Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

     The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 of Navios Maritime Partners L.P.(“Navios Partners”). We do not present comparative information for periods prior to our initial public offering (“ IPO”) because we believe that those periods are not necessarily comparable given the change in the nature and focus of the business. For example it is the policy of Navios Partners’ not to trade FFAs, whereas certain prior periods contain such transactions. In addition, certain agreements such as the management agreement were first effective as of November 16, 2007. All of these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (US GAAP). You should read this section together with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Navios Partners ‘ 2007 annual report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities Exchange Commission.

     This report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are based on Navios Partners’ current expectations and observations. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to changes in the demand for dry bulk vessels, competitive factors in the market in which Navios Partners operates; risks associated with operations outside the United States; and other factors listed from time to time in the Navios Partners’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

General

     Navios Partners is an international owner and operator of Capesize and Panamax vessels , formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of Marshall Islands by Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NM) (“Navios Holdings”), a vertically integrated seaborne shipping and logistics company with over 50 years of operating history in the drybulk shipping industry. Navios GP L.L.C. (the “General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, was also formed on that date to act as the general partner of Navios Partners and received a 2% general partner interest. Our vessels are chartered out under long-term time charters with an average remaining term of approximately 4.7 years to a strong group of counterparties, consisting of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd., Cargill International SA, Ltd., Rio Tinto Shipping Pty Ltd., Augustea Atlantica SrL Charterers, The Sanko Steamship Co., Ltd. and Daiichi Chuo Kisen Kaisha.

     In connection with our IPO, on November 16, 2007, we acquired interests in five wholly-owned subsidiaries of Navios Holdings, each of which owned a Panamax drybulk carrier, as well as interests in three wholly-owned subsidiaries of Navios Holdings that operated and had options to purchase three additional vessels in exchange for (a) all of the net estimated proceeds of $193.3 million from the sale of 10,000,000 common units in the IPO and the sale of 500,000 common units in a concurrent private offering to a corporation owned by Navios Partners’ Chairman and CEO, (b) $160.0 million drawn under a credit facility entered into in connection with our IPO, (c) 7,621,843 subordinated units issued to Navios Holdings and (d) the issuance to the General Partner of the 2% general partner interest and all incentive distribution rights in Navios Partners. Initially, Navios Holdings owned a 43.2% interest in Navios Partners, including the 2% general partner interest.

     After the issuance on July 1, 2008 of 3,131,415 common units to Navios Holdings for the acquisition of Navios Aurora I, and the issuance of additional general partnership units, there are currently outstanding: 13,631,415 common units, 7,621,843 subordinated units and 433,740 general partnership units. As of September 30, 2008 Navios Holdings owned a 51.6% interest in Navios Partners, including the 2% general partner interest.

     Navios Partners is engaged in the seaborne transportation services of a wide range of drybulk commodities including iron ore, coal, grain and fertilizer, chartering its vessels under medium to long term charters.

Fleet

     Our fleet consists of eight modern, active Panamax vessels one modern Capesize vessel and one newbuild Capesize vessel, Navios TBN I, that we have agreed to purchase from Navios Holdings when it is delivered, which is expected to occur in June 2009. Assuming delivery of Navios TBN I in June 2009, our fleet of high-quality Panamax and Capesize vessels will have an average age of approximately 5.5 years in June 2009, which is significantly younger than the current industry average of about 15 years. Panamax vessels are highly flexible vessels capable of carrying a wide range of drybulk commodities, including iron ore, coal, grain and fertilizer and of being accommodated in most major discharge ports, while Capesize vessels are primarily dedicated to the carriage of iron ore and coal. We may from time to time purchase additional vessels, including vessels from Navios Holdings.

     All of our current 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 may operate vessels in the spot market until the vessels have been fixed under appropriate long-term charters.

     Additionally, we have the option to acquire a newbuild Capesize vessel, Navios TBN II, from Navios Holdings upon delivery of such vessel to Navios Holdings which is expected to occur in October 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In February 2008, the FASB issued the FASB Staff Position (“FSP No. 157-2”) which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). For purposes of applying this FSP, nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities would include all assets and liabilities other that those meeting the definition of a financial asset or financial liability as defined in paragraph 6 of FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” This FSP defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and the interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. The application of SFAS 157 in future periods to

those items covered by FSP 157-2 is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Navios Partners.

