Charter Policy and Industry Outlook
Our core fleet, as of May 13, 2015, consists of 39 vessels, of which eight are VLCCs, 27 are product tankers and four are chemical tankers. All the vessels are currently chartered-out to high-quality counterparties, including affiliates of Shell, Sinochem Group and SK Shipping with an average remaining charter period of approximately one year. Many of our charters have profit sharing

Table of Contents
arrangements (see fleet table above). We intend to deploy the open vessels that have yet to be chartered out to leading charterers in a mix of long, medium and short-term time charters, depending on the vessels’ positions, seasonality and market outlook. 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 selectively 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 acquire young, high-quality, modern, double-hulled vessels in the product, crude oil 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 charter rates for crude, product and chemical tankers that have fallen from their highs of 2008.
Factors Affecting Navios Acquisition’s Results of Operations
We believe the principal factors that will affect our future results of operations are the general economic, regulatory, political and governmental conditions that affect the shipping industry and those that specifically 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 oil majors and major commodity traders; and |
• | the strength of and growth in the number of our customer relationships, especially with oil majors and major commodity traders. |
In addition to the factors discussed above, we believe certain specific factors will impact our condensed 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. |
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

Table of Contents
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.
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 4.6 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.
Set forth below are selected historical and statistical data for Navios Acquisition for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 that the Company believes may be useful in better understanding the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

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 represent total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Acquisition’s possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings 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 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 and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs, drydockings and special surveys. |
(4) | Time Charter Equivalent Rate: Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) Rate is 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 of various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet. |

Revenue: Revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 increased by $17.6 million or 28.9% to $78.6 million, as compared to $61.0 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was attributable to the acquisition of 11 vessels since January 2014, and was partially mitigated by $18.4 million due to the sale of five VLCCs in 2014. As a result of the vessel acquisitions, available days of the fleet increased to 3,438 days for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to 3,079 days for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. Time Charter Equivalent increased to $22,521 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, from $19,544 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 increased by $0.4 million to $1.2 million, as compared to $0.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase was due to a (a) $0.3 million increase in broker commissions; and (b) $0.1 million increase in miscellaneous voyage expenses.
Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprised of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs, of certain vessels of our fleet amounted to $0.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $0.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
Management fees: Management fees for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 increased by $1.7 million to $24.0 million, as compared to $22.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase was attributable to the increase in the number of vessels operating under Navios Acquisition’s fleet and was partially mitigated by $4.5 million due to the sale of five VLCCs in 2014.
General and administrative expenses: Total general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $0.4 million or 11.7% to $3.2 million compared to $3.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was mainly attributable to a $0.8 million decrease due to stock based compensation recognized in connection with the issuance of 2,100,000 restricted shares and options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock, partially mitigated by a: (i) $0.2 million increase in administrative expenses paid to Navios Holdings due to the increased number of vessels in Navios Acquisition’s fleet; and (ii) $0.1 million increase in other general and administrative expenses, including professional, other fees and travelling expenses.
For the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the expenses charged by Navios Holdings for administrative services were $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization decreased by $1.7 million to $14.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $16.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. The decrease of $1.7 million was attributable to a net decrease in depreciation expense of $0.8 million due to the acquisitions of the vessels described above partially mitigated due to the sale of the Shinyo Splendor in May 2014 and the sale of the four VLCCs to Navios Midstream in November 2014. The amortization expense decreased by $0.9 million due to: (a) a decrease in amortization of favorable lease terms of $0.8 million, due to the sale of the time charter-out contracts attached to four VLCCs sold to Navios Midstream; and (b) a decrease of $0.1 million in amortization of favorable lease terms due to the expiration of the time charter-out contract of the Shinyo Splendor in April 2014. Depreciation of a vessel is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years for the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard. Intangible assets are amortized over the contract periods, which range from 6.28 to 8.52 years.
Impairment loss: No impairment loss was recognized for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2014, an impairment loss of $10.7 million related to the Shinyo Splendor has been recognized under the line item “Impairment Loss.” The Company had a current expectation that, more likely than not, the Shinyo Splendor would be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, and as a result performed an impairment test of the specific asset group. The carrying amount of the asset group was more than its undiscounted future cash flows which resulted in an impairment loss. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, management reassessed the recoverable amount of a receivable and recognized an impairment loss of $1.0 million.
Interest income: Interest income for three month period ended March 31, 2015 increased by $0.2 million to $0.3 million compared to $0.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
Interest expense and finance cost: Interest expense and finance cost for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 increased by $1.1 million to $18.2 million, as compared to $17.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. The increase was due to the increase in average outstanding loan balance to $592.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 from $564.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and the weighted average interest rate the three month period ended March 31, 2015 of 5.88% from 5.64%, during the three month period ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, the outstanding loan balance under Navios Acquisition’s credit facilities was $1,159.2 million and $1,257.5 million, respectively.
Change in fair value of other assets: As of March 31, 2014, management revalued its derivative asset at $2.3 million using publicly available trading data and recognized a fair value loss of $1.2 million in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/ (loss).
Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies: Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies increased by $3.4 million to $3.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, as compared to $0 for the same period in 2014. The increase resulted from the equity in earnings of Navios Midstream which amounted to $3.3 million following the completion of Navios Midstream’s initial public offering in November 2014 and the remaining increase resulted from the equity in earnings of Navios Europe Inc. (“Navios Europe”). For the three month period ended March 31, 2014, Navios Europe had minimal operations and therefore, the Company did not record any equity method investee income/ (loss).
Other (expense)/ income, net: Other expense, net for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 was $0.4 million. For the comparative period of 2014 other income, net was $0.1 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital requirements, drydocking expenditures, 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, other maintenance capital expenditures and debt repayment. 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 obtain additional funds on favorable terms.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2014:
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $5.2 million to $34.1 million for the period ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $28.9 million for the same period in 2014. The increase is analyzed as follows:
The net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 was $20.0 million compared to a $12.8 million net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2014. In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, the net income was adjusted for the effect of depreciation and amortization of $14.9 million, $0.7 million for amortization deferred finance fees and a bond premium, $0.3 million for the amortization of drydock and special survey costs, $0.7 million stock based compensation and $3.4 million for equity in affiliates, net of dividend received.
Amounts due to related parties decreased by $22.8 million from $28.1 million at December 31, 2014 to $5.3 million at March 31, 2015. The decrease of $22.8 million primarily resulted from a $13.3 million decrease of payables relating to management fees and other expenses, and $9.5 million decrease in payables related to capitalized expenses.
Amounts due from related parties increased by $0.4 million to $1.8 million at March 31, 2015 from $1.4 million at December 31, 2014. Please refer to the relevant discussion below, under “Related Parties Transactions”.
No payment for drydock and special survey costs has been made in the three month period ended March 31, 2015. Payment for drydock and special survey costs incurred in the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was $0.6 million and related to the drydock and special survey costs of certain vessels of the fleet.
Accounts receivable increased by $7.3 million from $18.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, to $25.5 million for the three month period March 31, 2015. The increase was attributed to the increase in receivables due from charterers.
Accounts payable was $2.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 and $1.6 million for the year ended year ended December 31, 2014. The increase of $0.4 million was due to $0.2 million increase in port agents and $0.3 million increase in other payables, partially mitigated by $0.1 million decrease in legal and professional fees.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $3.3 million to $5.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 from $8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The total decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets amounted to $3.3 million that resulted primarily from: (a) $1.3 million decrease in working capital advances required under certain charter contracts; and $1.2 million representing amounts reclassified to caption “Other long-term assets”, as in accordance with the terms of the charter contracts these are expected to be redelivered to the Company within the next twelve months from March 31, 2015; and (b) $1.0 million due to decrease in inventory. The decrease of $3.5 million was partially mitigated by $0.2 million increase in other prepaid expenses.
Other long-term assets increased by approximately $0.8 million to $1.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 from $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, due to $1.2 million representing advances to certain counterparties for working capital purposes reclassified from caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”, partially mitigated by $0.5 million decrease in working capital advances required under certain charter contracts.

