CASTOR MARITIME INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars – except for share data unless otherwise stated)

1. Basis of Presentation and General information:

Castor Maritime Inc. (“Castor”) was incorporated in September 2017 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Castor and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the worldwide transportation of ocean-going cargoes through its vessel-owning subsidiaries. On December 21, 2018, Castor’s common shares began trading on the Euronext NOTC, under the symbol “CASTOR” and, on February 11, 2019, they began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “CTRM”. As of March 31, 2023, Castor was controlled by Thalassa Investment Co. S.A. (“Thalassa”) by virtue of its ownership of 100% of the Series B preferred shares of Castor and, as a result, Thalassa controlled the outcome of matters on which shareholders are entitled to vote. Thalassa is controlled by Petros Panagiotidis, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

On March 7, 2023 (the “Distribution Date”), the Company contributed the subsidiaries constituting the Company’s Aframax/LR2 and Handysize tanker segments and Elektra (as defined below) to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Toro Corp. (“Toro”), in exchange for (i) the issuance by Toro to Castor of all 9,461,009 of Toro’s issued and outstanding common shares, and 140,000 1.00% Series A fixed rate cumulative perpetual convertible preferred shares of Toro (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), having a stated amount of $1,000 and a par value of $0.001 per share and (ii) the issuance of 40,000 Series B preferred shares of Toro, par value $0.001 per share, to Pelagos Holdings Corp, a company controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. On the same day, the Company distributed all of Toro’s common shares outstanding to its holders of common stock of record at the close of business on February 22, 2023 at a ratio of one Toro common share for every ten Company common shares (such transactions collectively, the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off was concluded on March 7, 2023. Results of operations and cash flows of the Aframax/LR2 and Handysize tanker segments and assets and liabilities that were part of the Spin -Off are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented (Note 3). Toro’s shares commenced trading on the same date on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TORO”. As part of the Spin-Off, Toro entered into various agreements effecting the separation of Toro’s business from the Company, including a Contribution and Spin-Off Distribution Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the Company agreed to indemnify Toro and its vessel-owning subsidiaries for any and all obligations and other liabilities arising from or relating to the operation, management or employment of vessels or subsidiaries the Company retained after the Distribution Date and Toro agreed to indemnify the Company for any and all obligations and other liabilities arising from or relating to the operation, management or employment of the vessels contributed to it or its vessel-owning subsidiaries, and (ii) Toro replaced the Company as guarantor under the $18.0 Million Term Loan Facility. The Contribution and Spin-Off Distribution Agreement also provided for the settlement or extinguishment of certain liabilities and other obligations between the Company and Toro and provides the Company with certain registration rights relating to Toro’s common shares, if any, issued upon conversion of the Toro Series A Preferred Shares issued to the Company in connection with the Spin-Off.

CASTOR MARITIME INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars – except for share data unless otherwise stated)

1. Basis of Presentation and General information (continued):

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report. Apart from the below additional policies, there have been no material changes to these policies in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023.

New significant accounting policies adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2023

Investment in related party (Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement):
The Company has elected to measure equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, that do not qualify for the practical expedient in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement to estimate fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent), at its cost minus impairment, if any. At each reporting period, the Company also evaluates indicators such as the investee’s performance and its ability to continue as going concern and market conditions, to determine whether an investment is impaired in which case, the Company will estimate the fair value of the investment to determine the amount of the impairment loss.

Discontinued Operations

The Company classifies as discontinued operations, a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of by sale, disposed of other than by sale or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the company’s operations and financial results (Note 3).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

There are no recent accounting pronouncements the adoption of which is expected to have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in the current period.

3. Discontinued operations

The Company's discontinued operations relate to the operations of Toro, Elektra and the subsidiaries formerly comprising the Company’s Aframax/LR2 and Handysize tanker segments following completion of the Spin-Off on March 7, 2023. The Company has no continuing involvement in the Aframax/LR2 and Handysize tanker business as of such date (Note 1).

(a)     Castor Ships: During the period from September 1, 2020 (being the initial Castor Ships Management Agreements effective date), and up to June 30, 2022, pursuant to the terms and conditions stipulated in a master management agreement (the “Master Management Agreement”) and separate commercial ship management agreements (the “Ship Management Agreements”) with Castor Ships (together, the “Castor Ships Management Agreements”), Castor Ships managed the Company’s business and provided commercial ship management, chartering and administrative services to the Company and its vessel owning subsidiaries. During the abovementioned period, the Company and its subsidiaries, in exchange for Castor Ship’s services, paid Castor Ships: (i) a flat quarterly management fee in the amount of $0.3 million for the management and administration of the Company’s business, (ii) a daily fee of $250 per vessel for the provision of the services under the Ship Management Agreements, (iii) a commission rate of 1.25% on all charter agreements arranged by Castor Ships and (iv) a commission of 1% on each vessel sale and purchase transaction.