     In October 2008, the FASB issued the FASB Staff Position (“FSP No. 157-3”) which clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active. This FSP applies to financial assets within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements in accordance with Statement 157. The FSP shall be effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate (“FASB Statement No. 154 “Accounting changes and Error Corrections”, paragraph 19). The disclosure provisions of Statement No. 154 for a change in accounting estimate are not required for revisions resulting from a change in valuation technique or its application. The application of FSP 157-3 does not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Navios Partners.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. Navios Partners does not expect any potential impact at the date of the adoption of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statement—amendments of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Navios Partners does not expect any potential impact at the date of the adoption of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

     In March 2008, the FASB issued its final consensus on “Issue 07-4 — Application of the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, to Master Limited Partnerships”. This issue may impact a publicly traded master limited partnership (MLP) that distributes “available” cash to the limited partners (LPs), the general partner (GP), and the holders of incentive distribution rights (IDRs). This issue addresses earnings-per-unit (EPU) computations for all MLPs with IDR interests. MLPs will need to determine the amount of “available cash” at the end of a reporting period when calculating the period’s EPU. This guidance in Issue 07-4 would be effective for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2008, and would be accounted for as a change in accounting principle through retrospective application. Early application would not be permitted. Navios Partners is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of Issue 07-4 under FASB Statement No. 128 on its consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP 142-3 “Determination of the useful life of intangible assets”. This FASB Staff Position (FSP) amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This FSP will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Navios Partners is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP 142-3 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. Statement 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Navios Partners is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 162 on the Company’s 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.

     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’ 2007 annual report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities Exchange Commission.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

     Vessels 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 SFAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, management reviews valuations and compares them to the asset’s carrying amounts. Should the valuations indicate potential impairment, management determines projected undiscounted cash flows for each asset and compares it to its carrying amount. In the event that impairment occurs, an impairment charge is recognized by comparing the asset’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value. For the purposes of assessing impairment, long lived-assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. No impairment loss was recognized for any of the periods presented.

Vessels

     Vessels are stated at historical cost, which consists of the contract price, any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (improvements and delivery expenses). Subsequent expenditures for major improvements and upgrading are capitalized, provided they appreciably extend the life, increase the 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 useful life of our vessels to be 25 years from the vessel’s original construction. However, when regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its useful life is re-estimated to end at the date such regulations become effective.

Deferred Drydock and Special Survey Costs

     Our 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 has been determined. Unamortized drydocking or special survey costs of vessels sold are written off to income in the year the vessel is sold. When vessels are acquired the portion of the vessel’s capitalized cost that relates to drydocking or special survey is treated as a separate component of the vessel’s cost and is deferred and amortized as above. This cost is determined by reference to the estimated economic benefits to be derived until the next drydocking or special survey.

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 transportation of cargoes and time charter of vessels.

     Voyage revenues for the transportation of cargo are recognized ratably over the estimated relative transit time of each voyage. A voyage is deemed to commence when a vessel is available for loading and is deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the current cargo. Estimated losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. Under a voyage charter, we agree to provide a vessel for the transportation of specific goods between specific ports in return for payment of an agreed upon freight rate per ton of cargo.

     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 charterer’s disposal for a period of time during which the charterer uses the vessel in return for the payment of a specified daily hire rate. Short period charters for less than three months are referred to as spot charters. Charters extending three months to a year are generally referred to as medium term charters. All other charters are considered long term. Under time charters, operating cost such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

     The following table presents consolidated revenue and expense information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008. We do not present comparative information for periods prior to the IPO because we believe that those periods are not necessarily comparable given the change in the nature and focus of the business. For example it is the policy of Navios Partners’ not to trade FFAs, whereas certain prior periods contain such transactions. In addition, certain agreements such as the management agreement were first effective as of November 16, 2007.

Other expenses including management fees and general and administrative expenses amounted to $3.9 million. General and administrative expenses are usually comprised of legal and other professional fees as well as expenses paid to Navios Holdings (see Related Party Transactions).

     Depreciation and amortization expense for the period (including amortization of drydocking and special survey costs presented under direct vessel expenses) was $3.4 million and interest expense and finance cost related to the borrowings under the facility agreement of $235.0 million was $2.3 million.

     Net income for three month period ended September 30, 2008 was $8.9 million.

     For nine month period ended September 30, 2008, Navios Partners’ time charter revenue amounted to $53.5 million whereas time charter expenses for the same period were $8.8 million. Other expenses including management fees and general and administrative expenses amounted to $8.8 million. General and administrative expenses are usually comprised of legal and other professional fees as well as expenses paid to Navios Holdings (see Related Party Transactions).

