2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a)      Basis of presentation

The Company is in the process of evaluating business opportunities and has minimal operating levels. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Arvana, Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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-K and Regulation S-K. Results are not necessarily indicative of results which may be achieved in the future.

 

b) Basis of consolidation Included in the financial statements are the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned inactive subsidiaries Arvana Networks, Arvana Par, and Arvana Com. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

c) 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. .

 

 

 

 

 

d) Foreign currency translation and transactions Transactions conducted in foreign currencies are recorded using the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. At the period end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the functional currency of each entity using the exchange rate in effect at the period end date. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in foreign exchange gain or loss in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

e)

 

 

e) Comprehensive income The Company considers comprehensive income (loss) as a change in equity (net assets) of a business entity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

 

f) Cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with terms to maturity of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents.

 

 

g) 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 December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 follows:

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

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

 

 

 

 

 

h) Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists of cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured 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 accounts.

 

 

i) 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.

 

j) Stock-based compensation The Company accounts for all stock-based payments to employees and non-employees under ASC 718 “Stock Compensation,” using the fair value based method. Under the fair value method, stock-based payments are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measurable. The cost of stock-based payments to non-employees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date.

 

k) Earnings (loss )per share Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options and warrants. There were no outstanding stock options or warrants as at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

l) Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB released ASU 2014-10 — Accounting Standards Update 2014-10, Income Taxes Topic 915: Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this update eliminated the concept of a development stage entity (DSE) from US GAAP. This change rescinds financial reporting requirements that have historically applied to DSEs such as labeling financial statements as those of a DSE, providing inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash-flows and shareholder equity and certain specific disclosures. This ASU has been early adopted by the Company as of April 1, 2014 and therefore for the year ended December 31, 2014. Early adoption is permitted for all financial statements that have not been issued or made available for issuance.
