Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

     The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 of Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (referred to herein as “we”, “us” or “Navios Partners”). 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’ 2009 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and 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, fluctuation of charter rates, 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.

Recent Developments

     On February 8, 2010, Navios Partners completed its public offering of 3,500,000 common units at $15.51 per unit and raised gross proceeds of approximately $54.3 million to fund its fleet expansion. The net proceeds of this offering, including discount and excluding estimated offering costs of $0.2 million, were approximately $51.8 million. Pursuant to this offering, Navios Partners issued 71,429 additional general partnership units to its General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $1.1 million. On the same date, Navios Partners completed the exercise of the overallotment option, previously granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering, and issued 525,000 additional common units at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. As a result of the exercise of the overallotment option, Navios Partners raised additional gross proceeds of $8.1 million and net proceeds of approximately $7.8 million. Navios Partners issued 10,714 additional general partnership units to its General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $0.2 million.

     On March 18, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) the vessel Navios Aurora II for a purchase price of $110.0 million. Upon delivery of the vessel, the remaining term of its charter-out contract was 9.7 years at a net hire rate of $41,325 per day. The purchase price of the vessel consisted of 1,174,219 common units of Navios Partners issued to Navios Holdings and $90.0 million cash. The number of common units were issued at $17.0326 per unit, which reflects the NYSE’s volume weighted average price of the common units for the 5-business day period prior to the acquisition of the vessel. Navios Partners financed the cash portion of the purchase price with $60.0 million proceeds from the offering of 4,025,000 units described above, that was completed on February 8, 2010, and a $30.0 million drawdown under a new tranche to its existing credit facility. Navios Partners issued 23,964 additional general partnership units to its General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $0.4 million.

     As of April 28, 2010, there were outstanding: 29,491,034 common units, 7,621,843 subordinated units, 1,000,000 subordinated Series A units and 777,815 general partnership units. Navios Holdings owns a 35.2% interest in Navios Partners, which includes the 2% general partner interest.

Overview

General

     Navios Partners is an international owner and operator of dry bulk vessels, formed in August 2007 by Navios Holdings, a vertically integrated seaborne shipping and logistics company with over 55 years of operating history in the dry bulk shipping industry. Navios Partners completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,000,000 common units and the concurrent sale of 500,000 common units to a corporation owned by Angeliki Frangou, Navios Partners’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, on November 16, 2007. Navios Partners used the proceeds of these sales of approximately $193.3 million, plus $160.0 million funded from its revolving credit facility as subsequently amended (the “Credit Facility”) to acquire its initial fleet of vessels. Six vessels have been acquired since the IPO and the fleet currently consists of ten Panamax vessels, two Capesize vessels and one Ultra-Handymax vessel.

     In January 2009, Navios Partners amended the terms of its Credit Facility. The amendment was effective until January 15, 2010 and provided for (a) the repayment of $40.0 million which took place on February 9, 2009, (b) maintenance of a minimum reserve balance into a pledged account with the agent bank as follows: $2.5 million on January 31, 2009; $5.0 million on March 31, 2009; $7.5 million on June 30, 2009; $10.0 million on September 30, 2009; and $12.5 million on December 31, 2009 and (c) a margin of

2.25%. Further, the covenants were amended by (a) reducing the minimum net worth covenant to $100.0 million, (b) reducing the value maintenance covenant (“VMC”) to be 100% using charter free vessel values, (c) adjusting the minimum leverage covenant to be calculated using charter inclusive adjusted values until December 31, 2009 and (d) adding a new VMC based on charter inclusive valuations set at 143%.

     On January 11, 2010, Navios Partners further amended its Credit Facility and borrowed an additional amount of $24.0 million to finance the acquisitions of the Navios Apollon, the Navios Sagittarius and the Navios Hyperion. The amended facility agreement provides for (a) prepayment of $12.5 million held in a pledged account, that took place on January 11, 2010, (b) margin from 1.00% to 1.45% depending on the loan to value ratio, (c) increase of the minimum net worth to $135.0 million, (d) VMC to be above 143% using charter free values and (e) the minimum leverage covenant to be calculated using charter free values. The new covenants were effective commencing January 15, 2010. The commitment fee for undrawn amounts under the amended terms is 0.50%.

     On March 30, 2010, Navios Partners entered into an amendment to its Credit Facility and borrowed an additional amount of $30.0 million under a new tranche to partially finance the acquisition of Navios Aurora II. The amendment provides for, among other things, a new margin from 1.25% to 1.65% depending on the loan to value ratio.

     As of March 31, 2010, Navios Partners was in compliance with the financial covenants of its Credit Facility.

Equity Offerings

     During the fiscal year 2009, Navios Partners completed three equity offerings and issued a total amount of 10,660,400 common units and raised gross proceeds of $134.3 million (excluding the general partner contribution) to fund its fleet expansion.

     On February 8, 2010, Navios Partners completed its public offering of 3,500,000 common units at $15.51 per unit and raised gross proceeds of approximately $54.3 million to fund its fleet expansion. On the same date, Navios Partners completed the exercise of the overallotment option previously granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering of 3,500,000 common units and issued 525,000 additional common units at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. As a result of the exercise of the overallotment option, Navios Partners raised additional gross proceeds of $8.1 million.

Fleet

     Our fleet consists of ten active Panamax vessels, two Capesize vessels and one Ultra-Handymax vessel.

     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.

     The following table provides summary information about our fleet:

Our Charters

     We generate revenues by charging our customers for the use of our vessels to transport their dry bulk commodities. All of the vessels in our fleet are chartered-out under time charters, which range in length from three to ten years at inception. We may in the future operate vessels in the spot market until the vessels have been chartered under appropriate long-term charters.

