2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The Company is in the process of transacting a business opportunity and has minimal operating levels. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying condensed interim financial statements of Arvana Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 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 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, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 16, 2018. 

Use of 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 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 follows: 

	September 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Cash	$	257	$	257	$	4,730	$	4,730
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		1,027,954		1,027,954		1,075,409		1,075,409
Convertible loan		50,000		50,000		50,000		50,000
Loans payable to stockholders		590,027		590,027		600,651		600,651
Loans payable to related party		130,321		130,321		131,000		131,000
Loans payable		85,525		85,525		75,813		75,813
Amounts due to related parties	$	499,338	$	499,338	$	549,132	$	549,132

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018 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 include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:

	September 30, 2018		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Cash	$	257	$	257	$	—	$	—

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

Recent accounting pronouncements

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

New and amended standards adopted by the Company

There were no new and amended standards adopted by the Company for the first time in this reporting period which had a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statement except the following:

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2016-18, requiring that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of- period total cash amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Consequently, transfers between cash and restricted cash is not presented as a separate line item in the operating, investing or financing sections of the cash flow statement. The amendments were effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company considers that ASU 2016-18 has had only a limited impact on the presentation of the statement of cash flows.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Company

Several new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after the closing date of this report and have not been applied in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The standard requires lessors to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A sales-type lease occurs if the lessor transfers all the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing lease. If the lessor does not convey risks and rewards or control, which results in an operating lease. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

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. The standard will become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2017-11, requiring certain changes to the presentation and disclosures of changes to liability or equity classification of financial instruments. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2018-07, requiring certain changes to nonemployee share-based payment accounting. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
