Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 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 2019 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Such statements include comments regarding expected revenue and employment contracts. 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 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.

Recent Developments

Debt developments

In April 2020, Navios Acquisition entered into indicative terms sheets for contemplated sale and leaseback arrangements of $76.7 million, with unrelated third parties in order to refinance $54.0 million outstanding on the existing facilities on four product tankers. The agreements will be repaid through periods ranging from four to seven years in consecutive quarterly installments of up to $1.9 million each, with a purchase obligation of $28.7 million to be repaid on the last repayment date. The agreements bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 390 to 410 bps per annum, depending on the vessel financed. No assurance can be provided that definitive agreements will be executed or that the financing will be consummated in whole or in part.

Liquidation of Navios Europe II Inc.

On April 21, 2020, Navios Europe II agreed with the lender to fully release the liabilities under the junior participating loan facility for $5.0 million. Navios Europe II owns seven container vessels and seven dry bulk vessels. The structure is expected to be liquidated during the second quarter of 2020 and Navios Acquisition expects to receive cash and steel value. The Company’s Board of Directors formed a Special Committee of independent and disinterested directors to consider and approve the liquidation. Vessels to be acquired will be held for sale. Please refer to “Related Party Transactions”.

Continuous Offering Program

On November 29, 2019, Navios Acquisition entered into a Continuous Offering Program Sales Agreement, pursuant to which Navios Acquisition may issue and sell from time to time through the sales agent shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. As of May 8, 2020, since the commencement of the program, Navios Acquisition has issued 426,628 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $2.8 million.

Dividend Policy

On April 29, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the first quarter of 2020 of $0.30 per share of common stock which will be paid on July 9, 2020 to stockholders of record as of June 3, 2020. 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.

Fleet

As of May 8, 2020, our fleet consisted of a total of 46 double-hulled tanker vessels, aggregating approximately 5.7 million deadweight tons, or dwt. The fleet includes 13 Very Large Crude Carriers (“VLCC”) tankers (over 200,000 dwt per ship) which transport crude oil, including the three bareboat chartered-in VLCCs expected to be delivered in each of the fourth quarter of 2020, and the first and second quarters of 2021, ten Long Range 1 (“LR1”) product tankers (60,000-85,000 dwt per ship), 18 Medium Range 2 (“MR2”) product tankers (47,000-52,000 dwt per ship), three Medium Range one (“MR1”) product tankers (35,000-45,000 dwt per ship) and two chemical tankers (25,000 dwt per ship), which transport refined petroleum products and bulk liquid chemicals. All of our vessels are currently chartered-out to quality counterparties with an average remaining charter period of approximately one year. As of May 8, 2020, we had charters covering 83.4% of available days for the remaining nine months period of 2020 and 27.7% of available days in 2021.

Charter Policy and Industry Outlook

Our core fleet currently consists of 46 vessels, of which 13 are VLCCs (including three bareboat chartered-in VLCCs expected to be delivered in each of the fourth quarter of 2020, and the first and the second quarters of 2021, respecively), 31 are product tankers, and two are chemical tankers. All of our vessels are currently chartered-out to quality counterparties with an average remaining charter period of approximately one year. Many of our contracts have profit sharing arrangements (see fleet table above). While all of our vessels are currently chartered-out, we intend to deploy any vessels that would become open—not chartered-out—to leading charterers in a mix of long, medium and short-term time charters, depending on the vessels’ positions, seasonality and market outlook. This chartering strategy is intended to allow us to capture increased profits during strong charter markets, while developing relatively stable cash flows from longer-term time charters. We will also seek profit sharing arrangements in our employment contracts, to provide us with potential incremental revenue above the contracted minimum charter rates.

Using Navios Tankers Management Inc.’s (the “Manager”) 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 Manager’s 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:

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

Voyage, Time Charter and Pooling Arrangements

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:

5

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.

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 the points awarded to each vessel in the pool based on the vessel’s age, design and other performance characteristics.

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 May 8, 2020, the average age of Navios Acquisition’s owned fleet is 8.9 years. But, as such fleet ages or if Navios Acquisition expands its fleet by acquiring previously owned and older vessels the cost per vessel would be expected to rise and, assuming all else, including rates, remains constant, vessel profitability would be expected to decrease.

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

Set forth below are selected historical and statistical data for Navios Acquisition for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 that the Company believes may be useful in better understanding the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

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

Period-over-Period Comparisons

The Three Month Period ended March 31, 2020 compared to the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2019

The following table presents consolidated revenue and expense information for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. This information was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income of Navios Acquisition for the respective periods.

