PART I.

 

Item 1. Business.

 

 

Overview

 

PostAds, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on August 17, 2015 in the State of Nevada as a reorganization of a sole proprietor business with an inception date of August 26, 2013. The business was formed to provide an online platform at www.PostAds.com that offers an alternative marketplace for buyers and sellers of both new and pre-owned goods and service items (including jobs) together in an online market place that offers both retailers and service providers a forum to advertise and promote their goods and services while providing consumers a cost-effective way of locating and purchasing goods and services.

 

We are in the development stage since we have not commenced planned principal operations. Our activities since inception include devoting substantially all of our efforts to business planning and development. Additionally, we have allocated a substantial portion of our time and investment to the completion of our development activities to launch our marketing plan and generate revenues and to raising capital. We have generated minimal revenue from operations. The Company’s activities during the development stage are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

 

Our principal executive office is located at 2332 NW 87th Drive, Coral Springs, Florida 33065 and our telephone number is 954-464-1642. Our website is located at www.PostAds.com.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, we use the terms “PostAds,” “PostAds MarketPlace,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” on Form 10-K to refer to PostAds, Inc.

 

Operations

 

We operate an online marketplace at www.PostAds.com which provides a platform for buyers and sellers to purchase new and used goods and services. Because we offer an internet site where buyers are charged no fees and sellers of products and services can list their products and services without charge in all categories other than employment and personal ads, we expect to generate a large number of registered users who place product and service ads. After the inventories of product and service ads are generated, we expect to generate revenue from premium placement, ad enhancements and advertisements on our website directed at visitors to our site. We also plan to generate revenue from two paid ad categories, employment and personals. There is no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

We completed our initial website in August of 2015 and completed enhanced features of our site in April of 2016. Since our inception, we have placed over 24,600 free ads and obtained 6,922 registered users of the Post Ads marketplace.

 

We plan to convert our registered users into paying users by offering enhanced listings to increase the visibility of the ad. Because we offer free ads in all categories other than employment and personal, we expect our registered user base and product and service offerings to continually increase over time.

 

Our key activities to date include: (i) development of the business plan and plan of operations for the Post Ads Marketplace; (ii) development of the retail and fee-for-service features of the Post Ads Marketplace (iii) development of the auction platform of the Post Ads Marketplace; (iv) creation of our classified ad categories and features for the Post Ads Marketplace; (v) entering into an agreement with our website developer; (vi) creating features allowing visitors to become registered users of our online marketplace (vii) setting up our initial website to generate registered users, (viii) obtaining 6,922 registered users, (ix) placing more than 24,600 ads without charge and screening the ads prior to placement to ensure compliance with our terms of service, and (x) completing our website and enhancing its features including functionality and security features.

 

We plan to attempt to raise additional equity financing and procure loans to fund our future operations though there is no assurance we will succeed. We have not generated meaningful revenues from our business operations and are dependent on our ability to raise capital. If we are unable to raise all the capital we are seeking we may have to reduce our planned expenditures to a level where we can continue to operate until we obtain necessary financing. If we cannot obtain such financing and do not generate sufficient revenue to fund our operations, we may have to curtail or cease operations.

 

The PostAds Marketplace

 

Our marketplace is structured so that we offer sellers free listings in all categories other than employment and personal ads so that we can continuously increase our registered users. As the number of visitors for free product and service listings grows, the PostAds marketplace will become an attractive platform for sellers and other businesses seeking to purchase listing enhancements and advertising for their products and services. For sellers of goods and services, our goal is to provide the most effective and economical posting of ads on the internet. Sellers can post classified ads for free for products and services. All users of the site can view all posted ads without charge. Because we are an internet based business, our success depends upon attracting visitors to our site. To date, we have placed over 24,600 ads without charge on the PostAds Marketplace. This resulted in 6,922 registered non-paying users.

 

 4 

 

 

Because the product and service ads are free, we expect to generate a large inventory of ads. After the inventories of ads are generated, we expect to be able to sell premium placement, ad enhancements and advertisements on our site to non-paying and paying sellers of goods and services.

 

PostAds is striving to differentiate itself from its competitors by its simplicity, while offering customers value, selection and convenience in order to gain their trust and continued business. The PostAds Marketplace facilitates buying and selling used goods while reducing the time our customers need to devote to a transaction.

 

To buy and sell on our marketplace, visitors must open an online account by completing a one (1) page fill in the blank form that includes the user’s name, street address, email and whether the account is for personal or business use.

 

Marketing Strategy and Plan

 

We began executing our initial marketing strategy and plan during the period from April 2016 through July of 2016. It involved email marketing and print materials targeting retail store front owners in April of 2016, initial email marketing and print materials targeting service providers for our fee-for-service store fronts in May of 2016, converting our registered members to paying users by sending monthly newsletters with updates and company information in July of 2016 and social media postings using Facebook in July of 2016.

 

In November of 2016, we planned to establish Google AdWords and search engine optimization campaigns to drive traffic to our website and to develop email marketing and print materials to attract potential advertisers to our website. We now plan to establish Google AdWords and develop email marketing and print materials in the second half of 2020.

 

Executing our initial marketing strategy and plan was dependent upon raising sufficient capital through the placement of our common stock or issuance of debt securities. On September 22, 2015, the Company prepared an offering to raise capital in the amount of $200,000 by offering up to 4,000,000 shares of its common stock at $.05 per share, from which we sold 2,978,400 shares of common stock to nineteen (19) persons at the price of $.05 per share for aggregate proceeds of approximately $148,920. With the limited capital raised in the above offering we were able to execute our initial marketing strategy and plan, but management decided to postpone the continuation and initiation of the above programs until additional capital can be raised from the sale of our securities or financing can be secured. We anticipate having the ability to continue executing our marketing strategy and plan during the second half of 2020. The dates and details of our planned marketing activity and our milestones and enhancements completed to date are presented in detail in the Marketing section below.

 

Online Classified Industry

 

There is an estimated market of $381 billion worth of used but untouched goods in U.S. homes. Classified advertising has evolved to a whole new domain. They are few newspaper specific advertisements. The operating model of today’s classifieds platforms allow advertisements to be listed and can be accessed by everyone in just a few clicks.