     For the three month period ended March 31, 2010, we had ten charter counterparties, the most significant of which were Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd, Cargill International S.A., Cosco Bulk Carrier and the Sanko Steamship Co., and accounted for approximately 33.1%, 14.0%, 10.8% and 10.2%, respectively, of total revenues. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, we had eight charter counterparties, the most significant of which were Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., Cargill International S.A., The Sanko Steamship Co. Ltd., Daiichi Chuo Kisen Kaisha and Augustea Imprese Maritime, and accounted for approximately 34.3%, 18.8%, 13.0%, 9.6% and 9.3%, respectively, of our total revenues. We believe that the combination of the long-term nature of our charters (which provide for

the receipt of a fixed fee for the life of the charter) and our management agreement with Navios ShipManagement Inc. (the “Manager”) (which provides for a fixed management fee through November 16, 2011) will provide us with a strong base of stable cash flows.

     Our revenues are driven by the number of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which the vessels operate and our charter hire rates, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

	•		the duration of the charters;
	•		the level of spot and long-term market rates at the time of charter;
	•		decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;
	•		the amount of time spent positioning vessels;
	•		the amount of time that vessels spend undergoing repairs and upgrades in dry dock;
	•		the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and
	•		the aggregate level of supply and demand in the dry bulk shipping industry.

     Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to long-term which may be many years. In general, a long-term time charter assures the vessel owner of a consistent stream of revenue. Operating the vessel in the spot market affords the owner greater spot market opportunity, which may result in high rates when vessels are in high demand or low rates when vessel availability exceeds demand. We intend to operate our vessels in the long-term charter market. Please read “Risk Factors” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

Trends and Factors Affecting Our Future Results of Operations

     We believe the principal factors that will affect our future results of operations are the economic, regulatory, political and governmental conditions that affect the shipping industry generally and that affect conditions in countries and markets in which our vessels engage in business. Please read “Risk Factors” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

Period over Period Comparisons

For the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2010 compared to Three Month Period ended March 31, 2009

     Time charter and voyage revenues: Time charter and voyage revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 increased by $8.2 million or 38.7% to $29.4 million as compared to $21.2 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisitions of the rights to the Navios Sagittarius in June 2009 and the acquisition of the Navios Apollon on October 29, 2009, the Navios Hyperion on January 8, 2010 and the Navios Aurora II on March 18, 2010.

     Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses decreased by $0.1 million or 3.3% to $2.9 for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $3.0 million for same period in 2009. The decrease was mainly attributable to off hire charges during the first quarter of 2010.

     Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprised of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs, decreased by $0.09 million or 75% to $0.03 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $0.12 million for the same period in 2009 due to the full amortization of dry dock and special survey costs for three of the owned vessels.

     Management fees: Management fees for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, increased by $1.4 million or 53.8% to $4.0 million as compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisitions of the Navios Apollon on October 29, 2009, the Navios Hyperion on January 8, 2010, the Navios Sagittarius on January 12, 2010 and the Navios Aurora II on March 18, 2010.

     In accordance with the management agreement entered into by Navios Partners, the Manager provides all of Navios Partners’ owned vessels with commercial and technical management services for a daily fee of $4,400 per owned Panamax vessel, $5,500 per owned Capesize vessel and $4,500 per owned Ultra-Handymax vessel until November 16, 2011.

     General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million or 22.2%, to $1.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $0.9 million for the same period of 2009. The increase is mainly attributable to the increase in administrative expenses paid to the Manager due to the increased number of vessels in Navios Partners’ fleet.

     Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager provides administrative services and is reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of these services. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the expenses charged by the Manager for administrative fees were $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The balance of $0.5 million of general and administrative expenses for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, relate to legal and professional fees, as well as audit fees and directors’ fees.

     Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization amounted to $7.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to $3.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The increase of $4.4 million is attributable to (a) an increase in depreciation expense of $1.2 million due to the acquisitions of the Navios Apollon on October 29, 2009, the Navios Sagittarius on January 12, 2010, the Navios Hyperion on January 8, 2010 and the Navios Aurora II on March 18, 2010; (b) an increase in amortization expense of $3.2 million due to the backlog assets that were recognized in relation to the acquisition of the rights on the time charter out contracts of the vessels mentioned above.

     Interest expense and finance cost, net: Interest expense and finance cost, net for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 decreased to $1.2 million as compared to $2.4 million in the same period of 2009. The decrease is due to the lower weighted average interest rate of 2.12% for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 compared to 4.27% for the same period in 2009, and the decrease in average outstanding loan balance to $205.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $216.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009 the outstanding loan balance under Navios Partners’ Credit Facility was $236.5 million and $195.0 million, respectively.

     Interest income: Interest income increased by $0.1 million to $0.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $0.1 million for the same period of 2009.

     Other income and expenses, net: Other income and expenses, net decreased by $0.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the respective period of 2009.

     Net income: Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 amounted to $12.6 million compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in net income of $3.6 million is due to the factors discussed above.

     Operating Surplus: Navios Partners generated Operating Surplus for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 of $17.8 million compared to $10.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. Operating Surplus is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of Navios Partners and other master limited partnerships (See “Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Cash from Operating Activities, Operating Surplus and Available Cash for Distribution” contained herein).

     Seasonality: Since Navios Partners’ vessels operate under long-term charters, the results of operations are not generally subject to the effect of seasonable variations in demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Credit Facility

     In November 2007, Navios Partners entered into a $260.0 million Credit Facility with DVB Bank AG and Commerzbank AG which was amended in June 2008, in part, to increase the available borrowings by $35.0 million, in anticipation of purchasing the Navios Hope, thereby increasing the total facility to $295.0 million. The availability of $60.0 million was terminated in June 2009.

     In January 2009, Navios Partners further amended the terms of its Credit Facility. The amendment was effective until January 15, 2010 and provided for (a) the repayment of $40.0 million which took place on February 9, 2009, (b) maintenance of a minimum reserve balance into a pledged account with the agent bank as follows: $2.5 million on January 31, 2009; $5.0 million on March 31, 2009; $7.5 million on June 30, 2009; $10.0 million on September 30, 2009; and $12.5 million on December 31, 2009 and (c) a margin of 2.25%. Further, the covenants were amended by (a) reducing the minimum net worth covenant to $100.0 million, (b) reducing the value maintenance covenant (“VMC”) to be 100% using charter free vessel values, (c) adjusting the minimum leverage covenant to be calculated using charter inclusive adjusted values until December 31, 2009 and (d) adding a new VMC based on charter inclusive valuations set at 143%.

