Overview
General
Navios Partners is an international owner and operator of dry bulk vessels, formed in August
2007 by Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (Navios Holdings), a vertically integrated seaborne
shipping and logistics company with over 55 years of operating history in the dry bulk shipping
industry. Navios Partners completed its initial public offering (IPO) of 10,000,000 common units
and the concurrent sale of 500,000 common units to a corporation owned by Angeliki Frangou, Navios
Partners Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, on November 16, 2007. Navios Partners used the
proceeds of these sales of approximately $193.3 million, plus $160.0 million funded from its credit
facility, as subsequently amended (the Credit Facility) to acquire its initial fleet of vessels.
On May 27, 2011, Navios Partners entered into a facility agreement with Commerzbank AG and DVB
Bank SE (the May 2011 Credit Facility), and borrowed an amount of $35.0 million to partially
finance the acquisitions of the Navios Luz and the Navios Orbiter. The May 2011 Credit Facility has
a maturity of seven years and is repayable in 28 quarterly installments of $0.63 million each with
a final balloon payment of $17.5 million to be repaid on the last repayment date. The May 2011
Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 270 bps and also requires compliance with
certain financial covenants.
As of September 30, 2011, Navios Partners was in compliance with the financial covenants of
its credit facilities.
As of October 24, 2011, there were outstanding: 46,887,320 common units, 7,621,843
subordinated units, 1,000,000 subordinated Series A units and 1,132,843 general partnership units.
Navios Holdings owns a 27.1% interest in Navios Partners, which includes the 2% general partner
interest.

Fleet
Our fleet currently consists of eleven active Panamax vessels, six Capesize vessels and one
Ultra-Handymax vessel.
In general, our vessels operate under long-term time charters of three or more years at
inception with counterparties that we believe are creditworthy. Under certain circumstances, we
operate vessels in the spot market until the vessels have been fixed under appropriate long-term
charters.
The following table provides summary information about our fleet:

Our Charters
We generate revenues by charging our customers for the use of our vessels to transport their
dry bulk commodities. The vessels in our fleet are generally chartered-out under time charters,
which range in length from three to ten years at inception. Under certain circumstances, we operate
vessels in the spot market until the vessels have been fixed under appropriate long-term charters.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, we had 15 charter counterparties, the most
significant of which were Cosco Bulk Carrier, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd, Samsun Logix, STX Panocean
and Sanko Steamship Co., that accounted for approximately 21.8%, 19.1%, 12.4%, 8.5% and 7.3%,
respectively, of our total revenues. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, we had 12 charter
counterparties, the most significant of which were Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., Cargill International
S.A., Cosco Bulk Carrier Co, Ltd., Samsun Logix, Sanko Steamship Co. Ltd. and Constellation Energy,
which accounted for approximately 27.7%, 11.8%, 11.2%, 8.5%, 8.3% and 6.8%, respectively, of our
total revenues. We believe that the combination of the medium to long-term nature of our charters
(which provide for the receipt of a fixed fee for the life of the charter) and our management
agreement with Navios ShipManagement Inc. (the Manager), a wholly- owned subsidiary of Navios
Holdings (which provides for a fixed management fee until November 16, 2011), provides us with a
strong base of stable cash flows.
Our revenues are driven by the number of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which
the vessels operate and our charter hire rates, which, in turn, are affected by a number of
factors, including:
|
|
the duration of the charters; |
|
|
|
the level of spot and long-term market rates at the time of charter; |
|
|
|
decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals; |
|
|
|
the amount of time spent positioning vessels; |
|
|
|
the amount of time that vessels spend undergoing repairs and upgrades in dry dock; |
|
|
|
the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and |
|
|
|
the aggregate level of supply and demand in the dry bulk shipping industry. |
Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to
long-term which may be many years. In general, a long-term time charter provides the vessel owner
with a consistent stream of revenue. Operating the vessel in the spot market affords the owner
greater spot market opportunity, which may result in high rates when vessels are in high demand or
low rates when vessel availability exceeds demand. We intend to operate our vessels in the
long-term charter market. Please read Risk Factors in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a
discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.
Trends and Factors Affecting Our Future Results of Operations
We believe the principal factors that will affect our future results of operations are the
economic, regulatory, political and governmental conditions that affect the shipping industry
generally and that affect conditions in countries and markets in which our vessels engage in
business, marine accidents and other operational matters. Please read Risk Factors in our 2010
Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

Period over Period Comparisons
For the Three Month Period ended September 30, 2011 compared to the Three Month Period ended
September 30, 2010
Time charter revenues: Time charter revenues for the three month period ended September 30,
2011 increased by $9.9 million or 26.0% to $48.0 million, as compared to $38.1 million for the same
period in 2010. The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisition of the Navios Fulvia and
the Navios Melodia on November 15, 2010 and the Navios Luz and the Navios Orbiter on May 19, 2011.
As a result of the vessel acquisitions, available days of the fleet
increased to 1,656 days for the
three month period ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 1,270 days for the three month period
ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was partially offset by the decrease of $3.8
million incurred due to unscheduled off hires. The time charter equivalent (TCE) decreased to
$28,992 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, from $29,978 for the three month
period ended September 30, 2010.
Time charter expenses: Time charter expenses for the three month period ended September 30,
2011 increased by $0.5 million or 16.7% to $3.5 million, as compared to $3.0 million for the same
period in 2010. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the brokers commission by $0.3
million and increase in other expenses by $0.2 million.
Management fees: Management fees for the three month period ended September 30, 2011,
increased by $1.9 million or 36.5% to $7.1 million, as compared to $5.2 million for the same period

Navios Melodia on November 15, 2010 and the Navios Luz and the Navios Orbiter on May 19, 2011.