     Depreciation and amortization expense for the period (including amortization of drydocking and special survey costs presented under direct vessel expenses) was $9.0 million and interest expense and finance cost related to the borrowings under the facility agreement of $235.0 million was $7.1 million.

     Net income for nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was $19.9 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of September 30, 2008 Navios Partners had $25.3 million of cash and cash equivalents from $10.1 as of December 31, 2007. Included in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2008 there is $14.5 million held in bank in a time deposit that has a monthly duration.

     The following table presents cash flow information derived from the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows of Navios Partners for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

		Nine Month Period Ended
		September 30, 2008
		($ ‘000)

Net cash provided by financing activities			54,389
Increase in cash and cash equivalents.		$	15,155

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008

     Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $30.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase is analyzed as follows:

     Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, was $19.9 million. In determining net cash provided by operating activities, net income is adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization.

     Deferred voyage revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. Deferred voyage revenue, net of commissions increased by $1.8 million from $0.2 million at December 31, 2007 to $2.0 million at September 30, 2008.

     Accrued expenses increased by $0.1 million from $1.4 million at December 31, 2007 to $1.5 million at September 30, 2008. The primary reason for the increase was an increase in other accrued expenses by $0.2 million mitigated by a decrease in accrued loan interest by $0.1 million.

     Accounts receivable decreased by $0.1 million from $0.4 million at December 31, 2007 to $0.3 million at September 30, 2008. The primary reason for this decrease was a decrease in amounts receivable from charterers.

     Accounts payable decreased by $0.1 million from $0.6 million at December 31, 2007 to $0.5 million at September 30, 2008. The primary reason was a decrease in professional fees payable by $0.3 million mitigated by an increase in brokers’ payable by $0.2 million.

     Prepaid voyage costs relate to cash paid in advance for expenses associated with voyages. Prepaid expenses remained almost unchanged during the nine month period from December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2008.

     Restricted cash had a zero balance as of September 30, 2008 from $0.8 million as of December 31, 2007. The reason for the decrease was the interest payment effected in August 2008 using cash that was held in our retention account for this purpose.

     Amounts due to related parties decreased by $1.7 million from $4.5 million at December 31, 2007 to $2.8 million at September 30, 2008. The main reason for this was the payment of the deferred acquisition expenses related to the Navios Partners’ IPO amounting to $3.8 million to Navios Holdings mitigated by $2.1 million in management fees and general and administrative expenses charged by Navios Holdings outstanding as of September 30, 2008 which were settled in October 2008.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008

     Net cash used in investing activities was $69.5 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. On May 2, 2008 Navios Partners purchased the vessel Fantastiks, renamed to Navios Fantastiks, for an amount of $34.2 million and paid an additional $0.3 million for capitalized expenses related to the vessel’s acquisition.

     On July 1, 2008 Navios Partners purchased the vessel Navios Aurora, renamed to Navios Aurora I, for a cash consideration of $35.0 million.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008

     Cash provided by financing activities was $54.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

     Navios Partners paid a total cash distribution of $16.2 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

     Navios Partners borrowed an additional $70.0 million under its existing credit facility in order to finance the acquisition of the vessel Navios Fantastiks on May 2, 2008 and Navios Aurora I on July 1, 2008 and also paid debt issuance cost amounting to $0.3 million.

     In addition, in connection with the issuance of 3,131,415 common units to Navios Holdings as part of the purchase price for Navios Aurora I, Navios Partners received an amount of $0.9 million in exchange for the issuance of 63,906 units to the general partner in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in Navios Partners.

EBITDA

     EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Navios Partners uses EBITDA because Navios Partners believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and because EBITDA presents useful information to investors regarding Navios Partners’ ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. Navios Partners also uses EBITDA: (i) in its credit agreement to measure compliance with covenants such as interest coverage and debt incurrence; (ii) by prospective and current lessors as well as potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; and (iii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates.

     EBITDA for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was $14.6 million and $35.9 million, respectively (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below).

     EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Navios Partners’ results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs, and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Partners’ performance.

Operating Surplus

     Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest expense, estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures and expansion 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. Expansion capital expenditures are those capital expenditures that increase the operating capacity of or the revenue generated by Navios Partners’ capital assets.

     Navios Partners generated an operating surplus of $9.6 million and $22.7 million for the three and nine month periods, respectively, ended September 30, 2008. Expansion capital expenditures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was $69.2 million and $35.0 million, respectively and related to the acquisition of Navios Fantastiks on May 2, 2008 and Navios Aurora I on July 1, 2008. The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 was $2.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures below).

