Unless stated otherwise, the information below giveseffect to a one-for-five reverse stock split of our common shares effected on April 25, 2014. Overview We are a Marshall Islands corporation incorporated in the Marshall Islands on July 1, 2013 and headquartered in theUnited States. We are focused on owning and operating VLGCs in the LPG shipping industry. Our founding executives havemanaged vessels in the LPG shipping market since 2002. We currently own and operate a fleet of twenty-two VLGCs,including nineteen new fuel-efficient 84,000 cbm ECO-design VLGCs, or our ECO VLGCs, and three 82,000 cbm VLGCs.The twenty-two VLGCs in our fleet have an aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 1.8 million cbm and an averageage of 1.9 years as of May 26, 2016. We provide in-house commercial and technical management services for all of ourvessels, including our vessels deployed in the Helios Pool, which may receive commercial management services fromPhoenix (described below). Sixteen of our ECO VLGCs were constructed at Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., or Hyundai, and three of ourECO VLGCs were constructed at Daewoo Shipping and Marine Engineering Ltd, or Daewoo. Our nineteen ECO VLGCs,which incorporate fuel efficiency and emission-reducing technologies and certain custom features, were acquired by us for anaggregate purchase price of $1.4 billion, which was financed with proceeds from a $758 million debt facility that we enteredinto in March 2015 with a group of banks and financial institutions, or the 2015 Debt Facility, proceeds from equityofferings, and cash generated from operations. These nineteen ECO VLGCs were delivered to us between July 2014 andFebruary 2016, seventeen of which were delivered during calendar year 2015 or later. On April 1, 2015, we and Phoenix Tankers Pte. Ltd., or Phoenix, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsui OSK LinesLtd., a company not related to us, began operation of Helios LPG Pool LLC, or the Helios Pool, a joint venture owned 50%by us and 50% by Phoenix. We believe that the operation of certain of our VLGCs in this pool will allow us to achieve bettermarket coverage and utilization. Vessels entered into the Helios Pool are commercially managed jointly by Dorian LPG (UK)Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Phoenix. The members of the Helios Pool share in the net pool revenues generated bythe entire group of vessels participating in the pool, weighted according to certain technical vessel characteristics, and netpool revenues are distributed as variable rate time charter hire to each participant. The vessels entered into the Helios Poolmay operate either in the spot market, pursuant to contracts of affreightment, or COAs, or on time charters of two years'duration or less. We and Phoenix have agreed that the Helios Pool will have a right of first refusal to operate each VLGC ofour respective fleets not employed on a time charter of more than two years' duration. In March 2016, the Helios Pool reachedan agreement with Oriental Energy Company Ltd., or Oriental Energy, one of the largest propane dehydrogenation plantoperators and LPG importers in China to operate eight VLGCs on its behalf. As of May 26, 2016, the Helios Pool operatedtwenty-four VLGCs, including eighteen of our vessels, four Phoenix vessels, and two Oriental Energy vessels. When fullydelivered, the Helios Pool will operate six additional VLGCs for Oriental Energy, some of which will be time chartered-in at afixed time charter hire rate. In addition, the Helios Pool has entered into a COA with Oriental Energy covering OrientalEnergy’s shipments from the United States Gulf, which gives us exposure to the growing Chinese LPG market. 1 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Traditionally the main trading route in our industry has been thetransport of LPG from the Arabian Gulf to Asia. With the emergence of the United States as a major LPG export hub, the U.S.Gulf to Asia has become an important trade route. Vessels are generally operated under time charters, bareboat charters, spotcharters, or contracts of affreightment. LPG distributors and traders use their fleets not only to transport their own LPG, butalso to transport LPG for third-party charterers in direct competition with independent owners and operators in the tankercharter market. We operate in markets that are highly competitive and based primarily on supply and demand of availablevessels. Generally, we compete for charters based upon charter rate, customer relationships, operating expertise, professionalreputation and vessel specifications (size, age and condition). We also believe that our in-house technical and commercialmanagement allows us to provide superior customer service and reliability which enhances our relationships with ourcharterers. Our industry is subject to strict environmental regulation, including emissions regulations, and we believe ourmodern, ECO-class fleet and our high level of crew training and vessel maintenance make us a preferred provider of VLGCtonnage.Our Customers Our customers, either directly or through the Helios Pool, include or have included global energy companies such asExxon Mobil Corp., China International United Petroleum & Chemicals Co., Ltd., Royal Dutch Shell plc and Statoil ASA,commodity traders such as Itochu Corporation and the Vitol Group and importers such as E1 Corp., SK Gas Co. Ltd. andIndian Oil Corporation. See “Item 7. Management Discussion and Analysis—Overview” for a discussion of our customersthat accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues and “Item 1A. Risk Factors—We expect to be dependent on a limitednumber of customers for a material part of our revenues, and failure of such customers to meet their obligations could causeus to suffer losses or negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows.” For the year ended March 31, 2016,approximately 70.2% of our revenue was generated through the Helios Pool as net pool revenues—related parties. See “Item1A. Risk Factors—We and the Helios Pool operate exclusively in the LPG shipping industry. Due to our lack ofdiversification and the lack of diversification of the Helios Pool, adverse developments in the LPG shipping industry mayadversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.” We intend to pursue a balanced chartering strategy by employing our vessels on a mix of multi-year time charters,some of which may include a profit-sharing component, shorter-term time charters, spot market voyages and COAs. Six of ourvessels are currently on fixed time charters, including two vessels on fixed time charter within the Helios Pool. These fixedtime charters have an average remaining term of 2.4 years as of May 26, 2016. See “Our Fleet” above for more information. Competition LPG carrier capacity is primarily a function of the size of the existing world fleet, the number of newbuildings beingdelivered and the scrapping of older vessels. According to industry sources, there were 1,377 LPG carriers with an aggregatecapacity of about 27.6 million cbm as of April 1, 2016. As of such date, a further 180 LPG carriers with an aggregate carryingcapacity of about 8.28 million cbm were on order for delivery by the end of 2018, equivalent to 30% of the existing fleet incapacity terms. In contrast to oil tankers and drybulk carriers, according to industry sources, the number of shipyards withLPG carrier experience is quite limited, and as such, a sudden influx of supply beyond what is already on order before 2017 isunlikely. In the VLGC sector in which we operate, as of April 1, 2016, there were 215 vessels with an aggregate carryingcapacity of 17.5 million cbm in the world fleet with 61 vessels on order for delivery by 2018. Our largest competitors for VLGC shipping services include BW LPG Limited, or BWLPG, Navigator Holdings Ltd.,or NVGS, Avance Gas Holding Ltd., or Avance, Petredec, Astomos Energy Corporation and a number of smaller, closely heldvessel owners. According to industry sources, there were approximately 55 owners in the entire worldwide VLGC fleet as ofApril 1, 2016, with the top ten owners possessing 51% of the total carrying capacity in service. Competition for thetransportation of LPG depends on the price, location, size, age, condition and acceptability of the vessel to the charterer. Webelieve we own and operate the youngest and second largest fleet in the VLGC size segment,3 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Risk Factors—We will facesubstantial competition in trying to expand relationships with existing customers and obtain new customers.” Seasonality Liquefied gases are primarily used for industrial and domestic heating, as a chemical and refinery feedstock, as atransportation fuel and in agriculture. The LPG shipping market is typically stronger in the spring and summer months inanticipation 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 the supply of certain commodities.Demand for our vessels therefore may be stronger in our quarters ending June 30 and September 30 and relatively weakerduring our quarters ending December 31 and March 31, although 12-month time charter rates tend to smooth these short-termfluctuations. To the extent any of our time charters expire during the relatively weaker fiscal quarters ending December 31and March 31, it may not be possible to re-charter our vessels at similar rates. As a result, we may have to accept lower rates orexperience off-hire time for our vessels, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results. Employees As of March 31, 2016, we employed 67 persons in our offices in the United States, Greece and the United Kingdom.In addition to our shore-based employees, we had approximately 530 seafaring staff serving on our owned vessels. Seafarersare sourced from seafarer recruitment and placement service agencies and are employed with short-term employmentcontracts. Classification, Inspection and Maintenance Every large, commercial seagoing vessel must be "classed" by a classification society. A classification societycertifies that a vessel is "in class," signifying that the vessel has been built and maintained in accordance with the rules of theclassification society and the vessel's country of registry and the international conventions of which that country is amember. In addition, where surveys are required by international conventions and corresponding laws and ordinances of aflag state, the classification society will undertake them on application or by official order, acting on behalf of the authoritiesconcerned. For maintenance of the class certificate, regular and special surveys of hull, machinery, including the electrical plantand any special equipment classed, are required to be performed by the classification society, to ensure continuingcompliance. Vessels are drydocked at least once during a five‑year class cycle for inspection of the underwater parts and forrepairs related to inspections. Vessels under five years of age can waive drydocking provided the vessel is inspectedunderwater. If any defects are found, the classification surveyor will issue a "recommendation" which must be rectified by theshipowner within prescribed time limits. The classification society also undertakes on request of the flag state other surveysand checks that are required by the regulations and requirements of that flag state. These surveys are subject to agreementsmade in each individual case and/or to the regulations of the country concerned. Most insurance underwriters make it a condition for insurance coverage that a vessel be certified as "in class" by aclassification society, which is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies, or the IACS. InDecember 2013, the IACS adopted harmonized Common Structure Rules that align with International MaritimeOrganization, or the IMO, goal standards. Our VLGCs are currently classed with Lloyd's Register, the American Bureau ofShipping, or ABS, or Det Norske Veritas, all members of the IACS. All of the vessels in our fleet have been awardedInternational Safety Management, or ISM, certification and are currently "in class." We also carry out inspections of the ships on a regular basis; both at sea and while the vessels are in port. The resultsof these inspections are documented in a report containing recommendations for improvements to the overall condition ofthe vessel, maintenance, safety and crew welfare. Based in part on these evaluations, we create and implement a program ofcontinual maintenance and improvement for our vessels and their systems. 4 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Our vessels are operated in a manner intended to protect the safety and healthof the crew, the general public and the environment. We actively manage the risks inherent in our business and arecommitted to preventing incidents that threaten safety, such as groundings, fires and collisions. We are also committed toreducing emissions and waste generation. We have established key performance indicators to facilitate regular monitoring ofour operational performance. We set targets on an annual basis to drive continuous improvement, and we review performanceindicators every three months to determine if remedial action is necessary to reach our targets. Our shore staff performs a fullrange of technical, commercial and business development services for us. This staff also provides administrative support toour operations in finance, accounting and human resources. Risk of Loss and Insurance The operation of any vessel, including LPG carriers, has inherent risks. These risks include mechanical failure,personal injury, collision, property loss, vessel or cargo loss or damage and business interruption due to politicalcircumstances in foreign countries or hostilities. In addition, there is always an inherent possibility of marine disaster,including explosions, spills and other environmental mishaps, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vesselsin international trade. We believe that our present insurance coverage is adequate to protect us against the accident relatedrisks involved in the conduct of our business and that we maintain appropriate levels of environmental damage and pollutioninsurance coverage consistent with standard industry practice. However, not all risks can be insured, and there can be noguarantee that any specific claim will be paid, or that we will always be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage atreasonable rates. We have obtained hull and machinery insurance on all our vessels against marine and war risks, which include therisks of damage to our vessels, salvage or towing costs, and actual or constructive total loss. However, our insurance policiescontain deductible amounts for which we are responsible. We have also arranged additional total loss coverage for eachvessel. This coverage, which is called hull interest and freight interest coverage, provides us additional coverage in the eventof the total loss of a vessel. We have also obtained loss of hire insurance to protect us against loss of income in the event one of our vesselscannot be employed due to damage that is covered under the terms of our hull and machinery insurance (marine and warrisks). Under our loss of hire policies, our insurer will pay us an agreed daily rate in respect of each VLGC in excess of 180deductible days for the time that the vessel is out of service as a result of damage, for a maximum of 180 days. Protection and indemnity insurance, which covers our third party legal liabilities in connection with our shippingactivities, is provided by mutual protection and indemnity associations, or P&I clubs. This insurance includes third partyliability and other expenses related to the injury or death of crew members, passengers and other third parties, loss or damageto cargo, claims arising from collisions with other vessels or from contact with jetties or wharves and other damage to otherthird party property, including pollution arising from oil or other substances, and other related costs, including wreckremoval. Subject to the capping discussed below, our coverage, except for pollution, is unlimited. Our current protection and indemnity insurance coverage for pollution is $1 billion per vessel per incident. Thethirteen P&I clubs that comprise the International Group of Protection and Indemnity Clubs, or the International Group,insure approximately 90% of the world's commercial tonnage and have entered into a pooling agreement to reinsure eachassociation's liabilities. Each P&I club has capped its exposure in this pooling agreement so that the maximum claim coveredby the pool and its reinsurance would be approximately $5.45 billion per accident or occurrence. We are a member of threeP&I Clubs: The Standard Club Ltd., The United Kingdom Mutual Steamship Assurance Association (Bermuda) Limited andThe London Steam‑Ship Owners' Mutual Insurance Association Limited. As a member of these P&I clubs, we are subject to acall for additional premiums based on the clubs' claims record, as well as the claims record of all other members of the P&Iclubs comprising the International Group.

These regulations include international conventions and national, state and local laws and regulations in the countrieswhere our vessels now or, in the future, will operate or where our vessels are registered. We cannot predict the ultimate cost ofcomplying with these regulations, or the impact that these regulations will have on the resale value or useful lives of ourvessels. Various governmental and quasi-governmental agencies require us to obtain permits, licenses and certificates for theoperation of our vessels. For the years ending March 31, 2017 and 2018, we estimate that capital expenditures for reducingour environmental emissions would total approximately $0.6 million on two of our VLGCs relating to performanceenhancing devices to achieve power savings resulting in lower fuel consumption. Although we believe that we are substantially in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulationsand have all permits, licenses and certificates required for our vessels, future non‑compliance or failure to maintain necessarypermits or approvals could require us to incur substantial costs or temporarily suspend operation of one or more of ourvessels. A variety of governmental and private entities inspect our vessels on both a scheduled and unscheduled basis. Theseentities, each of which may have unique requirements and each of which conducts frequent inspections, include local portauthorities, such as the U.S. Coast Guard, or USCG, harbor master or equivalent, classification societies, flag state, or theadministration of the country of registry, charterers, terminal operators and LPG producers. International Maritime Organization Regulation of LPG Vessels The IMO is the United Nations' agency that provides international regulations governing shipping and internationalmaritime trade, including the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, the InternationalConvention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, and the International Convention for the Prevention ofPollution from Ships, or the MARPOL. The flag state, as discussed in the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea, hasoverall responsibility for the implementation and enforcement of international maritime regulations for all ships granted theright to fly its flag. The "Shipping Industry Guidelines on Flag State Performance" evaluates flag states based on factors suchas sufficiency of infrastructure, ratification of international maritime treaties, implementation and enforcement ofinternational maritime regulations, supervision of surveys, casualty investigations, and participation at IMO meetings. Eachof our vessels is flagged in the Bahamas. The requirements contained in the International Management Code for the SafeOperation of Ships and Pollution Prevention, or the ISM Code, promulgated by the IMO, govern our operations. Amongother requirements, the ISM Code requires shipowners, ship managers and bareboat charterers to develop and maintain anextensive safety management system that includes, among other things, the adoption of policies for safety and environmentalprotection setting forth instructions and procedures for operating its vessels safely and also describing procedures forresponding to emergencies. We are compliant with the requirement to hold a Document of Compliance under the ISM Codefor LPG ships (Gas carriers). Vessels that transport gas, including LPG carriers, are also subject to regulation under the IMO's International Codefor the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk Gas Carrier Code, or the IGC Code. The IGCCode and similar regulations in individual member states, address fire and explosion risk posed by the transport of liquefiedgases. Collectively these standards and regulations impose detailed requirements relating to the design and arrangement orcargo tanks, vents, and pipes; construction materials and compatibility; cargo pressure; and temperature control. Compliancewith the IGC Code must be evidenced by a Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Liquefied Gases of Bulk. Each of ourvessels is in compliance with the IGC Code. Non‑compliance with the IGC Code or other applicable IMO regulations maysubject a shipowner or a bareboat charterer to increased liability, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage foraffected vessels and may result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports. The IMO also periodically amends the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974 and its protocolof 1988, otherwise known as SOLAS, and its implementing regulations. SOLAS includes construction, equipment, andprocedure requirements to assure the safe operation of commercial vessels. Among other things, SOLAS requires lifeboats andother life‑saving appliances be provided on vessels and mandates the use of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System,an international radio equipment and watchkeeping standard, afloat and at shore stations. The IMO has also6 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Flag states that have ratified SOLAS and STCW generally employ the classification societies,which have incorporated SOLAS and STCW requirements into their class rules, to undertake surveys to confirm compliance. In the wake of increased worldwide security concerns, after the September 11, 2001 attack in the United States, theIMO amended SOLAS and added the International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code, or ISPS, as a new chapter to thatconvention. The objective of the ISPS, which came into effect on July 1, 2004, is to detect security threats and takepreventive measures against security incidents affecting ships or port facilities. Amendments to SOLAS Chapter VII, mademandatory in 2004, apply to vessels transporting dangerous goods and require those vessels to be in compliance with theInternational Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, or IMDG Code. We have developed Ship Security Plans, appointed andtrained Ship and Office Security Officers and all of our vessels have been certified to meet the ISPS Code requirements. SOLAS and other IMO regulations concerning safety, including those relating to treaties on training of shipboardpersonnel, lifesaving appliances, radio equipment and the global maritime distress and safety system, are applicable to ouroperations. Non‑compliance with these IMO regulations may subject us to increased liability or penalties, may lead todecreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to or detention in someports. For example, the USCG and European Union, or EU, authorities have indicated that vessels not in compliance with theISM Code will be prohibited from trading in U.S. and EU ports. The MARPOL Convention establishes environmental standards relating to oil leakage or spilling, garbagemanagement, sewage, air emissions, handling and disposal of noxious liquids and the handling of harmful substances carriedin bulk, liquid or packaged form. The IMO amended Annex I to MARPOL by adding a new regulation relating to oil fuel tank protection that appliesto various ships delivered on or after August 1, 2010. It includes requirements for the protected location of the fuel tanks,performance standards for accidental oil fuel outflow, a tank capacity limit and certain other maintenance, inspection andengineering standards. IMO regulations also require owners and operators of vessels to adopt Ship Oil Pollution EmergencyPlans. Periodic training and drills for response personnel and for vessels and their crews are required. In 2012, the IMO's Marine Environmental Protection Committee, or MEPC, adopted a resolution amending theInternational Code for the Construction of Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk, or IBC Code. Theprovisions of the IBC Code are mandatory under MARPOL and SOLAS. These amendments, which entered into force in June2014, pertain to revised international certificates of fitness for the carriage of dangerous chemicals in bulk and identifyingnew products that fall under the IBC Code. In May 2014, additional amendments to the IBC Code were adopted that becameeffective in January 2016. These amendments pertain to the installation of stability instruments and cargo tank purging. OurECO VLGCs are equipped with stability instruments and cargo tank purging. We may need to make certain financialexpenditures to comply with these amendments for the remaining VLGCs. The IMO continues to review and introduce new regulations. It is impossible to predict what additional regulations,if any, may be passed by the IMO and what effect, if any, such regulation may have on our operations. Air Emissions In September 1997, the IMO adopted MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI "Regulations for the prevention of Air Pollution" toMARPOL, or Annex VI, to address air pollution from ships. Annex VI came into force on May 19, 2005. It applies to allships, fixed and floating drilling rigs and other floating platforms, sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissionsfrom ship exhausts, and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances, such as chlorofluoro carbons."Deliberate emissions" are not limited to times when the ship is at sea; they can for example include discharges occurring inthe course of the ship's repair and maintenance. Shipboard incineration (from incinerators installed after January 1, 2000) ofcertain substances (such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs) are also prohibited. Annex VI also includes a global cap onsulfur content of fuel oil and allows for more stringent controls on sulfur emissions in special coastal areas known asEmission Control Areas, or ECAs, designated by the MEPC. Ships weighing more than 400 gross7 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Annex VIhas been ratified by some but not all IMO member states. Annex VI came into force in the United States on January 8, 2009.All the vessels in our operating fleet have been issued IAPP Certificates. Amended Annex VI also establishes new tiers of stringent nitrogen oxide emissions standards for new marineengines, depending on their date of installation. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA, promulgatedequivalent (and in some senses stricter) emissions standards in late 2009. As a result of these designations or similar futuredesignations, we may be required to incur additional operating or other costs. On July 1, 2010, amendments to Annex VI that require progressively stricter limitations on sulfur emissions fromships took effect. As of January 1, 2012, fuel used to power ships was not permitted to contain more than 3.5% sulfur. Thiscap will then decrease progressively until it reaches 0.5% by January 1, 2020, subject to a feasibility review to be completedno later than 2018. However, in ECAs such as the North America ECA fuels cannot contain more than 0.1% sulfur as ofJanuary 1, 2015. The Annex VI amendments also establish new tiers of stringent nitrogen oxide emissions standards for newmarine engines, depending on their date of installation. Further, the European directive 2005/33/EU, which became effectiveon January 1, 2010, bans the use of fuel oils containing more than 0.1% sulfur by mass by any merchant vessel while at berthin any EU country. Our vessels have achieved compliance, where necessary, with both the applicable IMO and EU sulfurregulations, by being arranged to burn compliant fuels for the area of their operation. Additionally, as discussed above, more stringent emission standards could apply in coastal areas designated asECAs, such as the United States and Canadian coastal areas designated by the MEPC. U.S. air emissions standards are nowequivalent to these amended Annex VI requirements, and once these amendments become effective, we may incur costs tocomply with these revised standards. Additional or new conventions, laws and regulations may be adopted that could requirethe installation of expensive emission control systems. Ballast Water Management Convention The IMO adopted the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water andSediments, or the BWM Convention, in February 2004. The BWM will not enter into force until 12 months after it has beenadopted by 30 states, the combined merchant fleets of which represent not less than 35% of the gross tonnage of the world'smerchant shipping tonnage. As of late March 2016, 49 states had adopted the BWM Convention, coming close to the 35%threshold. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the BWM Convention has not been ratified. Proposals regarding implementationhave recently been submitted to the IMO, but we cannot predict the ultimate timing for ratification. Many of theimplementation dates originally written into the BWM Convention have already passed, so on December 4, 2013, the IMOAssembly has passed a resolution revising the dates of applicability of the requirements of the BWM Convention so that theyare triggered by the entry into force dated, and not the dates originally in the BWM Convention. This in effect makes allvessels constructed before the entry into force date “existing vessels,” and delayed the date for installation of ballast watermanagement systems on vessels until the first renewal survey following entry into force of the convention. Furthermore, inOctober 2014 the MEPC met and adopted additional resolutions concerning the BWM Convention’s implementation. Uponentry into force of the BWM Convention, mid-ocean ballast exchange would become mandatory. When mid-ocean ballastexchange or ballast water treatment requirements become mandatory, the cost of compliance could increase for oceancarriers, and the costs of ballast water treatment, may be material. However, many countries already regulate the discharge ofballast water carried by vessels from country to country to prevent the introduction of invasive and harmful species via suchdischarges. The United States, for example, requires vessels entering its waters from another country to conduct mid-oceanballast exchange, or undertake some alternate measure, and to comply with certain reporting requirements. Although we donot believe the costs of compliance with mandatory mid-ocean ballast exchange would be material, it is difficult to predictthe overall impact of such a requirement on our operations. Bunkers Convention / Civil Liability Convention State Certificates The International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damaged of 2001, or the BunkerConvention, entered into force on November 21, 2008. The Bunker Convention provides a liability, compensation andcompulsory insurance system for the victims of oil pollution damage caused by spills of bunker oil. The Bunker8 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsConvention requires the ship owner liable to pay compensation for pollution damage (including the cost of preventivemeasures) caused in the territory, including the territorial sea of a State Party, as well as its economic zone or equivalent area.Registered owners of any sea going vessel and seaborne craft over 1,000 gross tonnage, of any type whatsoever, andregistered in a State Party, or entering or leaving a port in the territory of a State Party, will be required to maintain insurancewhich meets the requirements of the Bunker Convention, an amount equal to the limits of liability under the applicablenational or international limitation regime (but not exceeding the amount calculated in accordance with the BunkerConvention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims of 1976, as amended, or the LLMC) and to obtain a certificateissued by a State Party attesting that such insurance is in force. The State issued certificate must be carried on board at alltimes. With respect to non-ratifying states, liability for spills or releases of bunker fuel is determined by the national or otherdomestic laws in the jurisdiction where the events or damage occur. Many countries have ratified and follow the liability plan adopted by the IMO and set out in the InternationalConvention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969, as amended in 2000, or CLC. Under this convention anddepending on whether the country in which the damage results is a party to the 1992 Protocol to the CLC, a vessel'sregistered owner is strictly liable for pollution damage caused in the territorial waters of a contracting state by discharge ofpersistent oil, subject to certain complete defenses. The limited liability protections are forfeited under the CLC where thespill is caused by the owner's personal fault and under the 1992 Protocol where the spill is caused by the owner's personal actor omission or by intentional or reckless conduct. Vessels trading to states that are parties to these conventions must provideevidence of insurance covering the liability of the owner. In jurisdictions such as the United States where the CLC or the Bunkers Convention has not been adopted, variouslegislative schemes or common law govern, and liability is imposed either on the basis of fault or on a strict-liability basis. P&I Clubs in the International Group issue the required Bunkers Convention "Blue Cards" to enable signatory statesto issue certificates. All of our vessels are in possession of a CLC State‑issued certificate attesting that the required insurancecoverage is in force. Anti‑‑Fouling Requirements In 2001, the IMO adopted the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti‑fouling Systems on Ships,or the Anti‑fouling Convention. The Anti‑fouling Convention, which entered into force on September 17, 2008, prohibitsthe use of organotin compound coatings to prevent the attachment of mollusks and other sea life to the hulls of vessels.Vessels of over 400 gross tons engaged in international voyages must obtain an International Anti‑fouling SystemCertificate, or AFS, and undergo a survey before the vessel is put into service or when the antifouling systems are altered orreplaced. We have obtained AFSs for all of our vessels, which are subject to the Anti‑fouling Convention, and do not believethat maintaining such certificates will have an adverse financial impact on the operation of our vessels. United States Environmental Regulation of LPG Vessels Our vessels operating in U.S. waters now, or in the future, are or will be subject to various federal, state and locallaws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. In some cases, these laws and regulations require us to obtaingovernmental permits and authorizations before we may conduct certain activities. These environmental laws andregulations may impose substantial penalties for noncompliance and substantial liabilities for pollution. Failure to complywith these laws and regulations may result in substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties. As with the industrygenerally, our operations will entail risks in these areas, and compliance with these laws and regulations, which may besubject to frequent revisions and reinterpretation, increases our overall cost of business. Oil Pollution Act and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA90, established an extensive regulatory and liability regime forenvironmental protection and cleanup of oil spills. OPA90 affects all owners and operators whose vessels trade with theUnited States or its territories or possessions, or whose vessels operate in the waters of the United States, which include theU.S. territorial waters and the two hundred nautical mile exclusive economic zone of the United States. The ComprehensiveEnvironmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or CERCLA, applies to the discharge of9 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

While OPA90 and CERCLA would not apply to the discharge of LPG, theymay affect us because we carry oil as fuel and lubricants for our engines, and the discharge of these substances could cause anenvironmental hazard. Under OPA90, vessel operators, including vessel owners, managers and bareboat or "demise"charterers, are "responsible parties" who are all liable regardless of fault, individually and as a group, for all containment andclean‑up costs and other damages arising from oil spills from their vessels. These "responsible parties" would not be liable ifthe spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war. The other damages aside fromclean‑up and containment costs are defined broadly to include: ·natural resource damages and related assessment costs; ·real and personal property damages; ·net loss of taxes, royalties, rents, profits or earnings capacity; ·lost profits or impairment of earning capacity due to injury, destruction or loss of real or personalproperty or natural resources; ·net cost of public services necessitated by a spill response, such as protection from fire, safety or healthhazards; and ·loss of subsistence use of natural resources. Effective December 21, 2015, the USCG adjusted the limits of OPA90 liability to the greater of $2,200 per gross tonor $18,796,800 for any double‑hull tanker that is over 3,000 gross tons (subject to possible adjustment for inflation). Theselimits of liability do not apply, however, where the incident is caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal safety,construction or operating regulations by a responsible party (or its agent, employee or a person acting pursuant to acontractual relationship), or a responsible party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. These limits likewise do not applyif the responsible party fails or refuses to report the incident or to cooperate and assist in connection with the substanceremoval activities. These limits are subject to possible adjustment for inflation. OPA90 specifically permits individual statesto impose their own liability regimes with regard to oil pollution incidents occurring within their boundaries, and some stateshave enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for discharge of pollutants within their waters. In some cases, states,which have enacted their own legislation, have not yet issued implementing regulations defining shipowners' responsibilitiesunder these laws. CERCLA, which also applies to owners and operators of vessels, contains a similar liability regime and provides forcleanup, removal and natural resource damages for releases of "hazardous substances." Liability under CERCLA is limited tothe greater of $300 per gross ton or $0.5 million for each release from vessels not carrying hazardous substances, cargo orresidue, and $300 per gross ton or $5 million for each release from vessels carrying hazardous substances, cargo or residue. Aswith OPA90, these limits of liability do not apply where the incident is caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal safety,construction or operating regulations, or by the responsible party's gross negligence or willful misconduct or if theresponsible party fails or refuses to report the incident or to cooperate and assist in connection with the substance removalactivities. OPA90 and CERCLA each preserve the right to recover damages under existing law, including maritime tort law. OPA90 requires owners and operators of vessels to establish and maintain with the USCG evidence of financialresponsibility sufficient to meet the limit of their potential strict liability under OPA90/CERCLA. Under the regulations,evidence of financial responsibility may be demonstrated by insurance, surety bond, self‑insurance or guaranty. UnderOPA90 regulations, an owner or operator of more than one vessel is required to demonstrate evidence of financialresponsibility for the entire fleet in an amount equal only to the financial responsibility requirement of the vessel having thegreatest maximum liability under OPA90/CERCLA. Each of our shipowning subsidiaries that has vessels trading in U.S.waters has applied for, and obtained from the USCG National Pollution Funds Center, three‑year certificates of financialresponsibility, supported by guarantees which we purchased from an insurance based provider.

