Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Arvana Inc. (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 March 31, 2009. The Company acquired Down 2 Fish Charters, LLC on February 3, 2023. Down2Fish was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on April 1, 2019.

Down2Fish Charters LLC operates a Florida based fishing charter business that offers a range of curated maritime adventures that include inshore, offshore, and custom charters for fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers and tourists. The business is operated from a private dock in Palmetto, Florida that services the Tampa Bay area in addition to St Petersburg, Sarasota, Venice, Port Charlotte, and Clearwater. Down2Fish generates its revenue from the sale and provision of fishing charter services.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, 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 consolidated interim financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated 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, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on April 17, 2023. Results are not necessarily indicative of those which may be achieved in future periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation consolidated 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 consolidated 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.

Stock split

On February 21, 2023, stockholders approved a forward-split of the Company’s common shares on a 3-1 basis. The forward-split was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State effective March 31, 2023, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rolled the stock forward on April 19, 2023. All changes in the capital structure have been given retroactive effect in these financial statements.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

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.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable to stockholders, and amounts due to related parties - the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively, the Company did not have any cash in excess of the insured FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank account.

Income taxes

A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 “Stock Compensation,” which requires that the value of the award is established at the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period of the grant. The method of determining the fair value of share-based payments depends on the type of award. Share-based awards that vest over a certain service period with no market conditions are valued at the closing market price on the grant date. Options grants are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model using inputs that are determined on the date of the grant. Once the per-share fair value on the date of grant is established, the aggregate expense of the grant is recognized as earned over the vesting period of the grant. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees if fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date, is measured and recognized at that date.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants. The Company had 7,950,000 outstanding stock options as at March 31, 2023, and none 0 at March 31, 2022, which have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effects would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted by the Company

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 is intended to provide financial statement uses with more decision-useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, effective January 1, 2023, which adoption has not had a material effect on its financial statements.

Note 2 – Going Concern

For the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized a net loss of $928,400 and had an accumulated deficit of $37,168,768. The Company had a working capital deficit of $55,343 as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s has negative cash flows from operations, has recognized a net loss over the current three-month period, has incurred significant losses since inception, and has an accumulated deficit. While the Company commenced revenue generating activities in the first quarter of 2023, it will require funding from outside sources to implement its business development strategy. The Company has no firm commitments for additional funding. The aggregation of these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these consolidated financial statements are made available. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Failure to obtain the ongoing support of stockholders and creditors may indicate that the preparation of these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis is inappropriate, in which case our assets and liabilities would need to be recognized at their liquidation values. The Company’s consolidated 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.

Note 3 – Acquisition

On February 3, 2023 (Closing Date), the company acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Down2Fish Charters, LLC (D2F), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Florida, which operates a charter fishing business. On the Closing Date, the Company paid $50,000 in cash and issued a note for $700,000 for a total consideration of $750,000. The Company’s consolidated statements of operations from the Closing Date through March 31, 2023, include D2F revenues and net loss of $8,000 and $27,114, respectively.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the Closing Date under the acquisition method of accounting. The estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities including long-lived assets require judgment and assumptions. Adjustments may be made to these estimates during the measurement period and those adjustments could be material.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their fair values as of the Closing Date, with the excess of cost over fair value of $771,009. For the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $771,009 on the excess amount. Assets acquired are as follows:

The Company did not incur any acquisition related costs during the period.

Property and equipment acquired consisted primarily of offshore support vessels. The Company recorded property and equipment acquired at an estimated fair value of $178,706. The fair values of the offshore support vessels were estimated by applying a replacement cost approach. These assets will be tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The Company estimates the remaining useful lives for the vessels acquired are seven years, based on an original estimated useful life of 10 years.

The charter fishing license acquired is a perpetual federal fishing license, which grants the Company access to fish in federally regulated waters off the coast of Florida. This asset is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually.