Accrued expenses increased by $14.9 million to $25.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, from $10.3 million on December 31, 2014. The increase was attributable to a $13.6 million increase in accrued interest and a $1.2 million increase in accrued voyage expenses.
Deferred voyage revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as revenue over the voyage or charter period. Deferred voyage revenue increased by $4.1 million to $5.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 from $1.4 million on December 31, 2014.

(1) | Adjusted EBITDA for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 represented net income plus interest expense and finance cost plus depreciation and amortization and finance income, before stock-based compensation of $0.7 million. |
For the three month period ended March 31, 2014, Adjusted EBITDA represented loss plus interest expense and finance cost plus depreciation and amortization and finance income, before stock-based compensation of $1.4 million, impairment loss of $11.7 million and $1.2 million in connection with the change in fair value of other assets.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented because Navios Acquisition believes that Adjusted EBITDA is the basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and presents 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. Adjusted EBITDA is “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 Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Acquisition results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Acquisition performance. Furthermore, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 increased by $18.0 million to $53.9 million from $35.9 million in the same period of 2014. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to: (i) a $17.6 million increase in revenue due to the acquisitions of the vessels described above; and (ii) a $3.4 million increase in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies. This increase was partially mitigated by a (a) $1.7 million increase in management fees; (b) $0.4 million increase in time charter expenses; (c) $0.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses; and (d) $0.6 million increase in other (expense)/ income, net.

