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

Arvana Inc. (“our”, “we”,”us” and the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Turinco, Inc. on September 16, 1977. On July 24, 2006, the shareholders approved a change of the Company’s name from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary Arvana Networks Inc. (including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Arvana Participaçōes S.A. and Arvana Comunicações do Brasil S. A. 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.

 

Our reporting currency and functional currency is the United States dollar (“US Dollar”) and the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US Dollars.

 

These condensed 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 six month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized a net loss of $116,414 as a result of general administrative expenses, interest expenses and foreign exchange losses. At June 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,368,775. 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

 

Basis of presentation

The Company is in the process of transacting a business opportunity and has minimal operating levels. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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. Results are not necessarily indicative of results which may be achieved in the future. Although they are unaudited, 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. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and related notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 7, 2017.

 

Use of 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. These estimates include the recognition of deferred tax assets based on the change in unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences.

 

Financial instruments

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such values:

 

Cash - the carrying amount approximates fair value because the amounts consist of cash held at a bank.

  

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

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The update requires several changes with respect to recognition and measurement as well as disclosure requirements with respect to financial instruments). The amendments to (ASU) 2016-01 are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2017, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the prospective impact that (ASU) 2016-01 will have on its balance sheet.

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The standard requires lessors to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A sales-type lease occurs if the lessor transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor does not convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures

 

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2016-9, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, requiring certain changes to recognition and measurement as well as disclosure of Share-Based Payments. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, requiring certain changes to the recognition and measurement as well as disclosure of incurred and expected credit losses. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2016-18, requiring that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of- period total cash amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Consequently, transfers between cash and restricted cash will not be presented as a separate line item in the operating, investing or financing sections of the cash flow statement. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company considers that ASU 2016-18 will have a limited impact on the presentation of the statement of cash flows.

Recent accounting pronouncements (continued)

 

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2017-07, requiring certain changes to the presentation of the expenses related to postretirement benefits accounted for under Topic 715. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

3. Amounts Due to Related Parties and Loans Payable to Stockholders

 

From February, 2007, until June 30, 2017, the Company received a number of loans from stockholders, related parties and unrelated third parties. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had received loans of $585,659 (Euro 225,000; CAD$ 72,300; $273,107) (December 31, 2016 - $564,399: Euro 225,000; CAD$ 72,300; $273,107) from stockholders, loans of $130,269 (CAD$ 27,600; $109,000) (December 31, 2016 – $129,556: CAD$ 27,600; $109,000) from a related party and loans of $65,506 (CAD$ 10,000; $40,000) (December 31, 2016 – $47,448: CAD$10,000; $40,000) from unrelated third parties.

The Company also received an additional loan of $17,800 from CaiE Food Partnership Ltd. with terms and conditions of this loan to be finalized at a later date.

 

At June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had amounts due to related parties of $537,419 and $525,954, respectively. This amount includes $136,100 at June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, payable to two former directors and a current director 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.

7. Convertible Loan

 

On May 18, 2016, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (“Convertible Note”) agreement pursuant to which the Company received $50,000 (2015 - $Nil) from CaiE Food Partnership Ltd. (“CaiE”). The $50,000 Convertible Note is convertible into common stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time before maturity at the option of the holder at a fixed price of $0.20 per share. Due to the conversion price being lower than the closing share price on the grant date, a beneficial conversion feature resulted from this issuance. The Convertible Note accrues interest at a rate equal to 10% per year. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016, $8,334 and $10,417 of the discount was amortized, respectively. As at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance of the Convertible Note was $43,751 and $35,417 respectively.

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

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Our fiscal year end is December 31. All information presented herein is based on the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

 

Overview

 

On March 17, 2016, the Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with CaiE Food Partnership Ltd. (“CaiE”) for the purpose of acquiring CaiE as a wholly owned subsidiary. CaiE is in the business of manufacturing and distributing fresh Dim Sum food products from a facility in Sparks Nevada. The MOU anticipates that the Company will issue, subject to shareholder approval, a fully diluted sixty-seven percent (67%) interest in its common stock in exchange for CaiE. The MOU further provides that CaiE lend the Company fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) on a convertible basis prior to the consummation of the transaction. The anticipated transaction will require the Company to convert existing debt into shares of its common stock, increase the number of authorized common shares, elect a new Board of Directors and change its name to reflect the new business. CaiE had loaned the Company $77,800 as of the filing date of this report and the Company is working with CaiE to finalize a definitive transaction.

 

In the event that the Company does not complete the acquisition of CaiE, its intention will be to identify and evaluate alternative business opportunities that might be a good match for the Company. We will not be able to develop any identified business opportunities without additional financing. Our Board of Directors and management are actively pursuing financing in order to maintain operations but are not evaluating other potential opportunities pending the anticipated transaction with CaiE.

 

Our Plan of Operation

 

The Company’s plan of operation over the next twelve months is to acquire CaiE as a wholly owned subsidiary on those terms to be provided within definitive agreements based on the MOU and thereafter to focus on CaiE’s business model. We will require a minimum of $50,000 in funding over the next 12 months to maintain operations and acquire CaiE. On completing the acquisition of CaiE the Company may need additional capital to grow CaiE’s business. The amount of funding that may be required for this purpose is not determinable at this time.

