1. Nature of Business and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Arvana Inc. (“our”, “we”, “us” and the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Turinco, Inc. on September 16, 1977. On July 24, 2006, the shareholders approved a name change from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc. The reporting currency and functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“US Dollar”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US Dollars.
On March 17, 2016, the Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with CaiE Food Partnership Ltd. (“CaiE”) for the purpose of acquiring CaiE as a wholly-owned subsidiary. CaiE is in the business of manufacturing and distributing fresh Dim Sum food products from a facility based in Sparks, Nevada. In the event that the Company does not complete the acquisition of CaiE, its intention will be to identify and evaluate alternative business opportunities that are a good match for the Company.
These condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized a net loss of $98,903 as a result of general and administrative expenses, professional fees, interest expenses offset by a gain from foreign exchange. At September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,424,868. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
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 CaiE Food Partnership Ltd. (“CaiE”) as an ongoing business opportunity. The Company has minimal operating expenses. Our fiscal year end is December 31. The Company’s accompanying condensed interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for financial information including the instructions provided in Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The condensed interim financial statements and notes that appear in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes thereto, as discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Our most recent Annual Report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2019. Results are not necessarily indicative of those which may be achieved in future periods.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
b)
Estimates
The preparation of 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. These estimates include the recognition of deferred tax assets based on the change in unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences.
c)
Financial instruments
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such values:
Cash - the carrying amount approximates fair value because the amounts consist of cash held at a bank.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible loan, loans payable and amounts due to related parties - the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligations.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:
September 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | |||||||||||||||
Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | |||||||||||||
Cash | $ | 6,764 | $ | 6,764 | $ | 815 | $ | 815 | ||||||||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 1,036,211 | 1,036,211 | 1,012,714 | 1,012,714 | ||||||||||||
Convertible loan | 106,091 | 106,091 | 62,741 | 62,741 | ||||||||||||
Loans payable to stockholders | 572,996 | 572,996 | 583,593 | 583,593 | ||||||||||||
Loans payable to related party | 129,841 | 129,841 | 129,231 | 129,231 | ||||||||||||
Loans payable | 84,361 | 84,361 | 47,330 | 47,330 | ||||||||||||
Amounts due to related parties | 502,132 | 502,132 | 491,171 | 491,171 |
The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:

d) Recent accounting pronouncements
New and amended standards adopted by the Company
The following new and amended standards were adopted by the Company for the first time in this reporting period.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The standard requires lessors to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A sales-type lease occurs if the lessor transfers all the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor does not convey risks and rewards or control, which results in an operating lease. The standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2017-11, requiring certain changes to the presentation and disclosures of changes to liability or equity classification of financial instruments. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2018-07, requiring certain changes to nonemployee share-based payment accounting. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company
Several new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after the closing date of this report and have not been applied in preparing these condensed interim financial statements:
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, requiring certain changes to the recognition and measurement as well as disclosure of incurred and expected credit losses. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company (continued)
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2018-13 which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The amendments in this ASU are the result of a broader disclosure project known as FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting – Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

8. Convertible Loans
On May 18, 2016, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (“Convertible Note”) pursuant to which the Company received $50,000 from CaiE due on November 17, 2017. The $50,000 Convertible Note is convertible into common stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time before maturity at the option of the holder at a fixed price of $0.20 per share. Due to the conversion price being lower than the closing share price on the issuance date, a beneficial conversion feature was recognized as a discount against the convertible note. The Convertible Note accrues interest at a rate equal to 10% per year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, $nil and $nil of the discount was amortized as interest expense, respectively.

Overview
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977, as “Turinco, Inc.” to engage in any legal undertaking. On July 24, 2006, our name was changed from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc. to reflect the acquisition of Arvana Networks, Inc., a telecommunications business. We discontinued efforts related to our telecommunications business as of December 31, 2009. We have since been in the process of identifying other business opportunities.
Our office is located at 299 S. Main Street, 13th Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, and our telephone number is (801) 232-7395. Our registered agent is JAD Communications LLC., 5209 West Gowan Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89130.
The Company currently is traded on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s Pink Sheets Current Information over the counter market platform under the symbol “AVNI.”
Company
On March 17, 2016, the Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with CaiE Food Partnership Ltd. (“CaiE”) for the purpose of acquiring CaiE as a wholly owned subsidiary. CaiE is in the business of manufacturing and distributing fresh Dim Sum food products from a facility based in Sparks Nevada. The MOU anticipates that the Company will issue, subject to shareholder approval, a fully diluted sixty-seven percent (67%) interest in its common stock in exchange for CaiE. The MOU further provides that CaiE lend the Company fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) on a convertible basis prior to the consummation of the transaction. Due to the delay encountered in drafting definitive documentation, we do expect that the terms of the MOU will be revised to reflect the operating results of CaiE as of the date the parties are ready to move forward. The anticipated transaction will require the Company to convert a majority of its existing debt into shares of common stock, increase the number of authorized common shares, elect a new Board of Directors and change its name to reflect the new business. CaiE has loaned the Company $144,510 as of the filing date of this report.
In the event that the Company does not complete the acquisition of CaiE, its intention will be to identify and evaluate alternative business opportunities that might be a good match for the Company. We will not be able to develop any identified business opportunities without additional financing. Our Board of Directors has relied on loans from CaiE since 2016 to maintain operations and will continue to do so through the remainder of 2019.