The lessee’s right to lease the marine equipment is limited to those times which do not conflict with Company use. There is no option to purchase the watercraft as part of the agreement and the Company expects to recoup full value when the watercraft are sold.

The Company manages risk by requiring the lessee to indemnify the Company in the event of loss to property or persons.

The amount of lease income recognized in other income for the period ending March 31, 2023, is $8,000.

Cash flows from lease payments are expected to be received as follows:

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 months ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022.

Arvana

Arvana was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977, as “Turinco, Inc.” to engage in any legal undertaking. On July 24, 2006, Arvana changed its name from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc. on the acquisition of Arvana Networks, Inc., a telecommunications business. We discontinued efforts related to that business as of December 31, 2009. Arvana acquired Down 2 Fish Charters, LLC on February 3, 2023. Down2Fish was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on April 1, 2019.

Down2Fish operates a Florida based fishing charter business that offers a range of curated maritime adventures that include inshore, offshore, and custom charters for fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers and tourists. The business is operated from a private dock in Palmetto, Florida that services the Tampa Bay area in addition to St Petersburg, Sarasota, Venice, Port Charlotte, and Clearwater. Down2Fish generates its revenue from the sale and provision of fishing charter services.

Arvana acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Down2Fish on February 3, 2023, from LCF Salons, LLC, in exchange for fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and a promissory note in the amount of seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000) payable twenty-four (24) months after the closing date that bears interest of seven and one quarter percent (7¼ %) per annum in accordance with the Business Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2022. Interest on the promissory note is payable on an annual basis.

Stockholders approved a forward stock split of Arvana’s common shares on a 3-for-1 basis that was effected on April 19, 2023, to stockholders of record on March 31, 2023. All changes in the capital structure have been given retroactive effect in these financial statements.

Arvana’s office is located at 299 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.

Arvana is traded on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.’s Pink Sheets Current Information market platform under the symbol “AVNI.”

While Arvana is focused on building on the Down2Fish business model it will continue to seek, evaluate, and determine other business opportunities in the energy and real estate development sectors.

Plan of Operation

Our plan of operation is to support the further development of our business, and to build on Down2Fish’s existing business model. We believe that an expansion of marketing efforts around Tampa Bay, to offer a wider range of services, such as dolphin tours, will establish the Down2Fish brand, attract more customers increase revenues. Expansion into new service offerings will however require capital sufficient to finance the purchase of another vessel and additional boating equipment. We believe that dolphin tours can return net revenue on a consistent basis if we are able to attract sufficient customers to each excursion. We are currently licensed and equipped to carry no more than six customers on each fishing charter. A vessel designed primarily for dolphin tours can carry from fifty to one hundred customers. Our primary impediment for equipment procurement and installation is cost. We are presently considering financing options that might become available to us in the near term but have no assurance that financing options will become available or that if such did become available, that the financing terms would be tenable for our business. Unless or until we can offer excursions that cater to a greater number of customers on each excursion, we will continue to focus on offering more fishing charter excursions to build revenue and improve our results of operations.

Results of Operations

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, Arvana acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Down2Fish, approved a forward-split of its common stock and commenced operations as a fishing charter business.

Our results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the three-months ended March 31, 2022, were as follows below:

   Three Months Ended March 31   
   2023  2022  Change
Operating expenses   (148,903)   (8,636)   (140,267)
Loss from Operations   (148,903)   (8,636)   (140,267)
Lease income   8,000         8,000 
Depreciation   (5,850)   —     (5,850)
Interest income   4    —     4 
Interest expense   (10,642)   (194)   (10,448)
Loss on asset purchase   (771,009)   —     (771,009)
Total Other Income (Expense)   (779,497)   (194)   (779,303)
Net losses  $(928,400)  $(8,830)  $(919,570)

Loss from Operations

Revenue

Revenue for the three-months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 was $nil. Other income of $8,000 in the current three-month period since our acquisition of the assets and assumption of liabilities of Down2Fish is attributed to an operating lease agreement for the use of our charter boats in the off-season.