 

Craigslist is the most profitable classified website in the world. With around 55 million monthly visitors Craigslist is the leader of the digital classifieds market. Craigslist and eBay are the two dominant players. Other online classified companies include Whatsapp, Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and Quora with LetGo being one of the recent startups. Craigslist doesn’t market itself, doesn’t believe in changing the business model according to the business environment and is still leading the industry just because of its simple and selectively free interface and a huge network which it built in 2 decades.

 

Competitors like OfferUp and LetGo have plans and strategies to leave Craigslist behind. In 2016, OfferUp raised $130 million dollars in funding, bringing the company’s total funding to more than $221 million with a valuation of 1.2 billion. LetGo raised $175 million around 15 months after New York-based LetGo merged with Spanish rival Wallapop in a bid for more scale, amid yet another $100 million round. LetGo’s large rounds of funding made in quick succession are collectively a sign of how competitive its area is at the moment.

 

A mature online classified business can easily generate somewhere close to $500M in profits per year, which leaves huge revenue potential for remaining online classified businesses.

 

PostAds Core Team and Focus to Date

 

As PostAds builds a profitable business, management’s top priority will always be ensuring our customers convenience and security. In order to become successful, we are focusing on simplicity and empowering users of our products and services.

 

With limited funds available, our Chief Executive Officer, Kenneth T. Moore, our Chief Financial Officer, Colm J. King, and our website and software developer decided to adopt a ‘network first, profit later’ strategy. As an online-only business operating a classifieds business, talent and technology are required. Our core team is made up of individuals that bring the following talents and experience to PostAds, technology research and development, software design and modification, managerial, finance and SEC reporting and compliance.

Survival in the technology industry requires constant innovation and the majority of listings are facilitated by software, showing the value of automating posting. The foundation of our product and services development is based on continuous innovation in creating and improving the products and services we offer.

 

From October 1, 2016, through December 31, 2019, our core team has devoted their time and effort to accomplishing the following overview of the developments, security, enhancements and compliance matters by quarter that have postured PostAds to raise the necessary capital for the successful execution of its marketing strategy and plan and become a competitive online classified Company:

  Auction Listings   Classified Ads

 

Upon receiving a request for an ad, paid or unpaid, it is reviewed by us to ensure the ad complies with our terms of services which prohibits ad placements that are unlawful, obscene, harassing or threatening.

 

Retail & Fee-For-Service Store Fronts

 

Our marketplace offers sellers of new and used goods and service providers the ability to create a unique user-friendly internet storefront without the hassle and time required to manage their own website.

 

For services providers, our dashboard allows them to use a storefront to offer their service by category and by postal code. Service providers can personalize their listing by their type of service, service areas, availability, and Service provider rates.

 

Our Retail and Fee-For-Service Store fronts offering the following features:

 

  A unique URL path that allows the seller to advertise in emails, on websites, etc. and drive traffic to their own store front.

  Ability to create newsletters where visitors are able to subscribe directly from the store front.

Auctions

 

We believe a key advantages of our auction service over other services is that we offer auction ads without charge and we do not impose a final fee for auctioned items. We offer sellers using our auction feature, the ability to purchase premium placement, ad enhancements and advertisements of their items. Our marketplace provides sellers with three types of auctions:

 

  Standard Auction. In standard actions, users bid against each other for individual or group items. Whatever is described within the details of the auction is what’s up for bid. At the end of the auction the highest bidder wins the item being auctioned.
  Buy Now Action. In a Buy Now Action, a listing is placed. Within that listing there is be a Buy Now link that allows the Buyer to purchase the item for a set price established by the Seller.
  Dutch Auction. In a Dutch Auction, Sellers list multiple items for sale and each bidder can win one or more of the total items listed with conditions designated by the Seller.

 

The auction feature is designed to generate revenue by charging users for enhancements to their listing such as featured item, top of listing, and banner ads etc.

We believe the PostAds Marketplace offers benefits not found with other on line shopping platforms particularly for smaller buyers and sellers of inexpensive items because we plan to offer the primary features found on other auction sites like Ebay without the fees that they charge. We provide different platforms to buyers and sellers including auctions, storefronts and classified ads. We do not charge fees to buyers and we offer basic listings without charge to the Seller in all categories other than classified ads for employment and personals. Ebay in most instances charges an item insertion fee as well as a final value fee (percentage of sale price) making it costly for smaller sellers to list their items for sale. This fee in turn increases the price paid by small buyers. By not charging these fees and offering ad enhancements that are optional, we may be able to attract smaller sellers and buyers that are unwilling to pay the fees charged by Ebay. Craigslist provides classified ads but it does not offer an auction platform nor on their classifieds do they offer a user storefronts or listing enhancements. Similarly, Ebay does not offer classifieds. We are not aware of any marketplaces offering the combination of platforms that we offer. We also believe that by offering store fronts, classifieds and auctions, we are able to migrate other online marketplace users to our website.

 

Marketing

 

To date, our Company has grown organically by word of mouth supported by internal efforts to stimulate awareness and interest. During the second half of 2016, we invested minimally in marketing our products and services to build our brand and grow our user base. In addition, we also plan to attract visitors by developing our “PostAds Marketplace” brand name and “No Fees for Buyers” slogan to attract visitors to our PostAds Marketplace.

 

Our initial marketing strategy involves converting our registered members to paying users. We plan to accomplish this by sending monthly newsletters with updates and company information. We started this for a brief period in July of 2016 and plan to begin sending newsletters with updates during the second half of 2020.

 

We plan to also conduct the following marketing activity:

 

  We completed our initial email marketing and print materials targeting retail store front owners in April of 2016, and plan to deliver these materials in the second half of 2020 and use this as an ongoing method of marketing.
     
  We started social media postings using Facebook in July of 2016. We plan to launch social media campaigns on Twitter, Facebook, Linked-in and other websites to create recognition of our marketplace and drive traffic to our website beginning in the second half of 2020 and use this as an ongoing form of marketing.
     
  We completed our initial email marketing and print materials targeting service providers for our fee-for-service store fronts in May of 2016, and plan to deliver these materials in the second half of 2020 and use this as an ongoing form of marketing.
     
  In the second half of 2020 we plan to establish Google AdWords and search engine optimization campaigns to drive traffic to our website.
     
  In the second half of 2020, we plan to develop email marketing and print materials to attract potential advertisers to our website.

 

We believe that a marketing mix of email and social media campaigns and internet advertising is an optimal strategy to increase revenues.

