Recent Developments

Construction of new Silo in the Dry Port

On April 4, 2012, Navios Logistics completed the construction of a new silo at its dry port facility in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay. As of March 31, 2012, Navios Logistics had paid $9.0 million for the silo construction ($6.4 million in 2011). The construction of the new silo with 100,000 metric tons of storage capacity increased the total storage capacity of the dry port to 460,000 metric tons.

Extension of the Capital Lease of two Cabotage Vessels for four years

On May 9, 2012, Navios Logistics agreed to extend the repayment period of its capital leases for the vessels M/T San San H and M/T Stavroula for four years up to June 2016. As a result, Navios Logistics deferred its obligation to purchase the two vessels from 2012 to 2016.

Overview

General

Navios Logistics has been incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands since December 17, 2007. Navios Logistics is one of the largest logistics companies in the Hidrovia region of South America. Navios Logistics serves the storage and marine transportation needs of its customers through two port storage and transfer facilities, one for dry bulk commodities, agricultural, forest and mineral-related exports and the other for refined petroleum products, and a diverse fleet, consisting of vessels, barges and pushboats. Navios Logistics has combined its ports in Uruguay and Paraguay with its versatile fleet to create an end-to-end logistics solution for customers seeking to transport mineral and grain commodities and liquid cargoes through the Hidrovia region. Navios Logistics provides transportation for liquid cargo (hydrocarbons such as crude oil, gas oil, naphtha, fuel oil and vegetable oils), liquefied cargo (liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)) and dry cargo (cereals, cotton pellets, soybeans, wheat, limestone (clinker), mineral iron, and rolling stones).

On January 1, 2008, pursuant to a share purchase agreement, Navios Holdings contributed (i) $112.2 million in cash and (ii) the authorized capital stock of its wholly owned subsidiary Corporacion Navios Sociedad Anonima (“CNSA”) in exchange for the issuance and delivery of 12,765 of Navios Logistics’ shares, representing 63.8% (or 67.2% excluding contingent consideration) of Navios Logistics’ outstanding stock. Navios Logistics acquired all ownership interests in the Horamar Group (“Horamar”) in exchange for (i) $112.2 million in cash, of which $5.0 million was kept in escrow, payable upon the attainment of certain EBITDA targets during specified periods through December 2008 (the “EBITDA Adjustment”) and (ii) the issuance of 7,235 of Navios Logistics’ shares representing 36.2% (or 32.8% excluding contingent consideration) of Navios Logistics’ outstanding stock, of which 1,007 shares were kept in escrow pending attainment of certain EBITDA targets. CNSA owned and operated the largest bulk transfer and storage port terminal in Uruguay. Horamar was a privately held Argentina-based group specializing in

the transportation and storage of liquid cargoes and the transportation of drybulk cargoes in South America along the Hidrovia river system. The combination of CNSA and Horamar under the Navios Logistics umbrella created one of the largest logistics businesses in the Hidrovia region of South America.

In November 2008, $2.5 million in cash and 503 shares were released from escrow when Horamar achieved the interim EBITDA target. As a result, Navios Holdings owned 65.5% (excluding 504 shares that remained in escrow as of such November 2008 date) of Navios Logistics’ stock.

On March 20, 2009, August 19, 2009, and December 30, 2009, the agreement pursuant to which Navios Logistics acquired CNSA and Horamar was amended to postpone until June 30, 2010 the date for determining whether the EBITDA target was achieved. On June 17, 2010, $2.5 million in cash and the 504 shares remaining in escrow were released from escrow upon the achievement of the EBITDA target threshold.

On July 25, 2011, Navios Logistics acquired the noncontrolling interests of its joint ventures, Thalassa Energy S.A., HS Tankers Inc., HS Navigation Inc., HS Shipping Ltd. Inc. and HS South Inc., in accordance with the terms of certain stock purchase agreements with HS Energy Ltd., an affiliate of Vitol S.A. (“Vitol”). Navios Logistics paid a total consideration of $8.5 million for such noncontrolling interests ($8.6 million including transaction expenses).

Ports

Navios Logistics owns two port storage and transfer facilities, one for agricultural, forest and mineral-related exports in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay and the other for refined petroleum products in San Antonio, Paraguay. Navios Logistics’ port facility in Nueva Palmira has a total storage capacity of 460,000 metric tons. Its port facility in San Antonio has a total storage capacity of 38,560 cubic meters.

Fleet

Our current core fleet consists of a total of 296 vessels, barges and pushboats of which 278 are owned and 18 are chartered-in under long-term charter-in contracts.

Eighteen vessels of our current core fleet, 16 tank barges and 2 pushboats, are chartered-in under long-term charter-in contracts with an average remaining duration of approximately 1.9 years. Long-term charter-in contracts are considered to be charter-in contracts with duration of more than one year at inception. We currently have entered into charter-in contracts having a minimum remaining duration of 0.1 years and maximum remaining duration of 4.4 years.

The following is the current core fleet as of May 18, 2012.

Chartering Arrangements

Navios Logistics continually monitors developments in the shipping industry and makes decisions based on an individual vessel and segment basis, as well as on Navios Logistics’ view of overall market conditions in order to implement its overall business strategy. In the barge business, Navios Logistics typically operates under a mix of time charters and CoAs with durations of one to five years, some of which have minimum guaranteed volumes, and spot contracts. In the cabotage business, Navios Logistics typically operates under time charters with durations in excess of one year at inception. Some of Navios Logistics’ charters provide fixed pricing, labor cost, minimum volume requirements and fuel price adjustment formulas. On other occasions, Navios Logistics engages in CoAs, which allow flexibility in transporting a certain cargo to its destination.

Factors Affecting Navios Logistics’ Results of Operations

Contract Rates

The shipping and logistics industry has been highly volatile during the last several years. In order to have a full utilization of Navios Logistics’ fleet and storage capacity, the Company must be able to renew the contracts on its fleet and ports on the expiration or termination of its current contracts. This ability depends upon economic conditions in the sectors in which the vessels, barges and pushboats operate, changes in the supply and demand for vessels, barges and pushboats and changes in the supply and demand for the transportation and storage of commodities.

