Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 of Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (referred to herein as “we”, “us” or “Navios Acquisition”). All of the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). You should read this section together with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Navios Acquisition’s 2011 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This Report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are based on Navios Acquisition’s current expectations and observations. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to changes in the demand for product and chemical tankers, fluctuation of charter rates, competitive factors in the market in which Navios Acquisition operates; risks associated with operations outside the United States; and other factors listed from time to time in the Navios Acquisition’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent Developments and History

Dividend Policy

On November 9, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the third quarter of 2012 of $0.05 per common share payable on January 4, 2013 to stockholders of record as of December 19, 2012. The declaration and payment of any further dividends remains subject to the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, Navios Acquisition’s cash requirements as measured by market opportunities and restrictions under its credit agreements and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board may deem advisable.

Delivery of Nave Aquila

On November 9, 2012, Navios Acquisition took delivery of the Nave Aquila, a 49,991 dwt MR2 product tanker, from a South Korean shipyard. The vessel is chartered-out at net daily charter rate of $13,331 per day for a period of three years plus two one year options with 50% profit sharing, calculated monthly and based in a formula incorporating $1,000 premium above the relevant index. Base rate for the first optional year is $14,566 (net) plus profit sharing and for the second optional year $15,553 (net) plus profit sharing, both being charterer’s option.

Delivery of Nave Cetus

On October 30, 2012, Navios Acquisition took delivery of the Nave Cetus, a 74,581 dwt LR1 product tanker, from a South Korean shipyard. The vessel is chartered-out at net daily charter rate of $11,850 per day for a period of one year plus 50% profit sharing. The charterer has the option to extend the charter for another six months at the same terms.

Delivery of Nave Cassiopeia

On August 31, 2012, Navios Acquisition took delivery of the Nave Cassiopeia, a 74,711 dwt LR1 product tanker, from a South Korean shipyard for $43.8 million. The $43.8 million consisted of: (i) cash paid of $27.3 million, (ii) the issuance of $3.0 million of shares Series D Preferred Stock and (iii) $13.5 million was transferred from vessel deposits. The vessel is chartered-out for one year, at net daily charter rate of $11,850 per day. The charter contract also provides for 50% profit sharing. The charterer has the option to extend the charter for another six months at the same terms.

Equity Transactions

Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement entered into March 30, 2011, Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) exchanged 7,676,000 shares of Navios Acquisition’s common stock it held for 1,000 shares of non-voting Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of Navios Acquisition (see Note 13 of the condensed interim financial statement included herein).

On August 31, 2012, and October 30, 2012 Navios Acquisition issued 600 shares of its authorized Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”) to a shipyard, in partial settlement of the purchase price of the newbuild LR1 product tankers, Nave Cassiopeia and Nave Cetus. The Series D Preferred Stock contains a 6% per annum

dividend payable quarterly, starting one year after delivery of the vessel. The Series D Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert into shares of common stock 30 months after issuance at a price per share of common stock equal to $10.00. The holder of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into common stock prior to the scheduled maturity dates at a price of $7.00 per share of common stock. The Series D Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights. Navios Acquisition is obligated to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock (or converted common shares) at holder’s option exercisable beginning on 18 months after issuance redeemable at par at up to 12 equal quarterly installments.

As of November 14, 2012, Navios Acquisition had outstanding: 40,517,413 shares of common stock, 3,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 540 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of the two LR1 product tankers, 1,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued to Navios Holdings, 600 Series D Preferred Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of two LR1 product tankers and 6,037,994 public warrants. Included in the number of shares and warrants are 12,752 units (one unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant).

Vessel Deliveries and Acquisitions

On January 20, 2012, Navios Acquisition took delivery of the Nave Estella, a 75,000 dwt LR1 product tanker, from a South Korean shipyard for $44.6 million. Cash paid was $11.0 million and $33.6 million was transferred from vessel deposits. The vessel is chartered-out at a net daily charter rate of $11,850 for a period of three years plus two one year options. The charter contract also contains clauses for profit-sharing.