Employees

 

We have a total of one (1) full time employee consisting of our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Kenneth T. Moore and one (1) part-time employee consisting of our Chief Financial Officer, Colm J. King. We use the services of outside consultants on an as needed basis.

 

None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced any work stoppages. We believe that we maintain good relationships with our employees.

 

Property

 

On July 15, 2018, the Company terminated its month to month lease agreement for our corporate office space in order to locate more suitable office space and is temporarily conducting business from the home office of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

Dependence on a Few Customers

 

We are not dependent on one or a few customers.

 

Raw Materials

 

We do not use raw materials in our products.

 

Research and Development

 

All of our research to date has been done by Kenneth T. Moore, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director who is in charge of our day to day operations. We have not spent any amounts on research and development since our inception on August 26, 2013.

 

Competition

 

We believe the PostAds Marketplace offers benefits not found with other auction services particularly for smaller buyers and sellers of inexpensive items because we plan to offer the primary features found on other auction sites like Ebay without the fees that they charge. We provide basic auction listings without charge to the Seller. We also offer multiple seller platforms including store fronts, classifieds and auctions. Ebay in most instances charges an item insertion fee as well as a final value fee (percentage of sale price) making it costly for smaller sellers to list their items for sale. This fee in turn increases the price paid by small buyers. By not charging these fees and offering ad enhancements that are optional, we may be able to attract smaller sellers and buyers that are unwilling to pay the fees charged by Ebay. Craigslist does not offer an auction platform nor on their classifieds do they offer a user storefronts or listing enhancements. Similarly, Ebay does not offer classifieds. We are not aware of any marketplaces offering the combination of platforms that we offer. We also believe that by offering store fronts, classifieds and auctions, we will be able to migrate other online marketplace users to our website.

 

The online product and service marketplace is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and outside our control, including the performance and reliability of our marketplace, customer service, marketing efforts and development of our brand name and slogan. Due to the relatively low barriers to entry we expect additional competition from other emerging companies. Many of our existing and potential competitors are substantially larger than us and have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies for our products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressure will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, our financial statements and related notes, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the other information in this Form 10-K. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected. As a result, the price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

 

 13 

 

 

Our ability to successfully operate our business and achieve our goals and strategies is subject to numerous risks including:

 

  Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, shareholders must rely on our two officers; Kenneth T. Moore, our Chief Executive Officer and President and Colm J. King, our Chief Financial Officer, who are not independent, to perform these functions.
     
  Our Chief Executive Officer and director, Kenneth T. Moore has voting control over all matters submitted to a vote of our common stockholders because of his ownership as of March 29, 2019 of 25,000,000 common shares and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that provide him with an aggregate of 100,000,000 votes, he holds 125,000,000 out of 140,036,400 votes representing 89.2% of the votes on all matters submitted to our stockholders, which prevents our minority shareholders from having the ability to control any of our corporate actions.
     
  There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our limited operating history and financial resources, and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.
     
  We are an early stage company with no historical performance for you to base an investment decision upon.
     
  We are dependent upon the sale of our securities to fund our operations.
     
  If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues for our operating expenses we will need financing, which we may be unable to obtain.
     
  We are dependent on our ability to convert free users of the PostAds Marketplace into paying customers.
     
  Expenses required to operate as a public company will reduce funds available to develop our business.
     
  Third parties can develop the same website portal we have which may negatively affect our revenues.
     
  If we fail to develop our brand cost-effectively, our business may be adversely affected.
     
  Our obligations as an SEC reporting company may require significant management time which will reduce the amount of time our sole officer and director can dedicate to our operations.
     
  The offering price of the common shares being registered on behalf of the Selling Stockholders has been arbitrarily determined by us and bears no relationship to any criteria of value.
     
  Our common stock is not currently quoted or listed and may never be quoted or listed by the OTC Markets or any other listing or quotation service and if listed, no market may ever develop for our common stock, or if developed, may not be sustained in the future.

 

 14 

 

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. We shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of:

 

  The last day of our fiscal year during which we have had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five (5) years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;
     
  The last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective IPO registration statement;
     
  The date on which we have, during the previous three (3) year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
     
  The date on which we are deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer’, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.

 

As an emerging growth company we are exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures. Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment and the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.

 

As an emerging growth company we are also exempt from Section 14A (a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which requires the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes. These exemptions are also available to us as a Smaller Reporting Company.

 

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our limited operating history and financial resources, and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 we incurred net losses of $152,163 and $173,766, respectively. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion that we may be unable to continue as a going concern. Our limited operating history and financial resources raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our financial statements contain a going concern risk disclosure. Our financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.

 

We are an early stage company with no historical performance for you to base an investment decision upon, and we may never become profitable.

 

We are an early stage company and as of the date of this filing, we have generated minimal revenue from operations. We have generated minimal revenue from operations since our inception. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 we incurred net losses of $152,163 and $173,766, respectively.

 

Accordingly, we have a limited operating history upon which you may evaluate our prospects for achieving our business objectives in light of the risks, difficulties and uncertainties frequently encountered by early stage companies such as us. Accordingly, before investing in our common stock, you should consider the challenges, expenses and difficulties that we will face as an early stage company with a limited operating history.

 

We will require additional financing before we begin generating revenues and we may be unable to obtain such financing which would cause you to lose your investment in our common shares.

 

We have generated minimal revenue since inception. We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan because we have not generated revenues from our operations. We do not have any arrangements for outside financing and we may be unable to locate financing on favorable terms or at all. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 we incurred net losses of $152,163 and $173,766, respectively. Because we lack historical financial data, including revenue data, our future revenues are unpredictable.

 

 15 

 

 

We will require approximately $10,000 per month or $120,000 over the next twelve (12) months to meet our operational costs, which consist of rent, advertising, salaries and other general, administrative expenses and costs of compliance with SEC reporting obligations. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we had no cash on hand which is insufficient to pay for our operating costs for one (1) month. If we do not receive additional financing, we will be unable to implement our business plan which would prevent us from generating revenues and cause you to lose your investment in our common stock.

 

We plan to attempt to raise additional equity financing and procure loans to fund our future operations though there is no assurance we will succeed. We have not generated meaningful revenues from our business operations and are dependent on our ability to raise capital. If we are unable to raise all the capital we are seeking we may have to reduce our planned expenditures to a level where we can continue to operate until we obtain necessary financing. If we cannot obtain such financing and do not generate sufficient revenue to fund our operations, we may have to curtail or cease operations.