Weather Conditions

As Navios Logistics specializes in the transportation and storage of liquid cargoes and dry bulk cargoes along the Hidrovia, any changes adversely affecting the region, such as low water levels, could reduce or limit Navios Logistics’ ability to effectively transport cargo.

Droughts and other adverse weather conditions, including any possible effects of climate change, could result in a decline in production of the agricultural products Navios Logistics transports and stores, and this could likely result in a reduction in demand for services.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Navios Logistics’ operating results, which are reported in U.S. dollars, may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and other currencies. For accounting purposes, Navios Logistics uses U.S. dollars as its functional and reporting currency. Therefore, revenue and expense accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. The balance sheets of the foreign operations are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date except for property and equipment and equity, which are translated at historical rates.

Table of Contents

Navios Logistics’ subsidiaries in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay transact part of their operations in Uruguayan pesos, Argentinean pesos, Brazilian reales and Paraguayan guaranies; however, all of the subsidiaries’ primary cash flows are U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated are recognized in the statement of income.

Inflation and Fuel Price Increases

The impact of inflation and the resulting pressure on prices in the South American countries in which Navios Logistics operates may not be fully neutralized by equivalent adjustments in the rate of exchange between the local currencies and the U.S. dollar. Specifically, for Navios Logistics’ vessels, barges and pushboats business, Navios Logistics negotiated, and will continue to negotiate, fuel price adjustment clauses; however, in some cases, prices that Navios Logistics pays for fuel are temporarily not aligned with the adjustments that Navios Logistics obtains under its freight contracts.

Seasonality

One significant factor that affects Navios Logistics’ results of operations and revenues from quarter to quarter, particularly in the first and last quarters of each year, is seasonality. Generally, the high season for the logistics business is the period between February and July as a result of the South American harvest and higher river levels. Expected growth in soybean and minerals production and transportation may offset part of this seasonality. During the South American late spring and summer, mainly from November to January, the low level of water in the northern Hidrovia could adversely affect Navios Logistics’ operations because the water level is not high enough to accommodate the draft of a heavily laden vessel. Such low levels also adversely impact Navios Logistics’ ability to employ convoys as the water level towards the banks of the river may be too low to permit vessel traffic even if the middle of the river is deep enough to permit passage. With respect to dry port terminal operations in Uruguay, the high season is mainly from April to September, in tandem with the arrival of the first barges down-river and with the oceangoing vessels’ logistics operations. The liquid port terminal operations in Paraguay and Navios Logistics cabotage business are not significantly affected by seasonality as the operations of the port and Navios Logistics’ cabotage business are primarily linked to refined petroleum products.

Statement of Operations Breakdown by Segments

Navios Logistics reports its operations based on three reportable segments: Port Terminal Business, Barge Business and Cabotage Business. The Port Terminal Business includes the dry port terminal operations and the liquid port terminal operations, the Barge Business segment includes Navios Logistics’ river fleet and the Cabotage Business segment includes the product tankers and the two self-propelled barges. The information reported to the chief operating decision maker has been modified in accordance with the change in segments.

Time Charter, Voyage and Port Terminal Revenues: For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, Navios Logistics’ time charter, voyage and port terminal revenue increased by $0.9 million or 2.5% to $37.5 million, as compared to $36.6 million for the same period during 2011. Revenue from the port terminal business increased by $1.8 million or 34.6% to $7.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $5.2 million for the same period during 2011. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in volumes and rates in the dry port terminal and an increase in rates in the liquid port terminal. Revenue from the cabotage business decreased by $0.7 million or 6.2% to $10.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $11.2 million for the same period during 2011. This decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in revenues generated from spot voyages. Revenue from the barge business decreased by $0.2 million or 1.0% to $20.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $20.2 million for the same period during 2011. This decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in revenue from liquid cargo transportation due to the adverse conditions in the Hidrovia in the beginning of the year.

Sales of Products: For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, Navios Logistics’ sales of products increased by $4.8 million or 61.5% to $12.6 million, as compared to $7.8 million for the same period during 2011. The increase was attributable to the increase in the Paraguayan liquid port’s volume and price of products sold.

Time Charter, Voyage and Port Terminal Expenses: For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, time charter, voyage and port terminal expenses increased by $1.6 million or 19.3% to $9.9 million as compared to $8.3 million for the same period during 2011. Port terminal business expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 increased by $0.5 million or 27.8% to $2.3 million, as compared to $1.8 million for the same period during 2011. This is attributable to an increase in the activities at Navios Logistics’ port facility in Uruguay. Time charter and voyage expenses of the barge business for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 increased by $1.3 million or 21.7% to $7.3 million, as compared to $6.0 million for the same period during 2011. This was mainly attributable to the expansion of the barge fleet. This increase was mitigated by a $0.2 million or 40.0% decrease in voyage expenses of the cabotage business amounting to $0.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2011.

Direct vessels expenses of the cabotage business increased by $2.6 million or 47.3% to $8.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2011. The increase resulted primarily from the increase in crew costs and spares. This increase was mitigated by a decrease in direct vessels expenses of the barge business which decreased by $1.1 million or 12.4% to $7.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $8.9 million for the same period in 2011. This decrease was mainly attributable to lower repair and maintenance and other expenses. Direct vessels expenses include crew costs, victual costs, dockage expenses, lubricants, spares, insurance, maintenance and repairs.

Cost of Products Sold: For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, Navios Logistics’ cost of products sold increased by $4.0 million or 52.6% to $11.6 million, as compared to $7.6 million for the same period during 2011.

Depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 amounted to $5.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization in the barge business increased by $0.7 million or 17.1% to $4.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $4.1 million for the same period during 2011. The increase resulted primarily from the additional depreciation generated by acquisitions of new barges, pushboats and other fixed assets. Depreciation and amortization in the cabotage business for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 increased by $0.1 million or 10.0% to $1.1 million, as compared with $1.0 million for the same period during 2011, and depreciation and amortization in the port business decreased by $0.1 million or 10.0%to $0.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $1.0 million for the same period during 2011.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million or 28.6% to $3.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $2.8 million for the same period during 2011. General and administrative expenses relating to the port terminal business increased by $0.1 million or 20.0% to $0.6 million, as compared to $0.5 million for the same period during 2011.

