3.  Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, as of December 31, 2017, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $50.4 million, mainly as a result of the 2017 Bridge Loan (defined in Note 7 below), of which $66.9 million of principal is due on December 31, 2018, and for which we have not yet secured refinancing. As we have not yet implemented a refinancing of the remaining portion of the 2017 Bridge Loan, we are required under U.S. GAAP to state that the absence of such refinancing raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, before consideration of our plans.

 

On November 7, 2017, we refinanced one of the four VLGCs that was secured under the 2017 Bridge Loan pursuant to a memorandum of agreement and a bareboat charter agreement (refer to Note 7 below). We used a portion of the proceeds from this transaction to repay $30.1 million of the remaining principal on the 2017 Bridge Loan.  We believe it is probable that we will raise additional funds in the short-term through alternative sources of debt financings and/or through equity financings by way of a private or public offering, which, together with free cash on hand and cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to pay our short-term obligations, including the remaining $66.9 million outstanding under the 2017 Bridge Loan. Therefore, our accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