In response to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, a number of bills that could potentially increase or even eliminatethe limits of liability under OPA90 have been introduced in the U.S. Congress. In April 2015, it was announced that newregulations are expected to be imposed in the United States regarding offshore oil and gas drilling. In December 2015, theBureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement announced a new pilot inspection program for offshore facilities.Compliance with any new requirements of OPA90 may substantially impact our cost of operations or require us to incuradditional expenses to comply with any new regulatory initiatives or statutes. Compliance with any new requirements ofOPA90 may substantially impact our cost of operations or require us to incur additional expenses to comply with any newregulatory initiatives or statutes. Additional legislation, regulation, or other requirements applicable to the operation of ourvessels that may be implemented in the future as could adversely affect our business and ability to make distributions to ourshareholders. Clean Water Act The United States Clean Water Act, or CWA, prohibits the discharge of oil or hazardous substances in United Statesnavigable waters unless authorized by a permit or exemption, and imposes strict liability in the form of penalties forunauthorized discharges. The CWA also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages andcomplements the remedies available under OPA90 and CERCLA. In additional, many U.S. states that border a navigablewaterway have enacted environmental pollution laws that impose strict liability on a person for removal costs and damagesresulting from a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous substance. These laws may be more stringent than U.S. federallaw. The EPA recently proposed revisions to the CWA. The EPA and the USCG have enacted rules relating to ballast water discharge, compliance with which requires theinstallation of equipment on our vessels to treat ballast water before it is discharged in or the implementation of other portfacility disposal arrangements or procedures at potentially substantial costs, and/or otherwise restrict our vessels fromentering U.S. waters. The EPA requires a permit regulating ballast water discharges and other discharges incidental to the normaloperation of certain vessels within U.S. water under the Vessel General Permit for Discharges Incidental to the NormalOperation of Vessels, or VGP. For a new vessel delivered to an owner or operator after September 19, 2009, to be covered bythe VGP, the owner must submit a Notice of Intent, or NOI, at least 30 days before the vessel operates in U.S. waters. OnMarch 28, 2013, the EPA re-issued the VGP for another 5 years. This VGP took effect on December 19, 2013. The VGPfocuses on authorizing discharges incidental to operations of commercial vessels and the new VGP contains numeric ballastwater discharge limits for most vessels to reduce the risk of invasive species in U.S. waters, more stringent requirements forgas scrubbers and the use of environmentally acceptable lubricants. The USCG regulations adopted under the U.S. National Invasive Species Act, or NISA, also impose mandatoryballast water management practices for all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks entering or operating in U.S. waters,which require the installation of equipment to treat ballast water before it is discharged in U.S. waters or, in the alternative,the implementation of other port facility disposal arrangements or procedures. Vessels not complying with these regulationsare restricted from entering U.S. waters. The USCG must approve any technology before it is placed on a vessel but has notyet approved the technology necessary for vessels to meet the foregoing standards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of January 1, 2014, vessels are technically subject to the phasing-in of thesestandards. As a result, the USCG has provided waivers to vessels which cannot install the as-yet unapproved technology. TheEPA, on the other hand, has taken a different approach to enforcing ballast discharge standards under the VGP. On December27, 2013, the EPA issued an enforcement response policy in connection with the new VGP in which the EPA indicated that itwould take into account the reasons why vessels do not have the requisite technology installed, but will not grant anywaivers. It should also be noted that in October 2015, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that directed theEPA to redraft the sections of the 2013 VGP that address ballast water. However, the Second Circuit stated that 2013 VGP11 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

It presently remains unclear how the ballast water requirements setforth by the EPA, the USCG, and IMO BWM Convention, some of which are in effect and some which are pending, will co-exist. Compliance with the VGP could require the installation of equipment on our vessel to treat ballast water before it isdischarged or the implementation of other disposal arrangements, and/or otherwise restrict our vessel from entering UnitedStates waters. In addition, certain states have enacted more stringent discharge standards as conditions to their requiredcertification of the VGP. We submit NOIs for our vessel where required and do not believe that the costs associated withobtaining and complying with the VGP have a material impact on our operations. Clean Air Act The U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended, or the CAA, requires the EPA to promulgate standards applicable toemissions of volatile organic compounds and other air contaminants. Our vessels are subject to vapor control and recoveryrequirements for certain cargoes when loading, unloading, ballasting, cleaning and conducting other operations in regulatedport areas and emission standards for so‑called "Category 3" marine diesel engines operating in U.S. waters. The marinediesel engine emission standards are currently limited to new engines beginning with the 2004 model year. On April 30,2010, the EPA promulgated final emission standards for Category 3 marine diesel engines equivalent to those adopted in theamendments to Annex VI. The emission standards apply in two stages: near‑term standards for newly‑built engines wentinto effect from 2011, and long‑term standards requiring an 80% reduction in nitrogen dioxides, or NOx, that went intoeffect on January 1, 2016. We have incurred costs to install control equipment on our vessels to comply with these standards. European Union The EU has also adopted legislation that would: (1) ban manifestly sub‑standard vessels (defined as those over 15years old that have been detained by port authorities at least twice in a six month period) from European waters and requireport states to inspect vessels posing a high risk to maritime safety or the marine environment; and (2) provide the EU withgreater authority and control over classification societies, including the ability to seek to suspend or revoke the authority ofnegligent societies. The EU has implemented regulations requiring vessels to use reduced sulfur content fuel for their main and auxiliaryengines. The EU Directive 2005/EC/33 (amending Directive 1999/32/EC) introduced requirements parallel to those inAnnex VI relating to the sulfur content of marine fuels. In addition, the EU imposed a 0.1% maximum sulfur requirement forfuel used by ships at berth in EU ports, effective January 1, 2010. In 2009, the EU amended a directive on ship‑source pollution imposing criminal sanctions for intentional, recklessor seriously negligent illicit ship-source discharges of polluting substances by ships including minor discharges and thedischarges, individually or in the aggregate, result in deteriorations or the quality of water. Aiding and abetting the dischargeof a polluting substance may also lead to criminal penalties. The directive could result in criminal liability for pollution fromvessels in waters of European countries that adopt implementing legislation. Criminal liability for pollution may result insubstantial penalties or fines and increased civil liability claims. We cannot predict what regulations, if any, may be adoptedby the EU or any other country or authority. Regulation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions In February 2005, the Kyoto Protocol entered into force. Pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol, adopting countries arerequired to implement national programs to reduce emissions of certain gases, generally referred to as greenhouse gases,which are suspected of contributing to global warming. The 2015 United Nations Convention on Climate ChangeConference in Paris did not result in an agreement that directly limited greenhouse gas emissions from ships. Currently, the emissions of greenhouse gases from ships involved in international transport are not subject to theKyoto Protocol. In December 2009, more than 27 nations, including the United States and China, signed the CopenhagenAccord, which includes a non‑binding commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, in December 2011,12 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

In April 2015, the European Parliamentapproved EU draft rules, which will require annual CO2 emission monitoring and reporting from ship owners who use EUports. These rules are expected to be effective in 2018 and apply to ships over 5,000gt. For 2020, the EU made a unilateralcommitment to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions from its member states by 20% of 1990 levels. The EU alsocommitted to reduce its emissions by 20% under the Kyoto Protocol's second period, from 2013 to 2020. As of January 1, 2013, all ships must comply with mandatory requirements adopted by MEPC in July 2011 in part toaddress greenhouse gas emissions. The amendments to Annex VI Regulations for the prevention of air pollution from shipsadd a new Chapter 4 to Annex VI on Regulations on energy efficiency requiring new ships to meet the Energy EfficiencyDesign Index, or EEDI, and all ships to develop and implement a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan, or SEEMP.Other amendments to Annex VI add new definitions and requirements for survey and certification, including the format forthe International Energy Efficiency Certificate. The regulations apply to all ships of 400 gross tonnage and above. These newrules will likely affect the operations of vessels that are registered in countries that are signatories to Annex VI or vessels thatcall upon ports located within such countries. The implementation of the EEDI and SEEMP standards could cause us to incuradditional compliance costs. MEPC is also considering market‑based mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions fromships. It is impossible to predict the likelihood that such a standard might be adopted or its potential impact on ouroperations at this time. In the United States, the EPA has issued a final finding that greenhouse gases threaten public health and safety, andhas promulgated regulations that regulate the emission of greenhouse gases from certain mobile sources and has proposedregulations to limit greenhouse gases from large stationary sources. The EPA enforces both the CAA and the internationalstandards found in Annex VI concerning marine diesel emissions and the sulfur content found in marine fuel. Any climatecontrol legislation or other regulatory initiatives adopted by the IMO, the EU, the U.S., or other countries where we operate,or any treaty adopted at the international level to succeed the Kyoto Protocol, that restrict emissions of greenhouse gasescould require us to make significant financial expenditures, including capital expenditures or operational changes toupgrade our vessels, that we cannot predict with certainty at this time. In addition, even without such regulation, our businessmay be indirectly affected to the extent that climate change results in sea level changes or more intense weather events. Vessel Security Regulations Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, there have been a variety of initiatives intended to enhance vesselsecurity. On November 25, 2002, the Maritime Transportation Act of 2002, or MTSA, came into effect. To implement certainportions of the MTSA, in July 2003, the USCG issued regulations requiring the implementation of certain securityrequirements aboard vessels operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. The regulations also imposerequirements on certain ports and facilities, some of which are regulated by the EPA. Similarly, in December 2002,amendments to SOLAS created a new chapter of the convention dealing specifically with maritime security. The new chapterXI-2 became effective in July 2004 and imposes various detailed security obligations on vessels and port authorities, most ofwhich are contained in the ISPS Code. The ISPS Code is designed to protect ports and international shipping againstterrorism. After July 1, 2004, to trade internationally, a vessel must attain an International Ship Security Certificate, or ISSC,from a recognized security organization approved by the vessel's flag state. Among the various requirements are: ·on‑board installation of automatic identification systems to provide a means for the automatictransmission of safety‑related information from among similarly equipped ships and shore stations,including information on a ship's identity, position, course, speed and navigational status; ·on‑board installation of ship security alert systems, which do not sound on the vessel but only alert theauthorities on shore; ·the development of vessel security plans; 13 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The USCG regulations, intended to align with international maritime security standards, exempt non‑U.S. vesselsfrom obtaining USCG‑approved MTSA vessel security plans provided such vessels have on board an ISSC that attests to thevessel's compliance with SOLAS security requirements and the ISPS Code. We have developed security plans, appointed and trained Ship and Company Security Officers and each of ourvessels in our fleet complies with the requirements of the ISPS Code, SOLAS and the MTSA. Other Regulation In 1996, the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damages in Connection with the Carriageof Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea, or HNS, was adopted and subsequently amended by the 2010 Protocol, or the2010 HNS Convention. Our LPG vessels may also become subject to the HNS Convention, if it is entered into force. The HNSConvention creates a regime of liability and compensation for damage from HNS, including liquefied gases. The HNSConvention introduces strict liability for the shipowner and covers pollution damage as well as the risks of fire andexplosion, including loss of life or personal injury and damage to property. The 2010 HNS Convention sets up a two‑tiersystem of compensation composed of compulsory insurance taken out by shipowners and an HNS Fund which comes intoplay when the insurance is insufficient to satisfy a claim or does not cover the incident. Under the 2010 HNS Convention, ifdamage is caused by bulk HNS, claims for compensation will first be sought from the shipowner up to a maximum of 100million Special Drawing Rights, or SDR. If the damage is caused by packaged HNS or by both bulk and packaged HNS, themaximum liability is 115 million SDR. Once the limit is reached, compensation will be paid from the HNS Fund up to amaximum of 250 million SDR. The 2010 HNS Convention has not come into effect. It will come into force eighteen monthsafter the date on which certain consent and administrative requirements are satisfied. While a majority of the necessarynumber of states has indicated their consent to be bound by the 2010 HNS Convention, the required minimum has not beenmet. We cannot estimate the costs that may be needed to comply with any such requirements that may be adopted with anycertainty at this time. Taxation The following is a discussion of the material Marshall Islands and United States federal income tax considerationsrelevant to an investment decision by a United States Holder and a Non‑United States Holder, each as defined below, withrespect to the common shares. This discussion does not purport to deal with the tax consequences of owning our commonshares to all categories of investors, some of which, such as financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estateinvestment trusts, tax‑exempt organizations, insurance companies, persons holding our common stock as part of a hedging,integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, traders in securities that have elected themark‑to‑market method of accounting for their securities, persons liable for alternative minimum tax, persons who areinvestors in partnerships or other pass‑through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, dealers in securities orcurrencies, United States Holders whose functional currency is not the United States dollar and investors that own, actually orunder applicable constructive ownership rules, 10% or more of our shares of common stock, may be subject to special rules.This discussion deals only with holders who purchase and hold the common shares as a capital asset. You are encouraged toconsult your own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own particular situation under UnitedStates federal, state, local or non‑United States law of the ownership of common shares. 14 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

We are incorporated in the MarshallIslands. Under current Marshall Islands law, we are not subject to tax on income or capital gains, and no Marshall Islandswithholding tax will be imposed upon payments of dividends by us to our shareholders as there is no reciprocal tax treatybetween the Marshall Islands and the United States. United States Federal Income Tax Considerations In the opinion of Seward & Kissel LLP, the following are the material United States federal income taxconsequences to us of our activities and to United States Holders and Non‑United States Holders, each as defined below, ofthe common shares. The following discussion of United States federal income tax matters is based on the United StatesInternal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, judicial decisions, administrative pronouncements, and existing and proposedregulations issued by the United States Department of the Treasury, or the Treasury Regulations, all of which are subject tochange, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussion below is based, in part, on the description of our business asdescribed in this report and assumes that we conduct our business as described herein. United States Federal Income Taxation of Operating Income: In General We anticipate that we will earn substantially all our income from the hiring of vessels for use on a time or spotcharter basis, including through the Helios Pool, and from the performance of services directly related to those uses, all ofwhich we refer to as "shipping income." Unless we qualify for an exemption from United States federal income taxation under the rules of Section 883 of theCode, or Section 883, as discussed below, a foreign corporation such as the Company will be subject to United States federalincome taxation on its "shipping income" that is treated as derived from sources within the United States, to which we refer as"United States source shipping income." For United States federal income tax purposes, "United States source shippingincome" includes 50% of shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not bothbegin and end, in the United States. Shipping income attributable to transportation exclusively between non‑United States ports will be considered tobe 100% derived from sources entirely outside the United States. Shipping income derived from sources outside the UnitedStates will not be subject to any United States federal income tax. Shipping income attributable to transportation exclusively between United States ports is considered to be 100%derived from United States sources. However, we are not permitted by United States law to engage in the transportation ofcargoes that produces 100% United States source shipping income. Unless we qualify for the exemption from tax under Section 883, our gross United States source shipping incomewould be subject to a 4% tax imposed without allowance for deductions as described below. Exemption of Operating Income from United States Federal Income Taxation Under Section 883 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, a foreign corporation will be exempt from UnitedStates federal income taxation of its United States source shipping income if: 1)it is organized in a "qualified foreign country" which is one that grants an "equivalent exemption" from taxto corporations organized in the United States in respect of each category of shipping income for whichexemption is being claimed under Section 883; and 15 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of Contents2)one of the following tests is met: A)more than 50% of the value of its shares is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by "qualifiedshareholders," which as defined includes individuals who are "residents" of a qualified foreigncountry, to which we refer as the "50% Ownership Test"; or B)its shares are "primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market" in a qualifiedforeign country or in the United States, to which we refer as the "Publicly‑Traded Test." The Republic of The Marshall Islands, the jurisdiction where we and our ship‑owning subsidiaries are incorporated,has been officially recognized by the United States Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, as a qualified foreign country thatgrants the requisite "equivalent exemption" from tax in respect of each category of shipping income we earn and currentlyexpect to earn in the future. Therefore, we will be exempt from United States federal income taxation with respect to ourUnited States source shipping income if we satisfy either the 50% Ownership Test or the Publicly‑Traded Test. We believe that we satisfy the Publicly‑Traded Test, a factual determination made on an annual basis, with respectto our taxable year ended March 31, 2016, and we expect to continue to do so for our subsequent taxable years, and weintend to take this position for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes. We do not currently anticipate circumstancesunder which we would be able to satisfy the 50% Ownership Test. Publicly‑Traded Test The Treasury Regulations under Section 883 provide, in pertinent part, that shares of a foreign corporation will beconsidered to be "primarily traded" on an established securities market in a country if the number of shares of each class ofstock that are traded during any taxable year on all established securities markets in that country exceeds the number ofshares in each such class that are traded during that year on established securities markets in any other single country. TheCompany's common shares, which constitute its sole class of issued and outstanding stock is "primarily traded" on the NewYork Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, an established securities market for these purposes. Under the Treasury Regulations, our common shares will be considered to be "regularly traded" on an establishedsecurities market if one or more classes of our shares representing more than 50% of our outstanding stock, by both totalcombined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote and total value, are listed on such market, to which we refer asthe "listing threshold." Since all of our common shares are listed on the NYSE, we expect to satisfy the listing threshold. The Treasury Regulations also require that with respect to each class of stock relied upon to meet the listingthreshold, (i) such class of stock traded on the market, other than in minimal quantities, on at least 60 days during the taxableyear or one‑sixth of the days in a short taxable year, which we refer to as the "trading frequency test"; and (ii) the aggregatenumber of shares of such class of stock traded on such market during the taxable year must be at least 10% of the averagenumber of shares of such class of stock outstanding during such year or as appropriately adjusted in the case of a shorttaxable year, which we refer to as the "trading volume" test. We anticipate that we will satisfy the trading frequency andtrading volume tests. Even if this were not the case, the Treasury Regulations provide that the trading frequency and tradingvolume tests will be deemed satisfied if, as is expected to be the case with our common shares, such class of stock is traded onan established securities market in the United States and such shares are regularly quoted by dealers making a market in suchshares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Treasury Regulations provide, in pertinent part, that a class of shares will not beconsidered to be "regularly traded" on an established securities market for any taxable year in which 50% or more of the voteand value of the outstanding shares of such class are owned on more than half the days during the taxable year by personswho each own 5% or more of the vote and value of such class of outstanding stock, to which we refer as the "5% OverrideRule." For purposes of being able to determine the persons who actually or constructively own 5% or more of the vote andvalue of our common shares, or "5% Shareholders," the Treasury Regulations permit us to rely on those persons that16 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of Contentsare identified on Schedule 13G and Schedule 13D filings with the Commission, as owning 5% or more of our common shares.The Treasury Regulations further provide that an investment company which is registered under the Investment CompanyAct of 1940, as amended, will not be treated as a 5% Shareholder for such purposes. In the event the 5% Override Rule is triggered, the Treasury Regulations provide that the 5% Override Rule willnevertheless not apply if we can establish that within the group of 5% Shareholders, qualified shareholders (as defined forpurposes of Section 883) own sufficient number of shares to preclude non‑qualified shareholders in such group from owning50% or more of our common shares for more than half the number of days during the taxable year. We believe that we satisfy the Publicly‑Traded Test and will not be subject to the 5% Override Rule for taxableyear ending March 31, 2016 and we also expect to continue to do so for our subsequent taxable years. However, there arefactual circumstances beyond our control that could cause us to lose the benefit of the Section 883 exemption. For example,we may no longer qualify for Section 883 exemption for a particular taxable year if 5% Shareholders were to own, in theaggregate, 50% or more of our outstanding common shares on more than half the days of the taxable year, unless we couldestablish that within the group of 5% Shareholders, qualified shareholders own sufficient number of our shares to precludethe non-qualified shareholders in such group from owning 50% or more of our common shares for more than half the numberof days during the taxable year. Under the Treasury Regulations, we would have to satisfy certain substantiationrequirements regarding the identity of our shareholders. These requirements are onerous and there is no assurance that wewould be able to satisfy them. Given the factual nature of the issues involved, we can give no assurances in regards of our orour subsidiaries' qualification for the Section 883 exemption. Taxation in Absence of Section 883 Exemption If the benefits of Section 883 are unavailable, our United States source shipping income would be subject to a 4%tax imposed by Section 887 of the Code on a gross basis, without the benefit of deductions, or the "4% gross basis taxregime," to the extent that such income is not considered to be "effectively connected" with the conduct of a United Statestrade or business, as described below. Since under the sourcing rules described above, no more than 50% of our shippingincome would be treated as being United States source shipping income, the maximum effective rate of United States federalincome tax on our shipping income would never exceed 2% under the 4% gross basis tax regime. To the extent our United States source shipping income is considered to be "effectively connected" with the conductof a United States trade or business, as described below, any such "effectively connected" United States source shippingincome, net of applicable deductions, would be subject to United States federal income tax, currently imposed at rates of upto 35%. In addition, we would generally be subject to the 30% "branch profits" tax on earnings effectively connected withthe conduct of such trade or business, as determined after allowance for certain adjustments, and on certain interest paid ordeemed paid attributable to the conduct of our United States trade or business. Our United States source shipping income would be considered "effectively connected" with the conduct of aUnited States trade or business only if: ·we have, or are considered to have, a fixed place of business in the United States involved in the earning ofUnited States source shipping income; and ·substantially all of our United States source shipping income is attributable to regularly scheduledtransportation, such as the operation of a vessel that follows a published schedule with repeated sailings atregular intervals between the same points for voyages that begin or end in the United States. We do not intend to have, or permit circumstances that would result in having, any vessel sailing to or from theUnited States on a regularly scheduled basis. Based on the foregoing and on the expected mode of our shipping operationsand other activities, it is anticipated that none of our United States source shipping income will be "effectively connected"with the conduct of a United States trade or business. 17 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