On July 31, 2012, Navios Acquisition took delivery of the Nave Atria, a 49,992 dwt MR2 product tanker, from a South Korean shipyard for $37.6 million. Cash paid was $9.0 million and $28.6 million was transferred from vessel deposits. The vessel is chartered-out at net daily charter rate of $13,331 per day for a period of three years plus two one year options. The charter contract also provides for 50% profit sharing.

Fleet

“Core fleet” refers to tanker vessels, including the new buildings to be delivered. The current “core fleet” consists of 29 vessels totaling 3,319,141 dwt. The 19 vessels in operation aggregate approximately 2,769,141 dwt and have an average age of 5.2 years. Navios Acquisition has currently fixed 100.0%, 83.4% and 55.2% of its 2012, 2013 and 2014 available days, respectively, of its fleet, representing contracted revenues (net of commissions), based on the rates from current charter agreements of $150.7 million, $173.8 million and $140.4 million, respectively. Although these revenues are based on contractual charter rates, any contract is subject to performance by the counterparties and us. Additionally, the level of these revenues would decrease depending on the vessels’ off-hire days to perform periodic maintenance. The average contractual daily charter-out rate for the core fleet is $25,631, $22,667 and $25,547 for 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Charter Policy and Industry Outlook

Our core fleet consists of 29 vessels, of which seven VLCCs are chartered out for an average of 6.6 years at approximately $40,440 net per day, 12 vessels are chartered out for periods ranging from six months to three years and the remaining 10 vessels are still to be delivered. Of the remaining vessels being delivered during the period from the fourth quarter of 2012 through the fourth quarter of 2014, we have chartered out three MR2 tanker vessels and two LR1 tanker vessels for periods ranging from one to three years. As a result, the average charter out period of our entire fleet is 3.1 years. Many of our charters have profit sharing arrangements (see fleet table above). We intend to deploy the open vessels that have not been chartered out to leading charterers in a mix of long, medium and short-term time charters. This chartering strategy is intended to allow us to capture increased profits during strong charter markets, while developing relatively stable cash flows from longer term time charters. We will also seek profit sharing arrangements in our long-term time charters, to provide us with potential incremental revenue above the contracted minimum charter rates.

We intend to grow our fleet using Navios Holdings’ global network of relationships and extensive experience in the marine transportation industry, coupled with our financial resources and financing capability, to make selective acquisitions of young, high quality, modern, double-hulled vessels in the crude oil transportation, product and chemical tanker sectors. Vessel prices in these sectors have been severely affected by the continuing scarcity of debt financing available to shipping industry participants resulting from the recent worldwide financial crisis and because of the depressed charter rates for crude carriers and tankers that have persisted since the fall of 2008.

We believe that developments in the marine transportation industry, particularly in the crude oil transportation, product tanker and chemical tanker sectors as well as the recent financial crisis which continues to adversely affect the availability of credit to shipping industry participants, have created significant opportunities to acquire vessels near historically low (inflation-adjusted) prices and employ them in a manner that will provide attractive returns on capital.

Factors Affecting Navios Acquisition’s Results of Operations

We believe the principal factors that will affect our future results of operations are the economic, regulatory, political and governmental conditions that affect the shipping industry generally and that affect conditions in countries and markets in which our vessels engage in business. Other key factors that will be fundamental to our business, future financial condition and results of operations include:

 

 

the demand for seaborne transportation services;

 

 

the ability of Navios Holdings’ commercial and chartering operations to successfully employ our vessels at economically attractive rates, particularly as our fleet expands and our charters expire;

 

 

the effective and efficient technical management of our vessels;

 

 

Navios Holdings’ ability to satisfy technical, health, safety and compliance standards of major commodity traders; and

 

 

the strength of and growth in the number of our customer relationships, especially with major commodity traders.

In addition to the factors discussed above, we believe certain specific factors will impact our consolidated results of operations. These factors include:

 

 

the charter hire earned by our vessels under our charters;

 

 

our access to capital required to acquire additional vessels and/or to implement our business strategy;

 

 

our ability to sell vessels at prices we deem satisfactory;

 

 

our level of debt and the related interest expense and amortization of principal; and

 

 

the level of any dividend to our stockholders.