Revenue: Revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 increased by $20.7 million, or 26.9%, to $97.9 million, as compared to $77.1 million for the same period of 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to an: (i) increase in revenue by $8.8 million due to the acquisition of five product tankers of Navios Europe I in December 2019; and (ii) increase in market rates during the three month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019; partially mitigated by the sale of three VLCCs in 2019. Available days of the fleet increased to 3,755 days for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to 3,683 days for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the acquisition of five product tankers of Navios Europe I in December 2019; partially mitigated by the sale of three VLCCs in 2019. The time charter equivalent rate, or TCE Rate, increased to $24,442 for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, from $19,643 for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 increased by $1.3 million, or 27.1%, to $6.1 million, as compared to $4.8 million for the same period of 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to a: (a) $1.2 million increase in bunkers consumption and voyage expenses related to the spot voyages incurred in the period; and (b) $0.1 million increase in brokers’commission.

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprised of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs, of certain vessels of our fleet amounted to $3.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $2.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

Management fees: Management fees amounted to $29.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $27.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. The increase was mainly as a result of the acquisition of five product tankers of Navios Europe I in December 2019. Please see Related Party Transactions for discussion on the management fees.

7

General and administrative expenses: Total general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $1.1 million to $4.0 million compared to $5.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, mainly due to the decrease in legal and professional fees. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the expenses charged by the Manager for for administrative services were $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization amounted to $16.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $17.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. 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 March 31, 2020 decreased by $2.2 million to $0 compared to $2.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

Interest expense and finance cost: Interest expense and finance cost for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $1.1 million to $21.8 million, as compared to $22.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of the weighted average interest rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 to 6.81% compared to 7.28% in the same period in 2019 and the decrease of the average outstanding balance. The average outstanding balance of our credit facilities (other than the 2021 Notes, as defined in “Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements – Ship Mortgage Notes”) decreased to $521.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $534.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the outstanding balance under Navios Acquisition’s total borrowings was $1,174 million and $1,216.6 million, respectively.

Gain on sale of vessel: The gain on sale of vessel for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $0 as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2019.

Impairment of receivable in affiliated company / Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies: Impairment of receivable in affiliated companies for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $13.9 million and related to the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in the Navios Acquisition’s receivable from Navios Europe II. Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 amounted to $0.8 million which related to income recognized for Navios Europe I and Navios Europe II.

Other income: Other income for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was $0. For the comparative period of 2019 other income was $1.3 million.

Other expense: Other expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was $1.6 million. For the comparative period of 2019 other expense was $0.4 million.

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, long-term borrowings and proceeds from asset sales. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Acquisition’s current assets totaled $106.4 million, while current liabilities totaled $222.3 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $115.9 million, related to balloon payments due under its credit facilities which are currenty under refinancing process. Navios Acquisition’s cash forecast indicates that it will generate sufficient cash for at least the next 12 months following May 11, 2020 to make the required principal and interest payments on its indebtedness and provide for the normal working capital requirements. Generally, our long-term sources of funds derive 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 obtaining 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.

In February 2018, the Board of Directors of Navios Acquisition authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $25.0 million of Navios Acquisition’s common stock, for two years. Stock repurchases were made from time to time for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases under the program were determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors. Repurchases were made pursuant to a program adopted under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The program did not require any minimum repurchase or any specific number or amount of shares of common stock and was suspended or reinstated at any time in Navios Acquisition’s discretion and without notice. Repurchases were subject to restrictions under Navios Acquisition’s credit facilities and indenture. Up to the expiration of the stock repurchase program in February 2020, Navios Acquisition had repurchased 735,251 shares since the program was initiated for approximately $7.5 million.

In October and November 2019 Navios Acquisition repurchased a total of $12.0 million of its 2021 Notes (as defined in “Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements – Ship Mortgage Notes”) from unaffiliated third parties in open market transactions for a cash consideration of $10.0 million.

In October 2019, Navios Acquisition completed a registered direct offering of 1,875,000 shares of its common stock at $8.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $15.0 million. Total net proceeds of the above transactions, net of agents’ costs of $0.7 million and offering costs $0.9 million, amounted to $13.4 million.

