Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 of Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (referred to herein as “we”, “us” or “Navios Acquisition”).

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

Recent Developments and History

$610.0 million 8 1/8% First Priority Ship Mortgages Due 2021

On November 13, 2013, Navios Acquisition and Navios Acquisition Finance (US) Inc., its wholly owned finance subsidiary (“Navios Acquisition Finance”), completed the sale of $610.0 million of 8 1/8% first priority ship mortgage notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”). The 2021 Notes are guaranteed by Navios Acquisition’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. The 2021 Notes are secured by first priority ship mortgages on 12 vessels aggregating approximately 2.6 million deadweight tons owned by certain subsidiary guarantors.

Navios Acquisition and Navios Acquisition Finance have commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of their outstanding 8 5/8% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and a consent solicitation to eliminate or modify most of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default, and release the liens for the benefit of the holders on the assets that secure the 2017 Notes, and make other changes to provisions contained in the indenture governing the 2017 Notes (the “Consent Solicitation” and, together with the Tender Offer, the “Offer”).

The Tender Offer expires on November 26, 2013.

Dividend Policy

On November 8, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the third quarter of 2013 of $0.05 per share of common stock payable on January 7, 2014 to stockholders of record as of December 19, 2013.

Fleet

“Core fleet” refers to tanker vessels, including the new buildings to be delivered. The current “core fleet” consists of 44 vessels totaling 5,053,305 dwt. The 34 vessels currently in operation aggregate approximately 3,806,470 dwt and have an average age of 4.7 years. Navios Acquisition has currently fixed 99.5%, 74.1% and 42.3% of its 2013, 2014 and 2015 available days, respectively, of its fleet, representing contracted revenues (net of commissions), based on the rates from current charter agreements of $193.7 million, $200.8 million and $152.2 million, respectively. Although these revenues are based on contractual charter rates, any contract is subject to performance by the counterparties and us. Additionally, the level of these revenues would decrease depending on the vessels’ off-hire days to perform periodic maintenance. The average contractual daily charter-out rate for the core fleet is $20,124, $19,350 and $22,641 for 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Charter Policy and Industry Outlook

Our core fleet consists of 44 vessels, of which seven VLCCs are chartered out for an average of 5.6 years at approximately $40,440 net per day, 26 vessels are chartered out for periods ranging from six months to four years, one vessel is performing short term positioning voyages and the remaining ten vessels are still to be delivered. Of the vessels being delivered during 2014 and through the second quarter of 2015, we have chartered out three MR2 tanker vessels for two years. As a result, the average charter out period of our entire fleet is 2.3 years. Many of our charters have profit sharing arrangements (see fleet table above). We intend to deploy the open vessels that have not been chartered out to leading charterers in a mix of long, medium and short-term time charters, depending on 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 grow our fleet using Navios Holdings’ global network of relationships and extensive experience in the marine transportation industry, coupled with our financial resources and financing capability, to make selective acquisitions of young, high quality, modern, double-hulled vessels in the 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 the depressed charter rates for crude, product and chemical tankers that have persisted since the fall of 2008.

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

Factors Affecting Navios Acquisition’s Results of Operations

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

•

the demand for seaborne transportation services;

•

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

•

the effective and efficient technical management of our vessels;

•

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

•

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

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

•

the charter hire earned by our vessels under our charters;

•

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

•

our ability to sell vessels at prices we deem satisfactory;

•

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

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 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 Time Charter Equivalent 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.

Voyage and Time Charter

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

•

the duration of the charters;

•

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

•

decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;

•

the amount of time spent positioning vessels;

•

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

•

the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and

•

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

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

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

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

The cost to maintain and operate a vessel increases with the age of the vessel. Older vessels are less fuel efficient, cost more to insure and require upgrades from time to time to comply with new regulations. The average age of Navios Acquisition’s owned fleet currently in the water, is 4.7 years. But as such fleet ages or if Navios Acquisition expands its fleet by acquiring previously owned and older vessels the cost per vessel would be expected to rise and, assuming all else, including rates, remains constant, vessel profitability would be expected to decrease.

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

For the three month period ended September 30, 2013, Navios Acquisition had 2,646 available days. There were 1,472 available days in the comparative period of 2012.

Revenue: Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $15.6 million or 41.3% to $53.4 million, as compared to $37.8 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisitions of the Nave Cetus in October 2012, the Nave Aquila in November 2012, the Nave Bellatrix in January 2013, the Nave Rigel in February 2013, the Nave Orion in March 2013, the Nave Atropos in April 2013, the Nave Titan and Nave Equinox in June 2013, the Nave Capella, the Nave Pulsar and the Nave Universe in July 2013, the Nave Celeste in August 2013, the Nave Constellation, the Nave Alderamin, the Nave Dorado and the Bougainville in September 2013. As a result of the vessel acquisitions, available days of the fleet increased to 2,646 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to 1,472 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase in revenue was partially mitigated by the decrease in time charter equivalent (“TCE”) to $18,835 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, from $25,185 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012.

Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 were $3.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Time charter and voyage expenses are primarily related to broker fees and various voyage expenses. The increase in time charter and voyage expenses by $2.9 million was mainly attributed to the additional voyage expenses incurred in the period.

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprised of the amortization of drydock and special survey costs of certain vessels of our fleet, amounting to $0.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. Direct vessel expenses for the comparative period in 2012, were $0.8 million and were related to drydock and special survey costs certain vessels of our fleet.

Management fees: Management fees for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 increased by $7.6 million to $19.4 million from $11.8 million for the same period of 2012. The increase was attributable to the addition of 16 operating vessels and the increase in the number of available days described above. (See Related Party Transactions).

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses were $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase was attributable to the $0.4 million increase in administrative services charged by the Navios Tanker Management Inc. (the “Manager”) a subsidiary of Navios Holdings, due to the addition of the operating vessels described above and partially offset $0.2 million decrease in legal, audit and other professional services. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Manager had charged us $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for administrative services. (See Related Party Transactions)

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $17.8 million compared to $12.4 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $5.4 million was attributable to: (a) $2.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense; and (b) $2.4 million being accelerated amortization of the intangible assets associated with two product tanker vessels charter-out contracts. The increase in depreciation expense was attributable to the acquisition of the Nave Cetus in October 2012, the Nave Aquila in November 2012, the Nave Bellatrix in January 2013, the Nave Rigel in February 2013, the Nave Orion in March 2013, the Nave Atropos in April 2013, the Nave Titan and Nave Equinox in June 2013, the Nave Capella, the Nave Pulsar and the Nave Universe in July 2013, the Nave Celeste in August 2013, the Nave Constellation, the Nave Alderamin, the Nave Dorado and the Bougainville in September 2013, mitigated by a $0.7 million decrease, due to the reassessment of the residual value of the Company’s vessels.

Interest income: Interest income for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $0.02 million and $0.1 million respectively.

Interest expense and finance cost, net: Interest expense and finance cost, net amounted to $14.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, compared to $12.3 million for the same period in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

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.

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

As of November 19, 2013, the remaining contractual installments for our tanker vessels to be delivered on various dates through June 2015 were $319.2 million. Navios Acquisition expects to finance $223.2 million through debt financing of which $49.5 million is committed as of November 19, 2013 and the remaining $96.0 million through cash on hand.

EBITDA

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

EBITDA is presented because Navios Acquisition believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and 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. EBITDA is a “non-GAAP financial measure” and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

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

EBITDA for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, increased by $5.2 million to $29.2 million, as compared to $24.0 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in EBITDA was due to: (a) $15.6 million increase in revenue due to the acquisitions of the Nave Atria in July 2012, the Nave Cassiopeia in August 2012,

the Nave Cetus in October 2012, the Nave Aquila in November 2012, the Nave Bellatrix in January 2013, the Nave Rigel in February 2013, the Nave Orion in March 2013, the Nave Atropos in April 2013, the Nave Titan and the Nave Equinox in June 2013, the Nave Capella, the Nave Pulsar and the Nave Universe in July 2013, the Nave Celeste in August 2013, the Nave Constellation, the Nave Alderamin, the Nave Dorado and the Bougainville in September 2013; and (b) $0.4 million increase in other income/(expense), net. The above increase was partially mitigated by: (i) $2.9 million increase in time charter expenses (ii) $7.6 million increase in management fees; and (iii) $0.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses.

EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, increased by $16.1 million to $86.5 million, as compared to $70.4 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in EBITDA was due to: (a) $35.2 million increase in revenue due to the acquisitions of the Nave Atria in July 2012, the Nave Cassiopeia in August 2012, the Nave Cetus in October 2012, the Nave Aquila in November 2012, the Nave Bellatrix in January 2013, the Nave Rigel in February 2013, the Nave Orion in March 2013, the Nave Atropos in April 2013, the Nave Titan and the Nave Equinox in June 2013, the Nave Capella, the Nave Pulsar and the Nave Universe in July 2013, the Nave Celeste in August 2013, the Nave Constellation, the Nave Alderamin, the Nave Dorado and the Bougainville in September 2013.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

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

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2013, Navios Acquisition had a total of $1,101.1 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 Notes and the Additional Notes which is fixed. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk that our interest expense may increase if interest rates rise. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 2.96% excluding the Existing Notes and Additional Notes. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 by $3.9 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2013, DOSCO and Navigate accounted for 33.4% and 20.6%, respectively, of Navios Acquisition’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2012, DOSCO and STX Panocean Co. LTD these two customers accounted for 43.3% and 10.7%, 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 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

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that affect the Company.

The Company’s most critical accounting policies and estimates are those that involve subjective decisions or assessments and are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2012. There were no material changes to these critical accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, except for the one below:

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 cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight ton (LWT). 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. Up to December 31, 2012, management estimated the residual values of its vessels based on a scarp rate of $285 per LWT. Effective January 1, 2013, following management’s reassessment after considering current market trends for scrap rates and ten-year average historical scrap rates of the residual values of the company’s vessels, the estimated scrape value per LWT was increased to $360. This change reduced depreciation expense by $0.7 million and by $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 (approximately $0.01 and $0.02 per share, respectively).