Plan of Operation
The Company’s plan of operation over the next twelve months is to acquire CaiE as a wholly owned subsidiary on those terms to be provided within definitive agreements and thereafter to focus on CaiE’s business model.
We will require a minimum of $50,000 over the next 12 months to maintain operations and acquire CaiE. On completing the acquisition of CaiE, the Company will need additional capital to grow its business. The amount of funding that will be required for this purpose is not determinable at this time.
Should the Company not complete the anticipated transaction with CaiE then it will seek to identify an alternative business opportunity for which purpose it will require a minimum of $25,000 in funding over the next 12 months. The Company will most likely need additional funding to complete any alternative transaction that might be identified within this time frame for this purpose.
We anticipate that the required prospective funding in the near term will be in the form of convertible debt financing and loans provided by CaiE.
Should the Company not complete the anticipated transaction with CaiE, then funding to maintain operations may come from the sale of our common shares or unsecured shareholder loans. The Company has not arranged any alternative financing to that provided by CaiE and cannot be certain that it will be able to realize funding from the sale of equity or additional shareholder loans. Until the Company is able to generate sufficient net cash flow, there will remain substantial doubt as to whether it can maintain operations.
Results of Operations
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company satisfied periodic public disclosure requirements and continued to finance its operations with convertible loans from CaiE.
Our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are summarized below.

Net Losses/Net Income
Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $3,234 as compared to net income of $84,798 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The transition from net income to net loss over the comparable three-month periods ended September 30, 2019, and September 30, 2018, can be primarily attributed to the gain recognized on the sale of subsidiaries in the earlier three-month period, that entirely offset general and administrative expenses, professional fees, interest expense and foreign exchange losses. Net losses in the current three-month period can be attributed to general and administrative expenses, professional fees, and interest expense partially offset by a foreign exchange gain. The loss or gain on foreign exchange is due to an increase or decrease in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar, the volatility of which can negatively or positively impact the cost of those expenses payable in foreign currencies.
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $98,903, as compared to net income of $94,367 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The transition from net income to net loss over the comparable nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, and September 30, 2018, can be primarily attributed to the gain recognized on the sale of subsidiaries and the foreign exchange gain in the earlier nine-month period that entirely offset general and administrative expenses, professional fees, and interest expenses. Net losses in the current nine-month period can be attributed to general and administrative expenses, and professional fees, offset by a foreign exchange gain.
The Company did not generate any revenue over the comparable three and nine month periods and expects to continue to incur losses until such time as it is able to realize net gains on a consistent basis in future periods.
Capital Expenditures
The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ deficiency.
The Company had assets of $6,764 as of September 30, 2019, consisting of cash and a working capital deficit of $2,424,868, as compared to assets of $815, consisting of cash and a working capital deficit of $2,325,965 as of December 31, 2018. Net stockholders' deficit in the Company was $2,424,868 at September 30, 2019, as compared to a net stockholder’s deficit in the Company of $2,325,965 at December 31, 2018.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash flow used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, was $30,861 as compared to $14,429 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. Changes in net cash used in operating activities in the current nine-month period can be attributed primarily to a number of items that are book expense items which do not affect the total amount relative to actual cash used such as unrealized foreign exchange, interest expense, amortization of discount on convertible loans and gain on sale of subsidiaries. Balance sheet accounts that actually affect cash, but are not income statement related items that are added or deducted to arrive at net cash used in operating activities, include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, in addition to amounts due to related parties.
15 |
We expect to continue to use net cash flow in operating activities over the next twelve months or until such time as the Company can generate sufficient revenue to offset operating expenses.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash flow used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, was $nil as compared to $44 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. Changes in net cash used in investing activities in the earlier nine-month period can be attributed to the sale of subsidiaries.
We expect to use net cash flow in investing activities in future periods.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flow provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was $36,810 as compared to $10,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The cash flows provided from financing activities in both comparative nine-month periods can be attributed to loans from CaiE.
We expect to use net cash flow provided by financing activities in future periods to maintain operations and acquire CaiE.
Our current assets are insufficient to conduct its plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months, as the Company will need at least $50,000 to maintain operations and acquire CaiE.
Since 2016, the Company has secured a series of loans from CaiE as follows:
Lender | Year | Amount | Interest Rate | Type | Conversion | Due | ||||||||||||||||||
CaiE | 2019 to September 30 | $ | 36,710 | n/a | Loan | n/a | n/a | |||||||||||||||||
CaiE | 2018 | $ | 30,000 | 10 | % | Convertible Loan | $ | 0.20 | 3/31/2020 | |||||||||||||||
CaiE | 2017 | $ | 27,800 | 10 | % | Convertible Loan | $ | 0.20 | 3/31/2020 | |||||||||||||||
CaiE | 2016 | $ | 50,000 | 10 | % | Convertible Loan | $ | 0.20 | 3/31/2020 |
The Company has no commitments or arrangements for the funding necessary to complete the acquisition of CaiE. The Company’s shareholders or CaiE are the most likely sources of funding, though none have made any commitment for future investment.
The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of September 30, 2019.
The Company had no commitments for future capital expenditures that were material at September 30, 2019.
The Company has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.
The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
The Company has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2019, we have no significant 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.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on debt or equity sales of our shares of common stock in order to fund our business operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to sell our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
In Note 2 to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in our Form 10-K, the Company discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of financial statements requires Company management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Going Concern
Management of the Company has expressed an opinion as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of an accumulated deficit of $23,706,083 since inception and negative cash flows from operating activities as of September 30, 2019. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the ability of the Company to obtain funding from outside sources. Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes obtaining funding from the private placement of equity or through debt financing from CaiE or shareholders. Management believes that it will be able to obtain funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, though there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
