately identifiable cash flow
    information for each vessel was available. In developing

    $9.7&#160;million for three of our vessels that were classified

    subsequently delivered to their new owners in 2010. We did not

    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

    and 2009, we engaged in six interest rate swap agreements in
    order to hedge the exposure of interest rate fluctuations
    associated with the cash flows on a portion of our variable rate
    borrowings. These swap agreements are designated and qualify as
    cash flow hedges. Their fair value is included in financial
    instruments in the Company&#146;s consolidated balance sheets
    with changes in the effective portion of the instruments&#146;
    fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
    The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the
    derivative financial instruments is immediately recognized in
    the consolidated statements of operations. If the hedged items
    are forecasted transactions that later are not expected to or
    will not occur, then the derivative financial instrument no
    longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As a result, fair value
    changes that were previously recorded in accumulated other
    comprehensive income are immediately recognized in earnings. In
    all other instances, when a derivative financial instrument
    ceases to be designated or to qualify as an effective cash flow
    hedge but if it is still possible the hedged forecasted
    transaction may occur, hedge accounting ceases from that date
    and the instrument is prospectively marked to market through
    earnings, but previously recorded changes in fair value remain
    in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item
    affects earnings or until it becomes probable that the hedged
    forecasted transaction will not occur. It is our intention to
    hold these swap agreements to maturity. During 2008, we
    discontinued hedge accounting for two of our interest rate swap
    contracts and during 2009 we ceased hedge accounting for one
    more of our interest rate swap contracts due to their becoming
    &#147;ineffective&#148; under the guidance. As of

    During 2008, we entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge
    foreign currency risks of anticipated cash payments in Japanese
    Yen relating to certain vessels under construction for periods
    consistent with these committed exposures. We have not applied
    cash flow hedge accounting to the foreign exchange derivative
    instruments, and therefore, recorded the change in fair value in
    earnings.

    In January 2008, we adopted the standard about the &#147;Fair
    Value Measurements,&#148; which provides guidance for using fair
    value to measure assets and liabilities by defining fair value
    and establishing a framework for measuring fair value. The
    standard applies to all financial instruments that are measured
    and reported on a fair value basis, including our derivative
    financial instruments. In regard to the Fair Value Measurement,
    please refer to notes&#160;2 and 13 of our notes to the
    consolidated financial statements.

    in the consolidated statements of operations. These shares are
    measured at their fair value, which is equal to the market value
    of the Company&#146;s common stock on the grant date. The shares
    that do not contain any future service vesting conditions are
    considered vested shares and a total fair value of such shares
    is recognized in full on the grant date. The shares that contain
    a time-based service vesting condition are considered non-vested
    shares on the grant date and a total fair value of such shares
    recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis over
    the requisite service period for each separately portion of the
    award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards (graded
    vesting attribution method). No events or circumstances occurred
    in 2010 that would require us to revise estimates related to
    stock-based compensation and such revisions are not expected to
    occur in the future.

    and stock units, bonus stock, performance stock, and stock

    We effected a registered public offering of our common stock and
    our 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 stockholders have the same voting rights as
    our other shareholders. As of June&#160;1, 2011, we had
    approximately 20&#160;shareholders of record. Eight of the
    stockholders of record were located in the United States and
    held in the aggregate 16,454,876&#160;shares of common stock
    representing approximately 77.9% of our outstanding shares of
    common stock. However, the seven United States shareholders of
    record include CEDEFAST, which, as nominee for The Depository
    Trust&#160;Company, is the record holder of
    16,448,638&#160;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
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">non-United</FONT>
    States beneficial owners. As a result, these numbers may not

    Declaration and 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, the provisions
    of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions
    to stockholders and other factors. 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.

    We currently do not intend to declare and pay regular cash
    dividends on a quarterly basis from our net profits. We have had
    to make additional provisions for the equity component of our
    vessel acquisitions that have reduced the cash available for
    distribution as dividends. We declared and paid twelve quarterly
    dividends per share of $0.1875 in the years ended
    December&#160;31, 2006, 2007 and 2008. There can be no assurance
    that we will recommence paying regular quarterly dividends in
    the future. Such dividends as we do pay may be in amounts less

    Declaration and 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, restrictions in
    our loan agreements, or other financing arrangements, the
    provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of
    distributions to stockholders and other factors. 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 or product 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.

