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 Company’s 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 financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary Arvana Networks (including its wholly-owned subsidiaries Arvana Par and Arvana Comunicações do Brasil S. A. (“Arvana Com”). 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 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 three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $10,901. At March 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,552,183. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 is in the process of evaluating business opportunities and has entered a new development stage as of January 1, 2010 and presents its financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, and for the cumulative amounts from the beginning of the development stage on January 1, 2010, through March 31, 2010, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) 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 Company’s consolidated audited financial statements and related notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 12, 2010 (file no. 000-30695).

b) Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,
amending ASC 820. ASU 2010-06 requires entities to provide new disclosures and
clarify existing disclosures relating to fair value measurements. The new
disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for
interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except
for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in Level
3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-06, but does not expect
its adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic
605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements amending ASC 605. ASU 2009-13
requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling
prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy.
ASU 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of revenue allocation and requires
revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 is
effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2009-13, but does not expect its
adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.

Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our capital needs, business plans and expectations. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties regarding our planned business, availability of funds, government regulations, common share prices, operating costs, capital costs, our ability to deploy our planned business and generate revenues and other factors. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined below, and, from time to time, in other reports we file with the SEC. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are currently in the process of evaluating business opportunities and have entered a new development stage as of January 1, 2010. 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.
Our Plan of Operations
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 March 31, 2010 we have obtained loans totaling $12,500 to provide operating capital. We estimate that this provides sufficient cash to operate through June 30, 2010.
In order to maintain operations while we evaluate new businesses we anticipate that we will need additional funding of approximately $200,000 during 2010. We had cash in the amount of $13,055 and a working capital deficit of $1,552,183 as at March 31, 2010. 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.
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.
13
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 Company’s 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.
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.
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 March 31, 2010.
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 have recorded an expense of $1,424,000 in stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the options.

Presentation of Financial Information
Our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 include the accounts of:
- Arvana Networks;
- Arvana Par; and
- Arvana Com.
Results of Operations
Our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are summarized below.
Three months ended March 31, 2010 |
Three months ended March 31, 2009 |
|
Operating Expenses: | ||
General and Administration | $35,348 | $28,002 |
Depreciation | $75 | $75 |
Foreign exchange gain | ($24,522) | ($31,318) |
Comprehensive (Gain) Loss for the Period | $10,901 | ($3,241) |
Administration Expenses
Administrative expenses are comprised of costs associated with management compensation, office overhead including rent, legal fees, and consulting services. The increase in our administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to March 31, 2009 is due to period to period fluctuations in general and administrative expenses.
Net Loss for the Period
We incurred a net loss of $10,901 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared with a net gain of $3,241 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our net losses fluctuate significantly due to unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses incurred due to the level of our liabilities payable in foreign currencies. Future quarterly expenses 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 March 31, 2010, we had cash of $13,055 and a working capital deficit of $1,552,183. This compares to cash of $534 and working capital deficit of $1,541,357 as at December 31, 2009.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
We used cash in operations in the amount of $2,243 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $32 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2010 was attributable primarily to payments for administration expenses.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
We did not use cash in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The Company obtained cash in the amount of $14,764 from unsecured loans bearing 6% interest per annum during the three months ended March 31, 2010. In the three months ended March 31, 2009 the Company did not obtain cash from financing activities.
15
Going Concern
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $10,901. At March 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,552,183. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s 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, 2009 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 March 31, 2010 (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 March 31, 2010 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 Company’s 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.
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.
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.
17
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 March 31, 2010 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 the 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.