 

Expenses required to operate as a public company will reduce funds available to us and could negatively affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

 

Operating as a public company is more expensive than operating as a private company. As a public company we will require additional funds to obtain outside assistance from legal, accounting, investor relations, and other professionals that could be more costly than planned. We may also be required to hire additional staff to comply with additional SEC reporting requirements. We anticipate that the cost of SEC reporting will be approximately $5,000 monthly or $60,000 annually. Our failure to comply with reporting requirements and other provisions of securities laws could negatively affect our stock price and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. If we fail to meet these requirements, we will be unable to secure a qualification for quotation of our securities on the OTC Markets OTCQB, or, if we have secured a qualification, we may lose the qualification and our securities would no longer trade on OTC Markets OTCQB. Further, if we fail to meet these obligations and consequently fail to satisfy our SEC reporting obligations, investors will then own stock in a company that does not provide the disclosure available in quarterly, annual reports and other required SEC reports that would be otherwise publicly available leading to increased difficulty in selling their stock due to our becoming a non-reporting issuer.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

If we are unable to establish strong brand recognition of the PostAds online platform with online buyers and sellers of goods and services, we will not be able to generate revenues.

 

The online goods and services marketplaces are driven by brand name recognition and reputation. We must use conventional and unconventional marketing strategies to build brand recognition of our PostAds online marketplace. Brand recognition will establish a position in the online goods and services marketplace market and if successful, will help us generate revenues. If we do not establish our brand name, we will not be able to generate revenues and our business would fail.

 

Our success depends on our ability to convert the free users of the PostAds Marketplace into paying customers.

 

We offer free ads to sellers of goods and services in all categories other than employment and persona ads to promote usage, brand awareness and registered users of our website. Some sellers placing free ads never convert to paid customers. To the extent that free users do not convert to paying customers, we will not realize any benefit from this aspect of our business strategy, and our ability to generate meaningful revenue could be harmed.

 

If buyers and sellers of online goods and services do not accept our platform, it could cause you to lose your investment.

 

We are dependent upon the success of our online marketplace. Should online buyers and sellers of goods and services not be responsive to our marketplace, we will be unable to generate sufficient revenues to become profitable. There are numerous online platforms offering goods and services online and new platforms are frequently introduced. Only a relatively small number account for a significant portion of net revenue in the online goods and services industry. Our platform may not be desired by consumers, or competitors may develop online marketplaces that imitate or compete with us, and take our targeted revenue stream away from us or reduce our ability to generate revenues. If our competitors develop more successful platforms, our future revenues will be negatively impacted.

 

Our business is subject to extensive government regulation and oversight which could have a negative impact on our financial condition.

 

We are subject to laws and regulations affecting our operations in a number of areas, including data privacy requirements, prohibited items and stolen goods, tax, advertising, auctions of goods, digital content, real estate, billing, ecommerce, promotions, quality of services, as well as laws and regulations intended to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities.

 

 16 

 

 

Additionally, it is not always clear how laws and regulations governing matters relevant to our business, such as property ownership, copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel and defamation, and obscenity apply to our businesses. Many of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet, mobile, and related technologies and, as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Many of these laws, including some of those that do reference the Internet are subject to interpretation by the courts on an ongoing basis and the resulting uncertainty in the scope and application of these laws and regulations increases the risk that we will be subject to private claims and governmental actions alleging violations of those laws and regulations.

 

Compliance with these laws, regulations, and similar requirements may be onerous and expensive, and variances and inconsistencies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction may further increase the cost of compliance and doing business. Any such costs, which may rise in the future as a result of changes in these laws and regulations or in their interpretation, could individually or in the aggregate make our online marketplace less attractive to our customers, delay the introduction of new features or services, or cause us to change or limit our business practices. There can be no assurance that we and our employees, contractors, or agents will not violate such laws and regulations or our policies and procedures. Our failure to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our business could expose us to significant damage awards, fines and other penalties that could, individually or in the aggregate, materially harm our financial condition.

 

Our failure to comply with the laws of foreign jurisdictions where we operate could negatively impact our financial condition.

 

We offer the PostAds marketplace in will be increasingly obligated to comply with the laws of the countries or markets buyers and sellers of the PostAds marketplace are located. Because our services will be accessible in some foreign jurisdictions and we facilitate sales of goods and provide services to users in these jurisdictions, one or more jurisdictions may claim that we or our users are required to comply with their laws based on the location of our servers or one or more of our users, or the location of the product or service being sold or provided in an ecommerce transaction. Laws regulating Internet, mobile and ecommerce technologies outside of the United States are generally less favorable to us than those in the United States. Compliance may be more costly or may require us to change our business practices or restrict our service offerings, and the imposition of any regulations on us or our users may harm our business. In addition, we may be subject to multiple overlapping legal or regulatory regimes that impose conflicting requirements on us (e.g., in cross-border trade). Our failure to comply with foreign laws could subject us to penalties ranging from criminal prosecution to significant fines to bans on our services, in addition to the significant costs we may incur in defending against such actions which would harm our financial condition.

 

Technology changes rapidly in the online marketplace industry and if we fail to anticipate or successfully implement new technologies into our platform, our revenues will be negatively impacted.

 

Rapid technology changes in the online goods and services industry require us to anticipate new technologies and enhancements to our website which we must implement and develop in order to be competitive. Our competition may be able to achieve them more quickly and effectively than we can. Our website and its functionality may be technologically inferior to our competitors’ and less appealing to users. Any failure to adapt to, and appropriately allocate resources among, new technologies would harm our competitive position, and negatively impact our future revenues.

 

We are planning to use third parties to develop portions of the PostAds online platform. We will have less control over third parties because we cannot control their personnel, schedule or resources. It will be more difficult to detect design faults and software errors. Any such fault or error could cause design and/or software modifications delays or defects and would likely have a detrimental impact on our business. Any of these factors could cause users to reject our platform. If this happens we could lose anticipated revenues and you could lose your investment.

 

We may not be able to compete effectively against other online marketplaces.

 

We face strong competition from well-established companies that have established online marketplaces with brand recognition and greater financial resources than we have. We will be at a competitive disadvantage in gaining brand recognition, employees, financing and other resources required to make our online marketplace successful. Our opportunity to attract online buyers and sellers may be limited by our financial resources and lack of recognition of the PostAds marketplace. If we are unable to effectively compete with other online goods and services marketplaces, our business will fail and you will lose your entire investment.