Conversely, if market charter rates are higher during the backstop period, such vessels will be chartered out to third-party charterers at prevailing market rates and Navios Acquisition’s backstop commitment will not be triggered. The backstop commitment does not include any profit-sharing. |
Related Party Transactions
The Navios Holdings Credit Facility: In September 2010, Navios Acquisition entered into a $40.0 million credit facility with Navios Holdings. The $40.0 million facility has a margin of LIBOR plus 300 bps and a pursuant to an amendment dated November 8, 2011, the maturity of the facility was extended to December 2014. Pursuant to an amendment in October 2010, the facility will be available for multiple drawings up to a limit of $40.0 million. In December 2014 the facility was renewed for one year.
Management fees: Pursuant to a Management Agreement dated May 28, 2010, a subsidiary of Navios Holdings (the “Manager”), provides 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 and $7,000 per owned LR1 product tanker vessel and $10,000 per VLCC tanker vessel for the first two years. On May 4, 2012, Navios Acquisition amended the 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 fees and costs. During the remaining term of the Management Agreement, Navios Acquisition expects it will reimburse Navios Holdings 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 were fixed through May 2014 for up to $0.3 million per LR1 and MR2 product tanker vessel and were reimbursed at cost for VLCC vessels.
In May 2014, Navios Acquisition extended the duration of its existing Management Agreement with Navios Holdings until May 2020 and fixed the fees for ship management services of its owned fleet for two additional years through May 2016 at current rates for product tanker and chemical tanker vessels, being $6,000 daily rate per MR2 product tanker and chemical tanker vessel and $7,000 daily rate per LR1 product tanker vessel and reduced the rate by 5% to $9,500 daily rate per VLCC vessel. Drydocking expenses under this Management Agreement will be reimbursed at cost of occurrence for all vessels.
Effective March 30, 2012, Navios Acquisition can, upon request to Navios Holdings, partially or fully defer the reimbursement of drydocking and other extraordinary fees and expenses under the Management Agreement to a later date, but not later than January 5, 2016, and if reimbursed on a later date, such amounts will bear interest at a rate of 1% per annum over LIBOR. Effective as of September 28, 2012, Navios Acquisition can, upon request, reimburse Navios Holdings partially or fully, for any fixed management fees outstanding for a period of not more than nine months under the Management Agreement at a later date, but not later than January 5, 2016, and if reimbursed on a later date, such amounts will bear interest at a rate of 1% per annum over LIBOR.
Total management fees for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $24.0 million and $22.3 million, respectively.
General and administrative expenses: On May 28, 2010, Navios Acquisition entered into an administrative services agreement with Navios Holdings, initially set to expire in May 2015 that was later extended until May 2020, pursuant to which Navios Holdings provides certain administrative management services to Navios Acquisition, 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. Navios Holdings is reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of these services.
For each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the administrative services rendered by Navios Holdings amounted to $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Balance due to related parties: Amounts due to related parties as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $5.3 million and $28.1 million, respectively, of which the current account payable to Navios Holdings and its subsidiaries was $5.3 million and $18.5 million, respectively, and the long-term payable was $0 and $9.6 million, respectively. The balance mainly consisted of management fees, administrative fees, drydocking costs and other expenses.

Omnibus Agreements
Acquisition Omnibus Agreement: Navios Acquisition entered into an omnibus agreement (the “Acquisition Omnibus Agreement”) with Navios Holdings and Navios Partners in connection with the closing of Navios Acquisition’s initial vessel acquisition, pursuant to which, among other things, Navios Holdings and Navios Partners agreed not to acquire, charter-in or own liquid shipment vessels, except for container vessels and vessels that are primarily employed in operations in South America without the consent of an independent committee of Navios Acquisition. In addition, Navios Acquisition, under the Acquisition Omnibus Agreement, agreed to cause its subsidiaries not to acquire, own, operate or charter-in drybulk carriers under specific exceptions. Under the Acquisition Omnibus Agreement, Navios Acquisition and its subsidiaries grant to Navios Holdings and Navios Partners, a right of first offer on any proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any of its drybulk carriers and related charters owned or acquired by Navios Acquisition. Likewise, Navios Holdings and Navios Partners agreed to grant a similar right of first offer to Navios Acquisition for any liquid shipment vessels they might own. These rights of first offer will not apply to a: (a) sale, transfer or other disposition of vessels between any affiliated subsidiaries, or pursuant to the existing terms of any charter or other agreement with a counterparty; or (b) merger with or into, or sale of substantially all of the assets to, an unaffiliated third party.
Midstream Omnibus Agreement: Navios Acquisition entered into an omnibus agreement (the “Midstream Omnibus Agreement”), with Navios Midstream, Navios Holdings and Navios Partners in connection with the Navios Midstream IPO, pursuant to which Navios Acquisition, Navios Midstream, Navios Holdings, Navios Partners and their controlled affiliates generally have agreed not to acquire or own any VLCCs, crude oil tankers, refined petroleum product tankers, LPG tankers or chemical tankers under time charters of five or more years without the consent of the Navios Maritime Midstream Partners GP LLC (“Navios Midstream General Partner”). The Midstream Omnibus Agreement contains significant exceptions that will allow Navios Acquisition, Navios Holdings, Navios Partners or any of their controlled affiliates to compete with Navios Midstream under specified circumstances.
Under the Midstream Omnibus Agreement, Navios Midstream and its subsidiaries will grant to Navios Acquisition a right of first offer on any proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any of its VLCCs or any crude oil tankers, refined petroleum product tankers, LPG tankers or chemical tankers and related charters owned or acquired by Navios Midstream. Likewise, Navios Acquisition will agree (and will cause its subsidiaries to agree) to grant a similar right of first offer to Navios Midstream for any of the VLCCs, crude oil tankers, refined petroleum product tanker, LPG tankers or chemical tankers under charter for five or more years it might own. These rights of first offer will not apply to a (a) sale, transfer or other disposition of vessels between any affiliated subsidiaries, or pursuant to the terms of any charter or other agreement with a charter party or (b) merger with or into, or sale of substantially all of the assets to, an unaffiliated third-party.
Backstop Agreement: On November 18, 2014, Navios Acquisition entered into a backstop agreement with Navios Midstream. In accordance with the terms of the backstop agreement, Navios Acquisition has committed to charter-in the Shinyo Ocean and the Shinyo Kannika for a two-year period at the time of their redelivery at the currently contracted rate if the market charter rate is lower than the currently contracted rate. Furthermore, Navios Maritime Acquisition has committed to charter-in the following option vessels: (a) Nave Celeste for a two-year period at the time of her redelivery at the currently contracted rate if the market charter rate is lower than the currently contracted rate; and (b) Nave Galactic and Nave Quasar for a four-year period at the net time charter-out rate per day (net of commissions) of $35,000 if the market charter rate is lower than the charter-out rate of $35,000. Conversely, if market charter rates are higher during the backstop period, such vessels will be chartered out to third-party charterers at prevailing market rates and Navios Acquisition’s backstop commitment will not be triggered. The backstop commitment does not include any profit-sharing.
Navios Midstream General Partner Option Agreement with Navios Holdings: Navios Acquisition entered into an option agreement, dated November 18, 2014, with Navios Holdings under which Navios Acquisition grants Navios Holdings the option to acquire any or all of the outstanding membership interests in Navios Midstream General Partner and all of the incentive distribution rights in Navios Midstream representing the right to receive an increasing percentage of the quarterly distributions when certain conditions are met. The option shall expire on November 18, 2024. Any such exercise shall relate to not less than twenty-five percent of the option interest and the purchase price for the acquisition for all or part of the option interest shall be an amount equal to its fair market value.