million or 20.0% to $1.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, as compared
to $1.0 million for the same period of 2010. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase
in administrative expenses paid to the Manager due to the increased number of vessels in Navios
Partners fleet.
Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager provides administrative
services and is reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with these
services. Navios Partners extended the duration of its existing Administrative Services Agreement
with the Manager pursuant to the same terms, until December 31, 2017. For the three month periods
ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the expenses charged by the Manager for administrative fees were
$0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The balance of $0.3 million of general and
administrative expenses for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010,
relate to legal and professional fees, as well as audit fees and directors fees.
Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization amounted to $17.2 million for the
three month period ended September 30, 2011 compared to $11.0 million for the three month period
ended September 30, 2010. The increase of $6.2 million was attributable to: (a) an increase in
depreciation expense of $2.1 million due to the acquisitions of the Navios Fulvia and the Navios
Melodia on November 15, 2010 and the acquisitions of the Navios Orbiter and the Navios Luz on May
19, 2011; and (b) an increase in amortization expense of $4.1 million due to the favorable and
unfavorable lease terms that were recognized in relation to the acquisition of the rights on the
time charter-out contracts of the vessels.
Interest expense and finance cost, net: Interest expense and finance cost, net for the three
month period ended September 30, 2011 increased by $0.5 million or 26.3% to $2.4 million, as
compared to $1.9 million in the same period of 2010. The increase was due to: (a) the increase in
average outstanding loan balance to $338.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011
from $271.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010; and (b) the higher weighted
average interest rate of 2.59% for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to
2.54% for the same period in 2010. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the outstanding loan balance
under Navios Partners credit facilities was $334.0 million and $271.5 million, respectively.
Interest income: Interest income decreased by $0.1 million to $0.12 million for the three
month period ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $0.22 million for the same period of 2010.

the three month period ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period of 2010.
Net income: Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $16.6 million
compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in net income
of $0.3 million was due to the factors discussed above.
Operating surplus: Navios Partners generated operating surplus for the three month period
ended September 30, 2011 of $29.4 million, compared to $23.7 million for the three month period
ended September 30, 2010. Operating Surplus is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain
investors to measure the financial performance of Navios Partners and other master limited
partnerships (See Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Cash from Operating Activities, Operating
Surplus and Available Cash for Distribution contained herein).
Seasonality: Since Navios Partners vessels operate under medium to long-term charters, the
results of operations are not generally subject to the effect of seasonable variations in demand.
For the Nine Month Period ended September 30, 2011 compared to the Nine Month Period ended
September 30, 2010
Time charter revenues: Time charter revenues for the nine month period ended September 30,
2011 increased by $35.8 million or 35.6% to $136.5 million, as compared to $100.7 million for the

on January 8, 2010, the Navios Sagittarius on January 12, 2010, the Navios Aurora II on March 18,
2010, the Navios Pollux on May 21, 2010, the Navios Fulvia and the Navios Melodia on November 15,

September 30, 2011, as compared to 3,498 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.
The increase in revenue was partially offset by the decrease of $6.9 million incurred due to
unscheduled off hires. The time charter equivalent (TCE) increased to $29,646 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2011, from $28,801 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.
Time charter expenses: Time charter expenses for the nine month period ended September 30,
2011 increased by $0.9 million or 10.2% to $9.7 million, as compared to $8.8 million for the same

and increase in hold cleaning expenses by $0.1 million.
8

by $5.5 million or 39.0% to $19.6 million, as compared to $14.1 million for the same period in

month period ended September 30, 2011 increased by $1.8 million or 39.1% to $6.4 million, as

AG and DVB Bank AG (the Lenders) which was amended in June 2008, in part, to increase the
available borrowings by $35.0 million, in anticipation of purchasing the Navios Hope, thereby
increasing the total facility to $295.0 million.
On January 11, 2010, March 30, 2010 and June 1, 2010, Navios Partners entered into further

On December 15, 2010, Navios Partners borrowed an additional amount of $50.0 million under a
new tranche to its Credit Facility to partially finance the acquisitions of the Navios Melodia and