 

As our business grows, we will need to attract additional managerial employees which we might not be able to do.

 

We have two officers; one of whom is our sole director. Kenneth T. Moore is our Chief Executive Officer, President and sole Director and Colm J. King is our Chief Financial Officer. In order to grow and implement our business plan, we may need to add managerial talent in sales, technology, and finance. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in adding such managerial talent which could negatively impact our plan of operations.

 

 17 

 

 

We currently have no protection by any trademarks, patents and/or other intellectual property registrations. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our proposed business will fail.

 

We recently applied for trademark protection of our logo and the PostAds Marketplace name. There is no assurance protection will be granted. At present we are planning to enter into non-disclosure agreements with employees to protect our trade secrets. Despite our precautions taken to protect our trade secrets, unauthorized parties may attempt in the future to reverse engineer and/or copy our online platform. If they are successful it could create more competition for us and even cause our proposed business operations to fail.

 

We are a startup company and we will encounter significant risks in developing our business.

 

We are a startup company. Our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. We have nominal revenues from operations and are dependent upon the sale of our securities to fund our future plans. There is no assurance we will be successful or ever generate revenues from operations. An investment in our common shares represents significant risk and you may lose all or part of your entire investment.

 

If we cannot generate revenues we will be unable to pay our operating expenses, which could cause us to suspend or cease operations. Our ability to generate revenues and operate profitability is dependent upon our ability to:

 

  Complete development of our online marketplace,
  Attract online buyers and sellers of goods and services,
  Convert an adequate percentage of our sellers into paying customers of premium listings and advertisements,
  Attain customer loyalty in light of competition,
  Increase awareness of the PostAds brand name,
  Attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel who can successfully assist us in implementing our business plan, and
  Develop and maintain strategic relationships with sellers.

 

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods until revenues are sufficient to fund operations. Failure to generate enough revenues for us to become profitable may cause us to suspend or cease activities.

 

We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations.

 

We have generated nominal revenues from operations. We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan because we currently do not have any income. We do not have any arrangements for outside financing. We are dependent on the sale of our securities to implement our business plan and fund our operations. There is no assurance we will be able to obtain future funding for our operations from the sale of our securities. The future issuance of our securities will result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders, and would likely have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock. Obtaining financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance. These factors may adversely affect the timing, amount, terms, or conditions of any financing that we may obtain or make any additional financing unavailable to us. If we do not obtain additional financing our business will fail.

 

We may not be able to attract enough paying sellers to operate profitably. If we do not make a profit, we may have to suspend or cease operations.

 

We are a developing company and do not have substantial capital and must be selective in marketing of our online marketplace. We plan to generate revenues from fees charged to sellers. Our online platform will be marketed through public relations, search engine optimization, search engine keyword advertising, and social media advertising. Because we have limited marketing resources, we may not be able to attract sufficient sellers to our platform. We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan because we currently do not have revenues from operations. We do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance. These factors may adversely affect the timing, amount, terms, or conditions of any financing that we may obtain or make any additional financing unavailable to us. If we do not obtain additional financing our business will fail.

 

 18 

 

 

A permanent loss of data or a permanent loss of service on the Internet will have an adverse effect on our operations and will cause us to be less effective in the industry.

 

Our operations depend on the Internet. If we permanently lose data or permanently lose Internet service for any reason, be it technical failure or criminal acts, our online platform will not function effectively and you could lose your investment.

 

None of our technology or business model is proprietary.

 

The hurdles to enter the online goods and services industry is low. The technology required to commence operations for any potential competitor are available from third party providers. Our business model, with few exceptions, is not new and can be readily adopted by those with a basic knowledge of the services marketplace industry.

 

Risks Related To Our Management

 

Should we lose the services of Kenneth T. Moore, one of our two officers and our sole director, our operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted.

 

Our future depends on the continued contributions of Kenneth T. Moore, one of our two officers and our sole director, who would be difficult to replace. Mr. Moore’s services are critical to the management of our business and operations. We do not maintain key man life insurance on Mr. Moore. Should we lose the services of Mr. Moore, we may be unable to replace his services with equally competent and experienced personnel and our operational goals and strategies may be adversely affected, which will negatively affect our potential revenues.

 

One of our two officers and sole director has voting control over all matters submitted to a vote of our common stockholders, which will prevent our minority shareholders from having the ability to control any of our corporate actions.

 

As of the date of this filing, we had 40,036,400 shares of common stock outstanding, each entitled to one (1) vote per common share. Our President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Kenneth T. Moore controls 25,000,000 shares which entitle the holder to one (1) vote per share and 2,000,000 preferred shares which entitle the holder to fifty (50) votes per share. As such, the aggregate number of common shares controlled by Mr. Moore effectively entitles him to vote approximately 125,000,000 out of 140,036,400 votes outstanding or 89.2% of our outstanding common shares on all matters submitted to a vote of our common stockholders. As a result, he has the ability to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors. Mr. Moore’s control of our voting securities may make it impossible to complete some corporate transactions without his support and may prevent a change in our control. In addition, this ownership could discourage the acquisition of our common stock by potential investors and could have an anti-takeover effect, possibly depressing the trading price of our common stock.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

The offering price of the common shares registered on behalf of the Selling Stockholders has been arbitrarily determined by us and bears no relationship to any criteria of value; as such, investors should not consider the offering price or value to be an indication of the value of the shares being registered.

 

Currently, there is no public market for our common stock. The offering price for the common shares registered on behalf of the Selling Stockholders named in our registration statement had been arbitrarily determined by us and is not based on assets, operations, book or other established criteria of value. Thus, investors should be aware that the offering price does not reflect the book value, market price or other recognized criteria representing the value of our common shares.

 

We will be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. We anticipate that our common stock will be a “penny stock”, and we will become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the “Penny Stock Rule”. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers. For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common shares and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our common shares in the secondary market.

 

 19 

 

 

For any transaction (other than an exempt transaction) involving a penny stock, the rules require delivery, prior to such transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made regarding sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

 

We do not anticipate that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock is exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

 

Sales of our common stock under Rule 144 could reduce the price of our stock.

