REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Partners of Navios Maritime Containers L.P.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Navios Maritime Containers L.P. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in partners capital and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, and for the period from inception (April 28, 2017) through December 31, 2017 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Navios Maritime Containers L.P. at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period from inception (April 28, 2017) through December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we were required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as Companys auditor since 2018.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit and per unit data)
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Navios Maritime Containers Inc. (Navios Containers Inc.) was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on April 28, 2017.
Conversion into Limited Partnership
On November 30, 2018, Navios Containers Inc. was converted into a limited partnership, Navios Maritime Containers L.P. (Navios Containers L.P. or the Company). The Company is a growth vehicle dedicated to the container sector of the maritime industry.
The Company converted the issued common shares to common units at the conversion ratio of one common share of Navios Maritime Containers Inc. for each common unit of Navios Containers L.P. The financial statements of the Company have been presented giving retroactive effect to the conversion described above which was treated as a reorganization made within the context of the Companys above-mentioned transactions.
As of December 31, 2018, Navios Containers L.P. had a total of 34,603,100 common units outstanding. Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (Navios Partners) held 11,592,276 common units representing 33.5% of the equity and Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (Navios Holdings) held 1,263,276 common units representing 3.7% of the equity of Navios Containers L.P.
The common units of the Company commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 10, 2018 under the ticker symbol NMCI.
The operations of the Company are managed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings (the Manager), from its offices in Piraeus, Greece, Singapore and Monaco.
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 (U.S. GAAP). The Company had no items of other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017. |
Based on internal forecasts and projections that take into account reasonably possible changes in our trading performance, management believes that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operation and meet its financial commitments, including but not limited to capital expenditures and debt service obligations, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-18, Statements of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash to amounts reported within the audited consolidated balance sheet:

(b) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements: |
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.

NAVIOS MARITIME CONTAINERS L.P.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit and per unit data)
In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a more timely matter. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
In November 2018, FASB issued ASU2018-19 Codification Improvements to topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The amendments in this update clarify that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842.
The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Early adoption of recent accounting pronouncements:
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 will apply to both types of leases capital (or finance) leases and operating leases. According to the new Accounting Standard, (a) lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months and (b) previous accounting standards for lessors will be updated to align certain requirements with the updates to lessee accounting standards and the revenue recognition accounting standards. ASU 2016 02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Topic 842 Leases (ASU 2018-11). The improvements in ASU 2018-11 provide for (a) an optional new transition method for adoption that results in initial recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the year of adoption and (b) a practical expedient for lessors, under certain circumstances, to combine the lease and non-lease components of revenues for presentation purposes.
The Company has elected to early adopt the requirements of ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2018, through application of the alternative transition method, which is consistent, with the approach the Company has elected under the new revenue standard, and has elected to adopt the practical expedient for lessors to combine lease and non-lease components of revenue earned by its vessels under time charter agreements classified as operating leases. 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. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over the term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company. All of the Companys time charter agreements provide for fixed consideration. The revenue earned under time charter contracts is not negotiated in its two separate components. The Company assessed that the lease component included in its time charter contracts, if accounted separately, would be classified as an operating lease. In addition, the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component and the associated lease component in a time charter are the same.
The Company believes that combining the lease and non-lease components provides for more meaningful financial reporting as it is more reflective of the predominant component in the time charter contracts that is the lease component.
As a result of this adoption, there was no cumulative impact to the Companys retained earnings at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods (ASC840), including disclosure requirements.
All of the Companys revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 derive from time charter agreements that are classified as operating leases.
Adoption of new accounting standards:
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related amendments (ASC 606 or the new revenue standard) using the modified retrospective method.
