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 change of the Company’s name 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 might be a good match for the Company.

These condensed interim 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a net loss of $41,849 as a result of a foreign exchange gain offset by general administrative expenses, professional fees and interest expenses. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,158,458 as of June 30, 2020. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020. COVID-19 is a contagious disease that continues to spread adversely affecting workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, which affects will likely result in an economic downturn. The Company cannot predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results connected to COVID-19, nor can it predict the effect, if any, COVID-19 will have on the Company’s business or its ability to raise funds.

The Company will require continued financial support from shareholders and creditors until it is able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. There is substantial doubt that the Company will be able to accomplish this objective.

Failure to obtain the ongoing support of shareholders and creditors may indicate that the preparation of these financial statements on a going concern basis is 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 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 a business opportunity and has minimal operating expenses. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying condensed interim financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 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. The condensed interim financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 1, 2020. Results are not necessarily indicative of those which may be achieved in future periods.

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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

c) Financial instruments (continued)

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020, 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:

The fair value of cash is determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.

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 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. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 to clarify certain aspects of the new current expected credit losses impairment model in ASU 2016-13. ASU 2018-19 points out that operating lease receivables are within the scope of ASC 842 rather than ASC 326. The standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. 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 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 standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The amendments in this ASU are the result of a broader disclosure project called FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. 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.

8. Convertible Loans

On May 18, 2016, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to CaiE that accrues 10% per annum, in exchange for $50,000, that was initially due on November 17, 2017. The note is convertible into the Company’s common stock, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity at the option of the holder at $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 debt. The maturity date of the note was extended by amendment, to March 31, 2021, while all other terms of the note remain unchanged. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, no discount was amortized as interest expense. Interest expense recognized on this loan was $1,250 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1,250 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense recognized on this loan was $2,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. As at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the balance of the note was $50,000.

On October 12, 2018, the Company issued a convertible note to CaiE that accrues 10% per annum, in exchange for a series of loans that totaled $57,800 that was initially due on October 11, 2019. The note is convertible into the Company’s common stock, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity at the option of the holder at $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 debt. The maturity date of the note was extended by amendment, to March 31, 2021, while all other terms of the note remain unchanged. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, $nil and $14,450 of the discount was amortized as interest expense and during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, $nil and $28,900 of the discount was amortized as interest expense. Interest expense recognized on this loan was $1,445 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense recognized on this loan was $2,890 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2019. As at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance of the note was $57,800.

9. Subsequent Events

On August 17, 2020, the Company obtained an additional loan from CaiE in the amount of $5,000, which amount is yet to be documented in a written agreement. We expect that the terms and conditions attached to his loan will be identical to those determined in the aforesaid convertible loan agreements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Our fiscal year end is December 31. All information presented herein is based on the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

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, the Company’s 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 seeking 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 AA Registered Agents, 4869 Nightwood Court, Las Vegas, Nevada 89149.

The Company 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, we 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 we will issue shares of our common stock to acquire CaiE through merger or acquisition, convert existing debt to equity, increase authorized common shares, elect a new board of directors and change our name to reflect the new business. Since the MOU was signed over four years ago, the terms of the MOU are expected change when and if the parties move forward with the transaction. The lack of progress on moving forward is primarily due to delays in securing an audited compilation of CaiE’s financial statements. The delays have caused CaiE to make additional loans to the Company to ensure that it remains in compliance with reporting obligations while CaiE compiles its financial statements. CaiE has loaned us $174,610 as of the filing date of this report, which sum is comprised of convertible promissory notes and other outstanding loan amounts.

In the event that we do not complete the acquisition of CaiE, our intention is to identify and evaluate alternative business opportunities that might be a good match for us. Towards this end, we have entered into a consulting agreement with one of our stockholders who has expertise in strategic business alliances, business combinations, mergers and acquisitions to procure an alternative to the CaiE transaction in the event that we do not reach a definitive agreement to move forward. 

We will not be able to develop any alternative business opportunities without additional financing. Management continues to accept loans from CaiE as needed to maintain operations although the likelihood of concluding a transaction based on the MOU remains uncertain.

Plan of Operation

Our plan of operation over the next twelve months is to merge with or acquire CaiE as a wholly-owned subsidiary, on those terms to be included in a definitive agreement, and thereafter to focus on expanding CaiE’s business. We will require a minimum of $50,000 in funding over the next 12 months to maintain operations and complete a definitive transaction with CaiE. We anticipate that near term will be in the form of debt financing provided by CaiE. On completing a definitive transaction with CaiE, we will need additional capital to grow CaiE’s business. The amount of funding that may be required for this purpose is not determinable at this time.