Interest Expense and Finance Cost, Net: Interest expense/income and finance cost, net increased by $3.8 million or 345.5% to $4.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $1.1 million for the same period of 2011. For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, interest expense amounted to $4.6 million, other finance costs amounted to $0.4 million and interest income amounted to $0.1 million. For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, interest expense amounted to $1.1 million and other finance costs amounted to $0.1 million and interest income amounted to $0.1 million.

Other Expense, Net: Other expense, net decreased by $0.8 million to $0.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $1.5 million for the same period of 2011. Other expense, net for the cabotage business decreased by $0.7 million or 58.3% to $0.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2011. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in taxes other than income taxes and other expenses incurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2012. Other expense, net for the barge business decreased by $0.5 million or 55.6% to $0.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to a loss of $0.9 million for the same period in 2011. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in taxes other than income taxes for the three month period ended March 31, 2012. The overall decrease in other expense, net was partially offset by a $0.4 million or 66.7% decrease of other income of the port terminal business business to a $0.2 million income for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $0.6 million income for the same period in 2011. This decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in income from foreign exchange differences.

Income Tax Benefit/Expense: Income taxes decreased by $0.1 million or 10.0% to $0.9 million benefit for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $1.0 million benefit for the same period of 2011. Income taxes in the port terminal business increased by $0.2 million to $0.2 million expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $0 million for the same period in 2011. Income taxes of the barge business increased by $0.3 million or 23.1% to $1.0 million income for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $1.3 million income for the same period in 2011. Income taxes in the cabotage business decreased by $0.4 million or 133.3% to $0.1 million income for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $0.3 million loss for the same period in 2011.

Net Income Attributable to the Noncontrolling Interest: Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest decreased by $0.3 million or 100.0% to $0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $0.3 million for the same period during 2011. This was mainly due to the acquisition of the noncontrolling interests in the cabotage business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Navios Logistics has historically financed its capital requirements with cash flows from operations, equity contributions from stockholders, borrowings under its credit facilities and the issuance of other debt. Main uses of funds have been capital expenditures for the acquisition of new vessels, new construction and upgrades at the port terminals, expenditures incurred in connection with ensuring that the owned vessels comply with international and regulatory standards and repayments of credit facilities. Navios Logistics anticipates that cash on hand, internally generated cash flows and borrowings under existing and future credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its operations, including working capital requirements. See “Working Capital Position”, “Capital Expenditures” and “Long-term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements” for further discussion of Navios Logistics’ working capital position.

Net (loss)/income is also adjusted for changes in operating assets and liabilities in order to determine net cash provided by operating activities.

The positive change in operating assets and liabilities of $6.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 resulted from a $6.4 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $4.5 million increase in accrued expenses, a $0.3 million increase in amounts due to affiliates and a $0.1 million increase in other liabilities. The positive change in operating assets and liabilities for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 was partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in accounts payable, a $1.0 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $0.9 million increase in other assets, a $0.4 million increase in deferred drydock and special survey costs, and a $0.3 million decrease in deferred income.

The negative change in operating assets and liabilities of $6.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 resulted from a $4.0 million increase in accounts receivable, a $0.3 million decrease in accrued expenses, and a $7.9 million decrease in accounts payable. The negative change in operating assets and liabilities for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in restricted cash, a $0.2 million increase in due to affiliates, and a $4.6 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets.

Cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2011:

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $0.8 million to $3.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 from $2.8 million for the same period in 2011.

Cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 was mainly the result of (a) $2.6 million in payments for the construction of a new silo in Nueva Palmira, (b) $0.4 million in payments for the installation of flow meters and other improvements performed in our pushboat fleet (c) $0.2 million in payments for the construction of additional tanks in Navios Logistics’ liquid port and (d) $0.4 million in payments for the purchase of other fixed assets.

EBITDA Reconciliation to Net (Loss)/income Attributable to Navios Logistics’ Stockholders

EBITDA represents net (loss)/income attributable to Navios Logistics’ stockholders before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is used by certain investors to measure a company’s operating 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. While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating performance, the definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Table of Contents

EBITDA decreased by $0.8 million to $8.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $9.5 million for the same period of 2011. This decrease was mainly due to (a) a $4.0 million increase in cost of products sold in the port terminal business, (b) a $1.6 million increase in time charter, voyage and port terminal expenses mainly relating to the barge business, (c) a $1.3 million increase in direct vessels expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs), of which $2.5 million was attributable to the cabotage business mitigated by a $1.2 million decrease in the barge business, and (d) a $0.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses resulting from a $0.6 million increase in the barge business, a $0.1 million increase in the port terminal business and $0.1 million in the cabotage business. This decrease was partially offset by (a) a $4.8 million increase in sales of products attributable to the port terminal business, (b) a $0.9 million increase in time charter, voyage and port terminal revenues resulting from a $1.8 million increase in the port terminal business mitigated by a $0.2 million decrease in the barge business and a $0.7 million decrease in the cabotage business, (c) a $0.9 million decrease in other expense, net, mainly attributable to a $0.6 million decrease in the barge business and a $0.7 million decrease in the cabotage business mitigated by a $0.4 million increase in the port terminal business, and (d) a $0.3 million decrease in noncontrolling interest attributable to the cabotage business.

Long-term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements

Senior Notes:

On April 12, 2011, Navios Logistics and its wholly-owned subsidiary Navios Logistics Finance (US) Inc. (“Logistics Finance” and, together with the Company, the “Co-Issuers”) issued $200.0 million in Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) due on April 15, 2019 at a fixed rate of 9.25%. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of Navios Logistics’ direct and indirect subsidiaries except for Hidronave South American Logistics S.A. and Logistics Finance. The subsidiary guarantees are “full and unconditional”, as those terms are used in Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, except that the indenture provides for an individual subsidiary’s guarantee to be automatically released in certain customary circumstances, such as in connection with a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary, in connection with the sale of a majority of the capital stock of the subsidiary, if the subsidiary is designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary” in accordance with the indenture, upon liquidation or dissolution of the subsidiary or upon legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Senior Notes.

