REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Navios Maritime Holdings Inc.:
          In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in “Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting”, appearing in Item 15(b) of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
          A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
          Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NAVIOS MARITIME HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
          On August 25, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 28, 2005, as amended, by and among International Shipping Enterprises, Inc. (“ISE”), Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings” or the “Company”) and all the shareholders of Navios Holdings, ISE acquired Navios Holdings through the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Navios Holdings. As a result of this acquisition, Navios Holdings became a wholly owned subsidiary of ISE. In addition, on August 25, 2005, simultaneously with the acquisition of Navios Holdings, ISE effected a reincorporation from the State of Delaware to the Republic of the Marshall Islands through a downstream merger with and into its newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary, whose name was and continues to be Navios Maritime Holdings Inc.
Navios Logistics
          On January 1, 2008, pursuant to a share purchase agreement, Navios Holdings contributed (i) $112,200 in cash and (ii) the authorized capital stock of its wholly owned subsidiary Corporacion Navios Sociedad Anonima (“CNSA”) in exchange for the issuance and delivery of 12,765 shares of Navios South American Logistics Inc. (“Navios Logistics”), representing 63.8% (67.2% excluding contingent consideration) of its outstanding stock. Navios Logistics acquired all ownership interests in the Horamar Group (“Horamar”) in exchange for (i) $112,200 in cash, of which $5,000 was kept in escrow and payable upon the attainment of certain EBITDA targets during specified periods through December 2008 (the “EBITDA Adjustment”) and (ii) the issuance of 7,235 shares of Navios Logistics representing 36.2% (32.8% excluding contingent consideration) of Navios Logistics’ outstanding stock, of which 1,007 shares were kept in escrow pending attainment of certain EBITDA targets. In November 2008, $2,500 in cash and 503 shares were released from escrow when Horamar achieved the interim EBITDA target. As a result, Navios Holdings owned 65.5% (excluding 504 shares that remained in escrow as of such November 2008 date) of Navios Logistics.
          On March 20, 2009, August 19, 2009, and December 30, 2009, the agreement pursuant to which Navios Logistics acquired CNSA and Horamar was amended to postpone until June 30, 2010 the date for determining whether the EBITDA target was achieved. On June 17, 2010, $2,500 in cash and the 504 shares remaining in escrow were released from escrow upon the achievement of the EBITDA target threshold. Following the release of the remaining shares that were held in escrow, Navios Holdings currently owns 63.8% of Navios Logistics (see Note 3).
          Horamar was a privately held Argentina-based group specializing in the transportation and storage of liquid cargoes and the transportation of drybulk cargoes in South America along the Hidrovia river system. The cash contribution for the acquisition of Horamar was financed entirely by existing cash. Through the acquisition of Horamar, Navios Holdings formed Navios Logistics, an end-to-end logistics business and port terminal business through the combination of its existing port operations in Uruguay with the barge and upriver port businesses that specializes in the transportation and storage of liquid cargoes and the transportation of drybulk cargoes in South America.
          Navios Logistics is one of the largest logistics companies in the Hidrovia region of South America, serving the storage and marine transportation needs of its customers through its port terminal, river barge and coastal cabotage operations. Navios Logistics is focused on providing its customers integrated transportation, storage and related services through its port facilities, its large, versatile fleet of dry and liquid cargo barges and its product tankers, to serve the needs of a number of rapidly growing South American industries, including mineral and grain commodity providers as well as users of refined petroleum products.
          Navios Logistics is focused on two key transportation markets in South America: the Hidrovia region river system and cabotage trades along the eastern coast of South America. The Hidrovia represents an economically dynamic system of ports, terminals and waterways that flow through five countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) and facilitate trade in this fertile and resource-rich region while providing access to the Atlantic Ocean and the global export market. The Hidrovia is one of the largest navigable river systems in the world, comparable in length to the Mississippi River in the United States. The Hidrovia river system and seaborne trade up and down the South American coast are efficient means of commodity transportation, given the current shortage of adequate highway and rail infrastructure.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
Navios Acquisition
          On July 1, 2008, the Company completed the initial public offering, or the IPO, of its subsidiary, Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition”) (NYSE: NNA), a blank check company. In the offering, Navios Acquisition sold 25,300,000 units for an aggregate purchase price of $253,000. Simultaneously with the completion of the IPO, the Company purchased private placement warrants of Navios Acquisition for an aggregate purchase price of $7,600 (“Private Placement Warrants”). Prior to the IPO, Navios Holdings had purchased 8,625,000 units (“Sponsor Units”) for a total consideration of $25, of which an aggregate of 290,000 units were transferred to the Company’s officers and directors and an aggregate of 2,300,000 Sponsor Units were returned to Navios Acquisition and cancelled upon receipt. Each unit consisted of one share of Navios Acquisition’s common stock and one warrant (“Sponsor Warrants,” together with the “Private Placement Warrants,” the “Navios Acquisition Warrants”). Navios Acquisition, at the time, was not a controlled subsidiary of the Company but was accounted for under the equity method due to the Company’s significant influence over Navios Acquisition.
          On April 8, 2010, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement by and between Navios Acquisition and Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition agreed to acquire 13 vessels (11 product tankers and two chemical tankers) plus options to purchase two additional product tankers, for an aggregate purchase price of $457,659. Each vessel is commercially and technically managed under a management agreement with a subsidiary of Navios Holdings.
          On May 25, 2010, after its special meeting of stockholders, Navios Acquisition announced the approval of (a) the acquisition of 13 vessels (11 product tankers and two chemical tankers) (the “Initial Acquisition”) for an aggregate purchase price of $457,659, of which $123,359 was to be from existing cash and the $334,300 balance from debt financing pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement by and between Navios Acquisition and Navios Holdings and (b) certain amendments to Navios Acquisition’s amended and restated articles of incorporation.
          Following the consummation of the transactions described in the Acquisition Agreement, Navios Holdings was released from all debt and equity commitments for the above vessels and Navios Acquisition reimbursed Navios Holdings for equity payments made prior to the stockholders’ meeting under the purchase contracts for the vessels, plus all associated payments previously made by Navios Holdings amounting to $76,485.
          Navios Holdings has purchased 6,337,551 shares of Navios Acquisition’s common stock for $63,230 in open market purchases. Moreover, on May 28, 2010, certain shareholders of Navios Acquisition redeemed 10,021,399 shares upon de-“SPAC”-ing. As of May 28, 2010, following these transactions, Navios Holdings owned 12,372,551 shares, or 57.3%, of the outstanding common stock of Navios Acquisition. At that point, Navios Holdings acquired control over Navios Acquisition, and consequently concluded a business combination had occurred and consolidated the results of Navios Acquisition from that date onwards.
          Upon obtaining control of Navios Acquisition, the investment in shares of common stock and the investment in warrants were remeasured to fair value resulting in a gain of $17,742 recorded in the statements of income under “Gain on change in control” and a gain of $5.9 million recorded in the statement of income under “Gain on derivatives”, respectively. Noncontrolling interest was recognized at fair value, being the number of shares not controlled by the Company at the public share price as of May 28, 2010 of $6.56, amounting to $60,556. Goodwill amounting to $13,143 was recognized representing the residual of Navios Holdings’ investment amounting to $95,232, the recognition of noncontrolling interest of $60,556 less the fair value of Navios Acquisition’s net assets amounting to $142,645 on May 28, 2010. For the assets and liabilities of Navios Acquisition, at fair value, as of May 28, 2010, see Note 3.
          Navios Acquisition is an owner and operator of tanker vessels focusing in the transportation of petroleum products (clean and dirty) and bulk liquid chemicals.

NAVIOS MARITIME HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(a)   Basis of presentation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). Where necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.
 
(b)   Change in accounting policy: In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards for Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, according to which accounting and reporting for noncontrolling interests will be characterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This Statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for profit organizations, but affects only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that consolidate a subsidiary that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest. The guidance was effective for Navios Holdings as of January 1, 2009 and as a result the Company has adopted the presentation of noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of cash flows, consolidated statement of changes in equity and Note 23.
 
(c)   Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navios Holdings and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated statements.
 
    The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities as defined in the accounting guidance, if it determines that it is the primary beneficiary. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.
Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights 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. 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.
Investments in Affiliates and Joint Ventures: 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 which it does not exercise control. Joint ventures are entities over which neither partner exercises control. Investments in these entities are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this method the Company records an investment in the stock of an affiliate or joint venture at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount for its share of the earnings or losses of the affiliate or joint venture subsequent to the date of investment and reports the recognized earnings or losses in income. Dividends received from an affiliate or joint ventures reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Company’s share of losses in an affiliate or joint venture 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 or the joint venture.

NAVIOS MARITIME HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
(d)   Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, management evaluates the estimates and judgments, including those related to uncompleted voyages, future drydock dates, the carrying value of investments in affiliates, the selection of useful lives for tangible assets, expected future cash flows from long-lived assets to support impairment tests, provisions necessary for accounts receivables, provisions for legal disputes, pension benefits, and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions.
 
(e)   Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
(f)   Restricted cash: Restricted cash consists of the restricted portion of derivative base and margin collaterals with NOS ASA, a Norwegian clearing house, and cash retention accounts which are restricted for use as general working capital unless such balances exceed installment and interest payments due to vessels’ lenders. A portion of the amounts on deposit with NOS ASA and LCH are held as base and margin collaterals on active trades. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the restricted balance with NOS ASA was $250 and $471, respectively, and with LCH was $0 and $1,104, respectively.
 
    Also included in restricted cash as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are amounts held as security in the form of letters of guarantee or letters of credit totaling $1,098 and $2,167, respectively. In addition, at each of December 31, 2010 and 2009 restricted cash includes $18,430 and $103,416 (out of which $90,878 was kept in a pledged account and during 2010 was released to the Company subject to nomination of substitute vessels agreed by the bank), respectively. As of December 2010, the amount of $18,430 relates to amounts held in retention account in order to service debt and interest payments, as required by certain of Navios Holdings’ credit facilities.
 
