ADVANTEGO CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (Unaudited)

 

 

Note A – Organization and Business

 

Organization and Nature of Business

 

Advantego Corporation (“Advantego,” “we,” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Colorado on July 21, 1988, as Beneficial Capital Financial Services Corp. On February 2, 1995, the Company changed its name to Golden Eagle International, Inc. (“GEII”). From late 2008 through June 2009, GEII engaged in contract gold milling operations in the state of Nevada in the United States. GEII had not had any business operations since it disposed of its wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Eagle International, Inc. (Bolivia), in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Prior to that time, GEII had been involved in the business of minerals exploration and (prior to 2005) mining and milling operations in Bolivia through that subsidiary. More recently, GEII had been a non-operating corporation seeking to sell its remaining milling plant and equipment and/or merge with an operating company. Advantego Technologies, Inc. (“ATI”) is a Colorado corporation formed on July 29, 2016. On October 27, 2016, GEII completed a reverse merger with ATI, which resulted in a change of control and the perpetuation of ATI’s management and business operations.

 

Effective February 1, 2018 and pursuant to Board authorization and majority shareholder approval, the Company changed its name to Advantego Corporation (amending GEII’s Articles of Incorporation accordingly), cancelled its Series A, C, and D preferred shares, and effected a 1-for-11 reverse stock split on its issued and outstanding shares of common stock that became effective on the OTCQB on February 21, 2018 under the symbol “ADGO.”

 

The Company empowers business innovation as a technical solutions provider developing stand-alone digital and enterprise software products to capitalize on niche opportunities within a specific market. The Company leverages a proprietary Intelligent Solution Platform combining leading third-party technologies with existing data and systems to deliver a turnkey specialized Business Process as a Services (BPaaS) that is both scalable and cost effective.

 

We also provide a subscription-based online directory listing services and were a reseller of software that allows potential customers to better locate an auto collision center, or any business, on the internet.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the operations of Advantego Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Advantego Technologies, Inc., with all intercompany transactions eliminated.

 

Going Concern

 

The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has not yet achieved profitable operations, has negative working capital, has accumulated losses of $(4,664,625), since its inception through March 31, 2020, and may incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We can offer no assurances that we will be able to obtain adequate financing to implement our business plan and remain a going concern.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the world. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around its duration. As a result of COVID-19 mobility restrictions globally, there have been changes in consumer behavior. We expect these changes in behavior to continue to evolve as the pandemic progresses. The impacts seen to date may continue to create a wider range of outcomes as consumer behaviors and mobility restrictions continue to evolve. The Covid 19 pandemic has impacted our business resulting in the cancellation of certain business contracts and hindered our ability to raise additional capital.

 

Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts for fair value measurements in accordance with accounting standard ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s current assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of convertible notes payable approximates fair value as the individual borrowings bear interest at market interest rates and are also short-term in nature.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

From time to time our cash balances, held at major financial institutions, exceed the federally insured limits of $250,000. Our management believes that the financial institutions are financially sound, and the risk of loss is low. Our cash balances did not exceed federally insured limits at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the statement of cash flows, any liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” following the five steps procedure:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation

 

8

 

 

The Company generates revenue from online directory and digital signage components of its ongoing licensing services it provides to third parties. Revenue from online directory services is recognized over the life of the agreement ranging from one to twelve months. Revenue from digital signage control boxes is recognized at the time of sale and renewal fees are amortized over the term of the renewal, ranging from one to twelve months. The Company recognized $2,373 and $0 in online listing sales during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recognized $3,400 and $8,325 in digital signage sales during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We measure stock-based compensation cost at the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date. We recognize the cost over the requisite service period, which is typically the vesting period.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The computation of basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period.

 

The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the common stock equivalents as detailed in the following chart. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the inclusion of these common stock equivalents on the consolidated statements of operations would have resulted in a diluted weighted average shares number that was anti-dilutive, and as such they are excluded.

 

Fully diluted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

   

           
  

March 31,

2020

  

March 31,

2019

 
         
Basic weighted average shares outstanding   727,729,478    16,723,323 
Convertible debt   54,284,660,636    5,942,237 
Warrants   -    181,818 
Series A convertible preferred stock   980,000    - 
Series B convertible preferred stock   10,909    10,909- 
Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding   55,013,381,023    22,858,287 

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Under the liability method, future tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the financial statements and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized, or the liability settled.

