Overview

Until the end of 2007 our business operations were focused on the telecommunications industry. In December 2007 we decided to exit the telecommunications industry and disposed of our German subsidiary Hallotel. We are currently in the process of evaluating other industries and business opportunities in order to determine the focus of our future business opportunities. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in identifying suitable business opportunities, or if we are able to identify suitable business opportunities, that we will able to find an adequate source of financing to acquire any business or business assets, and commence operations, or that those operations, if commenced, will be successful in generating profits.

Corporate Organization

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977. Our authorized capital is comprised of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001.

Subsidiaries

We operate through our wholly-owned subsidiaries which include the following:

 

1.

Arvana Networks Inc., a company incorporated in Barbados in January, 2005.

 

 

 

 

2.

Arvana Participações S.A., a company incorporated in Brazil in April, 2005 and its subsidiary Arvana Comunicações. S.A., both subsidiaries of Arvana Networks.

Acquisition of Arvana Networks

We acquired Arvana Networks in August, 2005 in a transaction whereby we issued 4,500,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Arvana Networks. Included in the 4,500,000 shares were 1,500,000 shares that were not considered issued for accounting purposes as the consideration for those shares had not yet been received. In 2007, the 1,500,000 shares were returned to the Company and cancelled. Arvana Networks’ business activities to date were directed towards market analysis, developing business plans and searching out appropriate local partners in order to launch VoIP telephone services in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and other major cities in Brazil in 2006. We are no longer pursuing business in the telecommunications industry and Arvana Networks and its subsidiaries are considered to be inactive.

Acquisition of BCH Beheer and Hallotel

On August 9, 2006, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Brulex – Consultadoria Economica E Marketing Ltda. (“Brulex”), its subsidiary BCH Beheer, and its subsidiary Hallotel Deutschland GmbH (“Hallotel”) whereby we agreed to acquire Hallotel through the

2


acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of BCH Beheer from Brulex. We completed this transaction on August 23, 2006, and we paid to Brulex the following consideration for the purchase:

  • the issuance of 3,541,700 shares of our common stock;
  • the payment of 500,000 Euros in cash (equivalent to $639,700 based on an exchange rate of $1.00 per 0.7816 Euros); and
  • the issuance of a promissory note in the amount of 250,000 Euros ($319,850).

In addition, we provided for an adjustment to the purchase price for certain payments made by Hallotel after October, 2005, and up to the closing date of August 23, 2006; 80,932 Euros ($103,544) for certain telephony technology hardware purchased; and 277,630 Euros ($355,200) for actual commissions paid by Hallotel to its third party sales persons in respect of carrier pre-select sign-ups on net new customers. The total amount provided for in these adjustments is 358,562 Euros ($458,744) and is payable to Brulex.

On December 7, 2007, we entered into a settlement and share purchase agreement with Brulex to sell Hallotel back to Brulex. Under the terms of the agreement Brulex returned to the Company for cancellation the 3,541,700 of its common shares issued for the acquisition of BCH Beheer and Hallotel. The shares were valued at $283,336 based on our common share price of $0.08 on December 7, 2007. The amounts due to Brulex under the terms of the original Acquisition were reduced by $447,116 to €225,000. We also wrote off a receivable due from Hallotel in the amount of $74,913 as well as software retained by Hallotel in the amount of $64,104. The net effect of the transactions resulted in a loss of $2,239,014 upon disposal of Hallotel. With the sale of Hallotel we had exited the telecommunications industry.

On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Nazleal S.A. to dispose of the Company’s subsidiary, BCH Beheer. Under the terms of the agreement, Nazleal S.A. will assume all debts, obligations, and guarantees of BCH Beheer as of December 30, 2008, totaling €40,334 ($56,145) and the Company will reimburse Nazleal S.A. €20,000 ($27,840) for assuming all of BCH Beheer’s liabilities. The Company also wrote off $8 in cash. The net effect of the above transactions resulted in a gain of $28,297 upon disposal of BCH Beheer.

Our Plan of Operations

We exited the telecommunications industry at the end of 2007 and our present plan of operations for the next twelve months is to identify and evaluate industries and business opportunities in order to find a suitable business to enter into.