    Restricted cash consists also of cash reserves totalling $33,261 as of December 31, 2010 relating to Navios Acquisition, held to pay future installments for vessel deposits in accordance with Navios Acquisition’s new build program. In addition, restricted cash also includes an amount of $538 held in retention account in order to service debt and interest payments, as required by certain of Navios Acquisition’s credit facilities as of December 31, 2010.
 
(g)   Insurance claims: Insurance claims at each balance sheet date consist of claims submitted and/or claims in the process of compilation or submission (claims pending). They are recorded on the accrual basis and represent the claimable expenses, net of applicable deductibles, incurred through December 31 of each reported period, which are probable to be recovered from insurance companies. Any remaining costs to complete the claims are included in accrued liabilities. The classification of insurance claims into current and non-current assets is based on management’s expectations as to their collection dates.
 
(h)   Inventories: Inventories, which are comprised of lubricants and stock provisions on board the owned vessels, are valued at the lower of cost or market value as determined on the first-in first-out basis.
 
(i)   Vessel, Port Terminal. Tanker Vessels, Barges, Push boats and Other Fixed Assets, net: Vessels, port terminal, tanker vessels, barges, push boats and other fixed assets acquired as parts of business combination would be recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. Vessels acquired as asset acquisitions would be stated at historical cost, which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (improvements and delivery expenses). Subsequent expenditures for major improvements and upgrading are capitalized, provided they appreciably extend the life, increase the earnings capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the accounts at the time of sale or retirement and any gain or loss is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
    Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
 
    Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated residual value.
 
    Annual depreciation rates used, which approximate the useful life of the assets are:

    Management estimates the residual values of the Company’s vessels based on a scrap value of $285 per lightweight ton, as the Company believes this level is common in the shipping industry. Management estimates the useful life of its vessels to be 25 years from the vessel’s original construction. However, when regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its useful life is re-estimated to end at the date such regulations become effective. An increase in the useful life of a vessel or in its residual value would have the effect of decreasing the annual depreciation charge and extending it into later periods. A decrease in the useful life of a vessel or in its residual value would have the effect of increasing the annual depreciation charge.
 
(j)   Deposits for vessels acquisitions: This represents amounts paid by the Company in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreements for the construction of vessels and other long-lived fixed assets. Interest costs incurred during the construction (until the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use) are capitalized. Capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $11,295 ($11,854 and $4,070 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively).
 
(k)   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 disposal groups as being held for sale in accordance with accounting for the impairment or the disposal of long-lived assets, 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. No assets were classified as held for sale in any of the periods presented.
 
(l)   Impairment of Long Lived Assets: Vessels, other fixed assets, other long lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by Navios Holdings are reviewed periodically for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular asset may not be fully recoverable. In accordance with accounting for long-lived assets, management determines projected undiscounted cash flows for each asset and compares it to its carrying amount. In the event that projected undiscounted cash flows for an asset is less than its carrying amount, then management reviews fair values and compares them to the asset’s carrying amount. In the event that impairment occurs, an impairment charge is recognized by comparing the asset’s carrying amount to its fair value. For the purposes of assessing impairment, long lived-assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.
 
    For the year ended December 31, 2010, the management of Navios Holdings after considering various indicators, including but not limited to the market price of its long-lived assets, its contracted revenues and cash flows and the economic outlook, concluded that no impairment loss should be recognized on the long-lived assets of Navios Holdings.
 
    Although management believes the underlying indicators supporting this assessment are reasonable, if charter rate trends and the length of the current market downturn continue, management may be required to perform impairment analysis in the future that could expose Navios Holdings to material impairment charges in the future.
 
    No impairment loss was recognized for any of the periods presented.

(m)   Deferred Drydock and Special Survey Costs: The Company’s vessels, barges and push boats are subject to regularly scheduled drydocking and special surveys which are carried out every 30 and 60 months, respectively for vessels, every 60 months for oceangoing vessels and every 84 months for pushboats and barges, to coincide with the renewal of the related certificates issued by the Classification Societies, unless a further extension is obtained in rare cases and under certain conditions. The costs of drydocking and special surveys is deferred and amortized over the above periods or to the next drydocking or special survey date if such has been determined. Unamortized drydocking or special survey costs of vessels, barges and push boats sold are written off to income in the year the vessel, barge or push boat is sold.
 
    This cost is determined by reference to the estimated economic benefits to be derived until the next drydocking or special survey. For each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the amortization was $3,306, $2,441, and $1,933, respectively.
 
(n)   Asset Retirement Obligation: The Company recorded a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long lived asset in the period in which it is incurred. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the asset balance was $19 and $20 for each period, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the liability balance associated with the lease of port terminal was $42 and $39, respectively.
 
(o)   Deferred Financing Costs: Deferred financing costs include fees, commissions and legal expenses associated with obtaining loan facilities. These costs are amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest rate method, and are included in interest expense. Amortization and write offs for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 were $11,752, $6,682 and $2,077, respectively.
 
(p)   Goodwill and Other Intangibles
 
    (i) Goodwill: As required by the accounting guidance, goodwill acquired in a business combination initiated after June 30, 2001 is not to be amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually and written down with a charge to operations if its carrying amount exceeds the estimated implied fair value.
 
    The Company will evaluate impairment of goodwill using a two-step process. First, the aggregate fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit based on a combination of discounted cash flow analysis and an industry market multiple.
 
    If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, then the Company must perform the second step to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and compare it with its carrying amount. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all the assets and liabilities of that reporting unit, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, then goodwill impairment is recognized by writing the goodwill down to its implied fair value.
 
    No impairment loss was recognized for any of the periods presented.
 
    (ii) Intangibles other than goodwill: Navios Holdings’ intangible assets and liabilities consist of favorable lease terms, unfavorable lease terms, customer relationships, trade name, port terminal operating rights, backlog assets and liabilities. The fair value of the trade name was determined based on the “relief from royalty” method which values the trade name based on the estimated amount that a company would have to pay in an arms length transaction to use that trade name. The asset is being amortized under the straight line method over 32 years.
 
    The fair value of customer relationships was determined based on the “excess earnings” method, which relies upon the future cash flow generating ability of the asset. The asset is amortized under the straight line method over 20 years.
 
    Other intangibles that are being amortized, such as the amortizable portion of favorable leases, port terminal operating rights, and backlog assets and liabilities, would be considered impaired if their carrying value could not be recovered from the future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset. Vessel purchase options, which are included in favorable lease terms, are not amortized and would be considered impaired if the carrying value of an option, when added to the option price of the vessel, exceeded the fair value of the vessel.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
When intangible assets or liabilities associated with the acquisition of a vessel are identified, they are recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined by reference to market data and the discounted amount of expected future cash flows. Where charter rates are higher than market charter rates, an asset is recorded, being the difference between the acquired charter rate and the market charter rate for an equivalent vessel. Where charter rates are less than market charter rates, a liability is recorded, being the difference between the assumed charter rate and the market charter rate for an equivalent vessel. The determination of the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates of many variables including market charter rates, expected future charter rates, the level of utilization of our vessels and our weighted average cost of capital. The use of different assumptions could result in a material change in the fair value of these items, which could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
The amortizable value of favorable and unfavorable leases is amortized over the remaining life of the lease term and the amortization expense is included in the statement of income in the Depreciation and Amortization line item.
The amortizable value of favorable leases would be considered impaired if its fair market value could not be recovered from the future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset. Vessel purchase options that have not been exercised, which are included in favorable lease terms, are not amortized and would be considered impaired if the carrying value of an option, when added to the option price of the vessel, exceeded the fair value of the vessel. As of December 31, 2010 there was no impairment of intangible assets.
Vessel purchase options, which are included in favourable leases, are not amortized and when the purchase option is exercised the asset will be capitalized as part of the cost of the vessel and will be depreciated over the remaining useful life of the vessel. Vessel purchase options which are included in unfavourable lease terms, are not amortized and when the purchase option is exercised by the charterer and the underlying vessel is sold, it will be recorded as part of gain/loss on sale of the assets. If the option is not exercised at the expiration date it will be written-off to the statements of income.
The weighted average amortization periods for intangibles are:
         
Intangible assets/liabilities   Years
Trade name
    21.0  
Favorable lease terms (*)
    6.6  
Unfavorable lease terms (**)
    4.7  
Port terminal operating rights
    30.0  
Customer relationships
    20.0  
Backlog asset — port terminal
    3.6  
 
(*)   The intangible asset associated with the favorable lease terms includes an amount of $53,668 related to purchase options for the vessels. This amount is not amortized and should the purchase options be exercised, any unamortized portion of this asset will be capitalized as part of the cost of the vessel and will be depreciated over the remaining useful life of the vessel (Note 8) and if not exercised, the intangible will be written off. As of December 31, 2010, and 2009, $16,545 and $16,545, respectively, had been transferred to the acquisition cost of vessels and as of December 31, 2009 the amount of $2,885, had been written off due to the sale of Navios Sagittarius to Navios Partners on June 10, 2009.
 
(**)   The intangible liability associated with the unfavorable lease terms includes an amount of $15,890 related to purchase options held by third parties. This amount is not amortized and if exercised by the third party the liability will be included in the calculation of the gain or loss of the related vessel and if not exercised, the intangible will be written off. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no purchase options held by third parties have been exercised.