 

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax law and rates on the date of enactment.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

From January 17, 2019, through August 7, 2019, the Company issued nineteen (19) Convertible Promissory Notes to third parties ranging in face values from a low of $40,000 to a high of $610,000 all with maturity dates ranging of nine (9) months to one (1) year. Annual interest rates ranged from a low of 0% to a high of 12%. All notes are convertible at any time after 6 months of the funding of the note into a variable number of the Company’s common stock, based on a conversion rate from 58% to 62% of the of the lowest trading price from a range of 15 to 25 of the previous days to conversion. When the Company received proceeds, proceeds ranged from $31,800 to $557,500, after disbursements for the lender’s transaction costs, fees and expenses which in aggregate resulted in a total discount ranging from $500 to $52,500 that are amortized to interest expense over the life of each note. Additionally, the note’s variable conversion rate component requires that the note be valued at its stock redemption value (i.e., “if-converted” value) pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, with the excess over the note’s undiscounted face value being deemed a premium to be added to the principal balance and amortized to additional paid-in capital over the life of the note. As such, the Company recorded premiums on the note(s) ranging from $42,200 to $1,300,101 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rates from $ .04 to $ .33 per share based on the trading prices ranging from 15 to 25 days preceding the note’s issuance), which computed to a range of 181,159 to 3,080,808 shares ‘if converted’ common stock with redemption values between $67,029 and $191,101 due to the range from $.06 to $.45 per share fair market value of the Company’s stock on the note’s date of issuance. Debt discount amortization is recorded as interest expense, while debt premium amortization is recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company received $0 and $1,142,250, respectively, in proceeds from issuance of convertible notes, and made repayments of $0 and $253,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company converted $5,819 and $0, respectively, in principal and $8,021 and $0, respectively, in accrued interest on convertible notes to common stock. Debt discount and premium amortizations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, totaled $42,325 and $533,106, respectively, while interest expense was $104,595. Debt discount and premium amortizations for the three months ended March 31, 2019, totaled $70,465 and $485,670, respectively, while interest expense was $31,561.

Note G – Subsequent Events

 

The Company has analyzed events occurring subsequent to March 31, 2020, through the date these financial statements were issued, and noted the following material items requiring disclosure herein:

 

(1) During the subsequent period from April 1, 2020, through the date of this filing, unaffiliated holders of our convertible notes payable elected to convert $2,185,798 of principal interest and fees into 16,417,863,593 shares of our common stock at prices ranging from $.00003 to $.001 per share at rates discounted from the stock’s fair market value on each conversion date based on discount rates specified in each respective note.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K Advantego Corporation is referred to as “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” or “Advantego.”

 

Advantego Corporation (“Advantego,” formerly Golden Eagle International, Inc., or “GEII”) was incorporated in Colorado on July 21, 1988. GEII had previously engaged in contract gold milling operations primarily in the state of Nevada in the United States. Advantego Technologies, Inc. is a California corporation formed on July 29, 2016. On October 27, 2016, the Company acquired 100% stock ownership of Advantego Technologies, Inc. in exchange for 11,628,636 (post-split) shares of the Company’s common stock. The stock exchange was deemed a reverse merger, as the management and operations of Advantego continued; and Advantego’s management received in the aggregate a majority ownership in GEII as a result of the stock exchange.

 

On February 1, 2018, we changed our name from GEII to Advantego Corporation and our trading symbol from MYNG to ADGO. On January 31, 2018, our shareholders approved a 1-for-11 reverse stock split, which was effective February 22, 2018. Unless otherwise indicated, all per-share information in this report has been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split. All references to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” include the operations of Advantego Technologies, Inc. consolidated with Advantego.

The Company empowers business innovation as a technical solutions provider developing stand-alone digital and enterprise software products to capitalize on niche opportunities within a specific market. The Company leverages a proprietary Intelligent Solution Platform combining leading third-party technologies with existing data and systems to deliver a turnkey specialized Business Process as a Services (BPaaS) that is both scalable and cost effective.

 

The Company offers a variety of stand-alone products tailored specifically to targeted industries as well as combining these with multiple software applications for large enterprises, affiliate networks and franchise operators delivering comprehensive, all-inclusive, managed bundled solutions.

 

Additional services include Product Design, Engineering and Manufacturing services; Custom Enterprise Software development, and Licensing of Intellectual Property from its vast library of strategic partners. This provides a “one-stop-shop” for our customers.