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011
as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2010:
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $30.8 million to $96.1 million for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $65.3 million for the same period in
2010.
Net income increased by $4.6 million to $46.7 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2011, from $42.1 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. In
determining net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30,
2011, net income was adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items, including depreciation and
amortization of $46.8 million, a $4.0 million write-off of intangible assets, $0.4 million
amortization of deferred financing cost and $0.05 million amortization of deferred dry dock costs.
For the period ended September 30, 2010, net income was also adjusted for the effects of certain
non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $28.7 million, $0.3 million amortization
and write-off of deferred financing cost, and $0.08 million amortization of deferred dry dock
costs.
10
Amounts due to related parties increased by $6.8 million, from $2.6 million at December 31,
2010, to $9.4 million at September 30, 2011. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in
accrued management fees and accrued administrative
expenses by $4.6 million and an increase in other payables due to affiliated companies by $2.2
million.
Accounts receivable increased by $5.0 million, from $0.9 million at December 31, 2010, to $5.9
million at September 30, 2011 due to the increase in amounts due from charterers. The increase of
accounts receivables, net as of September 30, 2011, compared to December 31, 2010, is mainly
attributable to one of Navios Partners charterers having delayed hire payments during the third
quarter but has since resumed making payments to Navios Partners.
Deferred voyage revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being
earned. Deferred voyage revenue, net of commissions decreased by $5.9 million from $21.6 million at
December 31, 2010 to $15.7 million at September 30, 2011. Out of the $15.7 million at September 30,
2011, the amounts of $6.8 million and $5.9 million represent the short and long term portion,
respectively, of unamortized deferred revenue received from the counterparty to the Navios Hope.
Accounts payable increased by $1.2 million, from $1.1 million at December 31, 2010, to $2.3
million at September 30, 2011. The increase was attributed to the increase in accounts payable by
$0.9 million and the increase in brokers commissions payable by $0.4 million, partially offset by
the decrease in professional and legal fees payable by $0.1 million.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $0.5 million, from $2.6 million at
December 31, 2010, to $2.1 million at September 30, 2011.
Accrued expenses increased by $0.5 million from $1.9 million at December 31, 2010 to $2.4
million at September 30, 2011. The primary reasons for the increase were an increase in accrued
voyage expenses by $0.3 million and an increase in accrued loan interest by $0.4 million partially
offset by a decrease in other accrued expenses by $0.2 million.
Other long term assets decreased by $0.1 million, from $0.2 million at December 31, 2010, to
$0.1 million at September 30, 2011.
Cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 as
compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2010:
Net cash used in investing activities was $120.0 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2011 as compared to $285.8 million for the same period in 2010.
On May 19, 2011, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the Navios Luz, for a purchase
price of $78.0 million, and the Navios Orbiter, for a purchase price of $52.0 million. The purchase
price for the two vessels consisted of the issuance of 507,916 common units to Navios Holdings and
cash of $120.0 million. Favorable lease terms recognized through this transaction amounted to $22.9
million for the Navios Luz and $20.9 million for the Navios Orbiter and were related to the
acquisition of the rights on the time charter-out contracts of the vessels. The amounts of $55.1
million for the Navios Luz and the amount of $31.1 million for the Navios Orbiter were classified
under vessels, net.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 as
compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2010:
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $165.6 million to $22.1 million for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $187.7 million for the same period in
2010.
Cash provided by financing activities of $22.1 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2011 was due to: (a) $86.3 million proceeds from the issuance of 4,600,000 common
units in April 2011, net of offering costs; (b) $2.0 million from the issuance of additional
general partnership units; and (c) proceeds of $35.0 million on May 27, 2011, under the May 2011
Credit Facility. This overall increase was partially offset by: (a) loan repayments of $22.5
million; (b) payment of $0.4 million financing costs relating to the May 2011 Credit Facility of
$35.0 million; (c) payment of a total cash distribution of $70.7 million; and (d) increase of $7.7
million in restricted cash related to the amounts held in retention account in order to service
debt payments and amounts held in pledged account as required by Navios Partners credit
facilities.

EBITDA represents net income plus interest and finance costs plus depreciation and
amortization and income taxes. EBITDA is included because it is used by certain investors to
measure a companys financial performance. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not
be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations
or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
Navios Partners believes EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Navios
Partners ability to satisfy its obligations including debt service, capital expenditures, working
capital requirements and determination of cash distribution. While EBITDA is frequently used as a
measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of
EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in
methods of calculation.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, represents
EBITDA plus the non-cash charge for the write-off of the intangible asset associated with the
Navios Apollon charter-out contract.
Navios Partners believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating Navios Partners
performance and liquidity position because the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates
the accounting effect of one-off items.
EBITDA increased by $7.0 million to $36.0 million for the three month period ended
September 30, 2011, as compared to $29.0 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in
EBITDA was due to a $9.9 million increase in revenue following the acquisitions of the
Navios Melodia and the Navios Fulvia in November 2010 and the Navios Luz and the Navios Orbiter in
May 2011. The above increase was partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in management fees, a
$0.5 million increase in time charter expenses and a $0.5 million increase in administrative and
other expenses as a result of the increased number of vessels in Navios Partners fleet.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $28.3 million to $103.2 million for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2011, as compared to $74.9 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in
Adjusted EBITDA was due to a $35.8 million increase in revenue following the acquisitions of the
Navios Hyperion and the Navios Sagittarius in January 2010, the Navios Aurora II in March 2010, the
Navios Pollux in May 2010, the Navios Melodia and the Navios Fulvia in November 2010 and the Navios
Luz and the Navios Orbiter in May 2011. The above increase was partially offset by a $5.5 million
increase in management fees, a $0.9 million increase in time
charter expenses and a $1.1 million
increase in administrative and other expenses as a result of the increased number of vessels in
Navios Partners fleet.
Operating Surplus
Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense,
non-cash interest expense and estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures.
Maintenance and replacement capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to
maintain over the long term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, Navios
Partners capital assets and are subject to periodic revenue and change by the board of directors
of Navios Partners at least once a year, provided that any change must be approved by the conflicts
committee of our board of directors.
Operating Surplus is a quantitative measure used in the publicly traded partnership investment
community to assist in evaluating a partnerships ability to make quarterly cash distributions.
Operating Surplus is not required by US GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net
income or any other indicator of Navios Partners performance required by US GAAP.