Navios Acquisition believes that the important measures for analyzing trends in its results of operations consist of the following:

 

(1) Available days: Available days for the fleet are total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Acquisition’s possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydocking or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.
(2) Operating days: Operating days are the number of available days in the relevant period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a relevant period during which vessels actually generate revenues.
(3)

Fleet utilization: Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Acquisition’s vessels were available for generating

 

4


Table of Contents
  revenue, and is determined by dividing the number of operating days during a relevant period by the number of available days during that period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels.
(4) Time Charter Equivalent: Time Charter Equivalent is defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a relevant period divided by the number of available days during the period.

Voyage and Time Charter

Revenues are driven primarily by the number of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which such vessels operate and the amount of daily charter hire rates that the vessels earn under charters, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

 

 

the duration of the charters;

 

 

the level of spot market rates at the time of charters;

 

 

decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;

 

 

the amount of time spent positioning vessels;

 

 

the amount of time that vessels spend in drydock undergoing repairs and upgrades;

 

 

the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and

 

 

the aggregate level of supply and demand in the tanker shipping industry

Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to long-term which may be many years. In general, a long-term time charter assures the vessel owner of a consistent stream of revenue. Operating the vessel in the spot market affords the owner greater spot market opportunity, which may result in high rates when vessels are in high demand or low rates when vessel availability exceeds demand. Vessel charter rates are affected by world economics, international events, weather conditions, strikes, governmental policies, supply and demand, and many other factors that might be beyond the control of management.

Consistent with industry practice, Navios Acquisition uses TCE rates, which are defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period.

The TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels on various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

The cost to maintain and operate a vessel increases with the age of the vessel. Older vessels are less fuel efficient, cost more to insure and require upgrades from time to time to comply with new regulations. The average age of Navios Acquisition’s owned fleet currently in the water, is 5.2 years. But as such fleet ages or if Navios Acquisition expands its fleet by acquiring previously owned and older vessels the cost per vessel would be expected to rise and, assuming all else, including rates, remains constant, vessel profitability would be expected to decrease.

Navios Acquisition reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues. Navios Acquisition does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results for each type of charter. As a result, management reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus Navios Acquisition has determined that it operates under one reportable segment.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2012, Navios Acquisition had 1,472 available days. There were 1,054 available days in the comparative period of 2011.

Revenue: Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 increased by $6.7 million or 21.5% to $37.8 million, as compared to $31.1 million for the same period in 2011. The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisition the Bull and the Buddy in July 2011, the Nave Andromeda in November 2011, Nave Estella in January 2012, the Nave Atria and Nave Cassiopeia in July and August 2012 respectively. As a result of the vessel acquisitions, available days of the fleet increased to 1,472 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, as compared to 1,054 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2011. Time charter equivalent (“TCE”) decreased to $25,185 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, from $29,518 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011.

Time charter expenses: Time charter expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 were $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively. These expenses primarily related to broker fees and various voyage expenses. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased number of operating vessels and available days.

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprised of the amortization of drydock and special survey costs of three VLCC vessels that were completed in August 2011, October 2011 and April 2012, respectively, and two LR1 product tankers that were completed in May 2012 and June 2012, respectively, amounting to $0.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. Direct vessel expenses for the comparative period in 2011, were $0.3 million and were related to drydock and special survey costs of one VLCC vessel that was completed in August 2011.