(q)   Foreign Currency Translation: The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company engages in worldwide commerce with a variety of entities. Although, its operations may expose it to certain levels of foreign currency risk, its transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Additionally, the Company’s subsidiaries in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay transact a nominal amount of their operations in Uruguayan pesos, Argentinean pesos, Reales and Guaranies whereas the Company’s wholly-owned vessel subsidiaries and the vessel management subsidiary transact a nominal amount of their operations in Euros; however, all of the subsidiaries’ primary cash flows are U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized in the statement of income. The foreign currency exchange (losses)/gains recognized in the consolidated statement of income for each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, were $(20), $181 and $(11), respectively.
 
(r)   Provisions: The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is subject to various claims, suits and complaints. Management, in consultation with internal and external advisers, will provide for a contingent loss in the financial statements if the contingency had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the likelihood of loss was probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company has determined that the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and there is no best estimate within the range, the Company will provide the lower amount of the range. See Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further discussion.
 
    The Company participates in Protection and Indemnity (P&I) insurance plans provided by mutual insurance associations known as P&I clubs. Under the terms of these plans, participants may be required to pay additional premiums (supplementary calls) to fund operating deficits incurred by the clubs (“back calls”). Obligations for back calls are accrued annually based on information provided by the clubs.
 
    Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted voyages and vessels time chartered to others are provided for in the period in which such losses are determined. At December 31, 2010, the balance for provision for loss making voyages in progress was $21 (2009: $2,048).
 
(s)   Segment Reporting: Operating segments, as defined, are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Based on the Company’s methods of internal reporting and management structure, the Company has three reportable segments: Drybulk Vessel Operations, Tanker Vessel Operations and Logistics Business. The Drybulk Vessel Operations business consists of transportation and handling of bulk cargoes through ownership, operation, and trading of vessels, freight, and FFAs. Following the acquisition of Horamar and the formation of Navios Logistics, the Company has renamed its Port Terminal Segment to Logistics Business Segment, to include the activities of Horamar which provides similar products and services in the region that Navios’ existing port facility currently operates. Following also the formation of Navios Acquisition, the Company included an additional reportable segment, the Tanker Vessel Operations business, which consists of transportation and handling of liquid cargoes through ownership, operation, and trading of tanker vessels.
 
(t)   Revenue and Expense Recognition:
 
    Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recorded when services are rendered, the Company has a signed charter agreement or other evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenue from the following sources, (1) transportation of cargo, (2) time charter of vessels and (3) port terminal operations.
 
    Voyage revenues for the transportation of cargo are recognized ratably over the estimated relative transit time of each voyage. A voyage is deemed to commence when a vessel is available for loading and is deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the current cargo. Estimated losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. Under a voyage charter, the Company agrees to provide a vessel for the transportation of specific goods between specific ports in return for payment of an agreed upon freight rate per ton of cargo.
 
    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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
    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, except for loss generating time charters, in which case the loss is recognized in the period when such loss is determined. 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. Short period charters for less than three months are referred to as spot-charters. Charters extending three months to a year are generally referred to as medium term charters. All other charters are considered long term. Under time charters, operating cost such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.
 
    Revenues from port terminal operations consist of an agreed flat fee per ton and cover the services performed to unload barges (or trucks), transfer the product into the silos for temporary storage and then loading the ocean-going vessels. Revenues are recognized upon completion of loading the ocean-going vessels. Additionally, fees are charged for vessel dockage and for storage time in excess of contractually specified terms. Dockage revenues are recognized ratably up to completion of loading. Storage fees are assessed and recognized when the product remains in the silo storage beyond the contractually agreed time allowed. Storage fee revenue is recognized ratably over the storage period and ends when the product is loaded onto the ocean-going vessel.
 
    Forward Freight Agreements (FFAs): Realized gains or losses from FFAs are recognized monthly concurrent with cash settlements. In addition, the FFAs are “marked to market” quarterly to determine the fair values which generate unrealized gains or losses. Trading of FFAs could lead to material fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period to period basis. See Note 12.
 
    Deferred Voyage Revenue: Deferred voyage revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as revenue over the voyage or charter period.
 
    Time Charter, Voyage and Port Terminal Expense: Time charter and voyage expenses comprise all expenses related to each particular voyage, including time charter hire paid and voyage freight paid, bunkers, port charges, canal tolls, cargo handling, agency fees and brokerage commissions. Also included in time charter and voyage expenses are charterers’ liability insurances, provision for losses on time charters and voyages in progress at year-end, direct port terminal expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.
 
    Direct Vessel Expense: Direct vessel expenses consist of all expenses relating to the operation of vessels, including crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores and lubricants and miscellaneous expenses such as communications and amortization of drydocking and special survey costs.
 
    Prepaid Voyage Costs: Prepaid voyage costs relate to cash paid in advance for expenses associated with voyages. These amounts are recognized as expense over the voyage or charter period.
 
(u)   Employee benefits:
 
    Pension and retirement obligations-crew: The Company’s ship-owning subsidiary companies employ the crew on board under short-term contracts (usually up to nine months) and, accordingly, they are not liable for any pension or post-retirement benefits.
 
    Provision for employees’ severance and retirement compensation: The employees in the Company’s office in Greece are protected by Greek labor law. Accordingly, compensation is payable to such employees upon dismissal or retirement. The amount of compensation is based on the number of years of service and the amount of remuneration at the date of dismissal or retirement. If the employees remain in the employment of the Company until normal retirement age, they are entitled to retirement compensation which is equal to 40% of the compensation amount that would be payable if they were dismissed at that time. The number of employees that will remain with the Company until retirement age is not known. The Company is required to annually value the statutory terminations indemnities liability. Management obtains a valuation from independent actuaries to assist in the calculation of the benefits. The Company provides, in full, for the employees’ termination indemnities liability. This liability amounted to $542 and $368 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
    U.S. Retirement savings plan: The Company sponsors a 401(k) retirement savings plan, which is categorized as a defined contribution plan. The plan is available to full time employees who meet the plan’s eligibility requirements. The plan permits employees to make contributions up to 15% of their annual salary with the Company matching up to the first 6%. The Company makes monthly contributions (matching contributions) to the plan based on amounts contributed by employees. Subsequent to making the matching contributions, the Company has no further obligations. The Company may make an additional discretionary contribution annually if such a contribution is authorized by the Board of Directors. The plan is administered by an independent professional firm that specializes in providing such services. See Note 13.
 
    Other post-retirement obligations: The Company has a legacy pension arrangement for certain Bahamian, Uruguayan and former Navios Corporation employees. The entitlement to these benefits is only to these former employees. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued each year, using an accounting methodology similar to that for defined benefit pension plans. These obligations are valued annually by independent actuaries.
 
    Stock-based compensation: On October 18, 2007 and December 16, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of restricted common stock, restricted stock units and stock options in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan for its employees, officers and directors. The Company awarded shares of restricted common stock and restricted stock units to its employees, officers and directors and stock options to its officers and directors, based on service conditions only, which vest over two and three years, respectively. On December 17, 2009 and December 16, 2010, the Company authorized the issuance of shares of restricted common stock, restricted stock units and stock options in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan for its employees, officers and directors. The awards on December 17, 2009 and December 16, 2010, of restricted common stock and restricted stock units to its employees, officers and directors, vest over three years.
 
    The fair value of stock option grants is determined with reference to option pricing models, principally adjusted Black-Scholes models. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is determined by reference to the quoted stock price on the date of grant. Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized based on a graded expense model over the vesting period.
 
(v)   Financial Instruments: Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables and payables, other receivables and other liabilities, long-term debt and capital leases. The particular recognition methods applicable to each class of financial instrument are disclosed in the applicable significant policy description of each item, or included below as applicable.
 
    Financial risk management: The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including fluctuations in future freight rates, time charter hire rates, and fuel prices, credit and interest rates risk. Risk management is carried out under policies approved by executive management. Guidelines are established for overall risk management, as well as specific areas of operations.
 
    Credit risk: The Company closely monitors its exposure to customers and counter-parties for credit risk. The Company has policies in place to ensure that it trades with customers and counterparties with an appropriate credit history. Derivative counter-parties and cash transactions are limited to high quality credit financial institutions.
 
    Interest rate risk: The Company is party to interest rate swap agreements. The purpose of the agreements is to reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Any differential to be paid or received on an interest rate swap agreement is recognized as a component of gain/loss on derivatives over the period of the agreement. Gains and losses on early termination of interest rate swaps are taken to the consolidated statement of income. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of income.
 
    Liquidity risk: Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Company monitors cash balances adequately to meet working capital needs.
 
    Foreign exchange risk: Foreign currency transactions are translated into the measurement currency rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of income.

    Accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities:
 
    The Company enters into drybulk shipping FFAs as economic hedges relating to identifiable ship and or cargo positions and as economic hedges of transactions the Company expects to carry out in the normal course of its shipping business. By utilizing certain derivative instruments, including drybulk shipping FFAs, the Company manages the financial risk associated with fluctuating market conditions. In entering into these contracts, the Company has assumed the risk that might arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
 
    The Company also trades drybulk shipping FFAs which are cleared through NOS ASA, a Norwegian clearing house and LCH, the London clearing house. NOS ASA and LCH call for both base and margin collaterals, which are funded by Navios Holdings, and which in turn substantially eliminate counterparty risk. Certain portions of these collateral funds may be restricted at any given time as determined by NOS ASA and LCH.
 
    At the end of each calendar quarter, the fair value of drybulk shipping FFAs traded over-the-counter are determined from an index published in London, United Kingdom and the fair value of those FFAs traded with NOS ASA and LCH are determined from the NOS and LCH valuations accordingly.
 
