Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 of Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (referred to herein as “we,” “us” or “Navios Acquisition”). All of the financial statements have been stated 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 2016 Annual Report filed on Form20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This Report contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future events and expectations, including with respect to Navios Acquisition’s future dividends, 2017 cash flow generation and Navios Acquisition’s growth strategy and measures to implement such strategy; including expected vessel acquisitions and entering into further time charters. Words such as “may,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “hopes,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include comments regarding expected revenue and time charters. These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by, Navios Acquisition at the time this filing was made. Although Navios Acquisition believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. These statements involve known and unknown risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Navios Acquisition. 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, the creditworthiness of our charterers and the ability of our contract counterparties to fulfill their obligations to us, tanker industry trends, including charter rates and vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand, the aging of our vessels and resultant increases in operation and dry docking costs, the loss of any customer or charter or vessel, our ability to repay outstanding indebtedness, to obtain additional financing and to obtain replacement charters for our vessels, in each case, at commercially acceptable rates or at all, increases in costs and expenses, including but not limited to: crew wages, insurance, provisions, port expenses, lube oil, bunkers, repairs, maintenance and general and administrative expenses, the expected cost of, and our ability to comply with, governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards, as well as standard regulations imposed by our charterers applicable to our business, potential liability from litigation and our vessel operations, including discharge of pollutants, general domestic and international political conditions, 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual and interim reports filed on Form20-F and Form6-K. Navios Acquisition expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Navios Acquisition’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. Navios Acquisition makes no prediction or statement about the performance of its common stock.

Charter Policy and Industry Outlook
Our core fleet currently consists of 36 vessels, of which eight are VLCCs, 26 are product tankers and two are chemical tankers. All of our vessels arechartered-out to high-quality counterparties, including affiliates of Navig8, Shell and Mansel with an average remaining charter period of approximately one year. Many of our charters have profit sharing arrangements (see fleet table above). While all of our vessels are currentlychartered-out, we intend to deploy any vessels that would become open—notchartered-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.
Using Navios Holdings’ global network of relationships and extensive experience in the maritime transportation industry, coupled with its commercial, financial and operational expertise, we plan to opportunistically grow our fleet through the timely and selective acquisition of high-quality newbuilding or secondhand vessels when we believe those acquisitions will result in attractive returns on invested capital and increased cash flow. We also intend to engage in opportunistic dispositions where we can achieve attractive values for our vessels as we assess the market cycle. We believe our diverse and versatile fleet, combined with the experience and long- standing relationships of Navios Holdings with participants in the maritime transportation industry, position us to identify and take advantage of attractive acquisition opportunities.

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 combined and 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 dry dock 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.
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. As of August 17, 2017 the average age of Navios Acquisition’s owned fleet is 6.5 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.

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 subtractingoff-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 areoff-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, dry dockings or special surveys. |
(4) | TCE Rate: Time charter equivalent rate per day 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 per day 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 June 30, 2017 decreased by $16.0 million, or 21.5%, to $58.5 million, as compared to $74.5 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to a: (i) decrease in the market rates during the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016; and (ii) decrease in revenue by $3.3 million due to the sale of two chemical tankers in the fourth quarter of 2016. The time charter equivalent rate, or TCE Rate, decreased to $17,491 for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, from $21,380 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.
Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 increased by $4.6 million to $5.6 million, as compared to $1.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase was attributable to a (i) $4.1 million backstop commitment to Navios Midstream; and (ii) $0.7 million increase in bunkers and other voyage expenses; partially mitigated by a $0.2 million decrease in broker commission costs.
Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprising of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs and expenses incurred in connection with specialized work performed on certain vessels of our fleet amounted to $0.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $1.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.
Management fees: Management fees for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $0.6 million to $23.7 million as compared to $24.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, attributable to the decrease in the number of vessels operating under Navios Acquisition’s fleet, partially mitigated by the increase in management fees in effect as of May 29, 2016, described below. Pursuant to our Management Agreement, Navios Tankers Management Inc. (the “Manager”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, provided commercial and technical management services to Navios Acquisition’s vessels for a daily fee of: (a) $6,000 per MR2 product tanker and chemical tanker vessel; (b) $7,000 per LR1 product tanker vessel; and (c) $9,500 per VLCC, through May 2016.

