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

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada as Turinco, Inc. on September 16, 1977, with authorized common stock of 2,500 shares par value $0.25. In 1998, authorized common stock was increased to 100,000,000 shares par value $0.001 followed by a forward common stock split of eight shares for each outstanding share. In 2005, the Company completed another forward common stock split of nine shares for each outstanding share. On July 24, 2006, stockholders approved a name change from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc. On September 30, 2010, a reverse split of one share for twenty shares decreased authorized capital stock to 5,000,000 common shares par value $0.001. On March 15, 2021, the Company increased its authorized share capital to 500,000,000 common shares par value $0.001.

 

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 it as a wholly-owned subsidiary. CaiE is in the business of manufacturing and distributing fresh Dim Sum food products from a facility based in Sparks, Nevada. The MOU required CaiE to provide audited financial statements and a business plan as conditions precedent to entering into a binding agreement. CaiE has not satisfied the conditions necessary for us to move forward. On November 11, 2020, the Company notified CaiE that it was no longer interested in acquiring its business given the delays in obtaining its audited financial statements.

 

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized net loss of $2,259 as a result of general administrative expenses, professional fees and interest expenses offset by a foreign exchange gain. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,053,319 as of March 31, 2021. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020. COVID-19 is a contagious disease that continues to spread adversely affecting workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, which affects will likely result in an economic downturn. The Company cannot predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results connected to COVID-19, nor can it predict the effect, if any, COVID-19 will have on the Company’s search to identify a business opportunity or its ability to attract sufficient capital to sustain operations.

 

The Company’s present intention is to identify, evaluate and secure a business opportunity to create value for its stockholders. During this search the Company will require continued financial support from stockholders and creditors until it is able to generate net cash flow from operations. While the Company is confident that a business opportunity will be identified, the insufficiency of our financial resources casts substantial doubt on whether it will be able to fulfill this objective.

 

Failure to obtain the ongoing support of stockholders and creditors may indicate that the preparation of these financial statements on a going concern basis is inappropriate, in which case the Company’s assets and liabilities would need to be recognized at their liquidation values. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and liabilities that might arise from this uncertainty.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a) Basis of presentation

The Company is in the process of evaluating business opportunities and has minimal operating expenses. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying condensed interim financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The condensed interim financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 9, 2021. Results are not necessarily indicative of those which may be achieved in future periods.

 

b) Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates include the recognition of deferred tax assets based on the change in unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences.

 

c) Financial instruments

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

 

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

 

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

 

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

 

   March 31, 2021  December 31, 2020
   Carrying Amount  Fair Value  Carrying Amount  Fair Value
Cash  $907   $907   $4,994   $4,994 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   871,361    871,361    867,710    867,710 
Convertible loan   107,800    107,800    107,800    107,800 
Loans payable to stockholders   511,372    511,372    522,522    522,522 
Loans payable to related party   130,948    130,948    130,677    130,677 
Loans payable   74,762    74,762    74,664    74,664 
Amounts due to related parties   357,983    357,983    352,651    352,651

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

c) Financial instruments (continued)

 

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:

The fair value of cash is determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.

 

d) Recent accounting pronouncements

 

New and amended standards adopted by the Company

 

The following new and amended standards were adopted by the Company for the first time in this reporting period.

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, requiring certain changes to the recognition and measurement as well as disclosure of incurred and expected credit losses. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 to clarify certain aspects of the new current expected credit losses impairment model in ASU 2016-13. ASU 2018-19 points out that operating lease receivables are within the scope of ASC 842 rather than ASC 326. The standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2018-13, which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The amendments in this ASU are the result of a broader disclosure project called FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting — Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

8. Convertible Loans

 

On May 18, 2016, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to CaiE that accrues 10% per annum, in exchange for $50,000, initially due on November 17, 2017. The note is convertible into the Company’s common stock, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity at the option of the holder, at $0.20 per share. Since the conversion price was lower than the closing share price on the issuance date, a beneficial conversion feature was recognized as a discount against the debt. The maturity date of the note was extended by amendment, to March 31, 2021, while all other terms of the note remain unchanged. The Company reached out to CaiE to extend the maturity date of the convertible promissory note but no action to do so was agreed. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, no discount was amortized as interest expense, while the interest expense on the note was $1,250 for the period ended March 31, 2021, and $1,250 for the period ended March 31, 2020. As at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of the note was $50,000.

 

On October 12, 2018, the Company issued a convertible note to CaiE that accrues 10% per annum, in exchange for a series of loans that totaled $57,800 initially due on October 11, 2019. The note is convertible into the Company’s common stock, in whole or in part, at any time prior to maturity at the option of the holder at $0.20 per share. Since the conversion price was lower than the closing share price on the issuance date, a beneficial conversion feature was recognized as a discount against the debt. The maturity date of the note has been extended by amendment, to March 31, 2021, while all other terms of the note remain unchanged. The Company reached out to CaiE to extend the maturity date of the convertible promissory note but no action to do so was agreed. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, $nil and $nil of the discount was amortized as interest expense, while the interest expense on the note was $1,445 for the period ended March 31, 2021, and $1,445 for the period ended March 31, 2020. As at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of the note was $57,800.

