1. Nature of Business and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977, as “Turinco, Inc.”, and on July 24, 2006, changed its name to Arvana Inc. to reflect the acquisition of a telecommunications business. We discontinued efforts related to our telecommunications business as of December 31, 2009. The Company is presently focused on evaluating business opportunities for merger or acquisition sufficient to support operations and increase stockholder value.

We entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding on March 17, 2016, with the intent of acquiring a fresh food manufacturer and distributor. On November 11, 2020, we notified the acquisition target that the Company was no longer interested in pursuing the acquisition of its business given the delays attendant to the prospective transaction.

On May 21, 2021, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet with the intention of acquiring a multi-media platform and prospectively other businesses. The term sheet required that the owner of the acquisition target first secure voting control of the Company as pre-condition to his facilitating a transaction. The owner effectively secured voting control on June 30, 2021. On October 26, 2021, the Company entered into a recission agreement and mutual release with the owner of the intended acquisition due to being unable to agree on the structure of the prospective transaction.

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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a net loss and realized a working capital deficiency, which deficiency raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to require financial support from stockholders and creditors until able to generate its own cash flow from operations.

Failure to obtain the ongoing support of stockholders 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. The Company’s 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 business opportunities and has minimal operating expenses. Our fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying condensed interim financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on April 9, 2021. 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 September 30, 2021, 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 accrued 10% per annum, in exchange for $50,000, initially due on November 17, 2017. The note was 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. Since the conversion price was 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 remained unchanged. The Company and CaiE agreed to a debt settlement agreement to extinguish these loans and accrued interest by the issuance of common shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, no discount was amortized as interest expense. Interest expense recognized on this loan was $nil 0 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

On October 12, 2018, the Company issued a convertible note to CaiE that accrued 10% per annum, in exchange for a series of loans that totaled $57,800 initially due on October 11, 2019. The note was 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. Since the conversion price was 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 remained unchanged. The Company and CaiE agreed to a debt settlement agreement to extinguish these loans and accrued interest by the issuance of common shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, $nil 0 and $14,450 of the discount was amortized as interest expense and during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, $nil 0 and $43,350 of the discount was amortized as interest expense.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

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 changed its name from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc. on acquisition of Arvana Networks, Inc., a telecommunications business. We discontinued efforts related to that business as of December 31, 2009. Our present activities are focused on evaluating business opportunities that are sufficient to support operations and increase stockholder value.

Our office is located at 299 S. Main Street, 13th Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, and our telephone number is (801) 232-7395. AA Registered Agents, 4869 Nightwood Court, Las Vegas, Nevada 89149, is our registered agent in the State of Nevada.

The Company is registered with the Commission and traded on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s Pink Sheets Current Information over the counter market platform under the symbol “AVNI.”

Company

The Company entered into a non-binding term sheet on May 21, 2021, with Mr. Alkiviades David and our controlling stockholder with the intention of acquiring a multi-media platform and prospectively other businesses owned or controlled by Mr. David. The term sheet required that our controlling stockholder grant voting control over the Company to Mr. David as a pre-condition to his facilitating a transaction. On June 30, 2021, Mr. David effectively secured voting control over the Company. Due to a disgreement over the structure of the intended transaction, the Company entered into a recission agreement and mutual release with Mr. David on October 26, 2021. The agreement to abandon the intentions of the term sheet included Mr. David’s revocation of the proxies granted to him, which action returned control of the Company to our controlling stockholder, and led to the resignation of two of our directors.

On March 17, 2016, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with CaiE Food Partnership Ltd. (“CaiE”) for the purpose of acquiring it 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. While CaiE loaned the Company $174,610 over nearly five years to sustain operations, it was unable to deliver the information necessary to complete the transaction. On November 11, 2020, CaiE was notified that the Company would no longer pursue the acquisition of its business. Effective April 1, 2021, the Company entered into a debt settlement agreement pursuant to which all amounts due to CaiE were extinguished in exchange for shares of the Company’s restricted common stock.

Plan of Operation

Our present activities are focused on evaluating business opportunities that are sufficient to support operations and increase stockholder value. While this process remains in the discovery phase, the Company will continue to look to its stockholders and creditors for sufficient financial support to sustain operations though we have no assurance that our stockholders or creditors will respond positively to the Company’s efforts.

