Current report
Our revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2025, increased by $47,831, or approximately 34%, to $190,058 as compared to $142,227 during the three months ended July 31, 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily attributed to an increase in portal fees and an increase in revenues for the services that we provide in exchange for equity securities during the quarter ended July 31, 2025, as compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2024. One issuer, that accounted for 73% of our revenues in the three months ended July 31, 2025, was responsible for the increase. That issuer successfully raised approximately $5 million from March 24, 2025 to May 30, 2025.
Current report
Revenue from portal fees increased by $33,299, or approximately 37%, in the three months ended July 31, 2025, to $122,728, from $89,429 in the three months ended July 31, 2024. Revenue from portal fees consists of a 4.9% fee of the total capital raised by an issuer plus fixed miscellaneous charges for administrative fees, such as a rolling close, or the filing of an amended offering statement. The increase in portal fees is attributable to one major customer, as noted above. Similarly, the increase in the 1% equity fee charged to issuers, from $10,127 in fiscal 2024 to $62,195 in fiscal 2025, is attributable to one customer. The total number of issuers on the funding portal in the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 that successfully closed an offering was 3 and 11, respectively.
Current report
The number of successful closings in a quarter is defined as an issuer that raised more than the targeted amount in its offering statement and stopped selling securities on our funding portal (a “Final Closing”). This number is not necessarily an indicator of quarterly revenue because an issuer may have several rolling closes in previous quarters before the Final Closing, and the funding portal receives its 4.9% portal fee for each rolling close.
Current report
Revenue from listing fees decreased by $37,500, or approximately 88%, to $5,000 in the three months ended July 31, 2025 as compared to $42,500 in the three months ended July 31, 2024. Listing fees are typically $5,000 per issuer, and they are the first form of revenue earned by our funding portal when an issuer signs a contract with us to sell securities on the funding portal. The drop in listing fees is attributable to a decrease in new offerings launched. For the three months ended July 31, 2025, we launched 5 new offerings, as compared to 13 offerings launched in the three months ended July 31, 2024.
Current report
Payroll and payroll related expenses increased by $656,857, or approximately 58%, to $1,793,450 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, as compared to $1,136,593 during the three months ended July 31, 2024. The increase was attributed to the salary increases and bonuses for certain key positions, to assist with employee retention, during the quarter ended July 31, 2025.
Current report
Marketing expense increased by $4,540, or approximately 66%, to $11,438 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, as compared to $6,898 during the three months ended July 31, 2024. The increase in expense was primarily attributed to new marketing efforts in the July 31, 2025 quarter to take advantage of additional cash resources.
Current report
Rent expense increased by $3,736, or approximately 20%, to $22,852 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, as compared to $19,116 during the three months ended July 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributed to a month-to-month rent agreement that we now have, as compared to an annual agreement in the prior fiscal year.
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased by $188,250, or 14%, to $1,568,506 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, from $1,380,256 during the three months ended July 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributed to increased legal costs. We incurred approximately $1,077,587 in legal costs in the three months ended July 31, 2025, of which approximately 60% were related to legal fees responding to regulatory matters as compared to approximately $442,288 in legal costs in the three months ended July 31, 2024 of which approximately 60% were related to legal fees responding to regulatory matters.

Regained Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements
Previous report
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.
Previous report
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.
Previous report
Our revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2025, decreased by $890,111, or approximately 85%, to $152,682, as compared to $1,042,793 during the three months ended January 31, 2024. The decrease in revenues was attributed to the lack of consulting service revenue for equity securities in the quarter ended January 31, 2025, as compared to revenue of $862,346 for consulting services for equity securities in the three months ended January 31, 2024. In fiscal 2025, management has focused on establishing a broker-dealer subsidiary so that the Company may have additional sources of revenue, and we have not been pursuing the equity-based revenue contracts. Effective November 22, 2024, the Company received approval from FINRA to have a broker-dealer subsidiary. No revenues have been generated by the newly formed broker-dealer subsidiary.

The decrease in revenues was primarily attributed to a decrease in the number of new issuers launching an offering on the funding portal, which decreased to 6 in the quarter ended January 31, 2025, from 27 for the quarter ended January 31, 2024. The components of revenue were as follows:

We believe that our existing cash investment balances, our anticipated cash flows from operations and liquidity sources including offering of equity and/or debt securities and/or the sale of equity positions in certain portfolio companies for which we provide marketing and strategic advice may not be sufficient to meet our working capital and expenditure requirements for the next 12 months. Consequently, beginning in November 2023, we laid off some employees, and took other stepsto reduce operating expenses. We plan to continue operating with lower fixed overhead amounts and seek to raise money from private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing. Our 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, we 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. Accordingly, the Company’s management has concluded that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our business plan objectives or be able to achieve or maintain cash-flow-positive operating results. If we are unable to generate adequate funds from operations or raise sufficient additional funds, we may not be able to repay our existing debt, continue to operate our business network, respond to competitive pressures or fund our operations. As a result, we may be required to significantly reduce, reorganize, discontinue or shut down our operations.
