1. Nature of Business and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Arvana Inc., (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Turinco, Inc. on September 16, 1977, with authorized common stock of 2,500 shares with a par value of $0.25. On October 16, 1998, the authorized capital stock was increased to 100,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001. On July 24, 2006, the shareholders approved a change of the Companys name from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc.
In 1998, the Company completed a common stock split of eight shares for each outstanding share. In 2005, the Company completed another common stock split of nine shares for each outstanding share. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared showing after stock split shares with a par value of $0.001.
These consolidated interim financial statements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Arvana Networks (including its wholly-owned subsidiaries Arvana Par and Arvana Comunicações do Brasil S. A. (Arvana Com) and BCH Beheer. The Company has ceased all operations in its subsidiary companies, and has written-off or disposed of all assets in the subsidiary companies, consequently they are now all considered to be inactive subsidiaries.
These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $542,206. At September 30, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,295,315. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Accordingly, the Company will require continued financial support from its shareholders and creditors until it is able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations on a sustained basis. There is substantial doubt that the Company will be successful at achieving these results. Failure to obtain the ongoing support of its shareholders and creditors may make the going concern basis of accounting inappropriate, in which case the Companys assets and liabilities would need to be recognized at their liquidation values. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might arise from this uncertainty.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of presentation
The Company began to generate revenues as a result of the acquisition of Hallotel during the final four months of 2006. In 2007 the Company commenced its planned principal operations and determined its target market segments and market strategies. The Company then disposed of Hallotel in December 2007 and ceased all operations in its subsidiary companies. The Company is again in the process of evaluating business opportunities and is in the development stage and presents its financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. The Companys fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and for the cumulative amounts from the beginning of the development stage on January 1, 2005, through September 30, 2008, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Although they are unaudited, in the opinion of management, they include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation. Results are not necessarily indicative of results which may be achieved in the future. The consolidated interim financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated audited financial statements and related notes thereto, together with Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies cont
Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on April 15, 2008 (file no. 000-30695).
b) Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This framework is intended to provide increased consistency in how fair value determinations are made under various existing accounting standards which permit, or in some cases require, estimates of fair market value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year.
FASB Staff Position 157-2 (FSP FAS 157-2) delayed the effective date of FAS 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company adopted FAS 157 on January 1, 2008, and utilized the one year deferral for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that was granted by FSP FAS 157-2. The adoption of FAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys operating results, financial position, and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of FAS 161 and has not yet adopted the statement. However, as the provisions of FAS 161 are only related to disclosure of derivative and hedging activities, the Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 161 will have a material impact on its consolidated operating results, financial position, or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets or FSP FAS 142-3. FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of the position is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is assessing the potential impact that the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 may have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies cont
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or
SFAS No. 162. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement shall be effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commissions approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not believe that implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 states that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management has determined that the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will not have an impact on the Financial Statements.

Overview
Until the end of 2007 our business operations were focused on the telecommunications industry. In December 2007 we decided to exit the telecommunications industry and disposed of our German subsidiary Hallotel. We are currently in the process of evaluating other industries and business opportunities in order to determine the focus of our future business opportunities. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in identifying suitable business opportunities, or if we are able to identify suitable business opportunities, that we will be able to find an adequate source of financing to acquire any business or business assets, and commence operations, or that those operations, if commenced, will be successful in generating profits.
Hallotel is a German based telecommunications service provider that is focused on the provision of long distance telephone calls between Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Turkey. Hallotel was acquired by us on August 23, 2006 and disposed of on December 7, 2007. Prior to the acquisition of Hallotel we were engaged in the telecommunications industry through our subsidiary Arvana Networks. Arvana Networks was planning to provide voice over the internet (VoIP) telephone technology services, primarily in Brazil, and was in the startup phase of its operations since March, 2005. With the acquisition of the Hallotel operation in 2006 and the limitation of funds, the plans to develop Arvana Networks as a provider of Internet services were put on hold in 2006 and abandoned in 2007.
Our Plan of Operations
We exited the telecommunications industry at the end of 2007 and our present plan of operations for the next twelve months is to identify and evaluate industries and business opportunities in order to find a suitable business to enter into.
We will not be able to pursue any new business opportunities without additional financing. Our board of directors and management are actively pursuing obtaining financing in order to maintain operations while we evaluate potential businesses. Since December 31, 2007 we have obtained loans totaling $230,461 to provide operating capital.
In order to maintain operations while we evaluate new businesses we anticipate that we will need additional funding of approximately $50,000 during 2008. We had cash in the amount of $925 and a working capital deficit of $1,295,315 as at September 30, 2008. If we are successful in identifying a new business opportunity we will require funding in order to pursue that opportunity. The amount of funding required will depend on the opportunity and is not determinable at this time.
During the next twelve month period, we anticipate that our revenues will not exceed our operating expenses. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations. Other than small advances from shareholders, we believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of our business development as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations. In addition, in order to obtain equity financing it may be necessary for us to consider a capital restructuring, which may or may not include a common stock reverse split. The board is currently considering all avenues available to obtain financing.
Accordingly, we will require continued financial support from our shareholders and creditors until we are able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations on a sustained basis. There is substantial doubt that we will be successful at achieving these results.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that management believes are both most important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results of operations and that require difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that involve uncertainty.
We believe that the critical accounting policies that we use in the preparation of our financial statements are as follows:
a) Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
b) Foreign currency translation and transactions
Our functional currency is the United States dollar.
The Company uses the temporal method when translating the Brazilian subsidiary operations. Long-term assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods. The cumulative effects of these translation adjustments were included in administration expenses as they were insignificant.
The Company used the current rate method when translating its former German subsidiary operations Hallotel. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods. The cumulative effects of these translation adjustments are presented as a component of comprehensive income.
Transactions conducted in foreign currencies are recorded using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the functional currency of each entity using the exchange rate in effect at the period end date. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in foreign exchange gain or loss in administration expenses as they were insignificant.
c) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell. We have reviewed our long-lived assets and have determined that no impairment charges were necessary for the period ended September 30, 2008.
d) Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under SFAS No.123R, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date. We granted stock options in June 2006 and will record an expense of $1,424,000 in stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. The Company recorded an expense of $364,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and $596,400 in 2007 and $232,400 in 2006 for the pro-rated portion of the full charge.