We expect to increase revenues in the near term as our business secures fishing charters for the “red snapper” season that begins in the middle of June.

 17 

 

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three-months ended March 31, 2023, increased to $148,903 as compared to $8,636 for the three-months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 1,624%. The increase in operating expenses over the three-month comparative periods ended March 31, is attributed to increases in general and administrative expenses, and professional fees associated with the acquisition of Down2Fish, offset by revenues in the three-months ended March 31, 2023.

We expect operating expenses to decrease in the near term as we have realized the professional fees associated with the acquisition of Down2Fish and will be managing fishing charters in the second quarter of this year.

Other Expense

Other expense for the three-months ended March 31, 2023, increased to $779,497 as compared to $194 for the three-months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 401,703%. The increase in other expense over the three-month comparative periods ended March 31, is attributed to loss on asset purchase, depreciation and interest expense, offset by lease and interest income.

We expect other expense to increase as depreciation and interest expenses will continue to increase in the near term due to outstanding debt and the aging of our charter vessels.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three-months ended March 31, 2023, was $928,400 as compared to a net loss $8,830 for the three-months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 10,414%. The increase in net loss over the three-month comparative periods ended March 31, can be primarily attributed to increases in operating expenses and other expense, offset by revenue.

We expect net loss to continue in the near term as ongoing debt obligations will continue to negatively affect operating results until such time as revenue can be realized sufficient to extinguish negative cash flows.

Capital Expenditures

Arvana expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Arvana had current assets of $56,662 as of March 31, 2023, that consisted of cash and other assets, with a working capital deficit of $55,343. Total assets as of March 31, 2023, amounted to $265,108 that consisted of current assets, property, equipment, and intangible assets associated with Down2Fish.

Arvana had current and total assets of $142,365 as of December 31, 2022, that consisted of solely of cash with a working capital surplus of $104,495.

Net stockholders' deficit was $749,471 as of March 31, 2023, as compared to net stockholder’s deficit of $104,495 as of December 31, 2022.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, was $44,115 as compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $222 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. Net cash used in operating activities can be attributed to book expense items that do not affect the total amount relative to actual cash used, such as depreciation expense, stock-based compensation, and loss on asset purchase. 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, deferred revenue, and related party payables.

We expect to continue to use net cash flow in operating activities over the next twelve months or until such time as Arvana generates sufficient revenue from operations to offset the cost of operating activities.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, was $45,911 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $nil for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. Net cash used in investing activities in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, is attributed to the payment against the purchase of Down2Fish, offset by cash acquired from the acquisition.

We expect to use net cash in investing activities in future periods as the implementation of our business plan will cause us to invest in additional capital equipment.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, was $776 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $nil for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. Net cash used in financing activities in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, is attributed to payments on loans payable.

We expect to rely on net cash provided by financing activities in future periods to as our business development strategy does require us to undertake financing measures to grow our business.

Arvana’s assets are insufficient as of March 31, 2023, to implement its plan of operation to expand the business operations of Down2Fish over the next twelve months. We anticipate conducting another private equity offering to meet our objectives and will look to third parties to secure financing. Management is confident that its efforts to realize additional funding will be successful.

Arvana does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Arvana had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of March 31, 2023.

Arvana had no commitments for future capital expenditures at March 31, 2023.

Arvana has adopted the Arvana Inc. 2022 Stock Incentive Plan and has an employment agreement with its executive officer.

Arvana plans to purchase an additional vessel to be used in offering dolphin tours in the near term, subject to satisfactory financing being available, though it has no contractual commitment to do so.

Arvana has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities.”

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses in the reporting period. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. We continually review the estimates and underlying assumptions to ensure they are appropriate for the circumstances. Accounting assumptions and estimates are inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially from our estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, that are included in this Form 10-K. We discuss accounting policies that are significant in determining results of operations and the currency of its financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

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 March 31, 2023. 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 not 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 such information was not accumulated and communicated to management, including its chief executive officer and 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 quarter ended March 31, 2023, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