     On January 11, 2010, Navios Partners amended its existing Credit Facility and borrowed an additional amount of $24.0 million to finance the acquisitions of Navios Apollon, Navios Sagittarius and Navios Hyperion. The amended facility agreement provides for (a) prepayment of $12.5 million held in a pledged account, which took place on January 11, 2010, (b) a margin from 1.00% to 1.45% depending on the loan to value ratio, (c) an increase of the minimum net worth to $135.0 million, (d) adjustment of the VMC to be above 143% using charter free values and (e) adjustment of the minimum leverage covenant to be calculated using charter free values. The new covenants were effective commencing January 15, 2010. The commitment fee for undrawn amounts under the amended terms is 0.50%.

     On March 30, 2010, Navios Partners entered into an amendment to its Credit Facility and borrowed an additional amount of $30.0 million under a new tranche to partially finance the acquisition of Navios Aurora II. The amendment provides for, among other things, a new margin from 1.25% to 1.65% depending on the loan to value ratio.

     Currently, the total borrowings under the Credit Facility are $236.5 million. As of March 31, 2010, 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.

     Net income increased by $3.6million, to $12.6 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2010, from $9.0 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2009. In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, net income is adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization of $7.7 million, $0.1 million amortization and write-off of deferred financing cost and $0.03 million amortization of deferred dry dock costs. For the same period ended March 31, 2009, net income is also adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization of $3.3 million, $0.1 million amortization and write-off of deferred financing cost and $0.1 million amortization of deferred dry dock costs.

     Amounts due to related parties increased by $6.3 million, from $2.0 million at December 31, 2009, to $8.3 million at March 31, 2010. The main reason for such increase was: (a) the increase in management fees’ balance by $4.0 million due to the acquisition of Navios Hyperion on January 8, 2010, the Navios Sagittarius on January 12, 2010 as an owned vessel and the Navios Aurora II in March 18, 2010; (b) the increase in administrative expenses’ balance of $0.6 million and (c) the decrease in other expenses’ balance due to affiliated companies by $1.7 million.

     Restricted cash decreased by $12.5 million, from $13.3 million at December 31, 2009, to $0.8 million at March 31, 2010. This decrease, presented in financing activities, was due to the loan prepayment of the $12.5 million held as pledged cash that took place in January 2010.

     Accounts receivable increased by $0.2 million, from $0.6 million at December 31, 2009, to $0.8 million at March 31, 2010. This increase was due to the increase in amounts due from charterers.

     Deferred voyage revenue primarily reflects charter hire collected on voyages that have not been completed. Deferred voyage revenue, net of commissions decreased by $1.4 million from $26.8 million at December 31, 2009 to $25.4 million at March 31, 2010. Out of $25.4 million at March 31, 2010, the amount of $6.8 million and $16.1 million represents the short and long term portion, respectively, of unamortized deferred revenue received from the counterparty to the Navios Hope. In January 2009, Navios Partners and its counterparty to the Navios Hope charter mutually agreed for a lump sum amount of approximately $30.4 million or $29.6 million, net of expenses. Under a new charter agreement, the balance of the aggregate value of the original contract will be allocated to the period until its original expiration. The amount of $30.4 million has been recognized as deferred revenue and amortized over the life of the vessel’s contract.

     Accounts payable increased by $0.5 million, from $0.5 million at December 31, 2009, to $1.0 million at March 31, 2010. The increase is attributed to the increase in brokers’ payable by $0.1 million, the increase in professional and legal fees payable by $0.3 million and an increase in other payable by $0.1 million.

     Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $1.5 million from $0.8 million at December 31, 2009 to $2.3 million at March 31, 2010. The main reason for the increase was the $1.9 million insurance claim that is related to the Navios Apollon capture by pirates in December 2009, mitigated by (a) the decrease in prepaid voyage costs by $0.3 million; and (b) the net decrease in other assets by $0.1 million.

     Accrued expenses decreased by $0.1 million from $1.8 million at December 31, 2009 to $1.7 million at March 31, 2010. The primary reason for this decrease was (a) a decrease in accrued loan interest by $0.2 million; and (b) a decrease in accrued legal and professional fees of $0.1 million, mitigated by a $0.2 million increase in accrued voyage expenses.

     Other long term assets increased by $0.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010, from $0 as at March 31, 2009. This increase is due to the long term portion of the straight line adjustment in relation to the Navios Hyperion time charter revenue.

     Cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2009:

     Net cash used in investing activities was $175.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2009.

     Cash used in investing activities of $175.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 is related to (a) the acquisition of the Navios Hyperion from Navios Holdings on January 8, 2010, for a cash payment of $63.0 million; (b) the acquisition of Navios Sagittarius on January 12, 2010, from Navios Holdings for a cash payment of $22.5 million; (c) an additional amount of $0.3million being capitalized costs paid for the acquisition of the Navios Sagittarius; and (d) the acquisition of the Navios Aurora II on March 18, 2010, from Navios Holdings, which included a cash payment of $90.0 million.

     Cash provided by/ (used in) financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2009:

     Net cash provided by/ (used in) financing activities increased by $153.4 million to $99.5 million inflow for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $53.9 million outflow for the same period in 2009.

     Cash provided by financing activities of $99.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 was due to: (a) $59.5 million proceeds from the issuance of 4,025,000 common units in February 2010, net of offering costs; (b) $1.7 million from the issuance of additional general partnership units pursuant to the offering of 4,025,000 common units in February 2010 and the issuance of 1,174,219 common units to Navios Holdings in March 2010 in relation to the acquisition of the Navios Aurora II; (c) proceeds of $24.0 million on January 12, 2010, under the amendment dated January 11, 2010 to the Credit Facility; (d) proceeds of $30.0 million on March 31, 2010, under the amendment dated March 30, 2010 to the Credit Facility; and (e) release of restricted cash by $12.5 million. This overall increase was mitigated by: (a) prepayment of $12.5 million which took place in January 2010, according to the amendment dated January 11, 2010 to the Credit Facility; (b) payment of $0.6 million financing costs relating to the amendments to the Credit Facility, described above; and (c) payment of a total cash distribution of $15.1 million.