The Co-Issuers have the option to redeem the notes in whole or in part, at their option, at any time (i) before April 15, 2014, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus the applicable make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and (ii) on or after April 15, 2014, at a fixed price of 106.938%, which price declines ratably until it reaches par in 2017. At any time before April 15, 2014, the Co-Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net proceeds of an equity offering at 109.25% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date so long as at least 65% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after such redemption. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the holders of the Senior Notes will have the right to require the Co-Issuers to repurchase some or all of the notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 deferred financing cost associated with the Senior Notes amounted to $6.2 million and 6.4 million respectively. Interest expense associated with the Senior Notes amounted to $4.6 million and $0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Co-Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors filed a registration statement on November 11, 2011 that was declared effective on February 17, 2012. The exchange offer of the privately placed notes with publicly registered notes with identical terms expired on March 23, 2012 and was completed on March 27, 2012, with an aggregate amount of $191,622 in principal amount, or 95.81% of the privately placed notes tendered for exchange. The Senior Notes contain covenants which, among other things, limit

the incurrence of additional indebtedness, issuance of certain preferred stock, the payment of dividends in excess of 6% per annum of the net proceeds received by or contributed to the Company in or from any public offering, redemption or repurchase of capital stock or making restricted payments and investments, creation of certain liens, transfer or sale of assets, entering in transactions with affiliates, merging or consolidating or selling all or substantially all of Navios Logistics’ properties and assets and creation or designation of restricted subsidiaries.

Loan Facilities:

Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co. Ltd Facility

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a $70.0 million loan facility for the purpose of providing Nauticler S.A. with investment capital to be used in connection with one or more investment projects. On March 29, 2011, Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co. Ltd. committed to amend its current loan agreement with Nauticler S.A., to provide for a $40.0 million revolving credit facility. On April 12, 2011, following the completion of the sale of the Senior Notes by the Co-Issuers, Navios Logistics fully repaid the $70.0 million loan facility with Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co. Ltd. using a portion of the proceeds of the Senior Notes. On March 20, 2012, Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co. Ltd and Nauticler S.A finalized the documentation of the $40.0 million revolving credit facility for working and investing capital purposes. The loan bears interest based on a margin of 300 basis points and the obligations will be secured by mortgages on four tanker vessels or alternative security over the assets acceptable to the bank. The commitment requires that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the indenture governing the Senior Notes. The loan is initially repayable 12 months after drawdown with extension options available. As of March 31, 2012, the $40.0 million revolving credit facility was undrawn.

Other Indebtedness

In connection with the acquisition of Hidronave S.A., on October 29, 2009, Navios Logistics assumed a $0.8 million loan facility that was entered into by Hidronave S.A. in 2001 in order to finance the construction of the pushboat Nazira.

As of March 31, 2012, the outstanding loan balance was $0.7 million. The loan facility bears a fixed interest rate of 600 basis points. The loan will be repaid in monthly installments of $5,740 each and the final repayment date must occur prior to August 10, 2021. The loan also requires compliance with certain covenants.

The maturity table below reflects the principal payments for the next five years and thereafter on all credit facilities outstanding as of March 31, 2012, based on the repayment schedule of the respective loan facilities (as described above).

Working Capital Position

On March 31, 2012, Navios Logistics’ current assets totaled $86.6 million, while current liabilities totaled $78.5 million, resulting in a positive working capital position of $8.1 million. Navios Logistics’ cash forecast indicates that Navios Logistics will generate sufficient cash for at least the next 12 months to make the required principal and interest payments on Navios Logistics’ indebtedness, provide for the normal working capital requirements of the business and remain in a positive cash position for at least the next 12 months.

Our Argentine subsidiaries could be prevented from transferring funds outside of Argentina. While projections indicate that existing cash balances and operating cash flows will be sufficient to service the existing indebtedness, we continue to review our cash flows with a view toward increasing working capital.

Capital Expenditures

In June 2010, Navios Logistics entered into long-term bareboat agreements for two product tankers, the Stavroula and the San San H, each with a capacity of 16,871 dwt. The San San H and Stavroula were delivered in June and July 2010, respectively. Both tankers were chartered-in for a two-year period, and Navios Logistics had the obligation to purchase the vessels immediately upon the expiration of their respective charter periods at a purchase price of $15.2 million and $15.3 million, respectively. As of June 2010, Navios Logistics has recognized a capital lease obligation for the San San H and Stavroula amounting to $17.0 million and $17.1 million, respectively. On May 9, 2012, Navios Logistics agreed to extend the repayment period of its capital leases for four years up to June 2016. Following this extension Navios Logistics has the obligation to purchase the vessels immediately upon the expiration of their respective charter periods at a purchase price of $9.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2011, Navios Logistics commenced the construction of a new silo at its dry port facility in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay. For the construction of the new silo Navios Logistics had paid as of March 31, 2012, $9.0 million. The silo has been operational since April 2012. The construction of the new silo with 100,000 metric tons of storage capacity increased the total storage capacity of the dry port to 460,000 metric tons.

In Navios Logistics’ liquid port in Paraguay, 3,000 cubic meters of storage capacity were added in December 2011 reaching a total capacity of 38,560. Navios Logistics is currently constructing two additional storage tanks with combined capacity of 7,100 cubic meters and as of March 31, 2012, Navios Logistics had paid $0.7 million for the construction of all three tanks. The two additional tanks are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2012 and will increase the total storage capacity of the liquid port to 45,660 cubic meters.