Management fees: Management fees for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 increased by $2.0 million to $11.8 million from $9.8 million for the same period of 2011. The increase was attributable to the increased number of operating vessels and available days. Pursuant to a management agreement dated May 28, 2010 (the “Management Agreement”), Navios Tankers Management Inc. (the “Manager”), a subsidiary of Navios Holdings, provides for five years from the closing of the vessels’ acquisition, commercial and technical management services to Navios Acquisition’s vessels for a daily fee of $6,000 per owned MR2 product tanker and chemical tanker vessel, $7,000 per owned LR1 product tanker vessel and $10,000, per owned VLCC vessel for the first two years. On May 4, 2012, Navios Acquisition amended its existing Management Agreement with the Manager, to fix the fees for ship management services of its owned fleet at current rates for two additional years, through May 28, 2014. This daily fee covers all of the vessels’ operating expenses, other than certain extraordinary fees and costs. During the remaining term of the Management Agreement, Navios Acquisition will reimburse the Manager for all of the actual operating costs and expenses it incurs in connection with the management of its fleet. Actual operating costs and expenses will be determined in a manner consistent with how the initial fixed fees were determined. Drydocking expenses are fixed for the first four years under these agreements for up to $0.3 million per LR1 and MR2 product tanker vessel and will be reimbursed at cost for VLCC vessels.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses were $1.2 million during both the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Administrative services charged by the Manager increased by $0.1 million, due to the increase in the number of operating vessels and the increase was offset by the $0.1 million decrease in legal, audit and other professional services. On May 28, 2010, we entered into an administrative services agreement, expiring May 28, 2015, pursuant to which a subsidiary of Navios Holdings provides certain administrative management services to us which include: bookkeeping, audit and accounting services, legal and insurance services, administrative and clerical services, banking and financial services, advisory services, client and investor relations and other services. The Manager is reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of these services. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Manager had charged us $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for administrative services.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $12.4 million compared to $10.8 million for the same period in 2011. Of the $12.4 million, $10.4 million was related to

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital requirements, drydocking expenditures, and deposits for vessels under construction, minimum cash balance maintenance as per our credit facility agreements and debt repayment, while our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to expansion and investment capital expenditures and other maintenance capital expenditures and debt repayment.

Expansion capital expenditures are primarily for the purchase or construction of vessels to the extent the expenditures increase the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet, while maintenance capital expenditures primarily consist of drydocking expenditures and expenditures to replace vessels in order to maintain the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet. Investment capital expenditures are those capital expenditures that are neither maintenance capital expenditures nor expansion capital expenditures.

We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations and bank borrowings which we believe that will be sufficient to meet our existing short-term liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. Generally, our long-term sources of funds will be from cash from operations, long term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings.

We expect that we will rely upon external financing sources, including bank borrowings, to fund acquisitions and expansion and investment capital expenditures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the size of our credit facilities or obtaining additional funds on favorable terms.

Navios Acquisition finances its capital requirements with cash flows from operations, equity contributions from stockholders, issuance of preferred shares, bank loans and the issuance of the Existing Notes and Additional Notes. Main uses of funds have been capital expenditures for the acquisition of new vessels, expenditures incurred in connection with ensuring that the owned vessels comply with international and regulatory standards, repayments of bank loans and payments of dividends.

Our contracts for the construction of our vessels are cancellable in various cases among which are, the shipbuilders’ inability to meet its obligations for delivery of the vessel until a set deadline and in accordance with its specifications, our inability to finance the purchase of the vessel, bankruptcy or other financial or liquidity problems of the shipbuilder and our inability to obtain requisite permits or approvals.

As of September 30, 2012, the remaining contractual installments for our tanker vessels to be delivered on various dates through October 2014, were $ 131.1 million of which $69.8 million will be financed through committed debt financing, $9.0 million through the issuance of Series D Preferred Stock and $52.3 million through cash on hand.

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $34.8 million to $73.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $39.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. In determining net cash provided by operating activities, net loss is adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization.

Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30 2012 was $4.1 million as compared to $6.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. The cumulative effect of the adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operating activities was a $40.5 million increase for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 which consisted of $36.4 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.2 million for the amortization of finance costs, and $1.9 million for the amortization of drydock and special survey costs.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $0.3 million to $0.8 million as of September 30, 2012 from $0.5 million as of December 31, 2011.

Accounts receivable decreased by $1.7 million from $6.5 million at December 31, 2011 to $4.8 million at September 30, 2012 due to a decrease in amounts due from charterers.

Restricted cash related to the interest expense decreased by $0.3 million to $0.4 million as of September 30, 2012 from $0.7 million as of December 31, 2011.

Accounts payable decreased by $0.5 million to $0.5 million at September 30, 2012 from $1.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease resulted from a $0.2 million decrease in brokers payable and a $0.3 million decrease in professional and legal fees payable.