     Operating surplus is a quantitative measure used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Operating Surplus is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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

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 our 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 partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Available cash is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of Navios Partners’ performance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Long Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements

     On November 15, 2007 Navios Partners entered into a revolving credit facility agreement with Commerzbank AG and DVB Bank AG maturing on November 15, 2017. This credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $260 million, of which $165.0 million was drawn on November 16, 2007. Of the total drawn amount, $160.0 million was paid to Navios Holdings as part of the purchase price of the capital stock of Navios Holdings’ subsidiaries that owned or had rights to the eight vessels of Navios Partners’ fleet. The balance of the drawn amount was used as working capital. On June 25, 2008, this credit facility was amended, in part, to increase the available borrowings by $35.0 million, in anticipation of purchasing Navios Aurora, thereby increasing the total facility to $295.0 million.

     On May 2, 2008, Navios Partners borrowed $35.0 million to finance the acquisition of the vessel Navios Fantastiks and an additional $35.0 million to finance the acquisition of the vessel Navios Aurora I on July 1, 2008. Navios Partners expects to borrow an additional $60.0 million to partially finance the purchase of the capital stock of the Navios Holdings subsidiary that will own Navios TBN I upon its delivery which is expected to occur in June 2009. Amounts that can be borrowed under the facility will be reduced by $60.0 million if Navios TBN I is not delivered.

     The credit facility is a revolving facility for up to four years and converts to a term facility for up to 6.5 years thereafter so that final maturity will be 10 years. The interest rate is LIBOR plus a margin of between 80 bps and 125 bps, depending on the loan to value ratio. Also, Navios Partners pays a commitment fee of 0.35% for undrawn amounts under the facility.  

     Amounts drawn under this credit facility are secured by first preferred mortgages on Navios Partners’ vessels and other collateral and are guaranteed by each vessel-owning subsidiary. The revolving credit facility contains a number of restrictive covenants that prohibit Navios Partners from, among other things: incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness; entering into affiliate transactions; charging, pledging or encumbering the vessels; changing the flag, class, management or ownership of Navios Partners’ vessels; changing the commercial and technical management of Navios Partners’ vessels; selling or changing the beneficial ownership or control of Navios Partners’ vessels; and subordinating the obligations under the credit facility to any general and administrative costs relating to the vessels, including the fixed daily fee payable under the management agreement. The credit facility also requires Navios Partners to comply with the ISM Code and ISPS Code and to maintain valid safety management certificates and documents of compliance at all times. The credit facility also requires compliance with a number of financial covenants of Navios Partners, including tangible net worth, debt coverage ratios, specified tangible net worth to total debt percentages and minimum liquidity. It is an event of default under the credit facility if such covenants are not complied with.

     At September 30, 2008, Navios Partners was in compliance with the financial covenants of its credit facility.

     The repayment of the credit facility starts no earlier than February 2012 and is subject to changes in repayment amounts and dates depending on various factors such as the future borrowings under the credit facility agreement.

     The maturity table below reflects the principal payments due under the credit facility based on Navios Partners’ $235.0 million outstanding balance as of September 30, 2008.

Cash Distribution Policy

Rationale for Our Cash Distribution Policy

     Our cash distribution policy reflects a basic judgment that our unitholders are better served by our 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, we believe that our investors are best served by our distributing all of 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, including:

• Our unitholders have no contractual or other legal right to receive distributions other than the obligation under our partnership agreement to distribute available cash on a quarterly basis, which is subject to the broad discretion of our board of directors to establish reserves and other limitations.

• While our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our available cash, our partnership agreement, including provisions requiring us to make cash distributions contained therein, may be amended. Although during the subordination period, with certain exceptions, our partnership agreement may not be amended without the approval of non-affiliated common unitholders, our partnership agreement can be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding common units after the subordination period has ended. Upon the closing of the IPO, Navios Holdings did not own any of our outstanding common units and owned 100.0% of our outstanding subordinated units.

• Even if our cash distribution policy is not modified or revoked, the amount of distributions we pay under our cash distribution policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by our board of directors, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement.

• Under Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Limited Partnership Act, we may not make a distribution to our unitholders if the distribution would cause our liabilities to exceed the fair value of our assets.

• We may lack sufficient cash to pay distributions to our unitholders due to decreases in net revenues or increases in operating expenses, principal and interest payments on outstanding debt, tax expenses, working capital requirements, maintenance and replacement capital expenditures or anticipated cash needs.