In general, a sale of a vessel will be considered to occur outside of the United States forthis purpose if title to the vessel, and risk of loss with respect to the vessel, pass to the buyer outside of the United States. It isexpected that any sale of a vessel by us will be considered to occur outside of the United States. United States Federal Income Taxation of United States Holders As used herein, the term "United States Holder" means a holder that for U.S. federal income tax purposes is abeneficial owner of common shares and is an individual United States citizen or resident, a United States corporation or otherUnited States entity taxable as a corporation, an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal incometaxation regardless of its source, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over theadministration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of thetrust. If a partnership holds the common shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of thepartner and upon the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership holding the common shares, you areencouraged to consult your tax advisor. Distributions Subject to the discussion of passive foreign investment companies below, any distributions made by us with respectto our common shares to a United States Holder will generally constitute dividends to the extent of our current oraccumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess ofsuch earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the United States Holder's taxbasis in its common shares and thereafter as capital gain. Because we are not a United States corporation, United StatesHolders that are corporations will not be entitled to claim a dividends received deduction with respect to any distributionsthey receive from us. Dividends paid with respect to our common shares will generally be treated as foreign source dividendincome and will generally constitute "passive category income" for purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits forUnited States foreign tax credit purposes. Dividends paid on our common shares to certain non‑corporate United States Holders will generally be treated as"qualified dividend income" that is taxable to such United States Holders at preferential tax rates provided that (1) thecommon shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States (such as the NYSE, on which ourcommon shares will be traded), (2) the shareholder has owned the common stock for more than 60 days in the 121‑day periodbeginning 60 days before the date on which the common stock becomes ex‑dividend, and (3) we are not a passive foreigninvestment company for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year. There is no assurance that any dividends paid on our common shares will be eligible for these preferential rates inthe hands of such non‑corporate United States Holders, although, as described above, we expect such dividends to be soeligible provided an eligible non‑corporate United States Holder meets all applicable requirements and we are not a passiveforeign passive investment company in the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately precedingtaxable year. Any dividends paid by us which are not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to anon‑corporate United States Holder. Special rules may apply to any "extraordinary dividend"—generally, a dividend in an amount which is equal to orin excess of 10% of a shareholder's adjusted tax basis in a common share—paid by us. If we pay an "extraordinary dividend"on our common shares that is treated as "qualified dividend income," then any loss derived by certain non‑corporate UnitedStates Holders from the sale or exchange of such common shares will be treated as long term capital loss to the extent of suchdividend.18 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of Contents Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Shares Assuming we do not constitute a passive foreign investment company for any taxable year, a United States Holdergenerally will recognize taxable gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares in an amountequal to the difference between the amount realized by the United States Holder from such sale, exchange or otherdisposition and the United States Holder's tax basis in such shares. Such gain or loss will be treated as long‑term capital gainor loss if the United States Holder's holding period is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or otherdisposition. Such capital gain or loss will generally be treated as United States source income or loss, as applicable, forUnited States foreign tax credit purposes. Long‑term capital gains of certain non‑corporate United States Holders arecurrently eligible for reduced rates of taxation. A United States Holder's ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certainlimitations. Passive Foreign Investment Company Status and Significant Tax Consequences Special United States federal income tax rules apply to a United States Holder that holds shares in a foreigncorporation classified as a "passive foreign investment company," or a PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes. Ingeneral, we will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a United States Holder if, for any taxable year in which such holder holdsour common shares, either ·at least 75% of our gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest,capital gains and rents derived other than in the active conduct of a rental business); or ·at least 50% of the average value of our assets during such taxable year produce, or are held for the productionof, passive income. For purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, we will be treated as earning and owning our proportionateshare of the income and assets, respectively, of any of our ship‑owning subsidiaries in which we own at least 25% of thevalue of the subsidiary's stock. Income earned, or deemed earned, by us in connection with the performance of services wouldnot constitute passive income. By contrast, rental income would generally constitute "passive income" unless we were treatedunder specific rules as deriving our rental income in the active conduct of a trade or business. We believe that income we earn from the voyage charters, and also from time charters, for the reasons discussedbelow, of our Initial Fleet during our initial taxable year ended March 31, 2014 and our taxable year ended March 31, 2015,will be treated as active income for PFIC purposes and as a result, we intend to take the position that we satisfy the first leg ofthe PFIC criteria, the 75% income test, for our initial taxable year ended March 31, 2014, and the taxable year ended March31, 2015. Whether we were a PFIC for our initial taxable year ended March 31, 2014, and our taxable year ended March 31,2015, will depend, in part, upon whether our newbuilding contracts and the deposits made thereon are treated as assets heldfor the production of passive income and the level of cash held on hand during each of these taxable years. In making suchdetermination, we intend to take the position that the newbuilding contracts and the deposits thereon are assets held for theproduction of active income on the basis that we expect to either time or voyage charter all vessels upon their completionand delivery under the newbuilding contracts. However, there is no direct authority on this point and it is possible that theIRS may disagree with our position. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have taken delivery of all of the vessels under our newbuilding contracts.Accordingly, based on our current and anticipated operations, we do not believe that we will be a PFIC for our taxable yearended March 31, 2016, or subsequent taxable years, and we intend to take such position for our U.S. federal income taxreporting purposes. Our belief is based principally on the position that the gross income we derive from our voyage or timechartering activities should constitute services income, rather than rental income. Accordingly, such income should notconstitute passive income, and the assets that we own and operate in connection with the production of such income, inparticular, the vessels, should not constitute passive assets for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC. There issubstantial legal authority supporting this position consisting of case law and IRS pronouncements concerning the19 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

However, there is alsoauthority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes.Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept this position, and there is a risk that the IRSor a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC. In addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner toavoid being classified as a PFIC with respect to any taxable year, we cannot assure you that the nature of our operations willnot change in the future. As discussed more fully below, for any taxable year in which we are, or were to be treated as, a PFIC, a United StatesHolder would be subject to different taxation rules depending on whether the United States Holder makes an election to treatus as a "Qualified Electing Fund," which election we refer to as a "QEF election." As an alternative to making a QEF election,a United States Holder should be able to make a "mark‑to‑market" election with respect to our common shares, as discussedbelow. A United States holder of shares in a PFIC will be required to file an annual information return containing informationregarding the PFIC as required by applicable Treasury Regulations. We intend to promptly notify our shareholders if wedetermine we are a PFIC for any taxable year. Taxation of United States Holders Making a Timely QEF Election If a United States Holder makes a timely QEF election, which United States Holder we refer to as an "ElectingHolder," the Electing Holder must report for United States federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of our ordinaryearnings and net capital gain, if any, for each of our taxable years during which we are a PFIC that ends with or within thetaxable year of the Electing Holder, regardless of whether distributions were received from us by the Electing Holder. Noportion of any such inclusions of ordinary earnings will be treated as "qualified dividend income." Net capital gaininclusions of certain non‑corporate United States Holders would be eligible for preferential capital gains tax rates. TheElecting Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares will be increased to reflect any income included under the QEFelection. Distributions of previously taxed income will not be subject to tax upon distribution but will decrease the ElectingHolder's tax basis in the common shares. An Electing Holder would not, however, be entitled to a deduction for its pro ratashare of any losses that we incur with respect to any taxable year. An Electing Holder would generally recognize capital gainor loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares. A United States Holder would make a timely QEFelection for our common shares by filing one copy of IRS Form 8621 with his United States federal income tax return for thefirst year in which he held such shares when we were a PFIC. If we take the position that we are not a PFIC for any taxableyear, and it is later determined that we were a PFIC for such taxable year, it may be possible for a United States Holder tomake a retroactive QEF election effective for such year. If we were to be treated as a PFIC for our initial taxable year 2014 andour taxable year 2015, we anticipate that, based on our current projections, we would not generate significant amounts oftaxable income or gain that would be required to be included in income for each such year by United States Holders whohave QEF elections in effect for such year. If we determine that we are a PFIC for any taxable year, we will provide eachUnited States Holder with all necessary information required for the United States Holder to make the QEF election and toreport its pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and net capital gain, if any, for each of our taxable years during which we area PFIC that ends with or within the taxable year of the Electing Holder as described above. Taxation of United States Holders Making a "Mark‑to‑Market" Election Alternatively, for any taxable year in which we determine that we are a PFIC, and, assuming as we anticipate will bethe case, our shares are treated as "marketable stock," a United States Holder would be allowed to make a "mark‑to‑market"election with respect to our common shares, provided the United States Holder completes and files IRS Form 8621 inaccordance with the relevant instructions and related Treasury Regulations. If that election is made, the United States Holdergenerally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the commonshares at the end of the taxable year over such Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common shares.

Taxation of United States Holders Not Making a Timely QEF or Mark‑ to‑Market Election For any taxable year in which we determine that we are a PFIC, a United States Holder who does not make either aQEF election or a "mark‑to‑market" election for that year, whom we refer to as a "Non‑Electing Holder," would be subject tospecial rules with respect to (i) any excess distribution (i.e., the portion of any distributions received by the Non‑ElectingHolder on the common shares in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by theNon‑Electing Holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the Non‑Electing Holder's holding period for thecommon shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares. Under thesespecial rules: ·the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non‑Electing Holder's aggregate holding periodfor the common shares; ·the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which wewere a PFIC, would be taxed as ordinary income and would not be "qualified dividend income"; and ·the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect forthe applicable class of taxpayer for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed tax deferral benefit would beimposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year. United States Federal Income Taxation of "Non‑‑United States Holders" As used herein, the term "Non‑United States Holder" means a holder that, for United States federal income taxpurposes, is a beneficial owner of common shares (other than a partnership) that is not a United States Holder. If a partnership holds our common shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of thepartner and upon the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership holding our common shares, you areencouraged to consult your tax advisor. Dividends on Common Shares A Non‑United States Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax ondividends received from us with respect to our common shares, unless: ·the dividend income is effectively connected with the Non‑United States Holder's conduct of a trade or business inthe United States; or ·the Non‑United States Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during thetaxable year of receipt of the dividend income and other conditions are met. Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Shares A Non‑United States Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax on anygain realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares, unless: ·the gain is effectively connected with the Non‑United States Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the UnitedStates; or 21 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Income or Gains Effectively Connected with a United States Trade or Business If the Non‑United States Holder is engaged in a United States trade or business for United States federal income taxpurposes, dividends on our common shares and gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares, thatare effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, isattributable to a United States permanent establishment), will generally be subject to regular United States federal income taxin the same manner as discussed in the previous section relating to the taxation of United States Holders. In addition, in thecase of a corporate Non‑United States Holder, its earnings and profits that are attributable to the effectively connectedincome, which are subject to certain adjustments, may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or at alower rate as may be specified by an applicable United States income tax treaty. Backup Withholding and Information Reporting In general, dividend payments, or other taxable distributions, and the payment of the gross proceeds on a sale of ourcommon shares, made within the United States to a non‑corporate United States Holder will be subject to informationreporting. Such payments or distributions may also be subject to backup withholding if the non‑corporate United StatesHolder: ·fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number; ·is notified by the IRS that it has have failed to report all interest or dividends required to be shown on its federalincome tax returns; or ·in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements. Non‑United States Holders may be required to establish their exemption from information reporting and backupwithholding with respect to dividends payments or other taxable distribution on our common shares by certifying their statuson an appropriate IRS Form W‑8. If a Non‑United States Holder sells our common shares to or through a United States officeof a broker, the payment of the proceeds is subject to both United States backup withholding and information reportingunless the Non‑United States Holder certifies that it is a non‑United States person, under penalties of perjury, or it otherwiseestablish an exemption. If a Non‑ United States Holder sells our common shares through a non‑United States office of anon‑United States broker and the sales proceeds are paid outside the United States, then information reporting and backupwithholding generally will not apply to that payment. However, United States information reporting requirements, but notbackup withholding, will apply to a payment of sales proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the United States, if aNon‑ United States Holder sells our common shares through a non‑United States office of a broker that is a United Statesperson or has some other contacts with the United States. Such information reporting requirements will not apply, however, ifthe broker has documentary evidence in its records that the Non‑United States Holder is not a United States person andcertain other conditions are met, or the Non‑United States Holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, a refund may generally be obtained of any amounts withheldunder backup withholding rules that exceed the taxpayer's United States federal income tax liability by filing a timely refundclaim with the IRS. Individuals who are United States Holders (and to the extent specified in applicable Treasury regulations,Non‑United States Holders and certain United States entities) who hold "specified foreign financial assets" (as defined inSection 6038D of the Code) are required to file IRS Form 8938 with information relating to the asset for each taxable year inwhich the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds $75,000 at any time during the taxable year or $50,000 on the last dayof the taxable year (or such higher dollar amount as prescribed by applicable Treasury Regulations).

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS The following risks relate principally to us and our business and the industry in which we operate. Other risksrelate principally to the securities markets and ownership of our common shares. Any of the risk factors described belowcould significantly and negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to paydividends, and lower the trading price of our common shares. You may lose part or all of your investment. Risks Relating to Our Company We and the Helios Pool operate exclusively in the LPG shipping industry. Due to our lack of diversification and the lack ofdiversification of the Helios Pool, adverse developments in the LPG shipping industry may adversely affect our business,financial condition and operating results. We currently rely exclusively on the cash flow generated from the vessels in our fleet, all of which are VLGCsoperating in the LPG shipping industry (including through the Helios Pool). Unlike some other shipping companies, whichhave vessels of varying sizes that can carry different cargoes, such as containers, dry bulk, crude oil and oil products, weexpect to depend exclusively on VLGCs transporting LPG. Similarly, the Helios Pool also depends exclusively on the cashflow generated from VLGCs operating in the LPG shipping industry. Our lack of diversification and the lack ofdiversification of the Helios Pool make us vulnerable to adverse developments in the LPG shipping industry, which wouldhave a significantly greater impact on our business, financial condition and operating results than it would if we or the HeliosPool owned and operated more diverse assets or engaged in more diverse lines of business. We and/or our pool managers may not be able to successfully secure employment for our vessels or vessels in the HeliosPool, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. As of May 26, 2016, including through the Helios Pool, sixteen of our vessels are operating in the spot market andsix of our vessels are on time charters that expire between the third calendar quarter of 2016 and the fourth calendar quarter of2020. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in finding employment for our vessels in the spot market, on timecharters or otherwise, or that any employment will be at profitable rates. Moreover, as vessels entered into the Helios Pool arecommercially managed by our wholly-owned subsidiary and Phoenix, we also cannot assure you that we or they will besuccessful in finding employment for the vessels in the Helios Pool or that any employment will be23 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

An inability to locate suitable employment for our vessels or the vessels in the Helios Pool could affect ourgeneral financial condition, results of operation and cash flow as well as the availability of financing. Furthermore, the Helios Pool will time charter-in certain VLGCs from Oriental Energy at a fixed time charter hirerate, which will be due regardless of whether we and Phoenix are able to locate suitable employment for the vessels in theHelios Pool. As a result of these fixed expenses, there is an increased risk that an inability to locate suitable employment forthe vessels in the Helios Pool could affect our general financial condition, results of operation and cash flow. We will face substantial competition in trying to expand relationships with existing customers and obtain new customers. The process of obtaining new charter agreements is highly competitive and generally involves an intensivescreening process and competitive bidding process, which, in certain cases, extends for several months. Contracts areawarded based upon a variety of factors, including: ·the location, size, age, and condition of a vessel; ·the operator's industry relationships, experience and reputation for customer service, quality operations andsafety; ·the quality, experience and technical capability of the crew; ·the experience of the crew with the operator and type of vessel; ·the operator's relationships with shipyards and the ability to get suitable berths; ·the operator's construction management experience, including the ability to obtain on‑time delivery of newvessels according to customer specifications; ·the operator's willingness to accept operational risks pursuant to the charter, such as allowing termination ofthe charter for force majeure events; and ·the competitiveness of the bid in terms of overall price. Our vessels, and the vessels operating in the Helios Pool, operate in a highly competitive market and we expectsubstantial competition for providing transportation services from a number of companies (both LPG vessel owners andoperators). We anticipate that an increasing number of maritime transport companies, including many with strong reputationsand extensive resources and experience, will enter the LPG shipping market. Our existing and potential competitors mayhave significantly greater financial resources than us. In addition, competitors with greater resources may have larger fleets,or could operate larger fleets through consolidations, acquisitions, newbuildings or pooling of their vessels with othercompanies, and, therefore, may be able to offer a more competitive service than us or the Helios Pool, including better charterrates. We expect competition from a number of experienced companies providing contracts for gas transportation services topotential LPG customers, including state-sponsored entities and major energy companies affiliated with the projectsrequiring shipping services. As a result, we (including the Helios Pool) may be unable to expand our relationships withexisting customers or to obtain new customers on a profitable basis, if at all, which would have a material adverse effect onour business, financial condition and operating results. We and the Helios Pool are exposed to fluctuations in spot market charter rates, including as a result of seasonalfluctuations, which may adversely affect our earnings. As of the date of this annual report, sixteen of our twenty-two vessels operate in the spot market through the HeliosPool. This exposes us to fluctuations in spot market charter rates. We also employ six of our VLGCs (including through theHelios Pool) on time charters. As these time charters expire, we may employ these vessels in the spot market. The spot chartermarket can fluctuate significantly based upon the supply of and demand for LPG carriers. In the recent past, there have beenperiods when spot charter rates have declined below the operating costs of vessels. If future spot24 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

In addition, VLGC spot market rates are highly seasonal, with typical strength in the second and third calendarquarters as suppliers build inventory for high consumption during the northern hemisphere winter. The successful operationof our vessels in the competitive and highly volatile spot charter market depends on, among other things, obtainingprofitable spot charters, which depends greatly on vessel supply and demand, and minimizing, to the extent possible, timespent waiting for charters and time spent traveling unladen to pick up cargo. Although our six time charters generally provide reliable revenues, they also limit the portion of our fleet availablefor spot market voyages during an upswing in the market when spot market voyages might be more profitable. Conversely,when the current charters for the six vessels in our fleet on time charter expire (or are terminated early), it may not be possibleto re-charter these vessels at similar or higher rates, or at all. As a result, we may have to accept lower rates or experience offhire time for our vessels, which would adversely impact our revenues, results of operations and financial condition. We and the Helios Pool are subject to risks with respect to counterparties, and failure of such counterparties to meet theirobligations could cause us to suffer losses or negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows. We have entered into, and expect to enter into in the future, various contracts, including charter agreements, andcontracts of affreightment, shipbuilding contracts and credit facilities that subject us to counterparty risks. Similarly, theHelios Pool has entered into, and expects to enter into in the future, various contracts, including charters and contracts ofaffreightment, that subject it to counterparty risks. The ability and willingness of our and the Helios Pool’s counterparties toperform their obligations under any contract 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 maritime and LPG industries, the overall financialcondition of the counterparty, charter rates for specific types of vessels, and various expenses. For example, a reduction ofcash flow resulting from declines in world trade or the lack of availability of debt or equity financing may result in asignificant reduction in the ability of our charterers or the Helios Pool’s charterers to make required charter payments. Inaddition, in depressed market conditions, charterers and customers may no longer need a vessel that is then under charter orcontract or may be able to obtain a comparable vessel at lower rates. As a result, charterers and customers may seek torenegotiate the terms of their existing charter agreements or avoid their obligations under those contracts. Should acounterparty fail to honor its obligations under agreements with us or the Helios Pool, we could sustain significant losses anda significant reduction in the charter hire we earn from the Helios Pool, which could have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We expect to be dependent on a limited number of customers for a material part of our revenues, and failure of suchcustomers to meet their obligations could cause us to suffer losses or negatively impact our results of operations and cashflows. For the year ended March 31, 2016, the Helios Pool and one other individual charterer accounted for 70% and 12%of our total revenues, respectively. Within the Helios Pool, two charterers represented 19% and 14% of net pool revenues—related party for the year ended March 31, 2016. We expect that a material portion of our revenues will continue to bederived from these customers. The ability of each of our customers to perform its obligations under a contract with us willdepend on a number of factors that are beyond our control. Should the aforementioned customers fail to honor theirobligations under agreements with us, we could sustain material losses that could have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our indebtedness may adversely affect our operational flexibility and financial condition. As of March 31, 2016 we had outstanding indebtedness of $836.4 million. Amounts owed under our current creditfacilities and any future credit facilities will require us to dedicate a part of our cash flow from operations to paying interestand principal payments. These payments will limit funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions,dividends, and other purposes and may also limit our ability to undertake further equity or debt financing in the future. Ourindebtedness also increases our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limits our25 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Increases in prevailing rates could increase the amounts that we would have to pay to our lenders orfinancing counterparties, even though the outstanding principal amount remains the same, and our net income and availablecash flows would decrease as a result.We expect our earnings and cash flow to vary from year to year due to the cyclical nature of the LPG shippingindustry. If we do not generate or reserve enough cash flow from operations to satisfy our financing obligations, we may haveto undertake alternative financing plans, such as:·seeking to raise additional capital;·refinancing or restructuring our debt or financing obligations;·selling LPG tankers; and/or·reducing or delaying capital investments.However, these alternative financing plans, if necessary, may not be sufficient to allow us to meet our debtobligations. If we are unable to meet our debt obligations and we default on our obligations under our debt agreements, ourlenders could elect to declare our outstanding borrowings and certain other or amounts owed, together with accrued interestand fees, to be immediately due and payable and foreclose on the vessels securing that debt. Our existing and future debt agreements contain and are expected to contain restrictive covenants that may limit ourliquidity and corporate activities, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our debt agreements contain, and any future financing arrangements are expected to contain, customary covenantsand event of default clauses, including cross‑default provisions and restrictive covenants and performance requirements,which may affect operational and financial flexibility. Such restrictions could affect, and in many respects limit or prohibit,among other things, our ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, or engage in mergersor acquisitions. These restrictions could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions or meet extraordinarycapital needs or otherwise restrict corporate activities. There can be no assurance that such restrictions will not adverselyaffect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs. Our agreements relating to the 2015 Debt Facility, which is secured by, among other things, eighteen of our VLGCs,and our term loan facility with the Royal Bank of Scotland, or the RBS Loan Facility, which is secured by, among otherthings, four of our VLGCs, require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy financial covenants. In addition, under the 2015 Debt Facility, our payment of dividends to shareholders as well as our subsidiary’spayment of dividends to us is subject to no event of default. Similarly, under the RBS Loan Facility, our payment ofdividends to our shareholders is subject to no event of default and our subsidiaries which are party to the facility areprohibited from paying dividends to us without the consent of the lender. As of March 31, 2016, we are in compliance with our loan covenants. As a result of the restrictions in our debt agreements, or similar restrictions in our future financing arrangements, wemay need to seek permission from our lenders in order to engage in some corporate actions. Our lenders' interests may bedifferent from ours and we may not be able to obtain their permission when needed. This may prevent us from taking actionsthat we believe are in our best interest which may adversely impact our revenues, results of operations and financialcondition. 26 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsA failure by us to meet our payment and other obligations, including our financial and value to loan covenants,could lead to defaults under our secured loan agreements. In addition, a default under one of our credit facilities could resultin the cross-acceleration of our other indebtedness. Our lenders could then accelerate our indebtedness and foreclose on ourfleet. The market values of our vessels may decrease, which could cause us to breach covenants in our loan agreements or recordan impairment or loss, or negatively impact our ability to enter into future financing arrangements, and as a result couldhave a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our existing debt agreements, which are secured by, among other things, liens on the vessels in our fleet containvarious financial covenants, including requirements that relate to our financial condition, operating performance andliquidity. For example, we are required to maintain a minimum debt to adjusted equity ratio that is based, in part, upon themarket value of the vessels securing the applicable loan, as well as a minimum ratio of the market value of the vesselssecuring a loan to the principal amount outstanding under such loan. The market value of LPG carriers, is sensitive to, amongother things, changes in the LPG carrier charter markets, with vessel values deteriorating in times when LPG carrier charterrates are falling and improving when charter rates are anticipated to rise. While the market values of LPG carriers generallyhave increased since the economic slowdown in 2008-2009, they still remain below the historic high levels from prior to theeconomic slowdown. LPG vessel values remain subject to significant fluctuation. A decline in the fair market values of ourvessels could result in our not being in compliance with these loan covenants. Furthermore, if the value of our vesselsdeteriorates and our estimated future cash flows decrease, we may have to record an impairment adjustment in our financialstatements or we may be unable to enter into future financing arrangements acceptable to us or at all, which would adverselyaffect our financial results and further hinder our ability to raise capital. If we are unable to comply with any of the restrictions and covenants in our debt agreements, or in current or futuredebt financing agreements, and we are unable to obtain a waiver or amendment from our lenders for such noncompliance, adefault could occur under the terms of those agreements. Our ability to comply with these restrictions and covenants,including meeting financial ratios and tests, is dependent on our future performance and may be affected by events beyondour control. If a default occurs under these agreements, lenders could terminate their commitments to lend or in somecircumstances accelerate the outstanding loans and declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Our vessels serve assecurity under our debt agreements. If our lenders were to foreclose their liens on our vessels in the event of a default, thismay impair our ability to continue our operations. In addition, our debt agreements contain cross-default provisions,meaning that if we are in default under one of our debt agreements, amounts outstanding under our other debt agreementsmay also be in default, accelerated and become due and payable. If any of these events occur, we cannot guarantee that ourassets will be sufficient to repay in full all of our outstanding indebtedness, and we may be unable to find alternativefinancing. Even if we could obtain alternative financing, that financing might not be on terms that are favorable oracceptable to us. In addition, if we find it necessary to sell our vessels at a time when vessel prices are low, we will recognizelosses and a reduction in our earnings, which could affect our ability to raise additional capital necessary for us to complywith our debt agreements. We are exposed to volatility in the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, and we have and we intend to selectivelyenter into derivative contracts, which can result in higher than market interest rates and charges against our income. The amounts outstanding under our existing credit facilities have been advanced at a floating rate based on LIBOR,which has recently been stable, but was volatile in prior years, and changes in LIBOR could affect the amount of interestpayable on our debt, and, in turn, could have an adverse effect on our earnings and cash flow. In recent years, LIBOR hasbeen at relatively low levels, but it may rise in the future as the current low interest rate environment comes to an end. Ourfinancial condition could be materially adversely affected if LIBOR rises, as $271.5 million of our floating rate borrowingsare unhedged as of March 31, 2016. We have entered into and may selectively in the future enter into derivative contracts to hedge our overall exposureto interest rate risk exposure related to our credit facilities. Entering into swaps and derivatives transactions is inherentlyrisky and presents various possibilities for incurring significant expenses. The derivatives strategies that we employ currentlyand in the future may not be successful or effective, and we could, as a result, incur substantial additional interest costs orlosses.27 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