Available Cash for Distribution
Available Cash generally means, for each fiscal quarter, all cash on hand at the end of the
quarter:
|
|
|
less the amount of cash reserves established by the board of directors to: |
|
▶ |
|
provide for the proper conduct of Navios Partners business (including reserve for
maintenance and replacement capital expenditures); |
|
|
▶ |
|
comply with applicable law, any of Navios Partners debt instruments, or other agreements; or |
|
|
▶ |
|
provide funds for distributions to the unitholders and to the general partner for any one or
more of the next four quarters; |
|
|
|
plus all cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash
for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after
the end of the quarter. Working capital borrowings are generally
borrowings that are made under any revolving credit or similar
agreement used solely for working capital purposes or to pay
distributions to partners. |
Available Cash is a quantitative measure used in the publicly traded partnership investment
community to assist in evaluating a partnerships ability to make quarterly cash distributions.
Available Cash is not required by US GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net
income or any other indicator of Navios Partners performance required by US GAAP.
Borrowings
Navios Partners long-term third party borrowings are reflected in its balance sheet as
Long-term debt. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, long-term debt amounted to $302.3
million and $292.3 million, respectively. The current portion of long-term debt amounted to $31.7
million and $29.2 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Capital Expenditures
Navios Partners finances its capital expenditures with cash flow from operations, owners
contribution, equity raising and bank borrowings. Capital expenditures both for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2011 was $0 and $120.0 million, respectively, whereas for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 was $0 and $285.8 million, respectively, and
related to the acquisition of vessels and intangible assets (see Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows on page F-4). The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital
expenditures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 was $4.8 million and
$13.7 million, respectively. The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital
expenditures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 was $3.8 million and
$10.7 million, respectively.
Maintenance for vessels and expenses related to dry docking are included in the fee Navios
Partners pays the Manager under its management agreement. Navios Partners pays the Manager a daily
fee of: (a) $4,400 per owned Panamax vessel; (b) $5,500 per owned Capesize vessel; and (c) $4,500
per owned Ultra-Handymax vessel, which is fixed until November 16, 2011, to provide such commercial
and technical services to the vessels in its fleet. The fee Navios Partners pays to the Manager
includes any costs associated with scheduled dry dockings during the term of the management
agreement.
Replacement Reserve
We estimate that our annual replacement reserve for the year ending December 31, 2011, will be
approximately $18.6 million, for replacing our vessels at the end of their useful lives.
The amount for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures attributable to
future vessel replacement was based on the following assumptions: (i) current market price to
purchase a five year old vessel of similar size and specifications; (ii) a 25-year useful life; and
(iii) a relative net investment rate.
Our Board of Directors, with the approval of the conflicts committee, may determine that one
or more of our assumptions should be revised, which could cause our Board of Directors to increase
or decrease the amount of estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. The actual
cost of replacing the vessels in our fleet will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing
market conditions, charter hire rates and the availability and cost of financing at the time of
replacement. We may elect to finance some or all or our maintenance and replacement capital
expenditures through the issuance of additional common units which could be dilutive to existing
unitholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Navios Partners has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have, a current or future material effect on its financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources.

These amounts reflect future minimum commitments under
charter-in contracts, net of commissions. As of
September 30, 2011, Navios Partners had entered into
charter-in agreements for two of its vessels (the
Navios Prosperity and the Navios Aldebaran). The Navios
Prosperity is a chartered-in vessel until June 2014 for
seven years with options to extend for two one-year
periods. Navios Partners has the option to purchase the
Navios Prosperity after June 2012 at a purchase price
that is initially 3.8 billion Japanese Yen ($49.6
million based on the exchange rate at September 30,
2011), declining pro rata each year by 145 million
Japanese Yen ($1.9 million based on the exchange rate
at September 30, 2011). The Navios Aldebaran is a
chartered-in vessel for seven years until March 2015
with options to extend for two one-year periods. Navios
Partners has the option to purchase the Navios
Aldebaran after March 2013 at a purchase price that is
initially 3.6 billion Japanese Yen ($47.0 million based
on the exchange rate at September 30, 2011) declining
pro rata each year by 150 million Japanese Yen ($2.0
million based on the exchange rate at September 30,
2011). |

Available days for the fleet represent total calendar
days the vessels were in Navios Partners possession
for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days
associated with scheduled repairs, dry dockings or
special surveys. The shipping industry uses available
days to measure the number of days in a relevant period
during which a vessel is capable of generating
revenues. |
14
|
|
|
(2) |
|
Operating days is the number of available days in the
relevant period less the aggregate number of days that
the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including
unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses
operating days to measure the aggregate number of days
in a relevant period during which vessels actually
generate revenues. |
|
(3) |
|
Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios
Partners vessels were available for revenue generating
available days, and is determined by dividing the
number of operating days during a relevant period by
the number of available days during that period. The
shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure
efficiency in finding employment for vessels and
minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are
off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs, dry
dockings or special surveys. |
|
(4) |
|
TCE rates: TCE rates are defined as voyage and time
charter revenues less voyage expenses during a period
divided by the number of available days during the
period. The TCE rate is a standard shipping industry
performance measure used primarily to present the
actual daily earnings generated by vessels on various
types of charter contracts for the number of available
days of the fleet. |
Cash Distribution Policy
Rationale for Our Cash Distribution Policy
Our cash distribution policy reflects a basic judgment that our unitholders are better served
by distributing our cash available (after deducting expenses, including estimated maintenance and
replacement capital expenditures and reserves) rather than retaining it. Because we believe we will
generally finance any expansion capital expenditures from external financing sources or through
equity raising, we believe that our investors are best served by our distributing our available
cash. Our cash distribution policy is consistent with the terms of our partnership agreement, which
requires that we distribute all of our available cash quarterly (after deducting expenses,
including estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures and reserves).
Limitations on Cash Distributions and Our Ability to Change Our Cash Distribution Policy
There is no guarantee that unitholders will receive quarterly distributions from us. Our
distribution policy is subject to certain restrictions and may be changed at any time.
Our ability to make distributions to our unitholders depends on the performance of our
subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make
distributions to us may be restricted by, among other things, the provisions of existing and future
indebtedness, applicable partnership and limited liability company laws and other laws and
regulations.
Minimum Quarterly Distribution
We intend to distribute to the holders of common units and subordinated units on a quarterly
basis at least the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit, or $1.40 per unit per year, to
the extent we have sufficient cash on hand to pay the distribution after we establish cash reserves
and pay fees and expenses. The amount of available cash from Operating Surplus needed to pay the
minimum quarterly distribution for four quarters on all units outstanding (excluding subordinated
Series A units) and the related distribution on the 2.0% general partner interest is approximately
$77.9 million. There is no guarantee that we will pay the minimum quarterly distribution on the
common units and subordinated units in any quarter. Even if our cash distribution policy is not
modified or revoked, the amount of distributions paid under our policy and the decision to make any
distribution is determined by our board of directors, taking into consideration the terms of our
partnership agreement. We are prohibited from making any distributions to unitholders if it would
cause an event of default, or an event of default exists, under our existing credit agreements.
On January 21, 2011, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash
distribution for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 of $0.43 per unit. The distribution
was paid on February 14, 2011 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner
units (not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on February 9, 2011. The aggregate
amount of the paid distribution was $21.9 million.
On April 18, 2011, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash
distribution for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 of $0.43 per unit. The distribution
was paid on May 11, 2011 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units
(not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on May 5, 2011. The aggregate amount of the
paid distribution was $23.9 million.
On July 25, 2011, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash
distribution for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 of $0.44 per unit. The distribution was
paid on August 11, 2011 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units
(not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on August 5, 2011. The aggregate amount of
the paid distribution was $24.8 million.
15
On October 21, 2011, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash
distribution for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 of $0.44 per unit. The
distribution is payable on November 11, 2011 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and
general partner units (not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on November 8, 2011.
The aggregate amount of the declared distribution is anticipated to be $24.8 million.
Subordination period
During the subordination period, the common units have the right to receive distributions of
available cash from Operating Surplus in an amount equal to the minimum quarterly distribution of
$0.35 per unit, plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the
common units from prior quarters, before any distributions of available cash from Operating Surplus
may be made on the subordinated units (other than the subordinated Series A units). Distribution
arrearages do not accrue on the subordinated units. The purpose of the subordinated units is to
increase the likelihood that during the subordination period there will be available cash to be
distributed on the common units.
Incentive Distribution Rights
Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of
quarterly distributions of available cash from Operating Surplus after the minimum quarterly
distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. Our general partner currently
holds the incentive distribution rights, but may transfer these rights separately from its general
partner interest, subject to restrictions in the partnership agreement. Except for transfers of
incentive distribution rights to an affiliate or another entity as part of our general partners
merger or consolidation with or into, or sale of substantially all of its assets to such entity,
the approval of a majority of our common units (excluding common units held by our general partner
and its affiliates), voting separately as a class, generally is required for a transfer of the
incentive distribution rights to a third party prior to December 31, 2017.
The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of the additional available cash
from Operating Surplus among the unitholders and our general partner up to the various target
distribution levels. The amounts set forth under Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
are the percentage interests of the unitholders and our general partner in any available cash from
Operating Surplus we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column Total
Quarterly Distribution Target Amount, until available cash from Operating Surplus we distribute
reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The percentage interests shown for the
unitholders and our general partner for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to
quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The
percentage interests shown for our general partner assume that our general partner maintains its
2.0% general partner interest and assume our general partner has not transferred the incentive
distribution rights.

