Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Arvana Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977, as "Turinco, Inc.", and on July 24, 2006, changed its name to Arvana Inc. to reflect the acquisition of a telecommunications business. We discontinued efforts related to our telecommunications business as of December 31, 2009. The Company acquired Down 2 Fish Charters, LLC on February 3, 2023 (D2F). D2F was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on April 1, 2019.
D2F operates a Florida based fishing charter business that offers a range of curated maritime adventures that include inshore, offshore, and custom charters for fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers and tourists. The business is operated from a private dock in Palmetto, Florida that services the Tampa Bay area in addition to St Petersburg, Sarasota, Venice, Port Charlotte, and Clearwater. D2F generates its revenue from the sale and provision of fishing charter services.
Basis of Presentation
The Company's fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, 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-K. The consolidated interim financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") on April 5, 2024. Results are not necessarily indicative of those which may be achieved in future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates include the recognition of deferred tax assets based on the change in unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences.
Financial Instruments
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such values:
Cash-the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable to stockholders, and amounts due to related parties-the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligations.

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies- (continued)
Stock Split
On February 21, 2023, stockholders approved a forward-split of the Company's common shares on a 3-1 basis. The forward-split was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State effective March 31, 2023, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rolled the stock forward on April 19, 2023. All changes in the capital structure have been given retroactive effect in these financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively, the Company did not have any cash in excess of the insured FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank account.
Income Taxes
A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all share-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 "Stock Compensation," which requires that the value of the award is established at the date of grant and is expensed over the vesting period of the grant. The method of determining the fair value of share-based payments depends on the type of award. Share-based awards that vest over a certain service period with no market conditions are valued at the closing market price on the grant date. Options grants are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton model using inputs that are determined on the date of the grant. Once the per-share fair value on the date of grant is established, the aggregate expense of the grant is recognized as earned over the vesting period of the grant. The cost of share-based payments to non employees, if fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date, is measured and recognized at that date.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants. The Company had 7,950,000outstanding stock options at September 30, 2024, and 7,950,000at September 30, 2023, which have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effects would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted by the Company
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, effective January 1, 2023, which adoption has not had a material effect on its financial statements.
Reclassifications
To conform with the current year presentation of depreciation expense the Company has reclassified depreciation of $5,851and $17,552from Cost of Sales included in the Operating Expenses section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations to its own line item for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Note 2 - Going Concern
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 the Company recognized a net loss of $376,974and $1,163,396, respectively. The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,223,403and an accumulated deficit of $37,933,915as of September 30, 2024. The Company has incurred significant losses since inception. While the Company commenced revenue generating activities in the first quarter of 2023, it will require funding from outside sources to implement its business development strategy. The Company has no firm commitments for additional funding. The aggregation of these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these consolidated financial statements are made available. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Failure to obtain the ongoing support of stockholders and creditors may indicate that the preparation of these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis is inappropriate, in which case our assets and liabilities would need to be recognized at their liquidation values. The Company's consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and liabilities that might arise from this uncertainty.

Note 3 - Asset Acquisition
On February 3, 2023 (Closing Date), the company acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Down 2 Fish Charters, LLC (D2F), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Florida, which operates a charter fishing business. On the Closing Date, the Company paid $50,000in cash and issued a note for $700,000for total consideration of $750,000. The Company's consolidated statements of operations from the Closing Date through December 31, 2023 indicate a net loss of $1,316,573.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the Closing Date under the acquisition method of accounting. The estimated fair values of certain assets and liabilities including long-lived assets require judgment and assumptions. Adjustments may be made to these estimates during the measurement period and those adjustments could be material.
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on their fair values as of the Closing Date, with the excess of cost over fair value of $771,009. For the period ended December 31, 2023 the Company recorded an impairment loss of $771,009on the excess amount. Assets acquired are as follows:

The Company did not incur any acquisition related costs during the period.
Property and equipment acquired consisted primarily of offshore support vessels. The Company recorded property and equipment acquired at an estimated fair value of $178,706. The fair values of the offshore support vessels were estimated by applying a replacement cost approach. These assets will be tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The Company estimates the remaining useful lives for the vessels acquired are seven years, based on an original estimated useful life of 10 years.
The charter fishing license acquired is a perpetual federal fishing license, which grants the Company access to fish in federally regulated waters off the coast of Florida. This asset is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually.