    The Company records all of its derivative financial instruments and hedges as economic hedges except for those qualifying for hedge accounting. Gains or losses of instruments qualifying for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges are reflected under “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)” in stockholders’ equity, while those instruments that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are reflected in the statements of income. For FFAs that qualify for hedge accounting the changes in fair values of the effective portion representing unrealized gain or losses are recorded under “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)” in stockholders’ equity while the unrealized gains or losses of the FFAs not qualifying for hedge accounting together with the ineffective portion of those qualifying for hedge accounting, are recorded in the statement of operations under “Gain/(Loss) on derivatives”. The gains/(losses) included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)” are being reclassified to earnings under “Revenue” in the statements of income in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The reclassification to earnings commenced in the third quarter of 2006 and extended until December 31, 2008, depending on the period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transactions affected earnings. All of the amount included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)” had been reclassified to earnings as of December 31, 2008. For both years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, no losses/gains were included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/ (Loss)”, and nothing was reclassified to earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2008, $19,939 was included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/ (Loss)” and was reclassified to earnings in 2009.
 
    The Company classifies cash flows related to derivative financial instruments within cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
 
(w)   Earnings per Share: Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to Navios Holdings common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. Dilution has been computed by the treasury stock method whereby all of the Company’s dilutive securities (the warrants and stock options) are assumed to be exercised and the proceeds used to repurchase common shares at the weighted average market price of the Company’s common stock during the relevant periods. The incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share computation. Restricted stock and restricted stock units (vested and unvested) are included in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, based on the weighted average number of restricted stock and restricted stock units assumed to be outstanding during the period. Convertibles shares are including in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, based on the weighted average number of convertible shares assumed to be outstanding during the period.
 
(x)   Income Taxes: The Company is a Marshall Islands Corporation. Pursuant to various treaties and the United States Internal Revenue Code, the Company believes that substantially all its operations are exempt from income taxes in the Marshall Islands and United States of America. The tax expense reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 was attributable to its subsidiary in Belgium, which was subject to the Belgium income tax regime (Note 22). In June 2008, Navios Holdings’ Belgian subsidiary received a ruling from the Belgian tax authorities, confirming that provided it meets certain quantitative criteria, it would be eligible to be taxed under the tonnage tax system (rather than the income tax regime up to 2007). The effect of the ruling was that the deferred taxes recognized in the balance sheets relating to Kleimar N.V. (“Kleimar”) (amounting to $57,249) were reversed through the statement of income in the second quarter of 2008.

    The tax expense reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 was attributable to its subsidiaries in South America, which are subject to the Argentinean and Paraguayan income tax regime.
 
    The asset and liability method is used to account for future income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on future income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax asset is recognized for temporary differences that will result in deductible amounts in future years. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
(y)   Dividends: Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are declared. At December 31, 2010, the dividend declared relating to the third quarter of 2010 of approximately $6,094 was paid on January 4, 2011, and thus it is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as a current liability.
 
    On November 8, 2010, the Board of Directors of Navios Acquisition declared a quarterly cash dividend for the third quarter of 2010 of $0.05 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on January 12, 2011 to stockholders of record as of December 8, 2010. Dividend payable to third parties amounting to $1,120 is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as a current liability.
 
(z)   Guarantees: A liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee is recognized. The recognition of fair value is not required for certain guarantees such as the parent’s guarantee of a subsidiary’s debt to a third party or guarantees on product warranties. For those guarantees excluded from the above guidance, fair value recognition provision, financial statement disclosures of their terms are made.
 
(aa)   Leases: Vessel leases where Navios Holdings is regarded as the lessor are classified as either finance leases or operating leases based on an assessment of the terms of the lease. For charters classified as finance type leases the minimum lease payments are recorded as the gross investment in the lease. The difference between the gross investment in the lease and the sum of the present values of the two components of the gross investment is recorded as unearned income which is amortized to income over the lease term as finance lease interest income to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease.
 
(ab)   Accounting for the acquisition of Horamar: The Company accounted for the acquisition of Horamar Group (as described in Note 3) as a partial sale of CNSA to the noncontrolling shareholders of Navios Logistics, and a partial acquisition of Horamar. Accordingly in 2008, a gain was recognized by Navios for the portion of CNSA sold amounting to $2,702. Horamar’s assets and liabilities were revalued to 100% of their respective fair values, CNSA’s assets and liabilities were recorded at carryover basis, reflecting the common control nature of the transaction. The contingent shares consideration has been fully accounted at December 31, 2010.
 
(ac)   Treasury Stock: Treasury stock is accounted for using the cost method. Excess of the purchase price of the treasury stock acquired, plus direct acquisition costs over its par value is recorded in additional paid-in capital.
 
(ad)   Trade Accounts receivable: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire, freight and demurrage billings and FFA counterparties, net of a provision for doubtful accounts. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts.

(ae)   Convertible Preferred Stock : 2% Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) are recorded at fair market value on issuance. The fair market value is determined using a binomial valuation model. The model which is used takes into account the credit spread of the Company, the volatility of its stock, as well as the price of its stock at the issuance date. Each preferred share has a par value of $0.0001. Each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive an annual dividend equal to 2% on the nominal value of the Preferred Stock, payable quarterly, until such time as the Preferred Stock converts into common stock. Five years after the issuance date all Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $10.00 per preferred share. At any time following the third anniversary from their issuance date, if the closing price of the common stock has been at least $20.00 per share, for 10 consecutive business days, the remaining balance of the then-outstanding preferred shares shall automatically convert at a conversion price equal to $14.00 per share of common stock. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled, at their option, at any time following their issuance date and prior to their final conversion date, to convert all or any such then-outstanding preferred shares into common stock at a conversion price equal to $14.00 per preferred share.
 
(af)   Investment in available for sale securities: The Company classifies its existing marketable equity securities as available-for-sale. These securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported directly in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) unless an unrealized loss is considered “other-than-temporary,” in which case it is transferred to the statements of income. Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) 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 cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the investee for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
 
(ag)   Financial Instruments and Fair Value: The Company adopted guidance on Fair Value Measurements as of January 1, 2008. According to this guidance, a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under guidance on Fair Value Measurements are described below:
Basis of Fair Value Measurement
          Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
          Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
          Level 3: Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
          A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to guidance on Fair Value Measurements.
(ah)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
 
    Fair Value Disclosures
 
    In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standard requiring additional fair value disclosures. The amended standards require disclosures of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as well as requiring gross basis disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the Level 3 reconciliation. Additionally, the update clarifies the requirement to determine the level of disaggregation for fair value measurement disclosures and to disclose valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements in either Level 2 or Level 3. Navios Holdings adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and settlements within level 3, which will be effective for Navios Holdings beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on Navios Holdings’ consolidated financial statements.

    Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value
 
    In August 2009, the FASB released new guidance concerning measuring liabilities at fair value. The new guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain valuation techniques. Additionally, it clarifies that a reporting entity is not required to adjust the fair value of a liability for the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. This new guidance is effective for the first reporting period after its issuance. The application of this new guidance did not have a significant impact on Navios Holdings’ consolidated financial statements.
 
    Determining the Primary Beneficiary of a Variable Interest Entity
 
    In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance concerning the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This new guidance amends current U.S. GAAP by: requiring ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; amending the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of the VIE; modifying the guidance used to determine whether an entity is a VIE; adding an additional reconsideration event (e.g., troubled debt restructurings) for determining whether an entity is a VIE; and requiring enhanced disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement with a VIE. This new guidance was effective for Navios Holdings beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2010 and its adoption did not have any significant effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Navios Holdings will continue to consider the impacts of this new guidance on an on-going basis.
 
    Transfers of Financial Assets
 
    In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance concerning the transfer of financial assets. This guidance amends the criteria for a transfer of a financial asset to be accounted for as a sale, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets, eliminates the qualifying special-purpose entity concept and provides for new disclosures. This new guidance was effective for Navios Holdings for transfers of financial assets beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2010 and its adoption did not have any significant effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
    Subsequent Events
 
    In February 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance on subsequent events. Securities and Exchange Commission filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and Navios Holdings adopted these new requirements in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
 
    Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations
 
    In December 2010, the FASB issued an amendment of the Accounting Standards Codification regarding Business Combinations. This amendment affects any public entity as defined by Topic 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this Update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. Navios Holdings adopted these new requirements in fiscal year 2010.
NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS
Navios Acquisition acquired assets from Navios Holdings upon de-“SPAC”-ing
          On April 8, 2010, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement by and between Navios Acquisition and Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition agreed to acquire 13 vessels (11 product tankers and two chemical tankers) plus options to purchase two additional product tankers, for an aggregate purchase price of $457,659. Each vessel is commercially and technically managed under a management agreement with a subsidiary of Navios Holdings.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
          On May 25, 2010, after its special meeting of stockholders, Navios Acquisition announced the approval of (a) the acquisition of 13 vessels (11 product tankers and two chemical tankers) for an aggregate purchase price of $457,659, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement by and between Navios Acquisition and Navios Holdings and (b) certain amendments to Navios Acquisition’s amended and restated articles of incorporation.
          Following the consummation of the transactions described in the Acquisition Agreement, Navios Holdings was released from all debt and equity commitments for the above vessels and Navios Acquisition reimbursed Navios Holdings for equity payments made prior to the stockholders’ meeting under the purchase contracts for the vessels, plus all associated payments previously made by Navios Holdings amounting to $76,485.
          On May 28, 2010, certain shareholders of Navios Acquisition redeemed their shares upon de-“SPAC”-ing, and Navios Holding’s ownership of Navios Acquisition increased to 57.3%. At that point, Navios Holdings concluded that the increase in its ownership interest resulted in obtaining control over Navios Acquisition and, consequently, concluded that a business combination had occurred and consolidated Navios Acquisition from that date onwards. The table below shows the fair values of Navios Acquisition assets and liabilities as of May 28, 2010:

          In connection with the business combination, the Company (i) re-measured its previously-held equity interests in Navios Acquisition to fair value and recognized the difference between fair value and the carrying value as a gain, (ii) recognized 100% of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Navios Acquisition at their fair values, (iii) recognized a 42.7% noncontrolling interest at fair value, and (iv) recognized goodwill for the excess of the fair value of the noncontrolling interest and its previously-held equity interests in Navios Acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Navios Acquisition. The fair value of the Company’s previously-held investment in the common stock of Navios Acquisition, as well as the fair value of the noncontrolling interest as of May 28, 2010, were both calculated based on the closing price of Navios Acquisition’s common stock on that date. The difference between the Company’s legal ownership percentage of 57.3% (based on common stock outstanding) and the percentage derived by dividing the $95,232 allocated to the Company’s investment in Navios Acquisition and the total value ascribed to Navios Acquisition’s net assets (including goodwill) of $155,788 is a result of treating the Company’s investment in Navios Acquisition’s warrants as a previously-held equity interest for purposes of calculating goodwill in accordance with ASC 805.
          The Company has considered the fact that Navios Acquisition did not have any vessel operations during 2009 and its statements of operations include mainly general and administrative expenses, formation and other costs and interest income from investment securities, resulting in a loss of $648. As a result, the Company has evaluated that had the business combination been consummated as of January 1, 2009, Navios Holdings’ pro forma revenue and net income effect for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 would be immaterial and need not to be presented.

