NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS, OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
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 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, the related statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the related statements of cash flows and the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and with the instructions to Regulation S-X for interim financial information, which, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2018, results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements for the three and six month periods is unaudited. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The results of operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
The accompanying unaudited 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 unaudited financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ deficit and working capital deficit of $2,280,710, $313,990 and $314,535, respectively, at June 30, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of $100,032 and $42,185, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months 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.

NOTE 4 - 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 website development costs, 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no cash equivalents.
Net Loss per Common Share - Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents during each period.
Income Taxes - Historically, the Company was treated as a sole proprietorship for income tax purposes and was not subject to federal or state income taxes; accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements through August 16, 2015. The sole proprietor was required to report his income, losses, credits or other deductions on his respective income tax returns.
Beginning after August 17, 2015 when the Company changed its structure to a corporation, the Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740“Income Taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Also using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The tax years that remain subject to examination are the years ending on December 31, 2016 and 2017. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No such interest and penalties were recorded as of June 30, 2018.
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.
Internal-use Software and Website Development Costs -Costs incurred to develop software for internal use and the Company’s website are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years. The Company also capitalizes costs related to upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality or will extend the useful life of existing functionality. The Company periodically reviews internal-use software and website development costs to determine whether the projects will be completed, placed in service, removed from service, or replaced by other internally developed or third-party software. If the asset is not expected to provide any future benefit, the asset is retired and any unamortized cost is expensed.

NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.

NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
Stock-Based Compensation -For employee stock-based awards, the Company estimates the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. For stock issued to employees for other than cash the Company estimates the fair value of the shares issued based on the trading or selling price of similar shares or based on the value of the services provided, whichever is more reliable.
For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company estimates the fair value of the award on the date of grant in the same manner as employee awards; however, the unvested portion of the awards is revalued at the end of each reporting period until such time as the non-employee award is fully vested. Vested portions are recorded as prepaid assets and amortized to expense over the service periods.
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 June 30, 2018, nor gains or losses that were reported in the statement of operations, attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities, still held at the reporting dates for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires a reporting entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for operating leases to increase transparency and comparability. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption of this standard, the Company expects to recognize, on a discounted basis, its minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases on the consolidated balance sheets resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations. The Company is currently evaluating additional impacts the guidance will have on its financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The new guidance is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018 noting no material impact to the financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, to clarify the definition of a business and provide guidance for evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The new guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018 noting no material impact to the financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to simplify the measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. The new guidance requires goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The new guidance is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the update to this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

On October 1, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Colm J. King to act as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the one (1) year agreement, the Company will pay aggregate consideration of $48,000 in cash and issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock on October 1, 2016, valued at the contemporaneous private placement offering price of $0.10 per share resulting in a total value of $100,000 for financial accounting purposes with the total amount to be expensed over the terms of the agreement through September 30, 2017.

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. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against this action. No further actions have been taken by the plaintiff. The Company is unable to predict the outcome, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the results of our operations.
As of June 30, 2018, 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.

OVERVIEW
We were founded as a sole proprietorship on August 26, 2013. We changed our structure to a corporation on August 17, 2015, by incorporating in the State of Nevada. We were founded by Kenneth T. Moore to commercialize an online marketplace for buyers and sellers of goods and services.
Our principal executive office is located at 201 S.E. 15th Terrace, Suite 203, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441 and our telephone number is (954) 464-1642. Our website is located at www.PostAds.com and is not part of this prospectus.
We operate an online marketplace atwww.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.
Business Development
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 20,807 free ads and obtained 5,439 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) obtaining5,439 registered users, (ix) placing more than20,807 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.

