Quarterly Highlights and Appendix 4C

A Message from the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Liquefied Natural Gas Limited's (LNGL or the Company) emphasis over the third quarter of the fiscal year remained on our unrelenting efforts to sign long-term offtake contracts for Magnolia LNG. In addition, our efforts continue to ensure all processes and pathways are finalized for a final investment decision and commencement of construction.

Despite a general malaise slowing the execution of long-term contracts in the LNG market stemming from the U.S. - China trade issues and soft LNG spot pricing, our negotiations with customers we believe will be part of Magnolia LNG's portfolio are moving in a positive direction. We have received comments from multiple shareholders claiming that our competitors are all signing deals, but I would encourage you to read each of those carefully. Many are non-binding headline grabs, or they contain elements we would never incorporate as they do not provide the type of economics an LNG development project requires. It is factual that competition for long-term offtake contracts among greenfield and brownfield U.S. LNG projects is fierce. However, we are emboldened by the advanced engagement we have with several customers through a significant number of bilateral consultations during the quarter. In addition, the interest and jam-packed schedule our team experienced for Magnolia LNG at the recent LNG2019 conference in Shanghai and other events exceeded even our strong expectations.

As noted in my previous quarterly highlights message, our team is progressing approval from the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to increase the authorized capacity of Magnolia LNG from 8.0 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 8.8 mtpa. The team's hard work is paying dividends as we gained authorization from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for Magnolia LNG to expand its LNG export capacity to 8.8 mtpa to free trade agreement (FTA) countries. We expect that FERC approval and non-FTA consent from the DOE will follow in short order.

At LNG2019, we unveiled a new video animation of the Magnolia LNG facility providing a clear and concise explanation of its commercial advantages. If you haven't already, I encourage you to watch it. The video can be found near the lower left corner of the homepage of our website, www.lnglimited.com.au, under "About LNG Limited."

In keeping with our promise to shareholders, we continue to manage our liquidity closely, consistent with our stated plans. We continuously analyze various options for future liquidity should the need arise. We closed March 2019 with the Company's total cash position at A$28.7 million. LNGL remains debt free.

Yours sincerely,

Gregory M. Vesey, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Quarterly Report | March 2019

QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

Magnolia LNG:

On March 22, 2019, Magnolia LNG, LLC received notice from the United States Department of Energy (DOE) that the agency had granted authorization for Magnolia to expand its export capacity to 8.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG to countries that have free trade agreements (FTA) with the United States.

Bear Head LNG:

On February 19, 2019, Bear Head LNG Corporation Inc. signed agreements with the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq Chiefs (Assembly) and the Nova Scotia Construction Labour Relations Association Limited and Cape Breton Unions (together, Unions) delivering on Bear Head's commitments to ensure local benefits and meaningful Mi'kmaq participation in the project in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Corporate:

On March 28, 2019, LNG Limited changed its registered office address to Level 25, 20 Bond Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2000, Australia.

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:

On February 5, 2019, LNG Limited announced in an Appendix 3B notice the issue of 60,000 Shares to Joe B'Oris (Chief Development Officer of LNGL) following the vesting of 60,000 Retention Rights on January 31, 2019.

On March 20, 2019, LNG Limited was given a Notice of ceasing to be a substantial holder by Valinor Management, L.P. and its affiliates.

Financial Position:

During the three‐months ended March 31, 2019, net operating cash outflow was A$7.9 million, which compared with the net operating cash outflow of A$10.5 million for the three-months ended December 31, 2018. LNGL's total cash balance as at March 31, 2019 was A$28.7 million (inclusive of A$2.0 million of restricted cash), which compares to A$36.6 million at December 31, 2018, reflecting a net decrease in reported cash of A$7.9 million. The change in reported cash between periods reflected net cash outflows of A$7.9 million.

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 the second quarter 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.
