Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1–Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Netcapital Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025. For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2024.

On July 29, 2024, following shareholder approval we filed articles of amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code to effectuate a 1-for-70 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which Articles of Amendment became effective on August 1, 2024. The Reverse Stock Split became effective at 4:01 pm Eastern Time on August 1, 2024, and our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis at the open of trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 2, 2024. Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every seventy (70) shares of our common stock issued and outstanding were automatically reclassified and combined into one share of our common stock, without any change in the par value per share. Additionally, equitable adjustments corresponding to the Reverse Stock Split ratio were made to (i) the exercise prices of and number of shares of common stock underlying the Company’s public and private warrants in accordance with their terms, (ii) the number of shares of common stock underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards in accordance with their terms, and (iii) the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plan. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share instead became entitled to receive one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share. Following the Reverse Stock Split, we had 718,934 shares of our common stock outstanding, which includes 139,781 shares of our common stock that were issued for rounding up fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. All share and per share data in the accompanying financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries after the elimination of significant intercompany balances and transactions. The wholly owned subsidiaries are Netcapital Funding Portal Inc., an equity-based funding portal registered with the SEC, Netcapital Advisors Inc., which provides marketing and strategic advice to select companies, MSG Development Corp, a business valuation company, which was acquired in November 2021, and Netcapital Securities Inc., which was acquired in 2024 and has applied to FINRA to operate as a broker dealer.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, accounts receivable, valuation of equity securities, income taxes, and valuation of long-lived assets including intellectual property and purchased technology. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events, interpretation of regulations, and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The new guidance provides better representation about expected credit losses on financial instruments. This update requires the use of a methodology that reflects expected losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportive information to inform credit loss estimates. This ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, which provides additional guidance on the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with leases and clarifies certain lessor transactions. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company has evaluated the potential impact of this ASU on its financial statements and related disclosures. As the Company does not have any leases, we do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2023-01 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, which clarifies the guidance on the fair value measurement of equity securities that are subject to contractual sale restrictions. The standard provides specific guidance on measuring the fair value of these securities and requires additional disclosures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact of ASU 2022-03 and determined that it does not currently hold any equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. Therefore, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Note 2 –Concentrations

For the three months ended July 31, 2024, the Company had one customer that constituted 15% of revenues. For the three months ended July 31, 2023, the Company had one customer that constituted 37% of revenues, and a second customer that constituted 37% of revenues.

Note 3 –Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition under ASC 606

The Company recognizes service revenue from its consulting contracts, funding portal and game website using the five-step model as prescribed by ASC 606:

●Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
●Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
●Determination of the transaction price.
●Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
●Recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company identifies performance obligations in contracts with customers, which primarily are professional services, listing fees on our funding portal, and a portal fee of 4.9% of the money raised on the funding portal. The transaction price is determined based on the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring the promised services to the customer. The transaction price in the contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation in an amount that represents the relative amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for satisfying each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied. The Company usually bills its customers before it provides any services and begins performing services after the first payment is received. Contracts are typically one year or less. For larger contracts, in addition to the initial payment, the Company may allow for progress payments throughout the term of the contract.

-10-

Judgments and Estimates

The estimation of variable consideration for each performance obligation requires the Company to make subjective judgments. The Company enters into contracts with customers that regularly include promises to transfer multiple services, such as digital marketing, web-based videos, offering statements, and professional services. For arrangements with multiple services, the Company evaluates whether the individual services qualify as distinct performance obligations. In its assessment of whether a service is a distinct performance obligation, the Company determines whether the customer can benefit from the service on its own or with other readily available resources, and whether the service is separately identifiable from other services in the contract. This evaluation requires the Company to assess the nature of each individual service offering and how the services are provided in the context of the contract, including whether the services are significantly integrated, highly interrelated, or significantly modify each other, which may require judgment based on the facts and circumstances of the contract.

When agreements involve multiple distinct performance obligations, the Company allocates arrangement consideration to all performance obligations at the inception of an arrangement based on the relative standalone selling prices (SSP) of each performance obligation. Where the Company has standalone sales data for its performance obligations which are indicative of the price at which the Company sells a promised service separately to a customer, such data is used to establish SSP. In instances where standalone sales data is not available for a particular performance obligation, the Company estimates SSP by the use of observable market and cost-based inputs. The Company continues to review the factors used to establish list price and will adjust standalone selling price methodologies as necessary on a prospective basis.