Option Vessels: Navios Acquisition has granted options to Navios Midstream, exercisable until November 2016, to purchase seven VLCCs from Navios Acquisition at fair market value.
Revolving Loans to Navios Europe: Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners will make available to Navios Europe (in each case, in proportion to their ownership interests in Navios Europe) up to $24.1 million to fund working capital requirements under the Navios Revolving Loans. See Note 7 for the Investment in Affiliates and respective ownership interests. The Navios Revolving Loans earn a 12.7% preferred distribution and are repaid from Free Cash Flow (as defined in the loan agreement) to the fullest extent possible at the end of each quarter. As of March 31, 2015, Navios Acquisition’s portion of the outstanding amount relating to its initial investment in Navios Europe was $4.8 million, under the caption “Investment in affiliates”, and the outstanding amount relating to the Navios revolving loans, excluding interest receivable, was $7.1 million, under the caption “Loan receivable from affiliates.” As of March 31, 2015, the amount undrawn from the revolving facility was $9.1 million, of which Navios Acquisition was committed to fund $4.3 million.
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. dollars 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 March 31, 2015, Navios Acquisition had a total of $1,179.0 million in long-term and short-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 Existing 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 three month period ended March 31, 2015, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 5.88%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 by $3.2 million.
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 three month period ended March 31, 2015, Navig8 accounted for 37.0%, of Navios Acquisition’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Navios Acquisition’s customers representing 10% or more of total revenue were Navig8 and DOSCO, which accounted for 28.8% and 22.4% of total revenue, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
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
In April 2015, the FASB issued the ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, in order to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. This update requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. The ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. An entity should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Navios Acquisition early adopted the new standard. (See Note 2 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”).
In February 2015, the FASB issued the ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810)—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which amends the criteria for determining which entities are considered VIEs, amends the criteria for determining if a service provider possesses a variable interest in a VIE and ends the deferral granted to investment companies for application of the VIE consolidation model. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Income Statement Extraordinary and Unusual Items”. This standard eliminates the concept of extraordinary and unusual items from U.S. GAAP. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Navios Acquisition plans to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This standard requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, no accounting guidance existed for management on when and how to assess or disclose going concern uncertainties. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, clarifying the method used to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of income. Under the new standard, an entity must identify the performance obligations in a contract, the transaction price and allocate the price to specific performance obligations to recognize the revenue when the obligation is completed. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2014-09 on its revenue recognition.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment”, changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption had no impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies
Navios Acquisition’s interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Navios Acquisition to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Other than as described below, all significant accounting policies are as described in Note 2 to the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2015.

NAVIOS MARITIME ACQUISITION CORPORATION
UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per 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 worldwide 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 a subsidiary of Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”).
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 acquisitions which constituted its initial business combination. Following such transaction, Navios Acquisition commenced its operations as an operating company.
As of March 31, 2015, Navios Holdings had 43.0% of the voting power and 46.1% of the economic interest in Navios Acquisition.
As of March 31, 2015, Navios Acquisition had outstanding: 151,664,942 shares of common stock, 200,000 shares of Puttable 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 and 750 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of three LR1 product tankers.
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 consolidated financial positions, statement of changes in equity, statements of comprehensive income/ (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Acquisition’s 2014 annual report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Change in Accounting Principle
The Company historically presented deferred debt issuance costs, or fees related to directly issuing debt, as long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company adopted guidance codified in ASU 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The guidance simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected. Therefore, these costs will continue to be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method pursuant to ASC 835-30-35-2 through 35-3. Upon adoption, the Company applied the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company elected to early adopt the requirements of ASU 2015-03 effective beginning the first quarter ending March 31, 2015 and applied this guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the Company’s financial statements.
The reclassification does not impact net income as previously reported or any prior amounts reported on the Statements of Comprehensive Income/ (Loss), or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The effect of the retrospective application of this change in accounting principle on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 resulted in a reduction of Total non-current assets and Total assets in the amount of $22,330, with a corresponding decrease of $20,781 in Long-term debt, net and Total non-current liabilities and a decrease of $1,549 in Current portion of long-term debt net and Total current liabilities.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share data)
(b) Principles of consolidation: The accompanying 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) Equity method investments: Affiliates are entities over which the Company generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Company has significant influence, but it does not exercise control. Investments in these entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company records an investment in the stock of an affiliate at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount for its share of the earnings or losses of the affiliate subsequent to the date of investment and reports the recognized earnings or losses in income. Dividends received from an affiliate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The Company recognizes gains and losses in earnings for the issuance of shares by its affiliates, provided that the issuance of such shares qualifies as a sale of such shares. When the Company’s share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.
Navios Acquisition evaluates its equity method investments, for other than temporary impairment, on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
(d) 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.
As of March 31, 2015, and 2014 the entities included in these consolidated financial statements were:

(5) | Each company had the rights over a shipbuilding contract of an MR2 product tanker vessel. In February 2015, these shipbuilding contracts were terminated, with no exposure to Navios Acquisition, due to the shipyard’s inability to issue a refund guarantee. |
(e) 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 and scrap value, expected future cash flows from long-lived assets to support impairment tests, provisions necessary for accounts receivables, provisions for legal disputes and contingencies and the valuations estimates inherent in the deconsolidation gain. 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.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share data)
(f) Vessels, net: Vessels are stated at historical cost, which consists of the contract price, delivery and acquisition expenses and capitalized interest costs while under construction. Vessels acquired in an asset acquisition or in a business combination are recorded at fair value. Subsequent expenditures for major improvements and upgrading are capitalized, provided they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated residual value. Management estimates the residual values of our tanker vessels based on a scrap value of $360 per lightweight ton, as we believe these levels are common in the shipping industry. Residual values are periodically reviewed and revised to recognize changes in conditions, new regulations or other reasons. Revisions of residual values affect the depreciable amount of the vessels and affects depreciation expense in the period of the revision and future periods.
Management estimates the useful life of our vessels to be 25 years from the vessel’s original construction. However, when regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its useful life is re-estimated to end at the date such regulations become effective.
(g) Impairment of long-lived asset group: Vessels, other fixed assets and other long-lived assets held and used by Navios Acquisition are reviewed periodically for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular asset may not be fully recoverable. Navios Acquisition’s management evaluates the carrying amounts and periods over which long-lived assets are depreciated to determine if events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would require modification to their carrying values or useful lives. In evaluating useful lives and carrying values of long-lived assets, certain indicators of potential impairment are reviewed such as, undiscounted projected operating cash flows, vessel sales and purchases, business plans and overall market conditions.
Undiscounted projected net operating cash flows are determined for each asset group (consisting of the individual vessel and the intangible with respect to the time charter agreement to that vessel) and compared to the vessel carrying value and related carrying value of the intangible with respect to the time charter agreement attached to that vessel or the carrying value of deposits for new buildings. Within the shipping industry, vessels are often bought and sold with a charter attached. The value of the charter may be favorable or unfavorable when comparing the charter rate to then current market rates. The loss recognized either on impairment (or on disposition) will reflect the excess of carrying value over fair value (selling price) for the vessel individual asset group.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a current expectation that, more likely than not, the Shinyo Splendor would be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, and, as a result, performed an impairment test of the specific asset group. The recoverability test was based on undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the entity’s use and eventual disposition of the asset. The significant factors and assumptions used in the undiscounted projected net operating cash flow analysis included determining the net operating cash flows by considering the charter revenues from the existing time charter until its expiration, net of brokerage and address commissions and management fees and an estimate of sale proceeds from its disposal based on market valuations for such vessel. The carrying amount of the asset group was more than its undiscounted future cash flows. As a result, the entity failed the recoverability test (step one) of the impairment test and proceeded with step two of the impairment analysis.
An impairment loss of amount $10,718 was recognized for the period presented as the carrying amount of the asset group was not recoverable and exceeded its fair value as of March 31, 2014. Management believes the underlying assumptions supporting this assessment are reasonable.
The Shinyo Splendor was subsequently sold on May 6, 2014 to an unaffiliated third party for a net sale price of $19,219.
(h) Series D Convertible Preferred Stock: Navios Acquisition issued shares of its authorized Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (nominal and fair value $12,000) to a shipyard, in partial settlement of the purchase price of certain newbuild vessels. The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock includes a 6% per annum dividend payable quarterly, starting one year after delivery of each vessel. The Series D Convertible 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 Series D Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert the shares of the 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 Convertible Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights. Navios Acquisition is obligated to redeem the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (or converted common shares) at their nominal value at the holder’s option. Beginning 18 months after the issuance of the preferred stock, the holder can exercise the option to request the redemption of up to 250 shares of preferred stock (or converted common shares) on a quarterly basis.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share data)
The fair value of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, was determined using a combination of the 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 Series D 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 Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
(i) Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recorded when services are rendered, under a signed charter agreement or other evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is generated from the voyage charter and the time charter of vessels.
Voyage revenues for the transportation of cargo are recognized ratably over the estimated relative transit time of each voyage. A voyage is deemed to commence when a vessel is available for loading and is deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the current cargo. Estimated losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. Under a voyage charter, a vessel is provided for the transportation of specific goods between specific ports in return for payment of an agreed upon freight per ton of cargo.
Revenues from time chartering of vessels are accounted for as operating leases and are thus recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the rental periods of such charter agreements, as service is performed. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterers’ disposal for a period of time during which the charterer uses the vessel in return for the payment of a specified daily hire rate. Under time charters, operating costs such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.
Profit sharing revenues are calculated at an agreed percentage of the excess of the charterer’s average daily income (calculated on a quarterly or half-yearly basis) over an agreed amount and accounted for on an accrual basis based on provisional amounts and for those contracts that provisional accruals cannot be made due to the nature of the profit share elements, these are accounted for on the actual cash settlement.
Revenues are recorded net of address commissions. Address commissions represent a discount provided directly to the charterers based on a fixed percentage of the agreed upon charter or freight rate. Since address commissions represent a discount (sales incentive) on services rendered by the Company and no identifiable benefit is received in exchange for the consideration provided to the charterer, these commissions are presented as a reduction of revenue.
Pooling arrangements: For vessels operating in pooling arrangements, the Company earns a portion of total revenues generated by the pool, net of expenses incurred by the pool. The amount allocated to each pool participant vessel, including the Company’s vessels, is determined in accordance with an agreed-upon formula, which is determined by points awarded to each vessel in the pool based on the vessel’s age, design and other performance characteristics. Revenue under pooling arrangements is accounted for on the accrual basis and is recognized when an agreement with the pool exists, price is fixed, service is provided and the collectability is reasonably assured.
The allocation of such net revenue may be subject to future adjustments by the pool however, such changes are not expected to be material.