VLCC Acquisition
          On September 10, 2010, Navios Acquisition consummated the acquisition of seven very large crude carrier tankers (“VLCC”), referred to here in as the VLCC Acquisition for $134,270 of cash and the issuance of 1,894,918 shares totalling $10,745 (of which 1,378,122 shares were deposited into one year escrow to provide for indemnity and other claims). As of December 31, 2010, there were no contingencies known to Navios Acquisition. The 1,894,918 shares were valued using the closing price of the stock on the date before the acquisition of $5.67.
          Transaction costs amounted to $8,019 and have been fully expensed. Transaction costs includes $5,619, which was the fair value of the 3,000 preferred shares issued to a third party as compensation for consulting services (see Note 17).

          The unaudited pro forma results are for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition and related financing had occurred at the beginning of the period presented.
          Revenue and net loss of Navios Acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted to $33,568 and $8,294, respectively.
          The VLCC Acquisition contributed revenues of $26,592 and net loss of $8,838 to Navios Acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Acquisition of Horamar Group
          On January 1, 2008, pursuant to a share purchase agreement, Navios Holdings contributed (i) $112,200 in cash and (ii) the authorized capital stock of its wholly owned subsidiary CNSA in exchange for the issuance and delivery of 12,765 shares of Navios Logistics, representing 63.8% (67.2% excluding contingent consideration) of its outstanding stock. Navios Logistics acquired all ownership interests in Horamar in exchange for (i) $112,200 in cash, of which $5,000 was kept in escrow and payable upon the attainment of certain EBITDA targets during specified periods through December 2008 (the “EBITDA Adjustment”) and (ii) the issuance of 7,235 shares of Navios Logistics representing 36.2% (32.8% excluding contingent consideration) of Navios Logistics outstanding stock, of which 1,007 shares were kept in escrow pending attainment of certain EBITDA targets. In November 2008, $2,500 in cash and 503 shares were released from escrow when Horamar achieved the interim EBITDA target. As a result, Navios Holdings owned 65.5% (excluding 504 shares that remained in escrow at December 31, 2009) of Navios Logistics. On March 20, 2009, August 19, 2009, and December 30, 2009, the agreement pursuant to which Navios Logistics acquired CNSA and Horamar was amended to postpone until June 30, 2010 the date for determining whether the EBITDA target was achieved. On June 17, 2010, $2,500 in cash and the 504 shares remaining in escrow were released from escrow upon the achievement of the EBITDA target thresholds.
          Goodwill arising from the acquisition has all been allocated to the Company’s Logistics Business segment. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
          Following the release of the escrow in November 2008, as a result of Horamar achieving the interim EBITDA target, goodwill increased by $11,638, to reflect the changes in noncontrolling interests. Excluding the remaining contingent consideration still in escrow, Navios Holdings held 65.5% of Navios Logistics’ outstanding stock.
          On June 17, 2010, following the release of $2,500 in cash and the 504 shares in escrow upon the achievement of the EBITDA target thresholds, goodwill increased by $13,371. The 504 remaining shares held in escrow and released in June 2010 were valued at a new fair value of $10,869. The noncontrolling interest was adjusted for the percentage change in ownership by Navios Holdings.
          The noncontrolling interest balance in the Company’s consolidated financial statements resulted from the acquisition consists of two separate elements. The first element represents the impact on the noncontrolling interest balance resulting from the creation of a new noncontrolling interest in Navios Logistics (i.e., the portion of Navios Logistics that is now owned by the former shareholders). The second element represents the impact on the non-controlling interest balance resulting from the recognition of the existing non-controlling interests in various subsidiaries of Horamar that were outstanding prior to the acquisition and remained outstanding following the acquisition.
          The new fair value was determined by valuating the Navios Logistics business as of the date of the release. Because the shares of Navios Logistics are not publicly-traded, the fair value of the shares released from escrow during 2010 was estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis prepared by the Company, which projected the expected future cash flows for its logistics business and discounted those cash flows at a rate that reflects the business’ weighted average cost of capital. The Company used the following key methods and assumptions in the discounted cash flow analysis (i) projected its free cash flows (EBITDA less capital expenditures and income taxes) for each of the years from 2010 through 2014 on the basis of a compound annual growth rate for revenue of approximately 8.8%, (ii) prepared its cash flow projections on the basis of revenue producing assets that were owned by the logistics business as of the date of the analysis, (iii) calculated a terminal value for the business by applying a growth factor of 4.9% in perpetuity to projected free cash flow for the last specifically-forecasted year (2014), (iv) discounted its projected future cash flows, including the terminal value, using a weighted-average cost of capital of 12.9% and (v) deducted net debt of the business from the discounted cash flows in arriving at estimated fair value of the equity of logistics business.

          Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the Company’s large number of customers, who are internationally dispersed and have a variety of end markets in which they sell. Due to these factors, management believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is inherent in the Company’s trade receivables. For the year ended December 31, 2010, none of the customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2009, one customer accounted for 13.2% of the Company’s revenue and for the year ended 2008, none of the customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
 
(*)   On April 28, 2010, the Navios Vector, a 50,296 dwt Ultra-Handymax vessel and former long-term chartered-in vessel in operation, was delivered to Navios Holdings’ owned fleet. The unamortized amount of $655 of the Navios Vector’s favorable lease was included as an adjustment to the carrying value of the vessel.
 
(**)   The intangible asset associated with the favorable lease terms includes an amount of $53,668 related to purchase options for the vessels. This amount is not amortized and should the purchase options be exercised, any unamortized portion of this asset will be capitalized as part of the cost of the vessel and will be depreciated over the remaining useful life of the vessel (Note 8) and if not exercised, the intangible will be written off. As of December 31, 2010, and 2009, $16,545 and $16,545, respectively, had been transferred to the acquisition cost of vessels and as of December 31, 2009 the amount of $2,885, had been written off due to the sale of Navios Sagittarius to Navios Partners on June 10, 2009.
 
(***)   The intangible liability associated with the unfavorable lease terms includes an amount of $15,890 related to purchase options held by third parties. This amount is not amortized and if exercised by the third party the liability will be included in the calculation of the gain or loss of the related vessel and if not exercised, the intangible will be written off. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no purchase options held by third parties have been exercised.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
NOTE 9: INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATES
Navios Maritime Partners L.P.
          On August 7, 2007, Navios Holdings formed Navios Partners under the laws of Marshall Islands. Navios GP L.L.C. (the “General Partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, was also formed on that date to act as the general partner of Navios Partners and received a 2% general partner interest.
          On June 9, 2009, Navios Holdings relieved Navios Partners from its obligation to purchase the Capesize vessel Navios Bonavis for $130,000 and, with the delivery of the Navios Bonavis to Navios Holdings, Navios Partners was granted a 12-month option to purchase the vessel for $125,000. In return, Navios Partners issued to Navios Holdings 1,000,000 subordinated Series A units. The 1,000,000 subordinated Series A units are included in “Investments in affiliates”. The Company calculated the fair value of the 1,000,000 subordinated Series A units by adjusting the publicly-quoted price for Navios Partners’ common units on the transaction date to reflect the differences between the common and subordinated Series A units of Navios Partners. Principal among these differences is the fact that the subordinated Series A units are not entitled to dividends prior to their automatic conversion to common units on the third anniversary of their issuance. Accordingly, the present value of the expected dividends during that three-year period (discounted at a rate that reflects Navios Partners’ estimated weighted average cost of capital) was deducted from the publicly-quoted price for Navios Partners’ common units in arriving at the estimated fair value of the subordinated Series A units of $6.08/unit or $6,082 for the 1,000,000 units received, which was recognized in Navios Holdings results as a non-cash compensation income. In addition, Navios Holdings was released from the omnibus agreement restrictions for two years in connection with acquiring vessels from third parties (but not from the requirement to offer to sell to Navios Partners qualifying vessels in Navios Holdings’ existing fleet). The subordinated series A units are accounted for at cost.
          Navios Partners is engaged in the seaborne transportation services of a wide range of drybulk commodities including iron ore, coal, grain and fertilizer, chartering its vessels under medium to long-term charters. The operations of Navios Partners are managed by Navios Shipmanagement Inc. (the “Manager”), from its offices in Piraeus, Greece.
          As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amount of the investment in Navios Partners (subordinated units and general partner units) is accounted for under the equity method was $12,218 and $6,012, respectively. The 3,131,415 common units, from the sale of the Navios Hope, the 1,174,219 common units received from the sale of the Navios Aurora II, on March 18, 2010, and 788,370 common units from the sale of both the Navios Fulvia and the Navios Melodia on November 15, 2010, to Navios Partners, were accounted for under investment in available for sale securities. As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the carrying amount of the investment in available-for-sale common units was $99,078 and $46,314, respectively.
          Dividends received during the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $21,231 and $18,066, respectively.
Acropolis Chartering and Shipping Inc.
          Navios Holdings has a 50% interest in Acropolis Chartering & Shipping, Inc. (“Acropolis”), a brokerage firm for freight and shipping charters. Although Navios Holdings owns 50% of the stock, the two shareholders have agreed that the earnings and amounts declared by way of dividends will be allocated 35% to the Company with the balance to the other shareholder. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the carrying amount of the investment was $385 and $686, respectively. Dividends received for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, were $966 and $878, respectively.
Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation
          On July 1, 2008, the Company completed the IPO of units in its subsidiary, Navios Acquisition, a blank check company. In the offering, Navios Acquisition sold 25,300,000 units for an aggregate purchase price of $253,000. Simultaneously with the completion of the IPO, the Company purchased Private Placement Warrants of Navios Acquisition for an aggregate purchase price of $7,600. Prior to the IPO, Navios Holdings had purchased 8,625,000 Sponsor Units for a total consideration of $25, of which an aggregate of 290,000 units were transferred to the Company’s officers and directors and an aggregate of 2,300,000 Sponsor Units were returned to Navios Acquisition and cancelled upon receipt. Each unit consisted of one share of Navios Acquisition’s common stock and one Sponsor Warrant. Navios Acquisition at the time was not a controlled subsidiary of the Company but was accounted for under the equity method due to the Company’s significant influence over Navios Acquisition.