include bookkeeping, audit and accounting services, legal and insurance services, administrative
and clerical services, banking and financial services, advisory services, client and investor
relations and other. The Manager is reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the provision of these services.
16
Total general and administrative expenses charged by Navios Holdings for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2011 amounted to $0.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Total general and administrative expenses charged by Navios Holdings for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $0.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Balance due to related parties: Included in the current liabilities as of September 30, 2011
was an amount of $9.4 million, which represented the current account payable to Navios Holdings and
its subsidiaries. The balance consisted mainly of the management fees outstanding which amounted to
$7.1 million and administrative service fees which amounted to $0.9 million and an amount due from
the Manager which amounted to $1.4 million. Amounts due to related parties as of December 31, 2010
was $2.6 million.
Vessel Acquisitions: On January 8, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the
Navios Hyperion for a purchase price of $63.0 million paid in cash. Favorable lease terms
recognized through this transaction amounted to $30.7 million and were related to the acquisition
of the rights on the time charter out contract of the vessel.
On March 18, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the Navios Aurora II for a
purchase price of $110.0 million. Favorable lease terms recognized through this transaction
amounted to $42.5 million and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time charter out
contract of the vessel. The purchase price of the vessel consisted of 1,174,219 common units of
Navios Partners issued to Navios Holdings and cash of $90.0 million. The common units were issued
at $17.0326 per common unit, which reflects the NYSEs volume weighted average price of the common
units for the five business day period immediately prior to the date of the acquisition of the
vessel.
On May 21, 2010, Navios Partners purchased from Navios Holdings the Navios Pollux for a
purchase price of $110.0 million, paid in cash. Favorable lease terms recognized through this
transaction amounted to $38.0 million and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time
charter out contract of the vessel.
On November 15, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the Navios Melodia, for a
purchase price of $78.8 million, and the Navios Fulvia, for a purchase price of $98.2 million.
Favorable lease terms recognized through this transaction amounted to $13.8 million for the Navios
Melodia and $31.2 million for the Navios Fulvia and were related to the acquisition of the rights
on the time charter-out contracts of the vessels. The purchase price for the two vessels consisted
of the issuance of 788,370 common units to Navios Holdings and cash of $162.0 million. The number
of common units issued was calculated based on a price of $19.0266 per common unit, which was the
NYSE volume weighted average trading price of the common units for the ten business day period
immediately prior to the date of the acquisition of the vessels.
On May 19, 2011, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the Navios Luz, for a purchase
price of $78.0 million, and the Navios Orbiter, for a purchase price of $52.0 million. Favorable
lease terms recognized through this transaction amounted to $22.9 million for the Navios Luz and
$20.9 million for the Navios Orbiter and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time
charter-out contracts of the vessels. The purchase price for the two vessels consisted of the
issuance of 507,916 common units valued at $9,960 to Navios Holdings and cash of $120.0 million.
The number of common units issued was calculated based on a price of $19.6883 per common unit,
which was the NYSE volume weighted average trading price of the common units for the ten business
day period immediately prior to the date of the acquisition of the vessel. For accounting purposes,
the transaction was valued based on the closing price of the day of the transaction, which was
$19.61.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Foreign Exchange Risk
Our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We engage in worldwide commerce with
a variety of entities. Although our operations may expose us to certain levels of foreign currency
risk, our transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other
than U.S. dollars are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction.
Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a
foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are
recognized.
Interest Rate Risk
Borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at rate based on a premium over U.S.$
LIBOR. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk that our interest expense may increase if interest
rates rise. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011,
we paid interest on
our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 2.42%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would
have increased our interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 by $2.4
million. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, we paid interest on our outstanding
debt at a weighted average interest rate of 2.33%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our
interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 by $1.8 million.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit
risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable. We closely monitor our exposure to
customers for credit risk. We have policies in place to ensure that we trade with customers with an
appropriate credit history. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, we had 15 charter
counterparties, the most significant of which were Cosco Bulk Carrier, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd,
Samsun Logix, STX Panocean and Sanko Steamship Co., that accounted for approximately 21.8%, 19.1%,
12.4%, 8.5% and 7.3%, respectively, of our total revenues. For the fiscal year ended December 31,
2010, we had 12 charter counterparties, the most significant of which were Mitsui O.S.K. Lines,
Ltd., Cargill International S.A., Cosco Bulk Carrier Co., Ltd., Samsun Logix, Sanko Steamship Co.
Ltd. and Constellation Energy, which accounted for approximately 27.7%, 11.8%, 11.2%, 8.5%, 8.3%
and 6.8%, respectively, of our total revenues. Although we do not obtain rights to collateral, we
maintain counterparty insurance which we re-assess on a quarterly basis to help reduce our credit
risk.
17
It is our policy not to trade any other financial instruments that would potentially expose us
to significant concentrations of credit risk.
Inflation
Inflation has had a minimal impact on vessel operating expenses, dry docking expenses and
general and administrative expenses. Our management does not consider inflation to be a significant
risk to direct expenses in the current and foreseeable economic environment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Disclosures
In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards 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 Partners adopted the new guidance in the first
quarter of fiscal 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and
settlements, which was effective for Navios Partners beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
The amendment will be adopted by Navios Partners effective beginning in the first quarter of 2012.
The adoption of the new standards did not have a significant impact on Navios Partners
consolidated financial statements.
Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, the FASB issued an update in the presentation of comprehensive income. According
to the update an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components
of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous
statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The statement of
other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the
components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a
total for comprehensive income. Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive
income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the entity
is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for
items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where
the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The
amendments in this Update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive
income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. For public
entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the
amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The
amendment will be adopted by Navios Partners effective beginning in the first quarter of 2012. The
adoption of the new amendments is not expected to have a significant impact on Navios Partners
consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill Impairment guidance
In September 2011, the FASB issued an Update to simplify how entities, both public and
nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the Update permit an entity to first
assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount on a basis for determining whether it is necessary
to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not
threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments are effective
for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted including for annual and interim impairment tests
performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most
recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet
been made available for issuance. The adoption of the new amendments is not expected to have a
significant impact on Navios Partners consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of
these financial statements requires us to make estimates in the application of our accounting
policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. Following is a
discussion of the accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and the methods of
their application that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial
statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
18
Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties,
and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
For a description of all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Notes to the
consolidated financial statements included in Navios Partners 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
Vessels, other fixed assets and other long lived assets held and used by Navios Partners 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 the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, Navios Partners management
evaluates the carrying amounts and periods over which long-lived assets are depreciated to
determine if events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would require modification to
their carrying values or useful lives. In evaluating useful lives and carrying values of long-lived
assets, certain indicators of potential impairment, are reviewed such as undiscounted projected
operating cash flows, vessel sales and purchases, business plans and overall market conditions.
Undiscounted projected net operating cash flows are determined for each vessel and compared to the
vessel carrying value. In the event that impairment occurred, the fair value of the related asset
is determined and a charge is recorded to operations calculated by comparing the assets carrying
value to its fair value. Fair value is estimated primarily through the use of third-party
valuations performed on an individual vessel basis.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, management of Navios Partners, 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, has no reason to suspect that a
long-lived asset may not be recoverable and therefore did not test for impairment of its long-lived
assets.
Although management believes the underlying indicators supporting this assessment are
reasonable, if charter rate trends and the length of the current market downturn vary significantly
from our forecasts, management may be required to perform impairment analysis in the future that
could expose Navios Partners to material impairment charges in the future.
Vessels
Vessels are stated at historical cost, which consists of the contract price and any material
expenses incurred upon acquisition (improvements and delivery expenses). Vessels acquired in an
asset acquisition are recorded at cost to acquire, and vessels acquired in a business combination
are recorded at fair value. Subsequent expenditures for major improvements and upgrading are
capitalized, provided they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve
the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the useful life of the vessels,
after considering the estimated residual value. Management estimates the residual values of our dry
bulk vessels based on a scrap value of $285 per lightweight ton, as we believe these levels are
common in the shipping industry. Management estimates the useful life of our vessels to be 25 years
from the vessels 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.
Intangible assets
Navios Partners intangible assets and liabilities consist of favorable lease terms and
unfavorable lease terms. 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 its vessels and its 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
Navios Partners 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 their fair market values 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. If the purchase option is exercised the 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. As of September 30, 2011, there was no impairment of intangible assets.
19
Deferred Dry Dock and Special Survey Costs
Our vessels are subject to regularly scheduled
dry docking and special surveys which are carried out every 30 or 60 months 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. Under the terms of
our management agreement with the Manager, the costs of dry docking and special surveys are included in the daily management fee of $4,500
per owned Ultra-Handymax vessel, $4,400 per owned Panamax vessel and $5,500 per owned Capesize vessel and are therefore expensed as
incurred. In October 2011, we extended the duration of our existing management agreement with the Manager until December 31, 2017
and fixed the rate for shipmanagement services of our owned fleet at $4,650 daily rate per Ultra-Handymax vessel, $4,550 daily rate per
Panamax vessel and $5,650 daily rate per Capesize vessel through December 31, 2013. From January 2014 to December 2017, we expect that we
will reimburse the Manager for all of the actual operating costs and expenses it incurs in connection with the management of our fleet.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recorded when services are rendered, we have a signed charter agreement or other
evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably
assured. We generate revenue from time charter of vessels.
Revenues from time chartering of vessels are accounted for as operating leases and are thus
recognized on a straight line basis as the average revenue over the rental periods of such charter
agreements, as service is performed. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterers
disposal for a period of time during which the charterer uses the vessel in return for the payment
of a specified daily hire rate. Under time charters, operating costs such as for crews, maintenance
and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.
Revenues from profit-sharing are calculated at an agreed percentage of the excess of the
charterers average daily income over an agreed amount and accounted for on an accrual basis based
on provisional amounts.
Revenues are recorded net of address commissions. Address commissions represent a discount
provided directly to the charterers based on a fixed percentage of the agreed upon charter rate.
Since address commissions represent a discount (sales incentive) on services rendered by Navios
Partners and no identifiable benefit is received in exchange for the consideration provided to the
charterer, these commissions are presented as a reduction of revenue.