In February 2015, the FASB issued the ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810)—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which amends the criteria for determining which entities are considered VIEs, amends the criteria for determining if a service provider possesses a variable interest in a VIE and ends the deferral granted to investment companies for application of the VIE consolidation model. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement Extraordinary and Unusual Items. This standard eliminates the concept of extraordinary and unusual items from U.S. GAAP. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Navios Acquisition plans to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2016. The adoption of the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, no accounting guidance existed for management on when and how to assess or disclose going concern uncertainties. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” clarifying the method used to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of income. Under the new standard, an entity must identify the performance obligations in a contract, the transaction price and allocate the price to specific performance obligations to recognize the revenue when the obligation is completed. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2014-09 on its revenue recognition.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption had no impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

NOTE 7: INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES
Navios Europe
On October 9, 2013, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”) established Navios Europe Inc. (“Navios Europe”) and have ownership interests of 47.5%, 47.5% and 5.0%, respectively. On December 18, 2013, Navios Europe acquired ten vessels for aggregate consideration consisting of (i) cash consideration of $127,753 (which was funded with the proceeds of a $117,753 senior loan facility (the “Senior Loan”), and loans aggregating $10,000 from Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners (in each case, in proportion to their ownership interests in Navios Europe) (collectively, the “Navios Term Loans”) and (ii) the assumption of a junior participating loan facility (the “Junior Loan”) with a face amount of $173,367 and fair value of $71,929 as of December 31, 2013. In addition to the Navios Term Loans, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners will also make available to Navios Europe (in each case, in proportion to their ownership interests in Navios Europe) revolving loans up to $24,100 to fund working capital requirements (collectively, the “Navios Revolving Loans”).
On an ongoing basis, Navios Europe is required to distribute cash flows (after payment of operating expenses, amounts due pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan and repayments of the Navios Revolving Loans) according to a defined waterfall calculation as follows:
• | First, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners will each earn a 12.7% preferred distribution on the Navios Term Loans and the Navios Revolving Loans; and |
• | Second, any remaining cash is then distributed on an 80%/20% basis, respectively, between (i) the Junior Loan holder and (ii) the holders of the Navios Term Loans. |
The Navios Term Loan will be repaid from the future sale of vessels owned by Navios Europe and is deemed to be the initial investment by Navios Acquisition. Navios Acquisition evaluated its investment in Navios Europe under ASC 810 and concluded that Navios Europe is a VIE and that they are not the party most closely associated with Navios Europe and, accordingly, is not the primary beneficiary of Navios Europe based on the following:
• | the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Navios Europe are shared jointly between (i) Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners and (ii) and the Junior Loan holder; and |
• | while Navios Europe’s residual is shared on an 80%/20% basis, respectively, between (i) the Junior Loan holder and (ii) Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners, the Junior Loan holder is exposed to a substantial portion of Navios Europe’s risks and rewards. |