Dividend Policy

The payment of dividends is in the discretion of Navios Logistics board of directors. Navios Logistics anticipates retaining most of its future earnings, if any, for use in its operations and the expansion of its business. Any determination as to dividend policy will be made by Navios Logistics’ board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including the requirements of Marshall Islands law, Navios Logistics’ future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and future prospects and such other factors as Navios Logistics’ board of directors may deem relevant. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus, when a company is insolvent or if the payment of the dividend would render the company insolvent.

Navios Logistics ability to pay dividends is also restricted by the terms of its credit facilities and the indenture governing its Senior Notes.

Because Navios Logistics is a holding company with no material assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries, its ability to pay dividends is dependent upon the earnings and cash flow of its subsidiaries and their ability to pay dividends to Navios Logistics. If there is a substantial decline in any of the markets in which Navios Logistics participates, its earnings will be negatively affected, thereby limiting its ability to pay dividends.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts Receivable

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables are limited due to Navios Logistics large number of customers, who are established international operators and have an appropriate credit history. Due to these factors, management believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is inherent in our trade receivables. For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, three customers, Vale, Esso and YPF, accounted for 24.9%, 16.7% and 12.0% of our revenues, respectively. For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, three customers, Petrobras, Petropar and Esso, accounted for 18.1%, 10.2% and 10.0% of our revenues, respectively.

Cash Deposits with Financial Institutions

Cash deposits in excess of amounts covered by government-provided insurance are exposed to loss in the event of non-performance by financial institutions. Navios Logistics does maintain cash deposits in excess of government-provided insurance limits. Navios Logistics also minimizes exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Charter hire payments to third parties for chartered-in barges and pushboats are treated as operating leases for accounting purposes. Navios Logistics is also committed to making rental payments under various operating leases for office and other premises.

As of March 31, 2012, our subsidiaries in South America were contingently liable for various claims and penalties towards the local tax authorities amounting to a total of approximately $2.8 million. According to the Horamar acquisition agreement, if such cases are brought against us, the amounts involved will be reimbursed by the previous shareholders, and, as such, Navios Logistics has recognized a receivable against such liability. The contingencies are expected to be resolved in the next four years. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is immaterial and will not adversely affect Navios Logistics’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

As of March 1, 2012 the Company issued a guarantee and indemnity letter that guaranteed the performance by its subsidiary, Petrolera San Antonio S.A. (“Petrosan”), of all its obligations to Vitol up to $10.0 million. This guarantee expires on March 1, 2013.

Table of Contents

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. When such amounts can be estimated and the contingency is probable, management accrues the corresponding liability. While the ultimate outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the costs of such actions will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cashflows.

Related Party Transactions

Balance due to affiliates as of March 31, 2012 amounted to $2.3 million (December 31, 2011: $2.0 million) which includes the current amounts due to Navios Holdings.

Voyage expenses charged for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 amounted to $0.2 million ($0.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011).

Navios Logistics believes that the transactions discussed above were made on terms no less favorable to the Company than would have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Employment Agreements

Navios Logistics has executed employment agreements with several of its key employees who are its noncontrolling shareholders. These agreements stipulate, among other things, severance and benefit arrangements in the event of termination. In addition, the agreements include confidentiality provisions and covenants not to compete. The employment agreements initially expired in December 31, 2009, but renew automatically for successive one-year periods until either party gives 90 days’ written notice of its intention to terminate the agreement. Generally, the agreements call for a base salary ranging from $0.28 million to $0.34 million per year, annual bonuses and other incentives, provided that certain performance targets are achieved. Under the agreements, Navios Logistics’ accrued compensation totaling $0.2 million for the period ended March 31, 2012 ($0.2 million in the same period of 2011).

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Navios Logistics is exposed to certain risks related to interest rate, foreign currency and time charter hire rate fluctuation. Risk management is carried out under policies approved by executive management.

Interest Rate Risk:

Debt Instruments — On March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Navios Logistics had a total of $200.7 million and $200.7 million, respectively, in long-term indebtedness. The debt is dollar denominated and bears interest at a fixed rate.

The interest on the loan facility of Hidronave S.A. and the Senior notes is at a fixed rate and, therefore, changes in interest rates would not affect their value which as of March 31, 2012 was $0.7 million and $200.0 million, respectively.

For a detailed discussion of Navios Logistics’ debt instruments, refer to section “Long-term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements” included elsewhere in this document.

Foreign currency transactions:

Navios Logistics’ operating results, which are reported in U.S. dollars, may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and other currencies. For accounting purposes, Navios Logistics uses U.S. dollars as its functional and reporting currency. Therefore, revenue and expense accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. The balance sheets of the foreign operations are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date except for property and equipment and equity, which are translated at historical rates.

Navios Logistics’ subsidiaries in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay transact part of their operations in Uruguayan pesos, Argentinean pesos, Brazilian reales and Paraguayan guaraníes; however, all of the subsidiaries’ primary cash flows are U.S. dollar denominated. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 approximately 51.6% and 55.8%, respectively, of our expenses were incurred in currencies other than U.S dollars. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated are recognized in the statement of income. A change in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and each of the foreign currencies listed above of 1.00% would change our net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 by $0.2 million.

Inflation and Fuel Price Increases

The impact of inflation and the resulting pressure on prices in the South American countries in which Navios Logistics operates may not be fully neutralized by equivalent adjustments in the rate of exchange between the local

Table of Contents

currencies and the U.S. dollar. Specifically, for Navios Logistics’ vessels, barges and pushboats business, Navios Logistics negotiated, and will continue to negotiate, fuel price adjustment clauses; however, in some cases, prices that Navios Logistics pays for fuel are temporarily not aligned with the adjustments that Navios Logistics obtains under its freight contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Navios Logistics’ interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Navios Logistics to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management.

