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, 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”).
This Report contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future events and expectations, including with respect to Navios Acquisition’s future dividends, expected cash flow generation and Navios Acquisition’s growth strategy and measures to implement such strategy; including expected vessel acquisitions and entering into further employment contracts. Words such as “may,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “hopes,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include comments regarding expected revenue and 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. 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, global and regional economic and political conditions including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts throughout the world to contain its spread, including effects on global economic activity, demand for seaborne transportation of the products we ship, the ability and willingness of charterers to fulfill their obligations to us and prevailing charter rates, shipyards performing scrubber installations, drydocking and repairs, changing vessel crews and availability of financing, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, diseases, pandemics, political events, piracy or acts by terrorists, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing efforts throughout the world to contain it, the creditworthiness of our charterers and the ability of our contract counterparties to fulfill their obligations to us, tanker industry trends, including charter rates and vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand, the aging of our vessels and resultant increases in operation and dry docking costs, the loss of any customer or charter or vessel, our ability to repay outstanding indebtedness, to obtain additional financing and to obtain replacement charters for our vessels, in each case, at commercially acceptable rates or at all, increases in costs and expenses, including but not limited to: crew wages, insurance, provisions, port expenses, lube oil, bunkers, repairs, maintenance and general and administrative expenses, the expected cost of, and our ability to comply with, governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards, as well as standard regulations imposed by our charterers applicable to our business, potential liability from litigation and our vessel operations, including discharge of pollutants, general domestic and international political conditions, competitive factors in the market in which Navios Acquisition operates; risks associated with operations outside the United States; and other factors listed from time to time in the Navios Acquisition’s filings with the SEC, including its annual and interim reports filed on Form 20-F and Form 6-K. Navios Acquisition expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Navios Acquisition’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. Navios Acquisition makes no prediction or statement about the performance of its common stock.

Recent Developments
Delivery of one VLCC
On October 28, 2020, a newbuilding VLCC of 313,433 dwt under bareboat lease, the Baghdad, was delivered from a Japanese shipyard.
The vessel has been chartered out to a high-quality counterparty for a ten-year period at a bareboat rate of $27,816 net per day. The charter party has an option for an additional five-year period at a bareboat rate of $29,751 net per day.
Dividend
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the third quarter of 2020 of $0.05 per share of common stock which will be paid on February 10, 2021 to stockholders of record as of January 12, 2021. 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.
Debt developments
During the third quarter of 2020 and up to December 2, 2020, Navios Acquisition repurchased $55.4 million of its ship mortgage notes for a cash consideration of $39.4 million.
In October 2020, Navios Acquisition extended the maturity date to February 2021 of its existing loan with a commercial bank, having an outstanding amount of $17.6 million.
In October 2020, Navios Acquisition extended the maturity date to October 2024 of its existing loan with a commercial bank, having an outstanding amount of $28.4 million. The remaining balance of the facility is repayable in 16 quarterly installments of $0.8 million each with a final balloon payment of $14.9 million repayable on the last repayment date.
In November 2020, Navios Acquisition arranged financing with a commercial bank of up to $95.8 million in order to refinance one VLCC, two chemical tankers and seven containerships, subject to the refinancing of its ship mortgage notes and to definitive documentation. The facility is repayable through a period of two to four years, in consecutive quarterly installments of up to $1.5 million each, with a balloon payment of up to $62.7 million in total. The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 400 bps per annum.
Continuous Offering Program

