The EBIT for the LPG Division per 30/6/2019 was USD 4.3 million compared to USD 1.9 million for half year 2018. This increase can be mainly explained by increased freight rates. This upword trend is expecting to be continued.

MARKET OVERVIEW

After a slow start to the year, earnings for the Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGC) have been forcefully increasing. The upturn was at large inspired by record LPG exports out of the US thanks to more shale gas production and terminal expansions. Combined with global vessel availability falling and healthy demand in Asia, LPG freight rates have been oscillating between 1 and 2 million USD/month. Such buoyant market conditions support the smaller Fully Refrigerated gas markets like the Midsize Gas Carriers (MGC) markets.

VLGC

With 17 vessels still to be delivered to owners in 2019 the current world fleet capacity continues to grow, although not sufficiently in line with the current increase in cargo volumes.

As a consequence, the time charter equivalent on the Baltic Freight Index based on a modern 84,000 m³ VLGC has risen from USD 775,000 per month in March to USD 2,050,000 per month in June. While charter rates have decreased over the course of summer to USD 1,300,000 per month, rates are expected to stay well above USD 1,000,000 per month for the foreseeable future.

Currently, EXMAR controls one chartered vessel in this segment, the 83,300 m³ BW TOKYO, that is chartered to Trafigura until the

fourth quarter 2019. The hire is determined by a mix of fixed freight elements as well as a straight link to the Baltic Gas Index.

Total per 30/06/2019

Total per 30/06/2018 (

*)

EXMAR has two newbuild 88,000 m³ VLGCs on order which will use LPG as a fuel marking a new era for the Company and the industry. Both vessels are committed to a long-term charter with Equinor.

The Company plans delivery of the first ship from Jaingnan Shipyard in the second quarter of 2021, with delivery of the second ship following shortly afterwards in the third quarter of 2021.

ACTIVITY REPORT

MIDSIZE

Whilst the world fleet in this segment has been significantly modernised during recent years, only three vessels remain on the order book (OB). This factor, combined with higher demand for LPG and more ton-miles on the various ammonia trades is resulting in stronger freight rates for the Midsize Gas Carrier. This upward trend in the market seen in recent months is expected to continue during the remainder of 2019.

The EXMAR Midsize Gas Carrier (MGC) fleet is prepared for the upcoming IMO 2020 Bunker regulations thanks to its completed newbuild programme, fuel-efficient vessels and a relatively high cargo volume capacity, with a mix of the latest scrubber technologies and other innovations. This will minimise the impact of the new legislation and maintain competitiveness.

EXMAR has consolidated its key player status in this segment , with 15 of its MGCs trading LPG and six MGCs transporting ammonia for a diverse customer portfolio.

Fleet coverage for the remainder of 2019 is over 90%, with substantial coverage already signed up for 2020 at rates in line with improved Fully Refrigerated market conditions.

PRESSURIZED

The firm upward trend in rates in the Pressurized vessel segment has stabilized over the past six months. A handful of new vessels are being delivered to owners during the course of 2019, mainly replacing scrapped tonnage.

EXMAR's Pressurized fleet is well-positioned in the markets on both sides of Suez, with high coverage levels secured for the remainder of 2019. Strong activity in both LPG and easy petrochemicals ascertain further strong demand for pressurized vessels, especially when order books for such units are almost non-existent.

LNG

EXMAR aims at providing creative shipping and marine infrastructure solutions to support LNG import or export opportunities in the rapidly changing oil and gas market. Anticipating clients' needs for increased flexibility in the LNG industry, EXMAR has pioneered solutions in the fields of floating LNG regasification and liquefaction.

(**) REBITDA: recurring earnings before interests, taxes, depreciations and amortizations.

The EBIT for the LNG division for the first half of 2019 was USD -7.4 million compared to USD 23.8 million for the first half of 2018 including USD 30.9 million capital gain on the sale of FSRU EXCELSIOR. The standby revenues generated by TANGO FLNG since May 2019 will only be recognised in P&L as from start of operations in September 2019 (in accordance with IFRS 15).