NAVIOS MARITIME HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
          On May 28, 2010, certain stockholders of Navios Acquisition redeemed their shares upon de-“SPAC”-ing, and Navios Holdings’ ownership of Navios Acquisition increased to 57.3%. At that point, Navios Holdings concluded that the increase in its ownership interest resulted in obtaining control over Navios Acquisition and, consequently, concluded that a business combination had occurred and has consolidated the results of Navios Acquisition from that date onwards (see Note 1,3).

          Senior Notes: In December 2006, the Company issued $300,000 senior notes at 9.5% fixed rate due on December 15, 2014. The senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally and on an unsecured senior basis, by all of the Company’s subsidiaries, other than a subsidiary of Kleimar, Navios Logistics and its subsidiaries and the general partner of Navios Partners. In addition, the Company had the option to redeem the notes in whole or in part, at any time before December 15, 2010, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make whole price which is based on a formula calculated using a discount rate of treasury bonds plus 50 bps, and now has such option since it is after December 15, 2010, to redeem at a fixed price of 104.75%, which price declines ratably until it reaches par in 2012 (see Note 26). Furthermore, upon occurrence of certain change of control events, the holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of the notes at 101% of their face amount. Under a registration rights agreement, the Company and the guarantors filed a registration statement prior to June 25, 2007, which was filed and became effective on July 5, 2007, that enabled the holders of notes to exchange the privately placed notes with publicly registered notes with identical terms. The senior 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 Company’s properties and assets and creation or designation of restricted subsidiaries. Pursuant to the covenant regarding asset sales, the Company has to repay the senior notes at par plus interest with the proceeds of certain asset sales if the proceeds from such asset sales are not reinvested in the business within a specified period or used to pay secured debt.
          Ship Mortgage Notes: In November 2009, the Company issued $400,000 first priority ship mortgage notes due on November 1, 2017 at 8.875% fixed rate. The ship mortgage notes are senior obligations of Navios Holdings and are secured by first priority ship mortgages on 15 vessels owned by certain subsidiary guarantors and other related collateral securities. The ship mortgage notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally by all of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries that guarantee the 9.5% senior notes. The guarantees of the Company’s subsidiaries that own mortgage vessels are senior secured guarantees and the guarantees of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not own mortgage vessels are senior unsecured guarantees. Concurrently with the issuance of the ship mortgage notes, Navios Holdings has deposited $105,000 from the proceeds of the issuance into an escrow account. In December 2009, this amount was released to partially finance the acquisition of two designated Capesize vessels. At any time before November 1, 2012, Navios Holdings may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the ship mortgage notes with the net proceeds of a public equity offering at 108.875% of the principal amount of the ship mortgage notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, so long as at least 65% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the ship mortgage notes remains outstanding after such redemption. In addition, the Company has the option to redeem the ship mortgage notes in whole or in part, at any time (1) before November 1, 2013, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make whole price which is based on a formula calculated using a discount rate of treasury bonds plus 50 bps, and (2) on or after November 1, 2013, at a fixed price of 104.438%, which price declines ratably until it reaches par in 2015.

          Furthermore, upon occurrence of certain change of control events, the holders of the ship mortgage notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of the notes at 101% of their face amount. Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement, as a result of satisfying certain conditions, the Company and the guarantors are not obligated to file a registration statement that would have enabled the holders of ship mortgage notes to exchange the privately placed notes with publicly registered notes with identical terms. The ship mortgage 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 into certain transactions with affiliates, merging or consolidating or selling all or substantially all of Company’s properties and assets and creation or designation of restricted subsidiaries. The Company is in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2010.
Loan Facilities:
          The majority of the Company’s senior secured credit facilities include maintenance covenants, including loan-to-value ratio covenants, based on either charter-adjusted valuations, or charter-free valuations. As of December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under each of its credit facilities outlined below.
          HSH/Commerzbank Facility: In February 2007, Navios Holdings entered into a secured loan facility with HSH Nordbank and Commerzbank AG maturing on October 31, 2014. The facility composed of a $280,000 term loan facility and a $120,000 reducing revolving facility. In April 2008, the Company entered into an agreement for the amendment of the facility due to a prepayment of $10,000. After such amendment the term loan facility was repayable in 19 quarterly payments of $2,647, seven quarterly payments of $5,654 and a balloon payment of $166,382. In March 2009, Navios Holdings further amended its facility agreement, effective as of November 15, 2008, as follows: (a) to reduce the Security Value Maintenance ratio (“SVM”) (ratio of the charter-free valuations of the mortgaged vessels over the outstanding loan amount) from 125% to 100%; (b) to obligate Navios Holdings to accumulate cash reserves into a pledged account with the agent bank of $14,000 ($5,000 in March 2009 and $1,125 on each loan repayment date during 2009 and 2010, starting from January 2009); and (c) to set the margin at 200 bps. The amendment was effective until January 31, 2010.
          Following the sale of the Navios Apollon on October 29, 2009, Navios Holdings prepaid $13,501 of the loan facility and permanently reduced its revolving credit facility by $4,778.
          Following the issuance of the ship mortgage notes in November 2009, the mortgages and security interests on ten vessels previously secured by the loan and the revolving facility were fully released in connection with the partial prepayment of the facility with approximately $197,599, of which $195,000 was funded from the issuance of the ship mortgage notes and the remaining $2,599 from the Company’s cash. The Company permanently reduced the revolving facility by an amount of $26,662 and the term loan facility by $80,059. In April 2010, Navios Holdings further amended its facility agreement with HSH/Commerzbank as follows: (a) release of certain pledge deposits amounting to $117,519 and acceptance additional securities of substitute vessels; and (b) to set a margin ranging from 115 bps to 175 bps depending on the specified security value. In April, 2010, the available amount of $21,551 under the revolving facility was drawn and an amount of $117,519 was kept in a pledged account. On April 29, 2010, restricted cash of $17,982 for financing the Navios Vector acquisition was drawn. The amount of $73,974 for financing the Navios Melodia and Navios Fulvia acquisition ($36,987 for each vessel) was drawn from the pledged account and a prepayment of $25,553 was made on October 1, 2010. As a result, no outstanding amount was kept in the pledged account as of December 31, 2010.
          The loan facility requires compliance with financial covenants, including specified SVM contained to total debt percentage and minimum liquidity. It is an event of default under the revolving credit facility if such covenants are not complied with or if Angeliki Frangou, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns less than 20% of the issued stock.
          The revolving credit facility is available for future acquisitions and general corporate and working capital purposes.
          On November 15, 2010, following the sale of the Navios Melodia and the Navios Fulvia to Navios Partners, for a total consideration of $177,000 of which $162,000 was paid in cash and the remaining in Navios Partners’ units, Navios Holdings fully repaid its outstanding loan balance with HSH Nordbank in respect of the two vessels amounting to $71,898.
          As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding amount under the revolving credit facility was $15,745 and the outstanding amount under the loan facility was $62,961.
          Emporiki Facilities: In December 2007, Navios Holdings entered into a facility agreement with Emporiki Bank of Greece of up to $154,000 in order to partially finance the construction of two Capesize bulk carriers.