We will not be able to pursue any new business opportunities without additional financing. Our board of directors and management are actively pursuing obtaining financing in order to maintain operations while we evaluate potential businesses. Since December 31, 2009 we have obtained loans totaling $14,734 to provide operating capital. We estimate that this provides sufficient cash to operate through June 30, 2010.

In order to maintain operations while we evaluate new businesses we anticipate that we will need additional funding of approximately $200,000 during 2010. We had cash in the amount of $534 and a working capital deficit of $1,541,357 as at December 31, 2009. If we are successful in identifying a new business opportunity we will require funding in order to pursue that opportunity. The amount of funding required will depend on the opportunity and is not determinable at this time.

Other than small advances from shareholders, we believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of our business development as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations. In addition, in order to obtain equity financing it may be necessary for us to consider a capital restructuring, which may or may not include a common stock reverse split. The board is currently considering all avenues available to obtain financing.

Accordingly, we will require continued financial support from our shareholders and creditors until we are able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations on a sustained basis. There is substantial doubt that we will be successful at achieving these results.

The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2009.

  • BCH Beheer up to the disposal date of December 30, 2008;

Administration Expenses

Administrative expenses are comprised of costs associated with management compensation, office overhead including rent, legal fees, and consulting services.

Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses)

Foreign exchange gains and losses are associated with exchange rate changes affecting the Company’s payables and loans that are based in Euros and Canadian dollars.

Stock-based Compensation

In June 2006, we awarded 1,600,000 stock options to a number of directors, management and consultants. The stock options have an exercise price of $1.25 per share which was the current market value of the shares at the time. As a result of this program, we have recorded an expense of $1,424,000 in stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. The Company recorded an expense of $528,800 in 2008 for the pro-rated portion of the full charge.

Gain on disposal of BCH Beheer

On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Nazleal S.A. to dispose of the Company’s subsidiary, BCH Beheer. Under the terms of the agreement, Nazleal S.A. will assume all debts, obligations, and guarantees of BCH Beheer as of December 30, 2008, totaling €40,334 ($56,145) and the Company will reimburse Nazleal S.A. €20,000 ($27,840) for assuming all of BCH Beheer’s liabilities. The Company also wrote off $8 in cash. The net effect of the above transactions resulted in a gain of $28,297 upon disposal of BCH Beheer.

Net Loss for the Period

We incurred a net loss of $243,923 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared with a net loss of $709,500 in 2008. The majority of the loss in 2008 was related to our stock-based compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at December 31, 2009, we had cash of $534 and a working capital deficit of $1,541,357. This compares to cash of $738 and working capital deficit of $1,297,734 as at December 31, 2008.

Plan of Operations

We exited the telecommunications industry at the end of 2007 and our present plan of operations for the next twelve months is to identify and evaluate industries and business opportunities in order to find a suitable business to enter into.

We will not be able to pursue any new business opportunities without additional financing. Our board of directors and management are actively pursuing obtaining financing in order to maintain operations while we evaluate potential businesses. Since December 31, 2009 we have obtained loans totaling $14,734 to provide operating capital. We estimate that this provides sufficient cash to operate through June 30, 2010.

In order to maintain operations while we evaluate new businesses we anticipate that we will need additional funding of approximately $200,000 during 2010. We had cash in the amount of $534 and a working capital deficit of $1,541,357 as at December 31, 2009. If we are successful in identifying a new business opportunity we will require funding in order to pursue that opportunity. The amount of funding required will depend on the opportunity and is not determinable at this time.

During the next twelve month period, we anticipate that our revenues will not exceed our operating expenses. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations. Other than small advances from shareholders, we believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of our business development as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations. In addition, in order to obtain equity financing it may be necessary for us to consider a capital restructuring, which may or may not include a common stock reverse split. The board is currently considering all avenues available to obtain financing.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

We used cash in operations in the amount of $123,226 during fiscal 2009, as compared to $233,150 during fiscal 2008. Cash used in operations during the year ended December 31, 2009 was attributable primarily to payments for administrative expenses.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

We did not use cash in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The Company obtained $123,022 from financing activities during fiscal 2009. The Company received $126,800 from unsecured loans bearing 6% interest per annum and made a loan repayment of $3,778. In fiscal 2008 the Company received $234,779 from unsecured loans bearing 6% interest per annum and made a loan repayment of $3,804.

