Basis of presentation

The Company is in the process of evaluating business opportunities and is a development stage company. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Arvana, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and for the cumulative amounts from the beginning of the development stage on January 1, 2010, through March 31, 2014, 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, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2014.

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 estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 follows:

	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
	Carrying Amount	Fair Value	Carrying Amount	Fair Value
Cash	$731	$731	$321	$321
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	1,057,588	1,057,588	1,056,941	1,056,941
Loans payable to stockholders Loans payable to related party	668,370 33,967	668,370 33,967	666,511 34,950	666,511 34,950
Loans payable Amounts due to related parties	144,046 483,794	144,046 483,794	144,402 493,534	144,402 493,534

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014, 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:

	March 31, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Cash	$	731	$	731	$	-	$	-

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