Drydock payments incurred in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 were $3.1 million and related to the drydock and special survey costs incurred for one of the VLCC tanker vessel and two LR1 product tanker vessels.

Accrued expenses increased by $7.6 million from $15.5 million as of December 31, 2011 to $23.1 million as of September 30, 2012. The primary reasons for the increase were: (a) an $11.0 million increase in accrued loan interest and bond coupon expenses; and (b) a $1.1 million increase in other accrued expenses. The $12.1 million increase was partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease in accrued legal and professional fees.

Amounts due to related parties increased by $36.3 million from $43.6 million at December 31, 2011 to $79.9 million at September 30, 2012, as a result of a: (a) $30.0 million increase in management fees, accrued administrative expenses and other payables due to affiliated companies; (b) $4.0 million non-cash increase in pre-building costs; and (c) $2.3 million increase in expenses incurred by the Manager in relation to drydock and special survey costs of one VLCC vessel and two LR1 product tanker vessels. Please refer to relevant discussion below, under “Related Parties Transactions”.

Other long term assets decreased by $0.4 million to $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Deferred voyage revenue primarily related to cash received from charterers prior to being earned. These amounts are recognized as revenue over the voyage or charter period. Deferred voyage revenue decreased by $0.8 million from $3.3 million at December 31, 2011 to $2.5 million at September 30, 2012.

Other long term liabilities decreased by $0.2 million from $0.5 million at December 31, 2011 to $0.3 million at September 30, 2012. Other long term liabilities are related to the straight line effect of revenue of the vessels acquired in July 2011.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2011.

Net cash used in investing activities was $180.2 million at September 30, 2012 as compared to $164.7 million outflow for the comparative period in 2011.

EBITDA represents loss plus interest expenses and finance cost plus depreciation and amortization and income taxes.

EBITDA is presented because Navios Acquisition believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and present useful information to investors regarding Navios Acquisition’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and pay dividends. EBITDA is a “non-GAAP financial measure” and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

EBITDA for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, increased by $3.8 million to $24.0 million, as compared to $20.2 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in EBITDA was due to a $6.7 million increase in revenue due to the acquisitions of the Bull and the Buddy, in July 2011, the Nave Andromeda in November 2011, the Nave Estella in January 2012, the Nave Atria in July 2012 and the Nave Cassiopeia in August 2012. The above increase was partially offset by a: (a) $2.0 million increase in management fees; (b) $0.3 million increase in other expense, net and (c) $0.6 million increase in time charter expenses.

EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, increased by $19.5 million to $70.4 million, as compared to $50.9 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in EBITDA was due to a: (a) $27.1 million increase in revenue due to the acquisition of the Shinyo Kieran in June 2011, the Bull and the Buddy in July 2011, the Nave Andromeda in November 2011, the Nave Estella in January 2012, the Nave Atria in July 2012 and the Nave Cassiopeia in August 2012; (b) $0.9 million decrease in write-off of deferred finance costs; (c) $0.3 million decrease in general and administrative expenses; and (d) $0.5 increase in other income, net. The above $28.8 million increase was partially offset by a: (i) $8.5 million increase in management fees; and (ii) $0.8 million increase in time charter expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2011, represents EBITDA plus the write-off of the deferred finance costs that was incurred in connection with the cancellation of committed credit.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating Navios Acquisition’s performance and liquidity position because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the accounting effect of other items.

Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements

8 5/8% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes

On October 21, 2010, Navios Acquisition and Navios Acquisition Finance completed the sale of the $400.0 million of Existing Notes. On May 26, 2011, Navios Acquisition and Navios Acquisition Finance completed the sale of the $105.0 million of Additional Notes. The Existing Notes and the Additional Notes are secured by first priority ship mortgages on seven VLCC vessels owned by certain subsidiary guarantors.

The Existing Notes and the Additional Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all of the Company’s subsidiaries with the exception of Navios Acquisition Finance. The subsidiary guarantees are full and unconditional, as that term is defined by Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, except for the fact that the indenture provides for an individual subsidiary’s guarantee to be automatically released in certain customary circumstances, such as when a subsidiary is sold or all assets are sold, the capital stock is sold, when the subsidiary is designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary” for purposes of the bond indenture upon liquidation or dissolution or upon legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Existing Notes and the Additional Notes.