Service Revenue

Service revenue from subscriptions to the Company’s game website is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contractual subscription term beginning on the date that the platform is made available to the customer. Payments received in advance of subscription services being rendered are recorded as a deferred revenue. Professional services revenue is recognized over time as the services are rendered.

When a contract with a customer is signed, the Company assesses whether collection of the fees under the arrangement is probable. The Company estimates the amount to reserve for uncollectible amounts based on the aging of the contract balance, current and historical customer trends, and communications with its customers. These reserves are recorded as operating expenses against the contract assets.

Contract Assets

Contract assets are recorded for those parts of the contract consideration not yet invoiced but for which the performance obligations are completed. The revenue is recognized when the customer receives services. Contract assets are included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenues represent billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and are recognized upon transfer of control. Balances consist primarily of annual plan subscription services and professional services not yet provided as of the balance sheet date. Deferred revenues that will be recognized during the succeeding twelve-month period are recorded as current deferred revenues in the consolidated balance sheets, with the remainder recorded as other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

-11-

Costs to Obtain a Customer Contract

Sales commissions and related expenses are considered incremental and recoverable costs of acquiring customer contracts. These costs are capitalized as other current or non-current assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, which approximates the benefit period. The benefit period was estimated by taking into consideration the length of customer contracts, technology lifecycle, and other factors. All sales commissions are recorded as consulting fees within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The Company’s subscription terms are typically less than one year. All of the Company’s revenues in the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, which amounted to $142,227 and $1,519,809, respectively, are considered contract revenues. Contract revenue as of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, which has not yet been recognized, amounted to $445 and $466, respectively, and is recorded on the balance sheet as deferred revenue. The Company expects to recognize revenue on all of its remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue is from U.S.-based companies with no notable geographical concentrations in any area. A distinction exists in revenue source; revenues are either generated online or from consulting services.

Revenues disaggregated by revenue source consist of the following:

Three Months Ended July 31, 2024Three Months Ended July 31, 2023
Consulting services$—$1,143,700
Fees from online services142,227376,109
Total revenues$142,227$1,519,809

Note 4 –Earnings Per Common Share

Net income per common and diluted share were calculated as follows for the three-month periods ended July 31, 2024 and 2023:

Three Months Ended July 31, 2024Three Months Ended July 31, 2023
Net loss attributable to common stockholders – basic$(2,527,170)$(491,655)
Adjustments to net income——
Net loss attributable to common stockholders – diluted$(2,527,170)$(491,655)
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic495,319106,732
Effect of dilutive securities——
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted495,319106,732
Loss per common share - basic$(5.10)$(4.61)
Loss per common share - diluted$(5.10)$(4.61)

Four (4) shares of common stock that are issuable pursuant to a stock subscription agreement are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended July 31, 2023 because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Outstanding vested warrants to purchase 885,727 and 22,844 shares of common stock are not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Outstanding vested options to purchase 12,787 and 6,000 shares of common stock are not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Note 5 –Principal Financing Arrangements

The following table summarizes components debt as of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024:

July 31, 2024April 30, 2024Interest Rate
U.S. SBA loan$500,000$500,0003.75%
U.S. SBA loan1,885,8001,885,8001.0%
Loan payable – bank34,32434,32410.9%
Total Debt2,420,1242,420,124
Less: current portion of long-term debt1,920,1241,920,124
Total long-term debt$500,000$500,000

The Company owes $34,324 as of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024 to Chase Bank. For the loan from Chase Bank, the Company pays interest only on a monthly basis, which represents a rate of 10.9% per annum as of July 31, 2024.

On June 17, 2020 the Company borrowed $500,000 (the “June Loan”), and on February 2, 2021, the Company borrowed $1,885,800 (the “February Loan”) from a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan program.

The June Loan required installment payments of $2,437 monthly, beginning on June 17, 2021, over a term of thirty years. However, the SBA postponed the first installment payment for 18 months, and the first payment became due on December 17, 2022. The monthly payments of $2,437 are first applied to accrued interest payable. The monthly payments will not be applied to any of the outstanding principal balance until 2026. Consequently, the entire loan balance of $500,000 is classified as a long term liability. Interest accrues at a rate of 3.75% per annum. The Company agreed to grant a continuing security interest in its assets to secure payment and performance of all debts, liabilities, and obligations to the SBA. The June Loan was personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

The February Loan bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum and the due date of the first payment has been postponed by the SBA because the Company has applied for forgiveness of the February Loan.

