C3IS INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the
six-month
period ended June 30, 2024 and thesix-month
period ended June 30, 2023. Unless otherwise specified herein, references to the “Company” or “we” shall include C3is Inc. and its subsidiaries. You should read the following discussion and analysis together with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For additional information relating to our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, please see our annual report on Form20-F
for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). All share amounts reflect the 1-for-100 reverse split of the Common Stock effected by the Company at 11:59 pm, Eastern Time, on April 11, 2024.Overview
C3is Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on July 25, 2022 to serve as the holding company of two subsidiaries, each owning one of the two drybulk carriers in our initial fleet, that Imperial Petroleum Inc. (“Imperial Petroleum”) contributed to us in connection with the
Spin-Off
(as defined below), together with $5,000,000 in cash as working capital, in return for our common shares and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Imperial Petroleum Inc. had acquired the two drybulk carriers from Vafias family interests on September 21, 2022 and October 19, 2022, respectively.On June 21, 2023, Imperial Petroleum distributed all of our outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common shares”), to its stockholders and warrantholders, which completed our separation from Imperial Petroleum (the
“Spin-Off”).
Upon the completion of theSpin-Off,
on June 21, 2023, we began operating as a separate company from Imperial Petroleum, the Nasdaq-listed ship-owning company serving the petroleum products, crude oil and drybulk sectors of the international shipping industry, of which we were previously a part.C3is Inc. is a ship-owning company providing international seaborne transportation services to drybulk charterers, including major national and private industrial users, commodity producers and traders, and since the third quarter of 2023 to oil producers, refineries and commodities traders.
In July 2023, the Company agreed to acquire one Aframax crude oil tanker, the “Afrapearl II (ex. Stealth Berana)” (2010 built), from Imperial Petroleum Inc. for $43 million. Afrapearl II (ex. Stealth Berana) was delivered to our fleet on July 14, 2023. The vessel has been fully paid for by July 2024, and is debt free.
In April 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 33,664 DWT handysize bulk carrier from an affiliated company for $16.19 million.10% of the purchase price was paid on delivery, with the remaining interest-free balance becoming due in April 2025.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s fleet consisted of three drybulk carriers that transport major bulks such as iron ore, coal and grains, and minor bulks such as bauxite, phosphate and fertilizers, and one Aframax crude oil tanker that transports crude oil. The total cargo carrying capacity of the fleet is 213,468 dwt.

| • | Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $23.6 million, an increase of $18.7 million compared to revenues of $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the increase in the average number of our vessels. Total calendar days for our fleet were 598 days for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 362 days for the same period in 2023. Of the total calendar days in the first six months of 2024, 367 or 61.4%, were time charter days, as compared to 326 or 90.0% for the same period in 2023. Our fleet operational utilization was 90.3% and 90.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. |
| • | Voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $6.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in both voyage expenses and vessels’ operating expenses is attributed to the increase in the average number of our vessels. Voyage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 mainly included bunker costs of $3.1 million, corresponding to 52% of total voyage expenses, and port expenses of $1.9 million, corresponding to 32% of total voyage expenses due to the fact that the vessel Afrapearl II operated in the spot market as compared to the same period last year, when the vessels operated under time charter employment.

| • | Depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.9 million, a $1.6 million increase from $1.3 million for the same period of last year, due to the increase in the average number of our vessels. |
| • | Management fees for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $0.3 million, a $0.1 million increase from $0.2 million for the same period of last year, due to the increase in the calendar days of our fleet during the current period. |
| • | General and Administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $2.1 million and mainly related to expenses incurred relating to the two public offerings and the reverse stock split and expenses incurred as a result of operating as a separate public company. General and Administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $0.5 million. |
| • | Interest and finance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $1.7 million and related to the accrued interest expense – related party, as of June 30, 2024 in connection with the $53.3 million, part of the acquisition prices of our Aframax tanker Afrapearl II – which was subsequently completely paid off in July 2024 – and our bulk carrier Eco Spitfire, which is payable by April 2025. |
| • | Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.6 million and related to the interest earned from the time deposits held by the Company. |
| • | Loss on warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $15.2 million and mainly related to the net fair value losses on ourClass B-1 andB-2 Warrants andClass C-1 andC-2 warrants which were issued during the first quarter of 2024 in connection with the two public offerings and have been classified as liabilities. |