Should the Company not complete the anticipated transaction with CaiE, 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 to maintain operations through that process. Should an alternative business opportunity be identified, we will need additional funding to complete any definitive transaction. We anticipate that funding in this instance will be in the form of unsecured debt or equity financing from stockholders and third parties. Despite our confidence that funding will be available for an alternative business opportunity, we have no such alternative financing arranged. Therefore, we will require continued financial support from our stockholders and creditors until we are able to generate sufficient cash flow to maintain operations.

Results of Operations

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company satisfied periodic public disclosure requirements and continued to sustain operations through the proceeds of debt financing from CaiE.

Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, are summarized in the following table.

Net Losses 

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was $64,305 as compared to net loss of $56,799 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net loss over the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, can be attributed to an increase in general administrative expenses, professional fees and an increase in foreign exchange loss, offset by a decrease in interest expense over the comparable three month period. The increase in professional fees and general administrative expenses can be attributed to costs incurred in the preparation of the documentation required to eliminate and settle debt, while the decrease in interest expense is due to the adoption of new accounting standards that no. longer. require us to book accretion interest on convertible loans, and the gain on foreign exchange due to a decrease in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar, which decrease impacts the cost of expenses payable in foreign currencies.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $41,849 as compared to net loss of $95,669 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net loss over the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, can be attributed to a decrease in interest expenses and a gain on foreign exchange, offset by an increase in general administrative expenses and professional fees. The decrease in interest expense is due to the adoption of new accounting standards that do not require us to book accretion interest on convertible loans, and the gain on foreign exchange due to a decrease in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar, which decrease impacts the cost of expenses payable in foreign currencies while the increase in professional fees and general administrative expenses can be attributed to costs incurred in the preparation of the documentation required to eliminate and settle debt.

We did not generate revenue during this period and expect to continue to incur losses over the next twelve months until such time as we are able to develop a business opportunity that produces net income.

Capital Expenditures

The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ deficiency.

The Company had assets of $804 as of June 30, 2020, consisting of cash and a working capital deficit of $2,158,458, as compared to assets of $2,346, consisting of cash and a working capital deficit of $2,213,713 as of December 31, 2019. Net stockholders' deficit in the Company was $2,158,458 at June 30, 2020, as compared to a net stockholder’s deficit of $2,213,713 at December 31, 2019. 

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was $26,542 as compared to net cash flow used of $11,298 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Changes in net cash used in operating activities in the current six-month period can be attributed to a number of book expense items that do not affect the total amount relative to actual cash used, such as unrealized foreign exchange and interest expense. Balance sheet accounts that actually affect cash, but are not income statement related that are added or deducted to arrive at net cash used in operating activities, include accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties.

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 the cost of operating activities.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2019, was $nil.

We do not expect to use net cash in investing activities until we are able to conclude a definitive agreement on a viable business opportunity.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flow provided by financing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2020, was $25,000 as compared to $11,100 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019. Cash flows provided from financing activities over the comparative six-month periods are considered loans from CaiE.

We expect to continue to use net cash provided by financing activities to maintain operations.

The Company’s current assets are insufficient to conduct its plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months as it will need at least $50,000 to maintain operations and conclude a transaction with CaiE. Since entering into an MOU with CaiE, the Company has secured a series of loans from CaiE in the aggregate amount of $174,610. Despite CaiE’s determination to assist us. until such time as we close a merger or acquisition transaction, we have no definitive commitments or arrangements for continued financial support in order for us to move forward. Despite our predicament, existing stockholders and/or CaiE remain the most likely sources of funding. The Company’s inability to secure a commitment for funding has a material adverse effect on its ability to sustain operations.

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 June 30, 2020.

The Company had no commitments for future capital expenditures that were material at June 30, 2020.

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 June 30, 2020, 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 will continue to rely on debt or equity financing to maintain operations though we cannot provide any assurance that sufficient financing will be forthcoming.

Critical Accounting Policies

In Note 2 to the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 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 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, we evaluate estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable. The result of our estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Going Concern

Management has expressed an opinion as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern despite an accumulated deficit of $23,536,777 since inception and negative cash flows from operating activities as of June 30, 2020. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern requires that it procure 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 debt financing, converting existing debt into equity, and otherwise settling outstanding amounts due through agreement with its creditors or elimination through statutory aging of debts. Management believes that it will remain a going concern through the methods discussed above pending closure with a business opportunity that will produce income, though there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

The likelihood that the Company can continue as a going concern has encountered additional urgency in response to the COVID-19 virus pandemic that continues to adversely affect workforces, economies, and financial markets around the world that will likely result in an economic downturn. The Company cannot predict the duration or magnitude of the virus, nor can it predict the which adverse effects, if any, will impact the Company’s plan of operation or its ability to sustain its business.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the acting chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2020.
