In April 2024, we sold the Gstaad Grace II (ex. Stealth Haralambos) to a third party, for $42 million.

In May 2024, we entered into an agreement with entities affiliated with the family of our Chief Executive Officer to acquire the handysize drybulk carrier Neptulus, built in 2012, and the product tanker Clean

Imperial

, built in 2009, with an aggregate capacity of approximately 73,870 dwt. In August 2024, we took delivery of the handysize drybulk carrier Neptulus. The product tanker Clean Imperial is expected to be delivered on a charter-free basis in the first quarter of 2025.

On September 20, 2024, the Company entered into memorandums of agreement to acquire seven Japanese built bulkers for an aggregate purchase price of $129 million, with companies affiliated with members of the family of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Table of Contents

Result of Operations

Six-month

period ended June 30, 2024 compared to the

six-month

period ended June 30, 2023.

REVENUES

- Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 amounted to $88.2 million, a decrease of $36.3 million, or 29.2%, compared to revenues of $124.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a year to date decline of daily spot market rates of suezmax tankers by almost 25%.

VOYAGE EXPENSES-

Total voyage expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $30.6 million compared to $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $5.5 million decrease in voyage expenses is mainly attributed to decreased port expenses by approximately $3.0 million due to decreased transit through Suez Canal and decreased voyage commissions by approximately $1.1 million in conjunction with lower revenues.

VESSELS’ OPERATING EXPENSES-

Total vessels’ operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $12.5 million compared to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $1.4 million decrease in vessels’ operating expenses was primarily due to the decrease of our average fleet size.

DRYDOCKING COSTS

- Total drydocking costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. This decrease is due to the fact that during the six months ended June 30, 2024 one tanker vessel underwent drydocking while in the same period of last year two of our Handysize drybulk carriers underwent drydocking.

MANAGEMENT FEES – RELATED PARTY -

Management fees were $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in management fees in the six months ended June 30, 2024 is attributed to the decrease of our average fleet by 0.8 vessels.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

— General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. This change is mainly attributed to the increase in stock-based compensation costs, partly offset by a reduction in reporting expenses due to the

spin-off

of C3is Inc. which was completed in June 2023.

DEPRECIATION

— Depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $8.2 million, a $0.5 million decrease from $8.7 million for the same period of last year, due to the decrease in the average number of our vessels.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

- Other operating income - for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.9 million and related to the collection of a claim in connection with repairs undertaken in prior years.

NET LOSS ON SALE OF VESSEL

- for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.6 million and related to the sale of the Aframax tanker Gstaad Grace II (ex. Stealth Haralambos) to a third party.

IMPAIRMENT LOSS

- for the six months period ended June 30, 2024 was nil. Impairment loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2023 stood at $9.0 million, and related to the

spin-off

of two of four drybulk carriers to C3is Inc. The decline of drybulk vessels’ fair values, at the time of the spin off, compared to when these vessels were acquired resulted in the incurrence of impairment loss.

INTEREST AND FINANCE COSTS

— for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0.008 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The $1.8 million of costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 relate mainly to $1.3 million of interest charges incurred up to the full repayment of all outstanding loans concluded in April 2023 along with the full amortization of $0.5 million of loan related charges following the repayment of the Company’s outstanding debt.

INTEREST INCOME

- for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $3.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The increase is mainly attributed to $1.5 million of accrued interest income – related party for the six months ended June 30, 2024 in connection with the $38.7 million of the sale price of the Aframax tanker Afrapearl II (ex. Stealth Berana) which was receivable by July 2024.

Table of Contents

NET INCOME

— As a result of the above, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $36.2 million, compared to a net income of $52.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities

— was $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $63.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was mainly attributed to the decreased revenues generated in 2024 which led to lower net income generation.

Net cash used in investing activities

— was $60.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This amount mainly represents the aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition of one Aframax and one MR tanker vessel and the net change of funds under time deposits offset by the aggregate consideration received from the sale of the Aframax vessel. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounting to $20.2 million related mainly to the aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition of two handysize dry vessels offset by the net change of funds under time deposits.