On November 29, 2019, Navios Acquisition entered into a Continuous Offering Program Sales Agreement for the issuance and sale from time to time shares of Navios Acquisition’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. The sales were being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement as part of a shelf registration statement which was set to expire in December 2019. Navios Acquisition went effective on a new shelf registration statement which was declared effective on December 23, 2019. Accordingly, the Sales Agreement was entered into on December 23, 2019. As before, the Sales Agreement contains, among other things, customary representations, warranties and covenants by Navios Acquisition and indemnification obligations of the parties thereto as well as certain termination rights for such parties. As of May 8, 2020, since the commencement of the program, Navios Acquisition has issued 426,628 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $2.8 million.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2019:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $20.6 million to $30.5 million for the period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $9.9 million for the period ended March 31, 2019. The increase is analyzed as follows:

The net income for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0.9 million. In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, the net income was adjusted for the effect of depreciation and amortization of $16.6 million, $13.9 million impairment of receivable in affiliated company, $2.9 million for the amortization of drydock and special survey costs, $1.5 million for amortization and write-off of deferred finance fees and bond premium, and $0.1 million for stock based compensation.

9

The net cash inflow resulting from the change in operating assets, liabilities and payments for drydock and special survey costs of $5.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 mainly resulted from an $11.7 million increase in accrued expenses, an $11.6 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $2.0 million increase in deferred revenue, a $1.2 million decrease in inventories and a $1.2 million decrease in prepaid expenses. These were partially offset by a $14.9 million payment for drydock and special survey costs, a $13.7 million decrease in the balance due to related parties and a $4.4 million decrease in accounts payable.

In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, the net income was adjusted for the effect of depreciation and amortization of $17.7 million, $2.3 million for the amortization of drydock and special survey costs, $1.0 million for amortization and write-off of deferred finance fees and bond premium, $0.8 million for equity in net earnings of affiliated companies, net of dividends received, $0.7 million for gain on sale of vessels, and $0.2 million for stock based compensation.

The net cash inflow resulting from the change in operating assets, liabilities and payments for drydock and special survey costs of $10.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 mainly resulted from a $13.2 million increase in accrued expenses, a $4.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $3.9 million decrease in prepaid expenses, a $2.0 million decrease in the balance due from related parties, long-term, and a $0.7 million increase in deferred revenue. These were partially offset by an $18.2 million increase in the balance due from related parties, short-term, a $12.0 million decrease in the balance due to related parties, short-term, a $4.4 million decrease in accounts payable, and a $0.1 million payment for drydock and special survey costs.

Cash (used in)/ provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2019:

Net cash (used in)/ provided by investing activities decreased by $23.4 million to $5.9 million outflow for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 from $17.5 million inflow for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, resulted from $5.9 million from vessels improvements.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, resulted from $21.4 million net proceeds from sale of vessel; partially mitigated by: (i) $2.0 million from loans to affiliates; and (ii) $1.9 million from vessels improvements.

Cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2019:

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $11.6 million to $17.6 million at March 31, 2020 from $6.0 million at March 31, 2019.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 resulted from: (i) $13.2 million of loan repayments; and (ii) $4.8 million of dividends paid; and was partially mitigated by $0.3 million in equity offering proceeds, net of deferred finance fees.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 resulted from: (i) $40.6 million of loan repayments; (ii) $4.1 million of dividends paid; and (iii) $0.4 million for acquisition of treasury stock; and was partially mitigated by $39.1 million in loan proceeds, net of deferred finance fees.

EBITDA in this document represents net income/ (loss) before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization and before income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA in this document represents EBITDA excluding certain items, such as stock-based compensation, gain on sale of vessels, gain/ (loss) on debt repayment and OTTI loss on equity investment.

We use Adjusted EBITDA as liquidity measure and reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA in this document is calculated as follows: net cash provided by 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 in operating liabilities; (iii) net interest cost; (iv) amortization and write-off of deferred finance costs and bond premium; (v) impairment of receivable in Navios Europe II / Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; (vi) payments for dry dock and special survey costs; (vii) gain on sale of vessel; and (viii) stock- based compensation. Navios Acquisition believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are each 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are 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.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an 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) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Acquisition’s performance. Furthermore, our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Adjusted EBITDA affected by the items described in the table above, for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 increased by $15.0 million to $56.2 million, as compared to $41.2 million for the same period of 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $20.7 million increase in revenue; and (b) $1.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation); partially mitigated by a: (i) $2.6 million increase in other (expense)/ income, net; (ii) $1.9 million increase in management fees mainly due to the acquisition of the five product tankers of Navios Europe I in December 2019 and to the amendment of the fees under the management agreement, partially mitigated by the sale of three VLCCs in 2019; (iii) $1.3 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; (iv) $0.8 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; and (v) $0.2 million increase in direct vessel expenses (other than amortization of dry dock and special survey cost).

Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements

Ship Mortgage Notes

8 1/8% First Priority Ship Mortgages: On November 13, 2013, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Navios Acquisition Finance (US) Inc. (“Navios Acquisition Finance” and together with the Company, the “2021 Co-Issuers”) issued $610.0 million in first priority ship mortgage notes (the “Existing Notes”) due on November 15, 2021 at a fixed rate of 8.125%.

On March 31, 2014, the Company completed a sale of $60.0 million of its first priority ship mortgage notes due in 2021 (the “Additional Notes,” and together with the Existing Notes, the “2021 Notes”). The terms of the Additional Notes are identical to the Existing Notes and were issued at 103.25% plus accrued interest from November 13, 2013.

The 2021 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all of Navios Acquisition’s subsidiaries with the exception of Navios Acquisition Finance (a co-issuer of the 2021 Notes) and the exception of Navios Midstream subsidiaries.

The 2021 Co-Issuers currently have the option to redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part, at a fixed price of 106.094% of the principal amount, which price declines ratably until it reaches par in 2019, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the holders of the 2021 Notes will have the right to require the 2021 Co-Issuers to repurchase some or all of the 2021 Notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

The 2021 Notes contain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, issuance of certain preferred stock, the payment of dividends, redemption or repurchase of capital stock or making restricted payments and investments, creation of certain liens, transfer or sale of assets, entering in transactions with affiliates, merging or consolidating or selling all or substantially all of the 2021 Co-Issuers’ properties and assets and creation or designation of restricted subsidiaries.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, Navios Acquisition repurchased $12.0 million of its ship mortgage notes for a cash consideration of $10.0 million resulting in a gain on bond repurchase of $1.9 million net of deferred fees written-off.

Following the acquisition of the Star N and the Hector N MR1 product tankers from Navios Europe I, the vessels were offered as collateral under its ship mortgage notes, in substitution of an amount of $25.4 million that was held as cash collateral from the sale proceeds of the Nave Electron.

The 2021 Co-Issuers were in compliance with the covenants as of March 31, 2020.

The Existing Notes and the Additional Notes are treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and other offers to purchase and the Additional Notes rank evenly with the Existing Notes. The Additional Notes and the Existing Notes have different CUSIP numbers.

Guarantees

The Company’s 2021 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all of the Company’s subsidiaries with the exception of Navios Acquisition Finance (a co-issuer of the 2021 Notes) and the exception of Navios Midstream subsidiaries. The Company’s 2021 Notes are unregistered. The guarantees of our subsidiaries that own mortgaged vessels are senior secured guarantees and the guarantees of our subsidiaries that do not own mortgaged vessels are senior unsecured guarantees. All subsidiaries, including Navios Acquisition Finance and Navios Midstream subsidiaries are 100% owned. Navios Acquisition does not have any independent assets or operations.

In such a case, the buyer-lessor does not obtain control of the vessel and under ASC 842-40, the transaction was determined to be a failed sale. Navios Acquisition is obligated to make 60 consecutive monthly payments of approximately $0.2 million, commencing as of August 2019.

The agreements mature in September 2023 and September 2026 and bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 350 bps to 360 per annum, depending on the vessel financed.

Balance due from Navios Europe II: Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners have made available to Navios Europe II revolving loans up to $43.5 million to fund working capital requirements. In March 2017, the availability under the Navios Revolving Loans II was increased by $14.0 million.

16

The decline in the fair value of the investment was considered as other-than-temporary and, therefore, an aggregate loss of $13.9 million was recognized and included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as “Impairment of investment in affiliated company/ Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies.” The fair value of the Company’s investment was determined based on the liquidation value of Navios Europe II, determined on the individual fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities of Navios Europe II. The fair value of the investment in Navios Europe II is considered to be determined through Level 3 inputs of fair value hierarchy.

On April 21, 2020, Navios Europe II agreed with the lender to fully release the liabilities under the junior participating loan facility for $5.0 million. Navios Europe II owns seven container vessels and seven dry bulk vessels. The structure is expected to be liquidated during the second quarter of 2020 and Navios Acquisition expects to receive cash and steel value. The Company’s Board of Directors formed a Special Committee of independent and disinterested directors to consider and approve the liquidation. Vessels to be acquired will be held for sale.