    No.&#160;1 thereto dated as of January&#160;1, 2007, between the
    Company and Stealth Maritime S.A. for an initial term expiring
    June&#160;20, 2010. Unless six months&#146; notice of
    non-renewal is given by either party prior to the end of the
    then current term, this agreement automatically extends for
    additional
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">12-month</FONT>
    periods. No such notice has been given, and accordingly this
    agreement will extend to June 2011. 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 fixed management fee of $440 per day 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. We are also obligated to pay Stealth Maritime a fixed
    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 Chief Executive Officer, Deputy Chairman and Executive
    Director, Chief Financial Officer and Internal Auditor.

    excess of ten percent of a stockholder&#146;s adjusted basis (or
    fair market value in certain circumstances) in a share of common
    stock paid by us. If we pay an &#147;extraordinary

    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

    in which case we and certain of our subsidiaries could be
    treated as PFICs. In this regard we note that a recent federal
    court decision, <I>Tidewater Inc. and Subsidiaries&#160;v.
    United States</I>, 565 F.3d 299 (5th&#160;Cir. 2009), held that
    income derived from certain time chartering activities should be
    treated as rental income rather than services income for
    purposes of the &#147;foreign sales corporation&#148; rules
    under the Code. The IRS has stated that it disagrees with and
    will not acquiesce to the <I>Tidewater </I>decision, and in its
    discussion stated that the time charters at issue in
    <I>Tidewater </I>would be treated as producing services income
    for PFIC purposes. However, the IRS&#146;s statement with
    respect to the <I>Tidewater</I> decision was an administrative
    action that cannot be relied upon or otherwise cited as
    precedent by taxpayers. Consequently, in the absence of any
    binding legal authority specifically relating to the statutory
    provisions governing PFICs, there can be no assurance that the
    IRS or a court would agree with the Tidewater decision. However,
    if the principles of the <I>Tidewater </I>decision were
    applicable to our time charters, we would likely be treated as a
    PFIC. Moreover, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a
    manner to avoid being classified as a PFIC, we cannot assure you
    that the nature of our assets, income and operations will not
    change, or that we can avoid being treated as a PFIC for any
    taxable year.

    If a United States Holder makes a timely QEF election, which
    United States Holder we refer to as an &#147;Electing
    Holder,&#148; the Electing Holder must 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. Generally, a QEF
    election should be made on or before the due date for filing the
    electing United States Holder&#146;s U.S.&#160;federal income
    tax return for the first taxable year in which our common stock
    is held by such United States Holder and we are classified as a
    PFIC. The Electing Holder&#146;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 and any PFIC Subsidiary is a PFIC by
    filing one copy of IRS Form&#160;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 QEF election described above with respect to our common
    stock and the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC.

    the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common stock
    at the end of the taxable year over such holder&#146;s adjusted

    Our primary market risks relate to adverse movements in freight
    rates in the Handy Size LPG Carrier sector and any declines that
    may occur in the value of our assets which are made up primarily
    of Handy Size LPG Carriers. Our policy is to also continuously
    monitor our exposure to other business risks, including the
    impact of changes in interest rates, currency rates, and bunker
    prices on earnings and cash flows. We assess these risks and,
    when appropriate, enter into derivative contracts with
    credit-worthy counter parties to minimize our exposure to the
    risks. In regard to bunker prices, as our employment policy for
    our vessels has continued to be and is expected to continue with
    a high percentage of our fleet on period employment, we are not
    directly exposed for the majority of our fleet to increases in
    bunker fuel prices as these are the responsibility of the
    charterer under period charter arrangements. For the remainder
    of the fleet operating in the spot market we do not intend to
    enter into bunker hedging arrangements.

    We generate all of our revenues in U.S.&#160;dollars and incur
    less than 10% of our expenses in currencies other than
    U.S.&#160;dollars. For accounting purposes, expenses incurred in
    Euros are converted into U.S.&#160;dollars at the exchange rate
    prevailing on the date of each transaction. At December&#160;31,
    2010, less than 10% of our outstanding accounts payable was
    denominated in currencies other than the U.S.&#160;dollar mainly
    in Euros. Other than with regard to five LPG carrier
    construction contracts denominated in Japanese Yen, which are
    discussed below, we have not hedged currency exchange risks
    associated with our revenues and expenses from operations and
    our operating results could be adversely affected as a result.
    Due to our relatively low percentage exposure, other than with
    regard to the five LPG carrier construction contracts
    denominated in Japanese Yen, to currencies other than our base
    currency, which is the U.S.&#160;dollar we believe that such
    currency movements will not otherwise have a material effect on
    us. As such, we do not hedge these exposures as the amounts
    involved do not make hedging economic.