• Our distribution policy is affected by restrictions on distributions under our existing revolving credit facility that we entered into in connection with the closing of the IPO. Specifically, our revolving credit facility contains material financial tests that must be satisfied and we will not pay any distributions that will cause us to violate our credit facility or other debt instruments. Should we be unable to satisfy these restrictions included in the proposed new credit facility or if we are otherwise in default under our new credit facility, our ability to make cash distributions to unitholders, notwithstanding our cash distribution policy, would be materially adversely affected.

• If we make distributions out of capital surplus, as opposed to operating surplus, such distributions will constitute a return of capital and will result in a reduction in the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels. We do not anticipate that we will make any distributions from capital surplus.

     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 and the related distribution on the 2.0% general partner interest is approximately $30.4 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 is existing, under our existing revolving credit agreement.

     On July 28, 2008, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 of $0.35 per unit. The distribution was paid on August 14, 2008 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units on August 8, 2008 (excluding 3,131,415 common units issued to Navios Holdings in connection with the sale of the vessel “Navios Aurora I”). The aggregate amount of the declared distribution was $6.5 million.

     During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 the aggregate amount of cash distribution paid was $16.2 million.

     On October 21, 2008, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 of $0.385 per unit. The distribution is payable on November 7, 2008 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units on October 31, 2008. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution is $8.3 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. 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 partner’s 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.

Related Party Transactions

     Management fees: Pursuant to the management agreement dated November 16, 2007, the Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, provides commercial and technical management services to Navios Partners’ vessels for a daily fee of $4,000 per owned Panamax vessel and $5,000 per owned Capesize vessel. This daily fee covers all of the vessels’ operating expenses, including the cost of drydock and special surveys. The daily rates are fixed for a period of two years until November 16, 2009 whereas the initial term of the agreement is until November 16, 2012. Total management fees for the three and the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $2.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively (no such fees existed in the period prior to Navios Partners’ IPO on November 16, 2007)

     General & administrative expenses: Pursuant to the administrative services agreement dated November 16, 2007, the Manager also provides administrative services to Navios Partners which 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.

     Prior to the IPO, the Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, provided the vessels of the five vessel-owning subsidiaries of Navios Holdings (collectively, the “Company”), with a wide range of services such as chartering, technical support and maintenance, insurance, consulting, financial and accounting services for a per vessel fixed monthly fee (2007: $15,000). Such fee was adjusted at the end of the year, where the Manager’s remaining profit or loss was reallocated to the managed vessels, based on the managed days per vessel. The Manager was responsible for managing all cash transactions of the Company, as the Company did not maintain any cash accounts. The Manager paid any costs relating to the operation of the Company’s vessels. Furthermore, all revenues from the vessels operations were directly deposited to the Manager’s bank accounts and used to fund the Company’s expenses.

     Total general and administrative expenses charged by Navios Holdings for the three and the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively ($0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, respectively).

     Balance due to related parties: Included in the current liabilities as at September 30, 2008 is an amount of $2.8 million which represents the current account payable to Navios Holdings and its subsidiaries. The balance mainly consists of the management fees, administrative service expenses and other expenses owed to affiliated companies. Total management fees and administrative service expenses charged to Navios Partners for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $2.7 million and $0.3 million, while for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 those same fees and expenses amounted to $6.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

     Vessel Acquisition: On July 1, 2008 Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings, the vessel Navios Aurora I for a

purchase price of $79,936, consisting of $35.0 million cash and the issuance of 3,131,415 common units to Navios Holdings. The per unit price at the day of the delivery was $14.35.

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 new credit facility bear interest at rate based on a premium over US$ 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, 2008, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 4.5%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 by $1.5 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, 2008, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd, Cargill International S.A., Sanko Steamship Co., Daiichi Chuo Kisen Kaisha, and Augustea Imprese Maritime accounted for approximately 24.2%, 23.4%, 16.2%, 12.4% and 10.2% respectively, of 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.

     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, drydocking 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.

NAVIOS MARITIME PARTNERS L.P.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit amounts)

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

          Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (‘‘Navios Partners’’), was formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of Marshall Islands by Navios Maritime Holdings Inc (‘‘Navios Holdings’’). Navios GP L.L.C. (the “General Partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, was also formed on that date to act as the general partner of Navios Partners and receive a 2% general partner interest.