Under the new guidance, there is a five-step model to apply to revenue recognition. The five-steps consist of: (1) determination of whether a contract, an agreement between two or more parties that creates legally enforceable rights and obligations, exists; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit and per unit data)
As a result of this adoption, there was no cumulative impact to the Companys retained earnings at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
(c) | Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navios Containers L.P., a Marshall Islands limited partnership, and its subsidiaries that are all 100% owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated statements. |
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, units 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. All subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are 100% owned by Navios Containers L.P.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit and per unit data)
(d) | Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, management evaluates the estimates and judgments, including those related to uncompleted voyages, future drydock dates, the selection of useful lives for tangible assets, expected future cash flows from long-lived assets to support impairment tests, provisions necessary for accounts receivables, provisions for legal disputes and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions. |
(e) | Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist from time to time 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: As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, restricted cash consisted of $1,934 and $280, respectively, which related to amounts held in retention accounts in order to service debt and interest payments, as required by certain credit facilities of Navios Containers L.P. |
(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 an accrual basis and represent the claimable expenses, net of applicable deductibles, incurred through the last date 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 managements expectations as to their collection dates. |
(h) | Inventories: Inventories, which are comprised of bunkers (when applicable) on board of the vessels, are valued at cost as determined on the first-in, first-out basis. |
(i) | Vessels, net: Vessels acquired in an asset acquisition or in a business combination are recorded at fair value. Vessels acquired from entities under common control are recorded at historical cost. 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 Companys containerships based on a scrap value of $340 per lightweight ton, as management believes these levels are common in the shipping industry. Residual values are periodically reviewed and revised to recognize changes in conditions, new regulations or other reasons. Revisions of residual values affect the depreciable amount of the vessels and affect depreciation expense in the period of the revision and future periods.
Management estimates the useful life of our vessels to be 30 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.
(j) | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Vessels, other fixed assets and other long-lived assets held and used by the Company 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. The Companys 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. |
F-10
NAVIOS MARITIME CONTAINERS L.P.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit and per unit data)
Undiscounted projected net operating cash flows are determined for each asset group and compared to the carrying value of the vessel, the unamortized portion of deferred drydock and special survey costs related to the vessel and the related carrying value of the intangible assets with respect to the time charter agreement attached to that vessel. Within the shipping industry, vessels are customarily bought and sold with a charter attached. The value of the charter may be favorable or unfavorable when comparing the charter rate to then-current market rates. The loss recognized either on impairment (or on disposition) will reflect the excess of carrying value over fair value (selling price) for the vessel asset group.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the management of Navios Containers L.P. 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 identified impairment indications for 5 of its vessels. In this respect, the Company performed an impairment analysis (step one) to estimate the future undiscounted cash flows for each of these vessels.
The Company determined the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each vessel and compared them to the vessels carrying value together with the carrying value of deferred drydock and special survey costs related to the vessel and the carrying value of the related intangible assets, if applicable. The significant factors and assumptions used in the undiscounted projected net operating cash flow analysis included: determining the projected net operating cash flows by considering the charter revenues from existing time charters for the fixed fleet days (the Companys remaining charter agreement rates) and an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the unfixed days (based on a combination of one-year average historical time charter rates and 10-year average historical time charter rates, adjusted for outliers) over the remaining economic life of each vessel, net of brokerage and address commissions, excluding days of scheduled off-hires, management fees fixed until December 2019 and thereafter assuming an annual increase of 1.0% and a utilization rate of 98.8% based on the fleets actual performance for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The assessment concluded that step two of the impairment analysis was not required and that no impairment of vessels existed as of December 31, 2018, as the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows exceeded the carrying values.
In the event that impairment would occur, the fair value of the related asset would be determined and a charge would be recognized in the statements of 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.
No impairment loss was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017.
(k) | Deferred Drydock and Special Survey Costs: The Companys vessels are subject to regularly scheduled drydocking 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. The costs of drydocking and special surveys are deferred and amortized over the above periods or to the next drydocking or special survey date if such date has been determined. Unamortized drydocking or special survey costs of vessels sold are written-off to the consolidated statement of operations in the year the vessel is sold. |
Costs capitalized as part of the drydocking or special survey consist principally of the actual costs incurred at the yard, spare parts, paints, lubricants and services incurred solely during the drydocking or special survey period. The amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017 was $1,314 and $225 respectively. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $1,539 and
$225, respectively.