    On February&#160;25, 2008, we signed contracts with Mitsubishi
    Corporation of Japan for the construction of five LPG carriers
    scheduled for delivery between February 2011 and May 2012, at an
    aggregate contract price of Yen 12,008,000,000 ($111,185,185,
    based upon the prevailing USD/JPY exchange rate of $1.00:JPY 108
    as of February&#160;25, 2008). On February&#160;29, 2008, we
    paid the first 10% installment of Yen 1,200,800,000
    ($11,118,519, based upon the prevailing USD/JPY exchange rate of
    $1.00:JPY108 as of February&#160;25, 2008). On August&#160;5,
    2008, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to
    hedge part of our exposure to fluctuations of our anticipated
    cash payments in Japanese Yen relating to the construction of
    the five LPG carriers. The contracts which have different
    forward value dates are at different rates of exchange, the
    weighted average rate for these contracts is 98.86 JPY/USD.
    Under the contracts, we will convert approximately
    JPY5.4&#160;billion of cash outflows to U.S.&#160;dollars at
    various dates from 2009 to 2011. As of December&#160;31, 2010,
    we had converted JPY2.7&#160;billion that we used to pay for
    various installments related to the construction of the five LPG
    carriers and we recorded an asset of $5.4&#160;million in
    respect of the fair value of the remaining forward contracts of
    approximately JPY2.7&#160;billion on our balance sheet. The
    remaining amount payable under these newbuilding construction
    contracts is unhedged. A hypothetical 10% movement in the
    outright USD/JPY exchange rate would result in a reduction in
    the cost of the vessels of $4.7&#160;million should the USD/JPY
    exchange rate move higher (i.e., JPY depreciates against the
    dollar), and an increase in the cost of the vessels of
    $5.7&#160;million should the USD/JPY exchange rate move lower
    (i.e., JPY appreciates against the dollar).

    information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
    that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
    processed, summarized and reported within required time periods.
    Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and
    procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
    disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits
    under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the
    issuer&#146;s management, including its principal executive and
    principal financial officers, or persons performing similar
    functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
    required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the
    effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and
    procedures, including the possibility of human error and the
    circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.

    December&#160;31, 2010. These financial statements are the

    We 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. An audit includes examining, on a
    test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
    the financial statements. An audit also includes 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.

    impairment review, undiscounted net operating cash flows
    exceeded each vessel&#146;s carrying value with the exception of

    (i)&#160;management possessing the necessary authority has
    committed to a plan to sell the vessels, (ii)&#160;the vessels
    are available for immediate sale in its present condition,
    (iii)&#160;an active program to find a buyer and other actions
    required to complete the plan to sell the vessels have been

    transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as
    a completed sale within one year and (v)&#160;the vessels are
    being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable
    in relation to its current fair value and actions required to
    complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant
    changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be
    withdrawn. Vessels classified as held for sale are measured at
    the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to
    sell. These vessels are not depreciated once they meet the
    criteria to be classified as held for sale. Furthermore, in the
    period a vessel meets the held for sale criteria of guidance, a
    loss is recognized for any reduction of the vessel&#146;s
    carrying amount to its fair value less cost to sell. Except for
    2009, no such adjustments were identified as of
    December&#160;31, 2008 and 2010 (Note&#160;6).

    earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the
    weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the

    dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
    issue common stock were exercised. Dilution has been computed by
    the treasury stock method whereby all of the Company&#146;s
    dilutive securities are assumed to be exercised or converted and
    the proceeds used to repurchase common shares at the weighted
    average market price of the Company&#146;s common stock during
    the relevant periods. The incremental shares (the difference
    between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of
    shares assumed purchased) are included in the denominator of the
    diluted earnings per share computation. (Note&#160;15).