Navios Acquisition does not have any subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the 8 5/8% Notes. In addition, the disclosures required by Rules 3-10(i)(9) and (10) are not applicable because there are no significant restrictions on (i) the ability of the parent company, any issuer (or co-issuer) or any guarantor subsidiaries of the 8 5/8% Notes to obtain funds by dividend or loan from any of their subsidiaries or (ii) the ability of any subsidiaries to transfer funds to the issuer (or co-issuer) or any guarantor subsidiaries.

The Existing Notes and the Additional Notes contain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, issuance of certain preferred stock, the payment of dividends, redemption or repurchase of capital stock or making restricted payments and investments, creation of certain liens, transfer or sale of assets, entering into certain transactions with affiliates, merging or consolidating or selling all or substantially all of Company’s properties and assets and creation or designation of restricted subsidiaries.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We engage in worldwide commerce with a variety of entities. Although our operations may expose us to certain levels of foreign currency risk, our transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollar are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized in the statement of income.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2012, Navios Acquisition had a total of $981.8 million in long-term indebtedness. Borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at rates based on a premium over U.S. $ LIBOR except for the interest rate on the Notes and the Additional Notes which is fixed. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk that our interest expense may increase if interest rates rise. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 3.20% excluding the Existing Notes and Additional Notes. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 by $4.8 million.

Table of Contents

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable. We closely monitor our exposure to customers for credit risk. We have policies in place to ensure that we trade with customers with an appropriate credit history. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, DOSCO and STX Panocean accounted for 44.4% and 11.1%, respectively, of Navios Acquisition’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the most significant counterparties were DOSCO, Blue Light Chartering Inc. and Jacob Tank Chartering GMBH & Co. which counterparties accounted for approximately 43.9%, 11.5% and 11.3%, respectively, of our total revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalent

Cash deposits and cash equivalents in excess of amounts covered by government-provided insurance are exposed to loss in the event of non-performance by financial institutions. Navios Acquisition does maintain cash deposits and equivalents in excess of government-provided insurance limits. Navios Acquisition also minimizes exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Inflation

Inflation has had a minimal impact on vessel operating expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our management does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to direct expenses in the current and foreseeable economic environment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Disclosures

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended standards requiring additional fair value disclosures. The amended standards require disclosures of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as well as requiring gross basis disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the Level 3 reconciliation. Additionally, the update clarifies the requirement to determine the level of disaggregation for fair value measurement disclosures and to disclose valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements in either Level 2 or Level 3. Navios Acquisition adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and settlements, which was effective for Navios Acquisition beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption of the new standards did not have a significant impact on Navios Acquisition’s consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies,

Navios Acquisition’s interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Navios Acquisition to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management.

The Company’s most critical accounting policies and estimates are those that involve subjective decisions or assessments and are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no material changes to these critical accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

NAVIOS MARITIME ACQUISITION CORPORATION

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share data)

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NNA) owns a large fleet of modern crude oil, refined petroleum product and chemical tankers providing world-wide marine transportation services. The Company’s strategy is to charter its vessels to international oil companies, refiners and large vessel operators under long, medium and short-term charters. The Company is committed to providing quality transportation services and developing and maintaining long-term relationships with its customers. The operations of Navios Acquisition are managed by the Navios Tankers Management Inc. (the “Manager”) a subsidiary of Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) from its head offices in Piraeus, Greece.

Navios Acquisition was incorporated in the Republic of Marshall Islands on March 14, 2008. On July 1, 2008, Navios Acquisition completed its initial public offering, or its IPO. On May 28, 2010, Navios Acquisition consummated the vessel acquisition which constituted its initial business combination. Following such transaction, Navios Acquisition commenced its operations as an operating company and was controlled by Navios Holdings.