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.

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 world-wide marine transportation services. The Company’s strategy is to charter its vessels to international oil companies, refiners and large vessel operators under long, medium and short-term charters. The Company is committed to providing quality transportation services and developing and maintaining long-term relationships with its customers. The operations of Navios Acquisition are managed by Navios Tankers Management Inc. (the “Manager”) a subsidiary of Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) from its head offices in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

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

As of September 30, 2013, Navios Holdings had 48.5% of the voting power and 51.3% of the economic interest in Navios Acquisition.

As of September 30, 2013, Navios Acquisition had outstanding: 134,614,942 shares of common stock, 4,540 shares of preferred stock, from which 1,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are issued to Navios Holdings and 1,200 shares of convertible preferred stock.

On June 25, 2013, Navios Acquisition’s publicly traded warrants (exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercisable price of $7.00 per share) expired and were no longer exercisable. As Navios Acquisition’s publicly traded units contained a warrant, the units no longer existed upon the expiration of the warrants and any holders of the units continued to hold only the shares of common stock. Trading in the warrants and units on the NYSE was suspended after the close of business on June 19, 2013.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments for a fair statement of Navios Acquisition’s condensed consolidated financial position, statements of income and cash flows for the periods presented. Adjustments consist of normal, recurring entries. The year end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosure required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Acquisition’s 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

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

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

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

As of September 30, 2013, the entities included in these consolidated financial statements were:

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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

(e) Preferred shares Series D: Navios Acquisition issues shares of its authorized Series D Preferred Stock (nominal and fair value $12,000) to a shipyard, in partial settlement of the purchase price of its newbuild vessels. The preferred stock contains a 6% per annum dividend payable quarterly, starting one year after delivery of the vessel. The Series D Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert into shares of common stock 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 the shares of preferred stock into common stock prior to the scheduled maturity dates at a price of $7.00 per share of common stock. The preferred stock does not have any voting rights. Navios Acquisition is obligated to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock (or converted common shares) at holder’s option exercisable beginning on 18 months after issuance, at par payable at up to 12 equal quarterly installments.

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

(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 cost of steel times the weight of the ship noted in lightweight ton (LWT). 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. Up to December 31, 2012, management estimated the residual values of its vessels based on a scrap rate of $285 per LWT. Effective January 1, 2013, following management’s reassessment after considering current market trends for scrap rates and ten-year average historical scrap rates of the residual values of the company’s vessels, the estimated scrape value per LWT was increased to $360 per LWT. This change reduced depreciation expense by $697 and $1,928 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 respectively (approximately $0.01 and $0.02 per share, respectively).

(“Navios Partners”) in connection with the closing of Navios Acquisition’s 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.

NOTE 13: PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK

Preferred Stock

As of September 30, 2013, 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.

Redeemable 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 Preferred Stock (nominal and fair value $3,000) to a shipyard, in partial settlement of the purchase price of the newbuilt LR1 product tankers, the Nave Cassiopeia, the Nave Cetus and the Nave Rigel. The preferred stock contains a 6% per annum dividend payable quarterly, starting one year after delivery of the vessel. The Series D Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert into shares of common stock 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 Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights. Navios Acquisition is obligated to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock (or converted common shares) at holder’s option exercisable beginning on 18 months after issuance, at par payable at up to 12 equal quarterly installments.

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

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 4,540 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 1,200 and 600 shares of Series D preferred stock were outstanding, respectively.

NOTE 16: INCOME TAXES

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

As of January 1, 2013, foreign flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies in Greece are subject to Greek tonnage tax. The payment of tonnage tax exhausts the tax liability of the foreign ship owning company 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 statement of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, related to the Greek Tonnage tax was $136.

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 17: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In November 2013, Navios Acquisition agreed to acquire three VLCC vessels, built in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, for a total purchase price of $163,000. Navios Acquisition is expected to finance these acquisitions with cash on the balance sheet and 60% bank debt on terms consistent with its existing facilities. The vessels are expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2014.

On November 13, 2013, Navios Acquisition and Navios Acquisition Finance (US) Inc. (“Navios Acquisition Finance”) completed the sale of $610,000 of 8 1/8% First Priority Ship Mortgages (the “2021 Notes”). The 2021 Notes are guaranteed by Navios Acquisition’s direct and indirect subsidiaries. The 2021 Notes are secured by first priority ship mortgages on 12 vessels aggregating approximately 2.6 million deadweight tons owned by certain subsidiary guarantors.

Navios Acquisition and Navios Acquisition Finance have commenced a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of their outstanding 8 5/8% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and a consent solicitation to eliminate or modify most of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default, and release the liens for the benefit of the holders on the assets that secure the 2017 Notes, and make other changes to provisions contained in the indenture governing the 2017 Notes.

The Tender Offer expires on November 26, 2013.

On November 12, 2013, Navios Acquisition fully repaid the facility with DVB Bank SE. As of November 12, 2013 the outstanding amount was $43,007.