From time to time, we may take hedging or speculative positions in derivative instruments, including freightforward agreements, or FFAs. Upon settlement, if an FFA contracted charter rate is less than the average of the rates, asreported by an identified index, for the specified route and period, the seller of the FFA is required to pay the buyer anamount equal to the difference between the contracted rate and the settlement rate, multiplied by the number of days in thespecified period. Conversely, if the contracted rate is greater than the settlement rate, the buyer is required to pay the sellerthe settlement sum. If we take positions in FFAs or other derivative instruments and do not correctly anticipate charter ratemovements over the specified route and time period, we could suffer losses in the settling or termination of the FFA. Thiscould adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows. Because we generate all of our revenues in U.S. dollars but incur a portion of our expenses in other currencies, exchangerate fluctuations could adversely affect our results of operations. We generate all of our revenues in U.S. dollars and the majority of our expenses are also in U.S. dollars. However, aportion of our overall expenses is incurred in other currencies, particularly the Euro, British Pound Sterling, the JapaneseYen, Norwegian Krone and the Singapore Dollar. Changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the other currencies, inparticular the Euro, or the amount of expenses we incur in other currencies could cause fluctuations in our net income. Our ECO VLGCs have a limited operational history and inconsistencies in their performance, the failure of such vessels toachieve the level of fuel savings or other cost savings we anticipate could, or any initial operational difficulties with suchvessels could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We cannot assure you that our ECO VLGCs will perform in accordance with our expectations. Our ECO VLGCs arebased on innovative new ECO designs, which have only limited operational history, thus exposing us to potentialuncertainties. Our ECO VLGCs incorporate many technological improvements related to their Eco-design, such as moreefficient hull forms matched with more efficient propellers and decreased water resistance, which optimize speed and fuelconsumption and reduce emissions. While we expect these Eco-design vessels to achieve fuel savings and other cost savingsover non-Eco-design vessels, increasing demand for these vessels, there is no assurance they will actually achieve the level ofsavings over non Eco-design vessels that we anticipate. If they do not achieve the benefits we anticipate or have otheroperational difficulties, competition from other vessels without these technological improvements, which generally havelower charter rates, could adversely affect the rates at which we can charter our ECO VLGCs, which may result in a materialadverse effect on our results of operations. If we fail to manage our growth properly, we may not be able to successfully expand our fleet and may incur significantexpenses and losses. As and when market conditions permit, we intend to continue to prudently grow our fleet over the long term, inaddition to the nineteen ECO VLGCs that were delivered between July 2014 and February 2016. Acquisition opportunitiesmay arise from time to time, and any such acquisition could be significant. Successfully consummating and integratingacquisitions will depend on: ·locating and acquiring suitable vessels at a suitable price; ·identifying and completing acquisitions or joint ventures; ·integrating any acquired LPG carriers or businesses successfully with our existing operations; ·hiring, training and retaining qualified personnel and crew to manage and operate our growing business andfleet; ·expanding our customer base; and ·obtaining required financing.28 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Anyacquisition could involve the payment by us of a substantial amount of cash, the incurrence of a substantial amount of debtor the issuance of a substantial amount of equity. In addition, we may not be able to obtain acceptable terms for the requiredfinancing for any such acquisition or investment that arises. Growing a business by acquisition presents numerous risks such as undisclosed liabilities and obligations, difficultyin obtaining additional qualified personnel, managing relationships with customers and suppliers and integrating newlyacquired vessels into existing infrastructures. Moreover, acquiring any business is subject to risks related to incorrectassumptions regarding the future results of acquired operations or assets or expected cost reductions or other synergiesexpected to be realized as a result of acquiring operations or assets. Additionally, the expansion of our fleet may impose significant additional responsibilities on our management andstaff, including the management and staff of our in-house commercial and technical managers, and may necessitate that weincrease the number of personnel. Further, there is the risk that we may fail to successfully and timely integrate the operationsor management of any acquired businesses or assets and the risk of diverting management's attention from existingoperations or other priorities. If we fail to consummate and integrate our acquisitions in a timely and cost‑effective manner,our financial condition, results of operations and ability to pay dividends, if any, to our shareholders could be adverselyaffected. Moreover, we cannot predict the effect, if any, that any announcement or consummation of an acquisition wouldhave on the trading price of our common shares. An inability to effectively time investments in and divestments of vessels could prevent the implementation of ourbusiness strategy and negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.Our strategy is to own and operate a fleet large enough to provide global coverage, but no larger than what thedemand for our services can support over a longer period by both contracting newbuildings and through acquisitions anddivestitures in the second-hand market. Our business is greatly influenced by the timing of investments and/or divestmentsand contracting of newbuildings. If we are unable able to identify the optimal timing of such investments, divestments orcontracting of newbuildings in relation to the shipping value cycle due to capital restraints, this could have a materialadverse effect on our competitive position, future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position. As our fleet grows in size, we may need to improve our operations and financial systems and recruit additional staff andcrew; if we cannot improve these systems or recruit suitable employees, our business and results of operations may beadversely affected. As and when market conditions permit, we intend to continue to prudently grow our fleet over the long term, and asa consequence of this, we may have to invest in upgrading our operating and financial systems. In addition, we may have torecruit well‑qualified seafarers and shoreside administrative and management personnel. We may not be able to hire suitableemployees to the extent we continue to expand our fleet. Our vessels require technically skilled staff with specializedtraining. If our crewing agents are unable to employ such technically skilled staff, they may not be able to adequately staffour vessels. If we are unable to operate our financial and operations systems effectively or we are unable to recruit suitableemployees as we expand our fleet, our results of operation and our ability to expand our fleet may be adversely affected. We may be unable to attract and retain key management personnel and other employees in the shipping industry withoutincurring substantial expense as a result of rising crew costs, which may negatively affect the effectiveness of ourmanagement and our results of operations. The successful development and performance of our business depends on our ability to attract and retain skilledprofessionals with appropriate experience and expertise. Any loss of the services of any of the senior management or keypersonnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. 29 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsAdditionally, obtaining voyage and time charters with leading industry participants depends on a number of factors,including the ability to man vessels with suitably experienced, high-quality masters, officers and crew. In recent years, thelimited supply of and increased demand for well-qualified crew has created upward pressure on crewing costs, which wegenerally bear under our time and spot charters. Increases in crew costs may adversely affect our profitability. In addition, ifwe cannot retain sufficient numbers of quality on-board seafaring personnel, our fleet utilization will decrease, which couldhave a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Our directors and officers may in the future hold direct or indirect interests in companies that compete with us. Our directors and officers each have a history of involvement in the shipping industry and may, in the future,directly or indirectly, hold investments in companies that compete with us. In that case, they may face conflicts between theirown interests and their obligations to us. We cannot provide assurance that our directors and officers will not be influenced by their interests in or affiliationwith other shipping companies, or our competitors, and seek to cause us to take courses of action that might involve risks toour other shareholders or adversely affect us or our shareholders. Our business and operations involve inherent operating risks, and our insurance and indemnities from our customers maynot be adequate to cover potential losses from our operations. Our vessels are subject to a variety of operational risks caused by adverse weather conditions, mechanical failures,human error, war, terrorism, piracy, or other circumstances or events. We procure hull and machinery insurance, protectionand indemnity insurance, which includes environmental damage and pollution insurance coverage, and war risk insurancefor our fleet. While we endeavor to be adequately insured against all known risks related to the operation of our ships, thereremains the possibility that a liability may not be adequately covered and we may not be able to obtain adequate insurancecoverage for our fleet in the future. The insurers may also not pay particular claims. Even if our insurance coverage isadequate, we may not be able to timely obtain a replacement vessel in the event of a loss. There can be no assurance that suchinsurance coverage will remain available at economic rates. Furthermore, such insurance coverage will contain deductibles,limitations and exclusions, which are standard in the shipping industry and may increase our costs or lower our revenue ifapplied in respect of any claim. We may be unable to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future.We may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates in the future during adverse insurancemarket conditions. For example, more stringent environmental regulations have led in the past to increased costs for, and inthe future may result in the lack of availability of, insurance against risks of environmental damage or pollution. A marinedisaster could exceed our insurance coverage, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Anyuninsured or underinsured loss could harm our business and financial condition. In addition, our insurance may be voidableby the insurers as a result of certain of our actions, such as our vessels failing to maintain certification with applicablemaritime self-regulatory organizations.Changes in the insurance markets attributable to terrorist attacks may also make certain types of insurance moredifficult for us to obtain. In addition, upon renewal or expiration of our current policies, the insurance that may be availableto us may be significantly more expensive than our existing coverage.Because we will obtain some of our insurance through protection and indemnity associations, we may be required to makeadditional premium payments.Although we believe we carry protection and indemnity insurance consistent with industry standards, all risks maynot be adequately insured against, and any particular claim may not be paid. Any claims covered by insurance would besubject to deductibles, and since it is possible that a large number of claims may be brought, the aggregate amount of thesedeductibles could be material. Certain of our insurance coverage is maintained through mutual protection and indemnityassociations, and as a member of such associations we may be required to make additional payments, or calls,30 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

These calls will be in amounts based onour claim records, as well as the claim records of other members of the protection and indemnity associations through whichwe receive insurance coverage for tort liability, including pollution-related liability. In addition, our protection andindemnity associations may not have enough resources to cover claims made against them. Our payment of these calls couldresult in significant expense to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cashflows, financial condition, and ability to pay dividends. We may incur substantial costs for the drydocking, maintenance or replacement of our vessels as they age, and, as ourvessels age, the risks associated with older vessels could adversely affect our ability to obtain profitable charters. The drydocking of our vessels requires significant capital expenditures and loss of revenue while our vessels areoff‑hire. Any significant increase in the number of days of off‑hire due to such drydocking or in the costs of any repairscould have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Although wedo not anticipate that more than one vessel will be out of service at any given time, we may underestimate the time requiredto drydock our vessels, or unanticipated problems may arise. In addition, although all of our vessels were built within the past ten years, we estimate that our vessels have a usefullife of 25 years. In general, the costs to maintain a vessel in good operating condition increases with the age of the vessel.Older vessels are typically less fuel-efficient than more recently constructed vessels due to improvements in enginetechnology. Cargo insurance rates increase with the age of a vessel, making older vessels less desirable to charterers. As our vessels become older, we may have to replace such vessels upon the expiration of their useful lives. Unlesswe maintain reserves or are able to borrow or raise funds for vessel replacement, we will be unable to replace such oldervessels. The inability to replace the vessels in our fleet upon the expiration of their useful lives could have a material adverseeffect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Any reserves set aside for vessel replacementwill not be available for the payment of dividends to shareholders. If we purchase secondhand vessels, we will be exposed to increased costs which could adversely affect our earnings. We may acquire secondhand vessels in the future, and while we typically inspect secondhand vessels prior topurchase, this does not provide us with the same knowledge about their condition that we would have had if these vesselshad been built for and operated exclusively by us. A secondhand vessel may have conditions or defects that we were notaware of when we bought the vessel and which may require us to incur costly repairs to the vessel. These repairs may requireus to put a vessel into drydock which would reduce our fleet utilization and increase our operating costs. SeaDor Holdings, Kensico Capital Management, HNA Group Co.

Similarly, this concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of ourshares because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning shares in a company with concentrated ownership. United States tax authorities could treat us as a "passive foreign investment company," which could have adverse UnitedStates federal income tax consequences to United States holders. A foreign corporation will be treated as a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes if either (1) at least75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of "passive income" or (2) at least 50% of the average value of thecorporation's assets produce or are held for the production of "passive income." For purposes of these tests, "passive income"generally includes dividends, interest, and gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royaltiesother than rents and royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade orbusiness. For purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services generally does not constitute "passiveincome." United States shareholders of a PFIC are subject to an adverse United States federal income tax regime with respectto the income derived by the PFIC, the distributions they receive from the PFIC and the gain, if any, they derive from the saleor other disposition of their shares in the PFIC. Whether we were a PFIC for our initial taxable year 2014 and our taxable year 2015 will depend, in part, uponwhether our newbuilding contracts and the deposits made thereon are treated as assets held for the production of passiveincome and the level of cash held on hand during each of these taxable years. In making such determination, we intend totake the position that the newbuilding contracts and the deposits thereon are assets held for the production of active incomeon the basis that we expect to either time or voyage charter all vessels upon their completion and delivery under thenewbuilding contracts. However, there is no direct authority on this point and it is possible that the IRS may disagree withour position. Whether we will be treated as a PFIC for our taxable year 2016 and subsequent taxable years will depend upon thenature and extent of our operations. In this regard, we intend to treat the gross income we derive from our voyage and timechartering activities as services income, rather than rental income. Accordingly, such income should not constitute passiveincome, and the assets that we own and operate in connection with the production of such income, in particular, our vessels,should not constitute passive assets for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC. There is substantial legal authoritysupporting this position consisting of case law and the United States Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, pronouncementsconcerning the characterization of income derived from time charters as services income for other tax purposes. However,there is also authority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other taxpurposes. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept this position, and there is a riskthat the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC. In addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in amanner to avoid being classified as a PFIC with respect to any taxable year, we cannot assure you that the nature of ouroperations will not change in the future. For any taxable year in which we are, or were to be treated as, a PFIC, United States shareholders would face adverseUnited States federal income tax consequences. Under the PFIC rules, unless a shareholder makes an election available underthe U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, (which election could itself have adverse consequences forsuch shareholders, as discussed below under "Item 1. Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—UnitedStates Federal Income Taxation of United States Holders"), excess distributions and any gain from the disposition of suchshareholder's common shares would be allocated ratably over the shareholder's holding period of the common shares and theamounts allocated to the taxable year of the excess distribution or sale or other disposition and to any year before we becamea PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at thehighest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge would beimposed with respect to such tax. See "Item 1. Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—United StatesFederal Income Taxation of United States Holders" for a more comprehensive discussion of the United States federal incometax consequences to United States shareholders if we are treated as a PFIC. 32 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsWe may have to pay tax on United States source shipping income, which would reduce our earnings. Under the Code, 50% of the gross shipping income of a corporation that owns or charters vessels, as we and oursubsidiaries do, that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the UnitedStates may be subject to a 4%, or an effective 2%, United States federal income tax without allowance for deduction, unlessthat corporation qualifies for exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulationspromulgated thereunder. We believe that we qualify, and we expect to qualify, for exemption under Section 883 for our taxable years endedMarch 31, 2016 and our subsequent taxable years and we intend to take this position for United States federal income taxreturn reporting purposes. However, there are factual circumstances beyond our control that could cause us to lose the benefitof this tax exemption and thereby become subject to United States federal income tax on our United States source shippingincome. For example, we would no longer qualify for exemption under Section 883 of the Code for a particular taxable yearif certain "non‑qualified" shareholders with a 5% or greater interest in our common shares owned, in the aggregate, 50% ormore of our outstanding common shares for more than half the days during the taxable year. Due to the factual nature of theissues involved, there can be no assurances on that we or any of our subsidiaries will qualify for exemption under Section883 of the Code. If we or our subsidiaries were not entitled to exemption under Section 883 of the Code for any taxable year based onour failure to satisfy the publicly‑traded test, we or our subsidiaries would be subject for such year to an effective 2% UnitedStates federal income tax on the gross shipping income we or our subsidiaries derive during the year that is attributable to thetransport of cargoes to or from the United States. The imposition of this taxation would have a negative effect on our businessand would decrease our earnings available for distribution to our shareholders. Risks Relating to our Industry The cyclical nature of the demand for LPG transportation may lead to significant changes in charter rates, vesselutilization and vessel values, which may adversely affect our revenues, profitability and financial condition. Historically, the LPG shipping market has been cyclical with attendant volatility in profitability, charter rates andvessel values. The degree of charter rate volatility among different types of gas carriers has varied widely. Because manyfactors influencing the supply of, and demand for, vessel capacity are unpredictable, the timing, direction and degree ofchanges in the LPG shipping market are also not predictable. If charter rates decline, our earnings may decrease, particularlywith respect to our vessels deployed in the spot market, including through the Helios Pool, but also with respect to our othervessels when their charters expire, as they may not be rechartered on favorable terms when compared to the terms of theexpiring charters. Accordingly, a decline in charter rates would 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 worldeconomy and demand for LPG product transportation that exceeds the capacity of the growing worldwide LPG carrier fleet.We believe that the future growth in demand for LPG carriers and the charter rate levels for LPG carriers will depend primarilyupon the supply and demand for LPG, particularly in the economies of China, India, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Middle Eastand the U.S. and upon seasonal and regional changes in demand and changes to the capacity of the world fleet. The capacityof the world LPG shipping fleet appears likely to increase in the near term. 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 adverseeffect on our business and results of operations. The factors affecting the supply of and demand for LPG carriers are outside of our control, and the nature, timing anddegree of changes in industry conditions are unpredictable. The factors that influence demand for our vessels include: ·global or regional economic or political conditions, particularly in LPG consuming regions; 33 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

A shift in consumer demand from LPG towards other energy sources or changes to trade patterns may have a materialadverse effect on our business.Substantially all of our earnings are related to the LPG industry. A shift in the consumer demand from LPG towardsother energy resources such as oil, wind energy, solar energy, or water energy will potentially affect the demand for our LPGcarriers. This could have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financialposition.Seaborne trading and distribution patterns are primarily influenced by the relative advantage of the various sourcesof production, locations of consumption, pricing differentials and seasonality. Changes to the trade patterns of LPG mayhave a significant negative or positive impact on the demand for our vessels. This could have a material adverse effect on ourfuture performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position. The market values of our vessels may fluctuate significantly. When the market values of our vessels are low, we may incur aloss on sale of a vessel or record an impairment charge, which may adversely affect our earnings and possibly lead todefaults under our loan agreement or under future loan agreements we may enter into. Vessel values are both cyclical and volatile, and may fluctuate due to a number of different factors, includinggeneral economic and market conditions affecting the shipping industry; sophistication and condition of the vessels; typesand sizes of vessels; competition from other shipping companies; the availability of other modes of transportation; increasesin the supply of vessel capacity; charter rates; the cost and delivery of newbuildings; governmental or other regulations;supply of and demand for LPG products; prevailing freight rates; and the need to upgrade secondhand and previously ownedvessels as a result of charterer requirements, technological advances in vessel design or equipment or otherwise. In addition,as vessels grow older, they generally decline in value. Due to the cyclical nature of the market, if for any reason we sell any of our owned vessels at a time when prices aredepressed and before we have recorded an impairment adjustment to our financial statements, the sale may be for less thanthe vessel's carrying value in our financial statements, resulting in a loss and reduction in earnings. Furthermore, if vesselvalues experience significant declines and our estimated future cash flows decrease, we may have to record an impairmentadjustment in our financial statements, which could adversely affect our financial results. If the market value of our fleetdeclines, we may not be in compliance with certain provisions of our loan agreements and we may not be able to refinanceour debt or obtain additional financing or pay dividends, if any. If we are unable to pledge additional collateral, our lenderscould accelerate our debt and foreclose on our vessels. Our revenues, operations and future growth could be adversely affected by a decrease in the supply of or demand for LPGor natural gas. In recent years, there has been a strong supply of natural gas and an increase in the construction of plants andprojects involving natural gas, of which LPG is a byproduct. Several of these projects, however, have experienced delays intheir completion for various reasons and thus the expected increase in the supply of LPG from these projects may be delayedsignificantly. If the supply of natural gas decreases, we may see a concurrent reduction in the production of LPG andresulting lesser demand and lower charter rates for our vessels and the vessels in the Helios Pool, which could ultimately havea material adverse impact on our revenues, operations and future growth. Additionally, changes in environmental or otherlegislation establishing additional regulation or restrictions on LPG production and transportation, including the adoption ofclimate change legislation or regulations, or legislation in the United States placing additional regulation or restrictions onLPG production from shale gas could result in reduced demand for LPG shipping. 35 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsGeneral economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations, aswell as our future prospects. The global economy and the volume of world trade have remained relatively weak since the severe decline in thelatter part of 2008 and in 2009. Recovery of the global economy is proceeding at varying speeds across regions but remainssubject to downside risks, including substantial sovereign debt burdens in countries throughout the world, the UnitedKingdom’s potential exit from the EU, continuing turmoil and hostilities in the Middle East, North Africa and othergeographic areas and the refugee crisis in Europe and the Middle East. There has historically been a strong link between thedevelopment of the world economy and demand for LPG shipping. Accordingly, an extended negative outlook for the worldeconomy could reduce the overall demand for our services. More specifically, some LPG products we carry are used incyclical businesses, such as the manufacturing of plastics and in the chemical industry, that were adversely affected by theeconomic downturn and, accordingly, continued weakness and any further reduction in demand in those industries couldadversely affect the LPG shipping industry. In particular, an adverse change in economic conditions affecting China, India,Japan or Southeast Asia generally could have a negative effect on the demand for LPG products, thereby adversely affectingour business, financial position and results of operations, as well as our future prospects. In addition, as a result of the ongoing economic turmoil in Greece resulting from the sovereign debt crisis and therelated austerity measures implemented by the Greek government, our operations in Greece may be subjected to newregulations that may require us to incur new or additional compliance or other administrative costs and may require that wepay to the Greek government new taxes or other fees. We also face the risk that strikes, work stoppages, civil unrest andviolence within Greece may disrupt our shoreside operations located in Greece. The state of global financial markets and current economic conditions may adversely impact our ability to obtainfinancing or refinance our credit facilities on acceptable terms, which may hinder or prevent us from operating orexpanding our business. Global financial markets, including credit markets and debt and equity capital markets, remain relatively weak sincethe severe decline in the latter part of 2008 and 2009. These issues, along with the re-pricing of credit risk and the difficultiesexperienced by financial institutions, have made, and will likely continue to make, it difficult to obtain financing. As a resultof the disruptions in the credit markets and higher capital requirements, many lenders have increased margins on lendingrates, 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 on terms similar to current debt or at all.Furthermore, certain banks that have historically been significant lenders to the shipping industry reduced or ceased lendingactivities in the shipping industry. New banking regulations, including tightening of capital requirements and the resultingpolicies adopted by lenders, could further reduce lending activities. We may experience difficulties obtaining financingcommitments or be unable to fully draw on the capacity under our credit facilities committed in the future or refinance ourcredit facilities when our facilities mature if our lenders are unwilling to extend financing to us or unable to meet theirfunding obligations due to their own liquidity, capital or solvency issues. We cannot be certain that financing will beavailable when needed on acceptable terms or at all. In the absence of available financing, we may be unable to satisfy ourobligations, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. Our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations, which could affect our operating results and the amount ofavailable cash with which we can pay dividends. We operate our LPG carriers in markets that have historically exhibited seasonal variations in demand and, as aresult, in charter hire rates. This seasonality may result in quarter‑to‑quarter volatility in our operating results, which couldaffect the amount of dividends that we may pay to our shareholders from quarter‑to‑quarter. The LPG shipping market istypically stronger in the spring and summer months in anticipation of increased consumption of propane and butane forheating during the winter months. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns in these months tend to disrupt vesselscheduling and supplies of certain commodities. As a result, our revenues may be stronger in fiscal quarters ended June 30and September 30, and conversely, our revenues may be weaker during the fiscal quarters ended December 31 and March 31.This seasonality could materially affect our quarterly operating results. 36 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsFuture technological innovation could reduce our charter hire income and the value of our vessels. The charter hire rates and the value and operational life of a vessel are determined by a number of factors includingthe vessel's efficiency, operational flexibility and physical life. Efficiency includes speed, fuel economy and the ability toload and discharge cargo quickly. Flexibility includes the ability to enter harbors, utilize related docking facilities and passthrough canals and straits. The length of a vessel's physical life is related to its original design and construction, itsmaintenance and the impact of the stress of operations. We believe that our fleet is among the youngest and mosteco‑friendly fleet of all our competitors. However, if new LPG carriers are built that are more efficient or more flexible orhave longer physical lives than our vessels, competition from these more technologically advanced vessels could adverselyaffect the amount of charter hire payments we receive for our vessels and the resale value of our vessels could significantlydecrease. Similarly, if the vessels of the other participants in the Helios Pool fleet become outdated, the amount of charterhire payments to the Helios Pool may be adversely effected. As a result of the foregoing, our results of operations andfinancial condition could be adversely affected. Changes in fuel, or bunker, prices may adversely affect profits. While we do not bear the cost of fuel, or bunkers, under time and bareboat charters, including for our vesselsemployed on time charters through the Helios Pool, fuel is a significant expense in our shipping operations when vessels areoff-hire or deployed under spot charters. Changes in the price of fuel may adversely affect our profitability. The price andsupply of fuel is unpredictable and fluctuates based on events outside our control, including geopolitical developments,supply and demand for oil and gas, actions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, and other oiland gas producers, war and unrest in oil producing countries and regions, regional production patterns and environmentalconcerns. Further, fuel may become much more expensive in the future, which may reduce profitability. We are subject to regulation and liability, including environmental laws, which could require significant expenditures andadversely affect our financial conditions and results of operations. Our business and the operation of our vessels are subject to complex laws and regulations and materially affected bygovernment regulation, including environmental regulations in the form of international conventions and national, state andlocal laws and regulations in force in the jurisdictions in which the vessels operate, as well as in the country or countries inwhich the vessels operate, as well as in the country or countries of their registration. These regulations include, but are not limited to OPA90 that establishes an extensive regulatory and liability regimefor the protection and cleanup of the environment from oil spills and applies to any discharges of oil from a vessel, includingdischarges of fuel oil and lubricants, the U.S. Clean Air Act, U.S. Clean Water Act and requirements of the USCG and theEPA, and the U.S. Marine Transportation Security Act of 2002, and regulations of the IMO, including the IMO InternationalConvention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships of 1973, as from time to time amended and generally referred to asMARPOL, including the designation of ECAs thereunder, the IMO International Convention on Civil Liability for OilPollution Damage of 1969, as from time to time amended and generally referred to as CLC, the International Convention ofCivil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, the IMO International Convention of Load Lines of 1966, as from time totime amended, and the IMO International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974, as from time to time amended andgenerally referred to as SOLAS. To comply with these and other regulations we may be required to incur additional costs tomodify our vessels, meet new operating maintenance and inspection requirements, develop contingency plans for potentialspills, and obtain insurance coverage. We are also required by various governmental and quasi-governmental agencies toobtain permits, licenses, certificates and financial assurances with respect to our operations. These permits, licenses,certificates and financial assurances may be issued or renewed with terms that could materially and adversely affect ouroperations. Because these laws and regulations are often revised, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with themor the impact they may have on the resale prices or useful lives of our vessels. However, a failure to comply with applicablelaws and regulations may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination ofour operations. Additional laws and regulations may be adopted which could limit our ability to do business or increase thecost of our doing business and which could materially adversely affect our operations. For example, a future serious incident,such as the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico may result in new regulatory initiatives. 37 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsThe operation of our vessels is affected by the requirements set forth in the ISM Code. The ISM Code requires shipowners and bareboat charterers to develop and maintain an extensive "Safety Management System" that includes, amongother things, the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for safeoperation and describing procedures for dealing with emergencies. The failure of a ship owner or bareboat charterer tocomply with the ISM Code may subject the owner or charterer to increased liability, may decrease available insurancecoverage for the affected vessels, or may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. In our case,noncompliance with the ISM Code may result in breach of our loan covenants. Currently, each of the vessels in our fleet isISM Code certified. Because these certifications are critical to our business, we place a high priority on maintaining them.Nonetheless, there is the possibility that such certifications may not be renewed. We currently maintain, for each of our vessels, pollution liability insurance coverage in the amount of $1.0 billionper incident. In addition, we carry hull and machinery and protection and indemnity insurance to cover the risks of fire andexplosion. Under certain circumstances, fire and explosion could result in a catastrophic loss. We believe that our presentinsurance coverage is adequate, but not all risks can be insured, and there is the possibility that any specific claim may not bepaid, or that we will not always be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates. If the damages from acatastrophic spill exceeded our insurance coverage, the effect on our business would be severe and could possibly result inour insolvency. We believe that regulation of the shipping industry will continue to become more stringent and compliance withsuch new regulations will be more expensive for us and our competitors. Substantial violations of applicable requirements ora catastrophic release from one of our vessels could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results ofoperations. Climate change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely impact our operations and markets.Due to concern over the risk of climate change, a number of countries and the IMO have adopted, or are consideringthe adoption of, regulatory frameworks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These regulatory measures may include, amongothers, adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards, and incentives or mandates forrenewable energy. In addition, although the emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping currently are notsubject to the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which required adoptingcountries to implement national programs to reduce emissions of certain gases, a new treaty may be adopted in the future thatincludes restrictions on shipping emissions. Compliance with changes in laws, regulations and obligations relating toclimate change could increase our costs related to operating and maintaining our vessels and require us to install newemission controls, acquire allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions, or administer and manage agreenhouse gas emissions program. Revenue generation and strategic growth opportunities could also be adversely affectedby compliance with such changes. We may be required to make significant investments in ballast water management which may have a material adverseeffect on our future performance, results of operations, and financial position.The International Convention for the Control and Management of Vessels' Ballast Water and Sediments, or theBWM Convention, aims to prevent the spread of harmful aquatic organisms from one region to another, by establishingstandards and procedures for the management and control of ships' ballast water and sediments. The BWM Convention callsfor a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements to be replaced in time with mandatoryconcentration limits. Investments in ballast water treatment may have a material adverse effect on our future performance,results of operations, cash flows and financial position. Our vessels may call on ports located in countries that are subject to sanctions and embargoes imposed by the U.S. or othergovernments, which could adversely affect our reputation and the market for our common shares. Since January 1, 2010, none of our vessels has called on ports located in countries subject to sanctions andembargoes imposed by the United States government and countries identified by the United States government as statesponsors of terrorism, such as Iran, Sudan and Syria. The U.S. sanctions and embargo laws and regulations vary in theirapplication, as they do not all apply to the same covered persons or proscribe the same activities, and such sanctions and38 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