(l) | Deferred Financing Costs: Deferred financing costs include fees, commissions and legal expenses associated with obtaining or modifying 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 and finance cost, net in the consolidated statements of income. The total deferred unamortized financing costs, net were $3,644 and $1,627 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and were presented net under Current portion of long-term debt, net, Financial liability short term, net, Long-term financial liability, net of current portion and Long-term debt, net of current portion in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization costs for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017 were $1,598 and $430, respectively. |
(m) | Foreign Currency Translation: The Companys 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. 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 statements of income. The foreign currency losses recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017 was $15 and $3, respectively. |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit and per unit data)
(n) | 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 occurred at the date of the financial statements, 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 within the range. See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion. As of December 31, 2018, the amount of $1,002 relating to settlement of outstanding claims was presented under the caption Other income of the consolidated statements of income. |
(o) | Revenue and Expense 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 time charter of vessels. |
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 on services rendered by the Company and no identifiable benefit is received in exchange for the consideration provided to the charterer, these commissions are presented as a reduction of revenue
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 charter agreements, operating costs such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel whereas voyage expenses primarily consisting of port, canal and bunkers expenses that are unique to a particular charter are paid for by the charterer, except for commissions, which are always paid for by the Company, regardless of charter type.
Expenses related to our revenue-generating contracts are recognized as incurred.
(p) | Deferred Income and Cash Received In Advance: Deferred revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as revenue over the charter period. |
(q) | Time Charter and Voyage Expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses comprise all expenses related to each particular voyage, bunkers, port charges, canal tolls, cargo handling, agency fees and brokerage commissions. Also included in time charter and voyage expenses are charterers liability insurances, provisions for losses on time charters in progress at year-end and other miscellaneous expenses. |
(r) | Direct Vessel Expenses: Direct vessel expenses comprise the amortization related to drydock and special survey costs of certain vessels of Navios Containers L.P.s fleet as well as the reactivation cost of laid-up vessels. |
(s) | Financial Instruments: Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, other receivables and other liabilities, long-term debt and financial liability. 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 Companys activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including fluctuations in future time charter hire rates, fuel prices and 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: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition. Due to these factors, management believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is inherent in the Companys trade receivables
For the year ended December 31, 2018, two customers, NOL Liner PTE Ltd and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines represented 30.5% and 25.7% of our total revenues, respectively. For the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017, one customer Mitsui O.S.K. Lines represented 71.0% of our total revenues.
Liquidity Risk: Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, 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 at rates prevailing on the dates of the relevant 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 consolidated statement of income.
Fair Value Risk: See Note 2(x).
(t) | Income Taxes: The Company is a Marshall Islands limited partnership. 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 the United States of America. |
In accordance with the currently applicable Greek law, foreign flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies having established an office in Greece are subject to duties towards the Greek state which are calculated on the basis of the relevant vessels tonnage. The payment of said duties exhausts the tax liability of the foreign ship owning company and the relevant manager against any tax, duty, charge or contribution payable on income from the exploitation of the foreign flagged vessel.
Marshall Islands do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of Marshall Islands, the country of the companies incorporation and formation and vessels registration in addition to Panama and Liberia, the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in daily management fee.
(u) | Leases: Vessels leases, where Navios Containers L.P. 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 the consolidated statement of 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.
For charters classified as operating leases, where Navios Containers L.P. is regarded as the lessor, refer to Note 2(o) Revenue and Expense Recognition.
(v) | Accounts Receivable, net: The amount shown as accounts receivable, net, at the balance sheet date, includes trade receivables from charterers for hire. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts has been made for the years presented. |
(w) | Financial Instruments and Fair Value: Guidance on Fair Value Measurements provides 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 I measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level III measurements). |
A financial instruments 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.
(x) | Time Charters at Favorable 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 the Company to make significant assumptions and estimates of many variables including market charter rates, expected future charter rates, the level of utilization of the Companys vessels and the Companys 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 the Companys 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. For the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to December 31, 2017 the amortization expense amounted to $33,146 and $13,039, respectively.

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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.
Restricted cash: The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.

While the ultimate disposition of these actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the outcome, individually or in aggregate, of such actions will have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 13: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues. The Company does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results for each type of charter or by sector. As a result, management reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus the Company has determined that it operates under one reportable segment.
Revenue by Geographic Region
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.
