Item 1. Business
 
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 is deemed a reverse merger, as the management and operations of Advantego have continued, and Advantego's management received in the aggregate a majority ownership in GEII as a result of the stock exchange.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the Company include the operations of Advantego Technologies, Inc. and Advantego Communications, Inc.
 
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.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is not restricted from paying any dividends but is not obligated to declare a dividend. No cash dividends have ever been declared and it is not anticipated that cash dividends will ever be paid.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The provisions in the Articles of Incorporation relating to the preferred stock allow our directors to issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with these rights may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by our management.
 
As of, March 29, 2019 the Company had 16,712,819 outstanding shares of common stock which were owned by approximately 463 shareholders of record.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 we had revenues of $200,061 and $18,631 respectively. Our general and administrative expenses increased to $1,041,067 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $571,549 for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily the result of increases in marketing costs, investor relations and insurance.
 
Interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 increased to $284,307 from $60,880 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily the result of additional interest on convertible debt needed for operations, prepayment interest penalties and the amortization of debt discount.
 
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred a net loss of $1,253,340 and $616,798 respectively.
 
We do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our revenues or expenses.

Item 9A.         
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-K. 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-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period 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 December 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, 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.
 
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our Principal Executive and Financial Officers and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our Principal Executive and Financial Officers evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework (2013). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.
 
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018. Due to the following:
 
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 that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Advantego Corporation
Denver, CO
 
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advantego Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 its 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 consolidated 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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
Emphasis of Matter
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has suffered recurring losses and has a negative working capital, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ADVANTEGO CORPORATION
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  
For the Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
 
  Note A – Organization and Business
 
Organization and Nature of Business
 
Golden Eagle International, Inc. (“GEII”) was incorporated in Colorado on July 21, 1988. From late 2008 through June 2009, GEII engaged in contract gold milling operations in the state of Nevada in the United States.  GEII has 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 has been a non-operating corporation seeking to sell its remaining milling plant and equipment and/or merge with an operating company. Advantego Corporation, Inc. is a Colorado corporation formed on July 29, 2016. On October 27, 2016, GEII completed a reverse merger with Advantego Technologies, Inc., which resulted in a change of control and the perpetuation of Advantego Technologies, Inc.’s management and business operations.
 
Effective February 1, 2018 and pursuant to Board authorization and majority shareholder approval, the Company changed the name of GEII 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. Unless otherwise noted, impacted amounts and share information included in the financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split as if it had occurred on the first day of the earliest period presented.
 
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 & 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.  As of December 31, 2018, we had delivered approximately 930 controllers to individual auto care collision centers in the Assured Performance Network nationwide.
 
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 December 31, 2018, 25 auto care collision centers were using this software.
 
 
26
 
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying financial statements represent the consolidated operations of Advantego Corporation and Advantego Technologies, Inc., collectively "the Company," "we," "us," as the consolidated entity, with all intercompany transactions eliminated.
 
Going Concern
 
The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 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 $(2,032,602), since its inception through December 31, 2018, 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.
 
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 Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of notes payable approximates fair value as the individual borrowings bear interest at market interest rates and are also short-term in nature.
 
 
27
 
 
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 a major financial institution, exceed the federally insured limits of $250,000.  Our management believes that the financial institution is financially sound and the risk of loss is low.
 
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.
 
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
 
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its obligation by transferring control of the good or service to the customer. A performance obligation is satisfied over time if one of the following criteria are met:
 
In May 2017, the Company launched the online directory and digital signage components of its ongoing licensing services it provides to third parties. Revenue from online directory services are recognized over the life of the agreement ranging from one to twelve months. Revenue from digital signage sales is recognized at the time of sale. The Company recognized $17,967 and $18,631 in online directory services, and $182,094 and $0 in digital signage sales during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, $0 and $4,215, respectively, of online directory listing sales were deferred to future periods. Management determined no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary at December 31, 2018 or 2017.
 
 
28
 
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
We measure stock-based compensation cost relative to the estimated fair value of the awards on the grant date using a Black-Scholes options pricing model.  We recognize the cost as the awards vest.  
 
Income (Loss) Per Share
 
The computation of basic earnings (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the common stock equivalents as detailed in the following chart.  In 2018 and 2017, the inclusion of these shares on the consolidated statement of operations would have resulted in a weighted average shares fully diluted number that was anti-dilutive and as such they are excluded.
 
Fully diluted shares for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Total
    17,809,686  
    15,545,278  
 
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 carry-forwards 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.
 
 
29
 
 
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.

Note F – Income Taxes
 
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards 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 laws and rates on the date of enactment.

A provision for income taxes has not been made due to net operating loss carry-forwards of $15,837,093 at December 31, 2018, which may be offset against future taxable income through 2036. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements.
 
The actual provision for income tax differs from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 as follows:

Current accounting guidance requires the Company to provide a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax impacts related to the sustainability of tax positions taken in current and prior periods.
 
As of December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
 
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes.  As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
 
The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended December 31, 2015 through the present.
 
Note G – Subsequent Events
 
(1)
On January 3, 2019 the Company issued a convertible promissory note with a face value of $105,000, maturing on January 3, 2020, and a stated interest of 10% to a third-party investor. The note is 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 of 60% of the lowest trading price for the 20 days prior to conversion. The note was funded on January 7, 2019, when the Company received proceeds of $91,500, after disbursements for the lender's transaction costs, fees and expenses which in aggregate resulted in a total discount of $13,500 to be amortized to interest expense over the life of the 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 a premium on the note of $270,000 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rate of $0.14 per share (60% of the lowest trading price during the 20 days preceding the note's issuance), which computed to 1,250,000 shares of 'if-converted' common stock with a redemption value of $375,000 due to $0.300 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.

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 a premium on the note of $148,214 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rate of $0.14 per share (60% of the lowest trading price during the 25 days preceding the note's issuance), which computed to 892,857 shares of 'if-converted' common stock with a redemption value of $223,214 due to $0.250 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.

As such, the Company recorded a premium on the note of $149,276 as a reduction to additional paid-in capital based on a discounted “if-converted” rate of $0.25 per share (58 % of the average of 2 lowest trading day prices during the 15 days preceding the note's issuance), which computed to 537,931 shares of 'if-converted' common stock with a redemption value of $227,276 due to $0.423 per share fair market value of the Company's stock on the note's date of issuance.