    <B><I>Derivatives:</I></B>&#160;&#160;The guidance,
    &#147;Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
    Activities&#148; as amended, establishes accounting and
    reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
    (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
    contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset
    or liability measured at its fair value, with changes in the
    derivatives&#146; fair value recognized currently in earnings
    unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. During 2008
    and 2009, the Company engaged in six interest rate swap
    agreements in order to hedge the exposure of interest rate
    fluctuations associated with the cash flows on a portion of the
    Company&#146;s variable rate borrowings (Notes&#160;11, 12).
    These swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges. Their
    fair value was included in financial instruments in the
    accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December&#160;31,
    2008 and December&#160;31, 2009 with changes in the effective
    portion of the instruments&#146; fair value recorded in
    accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). The ineffective
    portion of the change in fair value of the derivative financial
    instruments was immediately recognized in the consolidated
    statements of operations under the caption &#147;Change in fair
    value of derivatives&#148;. If the hedged items are forecasted
    transactions that later no longer expected to occur, then the
    derivative financial instrument no longer qualifies as a cash
    flow hedge. As a result, fair value changes that were previously
    recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are
    immediately recognized in earnings. In all other instances, when
    a derivative financial instrument ceases to be designated or to
    qualify as an effective cash flow hedge but if it is still
    possible the hedged forecasted transaction may

    On February&#160;25, 2008, the Company signed contracts with
    Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan for the construction of five LPG
    carriers at an aggregate contract price of Yen 12,008,000,000
    (approx. $124,486,017 based upon an aggregate average USD/JPY
    exchange rate of $1.00:JPY 96.46). The vessels, after an
    agreement signed on February&#160;27, 2009, are scheduled for
    delivery between February 2011 and May 2012. On June&#160;18,
    2010, the Company signed a further agreement with the shipyard
    which provides for a 5% reduction of the contract price of each
    vessel under construction. This reduction will be deducted from
    the final instalment due upon delivery of each vessel. During
    the years 2009 and 2010, the Company effected advance payments
    to the shipbuilding yard of Yen 1,200,800,000 ($11,375,989) and
    Yen 1,311,200,000 ($13,046,531), respectively.

    Endurance&#148; (formerly &#147;Hull No.&#160;2139&#148;) which
    was delivered on July&#160;14, 2009. The purchase price of this
    vessel was $57,500,000. On March&#160;27, 2008, the Company paid
    10% of the purchase price, to a joint escrow account in the name

    On June&#160;25, 2008, the Company entered into a memorandum of
    agreement to acquire from an unaffiliated entity an under
    construction M.R. type product carrier named &#147;Stealth
    Argentina&#148; (formerly &#147;Hull No 061&#148;) which was
    scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2009. The
    purchase price of this vessel was $57,500,000. On June&#160;30,
    2008, the Company paid 10% of the purchase price, to a joint
    escrow account in the name of the seller and buyer. In December
    2009 the Company began negotiations with the seller to cancel
    the acquisition of the vessel due to various technical
    deficiencies identified in vessel&#146;s design. In December
    2009, the Company and the seller mutually agreed to cancel the
    memorandum of agreement to acquire the vessel. The cancellation
    fee consisted of forfeiture of the Company&#146;s deposit
    totaling $5,750,000, plus a cash payment of $10,750,000. The
    total cancellation fee of $16,500,000 is included in the
    consolidated statements of operations under the caption
    &#147;Forfeiture of vessel deposit and contract termination
    fees&#148;.

    <B><I>Fair Value of Financial
    Instruments:</I></B>&#160;&#160;The carrying values of cash,
    accounts receivable and accounts payable are reasonable
    estimates of their fair value due to the short term nature of
    these financial instruments. The fair value of long term bank
    loans bearing interest at variable interest rates approximates
    the recorded values. Additionally, the Company considers the
    creditworthiness when determining the fair value of the credit
    facilities. The carrying value approximates the fair market
    value of the floating rate loans. The Company&#146;s interest
    rate swap agreements are based on LIBOR swap rates. LIBOR swap
    rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full
    terms of the swap and therefore are considered Level&#160;2
    items. The fair values of the interest rate swaps determined
    through Level&#160;2 of the fair value hierarchy are derived
    principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
    Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities
    (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market
    comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that
    allow value to be determined. The fair value of the interest
    rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow method
    based on market-base LIBOR swap yield curves. The fair value of
    the Company&#146;s interest rate swaps and foreign currency
    contracts was the estimated amount the Company would pay or
    receive to terminate the swap agreements and contracts at the
    reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and
    the prevailing USD/JPY exchange rate, respectively, and the
    current creditworthiness of the Company and its counter parties.

    Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income
    available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number
    of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
    per share give effect to all potentially dilutive securities.
    Our non-vested restricted shares were potentially dilutive
    securities during the year ended December&#160;31, 2010. All of

    issued under the Plan) participate equally in dividend
    distributions and in undistributed earnings. Non-vested common
    stock does not have a contractual obligation to share in the
    losses and therefore, excluded from the basic loss per share
    calculation for the year ended December&#160;31, 2009 due to the
    losses in 2009.

    Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of the United States (the
    &#147;Code&#148;), U.S.&#160;source income from the
    international operations of ships is generally exempt from
    U.S.&#160;tax if the Company operating the ships meets certain
    requirements. Among other things, in order to qualify for this
    exemption, the Company operating the ships must be incorporated
    in a country, which grants an equivalent exemption from income
    taxes to U.S.&#160;corporations. All the Company&#146;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.&#160;corporations. These companies
    also currently satisfy the more than 50% beneficial ownership
    requirement.

    In addition, the management of the Company believes that by
    virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the
    ship-operating companies are beneficially 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&#146;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&#146;s
    control.

    The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash,

    (formerly Hull &#147;K422&#148;), &#147;Gas Cerberus&#148;
    (formerly Hull &#147;K423&#148;) and &#147;Gas Myth&#148;,
    (formerly Hull &#147;K421&#148;), respectively, by three of the
    Company&#146;s wholly owned subsidiaries. The senior secured
    term loan facility will be the lesser of the amount of
    $49,500,000 and the 75% of the vessels&#146; charter free market
    value at the time of delivery. The term loan will be drawn down
    in three tranches upon the delivery of each vessel. The first
    tranche amounted to $16,500,000 was drawn down on March&#160;1,
    2011, the second tranche amounted to $16,400,000 was drawn down
    on April&#160;20, 2011, and the third tranche of $16,500,000 is
    expected in July 2011. The total facility of $49,400,000 will be
    repayable, with the first installment commencing three months
    after the drawdown, in twenty eight consecutive quarterly
    installments of $825,000 each plus a balloon payment of
    $26,300,000 payable together with the last installment. The term
    loan&#146;s interest rate is LIBOR plus a margin. In addition to
    a first priority mortgage over the vessels, the term loan is
    secured by the assignment of the vessels&#146; insurances,
    earnings, operating and retention accounts and the guarantee of
    the ship owning subsidiary.

Payment Date relating thereto, the first such period selected by the Agent shall be of a
duration equal to the period between the due date of such principal sum and such Interest
Payment Date and interest shall be payable on such principal sum during such period at a
rate of two per cent (2%) above the rate applicable thereto immediately before it shall

is unable to determine a rate in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause
3.4, each Bank shall promptly notify the Agent of the cost of funds to such Bank and
interest on any sum not paid on its due date for payment shall be calculated at a rate
determined by the Agent to be two per cent (2%) per annum above the aggregate of the
Margin and the cost of funds to such Bank compounded at such intervals as such Bank
selects.</TD>

    <TD>If the Borrower fails to pay any sum (including, without limitation, any sum payable
pursuant to this clause 3.4) on its due date for payment under any of the Security
Documents (other than the Master Agreement), the Borrower must pay interest on such sum on
demand from the due date up to the date of actual payment (as well after as before
judgment) at a rate determined by the Lender pursuant to this clause 3.4. The period
starting on such due date and ending on such date of payment shall be divided into
successive periods of not more than three (3)&nbsp;months as selected by the Lender each of
which (other than the first, which shall start on such due date) shall start on the last

shall be the aggregate (as determined by the Lender) of (a)&nbsp;two per cent (<I>2</I>%) per annum,

demand, or, if no demand is made, then on the last day of each such period as determined
by the Lender and on the day on which all amounts in respect of which interest is being
paid under this clause 3.4 are paid, and each such day shall, for the purposes of this

by the Lender shall be of a duration equal to the period between the due date of such
principal sum and such Interest Payment Date and interest shall be payable on such
principal sum during such period at a rate of two per cent (<I>2</I>%) above the rate applicable
thereto immediately before it shall have become so due and payable. If, for the reasons
specified in clause 3.6.1, the Lender is unable to determine a rate in accordance with the