Going Concern

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $243,923. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,541,357. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception of the Company we have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operations. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our shares of common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our plan of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no 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

Basis of Presentation

We are currently in the development stage and present our financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.

Our financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries Arvana Networks, Arvana Par, Arvana Com and its former wholly owned subsidiaries BCH Beheer up to December 30, 2008 and Hallotel up to December 7, 2007. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Foreign currency translation and transactions

Our functional currency is the United States dollar.

The Company uses the temporal method when translating the Brazilian subsidiary operations. Long-term assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods.

The Company used the current rate method when translating its former German subsidiary operations Hallotel. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods. The cumulative effects of these translation adjustments are presented as a component of comprehensive income.

8


Transactions conducted in foreign currencies are recorded using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the functional currency of each entity using the exchange rate in effect at the period end date. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in foreign exchange gain or loss.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 “Stock Compensation,” using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date. We granted stock options in June 2006 and have recorded an expense of $1,424,000 in stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. The Company recorded an expense of $528,800 in 2008 for the pro-rated portion of the full charge.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, amending ASC 820. ASU 2010-06 requires entities to provide new disclosures and clarify existing disclosures relating to fair value measurements.  The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-06, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements amending ASC 605. ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. ASU 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of revenue allocation and requires revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2009-13, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Arvana, Inc. and subsidiaries (A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Arvana, Inc. and subsidiaries (A Development Stage Company) as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from the beginning of the development stage on January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2009.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from the beginning of the development stage on January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2009 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has minimal assets, is dependent upon financing to continue operations has suffered recurring losses from operations, and has a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2009.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regards to these matters are discussed in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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

Arvana Inc., (the ‘Company’) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Turinco, Inc. on September 16, 1977, with authorized common stock of 2,500 shares with a par value of $0.25. On October 16, 1998, the authorized capital stock was increased to 100,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001. On July 24, 2006, the shareholders approved a change of the Company’s name from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc.

In 1998, the Company completed a common stock split of eight shares for each outstanding share. In 2005, the Company completed another common stock split of nine shares for each outstanding share. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared showing after stock split shares with a par value of $0.001.

These consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiary Arvana Networks (including its wholly-owned subsidiaries Arvana Par and Arvana Comunicações do Brasil S. A. (“Arvana Com”) and its formerly-owned subsidiary BCH Beheer B.V. up to its date of disposal on December 30, 2008 (and its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary Hallotel Deutschland GmbH up to its date of disposal on December 7, 2007). The Company has ceased all operations in its subsidiary companies, and has written-off or disposed of all assets in the subsidiary companies, consequently they are now all considered to be inactive subsidiaries.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred a loss from operations of $243,923. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,541,357. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Accordingly, 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 began to generate revenues as a result of the acquisition of Hallotel during the final four months of 2006. In 2007 the Company commenced its planned principal operations and determined its target market segments and market strategies. Consequently, the Company exited the development stage during early 2007. The Company then disposed of Hallotel in December 2007 and ceased all operations in its subsidiary companies. The Company is again in the process of evaluating business opportunities and has returned to the development stage and presents its financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the cumulative amounts from the beginning of the development stage on January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2009, 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-K and Regulation S-K. In the opinion of management, they include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation. Results are not necessarily indicative of results which may be achieved in the future.

b) Basis of consolidation
Included in the financial statements are the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries Arvana Networks, Arvana Par, and Arvana Com. The accounts of the Company’s formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, BCH Beheer, are included up to the date of its disposal on December 30, 2008. The accounts of the Company’s formerly wholly-owned subsidiary, Hallotel, are included up to the date of its disposal on December 7, 2007. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

c) Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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.

d) Foreign currency translation and transactions
The Company uses the temporal method when translating the Brazilian subsidiary operations. Long-term assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods.

The Company used the current rate method when translating its former Dutch subsidiary BCH Beheer and its former German subsidiary Hallotel. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the periods.

Transactions conducted in foreign currencies are recorded using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the functional currency of each entity using the exchange rate in effect at the period end date. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in foreign exchange gain or loss.