General and administrative expenses: Total general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $2.3 million to $3.7 million compared to $6.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, mainly due to a (i) $2.0 million decrease in compensation to the directors and/or officers of the Company; and (ii) $0.3 million decrease in other general and administrative expenses, including professional fees and expenses. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the expenses charged by Navios Holdings for administrative services were $2.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.1 million to $14.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $14.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, due to the sale of vessels mentioned above. Depreciation of a vessel is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years from the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard.
Interest income: Interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 increased by $1.7 million to $2.5 million compared to $0.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase of the interest income accrued under the revolving loans granted to Navios Holdings, Navios Europe Inc. (“Navios Europe I”) and Navios Europe (II) Inc. (“Navios Europe II”).
Interest expense and finance cost: Interest expense and finance cost for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 increased by $0.9 million to $19.8 million, as compared to $18.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, due to (i) the increase in the amortization andwrite-off of deferred finance cost by $0.9 million to $1.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $0.8 million for the same period of 2016; and (ii) the increase of the weighted average interest rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was 6.43% compared to 6.00%, in the same period in 2016; partially mitigated by the decrease of the average outstanding loan balance to $1,105.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $1,187.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital requirements, dry docking expenditures, minimum cash balance maintenance as per our credit facility agreements and debt repayment, and other obligations from time to time, 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 dry docking expenditures and expenditures to replace vessels in order to maintain the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations, proceeds from asset sales and bank borrowings, which we believe 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 cash from operations and upon external financing sources, including bank borrowings, to fund acquisitions, expansion and investment capital expenditures and other commitments we have entered into. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure adequate financing or obtain additional funds on favorable terms, to meet our liquidity needs.
Navios Acquisition may use funds to repurchase its outstanding capital stock and/or indebtedness from time to time. Repurchases may be made in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms Navios Acquisition deems appropriate and subject to its cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under Navios Acquisition’s debt agreements, and other factors management deems relevant.

EBITDA represents net (loss)/income before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization and before income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA in this document represents EBITDA before stock-based compensation, gain on sale of vessel and other- than- temporary- impairment loss on equity investment. We use Adjusted EBITDA as liquidity measure and reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by/ (used in) operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA in this document is calculated as follows: net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities adding back, when applicable and as the case may be, the effect of: (i) net increase/(decrease) in operating assets; (ii) net (increase)/decrease in operating liabilities; (iii) net interest cost; (iv) amortization of deferred finance cost and other related expenses; (v) equity in net earnings of affiliated companies, net of dividends received; (vi) payments for dry dock and special survey costs; and (vii) impairment charges. Navios Acquisition believes that Adjusted EBITDA is the 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. Navios Acquisition also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is used: (i) by potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; (ii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates; and (iii) by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Acquisition’s 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)
12
although depreciation and amortization arenon-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’s 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 June 30, 2017 decreased by approximately $18.4 million to $27.1 million as compared to $45.5 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $16.0 million decrease in revenue, as described above; (b) $4.6 million increase in time charter expenses mainly due to the $4.1 million accrued backstop commitment to Navios Midstream; and (c) $2.4 million decrease in equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies, partially mitigated by a; (i) $2.0 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding the share-based compensation expense); (ii) $1.2 million decrease in other income/ (expense), net; (iii) $0.7 million decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding amortization of dry dock and special survey costs); and (iv) $0.6 million decrease in management fees, mainly due to the sale of two chemical tankers in the fourth quarter of 2016, as discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased by approximately $36.7 million to $64.5 million as compared to $101.2 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $32.0��million decrease in revenue, as described above; (b) $6.3 million increase in time charter expenses mainly due to the $5.2 million accrued backstop commitment to Navios Midstream; and (c) $4.5 million decrease in equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies, partially mitigated by a; (i) $2.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding the share-based compensation expense); (ii) $1.4 million decrease in management fees, mainly due to the sale of one MR2 product tanker in January 2016 and two chemical tankers in the fourth quarter of 2016; (iii) $1.4 million decrease in other expense, net; and (iv) $0.7 million decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding amortization of dry dock and special survey costs).