Arvana
Arvana was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 16, 1977, as "Turinco, Inc." to engage in any legal undertaking. On July 24, 2006, Arvana changed its name from Turinco, Inc. to Arvana Inc. on the acquisition of Arvana Networks, Inc., a telecommunications business. We discontinued efforts related to that business as of December 31, 2009. Arvana acquired Down 2 Fish Charters, LLC on February 3, 2023. Down2Fish was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on April 1, 2019.
Down2Fish operates a Florida based fishing charter business that offers a range of curated maritime adventures that include inshore, offshore, and custom charters for fishing enthusiasts, nature lovers and tourists. The business is operated from a private dock in Palmetto, Florida that services the Tampa Bay area in addition to St Petersburg, Sarasota, Venice, Port Charlotte, and Clearwater. Down2Fish generates its revenue from the sale and provision of fishing charter services.
Arvana acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of Down2Fish on February 3, 2023, from LCF Salons, LLC, in exchange for fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and a promissory note in the amount of seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000) payable twenty-four (24) months after the closing date that bears interest of seven and one quarter percent (7¼%) per annum. Interest on the promissory note is payable on an annual basis.
Stockholders approved a forward stock split of Arvana's common shares on a 3-for-1 basis that was effected on April 19, 2023, to stockholders of record on March 31, 2023. All changes in the capital structure have been given retroactive effect in this periodic report.
Arvana's office is located at 299 Main Street, 13th Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 and our telephone number is (702) 899-1072.

AA Registered Agents-located at 4869 Nightwood Court, Las Vegas, Nevada 89149-is our registered agent in the State of Nevada.
Arvana is traded on the OTC Markets Group, Inc.'s Pink Sheets Current Information market platform under the symbol "AVNI."
While Arvana operates its fishing charter business it has continued to seek business opportunities in real estate development. On December 12, 2023, Arvana announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire a Nevada-based company which is intent on expanding its specialty use concept to acquire and repurpose vacant shopping malls, outlet locations, and big box stores to attract new tenants from targeted industries that offer goods or services that are not available online. The parties have ended their discussions of the proposed transaction, and management is evaluating alternative options for pursuing this business model.
Plan of Operation
Our plan of operation is to support the development of our business, and to build on its existing business model. We believe that an expansion of marketing efforts around Tampa Bay, to offer a wider range of services, such as dolphin tours, will help establish the Down2Fish brand, attract more customers and increase revenues. Expansion into new service offerings will however require capital sufficient to finance the purchase of another vessel and additional boating equipment. We believe that dolphin tours can return net revenue on a consistent basis if we are able to attract sufficient customers to each excursion. We are currently licensed and equipped to carry no more than six (6) customers on each fishing charter. A vessel designed primarily for dolphin tours can carry from fifty (50) to one hundred (100) customers. Our primary impediment for equipment procurement and installation is cost. We are presently considering financing options that might become available to us in the near term but have no assurance that financing options will become available or that if such did become available, that the financing terms would be tenable for our business. Unless or until we can offer excursions that cater to a greater number of customers on each excursion, we will continue to focus on offering more fishing charter excursions to build revenue and improve our results of operations.
Results of Operations
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 Arvana raised capital to sustain operations, maintained its charter fishing business, and evaluated other business opportunities.
Our results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, were as follows below:
| Three months ended September 30 | Nine months ended June 30 | |||||||||||||||