The exchange rate prevailing at December 31, 2009, was 1.7435, stated in the Brazilian Real per one US dollar. The average exchange rate during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, was 2.0085 stated in the Brazilian Real per one US dollar. For the Euro, the exchange rate prevailing at December 31, 2009, was 1.4332 US dollars per Euro and the average exchange rate during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, was 1.3946 US dollars per Euro.

e) Revenue recognition
The Company records revenues upon the completion of the services and where the ability to collect is reasonably assured.

f) Comprehensive income
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.

g) Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with terms to maturity of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents.

h) Accounts receivable
Trade and other accounts receivable are reported at face value less any provisions for uncollectible accounts considered necessary. Accounts receivable primarily includes trade receivables from customers. The Company estimates doubtful accounts on an item-by-item basis and includes over-aged accounts as part of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which are generally ones that are ninety days or greater overdue.

i) Property and equipment:
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated on a straight line basis, commencing when the assets are put into use over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

  Machinery & equipment 10 years
  Office equipment 3 – 5 years
  Computer hardware 5 years
  Software 1 – 4 years

The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets might be impaired and the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying value of the assets to the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets over the remaining economic life. If the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are considered impaired. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets to their carrying values. Fair value is determined by either a quoted market price or a value determined by a discounted cash flow technique, whichever is more appropriate under the circumstances involved. No impairment was required to be recorded during the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

j) Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of:
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

k) Financial instruments
Financial instruments of the Company are comprised of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, note payable, amounts due to and from related parties, and loans payable. The estimated fair values of financial instruments were considered by management to be not materially different from their carrying values due to their short term to maturity or capacity for prompt liquidation.

l) Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk consists of cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured 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 accounts.

m) Asset retirement obligations
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost). The Company does not have any asset retirement obligations for the periods presented.

n) 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.

o) Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 “Stock Compensation,” using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.

p) Net loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants.

q) Reclassifications
Certain of the comparative figures for the prior years have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current year.

r) Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, amending ASC 820. ASU 2010-06 requires entities to provide new disclosures and clarify existing disclosures relating to fair value measurements.  The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2010-06, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements amending ASC 605. ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. ASU 2009-13 eliminates the residual method of revenue allocation and requires revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2009-13, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3. Arvana Networks Transaction

On August 18, 2005, Arvana Inc. (“Arvana”) completed a transaction with Arvana Networks whereby 100% of the 4,500,000 shares (1,500,000 shares of which are described below) of Arvana Networks were exchanged for an equal number of shares in Arvana Inc.

Arvana Networks had an agreement with IP Horizon LLC (“IPH”), whereby IPH was issued 1,500,000 shares in exchange for a commitment to deliver equipment, software and network hardware for the initial launching of VoIP service in Brazil.

As at December 31, 2006, the Company had not received the full complement of assets to be acquired in connection with this transaction or other consideration. Accordingly, the 1,500,000 shares were not reflected on our financial statements as having been issued. In 2007 the following agreement was reached with IPH with respect to this transaction:

  i.
IPH returned to the Company for cancellation the 1,500,000 common shares of Arvana issued to IPH in August 2005.
  ii.
IPH had contributed certain equipment to, and had developed certain software for, the Company, with an agreed upon value of $150,000. In settlement of the debt due from the contribution of the aforementioned equipment and software architecture services from IPH to Arvana and Arvana Networks, during 2007 the Company issued 500,000 common shares at an agreed price of $0.30 per share. The shares were recorded as being issued at a price of $0.15 per share, the price of the Company’s shares at the date of entering into the debt settlement agreement, giving rise to a gain on settlement of debt of $75,000.
  iii.
As both Arvana and Arvana Networks are development stage companies, the share exchange transaction was outside the scope of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141, “Business Combination”. Consequently, the transaction was recorded at the fair value of the 3.0 million Arvana’s common shares issued for the transaction based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the agreement of $2.28 per share. This agreed upon consideration paid for the transaction was calculated based on the fair value of the assets recorded on Arvana Networks financial statements at the time of the transaction and on the compensation expenses given to management of Arvana Networks for pre-operating services provided to Arvana Networks and to retain their services. As such, the purchase price of the transaction was allocated among the $5,800 in cash and $131,747 in other assets acquired and $310,857 in liabilities assumed based on the fair value and the excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded in 2005 as compensation expense paid of $7,013,310 to the management of Arvana Networks at the time of the transaction.

