Notes to Condensed Interim Financial Statements

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.
On March 17, 2016, the Company signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding intent on acquiring a fresh food manufacturer and distributor. On November 11, 2020, we notified the intended target that the Company was no longer interested in pursuing the acquisition of its business due to the delays attendant to the prospective transaction.
On May 21, 2021, the Company signed a non-binding term sheet intent on acquiring a multi-media platform. The term sheet required that the owner of the acquisition target first secure voting control of the Company as a pre-condition to his facilitating a transaction. The owner effectively secured voting control on June 30, 2021. On October 26, 2021, the Company signed a recission agreement and mutual release with the owner of the intended acquisition, as the parties were 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized net loss of $8,830 as a result of general administrative expenses, professional fees and interest expenses. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $110,415 as of March 31, 2022. 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 has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets around the world. The Company can neither predict the duration or the magnitude of adverse results connected to COVID-19, nor can it predict the effect, if any, COVID-19 will have on its search to identify a business opportunity or its ability to attract sufficient capital to sustain operations.
The Company’s present intention is to identify, evaluate and secure a business opportunity to create value for its stockholders. During this search the Company will require continued financial support from stockholders and creditors until it is able to generate net cash flow from operations. While the Company is confident that a business opportunity will be identified, the insufficiency of its financial resources casts substantial doubt on whether it will be able to fulfill this objective.
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. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying condensed interim financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, 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, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on April 21, 2022. 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 March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, are as follows:
March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||||||||||
Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | |||||||||||||
Cash | $ | 3,118 | $ | 3,118 | $ | 3,340 | $ | 3,340 | ||||||||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 60,695 | 60,695 | 54,931 | 54,931 | ||||||||||||
Loans
payable to stockholders | 15,500 | 15,500 | 15,500 | 15,500 | ||||||||||||
Loans payable to related party | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | ||||||||||||
Amounts due to related parties | 37,038 | 37,038 | 34,194 | 34,194 |

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2022, 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:
March 31, 2022 | Quoted
Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | ||||||||||||||
Assets: | |||||||||||||||||
Cash | $ | 3,118 | $ | 3,118 | $ | — | $ | — |
The fair value of cash is determined through market, observable, and corroborated sources.

Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, are summarized in the following table.

Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $8,830 as compared to net loss of $2,259 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of 291%. While general and administrative expenses, professional fees and interest expenses decreased in the current three-month period, the resultant net increase in loss can be attributed to the lack of any foreign exchange gain in the period that offset operating expenses in the prior comparable three-month period. The gain on foreign exchange in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, is due to a decrease in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar, which development positively impacts the cost of expenses payable in foreign currencies.
We did not generate revenue during this period and expect to continue to incur losses over the next twelve months.
Capital Expenditures
The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ deficiency.
The Company had assets of $3,118 in cash as of March 31, 2022, and a working capital deficit of $110,415, as compared to assets of $3,340 in cash as of December 31, 2021, and a working capital deficit of $101,585. Net stockholders' deficit was $110,415 as of March 31, 2022, as compared to a net stockholder’s deficit of $101,585 as of December 31, 2021.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash flow used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, was $222 as compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $4,087 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. Net cash used in operating activities in the prior 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 loss and interest expense. Balance sheet accounts that 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, 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 three-month periods ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, was $nil.
We do not expect to use net cash in investing activities until such time as the Company closes on a transaction with a viable business opportunity.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, was $nil.
We expect to continue to use net cash provided by financing activities to support operations and close a suitable business acquisition.
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 sustain operations while seeking a suitable business opportunity. While the Company will look to its stockholders and creditors to provide debt or equity financing, it has no definitive commitments or arrangements for financial support. The Company’s inability to secure funding will 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 had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of March 31, 2022.
The Company had no commitments for future capital expenditures as of March 31, 2022.
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 March 31, 2022, 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
In Note 2 to the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, 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 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 has expressed an opinion as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern despite an accumulated deficit of $36,097,802 since inception and negative cash flows from operating activities as of March 31, 2022. 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. The Company can neither predict the duration or magnitude of the virus, nor can it predict which adverse effects, if any, will impact the plan of operation or its ability to sustain its business.