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 statements of operations.
Interest Rate Risk
As of June 30, 2017, Navios Acquisition had a total of $1,098.7 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 six month period ended June 30, 2017, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 6.42%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 by $2.2 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 six month period ended June 30, 2017, Navig8, Shell and Mansel accounted for 29.0%, 14.0% and 14.0%, respectively, of Navios Acquisition’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2016, these three customers accounted for 33.0%, 20.0% and 14.7%, respectively, of Navios Acquisition’s revenue.
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 ofnon-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.
18
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 expenses in the current and foreseeable economic environment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU2017-03 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323).” The ASU amends the Codification for SEC staff announcements made at recent Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meetings. The SEC guidance that specifically relates to our Consolidated Financial Statements was from the September 2016 meeting, where the SEC staff expressed their expectations about the extent of disclosures registrants should make about the effects of the new FASB guidance as well as any amendments issued prior to adoption, on revenue (ASU2014-09), leases (ASU2016-02) and credit losses on financial instruments (ASU2016-13) in accordance with SAB Topic 11.M. Registrants are required to disclose the effect that recently issued accounting standards will have on their financial statements when adopted in a future period. In cases where a registrant cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption, then additional qualitative disclosures should be considered. The ASU incorporates these SEC staff views into ASC 250 and adds references to that guidance in the transition paragraphs of each of the three new standards. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”. This Update addresses the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU2016-02 will apply to both types of leases — capital (or finance) leases and operating leases. According to the new Accounting Standard, lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. ASU2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnotes disclosures.
In January 2016, FASB issued ASU2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic825-10)—Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The amendments in this ASU require an entity (i) to measure equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) to perform a qualitative assessment to identify impairment in equity investments without readily determinable fair values; (iii) to present separately in other comprehensive income the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk; and (iv) to present separately financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet. The amendments also eliminate the requirement, for public business entities, to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet and clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related toavailable-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, ASU2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” clarifying the method used to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of operations. 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 was originally effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU2014-09 for all entities by one year. The standard will be effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2017.
Investments in Equity Securities: Navios Acquisition evaluates its investment in Navios Midstream, Navios Europe I and Navios Europe II for OTTI on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of Navios Midstream, Navios Europe I and Navios Europe II, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in Navios Midstream, Navios Europe I and Navios Europe II for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
The fair value of our investment in Navios Midstream has been below its carrying value for a period over twelve months, due to the decline in the quoted price of the common units of Navios Midstream.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company considered the decline in fair value of its investment in Navios Midstream as “other-than-temporary” and therefore, recognized anon-cash loss of $59.1 million based on its quoted unit price of $9.36, as of June 30, 2017. The respective loss was included in “Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of Operations.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 operations of Navios Acquisition are managed by a subsidiary of Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”).

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 balance sheets, statement of changes in equity, statements of operations 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 2016 Annual Report filed on Form20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
(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 (“VIEs”) 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.
Based on internal forecasts and projections that take into account reasonably possible changes in our trading performance, management believes that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operation and meet its financial commitments, including but not limited to capital expenditures and debt service obligations, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

The Company elected to early adopt the requirements of Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”)2017-01, “Business Combinations” effective beginning the second quarter ending June 30, 2017. The early adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
(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.