 

None of our outstanding common shares are currently eligible for resale under Rule 144. In general, persons holding restricted securities in a SEC reporting company, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six months, may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any ninety (90) day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. If substantial amounts of our common stock become available for resale under Rule 144, prevailing market prices for our common stock will be reduced.

 

Our common stock is not currently quoted or listed and may never be quoted by the OTC Markets or any other listing or quotation service. If we fail to continue filing reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the future, our common shares (if listed or quoted) would no longer be eligible for quotation, which could reduce the value of your investment.

 

We file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required under Section 15(d). However, if in the future we fail to continue filing reports under Section 15(d), our common stock can no longer be quoted by the OTC Markets, which could reduce the value of your investment. Of course, there is no guarantee that we will be able to meet the requirements to be able to cease filing reports under Section 15(d), in which case we will continue filing those reports in the years after the fiscal year in which this registration statement is declared effective. We are required to continue to file quarterly and annual reports with the SEC and will also subject us to the proxy rules of the SEC. In addition, our officers, directors and ten percent (10%) stockholders will be required to submit reports to the SEC on their stock ownership and stock trading activity. Thus the filing of a Form 8-A in such event makes our common shares continued to be able to be quoted on the OTC Markets.

 

Our common stock is not currently quoted or listed and may never be quoted or listed by the OTC Markets or any other listing or quotation service and if listed, no market may ever develop for our common stock, or if developed, may not be sustained in the future. Investors may have difficulty in reselling their shares due to the lack of market or state Blue Sky laws.

 

Our common stock is currently not quoted on any market. No market may ever develop for our common stock, or if developed, may not be sustained in the future. The holders of our shares of common stock and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future should be aware that there might be significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares. Accordingly, even if we are successful in having the shares available for trading on the OTC Markets, investors should consider any secondary market for our common shares to be a limited one. We intend to seek coverage and publication of information regarding the company in an accepted publication, which permits a “manual exemption.” This manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the company issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuers, officers, and directors, (2) an issuer’s balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. We may not be able to secure a listing containing all of this information. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a non-issuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities. Most of the accepted manuals are those published in Standard and Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Service, Fitch’s Investment Service, and Best’s Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they “recognize securities manuals” but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin. Accordingly, our common shares should be considered totally illiquid, which inhibits investors’ ability to resell their shares.

 

We became subject to the 15(d) reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, upon the effectiveness of our registration statement which does not require a company to file all the same reports and information as a fully reporting company.

 

Upon the effectiveness of our registration statement, we became subject to the 15(d) reporting requirements according to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We are required to file the necessary reports in the fiscal year that the registration statement is declared effective. After that fiscal year and provided that we have less than 300 shareholders, we are not required to file these reports. If the reports are not filed, the investors will have reduced information about us including about our business, plan of operations and financial condition. In addition, as a filer subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we are not required to prepare proxy or information statements; our common stock will not be subject to the protection of the going private regulations; we will be subject to only limited portions of the tender offer rules; our officers, directors, and more than ten percent (10%) shareholders are not required to file beneficial ownership reports about their holdings of our common shares; that these persons will not be subject to the short-swing profit recovery provisions of the Exchange Act; and that more than five percent (5%) holders of classes of your equity securities will not be required to report information about their ownership positions in the securities.

We may, in the future, issue additional securities, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 90,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. As of the date of this filing, we had 40,036,400 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 49,963,600 shares of common stock and 8,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis including for services or acquisitions or other corporate actions that may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our stockholders, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock. Our board of directors may designate the rights, terms and preferences of our authorized but unissued preferred shares at its discretion including conversion and voting preferences without notice to our shareholders.

 

There is no assurance of a public market or that our common stock will ever trade on a recognized stock exchange. Therefore, you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our stock.

 

There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Our shares have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA for our shares to be quoted by the OTC Markets, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate their investment.

 

Because we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors after considering whether we have generated sufficient revenues, our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and other factors. Accordingly, investors that are seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

 

As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

 

Although the federal securities law provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments, not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five (5) years, although we could lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1,000,000,000, if we issue more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt in a three (3) year period, or if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $100,000,000 as of any April 30th date before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following April 30th. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

 

None.

 

Item 2. Properties.

 

On July 15, 2018, the Company terminated its month to month lease agreement for our corporate office space in order to locate more suitable office space and is temporarily conducting business from the home office of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer which is currently used for our principal administration, technology, development and research activities.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

 

On November 7, 2016, a complaint (Oceanside Equities, Inc. v. PostAds, Inc., Case Number: CACE-16-020387-21) was filed in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida against the Company. The complaint was brought by Vincent Beatty on behalf of Oceanside Equities, Inc. in an attempt to get 998,000 shares of our common stock (the “shares”) that were cancelled and returned to treasury on August 14, 2016 (see Note 9) and an additional $10,000 of compensation from the Company. Mr. Beatty entered into an agreement with the Company on August 18, 2015 to provide consulting services to the Company in consideration for compensation of $20,000 and the shares. Company management believes that they were induced into entering into the agreement by a misrepresentation of the services he would perform and as a result of his failure to perform such services, the Company’s position is that he is not entitled to the compensation. The Company has been damaged as a result of Mr. Beatty’s misrepresentations and further believes he has been unjustly enriched by the $10,000 initial payment he received from the Company as part of the compensation pursuant to the agreement. On February 21, 2019, the Court filed a notice of lack of prosecution and scheduled a hearing for April 26, 2019 to determine the status of the case. The Company was represented by counsel at the hearing during which the Court dismissed the complaint for lack of prosecution.

 

As of December 31, 2019, other than the above-mentioned complaint, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

 

PART II.

 

Item 5. Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

 

There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Our shares have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. A market maker has filed the necessary documents with FINRA for our shares to be quoted on the OTC Markets OYTCQB and we are awaiting approval.

 

Holders of Record

 

As of the close of business on April 13, 2020, there were approximately 28 stockholders of record of our common stock. The number of stockholders of record is based upon the actual number of holders registered on this date with our transfer agent.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We intend to retain all available funds and future earnings and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future decision to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws and will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors thinks are relevant.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

On November 15, 2018, the Company resolved to issue 5,000,000 shares of common stock to Kenneth T. Moore, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Sole Director, as additional consideration for services in the amount of $10,000 to be rendered to us during the period from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019. The 5,000,000 shares, valued at $0.002 per share resulting in a total value of $10,000 for financial accounting purposes with the total amount to be expensed over the term of the services provided through September 30, 2019. $2,500 of the total stock value of $10,000 was expensed in 2018 with the remaining $7,500 value expensed in 2019.