Charter Policy and Industry Outlook
Our core fleet currently consists of 47 vessels, of which 14 are VLCCs (including one bareboat chartered-in VLCC that has been delivered on October 28, 2020 and three bareboat chartered-in VLCCs expected to be delivered in each of the first and the third quarters of 2021 and the second quarter of 2022), 31 are product tankers, and two are chemical tankers. Navios Acquisition also owns seven containerships that are accounted for as held for sale. 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
5
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:
| • |
the demand for seaborne transportation services; |
| • |
the ability of Manager’s 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; |
| • |
the Manager’s 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; |
| • |
the level of any dividend to our stockholders; and |
| • |
the recent global outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) or other epidemics or pandemics. |
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:
| • |
the duration of the charters; |
| • |
the level of spot market rates at the time of charters; |
| • |
decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals; |
| • |
the amount of time spent positioning vessels; |
| • |
the amount of time that vessels spend in dry dock undergoing repairs and upgrades; |
| • |
the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and |
| • |
the aggregate level of supply and demand in the tanker shipping industry. |
Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to long-term which may be many years. In general, a long-term time charter assures the vessel owner of a consistent stream of revenue. Operating the vessel in the spot market affords the owner greater spot market opportunity, which may result in high rates when vessels are in high demand or low rates when vessel availability exceeds demand. Vessel charter rates are affected by world economics, international events, weather conditions, strikes, governmental policies, supply and demand, and many other factors that might be beyond the control of management.
6
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 December 2, 2020, the average age of Navios Acquisition’s owned fleet was 9.3 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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 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:
| (1) |
Available days: Available days for the fleet are total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Acquisition’s possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydocking or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. |
| (2) |
Operating days: Operating days are the number of available days in the relevant period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. |
| (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. |
| (4) |
TCE Rate: Time charter equivalent rate per day is defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period. The TCE Rate per day is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels of various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet. |

Revenue: Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2020 increased by $19.8 million, or 33.6%, to $78.8 million, as compared to $59.0 million for the same period of 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to an: (i) increase in revenue by $6.0 million due to the acquisition of five product tankers from Navios Europe I in December 2019 and by $5.2 million due to the acquisition of seven containers from Navios Europe II in June 2020; and (ii) increase in market rates during the three month period ended September 30, 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 4,520 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 3,491 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2019, due to the reasons mentioned above. The time charter equivalent rate, or TCE Rate, increased to $16,870 for the three month period ended September 30, 2020, from $15,349 for the three month period ended September 30, 2019.
Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $2.8 million, or 51.9%, to $2.6 million, as compared to $5.4 million for the same period of 2019. The decrease was mainly attributable to a $3.1 million decrease in bunkers consumption and voyage expenses related to the spot voyages incurred in the period; partially mitigated by a $0.3 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 $3.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $2.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2019.
Vessel operating expenses (management fees): Vessel operating expenses amounted to $34.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $26.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2019. The increase was mainly as a result of the acquisition of five product tankers of Navios Europe I in December 2019 and seven containers of Navios Europe II in June 2020; partially mitigated by the sale of three VLCCs in 2019. Please see Related Party Transactions for discussion on the vessel operating expenses (management fees).
General and administrative expenses: Total general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2020 increased by $1.0 million to $4.7 million compared to $3.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2019, mainly as a result of the acquisition of five product tankers from Navios Europe I in December 2019 and seven containers from Navios Europe II in June 2020; partially mitigated by the sale of three VLCCs in 2019. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the expenses charged by the Manager for administrative services were $3.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

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 September 30, 2020, Navios Acquisition’s current assets totaled $174.4 million, while current liabilities totaled $170.0 million, resulting in a positive working capital position of $4.4 million. Navios Acquisition’s cash forecast indicates that it will generate sufficient cash for at least the next 12 months following December 4, 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 the fourth quarter of 2019, Navios Acquisition repurchased $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. During the third quarter of 2020 and up to December 2, 2020, Navios Acquisition repurchased $55.4 million of its ship mortgage notes for a cash consideration of $39.4 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. An amended 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 December 2, 2020, since the commencement of the program, Navios Acquisition has issued 956,110 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $5.3 million.