 

We maintain a small core group of employees and outsource most of our Product Development, Product Maintenance, Sales and Marketing, Accounting, Investor Relations, Legal, and Project Management services. We feel this approach is more cost-effective, provides greater flexibility, and resources can be applied quickly to specific projects and tasks as needed.

 

We launched our field testing of various products and services in May 2017 and commenced fulfillment of a revenue generating contract of our digital signage product to a network of certified auto care collision centers in March of 2018 throughout the United States during the year ended December 31, 2018. The digital signage allows the auto care collision centers to display, on a large television screen or counter displays, information concerning the center, their certifications and other informational and promotional content associated with the automotive industry.

 

We also provide subscription-based online directory listing services; and we are a reseller of software that allows potential customers to better locate an auto collision center or any business on the internet. As of March 31, 2020, 25 auto care collision centers were using this software.

 

Beginning in March of 2018 and continuing through the end of 2019, management began a campaign to attract and associate with certain companies that had proprietary and patented technology in the hopes that if the opportunity arose, the Company could utilize these technologies in the development of new products internally or help facilitate the development of new products that these new strategic partners might like to develop and distribute.

 

This approach continued throughout 2019 until it became apparent that the Company’s strategic technical partners had limited capital capabilities and fell short of the potential of what management thought could be achieved with them. We learned that a catastrophe, such as Covid 19, would devastate many small private and public companies because of their limited surplus capital. Since that time, no further strategic partnership agreements have been sought by the Company because of the lack of financial capability in most of the potential associates. Any and all commitments that Advantego had agreed to with its strategic partners have since been terminated or run their course. The Company, therefore, has no obligations or contingent liabilities from its relationship with these strategic partners moving forward.

 

The Company did use proprietary technology owned by Badu Networks to develop a revenue producing service (“eLobby”). eLobby was a digital signage solution that was delivered to a network of 1,250 auto care collision centers around the US. The client, however, decided not to renew the recurring licenses or to purchase any additional ones thus eliminating any recurring revenue the Company had expected to realize.

 

13

 

 

As of March 31, 2020, the Company does not expect anything of substance to develop in the future from the relationships it has established with its strategic partners. The Company will not be expending any further resources to enhance any existing service or try to adapt the present technologies of its strategic partners to new opportunities.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the world. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around its duration. As a result of COVID-19 mobility restrictions globally, there have been changes in consumer behavior. We expect these changes in behavior to continue to evolve as the pandemic progresses. The impacts seen to date may continue to create a wider range of outcomes as consumer behaviors and mobility restrictions continue to evolve.

 

The Covid 19 pandemic has impacted our business resulting in the cancellation of certain business contracts and hindered our ability to raise additional capital. 

 

Results of Operations

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had revenues of $5,773 and $8,325, respectively. The related cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $0 and $10,838, respectively. The decrease in revenue was the result of the wind down of renewal fees for our digital signage service and service for our digital signage product to a network of certified auto care collision centers in the United States during the later parts of 2019. Similarly, our cost of sales decreased as we had no renewal costs. As a result, gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased to $5,773 from ($2,513) during the same period during 2019. Our general and administrative expenses totaled $10,885 and $347,749 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of the winding down of operations as a result of the lack of cash and the onset of the Covid pandemic. Interest expense was $146,920 and $250,152 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease during 2020 was due to the conversion of a portion of our convertible notes payable into common stock, resulting in a lower principal balance on which to accrue interest.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources and (uses) of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

 

   2020   2019 
         
Cash provided (used) by operating activities  $554   $(557,454)
Cash from investing activities  $-   $- 
Cash provided by financing activities  $-   $889,250

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, operating activities provided $554, which consisted of a net loss of $152,032, offset by non-cash expenses of $42,325 in debt discount amortization and preferred stock issued for $50 in services, as well as a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $110,211.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we used $557,454 in operating activities, which consisted of a net loss of $600,414, offset by $70,465 in debt discount amortization and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $27,505. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received $889,250 from financing activities, consisting of $1,142,250 in proceeds from convertible notes, offset by repayments of convertible notes of $253,000. We did not have any investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

None.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not Applicable. The Company is a “smaller reporting company.”

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officers of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the following reasons:

 

  the lack of formal written documentation relating to the design of our controls.
   
  we did not maintain adequate segregation of duties related to job responsibilities for initiating, authorizing, and recording of certain transactions due to the small size of our company.

 

Notwithstanding the above, a controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The certificates representing these shares will bear a restricted legend which provides they cannot be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration. No commission or other form of remuneration was given to any person in connection with the issuance of these shares.
