the same period of last year. The decline in bunker costs led to an overall decline in voyage expenses in spite of the higher number of spot market days in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015.The 23.9% increase in
operating expenses compared to the same period of 2015, is due to a net fleet expansion of seven vessels, and two vessels coming off bareboat, resulting in increased time charter and spot activity by 587 days. </TD></TR></TABLE>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Revenue generation and fleet utilization in the first quarter of 2016 was lower than expected due to mild weather conditions, volatility of oil prices, weak
freight rates and the slowing down of demolition in the coastal LPG segment. In addition to this we had two vessels coming off bareboat- one in the fourth quarter of 2015 and one in the first quarter of 2016- thus adding to our operating cost base.
We believe that our Company&#146;s performance was commendable as we are currently operating in a very weak environment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our contracted revenues have
remained at steady levels- close to $185 million, we had only 12 days of technical off hire- excluding three scheduled drydockings that took place this quarter- while our leverage is maintained at low levels close to 40%. In terms of our investment
plan we were happy to announce the financing of our total orderbook including our last four newbuildings to be delivered in 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Conference Call

materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, charter counterparty performance, changes
in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled dry dockings, shipyard performance, changes in STEALTHGAS INC&#146;s operating expenses, including bunker prices, dry-docking and insurance costs, ability to obtain

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted Net income represents Net Income before loss on derivatives excluding swap interest paid, share based compensation and gain on sale of vessel. EBITDA
represents net income before interest and finance costs including swap interest paid, interest income and other income, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share based compensation, loss on derivatives, excluding
swap interest paid, and gain on sale of vessel. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS may not
be comparable to that reported by other companies in the shipping or other industries. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the
adjustments in this presentation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS are included herein because they are a basis, upon which
we assess our financial performance. They allow us to present our performance from period to period on a comparable basis and provide additional information on fleet operational results. We also use EBITDA to assess our liquidity position and
believe it represents useful information for investors regarding a company&#146;s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. </P>