MARKET OVERVIEW

LNG SHIPPING

The ongoing transition in energy consumption is favoring gas as an alternative fuel source. In addition to a series of new regasification and liquefaction projects appearing on the market, the delivery of LNG-fueled ships over the coming years will boost demand. This will provide opportunities for EXMAR to bring new marine LNG value chain solutions to the market.

Whilst at the end of 2018 LNG freight rate levels were buoyant, the beginning of 2019 was marked by an abrupt fall in freight rates caused by further reductions in LNG prices. This fall was further exacerbated by uncertainty due to geopolitical tensions.

The graph on page 7 shows that earnings have more than halved, and that the relevant freight rate for a 160,000 m³ LNG carrier slipped below USD 40,000 per day. A few months later, a noticeable flurry of spot fixtures boosted market conditions again on the back of an arbitrage window opening in the East and even on the Atlantic trades.

EXMAR currently owns one vessel in this category and is therefore limited in exposure to recent market movements. EXCALIBUR

remains on a long-term time charter contract beyond 2022 with Excelerate Energy.

The Company confidently expects to capitalize on new opportunities for the vessel after her current charter.

FLOATING LIQUEFACTION

In June 2019, EXMAR has completed commissioning and the performance acceptance test (PAT) of its liquefaction barge TANGO FLNG by its customer YPF, less than four months after arrival of the unit in Bahía Blanca, Argentina. This has triggered monthly standby revenues, while preparing effective ACTIVITY REPORT

startup and operations after Argentinian winterperiod as from September onwards.

TANGO FLNG has become world's third FLNG in commercial operation with YPF making a long-term commitment to the unit. This confirms EXMAR's front-runner position for cost-competitive and quick-to-market floating liquefaction solutions.

This liquefaction terminal will receive natural gas from the Vaca Muerta gas field and will produce 0.5 MTPA of LNG per annum, making Argentina the world's 21st country to export LNG.

The quick and successful startup of the TANGO FLNG has attracted market interest from several parties. EXMAR is currently actively involved at development stage on several projects with various liquefaction and storage capacities and storage sizes.

FLOATING REGASIFICATION

EXMAR continues serving its commitment to GUNVOR under the contract for its floating regasification barge S188. The finance documentation for the sale and leaseback of the barge by CSSC shipping for an agreed amount of USD 155 million has been finalized and signed at the end of August. A first tranche of approximately USD 78.0 million will be drawn upon fulfilment of the conditions precedent under the lease agreement (including security documents requiring charterers' signature), which is expected in the course of September. A second tranche of USD 31.0 million will be made available upon start of the regasification operations at a location. The financing under the sale and leaseback has a duration of 10 years at an interest rate of LIBOR + 3.80% with various re-purchase options available throughout the 10 years period and a purchase obligation at year 10. The difference between the purchase price of the unit and the drawn amount is considered as a seller's credit.

EXMAR continues to pursue business opportunities for LNG import projects on a selective basis, where both the technical and economic viability provide a sound basis for long-term cooperation.

OFFSHORE

EXMAR Offshore is dedicated to the ownership and leasing of offshore assets and providing floating solutions to the production, drilling, and accommodations market. This includes operating a variety of offshore assets for both the EXMAR Group and external client owners. EXMAR's office in Houston, U.S.A., specializes in the design and development of floating production systems (FPS) as well as project management and engineering services related to offshore units, ships, and marine vessels. EXMAR Group owns an offshore consultancy (DVO) and has business interests in an industrial supplier to the marine and offshore industry.

levels in the first semester, dedicated to detailed engineering work and site supervision on the construction
of a third OPTI®-hull design based production semisubmersible.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Geopolitical factors have had a significant influence on the world energy market in the first half of 2019 and will continue to affect the short-term outlook, and in particular, the price of oil. At the beginning of 2019, the oil prices (West Texas Intermediate) stood at USD 46.54 per barrel and, due to a favorable outlook for the world economy, climbed to a high of USD 66.30 per barrel. Tariffs imposed and threatening to be imposed on China by the US have not been cancelled, which have led to a slight fall in the oil price as forecasters now foresee lower demand growth than previously forecasted.

Sanctions against Iran and Venezuela as well as production issues due to government instability in Libya have reduced crude supply. These factors, combined with the lower production rates from OPEC, are forecasted to offset the expected gains from shale production in the US.