 

Should the Company not complete the anticipated transaction with CaiE then it will seek to identify an alternative business opportunity for which purpose it will require a minimum of $25,000 in funding over the next 12 months. The Company will most likely need additional funding to complete any alternative transaction that might be identified within this time frame.

 

 14 

 

 

We anticipate that the required prospective funding in the near term will be in the form of convertible debt financing from CaiE. Should the Company not complete the anticipated transaction with CaiE, then requisite funding may come from the sale of our common shares or unsecured shareholder loans. The Company does not have any alternative financing arranged and cannot be certain that it will be able to realize funding from the sale of equity or that shareholders will continue to provide loans. Accordingly, we will require continued financial support from our shareholders and creditors until the Company is able to generate sufficient cash flow to maintain operations on a sustained basis. There is substantial doubt that the Company will be successful in maintaining operations unless it completes the acquisition of CaiE.

 

Results of Operations

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company (i) obtained an additional loan from CaiE; and (ii) satisfied continuous public disclosure requirements.

 

Our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are summarized below.

Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the period  ($75,151)  ($12,950)  ($116,414)  ($96,392)

 

Net Losses

 

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017, was $75,151 as compared to net loss of $12,950 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase of net losses over the three month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2016, can be attributed to an increase in foreign exchange loss, and an increase in interest expense as a result of accretion on the convertible loan, which are offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses and professional fees over the comparable three month periods. The loss on foreign exchange is due to an increase in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar, which increase has negatively impacted the cost of those expenses that are payable in foreign currencies.

 

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $116,414 as compared to net loss of $96,392 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase of net loss over the six month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2016, can be attributed to an increase in foreign exchange loss, and an increase in interest expense as a result of accretion on the convertible loan, which are offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses over the comparable six month periods. The loss on foreign exchange is due to an increase in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar, which increase has negatively impacted the cost of those expenses that are payable in foreign currencies.

 

 15 

 

 

We did not generate revenue during this period and expect to continue to incur losses over the next twelve months at a rate comparable to the prior annual period presented here or until such time as we are able to conclude the acquisition or development of a new business opportunity that produces net income.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the six month period ended June 30, 2017.

 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

 

The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward and start up costs that will offset any future operating profit.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

The Company believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since inception, the Company has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ deficiency.

 

The Company had current and total assets of $12,984 as of June 30, 2017, consisting solely of cash and a working capital deficit of $2,368,775, as compared to current and total assets of $6,045, consisting solely of cash and a working capital deficit of $2,252,361 as of December 31, 2016. Net stockholders' deficiency in the Company was $2,368,775 at June 30, 2017, as compared to a net stockholder’s deficiency in the Company of $2,252,361 at December 31, 2016.

 

Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 was $10,861 as compared to $25,347 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. Changes in net cash used in operating activities in the current six month period can be attributed primarily to a number of items that are book expense items which do not affect the total amount relative to actual cash used such as unrealized foreign exchange and accretion of convertible debt. Balance sheet accounts that actually 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 and amounts due to related parties.

 

We expect to continue to use net cash flow in operating activities over the next twelve months or until such time as the Company can generate sufficient revenue to offset operating expenses.

 

Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

We do expect to use net cash flow in investing activities in connection with the prospective acquisition of CaiE. However, until such time as such transaction is concluded, we do not expect to use net cash flows in investing activities.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Cash flow provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017, was $17,800 as compared to $50,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The cash flows provided from financing activities over the comparative six month periods can be attributed to loans received from CaiE.

 

 16 

 

 

We expect to continue to use cash flow provided by financing activities to maintain operations, acquire CaiE and alternatively, in the event that our shareholders do not approve the acquisition of CaiE, to seek out suitable business opportunities.

 

The Company’s current assets are insufficient to conduct its plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months as it will need at least $25,000 to maintain operations. The Company secured a convertible loan in the amount of $50,000 in 2016 and has received an additional $17,800 in 2017 from CaiE to maintain operations. However, the Company has no commitments or arrangements for the funding necessary to complete the prospective acquisition of CaiE though it does expect that funding will become available. The Company’s shareholders or CaiE remain the most likely sources of new funding in the form of loans or equity placements though none have made any commitment for future investment as of the date of this report. The Company’s inability to obtain sufficient funding to maintain operations would have a material adverse affect on its ability to acquire CaiE.

 

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

 

The Company had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of June 30, 2017.

 

The Company had no commitments for future capital expenditures that were material at June 30, 2017.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2017, we have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on debt or 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, included in our Form 10-K, the Company discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

 17 

 

 

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

 

Going Concern

Management of the Company has expressed an opinion as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of an accumulated deficit of $23,592,190 since inception and negative cash flows from operating activities as of June 30, 2017. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the ability of the Company to obtain funding from outside sources. Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes obtaining funding from the private placement of equity or through debt financing. Management believes that it will be able to obtain funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, though there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

 

Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition

The statements contained in the section titled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this current report, with the exception of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance, and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not materialize. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

 

our anticipated financial performance and business plan;
the sufficiency of existing capital resources;
our ability to raise capital to fund cash requirements for future operations;
uncertainties related to the Company’s future business prospects;
the volatility of the stock market and;
general economic conditions.

 

We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated. We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations, other than as required by law.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 718, Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.

 

 18 

 

 

We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 505. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services.

 

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 June 30, 2017. 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 the 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 ineffective 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 the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