Results of Operations
Our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are summarized below. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 include our former telecommunications industry business. We are no longer in the telecommunications industry and future results are not expected to be comparable to those of 2007 periods.

Revenues
All of our past revenues are attributable to the services provided by our former subsidiary, Hallotel, up to the disposal date of December 7, 2007. We did not generate any revenues during the period prior to our acquisition of Hallotel or during the period after our disposal of Hallotel and did not generate any revenues outside of our former Hallotel business. We presently do not earn revenues and will not earn revenues until we enter into another business, and there can be no assurance that we will earn revenues at that time.
Cost of Sales
All of our costs of sales are attributable to costs of sales incurred by our former Hallotel business in connection with providing its services. We currently do not incur costs of sales.
Gross Profits
All of our gross profits were attributable to our former Hallotel business. We currently do not generate gross profits.
Sales and Promotion Expenses
Sales and promotion expenses consisted primarily of commissions paid to third parties in connection with our former Hallotel business. We currently do not incur sales and promotion expenses.
Administration Expenses
Administrative expenses are comprised of costs associated with management compensation, office overhead including rent, legal fees, and consulting services. The decrease in our administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to September 30, 2007 is due to the disposal of Hallotel which generated a majority of our previous general and administrative expenses.
Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses)
Foreign exchange gains and losses are associated with exchange rate changes affecting the Companys payables and loans that are based in Euros.
Stock-based Compensation
In June 2006, we awarded 1,600,000 stock options to a number of directors, management and consultants. The stock options have an exercise price of $1.25 per share which was the current market value of the shares at the time. As a result of this program, we will record an expense of $1,424,000 in stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. The Company recorded an expense of $33,200 for the three months and $364,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and $66,400 for the three months and $596,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 for the pro-rated portion of the full charge. The final period that will record an expense associated with these options will be the first quarter of 2009.
Loss on the write-off of equipment
There were no write-offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded a loss on the write-off of equipment in the amount of $10,059 which was attributable to software that was no longer usable for our operations.
Net Loss for the Period
We incurred a net loss of $3,034 for the three months and $542,206 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared with a net loss of $57,695 for the three months and $748,694 in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.The results of operations are not considered to be comparable due to the significant difference in the operations of the Company during the two years. Future quarterly net losses are expected to be comparable to the current quarter until such time as a new business is entered into, net losses if any due to any new business cannot be estimated at this time.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at September 30, 2008, we had cash of $925 and a working capital deficit of $1,295,315. This compares to cash of $2,913 and working capital deficit of $1,117,333 as at December 31, 2007. We will not be able to pursue any new business opportunities without additional
financing. Our board of directors and management are actively pursuing obtaining financing in order to maintain operations while we evaluate potential businesses. Since December 31, 2007 we have obtained loans totaling $230,461 to provide operating capital. In order to maintain operations while we evaluate new businesses we anticipate that we will need additional funding of approximately $50,000 during 2008.
During the next twelve month period, we anticipate that our revenues will not exceed our operating expenses. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations. Other than small advances from shareholders, we believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of our business development as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations. In addition, in order to obtain equity financing it may be necessary for us to consider a capital restructuring, which may or may not include a common stock reverse split. The board is currently considering all avenues available to obtain financing.
Accordingly, we will require continued financial support from our shareholders and creditors until we are able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations on a sustained basis. There is substantial doubt that we will be successful at achieving these results.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
We used cash in operations in the amount of $193,324 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $283,703 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Cash used in operations for the two periods is not considered to be comparable due to the significant difference in the operations of the Company during the two periods. Cash used in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was attributable primarily to payments for administration expenses.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
We did not use cash in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007 cash of $72,184 was used by our former subsidiary Hallotel in the acquisition of equipment.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The Company gained $224,649 from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company received $224,649 from unsecured loans bearing 6% interest per annum. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007 the Company obtained $251,769 from unsecured loans bearing 6% interest per annum and received advances from related parties of $113,121 resulting in net cash gained from financing activities of $364,890.
Going Concern
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $542,206. At September 30, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,295,315. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operations. Our auditors stated in their report on our December 31, 2007 audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our shares of common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our plan of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2008 (the Evaluation Date). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.
Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of the Evaluation Date, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the Evaluation Date.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of Evaluation Date and identified the following material weaknesses:
Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
Insufficient Number of Directors to form a Functioning Audit Committee: We only have two directors on our Board of Directors and while they are both outside directors this is not considered sufficient to have a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
As of the Evaluation Date, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the effectiveness of controls and procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our controls and procedures will prevent all potential errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