FLOATING PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

On 3 June 2019, Murphy Oil Corporation (Murphy) announced the closing of its acquisition of certain deepwater Gulf of Mexico assets from LLOG Exploration Offshore L.L.C. and LLOG Bluewater Holdings L.L.C. (LLOG). The acquisition includes the design

and construction of a newbuild Floating Production System which will use EXMAR's proprietary OPTI® series semisubmersible hull design, thereby adding Murphy to EXMAR's client roster for engineering services in the US. Murphy Oil Corporation is one of the top five producing operators in the Gulf of Mexico.

LLOG continues to be an active Gulf of Mexico deepwater operator utilizing the OPTI® where it has achieved significant success since first acquiring the OPTI-EX® from EXMAR in 2011.

PANORAMA

Two floating production solutions using the OPTI® hull design are currently deployed in the Gulf of Mexico with another currently under construction.

While FPSOs are by far the preferred deepwater production solution globally, the semisubmersible remains the top choice for the Gulf of Mexico and with resurgent exploration and production activity in the Gulf of Mexico, the OPTI® solution is a proven and commercially successful design.

OFFSHORE ACCOMMODATION BARGE

The signs that the offshore Oil & Gas market is picking up are well documented. There is a return in activity overall, albeit unequal, with some segments and regions moving faster than others.

The NUNCE accomodation work barge and the WARIBOKO accomodation work barge contributed positively to EXMAR Offshore's result during the first half of 2019. NUNCE remains under contract to Sonangol P&P, offshore Angola since July 2009. WARIBOKO was redelivered from Total E&P, offshore Nigeria where it had been on contract since September 2012. The barge remains in Nigeria and discussions for future employment in the near term are progressing well.

Both units have been fully employed without interruption, and have recorded 100% uptime since they entered EXMAR's portfolio ten and seven years ago, respectively. This proves the high quality and performance of EXMAR Offshore assets and high-performing technical management standards, despite a bear market.

EXMAR Offshore is currently working on other employment opportunities and development strategies in the West African floating offshore accommodation market.

ENGINEERING SERVICES

EXMAR's office in Houston, U.S.A has registered high engineering utilization levels in the first semester, dedicated to detailed engineering work and site supervision on the construction of a third OPTI®-hull design based production semi-submersible.

Whilst this detailed engineering work is expected to reach a successful conclusion in the third quarter, several proposals for additional engineering projects are due to commence in the same timeframe. A successful 2019 is therefore anticipated, which contrasts with previous years following the downturn in 2014.

BEXCO

BEXCO is a leading European manufacturer of precision-engineered synthetic mooring, towing and lifting ropes for offshore, marine

and industrial applications.

A significant increase in deepwater mooring projects being sanctioned in the global Offshore station- keeping segment has positively impacted the market. BEXCO has been successful in closing major contracts for the production and delivery of mooring rope packages in 2019 and throughout 2020.

This uptick in Oil & Gas offshore activities has also brought with it increased order intakes for BEXCO synthetic lifting slings and barge mooring ropes.

Aside from the Offshore Oil & Gas segment, BEXCO is also benefiting from continued growth in Offshore Wind, mainly for heavy lift operations of monopiles. The market outlook for mooring of Floating Wind systems also appears positive.

In the maritime segment, BEXCO continues its focus on high performance ropes for container vessels, cruise vessels, tankers and tugs. Its business in the USA has seen good growth during the first half of 2019.

SUPPORTING SERVICES

EXMAR Ship Mangement provides high quality ship mangagement and related services to owners of high tech carriers and floating units (storage & accomodation). Other services offered by EXMAR include a travel agency (Travel PLUS).

EXMAR SHIP MANAGEMENT

It has a varied portfolio of vessel and maritime infrastructure owners as clients. In the first six months of 2019, EXMAR Ship Management (ESM) progressed further with the Midsize newbuild programme of the EXMAR LPG fleet. It successfully supervised the commissioning and delivery of the 38,000 m³ LPG carriers KAPELLEN and KORTRIJK to the owner in March and May respectively and with the Midsize LPG carrier WEPION delivered at the end of July. Its LNG division is also progressing on the conversion of the LNG carrier EXCEL into a Floating Storage Unit (FSU) for its new owner.

