Nature of Business and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The
Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977, as “Turinco, Inc.”, and on July 24, 2006, changed its name
to Arvana Inc. to reflect the acquisition of a telecommunications business. We discontinued efforts related to our telecommunications
business as of December 31, 2009. The Company is presently focused on evaluating business opportunities for merger or acquisition sufficient
to support operations and increase stockholder value.
We
entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding on March 17, 2016, with the intent of acquiring a fresh food manufacturer and
distributor. On November 11, 2020, we notified the acquisition target that the Company was no longer interested in pursuing the acquisition
of its business given the delays attendant to the prospective transaction.
On
May 21, 2021, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet with the intention of acquiring a multi-media platform and prospectively
other businesses. The term sheet required that the owner of the acquisition target first secure voting control of the Company as pre-condition
to his facilitating a transaction. The owner effectively secured voting control on June 30, 2021. On October 26, 2021, the Company entered
into a recission agreement and mutual release with the owner of the intended acquisition due to being unable to agree on the structure
of the prospective transaction.
These
condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the settlement
of liabilities in the normal course of business.
For
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a net loss and realized a working capital deficiency, which deficiency
raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to require financial support from
stockholders and creditors until able to generate its own cash flow from operations.
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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
Basis of presentation
The
Company is in the process of evaluating business opportunities and has minimal operating expenses. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
The accompanying condensed interim financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 (“Commission”) 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

c) Financial
instruments (continued)
The
following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 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:

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.

Convertible Loans
On
May 18, 2016, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to CaiE that accrued 10%

initially due on November 17, 2017. The note was 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 remained unchanged. The Company and CaiE agreed to a debt settlement agreement to
extinguish these loans and accrued interest by the issuance of common shares. During the three and nine months ended September 30,

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 remained unchanged. The Company and CaiE agreed to a debt settlement agreement to
extinguish these loans and accrued interest by the issuance of common shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and