     EBITDA

     EBITDA represents net income plus interest and finance costs plus depreciation and amortization and income taxes. EBITDA is included because it is used by certain investors to measure a company’s financial performance. EBITDA is a “non-GAAP financial

measure” and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

     EBITDA is presented to provide additional information with respect to Navios Partners’ ability to satisfy its obligations including debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and determination of cash distribution. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

     EBITDA increased by $6.6 million to $21.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 as compared to $14.7 million for the same period of 2009. This $6.6 million increase in EBITDA was primarily due to a $8.2 million increase in revenue as a result of the delivery into Navios Partners’ fleet of Navios Sagittarius in June 2009, Navios Apollon in October 2009, Navios Hyperion in January 2010 and Navios Aurora II in March 2010.. The above increase was mitigated by: (a) a $1.4 million increase in management fees as a result of the increased number of vessels in Navios Partners’ fleet; and (b) an increase in general and administrative expenses by $0.2 million.

     Operating Surplus

     Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest expense and 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.

     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 US GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of Navios Partners’ performance required by accounting 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 Navios Partners’ business (including reserve for maintenance and replacement capital expenditures);
	•		comply with applicable law, any of Navios Partners’ debt instruments, or other agreements; or
	•		provide funds for distributions to the unitholders and to the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters;
	•		plus all cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter. Working capital borrowings are generally borrowings that are made under any revolving credit or similar agreement used solely for working capital purposes or to pay distributions to partners.

     Available Cash is a quantitative measure used in the publicly traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Available cash is not required by US GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of Navios Partners’ performance required by US GAAP.

Borrowings

     Navios Partners’ long-term third party borrowings are reflected in its balance sheet as “Long-term debt, net” and as current liabilities in “Current portion of long-term debt.” As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, long-term debt amounted to $236.5 million and $195.0 million, respectively, of which the current portion of long-term debt amounted to $0 for the respective periods in 2010 and 2009.

Capital Expenditures

     During the three months ended March 31, 2010, Navios Partners financed its capital expenditures with cash flow from operations, owners’ contribution, equity raising and bank borrowings. Capital expenditures for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $175.8 and $0, respectively. The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $3.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

     Maintenance for vessels and expenses related to dry docking are included in the fee Navios Partners pays the Manager under its

management agreement. Navios Partners pays the Manager a daily fee of (a) $4,400 per owned Panamax vessel, (b) $5,500 per owned Capesize vessel and (c) $4,500 per owned Ultra-Handymax vessel, which is fixed until November 16, 2011, to provide such commercial and technical services to the vessels in its initial fleet. The fee Navios Partners pays to the Manager includes any costs associated with scheduled dry dockings during the term of the management agreement.

Replacement Reserve

     We estimate that our annual replacement reserve for the year ending December 31, 2010, will be approximately $13.8 million, for replacing our vessels at the end of their useful lives.

     As of January 2010, the amount for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures attributable to future vessel replacement was based on the following assumptions: (i) current market price to purchase a five year old vessel of similar size and specifications; (ii) a 25-year useful life; and (iii) a relative net investment rate.

     Our board of directors, with the approval of the conflicts committee, may determine that one or more of our assumptions should be revised, which could cause our board of directors to increase or decrease the amount of estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. The actual cost of replacing the vessels in our fleet will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions, charter hire rates and the availability and cost of financing at the time of replacement. We may elect to finance some or all or our maintenance and replacement capital expenditures through the issuance of additional common units which could be dilutive to existing unitholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Contractual Obligations and Contingencies

Cash Distribution Policy

     Rationale for Our Cash Distribution Policy

     Our cash distribution policy reflects a basic judgment that our unitholders are better served by distributing our cash available (after deducting expenses, including estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures and reserves) rather than retaining it. Because we believe we will generally finance any expansion capital expenditures from external financing sources or through equity raising, we believe that our investors are best served by our distributing 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.

     Our ability to make distributions to our unitholders depends on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us may be restricted by, among other things, the provisions of existing and future indebtedness, applicable partnership and limited liability company laws and other laws and regulations.

     Minimum Quarterly Distribution

     We intend to distribute to the holders of common units and subordinated units on a quarterly basis at least the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit, or $1.40 per unit per year, to the extent we have sufficient cash on hand to pay the distribution after we establish cash reserves and pay fees and expenses. The amount of available cash from Operating Surplus needed to pay the minimum quarterly distribution for four quarters on all units outstanding (excluding subordinated Series A units) and the related distribution on the 2.0% general partner interest is approximately $53.0 million. There is no guarantee that we will pay the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units and subordinated units in any quarter. Even if our cash distribution policy is not modified or revoked, the amount of distributions paid under our policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by our board of directors, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement. We are prohibited from making any distributions to unitholders if it would cause an event of default, or an event of default exists, under our existing revolving credit agreement.

     On January 25, 2010, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 of $0.41 per unit. The distribution was paid on February 11, 2010 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units (not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on February 8, 2010. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution was $15.1 million.

     On April 26, 2010, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 of $0.415 per unit. The distribution is payable on May 13, 2010 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units (not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on May 10, 2010. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution is $15.8 million.

     Subordination period

     During the subordination period the common units have the right to receive distributions of available cash from Operating Surplus in an amount equal to the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.35 per unit, plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units from prior quarters, before any distributions of available cash from Operating Surplus may

be made on the subordinated units (other than the subordinated Series A units). Distribution arrearages do not accrue on the subordinated units. The purpose of the subordinated units is to increase the likelihood that during the subordination period there will be available cash to be distributed on the common units.

     Incentive Distribution Rights

     Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from Operating Surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. Our general partner currently holds the incentive distribution rights, but may transfer these rights separately from its general partner interest, subject to restrictions in the partnership agreement. Except for transfers of incentive distribution rights to an affiliate or another entity as part of our general 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.

						Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
						Common and
		Total Quarterly Distribution				Subordinated
		Target Amount				Unitholders				General 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	%

     Related Party Transactions

     Management fees: Pursuant to the management agreement dated November 16, 2007, which was revised in October 2009, the Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, provides commercial and technical management services to Navios Partners’ vessels for a daily fee of: (a) $4,500 daily rate per Ultra-Handymax vessel, (b) $4,400 daily rate per Panamax vessel and (c) $5,500 daily rate per Capesize vessel for the two-year period ending November 16, 2011.

     This daily fee covers all of the vessels’ operating expenses, including the cost of drydock and special surveys. The initial term of the agreement is until November 16, 2012. Total management fees for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 amounted to $4.1 million ($2.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2009).

     General and 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.

     Total general and administrative expenses charged by Navios Holdings for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 amounted to $0.6 million ($0.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2009).

     Balance due to related parties: Included in the current liabilities as at March 31, 2010 is an amount of $8.3 million, which represents the current account payable to Navios Holdings and its subsidiaries. The balance mainly consists of the management fees amounting to $7.1 million and administrative service fees and other expenses amounting to $1.2 million.

     Vessel Acquisitions: On January 8, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the vessel Navios Hyperion for a purchase price of $63.0 million. Upon delivery of the vessel, the remaining term of its charter-out contract was 4.2 years at a net hire of $32,300 per day until February, 2010 and $37,953 per day until April 2014.

     On March 18, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the vessel Navios Aurora II for a purchase price of $110.0 million. Upon delivery of the vessel, the remaining term of its charter-out contract was 9.7 years at a net hire of $41,325 per day. The purchase price of the vessel consists of 1,174,219 common units of Navios Partners issued to Navios Holdings and $90.0 million cash. The number of common units were issued at $17.0326, which reflects the NYSE’s volume weighted average price of the common units for the 5-business day period prior to the acquisition of the vessel.

     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

     Foreign Exchange Risk

     Our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We engage in worldwide commerce with a variety of entities. Although our operations may expose us to certain levels of foreign currency risk, our transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized.

     Interest Rate Risk

     Borrowings under our Credit 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 three month period ended March 31, 2010, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 2.12%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 by $0.5 million. For the three month period ended March 31, 2009, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 4.27%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 by $0.5 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 three month period ended March 31, 2010, we had ten charter counterparties, the most significant of which were Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd, Cargill International S.A., Cosco Bulk Carrier and Sanko Steamship Co., and accounted for approximately 33.1%, 14.0%, 10.8% and 10.2%, respectively, of total revenues. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, we had eight charter counterparties, the most significant of which were Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., Cargill International S.A., The Sanko Steamship Co. Ltd., Daiichi Chuo Kisen Kaisha and Augustea Imprese Maritime, and accounted for approximately 34.3%, 18.8%, 13.0%, 9.6% and 9.3%, respectively, of our total revenues. As our counterparties obligations to us are unsecured, 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, dry docking expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our management does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to direct expenses in the current and foreseeable economic environment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Transfers of Financial Assets

     In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance concerning the transfer of financial assets. This guidance amends the criteria for a transfer of a financial asset to be accounted for as a sale, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets, eliminates the qualifying special-purpose entity concept and provides for new disclosures. This new guidance was effective for Navios Partners for transfers of financial assets beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2010 and its adoption did not have any significant effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Determining the Primary Beneficiary of a Variable Interest Entity

     In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance concerning the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This new guidance amends current US GAAP by: requiring ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; amending the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of the VIE; modifying the guidance used to determine whether an equity is a VIE; adding an additional reconsideration event (e.g. troubled debt restructurings) for determining whether an entity is a VIE; and requiring enhanced disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement with a VIE.

     This new guidance was effective for Navios Partners beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2010 and its adoption did not have any significant effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Navios Partners will continue to consider the impacts of this new guidance on an on-going basis.

Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value

     In August 2009, the FASB released new guidance concerning measuring liabilities at fair value. The new guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain valuation techniques. Additionally, it clarifies that a reporting entity is not required to adjust the fair value of a liability for the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. This new guidance is effective for the first reporting period after its issuance, however earlier application is permitted. The application of this new guidance did not have a significant impact on Navios Partners’ consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosures

     In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards requiring additional fair value disclosures. The amended standards require disclosures of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as well as requiring gross basis disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the Level 3 reconciliation. Additionally, the update clarifies the requirement to determine the level of disaggregation for fair value measurement disclosures and to disclose valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements in either Level 2 or Level 3. Navios Partners adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and settlements, which will be effective for Navios Partners beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption of the new standards has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on Navios Partners’ consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

     In February 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance on subsequent events. SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and Navios Partners adopted these new requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

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’ 2009 annual report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     Impairment of Long Lived Assets

     Vessels, other fixed assets and other long lived assets held and used by Navios Partners are reviewed periodically for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular asset may not be fully recoverable. In accordance with accounting for the “impairment or disposal of long-lived assets”, Navios Partners’ management evaluates the carrying amounts and periods over which long-lived assets are depreciated to determine if events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would require modification to their carrying values or useful lives. In evaluating useful lives and carrying values of long-lived assets, certain indicators of potential impairment, are reviewed such as undiscounted projected operating cash flows, vessel sales and purchases, business plans and overall market conditions. Undiscounted projected net operating cash flows are determined for each vessel and compared to the vessel carrying value. In the event that impairment occurred, the fair value of the related asset is determined and a charge is recorded to operations calculated by comparing the asset’s carrying value to the estimated fair market value. Fair market value is estimated primarily through the use of third-party valuations performed on an individual vessel basis. As of March 31, 2010, there were no triggering events that would indicate potential impairment.

     Vessels

     Vessels are stated at historical cost, which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (improvements and delivery expenses). Subsequent expenditures for major improvements and upgrading are capitalized, provided they appreciably extend the life, increase the 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.

     Intangible assets

     Navios Partners’ intangible assets and liabilities consist of backlog assets, favorable lease terms (including purchase options) and unfavorable lease terms.

     The amortizable value of favorable leases would be considered impaired if their fair market value could not be recovered from the future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset. Vessel purchase options, which are included in favorable lease terms, are not amortized and would be considered impaired if the carrying value of an option, when added to the option price of the vessel, exceeded the fair market value of the vessel.