4. Arvana Comunicações Transaction

On October 6, 2005, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, completed the first closing of an investment agreement with Gloinfo 500 Soluções EM Telemática Ltda. (“Gloinfo”) and Paulo Messina (described below) for the acquisition of Arvana Comunicações.

In early 2006, management entered into negotiations with the principals of Gloinfo with the intention of terminating the Investment Agreement by mutual agreement. On October 31, 2006 the Company signed a definitive agreement with Gloinfo pursuant to which the Investment Agreement was terminated. The main terms of the termination of the Investment Agreement that have been agreed to by Gloinfo were as follows:

  i.
The terms of the Investment Agreement have been cancelled and Gloinfo transferred its 25% ownership to Arvana Par.
  ii.
The customers that were to be transferred to Arvana Com under the terms of the agreement remained with Gloinfo.
  iii.
The employees that were to be transferred under the terms of the agreement remained with Gloinfo.
  iv.
Employees that were hired into the project were terminated and the termination costs were shared 75% by Arvana Com and 25% by Gloinfo.
  v.
Arvana Com obtained the “Televoz” branding and the website associated with this product from Gloinfo.
  vi.
Arvana Com retained ownership and operating control of the technology platform used by Gloinfo to service their customers. Gloinfo purchased and installed a new technology platform and was to return the original equipment to Arvana.

During 2007 the Company determined that an advance of $58,411 that it had made to Gloinfo was uncollectible and wrote it off as bad debt expense. During 2007 the Company also wrote-off $37,196 in property and equipment held by Gloinfo that the Company determined was unrecoverable.

5. BCH Beheer and Hallotel Deutschland GmbH Transactions

On August 9, 2006 the Company, Brulex – Consultadoria Economica E Marketing Ltda. (“Brulex”) and Hallotel Deutschland GmbH (“Hallotel”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired control over Hallotel through the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding shares of BCH Beheer B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor that owned all of the outstanding shares of Hallotel. The purchase price for the Acquisition was paid by way of:

  i.
the issue of 3,541,700 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $0.40 per share;
  ii.
the payment of €500,000 in cash; and
  iii.
the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of €250,000 provided that the promissory note will not be payable and will be deemed cancelled if certain information as set out in the Share Purchase Agreement to be delivered by Brulex to the Purchaser within 30 days of the closing of the Acquisition relating to certain assets was not delivered or, if delivered, did not materially conform with information provided to the Company as at the date of the Share Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the purchase price was increased by:

  i.
a payable to Brulex in the amount of €80,932 for the price actually paid by Hallotel for any telephone technology hardware or software assets acquired after October 19, 2005 and before the closing date of the Acquisition that are required for the provision of established Hallotel services to its customers; and
  ii.
a payable to Brulex in the amount of €277,630 for commissions paid by Hallotel to its salespersons in respect of carrier pre-select sign-ups on net new customers after October 19, 2005 and before the closing date of the Acquisition, as provided in the Share Purchase Agreement.

Prior to the acquisition date, Arvana had paid $26,941 for acquisition related expenses and this amount was included in the purchase price. A transaction fee was paid by issuing 208,300 additional shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $0.40 per share.

The purchase price of the transaction, with a value of $2,948,003 was allocated as to $105,659 in cash, $1,080,529 in accounts receivables, $15,371 in other current assets, $1,368,845 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and, $2,605,499 to the value of monthly subscribers held by Hallotel at the time of the acquisition. Equipment valued at $500,915 and software valued at $8,875 was held by Hallotel on the acquisition date.

On December 7, 2007, the Company entered into a settlement and share purchase agreement with Brulex to dispose of the Company’s subsidiary, Hallotel. Under the terms of the agreement Brulex returned to the Company for cancellation the 3,541,700 of its common shares issued for the acquisition of BCH Beheer and Hallotel. The shares were valued at $283,336 based on the Company’s common share price of $0.08 on December 7, 2007. The amounts due to Brulex under the terms of the original Acquisition were reduced by $447,116, which consisted of accounts payable of $338,236 and note payable of $108,880, to €225,000. The Company wrote off a receivable due from Hallotel in the amount of $74,913 as well as software retained by Hallotel in the amount of $64,104. The original investment in Hallotel by the Company of $2,948,003 was adjusted by the effect of Hallotel’s operations from acquisition to disposal resulting in a net decrease in the Company’s retained earnings of $74,455 and an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $43,099. The net effect of the above transactions resulted in a loss of $2,239,014 upon disposal of Hallotel.