          In connection with the initial public offering (“IPO”) of Navios Partners on November 16, 2007 Navios Partners acquired interests in five wholly-owned subsidiaries of Navios Holdings , each of which owned a Panamax drybulk carrier (the ‘‘Initial Vessels’’), as well as interests in three wholly-owned subsidiaries of Navios Holdings that operated and had options to purchase, three additional vessels in exchange for (a) all of the net proceeds from the sale of 10,000,000 common units in the IPO and the sale of 500,000 common units in a concurrent private offering to a corporation owned by Navios Partners’ Chairman and CEO for a total estimated amount of $193.3 million (see note 3), plus (b) $160.0 million of the $165.0 million drawn under Navios Partners’ revolving credit facility entered into in connection with the IPO (see note 8), (c) 7,621,843 subordinated units issued to Navios Holdings and (d) the issuance to the General Partner of the 2% general partner interest and all incentive distribution rights in Navios Partners. Upon the closing of the IPO, Navios Holdings owned a 43.2% interest in Navios Partners, including the 2% general partner interest.

          On July 1, 2008 Navios Partners issued 3,131,415 common units to Navios Holdings for the acquisition of Navios Aurora I, and 63,906 general partnership units to the General Partner who elected to maintain its 2% general partner interest in Navios Partners.. Navios Holdings owns a 51.6% interest in Navios Partners, including the 2% general partner interest.

          On or prior to the closing of the IPO, Navios Partners entered into the following agreements: (a) a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Navios Partners acquired the capital stock of a subsidiary that will own the Capesize vessel Navios TBN I and related time charter, upon delivery of the vessel which is expected to occur in June 2009; (b) a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Navios Partners has the option, exercisable at any time between January 1, 2009 and April 1, 2009, to acquire the capital stock of the subsidiary that will own the Capesize vessel Navios TBN II and related time charter scheduled for delivery in October 2009; (c) a management agreement with Navios ShipManagement Inc. (the “Manager”) pursuant to which the Manager provides Navios Partners commercial and technical management services; (d) an administrative services agreement with the Manager pursuant to which the Manager provides Navios Partners administrative services; and (e) an omnibus agreement with Navios Holdings, governing, among other things, when Navios Partners and Navios Holdings may compete against each other as well as rights of first offer on certain drybulk carriers.

          Navios Partners is engaged in the seaborne transportation services of a wide range of drybulk commodities including iron ore, coal, grain and fertilizer, chartering its vessels under medium to long term charters. The operations of Navios Partners are managed by the Manager from its head offices in Piraeus, Greece.

NOTE 2— BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements have been presented using the historical carrying costs of such vessel-owning subsidiaries for all periods presented prior to the IPO, as each vessel-owning subsidiary was under the common control of Navios Holdings. The financial statements for periods after the IPO are referred to as those of Navios Partners.

NOTE 3—INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

          On November 16, 2007, Navios Partners completed its initial public offering of 10,000,000 common units at a price of $20.00 per unit. In addition, simultaneously with the offering, Navios Partners sold 500,000 common units at a price of $20.00 per unit to a corporation owned by Navios Partners’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The proceeds received by Navios Partners from the IPO and the concurrent private offering and the use of those proceeds are summarized as follows:

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit amounts)

     In connection with the IPO, Navios Partners acquired all of outstanding shares of capital stock of the subsidiaries of Navios Holdings that owned or had rights to eight vessels which was accounted for as a transaction under common control. As a result, the difference between the aggregate cash consideration paid for the subsidiaries that owned or had the rights to eight vessels of $353,300 and their carrying values of $185,789 was considered as a deemed distribution of $167,511 to Navios Holdings. This deemed dividend payable of $167,511 resulted in reduction of total partners’ capital to reflect the deemed impact of the deemed distribution, but not the proceeds of the IPO.

     The deemed distribution calculation has taken into account the Company’s forgiveness of balances due from related parties (which was treated as a capital distribution to Navios Holdings), which occurred immediately prior to consummation of the IPO (See note 11).

NOTE 4 —CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following:

		December 31, 2007				September 30, 2008
Cash on hand and at banks		$	10,095			$	10,750
Short term deposits			—				14,500
Total cash and cash equivalents		$	10,095			$	25,250

     On May 2, 2008, Fantastiks Shipping Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Partners (see note 2), purchased the vessel Fantastiks for an amount of $34,155 of cash consideration (from which $34,001 was included in vessel cost) pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement between Fantastiks Shipping Corporation and Kleimar N.V. (“Kleimar”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings. The remaining carrying amounts of the favorable lease and the favorable purchase option of the vessel amounting to $53,022 were transferred to vessel cost and will be depreciated over the remaining useful life of the vessel (see note 6). Capitalized expenses related to vessel acquisition amounted to $459 and were also included in vessel cost. The vessel was renamed to Navios Fantastiks upon acquisition. In addition, pursuant to the above mentioned Memorandum of Agreement all of the risk of non-performance related to the vessel was assigned to Navios Partners. Therefore, Kleimar paid to Fantastiks Shipping Corporation the net of the charter hire it received less any charter hire it paid, until the vessel was delivered. Hire revenue and expense, net of address commissions is included in the statement of income, under time charter and voyage revenue and in time charter and voyage expenses (see note 11).

