Quarterly Highlights and Appendix 4C

A Message from the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

The first quarter of LNG Limited's fiscal year was dominated by our focused efforts to sign long-term contracts for Magnolia LNG. While trade issues with the Chinese market impact our discussions, our negotiations with customers in other parts of the world remain strong. Earlier this year, we stated our target to make a final investment decision by the end of the 2018 calendar year. We made that statement prior to the trade tensions that have manifested over the past months, which have caused headwinds for LNG transactions. We remain hopeful in our ability to bring a final investment decision for Magnolia LNG to the Board of Directors in the first part of 2019.

There are varying opinions on how and when the trade issues with China will be resolved. Considering that, our communications with potential Chinese offtakers remain robust with the intent to complete agreements if trade tensions abate before Magnolia is fully sold out.

From a seller's perspective, the LNG market continues to improve with experts around the globe realizing the need for new LNG production by late 2022, when Magnolia LNG could begin operations. Global LNG prices have remained high even in the shoulder season when prices typically decline. This trend indicates a continued increase in demand with additional supply needed even as some projects currently under construction will reach an operational state in the next 12 months.

Bear Head LNG continues to progress in a positive direction with productive discussions with Western Canada resource holders. The final investment decision for LNG Canada has brought additional attention to the need for LNG export projects on both of Canada's coasts, and we believe Bear Head is the next best option. Our team used the summer to perform field work to fulfill some of the project's environmental regulatory obligations. In addition, we signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Nova Scotia Construction Labour Relations Association Limited (CLRA) and Cape Breton Building and Construction Trades ensuring access to the skilled workforce needed for Bear Head.

During the quarter, we released LNG Limited's 2018 Annual Report. We hope you will read its contents, and we look forward to welcoming you to our Annual General Meeting in Sydney on Thursday, November 15.

In keeping with our promise to shareholders, we continue to manage our liquidity closely, consistent with our stated plans. We closed September 2018 with the Company's total cash position at A$46.4 million and remain debt free.

Yours sincerely,

Gregory M. Vesey, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Quarterly Report | September 2018

QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Magnolia LNG:

  • On September 27, 2018, LNGL announced that Magnolia LNG and Meridian LNG Holdings Corporation agreed extension of the financial close date of their legally binding 2.0 mtpa offtake agreement to December 31, 2018. All other provisions of the governing agreements not specifically amended by this extension remain in full force and effect.

Bear Head LNG:

  • On July 17, 2018, Bear Head LNG, LLC signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Nova Scotia Construction Labour Relations Association Limited and Cape Breton Building and Construction Trades. The MOA ensured access to the skilled workforce needed for Bear Head's proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on the Strait of Canso in Richmond County, Nova Scotia.

OSMR® Process Technology

  • LNGL continued to examine technical improvements in the OSMR® technology and plant modular design to further reduce costs.

  • The Company continues to engage with third-parties interested in using the OSMR® technology in their projects.

Security movements and capital raising:

  • On August 1, 2018, LNGL announced that the Company had been granted a waiver by the ASX from Listing Rule 6.18 as referred to on page 2 of the Company's ASX announcement dated June 4, 2018, which related to the Share Placement to IDG Energy Investment Group Limited which raised gross proceeds of A$28.2 million before costs. The waiver grants IDG Energy Investment top-up rights to maintain their 9.9% investment in LNGL, subject to certain exceptions

  • On July 10, 2018, LNGL announced in an Appendix 3B notice to the ASX that:

    • (i) 2,244,449 - 2015 Performance Rights lapsed;

    • (ii) 839,750 - 2017 Retention Rights partially vested and Ordinary Shares were issued;

    • (iii) 3,114,000 - 2018 Performance Rights were issued; and

    • (iv) 2,076,000 - Retention Rights were issued.

Financial Position:

During the three-months ended September 30, 2018, net operating cash outflow was A$4.8 million, which compared with the net operating cash outflow of A$6.2 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2018. LNGL's total cash balance as at September 30, 2018 was A$46.4 million (inclusive of $25.2 million of restricted cash), which compares to A$50.7 million at June 30, 2018, reflecting a net decrease in reported cash of A$4.3 million. The change in reported cash between periods reflected: net cash outflows of A$4.8 million; and a non-cash impact of A$0.5 million from currency translation effect relating to movements in exchange rates associated with cash held in denominations other than the Australian dollar (primarily U.S. dollars).

The preponderance of forecasted cash outflows is denominated in US dollars, supporting maintenance of a majority of cash and cash equivalents in US dollars as a foreign exchange risk mitigation strategy. Historically, LNGL maintained a material portion of its existing cash and cash equivalents in US dollars and will look to do so in the future to coordinate cash reserves with forecasted cash outflows. Because LNGL's reporting currency is Australian dollars, the US dollar denominated cash balances are translated to Australian dollars at each balance sheet date, with the net effect reflected as unrealized gain (loss) from translation as a period end-to-period end reconciling item in reported cash balances. The Company has no debt.

The liquidity management plan in place remains on course to fund operating requirements into mid-2020. The Company contemplates the continuity of normal business activity in delivering its goals of reaching financial

investment decisions, constructing, and operating its liquefaction projects. LNGL's ability to extend available liquidity beyond existing capacity is dependent upon the future successful raising of incremental funding through any one or a combination of: the successful marketing of offtake capacity and the resulting financing of one or more of its projects; marketing of the OSMR® technology and services; the sale of equity and/or debt; or the sale of assets. Management believes it has options for raising incremental capital and that execution of its plans will enable extension of existing liquidity as and when required. However, Management acknowledges the risks and uncertainty of raising additional capital through the above means and that failure to do so would impose negative implications

to the business.