For each of the vessels purchased from Navios Holdings to date, the vessel acquisition
was effected through the acquisition of all of the capital stock of the vessel-owning companies,
which held the ownership and other contractual rights and obligations related to each of the
acquired vessels, including the vessel and a charter-out contract. Management accounted for each
acquisition as an asset acquisition. At the transaction date, the purchase price approximated the
fair value of the assets acquired, which was determined based on a combination of methodologies
including discounted cash flow analyses and independent valuation analyses. The consideration paid,
for each of these transactions, was allocated between the intangible assets (favorable lease term)
and the vessel value.
On May 19, 2011, Navios Partners purchased from Navios Holdings the Navios Luz for a purchase
price of $78,000 and the Navios Orbiter for a purchase price of $52,000. The purchase price
consisted of 507,916 common units issued to Navios Holdings valued at $9,960 and cash of $120,000.
The number of common units issued was calculated based on a price of $19.6883 per common unit,
which was the NYSE volume weighted average trading price of the common units for the ten business
days immediately prior to the date of the acquisition. For accounting purposes, the common units
were valued based on the closing price on the day of the transaction, which was $19.61. Favorable
lease terms recognized through this transaction amounted to $22,879 for the Navios Luz and $20,901
for the Navios Orbiter and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time charter out
contract of the vessels (see note 5). The amounts of $55,097 for the Navios Luz and the amount of
$31,083 for the Navios Orbiter were classified under vessels, net.