     Deferred Dry Dock and Special Survey Costs

     Our vessels are subject to regularly scheduled dry docking and special surveys which are carried out every 30 or 60 months to coincide with the renewal of the related certificates issued by the classification societies, unless a further extension is obtained in rare cases and under certain conditions. The costs of dry docking and special surveys are deferred and amortized over the above periods or to the next dry docking or special survey date if such has been determined. Unamortized dry docking or special survey costs of vessels sold are written off to income in the year the vessel is sold.

     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.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit prices and amounts

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”), is an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels, formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands by Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”), a vertically integrated seaborne shipping and logistics company with over 55 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 in Navios Partners.

     In January 2009, Navios Partners amended the terms of its Credit Facility. The amendment was effective until January 15, 2010 and provided for (a) the repayment of $40,000 which took place on February 9, 2009, (b) maintenance of a minimum reserve balance into a pledged account with the agent bank as follows: $2,500 on January 31, 2009; $5,000 on March 31, 2009; $7,500 on June 30, 2009; $10,000 on September 30, 2009; and $12,500 on December 31, 2009 and (c) a margin of 2.25%. Further, the covenants were amended by (a) reducing the minimum net worth covenant to $100,000, (b) reducing the value maintenance covenant (“VMC”) to be 100% using charter free vessel values, (c) adjusting the minimum leverage covenant to be calculated using charter inclusive adjusted values until December 31, 2009 and (d) adding a new VMC based on charter inclusive valuations set at 143%.

     In October 2009, Navios Partners fixed the rate for ship management services of its owned fleet for an additional period of two years under the existing agreement with the Manager, a subsidiary of Navios Holdings. The new management fees are: (a) $4.5 daily rate per Ultra-Handymax vessel, (b) $4.4 daily rate per Panamax vessel and (c) $5.5 daily rate per Capesize vessel for the two-year period ending November 16, 2011.

     During 2009, Navios Partners completed three equity offerings, issued a total amount of 10,660,400 common units and raised gross proceeds of $134,308 to fund its fleet expansionThe net proceeds of these offerings, including discount and excluding offering costs of $937, were approximately $127,744. Pursuant to the offerings, Navios Partners issued 217,560 additional general partnership units to the General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $2,741.

     On January 8, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the vessel Navios Hyperion for a purchase price of $63,000. Upon delivery of the vessel, the remaining term of its charter-out contract was 4.2 years at a net rate of $32,300 per day until February, 2010 and $37,953 per day until April 2014.. The acquisition was partly financed with the proceeds from the public offering of 4,000,000 common units that was completed on November 24, 2009 and borrowings under its Credit Facility.

     On January 11, 2010, Navios Partners further amended its existing Credit Facility and borrowed an additional amount of $24,000 to finance the acquisitions of Navios Apollon, Navios Sagittarius and Navios Hyperion. The amended facility agreement provides for (a) prepayment of $12,500 held in a pledged account, which took place on January 11, 2010, (b) a new margin from 1.00% to 1.45% depending on the loan to value ratio, (c) an increase of the minimum net worth to $135,000, (d) adjustment of the VMC (Value Maintenance Covenant) to be above 143% using charter free values and (e) adjustment of the minimum leverage covenant to be calculated using charter free values. The new covenants have been applied after January 15, 2010. Commitment fee for undrawn

     On January 12, 2010, Navios Partners purchased the vessel Navios Sagittarius for a cash payment of $25,000. On December 16, 2009, Navios Partners exercised its option to purchase the vessel and paid $2,500 in advance and the balance of $22,500 was paid upon delivery of the vessel on January 12, 2010.

     On February 8, 2010, Navios Partners completed its public offering of 3,500,000 common units at $15.51 per unit and raised gross proceeds of approximately $54,285 to fund its fleet expansion. The net proceeds of this offering, including discount and excluding offering costs of $161, were approximately $51,842. Pursuant to this offering, Navios Partners issued 71,429 additional general partnership units to the General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $1,108. On the same date, Navios Partners completed the exercise of the overallotment option previously granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering of 3,500,000 common units and purchased 525,000 additional common units at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. Navios Partners raised gross proceeds of $8,143 and net proceeds of approximately $7,776. Navios Partners issued 10,714 additional general partnership units to the General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $166.

     On March 18, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the vessel Navios Aurora II for a purchase price of $110,000. Upon delivery of the vessel, the remaining term of its charter-out contract was 9.7 years at a net rate of $41,325 per day. The purchase price of the vessel consists of 1,174,219 common units of Navios Partners issued to Navios Holdings and $90,000 cash. The number of the common units issued was calculated based on a price of $17.0326 per common unit, which was the NYSE volume weighted average trading price of the common units for the 5 business days immediately prior to the acquisition. The per unit price at the day of the delivery was $17.31. Navios Partners financed the cash portion of the purchase price with $60,000 proceeds from the offering of 4,025,000 units that was completed in February 2010 and $30,000 drawdown under a new tranche to the existing credit facility. Navios Partners issued 23,964 additional general partnership units to the General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $408.

     As of March 31, 2010, there were outstanding: 29,491,034 common units, 7,621,843 subordinated units, 1,000,000 subordinated Series A units and 777,815 general partnership units. Navios Holdings owns a 35.2% interest in Navios Partners, including the 2% general partner interest.

     Navios Partners is engaged in the seaborne transportation services of a wide range of dry bulk 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.

     On January 8, 2010, Navios Partners purchased from Navios Holdings, the vessel Navios Hyperion for a purchase price of $63,000. Backlog assets recognized through this transaction amounted to $30,662 and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time charter out contract of the vessel (see note 5) and the amount of $32,338 was classified under vessels, net.

     On January 12, 2010, Sagittarius Shipping Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Partners (see note 2), purchased the vessel Navios Sagittarius for a cash payment of $25,000. On December 16, 2009, Navios Partners exercised its option to purchase the vessel and paid $2,500 in advance. The remaining carrying amounts of the favorable lease and the favorable purchase option of the vessel amounting to $6,760 were transferred to vessel cost (see note 5). Capitalized costs related to vessel acquisition amounted to $257 and were also included in vessel cost.