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 income.

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2020, Navios Acquisition had a total of $1,174.0 million in long-term and short-term indebtedness. Borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at rates based on a premium over LIBOR in U.S dollars except for the interest rate on the Existing Notes and the Additional Notes which is fixed. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk that our interest expense may increase if interest rates rise. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 6.81%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 by $1.3 million.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable. We closely monitor our exposure to customers for credit risk. We have policies in place to ensure that we trade with customers with an appropriate credit history. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, Navig8 Chemicals Shipping and Trading Co (“Navig8”) accounted for 32.0% of Navios Acquisition’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Navig8 and COSCO Shipping Tanker (Dalian) Co., Ltd. accounted for 34.6%, and 10.0%, 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 expenses in the current and foreseeable economic environment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 is optional and is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): “Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 provides that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). For Public business entities the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with an election to adopt early. The ASU requires only a one-step quantitative impairment test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. It eliminates Step 2 of the current two-step goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a more timely matter. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”. The amendments in this update clarify that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Navios Acquisition’s interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Navios Acquisition to make estimates in the application of 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 Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 6, 2020.

of common stock shares outstanding from approximately 142.9 million shares to approximately 9.5 million shares. No fractional shares of common stock were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold fractional shares of the Company’s common stock received a cash payment in lieu thereof. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock, conversion terms of preferred stock, options to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4C, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse split for all periods presented.

(ab) Recent accounting pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides guidance to alleviate the burden in accounting for reference rate reform by allowing certain expedients and exceptions in applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions impacted by reference rate reform. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 apply only to those transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. Adoption of the provisions of ASU 2020-04 is optional and is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): “Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 provides that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). For Public business entities the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with an election to adopt early. The ASU requires only a one-step quantitative impairment test, whereby a goodwill impairment loss will be measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. It eliminates Step 2 of the current two-step goodwill impairment test, under which a goodwill impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a more timely matter. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”. The amendments in this update clarify that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(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

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

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 consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its 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.

As of March 31, 2020, the entities included in these consolidated financial statements were:

(e) Revenue and Expense Recognition:

Revenue Recognition: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The guidance provides a unified model to determine how revenue is recognized. In doing so, the Company makes judgments including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation. Revenues are recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 will apply to both types of leases – capital (or finance) leases and operating leases. According to the new Accounting Standard, (a) 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 and (b) previous accounting standards for lessors will be updated to align certain requirements with the updates to lessee accounting standards and the revenue recognition accounting standards. ASU 2016 – 02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 Leases (“ASU 2018-10”). The amendments in ASU 2018-10 affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in ASU 2016-02. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of this Update, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842. In addition in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Topic 842 Leases (“ASU 2018-11). The improvements in ASU 2018-11 provide for (a) an optional new transition method for adoption that results in initial recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption and (b) a practical expedient for lessors, under certain circumstances, to combine the lease and non-lease components of revenues for presentation purposes.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

The Company has elected to early adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method which is consistent, with the approach the Company has elected under the new revenue standard, and elected to apply the additional optional transition method along with the following practical expedients: (i) a package of practical expedients which does not require the Company to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842; (ii) to account for non-lease components (primarily crew and maintenance services) of time charters as a single lease component as the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease components and associated lease component are the same, the lease components, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, and such non-lease components are not predominant components of the combined component. The Company has determined to recognize lease revenue as a combined single lease component for all time charters (operating leases) as the related lease component and non-lease component will have the same timing and pattern of the revenue recognition of the combined single lease component. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company. As a result of adoption, there was no cumulative impact to the Company’s retained earnings at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The Company’s contract revenues from time chartering and pooling arrangements are governed by ASU 2016-02 “Leases”, which the Company early adopted on January 1, 2018. Upon adoption of ASC 606 and ASC 842, the timing and recognition of earnings from the pool arrangements and time charter contracts to which the Company is party did not change from previous practice. The Company has determined to recognize lease revenue as a combined single lease component for all time charters (operating leases) as the related lease component and non-lease component will have the same timing and pattern of the revenue recognition of the combined single lease component. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company. As a result of the adoption of these standards, there was no effect on the Company’s opening retained earnings, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income.