Revenue
Charter revenue from operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 is $6,134 as compared to $10,580 for the comparable three-month period ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 42.0%, and as compared to $13,830 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. Charter revenue from operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 is $19,964 as compared to $23,634 for the comparable nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 15.5%, and as compared to $13,830 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. Revenue is comprised of fishing charter services.
We expect charter revenue to taper off in the fourth quarter of 2024 as the fishing season comes to an end.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 are $101,770 as compared to $127,713 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 20.3%, and as compared to $152,239 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of 33.2%. Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 are $379,048 as compared to $405,267 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 6.5%. The changes in operating expenses over the comparative periods are attributed to reductions in general and administrative expenses including share- based compensation, executive payroll, and auditing expenses.
We expect operating expenses to increase in future periods as our business development strategies are implemented while auditing and accounting professional fees are expected to increase over the next year.
Other Expense
Other expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 is $6,078 as compared to other expense of $4,522 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, and as compared to other expense of $7,414 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. Other expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 is $17,890 as compared to other expense of $781,763 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in other expense over the comparative periods can be primarily attributed to the loss recognized with the acquisition of Down2Fish and interest expense offset by lease income realized in the current period.
We expect to continue to recognize other expense in future periods as debt instruments tied to the fishing charter vessels continue to incur interest and depreciation of our vessels continues.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 is $101,714 compared to net loss of $120,727 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 15.7%. Net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 is $376,974 compared to net loss of $1,163,396 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of 67.6%. The change in net loss over the comparative periods can be primarily attributed to a decrease in losses from operating expenses and the loss recognized on the asset purchase of Down2Fish, offset by the realization of revenue from charter boat services and other income that is generated through a lease of the charter vessels.
We expect to continue to realize net losses from operations over the next twelve months as management works to implement its business model.
| 18 |
Capital Expenditures
We expended no amounts on capital expenditures during the three-month or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception we have experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders' equity (deficit).
We had current assets of $9,357 as of September 30, 2024 consisting of cash and a bond as compared to current assets of $16,386 as of September 30, 2023 consisting of cash and a bond, and as compared to current assets of $27,171 as of December 31, 2023 consisting of cash and a bond. Total assets were $178,600 as of September 30, 2024 consisting of current assets, property, equipment, and intangible assets as compared to total assets of $209,283 as of September 30, 2023 consisting of current assets, property, equipment, and intangible assets, and as compared to $216,549 as of December 31, 2023 consisting of current assets, property, equipment, and intangible assets.
We had current liabilities of $1,232,760 as of September 30, 2024 consisting of accounts payable, related- party payables, and the current portion of long-term debt as compared to current liabilities of $201,136 as of September 30, 2023 consisting of accounts payable, related-party payables, and the current portion of long-term debt, and as compared to current liabilities of $338,487 as of December 31, 2023 consisting of accounts payable, related-party payables, and the current portion of long-term debt. Total liabilities were $1,366,988 as of September 30, 2024 consisting of current liabilities and notes payable net of current portion as compared to total liabilities of $1,080,720 as of September 30, 2023 consisting of current liabilities and notes payable net of current portion, and as compared to total liabilities of $1,178,675 as of December 31, 2023 consisting of current liabilities and notes payable net of current portion. The increase in current liabilities in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 is attributed to the transition of long-term debt due in connection with the acquisition of Down2Fish to current liabilities from the year ended December 31, 2023 in which it was classified as a long-term liability.
We had a working capital deficit of $1,223,403 as of September 30, 2024 as compared to a working capital deficit of $184,750 as of September 30, 2023, and as compared to a working capital deficit of $311,316 as of December 31, 2023. The increase in these deficits is primarily attributed to the transition of long-term debt due in connection with the acquisition of Down2Fish to current liabilities from the year ended December 31, 2023 in which it was classified as a long-term liability.
Net stockholders' deficit in Arvana is $1,188,052 as of September 30, 2024 as compared to a net stockholders' deficit of $871,437 as of September 30, 2023, and as compared to a net stockholders' deficit of $962,126 as of December 31, 2023.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 is $3,439 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $148,773 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities can be attributed to book expense items that do not affect the total amount relative to actual cash used such as depreciation expense, share-based compensation, and loss on asset purchase. Balance sheet accounts that affect cash but are not income statement related items that are added or deducted to arrive at net cash used in operating activities include current assets, accounts payable, and related-party payables.
| 19 |
We expect to continue to have net cash flow used in operating activities over the next twelve months or until such time as Arvana generates sufficient revenue from operations to sustain the costs of operations.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 is $0 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $51,654 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.
We expect to use net cash in investing activities in the near term as investment will be required of us in connection with the expansion our fishing charter business.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 is $16,253 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $61,348 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. Net cash used in financing activities in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 is attributed to payments on loans payable. Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine- month period ended September 30, 2023 is attributed to the proceeds of loans payable offset by payments on loans payable.
We expect to continue to use net cash provided by financing activities over the next twelve months generated through additional private equity placements, public offerings, or private debt to fund continued expansion of our business.
Arvana's assets are insufficient as of September 30, 2024 to implement its plan of operation to expand its business operations. We anticipate conducting another private equity offering to meet our objectives and may seek additional loans in the short term to sustain operations. Management is confident that its efforts to realize additional funding will be successful.
Arvana does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Arvana had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of September 30, 2024.
Arvana had no commitments for future capital expenditures at September 30, 2024.
Arvana has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
Arvana has adopted the Arvana Inc. 2022 Stock Incentive Plan and had an employment agreement with its executive officer whose employment was terminated effective July 17, 2024. The former executive officer did not exercise his vested options within the required 30-day period resulting in the forfeiture of the options. Two members of the Board of Directors were removed effective July 17, 2024. Neither of these members exercised their options within the 30-day period resulting in the forfeiture of their vested options.
Arvana has no current plans to make any additional changes in the number of employees.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as "special purpose entities."