ESM has also further diversified its fleet. Its Indian subsidiary has bulk vessels under management. On 5 June, ESM's LNG and YPF teams successfully completed the PAT (Performance Acceptance Test) in Bahia Blanca, Argentina of TANGO FLNG, resulting in the final acceptance of the unit by the customer YPF. This is only the third FLNG to enter into operation, which puts ESM in pole position for the management of further units in the market.

TRAVEL PLUS

Travel PLUS is Belgium's largest independent travel agency, offering personalized services to both business and leisure customers. Located in Antwerp, the agency distinguishes itself by providing a high level of personal care by local staff to its business and leisure travelers, combining tailor-made itineraries with exceptional after-sales service.

OTHER SUPPORTING SERVICES COMPANIES

In the second quarter, EXMAR fully repaid the outstanding senior unsecured bond. This repayment was financed partially with the new, unsecured 650 million NOK (approximately USD 75.0 million) bond issued by EXMAR on 16 May 2019, with final maturity in May 2022 (EXMAR02), and partially with available resources.

End of June, EXMAR signed an agreement with Compagnie Maritime Belge ("CMB") for the sale of 50% of its shares in RESLEA, owner of the office buildings in Antwerp. EXMAR realized a capital gain of about USD 19.3 million.

( *) The Group has initially applied IFRS 16 at 1 January 2019, using the modified retrospective method. Under this approach, comparative information is not restated and the impact on retained earnings is determined as zero. We refer in this respect to Note 14.

( **) As a consequence of the non-application of the agent principle on revenue and costs for one of our subsidiaries in the offshore segment, the prior period financial statements have been restated. This restatement only concerns a reclassification within the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and does not have an impact on the bottom line result of the prior period. The affected captions in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss have been marked with a ( **) . We refer to Note 6 for more information in this respect.

( ***) The increase in goods and services compared to 2018 can be amongst others explained by crewing and maintenance for the FSRU (USD 1.4 million) and the TANGO FLNG (USD 8.6 million).

( ****) The increase in Depreciations, amortisations & impairment losses can be explained by increased depreciations for the FSRU (USD 2.9 million), increased depreciations as a consequence of the implementation of IFRS 16 (USD 2.0 million, see Note 14) and the registration of an impairment loss of USD 2.2 million on an aircraft (see also Note 14). ( *****) Interest expenses increased compared to June 2018, mainly as the consequence of the full impact of the interests to be paid on the TANGO FLNG facility. In 2018, part of these interest expenses were born by Wison.

( ******) The movement on the equity accounted investees - share in other comprehensive income is detailed in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity.

( *) EBITDA of the LPG segment increased significantly compared to 30/06/2018. This increase can be explained by the implementation of IFRS 16. As a consequence of IFRS 16, right of use assets and related lease liabilities have been registered for two vessels in the LPG segment. This implies that a depreciation charge for the right of use assets (USD 3.6 million) and interest expenses (USD 0.8 million) on the related lease liabilities are registered. Both type of expenses do not impact EBITDA. Previously, the Group recognized operating lease expenses on a straight line basis over the term of the lease which impacted EBITDA. We also refer to Note 14 in this respect. The impact of IFRS 16 on the proportionate balance sheet is also discussed in Note 14.

( **) Depreciations, amortisations and impairment losses include impairment losses for an amount of USD 2.2 million on an aircraft. Depreciations, amortisations and impairment losses also increased significantly compared to 30/6/2018 as a consequence of the implementation of IFRS 16 (USD 5.6 million). We also refer to Note 14 in this respect.

( *) The Group has initially applied IFRS 16 at 1 January 2019, using the modified retrospective method. Under this approach, comparative information is not restated and the impact on retained earnings is determined as zero. We refer in this respect to Note 14.

( **) As a consequence of the non-application of the agent principle on revenue and costs for one of our subsidiaries in the offshore segment, the prior period financial statements have been restated. This restatement only concerns a reclassification within the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and does not have an impact on the bottom line result of the prior period..