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

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Our fiscal year end is December 31. All information presented herein is based on the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020.

 

Overview

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977, as “Turinco, Inc.” to engage in any legal undertaking. On July 24, 2006, the Company’s name was changed from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc. to reflect the acquisition of Arvana Networks, Inc., a telecommunications business. We discontinued efforts related to our telecommunications business as of December 31, 2009. We have since been in the process of seeking business opportunities that might enhance stockholder value.

 

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

 

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

 

Company

 

On March 17, 2016, we entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with CaiE Food Partnership Ltd. (“CaiE”) for the purpose of acquiring it as a wholly-owned subsidiary. CaiE is in the business of manufacturing and distributing fresh Dim Sum food products from a facility based in Sparks, Nevada. While CaiE loaned the Company $174,610 over nearly five years to sustain operations, it was unable to deliver the information necessary to complete the transaction despite constant assurances to the contrary. On November 11, 2020, CaiE was notified that the Company was no longer interested in pursuing the acquisition of its business. The constant delay has negatively affected our business prospects and placed an untenable burden on our stockholders. We expect to settle amounts due to CaiE in shares of our common stock.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Our present activities are focused on securing a business ready to support the attendant obligations and opportunities of being a public company. Management looks to its stockholders and creditors for sufficient financial support to sustain operations while this search is underway. We have no assurance that our stockholders or creditors will respond positively to our efforts.

Results of Operations

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company satisfied periodic public disclosure requirements while it continued the search for a business opportunity that might bring value to its stockholders.

 

Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, are summarized in the following table.

 

   Three months
Ended
March 31, 2021
  Three months
Ended
March 31, 2020
Operating Expenses          
 General and administrative  $(3,360)  $(11,702)
 Professional fees   (7,313)   (11,736)
Loss from Operations          
 Interest   (12,299)   (12,996)
 Foreign exchange gain   20,713    58,890 
Net income (loss) for the period  $(2,259)  $22,456 

 

Net Income/Losses

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021, can be attributed general administrative expenses, professional fees, and interest expense offset by a foreign exchange gain. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $22,456. The net income recognized over the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, can be attributed to a large foreign exchange gain offset by general administrative expenses, professional fees and interest expense. The gain on foreign exchange is due to a decrease in the value of foreign currencies against the US dollar, which positively impacts the cost of expenses payable in foreign currencies.

 

We did not generate revenue during this period and expect to continue to incur losses over the next twelve months.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

The Company had assets of $907 in cash as of March 31, 2021, with a working capital deficit of $2,053,319, as compared to assets of $4,994 in cash as of December 31, 2020, with a working capital deficit of $2,051,060. Net stockholders' deficit in the Company was $2,053,319 at March 31, 2021, as compared to a net stockholder’s deficit of $2,051,060 at December 31, 2020.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash flow used in operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, was $4,087 as compared to net cash flow used of $7,882 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. Changes in net cash used in operating activities in the current three-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 interest expense on 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, accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties.

 

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

 

Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020, was $nil.

We do not expect to use net cash in investing activities until such time as the Company closes on a transaction with a viable business opportunity.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Cash flow provided by financing activities for the three-months ended March 31, 2021, was $nil as compared to $25,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 2020. Cash flows provided from financing activities in the prior comparative three-month period are attributed to loans from CaiE.

 

We expect to continue to use net cash provided by financing activities to maintain operations.

 

The Company’s current assets are insufficient to conduct its plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months as it will need at least $25,000 to sustain operations while seeking to identify a suitable business opportunity and will need to address amounts owed to CaiE Foods. While the Company will look to its stockholders and creditors to provide debt or equity financing to secure those amounts necessary, it has no definitive commitments or arrangements for financial support. The Company’s inability to secure funding will have a material adverse effect on its ability to sustain operations.

 

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

 

The Company had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of March 31, 2021.

 

The Company had no commitments for future capital expenditures at March 31, 2021.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2021, we have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

 

Future Financings

We will continue to rely on debt or equity financing to fund business operations. However, we cannot provide any assurance that financing sufficient to fund our plan of operation will be forthcoming.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In Note 2 to the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, included in our Form 10-K, the Company discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Company believes that accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

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

 

Going Concern

Management has expressed an opinion as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern despite an accumulated deficit of $23,974,783 since inception and negative cash flows from operating activities as of March 31, 2021. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern requires that it procure funding from outside sources. Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes obtaining funding from the private placement of equity or debt financing, converting existing debt into equity, and otherwise settling outstanding amounts due through agreement with its creditors or elimination through statutory aging of debts. Management believes that it will remain a going concern through the methods discussed above pending closure with a business opportunity that will produce income, though there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

 

The likelihood that the Company can continue as a going concern has encountered additional urgency in response to the COVID-19 virus pandemic that continues to adversely affect workforces, economies, and financial markets around the world that will likely result in an economic downturn. The Company cannot predict the duration or magnitude of the virus, nor can it predict the which adverse effects, if any, will impact the Company’s plan of operation or its ability to sustain its business.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the acting chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2021. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We cannot predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results connected to COVID-19, nor can we predict the effect, if any, COVID-19 will have on our ability to sustain our business.