 

On November 15, 2018, the Company resolved to renew the agreement with Colm J. King to act as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for an additional year commencing on October 1, 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the one (1) year renewal, the Company will issue 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.002 per share resulting in a total value of $4,000 for financial accounting purposes with the total amount to be expensed over the term of the renewal period through September 30, 2019. $1,000 of the total stock value of $4,000 was expensed in 2018 with the remaining $3,000 value expensed in 2019.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes and other financial information included elsewhere on Form 10-K. This discussion, particularly information with respect to our outlook, our plans and strategy for our business and our performance and future success, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section.

 

Overview

 

We operate an online marketplace at www.PostAds.com which provides a platform for buyers and sellers to purchase new and used goods and services. Because we offer an internet site where buyers are charged no fees and sellers of products and services can list their products and services without charge in all categories other than employment and personal ads, we expect to generate a large number of registered users who place product and service ads. After the inventories of product and service ads are generated, we expect to generate revenue from premium placement, ad enhancements and advertisements on our website directed at visitors to our site. We also plan to generate revenue from two paid ad categories, employment and personals. There is no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

 23 

 

 

The PostAds Marketplace is structured so that we offer sellers free listings in all categories other than employment and personal ads so that we can continuously increase our registered users. As the number of visitors for free product and service listings grows, the PostAds marketplace will become an attractive platform for sellers and other businesses seeking to purchase listing enhancements and advertising for their products and services. For sellers of goods and services, our goal is to provide the most effective and economical posting of ads on the internet. Sellers can post classified ads for free for products and services. All users of the site can view all posted ads without charge. Because we are an internet-based business, our success depends upon attracting visitors to our site. To date, we have placed over 24,600 ads without charge on the PostAds Marketplace. This resulted in 6,922 registered non-paying users.

 

Because the product and service ads are free, we expect to generate a large inventory of ads. After the inventories of ads are generated, we expect to be able to sell premium placement, ad enhancements and advertisements on our site to non-paying and paying sellers of goods and services.

 

Results of Operations

 

We are in the development stage since we have not commenced planned principal operations. Our activities since inception include devoting substantially all of our efforts to business planning and development. Additionally, we have allocated a substantial portion of our time and investment to the completion of our development activities to launch our marketing plan and generate revenues and to raising capital. We have generated minimal revenue from operations. The Company’s activities during the development stage are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ deficit and working capital deficit of $2,506,607, $525,887 and $525,887, respectively, at December 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of $152,163 and $31,696, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company plans to attempt to raise additional equity financing and procure loans to fund its operations though there is no assurance it will succeed. The Company has not generated meaningful revenues from its business operations and are dependent on its ability to raise capital. If it is unable to raise all the capital it is seeking it may have to reduce its planned expenditures to a level where it can continue to operate until it obtains necessary financing. If it cannot obtain such financing and does not generate sufficient revenue to fund its operations, it may have to curtail or cease operations.

 

Results and comparison of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

The Company had minimal revenues of $66 and $50 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, since we had not yet initiated our sales and marketing programs and we had allocated a substantial portion of our time and investment to the completion of our development activities required in order to launch our marketing plan. The nominal revenue of $66 for the year ended December 31, 2019 is the result of users purchasing ad enhancements, even though we had not yet initiated our marketing programs. Our marketplace is structured so that we offer sellers free listings in all categories other than employment and personal ads so that we can continuously increase our registered users. With the anticipated commencement of our advertising and marketing programs during the second half of 2020, we expect the number of visitors for free product and service listings to increase and we expect to be able to sell premium placement, ad enhancements and advertisements on our site to non-paying and paying sellers of goods and services. The PostAds marketplace will become an attractive platform for sellers and other businesses seeking to purchase listing enhancements and advertising for their products and services. Because we are an internet based business, our success depends upon attracting visitors to our site. To date, we have placed over 24,600 ads without charge on the PostAds Marketplace. This resulted in 6,922 registered non-paying users. Because the product and service ads are free, we expect to generate a large inventory of ads. After the inventories of ads are generated, we expect to be able to sell premium placement, ad enhancements and advertisements on our site to non-paying and paying sellers of goods and services.

 

Operating expenses were $150,229 and $171,816 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of $123,500 of officer compensation and $26,729 of general and administration expenses. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 consisted of $116,500 of officer compensation and $55,316 of general and administration expenses.

 

Interest expense was $2,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

The Company had net losses of $152,163 and $173,766 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Based on 40,036,400 weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2019, the loss per share was ($0.00).

Liquidity and Capital Reserves

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 we generated revenues $66 and $50, respectively, from our business operations. We funded our working capital requirements primarily with non-interest-bearing advances to the Company by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. These advances totaling $31,695 and $54,353 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were utilized to pay general and administrative expenses.

 

We are attempting to raise additional equity financing and procure loans to fund our future operations though there is no assurance we will succeed. We have not generated meaningful revenues from our business operations and are dependent on our ability to raise capital. If we are unable to raise all the capital we require we may have to reduce our planned expenditures to a level where we can continue to operate until we obtain necessary financing. If we cannot obtain such financing and do not generate sufficient revenue to fund our operations, we may have to curtail or cease operations.

 

We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations, and will remain so until we generate sufficient revenues to pay for our operating costs. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees. We currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.

 

If we are unable to raise the funds we will seek alternative financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital we need for our operations from the sale of our securities. We have not located any sources for these funds and may not be able to do so in the future. We expect that we will seek additional financing in the future. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to cease operations. If we fail to raise funds we expect that we will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $31,696 in the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of the net loss of $152,163 offset with an increase in accrued officers’ salaries of $113,000.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of:

PostAds, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PostAds, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss and cash used in operations of $152,163 and $31,696, respectively, in 2019 and has a working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $525,887, $525,887 and $2,506,607, respectively, at December 31, 2019. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

PostAds, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on August 17, 2015 in the State of Nevada as a reorganization of a sole proprietor business with an inception date of August 26, 2013. The business was formed to provide an online platform at www.PostAds.com that offers an alternative marketplace for buyers and sellers of both new and pre-owned goods and service items (including jobs) together in an online market place that offers both retailers and service providers a forum to advertise and promote their goods and services while providing consumers a cost-effective way of locating and purchasing goods and services.