In December 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842), “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors”: to clarify guidance for lessors on sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from lessees, certain lessor costs and recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and non-lease components. The Company has early adopted the standard effective January 1, 2018 and is using that date as the date of initial application. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from time chartering

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. Revenues from time chartering of vessels amounted to $59,265 and $49,684 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.The majority of revenue from time chartering is usually collected in advance.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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 are determined by the margins 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 as variable rate operating leases on the accrual basis and is recognized in the period in which the variability is resolved. The Company recognizes net pool revenue on a monthly and quarterly basis, when the vessel has participated in a pool during the period and the amount of pool revenue can be estimated reliably based on the pool report. The allocation of such net revenue may be subject to future adjustments by the pool however, such changes are not expected to be material. Revenue for vessels operating in pooling arrangements amounted to $22,676 and $18,986 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The majority of revenue from pooling arrangements is usually collected through the month they are incurred.

Revenue from voyage contracts

The Company’s revenues earned under voyage contracts (revenues for the transportation of cargo) were previously recognized ratably over the estimated relative transit time of each voyage. A voyage was deemed to commence when a vessel was available for loading and was deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the current cargo. 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. Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue ratably from port of loading to when the charterer’s cargo is discharged as well as defer costs that meet the definition of “costs to fulfill a contract” and relate directly to the contract. Revenues earned under voyage contracts amounted to $9,759 and $6,136 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capitalized costs as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 related to costs to fulfill the contract amounted to $0 and $103, respectively, and are included under caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”. Accounts receivable, net, as of March 31, 2020 that related to voyage contracts was $2,515 (December 31, 2019: $12,219). The majority of revenue from voyage contracts is usually collected after the discharging takes place.

Revenue from profit sharing

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. Profit sharing for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $6,157 and $2,730, respectively.

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.

Options to extend or terminate a lease

The Company’s vessels have the following options to extent or renew their charters:

Short-term deposits and highly liquid funds relate to amounts held in banks for general financing purposes and represent deposits with an original maturity of less than three months.

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. The Company does maintain cash deposits and equivalents in excess of government-provided insurance limits. The Company also minimizes exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Restricted cash includes amounts held in retention accounts in order to service debt and interest payments, as required by certain of Navios Acquisition’s credit facilities.

2020

In the first quarter of 2020, certain extraordinary fees and costs related to vessels’ regulatory requirements, including ballast water treatment system installation and exhaust gas cleaning system installation, amounted to $2,496 (see Note 12 — Transactions with related parties).

2019

As of December 31, 2019, certain extraordinary fees and costs related to vessels’ regulatory requirements, including ballast water treatment system installation and exhaust gas cleaning system installation, amounted to $18,207 (see Note 12 — Transactions with related parties).

During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Navios Acquisition acquired five product tankers, two LR1 product tankers and three MR1 product tankers for an acquisition cost of approximately $84,430 in total, following the Liquidation of Navios Europe I, through bank financing of $32,500 and $33,210 receivables (Please refer to Note 7 – Investments in Affiliates).

For each of the vessels purchased from Navios Europe I, the acquisition of all vessels was effected through the acquisition of all of the capital stock of the respective vessel-owning companies, which held the ownership and other contractual rights and obligations related to each of the acquired vessels, including the respective charter-out contracts. Management accounted for each acquisition as an asset acquisition under ASC 805. At the transaction date, the purchase price approximated the fair value of the assets acquired, which was determined based on a combination of methodologies including discounted cash flow analyses and independent valuation analyses.

Disposals of vessels

2019

On March 25, 2019, Navios Acquisition sold the C. Dream, a 2000-built VLCC vessel of 298,570 dwt to an unaffiliated third party for a sale price of $21,750. The gain on sale of the vessel amounted to $651, which is included in “(Loss)/ gain on sale of vessels and Impairment loss”.

On May 10, 2019, following a collision incident, Navios Acquisition sold the Shinyo Ocean, a 2001-built VLCC vessel of 281,395 dwt to an unaffiliated third party for a sale price of $12,525.

On October 8, 2019, Navios Acquisition sold the Nave Electron, a 2002-built VLCC vessel of 305,178 dwt to an unaffiliated third party for a sale price of $25,250.

Impairment loss

2019

During the year ended December 31, 2019 and as a result of the impairment review performed, it was determined that the carrying amount of one tanker was not recoverable and, therefore, an impairment loss of $7,287 was recognized.