In 2010, the U.S. enacted the Comprehensive IranSanctions Accountability and Divestment Act, or CISADA, which expanded the scope of the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996.Among other things, CISADA expands the application of the prohibitions involving Iran to include ships or shippingservices by non U.S. companies, such as our company, and introduces limits on the ability of companies and persons to dobusiness or trade with Iran when such activities relate to the investment, supply or export of refined petroleum or petroleumproducts. In addition, in October 2012, President Obama issued an executive order implementing the Iran Threat Reductionand Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, or the ITRA, which extends the application of all U.S. laws and regulations relating toIran to non U.S. companies controlled by U.S. companies or persons as if they were themselves U.S. companies or persons,expands categories of sanctionable activities, adds additional forms of potential sanctions and imposes certain relatedreporting obligations with respect to activities of the Commission registrants and their affiliates. The ITRA also includes aprovision requiring the President of the United States to impose five or more sanctions from Section 6(a) of the Iran SanctionsAct, as amended, on a person the President determines is controlling beneficial owner of, or otherwise owns, operates orcontrols or insures a vessel that was used to transport crude oil from Iran to another country and (1) if the person is acontrolling beneficial owner of the vessel, the person had actual knowledge the vessel was so used or (2) if the personotherwise owns, operates, controls, or insures the vessel, the person knew or should have known the vessel was so used. Sucha person could be subject to a variety of sanctions, including exclusion from U.S. capital markets, exclusion from financialtransactions subject to U.S. jurisdiction, and exclusion of that person's vessels from U.S. ports for up to two years. Finally, inJanuary 2013, the U.S. enacted the Iran Freedom and Counter Proliferation Act of 2012 (the "IFCPA") which expanded thescope of U.S. sanctions on any person that is part of Iran's energy, shipping or shipbuilding sector and operators of ports inIran, and imposes penalties on any person who facilitates or otherwise knowingly provides significant financial, material orother support to these entities. On November 24, 2013, the P5+1 (the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia and China) enteredinto an interim agreement with Iran entitled the “Joint Plan of Action,” or JPOA. Under the JPOA it was agreed that, inexchange for Iran taking certain voluntary measures to ensure that its nuclear program is used only for peaceful purposes, theU.S. and EU would voluntarily suspend certain sanctions for a period of six months. On January 20, 2014, the U.S. and E.U. indicated that they would begin implementing the temporary relief measuresprovided for under the JPOA. These measures include, among other things, the suspension of certain sanctions on the Iranianpetrochemicals, precious metals, and automotive industries from January 20, 2014 until July 20, 2014. The U.S.subsequently extended the JPOA twice. On July 14, 2015, the P5+1 and the EU announced that they reached a landmark agreement with Iran titled the JointComprehensive Plan of Action Regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Nuclear Program, or the JCPOA, which is intended tosignificantly restrict Iran’s ability to develop and produce nuclear weapons for 10 years while simultaneously easingsanctions directed toward non-U.S. persons for conduct involving Iran, but taking place outside of U.S. jurisdiction and doesnot involve U.S. persons. On January 16, 2016, the United States joined the EU and the UN in lifting a significant number oftheir nuclear-related sanctions on Iran following an announcement by the International Atomic Energy Agency, or the IAEA,that Iran had satisfied its respective obligations under the JCPOA. U.S. sanctions prohibiting certain conduct that is now permitted under the JCPOA have not actually been repealedor permanently terminated at this time. Rather, the U.S. government has implemented changes to the sanctions regime by: (1)issuing waivers of certain statutory sanctions provisions; (2) committing to refrain from exercising certain discretionarysanctions authorities; (3) removing certain individuals and entities from the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s sanctionslists; and (4) revoking certain Executive Orders and specified sections of Executive Orders. These sanctions will not bepermanently "lifted" until the earlier of “Transition Day,” set to occur on October 20, 2023, or upon a report from the IAEAstating that all nuclear material in Iran is being used for peaceful activities. Although we believe that we are in compliance with all applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations andintend to maintain such compliance, there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance in the future, particularly as thescope of certain laws may vary or may be subject to changing interpretations and we may be unable to prevent our charterersfrom violating contractual and legal restrictions on their operations of the vessels. Any such violation could result in fines orother penalties for us and could result in some investors deciding, or being required, to divest their interest, or not to invest,in the Company. Additionally, some investors may decide to divest their interest, or not to invest, in the39 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Moreover, our charterersmay violate applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations as a result of actions that do not involve us or ourvessels, and those violations could in turn negatively affect our reputation. Investor perception of the value of our commonshares may also be adversely affected by the consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest and governmentalactions in these and surrounding countries. Our vessels are subject to periodic inspections by a classification society. The hull and machinery of every commercial vessel must be classed by a classification society authorized by itscountry of registry. The classification society certifies that a vessel is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the applicablerules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and the Safety of Life at Sea Convention. Our VLGCs arecurrently classed with Lloyd's Register, ABS or Det Norske Veritas. A vessel must undergo annual surveys, intermediate surveys and special surveys. In lieu of a special survey, avessel's machinery may be on a continuous survey cycle, under which the machinery would be surveyed periodically over afive‑year period. Our vessels are on special survey cycles for hull inspection and continuous survey cycles for machineryinspection. Every vessel is also required to be drydocked every two to three years for inspection of the underwater parts ofsuch vessel. However, for vessels not exceeding 15 years that have means to facilitate underwater inspection in lieu ofdrydocking, the drydocking can be skipped and be conducted concurrently with the special survey. If a vessel does not maintain its class and/or fails any annual survey, intermediate survey or special survey, thevessel will be unable to trade between ports and will be unemployable, and we could be in violation of covenants in our loanagreements and insurance contracts or other financing arrangements. This would adversely impact our operations andrevenues. Maritime claimants could arrest our vessels, which could interrupt our cash flow. Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a vessel, shippers of cargo and others may be entitled to amaritime lien against that vessel for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a maritime lien holder mayenforce its lien by arresting or attaching a vessel through foreclosure proceedings. The arrest or attachment of one or more ofour vessels could interrupt our cash flow and require us to pay large sums of funds to have the arrest lifted. In addition, in some jurisdictions, such as South Africa, under the "sister ship" theory of liability, a claimant mayarrest both the vessel which is subject to the claimant's maritime lien and any "associated" vessel, which is any vessel ownedor controlled by the same owner. Claimants could try to assert "sister ship" liability against one vessel in our fleet for claimsrelating to another of our ships or, possibly, another vessel managed by one of our shareholders holding more than 5% of ourcommon stock or entities affiliated with them. Governments could requisition our vessels during a period of war or emergency, resulting in loss of revenues. The government of a vessel's registry could requisition for title or seize our vessels. Requisition for title occurs whena government takes control of a vessel and becomes the owner. A government could also requisition our vessels for hire.Requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and effectively becomes the charterer at dictatedcharter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during a period of war or emergency. Government requisition of one or more of ourvessels could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Risks involved with operating ocean-going vessels could adversely affect our business or reputation, and could cause us toexperience unexpected drydocking costs, any of which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition,results of operations, cash flows, and ability to pay dividends. The operation of an ocean-going vessel carries inherent risks. Our vessels and their cargoes are at risk of beingdamaged or lost because of events such as marine disasters, bad weather, mechanical failures, grounding, fire, explosions,collisions, human error, war, terrorism, piracy, cargo loss, latent defects, acts of God and other circumstances or events.40 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsChanging economic, regulatory and political conditions in some countries, including political and military conflicts, havefrom time to time resulted in attacks on vessels, mining of waterways, piracy, terrorism, labor strikes and boycotts. Damage tothe environment could also result from our operations, particularly through spillage of fuel, lubricants or other chemicals andsubstances used in operations, or extensive uncontrolled fires. These hazards may result in death or injury to persons, loss ofrevenues or property, environmental damage, higher insurance rates, damage to our customer relationships, marketdisruptions, delay or rerouting, any of which may also subject us to litigation. As a result, we could be exposed to substantialliabilities not recoverable under our insurances. Further, the involvement of our vessels in a serious accident could harm ourreputation as a safe and reliable vessel operator and lead to a loss of business.If our vessels suffer damage, they may need to be repaired at a drydocking facility. The costs of drydock repairs areunpredictable and may be substantial. We may have to pay drydocking costs that our insurance does not cover at all or infull. The loss of earnings while these vessels are being repaired and repositioned, as well as the actual cost of these repairs,may adversely affect our business and financial condition. In addition, space at drydocking facilities is sometimes limitedand not all drydocking facilities are conveniently located. We may be unable to find space at a suitable drydocking facilityor our vessels may be forced to travel to a drydocking facility that is not conveniently located to our vessels' positions. Theloss of earnings while these vessels are forced to wait for space or to travel or be towed to more distant drydocking facilitiesmay adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We may be subject to litigation that could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. We are currently not involved in any litigation matters that are expected to have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness or financial condition. Nevertheless, we anticipate that we could be involved in litigation matters from time to timein the future. The operating hazards inherent in our business expose us to litigation, including personal injury litigation,environmental litigation, contractual litigation with clients, intellectual property litigation, tax or securities litigation, andmaritime lawsuits including the possible arrest of our vessels. We cannot predict with certainty the outcome or effect of anyclaim or other litigation matter. Any future litigation may have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, results ofoperations and our ability to pay dividends, because of potential negative outcomes, the costs associated with prosecuting ordefending such lawsuits, and the diversion of management's attention to these matters. Additionally, our insurance may notbe applicable or sufficient to cover the related costs in all cases or our insurers may not remain solvent. Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels could adversely affect our business. Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels trading in regions of the world such as the South ChinaSea, the Strait of Malacca, the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea, off the coast of West Africa and in the Gulf ofAden off the coast of Somalia. Sea piracy incidents continue to occur, particularly in the South China Sea, the Strait ofMalacca, off the coast of West Africa and off the coast of Somalia. If these piracy attacks occur in regions in which our vesselsare deployed and are characterized by insurers as "war risk" zones, as the Gulf of Aden continues to be, or Joint WarCommittee (JWC) "war and strikes" listed areas, premiums payable for such coverage, for which we are responsible withrespect to vessels employed on spot charters, but not vessels employed on bareboat or time charters, could increasesignificantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, costs to employ onboard securityguards could increase in such circumstances. We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, whichcould have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, detention hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our vessels,or an increase in cost, or unavailability of insurance for our vessels, could have a material adverse impact on our business,financial condition and results of operations. Our operations outside the United States expose us to global risks, such as political conflict and terrorism, which mayinterfere with the operation of our vessels and could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, revenues andcosts. We are an international company and primarily conduct our operations outside the United States. Changingeconomic, political and governmental conditions in the countries where we are engaged in business or where our vessels areregistered affect us. In the past, political conflicts, particularly in the Arabian Gulf, resulted in attacks on vessels, mining ofwaterways and other efforts to disrupt shipping in the area. For example, in October 2002, the vessel Limburg 41 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Acts of terrorism and piracy have alsoaffected vessels trading in regions such as the South China Sea. As a result of the military response of the United States andother nations to threats of terrorism as well as the ongoing conflicts in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, thelikelihood of future acts of terrorism may increase, and our vessels may face higher risks of being attacked. In addition, futurehostilities or other political instability in regions where our vessels trade could affect our trade patterns and adversely affectour operations and performance. Hostilities in or closure of major waterways in the Middle East, Ukraine or Black Sea regioncould adversely affect the availability of and demand for crude oil and petroleum products, as well as LPG, and negativelyaffect our investment and our customers' investment decisions over an extended period of time. In addition, sanctions againstoil exporting countries such as Iran, Russia, Sudan and Syria may also impact the availability of crude oil, petroleumproducts and LPG and which would increase the availability of applicable vessels thereby impacting negatively charter rates. Terrorist attacks, or the perception that LPG or natural gas facilities or oil refineries and LPG carriers are potentialterrorist targets, could materially and adversely affect the continued supply of LPG. Concern that LPG and natural gasfacilities may be targeted for attack by terrorists has contributed to a significant community and environmental resistance tothe construction of a number of natural gas facilities, primarily in North America. If a terrorist incident involving a gasfacility or gas carrier did occur, the incident may adversely affect necessary LPG facilities or natural gas facilities currently inoperation. Furthermore, future terrorist attacks could result in increased volatility of the financial markets in the United Statesand globally and could result in an economic recession in the United States or the world. Any of these occurrences couldhave a material adverse impact on our operating results, revenues and costs. If labor or other interruptions are not resolved in a timely manner, they could have a material adverse effect on ourfinancial condition. We employ masters, officers and crews to man our vessels. If not resolved in a timely and cost-effective manner,industrial action or other labor unrest or any other interruption arising from incidents of whistleblowing whether proven ornot, could prevent or hinder our operations from being carried out as we expect and could have a material adverse effect onour business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to pay dividends. Risks Relating To Our Common Shares The price of our common shares may be highly volatile. The market price of our common shares may fluctuate significantly in response to many factors, such as actual oranticipated fluctuations in our operating results and those of other public companies in the LPG shipping or relatedindustries, market conditions in the LPG shipping industry, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, significantsales of our shares by us or our shareholders, economic and regulatory trends, general market conditions, rumors and otherfactors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, since approximately 74% of our outstanding shares are held byour Principal Shareholders, any movement in our stock price may be exaggerated due to less liquidity. An adversedevelopment in the market price for our common shares could also negatively affect our ability to issue new equity to fundour activities. Our board of directors may not declare dividends. We have not paid any dividends since our inception in July 2013. We will evaluate the potential level and timing ofdividends as soon as profits and cash flows allow. However, the timing and amount of any dividend payments will always besubject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, earnings, capital expenditurecommitments, market prospects, current capital expenditure programs, investment opportunities, the provisions of MarshallIslands law affecting the payment of distributions to shareholders, and the terms and restrictions of our credit facilities. TheLPG shipping industry is highly volatile, and we cannot predict with certainty the amount of cash, if any, that will beavailable for distribution as dividends in any period. Also, there may be a high degree of variability from period to period inthe amount of cash that is available for the payment of dividends. 42 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Ourgrowth strategy contemplates that we will primarily finance our acquisitions of additional vessels through debt financings orthe net proceeds of future equity issuances on terms acceptable to us. If financing is not available to us on acceptable terms,our board of directors may determine to finance or refinance acquisitions with cash from operations, which would reduce theamount of any cash available for the payment of dividends. In general, under the terms of our credit facilities, we are not permitted to pay dividends if there is a default or abreach of a loan covenant. The Republic of Marshall Islands laws generally prohibit the payment of dividends other than from surplus (retainedearnings and the excess of consideration received for the sale of shares above the par value of the shares) or while a companyis insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend. We may not have sufficient surplus in thefuture to pay dividends and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient funds or surplus to make distributions to us. We can giveno assurance that dividends will be paid at all. We are a holding company, and depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy ourfinancial obligations and to make dividend payments. We are a holding company, and our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets. Asa result, our ability to satisfy our financial obligations and to pay dividends, if any, to our shareholders depends on theability of our subsidiaries to generate profits available for distribution to us. The ability of a subsidiary to make thesedistributions could be affected by a claim or other action by a third party, including a creditor, the terms of our financingarrangements or by the law of its jurisdiction of incorporation which regulates the payment of dividends. Our subsidiarieswho are party to the RBS Loan Facility are prohibited from paying dividends to us without the consent of the lender.However, the loan facility permits the borrowers to make expenditures to fund our administration and operations. We may issue additional shares in the future, which could cause the market price of our common shares to decline. We may issue additional shares in the future in connection with, among other things, future vessel acquisitions orrepayment of outstanding indebtedness, without shareholder approval, in a number of circumstances. Our issuance ofadditional shares would have the following effects: our existing shareholders' proportionate ownership interest in us willdecrease; the amount of cash available for dividends payable per share may decrease; the relative voting strength of eachpreviously outstanding share may be diminished; and the market price of our shares may decline. A future sale of shares by major shareholders may reduce the share price. As of the date of this report and based on information contained in documents publicly filed by our PrincipalShareholders, our Principal Shareholders own an aggregate of 41.2 million common shares, or approximately 74% of ouroutstanding common shares. Sales or the possibility of sales of substantial amounts of our common shares by any of ourPrincipal Shareholders could adversely affect the market price of our common shares. We are incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body of corporate law. We are incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body ofcorporate or case law. As a result, shareholders may have fewer rights and protections under Marshall Islands law than under atypical jurisdiction in the United States.

The provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of thecorporation laws of a number of states in the United States. However, there have been few judicial cases in the Republic ofthe Marshall Islands interpreting the BCA. The rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under the law of the Republicof the Marshall Islands are not as clearly established as the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under statutes orjudicial precedent in existence in certain U.S. jurisdictions.

Therefore, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in theface of actions by the management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporationincorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction. It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us, our officers and our directors because we are a foreigncorporation. We are incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and most of our subsidiaries are organized in theRepublic of the Marshall Islands. Substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries are located outside the UnitedStates. As a result, our shareholders should not assume that courts in the countries in which we or our subsidiaries areincorporated or where our assets or the assets of our subsidiaries are located (1) would enforce judgments of U.S. courtsobtained in actions against us or our subsidiaries based upon the civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and statesecurities laws or (2) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our subsidiaries based upon these laws. We are an "emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosurerequirements applicable to emerging growth companies make our common shares less attractive to investors. We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certainexemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growthcompanies." We cannot determine if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we rely on theseexemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market forour common shares and our share price may be more volatile. In addition, under the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to theeffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act of 2002 forso long as we are an emerging growth company. For as long as we take advantage of the reduced reporting obligations, theinformation that we provide shareholders may be different from information provided by other public companies, whichcould impact the trading price of our shares. Our organizational documents contain anti‑‑takeover provisions. Several provisions of our articles of incorporation and our bylaws could make it difficult for our shareholders tochange the composition of our board of directors in any one year, preventing them from changing the composition ofmanagement. In addition, the same provisions may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that shareholdersmay consider favorable. These provisions include: ·authorizing our board of directors to issue "blank check" preferred shares without shareholder approval; ·providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three‑year terms; ·authorizing the removal of directors only for cause; ·limiting the persons who may call special meetings of shareholders; ·establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposingmatters that can be acted on by shareholders at shareholder meetings; and ·restricting business combinations with interested stockholders. These anti‑takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of our shareholders to benefit from a changein control and, as a result, may reduce the market price of our common shares and shareholders' ability to realize anypotential change of control premium. 44 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

On December 21, 2015, our Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights agreement, or the Rights Agreement.The Rights Agreement may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire control of our Companyon terms that our Board of Directors does not believe are in our shareholders’ best interest. The Rights Agreement is intendedto protect our shareholders in the event of an unfair or coercive offer to acquire control of the Company and to provide ourBoard of Directors with adequate time to evaluate unsolicited offers. The Rights Agreement may prevent or make takeoversor unsolicited corporate transactions with respect to our Company more difficult, even if shareholders consider suchtransactions favorable, possibly including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for theirshares. For more information, please see the Rights Agreement dated December 21, 2015 filed as an exhibit to our currentreport on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on December 21, 2015. We may have fluctuations in the amount and frequency of our stock repurchases that could affect our liquidity position. On August 5, 2015, we publicly announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $100million of our common stock on or before December 31, 2016. The amount, timing, and execution of our stock repurchaseprogram may fluctuate based on our priorities for the use of cash for other purposes—such as investing in our business,including operational spending, capital spending, and acquisitions, and returning cash to our stockholders as dividendpayments—and because of changes in cash flows and changes in tax laws.

DividendsWe have not paid any dividends since our inception in July 2013. We will evaluate the potential level and timing ofdividends as soon as profits and capital expenditure requirements allow. However, the timing and amount of any dividendpayments will always be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, earnings,potential future capital expenditure commitments, market prospects, current capital expenditure programs, investmentopportunities, the provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of distributions to shareholders, and the termsand restrictions of our existing and future credit facilities. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividendsother than from operating surplus or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent upon the payment of suchdividend.46 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

(3)We define available days as calendar days less aggregate off‑hire days associated with scheduled maintenance,which include major repairs, drydockings, vessel upgrades or special or intermediate surveys. We use available daysto measure the aggregate number of days in a period that our vessels should be capable of generating revenues. (4)We define operating days as available days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off‑hire for anyreason other than scheduled maintenance. We use operating days to measure the number of days in a period that ouroperating vessels are on hire (refer to 7 below). (5)We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of availabledays during that period. An increase in non‑scheduled off‑hire days would reduce our operating days, andtherefore, our fleet utilization. We use fleet utilization to measure our ability to efficiently find suitable employmentfor our vessels. (6)Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE rate, is a non-GAAP measure of the average daily revenue performance of avessel. TCE rate is a shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period‑to‑period changes ina shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (such as time charters, voyagecharters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Our method of calculating TCE rate is todivide revenue net of voyage expenses by operating days for the relevant time period, which may not be calculatedthe same by other companies.50 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

If we were to calculate operating days for each vessel within the Helios Pool as avariable rate time charter for the year ended March 31, 2016, our operating days and fleet utilization would beincreased to 5,291 and 97.9%, respectively and our TCE rate would be reduced to $52,380. We believe that ourmethodology using the underlying vessel employment provides more meaningful insight into market conditionsand the performance of our vessels.