On May 19, 2011, Navios Partners purchased from Navios Holdings, the Navios Luz, a 2010
built Capesize vessel and the Navios Orbiter, a 2004 built Panamax vessel. Favorable lease terms
recognized through this transaction amounted to $22,879 for the Navios Luz and $20,901 for the
Navios Orbiter and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time charter-out contracts
of the vessels (see note 4).
The Navios Apollon was off-hire due to an engine breakdown and therefore the charter-out
contract was terminated. The net book value of the favorable lease term that was attached to the
time charter-out contract was $3,979 and was written-off in the statement of income.
Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized using straight line method over their
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual value of zero. The weighted average useful lives
are 7.7 years for favorable lease terms charter out.
NOTE 6 DEFERRED VOYAGE REVENUE
Deferred voyage revenue primarily reflects charter-out amounts collected on voyages that have
not yet been completed. In addition, in January 2009, Navios Partners and its counterparty to the
Navios Hope charter party mutually agreed for a lump sum amount of approximately $30,443, of which
Navios Partners received net of expenses in the amount of $29,589 in February 2009. Under a new
charter agreement, the balance of the aggregate value of the original contract is allocated to the
period until its original expiration. The amount of $30,443 has been recognized as deferred revenue
and amortized over the life of the vessels contract in August 2013. As of September 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, the deferred voyage revenue of $15,748 and $21,567, respectively, included the
unamortized amount of the lump sum amount related to the Navios Hope of $12,683 and $17,754,
respectively. As of September 30, 2011, the current and long-term portion of the lump sum amount
was $6,762 and $5,921, respectively.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit prices and amounts)
On December 15, 2010, Navios Partners borrowed an additional amount of $50,000 under a new
tranche to its Credit Facility to partially finance the acquisitions of the Navios Melodia and the
Navios Fulvia. This amendment provides for, among other things, a new margin from 1.65% to 1.95%
depending on the loan to value ratio and a repayment schedule that began in February 2011.
On May 27, 2011, Navios Partners entered into an additional credit facility with Commerzbank
AG and DVB Bank SE (the May 2011 Credit Facility) and borrowed an amount of $35,000 to finance
the acquisitions of the Navios Luz and the Navios Orbiter. The facility has a maturity of seven
years and is repayable in 28 quarterly installments of $625 each with a final balloon payment of
$17,500 to be repaid on the last repayment date. It bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 270 bps.
The loan also requires compliance with certain financial covenants.
On September 30, 2011 Navios Partners amended its Credit Facility by adding new guarantors and
providing for a minimum of $5,000 to be kept in a pledged account with the Lenders.
As of September 30, 2011, the total borrowings under the credit facilities were $333,975. As
of September 30, 2011, Navios Partners was in compliance with the financial covenants of its credit
facilities.