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2019:
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $64.9 million to $86.0 million for the period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $21.1 million for the period ended September 30, 2019. The increase is analyzed as follows:
The net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 was $35.1 million compared to net loss of $72.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019. In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, the net income was adjusted for the effect of depreciation and amortization of $49.9 million, $13.9 million impairment of receivable in affiliated company, $9.8 million for the amortization of drydock and special survey costs, $7.0 million for gain on debt repurchase, $4.4 million for amortization and write-off of deferred finance fees and bond premium and $0.4 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 $20.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 mainly resulted from a $5.3 million increase in deferred revenue, a $20.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $3.9 million decrease in prepaid expense, a $0.6 million decrease in inventories and an $11.5 million increase in accrued expenses. These were partially offset by a $30.9 million payment for drydock and special survey costs, a $20.1 million decrease in the balance due to related parties short-term, an $8.0 million decrease in accounts payable, a $0.6 million increase in other long term assets and a $2.4 million increase in the balance due from related parties, short- term.
In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, the net loss was adjusted for the effect of depreciation and amortization of $52.3 million, $36.7 million for gain on sale of vessels and impairment loss, $7.1 million for the amortization of drydock and special survey costs, $3.3 million for amortization and write-off of deferred finance fees and bond premium, $2.7 million for equity in net earnings of affiliated companies, net of dividends received and $0.7 million for stock based compensation.
The net cash outflow resulting from the change in operating assets, liabilities and payments for drydock and special survey costs of $4.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 mainly resulted from a $6.4 million increase in the balance due from related parties, short-term, a $17.1 million decrease in the balance due to related parties, a $6.8 million payment for drydock and special survey costs, a $1.7 million decrease in deferred revenue and a $0.7 million decrease in accounts payable. These were partially offset by a $12.0 million increase in accrued expenses, an $11.9 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $2.9 million decrease in the balance due from related parties, long-term and a $1.6 million decrease in prepaid expenses.
Cash (used in)/ provided by investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2019:
Net cash (used in)/ provided by investing activities decreased by $77.7 million to $46.4 million outflow for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 from $31.3 million inflow for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, resulted from $46.4 million from the acquisition of seven containers from Navios Europe II in June 2020 and vessels improvements.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, resulted from $46.4 million net proceeds from sale of vessel; partially mitigated by: (i) $13.1 million from vessels additions; and (ii) $2.0 million from loans to affiliates.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 resulted from: (a) $144.8 million of loan repayments; and (b) $14.5 million of dividends paid; and was partially mitigated by: (i) $132.8 million loan proceeds, net of deferred finance costs; and (ii) $3.0 million in equity offering proceeds.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 resulted from the receipt of $156.6 million in loan proceeds, net of deferred finance costs, which was partially offset by: the use of (i) $144.1 million of loan repayments; (ii) $8.2 million of dividends paid; and (iii) $0.4 million for acquisition of treasury stock.

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 other than temporary investment 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 September 30, 2020 increased by $13.2 million to $37.1 million, as compared to $23.9 million for the same period of 2019.

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 Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. (“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 declined ratably until it reached 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.

The Additional Notes and the Existing Notes have different CUSIP numbers.
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.
The Company intends to engage in discussions with holders of the 2021 Notes and other prospective investors with respect to a potential refinancing of the 2021 Notes with new, later maturing senior secured notes (the “New Secured Notes”). The New Secured Notes would be expected to be secured by the same collateral that secures the 2021 Notes and may also include additional collateral that may be available, including guarantees and equity pledges of currently unrestricted subsidiaries. The terms of the New Secured Notes would be based on the 2021 Notes, but may include additional provisions, including provisions that may restrict the Company’s reinvestment of excess cash flow, subject to certain conditions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance the 2021 Notes with the New Secured Notes, or at all.
This notice shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of 2021 Notes or New Secured Notes, in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

As of September 30, 2020, Navios Acquisition had a total of $1,140.2 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 September 30, 2020, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 6.21%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2020 by $1.4 million. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 6.48%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 by $4.0 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, 2020, Navig8 Chemicals Shipping and Trading Co (“Navig8”) accounted for 29.1%, China ZhenHua Oil Co., Ltd accounted for 12.6% and China Shipping Developement (Hong Kong) accounted for 10.3%, respectively, 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.
20
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. It is the Company’s policy to dispose of vessels and other fixed assets when suitable opportunities occur and not necessarily to keep them until the end of their useful life. The Company classifies assets and disposal groups as being held for sale when the following criteria are met: management has committed to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group); the asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) have been initiated; the sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Long-lived assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale.