     On March 18, 2010, Navios Partners purchased from Navios Holdings, the vessel Navios Aurora II for a purchase price of $110,000, consisting of $90,000 cash and the issuance of 1,174,219 common units to Navios Holdings. The number of the common units issued was calculated based on a price of $17.0326 per common unit, which was the NYSE volume weighted average trading price of the common units for the 5 business days immediately prior to the acquisition. The per unit price at the day of the delivery was $17.31. Backlog assets recognized through this transaction amounted to $42,523 and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time charter out contract of the vessel (see note 5) and the amount of $67,803 was classified under vessels, net.

     On January 8, 2010, Navios Partners purchased from Navios Holdings, the vessel Navios Hyperion, a 2004 built Panamax vessel. Backlog assets recognized through this transaction amounted to $30,662 and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time charter out contract of the vessel.

     On March 18, 2010, Navios Partners purchased from Navios Holdings, the vessel Navios Aurora II, a 2009 built Capesize vessel. Backlog assets recognized through this transaction amounted to $42,523 and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time charter out contract of the vessel.

NOTE 6 — DEFERRED VOYAGE REVENUE

     Deferred voyage revenue primarily reflects charter-out amounts collected on voyages that have not been completed. In January 2009, Navios Partners and its counterparty to the Navios Hope charter party mutually agreed for a lump sum amount of approximately $30,443, of which Navios Partners received net of expenses in the amount of $29,589 in February 2009. Under a new charter agreement, the balance of the aggregate value of the original contract will be allocated to the period until its original expiration. The amount of $30,443 has been recognized as deferred revenue and amortized over the life of the vessel’s contract.

NOTE 7 — BORROWINGS

     Borrowings as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 consisted of the following:

		March 30,				December 31,
		2010				2009
Credit facility		$	236,500			$	195,000
Less current portion			—				—
Total long-term borrowings		$	236,500			$	195,000

     In November 2007, Navios Partners entered into a $260,000 Credit Facility with DVB Bank AG and Commerzbank AG which was amended in June 2008, in part, to increase the available borrowings by $35,000, in anticipation of purchasing the Navios Hope, thereby increasing the total availability to $295,000. The availability of the $60,000 million was terminated in June 2009.

     In January 2009, Navios Partners further amended the terms of its Credit Facility. The amendment was effective until January 15, 2010 and provided for (a) the repayment of $40,000 which took place on February 9, 2009, (b) maintenance of a minimum reserve balance into a pledged account with the agent bank as follows: $2,500 on January 31, 2009; $5,000 on March 31, 2009; $7,500 on June 30, 2009; $10,000 on September 30, 2009; and $12,500 on December 31, 2009 and (c) a margin of 2.25%. Further, the covenants were amended by (a) reducing the minimum net worth covenant to $100,000, (b) reducing the value maintenance covenant (“VMC”) to be 100% using charter free vessel values, (c) adjusting the minimum leverage covenant to be calculated using charter inclusive adjusted values until December 31, 2009 and (d) adding a new VMC based on charter inclusive valuations set at 143%.

     On January 11, 2010, Navios Partners amended its existing Credit Facility and borrowed an additional amount of $24,000 to

NAVIOS MARITIME PARTNERS L.P.
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit prices and amounts)

finance the acquisitions of Navios Apollon, Navios Sagittarius and Navios Hyperion. The amended facility agreement provides for (a) prepayment of $12,500 held in a pledged account, which took place on January 11, 2010, (b) an increase of the minimum net worth to $135,000, (c) adjustment of the VMC (Value Maintenance Covenant) to be above 143% using charter free values and (d) adjustment of the minimum leverage covenant to be calculated using charter free values. The new covenants have been applied after January 15, 2010. Commitment fee for undrawn amounts under the amended terms is 0.50%.

     On March 30, 2010, Navios Partners entered into an amendment to its Credit Facility and borrowed an additional amount of $30.0 million under a new tranche to partially finance the acquisition of Navios Aurora II. The amendment provides for, among other things, a new margin from 1.25% to 1.65% depending on the loan to value ratio.

     Currently, the total borrowings under the Credit Facility are $236,500. As of March 31, 2010, 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’ $236,500 outstanding balance as of March 31, 2010.

Year		Amount
2011		$	—
2012		$	8,700
2013		$	34,300

NOTE 8— FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The carrying value amounts of many of Navios Partners’ financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due primarily to the short-term maturity related instruments.

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.

Borrowings: The carrying amount of the floating rate loans approximates its fair value.

     The estimated fair values of the Navios Partners’ financial instruments are as follows:

		March 31, 2010
		Book Value				Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalent			25,373				25,373
Restricted cash			823				823
Accounts receivable, net			837				837
Accounts payable			(1,042	)			(1,042	)
Amounts due to related parties			(8,227	)			(8,227	)
Long-term debt			(236,500	)			(236,500	)

NOTE 9— ISSUANCE OF UNITS

     On February 8, 2010, Navios Partners completed its public offering of 3,500,000 common units at $15.51 per unit and raised gross proceeds of approximately $54,285 to fund its fleet expansion. The net proceeds of this offering, including discount and excluding offering costs of $161, were approximately $51,842. Pursuant to this offering, Navios Partners issued 71,429 additional general partnership units to the General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $1,108. On the same

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit prices and amounts)

date, Navios Partners completed the exercise of the overallotment option previously granted to the underwriters in connection with the offering of 3,500,000 common units and purchased 525,000 additional common units at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. Navios Partners raised gross proceeds of $8,143 and net proceeds of approximately $7,776. Navios Partners issued 10,714 additional general partnership units to the General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $166.

     On March 18, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the vessel Navios Aurora II for a purchase price of $110,000. The purchase price of the vessel consists of 1,174,219 common units of Navios Partners issued to Navios Holdings and $90,000 cash. The number of common units were issued at $17.0326, which reflects the NYSE’s volume weighted average price of the common units for the 5-business day period prior to the acquisition of the vessel. Navios Partners issued 23,964 additional general partnership units to the General Partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $408.