NOTE 8 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value amounts of many of Navios Partners financial instruments, including cash
and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and amounts due to
related parties approximate their fair value due primarily to the short-term maturity of the
related 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.
Borrowings: The carrying amount of the floating rate loans approximates its fair value.
The estimated fair values of the Navios Partners financial instruments are as follows:

NOTE 9 ISSUANCE OF UNITS
On April 13, 2011, Navios Partners completed its public offering of 4,000,000 common units at
$19.68 per unit and raised gross proceeds of approximately $78,720 to fund its fleet expansion. The
net proceeds of this offering, including the underwriting discount and excluding offering costs of
$161 were approximately $75,178. Pursuant to this offering, Navios
Partners issued 81,633 additional general partnership units to the General Partner.
F-10
NAVIOS MARITIME PARTNERS L.P.
UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit prices and amounts)
The net proceeds from the issuance of
the general partnership units were $1,607. On the same date, Navios Partners completed the exercise
of the overallotment option previously granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering
and issued 600,000 additional common units at the public offering price less the underwriting
discount, raising gross proceeds of $11,808 and net proceeds, including the underwriting discount,
of approximately $11,277. As a result of the exercise of the overallotment option, Navios Partners
issued 12,245 additional general partnership units to the General Partner. The net proceeds from
the issuance of the general partnership units were $241.
On May 19, 2011, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the Navios Luz for a purchase
price of $78,000 and the Navios Orbiter for a purchase price of $52,000. The purchase price
consisted of 507,916 common units of Navios Partners issued to Navios Holdings and cash of
$120,000. The number of the common units issued was calculated based on a price of $19.6883 per
common unit, which was the NYSE volume weighted average trading price of the common units for the
ten business days immediately prior to the date of the acquisition. For accounting purposes, the
common units were valued based on the closing price on the day of the transaction, which was
$19.61. Navios Partners issued 10,366 additional general partnership units to the General Partner.
The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $204 (see Note 4).
NOTE 10 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Navios Partners reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter
revenues. Navios Partners does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results
for each type of charter. As a result, management reviews operating results solely by revenue per
day and operating results of the fleet and thus Navios Partners has determined that it operates
under one reportable segment.
The following table sets out operating revenue by geographic region for Navios Partners
reportable segment. Revenue is allocated on the basis of the geographic region in which the
customer is located. Dry bulk vessels operate worldwide. Revenues from specific geographic region
which contribute over 10% of total revenue are disclosed separately.

Vessels operate on a worldwide basis and are not restricted to specific locations.
Accordingly, it is not possible to allocate the assets of these operations to specific countries.
NOTE 11 INCOME TAXES
Marshall Islands, Malta, Liberia and Panama do not impose a tax on international shipping
income. Under the laws of Marshall Islands, Malta, Liberia and Panama, the countries of the
vessel-owning subsidiaries incorporation and vessels registration, the vessel-owning subsidiaries
are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in management fees in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Pursuant to Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, 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
vessel-owning subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria. In addition, these companies must meet
an ownership test. The management of Navios Partners believes that this ownership test was
satisfied prior to the IPO by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship
operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company. Although not free from
doubt, management also believes that the ownership test is satisfied based on the trading volume
and ownership of Navios Partners units, but no assurance can be given that this will remain so in
the future.

NOTE 12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Navios Partners is involved in various disputes and arbitration proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. Provisions have been recognized in the financial statements for all
such proceedings where Navios Partners 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.
In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not adversely
affect Navios Partners financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In January 2011, Korea Line Corporation (KLC) which is the charterer of the Navios Melodia,
filed for receivership. The charter contract was affirmed and will be performed by KLC on its
original terms, provided that during an interim suspension period the sub-charterer will pay Navios
Partners directly.

|
First, 98% to the holders of common units and 2% to the
General Partner until each common unit has received a
minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35 plus any
arrearages from previous quarters; |

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit prices and amounts)
On January 21, 2011, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash
distribution for the three month period ended December 31, 2010 of $0.43 per unit. The distribution
was paid on February 14, 2011 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner
units (not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on February 9, 2011. The aggregate
amount of the declared distribution was $21,901.
On April 18, 2011, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash
distribution for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 of $0.43 per unit. The distribution
was paid on May 11, 2011 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units
(not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on May 5, 2011. The aggregate amount of the
declared distribution was $23,939.
On July 25, 2011, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash
distribution for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 of $0.44 per unit. The distribution was
paid on August 11, 2011 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units
(not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on August 5, 2011. The aggregate amount of
the declared distribution was $24,829.
Navios Partners calculates earnings per unit by allocating reported net income for each period
to each class of units based on the distribution waterfall for available cash specified in Navios
Partners partnership agreement. Basic earnings net income per unit is determined by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
unit is calculated in the same manner as net income per unit, except that the weighted average
number of outstanding units increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding unit options or
phantom units. There were no options or phantom units outstanding during the three or nine months
ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
The General Partners interest in net income is calculated as if all net income for the year
was distributed according to the terms of Navios Partners partnership agreement, regardless of
whether those earnings would or could be distributed. Navios Partners partnership agreement does
not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of
available cash, which is a contractually defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the
end of each quarter less the amount of cash reserves established by Navios Partners board of
directors to provide for the proper conduct of Navios Partners business including reserves for
maintenance and replacement capital expenditure and anticipated credit needs.
The calculations of the basic and diluted earnings per unit are presented below.

NOTE 15 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Fair Value Disclosures
In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards 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. The new guidance was effective in the first quarter of
fiscal 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and settlements,
which was effective for Navios Partners beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The adoption
of the new standards did not have a significant impact on Navios Partners consolidated financial
statements.
Presentation of Comprehensive Income
In June 2011, the FASB issued an update in the presentation of comprehensive income. According
to the update an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components
of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous
statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The statement of
other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the
components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a
total for comprehensive income. Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive
income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the entity
is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for
items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where
the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The
amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive
income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. For public
entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the
amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The
amendment will be adopted by Navios Partners effective beginning in the first quarter of 2012. The
adoption of the new amendments is not expected to have a significant impact on Navios Partners
consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill Impairment guidance
In September 2011, the FASB issued an Update to simplify how entities, both public and
nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the Update permit an entity to first
assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a
reporting unit is less than its carrying amount on a basis for determining whether it is necessary
to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not
threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments are effective
for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted including for annual and interim impairment tests
performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most
recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet
been made available for issuance. The amendment will be adopted by Navios Partners effective
beginning in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of the new amendments is not expected to have
a significant impact on Navios Partners consolidated financial statements.