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 contracts. 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”).
Navios Acquisition was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on March 14, 2008. On July 1, 2008, Navios Acquisition completed its initial public offering (“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.
On November 22, 2019, an agreement was reached to liquidate Navios Europe I. As a result of the liquidation, which was completed in December 2019 (“Liquidation of Navios Europe I”), Navios Acquisition acquired five vessel owning companies.
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 $15,000. Total net proceeds of the above transactions, net of agents’ costs of $675 and offering costs of $957, amounted to $13,368.
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 $25,000. 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, an updated Continuous Offering Program Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) was entered into on December 23, 2019. As before, the updated 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 September 30, 2020, since the program commencement Navios Acquisition has issued 910,564 shares of common stock having received net proceeds of $5,140.
On April 21, 2020, an agreement was reached to liquidate Navios Europe II. As a result of the liquidation, which was completed in June 2020 (“Liquidation of Navios Europe II”), Navios Acquisition acquired seven vessel owning companies. The vessels are containerships and meet the criteria to be accounted for as held for sale.
As of September 30, 2020, Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) had 29.5% of the voting power and 29.7% of the economic interest in Navios Acquisition.
As of September 30, 2020, Navios Acquisition had: 16,513,935 shares of common stock outstanding.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statement of changes in equity, statements of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Acquisition’s 2019 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share data)
(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. The company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on its 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. 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 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 Company’s 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.

(g) Assets Held for Sale/ Liabilities associated with Assets Held for Sale: It is the Company’s policy to dispose of vessels and other fixed assets when suitable opportunities occur and not necessarily to keep them until the end of their useful life. The Company classifies assets and groups of assets and liabilities that are intended to be sold (disposal groups) as being held for sale when the following criteria are met: management has committed to a plan to sell the asset or the disposal group; the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset or disposal group have been initiated; the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable, and transfer of the asset or disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the asset ordisposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Long-lived assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale.
(f) 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

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except share and per share data)
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.
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 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 crew, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel. Revenues from time chartering of vessels amounted to $69,418 and $38,785 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, revenues from time chartering of vessels amounted to $198,583 and $129,505, respectively. The majority of revenue from time chartering is usually collected in advance.

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 $7,891 and $13,898 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, revenue operating in pooling arrangements amounted to $47,249 and $46,494, 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 $0 and $6,479 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, revenues under voyage contracts amounted to $9,030 and $16,157, respectively. Capitalized costs as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2020 that related to voyage contracts was $8,592 (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 September 30, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $2,180 and $(197), respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, profit sharing revenues amounted to $34,024 and $2,513, 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.

Additions of vessels
2020
As of September 30, 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 $4,362 (see Note 13 — 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 13 — 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 8 – 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 “Gain on sale of vessels”.
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.

NOTE 7: ASSETS HELD FOR SALE / LIABILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Following the Liquidation of Navios Europe II (Note 8) on June 29, 2020, Navios Acquisition acquired seven vessel owning companies. For each of the vessels purchased from Navios Europe II, 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.
Upon acquisition of the vessel owning companies, the Company assessed that all the held for sale criteria were met for their assets, mainly consisting of the vessels owned and reviewed the carrying amount in connection with their fair market value less any costs to sell. The review indicated that such carrying amounts were not in excess of the fair value less any costs to sell and therefore, no loss was recorded for the six month period ended on June 30, 2020. On the transaction date the fair value of the vessels was determined based on a combination of methodologies including discounted cash flow analyses and independent valuation analyses. In addition, as of September 30, 2020 the container vessels have been re-measured to their fair value less cost to sell without having changes in their values leading to no impairment charge being recognized in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. On the re-measurement date the fair value of the vessels was determined based on independent valuation analyses.
Furthermore, liabilities associated with the assets held for sale are separately presented under “Liabilities associated with assets held for sale” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The major class of assets held for sale consist of the carrying value of the vessels amounting to $79,124. The major class of liabilities associated with assets held for sale, consist of their respective debt with a carrying amount of $36,700. Please refer to Note 11 “Borrowings”.

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 agreed to 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.
On an ongoing basis, Navios Europe II was 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.
As of September 30, 2020, and subsequent to the Liquidation of Navios Europe II, the Company had no exposure. As of December 31, 2019, the estimated maximum potential loss by Navios Acquisition in Navios Europe II was $51,558, which represented the Company’s carrying value of the investment of $6,650, the Company’s balance of the Navios Revolving Loans II including accrued interest on the Navios Term Loans II of $28,220, which was 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, which is included under “Due from related parties, short-term”. Refer to Note 13 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 as of March 31, 2020 and included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, as “Impairment of receivable 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.
For the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, income recognized in “Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies” was $0 and $625, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, income/loss recognized in “Impairment of receivable in affiliated company / Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies” was $13,900 and $1,775, respectively.