Net cash used in financing activities

— was an outflow of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, consisting mainly from $1.8 million of proceeds from warrants exercise offset by an outflow of $2.5 million utilized for stock repurchases under the $10 million share buyback program which commenced in September 2023 and $0.8 million paid in aggregate during the first half of 2024 as dividends on the Company’s preferred shares. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $64.4 million and consisted mainly of $70.4 million utilized for loan repayments, $5.0 million of cash retained by C3is Inc. at its

spin-off

and $0.9 million paid for dividends on our Series A preferred shares partially offset by the $11.9 million of net proceeds from equity offerings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $69.7 million and $60.0 million under time deposits. In April 2024, we completed the sale of our Aframax tanker Gstaad Grace II (ex. Stealth Haralambos) from which we received a consideration of $42.0 million. In addition, in July 2024 we received $39.0 million from C3is Inc. which was part of the consideration from the sale of our Aframax tanker Afrapearl II to C3is Inc. in July 2023, and $6.8 million from Class E Warrant exercises.

Our principal sources of funds for our liquidity needs have been cash flows from operations, equity offerings and exercise of warrants. We expect to finance future fleet growth mainly from our operating cash flows and equity offerings or bank borrowings if the market conditions change and such a need will arise. 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 relate to funding expenses for operating our vessels, any vessel acquisition and vessel improvements that may be required and general and administrative expenses. In September 2024, we entered into agreements to acquire seven drybulk carriers for an aggregate purchase price of $129 million. We expect to finance the purchase price for each vessel with cash-on-hand and we have the option to pay for the vessels latest by one year from each respective purchase agreement.

As of June 30, 2024, we had no outstanding debt, as all of our outstanding loans were repaid within 2023.

We believe that our working capital along with our cash flows generated from operations are sufficient for our present short-term liquidity requirements. We believe that, unless there is a major and sustained downturn in market conditions applicable to our specific shipping industry segment, our internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to fund our operations, including working capital requirements, for at least 12 months taking into account any possible capital commitments and debt service requirements that may arise in the future.

Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter hire rates and vessel values, supply and demand for oil and oil products, charter counterparty performance, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers to scheduled and unscheduled drydockings, shipyard performance, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, ability to obtain financing and comply with covenants in our financing arrangements, the ability to consummate the acquisition of our contracted vessels and operate them profitably, potential liability from pending or future litigation or actions taken by regulatory authorities, domestic and international political conditions, the conflict in Ukraine and related sanctions, the conflict in Israel and Gaza, potential disruption of shipping routes due to ongoing attacks by Houthis in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden or accidents and political events or acts by terrorists. Risks and uncertainties are further described in the Annual Report and other reports we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

(Expressed in United States dollars)

1.	General Information and Basis of Presentation

Imperial Petroleum Inc. (“Imperial” or “Company”) was formed by StealthGas Inc (the “former Parent Company”) on May 14, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Initial share capital of Imperial consisted of 33 common shares. StealthGas Inc. separated its crude and product tankers by transferring to Imperial its interest in 4 subsidiaries, Clean Power Inc., MR Roi Inc., King of Hearts Inc. and Tankpunk Inc. (the “Subsidiaries”), each owning one tanker. The transfer was completed on November 10, 2021 in exchange for 318,318 newly issued common shares and 795,878 Series A 8.75% Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) in Imperial. On December 3, 2021, StealthGas Inc. distributed the 318,351 common shares and 795,878 8.75% Series A Preferred Shares (with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share) in Imperial to holders of StealthGas Inc.’s common stock on a pro rata basis

(the “Spin-Off”).

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Imperial and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) using the historical carrying costs of the assets and the liabilities of the Subsidiaries from their dates of incorporation until their dates of disposal, if any.

On June 21, 2023, the Company completed the

spin-off

transaction (the

“Spin-off”)

of its wholly-owned subsidiary C3is Inc. (“C3is”), which was formed by the Company in July 2022. Prior to the

Spin-off,

Imperial received all issued and outstanding common shares and all 600,000 5.00% Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred shares of C3is (Note 3) in exchange for the contribution to C3is of the entities owning Imperial’s two Handysize drybulk carriers, “Eco Bushfire” and “Eco Angelbay” together with $5,000,000 in cash as working capital. Imperial, as the sole shareholder of C3is, distributed the C3is’s common shares to the Company’s stockholders and warrant holders in accordance with the terms of the Company’s outstanding warrants on a pro rata basis on June 21, 2023. Common shares of C3is commenced trading on June 21, 2023 on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “CISS”. Imperial continues to operate in the tanker and dry bulk shipping market and remains a publicly traded company.