NOTE 10— SEGMENT INFORMATION

     Navios Partners reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues. Navios Partners does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results for each type of charter. As a result, management reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus Navios Partners has determined that it operates under one reportable segment.

     The following table sets out operating revenue by geographic region for Navios Partners’ reportable segment. Revenue is allocated on the basis of the geographic region in which the customer is located. Dry bulk vessels operate worldwide. Revenues from specific geographic region which contribute over 10% of total revenue are disclosed separately.

Revenue by Geographic Region

		Three Month Period				Three Month Period
		ended				ended March 31,
		March 31, 2010				2009
Europe		$	6,333			$	6,635
Asia			18,678				12,503
Australia			2,007				2,019
North America			2,395				—
Total		$	29,413			$	21,157

     Vessels operate on a worldwide basis and are not restricted to specific locations. Accordingly, it is not possible to allocate the assets of these operations to specific countries.

NOTE 11 — INCOME TAXES

     Marshall Islands, Malta 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 12 —COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Navios Partners is involved in various disputes and arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Provisions have been recognized in the financial statements for all such proceedings where Navios Partners believes that a liability may be probable, and for which the amounts are reasonably estimable, based upon facts known at the date the financial statements were prepared.

     In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is immaterial and will not adversely affect Navios Partners’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

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

		Amount
2011			9,864
2012			9,891
2013			9,864
2014			9,864
2015			5,167
		$	44,650

NOTE 13 —TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES AND AFFILIATES

     Management fees: Pursuant to the management agreement dated November 16, 2007, which was revised in October 2009, the Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, provides commercial and technical management services to Navios Partners’ vessels for a daily fee of: (a) $4.5 daily rate per Ultra-Handymax vessel, (b) $4.4 daily rate per Panamax vessel and (c) $5.5 daily rate per Capesize vessel for the two-year period ending November 16, 2011.

This daily fee covers all of the vessels’ operating expenses, including the cost of drydock and special surveys. The initial term of the agreement is until November 16, 2012. Total management fees for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 amounted to $4,058 ($2,610 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009).

     General and 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.

     Total general and administrative expenses charged by Navios Holdings for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 amounted to $603 ($350 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009).

     Balance due to related parties: Included in the current liabilities as at March 31, 2010 is an amount of $8,342, which represents the current account payable to Navios Holdings and its subsidiaries. The balance mainly consists of the management fees amounting to $7,144 and administrative service fees and other expenses amounting to $1,183 and other expenses due to the Manager amounting to $15.

     Vessel Acquisitions: On January 8, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the vessel Navios Hyperion for a purchase price of $63,000 (see note 4).

     On March 18, 2010, Navios Partners acquired from Navios Holdings the vessel Navios Aurora II for a purchase price of $110,000. The purchase price of the vessel consists of 1,174,219 common units of Navios Partners issued to Navios Holdings and $90,000 cash. The number of common units were issued at $17.0326, which reflects the NYSE’s volume weighted average price of the common units for the 5-business day period prior to the acquisition of the vessel (see note 4).

NOTE 14 — 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 is 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 (not including holder of subordinated Series A 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 (not including holder of subordinated Series A units), pro rata, and 2% to the General Partner, until each unit has received an aggregate amount of $0.4025.

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

						Marginal Percentage Interest in
						Distributions
						Common and
		Total Quarterly Distribution				Subordinated
		Target Amount				Unitholders				General 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 January 25, 2010, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 of $0.41 per unit. The distribution was paid on February 11, 2010 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units (not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on February 8, 2010. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution was $15,087.

     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 ended March 31, 2010.

     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 partnership agreement does not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of available cash, which is a contractually defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the end of each quarter less the amount of cash reserves established by Navios Partners’ board of directors to provide for the proper conduct of Navios Partners’ business including reserves for maintenance and replacement capital expenditure and anticipated credit needs.

     The calculations of the basic and diluted earnings per unit are presented below. 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 15— RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Transfers of Financial Assets

     In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance concerning the transfer of financial assets. This guidance amends the criteria for a transfer of a financial asset to be accounted for as a sale, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets, eliminates the qualifying special-purpose entity concept and provides for new disclosures. This new guidance was effective for Navios Partners for transfers of financial assets beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2010 and its adoption did not have any significant impact on Navios Partners’ consolidated financial statements.

Determining the Primary Beneficiary of a Variable Interest Entity

     In June 2009, the FASB issued new guidance concerning the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This new guidance amends current US GAAP by: requiring ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; amending the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of the VIE; modifying the guidance used to determine whether an equity is a VIE; adding an additional reconsideration event (e.g. troubled debt restructurings) for determining whether an entity is a VIE; and requiring enhanced disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement with a VIE.

     This new guidance was effective for Navios Partners beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2010 and its adoption did not have any significant impact on Navios Partners’ consolidated financial statements. Navios Partners will continue to consider the impacts of this new guidance on an on-going basis.

Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value

     In August 2009, the FASB released new guidance concerning measuring liabilities at fair value. The new guidance provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain valuation techniques. Additionally, it clarifies that a reporting entity is not required to adjust the fair value of a liability for the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. This new guidance is effective for the first reporting period after its issuance, however earlier application is permitted. The application of this new guidance did not have a significant impact on Navios Partners’ consolidated financial statements.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except unit prices and amounts)

Fair Value Disclosures

     In January 2010, the FASB issued amended standards requiring additional fair value disclosures. The amended standards require disclosures of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as well as requiring gross basis disclosures for purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the Level 3 reconciliation. Additionally, the update clarifies the requirement to determine the level of disaggregation for fair value measurement disclosures and to disclose valuation techniques and inputs used for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new guidance was effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and settlements, which will be effective for Navios Partners beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption of the new standards has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on Navios Partners’ consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

     In February 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance on subsequent events. SEC filers are no longer required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. This guidance was effective immediately and Navios Partners adopted these new requirements in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

NOTE 16 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On April 26, 2010, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 of $0.415 per unit. The distribution is payable on May 13, 2010 to all holders of record of common, subordinated and general partner units (not including holders of subordinated Series A units) on May 10, 2010. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution is $15,799.