NOTE 15: COMMON STOCK
Common Stock and Puttable Common Stock
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. The program expired in February 2020. Upon the expiration, the Company had repurchased and cancelled 735,251 shares of common stock, at a total cost of approximately $7,493.
Equity Offering
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 $15,000. Total net proceeds of the above transactions, net of agents’ costs of $675 and offering costs of $957, amounted to $13,368.
Continuous Offering Program
On November 29, 2019, as further updated on December 23, 2019 to provide for Navios Acquisition’s replacement of its expiring universal shelf, 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 $25,000. 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, an updated Continuous Offering Program Sales Agreement (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 September 30, 2020, since the commencement of the program, Navios Acquisition has issued 910,564 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $5,140.
As of September 30, 2020, the Company was authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock of which 16,513,935 were issued and outstanding.

2018
In December 2018, Navios Acquisition authorized and issued in the aggregate 129,269 restricted shares of common stock to its directors and officers. These awards of restricted common stock are based on service conditions only and vest over four years.
The holders of restricted stock are entitled to dividends paid on the same schedule as paid to the stockholders of the company. The fair value of restricted stock is determined by reference to the quoted stock price on the date of grant of $5.36 per share (or total fair value of $693).
Compensation expense is recognized based on a graded expense model over the vesting period.
The effect of compensation expense arising from the stock-based arrangement described above was $47 and $91 for the three months periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and it is reflected in general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations. The recognized compensation expense for the year is presented as adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities on the statements of cash flows. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the effect of compensation expense arising from the stock-based arrangement described above amounted to $140 and $270, respectively.

NOTE 16: SEGMENT INFORMATION
Navios Acquisition reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues. Navios Acquisition does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results for each type of charter. As a result, management reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus Navios Acquisition has determined that it operates under one reportable segment.
The following table sets out operating revenue by geographic region for Navios Acquisition’s reportable segment. Revenue is allocated on the basis of the geographic region in which the customer is located. Tanker vessels operate worldwide. Revenues from specific geographic regions which contribute over 10% of total revenue are disclosed separately.

NOTE 18: INCOME TAXES
Marshall Islands, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong, do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of these countries, the countries of incorporation of the Company and its subsidiaries and /or vessels’ registration, the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in the daily management fee.
In accordance with the currently applicable Greek law, foreign flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies having established an office in Greece are subject to duties towards the Greek state which are calculated on the basis of the relevant vessels’ tonnage. The payment of said duties exhausts the tax liability of the foreign ship owning company and the relevant manager against any tax, duty, charge or contribution payable on income from the exploitation of the foreign flagged vessel. In case that tonnage tax and/or similar taxes/duties are paid to the vessel’s flag state, these are deducted from the amount of the duty to be paid in Greece.

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)
The amount included in Navios Acquisition’s statements of operations related to the Greek Tonnage tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019 was $601 and $639, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, it was $224 and $240, respectively.
Pursuant to Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States (the “Code”), U.S. source income from the international operation of ships is generally exempt from U.S. income tax if the company operating the ships meets certain incorporation and ownership requirements. Among other things, in order to qualify for this exemption, the company operating the ships must be incorporated in a country, which grants an equivalent exemption from income taxes to U.S. corporations. All the Navios Acquisition’s ship-operating subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria. In addition, these companies must meet an ownership test. Subject to proposed regulations becoming finalized in their current form, the management of Navios Acquisition believes by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company like Navios Acquisition, the second criterion can also be satisfied based on the trading volume and ownership of the Company’s shares, but no assurance can be given that this will remain so in the future.
NOTE 19: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the third quarter of 2020 of $0.05 per share of common stock which will be paid on February 10, 2021 to stockholders of record as of January 12, 2021. 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.
Subsequent to September 30, 2020, Navios Acquisition repurchased $36,400 of its ship mortgage notes for a cash consideration of $27,518.
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 $25,000. Subsequent to September 30, 2020, Navios Acquisition has issued 45,546 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $193.
On October 28, 2020, the Baghdad, a newbuilding VLCC of 313,433 dwt under bareboat lease, was delivered from a Japanese shipyard.