These nineteen ECO VLGCs weredelivered to us between July 2014 and February 2016, seventeen of which were delivered during calendar year 2015 or later. Sixteen of the nineteen ECO VLGCs were delivered during the year ended March 31, 2016, and we borrowed $676.8million in floating rate debt under the 2015 Debt Facility in connection with those deliveries. During the year we enteredinto four interest rate swap contracts which hedged $250 million of non-amortizing principal and $214.3 million ofamortizing principal of the 2015 Debt Facility to fixed interest rates. In February 2016, we sold the Grendon, a 5,000 cbmPGC. On April 1, 2015, Dorian and Phoenix began operations of the Helios Pool and entered into pool participationagreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under a variable rate time charter to be entered intowith owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool of VLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared. Thevessels entered into the Helios Pool may operate either in the spot market, pursuant to COAs or on time charters of two years'duration or less. As of March 31, 2016, eighteen of our twenty-two VLGCs were deployed in the Helios Pool. Our customers, either directly or through the Helios Pool, include or have included global energy companies such asExxon, Unipec, Statoil and Shell, commodity traders such as Itochu Corporation and the Vitol Group and importers such asE1 Corp., SK Gas Co. Ltd. and Indian Oil Corporation. For the year ended March 31, 2016, the Helios Pool and one otherindividual charterer accounted for 70% and 12% of our total revenues, respectively. Within the Helios Pool, two charterersrepresented 19% and 14% of net pool revenues—related party for the year ended March 31, 2016. For the year endedMarch 31, 2015, five charterers represented 27%, 19%, 14%, 12% and 11% of total revenues, respectively. For the periodended March 31, 2014, three charterers represented 51%, 13% and 10% of total revenues, respectively. See “Item 1A. RiskFactors—We operate exclusively in the LPG shipping industry. Due to our lack of diversification and the lack ofdiversification of the Helios Pool, adverse developments in the LPG shipping industry may adversely affect our business,financial condition and operating results” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors—We expect to be dependent on a limited number ofcustomers for a material part of our revenues, and failure of such customers to meet their obligations could cause us to sufferlosses or negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows.” We intend to pursue a balanced chartering strategy by employing our vessels on a mix of multi-year time charters,some of which may include a profit-sharing component, shorter-term time charters, spot market voyages and COAs. Six of ourvessels are currently on fixed time charters, including two vessels on fixed time charter within the Helios Pool. See “Item 1.Business—Our Fleet” above for more information. On August 5, 2015, we publicly announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to$100.0 million of our common stock on or before December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, we repurchased a total of1,932,465 shares of our common stock for approximately $20.9 million under this program, resulting in $79.1 million ofavailable authorization remaining. Vessel Deployment—Spot Voyages, Time Charters, COAs, and Pooling Arrangements We seek to employ our vessels in a manner that maximizes fleet utilization and earnings upside through ourchartering strategy in line with our goal of maximizing shareholder value and returning capital to shareholders whenappropriate, taking into account fluctuations in freight rates in the market and our own views on the direction of those ratesin the future. As of March 31, 2016, eighteen of our twenty-two VLGCs were employed in the Helios Pool, which includestime charters with a term of less than two years. 52 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Under spot market voyage charters, we pay voyageexpenses such as port and fuel costs. A time charter is generally a contract to charter a vessel for a fixed period of time at a setdaily or monthly rate. Under time charters, the charterer pays voyage expenses such as port and fuel costs. Vessels operatingon time charters provide more predictable cash flows, but can yield lower profit margins than vessels operating in the spotmarket during periods characterized by favorable market conditions. Vessels operating in the spot market generate revenuesthat are less predictable but may enable us to capture increased profit margins during periods of improvements in tanker ratesalthough we are exposed to the risk of declining tanker rates and lower utilization. Pools generally consist of a number ofvessels which may be owned by a number of different ship owners which operate as a single marketing entity in an effort toproduce freight efficiencies. Pools typically employ experienced commercial charterers and operators who have closeworking relationships with customers and brokers while technical management is typically the responsibility of each shipowner. Under pool arrangements, vessels typically enter the pool under a time charter agreement whereby the cost of bunkersand port expenses are borne by the charterer (i.e., the pool) and operating costs, including crews, maintenance and insuranceare typically paid by the owner of the vessel. Pools, in return, typically negotiate charters with customers primarily in thespot market. Since the members of a pool typically share in the revenue generated by the entire group of vessels in the pool,and since pools operate primarily in the spot market, including the pools in which we participate, the revenue earned byvessels placed in spot market related pools is subject to the fluctuations of the spot market and the ability of the poolmanager to effectively charter its fleet. We believe that vessel pools can provide cost-effective commercial managementactivities for a group of similar class vessels and potentially result in lower waiting times. COAs relate to the carriage of multiple cargoes over the same route and enables the COA holder to nominatedifferent ships to perform individual voyages. It constitutes a number of voyage charters to carry a specified amount of cargoduring the term of the COA, which usually spans a number of years. All of the vessel's operating, voyage and capital costs areborne by the ship owner. On April 1, 2015, Dorian and Phoenix began operation of the Helios Pool, a 50% joint venture, which is a pool ofVLGC vessels. We believe that the operation of certain of our VLGCs in this pool will allow us to achieve better marketcoverage and utilization. Vessels entered into the Helios Pool are commercially managed jointly by Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd.,our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Phoenix. The members of the Helios Pool share in the net pool revenues generated by theentire group of vessels in the pool, weighted according to certain technical vessel characteristics, and net pool revenues (seeNote 2 to our consolidated financial statements) are distributed as variable rate time charter hire to each participant. Thevessels entered into the Helios Pool may operate either in the spot market, COAs, or on time charters of two years' duration orless. In March 2016, the Helios Pool reached an agreement with Oriental Energy, one of the largest propane dehydrogenationplant operators and importers in China to operate eight VLGCs on its behalf. As of May 26, 2016, the Helios Pool operatedtwenty-four VLGCs, including eighteen of our vessels, four Phoenix vessels, and two Oriental Energy vessels. When fullydelivered, the Helios Pool will operate six additional VLGCs for Oriental Energy, some of which will be time chartered-in at afixed time charter hire rate. In addition, the Helios Pool has entered into a COA with Oriental Energy covering its shipmentsfrom the United States Gulf, which gives us exposure to the growing Chinese LPG market. Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts We use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts in the evaluation of our business and operationsincluding the following: Vessel Revenue. Our revenues are driven primarily by the number of vessels in our fleet, the number of days duringwhich our vessels operate and the amount of daily rates that our vessels earn under our charters, which, in turn, are affected bya number of factors, including levels of demand and supply in the LPG shipping industry; the age, condition andspecifications of our vessels; the duration of our charters; the timing of when the profit sharing arrangements are earned; theamount of time that we spend positioning our vessels; the availability of our vessels, which is related to the amount of timethat our vessels spend in drydock undergoing repairs and the amount of time required to perform necessary maintenance orupgrade work; and other factors affecting rates for LPG vessels. 53 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

As from April 1, 2015, we began operation of the Helios Pool. Net pool revenues—relatedparty for each vessel is determined in accordance with the profit sharing terms specified within the pool agreementfor the Helios Pool. In particular, the pool manager aggregates the revenues and voyage expenses of all of the poolparticipants and Helios Pool general and administrative expenses and distributes the net earnings to participantsbased on: ·pool points (vessel attributes such as cargo carrying capacity, fuel consumption, and speed are taken intoconsideration); and ·number of days the vessel participated in the Helios Pool in the period. We recognize pool revenue on amonthly basis, when the vessel has participated in the Helios Pool during the period and the amount of poolrevenue for the month can be estimated reliably. We receive estimated vessel earnings based on the knownnumber of days the vessel has participated in the Helios Pool, the contract terms, and the estimated monthlypool revenue. We receive a report from the Helios Pool which identifies the number of days the vesselparticipated in the Helios Pool, the total pool points for the period, the total net pool revenues—related partyfor the period, and the calculated share of pool revenue for the vessel. We review the report for consistencywith each vessel’s pool agreement and vessel management records. For the year ended March 31, 2016, approximately 70.2% of our revenue was generated through the Helios Pool asnet pool revenues—related party. There were no revenues generated through pooling arrangements for the yearended March 31, 2015 and for the period July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014. Voyage Charters. A voyage charter, or spot charter, is a contract for transportation of a specified cargo between twoor more designated ports. This type of charter is priced on a current or "spot" market rate, typically on a price per tonof product carried. Under voyage charters, we are responsible for all of the voyage expenses in addition to providingthe crewing and other vessel operating services. Revenues for voyage charters are more volatile as they are typicallytied to prevailing market rates at the time of the voyage. Our gross revenue under voyage charters are generallyhigher than under comparable time charters so as to compensate us for bearing all voyage expenses. As a result, ourrevenue and voyage expenses may vary significantly depending on our mix of time charters and voyage charters.For the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the period July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014,approximately 16.0%, 74.3% and 37.8%, respectively, of our revenue was generated pursuant to voyage charters. Time Charters. A time charter is a contract under which a vessel is chartered for a defined period of time at a fixeddaily or monthly rate. Under time charters, we are responsible for providing crewing and other vessel operatingservices, the cost of which is intended to be covered by the fixed rate, while the customer is responsible forsubstantially all of the voyage expenses, including bunker fuel consumption, port expenses and canal tolls. LPG istypically transported under a time charter arrangement, with terms ranging up to seven years. In addition, we mayalso have profit sharing arrangements with some of our customers that provide for additional payments above a floormonthly rate (usually up to an agreed ceiling) based on the actual, average daily rate quoted by the Baltic Exchangefor Very Large Gas Carriers on the benchmark Ras Tanura‑Chiba route over an agreed time period converted to aTime Charter Equivalent monthly rate. For the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the period July 1,2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014, approximately 13.4%, 25.1% and 59.4%, respectively, of our revenue wasgenerated pursuant to time charters from our VLGCs not in the Helios Pool. Other Revenues. Other revenues represents income from charterers, including the Helios Pool, relating toreimbursement of expenses such as costs for security guards and war risk insurance for voyages operating high riskareas. For the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the period July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014,approximately 0.4%, 0.6% and 2.8%, respectively, of our revenue was generated pursuant to other revenues. 54 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

We define calendar days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in ourfleet was owned. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenuesand the amount of expenses that are recorded during that period. Available Days. We define available days as calendar days less aggregate off‑hire days associated with scheduledmaintenance, which include major repairs, drydockings, vessel upgrades or special or intermediate surveys. We use availabledays to measure the aggregate number of days in a period that our vessels should be capable of generating revenues. Operating Days. We define operating days as available days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels areoff‑hire for any reason other than scheduled maintenance. We use operating days to measure the number of days in a periodthat our operating vessels are on hire. Drydocking. We must periodically drydock each of our vessels for any major repairs and maintenance and forinspection of the underwater parts of the vessel that cannot be performed while the vessels are operating and for anymodifications to comply with industry certification or governmental requirements. We are required to drydock a vessel onceevery five years until it reaches fifteen years of age and thereafter every 2.5 years. We capitalize costs associated with thedrydockings and amortize these costs on a straight‑line basis over the period through the date the next survey is scheduledto become due under the "Deferral" method permitted under U.S. GAAP. Costs incurred during the drydocking period whichrelate to routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The number of drydockings undertaken in a given periodand the nature of the work performed determine the level of drydocking expenditures. Fleet Utilization. We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by thenumber of available days during that period. An increase in non‑scheduled off‑hire days would reduce our operating days,and therefore, our fleet utilization. We use fleet utilization to measure our ability to efficiently find suitable employment forour vessels. Time Charter Equivalent Rate. Time charter equivalent rate, or TCE rate, is a measure of the average daily revenueperformance of a vessel. TCE rate is a shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period‑to‑periodchanges in a shipping company’s performance despite changes in the mix of charter types (such as time charters, voyagecharters) under which the vessels may be employed between the periods. Our method of calculating TCE rate is to dividerevenue net of voyage expenses by operating days for the relevant time period. Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including bunker fuelconsumption, port expenses, canal fees, charter hire commissions, war risk insurance and security costs. Voyage expenses aretypically paid by us under voyage charters and by the charterer under time charters. Accordingly, we generally only incurvoyage expenses for our own account when performing voyage charters or during repositioning voyages between timecharters for which no cargo is available or travelling to or from drydocking. We generally bear all voyage expenses undervoyage charters and, as such, voyage expenses are generally greater under voyage charters than time charters. As a result, ourvoyage expenses may vary significantly depending on our mix of time charters and voyage charters. Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses are expenses that are not unique to a specific voyage. Vesseloperating expenses are paid by us under each of our charter types (as we do not employ our vessels on bare boat charters).Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the costs for lubricants, insurance, expenses relating torepairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses. Ourvessel operating expenses will increase with the expansion of our fleet and are subject to change because of higher crewcosts, higher insurance premiums, unexpected repair expenses and general inflation. Furthermore, we expect maintenancecosts will increase as our vessels age. Daily Vessel Operating Expenses. Daily vessel operating expenses are calculated by dividing vessel operatingexpenses by calendar days for the relevant time period. Management Fees—Related Party. Management fees to related parties ceased on June 30, 2014. They were paidpursuant to management agreements entered into by each vessel owning subsidiary with Dorian (Hellas) S.A., or55 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

DHSA provided the financial, strategic, technical, crew and commercial management as well as insurance andaccounting services to the vessel owning subsidiaries for a fee of $93,750 per vessel per month payable one month inadvance effective from July 29, 2013 through June 30, 2014. Prior to July 29, 2013, our Predecessor paid a fixed monthlymanagement fee of $40,000 per VLGC and $32,000 for our 5,000 cbm PGC. Eagle Ocean Transport Inc., or Eagle Ocean, andHighbury Shipping Services Limited, or Highbury also provided commercial and strategic services to the Predecessor. Mr.John Hadjipateras, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, owns 100% of Eagle Ocean, and our Vice Presidentof Chartering, Insurance and Legal, Nigel Grey‑Turner, owns 100% of Highbury. In addition, DHSA provided us with pre‑delivery services for each newbuilding, which included engineering andtechnical support, liaising with the shipyard, and ensuring key suppliers are integrated into the production planning processfor a fee of $15,000 per month for each newbuilding contract. The fees for pre‑delivery services were capitalized to the costof the vessels under construction. The management fees were charged on a monthly basis per vessel and newbuildingcontract and the total fees were affected by the number of vessels in our fleet and the number of newbuilding contractsmanaged. Pursuant to transition agreements that became effective on July 1, 2014, or the Transition Agreements, we pay nofurther management or pre-delivery services fees to DHSA and we have transitioned all management functions to ourwholly‑owned subsidiaries Dorian LPG Management Corp., Dorian LPG (USA) LLC, and Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. as of July 1,2014. Subsequent to the completion of this transition, no fees for such services are paid to any related parties and noconsideration is payable by us to DHSA. In addition, pursuant to the Transition Agreements, each of DHSA, Eagle Ocean, and Highbury transferred a certainnumber of employees and selected assets to our wholly‑owned subsidiaries. Subsequent to the Transition Agreements, EagleOcean continues to incur travel-related costs for certain transitioned employees as well as office-related costs. We reimbursedEagle Ocean $0.8 million and $0.7 million at cost for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Depreciation and Amortization. We depreciate our vessels on a straight‑line basis using an estimated useful life of25 years and after considering estimated salvage values. Our Predecessor used an estimated useful life of 20 years to 25 yearsdepending on the type of vessel. We amortize the cost of capitalized drydocking expenditures on a straight‑line basis over the period through thedate the next drydocking/special survey is scheduled to become due. General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses principally consist of the costsincurred in the corporate administration of the vessel and non‑vessel owning subsidiaries. Beginning July 1, 2014, weceased to incur related-party management fees as a result of the completion of the Transaction Agreements described aboveunder "Management Fees—Related Party." In June 2014, we granted 655,000 restricted stock awards to certain of our officersand in March 2015, we granted 274,000 restricted stock awards to certain of our directors, employees and non-employeeconsultants (see “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related StockholderMatters”) that vest over five years. Granting of restricted stock results in an increase in expenses. Compensation expense foremployees is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the awards and is recognized over the vestingperiod and for nonemployees is re-measured at the end of each reporting period based on the estimated fair value of theawards on that date and is recognized over the vesting period. Critical Accounting Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to makeestimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. On a regularbasis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidatedfinancial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effectscannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differencescould be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider56 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

For a description of our material accounting policies, please read Note 2 of our consolidated financialstatements included elsewhere in this report. Net pool revenues—related party. Net pool revenues—related party for each vessel in the pool is determined inaccordance with the profit sharing terms specified within the pool agreement. In particular, the pool manager calculates thenet pool revenues using gross revenues less voyage expenses of all the pool vessels and less the general and administrativeexpenses of the pool and distributes the net pool revenues as time charter hire to participants based on: ·pool points (vessel attributes such as cargo carrying capacity, fuel consumption, and construction characteristicsare taken into consideration); and ·number of days the vessel participated in the pool in the period. We recognize net pool revenues—related party on a monthly basis, when the vessel has participated in the poolduring the period and the amount of net pool revenues for the month can be estimated reliably. Vessel Depreciation. The cost of our vessels less their estimated residual value is depreciated on a straight‑linebasis over the vessels' estimated useful lives. We estimate the useful life of each of our vessels to be 25 years from the date thevessel was originally delivered from the shipyard. Based on the current market and the types of vessels we plan to purchase,we expect the residual values of our vessels will be based upon a value of approximately $400 per lightweight ton. Anincrease in the useful life of our vessels or in their residual value would have the effect of decreasing the annual depreciationcharge and extending it into later periods. An increase in the useful life of a vessel may occur as a result of superior vesselmaintenance performed, favorable ocean going and weather conditions the vessel is subjected to, superior quality of theshipbuilding or yard, or high freight market rates, which result in owners scrapping the vessels later due to the attractive cashflows. A decrease in the useful life of our vessels or in their residual value would have the effect of increasing the annualdepreciation charge and possibly result in an impairment charge. A decrease in the useful life of a vessel may occur as a resultof poor vessel maintenance performed, harsh ocean going and weather conditions the vessel is subjected to, or poor qualityof the shipbuilding or yard. However, when regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwidebasis, we will adjust the vessel's useful life to end at the date such regulations preclude such vessel's further commercial use. Impairment of long‑‑lived assets. We review our vessels and other fixed assets for impairment when events orcircumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. In addition, we compare independentappraisals to our carrying value for indicators of impairment to our vessels. When such indicators are present, an asset istested for recoverability by comparing the estimate of future undiscounted net operating cash flows expected to be generatedby the use of the asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition to its carrying amount. An impairmentcharge is recognized if the carrying value is in excess of the estimated future undiscounted net operating cash flows. Theimpairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair market value of the asset. The new lowercost basis would result in a lower annual depreciation than before the impairment. Our estimates of fair market value assume that our vessels are all in good and seaworthy condition without need forrepair and if inspected would be certified in class without notations of any kind. Our estimates are based on informationavailable from various industry sources, including: ·reports by industry analysts and data providers that focus on our industry and related dynamics affectingvessel values; ·news and industry reports of similar vessel sales; ·approximate market values for our vessels or similar vessels that we have received from shipbrokers, whethersolicited or unsolicited, or that shipbrokers have generally disseminated; ·offers that we may have received from potential purchasers of our vessels; and57 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

As we obtain information from various industry and other sources, our estimates of fair market value are inherentlyuncertain. In addition, vessel values are highly volatile; as such, our estimates may not be indicative of the current or futurefair market value of our vessels or prices that we could achieve if we were to sell them. For the year ended March 31, 2016, independent appraisals of four of our VLGCs had indicators of impairment inaccordance with ASC 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment. We determined estimated net operating cash flows for theseVLGCs by applying various assumptions regarding future time charter equivalent revenues net of commissions, operatingexpenses, scheduled drydockings, expected offhire and scrap values. These assumptions were based on historical data as wellas future expectations. We estimated spot market rates used are based on the trailing 10-year historical average spot marketrates based on average rates published by maritime industry researchers. Estimated outflows for operating expenses anddrydocking expenses were based on historical and budgeted costs and were adjusted for assumed inflation. Utilization wasbased on our historical levels achieved in the spot market and estimates of a residual value consistent with scrap rates used inmanagement's evaluation of scrap value. Such estimates and assumptions regarding expected net operating cash flows requireconsiderable judgment and were based upon historical experience, financial forecasts and industry trends and conditions.Therefore, based on this analysis, we concluded that no impairment charge was necessary because we believe the vesselcarrying values are recoverable. No impairment charges were recognized for the year ended March 31, 2016. In addition, we performed a sensitivity analysis as of March 31, 2016, to determine the effect on recoverability ofchanges in daily TCE rates. The sensitivity analysis suggests that we would not incur an impairment charge on any of thosefour VLGCs if daily TCE rates fell by 30% compared to the 10-year historical average spot market rates. An impairmentcharge of approximately $4.9 million on those four VLGCs would be triggered by a reduction of 40% in the 10-yearhistorical average spot market rates. The amount, if any, and timing of any impairment charges we may recognize in thefuture will depend upon then current and expected future charter rates and vessel values, which may differ materially fromthose used in our estimates as of March 31, 2016. For the year ended March 31, 2015, an independent appraisal of our PGC vessel indicated impairment and,therefore, we determined estimated net operating cash flows for our PGC vessel by applying the above methodology with theexception of utilizing 6-year historical average spot market rates. Management believes the use of estimates based on the 6-year historical average rates calculated as of the reporting date was reasonable for our PGC vessel as the vessel had aremaining useful life of six years. We recognized an impairment loss of $1.4 million for our PGC vessel to its fair value of$4.0 million, which resulted from the prolonged market weaknesses continuing into the fourth fiscal quarter in the yearended March 31, 2015, in the market for shipping petro-chemical gases, an important trade for PGC vessels.

On an aggregate fleet basis, the estimated marketvalue of our vessels exceeded their carrying value as of March 31, 2016 by $31.3 million. No impairment wasrecorded during the year ended March 31, 2016 as we believe that the carrying value of our vessels is fullyrecoverable. (2)With the exception of the Grendon as of March 31, 2015 (refer to 4 below), the carrying value of each of our vesselswas lower than its estimated market value as of March 31, 2015.

We believe that the aggregate carrying value of these vessels exceeds their aggregate estimated fair value by$4.9 million as of March 31, 2016. However, as described above, the estimated net operating cash flows for each ofthe four VLGCs was higher than the carrying amount and consequently, no impairment loss was recognized.

We must periodically drydock each of our vessels to comply with industrystandards, regulatory requirements and certifications. We are required to drydock a vessel once every five years until itreaches 15 years of age, after which we are required to drydock the applicable vessel every 2.5 years. Drydocking costs are accounted under the deferral method whereby the actual costs incurred are deferred and areamortized on a straight‑line basis over the period through the date the next drydocking is scheduled to become due. Costsdeferred include expenditures incurred relating to shipyard costs, hull preparation and painting, inspection of hull structureand mechanical components, steelworks, machinery works, and electrical works. Drydocking costs do not include vesseloperating expenses such as replacement parts, crew expenses, provisions, luboil consumption, insurance, management fees ormanagement costs during the drydock period. Expenses related to regular maintenance and repairs of our vessels areexpensed as incurred, even if such maintenance and repair occurs during the same time period as our drydocking. If a drydocking is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediatelywritten off. Unamortized balances of vessels that are sold are written‑off and included in the calculation of the resulting gainor loss in the period of the vessel's sale. The nature of the work performed and the number of drydockings undertaken in agiven period determine the level of drydocking expenditures. Fair Value of Derivative Instruments. We use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risks. The fairvalue of our interest rate swap agreements is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreementsat the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the current credit worthiness of both us and the swapcounterparties. The estimated amount is the present value of estimated future cash flows, being equal to the differencebetween the benchmark interest rate and the fixed rate in the interest rate swap agreement, multiplied by the notionalprincipal amount of the interest rate swap agreement at each interest reset date The fair value of our interest swap agreements at the end of each period are most significantly affected by theinterest rate implied by the LIBOR interest yield curve, including its relative steepness. Interest rates have experiencedsignificant volatility in recent years in both the short and long term. While the fair value of our interest rate swap agreementsare typically more sensitive to changes in short‑term rates, significant changes in the long‑term benchmark interest rates alsomaterially impact our interest. The fair value of our interest swap agreements is also affected by changes in our own and our counterparty specificcredit risk included in the discount factor. Our estimate of our counterparty's credit risk is based on the credit default swapspread of the relevant counterparty which is publicly available. The process of determining our own credit worthinessrequires significant judgment in determining which source of credit risk information most closely matches our risk profile,which includes consideration of the margin we would be able to secure for future financing. A 10% increase / decrease in ourown or our counterparty credit risk would not have had a significant impact on the fair value of our interest rate swaps. The LIBOR interest rate yield curve and our specific credit risk are expected to vary over the life of the interest rateswap agreements. The larger the notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements outstanding and the longer theremaining duration of the interest rate swap agreements, the larger the impact of any variability in these factors will be on thefair value of our interest rate swaps. We economically hedge the interest rate exposure on a significant amount of ourlong‑term debt and for long durations. As such, we have experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, materialvariations in the period‑to‑period fair value of our derivative instruments. Although we measure the fair value of our derivative instruments utilizing the inputs and assumptions describedabove, if we were to terminate the interest rate swap agreements at the reporting date, the amount we would pay or receive toterminate the derivative instruments may differ from our estimate of fair value. If the estimated fair value differs from theactual termination amount, an adjustment to the carrying amount of the applicable derivative asset or liability would berecognized in earnings for the current period. Such adjustments could be material. 60 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The increase is primarily attributable to $162.2 million of revenuescontributed by sixteen of our newbuilding VLGCs that were delivered subsequent to March 31, 2015. Additionally, revenuescontributed by VLGCs in our operating fleet during both periods increased $21.8 million resulting from employment of2,101 operating days during the year ended March 31, 2016 compared to 1,512 operating days during the year ended March31, 2015. The Grendon’s revenues increased $1.1 million to $2.9 million on 224 operating days for the year ended March 31,2016 from $1.8 million on 140 operating days for the year ended March 31, 2015. For the year ended March 31, 2016, nineteen of our VLGCs operated within the Helios Pool, including one VLGCthat left the Helios Pool to begin a long-term time charter in July 2015, and our VLGCs with the Helios Pool earned net poolrevenues—related party of $202.9 million. Four of our VLGCs operated in the spot market outside of the Helios Pool andearned $43.3 million in voyage charter revenues and four of our VLGCs earned time charter revenues amounting to $38.7million during the year ended March 31, 2016. For the year ended March 31, 2015, four of our VLGCs operated in the spotmarket and earned $76.1 million in voyage charter revenues, and three of our VLGCs earned time charter revenues during theperiod amounting to $25.5 million, including a VLGC that ended its time charter on July 27, 2014. Time charter revenuesincluded $7.8 million of profit sharing for the year ended March 31, 2015. Voyage Expenses Voyage expenses were $12.1 million during the year ended March 31, 2016 a decrease of $10.0 million, or 45.4%,from $22.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in the number ofvessels operating on voyage charters as a result of vessels operating in the Helios Pool as well as decreases in fuel prices.These decreases resulted in decreases in bunker costs of $8.4 million, port expenses of $1.0 million and other voyageexpenses of $0.6 million. Voyage expenses during the year ended March 31, 2016 mainly related to bunkers of $7.2 million,port charges and other related expenses of $2.6 million, brokers’ commissions of $1.3 million, security costs of $0.4 millionand other voyage expenses of $0.6 million. Voyage expenses during the year ended March 31, 2015 mainly related tobunkers of $15.7 million, port charges and other related expenses of $3.6 million, brokers’ commissions of $1.7 million,security costs of $0.7 million and other voyage expenses of $0.4 million. Vessel Operating Expenses Vessel operating expenses were $47.1 million during the year ended March 31, 2016, or $8,581 per vessel percalendar day, which is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by calendar days for the relevant time period for thevessels that were in our fleet. This was an increase of $25.8 million, or 121.7%, from $21.3 million or $10,703 per vessel percalendar day, for the year ended March 31, 2015. This increase is primarily the result of an increase of $24.0 million of vesseloperating expenses attributable to sixteen of our ECO VLGCs that were delivered subsequent to March 31, 2015.Additionally, vessel operating expenses increased $1.8 million for the seven vessels that were in our fleet during bothperiods resulting from 2,518 calendar days during the year ended March 31, 2016 compared to 1,986 calendar days61 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of Contentsduring the year ended March 31, 2015. The decline in vessel operating expenses per vessel per calendar day during the yearended March 31, 2016 was largely due to the addition of newer vessels, which incur lower operating costs, along with a $0.5million reduction in costs relating to the training of additional crew when compared to the year ended March 31, 2015. Management Fees—Related Party Beginning July 1, 2014, we ceased to incur these related-party management fees as a result of the completion of theTransition Agreements described above in “Important Financial and Operational Terms and Concepts—Management Fees—Related Party.” Management fees expensed for the year ended March 31, 2015 represent fees charged by DHSA amounting toapproximately $1.1 million in accordance with our management agreements entered into with DHSA. The management feeswere charged on a monthly basis per vessel and the total fees were affected by the number of vessels in our fleet. Nomanagement fees—related party were incurred during the year ended March 31, 2016. Impairment We did not incur any impairment charges during the year ended March 31, 2016. In the year ended March 31, 2015,we recognized an impairment loss of $1.4 million for our owned PGC vessel. This impairment loss was triggered byreductions in vessel values reflecting challenging conditions in the PGC market, and represented the difference between thecarrying value and recoverable amount, being fair value. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization was approximately $42.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2016, an increase of$28.5 million, or 202.2%, from $14.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to$23.8 million of depreciation and amortization related to sixteen of our ECO VLGCs that were delivered subsequent toMarch 31, 2015. Additionally, there was an increase of $4.7 million for the six VLGCs that were in our fleet during bothyears resulting from an increase in VLGC calendar days from 1,621 during the year ended March 31, 2015 to 2,196 duringthe year ended March 31, 2016. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses were $29.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $15.7million, or 110.9%, from $14.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2015 mainly due to compensation-related increases of$8.9 million for salaries, wages and benefits (primarily due to an increase of $5.1 million relating to cash bonuses to variousemployees relating to the year ended March 31, 2016, as well as prior periods, were granted and expensed in the year endedMarch 31, 2016), $1.7 million for stock-based compensation, and $0.5 million in directors fees. Additionally, increases inconjunction with the build out of our operations amounted to $3.0 million for certain non-capitalizable costs incurred priorto vessel delivery including crew costs prior to initial voyage, $0.3 million in information technology and $1.3 million forother general and administrative expenses. During the year ended March 31, 2016, general and administrative expenses werecomprised of $15.3 million of salaries and benefits (inclusive of the $3.0 million expense, approved by the board of directorsin March 2016, for cash bonuses relating to the year ended March 31, 2016, and $2.1 million in cash bonuses, approved bythe board of directors in May 2015, to various employees for services related to prior periods), $4.1 million of stock-basedcompensation, $3.4 million for certain non-capitalizable costs incurred prior to vessel delivery, $2.5 million for professional,legal, audit and accounting fees and $4.5 million of other general and administrative expenses. During the year ended March31, 2015, general and administrative expenses were comprised of $6.4 million of salaries and benefits (inclusive of a $0.4million accrual for statutory retirement benefits for our Greece-based employees), $2.4 million for professional, legal, auditand accounting fees, $2.3 million of stock-based compensation and $3.0 million of other general and administrativeexpenses. 62 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