Note 9 –Fair Value

The Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

●Level 1: inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
●Level 2: inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
●Level 3: inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024:

Level 1Level 2Level 3Total
Equity securities at fair value$—$25,343,513$—$25,343,513
Equity securities at fair value$—$25,333,386$—$25,333,386

Under the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, we base fair value on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon management’s own estimates, are often calculated based on current pricing policy, the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used.

Note 10 –Stock-Based Compensation Plans

In addition to cash payments, the Company enters agreements to issue common stock and records the applicable non-cash expense in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

Note 12 –Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with defined useful lives are generally measured at cost less straight-line amortization. The useful life is determined using the period of the underlying contract or the period of time over which the intangible asset can be expected to be used. Impairments are recognized if the recoverable amount of the asset is lower than the carrying amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of either the fair value less costs to sell or the value in use. The value in use is determined on the basis of future cash inflows and outflows, and the weighted average cost of capital. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, such as trade names and trademarks, that have been acquired as part of acquisitions are measured at cost and tested for impairment annually, or if there is an indication that their value has declined.

The following table sets forth the major categories of the intangible assts as of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024

July 31, 2024April 30, 2024

Less: accumulated amortization79,81870,949
Net intangible assets$14,724,136$14,733,005

As of July 31, 2024, the weighted average remaining useful life for technology, trade names, professional practice, literary works and domains is 12.76 years. Accumulated amortization amounted to $79,818 and $70,949 as of July 31, 2024 and April 30, 2024, resulting in net intangible assets of $14,724,136 and $14,733,005, respectively.

Note 14 –Going Concern Matters and Realization of Assets

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, as of July 31, 2024, we had negative working capital of $2,507,576 and for the three months ended July 31, 2024, we had an operating loss of $2,508,237 and net cash used in operating activities amounted to $1,963,645.

-22-

There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. The Company has recently reduced its operating expenses and has turned its focus to its funding portal business, which generates cash revenues and has seen a growth in revenues on a year-to-year basis. The Company plans to continue operating with lower fixed overhead amounts and seeks to raise money from private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing. The Company’s management has determined, based on its recent history and the negative cash flow from operations, that it is unlikely that its plan will sufficiently alleviate or mitigate, to a sufficient level, the relevant conditions or events noted above. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing, if available, are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company’s management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its business plan objectives or be able to achieve or maintain cash-flow-positive operating results. If the Company is unable to generate adequate funds from operations or raise sufficient additional funds, the Company may not be able to repay its existing debt, continue to operate its business network, respond to competitive pressures or fund its operations. As a result, the Company may be required to significantly reduce, reorganize, discontinue or shut down its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

Note 15 –Subsequent Events

At-The-Market Agreement

On August 23, 2024, the Company entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), to sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, (the “Shares”) having an aggregate sales price of up to $2,100,000, from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program under which Wainwright will act as sales agent. The sales, if any, of the Shares made under the ATM Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company will pay Wainwright a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of Shares. As of the date of this filing, the Company has sold 56,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the ATM Agreement at a price of $2.73 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $148,294. The Company anticipates that the at-the-market offering will continue throughout the next reporting period.

Regained Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements

On August 19, 2024, we received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), dated August 19, 2024, informing us that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as the bid price of our common stock closed at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days since August 2, 2024.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us, Nasdaq had previously notified us on September 1, 2023 that we were not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule because our common stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. Further as of July 22, 2024, Nasdaq determined that that our securities had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days and as a result, Nasdaq delivered written notice to the Company on July 23, 2024 under which it advised us that Nasdaq has determined to delist our securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market. We requested a hearing to appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination, but since the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements as described above, the hearing was cancelled.

On July 29, 2024, following shareholder approval we filed articles of amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code to effectuate a 1-for-70 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which Articles of Amendment became effective on August 1, 2024. The Reverse Stock Split became effective at 4:01pm Eastern Time on August 1, 2024, and our common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis at the open of trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on August 2, 2024. Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, every seventy (70) shares of our common stock issued and outstanding were automatically reclassified and combined into one share of our common stock, without any change in the par value per share. Additionally, equitable adjustments corresponding to the Reverse Stock Split ratio were made to (i) the exercise prices of and number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s public and private warrants in accordance with their terms, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards in accordance with their terms, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plan. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share instead became entitled to receive one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share. Following the Reverse Stock Split, we had 718,934 shares of our common stock outstanding, which includes 139,781 shares of our common stock that were issued for rounding up fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split is retroactively reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and loss per share data.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were available to be issued.
