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. On July 24, 2006, the Company changed its name to Arvana Inc. to reflect the acquisition of a telecommunications business. The Company discontinued its telecommunications operations as of December 31, 2009.

 

On February 3, 2023, the Company acquired Down 2 Fish Charters, LLC, which was organized in the State of Florida on April 1, 2019. Down2Fish operates a Florida based fishing charter business offering a range of curated maritime adventures including 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 as well as the lease of Down2Fish’s marine equipment.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These interim consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 5, 2024. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year or any other future periods.

 

The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2024 and for the related periods are presented.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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 and measurement of deferred tax assets and the evaluation of unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, a government-issued bond, accounts payable, notes payable to related parties, other amounts due to related parties, and notes payable to financial institutions. The carrying amounts of cash, the government-issued bond, accounts payable, and other amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

 

Notes payable to related parties and financial institutions consist of both short-term and long-term borrowings. The fair value of these notes payable approximates their carrying amounts because the interest rates approximate current market rates or because these instruments are carried at amounts reflecting current borrowing terms.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains cash deposits at financial institutions in accounts that may at times exceed federally insured limits. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any cash balances in excess of insured FDIC limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks.

 

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 judgment 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 measured using enacted tax rates in effect during the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

Stock Split

 

On February 21, 2023, the Company’s stockholders approved a 3-for-1 forward stock split of the common shares. The stock split was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State effective March 31, 2023, and was reflected in the market through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on April 19, 2023. All references in these financial statements to common stock, share counts, and per-share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for all share-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires that the value of the award be established at the date of grant and then 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. Stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

 

For share-based awards which are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date, the cost is measured and recognized at that date.

 

For share-based awards vesting over a certain service period with no market conditions, the cost is valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on inputs determined for the grant date. Once the per-share fair value on the grant date is established, the award is expensed over a weighted-average service period for the entire award using the straight-line method (also referred to as the single-award method).

 

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, the Company has elected to account for forfeitures of options when such forfeitures occur rather than estimating forfeitures at the grant date. Therefore, the Company records stock-based compensation expense assuming all option holders will complete the requisite service period for the options to fully vest, and then an adjustment is recorded in the period during which forfeitures occur. Compensation cost is not reversed for stock options that have vested prior to forfeiture.

 

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 6,150,000 outstanding stock options at September 30, 2024 and 7,950,000 at September 30, 2023, which have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effects would be anti-dilutive due to net losses in both periods.

 

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. 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 on the statement of operations, the Company made the following reclassifications for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023:

 

Lease Revenue: $12,000 and $32,000 were reclassified from other income and expenses to revenue.
Cost of Services: $14,973 and $23,384 were reclassified from cost of sales, as previously included in operating expenses, to cost of services and included in gross profit.

 

These reclassifications had no impact on net loss, total assets, or total liabilities for the period presented.