The Company’s most critical accounting policies and estimates are those that involve subjective decisions or assessments and are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011. There were no material changes to these critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Disclosures

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 Logistics adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, except for the disclosures related to purchases, sales, issuance and settlements within Level 3, which was effective for Navios Logistics beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on Navios Logistics’ consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill Impairment Guidance

In September 2011, the FASB issued an update to simplify how public entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in the update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount on a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendment was adopted by Navios Logistics in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption of the new amendments did not have a significant impact on Navios Logistics’ consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars—except share data)

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Nature of operations

Navios South American Logistics Inc. “Navios Logistics” is one of the largest logistics companies in the Hidrovia region of South America, focusing on the Hidrovia region river system, the main navigable river system in the region, and on cabotage trades along the eastern coast of South America. Navios Logistics serves the storage and marine transportation needs of its customers through its port terminal, river barge and coastal cabotage operations. Navios Logistics is focused on providing its customers integrated transportation, storage and related services through its port facilities, its large, versatile fleet of dry and liquid cargo barges and its product tankers. Navios Logistics serves the needs of a number of growing South American industries, including mineral and grain commodity providers as well as users of refined petroleum products.

Formation of Navios Logistics

Navios Logistics was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on December 17, 2007. On January 1, 2008, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement, Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) (NYSE: NM) contributed: (a) $112,200 in cash and (b) all of the authorized capital stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Corporacion Navios Sociedad Anonima (“CNSA”), to Navios Logistics in exchange for 12,765 shares of Navios Logistics representing 63.8% (67.2% excluding contingent consideration) of Navios Logistics’ outstanding stock. As part of the same transaction, Navios Logistics acquired 100% ownership of Horamar Group (“Horamar”) in exchange for: (i) $112,200 in cash, of which $5,000 was escrowed and payable upon the attainment of certain EBITDA targets during specified periods through December 2008; and (ii) the issuance of 7,235 shares of Navios Logistics representing 36.2% (32.8% excluding contingent consideration) of Navios Logistics’ outstanding stock, of which 1,007 shares were escrowed upon the attainment of certain EBITDA targets. During the year ended December 31, 2008, $2,500 in cash and 503 shares were released from escrow, when Horamar achieved the interim EBITDA target. On March 20, August 19, and December 30, 2009, the Share Purchase Agreement was amended to postpone until June 17, 2010 the date for determining whether the EBITDA target was achieved. On June 17, 2010, $2,500 in cash and the 504 shares remaining in escrow were released from escrow upon the achievement of the EBITDA target threshold. As of March 31, 2012, Navios Holdings owned 63.8% of Navios Logistics.

The 7,235 shares issued to effect the acquisition of Horamar were valued at fair value as this was a transaction involving unrelated, independent parties, while the 12,765 shares issued to Navios Holdings in exchange for its 100% equity interest in CNSA were accounted for at carryover basis.

On July 25, 2011, the Company acquired the noncontrolling interests of its joint ventures Thalassa Energy S.A., HS Tankers Inc., HS Navigation Inc., HS Shipping Ltd .Inc. and HS South Inc., in accordance with the terms of certain stock purchase agreements with HS Energy Ltd., an affiliate of Vitol S.A. (“Vitol”). The Company paid a total consideration of $8,500 for such noncotrolling interests ($8,638 including transactions expenses; see also Note 9), and simultaneously paid $53,155 in full and final settlement of all amounts of indebtedness of such joint ventures. The transaction was considered a step acquisition (with control maintained by Navios Logistics) and was accounted for as an equity transaction.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(a) Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments for a fair statement of Navios Logistics’ consolidated financial positions, statement changes in equity, statements of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Adjustments consist of normal, recurring entries. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and,

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars—except share data)

 

accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The December 31, 2011 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Logistics’ 2011 annual report filed on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

(b) Principles of Consolidation:

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navios Logistics and its subsidiaries, both majority and wholly-owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions between these entities have been eliminated in the consolidated statements.

The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities as defined in the accounting guidance, if it determines that it is the primary beneficiary. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

Subsidiaries Included in the Consolidation:

Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.

Subsidiaries included in the consolidation:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars—except share data)

 

Certain assets of the Company have been pledged as collateral for loan facilities. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the net book value of such assets was $1,180 and $1,203, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2010, Navios Logistics began the construction of a grain drying and conditioning facility at its dry port facility in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay. The facility, which has been operational since May 16, 2011, has been financed entirely with funds provided by Navios Logistics’ dry port operations. For the construction of the facility, Navios Logistics paid $848 during the year ended December 31, 2011.

In June 2010, Navios Logistics entered into long-term bareboat agreements for two new product tankers, the Stavroula and the San San H, each with a capacity of 16,871 dwt. The San San H and the Stavroula were delivered in June and July 2010, respectively. Both tankers are chartered-in for a two-year period, and Navios Logistics has the obligation to purchase the vessels immediately upon the expiration of their respective charter periods. The purchase price of the vessels (including direct costs) amounted to approximately $19,643 and $17,904, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, the obligations for these vessels were accounted for as capital leases and the lease payments during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 for both vessels were $530.

During 2011, Navios Logistics used a portion of the proceeds from the Senior Notes to pay $10,819 for the acquisition of two pushboats named William Hank and Lonny Fugate and another $6,360 for the acquisition of a pushboat named WW Dyer. Additionally, Navios Logistics used a portion of such proceeds to pay $19,836 for the acquisition of 66 dry barges, $17,635 relating to transportation and other related costs associated with the acquired pushboats and barges, and $4,304 for the acquisition of a floating drydock facility.

Additionally, during 2011, Navios Logistics performed some improvements relating to its vessels, the Malva H, the Estefania H and the San San H (formerly known as the Jiujiang), amounting to $44, $611 and $1,070, respectively.

In September 2011, Navios Logistics paid a total of $389 for the acquisition of a piece of land. This piece of land is located at the south of the Nueva Palmira Free Zone and was acquired as part of a project to develop a new transshipment facility for mineral ores and liquid bulks.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Navios Logistics had paid $8,998 and $6,363 for the construction of a new silo at its dry port facility in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay. The silo has been operational since April 2012.

In Navios Logistics’ liquid port in Paraguay, 3,000 cubic meters of storage capacity were added in December 2011 reaching a total capacity of 38,560 and Navios Logistics is currently constructing two additional storage tanks with combined capacity of 7,100 cubic meters and as of March 31, 2012, Navios Logistics had paid $705 ($597 of which paid in 2011) . These tanks are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2012 and will increase the total storage capacity of the liquid port to 45,660 cubic meters.