On March 30, 2011, Navios Holdings exchanged 7,676,000 shares of Navios Acquisition’s common stock it held for 1,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of Navios Acquisition pursuant to an Exchange Agreement entered into on March 30, 2011, between Navios Acquisition and Navios Holdings. Following this exchange, Navios Holdings has 45% of the voting power and 53.7% of the economic interest in Navios Acquisition.

On November 4, 2011, a total of 1,160,963 shares of common stock were released to the sellers of the “VLCC Acquisition” and the remaining 217,159 were returned to Navios Acquisition in settlement of claims relating to representations and warranties attributable to the sellers. The returned shares were cancelled on December 30, 2011.

As of September 30, 2012, Navios Acquisition had outstanding: 40,517,413 shares of common stock, 4,840 shares of preferred stock, 6,037,994 public warrants included in the number of shares and warrants are 12,752 units (one unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant).

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments for a fair statement of Navios Acquisition’s condensed consolidated financial position, statements of income and cash flows for the periods presented. Adjustments consist of normal, recurring entries. The year end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosure required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Acquisition’s 2011 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

(b) Principles of consolidation: The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navios Acquisition, a Marshall Islands corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated statements.

The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities as defined in the accounting guidance, if it determines that it is the primary beneficiary. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

(c) Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights and/or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries if deemed to be a business combination. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.

(d) Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, management evaluates the estimates and judgments, including those related to uncompleted voyages, future drydock dates, the selection of useful lives for tangible assets, expected future cash flows from long-lived assets to support impairment tests, provisions necessary for accounts receivables, provisions for legal disputes and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions.

(e) Preferred shares Series D: On August 31, 2012, Navios Acquisition issued 300 shares of its authorized Series D Preferred Stock (nominal and fair value $3,000) to a shipyard, in partial settlement of the purchase price of the newbuild LR1 product tanker, Nave Cassiopeia. The preferred stock contains a 6% per annum dividend payable quarterly, starting one year after delivery of the vessel. The Series D Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert into shares of common stock on February 28, 2015 at a price per share of common stock equal to $10.00. The holder of the preferred stock shall have the right to convert the shares of preferred stock into common stock prior to the scheduled maturity dates at a price of $7.00 per share of common stock. The preferred stock does not have any voting rights. Navios Acquisition is obligated to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock (or converted common shares) at holder’s option exercisable beginning on February 28, 2014 for a total of $3,000 payable at 12 equal quarterly installments.

The fair value on August 31, 2012, was determined using a combination of Black Scholes model and discounted projected cash flows for the conversion option and put, respectively. The model used takes into account the credit spread of Navios Acquisition, the volatility of its stock, as well as the price of its stock at the issuance date. The convertible preferred stock is classified as temporary equity (i.e., apart from permanent equity) as a result of the redemption feature upon exercise of the put option granted to the holder of the preferred stock.

(e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

Fair Value Disclosures

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards requiring additional fair value disclosures. The amended standards require disclosures of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as well as requiring gross basis disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the Level 3 reconciliation. Additionally, the update clarifies the requirement to determine the level of disaggregation for fair value measurement disclosures and to disclose valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements in either Level 2 or Level 3. Navios Acquisition adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and settlements, which was effective for Navios Acquisition beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption of the new standards did not have a significant impact on Navios Acquisition’ consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and written down with a charge to operations if its carrying amount exceeds the estimated implied fair value.

Navios Acquisition evaluates impairment of goodwill using a two-step process. First, the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Navios Acquisition determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on discounted cash flow analysis and believes that the discounted cash flow analysis is the best indicator of fair value for its reporting unit.

The fair value for goodwill impairment testing was estimated using the expected present value of future cash flows, using judgments and assumptions that management believes were appropriate in the circumstances. The significant factors and assumptions Navios Acquisition used in its discounted cash flow analysis included: EBITDA, the discount rate used to calculate the present value of future cash flows and future capital expenditures. EBITDA assumptions included revenue assumptions, general and administrative expense growth assumptions, and direct vessel expense growth assumptions. The future cash flows were determined by considering the charter revenues from existing time charters for the fixed fleet days (Navios Acquisition remaining charter agreement rates) and an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the non-fixed days (based on a combination of current rates for two year agreements and the 10-year average historical charter rates available for each type of vessel), which Navios Acquisition believes is an objective approach for forecasting charter rates over an extended time horizon for long lived assets. These assumptions could be adversely impacted by the current uncertainty surrounding global market conditions, as well as the competitive environment in which Navios Acquisition operates. Even though Navios Acquisition performed several stress tests to the discounted cash flow analysis, including after assuming that charter rates would not recover to the 10-year average historical charter rates for a prolonged period of time, the discounted cash flow analyses would still result in the fair values exceeding the carrying amounts of the reporting unit.