There was no loss on disposal of assets for the year ended March 31, 2015. Other income —related parties Other income —related parties amounted to $1.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $1.8million from $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to $1.4 million of feesfor commercial management services provided by Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd. to the Helios Pool as well an increase of $0.5 millionfor certain chartering and marine operation services provided by Dorian LPG (USA) LLC and its subsidiaries to DHSA. Interest and Finance Costs Interest and finance costs amounted to $12.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $12.5million from $0.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2015. The increase of $12.5 million during this period was mainlydue to a $13.8 million increase in interest incurred on our long-term debt, amortization and other financing expenses from$3.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2015 to $17.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2016. These increases werepartially offset by a $1.3 million increase in capitalized interest from $3.5 million in the year ended March 31, 2015 to $4.8million in the year ended March 31, 2016. The average indebtedness during the year ended March 31, 2016 was $543.1million compared to $125.9 million during the year ended March 31, 2015, reflecting debt drawdowns of $676.8 millionmade under our 2015 Debt Facility. The outstanding balance of our long term debt as of March 31, 2016 was $836.4 million. Loss on Derivatives, net Loss on derivatives, net was $15.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $11.8 million, or298.5%, compared to $4.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase inunrealized losses from the changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps of $10.2 million during the year ended March31, 2016 compared to the year ended March 31, 2015. Additionally, the increase is attributable to an increase of $1.6 millionof realized loss due to an increase in the notional debt amounts during the year ended March 31, 2016 compared the yearended March 31, 2015. The net loss on derivatives for the year ended March 31, 2016 was comprised of an unrealized loss of$8.9 million from the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps due mainly to changes in yield curves along with arealized loss of $6.9 million due mainly to an increase in notional debt amounts due to four new interest rate swaps weentered into during the period. For the year ended March 31, 2015, the net loss on derivatives was primarily comprised of arealized loss of $5.3 million, partially offset by an unrealized gain of $1.3 million from the changes in the fair value of theinterest rate swaps. Foreign Currency Gain/(Loss), net Foreign currency gain/(loss), net amounted to a net loss of approximately $0.3 million for the year endedMarch 31, 2016. This was a decrease in the loss of $0.7 million, or 65.7%, compared to a loss of $1.0 million for the yearended March 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily attributable to unrealized losses from cash held in Norwegian Krone duringthe year ended March 31, 2015 that did not recur during the year ended March 31, 2016. For the year ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the period from July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014 The Company remained substantially inactive for the period from July 1, 2013 until July 29, 2013, the date of ourbusiness combination with the Predecessor Businesses of Dorian LPG Ltd. Because we acquired three VLGC vessels duringthe year ended March 31, 2015 and the period from July 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014 included only eight months ofactive operations, we do not believe that the results of operations of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2015 and forthe period July 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014 are directly comparable. 63 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $42.6 million contributed by thefour vessels that were in our fleet during both periods resulting from increases in charter rates and the number of these vesselsoperating in the spot market, as well as employment of 1,173 operating days during the year ended March 31, 2015compared to 941 operating days during the period from July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014. Additionally, $31.9million of revenues were contributed by three of our ECO VLGCs that were delivered subsequent to March 31, 2014. For theyear ended March 31, 2015, four of our VLGCs operated in the spot market and earned $76.1 million in voyage charterrevenues. Three of our VLGCs earned time charter revenues during the period amounting to $25.5 million, including a VLGCthat ended its time charter on July 27, 2014. Time charter revenues included $7.8 million of profit sharing. For the year endedMarch 31, 2015, the Grendon, whose time charter expired at the end of May 2014, earned $1.8 million of revenues, had 140operating days and was in drydock for 10 days. Revenues of $29.6 million for the period July 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014represent charter hire and voyage charters earned for our three VLGC vessels and our PGC. Revenues from time charter hireearned for our two VLGC vessels and the Grendon amounted to $17.8 million, of which $6.1 million represented profitsharing, and revenues from voyage charter for one VLGC vessel amounted to $11.8 million. The Captain Nicholas ML was indrydock for the period from August 28, 2013 to September 14, 2013 and did not earn revenue during this time. Voyage Expenses Voyage expenses were approximately $22.1 million during the year ended March 31, 2015, an increase of $15.4million, or 231.0%, from $6.7 million for the period from July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014. The increase isprimarily attributable to an increase of $9.6 million for the four vessels that were in our fleet during both periods resultingfrom an increase in the number of these vessels operating in the spot market as well as employment of 1,173 operating daysduring the year ended March 31, 2015 compared to 941 operating days during the period from July 1, 2013 (inception) toMarch 31, 2014. Additionally, $5.7 million of voyage expenses were attributable to three of our ECO VLGCs that weredelivered subsequent to March 31, 2014. Voyage expenses during the year ended March 31, 2015 mainly related to bunkersof $15.7 million, port charges and other related expenses of $3.6 million, brokers’ commissions of $1.7 million, security costsof $0.7 million and other voyage expenses of $0.4 million. Voyage expenses were approximately $6.7 million during theperiod July 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 and mainly related to bunkers of $5.3 million, port charges of $0.6 million, brokers'commissions of $0.4 million, security costs of $0.3 million, and other voyage expenses of $0.1 million. Vessel Operating Expenses Vessel operating expenses were approximately $21.3 million during the year ended March 31, 2015, or $10,703 pervessel per calendar day, which is calculated by dividing vessel operating expenses by calendar days for the relevant timeperiod.

Vessel operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2015 included approximately $2.9million relating to training of additional crew on our operating VLGC fleet in anticipation of newbuilding deliveries. TheGrendon, which ended its time charter at the end of May 2014, had 140 operating days and was in drydock for 10 days forthe year ended March 31, 2015. The Grendon had $2.8 million of vessel operating expenses, inclusive of $0.5 million ofexpenses related to repairs and maintenance, for the year ended March 31, 2015. Management Fees—Related Party For the year ended March 31, 2015, management fees—related party decreased $2.0 million, or 64.0%, from theperiod from July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014. Beginning July 1, 2014, we ceased to incur these related-partymanagement fees as a result of the completion of the Transition Agreements described above in “Important Financial andOperational Terms and Concepts—Management Fees—Related Party.” Management fees expensed for the year ended March31, 2015 represent fees charged by DHSA amounting to approximately $1.1 million in accordance with our managementagreements entered into with DHSA. The management fees were charged on a monthly basis per vessel and the total fees wereaffected by the number of vessels in our fleet. Management fees expensed for the period July 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014represent fees charged by DHSA amounting to approximately $3.0 million representing $93,750 per vessel per month and$0.1 million for Management fees relating to pre-delivery services, both in accordance with our management agreementsentered into with DHSA. The management fees were charged on a monthly basis per vessel and the total fees were affected bythe number of vessels in our fleet. ImpairmentIn the year ended March 31, 2015, we recognized an impairment loss of $1.4 million for our owned PGC vessel. Thisimpairment loss was triggered by reductions in vessel values reflecting challenging conditions in the PGC market, andrepresented the difference between the carrying value and recoverable amount, being fair value. We did not incur anyimpairment charges during the period from July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization was approximately $14.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2015 and mainlyrelates to depreciation expense for our operating vessels, which represented an increase of $7.5 million, or 112.9%, from $6.6million for the period from July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to $4.1 millionof depreciation and amortization related to three of our ECO VLGCs that were delivered subsequent to March 31, 2014.Additionally, there was an increase of $3.4 million for the four vessels that were in our fleet during both periods resultingfrom an increase in calendar days from 984 during the period from July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014 to 1,460during the year ended March 31, 2015.

We anticipate satisfying these needs withcash on hand, cash from operations and/or debt financings. Our dividend policy will also impact our future liquidity position. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits thepayment of dividends other than from surplus or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by thepayment of such a dividend. In addition, under the terms of our credit facilities, we may only declare or pay any dividendsfrom our free cash flow and may not do so if i) an event of default is occurring or ii) the payment of such dividend wouldresult in an event of default. Our vessel owning subsidiaries who are party to the RBS Loan Facility, as described in Note 11to our consolidated financial statements, are prohibited from paying dividends without the consent of the lender. As part of our growth strategy, we will continue to consider strategic opportunities, including the acquisition ofadditional vessels and repurchases of our own securities. We may choose to pursue such opportunities through internalgrowth or joint ventures or business acquisitions. We expect to finance the purchase price of any additional futureacquisitions and our operations either through internally generated funds, debt financings (public or private), the issuance ofadditional equity securities (public or private) or a combination of these forms of financing.

Capital Expenditures. LPG transportation is a capital‑intensive business, requiring significant investment tomaintain an efficient fleet and to stay in regulatory compliance. We are required to complete a special survey for a vessel once every five years until 15 years of age and thereafterevery 2.5 years and an intermediate survey every 2.5 years after the first special survey. Drydocking each vessel takesapproximately 10‑20 days. We spend significant amounts for scheduled drydocking (including the cost of classificationsociety surveys) for each of our vessels. As our vessels age and our fleet expands, our drydocking expenses will increase. We estimate the current cost of aVLGC special survey to be approximately $1,000,000 and the cost of an intermediate survey to be approximately69 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Description of Our Debt Obligations See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for a description of our debt obligations. Compliance with New Accounting Standards We have elected to “opt out” of the extended transition period relating to the exemption from new or revisedfinancial accounting standards under the JOBS Act and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised financial accountingstandards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non‑emerging growth companies. Section107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new orrevised financial accounting standards is irrevocable.

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations, as well as inflation.We use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks, but will not use these financial instruments for trading or speculativepurposes. 70 (1)(2)Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsInterest Rate Risk The LPG shipping industry is capital intensive, requiring significant amounts of investment. Much of thisinvestment is provided in the form of long term debt. Our debt agreements contain interest rates that fluctuate with LIBOR.We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge a majority of our exposure to fluctuations of interest rate riskassociated with our RBS Debt Facility. As of March 31, 2016 we hedged approximately 99% of our RBS Loan Facility tochanges in interest rates and as a result we were not materially exposed to interest rate risk on the RBS Loan Facility. Wehave hedged $250 million of non-amortizing principal and $206.4 million of amortizing principal of the 2015 Debt Facilityas of March 31, 2016 and thus increasing interest rates could adversely impact our future earnings. For the 12 monthsfollowing March 31, 2016, a hypothetical increase or decrease of 20 basis points in the underlying LIBOR rates would resultin an increase or decrease of our interest expense on our non-hedged interest bearing debt by approximately $0.5 millionassuming all other variables are held constant. See Notes 11 and 20 to our audited consolidated financial statements includedelsewhere in this report for a description of our debt obligations and interest rate swaps, respectively. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Our primary economic environment is the international LPG shipping market. This market utilizes the U.S. dollar asits functional currency. Consequently, our revenues are in U.S. dollars and the majority of our operating expenses are in U.S.dollars. However, we incur some of our expenses in other currencies, particularly the Euro, Norwegian Krone, British PoundSterling, the Japanese Yen and the Singapore Dollar. The amount and frequency of some of these expenses, such as vesselrepairs, supplies and stores, may fluctuate from period to period. Depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to othercurrencies will increase the cost of us paying such expenses. For the year ended March 31, 2016, 16% of our expenses,(excluding depreciation and amortization, interest and finance costs and gain/loss on derivatives), were in currencies otherthan the U.S. dollar, and as a result we expect the foreign exchange risk associated with these operating expenses to beimmaterial. We do not have foreign exchange exposure in respect of our credit facility and interest rate swap agreements, asthese are denominated in U.S. dollars. The portion of our business conducted in other currencies could increase in the future, which could expand ourexposure to losses arising from currency fluctuations. Inflation Certain of our operating expenses, including crewing, insurance and drydocking costs, are subject to fluctuations asa result of market forces. Crewing costs in particular have risen over the past number of years as a result of a shortage oftrained crews. Please read "Item 1A. Risk Factors—We may be unable to attract and retain key management personnel andother employees in the shipping industry without incurring substantial expense as a result of rising crew costs, which maynegatively affect the effectiveness of our management and our results of operations." A shortage of qualified officers makes itmore difficult to crew our vessels and may increase our operating costs. If this shortage were to continue or worsen, it mayimpair our ability to operate and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.Inflationary pressures on bunker (fuel and oil) costs could have a material effect on our future operations if the number ofvessels employed on voyage charters increases. In the case of any vessels that are time‑chartered to third parties, it is thecharterers who pay for the fuel. If our vessels are employed under voyage charters, freight rates are generally sensitive to theprice of fuel. However, a sharp rise in bunker prices may have a temporary negative effect on our results since freight ratesgenerally adjust only after prices settle at a higher level. Please read "Item 1A. Risk Factors—Changes in fuel, or bunker,prices may adversely affect profits.” Forward Freight Agreements From time to time, we may take hedging or speculative positions in derivative instruments, including FFAs. Theusage of such derivatives can lead to fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period-to-periodbasis. During the year ended March 31, 2016, we had no open FFA positions. 71 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIALDISCLOSURE. None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, hasevaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e)and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based onthis evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2016.Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to bedisclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits to the Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded,processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Commission rules and forms and that suchinformation is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control overfinancial reporting, as defined in the Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an evaluation of ourthe effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—IntegratedFramework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Ourinternal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of recordsthat, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonableassurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with USGAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made in accordance with authorizations of our management anddirectors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use ordisposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations ofinternal controls over financial reporting, misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also,projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subjectto the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance withthe policies or procedures may deteriorate. Based on the evaluation, management concluded that our internal control overfinancial reporting is effective as of March 31, 2016. In accordance with the Jumpstart Our Businesses Startups Act of 2012 as an emerging growth company, we areexempt from the requirement to obtain an attestation report from our independent registered public accounting firm on theassessment of our internal controls pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or personsperforming similar functions has determined that no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as that term isdefined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of our fiscal yearended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control overfinancial reporting. 72 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

In addition, the design of disclosure controls and our internal control over financialreporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment inevaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Our responsibility is to express an opinionon these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (UnitedStates). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thefinancial 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 financialreporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose ofexpressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosuresin the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as wellas evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for ouropinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DorianLPG Ltd. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each ofthe two years in the period ended March 31, 2016 and for the period July 1, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2014, inconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Deloitte Hadjipavlou, Sofianos & Cambanis S.A.Athens, GreeceMay 27, 2016F-1 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Significant Accounting Policies (a)Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of theCompany and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries. Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of duringthe period are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition and up tothe effective date of disposal, as appropriate. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. (b)Use of estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires managementto make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure ofcontingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues andexpenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c)Other comprehensive income/(loss): The Company follows the accounting guidance relating to ComprehensiveIncome, which requires separate presentation of certain transactions that are recorded directly as components ofstockholders’ equity. The Company has no other comprehensive income/(loss) and accordingly, comprehensiveincome/(loss) equals net income/(loss) for the periods presented and thus has not presented this in the statement ofoperations or in a separate statement. (d)Foreign currency translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. Foreign currencytransactions are measured and recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the date of thetransaction. As of balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other thanthe functional currency are adjusted to reflect the exchange rate at the balance sheet date and any gains or losses areincluded in the statement of operations. For the periods presented, the Company had no foreign currency derivativeinstruments. (e)Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits andcertificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.F-8 (2)Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of Contents (f)Trade receivables, net and accrued revenues: Trade receivables, net and accrued revenues, reflect receivables fromvessel charters, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectibleaccounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts.Provision for doubtful accounts for the periods presented was zero. (g)Due from related parties: Due from related parties reflect receivables from Helios Pool, and other related parties.Distributions of earnings due from the Helios Pool are classified as current and working capital contributed to theHelios Pool is classified as non-current. (h)Inventories: Inventories consist of bunkers on board the vessels when vessels are unemployed or are operatingunder voyage charters and lubricants and stores on board the vessels. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost ormarket. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. (i)Vessels, net: Vessels, net are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. The costs of thevessels acquired as part of a business acquisition are recorded at their fair value on the date of acquisition. The costof vessels purchased consists of the contract price, less discounts, plus any direct expenses incurred uponacquisition, including improvements, commission paid, delivery expenses and other expenditures to prepare thevessel for her initial voyage. The initial purchase of LPG coolant for the refrigeration of cargo is also capitalized.Allocated interest costs incurred during construction are capitalized. Subsequent expenditures for conversions andmajor improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity orimprove the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. (j)Impairment of long‑lived assets: The Company reviews their vessels “held and used” for impairment wheneverevents or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When theestimate of future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of theasset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is evaluated for an impairment loss. Measurement of the impairmentloss is based on the fair value of the asset. (k)Vessel depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful life of thevessels, after considering the estimated salvage value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of itslightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of its vessels to be 25 years fromthe date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisitionthrough their remaining estimated useful life. (l)Drydocking and special survey costs: Drydocking and special survey costs are accounted under the deferral methodwhereby the actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight‑line basis over the period through thedate the next survey is scheduled to become due. We are required to drydock each of our vessels every five yearsuntil it reaches 15 years of age, after which we are required to drydock the applicable vessel every 2.5 years. Costsdeferred are limited to actual costs incurred at the yard and parts used in the drydocking or special survey. Costsdeferred include expenditures incurred relating to shipyard costs, hull preparation and painting, inspection of hullstructure and mechanical components, steelworks, machinery works, and electrical works. If a survey is performedprior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. Unamortized balancesof vessels that are sold are written‑off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the period of thevessel’s sale. The amortization charge is presented within Depreciation and amortization in the consolidatedstatement of operations. (m)Financing costs: Financing costs incurred for obtaining new loans and credit facilities are deferred and amortizedto interest expense over the respective term of the loan or credit facility using the effective interest rate method. Anyunamortized balance of costs relating to loans repaid or refinanced is expensed in the period the repayment orrefinancing is made, subject to the accounting guidance regarding Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments. Anyunamortized balance of costs related to credit facilities repaid is expensed in the period. Any unamortized balanceof costs relating to credit facilities refinanced are deferred and amortized over the term of the respective creditfacility in the period the refinancing occurs, subject to the provisions of the accountingF-9 Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The unamortized financing costs are reflected inDeferred charges in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. (n)Restricted cash: Restricted cash represents minimum liquidity to be maintained with certain banks under ourborrowing arrangements and a pledged cash deposit. The restricted cash is classified as non-current in the event thatits obligation is not expected to be terminated within the next twelve months as they are long-term in nature. (o)Revenues and expenses: Revenue is recognized when an agreement exists, the vessel is made available to thecharterer or services are provided, the charter hire is determinable and collection of the related revenue is reasonablyassured. Net pool revenue: As from April 1, 2015, we began operation of a pool. Net pool revenues—related party for eachvessel in the pool is determined in accordance with the profit sharing terms specified within the pool agreement. Inparticular, the pool manager calculates the net pool revenues using gross revenues less voyage expenses of all thepool vessels and less the general and administrative expenses of the pool and distributes the net pool revenues astime charter hire to participants based on: ·pool points (vessel attributes such as cargo carrying capacity, fuel consumption, and speed are taken intoconsideration); and ·number of days the vessel participated in the pool in the period. We recognize net pool revenues—related party on a monthly basis, when the vessel has participated in the poolduring the period and the amount of net pool revenues for the month can be estimated reliably. Voyage charter revenue: Under a voyage charter, the revenues are recognized on a pro‑rata basis over the durationof the voyage determined on a discharge—to discharge port basis but the Company does not begin recognizingrevenue until a charter has been agreed to by the customer and the Company, even if the vessel has discharged itscargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port for its next voyage. In the event a vessel is acquired or sold while avoyage is in progress, the revenue recognized is based on an allocation formula agreed between the buyer and theseller. Demurrage income represents payments by the charterer to the vessel owner when loading or discharging timeexceeds the stipulated time in the voyage charter and is recognized when earned and collection is reasonablyassured. Despatch expense represents payments by the Company to the charterer when loading or discharging timeis less than the stipulated time in the voyage charter and is recognized as incurred. Voyage charter revenue relatingto voyages in progress as of the balance sheet date are accrued and presented in Trade receivables and accruedrevenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Time charter revenue: Time charter revenues are recorded ratably over the term of the charter as service isprovided. Time charter revenues received in advance of the provision of charter service are recorded as deferredincome and recognized when the charter service is rendered. Deferred income or accrued revenue also may resultfrom straight‑line revenue recognition in respect of charter agreements that provide for varying charter rates.Deferred income and accrued revenue amounts that will be recognized within the next twelve months are presentedas current, with amounts to be recognized thereafter presented as non‑current. Revenues earned through the profitsharing arrangements in the time charters represent contingent rental revenues that are recognized when earned andamounts are reasonably assured based on estimates provided by the charterer. Commissions: Charter hire commissions to brokers or managers, if any, are deferred and amortized over the relatedcharter period and are included in Voyage expenses. Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses are accounted for as incurred on the accrual basis. Vesseloperating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs andmaintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores and other miscellaneous expenses.

Such costs are included in Vessel operating expenses. (q)Stock-based compensation: Stock-based payments to employees and directors are determined based on their grantdate fair values and are amortized against income over the vesting period. The fair value is considered to be theclosing price recorded on the grant date. We account for restricted stock award forfeitures upon occurrence. (r)Stock repurchases: We record the repurchase of our shares of common stock at cost based on the settlement date ofthe transaction. These shares are classified as treasury stock, which is a reduction to stockholders’ equity. Treasuryshares are included in authorized and issued shares but excluded from outstanding shares. (s)Segment reporting: Each of the Company’s vessels serve the same type of customer, have similar operations andmaintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment, and are subject to similar economiccharacteristics. Based on this, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment, theinternational transportation of liquid petroleum gas with its fleet of vessels. Furthermore, when the Companycharters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, the disclosure ofgeographic information is impracticable. (t)Derivative instruments: All derivatives are stated at their fair value, as either a derivative asset or a liability. The fairvalue of the interest rate derivatives is based on a discounted cash flow analysis and their fair value changes arerecognized in current period earnings. When the derivatives do qualify for hedge accounting, depending upon thenature of the hedge, changes in fair value of the derivatives are either recognized in current period earnings or inother comprehensive income/(loss) (effective portion) until the hedged item is recognized in the consolidatedstatements of operations. For the periods presented, no derivatives were accounted for as accounting hedges. (u)Fair value of financial instruments: In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to FairValue Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of thefollowing three categories: Level 1:Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.Level 2:Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.Level 3:Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. (v)Recent accounting pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amendedits accounting guidance for revenue recognition. The fundamental principles of the new guidance are thatcompanies should recognize revenue in a manner that reflects the timing of the transfer of services to customers andconsideration that a company expects to receive for the services provided. It also requires additional disclosuresnecessary for the financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue andcash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, and shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presentedor as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, early adoption is permitted, but not before thebeginning of 2017. We are currently assessing the impact the amended guidance will have on our financialstatements. In February 2015, the FASB issued accounting guidance amending consolidation analysis which focuses on theconsolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidatecertain legal entities. This new standard simplifies consolidation accounting by reducing the number ofconsolidation models and providing incremental benefits to stakeholders. In addition, the new standard places moreemphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest, reduces the frequency of the applicationof related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (a “VIE”),and changes consolidation conclusion for public and private companies in several industries that typically makeuse of limited partnerships or VIEs.

The amendedguidance will have no impact on our financial statements. In April 2015, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to update the guidance related to thepresentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires debt issuance costs, related to a recognized debt liability,be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability ratherthan being presented as an asset. This pronouncement is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2015 and interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. We will adoptthis pronouncement on April 1, 2016 and the amount of debt issuance costs that would be classified on our balancesheet as a reduction of debt was $23.7 million as of March 31, 2016 and $13.3 million as of March 31, 2015. In July 2015, the FASB issued accounting guidance requiring entities to measure most inventory at the lower of costand net realizable value. The pronouncement is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. We are currently assessing the impact theamended guidance will have on our financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to update the requirements of financial accounting andreporting for lessees and lessors. The updated guidance, for lease terms of more than 12 months, will require a dualapproach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases.Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and acorresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of theright-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. Lessoraccounting remains largely unchanged. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach forall leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transitionrelief. The pronouncement is effective prospectively for public business entities for annual periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2018, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. Weare currently assessing the impact the amended guidance will have on our financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance to simplify the requirements of accounting for share-basedpayment transactions. The guidance simplifies the accounting for taxes related to stock-based compensation,including adjustments to how excess tax benefits and an entity’s payments for tax withholdings should beclassified. Additionally, an entity may make an entity-wide policy election to either estimate the number of awardsthat are expected to vest or account for forfeitures when they occur. The pronouncement is effective for annualperiods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period with early adoptionpermitted in any interim or annual period. We have early adopted this pronouncement for the year ended March 31,2016 and have made the entity-wide policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur, which resulted in usrecognizing an additional $0.1 million of stock-based compensation for the year ended March 31, 2016. 3.