Senior Notes

On April 12, 2011, Navios Logistics and its wholly-owned subsidiary Navios Logistics Finance (US) Inc. (“Logistics Finance” and, together with the Company, the “Co-Issuers”) issued $200,000 in Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) due on April 15, 2019 at a fixed rate of 9.25%. The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of Navios Logistics’ direct and indirect subsidiaries except for Hidronave South American Logistics S.A. and Logistics Finance. The subsidiary guarantees are “full and unconditional”, as those terms are used in Regulation S-X Rule 3-10, except that the indenture provides for an individual subsidiary’s guarantee to be automatically released in certain customary circumstances, such as in connection with a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary, in connection with the sale of a majority of the capital stock of the subsidiary, if the subsidiary is designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary” in accordance with the indenture, upon liquidation or dissolution of the subsidiary or upon legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Senior Notes.

The Co-Issuers have the option to redeem the notes in whole or in part, at their option, at any time (i) before April 15, 2014, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus the applicable make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and (ii) on or after April 15, 2014, at a fixed price of 106.938%, which price declines ratably until it reaches par in 2017. At any time before April 15, 2014, the Co-Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net proceeds of an equity offering at 109.25% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date so long as at least 65% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after such redemption. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the holders of the Senior Notes will have the right to require the Co-Issuers to repurchase some or all of the notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 deferred financing cost associated with the Senior Notes amounted to $6,238 and 6,399 respectively. Interest expense associated with the Senior Notes amounted to $4,625 and $0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Co-Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors filed a registration statement on November 11, 2011 that was declared effective on February 17, 2012. The exchange offer of the privately placed notes with publicly registered notes with identical terms expired on March 23, 2012 and was completed on March 27, 2012, with an aggregate amount of $191,622 in principal amount, or 95.81% of the privately placed notes tendered for exchange. The Senior Notes contain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, issuance of certain preferred stock, the payment of dividends in excess of 6% per annum of the net proceeds received by or contributed to the Company in or from any public offering, redemption or repurchase of capital stock or making restricted payments and investments, creation of certain liens, transfer or sale of assets, entering in transactions with affiliates, merging or consolidating or selling all or substantially all of Navios Logistics’ properties and assets and creation or designation of restricted subsidiaries.

Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co. Ltd Facility

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a $70,000 loan facility for the purpose of providing Nauticler S.A. with investment capital to be used in connection with one or more investment projects. On March 29, 2011, Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co.Ltd committed to amend its current loan agreement with Nauticler S.A., to provide for a $40,000 revolving credit facility. On April 12, 2011, following the completion of the sale of the Senior Notes by the Co-Issuers, Navios Logistics fully repaid the $70,000 loan facility with Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co.Ltd. using a portion of the proceeds of the Senior Notes. On March 20, 2012, Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co. Ltd. and Nauticler S.A finalized the documentation of the $40,000 revolving credit facility for working and investing capital purposes. The loan bears interest based on a margin of 300 basis points and the obligations will be secured by mortgages on four tanker vessels or alternative security over the assets acceptable to the bank. The commitment requires that we are in compliance with the covenants contained in the indenture governing the Senior Notes. The loan is initially repayable 12 months after drawdown with extension options available. As of March 31, 2012, the $40,000 revolving credit facility was undrawn.

Other Indebtedness

In connection with the acquisition of Hidronave S.A. in October 29, 2009, the Company assumed a $817 loan facility that was entered into by Hidronave S.A. prior to the repayment date in 2001, in order to finance the construction of the pushboat Nazira. As of March 31, 2012, the outstanding loan balance was $649 ($668 in 2011). The loan facility bears interest at a fixed rate of 600 basis points. The loan is repayable in monthly installments of $6 each and the final repayment must occur prior to August 10, 2021. The loan also requires compliance with certain covenants.

In connection with the loans, the Company is subject to certain covenants and commitments and certain of its assets are restricted as collateral. The Company was in compliance with all the covenants for the three month period ended March 31, 2012.

The maturity table below reflects future capital payments of the long-term debt outstanding as of March 31, 2012, for the next five years and thereafter.

NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In connection with the acquisition of Horamar, the Company recorded liabilities for certain pre-acquisition contingencies amounting to $6,632 ($2,907 relating to VAT-related matters, $1,703 for withholding tax-related matters, $1,511 relating to provisions for claims and others and $511 for income tax-related matters) that were included in the allocation of the purchase price based on their respective fair values. As it relates to these contingencies, the prior owners of Horamar agreed to indemnify the Company in the event that any of the above contingencies materialize before agreed-upon dates, extending to various dates through January 2020. As of March 31, 2012, the remaining liability related to these pre-acquisition contingencies amounted to $2,849 ($2,764 as of December 31, 2011) and was entirely offset by an indemnification asset for the same amount, which was reflected in other non-current assets.

As of March 1, 2012, the Company issued a guarantee and indemnity letter that guaranteed the performance by Petrolera San Antonio S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary, of all its obligations to Vitol S.A. up to $10,000. This guarantee expires on March 1, 2013.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. When such amounts can be estimated and the contingency is probable, management accrues the corresponding liability. While the ultimate outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the costs of such actions will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The total annual lease payments for the lease agreement with Mercoparana S.A are $270 and the lease agreements expire in June 2012. The lease agreement with Mercotrans S.A. was terminated on July 20, 2011.

Lodging: Compania Naviera Horamar S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Logistics, obtains lodging services from Empresa Hotelera Argentina S.A./(NH Lancaster) an Argentinean corporation owned by members of the Lopez family, including Claudio Pablo Lopez, Navios Logistics’ Chief Executive Officer and Carlos Augusto Lopez, Navios Logistics’ Chief Commercial Officer—Shipping Division, each of whom has no controlling interest in those companies. The total expense payments for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 were $13 ($9 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011).