offerings and exercise of warrants, partially offset by the stock repurchase and the dividends paid on the preferred stock. The cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $3.3 million, representing net transfers from the former Parent Company (as defined below).5
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $32.3 million, and bank time deposits of $13.2 million.
Our principal sources of funds for our liquidity needs have been cash flows from operations, as well as contribution from Imperial Petroleum Inc. (our former “Parent Company”), and three public offerings of equity securities. Potential additional sources of funds may include additional equity offerings and bank borrowings. We expect future equity offerings and other issuances of our common shares, preferred stock or other securities, which may dilute our common shareholders if issued at lower prices than the price they acquired their shares, as well as possibly bank borrowings, to be a significant component of the financing for our fleet growth plan. Our principal use of funds has been to acquire our vessels, maintain the quality of our vessels and fund working capital requirements.
Our liquidity needs, as of June 30, 2024, primarily related to the funding of the remaining 90% of the purchase price of $38.7 million for the Aframax tanker, which was paid in July 2024. We also have a financial liability of $14.6 million due in April 2025, being the 90% of the purchase price of the handysize bulk carrier acquired in April 2024. Our liquidity needs also include expenses for operating our vessels, any vessel improvements that may be required and general and administrative expenses.
As of June 30, 2024, we had no bank debt. We may incur indebtedness in the future to finance the growth of our fleet.
We believe that, unless there is a major and sustained downturn in market conditions applicable to our specific shipping industry segment and subject to either the successful completion of equity offerings or the incurrence of bank debts, our internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to fund our current operations, including working capital requirements, for at least 12 months taking into account any possible capital commitments and debt service requirements.

C3is Inc.
Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
(Expressed in United States dollars)
1. | Basis of Presentation and General Information |
C3is Inc. (“C3is”) was formed by Imperial Petroleum Inc. (“the former Parent Company”) on July 25, 2022 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Initial share capital of C3is consisted of 500 common shares. Imperial Petroleum Inc. spun off its two Handysize drybulk carriers by contributing to C3is its interest in Drybulk International Trading and Shipping Inc. and in Raw Commodities & Exports Inc. (“Initial Fleet”), each one owning one Handysize drybulk carrier, and $5,000,000 in cash for working capital purposes. The contribution was completed on June 20, 2023 in exchange for 31,826 newly issued common shares and 600,000 5.00% Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) in C3is. On June 21, 2023, Imperial Petroleum Inc., distributed the 31,826 common shares in C3is to the shareholders and warrant holders of Imperial Petroleum Inc. on a pro rata basis (the “Spin off”) and retained the 600,000 Series A Preferred Shares.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of C3is and its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”). The Initial Fleet has been accounted using the historical carrying costs of its assets and liabilities from their dates of incorporation. For periods up to June 21, 2023, the accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position and results of the
carve-out
operations of the Initial Fleet. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or U.S GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form20-F
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2024 (the “2023 Consolidated Financial Statements”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The reporting and functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar.The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
At June 30, 2024, the Company’s fleet was comprised of 3 Handysize drybulk carriers and 1 Aframax crude oil tanker providing worldwide marine transportation services under long, medium or short-term charters.
At June 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $6,603,005, cash and cash equivalents and time deposits of $45,517,158 and four unencumbered vessels. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has remaining obligations for the acquisition of two vessels (Note 3) totaling $53,490,397 payable in July 2024 and April 2025. The balance of $39,423,257 was paid off in July 2024, from available cash. The Company expects to finance its working capital deficit with operational cash flows, debt issuances, or a combination of debt and equity issuances, if required. In the event the debt and equity issuances are not sufficient, the Company may consider selling one of its unencumbered vessels. Therefore, there is no substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, for a reasonable period of time. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities, or any other adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