6. OPERATING INCOME (IN THOUSANDS OF USD)

30 June 2019 30 June 2018
REVENUE
LPG segment 15,860 15,020
LNG segment 12,767 2,000
Offshore segment 11,553 9,169
Services segment 16,780 14,803
56,960 40,992 ( *)

The increase in total revenue in the LNG segment is mainly due to invoicing towards Gunvor for the FSRU which started in the last quarter of 2018. The standby revenues generated by TANGO FLNG since May 2019 will only be recognised in P&L as from start of operations in September 2019 (in accordance with IFRS 15).

The increase in total revenue in the Offshore segment can be mainly explained by increased engineering services, amongst others for the construction of a third EXMAR Opti (see also other operating income in this respect).

The increase in total revenue in the Services segment is amongst others explained by the new contract for the management of the Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) LPG unit NKOSSA II in Congo.

The bank loans mainly relate to the LPG pressurized facilities and the TANGO FLNG facility.

In the last quarter of 2018, EXMAR refinanced its LPG pressurized fleet. Five vessels were refinanced under this transaction in October 2018, one vessel was refinanced in December 2018. The loans are repayable in quarterly tranches and the applicable interest percentage amounts to three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 2.4%. The remaining 4 vessels were refinanced in April 2019 at similar conditions.

The other loans relate to a NOK 650 million senior unsecured bond issue, with maturity date in May 2022. The interest percentage applicable on the new bond amounts to three-month NIBOR plus a margin of 8.75%. In June 2019, the previous bond of NOK 1 billion has been fully repaid. This repayment was financed partially with the new bond issue and partially with available resources. The NOK/ USD exposure is not covered by any forward exchange contract. An increase in the NOK/USD rate of 10% would impact the statement of profit or loss with USD -7.6 million. A 10% decrease of the NOK/USD rate would impact the profit or loss statement with the same amount (opposite sign).

EXMAR's barge based FSRU was delivered end of December 2017. The unit was able to obtain a long-term contract with GUNVOR and its employment commenced in October 2018. The finance documentation for the sale and lease back of the FSRU barge by CSSC shipping for an agreed amount of USD 155 million has been finalized and signed at the end of August. A first tranche of approximately USD 78.0 million will be drawn upon fulfillment of the conditions precedent under the lease agreement (including security documents requiring charterers' signature), which is expected in the course of September. A second tranche of USD 31.0 million will be made available upon start of the regasification operations at a location. The financing under the sale and leaseback has a duration of 10 years at an interest rate of LIBOR + 3.80% with various re-purchase options available throughout the 10 years period and a purchase obligation at year 10. The difference between the purchase price of the unit and the drawn amount is considered as a seller's credit.

Different debt covenants exist that require compliance with certain financial ratio's. These ratio's are calculated semi-annually based on EXMAR's consolidated figures in which equity accounted investees are not accounted for under IFRS 11 but still on a proportionate basis (similar to accounting policies used for segment reporting purposes). In case of non-compliance with these covenants, early repayment of related borrowings might be required and should therefore be accounted for as short term debt. We refer to the table below for an overview of the applicable covenants.

The outstanding loan amount for this covenant is not included in the outstanding loan amount in the table above. The outstanding loan amount for this covenant in our proportionate consolidation amounts to USD 24.6 million.

( ***) The actual amounts presented are based on the most restrictive definitions.

As of June 30, 2019 EXMAR was compliant with all covenants.

EXMAR believes that as per December 2019, all covenants will be met. The interest coverage ratio has limited headroom. TANGO FLNG will start production as of September 2019, this will positively influence the interest coverage ratio. EXMAR is continuously monitoring compliance with all applicable covenants.

If a breach of covenants would occur, the Company will request and believes it will be able to obtain a waiver from the relevant lenders. Following steps are to be taken in accordance with applicable agreements if a breach of covenants would occur :

* Each borrower shall notify the Facility Agent of any Defaults ( and the steps, if any, taken to remedy it) promptly upon becoming aware of its occurrence. * Promptly, upon the request by the Facility Agent, the Borrower shall supply a certificate signed by two of its directors certifying that no Default is continuing, specifying the Default and the steps, if any, being taken to remedy it.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (IN THOUSANDS OF USD)

Financial instruments include a broad range of financial assets and liabilities. They include both primary financial instruments such as cash, receivables, debt and shares in another entity and derivative financial instruments. They are measured either at fair value or at amortized cost.