(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 anon-going basis, management evaluates the estimates and judgments, including those related to uncompleted voyages, future dry dock dates, the carrying value of investments in affiliates, 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 receivable, 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.
(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.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share data)
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 affect 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 isre-estimated to end at the date such regulations become effective.
(g) Vessels held for sale: Vessels are classified as “Vessels held for sale” when all of the following criteria are met: management has committed to a plan to sell the vessel; the vessel is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of vessels; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the vessel have been initiated; the sale of the vessel is probable and transfer of the vessel is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Vessels classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These vessels are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale.
(h) 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, if any. 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 the 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.
(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 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.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share data)
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) ASU2017-03 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323).” The ASU amends the Codification for SEC staff announcements made at recent Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meetings. The SEC guidance that specifically relates to our Consolidated Financial Statements was from the September 2016 meeting, where the SEC staff expressed their expectations about the extent of disclosures registrants should make about the effects of the new FASB guidance as well as any amendments issued prior to adoption, on revenue (ASU2014-09), leases (ASU2016-02) and credit losses on financial instruments (ASU2016-13) in accordance with SAB Topic 11.M. Registrants are required to disclose the effect that recently issued accounting standards will have on their financial statements when adopted in a future period. In cases where a registrant cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption, then additional qualitative disclosures should be considered. The ASU incorporates these SEC staff views into ASC 250 and adds references to that guidance in the transition paragraphs of each of the three new standards. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”. This Update addresses the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU2016-02 will apply to both types of leases — capital (or finance) leases and operating leases. According to the new Accounting Standard, lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. ASU2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnotes disclosures.
In January 2016, FASB issued ASU2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic825-10)—Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The amendments in this ASU require an entity (i) to measure equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) to perform a qualitative assessment to identify impairment in equity investments

without readily determinable fair values; (iii) to present separately in other comprehensive income the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk; and (iv) to present separately financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet. The amendments also eliminate the requirement, for public business entities, to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet and clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related toavailable-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, ASU2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” clarifying the method used to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of operations. 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 was originally effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU2014-09 for all entities by one year. The standard will be effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6: INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES
Navios Europe I
On October 9, 2013, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”) established Navios Europe I and had economic interests of 47.5%, 47.5% and 5.0%, respectively. On December 18, 2013, Navios Europe I acquired ten vessels for aggregate consideration consisting of (i) cash which was funded with the proceeds of senior loan facility (the “Senior Loan I”) and loans aggregating $10,000 from Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners (collectively, the “Navios Term Loans I”) and (ii) the assumption of a junior participating loan facility (the “Junior Loan I”). In addition to the Navios Term Loans I, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners will also make available to Navios Europe I revolving loans up to $24,100 to fund working capital requirements (collectively, the “Navios Revolving Loans I”). Effective November 2014 and as of June 30, 2017, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners have voting interest of 50%, 50% and 0%, respectively.
On an ongoing basis, Navios Europe I is required to distribute cash flows (after payment of operating expenses, amounts due pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan I and repayments of the Navios Revolving Loans I) according to a defined waterfall calculation.
The Navios Term Loans I will be repaid from the future sale of vessels owned by Navios Europe I and is deemed to be the initial investment by Navios Acquisition. Navios Acquisition evaluated its investment in Navios Europe I under ASC 810 and concluded that Navios Europe I is a VIE and that the Company is not the party most closely associated with Navios Europe I and, accordingly, is not the primary beneficiary of Navios Europe I.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share data)
Navios Midstream
On October 13, 2014, the Company formed Navios Midstream under the laws of Marshall Islands. Navios Maritime Midstream Partners GP L.L.C. (the “Navios Midstream General Partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Acquisition, was also formed on that date to act as the general partner of Navios Midstream and received a 2.0% general partner interest.
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 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.
The Company evaluated its investment in Navios Midstream (NYSE: NAP) 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 but concluded that it does maintain significant influence and deconsolidated the vessels sold as of the IPO date.
Following the deconsolidation of Navios Midstream, the Company accounts for all of its interest in the general partner and in each of the common and subordinated units under the equity method of accounting.
In connection with the sale of the Nave Celeste and the C. Dream to Navios Midstream in June 2015, Navios Acquisition received 1,592,920 Subordinated Series A Units of Navios Midstream, as part of the sales price. In conjunction with the transaction, Navios Midstream also issued 32,509 general partner units to the General Partner for $551, in order for the General Partner to maintain its 2.0% general partnership interest. The Company analyzed its investment in the subordinated Series A units and concluded that this is to be accounted for under the equity method on the basis that the Company has significant influence over Navios Midstream. The Company’s investment in the subordinated Series A units was fair valued at $17.02 per unit, in total $27,111 on the date of the sale of the vessels to Navios Midstream.
On July 29, 2016, Navios Midstream launched a continuous offering sales program of its common units for an aggregate offering of up to $25,000.
On September 30, 2016, December 30, 2016, February 16, 2017 and May 5, 2017 Navios Acquisition entered into securities purchase agreements with Navios Midstream pursuant to which Navios Acquisition made an investment in Navios Midstream by purchasing 5,655, 1,143, 6,446 and 412 general partnership interests, respectively, for a consideration of $75, $14, $79 and $5 respectively, in order to maintain its 2.0% partnership interest in Navios Midstream in light of such continuous offering sales program.
The Company determined, under the equity method, that the issuance of common units of Navios Midstream qualified as a sale of shares by the investee. As a result, a net loss of $5 and $54 was recognized in “Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies” for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company owned a 2.0% general partner interest in Navios Midstream through the Navios Midstream General Partner and a 57.0% limited partnership interest through the ownership of subordinated units (43.7%), the subordinated series A units (7.5%) and through common units (5.8%), based on all of the outstanding common, subordinated and general partner units.
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, total income from Navios Midstream recognized in “Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies” was $993 and $ 3,442, respectively. Dividends received during the three month period ended June 30, 2017 were $5,326 ($5,320 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016).