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars – except for share data unless otherwise stated)

4. Transactions with Related Parties (continued):

Effective July 1, 2022, the Company and each of the Company’s vessel owning subsidiaries entered, by mutual consent, into an amended and restated master management agreement with Castor Ships (the “Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement”), appointing Castor Ships as commercial and technical manager for the Company’s vessels. The Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement along with new ship management agreements signed between each vessel owning subsidiary and Castor Ships (together, the “Amended Castor Ship Management Agreements”) superseded in their entirety the Castor Ships Management Agreements. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement, Castor Ships manages the Company’s overall business and provides the Company’s vessel owning subsidiaries with a wide range of shipping services such as crew management, technical management, operational employment management, insurance management, provisioning, bunkering, accounting and audit support services, commercial, chartering and administrative services, including, but not limited to, securing employment for the Company’s fleet, arranging and supervising the vessels’ commercial operations, providing technical assistance where requested in connection with the sale of a vessel, negotiating loan and credit terms for new financing upon request and providing general corporate and administrative services, among other matters, which it may choose to subcontract to other parties at its discretion. Castor Ships is generally not liable to the Company for any loss, damage, delay or expense incurred during the provision of the foregoing services, except insofar as such events arise from Castor Ships or its employees’ fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct (for which the Company’s recovery will be limited to two times the Flat Management Fee, as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Castor Ships will in no circumstances be responsible for the actions of the Company’s crews. The Company has also agreed to indemnify Castor Ships in certain circumstances.

In exchange for the services provided by Castor Ships, the Company and its vessel owning subsidiaries, pay Castor Ships (i) a flat quarterly management fee in the amount of $0.75 million for the management and administration of their business (the “Flat Management Fee”), (ii) a commission of 1.25% on all gross income received from the operation of their vessels, and (iii) a commission of 1% on each consummated sale and purchase transaction. In addition, each of the Company’s vessel owning subsidiaries pay Castor Ships a daily management fee of $925 per containership and dry bulk vessel, and a daily management fee of $975 per tanker vessel (collectively, the “Ship Management Fees”) for the provision of the ship management services provided in the ship management agreements. Pavimar is paid directly by the dry bulk vessel owning subsidiaries its previously agreed proportionate daily management fee of $600 per vessel and Castor Ships is paid the residual amount of $325 of the agreed daily ship management fee. The Ship Management Fees and Flat Management Fee will be adjusted annually for inflation on each anniversary of the Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement’s effective date. The Company also reimburses Castor Ships for extraordinary fees and costs, such as the costs of extraordinary repairs, maintenance or structural changes to the Company’s vessels.

The Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement has a term of eight years from its effective date and this term automatically renews for a successive eight-year term on each anniversary of the effective date, starting from the first anniversary of the effective date, unless the agreements are terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions contained therein. In the event that the Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement is terminated by the Company or is terminated by Castor Ships due to a material breach of the master management agreement by the Company or a change of control in the Company (including certain business combinations, such as a merger or the disposal of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or changes in key personnel such as the Company’s current directors or Chief Executive Officer), Castor Ships shall be entitled to a termination fee equal to seven times the total amount of the Flat Management Fee calculated on an annual basis. This termination fee is in addition to any termination fees provided for under each Ship Management Agreement.

In January 2023, Castor Ships transferred the technical sub-management of the Company’s containerships from Pavimar to a third-party ship management company.

4. Transactions with Related Parties (continued):

As of March 31, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Amended Castor Ship Management Agreements, Castor Ships (i) had subcontracted to a third-party ship management company the technical management of the Company’s containerships and (ii) was co-managing with Pavimar the Company’s dry bulk vessels. Castor Ships pays, at its own expense, the containership technical management company a fee for the services it has subcontracted to it, without any additional cost to the Company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred sale and purchase commissions amounting to $0 and $235,500, respectively, included in ‘Vessels, net’ in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.