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an at arm's length transaction. All derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are presented by class in the table below. The Group aggregates its financial instruments into classes based on their nature and characteristics.

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
30 JUNE 2019
Equity securities - measured at FVTPL 3,306 1,093 4,399
TOTAL FINANCIAL ASSETS CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE 3,306 1,093 0 4,399
TOTAL FINANCIAL LIABILITIES CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE 0 0 0 0

Financial instruments other than those listed above are all measured at amortized cost.

The accounting classification and basis for determining fair values in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2018. Therefore, we refer to the Annual Report 2018, disclosure Note 29 'Financial risks and financial instruments'.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value has not been updated per June 30, 2019 as no significant changes occurred that would impact the fair value determination. Therefore, we refer to the Annual Report 2018, disclosure Note 29 Financial risks and financial instruments.

In respect of liquidity risk, we refer to Note 15 Capital commitments.

14. LEASES (IN THOUSANDS OF USD)

OPERATING LEASES

The Group has initially applied IFRS 16 Leases at 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Group, as a lessee, has recognised right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting remains similar to previous accounting policies.

The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognised in retained earnings at 1 January 2019. The impact on retained earnings is determined as zero (see below). Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 17 and related interpretations. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.

DEFINITION OF A LEASE

Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under IFRIC 4 determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. The Group now assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the new definition of a lease. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. It applied IFRS 16 only to FINANCIAL REPORT

contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

LEASES AS A LESSEE

The Group leases many assets, including properties, motor vehicles and IT equipment. As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognises right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet.

However, the Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for some leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The carrying amounts of right-of-use assets are as below.

aircraft)
IT equipment Total

6,901

The increase in the right of use assets presented above can be explained by the registration of an early purchase option for an aircraft. As a consequence of this registration, an impairment loss of USD 2.2 million has been registered to reflect current market value of the asset.

The right of use assets presented above are the right of used assets registered on the balance sheet (equity consolidation). For segment reporting purposes, the company continues to manage its operations based on internal management reports applying the principles of the proportionate consolidation method. Additional right of use assets for two vessels have been registered in the proportionate consolidation for an amount of USD 35 million per 1 January 2019. The book value per 30 June 2019 in respect of these vessels amounted to USD 31.4 million.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payment made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

TRANSITION

At transition, for leases classified as operating leases under IAS 17, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group's incremental borrowing rate as at 1 January 2019.

Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.

The Group used the following practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17.

Excluded initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

LEASES AS A LESSOR

The Group leases out a significant part of its vessels. The Group has classified these leases as operating leases.The accounting policies applicable to the Group as a lessor are not different from those under IAS 17.

IMPACTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognised additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities, recognising the difference in retained earnings. The impact on retained earnings is determined as zero. The impact on transition is summarised below.

IMPACT FOR THE PERIOD

As a result of initially applying IFRS 16, in relation to the leases that were previously classified as operating leases, the Group recognised KUSD 20,831 of right-of-use assets and KUSD 22,484 of lease liabilities as at 30 June 2019.

Also in relation to those leases under IFRS 16, the Group has recognised depreciation and interest costs, instead of operating lease expense. During the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group recognised KUSD 1,997 of depreciation charges and KUSD 705 of interest costs from these leases. EBIT is positively impacted as a consequence of the implementation of IFRS 16 by KUSD 296. EBITDA is positively impacted as a consequence of the implementation of IFRS 16 by USD 2.3 million.

In March 2018 EXMAR announced it had contracted 2 VLGC Newbuildings with LPG as a fuel for the main engine at Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction at Subic Bay (Philippines) to serve long-term commitments with Equinor ASA of Norway for worldwide LPG transportation.

In January 2019 Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction at Subic Bay (Philippines) filed for rehabilitation due to financial difficulties. The construction disruptions caused thereby obliged EXMAR to cancel both Shipbuilding Contracts and invoke the Refund Guarantee from Korean Development Bank (South Korea) to recover each of the Instalments already paid. These instalments (USD 27.2 million) have been repaid during the first semester of 2019 together with an interest of 6%.