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 over20,807 ads without charge on the PostAds Marketplace. This resulted in5,439 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.
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 in December of 2016, we planned to develop email marketing and print materials to attract potential advertisers to our website.
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 2018. 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 June 30, 2018, 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:

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:

20
Auctions
We believe 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 purchasepremium placement, ad enhancements and advertisementsof 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.
Revenues
We plan to generate revenues from:
| | |
| | |
| · | Monthly Seller fees of $6.95 per month for each retail store front listing, |
| · | Monthly Seller fees $6.95 per month for each service store front listing, |
| · | Charging for ads in the Jobs category which currently has a fee of $5.00 per listing for a 30-day ad and personals category which has fees ranging from $1.00 to $15.00 depending on the category and ad duration, and |
| · | Charging Sellers for ad enhancements to sellers. |
Ad Enhancements
We plan to offer ad enhancements to sellers (including retail store front listings, service store front listings, action listings and classified ad listings) as follows:
·Banner Advertisements. Banner Advertisements are small rectangular advertisements that appear on pages of the PostAds Market Place. When a user clicks on a banner advertisement, it will take the user to a particular advertiser's storefront or listing.Banner advertising fees range from $2.99 to $99.00 depending upon ad size, location and number of categories,
·Bulk Advertisements. The PostAds Bulk Uploader allows users to create multiple ads from a single transaction of data stored in a spreadsheet file and upload that file to multiple pages of the PostAds Market Place. Bulk advertising is free.
·Ad-Ons. Ad-On are enhancements to listings such as colored text, graphics and icons. Fees for Ad-On range from 0.25 to $3.00 per item, and
·Premium Placement Fees. Premium placement fees allow a user to select optimum locations for their ad or listing such as top of the page or first listing of the category. Premium placement fees range between $1.00 and $3.00 depending upon location.
The Chart below summarizes the ad enhancements we offer:
| | |

PostAds Marketplace Features
A key feature of the PostAds Marketplace is the search feature that allows buyers of goods and services to locate particular items of interest within the various areas of our website using a keyword search. The search feature allows the user to search within specific listing categories and by geographic region. Our bulk uploader allows sellers to post multiple advertisements and listings in multiple categories at the same time. As summarized below, our site offers user friendly features to enhance the PostAds experience. The enhanced version of the site was launched in April 2016.
| | |
Website Feature | Feature | Revenue |
Bulk Uploader Auction and Classified Ad | Allows Auction and Classified Ad Sellers to upload ads for multiple products and/or services at the same time | There is no charge to users of this feature. |
Feature for Buyers | Allows buyers to search for items or services they wish to purchase throughout different categories (retail store front, service store front classified ads and auction) at the same time | There is no charge to users of this feature. |
Bulk Uploader for Store Fronts | Allows store front sellers to upload ads for multiple products and/or services at the same time to their store front. | There is no charge to users of this feature. |
Benefits of the PostAds Marketplace
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 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 September of 2018.
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 September of 2018 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 market place and drive traffic to our website beginning October of 2018, 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 October of 2018 and use this as an ongoing form of marketing. |

We believe that a marketing mix of email and social media campaigns and internet advertising is an optimal strategy to increase revenues.
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 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 unaudited 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 unaudited financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit, stockholders’ deficit and working capital deficit of $2,280,710 $313,990 and $314,535, respectively, at June 30, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities of $100,032 and $42,185, 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.
Results and comparison of the three month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The Company had minimal revenues of $33 and $11 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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. With the commencement of our advertising and marketing programs anticipated during the third and fourth quarters of 2018, we expect the number of visitors for free product and service listings to increase andwe 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 $37,561 and $59,681 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Results and comparison of the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
The Company had minimal revenues of $47 and $32 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 $47 for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 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 commencement of our advertising and marketing programs during the third and fourth quarters of 2018, we expect the number of visitors for free product and service listings to increase andwe 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 20,807 ads without charge on the PostAds Marketplace. This resulted in 5,439 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESERVES
Sources of Liquidity
For the six month period ending June 30, 2018, we generated revenues of $47 from our business operations. We funded our working capital requirements through non-interest bearing advances of $42,196 to the Company by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, 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.
