FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 6: 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 and money market funds 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.

Borrowings: The book value has been adjusted to reflect the net presentation of deferred financing costs. The outstanding balance of the floating rate loans continues to approximate its fair value, excluding the effect of any deferred finance costs. The 2022 Notes, the 2022 Logistics Senior Notes, the 2022 Senior Secured Notes, two Navios Logistics’ loans and the Navios Containers’ seller’s credit are fixed rate borrowings and their fair value was determined based on quoted market prices.

Loan receivable from affiliate companies: The carrying amount of the floating rate loan approximates its fair value.

Investments in available-for-sale securities: The carrying amount of the investments in available-for-sale securities reported in the consolidated balance sheets represents unrealized gains and losses on these securities, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income.

Long-term payable to affiliate companies: The carrying amount of long-term payable to affiliate companies approximates their fair value.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

The estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy, are as follows:

Level I: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

Level II: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level III: Inputs that are unobservable.