em
ents. There have been no material changes to these policies or pronouncements in the six months ended June 30, 2024.3. | Transactions with Related Parties |
The Manager provides the vessels with a wide range of shipping services such as chartering, technical support and maintenance, insurance, consulting, financial and accounting services, for a fixed daily fee of $440, as per the management agreement between the Manager and the Company.
Based on the management agreement between the Manager and the Company, the Manager also receives a brokerage commission of 1.25% on freight, hire and demurrage per vessel. In addition, the Manager arranges for supervision onboard the vessels, when required, by superintendent engineers and when such visits exceed a period of five days in a twelve-month period, an amount of $500 is charged for each additional day (the “Superintendent fees”).
The Manager also acts as a sales and purchase broker for the Company in exchange for a commission fee equal to 1% of the gross sale or purchase price of vessels or companies. The commission fees relating to vessels purchased (“Commissions – vessels purchased”) are capitalized to the cost of the vessels as incurred, and are included in “Vessels, net” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Manager also provides crew management services to the vessels. These services have been subcontracted by the Manager to an affiliated ship-management company, Hellenic Manning Overseas Inc. The Company pays to the Manager a fixed monthly fee of $
F-9
In addition to management services, the Company reimburses the Manager for the compensation of its executive officers (the “Executive compensation”). Furthermore, the Company rents office space from the Manager and incurs a rental expense (the “Rental Expense”). The related expenses are included in “General and administrative expenses – related party” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The services provided by Stealth Maritime Corporation S.A. (Note 1) which is the manager of Imperial Petroleum Inc.’s vessels are identical with the services provided by Brave Maritime Corporation S.A..
In addition, an allocation of general and administrative expenses incurred by Imperial Petroleum Inc. for the period from January 1, 2023 to June 21, 2023 has been included in General and administrative expenses of the Company based on the number of calendar days the Company’s vessels operated under Imperial Petroleum Inc.’s fleet compared to the number of calendar days of the total Imperial Petroleum Inc.’s fleet. These expenses consisted mainly of executive compensation, office rent, investor relations and consultancy fees (the “General and administrative expenses – related party”).
The current account balance with the Manager at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 was a liability of $461,695 and $1,080,047, respectively. The liability as at December 31, 2023 mainly relates to commissions on vessels purchased. The liability as at June 30, 2024 mainly represents payments made by the Manager on behalf of the Company.
On July 7, 2023, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement with Imperial Petroleum Inc. for the acquisition of the vessel “Afrapearl II” for an aggregate consideration of $43,000,000. The vessel was delivered to the Company on July 14, 2023. 10% of the total consideration i.e. $4,300,000 was paid in cash, while the remaining amount of $38,700,000 is payable in July 2024 and has no stated interest. The vessel was recorded at its fair value of $40,000,000 as determined by an independent broker and the liability was recorded at $35,700,000 (the “Remaining Purchase Price”) on July 7, 2023. Since the payment of the remaining amount depended only on the passage of time, this arrangement was accounted for as seller financing and the financing component amounting to $3,000,000, being the difference between the Remaining Purchase Price and the amount of $38,700,000 payable in July 2024, was accounted for as interest over the life of the liability i.e. until July 2024. The interest expense amounting to $1,516,436 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is included in “Interest expense-related party” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

payable in April 2025, will be accounted for as interest over the life of the liability i.e. until April 2025. The interest expense amounting to $175,395 for the period fromApril 10, 2024 to June 30, 2024

7. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk |
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits trade and other receivables, balances with related parties, trade accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities and warrant liability. The Company limits its credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable.
Fair Value Disclosures:
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.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, balances with related parties, trade and other receivables, trade accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents and time deposits are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. The fair value of the Class B1, Class B2, Class C1 and Class C2 warrant liability is measured at each reporting period end and at each settlement date using the Black & Scholes model and is considered Level 3 item as it is derived by using significant unobservable inputs such as historical volatility.
8. | Stockholders’ equity |
Details of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock are discussed in Note 8 of the 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements and are supplemented by the below new activities in the
six-month
period ended June 30, 2024.Common shares:

32,200,000
Class B2 warrants, exercisable to322,000
common shares, at an exercise price of $42.5 (subject to further adjustments, as described below), for net proceeds, after discounts and commissions, of $6,132,714
. The above exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of Class B1 and Class B2 warrants reflect the proportionate adjustment following the RSS (Note 1). Up to the RSS, 73,200 common shares were issued upon the cashless exercise of 7,320,000 class B1 warrants. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Class B1 and Class B2 warrants were adjusted further, decreasing the exercise price of both the Class B1 and Class B2 warrants to $1.2573 and increasing the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Class B1 warrants to 2,069,999 shares and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Class B2 warrants to 10,813,119, based on the lowest daily VWAP for the Company’s common stock during an adjustment period ending on the fifth trading day after the first trading day after the effective time of the RSS pursuant to the terms of such warrants. As of June 30, 2024,2,016,338
common shares were issued upon the cashless exercise of Class B1 warrants and3,325,145
common shares were issued upon the exercise of Class B2 warrants, for net proceeds of $4,229,276

common shares, at an exercise price of $8.5 (subject to further adjustments, as described below), for net proceeds, after discounts and commissions, of $5,281,565
. The above exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of Class C1 and Class C2 warrants reflect the proportionate adjustment following the RSS (Note 1). Up to the RSS, 316,000 common shares were issued upon the cashless exercise of 31,600,000 class C1 warrants The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Class C1 and Class C2 warrants were adjusted further, decreasing the exercise price of both the Class C1 and Class C2 warrants to $1.2573 and increasing the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Class C1 warrants to 1,814,636 shares and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Class C2 warrants to 9,119,943, based on the lowest daily VWAP for the Company’s common stock during an adjustment period ending on the fifth trading day after the first trading day after the effective time of the RSS pursuant to the terms of such warrants. As of June 30, 2024, 2,094,096 common shares were issued upon the cashless exercise of Class C1 warrants and1,255,228
common shares were issued upon the exercise of Class C2 warrants, for net proceeds of $1,578,198
.The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the Class B1, Class B2, Class C1 and Class C2 warrants has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the warrants should be classified as liability due to certain exercise price adjustment clauses of warrant terms, which provide for a reduction in the warrants’ initial exercise price. For those warrants meeting the classification of liability, the initial recognition is at fair value and are remeasured at each balance sheet date with the offsetting adjustments recorded in change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Upon settlement or termination, warrants classified as liabilities at fair value, are marked to their fair value at the settlement date and then the liability settled.
Of the total gross proceeds of the offerings amounting to $13,147,990, $8,176,955 were allocated to the Class B1, Class B2, Class C1 and Class C2 warrants, representing their fair value at issuance, while the remaining gross proceeds of the offerings amounting to $4,971,035 were allocated to common shares. Of the total issuance costs of the offerings amounting to $1,733,711, $1,078,622 were allocated to the Class B1, Class B2, Class C1 and Class C2 warrants based on their relative fair value to the total gross proceeds, were expensed immediately and were included in General and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated statement of comprehensive income, while the remaining $655,089 of the issuance costs were presented contra to the offering proceeds classified within equity.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, upon the exercise of the Class B1, Class B2, Class C1 and Class C2 warrants, as described above, the Company marked the warrants to their fair value at the settlement date and then settled the warrant liability. As of June 30, 2024, the Company
re-valued
the outstanding warrants classified as liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $15,176,536 resulting from the change in the fair value of the liability for the unexercised warrants and the settlements of the liability throughout the period.The value of the outstanding warrants as of June 30, 2024, was $14,486,493