In order to fulfil its long-term commitments towards Equinor ASA of Norway, EXMAR entered into shipbuilding contracts with Jiangnan Shipyard for 2 VLGC's with LPG as fuel. These contracts are also covered by a Refund Guarantee. The delivery of these vessels is expected in the second and third quarter of 2021.

(*) Payment schedule for the two contracted VLCC newbuilds is as follows:

Timing In thousands of USD
Second semester 2019 (

7,735
First semester 2020 7,735
2021 at delivery 124,046
TOTAL 139,516

( **) USD 15.5 million has been recorded as advance payments in the first semester of 2019 and has been paid in July 2019.

16. SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The significant judgements and estimates that might have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities relate to:

GOING CONCERN

The Company is of the opinion that, taking into account its available cash and cash equivalents, its undrawn committed facilities available on the date of establishing the condensed consolidated financial statements, its projected cash flows based on approved budgets and forecasts and the liquidity impact of the management measures listed below, it has sufficient liquidity to meet its present obligations and cover its working capital needs for a period of at least 12 months from the authorization date of this half year report.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2019 have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making this assessment, the Board of Directors assumed that the following management measures be timely and successfully completed to provide sufficient liquidity for the Company:

* Further to the successful performance acceptance tests of the TANGO FLNG on 5 June 2019, EXMAR meets all conditions for the partial release of the debt service reserve account (currently amounts to USD 67,3 million) in respect of the USD 200 million loan with Bank of China and Deutsche Bank (USD 40 million in a first phase). This release is subject to the approval of SINOSURE, the latter taking more time than previously communicated. The release is expected to occur in the course of the fourth quarter of 2019.

* The finance documentation for the sale and lease back of the FSRU barge by CSSC shipping for an agreed amount of USD 155 million has been finalized and signed at the end of August. A first tranche of approximately USD 78.0 million will be drawn upon fulfillment of the conditions precedent under the lease agreement (including security documents requiring charterers' signature), which is expected in the course of September. A second tranche of USD 31.0 million will be made available upon start of the regasification operations at a location. The financing under the sale and leaseback has a duration of 10 years at an interest rate of LIBOR + 3.80% with various re-purchase options available throughout the 10 years period and a purchase obligation at year 10. The difference between the purchase price of the unit and the drawn amount is considered as a seller's credit.

Pending the settlement of both above mentioned credit files, EXMAR closed a bridge loan in the amount of USD 30 million to temporarily increase its liquidity. The final maturity date of the bridge loan is the earlier of the final drawdown on the CSSC facility, the release of the debt service reserve account or September 30, 2019.

In light of its ongoing operational challenges and the resulting pressure on its financial position, the Company is closely monitoring its compliance with the financial covenants. The Company has met all its financial covenants as at June 30, 2019 and the next testing date with respect to the financial position as at the end of December 2019 is in March 2020. EXMAR believes that based on forecasts for the remaining of the year, all covenants will be met as per December 2019. The interest coverage ratio has limited headroom. TANGO FLNG will start production as of September 2019, this will positively influence the interest coverage ratio. EXMAR iscontinuously monitoring compliance with all applicable covenants. If a breach of covenants would occur, the Company will request and believes it will be able to obtain a waiver from the relevant lenders. See also Note 12 of this report.

The Board is confident that management will be able to timely and successfully implement these plans and therefore it has an appropriate basis for the use of the going concern assumption. In the event the above assumptions are not timely met, there is a material uncertainty whether the Company will have sufficient liquidities to fulfil its obligations for the period of at least 12 months from the date of authorising these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

17. CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES

There were no significant changes in contingencies as disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018.

In general, the borrowings held by EXMAR and its equity accounted investees are secured by a mortgage on the underlying assets owned by the subsidiaries or the equity accounted investees. Furthermore, different pledges and other types of guarantees exist to secure the borrowings. In addition, dividend restrictions are included as a special covenant in the terms of the bond.

EXMAR has pledged financial assets as collateral for liabilities. We refer to Note 11 where the amount of restricted cash in respect of financing agreements is disclosed.
