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 2,122 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 2,122 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.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have

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, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
20-F
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2025 (the “2024 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, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The reporting and functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 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.