Navios Acquisition further evaluated its investment in the common stock of Navios Europe under ASC 323 and concluded that it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Navios Europe and, therefore, its investment in Navios Europe is accounted for under the equity method.
As of March 31, 2015, the estimated maximum potential loss by Navios Acquisition in Navios Europe would have been $13,834, which represents the Company’s portion of the initial investment of $4,750, equity method investee income of $185, the Company’s portion of the carrying balance of the Navios Revolving Loans and the Navios Term Loans of $7,963 and the accrued interest receivable in the amount of $936 which is included under “Due from related parties”. Refer to Note 12 for the terms of the Navios Revolving Loans.
Navios Midstream
On October 13, 2014, the Company formed in the Marshall Islands a wholly-owned subsidiary, Navios Midstream. The purpose of Navios Midstream is to own, operate and acquire crude oil tankers, refined petroleum product tankers, chemical tankers and liquefied petroleum gas tankers under long-term employment contracts.
On the same day, the Company formed in the Marshall Islands a limited liability company, Navios Maritime Midstream Partners GP LLC (the “Navios Midstream General Partner”) a wholly-owned subsidiary to act as the general partner of Navios Midstream.
Navios Midstream completed an IPO of its units on November 18, 2014 and is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “NAP”.
In connection with the IPO of Navios Midstream in November 2014, Navios Acquisition sold all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of four of Navios Acquisition’s vessel-owning subsidiaries (Shinyo Ocean Limited, Shinyo Kannika Limited, Shinyo Kieran Limited and Shinyo Saowalak Limited) in exchange for: (i) all of the estimated net cash proceeds from the IPO amounting to $110,403; (ii) $104,451 of the $126,000 borrowings under Navios Midstream’s new credit facility; (iii) 9,342,692 subordinated units and 1,242,692 common units; and (iv) 381,334 general partner units, representing a 2.0% general partner interest in Navios Midstream, and all of the incentive distribution rights in Navios Midstream to the Navios Midstream General Partner.
Following the completion of the IPO, the Company owns a 2.0% general partner interest in Navios Midstream through the Navios Midstream General Partner and a 55.5% limited partnership interest through the ownership of subordinated units (49%) and through common units (6.5%), based on all of the outstanding common, subordinated and general partner units.
The Company evaluated its investment in Navios Midstream under ASC 810 and concluded that Navios Midstream is not a VIE. The Company further evaluated the power to control the board of directors of Navios Midstream under the voting interest model. As of the IPO date, Navios Acquisition as the general partner, delegated all its powers to the board of directors of Navios Midstream and does not have the right to remove or replace the elected directors from the board of directors. Elected directors were appointed by the general partner, but as of the IPO date are deemed to be elected directors. The elected directors represent the majority of the board of directors of Midstream and therefore, the Company concluded that it does not hold a controlling financial interest in Navios Midstream and deconsolidated the vessels sold as of the IPO date. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/ (loss) present the results of the four vessel-owning subsidiaries that were sold to Navios Midstream for the period up to November 17, 2014.

• | Investment in common units – The 1,242,692 common units that were acquired at the closing of the IPO were fair valued at $15 per unit and are accounted for under investment in available for sale securities.

• | Investment in the subordinated units and general partner units – Under ASC 323, the Company concluded that it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Navios Midstream and, therefore, its investment in the subordinated and general partner units of Navios Midstream was fair valued at $15 per unit and is accounted for under the equity method. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the investment in Navios Midstream (subordinated units and general partner units) accounted for under the equity method was $148,133 and $147,031, respectively. |

As of the deconsolidation date, the Company’s share of the basis difference between the fair value and the underlying book value of Navios Midstream’s assets was $17,883, from which an amount of $(300) was allocated on the intangibles assets and $18,183 was allocated on the tangible assets.

On March 31, 2014, the Company completed a sale of $60,000 of its first priority ship mortgage notes due in 2021 (the “Additional Notes,” and together with the Existing Notes, the “2021 Notes”). The terms of the Additional Notes are identical to the Existing Notes and were issued at 103.25% plus accrued interest from November 13, 2013. The net cash received amounted to $59,798.
The 2021 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all of Navios Acquisition’s subsidiaries with the exception of Navios Acquisition Finance (a co-issuer of the 2021 Notes).
The 2021 Co-Issuers have the option to redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part, at any time (i) before November 15, 2016, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and (ii) on or after November 15, 2016, at a fixed price of 106.094% of the principal amount, which price declines ratably until it reaches par in 2019, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

NOTE 11: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.
Restricted Cash: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.
Investments in available-for-sale securities: The carrying amount of the investments in available-for-sale securities reported in the balance sheet represents unrealized gains and losses on these securities, which are reflected directly in equity unless an unrealized loss is considered “other-than-temporary”, in which case it is transferred to the statements of comprehensive income/ (loss).
Other long-term debt, net of deferred finance costs: As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-03, the book value has been adjusted to reflect the net presentation of deferred financing costs. The outstanding balance of the floating rate loans continue to approximate its fair value, excluding the effect of any deferred finance costs.
Ship Mortgage Notes and premiums: The fair value of the 2021 Notes, which has a fixed rate, was determined based on quoted market prices, as indicated in the table below.