Of this difference an amount of $(72) was allocated to the intangible assets and $2,626 was allocated to the tangible assets. This difference is amortized through “Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies” over the remaining life of Navios Midstream’s tangible and intangible assets.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, thepre-OTTI unamortized difference between the carrying amount of the investment in Navios Midstream and the amount of the Company’s underlying equity in net assets of Navios Midstream was $20,372 and $21,221, respectively.

Sale of the C. Dream and the Nave Celeste: On June 18, 2015, Navios Acquisition sold the vessel-owning subsidiaries of the C. Dream and the Nave Celeste to Navios Midstream for a sale price of $100,000 in total. Out of the $100,000 purchase price, $73,000 was paid in cash and the remaining amount was paid through the issuance of 1,592,920 subordinated Series A Units of Navios Midstream. In conjunction with the transaction, Navios Midstream also issued 32,509 general partner units to the General Partner, in order for the General Partner to maintain its 2.0% general partnership interest, for $551.
The Company recognized its incremental investment in Navios Midstream, which amounted to $27,665 under “Investment in affiliates”. The investment was recognized at fair value at $17.02 per unit. The incremental investment included the Company’s share of the basis difference between the fair value and the underlying book value of Navios Midstream’s assets at the transaction date, which amounted to $2,554. Of this difference an amount of $(72) was allocated to the intangibles assets and $2,626 was allocated to the tangible assets. This difference is amortized through “Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies” over the remaining life of Navios Midstream’s tangible and intangible assets.
The transaction resulted in a gain on sale of $14,742, of which $5,771 was recognized at the time of sale in the statements of operations under “Gain on sale of vessels” and the remaining $8,971 representing profit of Navios Acquisition’s 60.9% interest in Navios Midstream has been deferred under “Deferred gain on sale of assets” and is being amortized over the vessels’ remaining useful life or until the vessels are sold. Subsequently, the deferred gain is amortized to income over the remaining useful life of the vessel. The recognition of the deferred gain is accelerated in the event that (i) the vessel is subsequently sold or otherwise disposed of by Navios Midstream or (ii) the Company’s ownership interest in Navios Midstream is reduced.
In connection with the public offerings of common units by Navios Midstream, a pro rata portion of the deferred gain is released to income upon dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in Navios Midstream. As of June 30, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016, the unamortized deferred gain for all vessels and rights sold totaled $8,197 and $8,823, respectively, of which an amount of $979 and $994, respectively, was included in “Deferred revenue”. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, Navios Acquisition recognized $253 and $0 of the deferred gain, respectively, in “Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies”.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, Navios Acquisition recognized $626 and $0 of the deferred gain, respectively, in “Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies”.
Participation in offerings of affiliates: On July 29, 2016, Navios Midstream launched a continuous offering sales program of its common units for an aggregate offering of up to $25,000. (Refer also to Note6- “Investment in affiliates”).
On September 30, 2016, December 30, 2016, February 16, 2017 and May 5, 2017 Navios Acquisition entered into securities purchase agreements with Navios Midstream pursuant to which Navios Acquisition made an investment in Navios Midstream by purchasing 5,655, 1,143, 6,446 and 412 general partnership interests, respectively, for a consideration of $75, $14, $79 and $5, respectively, in order to maintain its 2.0% partnership interest in Navios Midstream in light of such continuous offering sales program.