On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Nazleal S.A. to dispose of the Company’s subsidiary, BCH Beheer. Under the terms of the agreement, Nazleal S.A. will assume all debts, obligations, and guarantees of BCH Beheer as of December 30, 2008, totaling €40,334 ($56,145) and the Company will reimburse Nazleal S.A. €20,000 ($27,840) for assuming all of BCH Beheer’s liabilities. The Company also wrote off $8 in cash. The net effect of the above transactions resulted in a gain of $28,297 upon disposal of BCH Beheer.

Accrued interest of $13 has been recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had amounts due to related parties in the amount of $207,661 ( 2008 - $196,482). This amount includes $136,100 (2008 - $136,100) payable to three directors for services rendered during 2007. This amount is to be paid part in cash and part in stock at a future date with the number of common shares determined by the fair value of the shares on the settlement date. The amounts owing bear no interest, are unsecured, and have no fixed terms of repayment.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, $84,426 (2008 - $83,671) was incurred in general and administrative expenses by the Company for services rendered by the current Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company. At December 31, 2009, $11,894 (2008 - $6,979) was owed to the current Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company.

8. Share Capital

(a) During the year ended December 31, 2008, 3,541,700 shares were returned to the Company to be cancelled as part of the Brulex Settlement Agreement entered into on December 7, 2007, see Note 5. These shares had not yet been cancelled at December 31, 2009 and have been recorded as treasury stock at a value of $283,336 until they are cancelled.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company cancelled and returned to treasury 16,000 common shares at a par value of $0.001 per share. These shares had been held as unissued by the Company’s legal counsel.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued 500,000 common shares at a price of $0.15 per share in settlement of debt, see Note 3.

(b) The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 “Stock Compensation,” using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.

(c) The Company has a stock option plan in place under which it is authorized to grant options to executive officers and directors, employees and consultants enabling them to acquire up to 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Under the plan, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company's stock as calculated on the date of grant. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 10 years. On June 5, 2006, the Company granted 1,600,000 stock options to its directors and employees. Each option was exercisable into one common share until December 31, 2009 at an exercise price of $1.25. These options expired on December 31, 2009. The options were valued at $1,424,000 using the Black-Scholes model, and have been expensed over the vesting period of the options. The Company recorded an expense of $528,800 in 2008 (2007 - $662,800) for the balance of the full charge. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2006 was $0.89.

10. Deferred Income Taxes

Income tax benefits attributable to losses from United States of America operations was $Nil for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States of America federal income tax rate of 34 percent to pretax losses from operations as a result of the following:

             
    2009     2008  
             
Loss for the year before income taxes $  (243,923 ) $  (709,500 )
             
Computed "expected" tax benefit $  (82,934 ) $  (241,230 )
Non deductible expenses   18,327     148,838  
Lower effective income tax rate on (income) loss   -     -  
of foreign subsidiaries            
Change in valuation allowance   64,607     92,392  
             
Income tax expense $  -   $  -  

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are presented below:

             
    2009     2008  
Deferred tax assets:            
       Net operating loss carry forwards - US $  452,098   $  387,492  
Valuation allowance   (452,098 )   (387,492 )
Net deferred tax asset $  -   $  -  

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $452,098 and $387,492, respectively. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset attributable to net operating loss carryforwards, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $1,330,000 prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards.

11. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Company has received loans totaling $14,734. These loans are unsecured, payable on demand and bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

Engagement of Davidson and Company

We engaged Davidson and Company, Chartered Accountants, as our principal independent registered public accounting firm effective May 9, 2007. There have been no disagreements between the Company and Davidson and Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Davidson and Company would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2009 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.

Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of the Evaluation Date, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the Evaluation Date.

27


Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the Evaluation Date and identified the following material weaknesses:

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, and (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel.

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

As of the Evaluation Date, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the effectiveness of controls and procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our controls and procedures will prevent all potential errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION.

Not applicable.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.