The Amended Castor Ship Management Agreements also provide for an advance funding equal to one month of vessel daily operating costs to be placed with Castor Ships as working capital guarantee, refundable in case a vessel is no longer under Castor Ship’s management. As of December 31, 2022, such advances amounted to $3,514,098 and are presented in ‘Due from related parties, non-current’, in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated unaudited interim balance sheet, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, such advances amounted to $3,198,586 and $315,512, and are presented in ‘Due from related parties, non-current’ and ‘Due from related parties, current’, in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet, respectively. The amount of $315,512 is in relation to the two vessels that have been classified as held for sale (Note 4(b)). As of December 31, 2022, net amounts of $214 were due to Castor Ships in relation to operating expenses payments made by them on behalf of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, net amounts of $110,248 were due from Castor Ships in relation to operating expenses payments made by them on behalf of the Company.

Further, as of December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023, amounts of $227,408 and $46,325 were due to Castor Ships in connection with the services covered by the Castor Ships Management Agreements and the Amended Castor Ships Management Agreements, respectively. As a result, as of December 31, 2022, aggregate amounts of $227,622 were due to Castor Ships and are presented net in ‘Due from related parties, current’, in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.

(b)     Pavimar: From the Company’s inception and until June 30, 2022, Pavimar, provided, on an exclusive basis, all of the Company’s vessel owning subsidiaries with a wide range of shipping services, including crew management, technical management, operational management, insurance management, provisioning, bunkering, vessel accounting and audit support services, which it could choose to subcontract to other parties at its discretion. Effective January 1, 2020, and during the eight-month period ended August 31, 2020, the Company’s vessels then comprising its fleet were charged with a daily management fee of $500 per day per vessel. On September 1, 2020, the Company’s then vessel owning subsidiaries entered into revised ship management agreements with Pavimar which replaced the then existing ship management agreements in their entirety (the “Technical Management Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the Technical Management Agreements, effective September 1, 2020, Pavimar provided all of the Company’s vessel owning subsidiaries with the range of technical, crewing, insurance and operational services stipulated in the previous agreements in exchange for a daily management fee of $600 per vessel. Effective July 1, 2022, the technical management agreements entered into between Pavimar and the Company’s tanker vessel owning subsidiaries were terminated by mutual consent. In connection with such termination, Pavimar and the tanker vessel owning subsidiaries agreed to mutually discharge and release each other from any past and future liabilities arising from the respective agreements. Further, with effect from July 1, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Master Management Agreement, Pavimar, continues to provide, as co-manager with Castor Ships, the dry-bulk vessel owning subsidiaries with the same range of technical management services it provided prior to the Company’s entry into the Amended and Restated Management Agreement, in exchange for the previously agreed daily management fee of $600 per vessel. Pavimar also performed the technical management of containerships as sub-manager for Castor Ships from their date of acquisition. In late January 2023, Castor Ships transferred the technical sub-management of the Company’s containerships from Pavimar to a third-party ship management company.

(c)    Investment in related party:

As discussed in Note 1, as part of the Spin-Off Castor received 140,000 Series A Preferred Shares, having a stated amount of $1,000 and a par value of $0.001 per share. The Company is the holder of all of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares (Note 1). The Series A Preferred Shares do not have voting rights. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into common stock at the Company’s option commencing upon the third anniversary of the issue date until but excluding the seventh anniversary, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) 150% of the VWAP of Toro common shares over the five consecutive trading day period commencing on the distribution date, and (ii) the VWAP of Toro common shares over the 10 consecutive trading day period expiring on the trading day immediately prior to the date of delivery of written notice of the conversion; provided, that, in no event shall the conversion price be less than $2.50.

As there was no observable market for the Series A Preferred Shares, these were recognized at $117,222,135 (Note 11), being the fair value of the shares determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration a third-party valuation. The fair value on the initial recognition is deemed to be the cost. The valuation methodology applied comprised the bifurcation of the value of the Series A Preferred Shares in two components namely, the “straight” preferred stock component and the option component. The mean of the sum of the two components was used to estimate the value for the Series A Preferred Shares at $117,222,135.

However, for each quarterly dividend period commencing on or after the reset date (the seventh anniversary of the issue date of the Series A Preferred Shares), the dividend rate will be the dividend rate in effect for the prior quarterly dividend period multiplied by a factor of 1.3; provided that the dividend rate will not exceed 20% per annum in respect of any quarterly dividend period. As the first cash dividend will be received on the 15th day of each April, the Company recognized for the period from March 7, 2023 to March 31, 2023, the amount of $97,222, which is presented in ‘Dividend income from related party’ in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

11. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures:

The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash at banks, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, investments in listed equities, an investment in related party and amounts due from related party/(ies). The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of trade accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to related party/(ies) and long-term debt.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable trade, net, amounts due from/to related party/(ies) and accounts payable: The carrying values reported in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets for those financial instruments are reasonable estimates of their fair values due to their short-term maturity nature. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, current are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short term maturities. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for interest bearing cash classified as restricted cash, non-current and is considered Level 1 item of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment in listed equity securities: The carrying value reported in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet for this financial instrument represents its fair value and is considered Level 1 item of the fair value hierarchy as it is determined though quoted prices in an active market.

11. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures: (continued):

Long-term debt: The secured credit facilities discussed in Note 8, have a recorded value which is a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to their variable interest rate and are thus considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy as LIBOR and SOFR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans.

Investment in related party: Investments in related party is initially measured at fair value which is deemed to be the cost and subsequently assessed for the existence of any observable market for the Series A Preferred Shares and any observable price changes for identical or similar investments and the existence of any indications for impairment. As per the Company’s assessment no such case was identified as at March 31, 2023..

12. Commitments and Contingencies:

Various claims, lawsuits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. Currently, management is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company is covered for liabilities associated with the vessels’ actions to the maximum limits as provided by Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs, members of the International Group of P&I Clubs.

(a) Commitments under long-term lease contracts

The following table sets forth the future minimum contracted lease payments to the Company (gross of charterers’ commissions), based on the Company’s vessels’ commitments to non-cancelable time charter contracts as of March 31, 2023. Non-cancelable time charter contracts include both fixed-rate time charters or charters linked to the Baltic Dry Index (“BDI”). For index linked contracts, contracted lease payments have been calculated using the BDI linked rate as measured at the commencement date.

In addition, certain of the variable-rate contracts have the option at the Company’s option to convert to a fixed rate for a predetermined period, in such cases where lease payments have been converted to a fixed rate, the minimum contracted lease payments for this period are calculated using the agreed converted fixed rate. The calculation does not include any assumed off-hire days.

13. Earnings/(Loss) Per Common Share:

The Company calculates earnings/(loss) per common share by dividing net income/(loss) available to common shareholders in each period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during that period.

Diluted earnings/(loss) per common share, if applicable, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive instruments were exercised, resulting in the issuance of additional shares that would then share in the Company’s net income. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2023, the effect of the warrants outstanding during these periods and as of that dates, would be antidilutive, hence were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2023, ‘Basic earnings per share’ equaled ‘Diluted earnings per share’. For more information on the terms and conditions of these securities, please refer to Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.

During each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the Company generated its revenues from time charters.

The Company typically enters into fixed rate or index-linked rate charters with an option to convert to fixed rate time charters ranging from one month to twelve months and in isolated cases on longer terms depending on market conditions. The charterer has the full discretion over the ports visited, shipping routes and vessel speed, subject to the owner protective restrictions discussed below. Time charter agreements may have extension options ranging from months, to sometimes, years. The time charter party generally provides, among others, typical warranties regarding the speed and the performance of the vessel as well as owner protective restrictions such that the vessel is sent only to safe ports by the charterer, subject always to compliance with applicable sanction laws and war risks, and carries only lawful and non-hazardous cargo.

18. Segment Information:

In late 2022, the Company acquired two containerships. As a result of the different characteristics of such containerships in relation to the Company’s other operating segments, the Company determined that, with effect from the fourth quarter of 2022, it operated in two reportable segments: (i) dry bulk and (ii) containerships on a continued operations basis. The reportable segments reflect the internal organization of the Company and the way the chief operating decision maker reviews the operating results and allocates capital within the Company. In addition, the transport of dry cargo commodities, which are carried by dry bulk vessels, has different characteristics to the transport of containerized products (carried by containerships). In addition, the transportation of containerized goods, the nature of trade, as well as the trading routes, charterers and cargo handling, is different from the dry-bulk segment.

The table below presents information about the Company’s reportable segments as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2023. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of the reportable segments are the same as those followed in the preparation of the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Segment results are evaluated based on income from operations.

Subsequent Events:

(a) On April 20, 2023, the Company received written notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market that it was not in compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and was initially provided with 180 calendar days, or until October 17, 2023, to regain compliance with the subject requirement. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock during the compliance period and is considering its options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement. The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the cure period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance within the cure period and meets all other listing standards and requirements, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day cure period.

The Company intends to cure the deficiency within the prescribed cure period. During this time, the Company's common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's business operations are not affected by the receipt of the notification.