NOTE 6: INTANGIBLE ASSETS OTHER THAN GOODWILL

On December 13, 2018, Navios Acquisition acquired, as part of the Merger, at fair value, the intangible assets of Navios Midstream, consisting of favorable lease terms.

Intangible assets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $0.

On September 25, 2019, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control added, amongst others, COSCO Shipping Tanker (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (“COSCO Dalian”) to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list after being determined by the State Department to meet the criteria for the imposition of sanctions under Executive Order 13846. The Company had two VLCCs chartered to COSCO Dalian, the Nave Constellation (ex. Shinyo Saowalak) and the Nave Universe (ex. Shinyo Kieran), through June 18, 2025 and June 8, 2026, respectively, each at a net rate of $48,153 per day, with profit sharing above $54,388. Subsequent to September 30, 2019 both charter contracts have been terminated and the two vessels are now employed in the open market.

COSCO Dalian was removed from the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list on January 31, 2020.

NOTE 7: 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

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)

Term Loans I, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners agreed to make available to Navios Europe I revolving loans up to $24,100 to fund working capital requirements (collectively, the “Navios Revolving Loans I”). In December 2018, the availability under the Revolving Loans I was increased by $30,000. Effective November 2014 and through the Liquidation completed in December 2019, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners had a voting interest of 50%, 50% and 0%, respectively.

On an ongoing basis, Navios Europe I was 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.

Following the Liquidation of Navios Europe I, Navios Acquisition acquired five vessel owning companies for an acquisition cost of approximately $84,627 in total.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and subsequent to the Liquidation of Navios Europe I, the Company had no exposure.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 income recognized in “Impairment of receivable in affiliated company / Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies” was $0 and $286, respectively.

Navios Europe II

On February 18, 2015, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners established Navios Europe II Inc. and had in such entity economic interests of 47.5%, 47.5% and 5.0%, respectively, and voting interests of 50.0%, 50.0% and 0%, respectively. From June 8, 2015 through December 31, 2015, Navios Europe II acquired fourteen vessels for: (i) cash consideration of $145,550 (which was funded with the proceeds of $131,550 of senior loan facilities (the “Senior Loans II”) and loans aggregating $14,000 from Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners (collectively, the “Navios Term Loans II”); and (ii) the assumption of a junior participating loan facility (the “Junior Loan II”) with a face amount of $182,150 and fair value of $99,147. In addition to the Navios Term Loans II, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners will also make available to Navios Europe II revolving loans up to $57,500 to fund working capital requirements (collectively, the “Navios Revolving Loans II”). On April 21, 2020, Navios Europe II agreed with the lender to fully release the liabilities under the junior participating loan facility for $5,000. The structure is expected to be liquidated during the second quarter of 2020 and Navios Acquisition expects to receive cash and steel value. The Company’s Board of Directors formed a Special Committee of independent and disinterested directors to consider and approve the liquidation.

On an ongoing basis, Navios Europe II is required to distribute cash flows (after payment of operating expenses, amounts due pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loans and repayments of the Navios Revolving Loans II) according to a defined waterfall calculation.

The Navios Term Loans II will be repaid from the future sale of vessels owned by Navios Europe II and is deemed to be the initial investment by Navios Acquisition. Navios Acquisition evaluated its investment in Navios Europe II under ASC 810 and concluded that Navios Europe II is a VIE and that the Company is not the party most closely associated with Navios Europe II and, accordingly, is not the primary beneficiary of Navios Europe II.

Navios Acquisition further evaluated its investment in the common stock of Navios Europe II under ASC 323 and concluded that it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Navios Europe II and, therefore, its investment in Navios Europe II is accounted for under the equity method.

As of March 31, 2020, the estimated maximum potential loss by Navios Acquisition in Navios Europe II would have been $37,658 (December 31, 2019: $51,558), which represented the Company’s carrying value of the investment of $0 (December 31, 2019: $6,650), the Company’s balance of the Navios Revolving Loans II including accrued interest on the Navios Term Loans II of $20,970 (December 31, 2019: $28,220), which is included under “Due from related parties, long-term”, and the accrued interest income on the Navios Revolving Loans II in the amount of $16,688 (December 31, 2019: $16,688), which is included under “Due from related parties, short-term”. Refer to Note 12 for the terms of the Navios Revolving Loans II.

The decline in the fair value of the investment was considered as other-than-temporary and, therefore, an aggregate loss of $13,900 was recognized and included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as