Sir John Baring was appointed Chief Executive Officer and director to the board of directors (“the Board”) on May 26, 2005. Following the appointment of Mr. Jervis as Chief Executive Officer on October 17, 2005, Sir John was appointed Chairman of the board.

Prior to joining the Bread Garden he was employed in the construction, hospitality and security industries in a variety of management positions.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has established an audit committee that is comprised of Sir John Baring, Zahir Dhanani, and Robert Naso.

Our board of directors has determined that Zahir Dhanani qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”, as defined by the rules of the SEC. Our board of directors has further determined that all members of the audit committee are “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 121 of the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) listing standards.

The audit committee recommends independent accountants to audit its financial statements, discusses the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, considers the adequacy of the internal accounting controls, considers the audit procedures of the Company and reviews the non-audit services to be performed by the independent accountants.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all the Company’s directors, officers and employees. A copy of our Code of Ethics was incorporated by reference in our previously filed Form 10-KSB for fiscal 2007 as an exhibit.

Significant Employees

We do not have any other significant employees, other than our directors and executive officers named above.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 all such filing requirements applicable to our officers and directors were complied with.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on March 31, 2010. The percentage calculations are based on the aggregate of 21,202,375 shares issued and outstanding as at March 31, 2010.

Change of Control

We are not aware of any arrangement that might result in a change in control in the future.

Brulex – Consultadoria Economica E Marketing Ltda.

On August 9, 2006 the Company, Brulex – Consultadoria Economica E Marketing Ltda. (“Brulex”) and Hallotel Deutschland GmbH (“Hallotel”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company acquired control over Hallotel through the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding shares of BCH Beheer B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor that owned all of the outstanding shares of Hallotel. The purchase price for the Acquisition was paid by way of:

  iv.
the issue of 3,541,700 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $0.40 per share;
  v.
the payment of €500,000 ($639,700) in cash; and
  vi.
the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of €250,000 provided that the promissory note will not be payable and will be deemed cancelled if certain information as set out in the Share Purchase Agreement to be delivered by Brulex to the Purchaser within 30 days of the closing of the Acquisition relating to certain assets was not delivered or, if delivered, did not materially conform with information provided to the Company as at the date of the Share Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the purchase price was increased by:

  i.
a payable to Brulex in the amount of €80,932 for the price actually paid by Hallotel for any telephone technology hardware or software assets acquired after October 19, 2005 and before the closing date of the Acquisition that are required for the provision of established Hallotel services to its customers; and
  iii.
a payable to Brulex in the amount of €277,630 for commissions paid by Hallotel to its salespersons in respect of carrier pre-select sign-ups on net new customers after October 19, 2005 and before the closing date of the Acquisition, as provided in the Share Purchase Agreement.

33


Prior to the acquisition date, Arvana had paid $26,941 for acquisition related expenses and this amount was included in the purchase price. A transaction fee was paid by issuing 208,300 additional shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $0.40 per share.

The purchase price of the transaction, with a deemed value of $2,948,003 was allocated as to $105,659 in cash, $1,080,529 in accounts receivables, $15,371 in other current assets, $1,368,845 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and, $2,605,499 to the value of monthly subscribers held by Hallotel at the time of the acquisition. Equipment valued at $500,915 and software valued at $8,875 was held by Hallotel on the acquisition date.

On December 7, 2007, the Company entered into a settlement and share purchase agreement with Brulex to dispose of the Company’s subsidiary, Hallotel. Under the terms of the agreement Brulex returned to the Company for cancellation the 3,541,700 of its common shares issued for the acquisition of BCH Beheer and Hallotel. The shares were valued at $283,336 based on the Company’s common share price of $0.08 on December 7, 2007. The amounts due to Brulex under the terms of the original Acquisition were reduced by $447,116 to €225,000. The Company wrote off a receivable due from Hallotel in the amount of $74,913 as well as software retained by Hallotel in the amount of $64,104. The original investment in Hallotel by the Company of $2,948,003 was adjusted by the effect of Hallotel’s operations from acquisition to disposal resulting in a net decrease in the Company’s retained earnings of $74,455 and an accumulated other comprehensive loss of $43,099. The net effect of the above transactions resulted in a loss of $2,239,014 upon disposal of Hallotel.