 

We are in the development stage since we have not commenced planned principal operations. Our activities since inception include devoting substantially all of our efforts to business planning and development. Additionally, we have allocated a substantial portion of our time and investment to the completion of our development activities to launch our marketing plan and generate revenues and to raising capital. We have generated minimal revenue from operations. The Company’s activities during the development stage are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

 

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ deficit and working capital deficit of $2,506,607, $525,887 and $525,887, respectively, at December 31, 2019 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of $152,163 and $31,696, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance date of this report.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company plans to attempt to raise additional equity financing and procure loans to fund its operations though there is no assurance it will succeed. The Company has not generated meaningful revenues from its business operations and is dependent on its ability to raise capital. If it is unable to raise all the capital it is seeking it may have to reduce its planned expenditures to a level where it can continue to operate until it obtains necessary financing. If it cannot obtain such financing and does not generate sufficient revenue to fund its operations, it may have to curtail or cease operations.

 

If the Company is unable to raise all the capital it is seeking, they may have to reduce their planned expenditures to a level where they can continue to operate until they obtain the necessary financing.

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Management’s Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include valuation of stock compensation and valuation of deferred tax assets.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no cash equivalents.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share -. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents during each period. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.

 

Computer Equipment - Computer equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company evaluates the recoverability of its fixed assets and other assets in accordance with section 360-10-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification relating to Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This standard requires recognition of impairment of long-lived assets in the event the net book value of such assets exceeds its expected cash flows. If so, it is considered to be impaired and is written down to fair value, which is determined based on either discounted future cash flows or appraised values.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company operates a platform for third-party sellers that purchase advertising on a monthly basis. Our business model allows us to make money when a seller either places an ad in a paid category, upgrades their ad with premium features and/or purchases an advertising spot on our platform to place a banner ad. We do not compete with PostAds sellers, hold inventory or sell goods. Our revenue is diversified, generated from a mix of upgraded services we provide our sellers. Our existing revenue stream consists of Seller Services revenue, which includes fees that PostAds sellers pay us for utilizing upgraded seller services such as featured listings, additional regions, better placement, highlighting, additional photos, video uploads and paid categories.

 

As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the revenue standards of Financial Accounting Standards Board Update No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of this Topic is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized in accordance with that core principle by applying the following five steps: 1) identify the contracts with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. The revenue is recognized pro-rata over the time period the advertisement is displayed. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon its evaluation of whether it is the primary obligor in a transaction and has latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers. Based on its evaluation of these factors, advertising revenue which is the advertising fee paid by the seller is recorded on a gross basis, since the Company is the party responsible to the seller for providing the service that is the subject of the transaction and while most fees are currently a fixed dollar amount, the Company has the ability and reasonable latitude to establish prices for the services.

 

There have been no chargebacks to date. If we encounter chargebacks in the future, they will be recorded as a reduction to revenue in the same period that the revenue is recognized and we may consider establishing a reserve liability.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Stock-Based Compensation - For employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or based on the value of the services provided, whichever is more reliable. The expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which aligns the accounting for share based payments to non-employees with the accounting for share based payments to employees. The adoption of this update on January 1, 2019 did not cause a material change to our financial statements.

 

Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - We measure our financial assets and liabilities in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

The Company follows 825-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2019, nor gains or losses that were reported in the statement of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Reclassification – for the year ended December 31, 2018, $2,000 of interest expenses were reclassified from General and Administrative expenses to Other Income (Expense) to conform to the 2019 presentation in the statements of operations. This amount is immaterial to the Total Operating Expenses in the financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, the FASB or other standards setting bodies will issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB ASC are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not believe the impact this standard will have on the Company’s financial statements will be material.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

 

On November 7, 2016, a complaint (Oceanside Equities, Inc. v. PostAds, Inc., Case Number: CACE-16-020387-21) was filed in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida against the Company. The complaint was brought by Vincent Beatty on behalf of Oceanside Equities, Inc. in an attempt to get 998,000 shares of our common stock (the “shares”) that were cancelled and returned to treasury on August 14, 2016 (see Note 9) and an additional $10,000 of compensation from the Company. Mr. Beatty entered into an agreement with the Company on August 18, 2015 to provide consulting services to the Company in consideration for compensation of $20,000 and the shares. Company management believes that they were induced into entering into the agreement by a misrepresentation of the services he would perform and as a result of his failure to perform such services, the Company’s position is that he is not entitled to the compensation. The Company has been damaged as a result of Mr. Beatty’s misrepresentations and further believes he has been unjustly enriched by the $10,000 initial payment he received from the Company as part of the compensation pursuant to the agreement. On February 21, 2019, the Court filed a notice of lack of prosecution and scheduled a hearing for April 26, 2019 to determine the status of the case. The Company was represented by counsel at the hearing during which the Court dismissed the complaint for lack of prosecution.

 

As of December 31, 2019, other than the above-mentioned complaint, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of our operations.

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Accrued officers’ salaries payable in the amounts of $369,125 and $256,125 are recorded on the Company’s books at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. (See Note 6 – LIABILITIES)

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAX

 

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

The effective tax rate on the net loss before income taxes differs from the U.S. statutory rate as follows:

 

   December 31, 2019   December 31, 2018 
U.S statutory rate   21%   21%
Less valuation allowance   (21)%   (21)%
Effective tax rate   0%   0%

 

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset and reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income tax amount recorded as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

 

   December 31, 2019   December 31, 2018 
Net operating loss carryforward  $(2,506,607)  $(2,354,444)
Statutory tax rate   21%   21%
Deferred tax asset   (526,387)   (494,433)
Less: Valuation allowance   526,387    494,433 
Net deferred asset  $-   $- 

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $2,506,607 in net operating losses (“NOLs”) that may be available to offset future taxable income, which begin to expire between 2035 and 2037. NOLs totaling $2,180,678, generated in tax years prior to December 31, 2017, can be carryforward for twenty years, whereas NOLs totaling $325,929, generated after December 31, 2017 can be carryforward indefinitely. In accordance with Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the usage of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards is subject to annual limitations following greater than 50% ownership changes. Tax returns for the years ended 2017 through 2019 are subject to review by the tax authorities.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019. “Disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2019 at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, our management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2019 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified during the fourth quarter ended December, 31, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Controls

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