If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then the Company must perform the second step to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and compare it with its carrying amount. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all the assets and liabilities of that reporting unit, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, then goodwill impairment is recognized by writing the goodwill down to its implied fair value.

Navios Acquisition has one reporting unit. No impairment loss was recognized for any of the periods presented.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On August 31, 2012, Navios Acquisition issued 300 shares of its authorized Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (nominal and fair value $3,000) (“Series D Preferred Stock”) to a shipyard, in partial settlement of the newbuild LR1 product tanker, the Nave Cassiopeia. The Series D Preferred Stock contains a 6% per annum dividend payable quarterly, starting one year after delivery of the vessel. The Series D Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert into shares of common stock on February 28, 2015 at a price per share of common stock equal to $10.00. The holder of the Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert the shares of Series D Preferred Stock into common stock prior to the scheduled maturity dates at a price of $7.00 per share of common stock. The Series D Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights. Navios Acquisition is obligated to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock (or converted common shares) at holder’s option exercisable beginning on February 28, 2014 for a total of $3,000 payable at 12 equal quarterly installments.

The fair value on August 31, 2012, was determined using a combination of Black Scholes model and discounted projected cash flows for the conversion option and put, respectively. The model used takes into account the credit spread of Navios Acquisition, the volatility of its stock, as well as the price of its stock at the issuance date. The convertible preferred stock is classified as temporary equity (i.e., apart from permanent equity) as a result of the redemption feature upon exercise of the put option granted to the holder of the preferred stock.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2012 the Company issued 300 preferred shares Series D and there were no redemptions.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 4,840 and 4,540 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding, respectively.

Common Stock

As of September 30, 2012, the Company was authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock.

Pursuant to an Exchange Agreement entered into on March 30, 2011, Navios Holdings exchanged 7,676,000 shares of Navios Acquisition’s common stock it held for 1,000 non-voting shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of Navios Acquisition.

NOTE 14: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Navios Acquisition reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues. Navios Acquisition does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results for each type of charter. As a result, management reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus Navios Acquisition has determined that it operates under one reportable segment.

The following table sets out operating revenue by geographic region for Navios Acquisition’s reportable segment. Revenue is allocated on the basis of the geographic region in which the customer is located. Tanker vessels operate worldwide. Revenues from specific geographic region which contribute over 10% of total revenue are disclosed separately.

Revenue by Geographic Region

Vessels operate on a worldwide basis and are not restricted to specific locations. Accordingly, it is not possible to allocate the assets of these operations to specific countries.

NOTE 16: INCOME TAXES

Marshall Islands, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong, do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of Marshall Islands, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong, the countries of the companies’ incorporation and vessels’ registration, the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in vessel management fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Pursuant to Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States (the “Code”), U.S. source income from the international operation of ships is generally exempt from U.S. income tax if the company operating the ships meets certain incorporation and ownership requirements. Among other things, in order to qualify for this exemption, the company operating the ships must be incorporated in a country, which grants an equivalent exemption from income taxes to U.S. corporations. All the Company’s ship-operating subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria. In addition, these companies must be more than 50% owned by individuals who are residents, as defined, in the countries of incorporation or another foreign country that grants an equivalent exemption to U.S. corporations. Subject to proposed regulations becoming finalized in their current form, the management of the Company believes by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company like the Company, the second criterion can also be satisfied based on the trading volume and ownership of the Company’s shares, but no assurance can be given that this will remain so in the future. Due to the exemption under Section 883 of the Code, Delaware would not impose a tax on the Company or its subsidiaries’ international shipping income.