The accompanying 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 Form

20-F

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 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.

The Company’s vessels are managed by Stealth Maritime Corporation S.A. (the “Manager”), a company controlled by members of the family of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Manager, a related party, was incorporated in Liberia and registered in Greece on May 17, 1999 under the provisions of law 89/1967, 378/1968 and article 25 of law 27/75 as amended by article 4 of law 2234/94.

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 per vessel operating under a voyage or time charter or $125 per vessel operating under a bareboat charter (the “Management fees”) and a brokerage commission of 1.25% on freight, hire and demurrage per vessel (the “Brokerage commissions”), as per the management agreement between the Manager and the Company. 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 provides crew management services to the vessels Magic Wand, Clean Thrasher, Clean Sanctuary, Clean Justice, Suez Protopia, Suez Enchanted, Eco Wildfire, Glorieuse, Clean Nirvana since February 2023, to the vessel Aquadisiac since the end of February 2024, to the vessel Gstaad Grace II (ex.

These services have been subcontracted by the Manager to an affiliated ship-management company, Hellenic Manning Overseas Inc. (ex. Navis Maritime Services Inc.). The Company pays to the Manager a fixed monthly fee of $2,500 per vessel for crew management services (the “Crew management 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.

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”).

On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into memoranda of agreement with companies affiliated with members of the family of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for the acquisition of the vessels “Glorieuse” and “Eco Wildfire” for a total consideration of $35.5 million (Note 4). The vessels were delivered to the Company on March 27, 2023 and March 28, 2023, respectively. The aggregate purchase price of $18,500,000 of the vessel Glorieuse comprised of $8,500,000 in cash and 13,875 Series C Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares (“Series C Preferred Shares”) (Note 8).

Table of Contents

On June 21, 2023, the Company completed the

Spin-off

(Note 1), and received 600,000 Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred shares of C3is, having a liquidation preference of $25 per share and a par value of $0.01 per share. The Company is the holder of all of the issued and outstanding Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred shares of C3is (Note 1). The Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred shares do not have voting rights. The Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred are convertible into common stock of C3is at the Company’s option at any time and from time to time on or after the date that is the date 90 days following the issuance date and currently have a conversion price equal to $1.2573. The conversion price will be further adjusted to the lowest price of issuance of common stock by C3is in any registered offering of common stock of C3is after the original issuance of Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares. Furthermore, Imperial is entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends, at the annual rate of 5.00% on the stated amount of $25 per share, of the 600,000 Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred shares, receivable quarterly in arrears on the 15

day of January, April, July and October in each year, subject to C3is’s Board of Directors approval. The Company recognized for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 and for the period from June 21, 2023 to June 30, 2023, the amount of $379,167 and $20,833, respectively, which is presented in ‘Dividend income from related party’ in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, the aggregate value of investments in C3is amounted to $12,798,500 and $12,796,417, including $162,500 and $160,417 of accrued dividends, respectively and are separately presented as ‘Investment in related party’ in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not identify any indications for impairment or any observable prices for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

On July 7, 2023, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement with C3is for the disposal of the vessel “Stealth Berana” for an aggregate consideration of $43,000,000. The vessel was delivered to her new owners on July 14, 2023. 10% of the total consideration i.e. $4,300,000 was received in cash, while the remaining amount of $38,700,000 was received in July 2024 and had no stated interest. The Company’s receivable from C3is was recorded at its fair value of $35,700,000 (the “Remaining Selling Price”) on July 14, 2023. Since the collection of the remaining amount of $38,700,000 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 Selling Price of $35,700,000 and the amount of $38,700,000, receivable in July 2024, was accounted for as interest income over the life of the receivable i.e. until July 2024. Interest income amounting to nil and $1,516,436 for the

six-month

periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, is included in “Interest income -related party” in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

On September 5, 2023, the Company entered into memoranda of agreement with companies affiliated with members of the family of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) for the acquisition of two tanker vessels for an aggregate purchase price of $71,000,000. On February 18 and 28, 2024 the two tanker vessels “Aquadisiac” and “Gstaad Grace II (ex. Stealth Haralambos)”, respectively, were delivered to the Company.