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses in the reporting period. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. We continually review the estimates and underlying assumptions to ensure they are appropriate for the circumstances. Accounting assumptions and estimates are inherently uncertain and actual results may differ materially from our estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies is provided in Note 1 to the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 which are included in our most recent Form 10-K. In the notes we discuss accounting policies that are significant in determining the Company's results of operations and financial position.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report an evaluation was carried out by Arvana's management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the acting chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of Arvana'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 September 30, 2024. 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, Arvana's management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Arvana'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 September 30, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Arvana's internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. CYBERSECURITY
Limited Risk Management Strategy for Handling Sensitive Data
Arvana is committed to the integrity and security of the sensitive data that it collects, maintains, and transmits across its computer systems. Over the ordinary course of our business, Arvana and its third party service providers (such as charter booking services) collect, maintain, and transmit sensitive data including proprietary or confidential business information (such as operational data and personal information). The secure maintenance of this information is critical to our business and reputation.
Despite our efforts to implement robust security measures in reliance on administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, our risk management strategies and practices for protecting sensitive data are subject to certain limitations. A variety of factors give rise to these limitations including the evolving nature of cyber threats, resource constraints, and the inherent risks associated with the technologies we and third party service providers employ. Arvana relies on third parties including cloud vendors and consultants for various business functions. Many of our third-party service providers have access to our information systems and data, and we rely on such third parties for the operation of our business. We oversee third party service providers by conducting vendor diligence. Vendors are generally assessed for risk based on the nature of their service, access to data, and systems and supply chain risk.
Arvana's current risk management strategy may not fully account for or mitigate the risks posed by emerging technologies or the potential impact of these limitations on our business. Financial liabilities, damage to our reputation, and erosion of customer trust could negatively affect our business operations and financial condition.
We have adopted a cybersecurity governance structure to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats that include a framework to respond to and assess internal and external threats to the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Arvana's data and information systems. Under which framework management is responsible for assessing and managing material risks that arise from cybersecurity threats. We have not engaged third-party qualified contractors or claim any management expertise from which to draw in the event of cybersecurity threats.
Governance of Cybersecurity Issues
When identified by management cybersecurity threats are to be immediately reported to Arvana's Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has primary responsibility for oversight of cybersecurity threats once a cybersecurity threat has been reported to it by management. Matters to be considered by the Audit Committee include management risks relating to data privacy, technology, and information security. The Audit Committee must also consider Arvana's cyber security measures and the back-up of information systems, along with what steps Arvana has taken to monitor and control cyber security exposure. Further, the Audit Committee is tasked with the responsibility for conferring with management and Arvana's auditors as to the adequacy and effectiveness of information safeguards, cybersecurity policies, and internal controls that impact information security. The Audit Committee will be briefed on any material cybersecurity incidents that might adversely affect our business at least once each year, and such brief will include topics such as risk assessment, risk management, control decisions, service provider arrangements, the occurrence of security incidents, and the responses to security incidents with recommendations for changes or updates to policies and procedures.
| 22 |
While Arvana has not experienced cybersecurity incidents in the past, it cannot guarantee that our cybersecurity safeguards will prevent breaches or breakdowns of our third-party service providers' information technology systems, particularly in the face of continually evolving cybersecurity threats and increasingly sophisticated threat actors.
A cybersecurity incident could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and reputation, in addition to potentially subjecting us to government investigations, litigation, fines, or other damages.