Results of Operations

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company satisfied periodic public disclosure requirements, continued its search for a suitable business enterprise that might enhance stockholder value and executed a non-binding term sheet with Mr. David.

Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, are summarized in the following table.

Net Losses

Net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, was $12,507,367 as compared to a net loss of $67,591 for the three-month prior period ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net loss over the comparative three-month periods can be attributed to loss on debt settlements, and professional fees, offset by a decrease in general administrative expenses, the elimination of interest expense and a foreign exchange gain over the prior comparable three-month period. The loss on debt settlements is due to the settlement values for stock issued that were less than the market value of the stock on the settlement dates, while the increase in professional fees is the result of amounts accrued in the preparation of coincident settlement documentation and in the conduct of requisite due diligence in relation to a prospective acquisition. The elimination of interest expense is the result of the debt settlements, and the transition from foreign exchange loss to foreign exchange gain is due to a decrease in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar that impacts the cost of expenses paid in foreign currencies.

Net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, was $12,089,518 as compared to net loss of $109,440 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. The increase in net loss over the comparative nine-month periods can be attributed to loss on debt settlements, professional fees, and interest expense, offset by other income, a decrease in general administrative expenses, and a foreign exchange gain over the comparable prior nine-month period. The loss on debt settlements is due to the settlement values for stock issued that were less than the market value of the stock on the settlement dates, the increase in professional fees is the result of amounts accrued in the preparation of coincident settlement documentation and in the conduct of requisite due diligence in relation to a prospective acquisition, while the interest expense reflects the expense of debt obligations prior to settlement. Other income is the result of debt forgiveness agreements, and the transition from foreign exchange loss to foreign exchange gain is due to a decrease in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar that impacts the cost of expenses paid in foreign currencies.

The Company did not generate revenue during either of these periods and expects to continue to incur losses over the next twelve months until such time as it is able to secure a business that generates income.

Capital Expenditures

The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

The Company had assets of $19 in cash as of September 30, 2021, with a working capital deficit of $74,655, as compared to assets of $4,994 in cash as of December 31, 2020, with a working capital deficit of $2,051,060. Stockholders' deficit in the Company was $74,655 at September 30, 2021, as compared to a stockholder’s deficit of $2,051,060 at December 31, 2020.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Cash flow used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 was $21,100 as compared to cash flow used of $31,435 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. Changes in cash used in operating activities in the current nine-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, other income, loss on debt settlements and interest expense. Balance sheet accounts that actually affect cash, but are not income statement related that are added or deducted to arrive at cash used in operating activities, include accounts payable and amounts due to related parties.

We expect to continue to use 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

Cash used in investing activities over the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, was $nil.

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

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flow provided by financing activities for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021, was $16,325 as compared to $30,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2020. Cash flows provided from financing activities over the comparative nine-month periods are considered loans from CaiE.

We expect to continue to use 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 definitive transaction. Until such time, we have no definitive commitments or arrangements for continued financial support. Despite the Company’s predicament, existing stockholders remain the most likely prospective sources of funding. The Company’s inability to secure funding would have 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 has no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements.

The Company has no commitments for future material capital expenditures.

The Company has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.

The Company has no plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.

The Company has no plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2021, 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, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Future Financings

The Company will continue to rely on debt or equity financing to maintain operations and secure a suitable business transaction though it cannot provide any assurance that sufficient financing will be forthcoming.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 2 to the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the respective periods, discusses accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining results of operations and the currency of its financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (GAAP).

The preparation of financial statements requires Company management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their very. nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable. The results of each evaluation form the basis upon which management makes judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates recorded here under different assumptions or conditions.

Going Concern

Management has expressed an opinion as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern given an accumulated deficit of $36,062,042 and negative cash flows from operating activities as of September 30, 2021. Our ability to continue as a going concern requires that we 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 to equity, and otherwise settling outstanding amounts due in agreement with its creditors. Management believes that it will remain a going concern through the methods discussed above pending closure with an income generating business opportunity though there can be no assurances that continuation as a going concern will prove successful.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

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 September 30, 2021. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including its chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period ended September 30, 2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