Voyage expenses: Navegacion Guarani S.A, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Logistics, obtains bunkers from Dieselcom Transportadora e Revendora de Dieselcombustivel S.A a Brazilian corporation, which is controlled by family members of the noncontrolling shareholder of Hidronave South American Logistics S.A , Michel Chaim. Voyage expenses charged for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 amounted to $157 ($77 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011).

The Company believes that the transactions discussed above were made on terms no less favorable to the Company than would have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Employment Agreements

The Company has executed employment agreements with several of its key employees who are noncontrolling shareholders of the Company. These agreements stipulate, among other things, severance and benefit arrangements in the event of termination. In addition, the agreements include confidentiality provisions and covenants not to compete.

The employment agreements initially expired in December 31, 2009, but renew automatically for successive one-year periods until either party gives 90 days written notice of its intention to terminate the agreement. Generally, the agreements call for a base salary ranging from $280 to $340 per year, annual bonuses and other incentives provided certain performance targets are achieved. Under the agreements, the Company accrued compensation totaling $244 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012 ($244 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011).

NOTE 9: SHARE CAPITAL

Common shares and shareholders

On August 4, 2010, the Company has amended its articles of incorporation increasing its authorized share capital to 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has issued 20,000 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value.

Holders of each share of common stock have one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Dividends on shares of common stock may be declared and paid from funds available to the Company.

On July 25, 2011, Navios Logistics acquired the noncontrolling interests of its joint ventures Thalassa Energy S.A., HS Tankers Inc., HS Navigation Inc., HS Shipping Ltd .Inc. and HS South Inc., in accordance with the terms of certain stock purchase agreements with HS Energy Ltd., an affiliate of Vitol. The Company paid a total consideration of $8,500 for such noncontrolling interests ($8,638 including transactions expenses), and simultaneously paid $53,155 in full and final settlement of all amounts of indebtedness of such joint ventures under certain loan agreements. Since the Company already consolidated these joint ventures, the transaction was considered a step acquisition (with control maintained by Navios Logistics) and was accounted for as an equity transaction. An amount of $10,850, which is equal to the difference between the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests as of July 25, 2011 ($19,488) and the fair value of the total consideration paid including transaction expenses ($8,638) was recorded in Additional Paid in Capital. As a result, after the consummation of the transaction, the percentage of ownership of the Company in its subsidiaries is the following:

NOTE 10: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Current accounting guidance establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. Operating segments are components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Chief operating decision makers use net income attributable to common stockholders to evaluate operating performance of each segment. The statement also establishes standards for related disclosures about a company’s products and services, geographical areas and major customers. The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting. A general description of each segment follows:

The Port Terminal Business segment:

This segment includes the operating results of Navios Logistics’ dry port terminal and liquid port terminal operations.

(i) Dry port terminal operations

Navios Logistics owns and operates the largest independent bulk transfer and storage port terminal in Uruguay based on throughputs. Its dry port terminal is located in an international tax-free trade zone in the port of Nueva Palmira, Uruguay, at the convergence of the Parana and Uruguay rivers. The terminal operates 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and is ideally located to provide its customers, primarily leading international grain and commodity houses, with a convenient and efficient outlet for the transfer and storage of a wide range of commodities originating in the Hidrovia region.

(ii) Liquid port terminal operations

Navios Logistics owns and operates an up-river port terminal with tank storage for refined petroleum products, oil and gas in San Antonio, Paraguay, approximately 17 miles by river from the capital of Asuncion. Its port terminal is one of the largest independent storage facilities for crude and petroleum products in Paraguay based on storage capacity. The port facility serves international operators from Paraguay and Bolivia supplying products that support the growing demand for energy. Because Paraguay is not an oil producing country, its needs for both crude and refined petroleum products are served entirely by imports. The main sources of supply are from Argentina and, to a much lesser extent, Bolivia. The strategic location of the terminal at the center of the Paraguay-Parana waterway has comparative advantages for the provision of services to both southern and northern regions.

The Barge Business segment

Navios Logistics services the Argentine, Bolivian, Brazilian, Paraguayan and Uruguayan river transportation markets through its fleet. Navios Logistics operates different types of pushboats and wet and dry barges for delivering a wide range of dry and liquid products between ports in the Parana, Paraguay and Uruguay River systems in South America (the Hidrovia or the “waterway”). Navios Logistics contracts its vessels either on a time charter basis or on a Contract of Affreightment (“CoA”) basis.

The Cabotage Business segment

Navios Logistics owns and operates oceangoing vessels to support the transportation needs of its customers in the South American coastal trade business. The Company believes it operates the largest in terms of capacity and one of the youngest Argentine cabotage fleets. Its fleet consists of six oceangoing product tanker vessels and two self propelled barges. Navios Logistics contracts its vessels either on a time charter basis or on a CoA basis.

For the Barge Business segment and for the Cabotage Business segment, the Company’s vessels operate on a regional basis and are not restricted to specific locations. Accordingly, it is not possible to allocate the assets of these operations to specific locations. The total net book value of long-lived assets for vessels amounted to $278,500 and $282,973 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

All of the assets related to the Port Terminal Business segment are located in Uruguay and in Paraguay. The total net book value of long-lived assets for the Port Terminal Business segment, including constructions in progress, amounted to $65,285 and $62,870 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

In addition, the net book value of intangible assets other than goodwill allocated to the Barge Business segment and to the Cabotage Business segment, collectively, amounted to $34,458 and $35,336 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, while the net book value of intangible assets allocated to the Port Terminal segment amounted to $28,296 and $28,527 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 350-20-35-45, goodwill resulting from the acquisitions of Horamar and Hidronave S.A., which had been allocated to the Logistics Business through December 31, 2010, was re-allocated to the three segments by allocating $22,142 to the Port Terminal Business, $40,868 to the Barge Business and $41,086 to the Cabotage Business. All three segments previously comprised a part of the Logistics Business reporting unit on a relative fair value basis.

NOTE 11: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

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

Accounts receivable: Carrying amounts are considered to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts receivables and because there were no significant changes in interest rates. All amounts that are assumed to be uncollectible are written off and/or reserved.