The Company determined, under the equity method, that the issuance of common units of Navios Midstream qualified as a sale of shares by the investee. As a result, a net loss of $5 and $54 was recognized in “Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies” for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
Balance due from Navios Europe I: Balance due from Navios Europe I as of June 30, 2017 amounted to $13,406 (December 31, 2016: $12,301) which included the Navios Revolving Loans I of $7,125 (December 31, 2016: $7,125), thenon-current amount of $2,683 (December 31, 2016: $2,231) related to the accrued interest income earned under the Navios Term Loans I under the caption “Due from related parties, long-term” and the accrued interest income earned under the Navios Revolving Loans I of $3,598 (December 31, 2016: $2,945) under the caption “Due from related parties, short-term.”

Stock based compensation

These awards of restricted common stock and stock options are based on service conditions only and vest ratably over a period of 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 was 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).

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share data)
The fair value of stock option grants was determined with reference to the option pricing model, and principally adjusted Black-Scholes models, using historical volatility, historical dividend yield, zero forfeiture rate, risk free rate equal to10-year U.S. treasury bond and the simplified method for determining the expected option term since the Company did 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 at $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 $0 and $264, for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and was reflected in general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations. The recognized compensation expense was presented as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities on the statements of cash flows. For the six month period ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the effect of compensation expense arising from the stock-based arrangements described above amounted to $0 and $528, respectively.
There were no restricted stock or stock options exercised, forfeited or expired during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017.
On October 24, 2016, 2015 and 2014, 700,005, 700,001 and 699,994 shares of restricted stock, respectively, were vested. Accordingly, there were no unvested restricted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016.
On each of October 24, 2016, 2015 and 2014, 500,000 stock options were vested. Accordingly, there were no unvested stock options outstanding andnon-vested as of June 30, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016.
The weighted average contractual life of stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2017 was 6.3 years.
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.

Potential common shares of 9,176,000 (which includes Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and Stock options) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted income/(loss) per share.

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 these countries, the countries of incorporation of the Company and its subsidiaries and /or vessels’ registration, the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in the daily management fee.
In accordance with the currently applicable Greek law, foreign flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies having established an office in Greece are subject to duties towards the Greek state which are calculated on the basis of the relevant vessels’ tonnage. The payment of said 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 operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and 2016 related to the Greek Tonnage tax was $480 and $612, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, it was $68 and $0, respectively.
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.
NOTE 17: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 8, 2017, Navios Acquisition redeemed, through the holder’s put option, 50,000 shares of puttable common stock and paid cash of $500 to the holder upon redemption.
On August 9, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the second quarter of 2017 of $0.05 per share of common stock payable on September 14, 2017 to stockholders of record as of September 7, 2017. 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.