     On July 1, 2008 Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings, the vessel Navios Aurora I for a purchase price of $79,936, consisting of $35,000 cash and the issuance of 3,131,415 common units to Navios Holdings. The number of the common units issued was calculated based on a price of $14.3705 per common unit, which was the volume weighted average trading price of the common units for the 10 business days immediately prior to the acquisition. The per unit price at the day of the delivery was $14.35. Capitalized expenses related to vessel acquisition amounted to $46 and were also included in vessel cost.

The amount of $35,000 was drawn on July 1, 2008 in order to finance the acquisition of the vessel Navios Aurora, renamed to Navios Aurora I, from Navios Holdings (see note 5).

     At September 30, 2008, Navios Partners was in compliance with the financial covenants of its revolving loan facility. The repayment of the loan facility starts no earlier than February 2012 and is subject to changes in repayment amounts and dates depending on various factors such as the future borrowings under the agreement.

NOTE 8— 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. Drybulk vessels operate worldwide. Revenues from specific geographic region which contribute over 10% of total revenue are disclosed separately.

Revenue by Geographic Region

		Three Month Period Ended								Nine Month Period Ended
		September 30, 2007				September 30, 2008				September 30, 2007				September 30, 2008
Europe		$	5,694			$	5,936			$	16,609			$	17,996
Asia			8,422				13,262				19,664				30,820
Australia			—				2,074				—				4,715
Total		$	14,116			$	21,272			$	36,273			$	53,531

     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 9 — INCOME TAXES

     Marshall Islands and Panama do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of Marshall Islands 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 vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

     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 the Company 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 will be 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 10 —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 is immaterial and will not adversely affect Navios Partners financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

     In March 2008, Navios Partners took delivery of the “Navios Aldebaran”, a newbuilding Panamax vessel of 76,500 dwt. The vessel came into the fleet under a long-term charter-in agreement with a purchase option exercisable in 2013. Navios Partners has chartered-out the vessel for a period of five years at a net daily charter-out rate of approximately US$ 28.

     In May 2008, the chartered-in vessel “Fantastiks” was acquired by Fantastiks Shipping Corporation and was renamed to “Navios Fantastiks” (see note 5).

     The future minimum commitments of Navios Partners under its charter-in contracts, net of commissions, are as follows:

		Amount
2008		$	2,486
2009			9,864
2010			9,864
2011			9,864
2012			9,891
2013 and thereafter			17,463

NOTE 11 —TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES AND AFFILIATES

Management fees: Pursuant to the management agreement dated November 16, 2007, the Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, provides commercial and technical management services to Navios Partners’ vessels for a daily fee of $4 per owned Panamax vessel and $5 per owned Capesize vessel. This daily fee covers all of the vessels’ operating expenses, including the cost of drydock and special surveys. The daily rates are fixed for a period of two years until November 16, 2009 whereas the initial term of the agreement is until November 16, 2012. Total management fees for the three and the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $2,668 and $6,607, respectively ($0 and $0 for the three and the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, respectively).

General & administrative expenses: Pursuant to the administrative services agreement dated November 16, 2007, the Manager also provides administrative services to Navios Partners which 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.

Prior to the IPO, the Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings provided the Company’s vessels with a wide range of services such as chartering, technical support and maintenance, insurance, consulting, financial and accounting services for a per vessel fixed monthly fee (2007: $15). Such fee was adjusted at the end of the year, where the Manager’s remaining profit or loss was reallocated to the managed vessels, based on the managed days per vessel. The Manager was responsible for managing all cash transactions of the Company, as the Company did not maintain any cash accounts. The Manager paid any costs relating to the operation of the Company’s vessels. Furthermore, all revenues from the vessels operations were directly deposited to the Manager’s bank accounts and used to fund the Company’s expenses.

Total general and administrative expenses charged by Navios Holdings for the three and the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $279 and $799 respectively ($366 and $888 for the three and the nine month period ended September 30, 2007).