NOTE 12: DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Warrants
          The Company accounts for the Navios Acquisition Warrants (see Note 1), which were obtained in connection with its investment in Navios Acquisition, under guidance for accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This accounting guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and other hedging activities. In accordance with the relative accounting guidance, the Company before acquiring control over Navios Acquisition, recorded the Navios Acquisition Warrants in the consolidated balance sheets under “Long-term derivative assets” at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in “(Loss)/gain on derivatives” in the consolidated statements of income.
          Prior to the consolidation of Navios Acquisition, Navios Holdings valued the Navios Acquisition Warrants at fair value amounting to $14,069 (fair value $9,120 of 7,600,000 warrants at $1.20 per warrant and $4,949 of 6,035,000 sponsor warrants at $0.82 per warrant), and changes in fair value were recorded in “(Loss)/gain on derivatives” in the consolidated statements of income amounting to $5,888 ($5,863 and ($5,282) for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively).
          Upon obtaining control of Navios Acquisition (see Note 1), the investment in shares of common stock and the investment in warrants were remeasured to fair value resulting in a gain of $17,742 recorded in the statements of income under “Gain on change in control” and noncontrolling interest was recognized at fair value, being the number of shares not controlled by the Company at the public share price as of May 28, 2010 of $6.56, amounting to $60,556.
          Interest rate risk
          The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts as economic hedges to its exposure to variability in its floating rate long-term debt. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company and the bank agreed to exchange at specified intervals, the difference between paying fixed rate and floating rate interest amount calculated by reference to the agreed principal amounts and maturities. Interest rate swaps allow the Company to convert long-term borrowings issued at floating rates into equivalent fixed rates. Even though the interest rate swaps were entered into for economic hedging purposes, the derivatives described below do not qualify for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges, under the relative accounting guidance, as the Company does not have currently written contemporaneous documentation, identifying the risk being hedged, and both on a prospective and retrospective basis, performed an effective test supporting that the hedging relationship is highly effective. Consequently, the Company recognizes the change in fair value of these derivatives in the statements of income.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
          For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the realized loss on interest rate swaps was $(1,155), $(1,491) and $(2,351), respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the outstanding net liability was $0 and $1,133, respectively. The unrealized gain/(loss) as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $1,133, $1,774 and $(1,874), respectively.
          The swap agreements have been entered into by subsidiaries. The Royal Bank of Scotland, the Alpha Bank swap and the HSH Nordbank swap agreements have expired as of December 31, 2010.
Forward Freight Agreements (FFAs)
          The Company actively trades in the FFAs market with both an objective to utilize them as economic hedging instruments that are highly effective in reducing the risk on specific vessel(s), freight commitments, or the overall fleet or operations, and to take advantage of short-term fluctuations in the market prices. FFAs trading generally have not qualified as hedges for accounting purposes, except as discussed below, and as such, the trading of FFAs could lead to material fluctuations in the Company’s reported results from operations on a period to period basis.
          Drybulk shipping FFAs generally have the following characteristics: they cover periods from one month to one year; they can be based on time charter rates or freight rates on specific quoted routes; they are executed between two parties and give rise to a certain degree of credit risk depending on the counterparties involved and they are settled monthly based on publicly quoted indices.
          For FFAs that qualify for hedge accounting the changes in fair values of the effective portion representing unrealized gain or losses are recorded under “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)” in stockholders’ equity while the unrealized gains or losses of the FFAs not qualifying for hedge accounting together with the ineffective portion of those qualifying for hedge accounting, are recorded in the statements of income under “(Loss )/gain on derivatives”. The gains/(losses) included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss)” are being reclassified to earnings under “Revenue” in the statements of income in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The reclassification to earnings commenced in the third quarter of 2006 and extended until December 31, 2008, depending on the period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transactions affected earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, losses of $0, $0 and $19,939, respectively, included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/ (Loss)”, were reclassified to earnings.
          At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, none of the “mark to market” positions of the open dry bulk FFA contracts, qualified for hedge accounting treatment. Drybulk FFAs traded by the Company that do not qualify for hedge accounting are shown at fair value through the statements of income.
          The net (losses)/gains from FFAs recorded in the statement of income amounted to $(1,802), $(5,172) and $16,244, for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
          During each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the changes in net unrealized gains/ (losses) on FFAs amounted to $(19,903), $1,674 and $(8,220), respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments
          The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
          Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.
          Forward Contracts: The estimated fair value of forward contracts and other assets was determined based on quoted market prices.
          Borrowings: The carrying amount of the floating rate loans approximates its fair value. Only the senior and ship mortgage notes have a fixed rate and their fair value, which was determined based on quoted market prices, is indicated in the table below.
          Interest rate swaps: The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the swaps at the reporting date and are valued using pricing models.
          Forward freight agreements: The fair value of forward freight agreements is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date by obtaining quotes from brokers or exchanges.

          The Company’s FFAs are valued based on published quoted market prices. Navios Acquisition Warrants are valued based on quoted market indices taking into consideration their restricted nature. Investments in available for sale securities are valued based on published quoted market prices. Interest rate swaps are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, and correlations of such inputs. The Company’s derivatives trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs can generally be verified and do not involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
NOTE 13: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Retirement Saving Plan
          The Company sponsors an employee saving plan covering all of its employees in the United States. The Company’s contributions to the employee saving plan during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, were approximately $122, $105 and $101, respectively, which included a discretionary contribution of $18, $15, and $15, respectively.
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
          The Company sponsors a legacy unfunded defined benefit pension plan that covers certain Bahamian and Uruguayan nationals and former Navios Corporation employees. The liability related to the plan is recognized based on actuarial valuations. The current portion of the liability is included in accrued expenses and the non-current portion of the liability is included in other long term liabilities. There are no pension plan assets.
          The Greek office employees are protected by the Greek Labor Law. According to the law, the Company is required to pay retirement indemnities to employees on dismissal, or on leaving with an entitlement to a full security retirement pension. The amount of the compensation is based on the number of years of service and the amount of the monthly remuneration including regular bonuses at the date of dismissal or retirement up to a maximum of two years salary. If the employees remain in the employment of the Company until normal retirement age, the entitled retirement compensation is equal to 40% of the compensation amount that would be payable if they were dismissed at that time. The number of employees that will remain with the Company until retirement age is not known. The Company considers this plan equivalent to a lump sum defined benefit pension plan and accounts it under FASB guidance on employer’s accounting for pension.
Stock Plan
          On October 18, 2007 and December 16, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan for its employees, officers and directors. The Company awarded shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units to its employees, officers and directors and stock options to its officers and directors, based on service conditions only, which vest over two years and three years, respectively.
          On December 17, 2009, the Company authorized the issuance of shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan for its employees, officers and directors. Restricted stock and restricted stock units awarded on December 17, 2009 to its employees, officers and directors, are restricted for three years period.
          On December 16, 2010, pursuant to the stock plan approved by the Board of Directors, Navios Holdings issued an additional 537,310 shares restricted of common stock to its employees, which vest over three years.
          This restriction lapses in two or three equal tranches, over the requisite service periods, of one, two and three years from the grant date. Stock options have been granted to executives and directors only and vest in three equal tranches over the requisite service periods of one, two and three years from the grant date. Each option remains exercisable for seven years after its vesting date.

          The fair value of all stock option awards has been calculated based on the modified Black-Scholes method. A description of the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock option awards is set out below:
    Expected term: The “simplified method” was used which includes taking the average of the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual term of the option award. The option awards vest over three years at 33.3%, 33.3% and 33.4% respectively, resulting in a weighted average time to vest of approximately 2 years. The contractual term of the award is 7 years. Utilizing the simplified approach formula, the derived expected term estimate for the Company’s option award is 4.5 years.
 
    Expected volatility: The historical volatility of Navios Holdings’ shares was used in order to estimate the volatility of the stock option awards. The final expected volatility estimate (which equals the historical estimate is 81.52%, 68.86% and 61.30% for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively).

Provisions have been recognized in the financial statements for all such proceedings where the Company believes that a liability may be probable, and for which the amounts are reasonably estimable, based upon facts known at the date the financial statements were prepared.

According to the acquisition agreement (see Note 1), if such cases materialize against the Company, the amounts involved will be reimbursed by the previous shareholders, and, as such, the Company has recognized a respective receivable (included in “Other long-term assets”) against such liability, since the management considers the receivable to be probable.

          The deferred gain recognized in equity in earnings in connection with the public offerings of Navios Partners’ common units relates to gains that initially arose from the sale of vessels by Navios Holdings to Navios Partners. Upon the sale of vessels to Navios Partners, Navios Holdings recognizes the gain immediately in earnings only to the extent of the interest in Navios Partners owned by third parties and defers recognition of the gain to the extent of its own ownership interest in Navios Partners (the “deferred gain”). Subsequently, the deferred gain is amortized to income over the remaining useful life of the vessel. The recognition of the deferred gain is accelerated in the event that (i) the vessel is subsequently sold or otherwise disposed of by Navios Partners or (ii) the Company’s ownership interest in Navios Partners is reduced. In connection with above mentioned Navios Partners’ public offerings, a pro rata portion of the deferred gain was released to income upon dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in Navios Partners.

At that date, Navios Holdings acquired control over Navios Acquisition, consequently concluded a business combination had occurred and consolidated the results of Navios Acquisition from that date onwards. As a result of gaining control, Navios Holdings recognized the effect of $17,742, which represents the fair value of the shares that exceed the carrying value of the Company’s ownership of 12,372,551 shares of Navios Acquisition’s common stock, in the statements of income under “Gain on change in control”. On November 19, 2010, following Navios Acquisition public offering of 6,500,000 shares of common stock at $5.50 per share, Navios Holdings’ interest in Navios Acquisition decreased to 53.7%.