On May 17, 2024, the Company entered into memoranda of agreement with companies affiliated with members of the family of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for the acquisition of one handysize drybulk vessel and one product tanker vessel for an

aggregate

purchase price of $39,000,000. No deposit was paid as of June 30, 2024. The handysize drybulk vessel was delivered to the Company in the third quarter of 2024 (Note 13). The product tanker vessel is expected to be delivered to the Company in the first quarter of 2025.

The current account balance with C3is at June 30, 2024 was a receivable of $39,423,256 (December 31, 2023: $37,906,821). The receivable relates to the outstanding amount for the disposal of the vessel “Stealth Berana” which includes the Remaining Selling Price, accrued interest of $2,879,795 and receivable of $843,461 relating to inventory on board the vessel.

The current account balance with the Manager at June 30, 2024 was a liability of $3,347,049 (December 31, 2023: $2,324,334). The liability mainly represents payments made by the Manager on behalf of the Company.

The disposal during the six month period ended June 30, 2024 relates to the sale of vessel “Gstaad Grace II (ex. Stealth Haralambos)”. On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement with an unrelated third party, for the disposal of the vessel “Gstaad Grace II (ex. Stealth Haralambos)” for an aggregate consideration of $42,000,000. The vessel was delivered to her new owners on April 26, 2024. Net loss recognized from the sale of the vessel “Gstaad Grace II (ex. Stealth Haralambos)”, which is included in the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income under the caption “Net loss on sale of vessel” for the

period ended June 30, 2024, amounted to $1,589,702.

As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, the Company performed an impairment review of its vessels, due to the prevailing conditions in the shipping industry. An impairment loss amounting to $8,996,023 was identified and recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the

Spin-off

six-month

period ended June 30, 2024.

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, trade accounts payable, balances with related parties and accrued liabilities. 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. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, time deposits with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions.

Fair Value Disclosures:

The Company has categorized assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based upon the fair value hierarchy specified by the guidance. The levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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, time deposits, trade and other receivables, trade accounts payable, balances with related parties other than investment in related party and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short term nature of these financial instruments. Cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities.

9.	Earnings per share

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share as follows:


	For the six-month periods ended June 30,
	2023			2024
Numerator
Net income		52,550,587			36,179,042
Less: Cumulative dividends on Series A Preferred Shares		(870,494	)		(870,492	)
Less: Cumulative dividends on Series C Preferred Shares		(185,000	)		—
Less: Undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested shares		(977,828	)		(1,985,920	)

Net income attributable to common shareholders, basic		50,517,265			33,322,630
Add: Undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested shares		977,828			1,985,920
Add: Cumulative dividends on Series C Preferred Shares		185,000			—
Less: Undistributed earnings re-allocated to participating non-vested shares		(862,466	)		(1,781,095	)

Net income attributable to common shareholders, diluted		50,817,627			33,527,455
Denominator
Weighted average number of shares outstanding, basic		15,940,369			27,789,766
Weighted average number of shares outstanding, diluted		18,304,134			31,515,129

Earnings per share, basic		3.17			1.20
Earnings per share, diluted		2.78			1.06

As of June 30, 2024, diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from the incremental shares of the 742,250 unexercised options to acquire common shares, the 1,692,831

non-vested

share awards that had dilutive effect and the incremental shares relating to the exercise of the 7,599,999 Class E warrants (Note 6) that are in the money as of reporting date, calculated with the treasury stock method.

As of June 30, 2023, diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from conversion of outstanding Series C Preferred Shares (Note 8) calculated with the “if converted” method by using the average closing market price over the reporting period.

Securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, because to do so would have anti-dilutive effect, are any incremental shares of unexercised warrants that are

out-of-the

money as of the reporting date, calculated with the treasury stock method. As of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the number of common shares that can potentially be issued relating to unexercised warrants that were

out-of-the

money was 2,310,268 and 8,376,119 (Note 6).