Balance due to related parties: Included in the current liabilities as at September 30, 2008 is an amount of $2,821 which represents the current account payable to Navios Holdings and its subsidiaries. The balance mainly consists of the management fees, administrative service expenses and other expenses owed to affiliated companies. Total management fees and administrative service expenses charged to Navios Partners for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $2,668 and $279 while for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 same fees and expenses amounted to $6,607 and $799 respectively.

Vessel Acquisition: On July 1, 2008 Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings, the vessel Navios Aurora I for a purchase price of $79,936, consisting of $35,000 cash and the issuance of 3,131,415 common units to Navios Holdings. The per unit price at the day of the delivery was $14.35 (see note 5).

NOTE 12— CASH DISTRIBUTIONS AND EARNINGS PER UNIT

     The partnership agreement of Navios Partners requires that all available cash is distributed quarterly, after deducting expenses, including estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures and reserves. Distributions 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. The amount of the minimum quarterly distribution is $0.35 per unit or $1.40 unit per year and are made in the following manner, during the subordination period:

	•		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;
	•		Second, 98% to the holders of subordinated units and 2% to the General Partner until each subordinated unit has received a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35; and
	•		Third, 98% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 2% to General Partner, until each unit has received an aggregate amount of $0.4025

Thereafter there is incentive distribution rights held by the General Partner, which are analyzed as follows:

						Marginal Percentage
						Interest in Distributions
						Common and
		Total Quarterly Distribution				Subordinated				General
		Target Amount				Unitholders				Partner
|		| |
Minimum Quarterly Distribution		$0.35					98	%			2	%
First Target Distribution		up to $0.4025					98	%			2	%
Second Target Distribution		above $0.4025 up to $0.4375					85	%			15	%
Third Target Distribution		above $0.4375 up to $0.525					75	%			25	%
Thereafter		above $0.525					50	%			50	%

     On July 28, 2008, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 of $0.35 per unit. The distribution was paid on August 14, 2008 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units on August 8, 2008 (excluding 3,131,415 common units issued to Navios Holdings in connection with the sale of the vessel “Navios Aurora I”). The aggregate amount of the declared distribution was $6,494.

     During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 the aggregate amount of cash distribution paid was $16,203.

       Basic net income per unit is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per unit is calculated in the same manner as net income per unit, except that the weighted average number of outstanding units is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding unit options or phantom units. There were no options or phantom units outstanding during the three month period and the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

     The general partner’s 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 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. For purposes of the earnings per unit (EPU) calculations, the subordinated units and general partner units are assumed to be outstanding for periods presented prior to IPO.

NOTE 13— RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In February 2008, the FASB issued the FASB Staff Position (“FSP No. 157-2”) which delays the effective date of SFAS 157, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). For purposes of applying this FSP, nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities would include all assets and liabilities other that those meeting the definition of a financial asset or financial liability as defined in paragraph 6 of FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” This FSP defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and the interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope of this FSP. The application of SFAS 157 in future periods to those items covered by FSP 157-2 is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Navios Partners.

     In October 2008, the FASB issued the FASB Staff Position (“FSP No. 157-3”) which clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active. This FSP applies to financial assets within the scope of accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements in accordance with Statement 157. The FSP shall be effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. Revisions resulting from a change in the valuation technique or its application shall be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate (“FASB Statement No. 154 “Accounting changes and Error Corrections”, paragraph 19). The disclosure provisions of Statement No. 154 for a change in accounting estimate are not required for revisions resulting from a change in valuation technique or its application. The application of FSP 157-3 does not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of Navios Partners.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed any non controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. Navios Partners does not expect any potential impact at the date of the adoption of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements

     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statement—amendments of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit amounts)

profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Navios Partners does not expect any potential impact at the date of the adoption of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

     In March 2008, the FASB issued its final consensus on “Issue 07-4 – Application of the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, to Master Limited Partnerships”. This issue may impact a publicly traded master limited partnership (MLP) that distributes “available” cash to the limited partners (LPs), the general partner (GP), and the holders of incentive distribution rights (IDRs). This issue addresses earnings-per-unit (EPU) computations for all MLPs with IDR interests. MLPs will need to determine the amount of “available cash” at the end of a reporting period when calculating the period’s EPU. This guidance in Issue 07-4 would be effective for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2008, and would be accounted for as a change in accounting principle through retrospective application. Early application would not be permitted. Navios Partners is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of Issue 07-4 under FASB Statement No. 128 on its consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP 142-3 “Determination of the useful life of intangible assets”. This FASB Staff Position (FSP) amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under Statement 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This FSP will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. Navios Partners is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP 142-3 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. Statement 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Navios Partners is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 162 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