NOTE 20: SEGMENT INFORMATION
          The Company has three reportable segments from which it derives its revenues: Drybulk Vessel Operations, Tanker Vessel Operations and Logistics Business. The reportable segments reflect the internal organization of the Company and are strategic businesses that offer different products and services. Starting in 2008, following the acquisition of Horamar and the formation of Navios Logistics, the Company renamed its Port Terminal Segment as its Logistics Business segment to include the activities of Horamar, which provides similar products and services in the region that Navios Holdings’ existing port facility currently, operates. The Drybulk Vessel Operations business consists of transportation and handling of bulk cargoes through ownership, operation, and trading of vessels, freight, and FFAs. The Logistics Business consists of operating ports and transfer station terminals, handling of vessels, barges and push boats as well as upriver transport facilities in the Hidrovia region. Following the formation of Navios Acquisition in 2010, the Company included an additional reportable segment, the Tanker Vessel Operations business, which consists of transportation and handling of liquid cargoes through ownership, operation, and trading of tanker vessels.
          The Company measures segment performance based on net income. Inter-segment sales and transfers are not significant and have been eliminated and are not included in the following tables. Summarized financial information concerning each of the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

NOTE 22: INCOME TAXES
          Marshall Islands, Greece, Malta, Liberia, Panama and Malta, do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of Marshall Islands, Greece, Liberia and Panama the countries of the companies’ incorporation and vessels’ registration, the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
          Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are registered as Law 89 companies in Greece. These Law 89 companies are exempt from Greek income tax on their income derived from certain activities related to shipping. Since all the Law 89 companies conduct only business activities that qualify for the exemption of Greek income tax, no provision has been made for Greek income tax with respect to income derived by these Law 89 companies from their business operations in Greece.
          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 Company’s ship-operating subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria. In addition, these companies must be more than 50% owned by individuals who are residents, as defined, in the countries of incorporation or another foreign country that grants an equivalent exemption to U.S. corporations. Subject to proposed regulations becoming finalized in their current form, management of the Company believes by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company like the Company, 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.
          In Belgium profit from ocean shipping is taxable based on the tonnage of the sea-going vessels from which the profit is obtained (“tonnage tax”) or taxation is based on the regular income tax rate of 33.99% applying the special optional system of depreciations of new or second hand vessels. From 2008 onwards, the Company qualifies for the first method of taxation. Following the acquisition by a Belgian tax payer, sea-going vessels and shares in such new vessels receive tax allowances as follows:
    for the financial year of putting into service: maximum depreciation 20% straight line;
 
    for each of the two following financial years: maximum depreciation of 15% straight line;
 
    then per financial year up to the complete writing off: maximum depreciation of 10% straight line.
          In 2007, the Company’s Belgian subsidiary, Kleimar, has applied for changing its method of taxation, to tonnage tax. The Company was granted the ruling of the local authorities, which, is effective for the fiscal year starting January 1, 2008.
          In 2008, Kleimar received the official decision from the Belgian tax authorities that assuming it met certain quantitative thresholds, it had been declared eligible for the tonnage tax regime (instead of an income tax regime) with an effective date January 1, 2008. Accordingly, all of Kleimar’s existing deferred tax balances that were affected by this decision were released in 2008 with a corresponding impact reflected in the income statement amounting to $57,249.
          The tax expense reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 is attributable to its subsidiaries in South America, which are subject to the Argentinean, Brazilian and Paraguayan income tax regime.
          CNSA is located in a tax free zone and is not liable to income or other tax. Navios Logistics’ operations in Uruguay are exempted from income taxes.
          Income tax liabilities of the Argentinean companies for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities, using a tax rate of 35% on the taxable net income. Tax rates and tax laws used to assess the income tax liability are those that are effective on the close of the fiscal period. Additionally, at the end the fiscal year, Argentinean companies in Argentina have to calculate an assets tax (“Impuesto a la Ganancia Minima Presunta” or Alternative Minimum Tax). This tax is supplementary to income tax and is calculated by applying the effective tax rate of 1% over the gross value of the corporate assets (based on tax law criteria). The subsidiaries’ tax liabilities will be the higher of income tax or Alternative Minimum Tax. However, if the Alternative Minimum Tax exceeds income tax during any fiscal year, such excess may be computed as a prepayment of any income tax excess over the Alternative Minimum Tax that may arise in the next ten fiscal years.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
          Under the tax laws of Argentina, the subsidiaries of the Company in that country are subject to taxes levied on gross revenues. Rates differ depending on the jurisdiction where revenues are deemed earned for tax purposes. Average rates were approximately 4.3% for the year ended December 31, 2010 (3.5% for 2009).
          There are two possible options to determine the income tax liability of Paraguayan companies. Under the first option income tax liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured by applying the tax rate of 10% on the fiscal profit and loss. 50% of revenues derived from international freights are considered Paraguayan sourced (and therefore taxed) if carried between Paraguay and Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil or Uruguay, Alternatively, only 30% of revenues derived from international freights are considered Paraguayan sourced. Companies whose operations are considered international freights can choose to pay income taxes on their revenues at an effective tax rate of 1% on such revenues, without considering any other kind of adjustments. Fiscal losses, if any, are neither deducted nor carried forward.
          The Company’s deferred taxes as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, relate primarily to deferred tax liabilities on acquired intangible assets recognized in connection with the Horamar acquisition.
          As of January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB for Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This guidance requires application of a more likely than not threshold to the recognition and derecognition of uncertain tax positions. This guidance permits the Company to recognize the amount of tax benefit that has a greater that 50 percent likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement. It further requires that a change in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions be recognized in earnings in the quarter of such change. Kleimar’s open tax years are 2006 and 2007. Argentinean companies have open tax years ranging from 2005 and onwards and Paraguayan and Brazilian companies have open tax years ranging from 2006 and onwards. In relation to these open tax years, the Company believes that there are no material uncertain tax positions.
NOTE 23: NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
          Following the acquisition of Horamar in January 2008, Navios Holdings owned 65.5% (excluding 504 shares still kept in escrow as of December 31, 2009, pending the achievement of final EBITDA target) of the outstanding common stock of Navios Logistics. On March 20, 2009, August 19, 2009, and December 30, 2009, the agreement pursuant to which Navios Logistics acquired CNSA and Horamar was amended to postpone until June 30, 2010 the date for determining whether the EBITDA target was achieved. On June 17, 2010, $2,500 in cash and the 504 shares remaining in escrow were released from escrow upon the achievement of the EBITDA target threshold. Following the release of the remaining shares that were held in escrow, Navios Holdings owned 63.8% of Navios Logistics.

NOTE 24: INVESTMENT IN AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES
          As part of the consideration received from the sale of Navios Hope to Navios Partners in July 2008, the Company received 3,131,415 common units of Navios Partners.

The Company has no other types of available for sale securities.
          As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 the carrying amounts of the AFS Securities were $99,078 and $46,314, respectively, and the unrealized holding gains/(losses) related to these AFS Securities included in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/ (Loss)” were $32,624, $15,156 and $(22,578), respectively, as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

The vessel is chartered-out for 12 years at a net rate of $25 per day.
 
  (c)   On January 28, 2011, Navios Holdings completed the sale of $350,000 of 8 1/8% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). The 2019 Notes are guaranteed by all of the subsidiaries that provide a guarantee of Navios Holdings’ existing 8 7/8% first priority ship mortgage notes due 2017.
 
      The net proceeds from the sale of the 8 1/8% Notes were used to redeem any and all of Navios Holdings’ outstanding 9 1/2% Senior Notes due 2014 (“2014 Notes”) and pay related transaction fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The offer to redeem the 8 1/8% Notes (“Tender offer”) expired on February 11, 2011 with $25,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2014 Notes outstanding.
 
      Navios Holdings redeemed for cash, on February 28, 2011, all 2014 Notes that remained outstanding after completion of the Tender Offer, at a redemption price of $1.05 per $1.0 principal amount of 2014 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including that redemption date.
 
  (d)   On February 7, 2011, the Board of Directors of Navios Acquisition declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the fourth quarter of 2010 of $0.05 per common share payable on April 5, 2011 to stockholders of record as of March 16, 2011.
 
  (e)   On February 14, 2011, Navios Holdings took delivery of the Navios Azimuth, a 179,169 dwt 2011-built Capesize vessel from a South Korean shipyard for a purchase price of approximately $54,151, of which $12,500 was paid in cash, $40,000 was financed through a loan and the remaining was funded through the issuance of 300 shares of preferred stock which have a nominal value of $3,000 and a fair value of $1,651 (see Note 7). The vessel is chartered-out for 12 years at a net rate of $27 per day.
 
  (f)   On February 14, 2011, Navios Holdings received an amount of $6,126 as a dividend distribution from its affiliate Navios Partners.
 
  (g)   On February 18, 2011, the Board of Directors of Navios Holdings resolved that a dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock will be paid on April 12, 2011 to stockholders of record on March 22, 2011.
 
  (h)   In November 2010, Navios Holdings agreed to exercise its option to purchase the Navios Astra for $20,972. The Navios Astra was delivered to Navios Holdings on February 21, 2011. As of December 31, 2010, Navios Holdings had paid a 10% deposit of purchase price for the acquisition of the Navios Astra amounting to $2,097 and the remaining amount of $18,800 was paid upon vessel’s delivery.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)
  (j)   On March 29, 2011, Navios Logistics agreed with Marfin Popular Bank to amend its current loan agreement with its subsidiary, Nauticler S.A., to provide for a $40,000 revolving credit facility. The proposed amended facility is expected to provide for the existing margin of 300 basis points and would be secured by mortgages on four tanker vessels or alternative security over other assets acceptable to the bank. The proposed amended facility will require compliance with customary covenants. The obligation of the bank under the proposed amended facility is subject to prepayment of the existing facility and is subject to customary conditions, such as the receipt of satisfactory appraisals, insurance, opinions and the negotiation, execution and delivery of mutually satisfactory loan documentation.
 
  (k)   On March 31, 2011, Navios Holdings announced that its majority owned subsidiary, Navios Logistics intends to offer through a private placement, subject to market and other conditions, approximately $185,000 of senior notes due 2019 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be offered and sold in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and in offshore transactions to non-United States persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. Navios Holdings is not acting as either an obligor or guarantor of the Notes in the offering.
 
      The Notes will be the senior unsecured obligations of Navios Logistics and will rank equal in right of payment to all of Navios Logistics’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and will rank senior in right of payment to all of Navios Logistics’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness. On the issue date of the Notes, Navios Logistics’ direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than certain identified subsidiaries, are expected to guarantee the Notes on an unsecured senior basis.