NOTE 14: PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK
Preferred Stock
As of March 31, 2015, the Company was authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.
As of each of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 4,540 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
On each of August 31, 2012, October 31, 2012, February 13, 2013 and April 24, 2013, Navios Acquisition issued 300 shares of its authorized Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (nominal and fair value $3,000) to a shipyard, in partial settlement of the purchase price of each of the newbuilding LR1 product tankers, Nave Cassiopeia, Nave Cetus, Nave Atropos and Nave Rigel. The preferred stock includes a 6% per annum dividend payable quarterly, starting one year after delivery of each vessel. The Series D Convertible 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 preferred stock shall have the right to convert such 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 Series D Convertible Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights. Navios Acquisition is obligated to redeem the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (or converted common shares) at their nominal value at the holder’s option. Beginning 18 months after the issuance of the preferred stock, the holder can exercise the option to request the redemption of up to 250 shares of preferred stock (or converted common shares) on a quarterly basis.
The fair value was determined using a combination of the 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.
In January 2015, Navios Acquisition redeemed, through the holder’s put option, 250 shares of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and paid $2,500 to the holder upon redemption.
In February 2015, 200 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock were mandatorily converted into 200,000 shares of common stock. In conjunction with the conversion, the 200,000 shares of common stock have been reclassified to puttable common stock within temporary equity, as a result of an embedded put option of the holder for up to 30 months.
As of each of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 750 and 1,200 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, were outstanding.

In October 2013, Navios Acquisition authorized and issued to its directors in the aggregate of 2,100,000 restricted shares of common stock and options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock having an exercise price of $3.91 per share and an expiration term of 10 years. These awards of restricted common stock and stock options are based on service conditions only and vest ratably over a period of over three years (33.33% each year). The holders of restricted stock are entitled to dividends paid on the same schedule as paid to the common stockholders of the company. The fair value of restricted stock is determined by reference to the quoted stock price on the date of grant of $3.99 per share (or total fair value of $8,379).
The fair value of stock option grants is determined with reference to option pricing model, and principally adjusted Black-Scholes models, using historical volatility, historical dividend yield, zero forfeiture rate, risk free rate equal to 10-year US treasury bond and the simplified method for determining the expected option term since the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data upon which to have a reasonable basis to estimate the expected option term. The fair value of stock options was calculated to $0.79 per option (or $1,188). Compensation expense is recognized based on a graded expense model over the vesting period of three years from the date of the grant.
The effect of compensation expense arising from the stock-based arrangements described above amounted to $656 and $1,442, for the period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was reflected in general and administrative expenses on the statements of comprehensive income/ (loss). The recognized compensation expense for the year was presented as adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities on the statements of cash flows.
There were no restricted stock or stock options exercised, forfeited or expired during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Restricted shares outstanding and not vested amounted to 1,400,006 shares as of March 31, 2015 and the number of stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2015 amounted to 1,500,000. There were no stock options exercisable as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The estimated compensation cost relating to service conditions of non-vested (a) stock options and (b) restricted stock not yet recognized was $319 and $2,251, respectively, as of March 31, 2015 and is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.57 years. The weighted average contractual life of stock options outstanding as at March 31, 2015 was 8.6 years.

NOTE 15: 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: INVESTMENT IN AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES
As part of the consideration received from the sale of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of four of Navios Acquisition’s vessel-owning subsidiaries (Shinyo Ocean Limited, Shinyo Kannika Limited, Shinyo Kieran Limited and Shinyo Saowalak Limited) to Navios Midstream in November 2014, the Company received 1,242,692 common units of Navios Midstream. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the investment in available-for-sale common units was $17,373 and $15,099, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, the unrealized holding income on the investment amounted to $2,274 and is included in “Other comprehensive income/ (loss)”.
NOTE 17: INCOME/ (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Income / (Loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income / (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock of Navios Acquisition outstanding during the period.
Potential common shares of 7,676,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, (which included Series A Preferred Stock and Stock Options) and 14,406,286 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 (which include Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Preferred Stock, Restricted Stock and Stock Options) have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease income / (loss) per share) and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted income/ (loss) per share.

NOTE 18: INCOME TAXES
The Marshall Islands, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, Panama and Malta do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of those countries, the countries of incorporation of the Company and its subsidiaries and/or the vessels’ registration, the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in direct vessel expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income/ (loss).
As of January 1, 2013, foreign-flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies in Greece are subject to duties towards the Greek state which are calculated on the basis of the relevant vessels’ tonnage. The payment of such duties exhausts the tax liability of the foreign ship owning company and the relevant manager against any tax, duty, charge or contribution payable on income from the exploitation of the foreign flagged vessel. The amount included in Navios Acquisition’s statements of comprehensive income/ (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2015, related to the Greek Tonnage tax was $517.

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 Navios Acquisition’s ship-operating subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria. In addition, these companies must meet an ownership test. Subject to proposed regulations becoming finalized in their current form, the management of Navios Acquisition believes by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company like Navios Acquisition, 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.
NOTE 19: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 11, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the first quarter of 2015 of $0.05 per share of common stock payable on July 2, 2015 to stockholders of record as of June 18, 2015. The declaration and payment of any further dividends remain subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors 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 of Directors may deem advisable.
On April 30, 2015, 200 shares of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock were mandatorily converted into 200,000 shares of puttable common stock. In conjunction with the conversion, the 200,000 shares of common stock have been reclassified to puttable common stock within temporary equity, as a result of an embedded put option of the holder for up to 30 months.
On April 24, 2015, Navios Acquisition redeemed, through the holder’s put option, 25,000 shares of the puttable common stock and paid $250 to the holder upon redemption.
On April 24, 2015, Navios Acquisition redeemed, through the holder’s put option, 75 shares of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and paid $750 to the holder upon redemption.