(f)Helios LPG Pool LLC (“Helios Pool”): On April 1, 2015, Dorian and Phoenix began operations of the Helios Pooland entered into pool participation agreements for the purpose of establishing and operating, as charterer, under avariable rate time charter to be entered into with owners or disponent owners of VLGCs, a commercial pool ofVLGCs whereby revenues and expenses are shared as described in Note 2 above. We hold a 50% interest in theHelios Pool as a joint venture with Phoenix and all significant rights and obligations are equally shared by bothparties. All profits of the Helios Pool are distributed to the pool participants based on pool points assigned to eachvessel as variable charter hire (refer to Note 2 above) and, as a result, there are no profits available to the equityinvestors as a share of equity. We have determined that the Helios Pool is a VIE as it does not have sufficient equityat risk. We do not consolidate the Helios Pool because we are not the primary beneficiary and do not have acontrolling financial interest. In consideration of ASC 810-10-50-4e, the significant factors considered andjudgments made in determining that the power to direct the activities of the Helios Pool that most significantlyimpact the entity’s economic performance are shared, in that all significant performance activities which relate toapproval of pool policies and strategies related to pool customers and the marketing of the pool for the procurementof customers for the pool vessels, addition of new pool vessels and the pool cost management, require unanimousboard consent from a board consisting of two members from each joint venture investor. Further, in accordance withthe guidance in ASC 810-10-25-38D, the Company and Phoenix are not related parties as defined in ASC 850 norare they de facto agents pursuant to ASC 810-10, the power over the significant activities of the Helios Pool isshared, and no party is the primary beneficiary in the Helios Pool, or has a controlling financial interest. In March2016, the Helios Pool reached an agreement with Oriental Energy Company Ltd. ("Oriental Energy"). When fullydelivered, the Helios Pool will operate eight VLGCs for Oriental Energy, some of which will be time chartered-in ata fixed time charter hire rate. The agreement with Oriental Energy had no impact on the ownership structure or thepower to direct significant activities of the Helios Pool. As of March 31, 2016, we had receivables from the Helios Pool of $71.0 million, including $17.6 million of workingcapital contributed for the operation of our vessels in the pool. Our maximum exposure to losses from the pool as ofMarch 31, 2016 is limited to the receivables from the pool. The Helios Pool does not have any third-party debtobligations. The Helios Pool has entered into commercial management agreements with each of Dorian LPG (UK)Ltd. and Phoenix as commercial managers and has appointed both commercial managers as the exclusivecommercial managers of pool vessels. Fees for commercial management services provided by Dorian LPG (UK) Ltd.are included in “Other income-related parties” in the consolidated statement of operations and were $1.4 million forthe year ended March 31, 2016. Additionally, we received a fixed reimbursement of expenses such as costs forsecurity guards and war risk insurance for voyages operating high risk areas from the Helios Pool, for which weearned $1.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2016 and are included in “Other revenues” in the consolidatedstatement of operations. Through our vessel owning subsidiaries, we have chartered vessels to the Helios Pool during the year endedMarch 31, 2016. The time charter revenue from the Helios Pool is variable depending upon the net results of thepool, operating days and pool points for each vessel. The Helios Pool enters into voyage and time charters withexternal parties and receives freight and related revenue and incurs voyage costs such as bunkers, port costs andcommissions. At the end of each month, the pool aggregates the revenue and expenses for all the vessels in the pooland distributes net pool revenues to the participants based on the results of the pool, operating days and pool points,as variable rate time charter hire for the relevant vessel. We recognize net pool revenues on a monthly basis, whenthe vessel has participated in the pool during the period and the amount of pool revenues for the month can beestimated reliably. Revenue earned is presented in Note 14.

The attached charters for each vessel were evaluated by theCompany based on market charter rates on the acquisition date and were found to be at market values, and thus none of thepurchase consideration was allocated to the attached time charters or voyage charter. The fair values of the vessels, excluding LPG coolant, on the date of acquisition were determined by the Companybased on valuations from an independent broker. The appraised value was determined using recent transactions involvingcomparable vessels as adjusted for age and features. The appraisal was performed on “willing Seller and willing Buyer” basisand based on the sale and purchase market condition prevailing at the acquisition date subject to the vessel being in soundcondition and made available for delivery charter free. The fair value of the LPG coolant at the date of acquisition wasdetermined by the quantity purchased valued at the then current LPG rate. The fair value of the newbuilding contracts andvessel purchase options was computed as the excess of the purchase consideration for similar vessels with similar deliverydates based on valuation from an independent broker over the purchase consideration of the contracts acquired plus inrespect of the newbuilding contracts any advance paid to the shipyard as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the interestrate swaps was determined using a discounted cash flow approach based on market‑based LIBOR swap yield rates. The fairvalue of the bank debt and cash was determined to be its face value. In addition, on July 29, 2013 Dorian Holdings granted the Company a royalty‑free, non‑exclusive right and licenseto use the then newly created Dorian logo and “Dorian LPG”. The Company evaluated the license agreement and did notassign any value to the use of this logo and name based on the fact that it was a brand new logo, created shortly prior to theNPP and never used in the market place, and for which the Company does not have exclusive use.

(“RBS”) secured bank debtAs discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company assumed the debt obligationsassociated with the financing of the vessels that were acquired through the acquisition of CMNL, CJNP and CNML.

As a consequence, the Company and the lender negotiated new borrowingterms in connection with this transaction. The new terms are described below. The total borrowings outstanding immediatelyprior to the debt modification and immediately after remained the same.

Income Taxes The Company and its vessel-owning subsidiaries are incorporated in the Marshall Islands and under the laws of theMarshall Islands, are not subject to tax on income or capital gains and no Marshall Islands withholding tax will be imposedon dividends paid by the Company to its shareholders. The Company is also subject to United States federal income taxationin respect of income that is derived from the international operation of ships and the performance of services directly relatedthereto attributable to the transport of cargo to or from the United States (“Shipping Income”), unless exempt from UnitedStates federal income taxation. If the Company does not qualify for the exemption from tax under Section 883, of the Internal Revenue Code of1986, as amended, the Company and its subsidiaries will be subject to a 4% tax on its “U.S. source shipping income,”imposed without the allowance for any deductions. For these purposes, “U.S. source shipping income” means 50% of theShipping Income derived by the Company and its subsidiaries that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, butthat does not both begin and end, in the United States. For our first fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we do not believe that we were able to qualify for exemption underSection 883 and as a consequence, our gross U.S. source shipping income is subject to a 4% gross basis tax (withoutallowance for deductions) equal to $39,266 and is included in Voyage expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. For our fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we believe that we will qualify for exemption underSection 883 and as a consequence, our gross U.S. source shipping income will not be subject to a 4% gross basis tax. 19.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures Our principal financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from related parties and tradeaccounts receivable. Our principal financial liabilities consist of long-term bank loan, interest rate swaps, accounts payable,amounts due to related parties and accrued liabilities. (a)Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which may subject us to significant concentrations of creditrisk, consist principally of amounts due from our charterers, including the receivable from Helios Pool, and cash andcash equivalents. We limit our credit risk with amounts due from our charterers, including those through the HeliosPool, by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our charterers’ financial condition and generally do not requirecollateral from our charterers. We limit our credit risk with our cash and cash equivalents by placing it with highly-rated financial institutions. (b)Interest rate risk: Our long‑term bank loans are based on LIBOR and hence we are exposed to movements thereto.We entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge a majority of our variable interest rate exposurerelated to the RBS Loan Facility and our 2015 Debt Facility. The principal terms of the interest rate swaps are as follows: Transaction Termination Fixed Nominal value Nominal value Interest rate swap Date Date interest rate March 31, 2016 March 31, 2015 RBS - CMNL July 2013 Nov 2018 5.395% 20,456,000 20,456,000 RBS - CMNL July 2013 Nov 2018 4.936% 7,671,000 10,228,000 RBS - CJNP July 2013 March 2019 4.772% 27,979,875 30,523,500 RBS - CJNP July 2013 March 2019 2.960% 9,420,125 10,276,500 RBS - CNML July 2013 July 2020 4.350% 43,000,000 46,440,000 2015 Debt Facility - Citibank September2015 March 2022 1.933% 200,000,000 — 2015 Debt Facility - ING September2015 March 2022 2.000% 50,000,000 — 2015 Debt Facility - CBA October 2015 March 2022 1.430% 82,550,000 — 2015 Debt Facility - Citibank October 2015 March 2022 1.380% 123,825,000 — 564,902,000 117,924,000 (1)Reduces semi-annually by $1.3 million with a final settlement of $21.7 million due in November 2018.(2)Reduces semi-annually by $1.7 million with final settlement of $28.9 million due in March 2019.(3)Reduces semi-annually by $1.7 million with a final settlement of $27.5 million due in July 2020.(4)Non-amortizing with a final settlement of $200 million in March 2022.F-28 (1)(8)(1)(8)(2)(8)(2)(8)(3)(8)(4)(5)(6)(7)Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

LIBOR swap rates are observable at commonlyquoted intervals for the full terms of the swaps and therefore are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fairvalue hierarchy. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements approximates the amount that we would have topay for the early termination of the agreements. The following table summarizes the location on the balance sheet of the financial assets and liabilities that arecarried at fair value on a recurring basis, which comprise our financial derivatives all of which are considered Level2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy: March 31, 2016 March 31, 2015 Other non-currentassets Long-term liabilities Other non-currentassets Long-term liabilities Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Derivative instruments Derivative instruments Derivative instruments Derivative instruments Interest rate swap agreements $ — $21,647,965 $ — $12,730,462 The effect of derivative instruments within the consolidated statement of operations for the periods presented is asfollows: July 1, 2013 Year ended Year ended (inception) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Location of gain/(loss)recognized March 31, 2016 March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2014 Interest Rate Swap—Change in fair value Gain/(loss) on derivatives,net $(8,917,503) $1,331,954 $2,623,456 Interest Rate Swap—Realized loss Gain/(loss) on derivatives,net (6,858,126) (5,291,157) (3,727,457) Gain/(loss) on derivatives, net $(15,775,629) $(3,959,203) $(1,104,001) As of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, no fair value measurements for assets or liabilities under Level 1 orLevel 3 were recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Fair value on a non-recurring basis: As of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, we reviewed the carrying amountand the estimated recoverable amount for each of our vessels. The review for the year ended March 31, 2015indicated that the carrying amount was not recoverable for our PGC vessel. The fair value is considered a Level 2item in the fair value hierarchy and is based on our best estimate of the value of the vessel, which is supported byindependent vessel appraisals. We recognized an impairment loss of $1.4 million during the year endedMarch 31, 2015 as further described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. No impairment loss wasincurred for the year ended March 31, 2016.

Retirement Plans Defined Contribution Plan United States-based employees participate in our 401(k) retirement plan and may contribute a portion of theirannual compensation to a 401(k) plan on a pre-tax basis, in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines. On behalfof all participants in the plan, we provide a safe harbor contribution subject to certain limitations. Employee contributionsand our safe harbor contributions are vested at all times.

There was no compensation expense associated with thesecontributions for the period ended March 31, 2014. 22. Shareholder Rights Plan On December 21, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Right")for each share of our common stock outstanding on December 31, 2015. Each Right is attached to and trades with theassociated share of common stock. The Rights will become exercisable only if a person or group has acquired 15% or moreof our outstanding common stock or announces a tender offer or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result inownership by a person or group of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock (an "Acquiring Person"). If a personbecomes an Acquiring Person, each Right will entitle its holder (other than an Acquiring Person and certain related parties) topurchase for $60 a number of shares of our common stock having a market value of twice such price. In addition, at any timeafter a person or group acquires 15% or more of our outstanding common stock (unless such person or group acquires 50% ormore), our Board of Directors may exchange one share of our common stock for each outstanding Right (other than Rightsowned by the Acquiring Person and certain related parties, which would have become void). Any person who, prior to thetime of public announcement of the existence of the Rights, beneficially owned 15% or more of our outstanding commonstock is not considered to be an Acquiring Person so long as such person does not acquire additional shares in excess ofcertain limitations. The Rights will expire on December 20, 2018; provided that if our shareholders have not ratified the shareholderrights plan by December 20, 2016, the shareholder rights plan will expire on December 20, 2016. 23.

The Owning Companies’vessels are managed by Dorian (Hellas) S.A.‑Panama (the “Manager”), a related party. The Manager is a companyincorporated in Panama and has a registered branch in Greece, established in 1974 under the provisions of Law 89/1967,378/1968 and article 25 of law 27/75, as amended by article 4 of law 2234/94.

Significant Accounting Policies (a)Principles of combination: The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts andoperating results of the legal entities comprising the Owning Companies as discussed in Note 1, which were all undercommon management. The combined statements represent an aggregation of the U.S. GAAP financial information of theentities comprising the Owning Companies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated uponcombination. (b)Use of estimates: The preparation of the Predecessor combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAPrequires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities anddisclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuesand expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (c)Other comprehensive income/(loss): The Company follows the accounting guidance relating to Comprehensive Income,which requires separate presentation of certain transactions that are recorded directly as components ofF-36 (3)(2)(1)(1)(1)(1)Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of Contentsstockholders’ equity. The Company has no other comprehensive income/(loss) and accordingly, comprehensiveincome/(loss) equals net income/(loss) for the periods presented. (d)Foreign currency translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. Each foreign currencytransaction is measured and recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the date of thetransaction. As of the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other thanthe functional currency are adjusted to reflect the exchange rate at the balance sheet date and any gains or losses areincluded in the combined statement of operations. (e)Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates ofdeposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. (f)Trade receivables (net): Trade receivables (net), reflect receivables from vessel charters, net of an allowance for doubtfulaccounts. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes ofdetermining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. No allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded for theperiods presented. (g)Inventories: Inventories consist of bunkers on board the vessels when vessels are unemployed or are operating undervoyage charters and lubricants and stores on board the vessels. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costis determined by the first in, first out method. (h)Vessels: Vessels are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of the vessels consists of the contract price,less discounts, plus any direct expenses incurred upon acquisition, including improvements, commission paid, deliveryexpenses and other expenditures to prepare the vessel for her initial voyage. The cost of vessels constructed includesfinancing costs incurred during the construction period. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and majorimprovements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve theefficiency or safety of the vessels. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. (i)Impairment of long‑lived assets: The Company reviews their vessels “held and used” for impairment whenever eventsor changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When the estimate offuture undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the asset is less thanits carrying amount, the asset is evaluated for an impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on thefair value of the asset. In this respect, management regularly reviews the carrying amount of the vessels in connectionwith the estimated recoverable amount for each of the Company’s vessels. (j)Vessel depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful life of thevessels, after considering the estimated salvage value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of itslightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate, which is estimated to be $400 per lightweight ton. Management of theOwning Companies estimates the useful life of its vessels to be 20 years from the date of initial delivery from theshipyard for VLGC’s and 25 years for PGC vessels. Secondhand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisitionthrough their remaining estimated useful life. (k)Drydocking and special survey costs: Drydocking and special survey costs are accounted under deferral methodwhereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight‑line basis over the period through the date thenext survey is scheduled to become due. We are required to drydock a vessel once every five years until it reaches15 years of age, after which we are required to drydock the applicable vessel every two and one‑half years. Costs deferredare limited to actual costs incurred at the yard and parts used in the drydocking or special survey. Costs deferred includeexpenditures incurred relating to shipyard costs, hull preparation and painting, inspection of hull structure andmechanical components, steelworks, machinery works, and electrical works. If a survey is performed prior to thescheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. Unamortized balances of vessels thatare sold are written‑off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the period of the vessel’s sale. Theamortization charge is presented within “Depreciation and amortization” in the combined statements of operations.

Any unamortizedbalance of costs relating to loans repaid or refinanced is expensed in the period the repayment or refinancing is made,subject to the accounting guidance regarding debt extinguishment. Any unamortized balance of costs related to creditfacilities repaid is expensed in the period. Any unamortized balance of costs relating to credit facilities refinanced aredeferred and amortized over the term of the respective credit facility in the period the refinancing occurs, subject to theprovisions of the accounting guidance relating to debt extinguishment. The unamortized financing costs are reflected inDeferred Charges in the accompanying combined balance sheets. (m)Revenue and expenses: Revenue is recognized when an agreement exists, the vessel is made available to the chartereror services are provided, the charter hire is determinable and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. Time charter revenue: Time charter revenues are recorded ratably over the term of the charter as service is provided.Time charter revenues received in advance of the provision of charter service are recorded as deferred income andrecognized when the charter service is rendered. Accrued revenue results from straight‑line revenue recognition inrespect of charter agreements that provide for varying charter rates. Deferred income and accrued revenue amountsthat will be recognized within the next twelve months are presented as current, with amounts to be recognizedthereafter presented as non‑current. Revenues earned through the profit sharing arrangements in the time chartersrepresent contingent rental revenues that are recognized when earned and amounts are reasonably assured based onestimates provided by the charterer. Voyage charter revenue: Under a voyage charter, the revenues are recognized on a pro‑rata basis over the durationof the voyage determined on a discharge-to-discharge port basis but the Company does not begin recognizingrevenue until a charter has been agreed to by the customer and the Company, even if the vessel has discharged itscargo and is sailing to the anticipated load port for its next voyage. In the event a vessel is sold while a voyage is inprogress, the revenue recognized is based on an allocation formula agreed between the buyer and the seller.Demurrage income represents payments by the charterer to the vessel owner when loading or discharging timeexceeds the stipulated time in the voyage charter and is recognized when earned and collection is reasonablyassured. Despatch expense represents payments by the Company to the charterer when loading or discharging timeis less than the stipulated time in the voyage charter and is recognized as incurred. Commissions: Charter hire commissions to brokers or the Manager are deferred and amortized over the relatedcharter period and are included in Voyage expenses. Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses are accounted for as incurred on the accrual basis. Vesseloperating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs andmaintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, and other miscellaneous expenses. (n)Repairs and maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses, including underwater inspection costs are expensed inthe period incurred. Such costs are included in Vessel operating expenses. (o)Segment reporting: Each of the Owning Company’s vessels serve the same type of customer, have similar operationsand maintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment, and are subject to similar economiccharacteristics. Based on this, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment, the internationaltransportation of liquid petroleum gas with its fleet of vessels. Furthermore, when the Company charters a vessel to acharterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, the disclosure of geographic information isimpracticable.

Derivative Instruments The Owning Companies use interest rate swaps for the management of interest rate risk exposure. The interest rateswaps effectively convert a portion of the Company’s debt from a floating to a fixed rate. To hedge its exposure to changes ininterest rates the Company is a party to five floating‑to‑fixed interest rate swaps with RBS covering notional amountsaggregating approximately $136,718,000 as of March 31, 2013. On March 31, 2005 and April 3, 2007 Cetus Transport Ltd entered into interest rate swap agreements with RBS witheffective dates November 21, 2006 and November 17, 2006, respectively, and termination dated November 21, 2018 andNovember 17, 2018. Under the terms of this arrangement the Company swaps the notional amount outstanding under theagreement from a floating rate of interest to a fixed rate of 5.395% and 4.936% respectively. The original notional amount of$51,140,000 is reduced semi‑annually by $1,278,500 with a final settlement of $20,456,000 due in November, 2018. On March 9, 2007 and February 7, 2012, Lyra Gas Transport Ltd entered into interest rate swap agreements withRBS with effective dates March 22, 2007 and September 24, 2011, respectively, and termination dated March 22, 2019.Under the terms of this arrangement the Company swaps the notional amount outstanding under the agreement from afloating rate of interest to a fixed rate of 4.772% and 2.960% respectively. The original notional amount of $64,146,313 isreduced semi‑annually by $1,700,000 with a final settlement of $28,900,000 due in March 22, 2019. On January 8, 2009, Cepheus Transport Ltd entered into an extendable interest rate swap agreement with the RBSwith effective date July 21, 2008 and termination dated July 21, 2014. RBS holds the right to extend the interest rate swapuntil the July 21 2020. Under the terms of this arrangement the Company swaps the notional amount outstanding under theagreement from a floating rate of interest to a fixed rate of 4.35%. The original notional amount of $68,800,000 is reducedsemi‑annually by $1,720,000 with a final settlement of $29,240,000 due in July 21, 2020. The effect of derivative instruments on the combined statements of operations is as follows: April 1, 2013 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Location of gain/(loss) recognized to July 28, 2013 Interest Rate Swap—Change in fair value Gain/(loss) on derivatives, net $4,684,007 Interest Rate Swap—Realized loss Gain/(loss) on derivatives, net (1,853,802) Loss on derivatives—net $2,830,205 14. Financial Instruments The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from related partiesand trade accounts receivable. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long‑term bank loans, interestrate swaps, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and accrued liabilities. (a)Interest rate risk: The Company’s long‑term bank loans are based on LIBOR and hence the Company is exposed tomovements in LIBOR. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements, discussed in Note 13, in order to hedgeits variable interest rate exposure. (b)Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significantconcentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, cash andcash equivalents. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluationsof its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable. TheCompany places its cash and cash equivalents, with high credit quality financial institutions. (c)Fair value: The carrying values of trade accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, cash and cashequivalents, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fairvalue due to the short‑term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of long‑term bank loans approximate therecorded value, due to their variable interest rate, being the LIBOR.

The interest rate swaps, discussed in Note 13, are stated at fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swaps isdetermined using a discounted cash flow approach based on market‑based LIBOR swap yield rates. LIBOR swap rates areobservable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the swaps and therefore are considered Level 2 items inaccordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements approximates the amount that theCompany would have to pay for the early termination of the agreements. 15.

For purposes of determining the amount of the Reimbursement Payment,the Participant shall be deemed to (i) pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rates of federalincome taxation for the calendar year in which the Reimbursement Payment is to be made and (ii) payapplicable state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year inwhich the Reimbursement Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal incometaxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes. Notwithstanding theforegoing provisions of this Section 6, if it shall be determined that the Participant is entitled to aReimbursement Payment, but that the Payments would not be subject to the Excise Tax if the Paymentswere reduced by an amount that is no more than 10% of the portion of the Payments that would betreated as “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, then the amounts payable to theParticipant under this Plan shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the maximum amount that could bepaid to the Participant without giving rise to the Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor Cap”), and noReimbursement Payment shall be made to the Participant. The reduction of the amounts payablehereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing first the cash payments under Section 4(a) or 5(a),as applicable. For purposes of reducing the Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap, only amounts payableunder this Plan (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. If the reduction of the amounts payablehereunder would not result in a reduction of the Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap, no amounts payableunder this Plan shall be reduced pursuant to this provision.(b) In the event that there is a 280G Change in Control following the second anniversary of theEffective Date and it shall be determined that any Payments would be subject to the Excise Tax, thenany such Payments shall be either (x) delivered in full, or (y) reduced to the Safe Harbor Cap,whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local incomeand employment taxes and the Excise Tax (and any equivalent state and local excise taxes), results inthe receipt by the Participant on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstandingthat all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. The reductionof the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing first the cash paymentsunder Section 4(a) or 5(a), as applicable.(c) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph (a) and (b), all determinations required to be made underthis Section 6, including whether and when a Reimbursement Payment is required, the amount of suchReimbursement Payment, the amount of any Option Redetermination (as defined below), the reductionof the Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at suchdeterminations, shall be made by a public accounting firm that is retained by the Company as of thedate immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailedsupporting calculations both to the Company and the Participant within fifteen (15) business days of thereceipt of notice from the Company or the Participant that there has been a Payment, or such earliertime as is requested by the Company (collectively, the “Determination”). For the avoidance of doubt,the Accounting Firm may use the Option Redetermination amount in determining the reduction of thePayments to the Safe Harbor Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (i) the Board shalldetermine prior to the Change in Control that the Accounting Firm is precluded from performing suchservices under applicable auditor independence rules or (ii) the Audit Committee of the Boarddetermines that it does not want the Accounting Firm to perform such services because of auditorindependence concerns or (iii) the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the person(s)effecting the Change in Control, the Board shall appoint Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

All fees andexpenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company, and the Company shall enterinto any agreement reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm in connection with the performanceof the services hereunder. The Reimbursement Payment under this Section 6 with respect to anyPayments shall be made no later than thirty (30) days following such Payment. If the Accounting Firmdetermines that no Excise Tax is payable by a Participant, it shall furnish the Participant with a writtenopinion to such effect, and to the effect that failure to report the Excise Tax, if any, on the Participant’sapplicable federal income tax return will not result in the imposition of a negligence or similar penalty.In the event the Accounting Firm determines that the Payments shall be reduced to the Safe Harbor Cap,it shall furnish the Participant with a written opinion to such effect. The Determination by theAccounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant.As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of theDetermination, it is possible that Reimbursement Payments which will not have been made by theCompany should have been made (“Underpayment”) or Reimbursement Payments are made by theCompany which should not have been made (“Overpayment”), consistent with the calculationsrequired to be made hereunder. In the event the amount of the Reimbursement Payment is less than theamount necessary to reimburse the Participant for the Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determinethe amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment (together with interestat the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by the Company to orfor the benefit of the Participant (but in any event no later than by the end of the Participant’s taxableyear next following the Participant’s taxable year in which the Underpayment of Excise Tax isremitted). In the event the amount of the Reimbursement Payment exceeds the amount necessary toreimburse the Participant for the Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of theOverpayment that has been made and any such Overpayment (together with interest at the rate providedin Section 1274(b)(2) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by the Participant (to the extent theParticipant has received a refund if the applicable Excise Tax has been paid to the Internal RevenueService) to or for the benefit of the Company. The Participant shall cooperate, to the extent his or herexpenses are reimbursed by the Company, with any reasonable requests by the Company in connectionwith any contests or disputes with the Internal Revenue Service in connection with the Excise Tax.

Any terms ofthis Plan that are undefined or ambiguous shall be interpreted by the Company in its discretion in amanner that complies with Section 409A to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A. If forany reason, such as imprecision in drafting, any provision of this Plan does not accurately reflect itsintended establishment of an exemption from (or compliance with) Section 409A, as demonstrated byconsistent interpretations or other evidence of intent, such provision shall be considered ambiguous asto its exemption from (or compliance with) Section 409A and shall be interpreted by the Company in amanner consistent with such intent, as determined in the discretion of the Company.

Similarly, tothe extent the Participant would otherwise be entitled to any benefit (other than a payment) during thesix months beginning on termination of the Participant’s employment that would be subject to theSection 409A additional tax, the benefit will be delayed and will begin being provided on the earlier ofthe six-month anniversary of the Participant’s date of termination or death.

Each severancepayment made under this Plan shall be deemed to be separate payments, amounts payable underSection 4 of this Plan shall be deemed not to be a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A tothe extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) (“short-termdeferrals”) and (b)(9) (“separation pay plans,” including the exception under subparagraph (iii)) andother applicable provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1 through A-6.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan or elsewhere, any payment or benefit under thisPlan or otherwise that is exempt from Section 409A pursuant to final Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) shall be paid or provided to the Participant only to the extent that the expenses are notincurred, or the benefits are not provided, beyond the last day of the Participant’s second taxable yearfollowing the Participant’s taxable year in which the “separation from service” occurs; and providedfurther that such expenses are reimbursed no later than the last day of the Participant’s third taxableyear following the Source: DORIAN LPG LTD., 10-K, May 31, 2016Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.
